Chapter 106: Rushing to the battle

Yang Tingjian led more than 1,100 cavalrymen all the way, and did not dare to delay in the slightest. Yang Tingjian deeply understood in his heart that it was still very difficult for hoplites and musketeers to defend a relatively long section of the remnant wall when the troops were at an absolute disadvantage, and Yang Tingjian had to speed up, and as for the horsepower, there was no need to consider it for the time being.

The sound of horses' hooves was endless, and the flying dust was like a dragon winding forward. Yang Tingjian took out a satellite map while running, and then judged his location according to the general plot around him.

"Le Yichuan, tell my brother to speed up, there are still a few minutes to go to Shanghuyukou."

Le Yichuan and Yang Tingjian go hand in hand, the two rushed to the front of the team, Le Yichuan is a Mongolian, grew up in Mongolia since he was a child, and only joined Jinyiwei when he became an adult, Le Yichuan is also familiar with the terrain in this area.

"My lord, there are still about five miles, but I don't know if the Mongolian army has entered the canyon, we don't hesitate to gallop like this, if we suddenly encounter the Mongolian army, it is extremely bad."

Le Yichuan grew up on horseback since he was a child, and he still has a deep understanding of the tactics of cavalry, if Yang Tingjian meets the Mongolian army now, the war horses under their crotch will not be able to rush up at all, and they will be much slower than the Mongolian cavalry in speed.

The speed of this cavalry duel is also one of the important factors in victory, not to mention that Yang Tingjian They are also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, the only advantage is that Yang Tingjian They have Gothic plate armor, but is Gothic plate armor really omnipotent? Absolutely not, the Mongol cavalry could have attacked the war horse under their crotch first, and the cavalry wearing Gothic plate armor fell off the horse running at high speed, it was not fun, the injury was absolute, and it was not good to lose your life.

Yang Tingjian said confidently:

"Don't be afraid, let's bombard with five-eyed guns while charging, more than a thousand five-eyed guns will kill a thousand of them, this will at least defeat those Mongols, this is our chance, as for the remaining cavalry to hedge, then they will have their own destiny, and there is no risk in fighting."

The five-eyed gun used by the recruits of the Jinyi Guard can be fired five times in a row, with a range of more than 300, and there is no pressure to break a layer of iron armor within 200 meters. Keep in mind that these five-eyed guns only need to be ignited once, and they can be fired every three seconds until the five rounds are finished, and there can be no pause and control in the middle.

In fact, it makes sense to design the five-eyed gun in this way, and the cavalry hedges, even if they use a bow and arrow with a very fast rate of fire, there are only three shots at the enemy. If the five-eyed gun is fired one at a time, it will be wasted if it is not hit, because when the cavalry is hand-to-hand, it is necessary to use the five-eyed gun as a heavy weapon, as long as the five-eyed gun is smashed on the enemy's body, then the gunpowder and projectiles in the five-eyed gun will be shocked out, isn't it a waste?

The five-eyed gun is a continuous firing method, which can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, depending on how the user chooses.

In a large-scale cavalry duel in the cold wind, Le Yichuan had no experience, he used to rely on personal martial arts to hunt down the enemy, and Yiqiē could only learn war in the midst of war.

Soon, Yang Tingjian heard the rumbling cannons, it seems that there is a fight in the Huyukou Gorge, and now I don't know what the situation is, at this time Yang Tingjian led the tired cavalry, the weather of the twelve, it was already very cold, but the war horses under their crotches were already sweating profusely.

Yang Tingjian did not dare to stop for a while, and continued to whip and drive the horse to gallop, and soon Yang Tingjian rushed to Shanghuyukou with men and horses, the width of the three tiger passes is about more than 500 meters, and the mountains on both sides are also relatively steep.

As soon as Yang Tingjian arrived at Shanghuyukou, he found that countless cavalry in the Huyukou Gorge were charging towards Shanghuyukou, and the momentum of this galloping horse was earth-shattering, and the vibration from the ground made Yang Tingjian's war horses under their crotch restless.

"Shoot the sky...... Fast Column Three-Stage Strike Formation...... Fast...... Hiss"

A soldier quickly lit a cupola, and the cupola flew into the sky with a long stream of green smoke, and then exploded with a "boom", and red fireworks flew everywhere in the air, forming a red fireball that hung in the air for a second or two.

The other cavalry hurriedly stood in a column of capital divisions. (The metropolitan division is an official position between 100 households and 1,000 households, with a metropolitan division leading 300 households, and a 1,000 household having four metropolitan divisions.) )

The cavalry led by Yang Tingjian quickly formed four columns according to their usual training, the first three columns were three-stage strikes, and the fourth column was the reserve troops.

Attack, don't think about it, Yang Tingjian's war horse under their crotch is extremely tired, at least rest for an hour before they can charge, the war horse bought by Shandong can only be used as a war horse, don't talk about any endurance.

The cavalry of the first column had been prepared, the arquebuses had been lit, and the five-eyed guns in their hands were held flat.

Yang Tingjian and Le Yichuan both stood on the left side of the first row, and Yang Tingjian found that although there were many of these Mongols, the formation of the charge was very chaotic, and they looked like they wanted to break up.

The sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and the overwhelming momentum of these thousands of cavalry charges is still very scary, and the Jinyi Guard cavalry is also the first time to face such a large-scale cavalry, it is impossible not to be nervous.

Countless people's hands holding the five-eyed guns were shaking, although their faces were covered by steel masks, but Yang Tingjian could understand their feelings, as long as they could survive, they would be a qualified soldier, otherwise they would be waste.

"Five hundred meters...... 400 meters ......"

A pro-soldier gave a thumbs up, squinted one eye, and loudly reported the distance of the Mongol Tartars as he measured the distance.

"Three hundred and fifty meters ......"

"Three hundred meters...... Two hundred and fifty meters ......"

Yang Tingjian didn't want to put more pressure on his subordinates, and the ideal killing distance of the five-eyed gun with rifling was two hundred to fifty meters. But Yang Tingjian was afraid that his soldiers would not be able to bear the tension of the first battle, so he immediately shouted:

"The first column shoots...... Sneer...... Bang bang"

No matter how nervous the soldiers' hearts were, how much their hands trembled, they could ignite the lead on the five-eyed gun, and the fuse immediately "snorted" and burned, and the Jinyi Guard cavalry hurriedly stretched the five-eyed gun on the head of the war horse, and at the same time aimed at the charging Mongolian cavalry.

Three seconds later, the "bang" gunfire rang out continuously, and the projectile pierced the air to make a "whoosh" sound, and the firing of these five-eyed guns was much denser than that of the Shenwei musket, and one round of shooting was five consecutive shots.

In an instant, the Mongol Tartars, who had charged to two hundred places, were knocked off their horses by a dense barrage of buckshots, and even the war horses under their crotches were not spared, and the Tartars and horses were knocked to the ground by countless projectiles.
