Chapter 401: Musket Warriors
Hao Ren regretted a little at this time, he shouldn't have added the second-rate army to the main battle formation, but now it affects the entire military formation, this is his own decision-making mistake, no wonder others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ou Puxiang has no chance of being defeated and convicted, that shot pierced his neck, Ou Puxiang is an iron man, and it is difficult to have a chance to live.
"A thousand-person team called Chen Xiaoer!" Hao Ren ordered without hesitation.
Chen Xiaoer, whose big name is Chen Xian, is the younger brother of his wife Chen Xiaoyu and the younger brother of Chen Da, the head of the guard, and his brother-in-law who grew up in Hao Ren's mansion.
Don't look at Chen Xian's young age and humble background, but now his status is not ordinary, he is the son-in-law of Yu Que, the secretary of the Great Song Dynasty Rite Department. (Hao Ren's given pro elevated the Chen family, and locked the in-law relationship with Yu Que)
Although he is Hao Ren's brother-in-law, Hao Ren watched him grow up, and he trained him single-handedly, emotionally not different from father and son, and not inferior to master and apprentice in relationship.
The matter was urgent, Hao Ren did not have time to mobilize the cavalry of Yang Zhi's department that was pressed behind the army formation, and Yang notified the first army to protect the safety of the rear flank of the entire army formation, this army could not move easily, if this army did not hold down the position in the rear, the Song army with two or three hundred cavalry appeared behind it, which was enough to shake the military heart of the whole army.
Chen Xiaoer's outfit is no different from Hao Ren, with a white horse, white armor, and a white cloak, the difference is that there is no golden cloud dragon pattern on his cloak, and the Changmiao war knife hangs on his left waist, and the tongtong and fire/medicine bag are hung under his right waist, and he carries a five-foot arquebus on his back.
A thousand-man cavalry, under the leadership of Chen Xiaoer, rushed straight into the gap in the battlefield like the wind and sand rolled up on the flat ground, the war horses were galloping, the soldiers had already taken off the arquebus from their backs, blew up the velvet, operated the gun in their hands, and lit the fuse of the musket and the fire rope, and the war horse was galloping, and the ten hundred-man teams that were scattered before and after were clearly listed.
Seventy paces away from the gap in the battle formation, Chen Xian was firmly in the middle of the first hundred-man team, the speed of the war horse slowed down slightly, Chen Xian put the arquebus on his shoulder, and the horn in his mouth blew a short scale, a hundred arquebuses, and the first explosion.
With the huge explosion sound, black smoke billowed out, the barrel of the gun spewed flames, and under the huge push of the black powder explosion/explosion, hundreds of lead bullets roared out and hit the enemy group surging in.
The enemy broke through the shield at this time, and was expanding the results of the battle to the left and right wings, the shield was not on this plane, a hundred lead bullets shot through the enemy's armor, pierced through the enemy's flesh and skin, and dozens of Daxia soldiers, like harvested rice, fell in pieces.
Xia Jun heard for a long time that the Song army's artillery was powerful, but he never thought that the Song army's artillery was so small that it could be fired with his hand, and it was so powerful.
Hao Ren has long started to make muskets, at first because of the difficulty in making musket barrels, after having the barrel, and because of the lack of power, he has not been satisfied with the modification, until now, it has officially become an army, and there are only two thousand households, which are regarded as treasures by Hao Ren and included in the sequence of the Su Guard.
At this time, the power of the arquebus of the Song army was not much stronger than the single-shot crossbow of the Song army.
The hand crossbow is a small machine made of the principle of pulleys, and there are arrows in front of the crossbow arrows, the pointed arrows are easier to pierce the armor, and the tail fin behind makes the crossbow arrows glide very stable, and the Qingfeng repeater has a fast rate of fire, and the power is inferior to that of a single-shot crossbow.
The arquebus of the Song army, at this time, is a lead shot, although the use of the ignited arquebus as an excitation, greatly increases the firing speed, but the arquebus can only hit one lead shot at a time, the speed of reloading is very slow, and even the speed of re-excitation is not as fast as a single crossbow.
However, Hao Ren knew that the gun was the trend of the development of battlefield weapons later, although the performance at this time was far less than that of the repeater, but the musket must be really put into use, and then it could be gradually improved and created in use, which is why Hao Ren chose a teenager as a thousand households.
The boy was quick to learn new knowledge, and he was creative, and Hao Ren was ready to put Chen Xian in the position of musket commander until death, and with Hao Ren imparting his knowledge, he would inevitably be able to invent and improve.
Chen Xian's musket of a hundred-man team was released, and the speed of the war horse slowed down, and the second hundred-man team behind quickly rode forward, before surpassing the hundred-man team, they concocted the same way as before, and raised the gun to fire a salvo.
The musketeer team attacked five rounds, and the musket team of 1,000 people had rushed to the gap in the battlefield, under the huge impact pressure of the war horses, and there was the intimidation of the muskets, the Xia soldiers instinctively retreated, and the sixth and seventh hundredth teams that followed closely behind them had already carried the muskets behind them, brandishing the long seedling knife, slashing left and right, and clearing the remnants of the enemy who broke into the battlefield.
If the cavalry in Chen Xian's hand used the Qingfeng repeater, with the rapid rate of fire of the repeater, the lethality would definitely be greater than that of the arquebus, and what really repelled the enemy this time was not the power of the arquebus.
Xia Jun had never seen the guy in the hands of the soldiers of the Song Army, and he could breathe fire and smoke, and the loud noise alone was scary enough, not to mention that hundreds of soldiers had already fallen in a pool of blood.
"Tell Chen Xiaoer, don't entangle the military formation, and directly hit Ming Yuzhen's Chinese army!"
Hao Ren saw that the arquebus had such a great deterrent power, so he didn't want Chen Xiaoer to continue the regular strangulation in front of the battle, and ordered him to directly kill Ming Yuzhen in front of the military formation.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
A terrible horn sounded in the Chinese army, and the arquebus Qianhu Chen Xian had already received the order, first blowing the horn in response, and then blowing the horn to change the formation.
The five hundred-man teams that had already been fired quickly protected the left and right sides of the military formation, and the remaining five hundred-man teams picked up their arquebuses again, and the five hundred-man teams in front and behind lined up, and went straight to the depth of the enemy's military formation.
The war horses rushed in, the infantry instinctively retreated and scattered, and two rounds of muskets came down, and the military formation of the Xia army was rushed out of a large hole dozens of meters wide.
The 700 riders who had fired the arquebus, either wielding the Changmiao knife with the musket on their backs, or taking the musket upside down and smashing the enemy's head with the butt of the iron horn, and the 300 musketeers who protected the heart went straight to kill Ming Yuzhen's Chinese army.
"It's time, the Chinese army strikes!" Hao Ren gave the order, pulled out the treasure knife on his waist with a 'brush', slashed it in the air, knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and killed straight towards the gap. The four thousand Chinese army guards, carrying Hao Ren's Chinese army marshal flag, followed closely behind Hao Ren.
Since Hao Ren didn't have to fight himself to decide the outcome of the battlefield, he chose to charge his own Chinese army directly to boost morale.
In the entire Great Song Army, a kind of inertial thinking has been formed, as long as Hao Ren's handsome banner moves forward, it will announce that the victory of the Song Army has arrived.
The soldiers of the Song Army, who were slashing on the battlefield, saw Hao Ren's handsome flag flying high forward, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, their strength increased sharply, and the weapons in their hands were naturally more lethal. (To be continued.) )
