The 3,000 cavalry of the Mengyuan barbarian Zi Hague tentatively attacked, rolling up a line of dust, with 300 forwards in front, followed by 2,700, and rushed straight to the left army formation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The left army formation of the Qingfeng Army is the 7,000 Sizhou Army led by Deng Yu, which is the elite unit of the Qingfeng Army crossing the river, whose combat power is second only to the Chang Yuchun cavalry, and this army has always had rich combat experience.

Since the twelfth year of Zhizheng, this army was formed by Deng Yu's father, so far, after a hundred battles, even the commander has changed three people, and after the training in Luzhou, equipped with a large number of new armor and firearms, the combat power is indeed not what it used to be, not to be underestimated.

According to Deng Yu's consistent practice of taking the lead, at this time the enemy's cavalry rushed into battle, Deng Yu should directly lead the 2,000 cavalry behind him, and use cavalry against cavalry to attack the enemy's temptation and suppress it back, the enemy lost 1,000, and I lost 800, which was also a helpless tactic of lack of firearms.

However, at this time, the Sizhou army was no longer the Sizhou army of the past, and its tactics had been adjusted, equipped with a large number of artillery, and there was no need to use cavalry against cavalry when fighting against the enemy.

Deng Yu sat on the horse in front of the infantry and cavalry formations, calmly, and looked at the enemy with a monocular.

The enemy's cavalry was as clear as if it were right in front of him, and even the hideous expression on the cavalryman's face could be seen clearly, and he could even see the cavalry rushing to the front, and there was a gap in the sabre.

In the blink of an eye, the enemy's cavalry had entered within three hundred paces, for this kind of small-scale attack, according to the combat ethics of Luzhou drills, Deng Yu gave an order: "Open the cannon!" ”

The officers of the firearms battalion in front of the military formation carried a wooden whistle in the air and a red flag in their hands.

"Both—all—"

The wooden whistle blew a tense rhythm for the various gunners to prepare, and the commander spat out the wooden whistle and shouted, "First team prepares - release!" ”

At the same time as he gave the order, the red flag in his hand waved violently, and the smoke of gunpowder immediately rose in the military formation.

In the smoke of gunpowder, dazzling fire erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, accompanied by a thunderous explosion, and the forty guns of the first echelon poured out forty large lead shot shells one after another, like a thunderbolt, and smashed directly into the enemy's vanguard.

For a time, the cannonballs entered the enemy's formation, and the cavalry forward of the three hundred charges, as if hit by hail, the people turned on their horses, and the horses roared.

Three hundred steps, is the most effective range of the Qingfeng army's artillery, forty projectiles, the three hundred people of the army formation pierced, people on their backs neighed, has been pierced through the general formation, the middle of the people and horses are broken, the flesh and blood are blurred, the shells are still not gone, directly into the cavalry formation behind the follow-up, the cavalry formation behind, countless riders in the frightened war horse off the horse.

There are even more projectiles, which enter the military formation, forming ricochetic shells, cannonballs flying sideways, and overturning several nearby war horses!

This round of artillery alone has already damaged more than half of the enemy's 300 elite forwards, and the enemy's charging momentum has been greatly weakened!

"Good!" Deng Yue was slowly full of joy, and the excited punch hammered on the saddle!

It's so exciting, it's so exciting!

Deng Yu has not lost a single soldier, and he has already caused hundreds of casualties to the enemy, this is the power of long-range firearm strikes, with this artifact, why worry about the enemy not being destroyed!

The first round of artillery has just sounded, and the commander of the artillery commander has ordered the second and third artillery echelons, the second to fire, and the first echelon is immediately followed!

According to the speed of artillery loading, the Qingfeng Army set up a three-stage combat style!

After the first echelon fires the artillery, it needs to be reloaded, and the loading process of the artillery, after skilled training, several people work together to operate an artillery.

The gunner wipes the gunner with a long handle, tied with a sackcloth, and sticks into the muzzle, the thickness of the sackcloth is about the same as the muzzle, and the whole strip is stabbed a few times, and the residue in the bore is cleaned up, and the bore is wiped off.

The moment the strip left the muzzle, the charger wrapped the gunpowder, which had already weighed it, wrapped it in silk, and stuffed it into the muzzle with a piece of silk.

The other was followed by a pass and compacted the gunpowder with the pass bar.

The loader holds the lead shot and puts it into the muzzle, and a general hand comes to compact the shell.

At the same time, the gunner, who is responsible for ignition, pierces the silk of the ignition port and inserts the fuse, and the loading of a gun is completed, and it can be ignited and fired at any time.

In addition, there are two soldiers, who are responsible for adjusting the gun position, and a ten-man commander and a sergeant commander, who are responsible for aiming and coordinating various processes.

An artillery, operated by ten people, although this process looks troublesome, there are different people to play different roles, but these specially trained artillerymen, assembly operations, each person performs their own duties, just like a few people around the artillery in a circle, a gun is loaded, the speed is extremely fast, in the other two rounds of firing time, the first echelon of artillery has been loaded, ready to fire!

The gunners of the three echelons did the same, and it seemed that there were an endless number of forty guns, always firing at intervals of ten seconds, and as long as the military formation was not torn apart and the ammunition was not exhausted, then these guns could continue to fight.

Two rounds of artillery have already thrown the army of 3,000 cavalry into chaos, the enemy dropped thousands of corpses, turned the horse's head, and began to retreat, Deng Yu naturally refused to let the enemy retreat calmly, and fired two rounds of artillery to give him a ride!

Seventy paces was the effective range of the enemy's horse archers, but before the enemy's 3,000 cavalry could rush into the effective range of the bow and arrow, they had already been beaten back.

Deng Yu's Sizhou army was not without casualties, a reloaded hand was too focused on circling around the artillery, accidentally tripped over a stone, and broke a piece of flesh in the palm of his hand, which was the only wounded soldier of the Qingfeng army in this round of tentative attack on the barbarian Hague.

Of course, this wounded soldier broke his skin, which was not considered an injury, but was beaten by Jiao Lu, the head of the firearms battalion, on the grounds of a mistake in the operation process and delaying the timing of the operation.

When the enemy retreats, we fight, this is the consistent practice of warfare in ancient times!

Deng Yu saw that the enemy soldiers had retreated, and wanted to chase after him with his cavalry, and broke the military formation of the barbarian Hague, but Deng Yue did not dare to make an assertion without authorization, and looked at the command flag of the Chinese army three times with a telescope, and saw that the commander of the Chinese army did not give an order to pursue, Deng Yue did not dare to make an assertion, so he had to give up!

The enemy lost for a while, Hao Ren should have ordered the pursuit, he knew that he was pursuing, and he could not catch up with these cavalry, but instead rushed into the enemy's formation 200 paces, and had to encounter the enemy's firearms, ballistas, and catapults, and the barbarian Hague army was so neat that it was impossible to break the enemy's military formation in one fell swoop.

Sun Tzu said: Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible for themselves first, and they can be defeated in the ground, and they can be defeated in the enemy, but they cannot be defeated in themselves!

When the strength of the two armies is equal, it is necessary to ensure that the enemy does not leak the flaws that the enemy can defeat, let himself not be defeated by the enemy, wait for the enemy to leak the flaws, and then take advantage of the weakness to enter and storm its weak links to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The barbarian Hague only lost a tentative attack, and the Qingfeng army was not a victory at all, the enemy's forces were still strong, and the army was still tightly organized.

Hao Ren currently doesn't have the tricks to break the barbarian Hague, but he wants to see what other tricks the barbarian Hague has to break the Qingfeng army! (To be continued.) )
