When the horsetail soldiers began to shoot, Liu Xing and the other Wu soldiers who rushed over were all sneering in their hearts, and it seemed that the horsetail army on the opposite side had been out of order. It's no wonder that cavalry charges are already a lot of pressure on foot soldiers, and it's normal to shoot early, and it's not the first time they've seen this situation. According to past experience, the general firecracker, that is, the shotgun equipped by the Wu army, can only penetrate this layer of armor within thirty steps, that is, no more than fifty meters, and shooting at a position of 100 or tens of meters like this now can only consume ammunition in vain.

Not only Liu Xing and the other Wu Jun who were rushing into battle, but even Wu Yingqi, who was watching the battle in the back, also had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Before coming to Jiangxi, my uncle also emphasized to me that I should not underestimate this horsetail army, and now I look at what the sergeant on the opposite side is doing, which is really disappointing." The commander of the army on the opposite side is also a waste material, and the bird gun is also a little powerful in front of it, and the lethality is almost zero at a hundred paces away, not to mention whether it can penetrate the armor on our body, I'm afraid that the projectile can't fly that far! ”

As soon as Wu Yingqi's words came out, the generals around him also burst into laughter, and the other Wu Jun mostly laughed mixed with disdain. It's just that at this time, the Mawei Army on the opposite side was still shooting at the oncoming Wu cavalry in an orderly manner under the command of Han Baohu, with only the enemy in their eyes, and they didn't care what the enemy's expression was at this time. The gunshots continued to ring. Liu Xing's expression, which was charging, slowly began to become surprised. Because he was in the middle, he had already seen the cavalry running at the forefront falling off their horses one by one under the sound of gunfire.

Liu Xing and Wu Jun stared at a pair of bull's eyes in disbelief and looked at the one that happened in front of them. "What the hell is going on. How could the Horsetail Army's bird guns hit so far? He roared angrily, but then he also came to his senses, the information he had received before was indeed not exaggerated, this was true, but now that he knew this fact, it was impossible to retreat, and the speed of the horse's charge was quite fast, basically reaching fifteen or sixteen meters per second. Just these few seconds of effort, one hundred and fifty distances, is shortened by half.

"Hmph, these Wu soldiers really think that they can eat us with only these five hundred cavalry, it's really overwhelming!" Zhu Hu, who was standing in the middle of the road, looked at the Wu cavalry who kept falling off his horse and sneered secretly in his heart: "If it is an ordinary bird gun, it is true that it can only penetrate them wearing armor within thirty or fifty meters, but our musket is comparable to ordinary bird guns, this distance of more than 100 meters, even if they are wearing double heavy armor, our mini bullets can also penetrate through the armor!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of gunshots like fried beans was endless. The cavalry of the Wu army who were charging fell off their horses like dumplings, and this scene made Wu Yingzhi and other Wu troops in the rear stunned. The gunfire continued. When the five hundred cavalry rushed to a position about sixty meters away from the front of the horse rejection pile, more than half of the five hundred cavalry led by Liu Xing had fallen on the road, and in a few seconds, thousands of horsetail soldiers had already fired one shot each, and a thousand bullets hit the dense cavalry array in front of them. This part of the cavalry of the Wu army is the elite in the end, although they are only in their early two hundred at this time, but these cavalry are still not afraid of death, after seeing the range of the bow and arrow, they sat up again from the horse that was close to it, and bent the bow and arrow towards the position of the horsetail army in front.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

A dense rain of arrows flew into the sky, accompanied by such a whistling sound. At this time, the disadvantages of the horsetail army's inadequate preparation came out, they were cavalry in the end, the army was not equipped with shields at all, more than two hundred arrows roared and flew towards the horsetail soldiers, although because they were arranged in a short three rows, so that most of the arrows were shot empty, but there were also more than thirty people who were hit by arrows, and suddenly continuous muffled snorts and screams rang out. This round of arrow rain of the Wu army took the lives of more than a dozen horsetail cavalry soldiers, but listening to the screams of their comrades-in-arms, the other soldiers did not panic, but calmly continued to reload and shoot!

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The guns continued to sound continuously, and this time because the distance was already very close, the soldiers could barely aim at the huge target in front of them, and in the roar, more and more cavalry fell. It's good that the cavalry of the Wu army is far away, and the war horse can still accept the gunfire like a popping bean, which is getting closer and closer, plus the war horse next to him is injured, the remaining war horses are indeed frightened, and the Wu cavalry on the horse is also a little uncontrollable.

At a distance of sixty meters, Liu Xing and other Wu cavalry only took five or six seconds, which can be said to be instantaneous, and in this short time, the horsetail soldiers also fired a bullet again. The remaining 200 cavalry of the Wu army were like targets in front of them, and after the continuous gunfire, one cavalry fell. At such a fast speed, even if only an intact person fell off the horse, it would be a serious injury if he didn't die, and then he looked at the front of him, and there were only less than a hundred horsemen left in front of the horse rejection pile.

When these remaining Wu troops have come to the front, although most of them have been lost at this time, it has also completely stimulated their blood, and it is impossible to turn around and escape, so it is likely to be shot from behind by bullets, so it is better to rush directly than that. Although it was only a hundred cavalry, as long as the formation of the horsetail army was disrupted, the rest was slaughter. However, when they wanted to jump over the horse-rejecting stake as a barrier, they were surprised to find that this horse-rejecting stake, which was not too high from a distance, was four feet high, that is, close to one meter five, and what was even worse was that the horsetail army had buried a total of five rows, and the horse-rejecting stake was not neatly arranged, but like the teeth of a beast. The rows are also not far apart, only two meters away.

From a distance, it's hard to see the difference. But recently, I found out that it was these desperate rows of horse rejection stakes that completely stumped these elite cavalry of the Wu army. Even though these elite horsemen are trained on horseback all year round. But few people can jump over such a lack of moral obstacles. Many people rushed in between the first row and skipped the second row, and their speed dropped immediately. It was even more carried by a huge inertia that they didn't have time to make adjustments before they crashed into the third row of horse rejection piles, and the spikes on the horse rejection piles were inserted into the body of the war horse, and the war horse neighed miserably, and fell down with the knight on the horse. Most of the people either hit the spikes or were stumbled in front of the horse after jumping over one or two rows of horse-rejecting piles, but there are very few people who can jump over safely with the horse, accounting for 30% of the total.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Before a Wu cavalryman who had finally jumped over the horse rejection stake had time to wipe off the cold sweat on his face, he found that several javelins were shooting at him from different directions, and the direction of these javelins was also very tricky. Some targets are horses, while others are aimed at him, and the Wu cavalry, who lost his horse speed, was immediately shot off his horse alive by several javelins, and then chopped into meat sauce with a saber by the horsetail soldiers who rushed up behind.

Just when Zhu Hu led the horsetail soldiers to fight with the cavalry of the Wu army, Wu Yingqi, who was standing in more than a mile and fighting, became more and more iron-blue, just now he saw with his own eyes a scene that he couldn't believe, his elite cavalry was actually knocked off the horse one by one by the horsetail army foot soldiers who were still despised by the opposite side like shooting birds, and they had no power to fight back. Five hundred cavalry, in just a few minutes, the whole army was wiped out. He shook his fingers in horror and pointed to the battle situation in front of him and asked in a trembling voice, "Who can tell me what the hell is going on?" Why can the muskets of the horsetail army on the opposite side hit so far? How can our sons and daughters not even have the strength to fight back? ”

Many of the generals of the Wu army were also still in shock, and they had not come back to their senses until now, and the scene in front of them completely broke their cognition. Is this still a foot battle, this result is completely reversed. It was supposed to be a slaughtering infantry with the cavalry falling on one side, but now it has become a slaughtering cavalry with the infantry on the one side, when did the cavalry become so vulnerable? Wu Yingqi rode on the horse and walked forward a few steps irritably, with a gloomy look on his face, and said slowly: "Uncle is still prescient, I still underestimated the horsetail army on the opposite side, Liu Xing and they don't have much left, hurry up and order someone to blow the trumpet and let Liu Xing lead people to withdraw, otherwise it will be too late!" ”

Wu Yingzhi gave an order, and the herald behind him immediately blew the horn to let Liu Xing retreat, but at this time, Liu Xing and the remaining hundred cavalry of the Wu army had already rushed into the horse rejection pile formation, and those who did not enter only fell in the last twenty or so horses.

"Woo~~~~Woo~~~~Woo~~~~"

"Woo~~~~Woo~~~~Woo~~~~"

"Woo~~~~Woo~~~~Woo~~~~"

The desolate horn echoed on the battlefield, and Liu Xing, who was swearing to attack the Mawei Army, heard the horn of the retreating army and wanted to lead the remnants to retreat, but at this moment, although he rushed into the Mawei Army formation with his excellent riding skills, he had been completely mixed with the Mawei Army, but it was extremely difficult to retreat, or it was impossible at all. His saber had already killed two horsetails and wounded several others, but he had also been hit by two javelins. Just after the horn sounded, he was stunned, and with a bang, a bullet accurately hit his heart, and suddenly the strength of his whole body seemed to leave his body in an instant. Holding the knife in his right hand, he wanted to swing it twice, but he couldn't do it.

The 500 cavalry of the Wu army finally returned with only 15 cavalry, and three of them were shot in their bodies, which is not an exaggeration to describe the annihilation of the whole army. And the loss of the Mawei army is not strict, the Wu cavalry shot a total of three rounds of arrow rain in the process of charging the formation, hundreds of arrows with the impact of the war horse fell on the Mawei army formation several times, the first time more than 30 people fell, the second round and the third round were closer, more injured or killed, after the destruction of the Wu cavalry, only two or three minutes, Zhu Hu got the report of each squadron, after the statistics, the number of casualties also made him heartbroken. Not to mention the wounded, the number of killed in battle reached eighty, ninety-five seriously wounded, and only ten lightly wounded. After all, being shot by an arrow is either seriously injured or killed in battle, and minor injuries are really rare. (To be continued......)
