620 Cavalry (II)

If the Joan navy had been more flexible and prioritized the shooting of these overseers, the total collapse of the Houjin army would have been inevitable. It's a pity that at this time, the position of the Qiong Navy was already full of smoke, and everyone was looking for a target in the smoke, and when they saw an upright figure, they shot it down, and they didn't care about observing the general trend at all. And Xiao Lang has also left the command position, and can only be fought by the soldiers themselves.

However, the days of those supervising teams are actually not easy, you must know that bullets do not have long eyes, and stray bullets are especially common on the battlefield. They fell last in a net. Hold those minions who are trying to escape, but at the same time, they also "trap" a lot of stray bullets that fly - as they walk, their companions suddenly fall down from time to time. Especially when they crossed that dead line and saw a large number of their former companions who were also the elite of the white armor in various strange ways, their hearts became more and more frightened - Houjin was already a small number of people, and they lived in a group of flags, and the various cattle records under the same banner knew each other, if not related to each other, at least they all knew each other. Those who can be arranged to rush forward in the first batch must be better than these people left behind in terms of bravery and combat skills, but at this moment, these once brave and invincible Houjin warriors have all died on the ground in the most miserable posture. And what is even more unacceptable is that there are a large number of cowardly Han soldiers who are entangled with these warriors, and the clothed minions also die in the same way - in front of the green-skinned and short-haired firearms on the opposite side, there is no difference between the warriors and the minions, and the only thing that can determine their life and death is fate!

Don't look at these white-armored soldiers who kill others without blinking, they are still afraid of death when it is their turn. In this desperate situation, they also want to escape. The reason why they have not fled until now is because on the other side of the battlefield, their lord is leading the cavalry to launch a decisive charge against the position of the short-haired army, if the cavalry can rush through this death distance and enter the opponent's position, they still have a chance to win.

And this was what everyone on the battlefield thought - the success or failure of this battle depended entirely on those cavalry, because they were the only ones who could storm into the position of the Shorthair Army while maintaining relatively intact combat effectiveness.

All eyes were on the cavalry.

…………

The cavalry shock was indeed sharp, although various factors were taken into account as much as possible when the so-called "combat effectiveness formula" was previously drawn up on paper. But in actual combat, especially in this kind of decisive battle in which both sides gambled their lives and crushed the other party at any cost, any prior calculation paled in comparison.

So Xiao Lang found that he was still careless, dealing with two hundred cavalry with thirty musket infantry, although it should be enough in the calculation, in fact it was not enough at all. Although he now led another platoon to join the front. But I still feel quite tight.

It's shallow to talk on paper!

-- This is Xiao Lang's truest feeling at the moment.

Although he was not at the forefront of the formation at this time, although he led people to replenish the defense line in time, and although he had personally knocked over two enemies, Xiao Lang still felt dry in the face of those Houjin cavalry who were rushing towards this side desperately regardless of life or death. The arms holding the guns trembled slightly.

With a "bang", Xiao Lang fired a third shot, but this time the enemy he was aiming at did not fall, but continued to rush forward, and the shot that he held firmly was actually shot empty!

"Hell!"

Xiao Lang was furious, he had always been very confident in his marksmanship, or he would not be the school gunner of the firearms team. Hitting such a big target will actually shoot missed? Intellectually, he knew that there was something wrong with his mentality. But a sudden evil fire made him want to smash his rifle to the ground.

But this is just a moment of trance, Xiao Lang is an adult after all, and he has enough reason and self-control. It's just a matter of losing your temper indiscriminately, and at this critical moment, you are angry with your weapon in your hand, which is simply planning to give your head to the Houjin Army in vain.

-- That's right, it was the realization that this time there was a possibility of defeat, and that his head might fall to the yellow-toothed Manchurian Tartars, and become a trophy for them to show off to the outside world. This mixture of shame, anger and fear made Xiao Lang lose his cool for a moment. Fortunately, it was only for a moment, and immediately after that, it was back to normal. In the eyes of others, he was just stunned for a moment after a blow, and then he hurriedly reloaded his ammunition, raised his gun and continued to aim at the target just now, intending to make amends.

But it didn't seem necessary anymore - just as Xiao Lang had just found the target from the crosshairs. But I heard a gunshot next to me, and then the guy fell down. Xiao Lang turned his head to see that a young protector had just fired a shot, but there was no excitement or joy on his face. Immediately after the death, he lowered his head and reloaded.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Xiao Lang couldn't help but ask, it was hard for him to imagine that such a young man could be so calm, but the soldier looked up, and said with some surprise:

"Isn't it repeated in training: don't think about anything at this time, the more you think about it, the worse it is, just execute tactical moves - that's what you often say."

"Uh......"

Xiao Lang's face was hot, he did say this in the training manual that Tang Jian and the others had formulated, and he did often encourage them when he reviewed the training of his soldiers on a daily basis - but he never thought that he would be said by others one day.

In fact, the guy didn't say it wrong, the most important thing at this time is to think wildly, the more you think, the more wrong you are. However, as an ordinary soldier, as long as he executes the tactical instructions of the officer, he doesn't need to think too much about it at all. It's just that Xiao Lang, as the commander of the army, is his duty to think more. It is said that he should not be on the front line, but he has to run to the front line and fight as an ordinary soldier, which is purely his own trouble.

Fortunately, Xiao Lang is also an understanding person, and he quickly figured out this kind of trick, since he is already on the front line, then treat himself as an ordinary soldier, what to command, let it go first.

"Calm, calm, unconscious ......"

After raising the gun and aiming at another target, Xiao Langkou silently recited the key points of shooting, and pulled the trigger when he felt that he was in the best condition. The gun sounded and people were shocked, and while taking a step back slightly to dissolve the thrust on his shoulder, Xiao Lang also kept paying attention to the unlucky ghost he chose.

Planted! And you can see that it is a splattering of blood from the head, a headshot, a perfect hit!

"Hey!"

Xiao Lang waved his fist excitedly, turned his head to look at the guy just now, and was about to say a few more words, but suddenly saw the guy snort, and the whole person fell down on his back. In his chest, there was a feathered arrow that was still trembling!

"What?"

Xiao Lang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted - the other party had already entered the distance where he could shoot arrows back! The Manchu Qing Dynasty regarded the so-called "riding and archery kung fu" as the foundation of the country, although many later academic works mentioned the phrase "I am based on riding and archery in the Qing Dynasty", most of them are regarded as jokes, but at least for now, in the post-Jin founding period, the bow and horse riding skills of these post-Jin cavalry are still quite clever, and even enough to be amazing.

- They were riding on horses moving at high speeds, and they had to lower their bodies as low as possible to avoid deadly bullets, and at the same time, they were in an extremely dangerous environment, and they could die at any time. With the help of the galloping power of the fierce horse, the power of the feather arrows shot seemed to be a little greater, and almost all of the Qiong naval soldiers who were unlucky to be shot were killed on the spot, and the health soldiers behind them didn't even have time to rescue.

According to the combat code of the Joan Navy, when the enemy can return fire, the standard shooting position must be a lying position or a kneeling position with the help of cover. But in fact, in the previous actual battles of the Qiong Navy, there were really not many opponents who could fight back against them. The soldiers were actually used to standing there and sifting their opponents as fast as they could. Now they suddenly encounter an opponent who can rush up against the rain of bullets and shoot arrows to fight back, although this situation has been emphasized many times in peacetime training, but when it comes to the end, the soldiers still have different choices.

- If you strictly follow the rules, you should immediately lie down or temporarily find cover to minimize the area of attack, but this will of course greatly affect the sight and shooting speed. Especially the Houjin cavalry they are facing at the moment, under the hurricane rush, maybe they will rush to the front before they can change their posture, so there are some short-tempered ones, and they simply scold at the same time, "If you have the ability, shoot me!" While still standing firmly in place, he simply ignored the arrows that swept by him, and shot at the Houjin cavalry!

This kind of fire lasted very short, because by the time the Houjin army's bows and arrows were able to shoot this side, they were actually very close to the position of the Joan navy. Most of the cavalry had time to shoot an arrow, then lost their bows, drew their sabers, and were ready to charge in and cut down men, if they hadn't been knocked down in the process.

After only a few breaths, the first group of Houjin cavalry finally rushed into the defense line of the Qiong navy, although the number was very small, only a dozen - most of them fell on the way to the charge, but these surviving cavalry still let out a cheer in unison!

They are cavalry! They rushed into the enemy's positions! The other party is only a few dozen infantrymen, not even a hundred, and they used to bully people with long-range shots, but now, they have rushed in front of each other! The cavalry assaulted the infantry formation, and it had already killed the opponent's formation, what would happen next? There is no doubt - rout, pursuit, slaughter! At least in these post-golden warrior concepts, war should be like this, it shouldn't, and there can't be any exceptions.

- But that's only because they've never fought against the Shorthairs. I
