Due to the queue, there will only be about five hundred fighters who will fire at the same time. Five hundred bullets whizzed away, and the power was not trivial. The Horqin Mongol cavalry rushed in front, in fact, three or four hundred people, and they were hit by the rain of bullets, and at least half of them were swept down. These Horqin Mongol cavalry archers who rushed to the forefront were basically the most ferocious and murderous group, and as a result, they were sent to hell first. Each man had three short guns, and when one was finished, he immediately took the second, and in a very short time, in ten seconds, all three guns were empty.

There is actually a reason why the cavalry division is arranged in such a formation, and only 500 people shoot first. Because of the ranks of the enemy's cavalry, even if 3,000 people fired at the same time, only the three or four hundred enemies at the front would bear the rain of bullets. Even if you knock them all to the ground, the results will not be extended. The power of this short musket is still not as powerful as that of a rifle, and the penetration power is not enough to penetrate the human body. If you want two lives with one shot, don't even think about it. As a result, most of the bullets will probably be wasted. Just these 500 people were able to inflict enough damage on the enemy army with three shots in a row.

This kind of combat formation was also summarized and improved by Jiang Yuanxun and the cavalry division in many battles with the Qing army and the Wu army, and it was originally directly hedged against the enemy, and when it got closer, three short guns were fired into the air in a row, although it would also cause great damage to the enemy, but after the three guns were finished, the soldiers had to fight with the enemy hand-to-hand. The final result was also a victory. But there will always be hundreds of cavalry killed. Although the warriors were able to reload when they ran on horseback. But then the horse can't be fast. And this is indeed very dangerous on the battlefield, and it will create opportunities for the enemy army to take advantage of.

At the same time, shooting also has the negative consequence of being severe, that is, it is not good for the continued fighting. If the fighters all fired, it would take at least a dozen seconds for a gun to reload. In these ten seconds, the enemy cavalry could rush through this distance of more than 100 meters, let alone load three guns. Therefore, the cavalry division adopted a three-stage fire that was somewhat different from that of the infantry. While making full use of the power of the short fire, it can also maintain continuous firepower.

Korqin Mongol cavalry hit by bullets. He crashed off his horse with a thunderous sound. Some of the war horses fell so hard that the horse's neck was directly broken, and the whole war horse was broken at an incredible angle on the ground. There are also a large number of horse legs, which were crushed by force when they fell. Countless war horses neighed in pain together, mixed with the screams of the personnel, and the battlefield could be described as a miserable one.

In the high gallop, he fell off the horse's back. The consequences can be imagined, and if you don't die, you are also crippled. And some of the bullets hit the horses. The guide zhì war horse fell to the ground, and the people on horseback were thrown out fiercely, and the consequences were also strict. People who react quickly and have good skills may be fine. But after all, this is a very small number of people, and the average cavalry will definitely be injured after being thrown out. In other words, as soon as you fall off the horse, you basically lose your ability to fight.

The Horqin Mongol cavalry behind them also hurriedly manipulated their horses, passing over their companions, or bypassing their companions. This caused a little confusion in the originally neat ranks, and also slowed down the originally neat advance speed of the Korqin Mongol cavalry. Others tripped over their horses because of the obstruction of their companions, and they themselves were overturned to the ground, and the scene was chaotic again.

The guns of the horsetail cavalry rang out again. The horsetail cavalry, which had finished firing in front, stood still and reloaded the short fire with quick movements. It was the horsetail cavalry behind that stepped forward through the gap, and then opened fire quickly. As the guns rang out, more Korqin Mongol cavalry fell. In the second round of shooting, the lethal effect is just as powerful. At this time, the queue of the Mongolian cavalry was still relatively dense. More than 500 bullets whizzed away, and it was still three or four hundred Mongol cavalrymen who were beared. As a result, at least half of the Mongol cavalry fell under the bullets. Shooting three guns into the air again, the Mongol cavalry that fell in front blocked the path of the companions behind, and the guide queue became even more chaotic.

The 10 and 100 commanders of the Mongols were constantly shouting, trying to adjust the order of the ranks and ensure the speed of the impact. However, the number of fallen Mongol cavalry was indeed very large, at least more than 600 men. This led them to a blockage in their way forward. For this reason, the Mongolian cavalry behind had to lower their speed and cautiously pass over the chaotic ground.

The horsetail cavalry who had finished shooting did not move, and continued to reload the short fire guns. The horsetail cavalry in the rear continued to press forward and then opened fire. When the man in front finished shooting, the fighters behind him moved forward again and continued to shoot. In this way, the shooting of the Mawei Army will basically not have a long pause. This step-by-step approach to shooting, or rolling shooting, can now be said to be unique to the horsetail cavalry and unique in the whole world. The warriors refer to this tactic as "snowballing", which means constantly rolling forward, constantly rolling and shooting, trying not to let the enemy get close to them. In the general infantry three-stage shooting, after the front is shot, it quickly retreats, allowing the companions behind to come forward to shoot, but the war horses cannot quickly retreat, so only the companions behind quickly plug in.

Six rows of cavalry took turns in thousands, and after six rounds of firing, the Horqin Mongol cavalry fell by at least a thousand. The corpses at the front were basically trampled by the companions behind. It is impossible for a galloping horse to pay special attention to what is under his feet. All the war horses. It's all wrapped with a horseshoe. I won't be afraid of anything under my feet that will hurt me. Therefore. Often as soon as the foot is down, the corpse is trampled to pieces.

The rest of the Horqin Mongol cavalry also rushed to a distance of about 80 meters from the Mawei army's array, and began to set up bows and shoot arrows. With the inertia of galloping at high speed, these Mongol cavalry fired fierce arrows at the Mawei army. Unfortunately, after being fired repeatedly by the Mawei Army, there was some confusion in their formation. There are only two or three hundred people who can effectively release arrows.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The arrows came, and more than half of them hit the warrior's body. It's just that the warriors are all wearing a full set of plate armor, and the arrows shot at the armor are immediately bounced off, making a "dingding" sound. And there are also a small number of arrows that shoot into the human body at a tricky angle, making a "poof" sound.

The horsetail cavalry who were hit by the arrow, and more than a dozen people also fell from their horses. In all fairness, the nomads' arrows are still very sharp, and the accuracy is quite good. Two or three hundred arrows that the Mongols had just shot. At least half hit the target. Fortunately, the horsetail cavalry was protected by plate armor, and only a small number were shot off horseback.

The number of Korqin Mongol cavalry. Now it is much smaller than the number of Mawei Army, and the losses in front have also dealt a certain blow to their morale. This rain of arrows fell, and only a dozen horsetail cavalry were shot down, which was obviously a failing record. At the same time, the armor of the Mawei Army also surprised these Horqin Mongol cavalrymen, and the arrows could not be pierced, so didn't that mean that when they were fighting hand-to-hand combat, it would be difficult for their own scimitars to cut through their armor?

When the Horqin Mongol cavalry released their arrows, the 500 horsetail cavalry that had completed the initial first round of shooting had also been loaded and re-entered the battle. They raised their short guns and continued to fire at the Mongol cavalry in front. As a result, in the midst of deafening gunfire, more than a hundred more Mongolian cavalrymen fell from their horses.

More Mongolian cavalry rushed up and fired at the horsetail cavalry, and arrows flew over one by one. The arrows of the Mongols are still very powerful, and as long as they are shot in the face, they basically die immediately. However, the horsetail cavalry faced the arrows of the Mongol cavalry and had no intention of retreating. On the contrary, they were more ferocious than the Mongols.

"Whoosh" Mongols arrows are like flying locusts, fierce and fierce.

"Bang bang bang" Ponytail bullets rained down and continued.

"Ding Ding Ding"

"Puff, puff, puff" This is the sound made by the arrows on the horsetail side's side hitting the body of the soldiers.

"Bang bang bang" This is the sound of the Mongol cavalry constantly falling to the ground.

All the sounds mingled with each other, filling everyone's ears and completely taking over their eardrums. But if you think that everyone present will be stunned by these sounds, you are mistaken. In fact, once the soldiers were in a state of intense fighting, it was impossible to hear any sound at all. Their brains, their hearings, are blank. Even the images and sounds that happened in close proximity did not feel anything.

At this time, it is the instinct that is brutally trained. People who have not been trained, at this time, will only be stunned and overwhelmed. But people who have been brutally trained react completely differently. Even without the command of their brains, they can reflexively reload their short guns with ammunition and then raise their guns to shoot until they are hit by arrows. In the face of the dense bullets of the horsetail cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry kept falling, and the originally dense team had become very sparse. On the contrary, on the side of the horsetail cavalry, it seems that the ranks are more dense. Although some lives were also paid, the casualties of the horsetail cavalry were completely acceptable compared to the Mongol cavalry.

"What's going on?"

"How so?"

"Who can sue me, why is this happening?"

At the back of the Mongol cavalry, Battle was going crazy. He would have thought. You can give the horsetail cavalry a dismount. Just rush within range of the arrowhead. You can give the horsetail cavalry a burst of overwhelming arrows, so that the horsetail cavalry can see how powerful the Mongols are riding and shooting. Battle estimated that a ferocious rain of arrows would have to knock down at least a few hundred horsetail cavalry. However, the current situation is reversed.

Before the Mongol cavalry could reach the range of bows and arrows, the horsetail cavalry gave them an overwhelming rain of bullets. Inflicted damage on the Mongol cavalry. The Mongol cavalry of a thousand-man squad at the front disappeared more than half of it in the blink of an eye. With such a heavy loss, Battle is simply crying without tears, and, most importantly, the loss is still increasing. The Mongol cavalry, mostly archers, excelled at using bows and arrows to shoot enemies at interrupted distances.

It's already very close to this, a distance of about sixty meters, and it is not suitable to shoot in turns like this.

"Herald. Charge! Jiang Yuanxun shouted loudly.

"Doodoo Doo"

On the side of the Ponytails, the conch horn made a low sound again. This time it was a shorter sound, representing the preparation of all horsetail cavalry for a charge.

"Doodoo Doo"

The sound of the second time sounded, and all the cavalry warriors lifted the reins one after another, and the war horses under their crotches with their legs clamped around them, rushed out like arrows off the string.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

At a distance of several tens of meters, the wild dog horsetail cavalry accelerated. At this time, the soldiers rushed forward against the enemy's arrows. Fortunately, the enemy does not have many arrows, and fortunately, he has superior protection plate armor. The two sides hedged, and the distance of dozens of meters was not instantaneous, but when they approached the distance of twenty or thirty meters, the short firearms in the hands of the fighters began to continue to exert their power.

At such a close range, the hit rate is much higher than it used to be 100 meters away. As soon as the soldiers raised their guns and fired at a Mongolian cavalryman, basically the Mongolian cavalry ran away, or they shot the Mongolian cavalry further back, or at worst, they also shot the war horse of the enemy horse.

The two armies soon rushed together, but the banging gunfire did not stop, the three thousand horsetail soldiers continued to shoot the short fire in their hands, and when the two armies staggered, there was almost no change on the side of the horsetail army, but the Mongolian cavalry was heavily wounded, and the Horqin cavalry, which was originally in the early 3,000s, now looked at at most 500 horses.

Battle was also lucky not to be hit by the short fire, but instead used his javelin and his own scimitar to kill the two horsetails with his own bravery. But at this moment, seeing that there was only so little cavalry left on his side, he was also dumbfounded. I can't believe that such a result is too tragic, the casualties are too great, how can he explain to his people.

At this moment, suddenly a Mongolian cavalry ran directly to the outside of the battlefield and never returned. Apparently, this Korqin Mongol cavalry collapsed, and the phenomenon of fleeing began to appear in the ranks of the cavalry. The movement of this Horqin Mongol cavalry, like a fuse, detonated the escape of the other Mongol cavalry, and they also galloped away around the battlefield, never to return. In fact, there were only about 500 Mongol cavalry capable of retreating. The three fully manned Horqin Mongol thousand-man troops, who fought until less than 20% of the remaining troops, completely collapsed, were already the elite of the elite. If the other Mongol cavalry were replaced, when the losses exceeded 50% or 60%, they would all be dispersed.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that there were cavalry escaping, Battle was not too surprised, but his face was full of helplessness, and finally he had to say bitterly. The troops had already dispersed, and he could not stop it, so he could only flee with it. Battle was not ready to flee to Zhou Peigong, the cavalry of the Mawei Army was so strong, even if there were more than 3,000 cavalry with the banner of the Han army, there must be many opponents of this cavalry of the Mawei Army. When all the cavalry under Zhou Peigong's command is finished, although there are 20,000 troops left who can fight, they no longer pose a threat to the Mawei army. Therefore, at this time, he was ready to turn around and go north directly and go back to the Mongolian steppe

"Don't chase it, our war horses can't catch up!" Jiang Yuanxun waved his hand to stop the pursuit of the horsetail cavalry. Indeed, their warriors were all dressed in heavy plate armor and could not be fast, and although they were not yet heavy cavalry, their horses were not able to run fast and continuously. And at this time, time is pressing, "poor people don't chase".

"Clean up the battlefield and count the losses." Jiang Yuanxun said calmly. After the fierce battle, the horsetail cavalry dismounted one after another and cleaned the battlefield on foot. This is to clean up the battlefield at the same time, so that the war horse can get a little rest and recover some body. After a while, they had to continue to march east to find another part of the Qing cavalry to fight, galloping back and forth for hundreds of miles, which was indeed a severe test for horsepower.

There was actually nothing to clean up on the battlefield, and the Mongols' weapons were not needed by the Mawei Army. These Mongol cavalry also had little money, and the only thing that was more valuable was probably their bows and arrows and scimitars. It's a pity that these two things, in the eyes of the Mawei Army, are basically souvenirs and the like. If you're interested, you can take a few back and give them away. (To be continued......)
