047 Death without a blind eye
Bang bang bang......
The Polish hussars and the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army were shrouded in a large cloud of white smoke at the time of their formation, accompanied by layers of blood splashed out of the lead bullet into the human body, whether it was a bullet in the limbs or torso, whether it was a war horse or a human body was hit, the result was an instant loss of combat effectiveness.
The only difference is just the length of time you have to catch your breath.
And the fate of the Polish hussars who fell from their horses was obviously even more miserable, because they were likely to be trampled into a puddle of meat sauce under the hooves of their teammates behind!
The wall charge of the Polish hussars was too dense, which meant that the Polish hussars could not effectively evade and cross, in order to avoid destroying the charging formation, the Polish hussars could only control the war horse to step over the falling human body!
The horses of the Polish hussars are all excellent high-headed horses, and the territory is very stable and strong, as long as you are careful not to step on the carcass of the horses, you can still step on it without damage with the superb riding skills of the Polish hussars.
The Polish hussars' marksmanship, horsemanship, personal hand-to-hand combat skills, cavalry fighting skills, and other abilities have reached a level far beyond that of ordinary soldiers under the long-term cultivation of military aristocrats from a young age.
Of course, the personal combat effectiveness was only equivalent to the elite infantry standard of the European regular army at this time, and the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army naturally suffered greatly in the face of the melee of the Polish hussars, so they had to shoot as many lead bullets as possible to kill the enemy before engaging the enemy, or to crush the charging courage of the Polish hussars!
Obviously, for the Polish hussars who regarded honor as their life, it was impossible to defeat them with musket fire alone, but the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army also made the charging Polish hussars pay a heavy price, and what surprised Samuel Wašcz even more was that the courage of these Tatar bandit soldiers in front of him was no different from the Tatar bandits who intercepted them before, and in the face of the charge of the heavily armed Polish hussars, they fearlessly pulled out their two-handed machetes behind them and rushed back!
"Kill! Don't fall in love with the battle, follow me to break through and attack the enemy commander! ”
Samuel Wašcz knew that it was not difficult for the Polish hussars to eliminate the bandit musketeers in front of him, but the strength of the intercepted Tatar bandits was double that of the previous one, and the Polish hussars had already lost more than thirty percent after several rounds of attrition.
Samuel Vašcz did not think that the precious Polish hussars of the Polish-Lithuanian United Kingdom were a lucrative bargain for each other to be consumed by this group of unknown Tatar bandit musketeers, and Samuel Vašcz was already vomiting blood in his heart......
These Polish hussars were all the capital for him to gain a foothold in Zhytomyr, and if he was defeated in the first battle, even if he won it, he would not have the face to return to Zhytomyr.
Therefore, Samuel Wašcz directly held his military flag high, led the Polish hussars around him to forcibly break through the interception of the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, and rushed towards the 16-lift special recliner.
The phalanx of the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army is not thick because of the need to exert firepower, and it is not difficult to break through simply, however, the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army have been given a death order to stop the enemy at all costs!
When the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army realized that the Polish hussars were breaking through, many Taiping soldiers and even the whole person rushed up to drag the horse's legs to prevent the Polish hussars from rushing over.
"Damn! These crazy people! Samuel Waszcki cursed loudly, brandishing his saber and slashing at the intercepting Taiping soldiers, the madness of this group of senior musketeers of the Taiping Army, so that Samuel Waszcki only brought out less than half of the Polish hussars, and the rest were either killed by the Taiping army's senior musketeers in the life-for-life fight, or were dragged into the siege and could not get out.
Many Polish hussars were even hacked to death on their horses, and fought frantically on foot with veteran musketeers of the Taiping Army wielding machetes.
The battle between the front and rear lines of defense entered a white-hot phase, Samuel Waszc, with less than 200 Polish hussars, finally broke through to the 16-lift special chaise longue, and after surviving two volleys of Taiping guards guarding the surrounding area, Samuel Waszcz led the Polish hussars with heavy losses to rush in.
Soon, Samuel Waszcki found that although the Taiping soldiers guarding here were equally fanatical, and the armor on their bodies was also ironclad, their combat effectiveness was weak and indistinguishable, and they were no different from ordinary Polish militiamen.
What Samuel Wašcz didn't know was that these Taiping guards were nothing more than new recruits of the Taiping Army who had not been upgraded, and they couldn't even do anything to the battle-hardened Polish hussars......
However, although the battle went smoothly, after Samuel Vasch personally hacked to death the Tatars who were sitting on the palanquin and laughing alone, the Taiping soldiers on the periphery not only did not have the slightest confusion, but instead gathered around here in an orderly manner!
Hong Tiancheng was waiting for this moment, all the Taiping Army's senior musketeer reserves and their own guards were sent up, and when Samuel Wasch looked around, he found that he and the Polish hussars around him had fallen into the effective range of the Taiping Army's firing line surrounded on all sides!
"Fire !!"
With the roars of the two horses of the Taiping army in all directions, lead bullets from all directions suddenly shot at Samuel Wašc's and his Polish hussars who were guarding the tattered sedan chair in the middle, and the Polish hussars did not even have time to recharge, and fell under the layers of platoon fire.
Samuel Waszc's gorgeous cuirass had been punched into several dents, and although the thick cuirass had not been pierced by lead bullets, Samuel Waszc's fragile internal organs had been shattered into pieces under the continuous impact, and as more and more blood clots spat out of his mouth, the rugged Polish man stared at the phalanx of the Taiping army and fell to his knees.
After dealing with the force of the Polish hussars, the senior musketeers of the Taiping Army quickly divided into several small columns and drove to other battle groups fighting with the Polish, and at this moment, Hong Tiancheng finally showed a victorious smile.
