Chapter 1555: Ace Duel (1)
Adrian was directly frightened by the scene in front of him, there were raging fires everywhere, the flames were soaring, the smoke was filled, the cavalry was no better than the infantry, the infantry were at least people, and the most they could do when they saw the fire was panicked, but they could barely restrain it, but how could the cavalry's war horses withstand such a fright, no matter what fierce beasts in the world were not afraid of fire, not to mention war horses, even lions and tigers were afraid to avoid it.
A war horse on the battlefield shrouded in battle, let out an amazing long neigh, scurrying around, this is not bad, and some of the war horses were directly hit by rockets, killed on the spot, the cavalry has been completely messed up, no one has experienced such a battle scene; Of course, the infantry is not much better, before dawn, it is the coldest time, the infantry are still hiding in the tent one by one, snoring and sleeping, hiding from the cold wind, suddenly one rocket after another hit up, smashed on the tent, directly ignited, thick felt and cloth fluttering and burning, many infantry are still asleep, just do the unjust ghost.
Before Chernkov's order could be conveyed to the Rakshasa Army's out-of-city position, the first town of the Tianwei Army had already taken the lead and launched an attack on the Rakshasa Army.
One by one, the infantry of the first town listened to the firing rifles and began a frantic attack, shooting forward while advancing, not leaving the Rakshasa army with the slightest chance to react, and the Rakshasa army complained bitterly.
Adrian finally reacted from the shock and shouted: "Order, the Cossack cavalry urgently assembled, and launched a charge towards the Ming army, attack, attack!" ”
There are no cavalry on the other side!
That's the biggest vulnerability!
Adrian is not a mediocre person, he judged the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us at a glance, although the Tianwei army caught himself off guard, and the rockets were constantly fired, but they did not have cavalry, they had tens of thousands of cavalry in their hands, and a surprise attack could blow up the Ming army!
Groups of Cossack cavalry began to assemble in the flames of war, ready to launch a surprise attack, but it would take time, after all, the chaotic Cossack cavalry wanted to assemble them all, where was it so easy?
Adrian can't wait, if he waits for 10,000 Cossack cavalry to assemble and launch a surprise attack, the daylily will be cold, against the other side has no cavalry, even if he is only two or three thousand fine cavalry, he can definitely break through the defense of the Ming infantry, as long as it is pasted, no matter how powerful the Ming infantry is, it will have to be leveled by the fierce Cossack cavalry!
"Cossacks, charge!"
With a wave of the saber in Adrian's hand, and with a shout, the Cossack cavalry of more than 2,000 people rushed towards the Ming army!
Cavalry assault?
A slight sneer hung on the corner of Du Rui's mouth, Lao Tzu has been fighting for so many years, and the last thing he is afraid of is the cavalry assault. What's more, now their own weapons and equipment are armed to the teeth?
"The strikers stopped moving forward and lined up in five rows, ready to take turns shooting! Rocket battalion, attack in full force! Delay the advance of the Cossack cavalry! Let these Rakshasa devils see the crazy firepower of the mighty army of the Great Tomorrow! Without artillery, Lao Tzu would still be able to beat them all over the ground! ”
The advancing Tianwei soldiers stopped and began to approach each other, forming rows of horizontal formations and starting to shoot in turns.
The firing pin rifle, from loading to shooting, is more than twice as fast as the ordinary front-loading gun, and the speed of the elite shooting of the Tianwei Army is unparalleled in the world, it only takes ten seconds to complete a shot, and the five rows of teams shoot continuously in turns, which is equivalent to an interval of less than two seconds, and the Cossack cavalry will usher in a wave of dense bullets.
Now the Cossacks are five or six hundred paces away from the main force of the Tianwei Army, facing a powerful blocking force of a rocket battalion, and in less than a minute, the Cossack cavalry wants to be able to rush in front of the Tianwei Army, that is, the bullets that greet them will be twenty or thirty waves, and in the face of such powerful rifle firepower, they also have numb claws, not to mention that the firing needle rifle itself has such a powerful range and shooting accuracy.
The horses neighed in terrible fright, and they were hit by bullets, throwing the Cossack cavalry out heavily, and of course, some Cossack cavalrymen were directly hit by bullets, and in the chaotic charge, they were almost certain to die!
The Cossack cavalry only charged less than two hundred paces away, and they couldn't hold on, turned around and ran, and were beaten back by the powerful firepower of the Tianwei army, and the casualties were too great, just like a stubble of leeks being cut off, and the corpses were all over the field!
Adrian was shocked when he saw it from a distance, what a powerful firepower, even if it was three or four hundred meters away, this bullet actually had a strong lethality, compared to the attack on Weihuo City, the musket used in Manmeng Xinzhen was much more powerful, such a powerful effective range, such dense firepower, it was like playing against two thousand Cossack elite cavalry, in addition to increasing casualties, the Cossack cavalry did not have the slightest temper at all!
"Assault again, quick! Full assault! ”
Adrian still did not give up, and gave the order to assault again with a fluke mentality, and groups of Cossack cavalry gathered together and began a new round of charge.
The Cossack cavalry, wielding a bright saber in their hands, struck again, and let out a wolf-like howl from their mouths, rushing forward like a furious hurricane!
On the opposite side, a group of Tianwei troops, their faces were cold, and they didn't take the Cossack cavalry in front of them to heart at all, not to mention the Cossack cavalry, even if it was a heavenly soldier and a general, the Tianwei army dared to break off their fangs, and the Tianwei army has never lacked courage and blood!
It's another peak battle between cavalry and infantry, but this time the Cossack cavalry really met the nemesis, not to mention that they are wielding sabers, even if they are holding a horse pistol, now they can't help the Tianwei army infantry, their muskets have a range too close, they are all smoothbore guns, and the effective range can reach one hundred and fifty steps, which is already the most advanced musket, most of them are about 100 steps, but the powerful firepower of the Tianwei army makes the Cossack cavalry unable to assault within two hundred steps!
A wave of offensive was beaten back by the Tianwei army, more than 2,000 cavalry, directly threw down nearly a thousand corpses, the queen of the cang, the Cossack cavalry was completely haired, Adrian urged the cavalry to advance again, did not dare to attack again!
"Artillery, artillery!"
At this time, Adrian suddenly thought of his artillery, his own artillery position is still there, artillery assault, give them a hard lesson!
