Chapter 1430: Tough Bones
Erhe is confident in the tactics he has formulated, this set of tactics has been tried and tested repeatedly in the battle with the Ming army, although the last time he fought with the Haihan army in Dalian Bay, he was beaten by dense firepower, but Erhe believes that this time there will not be such an embarrassment, because it has been raining today.
Erhe knew that rain and dampness were the natural enemies of such powerful weapons as muskets, and according to the current weather, the rain would last for at least two to three days, which was great news for the Houjin army, which was mainly equipped with cold weapons. In the past records of fighting with the Ming army, as long as the battle was fought on a rainy day, the muskets in the hands of the Ming army basically turned into burning sticks that could not be fired. Therefore, based on past experience, Erhe believes that the Haihan army will inevitably be affected by this, as long as those terrible muskets and artillery become mute, then what is there to worry about?
Erhe believed that if he could shorten the distance of engagement to face-to-face combat, then his 3,000 sons would definitely be able to completely annihilate these Haihan troops near the southern heights. But for the sake of prudence, he still arranged for the cavalry to form three waves of attack formations and launch an offensive against the Haihan position in accordance with the traditional charging method.
Morgan ordered the enemy to be kept closer before fighting, also considering that the visibility was slightly worse in rainy days, and that getting closer would allow the soldiers to aim better. As for the opponent's perception of the weather restrictions, it did not have such a big impact on Haihan, although the army units stationed on the high ground were not equipped with the seven-shot rifles of the special operations battalion, but the flintlock pistols they used were also loaded with waterproof packaging, and unless it was pouring rain, the impact of the rain was actually very limited.
The first wave of cavalry rushed all the way to a distance of 100 meters, and the first round of gunfire rang out on the Haihan position. At least a dozen cavalrymen fell from their running horses on the spot, while the rest of the cavalry did not fall into a fight, and immediately turned to the left and right in order to attract as much fire as possible from the Haihan position. This first wave of the offensive was originally intended to attract firepower, as long as Haihan's side opened fire, they would be considered to have achieved their goal, and as for the casualties, they could only settle their own destiny.
And the two groups of cavalry that followed the first wave of cavalry were the main force that really served as the charge and hit the opponent. This rhythm must be mastered very tightly, and the opponent must not be allowed time to complete the ammunition reloading, and this can only rely on the combat experience and tacit understanding of the leading officers and soldiers.
However, this set of tactics that had been used against the Ming army's firearms battalion seemed to have lost its effect in front of the Haihan army, and after the second wave of cavalry rushed into range, they were still greeted by a dense rain of bullets fired up and down the slope. This is not that the Haihan army has completed the second reloading, but that when shooting the first wave of Houjin cavalry, it left some strength and used it specifically to deal with the last two waves of cavalry. Although the tactics used by the Later Jin Army to deal with the Ming army were very targeted, it was not a secret, and the Haihan side naturally had a strategy to deal with it for a long time.
The number of horsemen who were shot and fell in this wave was obviously much higher than in the first wave, and only about half of them were left when they rushed closer, but the trenches, horseback horses, and barbed wire outside the village at the foot of the mountain formed a roadblock that prevented these cavalry from rushing directly into the village to fight. As soon as their speed slowed down slightly, the Haihan snipers in the high places began to kill the cavalry that rushed to the front.
Even the bravest and best-equipped Bayala warriors had no armor and shields to stop the high-velocity bullets fired from their sniper rifles, and they had to fall one after the other with the sound of gunfire. This tragic situation reminded the cavalry involved in the attack of the scene they attacked the abandoned fishing village on the coast of Dalian Bay a few months ago, when a large wave of cavalry was blocked by barricades in the passage in and out of the village, and the cavalry had to dismount and fight on foot, and then reluctantly died at the guns of the Haihan soldiers in batches.
At that time, the Houjin army did not find a truly effective solution, and could only rely on the superiority of troops, but in the end it was still unable to completely break through the defense line of Haihan. The scene in front of me seems to replicate the situation of that day, the difference is that the hillside behind this village is full of Haihan army's firepower points, and the striking power of this three-dimensional firepower net is not comparable to that of the abandoned fishing village at that time. The Houjin cavalry outside the village had no way to hide, and they couldn't find the enemy's firepower at all, so they could only be beaten hard.
