Chapter 628: Squad Battle (Part II)
Two gunshots rang out, one fell off his horse, and the other screamed.
The Berans were apparently taken aback by the sudden attack, and some even tried to flee.
But when they saw that the two musketeers had finished firing, they turned and began to flee, and guessed that the muskets were probably about the same as the crossbows, and could not fire quickly and continuously, and when they felt that their opportunity had come, they rode forward.
To be honest, if they think about it calmly, they can think of the fact that there were four gunshots before, but now there are only two musketeers, and there is something wrong with this.
But there are very few people who can think in such a short time, and even most of the elite soldiers, in fact, rely on instinct and daily training to reflex in this situation, and they naturally don't have this ability.
Just as they had pursued them for less than five paces, six more infantry suddenly sprang out from both sides, four of whom were armed with swords and shields, and three of them were behind with long halberds, and they all shouted and outflanked them.
At this moment, their horses did not run at all, and they did not even have the strength to knock the infantry away, let alone the horses were not willing to crash into the bright halberds on the opposite side.
Caught off guard, one of them was stabbed under his horse, and the remaining two knew that as cavalrymen, they would definitely suffer a loss if they stood still and fought against the infantry, so they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and fled.
However, halfway through the rotation of the horses, their speed dropped to their minimum when two buckshot bullets flew through their chests.
The two escaped musketeers were just a decoy, and four more were lurking - and even now, the last two musketeers were left unloaded with lead bullets in case of any contingencies.
The two decoy musketeers no longer pretended to run away, but stood there and reloaded their muskets.
There are sixteen Meiquan soldiers in this team, and they are originally the same team, and they cooperate tacitly.
Mental calculation, coupled with such careful tactics, ensured that their victory was almost foolproof.
With so many gunshots, although the nearby Beran people noticed this, they were even more afraid, and for a while the small troops did not dare to come over again.
And by the time the Berans gathered dozens of people and rushed over, these Meiquan soldiers didn't know where to go.
Only bare-bottomed corpses and a horse corpse were left in their place, mocking their sluggishness.
Luo Ming let them practice hard for many years of marching and running, although they still can't outrun the horses, but the speed is much faster than the ordinary infantry, plus the retreat and time have been calculated in advance, the Beran people can't catch them at all.
Luo Ming said that he was farming in the past three years, but in fact, he also kept training troops in his spare time, not only to improve his combat effectiveness, but also to achieve good results in the combat awareness and tactics of the veterans.
As for those officers who have served for two or three years, there are quite a few of them who are qualified for higher positions, but now the size of the army is not enough, and there is no room for them to be further promoted.
The Béran scout cavalry then encountered three more such ambushes, and when they returned to the line and reported all the incidents, the Belan army brass quickly devised a new strategy.
Each of the attackers was a dozen people, and the ambush of three or five Belan light cavalry was simply handy. Therefore, a method was proposed to make the scouts armor and increase the number of people in each team.
This seemed simple, but Vytautas immediately objected:
"In that case, our reconnaissance efficiency will have to be greatly reduced, and if we send hundreds more cavalry, there will be not enough cavalry left in our position, and it will be dangerous if the enemy kills us. ”
He thought for a moment and then said, "But it's still okay to send a few cavalry detachments with a large number of people, just thirty people per detachment." Then have each team responsible for a separate area, and the scouts and detachments should not be too far away, as the cavalry detachments can quickly rush over if the scouts encounter the enemy. In this way, their rampant will be curbed. ”
Of course, this move was also seen by the soldiers on duty on the Guangxun Tower, and they quickly reported it to the Iron Fire City.
The guerrillas were also quickly informed, and instead of attacking rashly, they hid first.
Before they set off, they had done emergency training, and although they were not enough to read all the messages of the Accelink Tower, they were able to recognize some special signals.
For example, each group of guerrillas corresponds to a flower flag with their code name written on it, after which the blue flag is hung to indicate safety, the yellow flag is to indicate that the enemy is approaching their side, the red flag represents the approach of a large force, and the white flag means that they must immediately collect their troops and hide, and then send people to the designated place to wait for the messenger to deliver a specific notice.
Compared to the informatization in a certain time and space, this is simply rudimentary, but it is completely sufficient to deal with the current situation.
At the same time, the noble messengers were gradually coming out of the secret passages in batches, and then dispersed in all directions according to the established route.
Of course, there are also people who don't follow the set route -
They were either overly cautious, suspicious, or didn't believe Luo Ming in the first place, and kept talking to him.
However, they would soon find themselves running into the Berans - of course, each of their teams was not too small in number and well-equipped, and they could still escape without the misfortune of running into Belan's large army.
However, the loss of troops will be inevitable, which can only be said to be their own death.
The routes Luo Ming arranged for them were basically carefully arranged, and there was now an unprecedentedly detailed sand table in his room, with a large amount of data marked on it, and it was by no means indiscriminately pointed.
If nothing else, it's unlikely that he'll encounter a large number of enemies by following the route he's arranged—unless Login betrays it.
So this is also a small test: the nobles who really trust Luo Ming will naturally encounter fewer risks, and those who don't trust him will be unlucky.
However, this is trivial compared to Luo Ming taking the initiative to sell some guys.
If he sells it, even if he can get away with it...... I guess they will also be "martyred" or "paralyzed" or something like that.
And while the nobles were dispatched one by one, Luo Ming got a good opportunity.
He instigated several captives to confess that there was a nobleman's "cronies" in the Schönbrunn territory who had become spies and had communicated with the Berans.
Then Luo Ming showed a furious appearance, and immediately issued an order for a thorough investigation.
