Chapter 330: Counter-Charge

Gradually, more and more people turned their heads and ran away, fear is contagious, although the grassland people are more fierce, but not all are not afraid of death, especially the old, young, female these groups, it is the group with the worst psychological quality. Looking at the tragic situation of the people in front of them, and seeing someone turn around and run away, many people behind them did the same.

Fortunately, their horse speed has not yet been raised, and because of poor discipline and lack of training in team combat, the formation is sparse and sparse, and the distance between them is very large, otherwise most of the people in front of them will stop or turn around, and most of them will be hit by the horses running behind.

Although there were some people who were hit by horses rushing up from behind, there were not many of them, and most of them managed to control their horses to turn around and run back.

The fire ~ spearmen of the 1st Division were still calmly firing, and since the enemy stopped charging and turned around and fled, they had already begun to shoot as they advanced.

This is a bit of a high requirement for the fire ~ spearmen, but the usual strict training is reflected at this time, the fire ~ spearmen are moving forward at the speed of normal people walking, and the speed of putting guns in their hands is hardly affected, and the Xianbei cavalry who escaped slowly continue to fall off their horses in large ~ large pieces ~ piece by piece.

Soon, tens of thousands of charging old, young, and female Xianbei cavalry all turned, and rushed towards the Xianbei people's large array at a faster speed than the charge to the Han army just now. Budugen and the leaders were taken aback, if these people rushed over, their big array would inevitably be rushed into chaos, and then it would be troublesome.

Although Budugen is a little indecisive, but he is not ignorant of military common sense, as the leader of a large tribe, he has 100,000 cavalry under his command, of course, he knows that this situation is very dangerous, once the formation is scattered, the enemy takes the opportunity to cover up, his own side will be a big rout.

"Archers, archers, put, let go of the arrows, shoot them." Budugen yelled in a panic.

"It's... My lord, no, these are our people, and you can't release arrows. A tribal leader said anxiously to Budugen. In fact, most of the tribal leaders were in favor of the order to release arrows, and in this case, it was the right thing to do to stop these defeated cavalry from charging into their own formation, and then guide them to divert to both sides.

However, the leader of the tribe who spoke was also an indecisive and benevolent man, and the key thing was that among the cavalry that came one after another, his people were the first to bear the brunt, and if the arrows were fired from this side, it would be his people who would be the first to suffer heavy losses. That's why he opened his mouth to stop Budugen from ordering the arrows to be released.

Budugen was said by this leader, and hesitated in his heart, after all, this arrow rain went down, and the people who were killed were all his own people, and there were definitely a lot of them, this kind of slaughter of his own people, he was also a little unbearable, and he would definitely be questioned by the clansmen afterwards, and would even be used by people with intentions as a handle to attack himself.

The speed of the cavalry was so fast that in this hesitation, the cavalry had already rushed to the front of their own formation, and had lost the opportunity to fire their arrows to stop them.

"Alas!" Budugen let out a long sigh and watched as tens of thousands of routs crashed into the formation, knocking the formation to pieces.

At this time, the first division had already seen that the situation of the Xianbei people was different, and now even officers at all levels above were equipped with telescopes, and there were hot air balloons high in the sky monitoring the entire battlefield with high-powered telescopes, and every move of the Xianbei people was in full view.

The General Staff summarized the information from all sides and judged that the Xianbei people were really messing up this time, rather than deceiving the enemy by deceit, so they reported the conclusion to Zhang Bao, who immediately decided to pursue the enemy at full speed.

As a result, the phalanx of the first division changed from a normal walking pace to a full-speed run, but it was no longer five rows of fire ~ spearmen who ran in front, they made their debut, first two rows of pikes and rattan armor soldiers ran in front, then other sword-wielding rattan armor soldiers, and then fire ~ spearmen with bayonets on fire ~ guns.

Each fire~spearman is equipped with a three~edge~ bayonet, which can now come in handy. The bayonet was quickly pressed on the fire ~ gun, and the fire ~ spearman instantly became a pikeman, of course, the fire ~ gun as a spear is definitely not so handy, but it is still okay to use it improvised.

There are still some miscellaneous troops behind the fire ~ gun ~ bayonet soldiers, and even some non-combatants, who also act with the phalanx, otherwise if they are allowed to get out of the protection of the phalanx, it will be very unsafe in the vast grassland. In the end, there are still various vehicles behind the palace.

These vehicles follow the team to advance just in case, if the misfortune really falls into the Xianbei people's plan to lure the enemy deeper, then with these vehicles present, they can quickly form a vehicle formation for defense. The car formation is like a turtle shell, and there is no way to say anything about the cold weapon troops, even the most powerful cavalry troops in the cold weapon troops.

Two feet can't run four feet, that's in general, and in some special times it's a different story. Now is a special moment, the Xianbei cavalry was attacked head-on by tens of thousands of old, young and female routers, and they were in chaos.

100,000 horses and horses were crammed into a small space, chaotic and no order, some people wanted to go east, some people wanted to flee west, and some people wanted to flee north, and as a result, everyone bumped into each other, and no one could go. Quite a few people were knocked off their horses, and then there was a stampede.

To put it bluntly, these Xianbei cavalrymen are herdsmen, and their personal courage is good, and they are brave and ruthless in peacetime, but no matter how high their personal combat strength is, they cannot hide their lack of formal military training, disorganization, and lack of discipline.

That's why it's so chaotic at this time, and it's impossible to clean up the situation in a short period of time. These herdsmen are used to being free and loose in normal times, and they will not listen to orders in the chaos. What's more, the scene is so chaotic now, the leaders of the various tribes can't find their own people at all, and those people can't find their chiefs.

This is the legendary situation where the general cannot find the soldier, and the soldier cannot find the general. Not to mention that these people have any military ranks to distinguish the size of the ranks, they don't even have uniform armor, and they don't have complete banners, even if they have these iconic things, they are not useful, because they will only listen to the orders of their own clan leaders, and they don't buy the words of other clan leaders at all.

This is the evil result of the backward tribal form of social organization, and the Xianbei people's form of social organization is so backward that even their army still adopts this backward form of organization, and it is strange that there is no confusion. Perhaps there is nothing to be done in a well-to-wind war, and once the war is frustrated, this kind of chaos due to backward forms of organization is almost inevitable.

The 1st Division didn't care so much about you, the enemy was in disarray, they took advantage of this opportunity to run at full speed before the enemy formation in three steps and two steps, first took off the thunderbolt hanging from their waists, blew on the fire fold, lit the fuse, and threw it over. But don't forget that some of the rattan armorers were originally part-time grenadiers, and each of them had three thunderbolts around their waists!

Now rush to the front of the enemy formation, and look at the dense cavalry in front of them, of course they have to blow up with these thunderbolts first. Blow up the enemy and slash it again when you blow it up.
