Chapter 609: Can't Hit Me
Whether the cavalry is useful or not, the sweaty cavalry has a deep experience. chop
Two hundred Chongzhen 4330 sounds like a lot, but the intertwined network of firepower makes the sweating soldiers who tried to break through their blockade miserable.
Either directly hit by a machine-gun bullet and died on the spot, or fell off a horse and was trampled into a pulp by the warhorse behind.
Some are the war horses that were hit, directly overturned the owner, fell down, and were still trampled to death.
Fortunately, no matter what kind of death you have, the process is not too painful. This is probably the only thing that can be gratifying.
The front of the sweat was completely disrupted, and the soldiers behind began to cower after witnessing the death of their comrades in front, and did not dare to continue to charge. The speed slowed down.
But slow speed does not mean safety, and the sound of da-da-da continues to sound. The bullets fired by Chongzhen's 4330 were like sickles, harvesting the sweating soldiers like straw.
The momentum of the original charge was completely suppressed, and Hudun Rabbit anxiously sent people to the front to inquire about the news, and the people sent out came back after a while. chop
Then came a piece of news that made him extremely incredulous.
"Great Khan, the firepower of the Horqin Department two miles ahead is too fierce! Our people can't rush through at all!"
"What are you talking about? They are no more than 20,000 at most!? Could it be that everyone has muskets? Besides, even if all of them had guns! Can you hit this far?"
"But all of our people were shot and fell to the ground."
"How many people died?"
"When I just went to check, the casualties were already two or three thousand, and they were still increasing!"
"Fuck it!" chop
Huduntu cursed fiercely and clenched his fists.
The screams in his ears continued to ring, forcing him to make a decision as soon as possible.
Whether to divert direction or to retreat temporarily, this is the question.
But the problem is that at this moment, there is an interception in front and a chasing army in the back, where can the retreat go?
Hudun Rabbit looked left and right, and saw his subordinates with hesitant faces.
What to do?
What to do!? chop
Hudun Rabbit tried his best to hide his flustered emotions.
After a few moments, he gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"Give the order to go down, turn around, and head west!"
"Yes, Great Khan!"
The orders were conveyed downwards layer by layer, and the soldiers who received the orders were relieved, and quickly turned their horses' heads and moved westward under the leadership of the superior officers.
But no matter how fast the speed is, there must be a process, and in such a process, one or two thousand soldiers will die because of it.
Fortunately, the terrain is open, and although there are many people sweating, there is still room for maneuvering. chop
When they were out of range of the heavy machine guns, the clatter stopped.
"They ran away! What should I do!?" Badali watched the sweat leave the battlefield, and said to Gu Jinquan, the leader of the machine gun team, a little anxiously.
"It's okay, the brothers from the border town have arrived at their designated location." Gu Jinquan said calmly, thought about it, and said to Badali again. "You send some soldiers and follow them west. Just prevent them from breaking out, and in case of emergency, I will always bring the brothers to help!"
"Good!"
Badali nodded in agreement, then turned away to give orders.
The large army of the Tiger Dun Rabbit changed direction, and was able to run hard and cheerfully again.
But just after running for more than two miles, before the speed was raised, the sound of clattering sounded from the front again. chop
The soldier who ran at the front was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, he was a survivor of the machine-gun fire just now, and the tragic death of his companion was still in front of him, but he didn't expect to change the direction or be like this.
Hit me, hit me, hit me.
He prayed and bowed down, trying to use his horse to block the other man's shots.
But it backfired, and after running a few more steps, his horse was shot in the head, and he immediately lost his balance and fell headlong
ground, and he was thrown out, and fell to pieces.
The fallen horse tripped over the horse behind it, and a series of rear-end collisions followed.
And the soldier, who prayed that he would not be beaten, was crushed by two horses, and soon stopped moving.
Such scenes can be seen everywhere, but this time, the firepower seems to be much inferior to just now. chop
The source of firepower was the hundred Chongzhen 4330 carried by Zhang Erhu's troops.
That's their secret weapon.
One hundred gates per border town.
Zhu Youzhen had long expected that there would be such a day, or that he had made full preparations for cleaning up the Mongolian cavalry.
Since Chongzhen 4330 was created, he ordered to produce it with all his might, in order to cripple the largest and most disobedient sweat in Monan Mongolia at one time! It also gives other tribes a wake-up call, what, it's called crushing!
Zhang Erhu held a telescope in his hand, looking at the sweating soldiers who were constantly being shot and killed in the distance, and felt a little emotional in his heart.
Not to mention archery at this distance, even people can't really see it, so they set up the machine gun and start to click, but the target on the opposite side is big, and I don't worry about missing the shot at all. chop
This battle was fought like a joke.
He thought about it for a moment, and imagined in his mind how he would solve such a situation if he was sweating on the other side.
Come to think of it, there is only one answer.
No solution.
Whether it's a frontal charge or a detour, the soldier who controls the machine gun only needs to turn the muzzle.
In a breath, dozens of bullets were fired.
Your horse is fast, but what's the use? Sending people to death doesn't necessarily take the time to target you. chop
The only way to survive under such a heavy machine gun is to run.
Or find a place to hide.
But Hudun Rabbit originally broke through and fled for his life, where can he run away?
At this time, Hudun Rabbit and Zhang Erhu had the same idea.
At this time, he had a feeling of being cornered.
There is an enemy in the north, and the fire is fierce. So he fled to the west.
The firepower in the west was weaker than that in the north, and he was lucky, so he let the people below rush desperately. chop
It didn't matter, the closer you got, the more you could feel the terrifying fire of the heavy machine guns.
"Great Khan! The firepower is too strong! I can't rush through it at all! Let's get out!" A tribal leader rode a horse to Hudun Rabbit and said with a crying voice.
Most of the people in his tribe rushed to the front, ran the fastest, and died the worst.
By the time he came to look for Hudun Rabbit, thousands of people were almost dead.
When Hudun Rabbit heard his words, his face was also ugly, and he didn't know how to answer.
You can't get through it in the north, but there are still people in the west.
If there is someone chasing in the south, there must be no one in the east? chop
He didn't have much hope in his heart, but after thinking about it for a long time, he ordered a retreat and moved to the east.
A few thousand died when he charged, and another three or four thousand died when he retreated, plus those who were killed by Gu Jinquan's people, the casualties of the sweat at this time had exceeded 10,000.
The huge cavalry team, which was originally close to 50,000, was now less than 40,000, and its morale had fallen to the extreme.
