Chapter 127 Riding and Shooting Meritorious Snake Heart Swallowing Elephant

This group of Houjin Tartars, each with one or more horses, these horses were suddenly released by the master, and immediately turned into a torrent towards the training camp of those Fanren soldiers, seeing, this wave of impact, these Fanren soldiers have not yet touched their enemies, they will be trampled by the horses.

The soldiers guarding behind the earthen wall were terrified to watch, and their flesh and blood were simply too fragile to these crazy horses, and almost everyone thought that the horses' hooves would soon plow a bloody path through the crowd. Although these people are not very likable, they are still their own people after all, and they died under the horse's hooves so inexplicably, which inevitably made them feel a little unbearable.

However, at this moment, they no longer had much to worry about the comrades outside the city wall, and behind them, the officers had already shouted a series of commands to reload, fill the medicine, and light the fire rope, and rang out one after another behind the city wall.

However, among the soldiers brought by Yu Feng this time, there were two hundred households equipped with flintlock muskets, and there were nearly two hundred people who were holding flintlock muskets and could enter the battle at any time. The flintlock muskets were of course easier to operate than the old-fashioned muskets, so they were indeed more relaxed than their colleagues with old-fashioned muskets, but the expressions on their faces were as nervous as those of their colleagues, because they were leaning against the outermost part of the wall, and if these Tartars did not go through the main gate and attacked nearby, they would bear the brunt. Of course, they didn't know that this was a task that their hundreds of households grabbed in order to show off in front of their colleagues, or to show their faces in front of Yu Feng.

"Bang bang" a few loud sounds, among the soldiers of the training camp, there was a burst of white smoke, no one expected, the first to fire, it was actually the soldiers of the training camp, not to mention the results of these shots, the horses that were running forward were indeed startled by the sound of this gun, the gray law neighed, and suddenly accelerated and rushed into the team of the training camp, but some horses obviously lost their sense of direction and actually rushed to the side.

As everyone expected, the soldiers who rushed to the front, like a paper kite, were knocked down in the air at once, and then fell far away in the crowd, everyone knew in their hearts that these people, I am afraid that they will not survive, even if they are not killed, they will be trampled to death by horses or people, and there is no luck!

Yu Feng could see that the training camp had simply made some adjustments to the collision with this horse, and in his heart, he could make such adjustments to the opponent's actions in such a short period of time, whether it was the commander's improvisation or the personal quality of the soldiers, it could be called excellent. It's a pity that their adjusted movements are very different from Yu Feng's thoughts, if they are commanded by Yu Feng, they must form a tight array to resist the collision of these horses, although there may be a lot of casualties, but horses are also spiritual animals, after the initial momentum, I am afraid that there will not be too many people who will hit the tip of the bright spear with their eyes open and dead as if they were at home, the purpose of life is to continue, not self-destruction.

Of course, the horse is controlled by the rider, but that's another story.

However, the commander of the training battalion apparently took a different approach, and as the officers shouted loudly, the ranks of these soldiers became more loose, a bit like the straggler formation of later generations. Obviously, the commander was ready to take the loss, and what he did was to minimize the loss and get closer to the enemy faster.

This measure cannot be miscalculated, at present, there are obviously more soldiers in this training battalion than the enemy, if you can fight to lose some people, can quickly approach the enemy, annihilate the enemy, then those dead soldiers, their sacrifice will also be worthwhile.

The uncontrolled startled horses rushed over, even the widest impact surface, it was only four or five horses, and in such a skirmish line, it was impossible to deal a serious blow, like a sharp blade cutting butter, these horses easily penetrated the formation of the training camp, leaving thirty or twenty unlucky eggs who could not dodge, and flew away.

The Fanren soldiers who were stimulated by blood and screams with red eyes, no one would care about the people lying on the ground at this moment, one by one shouted loudly, and rushed towards the Houjin Tartars who had already reined in the reins of the horses, at the moment, these soldiers, I am afraid that these barbarians on horseback would run away, after all, no matter how human legs can run, they can't catch up with the four legs of the horse. If these enemies run away, they will be in vain.

Sutai didn't plan to run, he had his own pride, but three or five hundred rakshasa ghosts like demons and monsters, under the impact of the war horse, they would all bleed and die. As long as it is a human being, it is not so terrible for the invincible elite soldiers of the Eight Banners.

He raised his hands high and made his gesture, and the Eight Banners under his command were quite familiar with this gesture, which was "Riding and shooting!" ".

Mounted archery is not just a horse archery, but a very effective tactic handed down from generation to generation by this nomadic people against the Central Plains army, especially the foot soldiers. When the number of people is small or even less than them, it is natural to carry the horse and rampage, and everyone knows this. However, when the opponent exceeds his own number, or even far exceeds himself, this riding and archery technique is very necessary.

In general, the two armies are facing each other, and the nomads feint to lure the other to chase after each other, and then on horseback, they use their superb riding and archery skills to kill and injure the opponent's living forces. If the other party gives up the pursuit, the defeated side will immediately stick to it again, using its powerful mobility ability to also achieve the purpose of killing and injuring the opponent's living force.

After this, the cavalry shooting of the Golden Eight Banners also followed this method of warfare, the difference is that at this moment, the other party is almost all foot soldiers, and they are more calm in advancing and retreating.

With Sutai's gesture, the Eight Banners soldiers behind him turned over and dismounted, took out a big bow, and one by one skillfully opened the bow and arrows, shooting at the sky, and after shooting, he didn't even look at his results, and immediately jumped on his horse and left.

But it's one arrow per person, for those who are eager to close the distance to the close hand-to-hand combat Fanren soldiers, the damage caused is not small, the Fanren soldiers, wearing iron armor, that is a no, except for a small number of people wearing half-body leather armor, most people are wearing a battle jacket, occasionally a few carrying a small wooden shield, in this scene of arrow rain, don't care at all, this burst of arrow rain, seven or eight fell on the spot, and about the same number of people, the body was hit by the arrow.

What's even worse is that the arrows of these Eight Banners soldiers, and the light arrows of the Ming Dynasty, are completely different things, and they can often be seen in history books.

These Eight Banners soldiers use big bows, those horn bows that shoot light arrows, bows that hunt bows, in front of this kind of big bow, there is not much difference from a toy, this kind of bow is not necessarily very accurate, but the range is long, and it is a heavy arrow made of heavy arrows made of iron three-edged arrows, basically, either it is not shot, or the shot is a serious injury, and if it is not immediately carried down for treatment, bleeding can be killed by the arrow. The head of the Manchurian Cavalry Shooting Peerless is not for fun, but people have real skills, otherwise, the Ming army would not have lost a battle in the field battle against them!

That is to say, this attack basically abolished the combat effectiveness of nearly twenty people in the training camp, plus those who were overturned by the startled horses, and even the people of these Houjin soldiers have not been touched, and almost the training camp has lost nearly one-eighth of its combat strength, and if it is replaced by ordinary soldiers of the Daming Guard, I am afraid it will collapse long ago.

Sutai is also wondering, although these people are not ghosts and ghosts (let's just call him Rakshasa ghosts!) ), seems to be a little brave, compared to the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it seems to be a lot stronger, but he does not have a trace of timidity.

"No return? It's better not to return! Hum! Riding and shooting back and forth a few times, killing your hearts, and then rushing these warriors under your own command is not the same as chasing ducks! He thought to himself.

In his heart, his more than 100 elite soldiers, defeating or even destroying these rabble, there is no problem at all.

The sound of "bang" firecrackers came back to mind, and it was thought that the dozen or so musketeers of the training camp had reloaded their gunpowder and opened fire on the enemy in the process of running. It's a pity that Sutai and his men and horses have already run away for nearly two hundred steps, and these firecrackers don't expect to hit anything.

Regardless of the new and old-fashioned firecrackers, the weight is more than 20 pounds, can be loaded and launched in the run, and no launch bracket has been used, obviously, there are only those who are extremely strong in the fan, like the Yufeng Army, the two-foot-long support wooden frame carried behind the firecrackers, which is one of the necessary equipment for the firecrackers.

There was a sneer on Su Tai's face, these Rakshasa ghosts are also like those North Korean soldiers, do they want to rely on some things that can only smoke to beat their warriors to death? It was a big joke, and he secretly calculated in his heart that when these people were within a hundred paces, he would shoot another round of arrows and continue to retreat. If they have the ability, they will continue to chase it!

"Play the piano!" Yu Feng stopped doing it, looking at the situation in the middle of the battlefield, these people in the training camp rushed up, but they were afraid that they didn't get close to the other party, and they had to leave behind more than a dozen lost corpses, although he couldn't say anything about these cannon fodder, but these people were also his strength, which he raised with silver and grain, and it was so meaningless to lose here, and this transaction was too bad!

"Mingjin! Tell them to withdraw! The Divine Machine Battalion covers them! Yu Fengsen sternly ordered: "Pro-soldier team, show me a good look, who dares to order the gun to be released first, cut me directly!" ”
