Chapter 981: Cavalry Regiment (2)
At around two o'clock at noon on the 24th, the final battle between the Qingjun and Tianshui Gouzi officially kicked off.
Because there is a point between the two sides that the battle will be completely resolved today and the idea that they don't want to drag it out any longer, there is no talk between the two sides that anyone will attack whom, and they attack each other almost at the same time.
On the side of the sweetwater ditch, the attack was arranged like this.
The three of War Elephant, Fengrui, and Old Snake, with the first and second companies of the first battalion of cavalry, and one or two companies of cavalry troops, killed the left flank of Daqing.
Huang Yizhi, Ah Li, and Er Fat were the four companies with a battalion of cavalry. Killed the right flank of Daqing.
On the left and right flanks, they invested about 300 cavalry.
Yang Dongli, the second leader of the team, is with the remaining Lao Hei, Lao Tie, Maize, Yuanhai, Mr. Nanze, Shi Poyu, Xiong Da, Hanjiang and other players.
With the rest of the company, a total of more than 1,300 people fought in the form of infantry, slowly approaching the position of the Chinese army in Daqing.
That's right, the vast majority of the personnel of their so-called cavalry regiment in this battle are still dismounted and started fighting like infantry.
No way! Or is it because of the limited time, there is not enough time for military training.
The cavalry troops on both wings, if it is not surprising, will have a fierce battle with the elite Eight Banners cavalry under the command of Shengbao.
In this way, in the huge cavalry regiment of Tianshui Ditch.
There are only the first, second, third, fourth, etc., and the four earliest cavalry companies were formed, because they have more training time, better equipment, stronger riding skills, and better tactical execution.
Able to take on this kind of two-flank attack, fight with the opponent's cavalry, and win the task.
The remaining companies basically belonged to the new troops formed after Yang Dongli and others arrived in Liaodong, and they incorporated all kinds of bandits.
In terms of riding, it basically stays at the level of being able to ride and hurry; Wanting them to fight on a war horse is simply a luxury.
So there was this kind of scene after the war, most of the people dismounted and slowly killed the Daqing Chinese army.
And the reaction of the Qingjun is also a little bit of a gong in front of the face and a drum on the opposite side.
On the flanks, all their remaining Eight Banner cavalry split into two, and under the leadership of Tepchin and others, they took the initiative to meet the opponent's cavalry.
Prevent the opponent's cavalry from cutting through the flanks and disrupt the formation of the center.
In the position of the Chinese army, it was a group of infantry from the Green Battalion, plus some Eight Banner infantry mainly from Sauron, which were also slowly advancing.
In short, at the beginning of this battle, a scene put forward by the two sides was cavalry against cavalry and infantry against infantry, intending to harden the posture of the previous battle.
If I had to say, what are the differences between the two sides.
That is the side of the green army, which is more than double in terms of troops.
On the left and right flanks, there were seven or eight hundred cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Green Army in each place, which was a little more than twice that of the Sweet Water Ditch.
In the position of the Chinese army, the strength of the infantry of the green army reached nearly 3,000 people.
In addition to the great superiority in troops, the Qing army also had a total of about ten cannons.
Among them, the two largest artillery pieces are Daqing's 'Divine General Cannon', which weighs 1,000 catties, and the shells fired weigh 3 catties and 8 taels, which is almost equal to the caliber of Western five-pounder guns.
The smallest three artillery pieces are Daqing's Shenwei General Cannon, which weighs 400 catties, and the weight of the shells fired is only 18 taels.
These ten guns were installed on mobile artillery trucks by the Green Army.
At present, under the impetus of a large number of green battalion soldiers, it is beginning to move forward with the Chinese army......
"Bastard, look at your aunt? Wait for your aunt and grandmother not to blow your head with a punch, then when the old lady goes back, she will agree to Lao Tie's pursuit of that goods, and this day will not be over. ”
After putting down the binoculars in his hand, the indignant war elephant in his heart secretly swore a poisonous oath in his mouth.
It can be regarded as an expression of the determination of Tepchin, the commander of the youth army on the left flank, in the battle of waiting.
To be more specific, in the wind that blows on the face and still makes people feel noticeably cool.
The men and horses on both sides are slowly approaching the opponent.
In the process of approaching each other, the war elephant picked up the binoculars in his hand and looked at the commander of the green army on the opposite side, who was wearing a good iron cotton armor under the protection of a group of guards.
Then I found that the other party was also holding a monocular and looked over here.
If that's all there is to it, it doesn't matter.
But thanks to the vision of the war elephant and the high-quality telescope brought from the modern plane, Tepchen could be seen looking at him with an unusually obscene expression.
Don't think about it, it must be what will happen after preparing to win the battle and capture yourself.
Suddenly, the short-tempered girl of the war elephant scolded such a sentence in her mouth.
But even so, the war elephant showed a rather calm demeanor; Even with the anger in her heart, she has rich experience in using war horses, and she is not in a hurry to increase the speed of the horse.
Because with the quality of these war horses, charging too early will waste the physical strength of the war horses, which is not much.
However, to the surprise of the three of War Elephant, Fengrui, and Old Snake, the commander on the opposite side, Tepchin, also performed at a very good level.
Likewise, he didn't charge immediately, but moved slowly to save the horse's physical strength.
In this process, the Qingjun side spread out an area of the boss, which seemed to be a bit of a strong posture.
It's just that in the face of several times the opponent, the soldiers of the first and second companies don't have the slightest panic on their faces.
Seeing this, the war elephant couldn't help but nodded, knowing that the process of taking them to attack continuously and exterminating one group after another was not in vain.
These victories have allowed these rookies to develop enough battlefield confidence.
When the distance between the two sides reached one and a half miles, the war elephant kicked the horse's belly, making the crotch system war horse 'White Feather' begin to accelerate at the same time.
The mouth is also open, and he shouts out with a crisp voice: "Accelerate ~"
Almost at the same time, the cavalry of the Qing Army on the opposite side also began to accelerate.
It is equivalent to coincidentally, the commanders of both sides, such as Tepqin and War Elephant, issued an order to gradually increase the speed of the war horse.
Because with the experience of the commanders of both sides, they know that if they start to speed up gradually in their current position.
When the cavalry of the two sides collided together, it was just enough to increase the speed of the horse to the fastest situation.
For this reason, Yang Dongli and others of the Chinese army can see that almost at the same time, the war horses on both sides of the left flank battlefield, driven by their respective masters, began to trot, and ran faster and faster, and began to gallop.
In this gradual acceleration, the distance between the two sides is rapidly narrowing.
The situation is similar on the right flank, where the battle will start in tens of seconds at most......
*****
Facing the opponent who was about to enter the firing range, the cavalry of the Eight Banners on the battlefield on the left flank, in the shouting of Tepchin, drew their cavalry bows one after another.
With a bow and arrow, wait for the opponent to get closer and then shoot with your hands.
At this time, this Daqing Imperial Court had an indescribable expression of confidence on the face of a first-class official.
Because he clearly knew that if he picked up the accuracy of the musket and had the ability to make muskets, they would naturally not be as good as these Han people.
That's why on the way over, I was so uncomfortable with a black gun.
But in terms of riding and archery, they are full of ancestral skills.
These Han people in front of them actually want to ride and fight with them when the number of people is less than half, isn't this the birthday boy hanging, and he thinks his life is long?
With such a thought, as the distance from the opponent got closer and closer, the emotions in Tepchin's heart also became more and more high.
They even fantasized that after defeating the opponent's cavalry on the left flank, they would continue to advance, and disrupt the formation of their infantry.
For this war, it played a decisive role.
Unfortunately, Tepchin soon stopped laughing.
Because he was suddenly horrified to find that these Han cavalry, who had been nothing more than mud-legged before, still maintained the tight formation just now even after charging at high speed.
So much so that now, the cavalry of the Eight Banners on both wings can see that the opposite side is like a wall crashing into it.
They are so close that they are not afraid of the war horses colliding together?
Saying! Staying outside the sparsely populated pass all the year round, Te Puqin and his Eight Banners cavalry have never seen such a 'wall charge' tactic.
For a while, they were a little confused.
just looked at this strange tactic, but there was a little hairiness in my heart.
It's just that in the continuous acceleration of the two sides, the distance between them is only more than 100 meters, and they are about to collide together, and it is too late to do anything more.
Tepchin's heart was simply crossed, and he shouted out a sentence in his mouth: "Release the arrows, shoot them~"
Under his order, the elites of the Eight Banners who had already completed the action of drawing their bows and arrows beckoned the sharp arrows in their hands one after another.
Suddenly, hundreds of sharp arrows shrouded those strange Han cavalry.
It's just the result of this round of arrow rain, but it's a little unsatisfactory.
Except for eleven or twelve rebels who fell from their horses after being hit by arrows; The remaining opponents were obviously shot several arrows in the chest and abdomen, but nothing happened at all.
Judging from the fact that some sharp arrows were actually bounced off the target after hitting the target.
Under all kinds of clothes, these people are actually wearing a pair of excellent battle armor.
After realizing this, Tepchin's heart was very depressed; However, seeing that the two sides were about to collide, a brand new order was still issued in his mouth:
"Move closer to the formation, rush up, scatter them, kill them.
The warriors of the Eight Banners, there are so many of us, we will definitely be able to win against these rebels~"
Under such an order, the Eight Banners soldiers could no longer care about the strange situation of these mud legs and still wearing good armor.
They put away the bows and arrows in their hands and picked up the weapons they were good at, such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds.
Desperately whipping his horses, he rushed towards those walls and met his opponents; As Master Tepchin said: there are many of them, what are they afraid of......
Because it was too late in time, the cavalry regiment of Tianshuigou had not yet had time to make a unified military uniform; It's just a standard armor, but it has already been produced under the beating of a steam-powered forging hammer.
This type of armor is actually only one piece of armor in the front position.
After being tied to the chest with skin, it is a simple semi-breastplate that can only protect the vital points of the chest and abdomen.
The overall weight of this thing is only 4.5 kilograms, but the defense is quite good, at least with the current riding bows in the hands of these Eight Banners, it is impossible to break through the defense.
Combined with a flying saucer-style steel helmet, this set of armor can be said to be quite useful.
It's a pity that under the rush of time, the equipment making workshop led by Lao Tie is quite limited in terms of output; So far, only the left and right wings have been completed, and a total of four companies have been completely reloaded.
For the rest of the company, only the officers were allotted a piece.
Of course? This thing has a limited defensive area, and can only protect the chest and abdomen.
Therefore, in this round of arrow rain in the Green Army, there were more than a dozen people in the front row who were shot by arrows because of their necks and faces.
He fell from his horse on the spot, was not shot to death, and was trampled to death on the spot.
In addition, there were seven or eight people, who were hit by arrows in their arms and thighs, and they also let out a muffled snort in their mouths.
But when the ears were full of comrades-in-arms, after being hit by the arrow, they snorted in pain; The cavalry of Sweet Water Ditch still took care to control the horse, keeping it as fast as possible with its comrades on the left and right.
Let your side's 'Cavalry Wall Charge' tactic continue to be maintained.
After seeing such a scene, the three of War Elephant, Fengrui, and Old Snake became more and more relieved in their eyes; Knowing the battle on the battlefield on the left flank, it can basically be stable.
Then, without the slightest communication, the three of them shouted an order with great tacit understanding: "Draw a gun......"
Under the order to 'draw their guns', all the cavalry under their command immediately released the reins from their hands and relied only on their legs to control their horses and maintain balance.
With his free hands, he quickly pulled out two flintlock short guns from the holster at his waist.
With his thumb, he wrenched the hammer back, raised his arms, and aimed it forward, waiting for the order to fire.
That's right! The mainstream weapon currently used by Sweet Water Ditch is this kind of flintlock short gun that can only fire once at a time, and then reload it with an extremely cumbersome flintlock short gun.
And not the kind of revolver that the team currently uses.
It's not that without the wolf green, Lao Tie can't process this kind of revolver.
Just by rubbing it by hand, Lao Tie, who is a senior member of the equipment production team, can make this thing; The key is that there is no suitable machine, and it will be a miserable one just by hand-rubbing the speed and output of production.
In the end, after taking into account the production process, speed, and efficiency, it can only be produced to produce this flintlock short gun.
Fortunately, in the face of the last Eight Banners cavalry in Daqing, this kind of flint-haired short gun that can only be fired alone is completely enough in terms of power.
When the distance between the two sides was twenty to thirty meters, the thick fingers of the war elephant pulled the small trigger on his hand with some effort.
Twelve rounds of ammunition from a pair of revolvers in his hand were summoned out in a very short time.
And the movement of her shooting is the clearest signal for Feng Rui and Old Snake, as well as for the soldiers of Tianshuigou on the left-wing battlefield.
Everyone pulled the trigger one after another, emptying the guns in their hands.
Then, with great decisiveness, they let go of their revolvers, or flintlocks, and let them fall to the ground, taking in their hands the spears that hung from the triumphant hooks of their horses.
They all raised one hand, and after one end was caught under the armpit, a jungle of spears was formed.
At this point, two hundred and sixty or seventy spears, after a round of fire strikes in front of them, were already quite panicked and killed by the Daqing cavalry.
So, at this moment, Tepchin, who was in the back, could see such a scene with horror:
Behind a burst of dense guns like fried beans, the Eight Banner warriors in front of him were immediately knocked down from their horses.
made the tight formation of the own side that had just been gathered sparse a lot at once.
Then, these sparse cavalry faced the opponents who rushed forward like a wall in front of them, with their spears in their hands.
Even in Tepchin's impression on weekdays, he can be regarded as a brave warrior of the Eight Banners.
After hesitating for a moment, he also desperately whipped the war horse and adjusted the direction of the horse's head, trying to avoid such an amazing impact.
They either managed to escape, but their faces turned pale with fright, and their morale dropped wildly.
Either because they couldn't dodge, and after being stabbed by several spears, they all rose high from their horses; The war horse that lost its owner was hit by several war horses at the same time, and it was directly knocked to the ground.
In short, the Daqing Imperial Court is a member of the first rank, the Hei * Jiang General Tepuqin.
Seeing the Eight Banners cavalry that he was proud of, even if he suffered heavy casualties after rushing head-on, he couldn't stop these smaller opponents at all.
Instead, the opponent was like a peerless sword, easily splitting their team and killing them all the way.
Seeing this, Tepchin's heart was grief-stricken, and the whole person was stupid.
However, after a few seconds at most, he was awakened by the sound of 'Adult Run' in his ears, and after a quick glance at the situation, he was almost not scared to death.
Because in the observation in front of the station, the blonde woman, who was taller than the man and rode a big horse, actually rode alone and killed her.
Under the wielding of a huge two-handed axe in his hand, there was no enemy at all, and he was about to kill him.
The guards around him were also loyal, and one of them pulled his war horse to the right while evacuating; The other six guards took the initiative to meet him, trying to buy him a little time to avoid it.
It's a pity that the loyalty shown by the guards didn't make the slightest difference.
The blonde woman kicked the war horse violently, and the speed of the war horse under her crotch suddenly skyrocketed.
Relying on her speed, she directly rushed past the interception of the four guards, and the remaining two guards were swept by her axe, killing two of them with one move.
Then, for Tepchin, it was all over.
One second, he saw that the last guard beside him was cut in half, and the next second, a casserole-sized fist smashed into his skull with a whistle that broke through the air.
Then, of course, he couldn't see anything.
But others can be horrified to see that under the hateful attack of the war elephant, the braincase of General Hei * Jiang was actually blown up by a punch.
It was as if a hammer had been picked up and slammed into a watermelon......
