Chapter 689: The Musket Battalion Leader Appears
Thundered!
The whole earth trembled.
Everyone's faces were tense, and they subconsciously clenched the knives at their waists, while the sentinels of Yangshan and Nanshan observed for a while and withdrew one after another.
"How's it going, how many people are here?" As soon as the sentry returned, a general hurriedly asked.
The sentry replied, "There are 30,000 cavalry, and the foot soldiers are out of sight." ”
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the generals slammed.
Sure enough, the direction of Qingyuan is the direction of the main attack of the Beidi army!
At this time, the dense Beidi army had already appeared at the end of sight.
At the head were the armored cavalrymen, who wielded scimitars in their hands and screamed, and in a short time occupied Nanshan and Yangshan on both sides.
And the Beidi footman, at a glance, a large piece of black pressure, the dust raised straight to the clouds, the sound was deafening.
"Who is the princess of Beidi, why can't you see it?"
When the generals were nervous, Chen Chao's slightly ridiculous voice came from their ears.
Gao Dajun and the others turned their heads to look over and saw Chen Chao and a group of generals of the Changsheng Army, one of whom was holding a cylindrical thing in his hand, putting it in front of his eyes, and was observing the situation of the Beidi army array in front of him.
There was no figure of Yelu Wu in the field of vision of the telescope, Chen Chao was a little disappointed, seeing that Gao Dajun and the others were curious about the things in their hands, they looked like they had never seen the world, Chen Chao asked someone to give them some.
This telescope is the standard equipment of the generals of the victorious army, and it has not yet been popularized in the army.
Gao Dajun got one, learned from Chen Chao's appearance just now, and put it in front of him and tried to take a look.
The clear picture that appeared in front of him almost made him scream.
In the picture, he can clearly see the appearance of the enemy general, it is a large man with a long beard, and a goshawk is parked on his shoulder.
"This, this is?" Gao Dajun stammered speechless.
"This is a telescope, long-distance vision, come to people, send one to everyone, and treat everyone equally."
Each of the generals of the Xu Jiajun got a telescope, and they couldn't put it down, and they said in their hearts that Chang Shengjun had this thing, why didn't they say it earlier.
This thing is much easier to use than the human eye.
While the generals marveled at the telescope, the Beidi army had already finished arraying and sent a vanguard force to rush over.
At this time, the Changsheng army under the city did not move, standing motionless, as if he did not see the Beidi cavalry rushing over.
On the city wall, a general immediately became anxious, grabbed the city wall with both hands, stuck his head out, and shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Xu Biao, what are you doing in a daze! Don't hurry up and give the order to meet the enemy! ”
"Order to line up to meet the enemy! Beidi is about to rush over! ”
The vanguard of the enemy army is a mixture of cavalry and foot soldiers, with hundreds of cavalry charging at the front, the cavalry is fast and powerful, and can effectively impact and kill their own phalanx.
And the foot soldiers who follow closely behind can take the opportunity to mend the knife.
This is a common tactic used by Beidi!
As time went by, the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, and the Beidi cavalry saw that the Daji soldiers under the city did not react, thinking that they were frightened and stupid, and shouted more vigorously one by one.
"Xu Biao! What the fuck are you doing! At the head of the city, the general of the Xu family army finally couldn't help but scold down.
But Xu Biao under the city didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't even look back.
After a few breaths, he made a simple gesture.
There was a slight change in the formation of the victorious army, and I saw that the phalanx of soldiers of the sword and shield battalion at the front made a hole and let the soldiers of the musket battalion behind come to the front of the phalanx.
The soldiers of the musket battalion stood in two rows in front of and behind.
The first platoon raised its flintlock pistols and aimed at the Beidi cavalry charging in front of them.
"It's all in a row, get ready!"
The captain of the musket battalion, holding the knife at his waist, stood on the side and gave the order.
The soldiers of the first row of musket battalions had serious faces, and their fingers were already on the trigger.
Pedal Pedal –
The Beidi cavalry came closer.
There are only three hundred paces left.
This distance is much more than the effective range of a normal bow and arrow.
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred and seventy steps!
Two hundred and fifty steps!
……
It's getting closer.
Gao Dajun and others pinched a cold sweat for the victorious army who fought the first battle under the city.
But suddenly.
"Put!"
With the order of the captain of the musket battalion, the musketeers of the first platoon pulled the trigger in their hands.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ……
A series of loud noises suddenly came out, accompanied by no small amount of smoke.
I saw that the Beidi war horse that rushed to the front suddenly fell headlong, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown more than ten meters away at once due to the effect of inertia, and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
For a time, people on the battlefield turned on their backs.
The neighing of horses and the wailing of soldiers.
Intertwined, endless!
When he looked again, the captain of the musket battalion gave another order.
The formation changed, the soldiers in the first row took a step back after firing a shot, and the soldiers of the second row of musket battalions stepped forward, raised their flintlock pistols and aimed.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
"Bang ......"
The guns rang out again, and bullets shot out of the barrel at high speed at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye, accurately hitting the charging Beidi cavalry.
The Beidi cavalry instantly fell into a large area, wailing non-stop!
The formation of the musket battalion changed again, and the soldier who had fired once before had already changed the flintlock pistol in his hand, stepped forward again, raised his gun to aim, and pulled the trigger again......
The two rows of soldiers stepped forward in rotation.
Their task is also very simple, they will drop back and change their ammunition after a shot.
After the bullet is changed, step forward to aim, pull the trigger, and make it seamless.
Seeing the enemy's war horses fall one after another, they couldn't even rush in front of their own phalanx, let alone use the speed of the cavalry to impact their own phalanx, and the Daji soldiers at the head of the city burst into applause.
"Good! Good! ”
And the Beidi side also realized that the situation was wrong, and the cavalry obviously did not enter the range of the enemy's bow and arrows, but they fell mysteriously one by one.
Fear began to eat away at their minds, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
In a few breaths, hundreds of cavalry were almost finished before they could rush to the front of the Daji Formation, and the Beidi infantry behind them were still roaring and shouting excitedly, but now they became silent.
They froze in place, staring at the smoking and making noises of the weapons, and one by one they swallowed nervously.
Finally, someone couldn't help it: "Witchcraft! It's witchcraft! ”
"Brothers, run away, the Daji people know witchcraft!"
The first man began to run back, followed by the others, under his influence, and one by one they also began to run back.
The Daji generals on the city wall saw the embarrassed appearance of the enemy soldiers throwing away their armor and fleeing backwards, and they happily slapped the city wall one by one.
Joyfully!
It's a great battle!
