Chapter eight hundred and seventy seventh duel
"Boom boom boom..."
The next morning, the smoke from the camp had just been extinguished, and the roar of artillery resounded throughout the battlefield.
The rifled guns were concentrated and distributed on a battlefield with a width of three miles.
The artillery soldiers took telescopes to observe the position of the opponent's artillery, adjusted the muzzle, and targeted the enemy's field artillery.
Drill shells into the opponent's trench position.
Suddenly, huge fire balls emerged from the entire battlefield, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Around the artillery positions are soldiers arranged in close formations.
The soldiers on the east side face east, and the soldiers on the west face west, and each of them had a bayonet loaded with a Qin-style rifle.
They are trying to protect artillery and prevent raids from opposing cavalry.
Although the range and accuracy of the Qin-style rifle are sufficient.
But when dealing with cavalry, the tight formation is still effective.
The same space can accommodate enough soldiers.
Then, the Qin-style rifle reloading speed is ten rounds per minute.
In Zhao Xu's view, each squad standing densely is equivalent to a machine gun.
Thousands of bullets can be fired every minute.
Such a dense formation has sixty squads on the flank of the battlefield, which is equivalent to the arrangement of sixty machine guns.
It is not easy for the cavalry to break through their defense.
Of course, the enemy's artillery favorites such dense squads.
A shell can basically destroy a squad.
But what he is now using is the comprehensive advantage of his own muskets and artillery over the enemy.
Whether it is range, accuracy or power.
The Shi tribe, the Beidi, and even the Ross' artillery could not attack these densely formed squads under the suppression of his rifled guns.
Therefore, after the war broke out, Zhao Xu was not worried about the safety of both wings.
Just waiting for the artillery soldiers to solve the field artillery in the opponent's fortifications.
at the same time.
Ashur and Orsky once again felt the powerlessness when they were at Zhongling Pass.
Their best field artillery at the moment is provided by Britain and brought by the Kingdom of Ross.
There are not many, there are thirty-eight zodiacs in total.
These artillery have an effective range of 1,500 meters, and the shells are solid shells.
But the King of Yan actually placed the rifled cannon two thousand meters away, shooting at them at a place outside the range of their field cannons.
They could not imagine how the other party identified their field artillery position at such a long distance.
What's even more disgusting is the shells that explode one by one.
The artillery that was hit was basically destroyed.
Seeing this scene, Ashul's face turned red with anger.
Orsky fell silent.
Dou Wei and Fan Xinglun were covered in sweat and kept rubbing them.
When he was in Xiangcheng, Dou Wei had only seen the rifled rifle of King Yan.
Never experienced being bombarded by artillery.
Fan Xinglun was in a corner, and his army had never experienced any major war.
Such a terrifying scene naturally made their heartbeat and their breathing was not smooth.
"Instructor Olsky, this seems to be a solution. If this continues, our field artillery will be completely destroyed and the field artillery must be removed." Dou Wei said.
"Can you withstand the field artillery and the Yan King's army launch a charge?" Olsky said.
Don't he feel sorry for these field guns?
However, except for field artillery, they had no other means to cause a large number of casualties to the King of Yan soldiers.
It is easy to remove the artillery, but it takes time to redeploy it.
Therefore, it is difficult to withdraw or not.
Dou Wei opened his mouth when he heard this and finally sighed.
Before the war, he was still full of confidence.
But now, he suddenly fell into deep worries.
The Yan King's army went deep into Yizhou and came prepared.
"Let the cavalry raid their artillery positions try," Ashur said.
Zhongling Pass is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations.
But Yizhou is suitable.
There was also a flat horse near Cotton City, and he believed that only the cavalry had an advantage over the King of Yan.
If their artillery can be destroyed in one fell swoop, their chances of victory will be one more.
Orsky nodded, "That's all."
Now they are being passively beaten, and the only thing they can take the initiative is the cavalry.
Dou Wei and Fan Xinglun were relieved when they heard this.
Soon, two Wolf Lotus each commanded 10,000 cavalry out of Cotton City.
Going around to both sides of the battlefield, they approached the Yan King artillery that was coming forward and launched a charge.
The appearance of the Beidi cavalry immediately aroused the vigilance of the generals of the flanking royal palace.
Chang Wei wanted to mobilize troops to support him, but Zhao Xu pressed him down.
"Three thousand people on each side are enough to deal with them." Zhao Xu said.
He just wants to squash the other party's agility.
If they win by number, they will not be able to deeply understand the gap with the Yanzhou army.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
The Beidi cavalry wandered on both sides for a while, and saw that the soldiers had not crawled out of the Yanzhou army's tent, and they blew the horn.
They lined up into a tight wall of cavalry from eight hundred meters away.
There is neither armor nor leather armor on his body.
Each cavalry is just a single dress and a sabre.
This is the method the Ross teaches them.
Not wearing armor is to make the speed of war horses the fastest, and the cavalry wall can kill the enemy the most.
After lined up, they walked quickly for a while, then jogged, and at a distance of 500 meters, they launched a charge.
But at this moment, they heard a "swish swish swish" sound.
Accompanied by continuous screams, cavalry continued to fall from their horses, and were then trampled on the city's meat paste by the war horses behind them.
Some war horses suddenly let out a wailing cry and rolled to the ground, throwing the cavalry on their backs for about ten meters.
In an instant, the charging cavalry team was in chaos.
But the charge has been launched and I can't look back.
Otherwise, the cavalry that was crowded into a group would only become targets.
"Crazy, crazy, all crazy." Langlu, who led the army, murmured to himself.
He was under the command of Ashuer, and at the battle of Zhongling Pass, he had no chance to fight with the Yan King's army.
But the first time he fought, he was beaten to the point of being at a loss.
But with Ashur's orders, he had to continue to charge.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..." As they charged, the sound of the air being pierced was endless.
Facing the wind, the cavalry around him kept disappearing.
Five hundred meters, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, and two hundred meters, the closer the distance, the fewer cavalry around him.
When he led the cavalry into two hundred meters, he suddenly turned around and found that less than two thousand cavalry were still following him.
At this moment, the opponent's soldiers were two hundred meters away. After rushing through this distance, they might defeat the soldiers of the King of Yan or be wiped out.
This thought flashed through his mind.
But the war horse will not give him time to think.
Two hundred meters are only more than ten breaths for the war horse.
In an instant, he could see the face of the King of Yan soldiers clearly.
Chapter completed!
