Eight hundred and seventy-eighth chapter cavalry sunset
"Bang bang bang..."
In the last round of shooting, the two sides were only more than ten meters away.
At such a close distance, the remaining cavalry fell down densely like wheat being swept by the wind.
After all, even the flintlock can basically maintain a hit rate of 90% within this distance.
After firing the bullet, the soldiers of the royal family immediately squatted down and raised the bayonet.
The only hundreds of cavalry remained, under inertia, continued to rush towards the soldiers of the royal palace and crashed into the forest-like bayonet.
"Nee..." The sharp bayonet easily pierced the body of the war horse, causing the war horse to make a shrill cry.
The pace of charge also stopped.
The soldiers in the front row of the royal family were not feeling well, and their hands holding the musket tightly were torn apart due to the collision.
Cavalry that lost their mobility is very fragile.
The soldiers of the royal palace who had stopped the cavalry from rushing to fight immediately.
Easily pick the Beidi cavalry off the war horses.
This is a war that took place on the east side.
The cavalry on the west side suffered equally miserable, but at the last moment, the wolf tracks that led the cavalry were not like the wolf tracks on the east side.
When he was two hundred meters away, he led the remaining cavalry to turn their horses and flee.
However, the soldiers of the royal palace did not let them go, and the bullet chased their butts.
Thousands of corpses were left behind, and hundreds of cavalry fled back to Cotton City.
"..." In the camp, Chang Wei kept holding a telescope and watching the battle between the Northern Di cavalry and the soldiers of the royal palace.
He was still worried about the fact that there were three thousand soldiers left on both sides of the east and west sides of the Yan King.
But now the final result is even shocked by himself.
Three thousand infantrymen won so easily against ten thousand cavalrymen.
"Let the soldiers clean the battlefield. One horse is enough for thirty soldiers to eat for a day." Zhao Xu smiled. He was not very surprised by the result.
Cavalry appears insignificant on the battlefield after machine guns appear.
But before, he had already appeared weak in front of the musket.
The Battle of Baliqiao in the Second Contemporary Opium War.
The famous Qing Dynasty general Senggelinqin led more than 10,000 elite Mongolian cavalry, and 20,000 infantry launched a charge against the 8,000 British and French coalition forces.
As a result, from beginning to end, the cavalry was completely wiped out without rushing within fifty meters.
Twenty thousand infantrymen were also defeated, but they caused less than fifty casualties to the other side.
At that time, Britain and France used only the front-mounted line guns that had been eliminated by the Yanzhou army.
It can be said that at this time, the weapon gap between Britain and France and the Qing Dynasty at that time could no longer be made up by the number of soldiers.
For him, the gap between him and the firearms between the Shi Clan and Beidi is also similar.
Only the front-mounted rifled guns they installed can cause them a little trouble.
Based on this, he was confident that his six thousand soldiers were enough to deal with the Beidi cavalry.
"Yes, Your Highness." Chang Wei responded and immediately issued an order.
Afterwards, he looked excited, "Your Highness, we don't have to worry about the Beidi cavalry in the future."
"You are right, not right." Zhao Xu smiled. "A stupid charge like this is useless to us, but if the tactics are appropriate, the cavalry is still very dangerous, such as when the formation is in chaos, being ambushed, etc."
Chang Wei said, "But they beat us into chaos, it's not easy."
Zhao Xu nodded, he just reminded Chang Wei, and told him and the generals not to become arrogant because of this time.
"Boom boom boom..."
While fighting with the cavalry, the roar of artillery did not stop.
Zhao Xu said again, "It's almost done, just push the howitzer up and blow them up for three days and three nights."
Chang Wei and the generals showed knowing smiles.
After the Battle of Jinling, they became more and more fond of artillery preparations.
The artillery strikes in the front of the general attack can continuously kill and damage the morale of the opponent's soldiers.
Cotton City.
At this moment, Ashur's face turned pale.
Standing on the city wall, he witnessed the tragic situation of the cavalry with his own eyes.
This made his heart feel like he had been cut by one knife after another.
"I didn't expect that even the cavalry had no way to deal with them." Dou Wei's brows were locked deeper.
He also witnessed the battle between the cavalry and the Yan King's infantry just now.
Ashur hated, but he was afraid.
In his memory, the Beidi Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world.
But the King of Yan had only a few thousand people, and he cut melons and vegetables, annihilated two teams of cavalry.
What scared him the most was that the number of infantry was not as large as that of cavalry.
It was in this case that the Beidi cavalry was completely defeated.
"This is the power of the new musket." Orsky's face was serious.
During the Battle of Zhongling Pass, he did not have a complete understanding of the new musket of King Yan.
But through this cavalry charge, he thoroughly understood.
Because, in order to deal with cavalry, the soldiers of the King of Yan basically showed all the advantages of this musket.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't have the confidence to win, so don't try to attack again. The chances of winning are too small. Now, we can only follow the strategy we have formulated until the Yan King's food is exhausted, and then stop him from obtaining supplies at all costs."
After saying that, he looked at the Yan King's army camp in the distance, his eyes flashing.
This enemy is too dangerous, and he must fulfill his duties as a soldier with all his heart.
