Chapter 350: Ferry Battle

In the early morning, there were no clouds in the sky, the moon hung high in the sky, and countless stars were also flashing.

Against the backdrop of moonlight and starlight, there were dozens of fishing boats at the ferry, and they were walking on the fishing boats without making any sound. In this dark night, it was like a ghost.

This is the elite army. Under any circumstances, it can keep orders in place. Xu Da looked at the soldiers who were boarding the ship and felt proud. What he brought this time was the elite troops in the entire army.

Because the boat was small and could not carry horses, the one who was going to attack was a small island, and carrying horses was useless, so the horses were left on the shore, leaving behind a hundred-man guard.

The rest of the people were holding the weapons in their hands, and the weapons had been painted with soil in advance, covering the reflection of the weapons.

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier found a rhythmic sound of water coming from the black night sky. Then, he saw a giant.

The steam engine warship that was left behind arrived on time. Because the night was dark and it was impossible to aim at a long distance, the warship was ready to approach the range of 200 steps and then cover the opponent with firepower.

Because of the ban, he did not make a sound, but just looked at a dark outline in the distance with his own eyes.

As the warship approached, more and more soldiers heard unusual sounds, and more and more soldiers saw a behemoth appearing in the night.

What is that?

Xu Da also saw it. Similarly, he didn't know what it was, but his years of battlefield intuition told him that the other party would definitely be bad.

"Prepare the bow and arrow, if the other party gets closer, the bow and arrow will shoot." Xu Da's voice seemed so clear in the dark night.

At this time, they had all stepped onto the warships. As elite soldiers, each of them had a spear and a pair of bows and arrows, which could be fought in close combat or attacked from afar. Their combat effectiveness was above the elite cavalry of the Tartars.

Because the equipment's muskets are unstable, the range is close, and the loading is troublesome, Xu Da did not carry the musket during this attack.

The steam engine warship was moving forward constantly. In the dark night, the gunners on the ship finally discovered the fishing boats crowded together.

If Xu Da knew what he would face next, he would never let others wait for the other party to approach at the ferry. The most correct choice was to disperse immediately.

All the scattered fireworks were already quickly aiming at each other, and the fishing boats crowded together were their best targets.

If the fishing boats scattered and fled, then on such nights, both sides were in motion and they could not complete the shooting mission smoothly.

And now, it's just like routine training.

The soldier who first discovered the other party's behemoth, suddenly saw that there seemed to be sporadic flames on the behemoth.

That was the twist of the scattered fireworks burning.

Then, a huge roar was heard, and countless violent flames suddenly appeared on the giant creature.

That was the fireworks that had been fired.

They are already in trouble.

"Bow and arrow, shoot immediately." Xu Da ordered.

The distance between two hundred steps is not that far, but since the opponent makes a move, he has to respond.

Because the night was dark, some gunners did not complete precise aiming.

Some of the bullets of the scattered fireworks fell into the water, and some deviated from the target. About one-third of the scattered fireworks shells completed the last step of the explosion above the fishing boat.

Suddenly, all kinds of iron nails and fragments mixed in the warhead flew down at extremely high speed. As long as you are unfortunately hit by the fragments, you will be a sea of ​​blood.

"Go ashore and retreat immediately." Xu Da said.

In the night, the enemy situation is not clear. Although Xu Da is brave, he is never reckless. In this case, the most important thing is to temporarily preserve his strength.

Only by knowing oneself and an enemy can one win every battle. Although he did not see him personally, Xu Da knew that Zhang Shicheng's army was equipped with powerful artillery, so he could defeat the millions of troops of the court. People like him were not enough to be able to get between the cannons.

The elite troops were once again reflected here. Although they were severely hit, Xu Da immediately ran to the ferry in an orderly manner with no congestion or chaos.

The fireworks fired only twice, and the fishing boat was empty. Such a result would definitely make the commanders of the warships dissatisfied.

The first shot can only be called a test shot. The second shot can be adjusted according to the first bounce point to make the shooting elements more accurate. As a result, as soon as the second shot was shot, the opponent ran away. It seems that this elite army was not blown away, but when they escape, they were indeed elite.

The task of the warship is to give the opponent the biggest blow when he boards the ship. After he gets ashore, it will not be under the control of the warship. If the firepower is increased, it is easy to shoot one's own people by mistake.

Because the army led by General Chang has surrounded the ferry.

In addition to leaving two thousand troops to guard the Killing Port, Chang Yuchun brought 10,000 people and surrounded the ferry.

Retreat from the fishing boat, the troops had lost 20% of their troops. Xu Da knew that there might be a problem this time, and his whereabouts were discovered.

The surprise attack is a word "strange". Now that people have discovered, all the targets have been ruined, and retreating to a safe place is the most important thing.

"Hurry up, get on the horse and prepare to retreat." Xu Da said.

Before the soldiers could run to the place where the horses were, they heard the familiar sound of the muskets, all over the place.

Chang Yuchun's team has arrived.

Who said that Zhang Shicheng's army can only defend but not attack? Chang Yuchun wanted to make an example to take the initiative to attack

Two teams of cavalry, a thousand-man team, rushed forward while setting fire guns.

Under the training of Chang Yuchun and Tang He, many soldiers made rapid progress. Some of them had mastered the key points of shooting on running horses. They skillfully rode their horses and raised their Tianque guns to shoot.

At this time, the moon is high and the clouds are light, and a layer of white light is shrouded everywhere. Within a hundred steps, the figure can be roughly seen clearly.

"Quick, array to resist." Xu Da said.

Because the opponent came too fast, most of Xu Da's soldiers had not found their horses. If they became infantry and had no formation, they would be ravaged by cavalry. Therefore, Xu Da immediately responded and asked the soldiers who did not ride on the war horse to set up their formation on the spot.

The spear was quickly raised, and they rushed the spear tip forward. The first row squatted down and the second row stood. The people behind all raised their spears through the gap between the people in front, forming a metal forest.

This is the standard phalanx for infantry to deal with cavalry. If a cavalry wants to break through this phalanx, they have to pay the price of bleeding. The spear will pierce them into each other without hesitation.

Of course, in the process, infantry will also flow into a river of blood.

Xu Da was behind the spear formation, allowing the cavalry who found the war horses to prepare quickly, launch a charge at any time, and counterattack the opponent.

"Bang, bang bang." The cavalry were very happy to see the dense square formation formed in front of them. They didn't need to aim at it now. As long as they were placed at the crowd, they would definitely hit the opponent.

They deliberately slowed down their horses and could fire up a few more rounds of bullets to let the rain of bullets kill each other.

The disciplined infantry phalanx did not move. Just next to each other.

They finally waited until the other cavalry approached, and after another twenty or thirty steps, their spears would drink their blood.

Unexpectedly, at thirty steps, the opponent slowed down, and then he saw countless things thrown over from the opponent's cavalry camp.

Because it was very dark, no one noticed the things were smoking.

"Boom, boom" flew over their heads, under their feet, and around them suddenly exploded violently.

Then, the cavalry in the front row turned their horse's head beautifully and ran back, probably wanting to turn around and attack again.

The infantry kept falling down, and Xu Da found that the situation was not good, and his people were simply here to die, and they couldn't even meet the other party.

Since the rise of firearms, the dense formations of ancient wars have lost their function. This is the reason. If there were Markine, two people could kill all these living targets.

"Cabin, charge" Xu Da knew that it was time for him to deploy all his strength, otherwise, he might have ruined all of his people here.

The five hundred cavalry gathered together rushed forward under Xu Da's command. At this moment, they were already full of anger.

I saw that the local cavalry, who had just been aggressive, suddenly turned their horses quickly and evacuated collectively?

Lu Feng and his cavalry immediately chased after them desperately and killed them

Suddenly, "Bang, Bang." The sound of muskets was still ringing, and people kept falling from the horse's back.

Under Chang Yuchun's training, the cavalry could not only be aiming and shooting skillfully on the speeding horse, but also turn around and shoot the enemies behind them while running.

When Genghis Khan's army was expeditioning Europe, he used this tactic. While running and shooting arrows back, the number of enemies chasing behind him would become less and less, like peeling potatoes, killing the opponent layer by layer.

Chang Yuchun's cavalry now also uses this tactic. This tactic can only be used by his cavalry because they have an advantage in firepower.

This is a technical job. If both parties are too far away and the other party feels that they can't catch up, they will not chase them.

If you are close to each other, you will also be attacked by the opponent's arrow rain, which will cause you a lot of casualties.

Only soldiers who use Tianque gun and skilled horse control skills can complete this work.

The King of Hell's life-long training finally achieved fruitful results on this night.

Looking at his cavalry chasing the enemy ahead, disappearing into the night, and the sound of muskets kept ringing. Although Xu Da was a little worried, he also knew that sometimes, a hero must cut off his arm.

"Hurry up and prepare for the battle." The threat was lifted, and Xu Da asked his soldiers to ride horses quickly to deal with the next battle with greater confidence.

At this moment, the dark troops of the other party appeared again in the night.
Chapter completed!
