Chapter 773: Repaying the Favor with Your Body
Although it was not difficult to collect 5,000 Tatar cavalry regiments with separate regiments and Tatar cavalry regiments, Humang made the decision to defeat the enemy with muskets. He quoted Yang Chendong as saying, "Even if you can pay a smaller price, then there is no need for the soldiers to suffer desperately." ”
For this decision, Su He, Xin Honghai and others naturally agreed, but they were not without worries, for example, the effective distance of the Bayi bar is about 800 meters, and the best shooting distance is before 200 meters to 600 meters. After all, the morale of one side is like a rainbow, and the other side wants to stand still, which is a very test of people's hearts, and if one is not good, the morale of the army may collapse, if that is the case, the other party will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the result will be unimaginable.
Hu Mang just smiled at this worry and said, "You have to have faith in the warriors below us, why is this not a test?" If they can't stand even this little test, then they don't deserve to be a member of the mercenaries, and they can't be an elite division. ”
Under Hu Mang's insistence, the final decision was made. Now seeing the enemy rushing closer and closer, whether it was Su He, Xin Honghai and the others, there was a trace of worry on their faces. They even observed the reactions and emotions of the surrounding soldiers more than once, for fear that some people would be frightened by this momentum and make a move to turn around and flee.
The enemy is full of all his strength, and the murderous aura is rushing in his face, but he has to wait in place, which is indeed a test. Especially when the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the neighing of the war horses was heard more and more clearly, many soldiers who were waiting in place showed anxious looks on their faces, and even the war horses under the seat began to snort a little uneasily, and walked around in place with their hooves lightly. Maybe these war horses are reminding their owners that we should also be impacted?
The anxiety can be seen on everyone's face, some soldiers who are not very good in psychological quality, their faces are a little pale, but fortunately, there is not a single deserter. Although the iron cavalry on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and the pressure was increasing, most of them were still staring ahead, and they did not even draw their sabers and hold them in their hands without even giving orders.
Hu Mang was also always paying attention to the reaction of the army, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that although the faces of the soldiers had changed, the formation was still stable. It is said that the battlefield is the best place to test and train a soldier, and it seems that this is indeed the case.
Of course, Hu Mang is still very measured, and he knows the truth that is especially inferior. Seeing that the pressure of the fighters had reached a peak, he finally gave the order, "Everyone listen to the order and draw the sword." ”
As soon as he drank these words, the trumpeter beside him immediately blew out a very short military horn sound. This is also a characteristic of mercenaries, who in most cases replace the traditional command flag with a loud trumpet. Compared with the order flag that has to be watched closely, the sound of the military horn is more clear to the ear, allowing people to make correct judgments and actions at the first time.
"Huh!" The sound of drawing swords in unison came out, and thousands of cavalry made the same action in unison, which felt very imposing. Just this one action instantly lifted the originally low soldier. At this moment, the Tatar iron cavalry on the opposite side had come to a distance of eight hundred meters, and was still flying forward.
Amu Gulang, who rushed in the team, was red and a little excited at this time.
originally thought that he would definitely lose this battle if his troops were inferior. In fact, this time he also came with the mentality of seeing death as home, the difference is just to see how many opponents he can kill in the end. But I never thought that the mercenaries would be so big and let themselves lead the army closer step by step, didn't the other party's commander and general know that if the cavalry wants to give full play to their strength, it needs to be constantly impacted, constantly accelerated, and rely on the advantage of speed to enhance the power of the sword?
The idiocy who secretly cursed the enemy generals in his heart, and Amu Guro, who was getting more and more excited in his heart, saw the hope of victory. He believed that as long as he was allowed to rush, once he entered the mercenary camp at high speed, at that time, even if the other party had a musket, he would not be able to help himself at all. Maybe he will really become the first steppe army to defeat mercenaries.
Amkuro was overjoyed, and the cavalry that followed him was also excited, and they swung their horses with all their might, increasing their speed to the highest speed, in order to rush into the mercenary camp that had not yet been prepared, and then inflict heavy damage on them to achieve the final victory.
The speed increased to the extreme, and the distance of two hundred meters was just a moment, and when the distance between the two front armies reached six hundred meters, Hu Mang's eyes were also condensed, and he gave the military order to shoot loudly.
The sound of the firing bugle was heard, once again breaking the silence of the battlefield. The soldiers of the six battalions of the independent regiment holding the Bayi bar rode on their horses one by one, holding their guns, and had already adjusted their breathing, and even aimed at their right index fingers.
Horn Horn Horn Horn...
The guns rang out, and the golden bullets flew out towards the Tatar horsemen who were speeding towards them, and the two sides collided together in their respective paths, attracting flowers and blood.
Bullets entered the human body, and under the strong force, some bullets would directly sink into the human body and destroy the tissues, while others simply rushed out and poured into the second cavalry behind them, causing continuous damage.
The sudden sound of gunfire had already made Amu Gulang's heart scream. But he didn't know much about the new repeating musket, and thought that the mercenaries on the opposite side were like the Ming Dynasty's Shenji Battalion, and the muskets could only hit about a hundred meters away, and the other party was shooting now, just to create a momentum and bring huge pressure to his soldiers' psychology.
It was precisely because he didn't care about it in his heart that when he heard the gunshots, Amu Gulang immediately shouted to the cavalry around him: "Don't panic, everyone, their muskets can't shoot so far, but it's just to scare... Belch! ”
Before he finished speaking, or only halfway through the words, the scene in front of him had already shocked Amu Gulang, and he actually found that many of his soldiers fell from their horses at this moment, and some people did not fall from their horses, but there was already blood on their bodies, and it was flowing more and more, and finally they lay on the horse and did not know whether they fainted due to excessive blood loss, or died of blood loss.
"Fire!"
Seeing the meritorious service of the musket, the wave of enemies who rushed to the front from afar was suffering countless casualties, and Hu Mang's heart was relieved. At this time, if he leads the army to counterattack, he will already have a chance to win, but even if there is still artillery in his hand that is not used, of course he must make good use of it, the sixth young master has said that waste is an extremely shameful thing.
The new military order was issued, the loud sound of the military horn sounded again, and the two 100-millimeter sniper guns that could hit thousands of meters away were immediately reloaded, and after two seconds, they flew out of the barrel and fell towards the coordinates that had been adjusted long ago.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Two deafening, even eardrum-bursting sounds, were falling in the central part of the Tartar Iron Horse. Without the slightest defense, the cavalry in that area was bombarded with people on their backs, and they were dizzy. Especially in the place where the cannonballs landed, several unlucky cavalrymen came with no bones left, as if they had suddenly disappeared between heaven and earth.
If the sound of gunfire was just an appetizer that greatly blocked the forward momentum of the Tatar cavalry, then the sudden artillery fire that followed was like a hammer, slamming heavily on people's hearts, causing an unprecedented panic among everyone.
"Blow the trumpet, charge." Seeing that the opponent's formation was chaotic, and even a lot of cavalry were circling in place, and they didn't know where they would be safe, like a headless fly, Hu Mang knew that the opportunity to launch a charge came out, and immediately shouted loudly, and when the loud charge horn sounded in front of this wide land, countless mercenary cavalry launched a charge forward, they shouted loudly, shouted, released the unhappiness in their hearts just now, waved their sabers, and rushed straight towards the Tatar cavalry formation that had been out of formation.
In the rear of the Tatar cavalry, as the direction of the attack of the two guns extended, two shells fell here, making the cavalrymen who walked last, thinking that they were the safest, feel threatened. The two artillery shots caused at least nearly 100 casualties.
When had the Tatar cavalry seen such a powerful weapon, they scattered and fled, not daring to gather together and advance slowly, as they had just done.
The rear army is in chaos, and the Chinese army is also in chaos, so bad signs begin to spread to the whole field, and not to say what evil consequences their chaos will cause, only to say that without the support of the rear army of the Chinese army, the former army's Amu Gulang seems to have become a lone army at this moment, looking at the cavalry less than five hundred around him, looking at the countless mercenary cavalry surging from the opposite peak, he is like a fugitive who has walked into a dead end, and there is no way to go to heaven.
"General, what should I do?" Seeing that the Chinese army had lost contact with the front army, a personal soldier guarding Amugulang's side asked eagerly.
Amu Gulang's face showed a look of determination at this moment, he gritted his teeth, and made the last decision in his life, "Kill, kill with me, fight with them." ”
At this time, Amu Gulang made the decision to repay the favor by his body, and with the care he had taken care of him without sweating in the past, he could not choose to surrender to the mercenaries like everyone else. That is the case, there is only one way to fight to the death.
