Chapter Ninety-Five: Temptation
"Bagaya Deer...... It's the cavalry of the Ming people! ”
Seeing the cavalry that suddenly appeared, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader named Tanigawa Masaharu, the big red cloak behind this team of cavalry was so dazzling under the scorching sun, and such a look was also the most obvious sign of the Ming army.
"Everyone, hurry up and line up!"
Seeing the almost iconic red, Furukawa Masaharu did not hesitate at all and gave a loud order to prepare for battle, after all, it was a long-time battle-hardened widow, he knew very well that when the foot soldiers encountered cavalry, they should not delusionally think that two legs could run more than four legs, forming a formation may have a way to live, once escaping, there is only a dead end.
Under his orders, these widows did not have time to kill the dying women, they jumped up one by one, or drew their swords, or raised their spears, or held their longbows, and more than thirty people soon formed a long snake formation, and even two or three pioneers with swords in both hands jumped out of the ranks for more than ten steps, staring at the cavalry coming towards them, and let out a hoarse roar in their mouths.
"Pimple...... Pimple ......"
The cavalry stopped more than three hundred meters away from them, and a young man who looked like a leader at the head narrowed his eyes, looking at the row of would-be robbers in front of them, and the expression on his face was a little uncertain, as if he was hesitating about something.
A cavalryman rode forward and shouted excitedly: "Chief, there are those pirates in front, what are we waiting for?" Rush up and scatter them, and a few charges will do the trick! ”
The cavalry headed by him was none other than Yang Daniu, who commanded all the cavalry of the Jiangdong Gate Qianhu, he turned his head to look at the guy who spoke, his face showed a trace of solemnity, and he pointed to the Japanese in front of him and said: "What do you know, these thieves are not simple, now they have their backs to the riverside, so we can't use the advantage of the cavalry to break them up or circle around them, we can only choose to fight with them, but these thieves also have longbowmen, so it is very difficult to deal with." Remember, this is not our job, it's the gunners and foot soldiers! ”
After finishing speaking, looking at the disapproving look on the face of the cavalryman next to him, he sighed in his heart, "The training time is still too short, these guys still haven't been able to jump out of the thinking of foot soldiers, at best, they can only be regarded as infantry on horseback." ”
Yang Daniu's emotion is reasonable, although Yang Feng has equipped the only cavalry squad in his hand with the best equipment and purchased dozens of war horses in Nanjing City, but after a few months of training, they can only be regarded as able to ride horses at best, as for fighting the enemy on horseback or even riding and archery, such a difficult action can not be thought about without two or three years of hard training, so the biggest role of this cavalry in Yang Daniu's hands now is to act as the eyes and ears of the large army behind.
Yang Daniu naturally knew the level of this cavalry trained by him, and he had been fighting with the Manchus in Liaodong for several years, and he could see at a glance that although the Japanese in front of him were short and ragged, they were skillful in their every move, and their actions had their own murderous aura, this was definitely a group of experienced and skillful enemies. If he really wants to lead these more than a dozen rookies who have only been trained for a few months to attack the Japanese in front of him, he will not be able to do anything himself, but these dozen or so people will have to be confessed here.
Thinking of this, Yang Daniu whispered to the people behind him: "You stay where you are and don't move, wait for me to try the depth of these thieves first, if I have anything to do, you will return immediately, do you understand?" ”
"Head, this will work!"
The cavalry next to him just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yang Daniu, "This is a military order, if anyone dares to disobey it, the military law will do it!" ”
As soon as they heard that the military law was engaged, these cavalrymen immediately felt a pang in their hearts, they may not have learned the ability to fight cavalry in the past few months, but the military discipline and military orders have long been deeply rooted in their bones, once the military orders are violated, those six relatives do not recognize the suppression officers will really implement the military law.
After giving the order, Yang Daniu took out a three-eyed gun in his right hand, picked up a round shield made of stainless steel from his horse with his left hand, and as soon as he clamped his legs on the horse's back, the war horse trotted towards the Japanese in front of him.
The three-eyed gun held by Yang Daniu is a short gun specially made by Yang Feng for the cavalry, which is very different from the traditional three-eyed gun of the Ming army. The Ming army's three-eyed gun was cast from wrought iron, two meters long, weighing seven or eight kilograms, and the tail of the long handle was also equipped with a three-pointed fork head, which could be aimed like a bird with a grip. The three-pointed fork was installed at the back so that the soldiers could turn around and engage the enemy with the tail three-pointed fork after shooting, but such length and weight were not suitable for cavalry.
Yang Feng made of this three-eyed gun made of stainless steel, caliber 13 mm, 58 cm long, weighing 3.6 kg, can allow the cavalry to hold the gun in one hand, and after the shooting can be easily turned another gun tube to continue shooting, so that it can greatly strengthen the cavalry's attack power, the only drawback is that the range is nearly twice as short as the smoothbore gun used by the infantry, and the effective range against the enemy without armor is only more than 40 less than 50 meters.
"Pimple ......"
The sound of broken horses' hooves slowly became faster, and Yang Daniu rushed towards the Japanese in front of him with one horse and one horse.
Furukawa Yaqing, who was standing next to the team and commanding, saw that there was only one person from the Ming army on the opposite side, but he felt that he had been greatly insulted, although his party was all infantry, but there were more than 30 people, you rushed over alone, this is too much to look down on, his eyes were a little red, he shouted loudly, "The pikemen come forward, the archers are ready!" ”
"Whoa......
Following his order, more than a dozen pirates armed with spears ran out of the battle formation, their spears pointed diagonally at 45 degrees to the sky, and behind them stood seven or eight archers, and the remaining seven or eight wielding swords stood beside them.
Yang Daniu, who was riding a horse and charging, saw that the Japanese were able to change the formation in such a short time, and his heart sank even more, this group of Japanese soldiers was still proficient in the battle formation, it seems that this is a hard bone, but as the so-called opening the bow has no turning back, since he launched a charge, he naturally can't retreat back.
Although his mind was spinning rapidly, his movements were not slow, the distance of three hundred meters was not short, and after accelerating, he quickly rushed to a distance of one hundred meters from the Wako, which could already clearly see the appearance of the Wako on the other side.
"Ready...... Archery ......"
When he rushed to a distance of sixty or seventy meters away from the Wako, with Tanigawa Masaharu's order, seven or eight archers released the bowstrings in their hands almost simultaneously......
