769 Your Uncle or Your Uncle 3
Compared to the infantry, the cavalry held out longer. The first to cross the river and attack were the Diviners, who had no armor at all, let alone steel crossbows, and most of the riders did not even have a saddle, the only thing they had was their trust in the Immortal Heaven and the iron bones in their hands.
It's a pity that Changshengtian is in the desert steppe in the north, and it is afraid of heat and does not come. The rider who lost his protection was first pulled off the horse's back by the blast and shrapnel, but there were not too many horses running away, not because the horse was not afraid of the explosion, but because the rider had blocked the horse's ears in advance.
But what happened next was unbearable, and before the charge was enough, the riders and horses fell in rows, and a large hole in their bodies appeared out of thin air with bright red blood, and it seemed that they must be hopeless.
The enemy is a mile away, who is poisoning the people of the Immortal Heaven? Nobody knows. There is no way, I can only no longer pity the horsepower to sprint in advance.
But more than a hundred paces in front of the enemy, there seems to be an invisible wall, and whoever touches it is unlucky, and even flies backwards in the air, and then spills a mist of blood.
Not only was there an invisible wall in front of them, but the new army on the west side of the river bank suddenly turned en masse, each with a stick in his hand pointing at this side, and as soon as the stick smoked, a group of men and horses fell here, and after a few breaths, smoke came out, and a large area fell.
This battle is still a fart, and the diviner is immediately anxious. The party members are so bad, they trick themselves into fighting the ghosts! Although the party cavalry was also killed by the stick casting, don't drag us along if you want to die.
The divination people respect the dead soul the most, if it doesn't work, run away, run back to the place where the immortal heaven can bless, and quickly drive away the evil ghosts on the body.
What? Don't let you run yet, I'll you, give you a hammer to see if you let you go. The Son of Immortal Heaven is not your slave, he obeys your orders!
After the defeat of the Western Xia infantry, the cavalry also followed suit. The rear wanted to charge and the front wanted to retreat, and every few breaths in the front would fly a fatal thing, and the new troops on the west side of the river bank were even more ruthless, they simply lay on the bank and shot at the flanks of the cavalry at close range from a distance of 100 meters.
You don't have to aim too much, as long as you shoot at least one of them. The front ran over and there was still in the back, and this row didn't catch up with the next row and immediately made up for it. And the cavalry had to deal with more than 3,000 rifles, which had to be doubled, plus twenty field guns.
"Seventh, seventh, don't be stupid to patronize the cavalry, capture the thief and capture the king first. Can you see if the people over there can hit it? I asked the lookout, there were two very large carriages over there, which did not look like they were used to pull goods, and they were the enemy's generals. ”
Hong Tao also found a sniper rifle and fired two shots at the cavalry from a distance, but he didn't know if he hit it, anyway, his shoulder was numb. The recoil is too great, how much medicine does this have to be loaded. As soon as he remembered that every shot fired and every shot fired was money, his heart twitched.
Thousands of guns, dozens of cannons, don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If this kind of war happens a few more times, he will have to go back to his pre-liberation period in poverty, and all the accumulation of several years will turn into smoke.
But how can you end the battle quickly? It depends on Wang Qi. As soon as the two armies met each other, Hong Tao kept touching with the binoculars, trying to find the enemy's commander.
It is said that they are used to standing near the big banner or the big beetle, but the Tangut people also learned badly with themselves, and they didn't even want a big flag and a big beetle, and they didn't even want their faces!
As the saying goes, if there is nothing difficult in the world, you are afraid of people with a heart, when the opponent's infantry and cavalry are deployed, the Chinese army is immediately exposed, and there is a lookout to help, or Hong Tao found the clues.
Even if the distance is too far to determine whether it is the enemy's senior general, Hong Tao feels that there should be three shots with dates or not. If you run into it, you will make a lot of money, but if you can't touch it...... If you can't do it, you have to do it, at most a few shells will be wasted.
“…… I'm afraid it's going to be four miles away! Come on, load one and a half times the propellant pack, and rise to a ten-degree angle! Wang Qi raised the telescope and looked at it carefully, picked up his homemade rangefinder and made a few strokes, squatted on the ground and used his fingers as a pen to calculate, and gave the answer: the distance is beyond the effective range, but you can try.
"Old Seven, will it explode with so much medicine?" Hearing Wang Qi's shooting plan, Hong Tao immediately retreated, and artillery was more expensive than bullets and shells.
They are not ordinary artillerymen, but naval artillery on armed cargo ships. It is not easy to train a qualified naval sailor, and it is even more difficult for naval artillery, which is all piled up with the number of shots, and it hurts to lose one.
"Daddy, don't worry, the child has tried it on Yao Liu Shazhou, this kind of cannon is no problem with twice the dosage, Lord Huang is too cautious! But be careful, you guys stretch the gun rope behind cover and pull it on your stomach! ”
Wang Qi followed Hong Tao's character in terms of prudence, and was willing to provide as much safety as possible even if he knew that there was no danger. So the five gunners pulled the rope and hid behind the bunker, and only after Wang Qi checked the direction of the muzzle and the high and low firing boundaries one by one, and cleared the artillery positions, did they pull the rope in their hands together.
This loud bang almost didn't shake out Hong Tao's lunch, and the five gun carriages were pushed to cover by the strong recoil, and they still couldn't completely offset the recoil when they hit the brakes, and they had to jump up, and the sound of wood breaking could be heard, and it was estimated that the wheels of the gun trucks would have to be replaced after the battle.
"Second hit...... The two cars were still there, and the lookout said they looked like the six-wheeled carriages of Volkswagen. Wang Qi kept looking up at the lookout hand on the hot air balloon, and quickly conveyed the flag to Hong Tao, who was trying to hold back the vomiting feeling with his head down.
"Oops...... This broken body is really a carrot, and it's all chaff! What Volkswagen car dealership is not Volkswagen car dealership, hurry up and have another round, it doesn't matter if you can beat it or not, what should you do, go to see your uncle for your father, he is even less timid. ”
Originally, Hong Tao thought that he was not afraid of the sound of cannons, indeed, he was not afraid mentally, but his body was not strong, and the reaction was so big when he got closer. In order not to spit out in front of the child, he couldn't even wait to inquire about the results of the battle, and trotted away.
What does it mean to be crooked? Hong Tao's sudden two volleys, ten shells solved the big problem.
In fact, it didn't take ten rounds, and the two shells hit in the first round sent the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and the emperor Li Qianshun to the west of the sky, and also killed and injured more than a dozen Western Xia generals and ministers around them, and basically the senior officials who followed the queen mother and the emperor on the expedition were all stewed with a spoonful.
The second round of shells came, that is, to make up for the ones that were not yet dead, so that they could go a little more happily, avoid some of the pain of flesh and skin, and by the way, blow up the emperor's six-wheeled luxury carriage imported from the Great Song Dynasty.
Seeing this scene, the remaining more than 40,000 Western Xia troops didn't even care about saving the wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and they didn't bother to take care of the more than 20,000 cavalry on the other side of the river, and simply wrapped the corpses of the queen mother, emperor, and ministers and generals, turned around as quickly as possible, threw away all drags, and stepped on the billowing smoke and dust...... Run!
They don't know when a thunderstorm will fall from the sky, whose life is not fate. Instead of dying in a foreign country so inexplicably, it is better to hurry home and take care of the cattle and sheep. What gold, silver, treasure, land slaves, we don't want it.
When I came, the old man in the family mentioned it more than once, that the seven-star king was not easy to mess with, but it turned out that Nima was really not easy to mess with, and if he didn't listen to the old man, he would suffer a loss in front of him!
This is a battle that is destined to have no suspense from the beginning, if you count from the front-loading arquebus smoothbore guns, the rear-loading rifled guns used by the new army are already the third or fourth generation of firearms, and the technical level is straight to the nineteenth century, and it has to be in the middle and late periods.
This army can be regarded as elite on any side during the American Civil War, and even during the Eight-Nation Alliance, it can fight against it, except for the lack of machine guns and barrel artillery.
At that time, the Qing army, which already had guns, was not swept away, and these more than 100,000 Western Xia soldiers had never even seen what a musket was, and it was already very strong to be able to fight at this point. It is not a question of training and the quality of soldiers, but of the crushing of science and technology.
