Chapter Twenty-Three: The Enemy Dare to Sacrifice

The eye of the Attached Horse was keen, and the Liuqiu Guards at that time were indeed afraid of continuous attacks, especially continuous attacks without fear of death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Their four-wheeled/cart formation was indeed effective in blocking the enemy's onslaught, but their own attack power was also hindered.

Unable to line up in a battle line, they could only shoot outside from the gap between ten four-wheeled/large wagons.

In particular, the other party took turns to impact in three batches, which Captain Bao Wei did not expect!

There were hills on all sides of the place, and they had considered that this terrain would prevent the opposing cavalry from attacking their rear in a roundabout way, so they were confident beforehand.

But they did not expect that the enemy would take turns to attack, and so bravely!

The enemy is also not afraid of death------

Their artillery and muskets worked, but they could not attack in quick succession...... Captain Bowie saw the situation on the entire battlefield very clearly.

The neighing of horses.

The roar of man

Muskets sounded.

The sound of artillery.

The sound of bowstrings.

Flooding the skies over the entire battlefield-------

When the heavy cavalry charged at the end, their impact was staggering...... At least five hundred heavily armored cavalrymen opened a hole in their line like an iron hammer, and they almost smashed a four-wheeled chariot with their lives!

There is a hole in their front, and it is good for both sides!

Heavy cavalry can break through the line, they will face the infantry directly!

The hussars behind them can also follow in a row!

This opening is also good for the members of the Temporate Guards, who can concentrate their shots...... At this time, the so-called heavy armored cavalry was generally covered with leather armor and iron armor on the outside, and even the war horses were protected by war armor.

In the era of arrows and crossbows, they were mobile fortresses, and if they were only against the infantry, even the infantry armor of the Great Song Dynasty could not resist them.

However, they did not encounter an army from the era of crossbows...... When they just opened this opening, their speed couldn't help but slow, and they were about to start slaughtering the infantry, only to see the infantry dozens of paces away, lined up in a neat line, raising the iron rods in their hands at them...... It's not an iron rod, it's a weapon that smokes and fires and kills!

Just as they were about to speed up to make way for the light cavalry following behind, they heard the shouts of "Waste" and "Waste"!

A neat burst of gunfire rang out from the opposite side, and it continued to ...... The so-called heavy armored cavalry felt severe pain on their bodies, and the iron armor couldn't stop it?!

They fell like iron buckets and became an obstacle for their teammates who followed behind...... The cavalry had lost their speed, they became targets for their guns!

When he just opened a hole, he was overjoyed in his heart, this was won, he didn't feel distressed at all about the Han cavalry that he had lost before, such cavalry was not cowardly Xue Jun, he could recruit again at any time.

Of course, with his identity, he can't command the real cowardly Xue army.

The Xue Army, which was an army formed by the great leader Genghis Khan himself.

The Cowardly Xue Army is now mainly composed of nobles, generals and other meritorious children, and every ordinary Cowardly Xue Army soldier has the salary and rank of an ordinary general, and their commanders are the "Four Heroes": Mu Huali, Chi Lao Wen, Bolhu, and Bolshu, so they were also named "Four Cowardly Xue".

The cowardly Xue army has strict discipline, and at the same time enjoys extraordinary privileges, the status of an ordinary cowardly Xue soldier is even higher than that of a thousand household officials, in fact, it is not under the control of anyone, it is directly under Genghis Khan.

If you want to command them, the level of the attached horse is simply not enough.

However, he immediately painfully discovered that this opening with human life was useless!

Seeing that the cavalry had reduced their speed one by one because of the obstacles on the ground, and they couldn't shoot a few arrows at all, and they couldn't even throw javelins------ he judged that even if the cavalry of the Cowardly Xue Army was here, they couldn't attack it.

He ordered the army to retreat, and then retreated with his own retinue.

In fact, the Tatars were the best at escaping, and their bravery was only shown in their complete superiority.

The unique cultural background of the savannah allows them to learn everything like animals!

Captain Bowie watched them retreat, and in a few sentry moments, they sprang their horses away.

Pursuit? No------ the enemy taught them a lesson, human life is not valuable, and the enemy dares to sacrifice.

In this battle, they killed more than 1,000 cavalry of the other side, and they themselves lost nearly 500 people, and this was still in the case of positional warfare------

Captain Bao Wei immediately ordered the wounded and dead team members and the spoils of war to be sent back to Laizhou City, and they were given nearly 300 uninjured horses.

Dead horses, directly skinned on the spot, boiled horse meat and ate it, not in a hurry to pursue, they just want to squeeze.

Captain Bowie and his companions were in a bad mood, they were so well prepared, and they could still suffer such heavy casualties.

Captain Xiao Xiang suddenly said something and said, "If only our island master's weapons could be brought!" ”

Everyone laughed silently, it was the island owner's magic weapon, how could they take out the Liuqiu Island?!

Captain Zhang Depei said: "Sooner or later, one day, the owner of Zhang Island will build it for us, not to mention that the master of the Wang family will also come back to help him." ”

This will definitely be done, everyone is convinced.

If they had a weapon that could fire continuously, no matter how many of those cavalrymen were!

Everyone was a little sad, and they gathered in the military tent, discussing the gains and losses of this battle with some sadness.

But outside the military tent, their team members were very happy!

They defeated not only an army of 30,000, but also 3,000 cavalry!

One cavalry is worth ten infantrymen------ otherwise, no one will raise cavalry!

As for the loss of his own people, it was really nothing------- everyone was still happy to have horse meat to eat, and a feeling of confidence and pride began to spread in the camp.

The mercenaries were the most casualties this time, but they were also happy, as long as they survived such a battle, they would definitely be rewarded, and it was the right way to earn more money.

The people who were even happier for them were the people of the city of Laizhou.

The loot that was brought back said it all, they defeated their opponents, which meant that they would most likely be able to return to their hometown soon, where they had a good life and income, but not their own after all.

His house and property are still there.

The exiles said that once they had fought this battle, they would no longer be asked to relocate-------

But there are still people who are reluctant to be here, after all, money is moving.

In addition to being happy, they still have some entanglements.

The attached horse suddenly stabbed out but sulked in the military tent, and reported that the pirates had set up camp in the same place, and they did not return to the city in victory, nor did they take the opportunity to pursue and kill, which made many of his followers useless.

He had never seen an army with such a fighting style, nor had he seen such a strange weapon, how could this battle be fought again?! (To be continued.) )
