Chapter 102: What about the Detective Platoon?
Everyone immediately went up to check, two people were shot in the face and died, and the remaining four had double layers of cotton armor, no, folded and tied to the chest, it should be considered 3 layers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The remaining 4 people, protected by 3 layers of cotton armor, were just knocked down by a huge force, except for the pain of being hit, there was no damage.
The two people who took over immediately came up and picked up the smoothbore and began to clean the chamber and reload.
The other four breathed a sigh of relief, sat up immediately, and reloaded.
Then, without hesitation, again ready to shoot.
Several of the warriors were infected by this applied behavior, and picked up the Bird Gun and began to reload it as well.
Although at the current distance, the Bird Gun cannot deal much damage to enemies in double armor.
But it can be used to kill those enemies who are moving here, wearing only a layer of cotton armor, and they are not far from the armor piercing of the bird's gun.
It can even work when the double-layered heavy armor enemy starts charging and comes close.
"Within 10 steps, even if the huge strength of the bird gun can't break the armor, it can definitely knock the enemy down and make them break a few bones." The warriors, who were familiar with the characteristics of firearms, thought fiercely.
There were also a few fighters, who took off their cotton armor, picked it up with sabers and flag guns, and protected the heads of several people who shot with smoothbore guns, covering the shooting of several gunners.
The instructor looked at the soldiers who were re-motivated with satisfaction, and sighed in his heart, "What a good soldier, all of them are good guys, if all the staff are equipped with smoothbore guns, where will there be such a big casualty, after this battle, if you are lucky enough to survive, you must mention it at the military summary meeting." ”
Then he also picked up a bird gun and loaded it, put it aside, then drew his saber and looked at it carefully, and sighed again.
When the cavalry company was established, it was not expected that it would be used for this kind of positional warfare.
Moreover, the current cavalry company is still in training, and even the saber has not yet been sharpened, because it is easy to hurt one's own horse before the enemy is injured by chopping unqualified cavalry at once.
Fortunately, the tip of the knife is sharpened, and although it cannot be slashed under the horse, it is most likely to be stabbed against enemies who charge in heavy armor.
Putting the knife back in its scabbard, he took the bird gun to the front of the bunker, and peeked his head out to look at the enemy.
The stabilized cavalry company quietly poked out dozens of bird guns and aimed at the front, but it did not trigger, this was to deter the enemy, so that the more than 100 armors at close range did not dare to rush over too presumptuously.
Of course, the deterrence of the bird guns was not enough, and there were 6 flintlock smoothbore guns that were constantly firing, and the huge power of the guns and guns killed people also made those heavy armor unconsciously slowly take a few steps back, and the queue was even more dispersed.
Today the cavalry company was so lucky, they arrived ahead of schedule, occupying an absolute terrain advantage as the defender, and the narrow stone bridge saved the life of the cavalry company.
If the terrain had been a little more open, the cavalry company would have been crushed in the first round of charge.
With these advantages, the remaining fighters temporarily held the bridgehead.
However, this will not be too long, and after the second wave of enemies has rushed to 20 paces together, the more than 400 enemies who have converged together, as long as they have made up their minds, can still eliminate their own half-crippled cavalry company in a single charge.
Suddenly, the instructor felt that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the hillside behind him, where the original reconnaissance platoon was located, was empty.
No wonder in the fierce battle just now, I always felt that something was wrong, it turned out that there were less 30 strong archers.
His brows were furrowed, and the instructor's heart was full of doubts, he didn't believe that the reconnaissance platoon would run away without a fight, what was going on? I didn't even have time to say hello to my people, so I hurriedly disappeared uphill.
The reconnaissance platoon, which the instructor cared about, was galloping on horseback in the plain area five miles away from them.
Listening to the sound of muskets in the distance, which gradually thinned out, Laxin was very anxious.
However, he did not dare to be distracted, and he did not have time to care about his comrades in the cavalry company, and he now fled for his life with the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon.
Behind him were more than 800 cavalrymen in constant pursuit.
This pursuit battle came too inexplicably, coupled with the large gap in numbers, the soldiers who fled for a long time and did not dare to fight hard were holding back the fire in their stomachs.
Before, everyone was about to go to support the cavalry company in front, but when one of the soldiers looked back, he found a group of cavalry not far away.
Somehow, Lakshin was a little uneasy in his heart, so he ordered everyone to get on the horse, and then sent someone to ask, but he didn't expect the other party to ignore it, and he shot with his bow, but fortunately, the brother who went to inquire was wearing improved cotton armor and had a tight chest protection, so he was not injured.
When this arrow came, Lakshen knew that something was wrong, and the other party was likely to come to meet them.
These cavalry must not be allowed to rush over, otherwise if the cavalry company behind them is flanked by the front and rear, the whole army will be annihilated.
So Lakshin decided to lure the enemy away, and after some teasing, Lakshin shot a cavalryman who led the officer from a long distance, like a dead father, chasing Lakshin.
After chasing all the way, he gradually moved away from the position of the cavalry company, and then, Lakshin found that he could not get rid of this group of cavalry.
Although their own horsemanship is superb and their archery skills are first-class, the war horses that cannot stand the opponent are better than their own and others, after all, the horses of their own people are the Korean horses captured after the invasion of Korea, and they are comparable to the specially selected war horses used by the other side.
Gradually, Laxin realized that his own speed was slowing down and the enemy's speed was increasing.
The difference in the number of enemies and friends is too great, and hard fighting is not the way, and when I was distressed, a strong wind actually blew.
Racshen's mind couldn't help but remember some of the knowledge he had learned in the lecture hall.
A bold idea suddenly came to mind.
Feeling the wind speed and direction for a moment, Lakshin shouted, "Follow me, pay attention to the direction, and I'll take you to clean up the pursuers behind you." ”
Rakshin and his warriors tried to duck as low as they could on their horses, trying to dodge the arrows fired by the enemy, and occasionally the warriors who were shot in the body did not care if they did not hit the exposed area.
The improved cotton armor made by the army itself, with a whole piece of steel plate inserted in the front and back, although the output is low, but as one of the first elite teams to become an army, the reconnaissance platoon is still the first to equip all members.
The excellent armor gave the warriors a strong sense of self-confidence, allowing them to control the horses with peace of mind and constantly adjust their direction during the escape.
The wind swept across the soldiers' cheeks, and it hurt like a knife, but no one paid attention to it, and they were all concentrating on controlling the direction.
