Chapter Ninety-Nine: Enraged Charge

As he was thinking, he saw a ride fly out from behind, and in a few breaths he was 100 paces away from the young man who claimed to be Azig on the other side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the midst of everyone's stunned, they saw the man standing up directly on the galloping horse with his stirrup.

Only then did the company commander find out that the person who rushed out was the reconnaissance platoon commander Lakshen, and when he was still a little stunned,

Laksin had already raised the flintlock smoothbore gun in his hand, took a slight aim, and pulled the trigger the moment Azig tried to ride his horse away.

On both sides of the stone bridge, under the gaze of more than 600 refreshing eyes, the lead bullet "banged", accompanied by firelight, was shot out of the muzzle.

As one of Chen Xin's old brothers, Lakshen is not an ordinary product in his hand, he is the first to make a high-quality product, and even the projectile is a single-headed bullet with a unique shape, which can maintain a certain accuracy in 200 steps, not to mention that it is only 100 steps now.

A shining spark erupted from the barrel of the gun, and in an instant, a cloud of blood mist appeared on the shoulder of the young man opposite, and he screamed and fell off the warhorse.

The horse seemed to be frightened and rushed towards the side of the bridge, and the young man, who claimed to be Azig, with one foot still hanging in the stirrup, was dragged along screaming.

Rakshin rode over, easily grasped the reins of the startled horse, put the young man on his horse, and galloped back towards him.

At this time, the 500 cavalry on the opposite side was in an uproar, and a banner owner, one of the only eight powerful figures in the Dajin Kingdom, actually fell in front of them so easily? It's a shame.

What made these cavalrymen even more unbearable was that Azig had even been captured by the other party with his men and horses, and they now didn't even know whether people were dead or alive.

Azig's guards were full of fear at this time, the military law of the Jin State was strict, as its minions, his own masters on the battlefield were damaged, and if he was okay, he would be razed by the three clans.

Several of the guards were restless in their hearts, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and they all turned their heads to the other two nobles.

While waiting for the orders of the two lieutenants, he complained in his heart about Azig, who usually boasted that he was wearing a well-made cotton armor and could prevent birds from shooting within 20 steps, but now, 100 steps away, he was actually injured by a fire gun.

What made them curse even more was why Azig was dying, running so close, wouldn't it be good to stay in the team, why was he so uncomposed, why was he so dead.

But no matter how much they curse and lament, now the Azig people are under their noses, and they are snatched by people and horses on the other side, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, what can they do now.

Yue Tuo was also a young man, his face was flushed at this time, the person opposite was too arrogant, he really couldn't help it, his two flag masters, one and Shuo Belle, were actually stopped by more than 100 people.

The most important thing is that he was actually arrested and took away a banner owner of the Eight Banners, which is a great shame when has a flag owner ever been caught in the Jin Kingdom since the founding of the country.

Yue Tuo gave the order, "Put on your armor and prepare to rush forward, crush their heads, and rescue Azig." ”

All the staff immediately began to put on armor, the double-layer heavy armor in the front, and the cotton armor in the back, 500 people quickly prepared to complete under Yue Tuo's shout.

Tie the extra horses to one side, ride one for each person, form two columns, and under the command, these 500 people rush out together.

The bridge was narrow enough for two horsemen to pass side by side, and as soon as they stepped onto the stone bridge, several flintlock muskets began to fire in turn.

A round of shooting was completed, killing 5 people and 1 horse, creating a little obstacle for the enemy behind, but how could the cavalry who could follow the three high-ranking people of the Jin Kingdom be weak, I saw that they rode their horses one after another, easily jumped over the dead corpses, and continued to charge.

Most of the bird guns equipped by the cavalry company were captured from North Korea, and the quality was low, and the iron armor that broke one layer had to be put into twenty or thirty steps, not to mention that the front row of the enemy army on the opposite side had two layers of armor.

Seeing that the plan of himself and others would not work, if the opponent waited until he reached twenty or thirty paces before shooting, his own speed would not be able to be raised, and the cavalry charge would lose its speed, which would be a live target.

If you shoot a horse, the caliber of the bird gun is too small, and it is useless if the distance is long, after all, the vitality of the horse is much more tenacious than that of a human.

The commander of the cavalry company decided not to wait any longer and charged directly, dealing a heavy blow to the opponent's leading heavy cavalry and preventing the opponent from crossing the bridge.

The commander of the cavalry company was about to give the order to charge.

I heard a loud shout from the slope behind me, "Release the arrow"

Before he could turn his head to look, he saw that the cavalry team on the opposite side had just rushed across the stone bridge, and before he could complete the whole team, a dozen horses suddenly fell, blocking the already not wide bridge deck.

The company commander blinked twice, and more horses and personnel fell on the opposite side one after another, and it was only at this time that he heard the continuous sound of swishing breaking through the air.

Turning his head to look, it turned out that it was a member of the reconnaissance platoon who dismounted and stood on the hillside, holding a bow in his hand and shooting continuously.

Lian Chang is happy, but he didn't expect that he really has the ability to look at the inconspicuous and non-dewy detective platoon on weekdays.

Seeing that the heavy feather arrows could directly hit the horse's head within 50 steps, making the war horse fall on the spot, and after blocking the bridge, they began to stare at the enemy's face and shoot at the door, and they knew that the strength of the bow and arrow they used was strong, and the accuracy was good, beyond their imagination.

It is no wonder that the commander-in-chief has been sending the elite of the whole army to this team, and looking at the combat effectiveness represented by the 30 elites who can shoot strong bows, you can know the viciousness of the commander-in-chief's vision.

And the other party was riding on a horse, originally preparing to rush into battle, holding melee weapons in his hands, and was suddenly blocked on the bridge, and he couldn't fight back in a hurry, and several officers behind him scolded, and the cavalry who rushed behind immediately changed their weapons and began to counterattack with a riding bow.

Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy was temporarily suppressed by 30 strong bows at the bridge entrance, he couldn't rush for a while.

The company commander immediately ordered his 100 cavalry to advance and move from the flank to the river.

At a distance of 20 paces from the bridgehead, the company commander ordered two squads in batches to take turns firing at the enemy, who wore only a layer of cotton armor in the rear of the enemy troops.

The bird gun is an arquebus, and the firing steps are more cumbersome, and two rounds in 1 minute is his maximum rate of fire, so the company commander divided the people into 5 batches in order to maintain the continuity of firepower.

Everyone took the horses they had just captured as cover, and fired in turn, and when the two rounds of guns went down, there was a vacant area on the other side of the bridge, and the enemy immediately discovered the cavalry company on the flank of the opposite stone bridge, and they picked up their riding bows and fired at this side.

The cavalry company had a set of cotton armor per person, an iron helmet on his head, and a few horses with his limbs tied to him as cover, which took advantage of the counter-fire.

The opponent is riding on a horse, and he can only use a riding bow, and he can't use too heavy arrows, and he can only shoot a war horse that screams fiercely if he shoots it directly, and if he shoots it from his back, the power of the light arrow is insufficient, and it is easy to be blocked by an iron helmet.

Within a moment's time, the enemy could not hold out and began to retreat.

It was only after retreating to a distance of more than 100 paces from the river that the enemy stabilized his position and began to count the losses.

On the side of the cavalry company, there were immediately a few brave ones, who went up to search for the horses that had not been shot, and cheered every time they found one, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
