Chapter 425: Chaotic Battle

"Uncasing, loading, aiming!" There was no need for the officers and non-commissioned officers around them to give orders, and the soldiers who had just fired once had already completed a move to pull the sleeve like a cloud and re-aimed at the enemy position in front of them.

"Aim, put!"

The cavalry battalion commander took out his flintlock revolver and issued the order in a still very calm tone, but the speed of speech was indeed a little faster than before.

In his roar, the soldiers of the third row fired another volley, and the Houjin cavalry, who was still charging rapidly in front of him, was once again knocked down by more than a dozen war horses, and the array was chaotic again.

In a team with strict military discipline, after fighting for a long time, it is easy to develop inertia and become less concerned about life and death.

The post-Jin army, and even any country in this era, the military law at this time was extremely barbaric and cruel.

In addition, the Houjin Army's supervising team system has formed a set of habits of fighting at the first level.

Therefore, even though more than 20 horses had fallen, the other cavalry continued to charge.

"Aim, put!"

It was already the third round of firing, the situation had not changed in the slightest, and the enemy was still on the storm.

Seeing the enemy rushing closer and closer, the cavalry battalion commander did not dare to stay in the middle passage any longer, and hid in the queue of the rear spy platoon with a dodge.

Of course, while he was covering, he did not forget his duty and continued to issue orders "Front row, refuse horses!" ”

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, who had already loaded their bayonets and were ready to meet the enemy, obeyed the order and knelt down on one knee in unison, pointing diagonally forward with their rifles with bayonets.

The soldiers of the second platoon, also half-kneeling on the ground, raised their rifles with bayonets attached, and at the same time, they were ready to shoot, and the whole army immediately defended like a hedgehog in danger.

The Houjin forward cavalry roared and rushed over, but the Huaxia firearms team in front of them did not collapse and flee as they expected.

On the contrary, such a bayonet formation was placed under the charge of their large cavalry, which was completely unexpected by them.

They didn't know at all that the Huaxia army in front of them was fundamentally different from the Ming army they had encountered before.

Strict military training, in-depth political study, and the self-confidence cultivated by countless victories since the founding of the army made the psychological endurance of the soldiers of the Chinese army far exceed that of most feudal armies in this era.

Now, the Houjin army, facing the bright bayonet dense formation, is also a little numb.

It was for this moment that the shiny bayonet without any matte treatment was deeply irritated to the eyes of the war horses.

Horses are extremely sensitive, intelligent creatures, and no matter how they are trained, they cannot go straight to death.

So, at this moment, these nimble horses, ignoring the control of their masters on horseback, bypassed the position of the bayonet formation, and ran to the rear or flank.

Even, some of the cowardly horses stopped in front of the bayonet formation, twisted their horses' heads and tried to make a temporary U-turn.

The Later Jin Army likes to use heavy weapons such as maces and iron bones, and does not like to use spears and riding spears.

Therefore, the Houjin soldiers who stopped on the back of their war horses outside the bayonets could not reach the Huaxia soldiers in front of them with weapons in their hands.

At this embarrassing moment, the soldiers of the special service platoon and the reconnaissance battalion would not let go, and the soldiers of the second row of the special service platoon, who had been waiting for a long time with their rifles, let out a violent roar from the muzzle of the guns.

The Houjin army, which stopped there one by one, was beaten down like a bird.

The smoke of gunpowder at close range made the enemy's war horses even more panicked, and there were scattered horses running everywhere, and there were even corpses of soldiers of the Houjin Army hanging in the stirrups of many war horses.

Of course, the Houjin army is not vegetarian, they are not sheep, and some Houjin soldiers, in a hurry, casually threw out the heavy weapons in their hands.

Maces, iron bones, iron maces, big sticks, knife sticks, and a series of heavy weapons were thrown into the array of the Huaxia Army, and several soldiers of the spy platoon were knocked over condescendingly.

After all, those who can be war horses are all selected horses, and those who stay in front of the bayonet position are still a few, and most of the Houjin army is carried by horses, bypassing the array of the spy platoon from the side all the way.

After being chased by the muskets of the soldiers of the third platoon, some of the soldiers rushed to the position behind the platoon.

Here they found a part of the war horses left behind by the previous river crossing troops.

At this moment, the Houjin army was excited, they had been beaten for so long, and they could finally vent, so they cheered and roared, rushed into the herd, and cut the reins of those horses with their hands.

From time to time, he also chopped down the horses that were still very calm, forcing the horses to blow up their nests and flee in all directions.

The troops who crossed the river before are now lined up with the spy platoon to meet the enemy, and there is no combat force left here.

So, as these post-gold tartars wished, the battlefield was full of horses running and jumping and neighing indiscriminately, and the whole rear was in chaos.

Fortunately, when the special service platoon was fighting with the Houjin forward cavalry, the mounted infantry battalion already had a company of flintlock muskemen ashore.

Fortunately, the flintlock company of the cavalry battalion that had just come ashore did not ride horses, but crossed the river on foot, so at this moment, there were less than 100 horses tied to the back of the special platoon.

However, when the war horse gallops wildly, it is no different from a mad cow, and normal people will never go to the crazy horse hard steel anyway.

Therefore, even if such a small number of horses were running around, the soldiers of this infantry company could only adopt a local defense strategy to avoid being scattered and injured by the horses.

The flintlock musketeers of the entire infantry company took turns firing all the time, constantly attacking the Houjin cavalry who were cruising nearby, waiting for the opportunity to charge.

In the midst of the chaos, the cavalry battalion commander turned over his horse, stood up on the stirrups, and looked high at the surrounding scene.

In addition to the scattered cavalry of the Houjin, which was scattered and constantly harassed in the rear and around the periphery, the large force of the Houjin forward cavalry had once again gathered and engaged a cavalry company that had just crossed the river.

The dense cavalry formation of the Chinese cavalry, the second time it encountered the enemy, and it was still extremely fierce.

Although the time to meet the enemy was very hasty, and there was no advantage in numbers, the cavalry company on his side was still on par with the Houjin Tartars.

However, because the two sides were fighting in a small area, the environment limited the speed, and some of the battlefield fell into a melee.

"What a mess!"
