The formation of eighty chariots was much more terrifying than that of hundreds of cavalry, and the distance of two or three hundred paces rushed straight over, if it could not be stopped, such a weak line of the Xia army would collapse in an instant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Yue stood on the cart, feeling the bumps of the wooden chariot, looking at the soldiers of the Xia army and the banner of Chen Jian, who could be seen slightly, and ordered the drum to be beaten.

In order to boost morale and prove his bravery, Su Yue must follow the chariot to attack. Now that all the troops that can be mobilized are pressed, it makes no sense for him to stay behind the formation and command.

The victory or defeat is only in this one impact, a one-shot impact.

The neighing of war horses and the rolling of wheels were faced by the soldiers of the Xia Army during the drill, but at that time the soldiers knew that their own chariots would not run over them, but they also knew the consequences of being run over by chariots.

There was an accident during training, and the horse did not control it and rushed straight into the military formation. At that time, a few people were knocked into the air, and several people were seriously injured by the car hub.

The opposing chariot was not yet fully fast, and the foot soldiers behind followed the chariot closely, and when it was close enough to attack, the chariot began to accelerate.

The crazy war horse galloped at high speed, and the archers on the chariot immediately drew their feather arrows on the bumpy ground, waiting for the chariot to shoot the feathered arrows when it approached thirty or fifty paces, leaving a gap in the Xia army's military formation before the chariot could hit.

The company commander of the Xia army shouted loudly, asking the soldiers in the front row to stick their spears diagonally into the ground and constantly tighten the formation.

The arquebusier's hands trembled with the vibration of the impact of the chariot, and the beads of sweat on his face rolled into his eyes as the chariot got closer and closer, but he did not dare to wipe it with his hands, but kept turning his head and shrugging his shoulders, trying to wipe away the hot sweat with his shoulders.

Once the impact was on, it was only a matter of moments when they came to the side, and the company commanders of each company held their breath and waited for orders.

Jian Chen was also breathing heavily, trying to calm his mind down.

The pressure of the approaching chariot is like a thousand pounds, and the chest is like a boulder falling, and it is difficult to even breathe.

When the chariot was still more than eighty steps away from the Xia army, there were already feathered arrows falling beside the soldiers of the Xia army, and the people on it were all good at drawing bows all year round, and the shooting was very accurate, even if the bumps still had a three-percent hit rate, seven or eight soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the soldiers behind immediately filled the position in front.

Jian Chen took the whistle in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks, and after the chariot slammed forward for more than a dozen steps, the air flow that had been in his mouth for a long time finally burst out.

Whining......

At the same time as the whistle sounded, the shouts of fire rang out throughout the Xia army's formation.

The arquebusiers and artillerymen quickly hooked the arquebuses and lit the fuses, and the spearmen half-crouched on the ground in the front row, stepped on the shafts of their spears with their feet, and gritted their teeth.

Rumble......

Like a child knocking on the fence in the courtyard, uneven but almost instantaneous, Jian Chen only had a white mist in front of him, and all kinds of screams in his ears......

Su Yue on the chariot saw the sudden fire in the Xia army's formation, and then he felt his body fly forward and fall heavily to the ground.

By the time he looked up, the flames had dissipated, and as far as the eye could see, there were fallen horses and broken chariots everywhere.

Only two of the eighty chariots rushed into the Xia army's spear formation, but they did not break through the defense, but knocked down three rows of Xia soldiers, and they were surrounded by the Xia infantry rushing around.

More than seventy chariots were hit at close range by nearly six hundred muskets and a dozen small cannons, which was a power that Su Yue had never imagined, far superior to the force of a salvo of bows and arrows.

To his left, a horse was apparently hit directly by a cannon, and a pound of iron pellets directly shattered the horse's skull, and the chariot was also swept by the iron pellets and scattered to the ground.

A few horses that were not dead ran away with the deserted chariot, unwilling to smell the smell of gunpowder from the Xia army, nor willing to face the shiny spear.

Those warriors of all races wearing iron armor were either killed or wounded, and occasionally a few got up and turned around and ran, and the firepower output at this moment was too shocking and too bloody, and it was not at all the level shown by the Xia army muskets on the left flank.

It was like a sudden natural disaster, the wails of the wounded, the blood of the dead, lightning and thunder.

Su Yue tried to get up, but found that his ribs had been broken, and his left arm had also been hit by a buckshot, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

There was also a relative from a nearby city lying beside him, and the expensive iron armor he bought from the Xia Kingdom on his body did not resist the cheap lead pellets at all, and his body was completely torn, and he was hit by six lead bullets and one iron pellet, and his upper body was basically not intact.

Su Yue struggled, feeling that he shouldn't die like this, at least he should be like the two Xia cavalry who were not afraid of death before, after all, he was the leader and had his own glory.

The pain was severe all over his body, and every breath after his rib fracture was worse than death, and only one thought flashed through his mind: "It's over...... It's all over! ”

Everything in front of him became blood-red and dim, and the wound on his left arm seemed to be no longer painful, and it seemed so painful that he couldn't feel it.

It doesn't matter, the only thing he wants to do is to stand up, at least not to die so badly, at least to stumble into the Xia army's military formation, be recognized by the Xia army's soldiers and shout to capture a leader, at least you can see Ji Xia's distorted and excited face after discovering that he was captured.

But no.

He only heard the officers of the Xia army in front shouting: "Infantry charge!" ”

Then he heard the sound of neat footsteps, and then he was trampled by several pairs of unrecognizable feet, and the soldier did not stop when he stepped over, but he was disgusted that he was blocking the way, and kicked hard......

The moment he was stepped on by that unknown foot, Su Yue felt that the Xia State soldier who stepped on him did not feel that his feet were a person of noble blood, but more like a disgusting piece of dog shit numbly, just stepped on, not even cheered, only the sound of suppressed footsteps.

At the last moment of his life, he hoped that he would be able to turn over, even if he could not die standing up, at least he did not want the feet of these people who might be slaves to step on his face, but he could no longer support it when he turned over halfway.

At least I died in the charge, he thought, and I was only thirty paces away from becoming the true leader of the Great River Tribes.

And then died like that.

Yes, there are only thirty steps, only thirty steps away, and these thirty steps cannot be surpassed at all.

This salvo of thirty paces or so was terrifying, and something they had never experienced before.

More than 600 young men of noble blood killed Su Yue, the leaders of five cities, the next leaders of fourteen cities, and the noble warriors of more than twenty cities with a single salvo.

The foot soldiers behind them had never imagined such a terrifying sight of heavenly punishment, and the shouting and fighting stopped abruptly, and the entire battlefield was briefly silent after that volley.

When the smoke cleared, Jian Chen looked at the results of this salvo, jumped on his horse excitedly, and shouted an infantry charge.

The excited, infantrymen, at the shouts of the company commander, raised their spears, no longer following the beat of the drums and flutes, and rushed forward with the quickest and most orderly pace they could ever get out of the wagons and corpses.

Chen Jian rode around the rear of his own line a few times and shouted, "Musketeers continue to reload!" Thunder Fire Guard pulled up the bronze cannon and supported the left flank! Fast! Fast! Keep all the heralds up to the attacking infantry and keep attacking! Tell them that the leader on the other side is gone, they can't hold on! ”

…………

The right flank of the Xia army, when the chariot attacked, also used a completely different way to achieve victory.

When Chen Jian had ordered the right flank infantry to move forward, the left flank of Su Yue's army also launched an assault, and in order to hold back the right flank of the Xia army, it was not allowed to support the Chinese army that might fall into a melee.

The musketeers of the Xia army also chose a slightly long-distance salvo, and after the completion of the instantaneous firepower output, the dense military formation of the Suyue coalition on the opposite side was no longer in order.

At the moment when the musketeers fired, the spearmen launched an assault towards the gap shot by the musketeers, and without any suspense, they scattered the enemies who were only making up a number, and Sucheng could not afford to raise so many full-time soldiers, and even a half-full-time could not afford to raise thousands of people.

According to the order given before, they did not choose to pursue after breaking up the enemy, but quickly turned into four columns, turned and quickly maneuvered towards the rear of the battlefield, and the task of chasing and killing the rout was handed over to those musketeers who threw down their muskets, they had no armor, and they only had a copper sword when they threw away the muskets, and they couldn't charge into battle, but there were no cavalry in Suyue's army, and there were no enemies on the flanks, so they were not afraid.

The left flank of the Xia army, before the chariot storm, had already begun the brutal battle experienced by the Xia army on the entire battlefield.

Because the left flank was an attack, and because Xia Cheng's musketeers were too slow to reload, they couldn't suppress the bows and arrows on the opposite side.

Ji Bai took the black-clothed guard and leaned on the shield to get closer to Su Yue's military formation thirty steps in front of it, and after the black-clothed guard behind lit the cast-iron thunder and threw it, the black-clothed guard took the lead in launching an attack.

The position they chose was the center of Suyue's right flank, and they rushed in against the gap after the explosion of the cast iron thunder, disrupting the enemy's formation, but these three hundred elites were also surrounded by several times the enemy.

After enduring the feather arrows for a long time, the spearmen in the back took advantage of the brief confusion caused by the black-clothed guards to the other party and launched an attack.

Musketeers no longer fire volleys, but at random, subject to the end of reloading.

The entire left flank of the Xia army was completely in chaos, and the most brutal hand-to-hand combat and melee were much more tragic than the magnificent victories of the Chinese army and the right flank.

After the Chinese army's chariot raid was defeated, although the battlefield on the left flank was still scorching, the victory and defeat were actually divided.

Yu Linwei's previous two shocks controlled the right flank of Su Yue's army, forcing Su Yue's right flank to shrink and become more and more narrow. The small space could not deploy a large number of troops, and in order to prevent the impact of Yu Linwei, they could only be lined up in a dense manner.

It seems that there are many people, but there are not many soldiers fighting on the front line. If Yu Linwei's initial assault failed, Su Yue's army could completely control the right flank and continue to expand the front to the right to threaten the flank of the Xia army. When the time comes, the Xia army will either shrink the defense or continue to widen the front and pull the already weak front across the rush - it can only be said that Chen Jian's cavalry is now very badly used, and the Yulin Guard, which can charge the formation, is used as a light cavalry to harass the flank and force the formation to change.

The tragedy of the left flank was also due to the fact that Chen Jian was not prepared to fight a rout, but wanted to use an amazing battle of annihilation to announce the advent of the era of civilian infantry.

After the Chinese musketeers finished loading, Chen Jian led the musketeers and Lei Huowei to quickly press the flank of the left flank in the melee in the form of a column march.

After defeating the enemy in front, the Ge spear infantry on the right flank of the Xia army also marched quickly to the flank of the entire Suyue remnant army according to the order.

At this point, the front of the left flank was still in the melee, but the rear and flanks had been cut off, and the infantry dominated the battlefield with the mobility of seven years of training, completing the mobile encirclement of the battlefield belonging to the infantry.

When Lei Huowei and the reloaded musketeers arrived on the left flank, another volley instantly broke the momentum of the remnants of the Sugaku coalition.

Lei Huowei didn't deploy the cannon, and it was too late.

Chen Jian ordered them to use the cannon as a chariot without deploying, and after the musket volley, he let the horse drag the artillery cart at full speed and rush into the already chaotic enemy army......
