Chapter 114: Mounted Shooting
Jiang this white tooth soldier is all clearly chiseled and brightly armored, and the inner armor is pierced.
After killing those vest soldiers, Huang Yujin, the officer of the right sentry B team, commanded his brother to continue to charge and kill, his left arm was a little inflexible, but in the tearing of Fang Cai, he was slashed by a horse armor soldier, but fortunately, the force of the iron armor on his body. The knife didn't hurt him much. But under the heavy force of the blow, the musculature of his left arm was already somewhat damaged.
The two guards beside him were also scarred, and one had the armor on his right chest torn off. Blood was oozing from the wound, and he didn't know it, but he just charged with Topaz Jin's shouting. The standard-bearer in front of him was intact.
Seeing those white-armored soldiers coming, Huang Yujin raised his long knife and shouted: "Brothers, kill Chizi!" ”
A group of spear sergeants shouted again and pounced on him. In the impact of killing the enemy, Shunxiang Fort usually practiced the instinct of harshness, and the right sentry B team paid great attention to the coordination of the array, their team flag was in the middle, on both sides were a team of pikemen, and behind them were also a column of three pikemen.
Each column of sergeants was in a straight line. No sergeant or spearman shall cross this line. If there is no enemy in front of the sergeant of a certain platoon, then the sergeant of this platoon, under the judgment and command of the commander of the first platoon, assists the pikemen next to him to attack the enemy's flanks.
It was precisely because of this cooperation that the ordinary pikemen of the right sentry B team killed the Qing army armours who were only brave and scattered, making them scatter in fear.
However, in the battle, three people were killed and several were wounded, including one early chief, and the command of the brigade has been transferred to the commander. After the formation was divided, the commander of the first and the spear team fought together, and under the command of the commander of the first rank, the captains had become ordinary combat soldiers, but according to the regulations of Shunxiang Fort, if the commander of the first division died in battle, the commander of the army took over the command. Wang Dou also stipulated that if the commander of the army was killed, the more skilled sergeant in the army would take over the command, in short. Let the command structure in the army not be dispersed.
In addition to the soldiers who died in battle, all the wounded soldiers of the right post B team at this time insisted on fighting, and the fight with the Qing soldiers made them more courageous. Han Chao's right outpost had only fought against the mountain bandits, but with the experience of the past, they could now be inseparable from those elite Lezi, and it seemed that the rumored fierce rescuers were nothing more than that.
Topaz Jin's eyes were red, and this guard was like his own brother, but he died so tragically, he roared, and from behind the strong side, the long knife in his hand slashed at his head. This knife is bound to be nothing, the way to dodge, but that Zhuangda did not hesitate, his head was raised back, his arm was raised, and the armor on his arm and waist and back was against the long knife of topaz gold, with a loud bang, the sound of bones shattering came, although that Zhuangda was wearing a double layer of heavy armor. But the entire arm and shoulder was almost cut off by Topaz Gold.
Na Zhuangda roared in pain, and the heavy sword in his right hand picked up and slashed hard, slashing heavily at Topaz Jin's shoulder and neck, the iron armor broke open, revealing the white bones inside, and Topaz Gold almost fainted in pain. He faltered, and the standard-bearer stepped forward. went up and held him up.
The strong man pounced again, and was about to make up for another sword, when the pikemen in the middle of the row behind him had three spears stabbed at him, and he cut off two spears, but he could not break the spear that pierced his right ribs, and the spear broke through his two layers of heavy armor and pierced him deep into his body from his right ribs.
Na Zhuangda convulsed in pain, and suddenly he roared, and actually broke the shaft of the spear with his left hand, and took a step, and the heavy sword in his hand pierced directly into the lower abdomen of the pikeman.
In the corner of the eye. Seeing a pikeman whose head he had severed, Najanda discarded the stick in his hand, drew the long knife from his waist, and slashed at his head viciously.
While fighting with this strong man, the remaining pikemen of this army, including the armor chief, faced the two white-armored soldiers who rushed from behind.
The rain of blood spurted away, and the strong head flew into the sky. The two white-armored soldiers saw that Na Zhuangda was beheaded. There was an incredible look in his eyes. They roared like thunder. Soon, the two pikemen who had their spears cut off also hurriedly swung their knives to meet them after drawing their swords and killing Na Zhuangda.
Huang Yujin was seriously injured, and he struggled to hold on to the team flag. He was just directing the battle, and the standard-bearer drew his sword and guarded him.
The battlefield was bloody and brutal, and in the blink of an eye, there were several dead and wounded on both sides.
Wang Dou closed his eyes, and the fierce killing in front of him was only more than ten or twenty steps away from the circle formation, and looking at a small high platform temporarily erected by the Chinese army, the situation in front could be seen clearly.
It can be seen that the war is extremely tragic. The coordination and tactics of your own sergeants are also very effective. After all, the battle does not rely on simple martial arts but on the cooperation between groups, and no matter how powerful the individual is on the battlefield. It is also not comparable to the collective strength, and few enemy troops can defend against spears stabbing from several directions at once.
But after all, he is a newly trained sergeant. The experience and skills of fighting on the battlefield are far from being comparable to the most elite white-armored soldiers in the Qing army. Maybe every time you kill a white-armored soldier, you have to exchange two or three of your own pikemen, although this exchange ratio is worth the stunned, after all, the white-armored soldiers are the essence of the Qing soldiers' various cattle records, it takes at least ten years to cultivate, and one less to die, and it only takes less than a year to train a pikeman by yourself.
But people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Those sergeants were all painstakingly cultivated by themselves, and seeing their casualties, how could Wang Dou not feel heartache?
Wang Dou estimated that the sergeant of the right sentry B team would not suffer casualties, and his heart was like a knife, and he sighed and closed his eyes.
Soon, however, he opened his eyes again. A determined look appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "The right post C team is playing." ”
Han Chao gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
The drums beat again, and a wave of dozens of Shunxiang troops rushed out with shouts again, and they held their spears and rushed through the front of the right sentry B team to engage in battle. The remnants of the soldiers of the right sentry B took the opportunity to retreat back and form a whole team.
When he retired from the whole team, Huang Yujin, the captain of Team B, couldn't help crying, and he was in this wave of battles. It is estimated that four Qing soldiers and horse armor soldiers were killed, three were killed and wounded, and three or four Qing soldiers archers and unarmored followers were killed. The white-armored soldiers also killed five people, and probably killed and wounded three of them. However, he himself lost thirteen people, two of whom were his own guards, one was a captain and two were a captain, and seven or eight others were wounded. Even he was seriously injured. Among them, the first three rows were still forty-five people, and only the fire commanders arranged at the two corners of the circle were twenty people, and ten people on both sides, each standing in two rows.
After listening to the officer's order, there was an uproar, and the fire soldiers in front of him were all squatting in the first two rows. Stand in the back row and check the fire rope medicine on your hands again. Only the front row of the fire commanders at the two corners squatted, and the back row stood solemnly.
Seeing that the Qing cavalry over there had already accelerated the impact and was about to enter a hundred steps, the officer of the team shouted again: "Prepare for shooting in the rear." ”
The sound of the movement of the fire commander, the fire soldiers who were standing in the third row in front of them, and the second row of fire lock soldiers at the two corners were all aimed at the rushing Qing soldiers and iron cavalry. Those cavalrymen were one man and two horses, all of which were the most elite white armor and horse armor in the Niu Lu. There were more than a hundred foot soldiers, and the hooves of hundreds of horses were dense and dusty, and the earth seemed to shake violently under the blow of iron hooves.
The impact of this cavalry was so powerful, not to mention that the hearts of the fire commanders in front of them were beating violently, and their faces were flushed, even the left sentry pikemen on the inside of the circle were also discolored, and many of them had beads of sweat on their foreheads, I don't know if it was the sun or their own nervousness.
In the blink of an eye, the elite cavalry of the Qing soldiers rushed within a hundred steps. The earth shook even more violently, striking people's hearts with a clang. Watching the black oppressive cavalry come like a tide. Many of the fire commanders held their own fire commanders' hands tight.
Sixty steps.
"Shoot!"
A puff of smoke rose from the left side of the circle, first several fires rose from the corners on the left, and then flashed across the entire left side of the circle.
The deafening sound of fire rang out, and the twenty-five fire mirror soldiers in the back row opened fire together, and the people shouted horses neighing. Immediately, several Qing soldiers were knocked down from their horses. Shoot people first shoot horses, due to the relationship between the fox degree of the circle array, from the left corner of the circle array, there are some fire mirror hands from the side to shoot at those cavalry, plus the target of the horses is large, and the Qing soldiers are one person and two horses. A total of more than ten horses were hit by the fire of Shunxiang Fort.
The horses of the Qing army had never heard such a loud sound of fire mirrors, the deafening sound frightened them, and some horses were shot, and the great pain and stimulation made them angry, they jumped around, or rolled on the ground, some Qing soldiers could not control the crazy horses, a few people were thrown off their horses, and two to the mold were even trampled into meat by the horses that rushed up from behind. Embedded in the opponent's shield when thrown, you can pierce and destroy the shield or armor by pulling it back.
can
The first few waves of Qing soldiers rode away. The shields of the spear and shield soldiers on the left side of the circle were almost swept away, and the Qing soldiers and iron horsemen who followed behind them even rode their horses to shoot sharp arrows, and threw a large number of slashers, flying axes, iron bones and other things. The Qing soldiers' cavalry bow power Shunxiang army almost everyone in armor, as long as they are not shot in the face, the injury is generally not serious, but the fatal thing is their flying axe, javelin and other things, as long as they are shot, they will be seriously injured if they do not die.
The snorts rang out again and again, and the spears or spear and shield soldiers in the formation here were shot one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten casualties on this side, and because the fire command net on this side was finished, it could not be reloaded. There is no cover-up, and the feeling of not being able to fight back after being beaten alone is going to be overwhelming.
Fortunately, at this time, the right sentry commanders who were idle and had nothing to do in the circle array rushed one after another, and they rushed to the front of the spear and shield soldiers from the two corners of the circle formation, or dared to rush to the front of the spear and shield soldiers, and fired at the Qing cavalry who rode their horses and rushed one after another.
A distance of more than a dozen steps, what a big target. Shooting from the side again, by the time these Qing cavalry had finished charging outside the circular formation here, they already had more than a dozen men and many horses under the bombardment of the right sentry commander.
What made those Qing soldiers even more unexpected was that the waves of cavalry in front of them rushed through the circle formation. When passing by the defensive range at the back of the circle, the rounded corners and the fire mirror on the front also opened fire from the side, and when they came back to their senses and galloped desperately to the distance, they left more than a dozen corpses behind in the rear of the circle. There were also many horses that were killed and wounded.
