Chapter 34: The Decisive Battle 5
So in this section of 200 to 300 meters, it has become a nightmare place for the Jiannu cavalry, and groups of Jiannu cavalry roared into this dead land, and then they were cut to the ground like mowing grass, and only a few people and horses could get lucky to cross this area, but this does not mean that they can really become lucky and can kill in the Yujia army formation.
In the phalanx of each battalion of the home army, there are actually some sharpshooters, that is, excellent marksmen, who do not actually participate in the volley of guns, and their main task is to pay attention to the battlefield situation at the corner of the formation, one is responsible for shooting the generals in the enemy army, and the other is responsible for hunting the fish that slip through the net in the volley of guns.
In addition to these top marksmen, there are also full-time snipers in the Yu family's army, and they are specifically responsible for hunting some high-value targets on the battlefield.
It's just that because the battlefield is full of artillery fire and the situation is very chaotic, the vast majority of Jiannu soldiers did not find that their heads had been knocked off.
Even if they were lucky enough to avoid two rounds of volleys of guns, and the Jiannu who rode their horses through the 200-meter death zone, in fact, they didn't have much chance to rush to the Yujia army's formation, and those top shooters in the corner of the formation were waiting for them.
Such a scene was very tragic, hundreds of Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry, under the fierce artillery fire of the Yu family's army, rushed to the front of the Yu family army without hesitation, but soon they were killed in batches in the area of two or three hundred meters away from the Yu family's army array.
But the follow-up Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry, as if they had taken the wrong medicine at this time, still rushed forward desperately in batches as if they hadn't seen it.
Although Yu Jiajun's rifle salvo is very lethal, after all, there will be intermittent three-stage shots, and after each round of salvo, the musketeers have to rotate forward, and it takes a little time to raise their guns to aim and fire.
If there are too many enemies and the charge is too fast, the effect of the musket salvo may be blocked, so that the fire of the three-stage fire is blocked by the enemy's human life, and the enemy may suppress the musket salvo with human life and rush through the musket blockade area.
And today, under the surprise attack of a large number of Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry, this situation finally appeared, after a large number of fierce Jiannu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry continued to rush forward one after another, although the front of the head was overturned, but the people behind took advantage of the gap between the volleys of guns, but continued to advance forward.
After several rows of volleys, Jiannu's cavalry finally rushed through the 200-meter death zone and began to approach the array of Yu's army.
At this time, the Jiannu who crossed this area, all of them had red eyes, fought hard, and desperately urged the war horse that sat down, and the speed of the war horse began to be raised to the extreme, rushing towards the Yujia army front.
The musketeers of the Yu family's army, although they were still firing a salvo repeatedly, but because the number of enemies was too large and the speed was too fast, the enemy troops they could kill with a salvo could no longer suppress the momentum of the enemy's attack, so that Jiannu's cavalry finally rushed to within 100 steps in front of the Yujia army after paying a huge price in casualties.
At this time, the faces of the generals of the Yu family army became ugly, in the face of such a galloping enemy cavalry assault, the sense of coercion of the cavalry of Jiannu can be said to be directly coming, as long as they are still people, it is impossible to completely ignore such psychological pressure, so many generals of the Yu family army watched a large number of Jiannu cavalry roaring towards them, and their hideous faces could almost be seen clearly within a hundred steps, so the front more or less began to produce a trace of commotion.
People have instincts, when they see their irresistible force attacking, everyone out of instinct, will have a fear of psychology, although the Yu family army has always been strict with military discipline, but can not completely erase the soldier's instinct, so this kind of commotion is normal.
"Steady! Fuck me steady! Don't mess around! Then call Lao Tzu! The pikemen hold your spears tightly for Lao Tzu, hold them steady! ......" The officers immediately began to shout and curse when they saw that some of their men began to make a slight commotion.
After only a small commotion, it was quickly suppressed by the angry cheers of the officers, and the training received by the soldiers of the family army after enlistment was the first priority of their primary training to cultivate a sense of absolute obedience.
But whenever a recruit enters the training, those instructors can tolerate any mistakes on their part, but they will never tolerate them not knowing to obey, even if a person is stupid, many tactical skills are learned very slowly, the instructors can tolerate it, but for disobedient personnel, they will never tolerate it.
Therefore, when the recruits entered the training, everyone suffered from rattan canes and military sticks and leather whips, which can be said to be completely beaten, until they formed an instinctive obedience to military orders, even if Mount Tai collapsed in front, they must not move.
When the musketeers were training, Meng Fei even came up with a way to lack morality, on the one hand, the musketeers lined up to carry out the action training of clearing and loading, while on the other side, a group of people were found to hold baskets of dirt and small stones, and smashed them on the heads and faces.
The musketeers, on the other hand, were asked not to stop what they were doing, and they had to continue to complete the required maneuvers until they raised their guns to aim at the target.
Many of the soldiers were bruised and swollen from their noses and faces during their training, and if one of them stopped moving, or looked up at the other side and tried to avoid the flying rocks and clods, they would be dragged out and spanked.
Under such repeated training, the strict military discipline of the Yu family army is no longer something that ordinary people can imagine.
Just now, when they saw the countless Jiannu cavalry roaring towards them, some people were a little frightened and somewhat commotional, but under the pressure of the officers' bullets, they soon regained their quietness and continued to reload as usual, moving forward to fire, retreating and reloading, and then stepping forward to fire, and so on.
The continuous firing made the thick smoke of gunpowder almost everywhere on the front of the Yu family's army, although the wind continued to blow away these gunsmoke, but the volley of guns was also constantly creating new gunsmoke.
The musketeer's face was now blackened by the constant firing, and the smoke from the medicine pool had already turned his entire face black, almost except for the white eyes and teeth, all other places were blackened, and they looked like little ghosts, which was really a little funny.
But no one cares about laughing at them at this time, because at this time, more and more Jiannu cavalry have rushed to the front of the Yujia army not far away, and the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves flying on the ground fills people's eardrums, and the vibration from the ground under their feet makes people shudder a little.
Like a torrent, the Jiannu cavalry finally filled a road with their lives, broke through the fire blockade of the Yu family's army, and rushed to the front of the Yujia army.
Many of the Jiannu let out a roaring and wild scream, brandishing their weapons, trying to rush into the line of the Yu family army at a faster speed.
Even some Jiannu who are good at riding and archery, at this time, have taken off the riding bow on the horse, put on the arrows, when they rushed close to the Yujia army formation dozens of steps before they were not knocked to the ground, these Jiannu began to shoot arrows towards the Yujia army front, this is also today's decisive battle to this time, Jiannu first real sense of a counterattack, before they except for the neck to be beaten, there is no way to fight back.
Now that they had finally rushed within dozens of steps in front of the Yu family's army formation, and entered the range of their bows and arrows, many Jiannu took their bows and arrows one after another, and threw a rain of arrows on horseback towards the Yu family's army line.
Hundreds of arrows, like flying locusts, swished, and in the blink of an eye, they spilled into the formation of the Yu family's army.
At this time, there was a muffled snort and screams in the formation of the Yu family's army, and I have to admit that some Jiannu and Mongolian cavalry are a people living on horseback, even if they shoot arrows on horseback, the arrows are still very accurate.
It's better to say something about the shots, the Yu family soldiers will be mostly dressed in armor, the riding bow is not more powerful than the foot bow, and the arrows shot are not heavy arrows, so as long as the luck is not too bad, the armor equipped by the Yu family army can basically still block these bows and arrows, which is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian still insists on equipping his soldiers with armor after a large number of muskets, in this era, the preservation of armor is still necessary.
Although the Jiannu cavalry fired bows and arrows and counterattacked the family army, such a counterattack was too insignificant compared with the volcanic volcanic volley of the Yu family army, and even the front of the Yu family army was not disrupted, but only killed and wounded more than 100 soldiers of the Yu family army, of which less than ten were killed, and the rest were mostly minor injuries on the limbs.
Although these Jiannu cavalry were fierce, but when they rushed to the front of the Yu family army, they were collectively a little dumbfounded, and they didn't see until they got closer, through the smoke of gunpowder that shrouded the front of the front of the Yu family army's array, there were actually rows of bright and sharp spear tips, which just pointed at the chest and neck of their war horses.
