Chapter 974: Fierce Soldier Xianxia Ridge (2)

Three musket battalions, 1,500 musketeers had already formed in front of the formation, and the five rows of musketeers in front and back stood alternately, taking turns to fire at the cavalry in front of them!

Bang bang bang......

The sound of gunfire is like bursting beans, endlessly, waves of bullets roaring towards the cavalry, the bullets are too dense, although the cavalry rushing in the front is out of the range of the artillery, but it has fallen into the fire coverage of the musketeers, one by one the cavalry of Fuzhou Town fell off their horses, and in an instant, dozens of cavalry casualties were under the musket!

The cavalry behind is now advancing, and it is impossible to stay, not to mention that there are countless shells waiting for him behind him, either braving muskets or retreating with shells, anyway, there is a great danger, and now he can only take a risk.

Dong Yu commanded the cavalry to continue to assault the front, trying to rush through the distance of three or five hundred steps, however, this time, Dong Yu encountered a hard bone, even if the Beijing camp in front of him was not an elite division, but with such sharp firearms, and at the same time, the cavalry was still two or three hundred steps away, so they scattered towards the non-musket battalion, it was impossible, after all, the military discipline of the Beijing camp was strict, and it was not a rabble like Zuo Liangyu Jiujiang Town, even if the soldiers of the musket battalion were afraid and frightened a lot, But they're still shooting desperately!

Five rows of musketeers shoot alternately, even if it is a bullet fired in a minute or two, the interval between these five rows of musketeers not firing bullets is no more than twenty seconds, twenty seconds, and the current cavalry under the blow of musket artillery has long lost the momentum at the beginning, and the speed fell quickly, and it can't rush through at all!

All the cavalry were stopped by the musket battalion at a distance of 100 paces, and the distance of 100 paces was the death line of the cavalry, and the distance of two or three hundred paces, due to the range and accuracy of the shots, the casualties of the cavalry could be controlled; As long as you enter a hundred paces distance, you will definitely die, the shooting of the musket battalion is too intensive!

After several charges in succession, the cavalry battalion was ruthlessly struck back, and on the battlefield, there were many dead and wounded! The cavalry battalion, which suffered heavy casualties, was frightened by the beating, and finally couldn't contain the fear in his heart, and turned his horse's head and ran towards the rear. If you continue to fight, I am afraid that you will all die on the way to the charge.

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhibao in the distance had gloomy faces like water, and they were still laughing at the imperial court's Beijing camp just now, but in a moment, they were beaten back to reality, and they were slapped loudly by the ferocious fire of the musket battalion......

"Damn bastard!"

Zheng Zhilong turned his head and yelled at Tagawa Nanazaemon viciously: "It's all your dog's day's trouble, thousands of arquebuses, all of them fell into the hands of the imperial court, now it's okay, all of them have become the graves of our Fuzhou Town soldiers, look at your dog's day, how many brothers died under the arquebus!" ”

Zheng Zhilong's distressed heart was dripping blood, these are all cavalry, he didn't have many cavalry in the first place, it was the first charge just now, the casualties of the cavalry battalion soldiers had exceeded three hundred, and if it continued to fight like this, it would not take a day for the cavalry battalion to be lost, this is his biggest reliance in Fuzhou Town!

Tagawa Nanazaemon's face was flushed, and he didn't dare to say a word, who made himself incompetent, all the arms were snatched away by the imperial navy division of the imperial court, if this batch of arms was in his own hands, now the unlucky one is the Beijing camp in front of him, dozens of artillery, thousands of arquebuses, no cavalry impact, these firearms alone, can beat the Beijing camp in front of him!

However, it's too late to say anything now, Jingying's firearms are too powerful!

"Big brother, it's useless to say anything else now, since it's not advisable for the cavalry to force an attack, then mobilize our infantry to attack, mobilize the cavalry to impress the flank of the Beijing battalion, as long as the cavalry can rush up, then the Beijing battalion will naturally collapse without a fight, compared to hand-to-hand combat, the cavalry of our Fuzhou Town is definitely above the opponent!"

Zheng Zhibao said fiercely.

Zheng Zhilong nodded and shouted: "Tian Chuan, this time you personally went out and led eight thousand infantry to attack from the front to attract the firepower of the musket battalion, Zhibao, you led the cavalry to launch a surprise attack on the right flank of the Beijing camp, today I want to try how strong the firepower of the Beijing camp is!" “

After a moment of preparation, Tagawa Nanazaemon personally led 8,000 infantry and began to launch a surprise attack towards the frontal position, and groups of soldiers rushed straight towards the Kyoto camp under the cover of artillery, like a tide!

The same opposite Beijing camp also did not show weakness, after the battle just now, the cavalry was ruthlessly repelled by the musket battalion, the Beijing battalion of the Beijing division was a lot more courageous, no longer want to be so afraid just now, the soldiers of Fuzhou Town are just like this, they have not yet reached their own side is already suffering heavy casualties, the enemy has retreated, what are you afraid of, what is there to be afraid of?

The artillery of the artillery battalion roared again, and shells continued to fall on the positions in front, stopping the advance of the infantry, since you want to die, it will naturally fulfill you, anyway, your infantry two legs are not as fast as the cavalry, even with artillery can make you kill and wound a large area.

Zhao Zhenghang constantly commanded the artillery attack and suppressed the infantry attack. The cha bolt at the front of the position is closely watching the movement of Zheng Zhilong's army, advancing and retreating the cavalry, so fast, the infantry pounced again, this is consuming their own firepower, hehe, since you are willing to consume with us, then slowly consume it, the ammunition carried by Lao Tzu is enough to support at least half a month, even if all your infantry is consumed, I am afraid that I will not be able to shake my position!

Zhao Zhenghang sneered, and saw the cavalry of Fuzhou Town in the distance beginning to assemble to the side, Zhao Zhenghang's eyebrows raised, huh? Is this an attack on your flank? Hey, okay, I'm just giving you a hard time!

Cha Xuan shouted: "Pei Ming, gather our other four musket battalions, even our flintlock musket battalion is pulled to the right flank, the speed must be fast, Zheng Zhilong is going to attack our flank, put the cavalry closer and open fire with all his strength, this time let them have no place to escape!" ”

The entire Beijing camp has gathered 4,500 musketeers, nine musket battalions, all under the control of Xu Peiming, four musket battalions are placed in front, and four musket battalions are also placed on the two wings for protection, only the flintlock musket battalion remains in the Chinese army, and now the investigation is ruthless, and even the last ace musket battalion has been pressed, all concentrated on the right flank, ready to give a big gift to the cavalry!
