Chapter 524
Boom boom boom boom...
Beat pounding...
Almost as the two rows of musketeers in front pulled the trigger and quickly squatted down and put the bayonet on, the first rocket had already hit the cavalry group and exploded, and then it was out of control.
The overwhelming explosion swept across the entire cavalry group. Countless war horses fell in the rolling black smoke, and the knights on the horse were bombed into the sky.
This carpet-style saturation strike and the fierce explosion sounded, except for the cavalry charging, almost everyone subconsciously paused and looked at this side. The hundreds of thousands of troops were panting and at a loss.
Then the Qin army burst into cheers, and the coalition forces, which were about to collapse, were awakened by the explosion, and they all left their weapons and turned around and fled.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the King of Chuang was also killed by Wu Sangui and fled directly to Tongguan. Hundreds of thousands of people were finally defeated.
Dorgun also rushed out of the black smoke with his cavalry. Although he was still shocked by the explosion just now, he knew that now was not the time to think about this. Looking at the musket soldiers who were so close to him, waving their long sword with a ferocious look on their faces.
"kill!"
There are not many cavalry who can control the war horses like Dorgun and continue to rush. Except for those who are rushing in front or behind, and those who are not affected by the edge, the others are either bombed to death or the war horses are frightened and cannot be controlled anymore.
So even if there were more than 10,000 riders, the formation became sparse and there was no longer the momentum of moving forward just now.
What they faced were rows of muskets after rows, and the Fran machine cannon attack that had just loaded shotguns.
Except for the first two rows of musket soldiers who fired at the same time, the front row behind them fired, then immediately squatted down and put the bayonet on, held the gun in both hands, held the gun tilted up, closed his eyes tightly, and continued to fire in the back row as if it were the same.
If you can't stop the cavalry and then load and take turns shooting, it's a joke. There's no time to rush up and fight, so it's better to squat in place. Even if you're trampled to death by a war horse, the bayonet can be stabbed into the belly of the war horse, so that you won't be killed by the opponent in vain.
This is true. Even though the elite 30,000 Eight Banners had experienced a hedge against the cavalry and suffered more than 3,000 rockets, the remaining musketeers and cannons could not be completely blocked. At least more than 2,000 cavalry rushed into the crowd, knocking the musketeers in the front rows screamed and trampled on a mess.
But their charge came to an abrupt end, because almost all the war horses rushing into the crowd were poked into hedgehogs by bayonets.
Even when a powerful general like Duoduo rushed into the crowd, he rode his horse high in advance and crossed two or three feet at a time, when he fell down, there was still a cold bayonet below.
Because all the firearm soldiers did not run around after firing the gun, nor did they hold their guns, and stabbed the cavalry, but they all squatted down and held the gun upright.
Although Dorgon screamed fiercely, he would not really rush to the first wave, but to the second wave. So although he rushed up, there were horse corpses and human corpses in front of him, so he could not continue to rush forward, and everyone else was like him.
In this case, you either turn your horse's head and detour, get off the horse's footwork, or bend your bow and shoot arrows.
"Your Majesty, please withdraw!"
"Walk!"
Doer looked around for a moment, and could only say hatefully, he was not stupid, and there were only more than a thousand people around him, and he lost his speed, but there were at least ten rows of firearms and soldiers on the other side.
The key is that the Qin cavalry behind and the Qin cavalry in front are all killed. If they don’t leave, they will be wiped out, and it is meaningless.
While turning his horse's head, Doer rolled back and looked at the man in golden armor on the platform, his eyes were full of reluctance.
Qin Yu felt extremely distressed and said that the cavalry was indeed difficult to kill. Although he had been killed by a musket just now, the fish that had escaped from the net still stepped on it and killed three or four thousand of them.
If there were no rocket strikes, the consequences would be unimaginable. It is estimated that 20,000 firearms and soldiers would have to be explained, so the best way to deal with cavalry is to cavalry.
After all, there are not many opportunities to force the opponent's cavalry to directly attack the infantry phalanx and firearms, and rocket strikes also require conditions.
Otherwise, when Dole rolled on the hillside to rest, he would launch a rocket.
Although there were only more than a thousand cavalry left by Doer's side, there were still many Eight Banners cavalry surrounding him that were blown away by rockets. At this time, the knights also controlled the frightened war horses and began to gather towards Doer's side, heading towards Doer's eastward.
But before most of the people gathered, they were directly crushed by the five thousand female cavalry led by Xiao Cui.
At this time, the cavalry of the Eight Banners rushed for more than twenty miles in one breath, and all the horses were sweating profusely and panting. On the other hand, Xiao Cui's five thousand female cavalry were full of horsepower and formed a scale, waving their sabers one by one and shouting.
Doer looked back at the five thousand female cavalry who were chasing him and was also anxious and angry. He was really bullied by a dog. However, their horses were no longer able to maintain their strength, but the opponent's horses were getting faster and faster, and they could not get rid of them at all.
The distance was too short, so when they turned their heads to fight, they might have been crushed by the other party before they turned completely. However, no matter how embarrassed the Eight Banners were, they were not bullied by these girls, so they turned around and shot arrows.
I have to say that this tactic of turning around and archery invented by the Mongols is definitely the most powerful tactic when escaping. Not to mention that the five thousand cavalry can't shoot archery, even if they can ride horses and shoot archery, the archery technique is not inferior to the Eight Banners, and they will suffer a loss.
Because the chasing people shot arrows in front, the cavalry in front was running forward, and it was difficult to hit the shot. When the arrow fell to the ground, the cavalry ran away.
On the contrary, the people in front threw archery rains behind. When they landed, the cavalry behind just caught up and fell into the trap.
In other words, when the range of bows and arrows is the same, the escaped person has a much further range than the person behind him.
Xiao Cui and the others just suffered a rain of arrows and fell down hundreds of cavalry. They wanted to take out their short guns to fight back, but the range was not enough. After falling down more than 200 people again, Xiao Cui had to turn the horse's head and lead the cavalry to kill from the side, and they didn't dare to chase them so quickly.
At this time, Cao Bianjiao also gathered more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry here and rushed up with a rumbling sound.
Compared with the 5,000 female cavalry led by Xiao Cui, these Mongolian cavalry are definitely the most professionals in how to chase and kill cavalry.
One left and one right, he stayed behind the Eight Banners Cavalry from the side, like a maggot with bones, neither hurry nor slow, always outside the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, but also kept the distance that the opponent could not turn back and rush back. As long as the opponent's speed was slow, he would accelerate and rush up to crush him.
In the end, Doergun only gathered more than 3,000 cavalrymen and ran eastward with a desperate look on his face. Xiao Cui originally wanted to speed up to the front to intercept, but received Qin Yu's order and had to return to the west to chase the infantry. More than 5,000 female soldiers were almost full of unwillingness.
Because of this war, as the oldest battalion of the Royal Guards, they did not make much achievements, but in terms of equipment, they were the best in the entire army.
This destined that their status in the future may be lower than that of the male guards.
Even if there are not many left of the more than 5,000 male guards, as long as there is one left, the male guard battalion will be heroes who dare to charge head-on with the Tartar cavalry.
