The galloping horses, carrying soldiers covered with clothes, galloping. The two cavalry charged and collided, making the cold wilderness lively. In the melee, thunder sounded, and people were overturned on the battlefield filled with smoke.

The marching chief manager, Sima Yang Xuangan, controlled the mount and rushed towards the Goguryeo cavalry in front of him. He held a double-plumber pistol in his hand, aimed the muzzle at the enemy and then pulled the trigger. The spring wheel rotated and rubbed and caught fire, igniting the gunpowder chamber.

The smoke of gunpowder surged, and after a "bang", a Goguryeo cavalry charged with a spear burst into blood on his chest, then his eyes rolled and his body leaned forward and fell off his horse.

Yang Xuangan's posture of holding the gun remains unchanged, but he just deflected the muzzle appropriately, aimed at another approaching enemy cavalry, and pulled the trigger.

With another "bang", the cavalry's shoulders burst into blood, his body tilted, his spear fell to the ground, and the speed of the mount under his crotch was not reduced, and he still rushed towards him.

After the double-plumbered pistol loading two "bullets" were shot, Yang Xuangan raised his left hand and used the armor-breaking armour held in his left hand to hammer the enemy soldiers who were approaching, and just hit the opponent's head.

As the blood light bursts, the enemy soldiers who were "gun wounded" on their shoulders and bluntly attacked their heads fell off their horses and had no resurrection.

Yang Xuangan, who held weapons in both hands, instantly lost two enemy soldiers, and most of his left and right subordinates also had this posture. During the battle between small cavalrymen in the melee, there was no enemy within a radius of twenty steps.

The power of the new spring pistol is no worse than that of the revolver pistol. The armor-breaking effect is very good, but the disadvantages are the same: it turns into scrap iron after shooting and cannot be loaded in a short period of time.

Therefore, they each pulled out their second guns and faced another Goguryeo cavalry.

The emergence of gunpowder pistols made the cavalry fight in close-range, non-contact battles (within twenty steps). The revolver pistols used in combat with the Turks two years ago performed well, and Turkic cavalry with skilled riding skills were overturned.

However, this kind of revolver is "six to two", that is, six "bullets" can usually only fire two. Sometimes, the trigger is continuously fired but it will be silenced one after another. It will be really frustrating.

Now this kind of spring pistol fires with a exquisite spring pistol structure. The barrel has two barrels arranged up and down. Gunpowder and "bullets" can be loaded in advance before use. Because it is well-made and has high reliability, it can basically achieve "two-to-two" and become a new weapon of melee.

It's just expensive, much more expensive than a revolver.

Yang Xuangan did not expect that he would rely on this weapon to continuously kill enemies, and his skillful archery and horse skills seemed to have no place to use his skills.

Having three staffs (bow, spear, spear, sword and shield) is the evaluation criteria for whether a general is brave or not. Now, a person who only knows how to ride a horse, holding a pistol, "bang, bang", may kill a Ruishi who has been practicing cavalry skills for more than ten years.

Such a huge contrast made Yang Xuangan instinctively hate the pistol, but he had to admit that this thing was so easy to use.

Weapons are used to kill people, so the more efficient the weapon is, the better it is.

Amid the sound of "光, 光", another Goguryeo cavalry with more than 30 cavalry was defeated by Yang Xuangan's team, but he did not pursue it rashly, but waited for his own spear cavalry to catch up and meet.

Cavalry that uses pistols as a means of killing enemies can probably be called "pistol cavalry". Although they have obvious advantages in melee, they cannot face the charge of cavalry holding spears and spears alone.

The accuracy of the pistol is too poor. Even if you hold the pistol and aim at the enemy's chest within twenty steps, you may hit the opponent's thigh. This accuracy is not very reliable. Once the pistol cavalry encounters a cavalry who uses a horse spear and a spear, they will lose a lot when hedging.

This is a lesson learned from actual combat. Yang Xuangan kept it in mind and did not dare to rashly escape from the cover of his cavalry with his spear. He looked at the battlefield and saw that the Goguryeo cavalry had been defeated by his side. Then he turned his attention to a certain place in the battlefield.

There was the place where the Goguryeo army's infantry formation was located. Without the cover of the cavalry, the Goguryeo infantry could only form a formation to defend themselves. At first glance, the infantry formation stood alone in the wilderness, squeezed by the Zhou cavalry so hard that they dared not move, which was quite desolate.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xuangan suddenly sighed: It's so pitiful...

......

On the battlefield, Goguryeo infantry hedgehogs formed formations to defend themselves, with spear soldiers outside, with swords, shields and baggage chariots as barriers. There were also soldiers holding bows and arrows in their hands, and occasionally shot arrows to force the approaching Zhou cavalry to retreat.

Their cavalry was defeated and lost badly, almost at a loss. The sudden defeat made the infantry unable to retreat in an urgent manner, and could only form formations on the battlefield to stand up to reinforcements.

Fortunately, the soldiers all brought dry food and occupied a small puddle, so they had no worries about their diet.

The spear formation surrounding the circular formation can at least cause the Zhou army who dared to rush to the formation to suffer heavy casualties, so if they continue to confront each other like this, they should have a chance to retreat.

The battlefield is not too far from Anshicheng in the northeast, so reinforcements should be able to arrive in time.

The Goguryeo soldiers thought so and were optimistic that they could escape from this battle. The commander of the Zhou army and the marching general manager Yuwen Weihan were also optimistic about the war.

At this moment, he stood on a mound, using a thousand-mile mirror to observe the situation of the Goguryeo stair formation. Looking at these enemies who were squeezed by his own cavalry, he felt very excited.

This was the first time Yuwen Weihan led his troops to fight alone, so he did not dare to take it lightly. Before the war, he carefully formulated a combat plan with the assistants. Now it is progressing smoothly. After dispersing the enemy cavalry, he forced the infantry to form a formation to protect themselves.

Such tactics are actually very common, and Yuwen Weihan is deeply impressed by this because of his father's metaphor.

The father's metaphor is as follows: Just like two robbers, they meet a couple (a mixed team of infantry and cavalry) and drive away the man (cavalry), then they can do whatever they want to the woman (infantry)...

Yuwen Weihan was of course excited when he thought that "women" had to let him do whatever he wanted.

A month ago, he was still in Chang'an and was appointed as the chief marching officer. He went to Liaodong to launch a military force to investigate. At the same time, more than 10,000 troops under his command were already in Laizhou and were waiting to attack.

For this day, Yuwen Weihan prepared for a long time, and his troops had been training targeted for a long time, so there was no problem of "the soldiers did not know the general, and the general did not know the soldiers."

Yuwen Weihan bid farewell to his parents and set off on the road with light clothes. He soon arrived in Laizhou and took a boat north to go through Lushun and Juehua Island, and met with his troops.

It is precisely because of his full preparation that he was able to achieve such a fast march speed during this expedition. Just one month later, he had already fought on the land of Liaodong.

Now, after some planning, a main army surrounded Goguryeo, will do whatever they want.

Yuwen Weihan was excited and put away the Qianlijing. Just as he was about to issue an order, he saw the left and right guards surrounding him, as if he was guarding against a thief, and his expression was nervous on his face.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is your intention to do this?"

"Uh... Your Highness, now the overall situation is settled, don't rush to the battlefield..." Li Abao, who was covered in blood on his armor, said with a thorn in his scalp. As the commander of the guard, he must ensure the safety of the prince no matter what.

Yuwen Weihan felt angry and funny when he heard this: "Have you ever said you were going to fight? Has anyone ever heard of it?"

"Uh, I didn't hear it, I just asked Your Highness to put the overall situation first."

Li Abao and the guards quickly "accepted their mistakes", but they complained deeply. Today they followed Yuwen Weihan to the battlefield. The originally agreed to be on-site command, but they turned into a formation looking for fighter opportunities.

As a result, he encountered a raid from Goguryeo cavalry, and the battle situation was once very critical.

Faced with danger, Yuwen Weihan became excited and led his subordinates to fight with the enemy cavalry. The guards were injured in the fierce battle, but fortunately they were in danger in the end.

Yuwen Weihan saw the guards nervously and said nothing more, signaling a general to approach: "The enemy has completed the formation, are our artillery ready?"

"Your Highness, the artillery is ready."

"That's good, shell the shell immediately!!"

Yuwen Weihan is located at the mound, about one hundred steps away from the Goguryeo step formation, and several field guns have been lined up under the mound to prepare for the shelling.

This kind of field cannon is called "cavalry cannon". It has a light body and can move quickly by dragging it with a horse. Because it can accompany cavalry movement, it is called "cavalry cannon".

Although it is an artillery, its "caliber" is smaller and its power is smaller.

Cavalry cannons cannot be used to attack cities, and even if they bombard the earth walls of ordinary camps, they are not effective, but they are used to bombard dense spear formations, but they are effective.

Since the artillery was established, the way of fighting has changed. In order to kill the enemy more efficiently, the Zhou army's tactics began to change around artillery. The most basic approach is to disperse the enemy cavalry, force the enemy infantry to form a formation, and then use the artillery to blast the dense crowd...

Amid the thunder, the Goguryeo step formation of the Hedgehog Group was pulled out by the whistling artillery shells. Faced with this incredible weapon, the Goguryeo soldiers who were originally fighting spirit were stunned.

They had adapted to the Zhou army's weapon "Thunder" and had restraint methods, but now they could not resist such long-distance attacks. The shield could not be stopped at all. The denser the people gathered, the more casualties there were.

After the second round of artillery, the Goguryeo staircase formation began to stir up, and when the third round of artillery was over, the entire staircase formation collapsed, and countless Goguryeo soldiers rushed to the forefront and then fled.

Only when infantry formed formations can they fight against cavalry in the wilderness. Cavalry would have a headache to deal with infantry that was ready for battle, and forcibly rushing to the formation would cause heavy casualties and the loss would be more than worth the loss. They could only find ways to waste it. It would take a few days to let the infantry lose water and food, and the morale of the army be in chaos.

Now, with efficient killing weapons, this is no longer a problem. The Goguryeo soldiers who fled in all directions have exposed their backs. The Zhou cavalry immediately attacked, and under the leadership of the commander, hiding the killing and reaping their lives.
