lied to Kangxi

Chapter 299
The Mongols made a big mistake!

Originally, Yaku wanted to attack Lu Wu with both wings, but in the end, it became Yaku's rear army who rushed to attack the jade pillar.

On the other side, the Mongolian cavalry continued to attack Lu Wu's former army.

In this way, Yu Zhu's enemies were divided into three parts.

In the daily training of the Wuwei Battalion, the various formations with the halberd officer as the center are the most important.

Basically, if the enemy cavalry attacked from both sides, the Wuwei battalion would set up a square hollow formation.

As for the Green Battalion soldiers who practiced for a short period of time every three days and practiced once a day for five days, Yu Zhu never counted on them at all.

Alas, the shotgunners who reload once a minute, if they don't hold back the Wuwei battalion, it's not bad!

Only one side of Mongolian cavalry rushed over, and Yu Zhu ordered decisively to change into three dense lines of spearmen.

The main reason is that the enemy only has more than 300 cavalry, and Yuzhu has [-] soldiers in his hands, so he has the confidence to form three lines to launch a counterattack.

If there are too many Mongol cavalry, more than [-], then they can only form a square hollow formation.

Behind the three rows of soldiers, Yu Zhu, who was riding on a horse, had already seen clearly the excited look on Yaku's face.

Yuzhu smiled slightly. What the cavalrymen were most afraid of was that the output speed and density of the bullets were too fast and too large.

Three rows of infantry fired in turn at a rate of five rounds per minute, and the number of bullets in each round exceeded 1 rounds.

The area of ​​the war horse is too large, and at a distance of 80 meters, it is difficult not to be hit.

In addition to the British longbow array, the traditional small-scale archer array cannot deal with the impact of cavalry.

The main reason is that the physical strength of the archers is limited. When they are in battle, each archer can shoot at most fifteen arrows.

The shooting of flintlock guns does not have the disadvantage of lack of physical strength. This is actually one of the main reasons why musketeers eliminated archers.

Another reason is that the armor-piercing ability of muskets is far superior to that of bows and arrows, making iron plate armor and many other armors lose their protective ability.

Now, the existence of Lu Wu's hollow gun array greatly reduced Yaku's room for maneuver.

"Everyone has it, load the ammunition." Following Yuzhu's order, the soldiers of the rear army of the Wuwei Battalion began to load the ammunition.

Originally, Yuzhu was still a little worried, but Yaku set the target of attack on the green battalion soldiers and rural soldiers in the chariot formation.

However, Yaku was obviously worried about being pinched from front to back, so he directly locked his target on Yuzhu.

The Mongolian cavalry came, getting closer and closer, 200 meters, 150 meters, 120 meters.

"First row, raise your gun, aim, prepare, and let go." It was Yu Zhu's first time confronting the cavalry head-on, and he was somewhat uncertain, so he gave the order to fire when they were 100 meters away.

Unlike the Musketeers who dealt with the enemy, the Mongolian cavalry is fast and has a strong impact. It is impossible for the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion to wait for the military order every time they shoot a volley.

That would be too late!

The Mongols are good at riding and shooting, that's definitely not a joke.

With the accelerated charge of the horses, the Mongols immediately started to shoot arrows!

"Ah..." In the queue of the rear army of Wuwei Battalion, someone was shot and fell down, lying on the ground and crying out for pain.

When the two armies are at war, casualties are unavoidable.

Seeds of officers, every death means one less.

Once casualties begin to appear, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be affected to varying degrees.

At this time, strict military discipline is very important.

To put it bluntly, when the line infantry is attacking, tactics and so on are secondary.The core is the fighting spirit and courage of not taking half a step back.

Yuzhu suppressed the pain in his heart, and ordered decisively, without waiting for the order to shoot in turn.

It's time to test the Wuwei Battalion!
"Papa..." After the first row finished shooting, the second row launched a salvo, followed by the third row.

Due to the increased rate of fire, the choking white smoke quickly enveloped the three rows of soldiers.

Due to the increased rate of fire, the first dozen or so horses approaching were all shot down.

After the war horse was shot, it let out a mournful wail, its hooves softened, and it fell to the ground.

The Mongolian cavalry, who charged at high speed with their horses, had no time to get away, and were pinned down by the huge body of the horse.

The huge charge of the horses, engulfing the immobile Mongols, slid forward together a long way.

Because the formation of the Qing army was too dense, the bows and arrows shot by the Mongols in advance were relatively sharp due to the high-speed impact of the horses, and they shot down three soldiers from the Wuwei battalion in one encounter.

At the critical moment, Yuzhu dared not send someone to rescue, lest he would interfere with the rhythm of the soldiers' salvo.

At this time, once the shooting stops, the whole army will be wiped out.

Under the power of two evils, Yuzhu could only endure the pain in his heart, and sometimes ignored his wounded soldiers.

The soldiers who were lying on the ground screaming in pain had no time to be carried down.

The uncontrollable severe pain made the wounded soldiers involuntarily let out horrifying screams, which easily disturbed the morale of the soldiers.

At this time, it is a competition of willpower!
Whoever's morale collapses first will die without a place to bury him!

War is cruel!

Jade is not cut, not a device!
If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow?
This is still a traditional attack by a small group of Mongolian cavalry. If there is a large-scale musket shooting, there will be more dead!
The Mongols' charge was not actually a swarm of bees rushing upwards.

The Mongolian cavalry under Yaku also charged in batches.

Just as the old saying goes, sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime!

On the jade pillar behind the line, the expressions of the soldiers could not be seen at this time.However, the speed of firing in turn was not greatly affected by the appearance of wounded soldiers.

That's very satisfying!

The charge speed of the Mongols slowed down significantly with the annihilation of the first and second batches.

There are only 20 Mongolian cavalry in total, and more than [-] people have been lost in two charge batches.

The morale of the Mongols plummeted!
After the Mongols' offensive slowed down, Yuzhu ordered that the shooting be suspended.

Yuzhu's soldiers hurried over and carried several wounded soldiers down.

At the same time, Yuzhu sent someone to ride a horse to find the army doctor in the camp, and asked him to come over to help diagnose and treat the wounded.

After facing the Mongolian cavalry's attack for the first time, Yu Zhu felt confident.

The charge of the Mongolian cavalry seems to be huge.In fact, there are at most a dozen frontal cavalry that come into contact with each time.

As long as the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion can always maintain a shooting speed of five shots per minute, it will not be a problem at all to deal with small groups of cavalry.

It's just that the bow and arrow damage caused by the Mongols on the horse is far less than the interference caused by the horses falling on the ground and colliding with the infantry array when sliding forward.

From the chaos to the re-arrangement of the line formation, the well-trained grassroots officers played a crucial role in restraint.

Facing the cavalry attack for the first time, Yu Zhu also made many mistakes because of his lack of experience.

However, the mistakes made by the Mongols were fatal.

After the first two groups of cavalry were all shot down, Yaku's desire to preserve his strength gained the upper hand, and he actually ordered to stop the charge.

Hi, this gives Yu Zhu precious time to sum up the lessons learned.

First of all, facing the cavalry's group charge, the three-row line is obviously too thin.At least four to six lines are required to increase the density and frequency of shooting.

A few Mongolian war horses were shot only when they rushed to more than ten meters.After the horse fell to the ground, it had to slide forward for a long distance, which easily disturbed the formation of the soldiers.

This is a big trouble that Yuzhu didn't think about in advance.

Therefore, Yuzhu summed up the lesson and ordered decisively to change the formation into four rows.

With this arrangement, even if the soldiers in the front are disturbed, the soldiers in the fourth row still have a chance to fire a salvo.

At this moment, Lu Wu's main front army had already gained an absolute advantage in the confrontation with Xiao Celing.

The morale of Xiao Celing's musketeers quickly fell to the bottom after losing more than forty people.

Some people couldn't bear the huge psychological pressure of shooting at close range, so they turned around and ran away.

Cowardly running away is contagious.

Worried about the collapse of the front line, Xiao Celing swung his knife decisively and killed the first one of his own who turned around and ran away.

However, more musketeers began to flee in all directions.

The morale of the army has collapsed, and even if Xiao Celing kills one of his own people, he can no longer stop the musketeers running away.

Defeat like a mountain!
After Xiao Celing's musketeers collapsed first, Yaku's Mongolian cavalry saw that the situation was not good, and turned around and fled.

Yuzhu seized the opportunity and quickly sent someone to order Ma Qingfang's [-] cavalry to rush out to chase the defeated army.

If the so-called cavalry under Ma Qingfang charged and attacked the Mongols head-on, they would definitely be unable to withstand it.

However, chasing the Mongolian cavalry who turned and fled, fighting with the wind, is quite different.

As the battalion commander of the Wuwei Battalion, Lu Wu knew very well that he must not let Xiao Celing's Musketeers escape!

"All bayonets, blow the horn, charge, and wipe out the enemy's musketeers!"

Following Lu Wu's order, amidst the loud and clear charge horns, the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion, armed with bayonets, bit the defeated soldiers with Xiao Celing's musket, relentlessly chasing after them.

Although he won the victory, Yuzhu not only did not order the whole army to pursue indiscriminately, but after ordering to regroup, he led the rear troops of the two teams back to the camp.

The Mongols can't be killed, even if they run away, it's not a pity.

As long as Yuzhu is still the local emperor of Xining, he will meet again sooner or later.

If the food, grass and supplies in the camp were attacked by the enemy, it would be called crying without tears!
In Yuzhu's big camp, among the remaining [-] green battalion soldiers, there are only a few dozen shotgun soldiers.

In the face of a large group of cavalry sneak attack, Yuzhu has no confidence at all. Do the shotgunners have the courage to line up and shoot?
It has never been Yu Zhu's habit to put his own destiny in the hands of others.

Therefore, Yuzhu quickly returned to defend the camp with the rear army of the Wuwei camp.

With carriages on both sides and guns and cannons, even if thousands of Mongolian cavalry came to attack, Yuzhu was sure to withstand it for a while.

　There are few noobs in my books.

　　I hope that before everyone criticizes the battle scenes and the improvement of guns, they can find out the basis instead of opening their mouths!
　　It can be said with certainty that the battle scenes I wrote, not to mention whether they are exciting or not, at least consult a lot of historical materials, and also refer to a lot of movies and videos, which are relatively reliable.

　　As long as the criticism is correct, I accept it frankly and correct it immediately!
