Chapter 1529 Fire Blockade

"Don't be nervous, I was like you when I first stood in this position, but there is nothing to be afraid of. Those high-caste lords, they are still made of flesh and blood, and the bullets go through their bodies, and they will also Howling like a slaughtered pig."

Ah San, the poor man who has been promoted to the small leader of the servant army, brought a few subordinates, and their team was arranged in the front row of the horizontal line.

This row of soldiers is also the most unlucky row of soldiers. Not only are they facing the possibility of being shot first by stray bullets and arrows from the opposite side, but they are also the first to be hit by the opponent's cavalry.

But Ah San encouraged the soldiers on the left and right as if he had given chicken blood, so as to appease their emotions when they faced the cavalry assault.

He can't wait to get military merit and gain a higher status.

Many Indian servant soldiers who participated in the Battle of Plassey like Asan gained confidence in the contest with their former masters. They wanted to trample on the landowners and cavalry of the high caste as a lower caste. .

The cannons were roaring, and 18 field guns fired solid bullets at the Indian maharaja coalition forces from a long distance.

The roaring shells fell on the deep Indian princely coalition forces, killing several soldiers and causing quite a panic.

The death situation of being hit by solid bullets was extremely tragic, and the surrounding soldiers subconsciously took two steps back.Even the war elephants in the rear shook their thick tusks anxiously, as if aware of the danger.

Thirty thousand cavalry began to trot, and thousands of horses galloped, rolling up billowing smoke and dust!

It is hard to imagine the psychological pressure that the infantry in the cold weapon era would have when faced with a large number of cavalry preparing to charge.Just like primitive people faced with a terrifying beast tide, they are naturally afraid of the impact of horses.Especially some poor people who have not experienced war and have just been recruited.They just learned the skills of handling muskets and the discipline of formation through Qin Zuoming's simple training, that's all.

The three platoons of Musketeers tried their best to maintain a horizontal formation in the face of the enemy's cavalry charge. They raised their muskets and prepared to start the first round of shooting.

"Clear the barrel and load the shot!"

The gunners skillfully use tools to clean the gunpowder dregs in the barrel from the front, and load the gunpowder packs and shotgun shells for short- and medium-range killing into the barrel.

"Machine gunner ready!"

Not only the artillery team was hastily preparing to meet the cavalry's impact, but the four machine gun teams were also preparing, and the machine gunners clenched the handle.

The third prince Aurangzeb led the cavalry to storm the left flank of the expeditionary army, and took the lead to fight against 5000 Bangladeshi cavalry. He held a sharp sword and led his guards like a sharp knife to tear a wound among the Bangladeshi cavalry!
In order to obtain more land, King Kasim of Bengal had to go into battle himself. He fought with the most valiant third prince and the Deccan plateau cavalry led by him. His battle was extremely hard.

The third prince Aurangzeb is far more difficult than he imagined!

Originally, Kasim was a subordinate of the second prince, the deputy king of Bengal, Shashuja. He thought that the few princes were similar to the second prince. Above the second prince.

On the frontal battlefield, the Mughal Guards Cavalry Corps began to speed up from a small trot, and the densely packed cavalry of [-] speeded up.

"Defeat the heretics!" The praetor was in heavy armor, as were the horses he rode.

The front of the Guards Cavalry Legion is the heavy cavalry, all of them are well-equipped, and they plan to use the barbaric pig sudden method to solve the battle simply and neatly!
From their point of view, the enemy on the opposite side has no armor or spears, so what can they use to stop their thrusts!

It only needs to break through the blockade of the opponent's firepower, and the opponent's infantry only has three rows!

When the cavalry of the Mughal Guards Cavalry Regiment clamped their horses' bellies and charged, the cannons loaded with shotguns exploded like thunder. The shells fell into the cavalry, and the burst steel balls splashed everywhere.
The artillery formed the first fire blockade, while the second fire blockade consisted of 4 Gatling hand-cranked machine guns.

The machine gunner shook the handle quickly, and the hand-cranked machine gun began to fire at the cavalry rushing at the speed of hundreds of bullets per minute!
The cavalry fell from their horses one by one, and the horses were hit by machine guns, and the horses and men fell heavily to the ground!

There were too many cavalrymen on the opposite side. The machine gunner was so envious that he couldn't help speeding up the speed in his hands. Metal bullet casings were pushed out and fell to the ground. With white smoke.

"shot!"

Just when some cavalry were lucky enough to escape the second fire blockade, the musket line in front began to fire violently!
If artillery mainly plays a deterrent role, then volleyball shooting is the most important firepower, relying on a large number of people to provide fierce firepower output!

Rows of muskets fired, the flames flickered, and the white smoke formed the fog of war, making the battlefield blurred.

This is the third fire blockade, and this is also the most violent and lethal fire blockade. Hundreds of cavalry were shot and fell down!
The three rows of muskets looked thin, but they spread out the firepower as much as possible. Almost none of the 2000 muskets were idle, and all of them were devoted to shooting the cavalry in charge.

The head of the imperial guard was lucky enough to break through the three fire blockades alive.He saw with his own eyes that the projectile penetrated the plate armor of a cavalryman. The plate armor that should have been able to withstand bows and arrows was so weak in front of the bullet.

He now understands why the opponent is not wearing bulky armor at all. Under closer shooting, the armor is not much different from ordinary coarse clothes!
Even if they break through the three fire blockades at the risk of heavy losses, it does not mean that the cavalry have won. They have lost their impact. Raise it obliquely forward, forming a bayonet array to block the cavalry!
And the musketeers in the two rows behind were still hunting the cavalry with their muskets!

The musketeers assembled into a dense formation, almost shoulder to shoulder, as impenetrable as a copper wall!
The Imperial Guard cavalry had a hard time facing the hedgehog-like bayonet array, and the platoon guns were still firing to wash away their companions!

This is the confrontation between modern infantry discipline and cavalry discipline!
It's not that the cavalry are completely unable to break through the musket line, but that it depends on whether they can maintain a tight formation and are willing to sacrifice.

If a heavy cavalry is willing to pay half of the sacrifice, it should be able to break through the musket line in front of it, but with the discipline of feudal cavalry, most cavalry regiments cannot do it.
