Chapter 245 Firearms VS Cavalry
boom!The artillery in the artillery position fired violently, like a sudden eruption of a volcano, falling into the Mobei cavalry who hadn't even started the harassment!

In order to deal with the prairie cavalry, the Horqin Cavalry Brigade and the Liaonan Dragoon Brigade mainly used shells with a large explosion range. The roaring shells burst and cleared out a hole!
scare!The Mobei cavalry near the artillery shells watched as the soldiers around them were hit by shrapnel, their heads exploded, and white and red blood spattered for five steps. They were extremely shocked.Panicked, he reined in his horse and backed away to one side, his face pale.The rest of the cavalry also avoided the explosion point of the shell in fright.The formation also became loose as a result.

Not only the cavalry, but even the horses themselves were frightened by the sound of the artillery, and a small number of war horses rammed around uncontrollably.

"Don't panic, their artillery has limited damage, and we have more people than them! Go up and break up their formation with bows and arrows!" The commander commanding at the front hurriedly tried to stabilize the scattered cavalry.

At his urging, a group of cavalry separated out and launched a tentative attack on the right wing of the Liao army in a scattered formation.

"Get ready, shoot!" When the cavalry trotted to a distance of 50 meters from the line of firing, the drums of shooting sounded!

die!The Horqin soldiers pulled the trigger nervously, and a burst of bullets fired at the attacking Mobei cavalry!The horses in the first row fell to the ground, and there was a commotion among the harassing Mobei cavalry.The Mobei cavalry behind could only bypass the overturned horses and knights.

"Fuze shells are ready, lower the altitude!" The artillery officer calmly directed the artillery to fill the fuze shells.This kind of shell is ignited during the process of exiting the chamber, and the shell will explode after flying out of the muzzle according to the calibrated time.

The fire was shining, the cannon continued to roar, and several fuzed shells flew close to the ground.

boom!The fuze shell exploded suddenly under the horse's feet!The Mobei knight riding on the horse was about to bend his bow and shoot the bow and arrow, suddenly lost his center of gravity, fell down with the horse, and completely lost consciousness!
This time there was a greater riot among the cavalry, and more and more horses scattered uncontrollably.

Bang bang bang!The musketeers in the second row stepped forward, emitting flames and white smoke from their muzzles, overturning a row of cavalry again!
When the remaining Mobei cavalry reached the range where they could ride and shoot, the arrows became scattered and weak, causing very limited damage to the line infantry.

Even so, some Musketeers in the first row were shot to death by stray arrows.

"Don't retreat, don't forget the lessons learned during the training!" Some Horqin soldiers standing in the first row were a little shaken, but they were immediately stopped by their companions and officers.

As for the musketeers farther away, they were too busy firing and had no time to take care of their dead companions.Once there is a hole in the first row, the Musketeers in the back row will step forward, and no one can take a step back.

Both sides are consuming troops, but the Mobei cavalry suffers a heavier casualty ratio.The attacks and horseback shooting they are proud of seem so powerless in the face of the longer range of the rifles of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Their crude leather armor and armor are no different from thin paper in front of firearms.

Finally, these tentatively harassing Mobei cavalry couldn't bear such casualties, and began to dawdle, unwilling to attack.The captain and other commanders found that their orders were becoming more and more unable to be carried out by the soldiers under them, and their faces were a little ugly.

"The offensive on both sides was contained by the firearms of the Liao Army, and it was impossible to outflank it." The two Khans responsible for attacking the two wings of the Liao Army sent people to inform Lin Danhan.

Lin Danhan heard the roar of the Liao army's artillery, as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and he was so scared that he had goose bumps all over his body.The firearms of the Liao Army are dozens of times stronger than that of Hou Jin. What string do I lack to dare to attack the Liao Army?
"Suban, do we want to retreat?" Lin Danhan gasped and retreated.

"Our Three Great Khans of Mobei have mobilized a lot of elites to help you regain Monan. You told me that you want to give up? Then we will not come in vain?" Suban said dissatisfied.

Grass, you are afraid of death and don't want to retreat, what are you doing?Lin Danhan scolded his mother in his heart.His Chahar main force can only gather [-] cavalry, which is his last hole card. If it is destroyed here, even Mongolia on the other side of Qinghai will not want to take him in.

The two sides fought stalemate on the grassland from noon to dusk, but the Mobei cavalry had nothing to do with the defense line of the Liao army.The dismounted Horqin cavalry, armed with muskets, did more damage to the Mobei cavalry, leaving them helpless.The so-called one inch long and one inch strong, not to mention the firepower network composed of the range of the cannon and the range of the musket, is enough to make the active attacking cavalry a headache.

Unless it is the Liao army that is attacking, the Mobei cavalry can also cut off the logistics line of the Liao army by virtue of the mobility of the cavalry.But now it is the Mobei cavalry who are eagerly seeking a decisive battle, and they are still fighting on the territory of the Liao army.

"You guys are ready to mount your horses and fight with me!" Sun Sheng, who had been observing the offensive of the Mobei cavalry, saw that the Mobei cavalry, who had been unable to attack for a long time and could not shake the formation of the Liao army, looked tired as the sky gradually dimmed. He knew how to counterattack The time has come.

As part of each of the two cavalry brigades of the reserve team, Sun Sheng quietly formed a cavalry team of 3000 people within the formation.These cavalry teams have the most elite light armor in the Liao Army, and hold sabers forged from very good steel, ready for battle.

Lin Danhan, who was outside, could not observe that there was a cavalry in the defense line of the Fuliao Army ready to go, but hesitated between retreating and continuing to consume.

"If this continues, our ammunition will not be able to keep up. We never thought that such a large-scale battle would be fought so quickly." Some officers have already realized this problem.

Guns and artillery are not unsolvable, as long as the opponent's ammunition is exhausted, they may be able to find a flaw.

However, it is impossible for Sun Sheng to let the Mobei cavalry take advantage of it.

"Get out of the way, our cavalry is ready to attack!" Sun Sheng led [-] recharged cavalry and rushed out of the line phalanx.

Side by side, they held their sabers high, glowing with a faint light.Taking the cavalry of the Dragoon Brigade as arrows, the Horqin cavalry formed a very dense formation, just like the line infantry, marching forward!

This cavalry gave up carrying muskets, but purely used strict formations, sharp weapons, and used the most violent mode to defeat the Mobei cavalry!
First appeared from the line of musket phalanxes. This 3000-man cavalry first trotted, and their speed gradually increased. Some of the cavalry in the front row were holding spears, shoulder to shoulder. Compared with the loose Mobei cavalry, this cavalry was like a horse. It is to condense into a torrent of steel and kill the Mobei cavalry!
The cavalry officer raised his command knife: "For the glory of our dragoons, charge!
