Chapter 156 Cavalry Attack

The weather was dry, the rivers and streams were cut off, and it became a smooth road. Occasionally, dried fish could be seen on the cracked riverbed, and the dust was flying. The smoke and dust brought by the large cavalry came from far to near. Like a giant dragon hidden in the smoke, Li Kefu and others, who were guarding the original position of the military vehicle wall, were sweating from the palms of their hands.

The pine trees on the hillside stretched their bodies straight to the sky, and the cavalry galloped through the valley, causing the pine trees on the slope to tremble slightly. From a distance, it looked like a group of black shadows trembling one after another.

"Where did so many cavalry come from? Look at the mountain, it is also an official army?"

"So many, we are surrounded!"

Someone scratched his head and asked, the voice immediately brought up a voice of echoing doubts, and the crowd was boiling for a while, like a pot of boiling water was constantly tumbling.

In the past two months, everyone has only seen dozens or hundreds of fine cavalry from the army at most. This time, He Huchen's frontier cavalry was transferred so suddenly that no one expected it.

So in an instant, everyone stretched their necks and stood there blankly, watching the cavalry galloping not far away.

"Don't talk nonsense, everyone raises their guns, and when they enter the range, they will fire in units of squads. The cavalry is too fast, so don't save bullets." Li Kefu ran back and forth behind the wall of the car and repeated. The cavalry came too quickly, and a countermeasure must be made immediately. Of the policy.

As the battalion commander, Li Kefu has seen a lot of things in the world with Liu Ze in the past half a year. First he fought against Zhuangzi, and then he fought against the Ming army. The cavalry of the Ming army, Li Kefu was still a little terrified.

Although they pretended to be calm and composed, everyone present knew that this time there was a lot of bad luck. The main force of their battalion was these more than a hundred riflemen. The other red-haired men were equipped with cold weapons and had a strong will to fight. The fighting power is enough.

And their battalion is the largest civilian army in the two nearby counties. It is forty miles away from the nearest Ganquan County, where there is only a company of [-] riflemen and [-] red-haired barbarians, and the Luochuan County headquarters is far away. Nearly two hundred miles away, no one can save them, and they will die if they win.

"I don't know what's going on with the back team, my little brother, can you come and rescue us?" Tang Mingzhu leaned in front of Li Kefu, with a serious and worried face, and although it's a bad day, Tang Mingzhu still held on to the last glimmer of hope Now, what if reinforcements can come?Then the chances of victory can be improved a little.

Li Kefu was loading his gun, so he said without turning his head: "Don't even think about it, Deputy Battalion Commander Tang is probably not enough. There are only two cannons, and the others are cold weapons. What can they do?" Tang Mingzhu He served as the battalion instructor, and his younger brother Tang Mingnan served as the deputy battalion commander. The two brothers were in charge of their own affairs.

"Alas." Tang Mingzhu sighed, and the little fire of hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again, but he continued, "Something is better than nothing!"

Seeing that he was downcast, Li Kefu turned his head and patted him on the back, comforting him: "Don't think too much, just do your best and obey the destiny! Everything is arranged by yourself. Besides, what does the guy in your hand do? I dare say There are no such sharp firecrackers in the world, if a hundred or ten of us focus on shooting, we can kill thousands of troops."

The officers and soldiers formed a triangular formation with fifty cavalry in a row. The frontmost cavalry held a triangular red flag as a guide. The third row holds knives and bows. The main purpose of these 150 riders is to use their speed to try to charge and break through the formation. All horses are equipped with horse masks, chicken necks, horse body armor, etc. The so-called horse masks are made of iron with open eyes. Horse face armor, chicken neck and horse body armor are armor pieces.

These are also the most powerful cavalry under He Huchen's command. They are specially used to break the formation. If they are not strong enough, they can also fight to disrupt the enemy's formation.

The first cavalry troop walked slowly to [-] paces, and the horn of attack arrived as expected. Then when they were about to accelerate the charge, a burst of gunpowder and fire flashed from the side of the wall of the civilian army vehicle, just when the officers and soldiers were puzzled , The rain of bullets penetrated into this team of cavalry.

Neither the cloth face armor nor the vest on the body could stop the 11mm lead bullets from two hundred paces away. , Ma Ma Ka Ka.

"Ouch."

"The thieves have powerful firearms."

And the charge horn sounded even faster in the back, which meant to order to speed up. The fine cavalry who had become scattered immediately began to speed up. With the sound of "rumbling", the pennant at the front began to lean forward, and the horses were getting faster and faster. The tasseled helmets on the heads of this group of officers and soldiers showed that they were gradually regrouping during the charge, and the cavalry in the rear team tried to block the gap in front.

"Bang bang bang", another burst of collective gunfire came, this time the cavalry team was directly pierced by bullets, leaving a big hole in the middle, and the remaining hundred or so cavalry immediately turned and fled to the sides, beating their horses and retreating frantically.

The cavalry brigade in the back also seemed to have been drawn a line, and they all stopped three hundred paces away. The middle part was followed by He Huchen's personal guards. The weapons were mostly bows and arrows, and they were also equipped with a small amount of shields and birds. The blunderbuss, and later on, these are light cavalry equipped with quick-sword Kaiyuan bows for pursuit. More than a hundred cavalrymen with long spears tend to fight tough battles. In the end, they all hold bows and arrows or three-eyed blunderbuss.

The weapons and armor are still in order, and the soldiers are still sharp and capable, but the range of the first-year rifles of the People's Army is too far, and there is no chance to approach them at all, which completely disrupts their long-accustomed tactics of jogging at small steps and gradually accelerating their charge.

"Command, the other two lines of fine riders are ordered by my horn, and they need to accelerate from [-] steps away, don't shoot in waves, and get close to them!" He Huchen recalled the shooting speed of the magic gun, ordered, and began to accelerate and charge at [-] steps , running to the wall of the car is only enough to fire three or four shots at most, and the enemy can be defeated on three sides at the same time.

However, before He Huchen's messengers arrived and informed them, the cavalry of the other two routes had already taken their positions and started to attack on their own. The army charges forward, advances but never retreats."

The horns around him also began to echo, making a hasty horn sound, which meant to order a full-speed attack, and the other two cavalry also responded to the same horn sound at the same time.

No longer caring about the hundreds of defeated cavalry retreating in front, He Huchen drew out his waist knife and shouted: "Attack!"

The remaining 300 riders immediately began to accelerate, no longer pity the horsepower, and the accelerating horses could finally reach a speed of 20 meters per second. This is He Huchen's confidence.

The distance of [-] paces is fleeting, and the cavalry from the other two routes arrived first before that. After reaching the Sanchakou, they converged into a group and rushed towards the road where the wall of the chariot was. trend.
