Chapter 506 Battle in Cangzhou 11
"Yes, with the help of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the protective equipment of those cavalrymen will be useless and will only serve as targets for our muskets and artillery." Liu Xinqi was not worried at all that Zhao Yinghao would not be able to stop the [-] Jin Army cavalry, but some Regretful, I should have waited for the troops in the rear to catch up and headed north to the Salt Mountain.

[If there were the fifth and eighth brigades here, these Jin troops would be just chickens and dogs. 】Liu Xinqi sighed in his heart
One brigade of field troops can form a stalemate with the Jin Army's cart formation, and then send another brigade of field troops to attack the Jin Army's camp, which can directly form a situation of "defeat by coincidence and victory by surprise".

Now there is only one regiment of infantry and eight battalions of cavalry left to mobilize.

The Jin Army on the opposite side still has at least [-] Jin soldiers on standby.

"You take eight cavalry battalions and go around to the north gate of Yanshan County to see if you can take the opportunity to invade Yanshan County." Liu Xinqi looked at the two oldest and most experienced deputy commanders of the infantry regiment who were waiting next to him. ordered.

These two deputy regimental commanders were promoted from the cavalry battalion commanders and served in the [-]th and [-]th brigades respectively.With the two of them, the eight cavalry battalions of the Sixth and Seventh Brigades can exert their maximum combat power.

"Yes!" The two of them got on their horses, and the cavalry generals waiting around the Chinese army also got on their horses and headed towards the cavalry formation.

"We have no flanks anymore," Xu Zhong reminded.

The cavalry, which had previously served as flanks to guard the infantry and artillery formations of the Xinghan Alliance fighting in front, were suddenly sent away, and the side of the Xinghan Alliance formation was exposed.

"It's okay, let's show some flaws and see if the Jin army will take the bait." At this moment, the artillery and cart formations are mainly fighting, and the frontline infantry of the Xinghan League has not yet fired a single shot.

"The Jin army sent [-] cavalry, and they chased me and let the cavalry go." The deputy brigade commander Hui reported on the lookout pole.

"Now the Jin Army has [-] reserve troops left." Liu Xinqi said to himself.

All the civilian laborers recruited by the Jin Army in Yanshan County have been thrown behind the carts, either dead or injured. After more than an hour, only half of those who can still push the carts are left.

While considering whether to send a reserve regiment to attack the west side of the Jin Army, the roar of a volley of Tiger Crouching Cannons was heard from the west.

……

After the Jin Army's cavalry reached five miles to the west of the battlefield, the Jin Army's elite men and two riders immediately stopped and changed their horses.

Riding on the horses with less physical exertion, the Jin army set off again and rushed towards the battlefield in the south of Yanshan County.

In front is the cavalry of the Xinghan League, and in front is a column of infantry.

Seeing those infantrymen wielding some artillery, the commander of the cavalry of the Golden Army knew that those were tiger crouching artillery.

"Don't be afraid, rush forward quickly, rush into the Xinghan League's military formation, and fight with them hand to hand, and you will have a chance of winning. Hesitation and retreat are the keys to death." The cavalry commander remembered the previous instructions of the Sixth Prince. , ordered loudly: "Charge! Kill!!"

The speed of the war horse increased again, and the generals and cavalry of the Golden Army who followed also accelerated.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
The saber was pulled out and waved high, shouting the words of support "Wu-li-w-la".

The cavalry is getting closer and closer, two miles, one mile, five miles, one mile, half a mile...

boom!boom! …

The Tiger Crouching Cannon located in front of the Xinghan League cavalry opened fire, firing shotgun shells.

The front of the cavalry formation of the Golden Army immediately seemed to have hit a transparent wall, and everyone was turned on their backs.

boom!boom! …

The cavalry who rushed up from behind were shot down one level again.

"Rush! Kill!! Rush in and kill" the commander-in-chief of the Golden Army cavalry stood behind and directed.

……

"This is a plan to cover this distance with human lives." A deputy brigade commander sighed. "Let them know what they are about to face." Zhao Yinghao ordered the deputy brigade commander who spoke: "Go and command the volley of guns, let these Jurchen Tatars see what a real metal storm is."

The gun formation is good, and the width is basically the same as the width of the Jin Army's cavalry assault formation.

Four rounds of guns!
After training, drills, and bandit suppression, the Xinghan League found the most suitable gun formation for the Xinghan League army, the Han people, and the "Xinghan One-Type Flintlock Gun".

When the Jin army crossed a hundred steps, the Tiger Crouching Cannon no longer paid attention to the cavalry who rushed in alive, but mainly shot at the cavalry in the rear.
The brigade commander commanding the gun formation had advanced the Jin cavalry to seventy steps before he ordered: "Shoot!"

Boom!Boom! …

Boom!Boom! …

...

Five rounds of rapid volley fire directly cleared out all the Jin Army cavalry within a hundred steps in front of the volley.

Boom!Boom! …

The gun formation did not stop. In accordance with the training standards and the established combat plan, Twenty took orderly rotations, cleared the chamber, charged, reloaded, opened the safety, and fired!
The Jin Army's cavalry was trapped in a swamp, and when they got through the Tiger Crouching Cannon, they faced such a powerful Xinghan Alliance army.

"Blocked!" said the deputy brigade commander.

"Yes, it's blocked!" the officer coming next to him agreed.

As long as the initial wave and the sharpest impact are blocked, there will definitely be subsequent impacts, but they will not be as strong as they are now.As long as the first wave is supported, the attack of the Golden Army cavalry will become easy to deal with.

……

His gaze returned to the southern battlefield of Yanshan Mountain.

Jin Jun's cart array finally couldn't hold on any longer.

After all, the people pushing the carts were civilians who had only trained for more than ten days and had little ability to withstand pressure.In the face of huge casualties and terrifying artillery bombardment, these civilians' endurance until now has been beyond Liu Xinqi's expectations.

Now those peasants found that the pushcart formation had stopped moving forward, and they kept moving forward, waiting for their lives.

Under the huge pressure to survive, the common people who were oppressed by the Jin army with swords broke out.

There was only a small-scale resistance at first, but it was quickly dealt with by the Jin army.However, as the war situation continued to stalemate, the resistance became stronger and stronger, and the Jin Kingdom's army became increasingly unsustainable.

Even the Jin Army reserve troops reserved by both sides were invested in maintaining stability.

"Advance!" Liu Zhijie took the opportunity to order the infantry battalions of the three regiments to form a gun formation and advance towards the Jin Army's cart formation.

The "Jingyan [-]nd Year Artillery" stopped firing, allowing the hot barrel to rest for a while. Only the Tiger Crouching Cannon was left to raise its muzzle and support the advancing infantry regiment by ejecting explosive shells.

The artillery that was the greatest threat to the carts stopped firing, but the cart formation did not take the opportunity to move forward, but stopped in place. Through the gap, you can see that the civilians and Jin Army soldiers were fighting each other in the formation.

When the infantry of the [-]th Brigade approached the cart formation thirty steps
"Grenade ready!" The second line of musketeers raised their muskets and took out the grenades.

"Ready!" The fuse was taken off and the improved friction fuse was ignited.

"Throw it!" The grenade passed the first row of musketeers, flew thirty steps, and landed in the Jin Army's cart array.

The roar that was ten times denser than artillery fire reminded me of the explosion behind the cart array, as if a pot had been boiling, with limbs broken and blood boiling.
