Chapter 1431 Still not enough cavalry

Suddenly, a group of hundreds of cavalry began to turn, stopped in a circle, and began to rush towards the convoy. As they marched, they turned into an evacuated column. In such a formation, it was difficult for firearms to cause widespread damage.

.

Groups of cavalry stopped circling and rushed towards the convoy from all directions, which was equivalent to a sudden general attack. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the convoy to have enough troops to deal with it.

The Jianzhou cavalry who turned around and rushed towards them all drove their mounts as fast as they could, trying to get as close as possible to avoid being hit by the opponent's muskets.

The Jianzhou cavalry moved quickly, and the soldiers of the Zhao army on top of the cart's cargo bags also moved faster. Light cannons were pulled out from almost every direction, and they seemed to have been loaded long ago.

Although there are a total of seventeen cannons in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the eyes of the Jianzhou generals twitched. When did the artillery become so worthless? But if you think about it, it doesn't matter. With such a light artillery, it won't hurt to bring a few more.

too much.

The Jianzhou cavalry running in front were already ashen-faced. They had seen the power of this kind of artillery. Maybe it didn't hit that far, but there was no way there would be anyone alive within thirty or forty steps. Those who rushed in front would die, but

At this time, it is not that easy to turn back. If you turn back, you will only be bumped and trampled by the companions behind you. It is a dead end. The companions behind you are equivalent to the supervising team in front.

After clarifying this point, the speed of the charge accelerated. If he got closer, could he still fire a second shot? At the above loading speed, he would indeed fire a second shot, but not more.

But as they got closer, they found that there were Zhao Jiajun soldiers holding firecrackers in every direction of impact, and there were dozens of firecrackers in each direction.

Darling, this group of Han people from Xuzhou really rely on firearms. Even the driver is a team of thousands of people, and there are nearly 400 firecrackers. The Jianzhou generals who saw this scene turned pale.

Others are gritting their teeth. Even if they win this time, they will have to pay a lot of money. But they can still win, and a miserable victory is still a victory.

From a distance, I watched the light cannon on the roof of the big car spit out white smoke, and the people and horses neighed. Even though the hoofbeats were thundering, the screams could still be heard clearly here. The iron sand and lead bullets were thrown out like a heavy rain. In front of me,

Everyone will be beaten into a sieve.

The Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry was still approaching, and the firecrackers on the other side of the cart opened fire, and then watched the firecrackers withdraw, just like this, and then prepared for hand-to-hand combat?

This idea of ​​luck was immediately shattered by reality, and the same number of firecrackers came up and continued to fire. As soon as the firecrackers started firing, the cavalry charge was stopped head-on. Occasionally, a horse that slipped through the net rushed over, and soon

He was quickly hit by concentrated fire.

"Damn Han dogs, how many firecrackers did they bring!"

Some people couldn't help but cursed. To achieve such a round of fire, there must be three times the number of firecrackers seen. After all, there must be seven or eight hundred firecrackers roaring. Could it be that all this large convoy is full of firecrackers?

Fire gun soldiers? This is not in line with the organization and is not common sense!

It's just unbelievable for the Jurchens and Mongols in Jianzhou, but it's common sense for Zhao Jiajun.

In fact, the current round of fire cannot be completely free of gaps, but whenever there is a gap and the Jianzhou cavalry thinks they can get closer, the light artillery above will always roar in time.

The smoke became thicker and thicker, and the sea breeze blowing from the north quickly blew away the smoke that obscured the sight. There was never a sufficient number of cavalry to get close. Some cavalry rushed forward and were fired upon. The Jianzhou cavalry did not even dare to draw their bows.

Nocking the arrow, because it will slow down the speed. In such a bloody killing field, if you are slow, you will be hit.

Some people just rushed in front of the cart. The Jianzhou cavalry who rushed in front were even surprised. They originally thought they could win when they got there, but now they didn't know what they could do when they got there, and what they could do. Under the roar of guns and cannons,

Amidst the screams, he finally remembered that he should draw his knife and fight the opponent.

The time is very short. During this moment of hesitation, spears are often stabbed at the cart, or halberds are swung by. In such an ignorant state, it is impossible to resist. The spears penetrate the body, and the halberds directly chop off the head.

It fell, which made the following Jianzhou Cavalry feel cold.

They were ambushed in the mountains and valleys, and those who escaped by chance did not have close combat with the Zhao army. This made the Jianzhou cavalry somewhat lucky this time, thinking that no matter how sharp your firearms are, once you fight to the death in hand-to-hand combat, once you get close,

Right here, you are just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

So they all waited for their brave men to rush to the cart, and the other party's fire gun soldiers collapsed and fled, and then defeated them in one fell swoop? The situation, but the other party was afraid of melee combat. Even if they didn't use spears and halberds, they even saw fire guns.

The soldier swung the musket in his hand and used it as an iron rod, smashing the Jurchen cavalry who was climbing close to him and splitting his brains.

How could they fight? Artillery and muskets had wiped out their charge, and hand-to-hand combat had wiped out the last trace of luck in their hearts.

No matter how fierce the momentum is, no matter how forward, after the forward is hit head-on, the speed of the rear team will slow down, and no one wants to die in vain.

At this time, the horn of retreat also sounded. The Jianzhou Jurchen leaders could clearly see the situation. Even if they were among the team, they all knew that there was no way to continue. The opponent had nearly a thousand muskets.

The convoy was well defended and had the bonus of artillery, and everyone could see clearly that the men and horses inside were using cold weapons. Even if they didn't have firearms, they would still have to pay heavy losses if they tried to capture it.

Why bother to continue and fight, you may lose the old foundation in your hand. It would be better to have a victorious ending. No matter how you look at this scene, there will be many casualties but no progress.

You may face heavy responsibilities after returning, and may even be punished by military law, but there will be no such thing as losing your head or being dismissed from office. You have brought back almost complete strength. If you don't win here with the whole family, then you will be plundering your family and exterminating your family.

Big sin.

"withdraw!"

"This time we don't have enough cavalry. If we have more cavalry, we can rush in and shoot arrows. If we hit hard, we will get in anyway!"

"Use a cannon to deal with a turtle shell like this!"

The officers and leaders were talking a lot. They were very calm during the retreat. The surrounding scouts reported that no ambush appeared. This large convoy was heavily guarded, but it was impossible to pursue it by maneuver. This was the greatest luck in this setback.

.

More than two thousand Jurchen and Mongolian cavalry rushed over with great momentum, leaving more than four hundred corpses around the large convoy.

It would be okay if they were just corpses. Some people were seriously injured but not dead, while others were just injured and lost mobility. They were screaming in pain and calling for help, but these people couldn't care anymore. They could think of their fate no matter what.

Either he died in pain, or he was captured by the Zhao Jiajun. I heard that the Zhao Jiajun never treated prisoners well.

Abandoning your companions is the worst thing for morale, but at this time, you can only give up. Will more people die?

When they found out that they would not be rescued and found themselves abandoned by their companions, some of those who screamed in pain cried loudly, some cursed, and some cried and begged out of fear, but all of this was in vain.

The retreating Jianzhou Cavalry looked ashen from top to bottom. The prayers and curses of their companions behind them were like whips on their backs, making them go faster and faster. Then they heard cheers erupting behind them.

No need to guess, this is Zhao Jiajun celebrating his victory.

The defeated Jianzhou cavalry were all furious, but no one looked back. Everyone had spent too much time in front of this large convoy, and there was no record. If they didn't leave, if they waited until the Zhao Jiajun brigade came up, the consequences would be dire.

It was not a defeat but an annihilation.

I don’t know what Zhao Jiajun was thinking, but no one paid attention to the hilly and mountainous areas that were easiest to blockade, allowing the military information of the Jianzhou Jurchen Army to flow smoothly.

Yue Tuo quickly got the results of the battle. Although Yue Tuo was furious, he responded with a calm enough attitude. He did not order the infantry to rush forward, but the whole army retreated and quickly reported to the Gaizhou Acropolis camp.

, told General Amin the news, and at the same time sent someone to report to Shenyang. There were also people there who needed his direct report.

When he sent the fast horse messenger, Tan Ma reported new news, which was almost as expected. After the Jurchen cavalry in Jianzhou withdrew, the Zhao Army's large convoy began to clean up the battlefield. No one was left alive, but the

The captured horses, weapons and armor were taken away.

In the past, when the Jianzhou Jurchens did this to other Jurchen tribes, the Ming army, and the Mongols, they didn't think anything of it. Today, someone is targeting them like this, and they begin to feel a faint chill.

Amin, Jilharang, and the Jianzhou generals who should know the news all knew it. This time, no one went crazy with anger, and no one was held accountable. They just called the people who participated in the battle one by one and asked them to tell them what happened on the battlefield.

Every detail.

“Not enough cavalry”

This is the conclusion drawn by the generals of Jianzhou. No matter how intensive the fire cannon fire is, there will be no pause, even if artillery is added. As long as there are enough cavalry and they can pass through the area covered by firepower quickly enough, then it can

Kill the enemy at close range, reach a distance where you can shoot with a bow, reach a distance where you can stab with a sword, and Jianzhou will win.

News from inside the pass said that the Zhao family's army was as strong as a mountain. Some people said that "it is easy to shake a mountain, but it is difficult to shake the Zhao family's army." Such a statement was scorned by the generals of Jianzhou. This statement is a deduction from the comments at first glance. Isn't this a confrontation between Yue Fei and Yue Fei?

The words of Jin Jun? How is it possible now?

The reason why we failed time and time again was because we underestimated the enemy. Everyone thought that they could try this method and take a gamble, but these methods failed. The war was completely first, and we had to be invincible first. Any luck
Chapter completed!
