Chapter 1528 fire blockade

"Don't be nervous. When I first stood in this position, I was like you, but there was nothing to be afraid of. Those high caste masters are still made of flesh and blood. When the projectiles pass through their bodies, they will scream like a pig."

A San, a poor man who has been promoted to the small leader of the minion army, led 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. They not only face the possibility of being shot first by stray bullets and stray arrows from the opposite side, but also the first to be attacked by the opponent's cavalry.

But A San encouraged the soldiers on both sides like a chicken blood to calm their emotions when facing the cavalry assault.

He couldn't wait to gain military merits to gain a higher status.

Many Indian servants who participated in the Battle of Plassi like Ah San gained confidence in their battle with their former masters. They wanted to trample on the landlords and cavalrymen of the higher castes as low-level castes.

The cannons were roaring, and 18 field cannons fired solid bullets at the Indian Prince and Duke coalition at a long distance.

The roaring shells fell into the deeper-deep coalition of Indian princes and dukes, killing several soldiers, causing considerable panic.

The death was extremely terrible when hit by the solid bullet. The soldiers around subconsciously took two steps back. Even the war elephants behind were shaking their thick ivory uneasily, as if they were aware of danger.

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

It is hard to imagine what psychological pressure will be when infantry in the age of cold weapons face a large number of cavalry ready to start charging. Just like the primitive people faced a terrible beast tide, they were born to be afraid of the impact of the horse herd. Especially some poor people who had not experienced war and had just been recruited. They only learned the skills of operating muskets and the discipline of arrays after Qin Zuoming's simple training, and that's all.

Three rows of musketeers tried their best to maintain their formation when facing the enemy cavalry charge. They raised their muskets and prepared to start the first round of shooting.

"Cleaning the gun chamber and loading shotgun!"

The gunner skillfully used tools to clean the gunpowder residue in the barrel from the front chamber, and loaded the gunpowder pack and shotgun for medium and short-range killing into the barrel.

"Machine gunner ready!"

Not only were the artillery teams hurrying to welcome the cavalry's impact, but four machine gun teams were also preparing, and the machine gunners tightened the handle.

The third prince Aurangzeb led his cavalry to attack the left wing of the expeditionary army and took the lead in fighting with 5,000 Bangladesh cavalry. He held a sharp sword and his guards tore a wound in the Bangladesh cavalry like a sharp knife!

In order to obtain more land, King Qasim of Bangladesh had to go into battle himself. He fought with the most brave and warlike third prince and the Deccan Plateau cavalry he led. His battle was extremely hard.

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

Originally, Qasim was the subordinate of the second prince, the deputy king of Bengal, Shashujia, and thought that the princes were similar to the second prince, but after he fought with Aurangzebu, he found that the opponent's bravery and commanded cavalry were far above the second prince.

On the front battlefield, the Mughal Cavalry Legion began to change from trotting to acceleration, and ten thousand cavalrymen were speeding up.

"Defeat the pagans!" The guard was wearing heavy armor, and the horses he rode were also wearing armor.

The front of the Imperial Guard Cavalry Legion is the heavy cavalry, each of which is well-equipped and intends to use the barbaric pig-punch method to solve the battle simply and accurately!

In their opinion, the enemy opposite had no armor or spear, so what could he do to block their pig raids!

Just break through the opponent's fire blockade, the opponent's infantry will only have three rows!

When the cavalry of the Mughal Guard Cavalry Legion clamped the horse's belly and charged, the cannons loaded with shotguns exploded like thunder. The shells fell into the cavalry, and the bursting steel balls splashed everywhere, and a crowd of people and horses flew around!

The artillery constitutes the first fire blockade line, while the second fire blockade line consists of four Gatling hand-cranked machine guns.

The machine gunner quickly shook the handle, and the hand-cranked machine gun began to strafuse the rushing cavalry at a speed of hundreds of bullets per minute!

Cavalry fell from horseback, and some war horses were hit by machine guns, and they smashed heavily on the ground with people and horses!

There were too many cavalrymen on the opposite side. The machine gunner was jealous of killing, and the speed in his hands could not help but speed up. Metal shells were pushed out and landed on the ground. Even the parallel gun chamber became hot due to the rapid shooting, and white smoke continued to emitting.

"shot!"

Just as some of the cavalry luckily avoided the second fire blockade, the front musket line began to shoot violently!

If artillery mainly plays a deterrent role, then queuing gun shooting is the main firepower, and a large number of people provide fierce firepower output!

Rows of muskets opened fire, the flames flashed, and the white smoke formed a fog of war, making the battlefield blurred.

This is the third fire blockade line, and it is also the most violent and lethal fire blockade line. Hundreds of cavalry were shot and fell!

The three rows of muskets looked thin, but they spread their firepower as much as possible. Almost none of the 2,000 muskets were idle, and all of them were put into shooting at the cavalry in the charge.

The Imperial Guard lucky enough to break through three fire blockade lines alive. He saw with his own eyes that the projectile penetrated a cavalry's plate armor. The plate armor that should have resisted bows and arrows seemed so weak in front of the bullets.

He now understands why the other party is not wearing heavy armor at all. Under close shooting, there is not much difference between armor and ordinary coarse clothes!

Even if you risk the risk of heavy losses and break through the three fire blockade lines, it does not mean that the cavalry won. They have lost their impact. The musketeers in the front row have half-squatted down and inserted the butt stock to the ground. The bayonets raised their bayonets diagonally forward to form a bayonet formation to block the cavalry!

The musketeers in the two rows behind were still holding muskets and hunting cavalry!

The musketeers gathered into a dense formation, almost shoulder-to-shoulder-to-shoulder, as uninterrupted as a copper wall!

The guards were facing the hedgehog-like bayonet formation, and the guns were still firing and washing their companions!

This is a confrontation between modern infantry discipline and cavalry discipline!

It is not that the cavalry are completely unable to break through the musket line, but that it depends on whether they can keep the formation tight and willing to sacrifice.

If a heavy cavalry is willing to sacrifice half of the sacrifice, he should be able to break the line of muskets in front of him, but with the discipline of feudal cavalry, most cavalry corps cannot do it.
