Chapter 53 Wire and Shotgun
The advantage of Guanning Iron Cavalry is that they are not afraid of the formation of infantry spearmen formed. When they approach twenty steps, they can knock down a large number of spearmen by shooting in a row, and then swing the three-eyed guns to rush into the infantry formation as an iron hammer. As long as the formation of the spearmen is in chaos, the chaotic infantry will be slaughtered one-sidedly when facing the cavalry.
If the spearmen want to block the Guanning Iron Cavalry, they need to be strict and fearless pike soldiers. The spearmen in front were killed by the three-eyed guns of the Guanning Army, and the formation behind them would not be messy. When the Guanning Army rushed to the front, the spearmen resisted, and the bird gun, Lumi gun, turtledove gun, tiger squat cannon, and Fran aircraft output firepower, so that they can repel the Guanning Army.
There were no spearmen guarding the artillery camp in front of the Shun Army. The old cavalry of the Shun Army was arranged on both wings of the artillery camp. Yang Kun's thousand cavalry was sent out to destroy the artillery camp. Even if a thousand cavalry were wiped out, as long as the Shun Army artillery camp was destroyed, the task would be completed.
After the cavalry left the city, they quickly scattered in the open ground. The brigade of Guanning Army infantry following the cavalry carried long spears and bird guns, shouting and rushing out of the city gate, rushing across the suspension bridge, and scattering towards the two wings of Guanning Army cavalry. The task of these Guanning Army infantry was to block the Shun Army cavalry and ensure that their cavalry could destroy the Shun Army artillery.
Therefore, the formation of the Guanning Army was abnormal. The normal dispatch of troops was to deploy infantry in the middle and the two wings were cavalry. This time, the formation of the Guanning Army was reversed, with cavalry in the middle and infantry in the two wings.
"Boom boom boom" The artillery battalion commanded by Zhao Peng adjusted its gun mouth and attacked the Guanning Army infantry that rushed out of the city gate, causing a head-on blow to the Guanning Army who left the city.
The shells rolled in with the afterimage of white smoke and landed accurately in the Guanning Army infantry formation. No matter what was blocked in front of them, they were torn into pieces by heavy projectiles. With screams and wails, the broken limbs and weapons that were bounced off fell to the ground. A large number of corpses and wounded soldiers fell from the open ground outside the city gate.
After the black shell landed, it bounced up again. The speed slowed down a little, but the angle suddenly turned, rolling and jumping in the crowd, plowing out crooked flesh and blood alleys.
A Guanning saber player watched the shells jump up and flew towards him, subconsciously blocking them with a shield, but the shells hit the iron-packed wooden shield. The shield instantly turned into countless broken iron pieces and sharp broken wood pieces, scattering and knocking down the surrounding Guanning army.
Two shells passed over the head of the Guanning Army infantry formation in the front row and directly hit the city gate. The Guanning Army infantry who were leaving the city gate were squeezed into a group and were directly hit by the two shells from beginning to end. Two shells drilled into the entrance of the city gate and penetrated the entire door hole. It stopped moving forward until it flew into the city gate. The city gate hole was immediately filled with incomplete corpses, wounded soldiers with few arms and legs, and fragments of various weapons scattered all over the ground.
The Guanning Army infantry suffered heavy casualties, but the people behind were still rushing out of the city gate at all costs. Only by rushing out as soon as possible can the power of the opponent's shells be minimized.
Soon, more than 5,000 Guanning infantry all left the city. Under the fierce bombardment of Shun Army cannons, they lined up on the open ground, protected the two wings of the cavalry, and slowly advanced towards the direction of Shun Army cavalry.
Nearly a thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry was getting closer and closer to the Shun Army Artillery Battalion. When they entered 100 steps, the Guanning Iron Cavalry began to speed up. Nearly a thousand people, regardless of the Shun Army cavalry that surrounded the two wings, the Shun Army cavalry was handed over to their infantry to stop it. The Guanning cavalry's task was to rush to the Shun Army artillery Battalion.
"Bang bang bang" A sound of shotgun fire sounded, and the Franchise machine of the Shun Army's artillery battalion spit out flames, and the shotgun was fanned towards the running Guanning Iron Cavalry. These experienced Guanning Iron Cavalry fell down one after another, buried their heads behind the horse's neck, and used their thick war horses to protect themselves as a shield to resist the shotgun.
The shotgun was scattered into the cavalry formation like heavy rain. The sad neighing of war horses and the cavalry screams, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry, who rushed to the front, fell down more than a hundred people and horses.
The remaining 800 Guanning Iron Cavalry did not stop the charge, but instead accelerated and rushed towards the Shun Army Artillery Battalion. More than 800 cavalry, plus more than 800 war horses, had increased their speed to the highest level. The momentum of high-speed charge far exceeded that of more than 2,000 infantrymen, and for a momentum of thunderous horse hooves approached the Shun Army Artillery Battalion.
"The Wu bandit cavalry came up, but our cavalry was blocked by the Wu bandit infantry. Should we let the artillery battalion retreat?" Hao Yaoqi, who was standing next to Zhao Peng, asked.
"No need, they can't rush up at all!" Zhao Peng replied confidently.
With Zhao Peng's order, a group of gunners rushed to the bowl-mouth guns, cub-mouth guns, and whirlwind cannons that were placed aside by them. In fact, these old antique cannons were loaded, and all of them were loaded were shotguns, tiger squat cannons, light Franchises and turtledove guns were also ready for firing and aimed at the pre-set positions.
"Kill it! Enter within twenty steps and we will win!" Yang Feng shouted at the top of his lungs.
Just when the Guanning Iron Cavalry rushed to only fifty steps away from the Shun Army's artillery battalion, the Guanning cavalry on the horse had already picked up the three-eyed guns and prepared to fire. They could only wait within twenty steps to rush to fire.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the terrifying screams of cavalry in the front row, and only a loud "rumbling" sound was heard. The dozens of cavalry in the front suddenly disappeared with their men and horses. The Guanning Army behind suddenly discovered that a large pit appeared in front of them. The dozens of cavalry in the front fell into the pit, and the wooden stakes buried in the pit were tied into a horse's nest.
"There are actually traps!" Yang Feng said gritting his teeth.
But since you have already rushed here, you don’t care about that much. If you retreat, a large group of Shun Army infantry and cavalry rushed up, and no one of these Guanning Army cavalry would want to run back. They all have to explain it here. If you stop, you will become a living target for Shun Army artillery. At this time, you can only rush forward with your teeth.
At the command of the general, more than 100 Guanning troops got off the horse, plucked the horse hard behind the horse, and drove the horse into the trap. More than 100 war horses fell into the trap under the master's control. In addition, dozens of cavalrymen who had fallen into the trap before, filled the trap. Then the generals personally led the remaining cavalry of less than 600 people to rush through the trap and killed the Shun Army artillery not far ahead.
Just when the Guanning cavalry rushed through a grass and was only thirty steps away from the Shun Army artillery battalion in front, the row of cavalry in the front suddenly screamed. They seemed to have tripped by something hidden in the grass, and fell down a large area with people and horses.
The war horses in front fell down, the war horses behind rushed up, hit the war horses in front, and then fell down again.
The Guan Ning army behind could only dismount helplessly. After getting off the horse, they found that there were countless iron wires hidden in the grass! These iron wires were pulled by wooden stakes that were also hidden in the grass, and there were barbs on the wire. The cavalry in front just now bumped into the wire, and even the people and horses were hung on the wire.
There were still ten steps away from thirty steps. The Guanning Army could use the three-eyed gun in his hand to shoot the Shun Army gunner, but in just ten steps, it was blocked by iron wire.
Yang Feng jumped off the horse and walked up to check it out. He found that his cavalry was stopped by the wire. He was furious and pulled out his knife to chop the wire in the grass. However, the wire was soft and tough, and it continued to chop for a long time. The other Guanning cavalry also dismounted, imitating Yang Feng's way of pulling out the knife and chopping the wire, but it was useless.
