Iron Tycoon in the late Ming Dynasty 335, camel cavalry versus Mongolian cavalry
In the blizzard, visibility was very low. While Tushetu Khan's army was gathering, regiments of camel cavalry emerged from the snow and fog in all directions.
Although most of the soldiers of the cavalry army were Mongolians and were skilled in bow and horse, they still formed a wall in accordance with combat disciplines. A group of eleven people rushed forward shoulder to shoulder.
Just as Tushetu Khan's outer camp fell, the Mongols who ran out of their tents were stabbed down by the spears of the camel cavalry.
The strength of a single person is not enough to resist the wall rider. A wall is pressing against him, and a dense mass of spears are stabbing him. There is no way he can stop him.
There are fully 200,000 people in this camp. The entire tribe of Tushetu Khan spends the winter here. They have 40,000 strong men, including 30,000 cavalry.
Turigan Tabu Nang quickly gathered his 300 men. He had thirty armored elite cavalry, which was already an enviable force in the territory of Tushetu Khan.
Mongolia was short of iron. Except for the 50,000 to 60,000 horse-mounted cavalry equipped by Anda Khan, the other tribes did not have much armor at all. This was the main reason why Lin Dan Khan could not defeat the Jiensu.
"Warriors of Tu Xie Tu, follow me and rush over. This grassland is not a place for Han people to show off their power. Hula." Turigan shouted loudly while holding up his scimitar.
"Hula, Hula." His three hundred warriors also roared like chicken blood. Then they followed him and rushed towards the wall-mounted team emerging from the snow and fog on the opposite side.
Brother Tang Zhang roared, "Raise your spear," and when charging on the wall, the spear was pointed diagonally toward the sky to prevent it from stabbing the people in front. At this time, with a roar, everyone leveled their spears.
After them, row after row of wall riders rushed out of the snow and fog.
Their hair and beards were all white, covered with frost, and there were even small flakes of ice. The heavy weight of the camels and their wide camel paws trampled the earth, making a huge rumbling sound.
When a camel runs, its left and right sides move forward in the same direction. Therefore, the camel shakes a little from left to right when riding on it. This causes the frost and snow on the military coat to crack. From a distance, everyone is surrounded by snow and fog, just like a group of people coming from the ice.
The legion of gods and demons bursting out of hell.
The Mongolians who were rushing towards me were shocked to see them. What kind of people were they? They were just like withered snowmen.
Turigan rushed to the camel cavalry and realized that it was a stupid idea to hedge Mongolian horses and camels because his own side suffered too much.
Mongolian horses are short, with a shoulder height of only about 1.3 meters. And these camels are obviously not local species. Between the two humps, the shoulder height is a full 185 meters. The height of the hump is 215 meters. And the weight of the camels is about 750 kilograms, and
Mongolian horses generally only weigh 250 kilograms.
The Mongols used scimitars, but the opponents were all 4.5-meter-long spears. What was even more terrible was that the opponent was condescending and stabbing downwards. The Mongols fell into a completely passive situation.
And opposite is a wall of eleven camel cavalry. The Mongols are cavalry in dispersed formations.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, Turigan was dumbfounded.
He and the two Nakoers on his left and right had to face eleven people in a tight formation on the opposite side. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. How could three scimitars be against eleven spears on the opposite side?
Amidst a burst of screams, Turigan and the two Nak'er who were guarding him were directly pierced by a row of spears flashing with cold light and fell off their horses.
Then he was trampled by a camel until his bones and tendons were broken.
A row of spears rushed into the cavalry team with gleaming cold light, and directly dispersed the cavalry. Because such a dense wall of shoulder-to-shoulder riders was impossible to withstand for the Mongolian cavalry who had not been strictly trained in formations.
The two sides collided. The camels were three times heavier than the Mongolian horses, and they knocked the Mongolian cavalry away. They lacked the protection of iron armor, so they fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the camels.
The camel's huge feet stepped on the back of a fallen Mongolian cavalryman.
With a katcha sound, his chest was directly stepped on and shattered. His internal organs spurted out from his mouth. They were smeared all over the ground and the snow was dyed red.
Immediately afterwards, another group of wall riders rushed from behind, and his body was trampled again. After several rounds of wall riders, it had turned into a puddle of mud.
The whole camp was surrounded by the sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, and the sound of grenades exploding everywhere.
Fire and gunpowder smoke were everywhere. There were melees everywhere. Countless wall-mounted soldiers were charging around the camp. Whenever they saw Mongolians gathering there, they immediately rushed over and scattered them.
Tuxie Tuhan was neatly dressed and mounted a group of majestic white horses. The horses' harnesses were all gold-plated and very luxurious. Twenty thousand warriors finally gathered around him. This was the limit of what could be done so far.
Already.
There was fighting on all sides, there were shouts and neighing of horses everywhere, and other strong men and warriors could no longer come.
"Blow the trumpet, let's move forward, defeat these shameless Han people, and show them who is the master of this grassland." Tushetu Khan's old voice roared, and then he launched a charge.
At this time, the strong wind stopped, the flying snow and fog fell, the sky and the earth became clear, and the situation ahead was clearly visible.
In the distance, countless huge fiery red camels lined up in a dense formation, standing in the distance.
Countless soldiers have already dismounted from their camels, forming three rows of musket arrays. Each third-generation flintlock rifle has been raised.
An Sanxi was riding on a camel, squinting his eyes as he watched the 20,000-strong cavalry group charging towards him from afar.
The camel cavalry had tried to clash with the cavalry before, and the camel cavalry was completely victorious. Now, An Sanxi wanted to see how the camel cavalry dismounted to form a fusilier array to fight against the Mongolian cavalry.

Soon Tuxie Tuhan's cavalry group had rushed six hundred meters away.
"Everyone listen to my order and don't shoot without permission." An Sanxi ordered loudly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What you need at this time is to stay calm. Thousands of horses rushing towards you from the opposite side will cause huge psychological pressure on the soldiers, and it is very easy to fire in advance.
The third generation flintlock can reach the level of the later model of the Brown Spey flintlock used by the British lobstermen in the Second Crow period.
An Sanxi mentally reviewed the performance of the flintlock gun again and felt a little more confident.
Projectile mass: One ounce of lead shot is about 28 grams
Maximum range: about 250 yards or 228 meters
Maximum range of 100 shots: approximately meters
Effective maximum range for a single shot: approximately meters
Best shooting range: about 6891 meters
Gun weight: nine pounds, about 4 kilograms
Best effect: 30 yards can penetrate 3/8" iron or 5" oak
Best rate of fire: 45 rounds per minute
Actual rate of fire: 23 rounds per minute
"Everyone was there. The enemy troops rushed to 500 meters, and the camel cannon opened fire. The enemy troops rushed to within 100 meters, and the flintlock rifles opened fire. After the rifles fired four rounds of ammunition, everyone lay down, and the camel cannon loaded shot shells.
Lie down and fire once. Then fire three Camel Gatling 79 machine guns." An Sanxi gave the order.
Cheng Lin and Cheng Hu stood in the front row, their hands holding the guns shaking a little.
Watching the cavalry in the distance shaking the ground, the horses' hooves raising up the snow and mist rushing towards them. They were both a little nervous. They were both enlisted in the militia and had never participated in actual combat.
However, they both understood that they must be steady at this time. If anyone panics and fires first, causing the entire battle line to fire, they will be punished by military law.
They all put their hands on the outside of the trigger guard to avoid firing due to nervousness.
As long as the trigger is pulled, the flintlock gun will definitely fire.
Yang Fan's yellow steel bullet has excellent performance. Brown Sibei's trigger has a misfire rate of about 20 or even 40 per 100 times. This is because the performance of the yellow steel bullet is not good. And Yang Fan's rifle has a misfire rate of less than 100%.
one.
"Brother, do you think we can stop these cavalry with muskets?" Lin Hu asked.
"Shut up, don't talk." Captain Morigen roared angrily, "Wait for orders, don't fire first, otherwise military law will be imposed."
