0278 galloping horse
By the time the two of them left Qianhu Station, Qi Qitao had already led a large number of people and was almost busy. At the same time, the cavalry had also arrived. In fact, what Yang Jingfa asked for was not complicated. He just asked to build a ten-wide square on the ground.
The second step is a wooden fence that is more than a hundred steps long. The wooden fence is not that complicated. It just inserts two wooden stakes into the ground and nails a chest-high crossbar on them. The function of this set of fences is to let the horses
Run forward in a fixed direction.
Under Liu Pei's order, the cavalry drove the horses to one end of the wooden fence. At the other end, outside the fence, more than a hundred gunmen lined up in three rows, which was a standard three-stage attack formation. But at the other end, outside the fence,
There are five rows of horizontal wooden fences in front of them!
Liu Pei asked: "Are you sure that one crossbar can stop those galloping horses? And are you sure you need to place five in front of the servant? I don't think any horse can get close to the gunman!"
Yang Jingfa said confidently: "Don't worry! The crossbar just reaches the horse's chest. The horses will not lower their heads and go through it. They can't jump over this height, so they can definitely stop it. In addition, the five crossbars are arranged to prevent fire.
The gunman has been trampled, you will know after a while!"
When everyone was in formation, Liu Pei stepped forward and said loudly: "Today we are going to do a practical experiment. This experiment is to test the independent combat ability of our fire gunners. After a while, the horses from the opposite side will rush over, and your task is
Shoot at the horses and don't let them come near you."
As soon as Liu Pei finished speaking, the cavalrymen blew up the temple! During this period of time, the cavalrymen lived with these horses, riding them every day, and they already had feelings for them. How could they be willing to let their beloved horses bear the lead bullets of the musketeers!
They begged Liu Pei and asked for another way to test. But Liu Pei was determined and unmoved. He comforted the cavalry for a few words and ordered them to retreat. The cavalry had no choice but to
He stood aside with tears in his eyes. At this moment, the horses on the other side of the fence didn't know what was going to happen. They were still sniffing each other leisurely, and some were licking the tips of the grass that had just emerged from the ground.
Liu Peigang wanted to ask Yang Jingfa how to activate it, but he saw Yang Jingyuan carrying a large bunch of firecrackers and approaching the horses quietly, so Liu Pei remained silent, just clenched his fists and stared nervously at the distance of the fence.
There was a burst of "cracking" and the firecrackers were lit. The originally leisurely horses were shocked and suddenly became confused. Moreover, Yang Jingyuan quickly ran towards the horses carrying the firecrackers.
The horses were scared out of their wits by the firecrackers, and became confused and tried to escape. However, there were fences in the other three directions, but only one direction was not blocked. So seven to eighty horses ran to the end of the fence at the risk of their lives. At first, the horses
The speed is really not fast at times, but at any time
As they run slowly, their speed becomes faster and faster!
The dust on the ground was lifted up by the horses' hooves, forming smoke. The smoke wrapped around the horses, making their images blurred, just like a group of wild monsters running wildly approaching the fire gunners! The sound of the horses' hooves was as shocking as a war drum.
!This sound also hit the hearts of the fire gun players. Compared with the relaxation at the beginning, the fire gun players gradually became nervous.
The horses had already run a short distance, and the speed had picked up. In the blink of an eye, they had reached a distance of 80 steps. At this time, the horses were so powerful that it was very scary! Even the gunmen knew that there was a horizontal bar in front of them.
With no protection, the body became stiff involuntarily!
At this time, Qi Qitao, who had been prepared for a long time, shouted: "Shoot!"
The musketeers in the first row had already prepared their muskets, and immediately fired their muskets upon hearing the order. With the sound of neat firing, six or seven horses fell down in the front row of the horse group, and two horses behind them also tripped.
Horses. The rest of the horses jumped over them and continued to run forward!
The firecrackers in the first row fired empty firecrackers and quickly moved to the third row to start loading firecrackers. The firecrackers in the second row took a step forward and fired the second row of lead bullets under Qi Qitao's command. This time the firecrackers
The distance between the group and the people was getting closer. Ten horses fell down amid the neighing sound, and four or five more were stumbled! The rest of the horses were quickly approaching.
When the horses had reached more than 50 steps, the third row of firecrackers fired. This time, a dozen horses fell. However, at this time, the first row of firecrackers were still loading and could not fill their positions.
Qi Qitao was so anxious that he shouted desperately: "Speed up the loading!"
Just as the first row of gunners hurriedly loaded up and prepared to shoot, the horses were already rushing in! The chest of the horse in the front row hit the first crossbar at the farthest point, and the crossbar was directly broken.
It was the second one, the third one! Finally, at the fourth time, I finally stopped the galloping horses.
At this time, the fire gunners were only a few steps away from the screaming horses! There were only two horizontal bars blocking the front! A group of fire gunmen were sweating coldly! If they hadn't arranged more arrangements according to Yang Jingfa's arrangement
With a few poles and three rows of gunmen, half of them would be trampled to death by the furious horses!
This time, dozens of horses died at once, and the remaining horses were still jumping around in the fence. The cavalry couldn't bear it any longer, and they all leaned over to comfort the horses. Naturally, they were smiling because their mounts were not dead. But their mounts were dead.
There were tears in both eyes. Some horses that were severely injured but still wailing were accompanied by the cavalry for the last part of the journey.
Liu Pei was so surprised that he could not speak at this time. In his impression, if a few rows of firecrackers were fired, the enemy would suffer heavy casualties and be defeated.
The army is the one! How can he keep the horses rushing in front of him? He forgot a sentence: he can only shoot three arrows before the battle begins! This means that after the two armies start fighting, an archer only has time to shoot three arrows at most, and even more
Don't talk about the slow fire blunderbuss!
Yang Jingfa took a step forward and said, "Mr. Liu, these are still unmanned horses. If those horses are ridden with experienced cavalry, they will be divided into several rows to attack. By then, there will be fewer casualties than now. But at this time
Your soldiers should have been scattered by the cavalry and are being chased!"
Liu Pei knew what Yang Jingfa said was right. It seemed that the loss of dozens of horses in this experiment was worth it! Horses can be bought and bred in horse farms. However, with well-trained soldiers, this is not the case.
It is easy to get. So he handed over to Yang Jingfa and said: "I learned a lesson today! It seems that the all-firearms unit is not good after all! The rate of fire of Huochong is too slow after all. It would be great if there were continuous fire guns! Then, Master Yang felt
What other arms should be added to the family? Just estimate based on the fact that the opponent is the Hou Jin Army!"
Yang Jingfa said: "Actually, your Excellency already has such soldiers, namely spearmen. When dealing with cavalry, the spearmen can be arranged in the front row to resist the horses. Moreover, your Excellency also needs to add a group of soldiers specialized in hand-to-hand combat. Because the spearmen
They have almost no ability to fight in close quarters, so once a warrior breaks through the spear formation, the formation will be easily broken! At this time, there should be a group of elites who are skilled in martial arts and wearing heavy armor to stop them."
Liu Pei nodded to express his understanding and said: "You must ask for advice on these matters in the future! In addition, in the future, Master Yang will have to worry about the cavalry!"
Yang Jingfa was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately knelt down to pay homage, saying, "I will definitely live up to my lord's trust!"
Liu Pei accepted the gift calmly and helped Yang Jingfa. He said loudly to everyone: "Everyone has listened. From today on, Mr. Yang will be responsible for all the affairs of the cavalry! Including the racecourse, he will be in charge of the cavalry until another deployment.
.”
After hearing this, Qi Qitao and others all looked at each other and came up to congratulate them! Yang Jingfa called Liu Pei to call his lord, which showed that he had officially surrendered to Liu Bei. He joined Liu Pei's command as an independent person. And Qi Qitao
Qitao and the others originally followed Liu Pei as servants. They abandoned their original family and joined Liu Pei's family. They had a life-and-death relationship. The family owner felt more intimate. But on the contrary, their independence
The sex has been reduced a lot, and everything must be based on Liu Pei's will.
