0837 Ambush appears
This situation made Liu Pei very alert! Liu Pei felt that he could arrange other attack methods. Thinking of this, Liu Pei made a quick decision and said: "Take back five artillery pieces and put them in front of our formation to use them, pay attention to the ambush on both sides of the left and right wings!"
After saying that, Liu Pei picked up the telescope and scanned the left and right sides to see if there were any other signs. The result really made Liu Pei discover the problem!
Not long after the artillery was dragged to the front, Liu Pei saw a team flashing from behind a small mound not far from Kong Youde's right wing, all of which were cavalry!
As soon as these cavalry appeared, they drew an arc and rushed towards Liu Pei's left wing! Liu Pei was relieved when he saw the ambush appear. Sure enough, Liu Pei guessed correctly! Kong Youde has another backup!
It seems that he intends to use cavalry to attack Liu Pei's side and behind when the infantry attacks. Liu Pei sees that there are not many cavalry ambushing, only about a thousand people. It seems that these cavalry are already all of Kong Youde's cavalry.
Liu Pei couldn't help but sigh that Kong Youde was indeed cruel and ruthless! He could see that he was killed and his infantry was slaughtered, and he actually forced himself to not use cavalry. It was not until the infantry approached Liu Pei that the cavalry immediately attacked!
Liu Pei ordered: "This town moves to the left wing and leveles with the left square formation! The cannons are arranged between the two formations, and once they are completed, they will fire immediately!"
After Liu Pei ordered, the officers immediately conveyed the order loudly. The soldiers immediately turned around and started to act. All Liu Pei's soldiers were trained in a queue, making it very convenient to convert!
With the order of the officers, all the soldiers in the square turned left, and one square moved quickly.
Liu Pei had no idea how much frightened Kong Youde caused to his actions! Kong Youde, who was sitting on the horse's back in the formation, saw Liu Pei changing the formation and stood up in surprise almost stepping on the stirrups!
Because Liu Pei's speed of changing the formation is too fast! Although it seems to be just a square formation's turn and translation, if he has not received strict training, most of the troops will not be able to do this at all!
And what's even more amazing is that the entire square formation completely maintains the hollow square formation without any disorder when it is moving! At this point, Kong Youde knows that he
The subordinates absolutely cannot do it!
The reason why Kong Youde ambushed the cavalry far away was that on the one hand, the surrounding terrain was indeed relatively flat, which could cover the cavalry team. On the other hand, he believed that Liu Pei's soldiers' ability level was similar to his own soldiers, and it was impossible to complete the transformation of formation and defense direction in a short time. His own cavalry had enough time to impact Liu Pei's side and back.
But unexpectedly, in just less than a minute, Liu Pei's team completed all the movements! How could this not shock him?
Unfortunately, the square formation in front blocked the movement of the five cannons. Kong Youde did not see the speed of the gunners building the cannon positions. Otherwise, he would be even more surprised!
The gunners immediately adjusted the elevation angle as soon as they fixed the artillery and then started firing! The shells flew out from afar and smashed into the cavalry group. Unfortunately, the solid shells caused little damage to the cavalry!
One reason is that the distance between the cavalry is relatively large, the team is sparse, and it is not easy to be hit. Another reason is that the shells fall on the ground, and it is difficult to hit a thin toilet.
But the gunners didn't care at all and were still firing hard. Because the artillery also knew that even the smallest losses accumulated would be huge losses! What's more, the cavalry would be hit by the shell and fell to the ground. The affected ones were definitely not one or two people, but many cavalrymen behind them.
Because heavy horse corpses will become obstacles to cavalry. Except for a few cavalry who are good at riding, they can either take a detour or trip over the ground.
At this time, the infantry in front saw the cavalry attacking, and their morale rose. The artillery bombardment they endured again rushed to the front of the formation. However, this time Liu Pei also made a ruthless move! He ordered the artillery to fire until the end before evacuation.
The five groups of gunners who deal with the cavalry had already quickly fired six rounds of solid shells at the rebel cavalry, and then quickly converted into shotguns. Shotguns were much sharper than solid shells when dealing with the cavalry!
The targets of cavalry and horses are much larger than those of ordinary infantry! Each shot shot will hit at least two, and three cavalry and horses will fall to the ground! The bodies of people and horses will soon be laid all over the ground!
At the same time, the injured war horses threw away the cavalry on their backs and neighed and jumped on the spot, which caused even greater chaos! The cavalry and the cavalry collided, and the horses were neighing and shouting in a mess! The cavalry's speed had to be reduced to get around the chaotic places. But once the cavalry's speed was reduced, they would be better targets for shotguns!
However, although the cavalry suffered heavy losses, they still rushed towards Liu Pei's left wing! As soon as they reached the firing distance of the musket, the two musketmen who were waiting for the phalanx fired volleys under the organization of the officers!
The huge figures of those cavalrymen are the best targets. Rows of lead bullets rage among the cavalry group! Shooting the cavalry rushing in front to the ground! The shotgun fired at close range is even more lethal! As long as you are hit by the shotgun, no matter the people, they will immediately fall to the ground!
But the cavalry was very fast after all, and they still approached the square formation with dense lead bullets. When Liu Pei saw the cavalry approaching, he shouted: "The spearman raised his gun! The musketman put a bayonet on his hands!"
The spearmen on the periphery squatted down and spread the spear diagonally forward. The tail of the spear was pierced into the land and stepped on it with their feet. The musketman immediately put the bayonet at his waist firmly on the muzzle, and lifted the bayonet forward obliquely! The gunners quickly dropped the cannon and hid in the infantry phalanx.
The complete infantry phalanx instantly turned into a steel jungle! The shining bayonets and blue military uniforms were combined, just like a lake suddenly encountering cold wind, forming a circle of white frost on the edge, which was as eye-catching and beautiful as it was!
The rebel cavalrymen in the Mercedes suddenly found that there were no whistling lead bullets around them, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed! They rushed over with rushing horses! But just as they were about to rush to the formation, they suddenly found that the opposite formation suddenly turned into a steel jungle! They couldn't help but snatch the horses to bypass the sides.
During the cold weapon period, few cavalrymen rushed directly into the infantry phalanx because they were seeking death.
