Chapter 1485 cavalry charge
PS: Thank you for the nerd’s reward from the book friend.
"Tell Lin Ping of the artillery team, who will use the bombardment to me more?"
Amid the deafening sound of cannons around, Gao Zhongyun could only make the messenger hear his orders clearly.
"The government army has already assembled a large army, and I am afraid it will attack in a while, so I might as well go to the front for a patrol." The person who spoke was Liu Qingzhou, the battalion of another war camp.
The two battle camps came from the tiger-shaped flag soldiers who attacked the official camp.
One of the battle barracks was arranged in front of the formation to fight the official army head-on, and the remaining battle barracks were used as a maneuver, led by Gao Zhongyun to guard the rear.
Gao Zhongyun took down the monocular telescope in front of him and said, "Don't worry, Lao Liu, the government army can't defeat the troops we arranged in front of us."
"If you face the official army later, your camp will be yours, so don't you worry?" Liu Qingzhou turned his head and looked at Gao Zhongyun.
Hearing this, Gao Zhongyun chuckled and said, "Okay, don't be sour. The official army will come around from other directions later. You need to lead troops to intercept them. As for the front battlefield, just leave it to my camp."
"Okay, whoever asked Shi Zheng to order you to be the commander, my camp commander can only obey your order." Liu Qingzhou's tone was full of jealousy.
However, he knew in his heart that Gao Zhongyun was not only the battalion commander of the Battle Barracks, but also the deputy commander of their Battle Barracks, and was one level higher than his Bastalion commander.
The sound of cannons kept ringing.
As the first round of artillery attacks ended, the artillery guns fell into the ranks of the government army accurately and caused harm to the government army.
"General, you can't wait any longer. The front camp and the left camp are almost unable to hold on." Xue Mu said anxiously.
Tens of thousands of official troops belong to different camps, while the front camp and left camp of the official troops were constantly under shelling.
Yang Guozhu on the horse's back had no expression, and did not say a word, holding his right hand tightly on the hilt of the knife.
In the direction of the camp where the official army was stationed, officers and soldiers continued to run out from it.
"General!" Xue Mu looked at Yang Guozhu anxiously.
He understood that Yang Guozhu was waiting for more troops to gather in the camp.
"Report!"
A flying cavalry rushed from a distance, came close to Yang Guozhu and said, "Report to the general, the rioters' artillery attacks are too fierce, and my general requests to send troops."
"Report!"
As soon as the words came to an end, another flying cavalry came in the distance.
The other party came close to Yang Guozhu and saluted with both hands: "Report to the general that the rioters are too fierce, and the Zuoying requested the general to allow the rioters to send troops to the rioters."
"General, send troops!" Xue Mu persuaded him.
Yang Guozhu raised his monocular lens in his hand and looked at the direction of the front camp and the left camp, and then ordered: "Order the front camp, the left camp and the right camp, and the three major camps launched an attack on the bandits and ordered Zhang Kui to bring a cavalry to destroy the bandits' artillery formation."
"Get orders." A general riding a horse intervened at Yang Guozhu and then rode his horse away.
Several banner officials around Yang Guozhu went to the three major camps to pass on orders.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The war drums sounded, and several large camps of the government army began to move forward.
From the array of the official army, a cavalry broke out and headed straight for the artillery team with the tiger flag.
Cavalry in front and infantry behind, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the direction where the tiger-shaped flag army was located.
"Captain, the cavalry of the official army is coming towards us!" An observer of the artillery team said to Lin Ping.
Lin Ping said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, they can't get through."
As he said, before the government army could approach, a team of thousands of people appeared in front of the artillery team, crossing the middle between the government army and the artillery team.
"Resist the horse!" a officer in the Thousand People Team shouted loudly.
Immediately, two rows of musketeers holding muskets were separated into the team, and the front end of the muskets in their hands were loaded with bayonets.
The musket has a long body and a bayonet on its head, which is only slightly shorter than a spear.
These musketeers holding bayonets squatted down directly, and the tail of the musketeer was pressed to the ground, and the end with the bayonet was squinting upwards. The second row of musketeers directly squatted, picked up the musketeer equipped with bayonets in their hands, and made a move to resist horses.
In the back row, all the musketeers raised their muskets and aimed the muskets in front.
There are gunners on both sides, but these gunners do not use bulky cannons like four-pound cannons, but tiger squat cannons that can be easily carried by one person.
An array of thousands of people appeared on the battlefield.
The artillery team behind the array kept firing four-pound cannons, and the target of the artillery was the infantrymen following the official cavalry.
The number of infantry in the official army is large and not as fast as the cavalry, making it the best target for artillery team attacks.
Woo woo woo woo ~
The officers and cavalry charged forward made strange shouts.
In the array of tiger-shaped flag soldiers opposite these cavalry, each soldier looked serious, but there was no look of panic or fear in his eyes.
These warriors fought with the Mongolian cavalry more than once on the grassland.
The cavalry charge they faced was far more shocking than the two hundred cavalry in front of them.
"Preparation..." The captain of the Thousand People Team in the Thousand People Team calculated the distance with the official cavalry in his heart. When both sides were approaching a hundred steps, he blew the copper whistle in his mouth.
The sharp whistle can still be clearly heard even by the sound of more than 200 horses galloping.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The musket in front was first fired, and countless black bullets flew towards the officers and cavalry rushing towards them.
At this time, the official cavalry that charged in the front had already entered the range of the musket.
Several official cavalrymen who were charging forward groaned and fell off their horses uncontrollably.
Even if the person is not dead, he will soon be trampled into a meat paste by the horse's hooves caught up from behind.
A war horse was hit by a musket and also made a whine. Due to inertia, his body rushed forward a few steps and plunged to the ground. The rider on the horse's back was thrown out by habit, hitting heavily on the ground, and his neck twisted into a strange appearance.
After a row of muskets were fired, the sound of the second row of muskets immediately rang out.
The cavalry of the official army rushed forward less than ten steps with the sound of guns.
After the two rounds of muskets ended, the cavalry's charge was obviously slowed down due to obstacles.
Beep! Beep!
Two sharp copper whistles resounded in the middle of the Thousand-Man team's array.
The gunner who controlled the tiger squat cannon fired the tiger squat cannon in his hand for the first time.
The range of tiger squat cannons may not be as strong as that of four-pound cannons. These cannons whose size and weight are stronger than their cannons. However, at close range, countless iron sand and iron beads rushed over from the mouth of tiger squat cannons like dense nets, facing the rushing official cavalry.
Almost none of the official cavalry rushed in front avoided the iron sand and iron beads shot from the tiger squat cannon.
