Chapter 480: The enemy who beats is terrified
Chai Lin pulled out two rotary muskets, and Dian Zhengnan was holding a pair of double halberds behind him, and Liu Dazhuang also used a pair of rotary muskets.
Next to him, Lu Da was holding the battle to subdue demons.
Ordinary soldiers installed a foot-long bayonet in front of the long musket.
The group of people rushed down like tigers.
This is a bit too bullying. The six thousand troops on both sides attacked less than a thousand remaining soldiers.
But what is unexpected is that the Xixia soldiers are quite proud and think there is a chance.
But when one contacted, he found out that he was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong.
The long musket is one meter two long, and the total length of the bayonet is one meter five. It only takes a moment to stab someone, and it is finished when pulled out, so it is not necessary to hit it a second time.
However, the Western Xia soldiers used big swords, spears, maces, and they thought cold weapons could take advantage.
Unfortunately, they were wrong.
The army charged down from the peaks on both sides, and some of the soldiers holding the rotary muskets opened fire first.
Bang bang bang, close-range shooting is accurate, one is accurate, one is dead.
Even infantry holding long muskets will open fire if they are confirmed to not hurt their comrades. There is no martial ethics at all.
This is the result of Chai Lin’s usual training. Martial ethics is what he talks to his friends. If he talks about martial ethics to his enemies, then your wife will remarry and the child will be beaten by his stepfather.
A thousand cute, a dead enemy is the cutest, and the kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
So these soldiers were not morally polite at all and rushed forward, five or six of them together to fight one enemy.
Often, the enemy just took the bayonet and suddenly found a bayonet coming through behind.
Lu Da carried the battle to subdue demons and jumped down from the hillside with a big stride. He first hit Lu Da's head with a mace.
Luda went up to the devil-subduing battle, knocked away the mace and hit the man with a shovel.
He followed the circling and shoveled another Xixia soldier away.
The infantry next to him were far away from Lu Da. Lu Da had a nickname called Lu Crazy. He was very open and closed during the war and could easily hurt his comrades by mistake.
Shan Shiqi waved a large iron rod from the side, and the iron rod weighing dozens of kilograms was too easy to deal with swords and guns. The armor was too easy. As long as you hit it and solve the battle, these Xixia soldiers were not enemies.
Shan Shiqi was very happy. Although he was fighting against the generals, he had gained six or seven soldiers.
Dian Zhengnan also snatched it up, but unfortunately there were too many wolves and fewer meats, so he couldn't get much from Ben.
By the time Chai Lin came down, the battlefield was over.
The Xixia soldiers did not understand until their death. There were so many powerful generals in this group of people, so why were they still so unfair?
All six thousand Western Xia infantry soldiers were annihilated, mainly due to ten thousand enemies. Only a small number of them were killed by cold weapons.
Besides, there were less than two thousand light cavalry outside the valley, thinking they had escaped, but they were greeted by raindrop crossbow arrows.
The small arrow is not big and has no tail feathers, but it is very powerful. It can penetrate the simple iron armor and leather armor.
With only one round of crossbow arrows, at least 300 people in the front army were caught.
Immediately afterwards, the bow and arrow came. The other party had at least three to four thousand cavalrymen, and several of them had very superb arrows.
All the generals in the Western Xia army who were dressed in alternative clothes were taken care of by special care.
Yelu Qi was even more miserable. The flag was shot first and fired. Then he went straight to the door with an arrow. Yelu Qi relied on his good skills and flashed violently. The feather arrow shot on the helmet. The sparks were blowing, with too much impact and his head was buzzing.
The second arrow arrived immediately and headed straight for the throat. Yelu Qi quickly dodged and wiped the large blood vessel on his neck, leaving a shallow trace.
This group of cavalry is like the wind, and does not fight in close combat with you, only shoots arrows, and the arrows are extremely accurate and the hit rate is very high.
The veteran Yelu Qi shed tears of regret on his face. He was unforgivable to be old. The battlefield has always been a place that only belongs to young people. People in their fifties and sixties have to show off.
I wanted to rush up and fight, but I couldn't catch up. These ponies ran like goblins.
"Retreat east, and our tribe is on the east."
Yeluqi issued the order to retreat and sounded the horn of retreat.
As soon as the Western Xia cavalry retreated, Pang Wanchun led the light cavalry to chase after him, chasing the Western Xia soldiers and shooting arrows forward, and feathered arrows flew around, and the enemies kept falling off the horse.
The essence of riding and shooting tactics is to shoot the arrows quickly and accurately, the bows used should be light and straight.
The bow is a composite bow of mulberry and water buffalo horns, with light pulling force. The arrow shaft is cut out with a machine tool, and then selected by craftsmen. Only top-level feather arrows can be assembled to light cavalry.
The Xixia cavalry running behind were peeled off layer by layer as if they were peeled onions, and soon there were less than a thousand people.
After running for more than ten miles, the speed of the light cavalry of the Cangzhou Army had slowed down.
Pang Wanchun waved his big gun, and the army stopped charging and began to rest on the spot.
This fierce pursuit consumes the most horsepower. After running for more than ten miles, the horses were already ready and sweating on their hind legs.
The cavalry rested on the spot and let the horse recover its strength.
The enemy gradually ran away and could not catch up.
Ma Lin said: "Pangtou, why don't you chase after me? If you chase Wulidi again, they will be finished."
Pang Wanchun shook his head: "It's better for them to run away, and it makes them even more scared. What's more, I chased me so hard just now. Look at the sweat on the war horse, and if you run away, you will be injured."
Grassland horses are still defective, and their weight-bearing ability is still much worse due to their light weight, small size, and weight-bearing ability.
Niu Gao led 500 light cavalry to come up, and went to the front to work. The light cavalry began to clean the battlefield and gather the horses. The battle was very smooth, and more than 1,000 Western Xia light cavalry were wiped out with extremely small casualties.
The steel-arm crossbow has great power and strong penetration, which is very harmful to the Western Xia cavalry.
More than 700 horses, hundreds of sets of bows and arrows, weapons, etc. were seized.
In one battle, he exterminated 6,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry in Xixia, and only hundreds of cavalry were run away. The veteran Xixia general Yelu Qi was injured several times and fled in a panic.
After this battle, no one in Xixia was willing to lead troops to attack Shuichuan and Liangzhou City, but instead strengthened the defense of Xingqing Prefecture.
Zhong Ping stayed in Liangzhou for half a month and it was time to go back.
Originally, I came to work hard on the army and brought two thousand silvers, but when I went back, I actually brought more than two thousand taels of taels of cavalry. A group of 200 cavalrymen rewarded each with an average of ten taels of silver, as well as gold, silver and fine gold, soft and soft searches from the enemy soldiers.
Zhong Ping felt a little embarrassed.
"General Chai, this is not good. We are just playing soy sauce and don't work hard. It's not appropriate to get so much money."
Chai Lin said: "Growing the capital supervisor quickly, they should worry about it after a long time has been delayed. As for the silver reward, it is completely distributed according to our standards. There is no additional distribution. Each person brings 60 kilograms of horse jerky and keeps it for food on the road."
Zhongping shook his hand repeatedly and said, "It's better to bring some barley. I'm tired of eating horse meat."
