This newly formed Dragon Flame Cavalry has horses from Europe and is a light cavalry unit.
For Long Yan, heavy cavalry is no longer their choice. Speed is more important to them than strength and defensive armor.
These light cavalrymen held the Longyan Army's repeating rifles, which could fire six times in one minute.
This has a longer attack range than a spear or something.
But there is a flaw in that the attack distance is not too far, and it can only reach an effective attack distance of 150 meters at most.
This is much shorter than the attack distance of ordinary muskets.
And filling the bullets is quite troublesome. After firing six bullets, it takes at least thirty seconds to refill the bullets.
This seems to have more disadvantages than advantages, but this gun is not designed for use by the musketeers. It is to allow the cavalry to have a more efficient attack distance and power, and at the same time, it must have the advantages of short-term shooting like bows and arrows.
arms.
Ten steps away, the gun is fast; within ten steps, the gun is accurate and fast.
The main function of these dragon flame light cavalry is no longer to charge, but to use their fast movement speed and repeating rifles with not too far range to contain the enemy's main firepower.
Create a more suitable battlefield environment for Longyan's other troops.
This time Ling Chen not only dispatched cavalry units equipped with repeating rifles, but also more advanced artillery units.
Bomb the enemy troops.
Under Ling Chen's integration, the number of Long Yan's melee troops has changed less and less.
Muskets and artillery are initially replacing the previous spears and crossbows.
Prince Ferlandi looked at the situation on the battlefield. Under the attack of the Long Yan Army, the coalition forces were defeated steadily. It could even be said that he could not understand their current state.
Especially the current situation.
Ferlandi remained silent.
Through the telescope, which was less than 1,500 meters away from the battlefield, he could clearly observe the distribution situation of the coalition troops on the battlefield.
Their equipment is already pretty good. A force of 30,000 people is equipped with 30 artillery pieces, and the musketry team seems to have at least 2,000 people.
But just like this unit, under the new combat methods and offensive methods of the Long Yan Army, they were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back.
It was about to be completely defeated.
Until now the battle had not lasted thirty minutes.
Prince Ferlandi sighed. Under Ling Chen's attack, even the main force of the coalition army might not be able to hold on for long.
At this time, the coalition forces could no longer maintain this battle.
They fell to the ground like water pouring down and scattered in all directions.
Concerns quickly gathered together. The pass guarded by Prince Ferlandi was one of their retreat routes!
Prince Ferlandi looked at the defeated coalition army and immediately gave the order.
"The whole army is ready for battle!"
The Prussian troops, who had been ambushing them for a long time, immediately braced themselves for the attack.
Soon, the retreating Union Army advance troops encountered the Prussian troops.
"kill!"
"Never let go of any of the coalition forces!"
Looking at the Prussian troops that suddenly came out, the coalition forces that were defeated by the Longyan Army looked nervous. Behind them was the terrifying Longyan Army.
If the Long Yan Army catches up, they will be completely wiped out.
The commander of the Union Army immediately commanded the troops to fight the Prussian troops.
The Prussian army only had 10,000 troops, while the remaining troops of the Union Army numbered about 20,000.
Although the difference in strength was half, the Union Army, which had been defeated, no longer had the courage to continue fighting. All they wanted to do was to escape from this ghost place as quickly as possible.
