Yuwen Long's cavalry charged toward the Youtun Guards like a tide. The soldiers' eyes were red, and they just wanted to rush into the formation and kill them. They defeated the Youtun Guards outside the Xuanwu Gate in one fell swoop, and then rushed into the Xuanwu Gate to overthrow the East Palace.
, and make immortal contributions!
However, in front of them, countless lead bullets formed an airtight fire net in the filled gun smoke. The bullets flying in all directions penetrated the bodies of the men and horses wantonly. The infantry of Youtun Guards, who seemed to be able to ravage at will, were right there.
In front of me, before the array of sword and shield soldiers could reach them, several cavalrymen and horses fell on the charging road, densely packed one on top of another.
Don't take a step beyond the threshold.
Intense fire coverage is the natural enemy of the cavalry...
The unexpected turn of events made Yu Wenlong's eyes widen, dumbfounded, and he was unable to react for a long time. He naturally knew about firearms. Since the advent of muskets, their powerful lethality has shocked the world. Naturally, the Yuwen family also used various means to obtain ten weapons.
A few shots, as research.
However, after careful research, the well-informed elders of the Yuwen family agreed that this object was nothing more than sensationalism. Although they also used dolphins, dogs and other objects to test the muskets, after they were shot and killed, the bodies were cut open and the deformed lead bullets were found.
It is indeed extremely lethal by destroying the internal organs and muscles, but its complicated operation is considered to be an obstacle to its large-scale application.
It is good to use it for hunting or assassination. Unless the crossbow hits the vital point, it is difficult to kill, while the musket only needs to hit the torso. Serious wounds are extremely difficult to heal and death is almost certain... Even if the muskets are used in Youtun Guard every time since then
He showed great brilliance in the war and was invincible, but he still did not give rigorous recognition.
The conservative class always resists, resists, rejects, and even kills any new things that try to change the existing model.
However, at this moment, when thousands of muskets roared in unison, rows were completed, rows were on top, and rows were ready, raindrop-like projectiles formed an airtight firepower network in front of the two armies, and Yu Wen, who was charging bravely, was
The domestic cavalrymen and their horses were beaten into a hornet's nest, wailing and screaming as they fell to the ground. Yu Wenlong finally felt a deep fear.
With his expectation, sporadic cavalry finally broke through the fire net and arrived in front of the sword and shield array. However, trying to rush through the dense array of shields and attack the musketeers behind them was like running into a copper wall and could not shake it at all.
Yu Wenlong's eyes were red. He had the winning ticket just now. Yun Danfeng Qing was gone and replaced by endless panic and anger. He repeatedly waved the horizontal knife in his hand and said sternly: "Charge! We must charge forward at any cost."
!The infantry in the rear army speed up, taking advantage of the cavalry in front, and charge forward regardless of casualties!"
The Tubo Hu cavalry behind them have already come one after another. If they defeat the Youtun guards in front of them, and then organize their formation to face the Tubo Hu cavalry, they will naturally not be afraid. Although the Hu cavalry are fierce, the Han army's array can still effectively restrain the Hu cavalry.
No matter how heavy the casualties are in the charge, the final victory can still be achieved by relying on the superiority of troops.
Annihilating the Gaokan tribe and the Tubo Huqi would be equivalent to cutting off half of the arms of the Youtun Guards. The entire Western Region west of the Xuanwu Gate would be open, allowing the Guanlong army to approach the Xuanwu Gate.
However, if the charge is blocked by the Youtun Guards and the whole army is unable to advance an inch and tightly entangles the Guanlong army, then the Tubo Huqi coming from behind will become a life-threatening talisman.
The infantry could not turn around and formed a formation. Under the charge of the Tubo cavalry, they were like dolphins and dogs. They could only be killed by inducing their necks...
The generals on the left and right also changed their colors in horror, and sent orders to all the ministries, and the entire army gathered to charge to the death.
Breaking through the formation of Youtunwei will not only make a breakthrough, but also make a great contribution. If you can't rush through, you will have to fall into the front and rear attacks of Youtunwei and the Tubo Huqi...
All the excitement disappeared in an instant, and everyone panicked, shouting and urging the army to attack forward.
But Youtunwei was extremely calm.
Back then, Dadou Bago was still able to defend itself impregnably against tens of thousands of Tuyuhunjing cavalry. What did the ragtag Guanlong army in front of them count? Although there was no concrete fortress rising from the ground at the mouth of the Dadou Bago Valley, but tens of thousands
The Guanlong army is also completely incomparable with the Tuyuhun Jingqi.
Tuyuhun had rested and recuperated for more than ten years, and with the help of his entire family, he had just managed to assemble such a brave and unparalleled cavalry. He was ambitious and wanted to invade the west of the river. His courage and combat power were both the best choice. And the Guanlong army in front of him, with this
The Yuwen family's private army of "Woye Town" as the main body still has some fighting strength, but the armies of other clans are completely useless. Not only can they not help the "Woye Town" private army in combat strength, but it will affect their morale and morale.
Can hold back...
The Youtun Guards, who were accustomed to seeing powerful enemies and winning many battles, had a rock-solid morale and never took the Guanlong army into their eyes.
The more stable the military morale is, the better it will perform.
In order to find a way to survive, the Guanlong army charged desperately, trying to fill a passage with human lives, directly breaking through the obstacle of the sword and shield formation in front of them and slaughtering all the musketeers. However, the Youtun guards fought steadily, even if the enemy had already rushed in front of them.
Without any panic, they calmly loaded, aimed, and fired. Thousands of people armed with muskets fired in unison, over and over without stopping. The intensive firepower strangled all the enemy troops in front of them.
Guanlong's army went forward one after another, but they could only leave behind dense layers of corpses, making it difficult to make any progress.
You can be angry but can't vent it. When the Guanlong army charged wildly, they could only fall prey to the opponent's strangulation. The projectiles that penetrated everything flew up and down in their own formation, harvesting lives unscrupulously. It was inevitable to bite this breath in your mouth.
It leaked out.
At first, some cavalrymen hesitated to move forward, trying to fish in troubled waters, shouting slogans and whipping their whips, but they did not move a few steps forward for a long time... This was especially true for the infantry who were charging behind them.
The copper and iron walls of the defense line were generally insurmountable, and our own cavalry were slaughtered like chickens. Waves of coldness rose from the bottom of our hearts, our pace began to slow down, and our formation began to unravel.
Yu Wenlong saw something bad and quickly ordered the war supervisors to hold down the formation. These ferocious war supervisors were armed with wide and bright swords. When they saw someone retreating, they would rush forward and cut them off with a single blow. The soldiers were often cut in half with the sword, and the blood spurted out and screamed loudly to encourage them.
The soldiers had no choice but to rush forward bravely.
However, the war team can intimidate the infantry, but it has no binding force on the cavalry.
The cavalrymen braved the hail of bullets and charged desperately. They watched as the robes on the left and right in front of them were hit one after another by projectiles trailing orange flames, and they all fell off their horses and died. The distance of twenty or thirty feet in front of them was as insurmountable as a chasm between life and death.
I can't help but feel fear.
Finally, some cavalrymen rushed to the sword and shield formation despite the rain of bullets, but they heard a "boom" in their ears, and thunderbolts were thrown out from the opponent's formation, landing on the cavalry formation, and the explosion immediately caused people to fall on their backs.
, stumps flying everywhere.
This destroyed the last bit of morale of the cavalry troops.
If you are too far away, you will be shot by ferocious muskets, and you will be beaten like a hornet's nest. If you are too close, you will not be able to break through the opponent's sword and shield array, but you will also have to guard against being blown up by thunder. How can you fight this battle?
The bloody battlefield quickly exhausted the courage of the soldiers. Many cavalrymen suddenly pulled the reins of their horses during the charge, turned their horses' heads from the position, and galloped all the way north. The Yong'an Canal is majestic, crossing the Forbidden Garden and converging towards the north.
After entering the Wei River, you only need to run along the river channel to reach the Wei River, and you can naturally escape from the battlefield.
As for whether they could avoid the encirclement and suppression by Youtun Guards, these soldiers had no time to think about it, and even if they thought about it, they would not care.
The worst they can do is just be prisoners, so what's the difference between the Yuwen family's slaves and the Fang family's slaves? Anyway, they're just like animals, working hard to earn a living...
Soldiers are courageous. When everyone is united and charged to the death, no other thought can occur to the individual. They will die heroically and regard it as nothing. But once someone flees halfway and this breath is gone, all fear and panic will disappear.
It broke out. One moment, tens of thousands of people charged forward with united will, and the next moment, the army was shattered and defeated like a mountain. Such scenes are not uncommon.
That is the case right now.
The Guanlong cavalry, holding back their energy, charged at the risk of death. There were piles of corpses on the ground. The strong pressure and fear finally overwhelmed the string in their hearts, and their morale was completely exhausted. The first man rode northward.
Escape, and soon someone will follow you, then three, five, ten, a hundred people...
In an instant, the cavalry troops rushed and fled northward along the Yong'an Canal. Even though Yu Wenlong was so angry that he became dizzy and almost fell off his horse, it was of no avail.
As the cavalry troops fled, the infantry following them suddenly faced the muskets of the right guard. While their eyes widened, these soldiers began to flee in the direction of the cavalry...
