Have the North Korean soldiers ever seen such fierce artillery fire? One hundred cannons fired several rounds, and the morale of many North Korean soldiers and horses was shaky.
At the critical moment, the 20,000 cavalrymen of Xianjing Road came out and killed them.
The cavalry of Hamgyeong Province can be said to be North Korea's trump card. These soldiers and horses have been stationed at the northernmost tip of North Korea for a long time to guard against the Jurchens or the Ming Dynasty moving south. The Korean royal family invested a lot of resources in this army and horses, and their weapons and armor are obviously better than other soldiers.
During the Wanli period, Japan invaded Korea. The Japanese army, which was cutting melons and vegetables along the way, mobilized its main force to attack the Hamgyong Province cavalry, but was almost defeated by the cavalry. In the end, they won by relying on their numerical superiority.
If the Korean royal family still has a trump card, then this cavalry is undoubtedly the last trump card.
The 20,000 cavalrymen in cotton armor grabbed their sabers and aggressively passed over the friendly troops around them and charged towards the Tiger Army. The rolling horse hooves hit the ground, making the ground tremble slightly.
Li Xing looked at the cavalry rushing over, turned to Li Laosi and said: "I didn't expect that the small country of North Korea also has cavalry."
Li Laosi nodded and said: "This cavalry looks quite capable, but it has no armor and cannot withstand the long-distance strikes of our new rifles."
Li Xing smiled and said: "How can the Koreans stop Big Brother's sharpshooter?"
Li Xing and Li Laosi were talking and laughing, and the North Korean cavalry had already rushed into the shooting range of the new rifles. Amidst the billowing smoke, the North Korean cavalry was only 400 meters away from the three rows of riflemen.
The riflemen aimed at the galloping North Korean cavalry and opened fire.
Li Xing deployed 4,000 new rifles with scopes on the front to fight the cavalry at a distance of 400 meters. These riflemen had a hit rate of 40 to 50%.
In later trench warfare and rifleman shooting, the hit rate of rifles was very low. That was because shooters in later generations hid behind bunkers to fight at long distances, and only occasionally exposed their heads outside the bunkers when shooting.
, shooting in a hurry. In such a battle, the shooting target is small and erratic. When shooting, if you shoot hastily under the pressure of the opponent, the hit rate will naturally be extremely low.
But in this era, in battles where cold-weapon enemies rush towards the Huben army, rifle shooting is a completely different matter. In order for enemies using cold weapons to rush to the front of the Huben army and engage in hand-to-hand combat, they must use a mass formation to rush into the formation.
.The riflemen opened fire on the enemy, which was like a sea of people. The entire enemy formation was a huge target.
As long as the bullet does not go too far up or down, the bullet will definitely hit the target. If it cannot hit the enemy that the rifleman is aiming at, it will hit the enemy next to or behind it. If it misses the person, it will hit the horse.
.The bullets shuttled through the dense cavalry queue. It was almost impossible to pass through the dense cavalry queue without hitting any target.
Moreover, the rifleman is completely free from the pressure of being attacked when shooting. He can aim and fire calmly, and the hit rate is naturally extremely high.
Amidst the crackling gunfire, four thousand riflemen fired one after another.
The bullet broke through the air of four hundred meters and penetrated into the cavalry formation without mercy. As soon as the rotating cone-shaped bullet touched the Koreans' cotton armor, it tore them apart and penetrated into the cavalry formation without mercy.
In the flesh and blood skin under the cotton armor.
In front of the Korean cavalry, a crowd of people fell on their backs.
Horse racing can run at high speeds of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, or even faster, but that is on a field without obstacles. On the battlefield, the situation on the ground is much more complicated. Not to mention the uneven terrain.
The ground, just the cavalry who fell off their horses in the front row and the war horses who were shot and fell to the ground, acted like stumbling blocks to prevent the cavalry from accelerating.
Once the rifles of the Tiger Army start firing, the cavalry in the rear row must constantly jump over obstacles on the ground, or go around in detours. In addition, the horses are frightened by the roar of cannons on the battlefield, and the resulting small-scale chaos, the war horses
The forward speed dropped significantly.
After the first few rows of cavalry fell, the cavalry behind continued to charge. But after only charging a few dozen meters, the riflemen equipped with new rifles loaded their bullets and fired again.
Another burst of gunfire sounded like exploding beans, and columns of bloody blood spurted out from the cavalrymen in the front rows. The blood was as cheap as water shot from a shower nozzle, spraying everywhere in front of the battlefield.
The riflemen only fired two rounds, and the cavalry in Hamgyong Province, North Korea, were stunned.
In terms of close combat, this cavalry undoubtedly has good combat effectiveness. The performance against the Japanese army is enough to illustrate the strength of this cavalry. However, these cavalry have never encountered such a one-sided battle at such a long distance.
They were killed on a large scale.
In the eyes of the cavalry, the soldiers of the Tiger Army more than 300 meters away are just black dots. And these black dots can incredibly slaughter the cavalry several hundred meters away.
Weapons that are beyond this era have such extraordinary striking effects. The North Korean cavalry are like boxers who were knocked down by their opponents with the first punch after taking the stage. How can they have the courage to continue fighting?
After being hit twice by the new rifles, the cavalrymen, who were beaten to the point where only more than 10,000 people were left, collapsed. The cavalrymen stared wide-eyed, huddled tightly on their horses, and fled to both sides in panic. As they fled,
While panicking, he looked at the rifleman in the distance, fearing that the rifleman would fire again.
However, the riflemen were still slaughtering the defeated cavalry.
Before the cavalry could escape to a safe distance, the rifles of the Tiger Army rang out again.
Another piece of cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
The surviving cavalrymen seemed to have seen a ghost. They even dropped their weapons and threw them under their horses. They just drove their horses frantically to run away. The more than 10,000 cavalrymen seemed to have seen a group of cats.
The mice ran away in panic.
Li Laosi shook his head and said: "North Korea's soldiers and horses are vulnerable to a single blow."
Li Xing laughed and looked at the Korean infantry in the distance with his binoculars.
Sure enough, in the shadow of the cavalry rout in Hamgyong Province, other North Korean troops collapsed one after another. The direct trigger for this rout was the cannon of the Tiger Army. No matter where the explosive shells hit, they would cause a large area.
There was a huge panic. In the dazzling sparks of the explosive bombs, groups of Korean infantrymen surged like ripples in the lake and fled in all directions.
The other 100,000 North Korean troops were all routed before they could reach the range of the riflemen.
At the Central Military Department of North Korea, the banner of Crown Prince Zhaoxian fell down. Apparently the top commander of the North Korean army also gave up and joined the fleeing army.
Li Laosi frowned, jumped on his horse and rushed forward. He personally led 3,000 cavalrymen of the Selected Front Division out into battle, intending to rush forward and kill the Korean prince.
Li Xing laughed, waved his hand and said: "The whole army will pursue you, and you will be rewarded with two taels of silver for each of your heads!"
