Yang Jun was a little annoyed. The other party did not flee in panic or surrender immediately when he saw his army. It seemed that he wanted to fight. This made Yang Jun feel disrespected.
"Why don't they run away in a hurry? Are they going to fight me?" Yang Jun asked with narrowed eyes.
"Sir, it seems so. They seem to be blocking my cavalry's charge." The general next to him replied.
"Hahahaha." All the generals laughed as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Everyone, please don't take it lightly. Lord Lin has the talent to lead. Don't forget that it was Lord Lin's contribution to quelling the rebellion of the religious bandits. Lord Lin has done it before with hundreds of cavalry rushing through an array of tens of thousands of people." Someone reminded him.
.
Yang Jun turned to glare at the general and said coldly: "You mean, we are as vulnerable as the bandits?"
The general was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I don't dare to do this for a humble position. I'm just for a humble position... just a reminder, don't underestimate the enemy."
Yang Jun angrily rebuked: "Underestimating the enemy? Is that considered an enemy? I know that there are people in your army who regard Lin Jue as a god. Especially after the rebellion was suppressed, some people privately praised Lin Jue to the heavens and admired him so much. What do you mean by being both civil and military?
What is unparalleled in wisdom and bravery? Some people say that he is the number one general in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Hehe, if he is the number one general, then who does this old man count? And who is the general of the Zhenxi Army Company? Who do you all count? I originally thought that this
This sub-argument is only circulated among the Guards and Infantry Division. After all, they once fought with Lin Jue, so it is understandable to praise him. But I didn’t expect that there are such people in the Guards and Horse Division, which really surprises me.”
The general felt that his words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and he quickly confessed again.
Yang Jun turned to look at the hundreds of people standing on the street on horseback in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "A mantis's arm is like a chariot, and a cricket is shaking a tree. You don't overestimate your own capabilities. Today I will let you see who you think is the number one general in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
How can he be begging for mercy under the iron hoofs of my cavalry? Let’s see how he can withstand the charge of my army. Generals, charge as a whole team. After taking down Lin Jue and Prince Liang and his son, we can withdraw our troops and return to the camp to rest.
.Such a trivial matter has been delayed for too long, and I’m already feeling sleepy.”
The orders were sounded continuously and the hoofbeats were noisy. In a short period of time, the cavalry was ready to charge. Due to the limited width of the street, only more than twenty cavalry could line up abreast. But it didn’t matter. In the face of absolute strength, any so-called
In fact, the elements of war are not that important. Bullshit like the right time and place are not the decisive factor in this situation. The comparison of the strength of the two sides is not comparable at all, five or six thousand cavalry plus more than 4,000 infantry in the square
, and the opponent's total attack force is less than a thousand people. This is a completely one-sided situation.
Soon, the first group of 1,500 cavalry launched a charge. The iron hooves of the war horses rushed like a storm on the bluestone ground. The horses fed with fine feed were strong and powerful, and they ran powerfully. The cavalry on the horses were also well-trained.
, half-lying on the horse's back, raised the long sword high. Like an approaching dark cloud, it was swift and unstoppable.
In front, Lin Jue led the Lin family guards and hundreds of palace guards to stand on horseback. They raised their repeating crossbows, powerful crossbows, and bows and arrows, and were ready to attack. When the opponent's cavalry entered a distance of 150 steps,
Lin Jue burst out with a loud shout.
"Fire the arrow!"
Buzz buzz! Puff puff! The beating sound of the bow string is like the rapid speed of wasp wings.
The inciting sound of the agitation made people have goosebumps all over their bodies. Lin Jue and others were arranged in a three-dimensional formation to meet the attack. In the cross-section, where only twenty or thirty knights could be parallel, as long as they staggered the formation, they could maximize the launch limit.
Crossbow arrows. What's more, some of the palace guards are kneeling, squatting or standing on the ground. This up and down three-dimensional, front and back cross formation can fire more than two hundred crossbow arrows at one time. On such a narrow street
, and when almost all of them are attacked in a straight line, the damage caused is so terrifying.
This is like having several machine guns set up at a narrow intersection. They shoot across each other without any blind spots. Anyone who rushes forward will definitely be hit.
The lead time is also calculated extremely accurately. The shooting starts at a distance of 150 steps, which is the limit distance of the crossbow. It has even exceeded the limit distance of the repeating crossbow. However, by the time the crossbow is shot and arrives, the opponent's cavalry has already advanced two steps.
In more than ten steps, he was just within the range of the crossbow.
But I saw blood flowers blooming on the bodies of the cavalrymen and horses in the front row of the charging cavalry. Under the dim street lights, the blossoming blood flowers were as beautiful and poignant as the flowers of the other side blooming on the bodies of the cavalry. But every blood flower,
It represents blood and violence, death and pain.
It was like a huge ghost sickle sweeping across the grass. When the rain of arrows came, more than thirty riders in the front row all fell down. The horses rolled on the ground, and the riders were thrown into the sky, and then screamed.
He fell heavily to the ground. The ground was full of rolling horses and riders, and the situation was terrible.
All this was not over yet. The second round of arrow rain struck mercilessly. More cavalry were rolling in the pool of blood on the ground, screaming. The bluestone ground was soon infected with blood and turned into darkness.
color.
Yang Jun and others at the rear had expressionless faces. This kind of scene had actually been expected. Cavalry charges are always accompanied by such cruel scenes. The opponent's crossbows always cause casualties to the cavalry. However, this does not mean that the battle
Everyone knows that a cavalry charge has a distance. Before it hits the enemy's formation, it is the stage of being passively beaten. Even if it rushes in front of the enemy's formation, it will still encounter the killings of the horse-repelling formation and the spear formation. But in
After breaking into the enemy's formation, the cavalry massacre begins. Before that, the price must be paid.
Although the people were on their backs and the ground was covered with blood. In just a few moments, more than a hundred cavalry died on the charging road. However, Yang Jun knew that the opponent would shoot at most four to five rounds of arrows from this distance, and then his own cavalry would rush towards them.
In front of us, everything will be over by then. There may be hundreds of casualties, but this is a price that must be paid.
As Yang Jun expected, even with the ferocious firepower of Lin Jue and others, there were still fish that slipped through the net. After five rounds of arrows, the charging cavalry rushed thirty steps in front of the enemy's line. The 1,500 cavalrymen only suffered casualties.
There are more than 400 people. As long as the remaining cavalry breaks into the enemy formation, it will be a massacre. Moreover, the second batch of 1,000 cavalry has already begun to charge. There is no doubt that the next time will be the time to crush and slaughter. Yang Jun
Seeing this, he even smiled and reached out to stroke his beard.
"Get ready! Launch!" Facing the cavalry that was just around the corner, Lin Jue calmly gave the order.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The continuous roar is like the sound of thunder when a rainstorm is approaching, shaking the earth and deafening. In the darkness of rising black smoke, dozens of sparks bloom. The overwhelming iron marbles are like dense hail.
, blocking the entire street. There are no blind spots, no omissions. Even
Mosquitoes flying in the air may not be able to escape this dense barrage.
Dozens of bastard boxes were launched at the same time, causing thousands of iron marbles to form a dense barrage. The next moment, these iron marbles stirred up countless flesh and blood and penetrated countless flesh and blood bodies. If the opponent can
The reason for rushing to the front of the formation in the rain of arrows is firstly because the cavalry charges extremely fast, and secondly because the crossbows are not powerful enough and often cannot cause an absolute kill to the cavalry wearing fine armor. So, at this moment
At a distance of twenty steps, within the effective shooting range of the Bastard Box, the power of these iron marbles is more powerful than that of bows and arrows.
Although the armor is sophisticated, it is difficult to defeat the power of firearms. As long as the cavalry and war horses rushing forward touch them, a bloody flower will bloom, and they will be penetrated by these iron bullets. This is the most domineering and powerful anti-cavalry force.
The sharp weapon, the fine iron bullets, can not only kill all the cavalry in the front row, but also get through the gap between the horses and the cavalry and knock down the cavalry in the rear.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The tortoise box is still firing continuously. The continuous firing of the musket is a revolution. The continuous firing of the musket multiplies the power of the musket. You don't have to worry about not being able to load the ammunition in time. Five consecutive rounds.
The magazine issued allows you to fire five shots in a row. Even if there are ten or eight people standing in front of you, you don't have to worry about not having time to change the medicine bag.
Guns roared, horses neighed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. Everyone stared at all this in stunned silence, until everything calmed down and the smoke cleared, and a doomsday-like scene appeared in front of everyone.
Within a distance of thirty steps in front of Lin Jue and others, the corpses of men and horses piled up like mountains, with pieces of flesh and blood scattered all over the ground. There was still smoke rising from their corpses. Some people were wailing and squirming inside the corpses. The injured horses
It neighed and rolled on the ground. The blood gathered into a stream and flowed into the culvert next to the street, even making a splashing sound.
Of the 1,500 charging cavalry, except for the more than 100 people who reined in their horses and turned around when the situation was dire, almost none of them could still stand on the ground. They were all killed by arrows and muskets.
Yang Jun stared at all this with his mouth open. His heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and it hurt so much. He couldn't believe that all of this was true. What kind of firearm was it? It was so powerful. It could actually be used at extreme speeds.
In a short period of time, they killed all the cavalry who charged in front of their formation. The distance was only twenty or thirty steps. For the cavalry, it was just a matter of a moment of galloping, but even within these twenty steps, it was like...
It is as insurmountable as the gate of hell. Everyone dies at this gate.
Not only did everyone on Yang Jun's side drop their jaws in shock, but Lin Jue's side, the palace guards, and even the Lin family nursing staff did not expect the power of firearms to be so ferocious. Even Lin Jue himself saw this for the first time.
The power of the mass launch of large-scale firearms. At this moment, his ears were still ringing and his heart was pounding. But it was obvious that his prediction had worked. This was Lin Jue's last trump card. If the firearms could not stop it, then
They all died here today.
Of course, Lin Jue knew that the reason for such results was actually the terrain of today's battle. The narrow terrain made it possible for one's own firearms to be fired intensively. If fighting in the wild and being surrounded from all sides, there would be no way to recover.
The opponent suffered a disadvantage because they could not fully utilize their military strength, and they did not even think that they had such means. Therefore, it was definitely a mistake to one-sidedly believe that firearms were invincible. Lin Jue clearly understood this.
