Chapter 181 Disdain to have general knowledge with Guang'an cavalry
Lin Ziran set up a posture in Nanguang City, waiting for the Guangnan people to go south.
The Guang'an Second Army led by Li Kun was not timid at all, and even made high preparations for the battle to go south. While its heavy artillery troops and the main infantry force were still in Chongguang City, a large number of its cavalry troops had already entered the plains south of Chongguang City.
area, and frequently appeared outside Nanguang City for reconnaissance.
"These Guang'an people are so arrogant!" Lin Ziran looked at a few sporadic Guang'an scouts galloping on war horses outside the city, and snorted coldly: "How dare you get close within three hundred meters!"
Lin Ziran turned back to Scar: "Organize some good guys and let me take aim!"
Scar immediately said: "I obey my orders!"
Immediately, Scar quickly gathered his men. He temporarily transferred dozens of soldiers with relatively accurate marksmanship from various units to prepare to hunt down those daring Guang'an scouts.
Soon, the sound of gunfire gradually appeared on the top of the city. It was not a unified and dense gunfire, but sporadic gunfire, but it continued to sound.
After the gunshots rang out intermittently, Bao Qiyuan, who was in the Guang'an reconnaissance cavalry team more than 300 meters outside the city, immediately turned his horse's head without saying a word, and at the same time urged the horse to gallop towards the rear.
At that time, he was still walking in a zigzag line, but did not run straight towards the rear.
At the same time, he kept cursing the leading officer in his mind!
He has long said that he cannot ride horses to conduct reconnaissance so openly. Even if he only has a few people, spread out, and use high-speed maneuvers, the opponent will certainly not fight for them with a few scattered and difficult to hit enemies.
Scouting is a waste of shells.
But their infantry are not afraid of wasting bullets!
He knew the Luo An army on the opposite side and had fought against it. It was Lin Ziran's men and horses. He also knew that Lin Ziran had a lot of human hunters, and the effective range could even exceed 400 meters.
But the captain of the cavalry team refused to listen and said that Bao Qiyuan was timid and afraid of death!
I'm afraid of death? You're kidding!
When I followed Mr. Fang Yuan and Xinfang deep into the enemy's rear to attack the Luo An Army's logistics line, you were still huddled in the hinterland.
Unfortunately, I heard that Master Fang offended his superiors and was demoted, and their cavalry regiments were split up, otherwise he wouldn't have been transferred here.
The captain did not listen to his advice and thought that the distance of more than 300 meters was safe enough.
But now you are an idiot!
Bao Qiyuan secretly despised him while riding his horse wildly.
But at this time, there was a huge impact force behind his back, followed by severe pain.
The impact force and pain made it impossible for him to stay on the high-speed horse. He fell directly from the horse's back, and then hit the ground hard. His whole body continued to roll, and then he felt a heavy blow to his head. Such a heavy blow made him
He fell completely into darkness.
Before he fell into darkness, he had only one thought in his mind: "It's over... he was killed by that idiot captain."
The idiot captain he called ran all the way, but in the end he couldn't escape the covering fire of dozens of marksmen. The distance was more than 300 meters, which was within the optimal killing range for the Mini rifle.
It's difficult to aim if it's too far away, and it won't be able to take advantage of the mini rifle's range advantage if it's too close.
Because in the training drills of the supplementary brigade, there are different shooting ranges for different targets and different situations. If it is to attack a large area target, such as the enemy's line infantry square, coverage shooting is often used, and the effective range can reach 400 meters.
above.
However, if you want to get a higher hit, this distance often has to be reduced to 350 meters.
If it is less than 200 meters, because the distance is too close, the enemy will quickly rush up to shorten the distance.
Therefore, in large-scale operations, the optimal range of the mini rifles of the supplementary brigade is between 200 meters and 350 meters.
Even if it is difficult to aim at a small target, you can still get a hit through fire coverage. If one shot is not enough, you can use ten or a hundred shots. You can still hit it even if you rely on probability.
Whether it was Bao Qiyuan or the idiot captain he called, they all died under the guns of the supplementary brigade.
In order to kill the Guang'an reconnaissance cavalry, which only had about ten cavalry, Luo Mazi took more than 80 people with the best marksmanship to take turns shooting. There were even people behind to help them reload, and the shooting method of changing guns without changing people allowed them to shoot every time.
Each person fired five or six bullets in just half a minute.
Although they were not able to keep all of them, they were able to kill five of them, effectively deterring these arrogant Guang'an scouts.
In response, Lin Ziran looked at the soldiers with a smile: "Okay, it seems that the brothers did not waste time on training. Very good. All brothers who participate in the mission will be rewarded with half a month's salary!"
Although the small battle just now was small, it was still the first confrontation between the supplementary brigade and the Guang'an Second Army. It was necessary to take this opportunity to boost morale.
After several of the Guang'an reconnaissance cavalry were killed, they restrained themselves a lot. Most of them still stopped a few kilometers away and did not move forward. Although small groups of troops would also move forward, they were sneaky and used the terrain to get closer, but they did not have the courage to go directly.
Riding on the horse, he rode forward for a stroll.
To this!
Lin Ziran said: You guys do whatever you want, I don’t even bother to be acquainted with you.
Even if he wanted to be on par with these Guang'an cavalry, he wouldn't be able to do so.
Guang'an's cavalry was dispatched by a cavalry regiment with several hundred cavalry. Lin Ziran only had a hundred and fifty hussars and more than two hundred dragoons under his command, which combined was not as large as his cavalry regiment.
If you don't like the sight of the cavalry regiment several kilometers outside the city, there's nothing you can do about it.
It is impossible to fight, and no one wants to die in vain!
At most, they can only send some dragoons to engage in kiting tactics, but this is aimed at Guang'an's scattered cavalry, and will not take the initiative to travel thousands of kilometers to play with the enemy's large cavalry.
I know my own business, and the kite tactic sounds wonderful, but in terms of the cavalry quality and horses of the 2nd Cavalry Company, it is still too difficult to fight with the traditional light cavalry.
Because when they stopped to shoot three hundred meters away on their Shayang horses, the hussars came over with a direct charge. When they got close, whether they used a six-shot revolver or simply a saber, they could
Easily kill the 2nd Cavalry Company.
So at most, they can only send a few elite dragoons to fight against the scattered enemy reconnaissance cavalry. If they have a chance, they can fire a shot and run away. If they don't have a chance, that's it.
Let them figure it out on their own!
Anyway, the Nanguang Defense Line is not a secret defense line. People in Guang'an know many situations, such as the deployment location of artillery. There are only two main batteries that can deploy heavy artillery, and it is basically impossible to deploy them elsewhere.
And people from Guang'an knew about this a few years ago.
After waiting for the Guang'an cavalry outside the city for another two days, the main force of the Guang'an people finally arrived!
