Not only Hao Ren was shocked, but Fang Yuanxin in the Guang'an Cavalry opposite was also shocked.
When he saw casualties among his own cavalry, his first reaction was that he had been shelled by the enemy just like before.
But he soon realized that this was not a bombardment at all.
Because he had clearly seen it before, the other side only fired one shot and caused a small number of casualties to his side.
What followed was a crisp sound of gunfire from the opposite vehicle formation, and at the same time a burst of white smoke floated out of the opposite vehicle formation. This was undoubtedly the sound of musket fire.
but!
Why did the other side just fire a shot and our own side suffered casualties?
Could it be that there were a lot of troops firing on the opposite side, and all of them were sharpshooters? The bullets they fired flew over 400 meters and caused damage to our own side?
Or is it that the other side is covered?
He can't figure it out!
Because this situation was beyond his knowledge of military common sense.
It is simply impossible for a musket to kill the enemy at such a long distance!
Although he couldn't figure it out, the casualties were not too many, so he continued to charge forward with the cavalry. They had already entered the stage of speeding up and charging, and it was impossible to stop.
And as long as he rushes forward and defeats these Luoan thieves, he will be able to understand why his cavalry suffered casualties just now.
But soon, gunfire rang out again from the opposite side. It was not as neat and dense as the previous ones, but seemed a little sparse. However, after the clear gunshots, people in his cavalry formation began to fall down on the way to charge.
Already.
This issue!
A little weird!
In Guang'an Army, Fang Yuanxin's expression became serious at this time!
But even so, he had no reason to stop, because at this time they had already rushed within more than two hundred meters, and they would be able to kill them in a short time.
And this is indeed the case. Lin Ziran commanded the soldiers in the patrol camp. They didn't even have time to fire a few shots, and before they could use the long-distance precision shooting of their rifled guns, the cavalry had already charged forward.
At this time, Lin Ziran truly felt the power of the cavalry charge.
These cavalry did not directly attack the defense convoy formation of the patrol battalion where Lin Ziran was located, nor did they attack the formation where Hao Ren led more than fifty heavy troops to garrison. Instead, they attacked those who had not yet had time to form a formation, or who only had a few soldiers.
There is only one carriage, and only the small carriage formation defended by civilians.
When these cavalrymen rushed in, the scene could be described as bloody!
Hundreds of cavalrymen waved their sabers and chopped down to the ground one by one the civilians and scattered soldiers who had not yet had time to form their formation.
When encountering a formation of small vehicles, they would also have revolvers and attack from a high position, killing the civilians or soldiers one by one.
The screams instantly echoed throughout the battlefield, and Lin Ziran was stunned!
Although he has not experienced war in this world, in the previous defensive operations and rescue operations in Qingshan Town, his side used rifled guns to shoot unilaterally from a distance, and he never had close contact with the enemy.
But now, those Guang'an cavalry were not far away from him, the nearest one was even seven or eight meters away. They passed by the large car array where Lin Ziran was, not stopping, and slashed and killed as they passed.
Flesh and blood are flying everywhere, and life is disappearing continuously!
When Lin Ziran saw a Guang'an cavalry with his own eyes, he easily used his saber to pull on the neck of a baggage soldier. Using the huge impact of the horse, the saber instantly cut off more than half of the neck, leaving only the smaller half still connected.
, the blood arrow sprayed out a full meter away!
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Lin Ziran was a little stunned.
Is this a war?
In the two lifetimes before and after, whether on earth or in this world, Lin Ziran had never truly felt the cruelty of war before. Even after watching many real and tragic war movies on earth, even in this world.
I have led people into two battles.
However, this was still the first time that Lin Ziran felt the cruelty of war!
At this moment, Lin Ziran even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
But he endured it and waved the command knife vigorously: "Quick, reload!"
"Free Fire!"
At this time, it is redundant to do anything else, and it is also redundant to say anything else.
The only thing he can do now is to direct the soldiers to continue loading and then shoot!
Relying on the car formation, the Guang'an cavalry outside could not get in, and they did not stupidly ram the carriage directly, but they began to fight back at the car formation with revolver smoothbore pistols.
These cavalrymen were all mounted on horses. They were high up and would not be blocked by the carriages. As long as they got close, they could easily focus the soldiers under Lin Ziran's command with their smoothbore pistols.
Casualties are starting to appear!
Even a guard next to Lin Ziran was shot in the neck by a pistol bullet from the Guang'an cavalry, and blood sprayed all over Lin Ziran's face!
Lin Ziran reached out and touched the greasy blood on his face, and then shouted again: "Hold still and stay hidden!"
Now the two sides are competing in shooting. Although the opponent's pistol can fire multiple times continuously, our own side has a carriage as an obstacle.
The ordinary wooden boards on the carriage cannot stop bullets, but the carriages are loaded with goods, and these goods can stop bullets.
No matter how bad it is, these carriages can block the sight of enemy cavalry.
Even Lin Ziran himself did not dare to stand up and continued to ride on the horse. Instead, he dismounted and stood behind a thick carriage, holding a smoothbore pistol in his hand.
He saw the first Guang'an cavalry galloping past not far away. When the Guang'an cavalry raised his pistol and tried to shoot, Lin Ziran took the lead and fired first.
After the crisp gunfire, the Guang'an cavalry on the opposite side fell off their horses.
A few seconds later, Lin Ziran fired again, and another Guang'an cavalry fell.
Not only Lin Ziran, but also Luo Mazi and others began to rely on the carriage and then counterattacked the Guang'an cavalry outside.
At this time, Fang Yuanxin, the doctor of Guang'an Middle School outside, looked around the battlefield. When he saw that more than ten cavalrymen on his side had fallen outside the cart formation not far away, he immediately said: "Don't be infatuated with fighting.
Set fire and retreat!"
Cavalry, what they need is speed!
If you stop and engage in shooting with the musketeers backed by carriages, you will undoubtedly suffer a loss!
After he gave the order, the Guang'an cavalry came and went as fast as they came.
Soon they withdrew several hundred meters, but Fang Yuanxin had a dark look on his face after preliminary counting of their number.
He had no idea that his side had performed so perfectly in the previous battle, which could be called a textbook battle in which cavalry attacked transport troops.
