Valley Emperor

When the Tang army artillery opened fire, the Tatar cavalry who knew that the sharp artillery of the Tang army scattered all of a sudden, to reduce the casualties caused by these solid shells as much as possible, this is their instinctive reaction, and it is also a tactic that has been prepared long ago. .

You can't hold them together, and then be bombarded one by one by Tang Jun's artillery!

After this is spread out, as long as it is not unlucky, then there will be no big loss, and as for a small loss, they don't care!

No one is dead in a war!

After seeing the Tartar cavalry scattered, Chen Keqiao in the rear showed a smile. As expected, he successfully dispersed the enemy's cavalry formation through artillery bombardment.

Chen Keqiao wanted to disperse the enemy's cavalry for a very simple reason, that is, to minimize the concentration of troops of the Tartars in a fixed combat width, thereby reducing the number of bow and arrow projections per unit area, and at the same time. You can allow more flintlocks on your side to get the chance to fire, in order to increase the density of firepower.

Simply put, it is to reduce the firepower density of the enemy and increase the firepower density of your own!

The Tatars continued to charge forward, but the front of their charge had already expanded to more than 200 meters, and the depth had also become smaller.

Chen Keqiao is still smiling in the back!

He is not afraid of Chen Keqiao when the enemy takes the initiative to attack. What he is afraid of is that these enemy troops will not fight, then turn around and leave!

The Tatars continued to charge forward, and after about 100 meters away, they found that the Tang army on the opposite side did not shoot. Naturally, the Tatars also knew the basic tactics and range of muskets. They got the most from the Ming army. A small amount of muskets, knowing that the muskets can fire and cause effective damage at about 100 meters.

But Tang Jun on the opposite side did not dare to shoot!

They certainly didn't dare to shoot. The musket was difficult to reload. After firing the gun, their musket became a fire stick!

"Go ahead, rush up and shoot!"

Since Tang Jun didn't shoot, then they were welcome. They just took the opportunity to pass this period of time safely, and then rushed to the distance of fifty or sixty meters to shoot arrows.

However, when they rushed to about fifty or sixty meters and were about to release their arrows, the musketeers in front of them had already pulled the trigger under the command of the officers. Dozens of Tatar cavalry were knocked over on their horses in unison, and some of them were fine, but their horses were hit, and for the running cavalry, the cavalry himself was concentrated and the horse was hit , In fact, there is not much difference, they are all finished.

Row after row of Tatar cavalry fell, but they kept going!

Just wanting to stop them from the mere musket shooting, that's too underestimated!

Some of them also began to bend bows directly on horseback to shoot arrows, and a large number of arrows flew directly to the front of the Tang army formation, and then instantly caused many casualties of the Tang army musketeers.

Although most of the musketeers of the Tang Army were equipped with helmets and breastplates, after all, they were not full-body armor that could protect their entire body. If they were shot in the limbs and other positions that were not protected by armor, they would also be injured.

However, at this time, not only the Tang army musketeers in the front opened fire, but also the Tang army formations of several square formations on both sides were running for dozens of meters, and then opened fire on both sides of the Tartar cavalry.

Tang Bing's firepower is so fierce! This is the first feeling of many Tatars. Although they were attacked, the Tatars have many cavalry, and they will not be knocked down all at once, so they chose to turn!

The left and right sides are a bit dangerous. If you go around, there will not only be the Tang army formations that have protruded slightly on the left and right sides, but also on the left and right flanks, there are also several Tang army infantry squares, which will turn from their formations and rush past. ,a bit dangerious.

The leading Tatar generals also saw many square formations of the Tang army in front at this time, and the distance between them was very large. This is an obvious loophole. Their cavalry can completely pass through it, avoid the firepower directly in front, and then reach them. kill the enemy from behind.

In this way, it is even possible to break through the enemy's array in one fell swoop!

Immediately under the leadership of these Tatar generals, the Tatar cavalry attacked with bows and arrows directly on the horses, while instigating the horses to turn around, and then rushed towards the gap between the many Tang army infantry formations in front!

In this scene, watching Chen Keqiao is ecstatic on the spot, Nima, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity that I can't even imagine!

At first, he just wanted to use artillery to force the cavalry of the Tartars to disperse, and then directly kill them with frontal firepower. The big deal is to bear their bows and arrows, but even if it is one exchange, he will make money!

If his 5th Infantry Division was killed or wounded, new recruits could be replenished immediately, but the Tatar cavalry on the opposite side was killed or wounded. Chen Keqiao really wanted to know, how could they replenish it quickly?

Now the Tatars are actually rushing in on their own initiative, this is a good opportunity to fall from the sky!

Before, the cavalry of the Ming army rushed through the phalanx of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the square phalanx of the arquebusier troops, and the firepower was even weaker. However, this was the case. At that time, the cavalry of the Ming army was also severely injured.

Now the Tatars are also rushing in. Do they really think that the gaps between the many four-cornered squares are the passage they use to break through?

That is not the passage of breakthrough, but the passage of death!

However, these, the Tatars who faced the hollow phalanx of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty for the first time did not know!

So in order to avoid the frontal firepower, when they chose to rush in through the passage between the hollow squares, the situation opposite them was different from what they expected!

Because at this time, they saw a scene that almost made them desperate: the Tang army on both sides turned out to be holding muskets and fired at them, and what was even more terrifying was that there was another Tang army formation in front of them. The musketeers in front also opened fire!

The Tartar cavalry that rushed into the gap between the squares turned out to be facing fire from the front, the left and the right at the same time!

Even if the musket fires slower, the concentrated firepower still causes the Tatar cavalry in the middle to suffer heavy casualties in an instant!

At this moment, the Tartar cavalry who entered the Tang army's many square formations only felt that the muskets of the Tang army were attacking them in all directions. In fact, this was not their illusion, but a fact!

Although the Tatar cavalry on horseback also fought back with bows and arrows, the number of Tatar cavalry who came to test the attack was not many, the total number was only 2,000. Some losses were lost on the road before, and then scattered Now, the rushing into the Datang phalanx was also divided into several directions, resulting in a small number of Tartar cavalry in each passage.

Although their archery skills are good, their strength is small, and the Tang musketeers on the opposite side also have helmets and breastplates for protection, which reduces casualties to a certain extent.

What's more, archery also requires physical strength. If you shoot arrows continuously, your physical fitness will decline rapidly. Even the most elite step archer, who shoots more than ten arrows in a row, is basically unable to shoot any more arrows, and can always maintain high continuous archery. Archers or mounted archers, that doesn't exist at all.

As a result, the Tatar cavalry that rushed in is now, and this scene is different from what they expected!

Although the musketeers of the Tang army continued to fall, the cavalry of the Tartars fell faster and even more!

More importantly, these Tartar cavalrymen who rushed in could not find their way out for a while. After being forced to turn continuously, the speed of the war horses also slowed down.

And once the cavalry is lost, is it still the cavalry?

At this time, Briggood's face in the back was ashen, what's going on?

He doesn't understand something!

During the attack of his own 2,000 cavalry, the Tang army's infantry phalanx did not collapse. This was normal. It was within his expectations. After all, the Tang army numbered tens of thousands. As long as the formation did not move, the two thousand cavalry would take them without way.

But their cavalry would suffer such heavy losses, and after rushing in, there was a possibility of being surrounded. Those Tang army's infantry phalanx were moving slowly, trying to block the way of the cavalry in the formation.

Seeing that it was only a few tens of seconds, the cavalrymen who rushed in had already lost hundreds of front and rear, and I am afraid that it will not take long for the 2,000 cavalry to be completely damaged.

No, it can't be dragged on any longer, the cavalry must be brought back!

Immediately, he didn't hesitate too much, he just gave the order to charge, and this time he also learned the lesson of the previous 2,000 cavalry, and must not take the initiative to charge into the seemingly safe, but in fact, extremely dangerous square formation channel between.

He will use a more straightforward and direct way to attack the Tang army's phalanx and bring back the remaining more than a thousand cavalry!

So while leading the cavalry forward, he shouted loudly: "Form a formation, don't spread out, go straight up and shoot arrows, then rush up and dash away from their phalanx!"

The firepower of Tang Jun on the opposite side is really too powerful, which is different from the previous rumors!

He had seen the infantry phalanx of the Ming army. It is said that the infantry phalanx of the Ming army and the phalanx of the Tang army were almost exactly the same. They both used arquebuses and spears, and the ratio was about fifty to five.

However, the Tang army on the opposite side had no spearmen, but all muskets, and their muskets did not use arquebuses, and the musketeers were arranged very closely.

In this way, the firepower of this Tang army is at least three times stronger than the firepower of the Ming army he has seen!

It is too dangerous to shoot against the Tang army with such powerful firepower. The defeat of the 2,000 cavalry in front is a proof. Although our own cavalry and shooting are powerful, their muskets are not bad.

If you shoot directly, even if you can win, I am afraid that your own side will be killed and injured a lot. The power of the musket on the opposite side is too powerful, and you will be finished with a single bullet, and this is not what Briggood wants!

However, let the opposing phalanx look very flimsy and forcibly rush up, Briggood has a hundred confidence to break through their frontal phalanx!

The front is just three rows of musketeers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A charge can break through!

Seeing the more than 8,000 Tatar cavalry rushing up on the opposite side, Chen Keqiao in the rear all gasped!

The Tatar general on the opposite side is very decisive!

This time, I am afraid that my Fifth Infantry Division will suffer heavy casualties!

Infantry forcibly confronted cavalry, even if they could win, it would be a tragic victory, not to mention that the opponent was a charge of ten thousand cavalry!

But still the same sentence, he, or the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty, is not afraid to fight the war of attrition with the enemy cavalry!
