Chapter 53: The Autumn is High and the Horse is Fat (17) Bloody Dawn (Part 1)

 Kitard and the others came very slowly.

Ordinarily, Rahim had already started, and they should speed up the pace, but he did not do so.

After slowly arriving near the east gate, the cavalry team of two thousand people suddenly dispersed!

At this time, all the Manjit cavalry, who had already discovered that the enemy was arriving, had already come forward to meet them.

There are three thousand Manjit cavalry, including one thousand heavy cavalry, and there are only two thousand Chitards. They gathered together and came around from the southwest corner of the city. The Turkmen infantry was already entering the city quickly.

According to the normal situation, it is impossible to repel the Manjit cavalry blocking the way before all the infantry enter the city.

However, the moment the Torgut cavalry dispersed, a small troop inside was immediately let out!

An artillery unit of two hundred people!

Just when they crossed the corner of the city, the two hundred cavalrymen had all dismounted and were carrying artillery respectively. The ammunition was hidden in the cavalry brigade!

Just as the Truchin cavalry moved forward slowly and attracted the enemy cavalry, the artillerymen had already set up their positions!

Twenty 100-pound artillery pieces are placed in a row.

However, at this time, the thousand-heavy cavalry on the opposite side had already launched. Although they also felt something abnormal in the dark night, for them who had gradually increased their speed, there was no way out once they launched.

The Manjit cavalry, wrapped in heavy armor, is already close at hand!

"Boom..."

It is this kind of small cannon that is very convenient to deploy that makes it possible for Kitard to complete the bombardment when the enemy is right in front of him.

The eight artillery pieces roared together, and a pack of fifty shot shells from each artillery piece formed the largest barrage exactly 30 meters ahead after being discharged. When the eight artillery pieces were fired together, they could cover a width of about 200 meters in front.

place!

In an instant, all the heavy cavalry rushing at the front fell to the ground with a "pounce" sound!

But the Manjit people did not retreat and could not retreat. When the heavy cavalry charged, it would be suicide to stop suddenly.

"Boom..."

The second wave of six artillery fired another salvo!

Another crowd of people fell on their backs!

"Boom..."

The last six guns of the third wave fired, and at this time, the first eight artillery guns were loaded again!

However, as the cavalry in front fell one after another, the speed of the heavy cavalry behind finally slowed down. They realized that they could not charge hard, so they divided into two groups, avoiding the artillery directly opposite and rushing toward the cavalry on both sides.

!

What they didn't expect was that a mere 100-pound tiger and rabbit could adjust its position on the battlefield at any time. However, for the Truqin artillery, it was extremely dangerous to complete the turn in front of the dark heavy cavalry.

"Boom..."

When the distance was only ten meters, four artillery pieces on each side finally fired!

Then there is the second wave and the third wave. As mentioned before, the heavy cavalry can adjust the direction, but once the turn is completed, it is impossible to turn again in a short time.

After another "three-stage attack" of artillery was completed, all the heavy cavalry on the field finally stopped.

In the six rounds of artillery bombardment just now, at least half of their troops lost their combat effectiveness.

The coverage area of ​​the shotgun is too large, or it covers the front, rear, left, right, up and down without blind spots. Even if the men and horses cannot be killed immediately, there is still a high probability of hitting the exposed legs of the war horses!

In this case, it won't be the row at the front that suffers, but it may hit several rows at the back.

"Boom..."

Just when they were hesitating, the artillery fired again. This time the ten artillery returned to the original angle of being lined up, and solid bullets were also used!

If solid bullets are fired, some ranges of the 100-pound artillery can be comparable to that of muskets.

As a result, the heavy cavalry who had retreated to the back were once again disappointed. When two kilograms of solid bullets came galloping towards them, they could break down a one-foot-thick city wall, let alone a body of flesh and blood?

Although the Manjit people had seen artillery, the Persians had slow, heavy, and slow-firing artillery. They had never seen artillery that could be easily carried by artillerymen. In the dark, their teammates in front of them were killed and injured one after another.

In the end, what they bring to them will not be courage.

But fear!

"Boom..."

After the second round of ten solid bullets was fired, the Manjit people with strong faith finally collapsed. They turned their horses and ran back.

"Boom..."

This time, Kitard did not let the artillery load any projectiles, but empty shells, in order to continue to drive the heavy cavalry towards the east gate.

He was lucky. First out of fear and secondly because it was dark, the heavy cavalry were obviously in a panic and rushed into the Turkmen infantry who were still lining up to enter the city!

Kitard looked at all this coldly, and then patted Chu Huer's shoulder beside him.

"The next step is up to you"

Chu Huer nodded, looking determined.

At this time, the bright moon that had been covered by dark clouds finally showed its head, and the appearance of Chu Huer and others were also revealed.

It turned out that he was accompanied by three hundred riders.

As a future time traveler, Kitard will obviously not be equipped with armor in large quantities at this time, but naturally it is not completely absent.

In autumn, the night temperature in the Khiva Oasis is only about ten degrees, and eating watermelon around the stove is a true portrayal of them.

Compared with other cavalry, Chu Huer and others are all bulging, and they are obviously wearing armor.

Since the establishment of the Truchen Army, Kitard has only prepared 500 sets of cotton armor. This time, he only brought 300 sets, all of which were equipped for the warriors headed by Chu Huer.

In addition, each of these three hundred armored soldiers also has two short muskets, two knives, a saber, and a long sword for infantry combat!

In addition, each person is also equipped with a shield!

Chu Huer launched, and the Don hippos of the same color, although there were not many in number, still rushed towards the east city gate like a black wave!

When the Manjit heavy cavalry realized that the enemy had given them a fair chance to fight, it was already too late. If they turned their horses' heads and came back to fight at this time, they would not have enough time and would not have the blessing of horse speed.

Without the blessing of speed, heavy cavalry is a target.

"Bang..."

This was not the sound of gunfire, but the sound of Chuhuer's heavy cavalry hitting the Turkmen infantry who were still charging towards the city.

At this time, due to the impact of the heavy cavalry in front, a gap appeared in the last section of the infantry team. Chu Huer led two hundred cavalry to fight through the gap!

The remaining one hundred cavalry continued to charge towards the heavy cavalry who were still running wildly.

At this time, Kitard also launched, and he targeted the Turkmen infantry and another two thousand cavalry who were still outside!

Apart from the capital city, the cities of the Khiva Khanate could not have moats, nor could the city gates have thousand-jin gates. Under the impact of Chu Huer's "heavy" cavalry, the infantry blocking the door in front fell to the ground one after another.

Chu Huer led two hundred riders and rushed into the city on top of their bodies!

Not to mention that the people in the city did not expect this scene, not even Rashim did not expect it.

For Rasim, his goal is naturally to significantly weaken the effective strength of the Manjit people. It is best to occupy the city of Chimboi and replace the position of the Manjit people and become one of the four new tribes.

For Kitard, it is no longer possible to attack Kungel, so taking the city of Chimboy is a must option!

After rushing into the city gate, Chu Huer continued to charge forward with a hundred cavalry, while the other hundred cavalry dismounted one after another, and then divided into two groups.

Fifty people held shields in their left hands and held long knives in their right hands and rushed up along the corridor to the city wall!

Something happened suddenly. Before the defenders on the wall of Chimboi City could react, the first Truchen warrior had already rushed onto the wall!

"Bang..."

Only then did they react and fired their muskets!

The first warrior fell, but he was only "knocked down" by the dense projectiles, rather than injured or killed. He quickly stood up, and then rushed towards the defenders who were still busy loading ammunition.

"Bang..."

There was another burst of gunfire, and this time he finally fell, and a lead bullet hit his head.

However, at this time, more than a dozen warriors had already rushed up. The Khiva city wall was only two meters wide and there was no gate tower, so they arranged them in a row of three people on both sides, leaving a large gap in the middle.

space.

And use shields to form a temporary front. At this time, you can throw grenades outside. After a roar, the warrior hiding behind put the shield behind his back, and then took out his musket.

As all fifty warriors climbed up to the city wall, they were divided into two groups. They all carried rear-mounted flintlock muskets and wanted to attack on both sides. When they encountered scattered enemies, they shot at them on the spot.
p>

If they encounter a group of enemies, they will once again use shields to form a defense line as before and hide behind and bombard them with grenades. As a result, the warriors on both sides are getting deeper and deeper into the distance of the city wall.

Inside the city, Chu Huer caught up with the Turkmen infantry who had already entered the city, so naturally they had to rush over at high speed.

Finally, they arrived at a military camp.

The door of the military camp was closed with a bang as the last Turkmen infantry entered.

Chu Huer nervously thought about the countermeasures, and after a while, he still rode back to the city gate.

Outside the city, one hundred Truqin "heavy" cavalry gradually caught up with the Manjit heavy cavalry. At this time, these heavy cavalry finally woke up.

I can still fight!

It was a good idea, but it was already too late. One hundred Truqin warriors each held two short flint-haired muskets, all of which were aimed at the horses. After they rolled over like a gust of wind, the battlefield was clear.

However, their mission has not yet been completed. There are another two thousand light cavalry escorting the infantry into the city!

Although some of the light cavalry were already entangled by the light cavalry led by Kitard, there were still hundreds of cavalry surrounding them.

For Kitard, although his people occupied a city gate, the situation was still not optimistic.

Rasim had 5,000 riders, but was beaten back by Khorazbek, who only had 4,000 riders. He was about to collapse!

Although more than a thousand of his own light cavalry used the power of short muskets to completely disperse the Manjit light cavalry, it would not be possible to completely annihilate this unit in a short while.
Chapter completed!
