Chapter 21: The Attack of the Deadly Death
Zhao Fubo could feel that his hand holding the rifle was already nervous and sweating**(.pao8. For the first time, the first time he encountered such a fierce and fearless person, whether in Aden, Cairo, or Damietta, he had never encountered anyone who dared to rush forward under such a intensive firepower attack. His musket battalion was not there, otherwise, the cavalry in front of him would have been killed long ago.
The firing of this kind of flints is so slow that it is sad. Although the range of the Great Song Yulin Army's rifle is closer, the intensity of firepower is that the cavalry cannot reach within 100 meters. It is quite small. Even the archers of the Great Song Yulin Army's archers are not close, and they are better at shooting at a fast rate, which can form a dense rain of arrows.
But now, although there were 2,000 musketeers who used directional thunder and grenade launchers, these light cavalry still quickly approached. Fortunately, at this time, the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" on the other end of the camp fired, and some shells flew over Zhao Fubo and the others' heads and landed about 100 to 150 meters in front of the vehicle array.
This is of course a very dangerous thing. After all, the "Flying Swallow Iii-type crossbow" is not a modern artillery. It is normal for the shell to fall by tens of meters. This is why they did not ask them to assist in the attack at the beginning. But now, the battle situation is so dangerous, so I don't care about these things.
"put"
At this time, Zhao Fubo no longer hesitated. Although there were only 100 riflemen, they could shoot 4 bullets quickly. Even if the light knight came close, they still had bullets in the "python-shaped revolver****"
Just after Zhao Fubo shot a bullet first, he found the rifle in Sophia's hand beside him, and the "Huaxia ii type bullet casing rifle" was continuously sounded. The 10-bullet bullet casing made her shooting continuous. Although Zhao Fubo's rifle can shoot four consecutively, the firepower is far less than that in Sophia's hand.
“Bao …”
Just like a storm, the light cavalry on the opposite side immediately suffered major casualties under such dense firepower attacks. After all, the rifles in the hands of the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty were not shot with gunpowder. The fire foam brought great power to the rifles, especially the continuous shooting of four-gun bullets. No matter how fast the cavalry meets them, it is like hitting a copper wall and iron wall.
However, there were too many cavalry approaching. Soon, light cavalry broke through the defense line of the large chariot. The musketeers of the Yulin Army of the Song Dynasty did not leave their posts on the high chariot. After the rifle was shot, they naturally attacked the enemy in front of them. The light cavalry with a chest wall standing on the chariot with a scimitar shield and shield had almost no way.
When some light cavalry passed through the narrow gap between the big chariots, they tripped off the horse by chest-length ropes. When they were waiting for the muskets, they would swing their muskets. The triangular gun stabbed the opponent's light cavalry to the ground without mercy, and then easily pulled out the bayonet.
However, the cavalry, mainly Berbers who attacked this time, had already been determined to die, so their attack was a waste of life. Although the rifles on the carriage kept firing, most of the cavalry who rushed into the camp were knocked to the ground with one shot, some light cavalry who still had combat power almost instantly caused casualties to the musketeers.
The scimitar in his hand was swung, and with the force of the horse, the scimitar flashed like the coldest crescent moon. The soldiers who were struck could not resist blocking it with a musket, and would also be cut off. At the same time, a heavy knife was slashed on the forehead, regardless of the helmet, the rifle was all cracked under this full force, and a scar was cracked, life flowed from the opening of the head with blood.
"Bang"
The sound of the rifle sounded, and it was Sophia's golden rifle. The light cavalry of the Berbers threw the scimitar in his hand away at the moment before his life was lost.
"ah"
The hit musket soldiers screamed long and were killed by the scimitar that passed through the chest. The first casualties of their lives were taken away by the scimitar, which made the musket soldiers a little nervous. These musket soldiers followed Zhao Fubo and fought here from Turin. There were completely zero casualties. Although there were always injuries and sick people on the battlefield, so many people lost their lives due to the opponent's blow. This is the first time.
As for the illness, when they marched, even the toilet was towed by a carriage to the place. It was fine to dig a big hole and buried it. As for the feces, it needs to be washed and reinstalled into the toilet. In addition, in terms of hygiene, although there is not modern medicine or ultraviolet sterilization equipment, all the things that need to be washed have been scalded by boiling water.
Today's battle can be said to be the biggest casualties. More than 100 people were injured or died under the attack of light cavalry. However, the battle has not ended yet. When the musketeers were facing casualties and were a little confused, Zhao Fubo, who kept shooting in the carriage, issued an order.
"The musketeers lined up in front, and the enemy's infantry approached."
Originally this was not a problem. If only a shell of "Flying Yan iii type crossbow" was passed, the infantry would leave. However, at this time, the light cavalry who had just been driven away had already gathered together. They rushed towards the chariot formation with no chance and had to chase them and bombard the shells into the crowd. Even this time, most of their shells were incendiary bombs, and fire scenes were set up on the ground so that the light cavalry's horses became timid when facing the fire scene.
Musketeers rushed out of the cracks in the big chariots lined up in front of the big chariots. At a distance of about 300 meters, a large group of infantry were scattering in formation and rushing towards their camp. This made the musketeers a little worried, worried that their musket shooting could prevent the numerous infantry from rushing over.
They swung the scimitar in their hands and ignored the bodies of the casualties of the cavalry and war horses on the ground. They just kept running over and all the people opened their mouths and shouted sharply. This was because they were Berbers. When fighting, they would eat a kind of anesthesia-like leaves, just like people who smoked smoked smoke. They were not afraid of death or pain at all.
"Line up and prepare to shoot"
