Chapter 4 Fighting over Misunderstandings
Perhaps the Mongolian cavalry had been proud for too long at this time, or the cavalry leading the army thought that once they moved, the cavalry in other directions would also move. At that time, the strange army in front of them would be difficult to deal with. Therefore, the Mongolian cavalry formed a serious attack formation, although their idea was to ride and shoot.
Therefore, the musketeers under Zhao Xu all rode Arabian horses. This kind of horse is a good horse in any place, but it is not the case in Arabia. Now, because of the "Huaxia Empire" war horse breeding, Arabian horses may have to compete for the next ranking with the Aldekin horse (blood horse) and other famous horses in the world.
In addition, most of the musketeers under Zhao Xu wore cavalry armor from the Yulin armor system of "Huaxia Island". This armor looks heavy armor, and its protective power is similar to that of European plate armor, but the composite material makes it quite light. So if Zhao Xu treats musketeers riding Alama and treats them as heavy cavalry, he will definitely suffer.
The 10,000 Mongolian cavalry in front of him were exactly under the command of Alibuge. When others saw the banner of Prince Kublai Khan, they hid aside. After all, even if Prince Kublai Khan lost a battle, he still had a large area of land. It was not difficult to rebuild a large army. Moreover, there were more than 100,000 people he brought back, so of course the cavalry from other families would not come forward.
Even the cavalry under Ali Buge planned to fight again. In their experience, such heavy cavalry charges at close range are terrible, but for Mongolian horses with excellent endurance, the heavy cavalry will not be able to catch up with them at that time. At that time, they can only be shot by the Mongolian cavalry to wipe out their strength bit by bit. However, this time, the musket cavalry that was already different in nature, and the Mongolian cavalry in front of them may have to suffer a loss.
"Don't you look at these fools, and those cavalrymen don't use spears?"
In addition to the muskets next to the saddle, the muskets were all equipped with generals and pulley bows. Moreover, most of Zhao Xu's muskets were lost in the battles outside the Shangri-La Mountains. At this moment, the average muskets of muskets was only 4 muskets, while the standard 6 muskets were only available to He Qi and his confidants. This was still along the way, and the craftsmen under Zhao Xu kept building them, and even the copper basins, bronze bowls and other utensils in various cities were melted before they made some short guns.
Among the musketeers, the front of them were all people with more musketeers. He Qi even drew a group of people with only two musketeers. The reason is that only in this way can the musketeers maintain the strongest impact, and only in this way can the musketeers fully exert their abilities.
In any case, the battle in front of him was already unstoppable, and the generals on both sides stopped waiting. As He Qi's signal flare rose into the sky, the 10,000 musketeers under his command began to move quickly. They maintained a neat formation like the heavy cavalry in Europe. The long sword leaned on their shoulders, and the other hand placed the reins of the horse, completely controlling the horse with both legs.
What is different from them is that when the Mongolian army saw the enemy start charging, they also started charging. However, when the Mongolian soldiers charge, they habitually let out the sharp shouts of nomadic peoples. Moreover, their formation is relatively scattered because they are cavalrymen who are preparing to ride and shoot. Many Mongolian cavalry do not take out their own scimitars at all. They believe that with their ability to shoot archery or engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, they do not have many opportunities.
However, to their surprise, the musket cavalry under Zhao Xu's men was very fast, and this is the reason why the sales momentum of the cavalry armor of the Yulin Armor series is very good. Because it has the protective power of heavy cavalry armor, these armors are only a little heavier than the armor of the Mongolian light cavalry. This gives the Arab horse a longer rapid running time, and on the battlefield, these few minutes of fast running can determine the victory of a war.
Soon the cavalry of both sides quickly approached, and the Mongolians habitually began to shoot freely at a certain distance. The other party did not fight back, and to the surprise of the Mongolians, the opponent's armor was obviously very good, and almost no cavalry fell off their horses when they were shooting. This was their first surprise.
Yes, if you use ordinary rotten iron sheets or even bone arrows to deal with the cavalry armor of the Yulin Armor series, the hope is as difficult as using a rifle to penetrate the armor of a tank. I believe that in the previous story, you have already seen that the cavalry armor of the Yulin Armor series has no effect except for the "Huaxia Empire" productivity quadrilateral auricles combined with trigger rockets.
After the Mongolian army shot out a rain of arrows, like all the nomadic peoples who were good at riding and shooting, they controlled the turn of their horses with their legs, and then quickly ran away. However, this did not affect them turning around and shooting arrows at the cavalry chasing them. If they were put into the current online game, they would definitely be called "kite tactics". As the target of kites, they would be released to death in the end.
But today, the Mongolians were surprised for the second time.
When the Arabian horse reaches its extreme speed, it is no longer running, but about flying speed. The muskets are watching the distance of the Mongol cavalry, and the short muskets in their hands are steadily lifted. The hit rate of the muskets is quite low at this time, but it is worth noting that the range of the muskets is not close, and there is no accurate head if they are just a little far away. But now the relatively dense formation of large groups of Mongolian soldiers makes up for the short muskets.
At this time, with another red signal flare coming into the sky, the trained musket cavalry launched rows of projectiles at the nearest Mongolians. With the first shot, they inserted the mist gun into the holster without even looking at it, and almost at the same time pulled out another musket to carry out the second wave of shooting. Of course, this place is no longer a volley. With the musket cavalry shooting, the bullets faced by the Mongolian soldiers became increasingly dense.
I have to say here that an excellent musket cavalry can often fire four guns in 10 seconds. As for the two muskets left behind, they are life-saving guns that will save their lives in subsequent fighting, and will only be held in their hands and will not be easily cast.
Even if Zhao Xu had only 3,000 men under him could fire 4 times, then these were 12,000 rounds. These bullets with almost no accuracy were hissed and penetrated the air and rushed into the dense group of cavalry. Those with low trajectories drilled into the horse's body, and those with high trajectories shot the cavalry from the horse with one shot.
Facing bullets, the Mongols' armor was useless at all!
