Looking from a distance, Bai Wang's eyebrows were dancing: "At one go, we will take down that damn Zhu Yixi and avenge General Li."
I saw thousands of cavalry charging forward with an indomitable attitude. The military formations layer after layer were torn apart like tissue paper.
With his unstoppable attitude, he declared to the world that the Chuang Army was still invincible.
If our army is superior, the Ming army will be defeated.
Bai Wang vowed steadfastly.
But he said that thousands of cavalry were constantly charging forward like waves.
More importantly, it carried thousands of Yunyang soldiers as cannon fodder to break through the defense line.
"Commander, let me go!" Li Jingwu frowned and said worriedly.
On the high platform, Zhu Yixi was extremely angry, but she still suppressed her emotions: "Believe in the grenade camp, it will not be so easy for thieves to break through."
When I raised my head, I saw that the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a little sunshine, and the scene in the distance became much clearer.
"Raise your shield——"
When Yan Guochao saw the panicked troops and the surging cavalry behind them, he shouted again: "Stop, stop ahead -"
The soldiers of the grenade battalion shouted one after another, their voices loud and loud, shaking the sky, but these broken soldiers did not listen at all, and continued to charge the defense line desperately.
Zhu Yixi frowned: "Let the archers shoot——"
Immediately, the military flag on the side was waved, and the Chinese army received the news.
"Fire the arrow -" Chen Yongfu and You Shiwei said hurriedly after receiving the military order.
Immediately, thousands of sharp arrows were thrown into the air, forming a parabola and falling in front of the military formation, like a rain of arrows.
"咻咻咻——"
A large number of defeated soldiers looked up and fell backward uncontrollably, dying from arrows in their bodies.
One after another, three times, tens of thousands of arrows were fired, and most of the defeated soldiers were killed or injured, and they were terrified.
"Go back to both sides——"
At this time, the defeated soldiers who woke up finally heard the good words and headed towards both sides while being chased by their horses.
For a moment, only the cavalry figures were left in front of Shield Hand.
It's funny to say that whether it is Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army or the Chuang Army, the military uniforms and armor are exactly the same as those of the Ming Army, with white hats and red tassels, and red and black jackets.
The biggest difference is the helmet. The helmets of the Ming army would have an iron wire inserted into them and a red tassel tied on them.
Yan Guochao looked at this group of cavalry with eager eyes and said without fear: "Hold on, this group of cavalry is really unlucky if they encounter us."
All members of the grenade battalion are heavily armored, have big shoulders and round waists, and no one is less than six feet tall. They are like an iron wall.
The cavalry general Zhao Tiande broke through the Ming army in one fell swoop. He was overjoyed. Facing the heavily guarded Ming army's defense line, he didn't take it seriously at all:
"Run it, give it to me, it's all papery stuff."
The previous breach of the formation gave the cavalry great confidence, so they charged away without hesitation.
"Bang bang bang——"
One by one, the war horses seemed to have hit a copper wall. Their heads were bleeding and they suffered heavy casualties. They were all blocked in front of this group of heavy infantry.
"This is impossible?" Zhao Tiande was stunned: "How can the Ming army have such elites? Why are they not afraid? Why don't they retreat?"
For a time, the cavalry's offensive was blocked and seemed to have stalled.
Zhu Yixi was aloft and observed carefully. He calmly ordered: "The enemy's cavalry encountered an iron wall and their offensive was blocked. Good opportunity!"
"Send the order, the French cannon is waiting -"
Huchihuchi——
Military flags wave.
Chinese Army, Firearms Battalion.
"On command, fire all the French cannons!"
The flag bearer said hurriedly.
"Calibrate the enemy knight——"
"Already calibrated!"
"Clean the barrel!" "Finished!"
"Check the gunpowder and load it!" "Finished."
"Load projectiles, fuse!"
"It's done, everything is in place!"
"Ignite, launch—"
"Boom boom boom——"
Hundreds of French cannons emitted a large amount of thick smoke, and the shells were like meteors, drawing perfect arcs in the sky and flying away.
"Dong——"
A cannonball, with incomparable power, directly destroyed a man and a horse, splitting them into pieces, and leaving debris everywhere.
"Boom——"
The red iron ball, like a death sickle, kept sweeping across the battlefield.
The war horses neighed, and countless people fell on their backs.
It's a pity that today's French cannons do not have the accuracy of later generations, and they cannot cover the entire battlefield, let alone the more mobile cavalry, so the casualties are really limited.
However, it was enough to scare the cavalry on the opposite side.
"forward--"
Military orders were issued again.
"Forward!, Forward, they are using all their strength."
The officers did not dare to neglect, and scolded one after another. The bursts of "squeaking" sounds were particularly loud on the battlefield.
"Grenadier Battalion, attack—" Yan Guochao raised his battle ax and roared, the armor and equipment on his body making a clanging sound.
The marching drum beat.
Along with the drumbeats, the neat square formation began to move slowly.
"Damn it, damn it, how dare they not be afraid?"
The heavily armored grenadier battalion advanced slowly, forcing the cavalry to keep tightening.
"Throw a grenade——"
Wow!
The shield bearer stopped, and the soldiers in the first three rows took out grenades, blew on the fire sticks, lit the match ropes, and threw them forward.
"Rumble--"
The successive bombings frightened the cavalry and frightened the horses.
"Tomahawk——"
Thousands of battle axes were swung and thrown again.
Within dozens of steps, a vacuum zone was formed.
This series of tricks immediately confused the cavalry, and they didn't know how to start.
"Those wearing armor, charge me -"
Zhao Tiande was furious. In just the blink of an eye, he killed and wounded hundreds of cavalrymen, and nearly a thousand others lost their ability to fight. It was really hateful.
So, under his organization, hundreds of armored cavalry marched forward with heavy steps and unstoppable posture, like sharp arrows.
After all, three thousand grenadiers lined up in a column are only a few feet thick, which is too thin.
"Boom -" The rock-solid grenade battalion broke out of a gap, which then continued to expand.
"kill--"
Although there was a gap, Yan Guochao still refused to give up and kept swinging his tomahawk to chop the horse's legs, killing many people.
Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side breaking through two formations in a row, Zhu Yixi looked up from above and sneered: "At the end of the powerful crossbow, it cannot penetrate Lu Zhen. Let you try my new weapon."
"Let the gun be ready——"
Seeing the breakthrough of his own cavalry against the Chinese army on the opposite side, Bai Wang was overjoyed. Now, the Ming army was finished.
"Wait, what is this?"
I saw an enlarged version of a matchlock gun, raised by two people, shoulder-mounted in front, aiming behind, and loading gunpowder.
The surging cavalry continued to flow in, and the firearms battalion looked ahead without fear: two hundred steps, one hundred steps -
"emission--"
"Boom boom boom——"
There were bursts of sound no less than that of artillery.
boom--
Longer barrel, bigger projectile, more gunpowder, more power.
The bullets violently broke through the cavalry's armor, causing the latter to die.
More projectiles were fired at the running horses, wounds as big as the mouth of a bowl kept appearing, and more and more horses fell down.
A moment later, hundreds of war horses all fell with great regret.
