In order to prevent the artillery from bursting, the outer wall of this cast iron cannon is made quite thick, which greatly increases the weight of the artillery. Therefore, artillery with larger caliber and longer range are not suitable for field maneuvers, and they can only be placed on solid ground.
It was used for defense under the city wall.
The cast iron cannon accompanying the army has a small caliber and a short range. Their range is basically within 600 meters, which results in the power of this artillery in field battles being quite limited. But even so, this is the longest range of the Lanfang Army after all.
weapons.
Following Cheng Hub's order, more than a hundred artillery began to bombard with all their strength. Smoke and dust rose in the distance, which greatly interfered with the sight of the Monte Cavalry. Unfortunately, these cannons fired solid iron bullets. Although it seemed that
It sounds powerful, but its practicality in field combat is quite limited.
The Monte cavalry had already adapted to this level of bombardment, so they did not appear panicked at all. The horses, which were still driving at a specific rhythm, gradually increased their speed. The speed of the war horses increased rapidly, and they were one step away from Lanfang's army.
A hundred meters away, the speed of the Monte Cavalry has increased to its maximum.
The Lanfang Army's rifle shooting and artillery bombardment did not cause too many casualties to the Montetre Army. Because the opponent's speed was too fast, the Lanfang Army's infantry only fired two rounds. The flashing saber was raised high, and the Montetre Army
The cavalry was like a torrent of steel, slamming into Lan Fang's army's line.
After all, rifles with bayonets cannot be compared with spears and cannot rely on ground support to gain sufficient strength. Rifles with bayonets in the hands of infantry did not achieve much effect. Under the fierce impact of the cavalry, the infantry fell to the ground one after another and scattered.
The splattered blood dyed the ground red, and also dyed the hooves of the Monte cavalry red. There was quite a bit of chaos among the Lanfang infantry.
"Use infantry to resist cavalry? Haha, Cheng Hub is such a stupid pig. Without the protection of the camp, the infantry is just a lamb to be slaughtered." Seeing the cavalry breaking into the opponent's line, Bayange sat on his horse and burst into laughter. The cavalry on both wings were equally killed.
When they got together, Bayange played a trick in setting up the formation. He concentrated the heavy troops on the two wings. As a result, the Lanfang cavalry was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of strength and their equestrian skills were not as good as the opponent's. The Lanfang cavalry was caught off guard from the beginning.
The battle between the cavalry and the cavalry is completely head-on. But facing the Montes who have lived on horseback all their lives, the Lanfang cavalry's horse fighting capabilities are so pale. There are a lot of Lanfang cavalry in the fight.
After being beheaded from his horse, both wings of Lan Fang's army were immediately paralyzed.
Dadar commanded the assault in the middle, and he led a group of personal guards to fight on the front line. Seeing the heroism of their general, the Monte soldiers burst out with powerful combat power. After a crazy killing,
A gap was cut in Lanfang's infantry formation, which was not very thick to begin with.
"It's been cut through, it's been cut through." Dadar waved his saber that was soaked in blood and shouted excitedly. Due to Cheng Hub's stupidity, the Lanfang army's center line was too weak, and the Monte cavalry actually cut through it so quickly.
wore.
"Attack." Seeing that Dadar had penetrated the opponent's central formation, Marshal Bayange sent out his reserve team, the most elite personal guard. Marshal Bayange's personal guard was the most elite force in his hands.
They always appear on the battlefield where they are needed most at the most critical moments.
The impact and speed of the cavalry are their greatest advantages. With their absolute high speed, the Guards can appear in the direction they should appear at any time. Just when the Lanfang infantry was in panic and prepared to turn back to attack Dadar, the Guards
The Guards' assault once again disrupted their formation, making them unable to estimate the Monte cavalry behind them.
Without the Lanfang army's counterattack, the Monte cavalry that cut through the front line had no threat from behind. If Dadar led his troops to turn back and charge, they would be able to completely rush through the entire Lanfang infantry front. But he knew very well that if that happened
You need to forcefully defeat the opponent's battle line, and at the same time give the defenders in the camp time to set up defenses, which will greatly increase the Monte's casualties and fighting time.
Dadar, who was clear-headed, did not turn back and fight back. Dadar, who had a keen eye, quickly discovered the weakness of the opponent's camp, because he knew very well that as long as the opponent's camp was destroyed, Lanfang's army would lose its final morale.
Due to the hasty construction, the Lanfang Army's camp had not had time to install anti-horses and dig trenches. This was one of the reasons why Cheng Hub decided to attack. The weak fence was not enough to resist the cavalry attack, and those who were hiding behind the fence had a look on their faces.
The pale militiamen don't have much actual combat effectiveness at all.
Seeing this situation, Dadar waved his saber and led the Monte cavalry to swarm towards the camp of Lanfang Army. Seeing the opponent launching an attack on the camp, Cheng Hubu suddenly turned pale. He knew very well that relying on those warriors
The weak militia could not withstand the attack of Monte's cavalry. Once the camp was encamped, the army would fall into chaos.
Although instructor Cheng Hub was in immediate crisis, it was too late to redeploy. The central front that had been drilled through had not yet recovered from the chaos, and the cavalry on both wings were firmly stuck to the Montes. Not only were they unable to separate, but they also
There was a danger of being eaten at any time, and Cheng Hub was really desperate at this moment.
"Kill." Following Dadar's roar, the Monte cavalry raised their sabers again. With their superb equestrian skills, they jumped over the fence. The Montes who jumped over faced the shivering Lanfang militiamen and unleashed a fatal blow.
Sabers. Screams arose repeatedly, and the Lanfang militiamen were routed by the Monte cavalry with almost no resistance.
Panic quickly spread to all the camps, and all the militiamen quickly joined in the rout. Cheng Hub gritted his teeth, and he secretly hated the fact that the militiamen trained by his family were so poor in combat effectiveness that they could not make much difference on the frontal battlefield.
effect, but the situation has reversed, and the collapse of the army is doomed.
Dadar's cavalry did not pursue the fleeing militiamen. They used the bonfires in the camp to cook meals and set fire to the tents. The fire in the camp shook the morale of the main force of the Lanfang Army who was fighting, and the front line began to fluctuate. Just now
The front that had regained its calm showed signs of falling into chaos again.
After setting the camp on fire, Dadar led his troops to fight back again. At this time, the Lanfang artillery had already abandoned its artillery and fled. Passing over the unmanned artillery, Dadar's troops killed fiercely from the rear of the Lanfang infantry line.
Got in.
Lanfang's army finally collapsed. The Lanfang soldiers who lost their courage no longer dared to fight against the fierce Monte cavalry. They threw away their weapons and ran away. Unfortunately, they never thought about how they could run with their own two legs.
The four legs of the Monte Cavalry.
Faced with the overwhelming defeat of the Lanfang Army, the Monte cavalry dispersed into small groups and pursued in all directions. What should have been a very fierce battle turned into a one-sided massacre. The Lanfang Army, which had lost its structure, was defeated by the Monte.
The cavalry were hacked to death without mercy on the vast grassland. In the end, less than 10% of the 900,000 Lanfang troops were able to return to the Lanfang Empire.
At this time, Dadar was riding on his own horse, leading a few personal guards to chase after a knight in gorgeous clothes. The knight in front was Cheng Hub. He was defeated like a mountain. The inexperienced Cheng Hub was completely defeated.
Unable to control the situation, he seemed helpless in the face of the flexible tactics of the Monte army. Faced with the impact of the rout, Cheng Hub's personal guards were scattered. At this time, he was alone and desperately running towards Ulan City.
The war horses specially selected by the Cheng family are obviously very powerful. Even the horses like Dadar who sit on them are a little inferior. If it weren't for Cheng Hub's poor riding skills, I'm afraid he would have escaped by now.
With his superb riding skills, Dadar has been chasing behind Cheng Hub. Even if the guards are gradually being left behind due to lack of horsepower, he remains unmoved. He is already determined to win the horse of the knight in front.
Already.
Cheng Hub never expected that his war horse would attract such a powerful enemy. If he had known about it earlier, he would probably rather escape on foot among the infantry than ride this horse. With his superb riding skills, Dadar
The chase got closer and closer, and when he saw that the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters, Dadar smiled and took off his musket.
In order to be able to attack at close range faster, the Monte Cavalry generally does not use muskets when charging. After all, their front-loading guns are not easy to load, and the accuracy is not good because they have no rifling. There are only muskets with an effective range of more than 100 meters.
The cavalry charge did not play a big role at all. If they entered the effective range of the musket and fired, many people would not have time to change their sabers.
Most of the rifles of the Monte Cavalry are used when dismounting to attack the city or in pursuit. Using them at this time is the best choice. Seeing Cheng Hub in front of him blindly lowering his head and running, Dadar decided not to put any effort and directly use the musket to deal with him
