Chapter 1117 Double-barreled fire guns show their prestige
This also fully illustrates that it is easy to get killed by underestimating the enemy in a war. As for the deliberate act of weakness by the Chinese army, no one will mention it. This is a good strategy used by others, but I accidentally didn't notice it.
Come out, is there anything else to mention? Isn’t it embarrassing?
The outside of the military camp became chaotic, but the main tent was still safe. Qi Huai then gathered five thousand cavalry nearby, and immediately pointed in the direction of the Huns camp and fled. But they did not know that they
Ji Jinkai and others had long seen through the idea of being able to escape, or even escape back to the main camp of the Huns army. Now there were 50,000 infantry and countless deep pits waiting for them.
In the outer camp of the Xiongnu army, a total of 30,000 soldiers from the Canglang Battalion came in regiments from six directions.
Each regiment has five battalions, each battalion is divided into five companies, one company has four platoons, and one platoon has five squads. The way the battle unfolds is based on squads, with ten people in each squad, relying on each other.
Protect the safety of its left and right wings.
Each company is divided into platoons. The platoon leader and deputy platoon leader respectively lead the first and second squads of each platoon to form an arrow formation, and rush straight in, like a sharp knife.
So, it makes people hard to guard against.
The terrible thing is that this is not a sharp knife. There are five sharp knives in a company, twenty-five in a battalion, and one hundred and twenty-five in a regiment. When these sharp knives form a scale
, when it rushes straight in front of you, it feels like the sword shadows of the Chinese cavalry are flashing everywhere, giving people a sense of black-armored cavalry everywhere, danger everywhere, and murderous intent everywhere.
And these are not the main ones. This kind of formation is often used by the Shanshan Guards, and they use it better and more skillfully. Especially when their heavy cavalry starts to attack, their momentum becomes more powerful. It is really a
It is impossible to resist the impact of platoon after platoon. But don't forget that Canglang Camp also has their advantages and power, which is the sinking knife and the double-barreled fire system.
Needless to say, the Shen Dao was originally made to deal with cavalry. The blade is thin and has a moderate arc, which makes it faster to swing and has less wind resistance. It is intentionally made so small that it can reach an inch.
The one-inch longer and stronger function ensures that the sinking knife can penetrate into the enemy's body, but the enemy's blade cannot touch you, which plays the role of better protecting yourself and killing the enemy.
In addition to the sinking knife, there is also the double-barreled firecracker that makes its debut. It is also a long-distance attack object, but it is easier to operate than a bow and arrow. It does not require much effort, just move your fingers.
Shooting fire bombs at close range will kill or injure the enemy directly.
With these two "high-end" weapons, one of which should not appear in this era, coupled with Canglang Battalion's hard training, strict military discipline, and good ideological work, everyone wants to go to the battlefield.
In the eager mood to achieve meritorious service, when they appeared in the camp outside the Xiongnu army, they formed an unstoppable force.
In the outermost camp, when Canglang Battalion arrived, no less than a thousand cavalry rushed out. These are patrol personnel belonging to the Huns cavalry. They are responsible for the safety of the camp to ensure that unexpected events occur.
·Be able to respond as soon as possible when receiving a request.
Thousands of cavalry are already a considerable strength in front of any force. With their presence, anyone who wants to invade will need a certain amount of time to deal with them. But it is a pity that this time,
What they encountered was the Canglang Battalion, a team that, although young, was no less powerful than the Shanshan Guards.
Long before the charge, Li Chuxiang had anticipated some of the problems he might face, especially the Hun cavalry patrol, which was the target of his focus. Quite simply, this was an enemy that could block their progress.
If they want to realize their plan and become famous all over the world, these Huns patrol cavalry are the first enemies they have to deal with.
Not only must it be resolved, but it must be resolved well, so that the subsequent war can go more smoothly, better inspire the morale of the army, and achieve a great victory.
Li Chuxiang had expected it, so he naturally made some arrangements. His six regiment leaders all knew what he was going to do. When they saw thousands of Huns cavalry rushing out, no one showed any surprise.
On the contrary, the regimental commanders dispatched their double-barreled firecrackers according to what they had prepared before.
Those who were sent forward were all those who had relatively high accuracy with their muskets during previous training. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a big joke if the first appearance would be followed by a burst of gunfire and a collective miss?
It is not difficult to find a company of soldiers with better marksmanship from a regiment of 5,000 men. In this way, a regiment sends a company of 200 men, and six regiments are 1,200 men. When these men bear the brunt of the attack,
When the Hun cavalry were rushing out of the camp, a wonderful, but short, and unimaginable scene occurred.
More than a thousand patrolling Hun cavalry saw that the first batch of cavalry from the Chinese Army was not very large, but almost the same as them. They were very happy, thinking that this was their opportunity. Then one by one they came
They were very excited, thinking that in order to fight this battle well, it would be best if they could defeat the cavalry of the Chinese Army. In this case, wouldn't they just want to make a great contribution and become famous all over the world?
With this beautiful idea, more than a thousand Hun cavalry rushed over. One by one, they bent their bodies on their horses to reduce wind resistance as much as possible to ensure that their speed would not be slower than half a minute, so as to maximize the advantage of the cavalry.
change.
The Huns cavalry who have lived on horses since childhood and grew up on them are almost all very skilled in horseback riding skills. This is the source of their greatest confidence. They also believe that the world is so big that they can truly compete with them.
There are not many cavalry, at least they can't compare with the Chinese sheep who they once regarded as just eating grass.
This self-confidence made them move faster and faster. The 1,200 soldiers from Canglang Camp on the opposite side also showed no fear of fighting. They all bent their bodies on their horses in the same way, but they were not trying to reduce the number of soldiers.
Wind resistance, or this is just one of the functions. The greater benefit of them doing this is to stabilize their body shape and facilitate them to aim at the target.
Relying on the horse and leaning on it can make their body more stable. Once the double-barreled firecracker is fired, the possibility of hitting the target will naturally be greater, and the success rate will naturally be much higher.
.
Just like in normal training, more than a thousand commanders and fighters adjusted their breathing on the horse, trying not to make big movements, and then pointed the muzzles of their guns closer and closer without any fear.
The Hun cavalry knew the danger was coming.
One mile... four hundred meters... two hundred meters... one hundred meters... When the distance was less than forty meters, and the opponent's face could be clearly seen even on horseback, the soldiers of Canglang Camp finally
Their fingers moved towards the trigger, and then a stream of smoke was sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun.
The double-barreled firegun produced by the Jicheng Firearms Bureau uses black gunpowder, which is of relatively ordinary quality in later generations. Once it is fired, a stream of smoke will emit, which is not very pleasing to the eye. But the iron bullet fired
But it is very powerful. Once it explodes after flying out, there is absolutely no problem in injuring people or horses.
Bah bah bah...bah bah bah...
After a burst of unexpected gunfire, in conjunction with this move, many of the oncoming Hun cavalry fell from their horses, or some horses simply fell to the ground after a neighing sound, whining.
In the middle, even its master was thrown to the ground violently. Even if he survived, he was still injured. Even if he was lucky, he would not be able to fight again in a short time.
After the gunshots were fired, the entire battlefield became very chaotic. Hundreds of unprepared Hun cavalry fell instantly. This kind of cavalry did not even touch their opponents, and they did not see the bow and arrow attacks.
When they came, they came to such a result, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Huns cavalry.
At a distance of about thirty meters, even with a bow and arrow, it is impossible to cause such a large amount of damage? What is all this going on?
Before the remaining Huns patrolling cavalry could think about it, another burst of gunfire suddenly rang out. It was the second blunderbuss of the double-barreled firecrackers that fired.
Countless missiles came again, and many of the Hun cavalry who had escaped the first wave of attacks were shot and fell off their horses. In the blink of an eye, out of more than a thousand Hun cavalry, there were only less than three or four hundred left.
People.
The number of troops was reduced by two-thirds, but they did not even touch the corners of their opponents' clothes. What happened shocked these Huns cavalry. Their morale dropped again and again, and then someone yelled "Yes" first.
Damn it, after the horse turned around and fled, the other Huns cavalry also seemed to be awakened. They turned their horses' heads one by one and fled towards the rear.
A big battle that was supposed to happen came to an end in the blink of an eye.
The Hun patrol cavalry, which could have restricted the advance speed of the Great Chinese Army's cavalry, fled away in confusion, and in the end did not even have the slightest effect in blocking the enemy.
The great victory was right in front of them. The cavalrymen of the Canglang Battalion who saw this scene were very excited and their morale was greatly shaken. Under the leadership of the platoon leaders of each company, they quickly galloped forward, heading less than two miles away.
They killed the Hun army camp just a short distance away.
In the Xiongnu outer camp, the captains here are gathering their troops. They want to gather them quickly. Then they will pick up the patrol cavalry sent out first, and then they will have time to stabilize the overall situation.
However, many cavalrymen had just put on their armors and before they could get in front of their horses, let alone prepare for the battle, they saw three to four hundred of their own cavalrymen fleeing back in embarrassment and rushed straight into the Waida University.
