"Hula la..." After the huge gate flag was taken down, dozens of heavy cannons raised their ferocious muzzles, pointing eerily at the Rakshasa position.
Yuzhu knew well that the Rakshasa people were only a third-rate European military power.
In terms of rich combat experience and advanced weapons and equipment, the Rakshasa people are far inferior to the British and French.
The heavy artillery brought by Yuzhu was too heavy to move at all.
If the Rakshasa people were smarter and changed the location for the decisive battle, these heavy artillery would become a pile of rubbish and completely useless.
In order to confuse the Rakshasa people, Yuzhu deliberately used huge gate flags to cover the entire artillery position.
After Stark discovered this new situation, he was immediately shocked.
However, the two armies have already set up a decisive battle formation, and it is no longer possible for Stark to temporarily change formations or retreat collectively.
Because the cavalry of the Qing army was obviously much more numerous than the cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
No matter how stupid Stark is, he still knows that using foot against horse requires a dense formation.
As long as the formation was slightly loose and exposed, it was impossible for the Rakshasa infantry to withstand the fierce impact of the Qing cavalry.
The Eight Banners Firearms Battalion was considered well-trained. About a quarter of an hour later, "Boom..." the first row of heavy artillery made a deafening roar.
More than a dozen huge iron projectiles, accompanied by deadly wind and thunder, roared and smashed into the ranks of the Rakshasa people.
The flaming iron projectiles, carrying huge kinetic energy, plowed fiercely into the Rakshasa formation. Wherever they passed, stumps flew everywhere, their stomachs were broken, and screams could be heard one after another.
Yuzhu held up a monocular telescope and carefully observed the results of the bombardment.
Alas, if it were a bomb with a delayed fuse, the Rakshasa people's losses would be at least ten times greater.
Yuzhu secretly regretted it. It was a pity that the old emperor had always refused to hand over the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion to him.
Otherwise, with Yuzhu's knowledge and ability, it would not be a problem at all to replace all the artillery with the British army's standard 6-pound field artillery.
When solid artillery shells hit the enemy, they seem to knock them off their feet. In fact, the bombardment effect is far less effective than hollow shells filled with lead pellets.
If the training is in place, this kind of hollow flowering shell will explode in the air above the enemy's square formation, and the critical hit effect will be even more awesome.
Immediately afterwards, the second row of heavy artillery also roared.
Stark, who was observing the enemy's situation behind the phalanx, immediately regretted his actions.
If he had known that the Qing army was coming with heavy artillery, he should not have fought here.
Yuzhu could see clearly that the dense formation of the Rakshasa people just made up for the shortcomings of the solid projectiles.
The hot solid projectiles are bouncing and rolling, harvesting human lives unscrupulously in the crowded crowd.
Yuzhu put down the monocular, took the water bag from Niutai's hand, and took a big gulp. Well, the tea is so sweet!
The guys from the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion used to only know that all artillery pieces were fired at the same time.
The problem is that due to lack of training, it takes at least half a quarter of an hour from cleaning the barrel to reloading the cannon and firing it.
In other words, it takes about ten minutes to fire once, and at most six times an hour.
Because the metallurgical industry of the Qing Dynasty was seriously behind the times, heavy artillery of several kilograms had to be stopped every six times to wait for half an hour of cooling time.
Otherwise, it will be easy to explode the barrel, causing a large number of gunners to be killed or injured.
The British field artillery of the same period could fire at least 40 times continuously before needing to cool down for an hour.
There are at least 12,000 Rakshasa people and a mere fifty fifth-rate heavy artillery pieces, which is unlikely to cause much actual losses.
However, Yuzhu just wanted to use the solid projectiles of the heavy artillery to cause temporary confusion among the Rakshasa people.
"Raise the flag, blow the trumpet, and order the skirmishers to rush forward and harass the Rakshasa people."
Yuzhu had already negotiated terms with the recruited Mongolian cavalry in advance. They were not responsible for charging into the Rakshasa positions, but only needed to continuously harass the surroundings with arrows.
In layman's terms, if you can win, then fight; if you can't, then flee to the wings.
According to Yuzhu, I brought you here to make a fortune, not to let you lose your life here.
To be honest, Yuzhu's orders were very satisfying to the Mongolian cavalry.
The skirmishers who had not undergone strict discipline training could only fight with the wind.
If you win, you'll pounce on it and bite it hard. If you lose, you'll slap your horse and run away.
As long as you save your life, there is no shame in running away.
"Yo ho, yo ho..." More than five thousand Mongolian cavalry, waving their swords, rushed towards the two wings of the Rakshasa people like a tide.
"Damn yellow-skinned monkey!" Stark was so angry that his nostrils were filled with smoke, but he had no choice but to order the Cossack Cavalry Regiment to fight head-on.
Even a fool knows that if the Mongolian cavalry rushes into the infantry square, it will be like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, and they can only be slaughtered.
You must know that until the Battle of Waterloo, the British Duke of Wellington used the thin red line tactic and required artillery to not fire until the French army came within 100 meters and the infantry was 0 meters away.
As a result, the British army defeated the Napoleon's army head-on for the first time with pride and pride!
Of course, if the Rakshasa people had the combat qualities of the new army and dared to put the cavalry within 0 meters and then open fire together, that would be another matter.
What is unexpected is that after more than a thousand Cossack cavalry attacked, they quickly defeated five thousand Mongolian cavalry.
The grassland herdsmen's bad nature of being unorganized and disciplined was clearly demonstrated. The Mongolian cavalrymen ran away with their heads in their hands, never daring to look back.
At this time, Yuzhu smiled slightly, raised his chin, and gave a decisive order: "Order the Jehol cavalry and the Fengtai heavy armored cavalry to attack with the whole army and be sure to entangle the Cossacks. Tell them that whoever dares to take even half a step back, I will not only chop him into pieces."
Their heads are used as chamber pots, and their descendants’ worldly duties are cut off.”
"Hey." After receiving the order, several heralds rushed to deliver the order.
All the Manchu and Green Camp generals standing behind Yuzhu had faces as heavy as black iron and their hearts were extremely heavy.
They never expected that Yuzhu, who seemed to have a cheerful face, could be so cruel and vicious.
However, everyone is the one who leads the army. Who doesn’t understand the principle of kindness and not being in charge of the army?
If you think about it carefully, everyone understands Yuzhu's ruthlessness.
Today's so-called Eight Banners cavalry are no longer the so-called invincible braided troops when the Qing army first entered the Pass.
If military laws were not strict, this group of Eight Banners cavalry, who had no real ability but were arrogant, would really dare to escape from the battle.
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
Correspondingly, under the bloody intimidation, brave men also emerged!
Although the Eight Banners soldiers who were gradually declining were afraid of death, they were even more afraid of being deprived of their hereditary titles.
Bannermen in this era had no skills and were not allowed to engage in business. If they were deprived of their hereditary titles, they would have no hard-core crops to harvest.
Damn it, the whole family is going to starve to death!
Meeting on a narrow road, the Eight Banners soldiers were forced to risk their lives and had to fight to the end!
