Chapter 1454 The Thirteenth Regiment's Little Trick
Chapter 1454 The 13th Regiment’s Little Trick
The National Defense Forces on the opposite side were not large in number, and the most important thing was that no barbed wire fence had been laid out, which made Ye Chen feel...
The advantage is mine.
If you choose one thing among the weapons and equipment of the National Defense Force, Ye Chen hates it the most.
There is no doubt that it must be barbed wire.
Ye Chen didn't know which unscrupulous and smoking guy invented this disgusting thing.
It seems ordinary, but it is extremely troublesome to deal with.
I think these Eight Banners warriors are indomitable and dare to fight with blood in the face of any powerful enemy.
It happened that this barbed wire fence lay in front of them, preventing them from moving forward, taking detours, dealing with it, and stopping them from moving forward.
Those cowardly Han people stood comfortably behind the barbed wire fence, using their longer-range muskets to beat the heroic Eight Banners soldiers to death.
After finally breaking through ten wires, there was a wide open space in front of us. It must be time for the Qing army to rush in and kill them, right?
No matter how tall the war horse is, it will still hurt when it is hit by a bullet. The pain will make it go crazy, and going crazy will cause chaos, and chaos will disrupt the formation.
The mountain road was originally very narrow, and with the madness of the war horses, the Qing army's momentum was halted.
When the third row came forward, the Qing cavalry rushed closer to 300 meters.
Five hundred meters!
The distance was still quite far, but Gu Zhiqi had already ordered to fire.
By the time the second row came forward, the Qing cavalry had already galloped to a distance of 400 meters.
Because they didn't see clearly what exactly happened.
As a result, their horses fell down randomly again, causing a large amount of chaos.
Now the National Defense Forces in front of them have not laid up a barbed wire fence. Doesn't this mean they are allowing the Eight Banners cavalry to gallop freely?
Gu Zhiqi saw this and quickly asked the soldiers on the hillsides on both sides to join the attack and put in as much firepower as possible.
After being reminded, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment lowered their guns.
Seeing the Eight Banners Cavalry charging forward, the 13th Regiment could only use simple methods to deal with it.
Seeing that some soldiers were still slowly aiming at the Qing army, the officer immediately reminded them.
The Qing soldiers fell on their backs, boosting the morale of the soldiers of the 13th Regiment, and their musket shooting accuracy began to improve.
But now Azig's time is limited and there is no way to attack slowly. The cavalry was thrown into the battle from the beginning, but a large number of them were lost to these little tricks.
The shooting results in the second round were slightly greater, but the impact was limited.
The musketry of the 13th Regiment became denser and the gunfire became more rapid.
After paying the price of thousands of cavalry casualties, the Qing cavalry finally rushed over.
"Rush over and disrupt their formation."
As a result, every ten meters forward, a group of cavalry and war horses fell under the cutting of the wire.
Under the hail of bullets, the Qing army's war horses suffered.
If it were in the past, this arrangement would not have had much effect. Because when the Qing army attacked, the infantry was always in front, and these arrangements would definitely be tested.
However, this deployment did not last long, and the soldiers on the hillsides on both sides no longer cared about the Qing cavalry.
They can only bite the bullet and move on.
It turned out that the ground beneath our feet had already been dug out by the 13th Regiment, one after another, small pits the size of ocean bowls.
It would be too late to dig a large trench or a deep trench, but for a small hole like this, the soldiers only needed to dig it out with a shovel.
At this time, the arrangement of the 13th Regiment finally came into effect.
In the eyes of the Wehrmacht soldiers, the enemy was a little clearer. However, their shooting was still quite diffuse.
How did he know that it wasn't that Gu Zhiqi didn't want to lay the barbed wire fence, but that he had reached the limit of his mileage and had no time to carry more supplies.
Ye Chen swore that once he caught the guy who invented the barbed wire fence, he would definitely poke 3,600 holes in that person's body and then smear them all with honey.
As the distance shortened, the casualties of the Qing army increased.
Of course I can't see clearly.
The hoof of the war horse hit the iron wire and was immediately cut off, causing the horse to flip over.
Although the 13th Regiment did not have time to carry barbed wire to set up the formation, they used the thinnest wire to set up ten lines of defense in front of the formation.
The soldiers in the first row awkwardly estimated the height and fired the bullets in the gun chamber. Then they quickly retreated and gave up their position to the second row.
Immediately, about twenty Bajara rushed out first, and then other cavalry followed, crashing into the formation of the 13th Regiment at lightning speed.
This turn of events shocked all the Qing troops.
The cavalry on horseback was unprepared and naturally could not react in time. As the horse was thrown to the ground, his body was still pressed, and blood burst out from his mouth, nose, and ears.
In the first round of shooting, only a few bullets hit people and did not cause any impact on the formation of the Qing cavalry.
Because the Qing infantry led by Obai had already moved up, the enemies on the top of the mountains on both sides must be dealt with first.
Then it was sprinkled with fine broken soil, which looked like a dirt road at first glance, but it caused serious damage to the cavalry.
Although this kind of small hole is inconspicuous, if a horse's hoof gets stuck in it, it will definitely be broken, especially when running fast.
Against cavalry, hitting horses is more effective than hitting people.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 200 meters.
After all, people in the Tang Dynasty knew that to shoot people first, shoot horses first, and to capture thieves first capture the king. Compared with the erratic Qing soldiers hiding on horseback, the target of war horses was too big.
The 13th Regiment is all new recruits. The loading speed of the muskets and the rotation speed of the musket array cannot be compared with the field troops. Then the only way is to lengthen the distance and increase the number of shooting rounds.
"Don't hit people, hit horses!"
An ownerless war horse came up from behind, and he took advantage of the situation and ran twice to remount without any damage.
Normally, this kind of iron wire would hardly cause any harm to people and war horses, but after it was stretched and straightened, the war horses collided with each other and became sharper than a knife.
The cavalry running at the front suddenly became confused. The horses neighed in pain, and their huge bodies rolled forward uncontrollably. After falling to the ground, they never got up again.
This invisible danger is even more frightening. However, the Qing cavalry's momentum has already begun and cannot be stopped at all.
Seeing that the firepower of the 13th Regiment was weakened, Ye Chen raised his knife in the crowd and shouted.
The bloody fight begins instantly.
Even Ye Chen is no exception.
Fortunately, the strength of the 13th Regiment was limited, and the arrangements made did not stop there.
The thickness of the iron wire is about the same as cotton thread, and its bluish color makes it very difficult to detect with the naked eye under the sun.
He was thrown away by the war horse and rolled in mid-air. After landing, he used the thick armor to reduce the inertia, and then stood up.
The soldiers of the 13th Regiment had no experience fighting cavalry. They were all a little panicked when they faced cavalry so close for the first time.
Many people couldn't help but want to retreat, causing the formation to become loose.
Gu Zhiqi raised his hand and fired a shot, knocking a Baya off his horse, thus gaining the upper hand.
"First shoot, then form a bayonet formation and fight according to the rules!"
