Chapter 288 Shocking Artillery Positions

On the other side, another cavalry led by Guzhen Baylor successfully bypassed the other side and charged towards the artillery position of the Wu Army.

In fact, Wu Jun has been watching their actions all the time.

But seeing it, doesn't mean it can be completely blocked, because it's too late.

The transfer of artillery positions is not so easy, and its mobility is not comparable to that of cavalry. For its transfer, it is better to turn the muzzle, and then strengthen the protection.

When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed over, the Wu army had already debugged the artillery and started firing at the cavalry that rushed over.

At the same time, there was a cavalry in Mandahai next to the artillery position, ready to counter-charge at any time.

A little artillery alone cannot stop the enemy's cavalry.

bang.

The sound of cannons sounded, and the shells began to fall into the cavalry of the Qing army, causing great damage. Horses or cavalry hit by the cannonballs will lose their combat effectiveness in an instant.

At the same time, the fall of the horse will also affect some of the comrades behind.

Some horses that are not used to the sound of explosions can also be startled and lose control.

The Qing army under the high-speed charge did not have any ability to defend against such artillery, and could only resign to fate.

"charge."

When the Qing army was getting closer, Man Dahai ordered a charge.

When he gave this order, he couldn't bear it more or less, because the people facing him were all his former clansmen. However, now the position is different, involuntarily.

If he dared to be a little selfish, his adjutant might punish him.

Whether it's for his own life or his future, he can't be soft on the Qing army.

The Wu army's cavalry began to charge, but instead of charging head-on, they charged at the middle of the Qing army, forming an angle of about 30 degrees with the Qing army's cavalry.

In this way, the Qing army can be divided, and the Qing army can be divided into two parts.

Stopping the enemy was not their only purpose, they also wanted to try to eliminate this cavalry force.

The distance between the two sides was very close. When the Qing army's forward approached the defensive wall formed by the Wu army's infantry, the Wu army's cavalry also rushed in front of the Qing army's cavalry, and two battlefields were opened at the same time.

The cavalry of the Qing army in front were attacking the defensive position of the Wu army. As long as they broke through this defensive position, they could reach the artillery location unimpeded and start massacres.

When the artillery encountered the cavalry, there was no resistance.

However, this position is not so easy to break through.

This time Wu Jun was not prepared for Liu Hansan's surprise attack in Nanchang.

As an artillery force, they prepared many fortifications.

Rejection of horses, trenches, these can bring great trouble to the cavalry of the Qing army.

The cavalry will be helpless when encountering these things, either taking a detour or reducing the speed.

Without the speed, the momentum of the charge would be lost, and the deterrent would be greatly reduced.

In fact, cavalry is still not suitable for this kind of positional warfare, and has higher requirements on the field.

The greatest power of cavalry is their mobility, suitable for fighting sports.

If a cavalry and an infantry meet in the plains, the infantry basically has to wait to die.

The cavalry could hang behind them, and as soon as the infantry formed, the cavalry stopped. As soon as the infantry moved, the cavalry could charge, driving the infantry alive in the end.

Alternatively, you can shoot arrows around the infantry, just without contact.

As long as there are not many archers in the infantry phalanx, the cavalry can kill the infantry.

This is where the cavalry is the most powerful, but the phalanx used by the cavalry to attack the infantry does not have much advantage. Since ancient times, the cavalry has rarely attacked the infantry phalanx.

It is okay to attack the rabble, because the rabble will definitely collapse first in the face of the charge of the cavalry.

However, now the Qing army is attacking the elite troops of the Wu army. They formed a deadly formation, did not escape because the cavalry came over, and did not reveal a single flaw.

This made the cavalry of the Qing army helpless.

After crossing the trench and dodging the horse, the cavalry of the Qing army finally came into contact with the enemy.

At the same time as the saber was swung down, Wu Jun's spear also stabbed in the past.

Soldiers on both sides continued to fall, but in contrast, the Qing army suffered a big loss. What they fell was the cavalry, and what the Wu army died was only the cheap infantry.

More importantly, the Qing army needs to break through the defense line as soon as possible to complete the task, and they have already penetrated too deep into the enemy's camp. If you can't finish the task quickly and withdraw, you will be surrounded sooner or later.

"Rush to the collective reward 12 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to one level."

Goo-jin yells to boost his morale.

And this way, more or less can play some role.

Those low-level commanders who wanted to be promoted took the lead in attacking Wu Jun's formation at this time.

The speed of the horse combined with the weight of the horse, its impact should not be underestimated.

Some parts of the Wu army had already been smashed by the Qing army.

Although Wu Jun's soldiers are elite, not everyone is not afraid of death. There were still some problems in some places in the face of the continuous and fatal collision of the Qing army.

This is impossible, no matter how strict military law and training are, it is impossible to completely obliterate people's desire to survive.

Some soldiers backed away, others ducked.

The Qing army continued to attack along these gaps, and finally rushed out of several artillery positions.

channel.

Wu Jun suffered from the lack of troops. If there were enough troops, their defense line could be thicker.

It is not like it is now, if there is a problem, it will fall.

At the same time, the Qing army also encountered trouble.

About half of them were entangled by Wu Jun's cavalry, and the cavalry on both sides had been torn and killed together.

Just like the problem Duo Duo encountered, the cavalry led by Gu Zhen was also caught off guard by the tactics of the wall cavalry.

The cavalry in the middle always had to face weapons from multiple directions.

The left can be defended, the right cannot be defended, the right cannot be defended, but the left cannot be defended.

With one enemy and two, don't say anything to win, even if you want to hold on for a while, it is difficult.

When two soldiers who are evenly matched, it is difficult to find the other's flaws. But now the vast majority of the soldiers of the Qing army were slashed in the face.

After a hedging, the surviving Qing army general was almost fainted by the loss rate of his own side.

In the past, the cavalry fought against each other, and it looked very lively and intense after a round, but there were not many people who could really kill and kill, because everyone's contact time was short, and it was more difficult to hit the enemy and get hit.

In the previous round of hedging, the discount rate generally did not exceed 5%. Now, the hedging discount rate of the Qing army in this round has directly exceeded 20%.

At this discount rate, they would have to crash across the board once again.

Moreover, Wu Jun has completed the U-turn, and it seems that he is ready for the second charge.

This made the cavalry of the Qing army embarrassed, and if they continued to charge, they would die easily.

"Continue to rush for another round and we will return home."

The general of the Qing army said that he gave his men a hope. As long as they survive this wave, they can temporarily leave this hell field.
