Chapter 981: Fierce Battle!
"Woo-woo, woo-woo..."
The low sound of the horn sounded when the two sides were more than 300 meters apart. Read
At this time, the Beidi cavalry held the reins with one hand and picked up the horn bow hanging on the horse's belly with the other hand.
The horn was reminding them to prepare for the projectile.
For the cavalry, the distance of 300 meters only takes a short time to cross.
It would be too late to prepare after entering the range.
At the same time as the Beidi horn sounded, the whistle whistled among the Dasong Lancers.
The Lancers immediately took off the cavalry guns hanging on their backs.
Since they had loaded the bullets in advance, they all pointed the muzzles at the Beidi cavalry in front.
"Bang bang bang..." The order conveyed by the whistle was to shoot.
The Lancers pulled the trigger one after another.
This time, their cavalry guns were not loaded with ordinary paper shell bullets, but metal bullets transported from Yancheng.
The muzzle flashed with fire, and the bodies of the cavalry couldn't help but tremble backwards.
The recoil of metal bullets when fired is much greater than that of paper bullets.
Because of the metal bullets, the bullet cavalry guns are more powerful and have a longer range than before.
The dense bullets rushed towards the Beidi cavalry like locusts.
In an instant, a large number of the front row of the Beidi cavalry who were running fell down.
Some Beidi cavalry were hit in the vitals and fell off their horses.
Some war horses were injured, their front hooves were raised high, overturning the cavalry, and some war horses fell directly to the ground, knocking down a group of cavalry behind them.
After a round of shooting, the Beidi cavalry fell into chaos, and the momentum of the charge immediately weakened.
This scene greatly encouraged the lancers.
The lancers immediately pulled the bolt, replaced the bullets, and immediately fired the second shot. A large number of Beidi cavalry fell down again and fell into greater chaos.
At this time, the distance between the lancers and the Beidi cavalry was only 200 meters.
However, the lancers did not continue to shoot.
Before the war, they often practiced fighting with the Beidi cavalry on the battlefield.
The distance of 200 meters was certainly enough for them to fire two more shots.
But this distance was not enough for the entire cavalry team to turn flexibly.
After all, compared to killing more Beidi cavalry, it is better to take the opportunity to adopt reasonable tactics, outflanking the Beidi cavalry while letting the firepower of the lancers reach its limit.
Like the Beidi cavalry, they also have several rows of cavalry behind them.
Because they are blocked by the front row, they cannot shoot forward.
Now, we need to create opportunities for them to shoot.
"Ding ding ding..." The sound of the whistle sounded again.
Taking advantage of the chaotic gap of the Beidi cavalry, the galloping lancers suddenly became like ramen noodles.
A large number of cavalry rushed to the two wings from the middle position.
The cavalry on both wings circled back to the flanks of the Beidi cavalry, like a pocket, wrapping up the Beidi cavalry.
While moving, the lancers were not idle.
They rode their horses at full speed while shooting and killing the Beidi cavalry.
The Beidi cavalry kept falling under the muzzles of the lancers.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Just as the cavalry of both sides were fighting, Ram sat on a warhorse on a hill not far from the battlefield, observing the situation on the battlefield.
At first, he had a confident smile on his face, ready to kill.
But as the battle progressed, his smile froze, and then turned into fear.
It is obvious that just as the Dasong infantry shot their infantry outside the range of their muskets.
Now the Dasong cavalry is also shooting their cavalry outside the range of their bows and arrows.
Before his cavalry had time to bend their bows and shoot arrows, they were shot by the enemy cavalry.
Now, the Dasong cavalry is more likely to surround his cavalry.
"Concentrate troops immediately, break through their flanks, and outflank them." Ram ordered.
The number of Dasong cavalry is not as good as theirs.
Pulling out a long pocket naturally makes the line of troops weak.
He believes that this is an excellent opportunity to strike back and defeat the enemy.
After receiving his order, the trumpeter beside him blew the horn again, conveying Ram's order.
Immediately, the sound of horns continued to sound in the Beidi army.
Soon, two Beidi cavalrymen rushed out from the chaotic cavalry.
Each team had more than 10,000 cavalrymen, and they went straight to the two wings.
The movements of the Beidi cavalry fell into the eyes of the lancers.
However, the lancers were not nervous at all.
Because during the pre-war drills, they encountered many problems set by the generals, including the safety of the flanks.
So, since they still chose to encircle, they naturally did not worry about the two wings being cut off and being included by the enemy.
Seeing a large number of Beidi cavalry rushing towards them.
The 5,000 lancers who had already arrived at the flanks immediately took action under the leadership of the generals.
Among them, 2,000 cavalrymen continued to carry out the encirclement mission, and 3,000 cavalrymen rushed towards the more than 10,000 Beidi cavalry.
They drew a small encirclement in the large encirclement to encircle the 10,000 Beidi cavalrymen who came forward.
When they were 300 meters away from the Beidi cavalry, they pulled the trigger one after another, and the Beidi cavalrymen who rushed over fell down one after another, and fell to the ground.
But the Beidi cavalry was also very tenacious. After a brief confusion, they rushed towards the Dasong cavalry again.
But when they approached the Dasong cavalry, they suddenly found that the Dasong cavalry retreated.
While retreating, the Dasong cavalry kept turning back and shooting, always keeping a distance of 200 to 300 meters from them.
Seeing this, Langlu, who was in charge of commanding the Beidi cavalry, actually broke out in a sweat in the extremely cold weather.
This scene was very familiar to him. They had used horse archery to wear down the Dasong cavalry.
In the end, the Dasong cavalry saw them, just like mice seeing cats.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The following chase confirmed his guess.
The Dasong cavalry always kept a distance from them and shot at them while galloping.
They chased closely, but it seemed that they would never catch up, and the cavalry was getting fewer and fewer.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the more than 10,000 cavalry he led were reduced to only 5,000 or 6,000 people, nearly half of them.
"Damn it!" Beidi Langlu shouted with red eyes.
He looked in other directions of the battlefield and found that the other Beidi cavalry had the same experience as them, and were always shot and killed by the other side when chasing the Dasong cavalry.
The battlefield was full of corpses of Beidi soldiers and horses, and the white snow field was stained with red spots of blood.
"Kill! Kill!"
Seeing such a tragic scene, Beidi Langlu was even more furious and rushed towards the Dasong cavalry regardless of everything.
At this moment, he saw a flash of fire in front of him on the left, and his chest suddenly hurt.
He lowered his head, and the bright red blood kept oozing out of his chest. Then he felt the strength quickly draining from his body, and the world was spinning, and he fell off his horse.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Amid the clear sound of gunfire, Beidi Langlu closed his eyes, and a tear fell from the corner of his eye.
He realized that the era of Beidi cavalry was over...
