Steel Dynasty - Chapter 998

[Chapter 991 Blood for blood]

Thousands of horses galloped across the endless grassland, and the barbarian cavalry charged down from the hills like a black torrent.

But this torrent seemed full of flaws in Qi Guangyi’s eyes. As before, the barbarians still relied on personal bravery and made no progress in the use of cavalry arrays.

“The next barbarian cavalry is ten miles away. It only takes thirty minutes for them to arrive. Within this time, we will defeat this cavalry and retreat at the same time!”

Qi Guangyi said coldly, looking at the approaching barbarian cavalry. , he has always been known for his thoroughness in the military, and he was naturally well prepared for the first time he used the lancers in combat. Otherwise, he would be guilty of taking this newly formed cavalry into the abyss.

Therefore, in order to find out the march of the barbarians, he sent a large number of hunting cavalry to investigate on the grassland, and soon he found out the movements of three cavalry ten miles apart.

After a little thought, Qi Guangyi understood the intentions of the barbarians. In fact, in every war with the barbarians, they would always send elite cavalry to harass the barbarians’ rear.

Now the barbarians are clearly setting a trap for him by putting up this position. Although the barbarians now have monocular telescopes, their glass processing technology has been improving. The magnification of the telescopes is not comparable to that of primitive European monocular telescopes. They were still weak in the investigation together.

“Yes, Commander!”

After receiving the order, the cavalry general checked the time on his pocket watch. Nowadays, pocket watches are standard equipment for every officer in order to coordinate actions.

“Kill…”

The ground seemed to be shaking amidst the rumble of horse hooves. The barbarian cavalry waved the scimitars in their hands and all looked ferocious. Just as every person in the Chongqing people hated the Golden Horde, so did every person in the Golden Horde. Dayu people, because this war is not only a war about land, but also a battle for the survival of two nations.

“Five hundred meters!”

“Three hundred and fifty meters!”

“First row of fire!”

“…”

Qi Guangyi kept calculating the distance of the barbarian cavalry, and when the distance between the two sides reached 250 meters, he ordered to shoot.

He could completely avoid this encounter, but this time he chose to fight. This confidence came from the recognition of these days of training. The era of Chinese cavalry fully suppressing barbarian cavalry has arrived.

“Bang bang bang…”

After Qi Guangyi’s order was given, the densely arranged cavalry raised their carbines and fired on the stationary horses.

The sound of gunshots rang out, and the charging barbarian cavalry immediately fell on their backs, causing chaos in their formation.

After the first row of soldiers finished shooting, the soldiers in the front row immediately lay down on their horses, took out the bullets and completed the reloading action. The barbarian cavalry was exposed to the eyes of the second row of cavalry. They raised their carbines and fired, and then they repeated the process of the first row. Soldiers in action, shot by the third platoon.

Three consecutive shots were completed in just three seconds. More than 20,000 bullets formed a hail of bullets to charge the barbarian cavalry.

Under such intensive shooting, the barbarian cavalry facing the lancers fell like fallen leaves in the strong wind. After three rounds of shooting, more than 800 barbarian cavalry fell on the road to attack.

At this time, these fallen cavalry became an obstacle to the charge of the barbarian cavalry. Many barbarian cavalry tightened their reins to stop the horses to prevent them from hitting the fallen horses.

This slowed down the barbarian attack.

Seizing this opportunity, the first row of lancers quickly completed reloading and started the second round of shooting. Under the continuous firepower, the losses of the barbarian cavalry continued to increase.

On the hill, Zach and the bald man’s faces were ashen. They never imagined that Dayu State had muskets that could be loaded on horses. Watching their soldiers fall one by one, Zach walked back and forth restlessly on his horse.

The extreme uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger.

“Flag leader, this Yu cavalry did not encounter us accidentally, but came prepared.” The bald man looked anxiously at the charging cavalry. He was a centurion and was among the charging cavalry.

Zach said bravely: “It’s too late to retreat now.”

The bald man looked down the hill. The second round of shooting cost them another eight or nine hundred casualties. Now the soldiers had rushed within a hundred meters.

Turning the horse’s head within this distance will definitely cause great confusion, and their losses will be even greater.

“Taru…” Looking at the charging team, the bald man closed his eyes.

While Zach and the bald man were worried, Tarrou in the cavalry raised his saber. His brother was the captain of the Goshawk tribe and was highly respected.

Because of this, he did not want his status as a centurion to be questioned, and he was said to be relying on his brother’s prestige, so Tarrou always rushed to the front in every battle.

It’s just that this battle seems different from any previous one. The bullets sprayed from the guns of the Chongqing soldiers kept making the cavalry around them fall down, and they rushed from the mountain to the bottom. Two or three bullets hit his cheek. Pass.

“Kill!”

After withstanding six rounds of shooting, they were only a hundred meters away from the Great Chongqing cavalry.

At this time, they saw Dayu Guo raising his gun again.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Tarrou’s voice stopped abruptly, and his vision froze at the moment when the gun muzzle sprayed flames, and a bullet hit him squarely between the eyebrows.

The horse carried the dead Tarrou and continued to run forward for ten meters. Tarrou fell off the horse. When he died, Tarrou’s hands tightly grasped the reins, which caused the horse to fall.

The cavalry behind them had no time to dodge and collided directly with Tarrou’s horses, causing a mess. This kind of chaos was also happening in other places, and the momentum of the entire barbarian cavalry charge was disrupted.

But this was not something that made them despair. Just when they were readjusting their mounts, they saw many black stick-shaped objects floating in the sky.

These stick-like objects exploded immediately when they landed among them, with flames and shrapnel flying. Large pieces of cavalry fell down, while more horses were frightened and lost control.

Qi Guangyi stared coldly at the chaotic barbarian cavalry. Their horses had adapted to the sound of explosions during training, and now the chaotic barbarian cavalry could not form an effective impact on them.

Seizing this opportunity, he shouted: “Kill!”

Following his order, the loud sound of the charge horn resounded through the grassland. The lancers put their carbines on their backs and drew their sabers. Taking advantage of the chaos of the barbarian cavalry, they rode Rushed towards the barbarian cavalry.

“Bang!”

The lancer at the front raised his saber to kill a barbarian cavalry who lost control of his horse. At this time, a barbarian cavalry on the left rushed towards him. He took out the short barrel from the holster on his horse with his left hand. A musket was fired at the barbarian cavalry one meter away.

In addition to the carbine, the standard equipment of a lancer also includes two short-barreled muskets and three grenades. It can be said that they are armed to the teeth.

Faced with the fighting method of the Great Yu cavalry, the casualties of the barbarian cavalry increased rapidly. For a time, the battlefield was filled with the sound of sabers chopping, the sound of muskets and the explosion of grenades.
