Chapter 153： Equipment suppression
Wu Jun just rested for one day, and the next day he began to attack the city.
As soon as the forty red cannons were launched, Li Chengdong and Zhang Yingyuan on the wall almost vomited blood. This is too bullying, right? It takes so many cannons to beat yourself in such a small county town?
"Brother Li, you can't let their artillery be fired all the time. Send the cavalry to kill all the artillery."
Zhang Yingyuan suggested that in their army, there are also five thousand cavalry, who can undertake the task of assaulting artillery positions.
"Their artillery has a flintlock unit to protect it. Basically, it rushes past the sheep's mouth."
Li Chengdong shook his head. Obviously, the opposing general was a qualified commander and did not make some low-level mistakes. He protected the artillery positions very well.
Unsurprisingly tactically winning, and suppressed in equipment, this kind of battle is really too difficult to fight.
"We have to give it a try. If these artillery are allowed to bombard, the wall will not last for an hour. Without the wall, we will have no chance of winning."
Zhang Yingyuan couldn't see that the opponent's artillery was protected, but even so, he wanted to try it.
Maybe Wu Jun was unresponsive, and their cavalry could rush to the artillery smoothly.
After all, the artillery was not far from the city wall, only about three miles away. The horse was charging at high speed, and it was only two minutes away.
"Then give it a try."
Li Chengdong also has no better way. If he does not take a counterattack and let the red-clothed shells go down, the morale of the army will be greatly affected.
The most taboo thing in combat is that you cannot fight back if you are unilaterally beaten. Even if you look like it is, you have to launch some counterattacks.
The east gate was opened, and five thousand cavalry rushed out and rushed towards the artillery position of Wu Jun.
Through the telescope, Wu Jun's commander found out the opponent's intentions in the first place.
"Array."
With a loud shout, the five thousand flintlock troops stood in front of the artillery position and lined up several large hollow squares.
"Change cannonballs, solid bullets, target cavalry."
"The cavalry is ready to countercharge."
Throughout the battlefield, various orders were given in an orderly manner. The soldiers at the bottom actually didn't know what was going on, couldn't see the situation on the entire battlefield, and only knew to obey the commander's orders.
"boom."
The artillery was the first to attack, and their attack range was the farthest.
One by one, big iron **** flew into the advancing cavalry formation, creating various tragedies.
The iron ball has strong kinetic energy, hitting everyone to death. After falling to the ground, these iron **** will not stop immediately, but will bounce and roll on the ground, hitting more horses.
The horse itself is charging at high speed, carrying strong kinetic energy. In this case, if you encounter an iron ball, 100% of the horse's legs will break and fracture, and no one is spared.
The only good news for the Qing army is that the artillery's rate of fire is very slow, basically only one round, they can rush to the front.
In other words, they only need to endure forty shots.
Not all of the forty shells can hit. The only one that can effectively kill the Qing army is only 20. The other shells don't know where they flew.
The smoothbore guns are not accurate, and the artillery's standard is poor. These are all reasons.
However, even if only more than 20 shells fell into the cavalry formation of the Qing army, it caused great damage and at least reimbursed more than 100 people in the Qing army.
After that, the Qing army entered the range of the flintlock, and the flintlock army immediately opened fire.
Their rate of fire was only enough for two shots, and the cavalry had already rushed in front of them.
However, in just these two rounds of shooting, at least nearly 500 cavalry were shot and killed.
This kind of killing efficiency is very scary. Compared with traditional cavalry hand-to-hand combat, I don't know how many times higher it is. The traditional cavalry hedging seems to be huge, but because of the limited contact area, not many people can actually die in a single charge.
As it is now, they suffered long-range strikes without contact, and the face of the strikes was very large.
The cavalry had already been scared to death when they saw the robe fall down one by one.
Replaced by infantry, at this time they may all turn around and flee.
However, they are cavalry. Once the cavalry charges, there is no turning back. They can only rush to the end.
The remaining cavalry rushed to the hollow square. Except for a few horses that could not dodge, most of the remaining horses bypassed these bright bayonets and chose to pass by.
How to crack the hollow phalanx is a big problem for the cavalry. Perhaps only by wearing armor to the horse, and then blindfolded to break the formation.
Li Chengdong and the others haven't thought of this way yet.
Therefore, their cavalry fell into a trap again.
Except for a few cavalry soldiers next to Wu Jun who were able to use long sabers to inflict some damage on Wu Jun, the remaining cavalry all became live targets and were shot by Wu Jun's musketeers at a super close range.
One by one the cavalry fell off their horses, and then they were trampled into flesh by the horses behind them, which was terrible.
The cavalry who rushed through the hollow square found that there were two rows of spearmen in front of the artillery position, completely desperate. Without fighting spirit, they can only choose to go around and want to escape.
If you rush, of course, you can also break through these spearmen and kill some artillery.
However, they will definitely die.
The enlightenment of these soldiers was not high enough to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, so all of them chose to escape by detour.
At this time, the Wu Jun cavalry who had been prepared for a long time also launched a charge, rushing towards those Qing cavalry who had been frightened, and it was another massacre.
The sorrow of the cavalry is that it is difficult to find a chance to surrender.
It is too easy for infantry to surrender. Throw away their weapons and kneel to the ground. The enemy will immediately understand what they mean. Generally, they will not kill any more.
As for the cavalry, there is no place to kneel for them on the horse, and there is no iconic surrender movement for them.
Even if they throw away the weapons in their hands, the enemy is worried that they will escape too fast, so they choose a simpler kill.
When the Qing cavalry was repeatedly ravaged, when they left the battlefield, there were only less than 800 cavalry left, and the loss rate exceeded 80%.
This unit is completely abolished. Don't say let them go to fight at this time. It's good to be able to stay calm and not go crazy.
On the wall of Wuhu County, Li Chengdong and others did not have telescopes, so they could only vaguely see the battlefield situation in the distance.
They estimated the loss based on the shadow area of the cavalry, and all of them opened their mouths suddenly, unable to speak a word.
This particular round of charge is almost completely reimbursed. This is an extremely flexible cavalry, not a clumsy infantry. This kind of battle damage is simply incomprehensible.
The sound of the cannon sounded again, and Wu Jun's cannon was replaced with a howitzer, which fell on the city wall.
Li Chengdong and the others were wrong, Liu Hansan and the others had never thought of breaking down their city walls. They just wanted to make the Qing army collapse through a lot of damage.
The howitzer is much better than solid bullets in terms of killing.
Whenever a howitzer successfully exploded on the city wall, dozens of Qing troops would lose their combat effectiveness.
"General, let's go down. It's too dangerous to stay on the wall. The enemy's bullets are too powerful."
Zhang Yingyuan saw a howitzer exploded not far away, and more than 20 Qing soldiers fell down and wailed on the wall. He panicked when he saw the tragic situation.
