Xinshun 1730

Chapter 58 Study?Learn shit!

The scorching iron bullet smashed a section of the horse, but did not bounce on the ground.

This is the position Liu Yu deliberately chose. It is close to the river and the soil is soft. There is no way for the shells to bounce and it will not hurt a few people.

It looks like a simple car array piled up of wood, but in fact the back is filled with soil, which can effectively resist the bombardment of small artillery.

He judged that the Cossacks had no heavy artillery, and just as he judged, the Cossacks who came out to rob had only two small, light guns.

The soldiers in the car formation were all waiting for orders.

Jiaolaobutu was not nervous at all.He knew that the army in his hands was an elite force, selected from the Boyer Army and the Beijing Camp.

It's not just some random people who can follow Liu Yu from Beijing to Nuer Gandusi at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and then return to the Songhua River from the mouth of the river and continue to fight.If this is the normal state of the Dashun army, the war in the northwest is not worth mentioning at all.

Some of the veterans and veterans in the chariot formation wore armor obtained from the Acropolis of Handoli.Putting on two layers of armor is to deal with the hand-to-hand combat that will start in a while.

This is the experience gained by the Xinshun army on the battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty after Jingxiang.Before Emperor Taizong got enough artillery and matchlock guns to complete the 30-year war-level mixed military reform, the way to counter the attack of the rear golden shield chariot was to counterattack with elite heavy steps.

From the Battle of Jieqiao in the Three Kingdoms period to the Battle of Yancheng in the Song Dynasty, this heavy-step counterattack tactic has always been effective, but not everyone can make up a heavy step that dares to counterattack in a short time.

After the small cannons on the opposite side bombarded them a few times, the entire team of Cossacks was close to the firing range.

The Cossacks fighting on foot lined up in three rows, and the people in the first row stuck their heavy axes and long knives on the ground, adopting their usual tactics.

After the people in the first row shot, they retreated to the back to reload, and the people in the second row used the heavy axes inserted in the first row as gun forks, continued to shoot, and retreated to reload, so as to maintain continuity.

The Raksha people have both flintlock guns and heavy matchlock guns. The bayonet, a weapon that has been equipped in Western Europe, is still a rare thing in the Cossacks on the frontier.

The only fusiliers marched forward with the shield carts being pushed.

Once approached and suppressed by a round of volleys, the hand-to-hand soldiers took advantage of the situation to turn on the horse.

bang bang bang...

Row after row of volleys, under the superiority of Luo Sha, even if the people in the car formation had cover, they were still suppressed.

Jiaolaobutu squatted behind the bunker, grabbed a handful of silver rubles that he had traded with the Raksha people before, and made a clattering sound to counter the Raksha people's gunshots and boost morale.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Yu never chanted any slogans such as serving the country with loyalty, but used "money ability" throughout the whole process.

The clanging silver coins made the blood of those veterans in armor ready to counterattack rush.

The shooting at a distance of about sixty or seventy steps lasted about 5 minutes.People in the Luocha team were shot down constantly, and seven or eight people in the car formation were also injured.

During these 5 minutes, the only feeling that Jiaolaobutu felt was doubt.

That's it?

This is how the Raksha people fought like this. How could Liu Yu be so sad and angry at the Westerners?
Even if this is not the Raksha Jingying, even if Raksha is Europa Manchu, it seems that this is the case?How did Liu Yu conclude that the level of the Western Army is better than that of the Guochao?

It is always said that we must choose the good ones and follow them, and we must learn Western methods.Jiaolaobutu thought to himself, study?Learn a fart!

What can we learn from the method of pushing the shield car to break the formation in close combat?Is this also the case for Westerners' wars in the Beijing camp?

The Cossack pushing the carriage was already close to rejecting the horse, and the musketeers in the carriage fired another round at the Rakshasa lined up in the distance.

Just as the gunshots fired in the carriage, the Raksha fusiliers who were hiding behind the carriage suddenly stood up.

It was a salvo of soldiers who were loading in the car formation.

The smoke billowed up, and the strong man with the heavy ax began to move the logs.The impatient Cossack cavalry who had been waiting more than a hundred steps behind them were still waiting for orders.

The first refusal horse was moved away, the fusiliers hid behind and continued to load, and the arquebuses arrayed behind continued to cover.

Jiaolaobutu was not in a hurry and continued to wait.

After the second round of volley fire from the fusiliers behind the carriage, Jiaolaobutu shouted, and the armored steps that had been recuperating for a long time followed him out of the carriage formation, taking advantage of the reloading gap, and headed towards Those carts rushed away.

An old soldier beside Jiaolaobutu was holding a small horse with two arms, and when he was about to charge into the crowd of carts to kill, a Cossack on the opposite side pulled out a pistol from his waist, and shot a shot at the old soldier's head. gun.

The blood splashed on Jiaolaobutu's face seemed to remind this man who focused on counterattack with short armor: Times have changed.

The Cossacks behind the cart were not frightened by Jiaolabutu's counterattack, nor did they panic.

They quickly formed a small team, carrying heavy axes or sabers, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the people led by Jiaolao Butu.

Jiaolao Butu also used one hand to chop the horse shortly. After killing a Rakshasa man, his eyes were attracted by the Cossack who had just shot.

The person killed in the blood can tell at a glance that the opponent is a master.The first shot killed a soldier, and the men put their pistols in their belts, and held an ax about a man's height in their hands.

A veteran slashed with a knife, and the Cossack made a stand with an ax and gun with both hands. His footsteps were not chaotic at all, but he took a small step forward at the moment of the fight.

Taking advantage of the situation, he picked it up, swiped the tail of the gun down, and pierced the veteran's thigh with the iron tip of the ax gun tail.The old soldier was in pain, his thigh had been pierced near his knee, the knife in his hand shook, the Cossack slammed it, took half a step forward and knocked down the old soldier on that leg, and the ax spear stabbed at him Veteran's throat.

After the stabbing, he didn't care whether the opponent was dead or not, quickly retracted the weapon, took half a step back, adjusted the position of holding the ax and gun, placed it obliquely in front of him, and returned to the starting position.

"Damn it, there are two tricks."

Jiaolaobutu saw that this guy had already killed two of his companions without the slightest sloppiness, and it could be seen from the grip of the gun that he was an old man.

After spitting, he rushed to the Cossack.He knew very well how to use the Saber Saber, it was powerful, at least he had to pretend to be powerful, to force the opponent to deal with it, and to lure the opponent to show his flaws.

Raising the knife with both arms, he made a posture of slashing obliquely. In fact, he left [-]% of his strength, just to trick the Cossack on the opposite side to use his ax and gun to fight or dodge.

For this kind of heavy knife, you can only hold it with the strength of your waist and abdomen to cooperate with your feet, but as long as you choose to fight, your strength will become old and there will be flaws.

However, the Cossack on the opposite side was not fooled at all, but took half a step back when Jiaolaobutu slashed.Originally, the right leg was lunging forward, and after a step back, it became the left leg forward, and the right leg was slightly bent at the back, ready to exert force at any time.

The ax and spear held in his hand also took advantage of the opportunity to change from the defensive starting posture in front of him to the exerting posture of resisting on his shoulders.Then he exerted strength on his right leg, took advantage of the momentum to half turn around, twisted his waist, and swung the ax and spear that was on his shoulders ready to exert force with great force.

Jiaolaobutu's attack was also a false move, the slash was a trick, and it didn't use the strength of his waist and abdomen.Seeing the opponent's retreating pace, he knew that he hadn't deceived the opponent. He retreated and retreated. The opponent's ax and spear smashed into the air, but he didn't use all his strength so that he lost his footsteps, and quickly returned to the starting posture.

The two exchanged a move, but they didn't even hear a sound, it seemed like two people were cutting each other and the air.

However, if it was someone else, Jiaolao Butu's first move would be a fight, and he would be dead; and if the Cossack retreated from the attack to attack, if Jiaolao Butu used all his strength, he would die. also died.

The Cossack was staring at Jiaolaobutu, and Jiaolaobutu was also staring at each other. The fight just now made it clear to both of them that they were facing veterans on the battlefield, and if they were careless, they would surely die.

After several trials in a row, Jiaolaobutu finally seized the opportunity.

The moment the two men's weapons clashed, he took advantage of the fact that he was wearing armor, and suffered from the consequences of being cut on the shoulder, withdrew the horse and twisted the handle of the opponent's gun with both hands.

With all his strength, he twisted the opponent's ax and gun horizontally, making the opposite Cossack's hands crossed and unable to exert force.

The Cossack was also full of experience, and the moment he was pinched by Jiaolaobutu, he already knew he couldn't hold it.

Years of experience made him withdraw his hand directly, and took advantage of the opportunity to grab Jiaolaobutu's arm, and his right leg was stuck in Jiaolaobutu's crotch, making it impossible for Jiaolaobutu to stab him with the tail of the ax gun legs.

With a twist of his body, his waist and abdomen exerted strength, and he wanted to throw Jiaolaobutu on his back.The armor on Jiaolaobutu saved his life again. The extra tens of kilograms kept the Cossack from falling on his back, and this time Jiaolaobutu didn't give the Cossack another chance and strangled his neck .

The bull-like neck was strangled with blue veins bursting out, but in the end he still couldn't break free...

Throwing down the strangled Cossack in his arms and looking at the wriggling corpses piled up next to him, Jiaolaobutu felt a little scared.

I wondered if I was wearing armor, the one hit on the shoulder just now was over...

The hand-to-hand combat was only a matter of a moment. The musketeers covering behind pulled out their axes stuck in the ground. The first team shot to cover, and the two columns behind began to advance in turn.

The Cossack cavalry farther away finally got the order to charge.

The few Cossacks in the front row stretched out their hands and crossed themselves on their chests, gripping the brittle wooden guns made of birch, the formation spread out, and they began to jog and speed up.

Just when these Cossack cavalrymen changed from jogging to jogging, Liu Yu in the flanking woods finally thought it was time.

Once the cavalry has changed from a slow trot to a fast trot, it is already difficult to adjust.Turning at a jog only requires a buffer of seven or eight meters, while turning at a fast run requires at least four to fifty meters.

The formation of the Rakshasa has already unfolded, especially the musketeers in the formation have begun to advance alternately. This is the best time for a flank attack.

Later, those Cossack cavalry may break through the defense of the car formation; earlier, the cavalry can be adjusted, and the musketeers can also turn to defense.

The drums sounded, and the Dashun musketeers who had already prepared began to shoot according to the order.They ignored the musketeers who were advancing alternately, but chose to shoot from the side the Cossack cavalry who started to run fast.

Some threw themselves sideways near the carts where the most intense hand-to-hand combat took place.

Most of the Kuwu, Hezhe and other tribesmen who followed Liu Yu to "pay tribute" did not participate in the frontal battle, but were assigned by Liu Yu in the nearby woods, relying on their hunting skills to hunt down the Cossacks who might escape after the battle.

bang bang bang...

A series of gunshots sounded, and the Cossacks who had already started to charge did not expect to be attacked from the flanks at all. Even if their horsemanship was good, it was difficult to stop at this time.

As soon as Liu Yu's gunshot rang out, the entire battlefield was in chaos.Some Cossacks chose to ignore the attack from the side, continued to speed up their horses, and charged the formation with brittle wooden spears; while other Cossacks threw their spears directly, drew their sabers from their sides, and controlled their horses to turn forward, trying to counterattack the flanks in a circle.

However it was too late.

Du Feng led Handuo Liwei's Qingqi soldiers, and followed Liu Yu's gunshots, and went straight to the side of the Luocha people.After hacking the gunners to death, he launched a side attack on the Cossacks who were trying to counterattack in a circle.

Cavalry is the key to the battlefield, especially when the infantry of the Cossack formation is still with arquebus and no bayonet.

When they heard the gunshots from the back and the side, they were already in chaos. Accompanied by the firing of three small cannons hidden in the vehicle formation, these Cossacks who were fighting in formation completely collapsed.

Some people chose to ignore the shooting from the car array, turned around and fired freely on both sides.

And some people shouted directly: "No! No! The cavalry is behind, run!"

The first few people who shouted were the smartest. They threw away their muskets and ran towards the river bank.Cossacks live along the water, and everyone is a good swimmer. Although Heilongjiang is wide, they are sure that they can escape from the water.

The two who ran to the riverside first tore up their jackets and jumped into the water force. With a swipe of their thick arms like oak roots, they jumped more than two meters.

More and more people jumped into the water to escape for their lives, including some cavalry, perhaps because they were reluctant to part with their horses, and even led the horses to swim together and escape for their lives.

Du Feng and Handuo Liwei's Fubing Qingqi had turned to chasing and killing, which was what they were best at.

The formation of the remaining Cossack cavalry was in disorder, and there was no possibility of hedging.The most stubborn Cossacks rushed to the vicinity of Liu Yu, but were still knocked off by the musketeers beside Liu Yu.

Most of them ran towards the river, with trees on both sides, so they couldn't run fast there.Compared with the woods, they trust the raging river water more.
