Chapter 500

In those days, the Mongolian cavalry was able to sweep the Eurasian continent and lay a huge territory unprecedented and never to come. What did it rely on? He is their light cavalry.

There were no heavy cavalry or any other arms in those days. The only one they could hold was the light cavalry.

The light cavalry of the Mongols are very efficient in fighting. They don't fight hard with the enemy. Instead, they use the speed and mobility of the cavalry to keep circling around the enemy. They never make close contact with the enemy. Instead, they use the superb riding skills of the cavalry to shoot with bows and arrows in the distance.

No matter whether they hit or not, as long as they finish shooting, the cavalry will use their legs to adjust the direction of the horse, so that the horse and the enemy always keep at a suitable distance - the enemy can not hit themselves, but they can shoot to the enemy's distance.

It is precisely because the Mongolian cavalry has such excellent tactics that they can be in an invincible position in battle. Then they can use a similar method to strip away the cocoon on the battlefield to constantly eat the enemy. Finally, when the number of the enemy is eaten to a certain extent, they will launch a general attack and win the enemy in one go.

The tactics of Mongolian cavalry is so simple: keep a distance, use their own mobility to fight with the enemy and nibble at the enemy.

Shi Xiong naturally knew how the invincible Mongolian cavalry defeated the enemy, so when he formed the pro guard army, the template was the Mongolian cavalry.

But the pro guards with explosive bear rifles are much more powerful than the Mongolian cavalry. At that time, the range of the bow and arrow of the Mongols was 180 meters. Although the range of the improved cavalry version of the bear exploding rifle was not as effective as the infantry version of the bear exploding rifle, the effective range could be as high as 600 meters, but the effective range of 500 meters was enough to ensure that the pro guard had great lethality.

Because the pro guard forces are going to fight on the horse, their rifles must be further reduced in weight. In this way, both the barrel length and the butt of the gun need to be reduced. However, the reduced length and weight of the cavalry version of the explosive bear rifle will inevitably lead to the reduction of the effective range, but the effective range of more than 500 meters still makes this rifle have great lethality.

When Shi Xiong personally trains the pro guards to charge, the two thousand Pro guards will line up and pull forward. When the horses start charging at a constant speed, the pro guards will release their hands on the back of the galloping horses and only use their legs to control the direction of the horses.

Then the first shot will be fired 300 meters away from the enemy. After the first shot, ammunition will be loaded on the back of the galloping horse. When the ammunition is loaded, the horses will basically run to the position about 220 meters away from the enemy, and then the pro guard will launch a second volley. Then it's loaded and a third salvo.

All pro guards must complete one loading within 80 meters of the galloping horse, so that after three volleys, the distance between pro guards and the enemy is about 140 meters, which is enough for pro guards to control the horse to turn, and then stay away from the enemy beyond the range of the enemy's bow and arrow.

After leaving the enemy, the pro guard will control the horse to turn around and repeat the previous action.

Because the horses do not charge at the fastest speed, but at a relatively uniform speed, so that the horses can maintain their physical strength as much as possible, so that the pro guards can complete this kind of charge many times in a row - volley - loading - volley - turning - away - charging again... This kind of continuous tactical action.

Even if the hit rate of such a tactical action is only 20%, then with the number of Pro guards of 2000, about 400 enemies will be killed in one round of charge. It will definitely make the enemy feel extremely desperate to make four or five such charges in a row.

This kind of intelligence looks at the situation that the enemy hits you, but you can't hit the enemy. It's absolutely quite hopeless.

And if you can't run, how can you run with two legs over four?

Therefore, although the pro guard tactics can't destroy the will of the enemy at one time like throwing a cartridge or mortar salvo, they can absolutely drive the enemy crazy

This tactic is undoubtedly very obscene and greasy, but this is where the power of the pro guard lies.

Even the bighorn sheep, the fast horse and the bone spear all admit that if the fierce bear army does not have the explosive bear rifle, the catapult and the mortar, even if the 20000 fierce bear army faces 2000 Pro guards, it will be dragged down alive.

However, this time, Shi Xiong intends to crush the three ethnic groups' coalition forces head-on, and also wants to crush them directly with the fastest speed and the most cruel way. Therefore, the pro guard army only serves as the task of protecting the first division of the Chinese Army on both wings.

As the main fighting force, 10000 officers and men of the first division will advance alternately with heavy firepower and explosive bear rifles in mobile warfare to completely crush the Allied forces of the three ethnic groups.

Less than 20000 members of the three ethnic groups soon appeared in front of the bear army.

Seeing that the fierce bear army was in a neat formation and slowly pressed forward, the three ethnic allied forces on the opposite side immediately made a huge noise. As a result, just after the noise, it suddenly stopped in a series of explosions.

It wasn't the first division and the pro guard that first attacked, but the air force of the stormy bear army that floated at an altitude of more than 300 meters.

Even if there are only 24 hot-air balloons, each balloon is equipped with 50 airdrop type No. 3 grenades. Therefore, when the 24 hot-air balloons fly to the top of the heads of the three groups of allied forces, No. 3 grenades will drop down from the 24 hot-air balloons like dumplings.

When the balloon flew over the top of the triad a few minutes later, there was only a group of panicked triad troops left.

Compared with the volley of the catapult, the lethality of the hot-air balloon is not very great. But it was a high-dimensional strike after all, and the explosion power of No. 3 grenade was also very strong, so when the hot-air balloon flew by, the three groups of allied forces dropped at least thousands of bodies.

At this time, the first division, which had reached the range, began its magnificent performance.

The Musketeers pressed forward to protect the catapults and mortars in the rear. Then 900 catapults and 72 55 mortars began to attack!

Countless grenades seemed to rain and hit the three groups of allied forces more than 500 meters away.

Where can the Allied forces of the three ethnic groups who have never been bombarded by the volley of the nine hundred volleys think of the power of the volley?

So, while they were still surprised by the shrill whistling all over the sky, the shrapnel of the barrel and the mortar had fallen among them.

This kind of dense bombing with heavy weapons is not comparable to the air drop of No. 3 grenade by only 24 hot-air balloons. If the No. 3 hand grenade dropped from a hot-air balloon is a fixed-point explosion, then the barrel throwing and mortar salvo are undoubtedly carpet bombing
