Chapter 288： Assault artillery position

On the other side, another cavalry led by Guzhen Baylor successfully circumvented from the other side and rushed towards the artillery position of Wu Jun.

In fact, Wu Jun has been watching their movements all the time.

But seeing it does not mean it can be completely stopped because it is too late.

The transfer of artillery positions is not so easy, and its mobility is incomparable to that of cavalry. For its transfer, it is better to turn the muzzle, and then strengthen the protection.

When the cavalry of the Qing army rushed over, Wu Jun had already adjusted the artillery, aimed at the cavalry that rushed and started firing.

At the same time, there was a cavalry in Man Dahai beside the artillery position, ready to countercharge at any time.

The enemy's cavalry can't be stopped with a single cannon.

Boom.

With the sound of the cannons, the shells began to fall into the cavalry of the Qing army, causing great damage. A horse or cavalry shot by a shell will instantly lose combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the fall of the horse will also affect some of the comrades behind.

Some horses that are not used to the sound of explosions will also be frightened and lose control.

The Qing army under the high-speed charge did not have any ability to defend against such artillery, so it could only be resigned.

"charge."

As the Qing army was getting closer, Man Dahai ordered a charge.

When he gave this order, he was more or less unbearable, because the people on the other side were all his former tribesmen. However, nowadays, the position is different and it is involuntary.

If he dare to have a little selfishness, his adjutant may impose hands-on sanctions on him.

Whether it was for his own life or his future, he couldn't be merciful to the Qing army.

Wu Jun’s cavalry began to charge, but instead of rushing head-on, they rushed towards the middle of the Qing army, forming an angle of about thirty degrees with the Qing army’s cavalry.

In this way, the Qing army can be divided, and the Qing army can be broken into two.

Stopping the enemy is not their only purpose, they also want to try to eliminate this cavalry unit.

The distance between the two sides was very close. When the forward of the Qing army approached the defensive wall formed by the Wu army's infantry, the Wu army's cavalry also rushed in front of the Qing army's cavalry, and the two battlefields were opened at the same time.

The Qing cavalry rushing in front were attacking the Wu army's defensive position. As long as they broke through this defensive position, they could reach the artillery location unimpeded and start the massacre.

When the artillery encountered the cavalry, there was no resistance.

However, this position is not so easy to break through.

This time Wu Jun was not as unprepared as Liu Hansan was attacked in Nanchang.

As an artillery force, they prepared many fortifications.

Rejection of horses, trenches, these can cause great trouble to the cavalry of the Qing army.

Cavalry will be helpless when encountering these things, either detouring or reducing speed.

Without the speed, the momentum of the charge is gone, and the deterrence is greatly reduced.

In fact, the cavalry is still not suitable for this kind of positional warfare, and the requirements for the field are higher.

The greatest power of cavalry is their mobility, suitable for sports warfare.

If a cavalry and an infantry meet in the plains, the infantry will basically have to wait to die.

The cavalry can hang behind them, and as soon as the infantry is in a battle, the cavalry stops. As soon as the infantry moves, the cavalry can charge, and finally drives the infantry crazy.

Or, you can shoot arrows around the infantry, just without contact.

As long as there are not many archers in the infantry phalanx, the cavalry can kill the infantry.

This is where the cavalry is most powerful, but the phalanx used by the cavalry to attack the infantry does not have much advantage. From ancient times to the present, the cavalry rarely attacked the infantry phalanx.

It's okay to attack the mob, because the mob will definitely collapse first in the face of the cavalry charge.

However, now the Qing army was attacking Wu's elite troops. They formed a fierce battle. They didn't run away because the cavalry collided, and they didn't show any flaws.

This made the cavalry of the Qing army helpless.

Crossing the trenches and avoiding the rejection of horses, the cavalry of the Qing army finally came into contact with the enemy.

At the same time as the saber swung down, Wu Jun's spear also pierced it.

Soldiers on both sides continued to fall, but in comparison, the Qing army suffered a big loss. What they fell was cavalry, but Wu Jun died only cheap infantry.

More importantly, the Qing army needs to break through the line of defense as soon as possible to complete the task. They have gone too deep into the enemy's camp. If you can't quickly complete the mission and withdraw, sooner or later you will be surrounded.

"Rush over to collectively reward twelve silvers, and the official will be promoted to the next level."

Gu Zhen shouted, to boost morale.

And this way, it can play some role more or less.

Those low-level commanders who wanted to be promoted all took the lead to attack Wu Jun's formation at this time.

The speed of the horse plus the weight of the horse, its impact cannot be underestimated.

Some parts of the Wu Jun had been disintegrated by the Qing army.

Although Wu Jun’s soldiers are elite, not everyone is afraid of death. When encountering continuous and fatal collisions of the Qing army, some problems still appeared in some places.

This is no way, no matter how strict military laws and training are, it is impossible to completely obliterate people's desire to survive.

Some soldiers backed away, some took refuge.

The Qing army continued to attack along these gaps, and finally broke through several passages leading to the artillery positions.

Wu Jun suffered from the lack of troops. If they had enough troops, their defense lines could be made thicker.

It is not like it is now, and if there is a problem, it will fall.

At the same time, the Qing army was in trouble.

About half of them were entangled by Wu Jun's cavalry, and the cavalry on both sides had torn and killed together.

Like the problem Duduo encountered, the cavalry led by Guzhen was also caught off guard by the tactics of the wall cavalry.

The cavalry in the middle always has to face weapons from multiple directions.

You can prevent the left side, you can't prevent the right side, and you can prevent the right side, but you can't prevent the left side.

Don't say anything about defeating with one enemy and two, it's hard to even hold on for a while.

When two evenly matched soldiers fight, it is difficult to find each other's flaws. At present, most of the soldiers of the Qing army were chopped down in a single encounter.

After a hedge, the surviving Qing generals almost fainted by his own loss rate.

The cavalry used to oppose each other, and it seemed very lively and intense in a round, but not many can really kill and wound, because everyone's contact time is short, it is more difficult to hit the enemy and be hit.

In the previous round of hedging, the discount rate generally did not exceed 5%. And now, the hedging loss rate of the Qing army in this round has directly exceeded 20%.

At this rate of loss, they would have to crash across the board once again.

Moreover, Wu Jun has already completed the U-turn, and it seems that he is ready to charge for the second time.

This made the Qing army's cavalry embarrassed. It was easy to die if they continued to charge. If they turned around and escaped, it was tantamount to abandoning that part of their companions who had attacked the artillery position.

"Continue to rush and we will return."

The general of the Qing army said, he gave his men a hope. As long as they survive this wave, they can leave this **** field temporarily.
