“Bang bang…”
A row of white smoke puffed out again, and the second round of three-stage shooting began.
The musketeers after the first row fired did not retreat to the third row to reload, but withdrew into the vehicle formation through the chains between the Hussite chariots.
The Hussite chariot chariots have a soldier who is responsible for opening and closing the chains.
Gunshots rang out, and another row of barbarian cavalry fell.
At this time, the barbarian cavalry that rushed over had realized that they had entered a trap, but they could only continue to outflank them because they would be hit by the cavalry behind them once they stopped.
What made them despair was that when they rounded to the side of the car formation, they still faced the strange weapons of the Qingzhou Army. Row after row of barbarian cavalry fell down.
At the same time, the sound of artillery sounded on the battlefield. Black cannonballs bounced on the ground, hitting the legs of horses and breaking them. They hit people and people were directly penetrated. Thirty artillery pieces roared wantonly on the battlefield.
Kuha, who was already confident of winning, was stunned. The artillery of the Qingzhou Army was blocked by soldiers. He did not see any artillery in the vehicle formation at all.
He finally realized that he had been fooled.
In just an instant, more than two thousand cavalry fell in front of the Qingzhou Army’s formation, while the remaining cavalry continued to take a circuitous route, but after bursts of white smoke, these cavalry fell one after another.
At this time, the Qingzhou Army, after shooting, the musketeers hid in the chariot formation, and at the same time, the chariot soldiers quickly opened the chassis of the chariot.
The Hussite chariot is similar to a box, and the cover of the box is a defensive barrier during war.
The covers covered with iron plates were lifted up, and the entire vehicle formation immediately turned into a two-meter-high bastion. There were gun holes reserved on the cover. The vehicle soldiers holding flintlock guns immediately followed the gun holes. Outside shooting.
At this time, the barbarian cavalry had already rushed within fifty steps. When they wanted to fire their bows and arrows to fight back, they found in despair that the Qingzhou soldiers in front had already hid in the car formation, and their bows and arrows only hit the erected car boards. It makes a crisp sound and then falls.
What made them even more crazy was that white smoke kept coming out of the holes in the car plates, and the cavalry kept falling.
And this is not what scares them the most, because every time they complete a round of shooting, Qingzhou’s tank board will be pulled down, and then the Qingzhou army who just hid inside will use that strange weapon to shoot again. , and suddenly the cavalrymen fell on their backs again, falling in pieces.
In the chariot formation, Niu Ben looked at the current results with satisfaction. The barbarian cavalry lost more than 3,000 people, while the Qingzhou Army had almost no casualties.
He looked at the chariot soldier who not only raised the chariot’s deck but also put it down with a smile on his lips.
The panels on both sides of this chariot can be put down. In order to enhance the survivability of this chariot, King Qi installed a layer of iron plates on all four sides of the chariot.
During a battle, the outer panels were erected for defense, and the inner panels were lowered to form a slope. Soldiers could board the chariot through the slope and continuously exchange shots.
During the gap when the barbarians were shooting arrows, the chariot soldiers could also lower the outer panels of the chariot, allowing the soldiers hiding inside to use three-stage shooting to attack the barbarian cavalry galloping against the edge of the chariot.
In this way, the car array not only protected the musketeers, but also allowed the musketeers to continue shooting.
After several rounds of shooting, the barbarian cavalry that rushed over fell one by one. At this time, the barbarian cavalry stopped attacking.
“Devil, this is the devil’s weapon.”
A barbarian cavalry screamed in horror, causing chaos in the cavalry. The second group of cavalry who were preparing to attack watched three thousand cavalry falling continuously in the white smoke and flames.
And they caused almost no casualties to the Qingzhou Army.
Fear began to spread in the hearts of the barbarian cavalry. At this moment, they suddenly recalled the terror of being dominated outside Cangzhou City.
The Qingzhou Army is invincible!
Encountering chaos in Jizhou, more than a thousand people had been lost, and now more than 3,000 people had been lost in the blink of an eye.
The remaining cavalry all looked frightened and had no fighting spirit.
If this continues, they will only die one by one. This is not a matter of courage, but because this is a desperate battle.
“Kill, charge forward!”
The enemy is right in front of him, and Kuha is unwilling to give in. How can the invincible barbarian cavalry lose to the soldiers of Dayu, how can a wolf lose to a rabbit.
In hysteria, Kuha shouted: “Charge me! Kill those who retreat!”
No one listened to his order, and the cavalry refused to charge again.
Because in their eyes, the Qingzhou Army now holds the devil’s weapons, and these weapons will only bring them death.
“Charge! Charge! Charge me!” Kuha’s eyes were red, and when the scimitar in his hand fell, a soldier was killed.
The screams continued, but his orders were not carried out, and under his fury the cavalry began to scatter.
In the car formation, Niu Ben observed Kuha’s cavalry with a telescope. After seeing Kuha’s actions, he immediately seized the opportunity.
“The barbarians have lost their will to fight, let the cavalry attack.” Niu Ben ordered.
Lu Fei received the order and immediately rectified the cavalry in the car formation. In order to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the barbarians, Luo Xin fired the artillery more cheerfully, firing shells at the barbarian cavalry one after another.
The Qingzhou cavalry attacked. At this time, the chariot soldiers immediately opened the chains and opened several gaps in the chariot array. The cavalry swarmed out from these gaps.
“Kill these barbarian bastards and confront me!”
A thousand cuirassiers rushed out of the car formation and quickly formed a neat and tight formation as they ran. Lu Fei raised the saber in his hand, and the horses rushed towards the barbarian cavalry at the fastest speed.
Kuha came after a long journey and was already exhausted, and was unexpectedly attacked by Qingzhou with a flintlock gun. The soldiers were frightened out of their courage.
At this time, facing the charge of three thousand cavalry in unison, the barbarian cavalry finally collapsed completely and fled for their lives along the official road.
In panic, the formation of the barbarian cavalry was in chaos, and the horses were crowded with each other and unable to escape in time.
The distance of three hundred meters was reached in an instant when the war horses were mobilized with all their strength.
Only when they were a hundred meters away, the cuirassiers picked up the pulley crossbows from the side of the horse. Because they were too hasty, the cuirassiers were not equipped with guns at all, so they could only temporarily pick up the pulley crossbows.
On both sides of the war horse hung two strung pulley crossbows.
When they reached the shooting range, the cuirassiers immediately released their arrows, and the powerful crossbow arrows “swish” flew towards the panicked barbarian cavalry, causing a burst of miserable howling.
Then Lu Fei picked up another pulley crossbow and fired another arrow fifty meters away.
Dropping the pulley crossbow, Lu Fei raised his saber again.
Two rounds of shooting caused heavy losses to the crowded barbarian cavalry, and the barbarian cavalry became even more chaotic.
At this moment, the cuirassier with the saber raised appeared in an instant. Under the golden sunlight, the saber shone with the cold texture of metal. Lu Fei swung his saber down, and the head of a barbarian cavalry rose into the sky, followed by splashes of blood.
At this moment, three thousand Qingzhou cavalry plunged into the barbarian array like sharp swords. Their screams broke through the sky, and the Qingzhou cavalry harvested lives like the scythe of the god of death.
At this time, the barbarian cavalry was only focused on escaping. At this moment, the Qingzhou cavalry turned into hungry wolves, while the barbarian cavalry was just a panicked rabbit.
