Chapter 524 Who remembers this thing?
"What the hell! I'm so careless.
If I had known before, I should have brought an improved Brown Bess musket with rifling when setting out, instead of this thing that is a hundred meters away and relies on metaphysics to hit the target."
The above were the most resentful thoughts that Huang Yizhi, the owner of the West Factory, had in his heart before he died in the battle.
The specific situation was when Huang Yizhi, with a group of cavalrymen acting as fire brigade, rushed towards the accident site in the area he was responsible for.
Soon after, this guy discovered that something was wrong.
There are actually two things that are wrong.
First, the movement of this group of Jin people was a bit loud. The Jin cavalry troops he encountered in the past few days usually only had three to five hundred people in size, and the number in the top of the sky was only seven or eight hundred.
But when they hurried over, two or three miles away, they could see fifteen or six hundred Jin cavalry rushing over at high speed.
A cavalry battalion with a serious shortage of personnel could not stop them at all.
With such a little doubt, when Huang Yizhi picked up the telescope, he saw a Jurchen Ten Thousand Captain wearing golden armor and a wound on his shoulder.
After being escorted by a group of personal guards in the middle position, he immediately knew the answer in his mind.
According to the information, this guy should be the deputy commander Wanyan Hunqi of this group of harassing cavalry.
For such a big fish, it is completely understandable that the troops around him are larger and more elite in quality.
The fact that the deputy commander of the opponent's company also personally dispatched the troops showed that the situation of this group of Jin cavalry was also at a very difficult time.
For this reason, Huang Yizhi felt a little excited.
Of course, he knew better that if he could kill Wanyan Hunqi, a Jurchen deputy commander, it would have a greater impact on the opponent's morale.
Unfortunately, he clearly knew that this was very difficult to achieve and was basically impossible.
As for the reason, this involves another point.
Secondly, Huang Yizhi overestimated his physical condition.
After experiencing so many missions, the riding skills of a veteran like Factory Gong are actually no worse than those of senior elite cavalry.
But now, because of his injuries, it seems a little difficult for him to even maintain his balance on the horse.
Even after being shaken and shaken, he barely managed to fall off the horse, but he could still use himself as an arrow like before to lead his brothers into the enemy formation and kill Wanyan Hun, the enemy chieftain.
Fortunately, Huang Yizhi took him behind him, and there were a total of more than two hundred knights under his command.
After seeing that the factory owner was ill, a company commander immediately shouted loudly: "Send a signal and continue to ask for help from neighboring troops~"
Under such an order, a guard fired another sky-piercing monkey.
The difference is that after such a sky-piercing monkey explodes, a cloud of red smoke fills the air, and it takes a while for it to completely dissipate with the wind.
This kind of red signal flare means that a large group of Jin cavalry is attacking here, and all the surrounding cavalry need to come over immediately for support.
In addition, the army must stop advancing immediately and form a car formation to prevent the Jin people from rushing into the formation.
After the company commander shouted such a sentence in his mouth, he took the seventy or eighty men and horses around him, and while kicking and beating the horses desperately, the speed of the horses was increased again.
After passing Huang Yi, they guarded the factory man whom they admired so much. There were about ten people among them, and they surrounded him tightly.
The company commander spontaneously stood in front of the team and led more than two hundred people to face the opponent.
Even when he looked at these particularly elite opponents in front of him, he was actually very frightened, but it still didn't affect his kicking horse to keep moving forward.
Soon, the two sides were thirty or forty steps apart.
The subsequent battle process is no different from the previous process.
What's the difference? The Song Dynasty's New Army Cavalry and the Jin's Cavalry are such old rivals. They have fought hundreds of times before and after. There are no new moves between the two sides.
It was nothing more than the New Army cavalry relying on the short muskets in their hands to fire first and then take advantage.
Then the two sides began to engage in a fancy mounted battle; one after another, the Jin and Song people passed each other and were knocked off their horses by their opponents' weapons.
Once you fall from the horse, it is basically equivalent to death.
If there is something, it must be a little different from other battles.
That is, Huang Yizhi, who knew he was about to die, after picking up the Brown Bess musket, wanted to drag Wanyan Hunqi along with him before he died, using this as a sufficient support to die together.
So in Huang Yizhi's mouth, he cursed the first sentence...
Why? For a smoothbore musket like the Brown Bess, as long as the distance is a little further, it is quite touching that it is on target.
As a result, now we are on an uneven horseback. It can only be said that it is normal to miss the target, and it would be a strange thing if we hit it.
Therefore, in order to aim as accurately as possible, Huang Yizhi made the probability of hitting the target higher.
The only way is to draw the firing distance closer to the target, thinking that it is best to rush within forty or fifty steps before firing.
In order to achieve such a goal, Huang Yizhi clearly felt that his swaying body might be thrown off the horse in the next second, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
During this process, I saw some disturbing situations out of the corner of my eye.
For example, looking at the company commander who was at the front, he was shot into the air by a lance in his hand.
He was hit on the top of his head by an oncoming mace. The helmet on his head was suddenly severely deformed, and the Tianling Cap underneath was smashed into pieces.
And he watched the soldiers surrounding him being knocked down one after another.
But no matter what, the hands of this guy holding the Black Bass musket are a stable one in this process.
It's just that everyone can work. After gradually entering a strange dying state, except for the target's head with a mink hat, there is no room for anything else.
Therefore, he did not notice some other fatal situations.
When Wanyan Hun, the Jin deputy commander, was discovered by Huang Yizhi and became a target, how could he not notice that the Jin man, the captain of ten thousand men, was the factory owner who was being protected by more than a dozen Song people.
After a big move, a strong bow painted with gold paint and having one stone and five powers came into his hands.
However, the knights of the new army also guarded the factory master very well. Even if the guy drew the bow string to the full length, he could not find a chance to shoot the sharp arrow.
.
As for the long firecracker held in the opponent's hand, he was not worried at all.
Both sides have fought so many times now, and they have even captured some live musketeers. How could they not know that even if they stand still, their accuracy is quite bad.
What's more, it would be more difficult to hit him on an uneven horseback.
So at this moment, he was also approaching the target under the protection of his men.
The difference is that because there are more troops, the cavalry combat capabilities of the personnel are much stronger; so in such a cavalry confrontation, the Jin side has already occupied an absolute advantage on the scene.
Even if he didn't find a chance to take action in the end, this big fish from the Song Dynasty and more than 200 cavalrymen from the Song Dynasty in front of him would basically be dead.
In this way, the distance between Huang Yizhi and Wanyan Hunqi became closer and closer.
The number of people covering and protecting the two men continued to decrease due to collisions and battles, but the situation on Huang Yizhi's side was obviously worse in comparison.
This situation continued until the distance between the two people was only eighty meters; in an accidental coincidence, an opportunity appeared that was fleeting for both parties.
Without any hesitation, both of them took action decisively.
The factory owner pulled the trigger on his fingertips, and Wanyan Hunqi released the fully-stretched bowstring in his hand.
The next second later, the body of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty, the Duke of Xichang, the Duke of Wei, and the "Huan Sheng" master who had risen like a comet in the literary world was directly shot through by an arrow, weighing more than 200 kilograms.
Because he twisted his body slightly at the moment the arrow was hit, the sharp arrow that was supposed to hit his left ventricle was slightly deflected.
But even so, the yellow fat man who was originally a dead man died the moment he fell off his horse.
In his original plan, before he died, he was going to look like a movie plot and cast a loving look in the direction of Yanshan.
The result? There is no such chance.
At the same time, one of the founding heroes of the Jin Kingdom was not only later named Xu Guogong due to his merits in the original historical line, but was also deposed as one of the heroes of the Yanqing of the Jin Dynasty.
After getting a bullet hole in his forehead, he also died cleanly.
Before he died, there was still an expression of disbelief on his face, perhaps because he really didn't understand why the opponent could still hit him under the current environment and distance?
As for the two men who fell, they were discovered by their respective subordinates at the first time.
For these people, it's like the sky is falling.
Immediately, they no longer cared about fighting with their opponents; they all pulled the reins, adjusted the horses' heads in the direction where their respective generals landed, and rushed over desperately.
Even if you can't save the lives of your own generals, you still have to snatch their bodies back and not let your opponents snatch them away.
Because that means that maybe the head of one's own general will become a rich trophy for the opponent; it can be picked up with a spear to show force.
If this is the case, how can they survive in this world?
Soon after, both sides each grabbed their own leader.
But one look at the appearance of the two of them, without even touching their noses to see if there was still breath, they knew that they were completely dead.
At this moment, on the left and right sides of this small battlefield, only three or four miles away, there were one or two hundred cavalry rushing towards each other.
To be continued...
