1416 Collision 2
When the first round of feather arrows had not yet fallen, the officers of the Shandong cavalry blew a long and sharp whistle with the whistle in their mouths! This is a signal to defend against the rain of arrows!
After hearing this, the soldiers immediately bent forward, stretched their necks, and stretched out their arms and shields to cover their faces and the head of the war horse! This posture will make people's body match the trajectory of the feather arrows! In this way, the area of the arrows is smallest, and they can also use helmets and shoulder armor to welcome the shooting of the feather arrows!
The feather arrow whistled down with the sound of the wind and fell into the cavalry group! In an instant, various sounds sounded!
The sound of "ding ding dangdang" is the sound of feather arrows shooting on the helmets and shoulder armors! There is also the "puff" sound of feather arrows entering the flesh is even more cunning! The "puff" sound of shooting into the land cannot make people feel at ease! There is even a shrill scream that hurts people's ears!
As the feather arrows fell, many cavalry fell directly from the horse or were thrown by the injured war horses! But no matter which result, their fate was not great! Because behind them was a rushing war horse herd, it was difficult for the cavalry to control the war horses and not step on them!
And instead of taking the risk of controlling the war horse and jumping over the fallen soldiers, it is safer to ride the horse and step on it! Because if you do this, if you don’t control it well, you will also fall into it!
What's more, the cavalry had no time to care about the fallen comrades. Because they had more important things to do, that is, to kill the enemy! Therefore, all the cavalry who survived the rain of arrows focused their attention in front and prepared to assassinate the Qing soldiers who appeared at any time! Even if more feather arrows fell behind them and more comrades screamed, they could not turn back!
The battle ahead continued. Compared with the simple weapon combat of the Qing soldiers, the Shandong cavalry had two more tricks here!
When they put the cavalry spear flat, they had already drawn a short gun with their left hand and held it in their hands with the reins of the horse. When they threw away the cavalry spear and pulled out the sabre, the short gun in their left hand had already started, and then they were swinging their swords to kill! So in melee combat, Shandong cavalry has the advantage!
In this short moment, a very strange situation formed on the battlefield! The Qing army's rear formation continued to attack the mountains with feather arrows.
Central part of the Eastern Cavalry! Any Qing soldiers who were running to the same position would shoot three arrows, then they would collect their bows and take off their weapons, and prepare to fight forward!
This dense feather arrow cover caused a lot of casualties to the Shandong cavalry! This means that they had to pass through a fixed rain of arrows, but they could not avoid it, so they could only rush in!
At the front line, three consecutive different attack methods gave the Qing army great damage! Those who were stabbed by a single rifle will basically be knocked down! Those who were hit by several rifle at the same time will be blown to pieces by the impact!
The person hit by the short gun has little wounds, but he has absolutely no combat power! If you are lucky, you can lie on the horse's back and escape a way out. If you are unlucky, you will fall down from the horse and step on it to death for your companions!
As for the Qing cavalry who were chopped by the sabre, they would have a long hole in their bodies! Not to mention killing, just bleeding will take their lives!
As for the Qing cavalry, compared with the Ming army, most of them are equestrian masters, who are good at fighting immediately. They can use various horse weapons with good ability! Moreover, they are old in the battle formation and will specialize in taking key positions such as the opponent's throat, face, ribs, and elbows!
As for the few Qing cavalry who used heavy weapons, it was even more difficult to resist! The heavy weapons were extremely powerful with the help of horsepower! Even the armor would be twisted and deformed even when they hit the plate armor! Although the human body inside was not broken, the internal organs would definitely be severely damaged, and it was basically a dead end!
As the war progressed further, the benefits of the fence-mounted tactics were soon seen! The Shandong cavalry formed a close formation, so the entire width of the team was much smaller than that of the Qing army! This caused both sides of the central government to fight to the death, and the Qing army had fewer enemies!
However, many Qing cavalry on both wings could not find the enemy, so they could only wield their weapons and ran over in vain! Only those cavalrymen who were close to the walls had the chance to fight with the other side, causing a lot of waste of troops!
So in this hedge, the Shandong cavalry clearly had the upper hand! The route they rushed through was covered with corpses of people and horses! Judging from the contempt, the Qing army's corpses were far more than the Shandong cavalry's corpses!
The bloody battle continued! Just near the front line, the first-class soldier Geng Daxing reached out and wiped the blood from his face, then shook the feather arrows inserted in his helmet twice and pulled it out!
Geng Daxing was a little unlucky when he passed through the rain of arrows! A feather arrow shot straight upwards on his head! And the feather arrow happened to shoot through the helmet! Although it was stuck by the helmet and did not go deeper, the tip of the arrow still pierced his scalp! Blood flowed down his forehead, flowing through the bridge of his nose and slid to his mouth!
Although this was not a serious injury, Geng Daxing was also dizzy when he was shot at the arrow! If he hadn't grabbed the horse's hair, he might have fallen down from the horse! Fortunately, he has now woken up.
Now he is about ten horses away from the front cavalry. This is a standard number. Within this distance, there is plenty of time no matter what tactical action he makes.
Geng Daxing widened his eyes and looked forward. Although the front was covered by his companion's back, he could not see the battle situation ahead. However, with waves of fighting and screams coming from the front, he knew clearly that the battle not far away was extremely fierce!
At this time, Geng Daxing had made all preparations for combat. The short gun in his left hand and the reins were held firmly together, the rifle in his right hand had been flattened, and the handle of the gun was clamped under his armpit.
At this time, all his energy was concentrated on the back of his front row cavalry, because he didn't know when there might be a gap in the front row, and countless Qing cavalry would come over!
At this time, not only Geng Daxing concentrated all his attention, but his companions were also in a state of fighting! At the same time, they all aimed at their comrades around them with their own light, trying to keep themselves and the front line in a level!
As the sound of fighting in front became closer, Geng Daxing knew that it was about to come to battle! He gritted his teeth and raised his rifle in his right hand quickly! This was a signal, which meant that he asked his comrades on both sides to follow him to command the rifle.
