0716 Desperate Assault
Moreover, as the front was broken and the escaped foot appeared, the advancement speed of the team behind was obviously slowing down, and it was obvious that they were shaken. The whole team was in danger of collapse! So Masato Hirotian shouted loudly: "On the battlefield there, our robes are being massacred! Now they need us to make a strong blow! For our family and for victory, we will do a Yuzai charge this time! So I will run in front of everyone!"
These cavalrymen enjoy a relatively high status and more support at the Tokugawa family on weekdays. This also cultivates their higher sense of honor. Therefore, with Masato Hirota briefly inspiring, the panic in their eyes has gradually been replaced by firmness.
When Masato Hirota turned his horse's head and raised his sword, the soldiers were also prepared and determined to repay the kindness of their family with one's own death.
Masato Hirota estimated the distance. At this moment, they had left the design range of the artillery, so there was enough time and distance to accelerate the war horses. As Masato Hirota's sword tilted forward, the soldiers rode their horses and trotted!
The cavalry had just run a distance, and five solid shells smashed into the cavalry group like meteors. At this time, the cavalry group was still relatively dense. Five shells knocked down eight horses, causing a stir of chaos again. But the chaos subsided.
Masato Hirota knew that he had entered the range of the artillery, so he pressed the Taidao forward with force. The cavalry group immediately accelerated and ran forward with all their might. The certificate of graduation decided to sacrifice even more than half of the cavalry and rush into the enemy's position to kill the gunners. In that case, his side still has hope of victory.
In the Mercedes-Benz, Masato Hirota vaguely heard the dull sound of cannons coming from the front. Then he saw five large balls flying into the air. When they reached the highest point, they seemed to pause for a moment before they accelerated to hit them!
Masato Hirota leaned over in despair and hid himself behind the horse's neck. He hoped to avoid this round of attacks. However, things were not diverted by his will. After the five flowering bullets landed, a large number of projectiles and flames exploded, causing a large number of casualties!
One of the flowering bullets fell to the ground.
A horse jumped over him and was directly crushed by the flowering bullet! Blood and flesh sprayed in all directions like a fountain, smearing the surrounding cavalry and war horses!
The almost same chaos as last time appeared again! The injured war horses were neighing and slamming their knights. The cavalry behind them hit the injured horse in front, and the two sides were in a ball, and then more people and horses collided with them.
At this moment, the chaos and disorder of the Japanese cavalry reached its peak! After all, they had not been hit by heated weapons and had no experience in dealing with them! Sometimes, the blood and will alone could not resist steel and fire!
Fortunately, the other cavalry were not stunned this time, and some riding skillfully tried to pass through the chaotic area directly. Most of the cavalry slowed down and detoured to both sides, trying to bypass the chaotic area in front.
At this moment, the gunners who seized the opportunity fired dense shotguns, knocking the slowed cavalry to the ground. However, this time the cavalry did not stop. They rode their horses and stepped on the bodies of their companions and war horses and continued to attack forward! Even though they saw the injured companions calling under the horse's hooves, they rode their horses without hesitation!
For these cavalrymen, if they are caught in the charge, almost no one can survive unless they are lucky! Even if they are not broken by their necks or internal organs, they will be trampled to death by their companions behind them! Because the galloping cavalry has no way to slow down! Even rash slowdown will put themselves in danger.
The cavalry had a good idea, and they worked hard for it. However, under the alternating blow of flowering bullets and shotguns, they still fell to the ground in batches! In just a few hundred meters, the ground was covered with dead people and horses' corpses.
However, these cavalry still had no idea of retreating, but instead tried hard to speed up the horse. They hoped to pave the way for their companions to victory through their own sacrifices.
When they approached the range of firearms, only more than 2,000 cavalrymen were left. Most of them died of artillery bombardment and their own trampling. However, this made Masato Hirota see hope! He estimated that he would be able to do it again.
If five or six hundred people are sacrificed, you can rush into the enemy's position! The two thin lines of soldiers cannot withstand the impact of the cavalry.
Liu Pei has been paying attention to the Japanese cavalry that was attacking wildly. He and Zhengsheng of Hirotian came to the same conclusion. This made Liu Pei frown. He immediately ordered: "Let the 10 mortar cannons turn the direction and bombard the opponent's cavalry! Don't shoot volleys, use two teams and one group to blow out a road of death!"
The mortar gunners who received the order immediately turned around and bombarded the cavalry units. The continuous explosions began to sound among the cavalry groups. Every time the explosion sounded, several cavalry or more than a dozen cavalrymen fell to the ground. They tripped over almost the same number of cavalry.
In addition to directly killing cavalry and war horses, each shell landing point will also become a source of chaos in the entire team. Not only will the cavalry slow down, but it will also cause many cavalry to trip to the ground or simply bump into each other. Many war horses are even frightened by the sound of explosions and simply lead the cavalry to leave the charge team and run away from the charge team.
After each round of flowering bullet explosion, dense shotguns will be launched. The Japanese cavalry fell to the ground in this round of attacks. Moreover, with the assault of the cavalry, muskets also joined the massacre!
Masato Hirotian understood the power of the musket, so he had already bowed his head and asked the war horse to cover himself. But this did not escape his fate. Just as he was riding a horse, a lead bullet hit the war horse's chest!
The pained war horse man stood up! Masato Hirota hugged the horse's neck hard, shouted loudly, and stabbed the horse with a spur, trying to calm the war horse. But the pained war horse could not soothe it until it was hit by two lead bullets again, and the exhausted war horse finally neighed and fell to the ground!
Masato Hirota is good at martial arts, so he will leave the horse's back when the war horse falls. He just rolled a few times on the ground and wanted to stand up, a horse's thick chest appeared in front of him!
