Chapter 1316 Showdown with Hussars

With an order, although it was still bright, the army began to set up camp.The infantry was busy, and the cavalry disarmed. Of course, there were also some cavalry scattered in all directions, thinking that they were the eyes and ears of the army.

Wladyslaw IV took his generals to inspect the camp, and he didn't care much when he saw the soldiers moving unhurriedly.It will take a few days for the Ming army to stay in Moscow anyway, so it is quite prudent to take defensive measures on my own side now.It is estimated that there will be tough battles to be fought in the future. At this time, these soldiers should not be demanded too much.

He thinks this way, let alone other people.Many soldiers were chatting while working.

"What do you think of the Ming army? Is it the same as the Mongols before?"

"It is said that it is not. A cousin of mine in the Netherlands said that the Easterners are very cowardly. They have fleets going out there, so just grab it!"

"No way, if this is the case, then why is Tsarist Russia so frightened? Inviting troops from several of our countries to help them will cost a lot, right?"

"I don't quite believe it either. Doesn't it mean that the army has already appeared in Moscow? This came too fast, it shouldn't be bad!"

"Who knows, maybe the rumors have expanded!"

"..."

Similar to these soldiers, the hussars were resting. While taking care of their horses, they were also curious about the Ming army from the Far East.

"This Ming army came so fast, it looks a bit like our hussars!"

"When we meet again, we must let them taste the power of our hussars!"

"Yes, our hussars are the strongest. It's fine if the Ming army doesn't come. If you dare to come, you must let them know what a real cavalry is!"

"..."

A major boost to the rise of Poland is the hussars.It can be said that the hussars fought for Poland's southern and northern wars, often fighting more with less, and made great achievements.So much so that in later generations, many hussars boasted that the hussars were the most powerful cavalry in the world at that time.

It is undeniable that the hussars are indeed strong.In their battles against Sweden, the Principality of Moscow, and the Ottoman Empire, they often won more than they lost, and displayed their power.However, if you analyze each battle carefully, you will find that many battles where you win more with less are not because of how strong the hussars are, but because the opponents are too weak.

For example, in the battle of Krushen between Poland and Tsarist Russia, it was a pig-like opponent that fulfilled the reputation of the hussars.There are also the Battle of Kirholm and the Battle of Tezhianna. In these two battles, the Polish hussars did defeat the opponent's cavalry, but the opponent's infantry was finally defeated by Polish artillery.

As for the famous Battle of Vienna, the hussars not only attacked slowly after almost a day of fierce battle between the Ottoman army and the Shenluo infantry, but also because of the disorder of military discipline, they were busy looting the spoils, which caused the main force of the Ottoman army to withdraw from the battlefield.

At this moment, they were all chatting proudly. Suddenly, feeling a little wrong, they all looked in the same direction.

In the distance, a dozen or so winged cavalry were galloping back on horseback.If it's just this, it's nothing. The key is that behind them, there are cavalry in red uniforms chasing them.The elite cavalry is even better than the proud hussars.

Right under everyone's eyes, the pursuers shot arrows from time to time, but they were able to hit the hussars who fled back at high speed.

There is no need to warn, Wladyslaw IV's face immediately became serious, and he shouted for alert.

As a result, the Polish infantry immediately put down the work at hand and was busy putting on armor and preparing to fight.The hussars were no exception. Some of the hussars who had not rested immediately rushed out to meet their companions.

Seeing this situation, the pursuer did not continue to attack, but turned a corner and circled around the Polish army from a distance.

At this time, according to the descriptions of those who fled from Moscow, Wladyslaw IV knew that the one who passed on the red uniform was the Ming army from the Far East!
Seeing the exquisite riding skills of this Ming army, he couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart.

The rescued hussars galloped in front of King Wladyslaw IV, rolled their saddles off their horses, panted and shouted loudly: "Report, Your Highness, the Ming army...the main force of the Ming army is coming here!"

"What, how could it be so fast?" Wladyslaw IV was a little unbelievable. Just now he thought it was just a scout from the Ming army. Unexpectedly, even the main force of the Ming army came over?

Before the hussar could answer, Wladyslaw IV could already feel the ground trembling, and the sound of thunderous hoofbeats approaching from far to near. Hearing the sound, he looked up, and saw a red line in the distance appeared in his field of vision, and Straight towards him.

At this moment of understanding, Wladyslaw IV's face suddenly turned pale, but at least he had experienced the battle of protecting the country, so he immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for war.

In fact, when I saw the scouts chasing just now, the Polish army had already begun to regroup.However, it will take time to re-wear the armor and form a tight formation from the original camp state.

Wladyslaw IV looked at his army, and then looked up at the red ocean speeding in the distance, his body trembled slightly.

"Your Highness, it's too late, you go first, the last one will die!" A general suggested loudly with a serious face.

Wladyslaw IV listened, shook his head, and just ran away, he couldn't do it.

The general of the hussars at the side saw it, and immediately reported: "Your Highness, please allow my hussars to stop the enemy and buy time for the infantry!"

If you don't run, that's all there is to it.

After hearing this, Wladyslaw IV nodded immediately, and there was no time for nonsense.

The general of the hussars obviously knew this too, so he didn't talk nonsense, he rode his horse back immediately, raised his arms and shouted: "Hussars, follow me to form an array to meet the enemy!"

This hussars were obviously also elite, and they didn't need many orders, and they immediately followed behind their leader and marched forward while forming a team.

Column after column, team after team, soon, less than [-] hussars formed a camp on the march.

The general of the Hussars looked back and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Hussars, we must win!"

Behind him, there was a thunderous voice: "We must win!"

Behind them, those infantry who witnessed the hussars meeting the enemy also shouted to cheer for them: "The hussars will win!"

Whether it is the infantry or the cavalry, they all have strong confidence. On this Eastern European plain, the hussars have never encountered a real opponent!This time, even though they are enemies from the Far East, we still need to let them know how powerful the hussars are.

The horse speed slowly began to accelerate, and these hussars consciously began to form teams of about 200 people.Between each wing cavalry, knee to knee, lined up in two dense horizontal lines, and the long hollow lances began to stand forward.In the position of their horses' heads, there are also two revolver flintlocks, and they are also equipped with Polish sabers.This is intended to be used for melee combat after giving the enemy a fatal blow with a long spear.

In the past, the hussars could deal a fatal blow to the enemy every time with this, and beat the enemy to pieces!This time, there should be no exception.

Wladyslaw IV couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the formation had been formed!
And it was Li Dingguo's eight thousand cavalry army who charged in the distance.Through the binoculars, he saw cavalrymen coming out from the Polish army, and they were charging on the wall. He couldn't help but sneered in his heart, and immediately began to issue orders.

Afterwards, the formation of the Ming army began to change. The Qingqi in front tended to spread. Relying on the large number of people, they spread slowly, like a beast with its mouth open, trying to eat the enemy in front of it. Lose.

Seeing this, Wladyslaw IV in the distance was not surprised but happy, and the cavalry hedged to see who was tougher and could break the opponent's formation.Now that the Ming army is taking the initiative to spread, isn't it that they have exposed their weaknesses.It seems that the Ming army from the Far East is nothing more than that!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly looked again, and couldn't help but be surprised.The hussars have always been proud of the wall-riding charge, but they were seen in the Ming army camp. More importantly, what was exposed in the Ming army's abdomen was the wall-riding charge of the heavy armored cavalry.

Including those hussars who were charging, they, like their king, were very happy when they saw the Ming army's countermeasures, thinking that they could teach the Ming army a lesson.But when they saw the Ming army's real countermeasures, especially when the Ming army would also charge over the wall, they were all quite shocked.

For a long time, the opponent cavalry of the Polish hussars is generally the cuirassiers and carbines of Western Europe. They are used to riding in rows to the front of the formation to fire their firearms, and then gallop back to the rear of the squadron to reload. The hussars A daring charge over the wall always breaks them to pieces.

But now, the Ming army can actually use their trump card tricks, and from a visual inspection, it seems that the opponent's equipment is well-equipped.

Naturally, they didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen liked to read online articles in later generations. He once read an online article called "Fat Qing", in which the protagonist had a wall-riding charge, which seemed to be invincible.He naturally kept this matter in mind, and brought up this idea at the right time. How powerful is it? There are so many cavalry generals in the Ming Dynasty. You can tell at a glance, whether it is good to use it or not, it is a matter of course. up.

It can be seen from this that it is really beneficial to read online articles when you have nothing to do, especially those about time-traveling history. Maybe one day, if you really time-travel, it will be a bit expensive!

Gossip aside, after seeing that the Ming army would do this move, the hussars were shocked, and the distance between the two sides got closer.At this time, they suddenly realized that it seemed that the Ming army did not ride long spears, but each of them carried a short stick. Do you use a short stick to deal with the long lance on your side?If so, God bless!
However, after getting closer, the people with good eyes saw the short sticks held by the heavy armored cavalrymen of the Ming army with small holes. Immediately, they suddenly understood, is this a firearm?Although they didn't understand why the Ming army didn't use lances first and then firearms, at least they vaguely felt that the Ming army would never be stupid!

When they were thinking, Qing cavalry scattered by the Ming army had already approached them, and these Ming soldiers began to throw bows and arrows and fire weapons.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Blah blah blah..."

In the excitement, the hussars who were charging in a group fell off their horses one by one.In this case, basically ten dead but no life.More importantly, these hussars who were hit by bullets and arrows often disrupted the charge formation of their remaining hussars.Although they wanted to fight back against the Ming army passing by on their two wings, the frontal enemy was the most critical enemy, and with their small number of people, they could only grit their teeth, regardless of the blows caused by the Ming army on both sides. Try to maintain the formation as much as possible and rush hard.

I have to say that the Polish hussars are indeed powerful.If it were an ordinary cavalry army, under the continuous attack of the Ming army, the formation would definitely be messed up, or they would be unable to withstand the pressure and flee.However, the hussars did not.

Seeing this, Wladyslaw IV in the distance was proud, but also very heartbroken.In any case, after this battle, the hussars might be hurt.At this time, he also felt a little regretful, feeling that he should bring out the remaining hussars as well.

But he didn't care about regretting it anymore, the hussars used their glory to buy time for the infantry, and there was no delay.He immediately urged the infantry to complete the assembly quickly.

In this short time, the cavalry in the distance was about to meet, Wladyslaw IV quickly looked up, he was going to cut down, the heroic hussars, and penetrate the Ming army.

At this time, all the hussars also cheered up, clenched the hollow lances in their hands, and prepared to collide with the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer!
But at this moment, there was only an order from someone in the Ming army's camp, and clusters of gunpowder smoke suddenly appeared in the camp of the Ming army's heavy armored cavalry, and then dense "bang bang" sounds were heard.Anyone with experience knows that it was the firearms of the Ming army that fired.

Almost at the same time, the formation of the hussars charging was bitten off like a cake. The hussars who rushed in front fell to the ground with their horses and men, and a large area fell, which directly disrupted the charging ground behind. Hussars, the formation suddenly became chaotic.

The short sticks in the hands of the heavy cavalrymen of the Ming army were actually three-eyed guns, or even four-eyed and five-eyed guns. However, unlike the past, this has been transformed into a flintlock device, so there is no need to stop to ignite and fire.Of course, during this short charge, some of the flintlocks did not catch fire, so they could only blame their lives.And the firearms that are ignited are all fired together, so the firepower coverage is fierce, and it can just make up for the defect that a small number of guns did not fire.

The heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army did not use other weapons after firing a barrage of bullets. Instead, they used the three-eyed blunderbuss as a hammer, swung it up and smashed it at the hussars who were suddenly hit hard and lost their positions. .

This scene happened suddenly, and Wladyslaw IV was immediately stunned.No matter what he did, he never expected that the Ming army from the east would have so many means, and the hussars he was proud of were almost powerless to fight back.

Looking at the cavalry of the Ming army, it was like mercury pouring down the ground, almost without any obstruction, it broke the formation of the hussars.Those familiar figures with wings on their backs disappeared into the red ocean.

Not only him, but even the assembled infantry were dumbfounded.All along, they have been full of confidence in the hussars, but what they saw before them was that the invincible hussars in Eastern Europe could not stop the attack from the Ming army in the Far East.
