Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 371 Battle of Sand River 5
A rocket shot into the sky with a slender flame, and made a piercing howling sound, which made the hearts of Li Jiuzheng, Kong Youde and others sink.From the beginning of the fight to the present, the officers and soldiers have been doing the same tricks. A crossbow that can shoot three arrows in one minute, a musket that can shoot six bursts, a long gun that sprints at high speed, and a heavy armored warrior like a bulldozer. Scumbag but extremely lethal grenades... emerge endlessly, none of them are repeated, and each of them is a deadly thing.Now, when the defeat of the rebel army has been revealed, the officers and soldiers fired rockets again. What tricks do they want to play?
By the way, their Lancers have been staying a mile away without moving, and now shooting rockets must make their Lancers charge, aha, how smart I am!

If you answer correctly, you will get a prize!

The smug smiles on the corners of the mouths of those rebel soldiers who guessed right froze completely before they had time to fully bloom, because they were horrified to see, accompanied by rumbling roars, a black wave raised wind and sand all over the sky, and swept towards them come!Lancers!Sure enough, they are the Lancers of the Heluo New Army!
A total of 500 Lancers, lined up in five horizontal rows, rode their horses and rushed forward.Theoretically, a warhorse sprints at full speed and can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour. It takes up to 40 seconds to charge from a distance of 100 meters and crash into the middle of the enemy's formation. .But that is only a theoretical number after all. In fact, no war horse can gallop at an astonishing speed of 200 kilometers per hour for 300 seconds, unless it is driven mad by stabbing the horse's butt with a knife --- but in this way, this Even a war horse is useless, a blood-piercing horse, the more crazy it runs, the faster it dies.Therefore, the Lancers jogged at the beginning, and the speed was not fast. After running [-] meters, they began to accelerate gradually. After [-] meters, the horses spread their hooves, and the speed became faster and faster.After running [-] meters, the Lancers began to sprint at full speed. At this time, the horses had just reached their peak state in terms of excitement and physical strength. Under the sprint at full speed, they were as fast as thunder and lightning, and the ground rumbled under their horses' hooves. People can hardly stand on their feet.There are too many new recruits in the cavalry, and they are not very proficient in charging on the wall. Except for the two hundred veterans who have experienced the bloody battle of Daling River, the other cavalry walls are a bit out of joint and deformed, but they are enough dense and violent. Under the collision, the rebels can still be overwhelmed and walk around!
The rebel army was in chaos, and hundreds of cavalry roared and charged forward, riding bows and pouring a dense rain of arrows at the Lancers, knocking the helmets and breastplates of the Lancers.The sharp arrows hit the horse's paper armor, making a popping sound, and many of the horses in the front row were more or less hung with a few sharp arrows.But it’s useless, the rebels’ riding bows are too soft, not to mention the helmets and breastplates of the Lancers, even the paper armor on the horses can’t be shot through, at most it just makes the horses hurt like being stung by a wasp Just a moment.The painful war horse neighed wildly, unable to use it, and the speed was astonishingly fast.Zhong Ning blew the horn, and the Lancers didn't fight back with their crossbows. Instead, they leveled their horses and rammed straight into the rebel cavalry who were still firing arrows at them!The egg-thick pole swayed slightly as the horse galloped, and the two three-foot-long black streamers tied to the pole fluttered. The extremely sharp contrast, the flowing sharpness and straight blood grooves on the lance's blade, which is more than half a meter long, made the rebels terrified.At this moment, the entire battlefield seemed to have quieted down. Everyone held their breath, listening to the rumble of the Lancers sprinting at full speed, dumbfounded.

The Lancer charge has always been so gorgeous, so gorgeous that people can't breathe!
The hands of the rebel cavalry with their bows and arrows froze there, staring dumbfounded at the black waves approaching swiftly.They had never seen such a brutal and fierce attack, and they were completely at a loss.Facing the cold horses, they let out desperate screams!

In the next second, the Lancers were like a flood pouring into the inland, swallowing these hundreds of unlucky rebel cavalry in the blink of an eye.The muffled sound of the spear piercing into the bone became one piece, and the screams of the rebel cavalry came one after another, heart-piercing, and the black wave swept across, no matter whether it was a soldier or a general, they all treated them equally, piercing their chests with one spear.The sharp head made by Gao Menggang, coupled with the terrifying kinetic energy given by the horse's sprint, is enough to wear three or four big men wearing leather armor or cotton armor in a row. What armor can resist this attack? live such a terrible puncture?Probably only the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty can withstand such a terrible attack, but such expensive armor as the Mingguang armor is not something that the rebels can afford to equip, so it doesn't matter.The Lancers swept past, leaving only dead bodies and fallen horses. The black wave was wrapped in thunder and wind, and rushed towards the rebel infantry reserve. The blood-stained horses made the rebels terrified!
There were sporadic gunshots, and the surviving musketeers of the rebel army fired at the Lancers. The bullets hit the breastplate, and sparks and blood spattered everywhere.Sporadic Lancers were shot and fell, but such sparse firepower could not stop the Lancers' charge at all.The rebel archers tremblingly opened their bows and shot arrows at the Lancers who were rushing desperately, which also had no effect. If the heavy arrows shot by Hou Jin's infantry bows could still effectively kill the Lancers, but the rebels did not Such good equipment, so...

All that awaits them is death!
Just before they had time to shoot three arrows, the war horse with its paper armor full of arrows rushed in front of them. The bowl-sized horse hooves raised and fell, and the rebel archers who were stepped on had their tendons broken and their stomachs broken.More people were knocked into the air by the red-eyed horses, and they vomited blood continuously. Before they could get up, the horseshoes trampled on them fiercely.That is, a face-to-face meeting, the defense line composed of three thousand archers was overwhelmed, and the cavalry rode their horses on the archers' bodies, listening to the terrifying sound of the horse's hooves trampling on the bones, and went straight to the rebel army.Now there are only a few rows of rusty spears of different lengths left in front of them. The elite rebels pressed up to fight with the Heluo New Army, Tianxiong Army, and Zhejiang Army. Neither experience nor courage can compare with the Liao soldiers who fought against Jiannu with real knives and guns. What's more, what they have to face is the all-out assault of the most elite cavalry in the Heluo New Army!The Lancers could see the trembling of the spearmen from a long distance away, and there was nothing to be polite about, so they rushed straight up.The two hundred veterans who rushed forward were still leaning forward, holding the horse spears with both hands, and let out a loud roar in unison. The spearman knocked over together, exposing the spearman.Of course, the horse lance also pierced the shield, and it could no longer be used. They abandoned the horse lance without hesitation, pulled out their sabers, jumped into the middle of the spearmen, and slashed at the spearmen!These Lancers were so fierce that the rebels were all terrified. They threw down their spears and fled back crying. Li Jiuzheng's cronies killed more than a dozen people, but they couldn't stop the defeat.The main force of the Lancers poured in from the gap opened by the veterans like quicksilver, and Ma Qiang stabbed at the place with the most people. With one blow, three or four rebels were often threaded into a string.After wearing a string of food gourds, the Lancers stopped pulling out their horses and lances, and drew out their sabers to slash wantonly——especially for those Lancers who were from the frontier army, using a saber was more to their appetite, love You can cut whatever you want, and you can have whatever you cut.Of course, the Mongolian Lancers prefer to use horse lances. The usage of this thing is similar to that of a horse pole. Gently push aside the opponent's weapon, and then spin it. There is no trick. Weapons are naturally handy.

Whether it is a horse or a saber, it is not something that poorly equipped rebels can bear. Splashing everywhere, it was especially thrilling on the battlefield where there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.What made the rebels even more desperate was that the main force of the infantry of the Heluo New Army also launched a white-blade charge, and the hollow square formed into a solid square. In front of them, whether infantry or cavalry, were smashed into a sieve in the blink of an eye.Now the rebel army is no longer as simple as being unable to hold back, it is simply defeated like a mountain, seeing the Lancers ravaging the Chinese army whose strength is several times theirs, seeing the most fierce Liao soldiers being shot down by spears Row after row of stabbings, even the most arrogant rebel generals have to admit in despair that they have lost!Kong Youde was the first to lead his cavalry, which suffered heavy casualties, to flee towards Laizhou. This move spread like a plague. Countless rebels dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.The Heluo new army was also generous, allowing a gap to allow the rebels to escape smoothly, and then Xu Gong led three hundred scouts to chase after them. The Lancers disbanded the cavalry wall, each drew their sabers, and chased after them under the guidance of the scouts. Reluctant to give up, like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, thousands of rebels were separated under the shining blades, their mutilated bodies twitched and fell down, and the Shahe River was completely red...

Wu Sheng panted heavily and chopped up a gangster who was eager to escape and exposed his flaws. He patrolled the battlefield with red eyes. As far as he could see, there were piles of corpses and people kneeling on the ground with their hands raised begging for mercy. The rebels can no longer see an enemy soldier who is still resisting.The musketeers of Tianxiong Army gasped and regrouped, treating the wounded, receiving ammunition from the quartermaster and refilling the empty ammunition bags. The Heluo New Army, with high morale, launched a fierce attack on the fleeing enemy troops. The enemy troops who pursued and dared to block were turned into corpses under their attack. Unknown how many rebels were driven into the Shah River. Countless people drowned and countless people were shot dead by crossbows and muskets. The corpses blocked the river. The Shah River has stopped flowing!
In just half a day, 7000 rebels were crushed mercilessly, and there were as many as [-] corpses thrown on the battlefield, in addition to a large number of wounded soldiers and prisoners.The Cavalry Army of the Heluo New Army is refreshing the number of casualties of the rebels at an alarming rate. Shahe Town, this unusual place name will become a nightmare for the rebels!

In the distance, the sky was full of sand and dust, and a considerable-scale cavalry rushed out diagonally, intercepting the panic-stricken rebels, and greeted them with bows, arrows, sabers, and blood spattered.Guan Ning cavalry, when the rebel army was defeated like a mountain, Guan Ning cavalry joined the battlefield without losing the opportunity, and immediately intercepted the main force of the fleeing rebel army!The rebels, who had fallen into a desperate situation, were completely devastated and did not know how to resist.A little later, the sound of killing was earth-shattering, and more than 2 Sichuan and Shandong troops led by Deng Ke, Liu Zeqing and others also killed them, and happily joined the ranks of beating dogs in the water. This battle completely turned into a massacre ...

"We won?" Wu Sheng still couldn't believe that his side had defeated the rebels known for their fierceness so simply and neatly, and he waited for the sound of thunder and asked pantingly.

Lei Shisheng smiled calmly, wiped off the blood on his sword with a piece of white cloth, and casually pulled out a beautiful sword flower: "These rebels are so far behind Jiannu!"

Wu Sheng let out a long, sullen breath, stuck the long knife in his hand on the ground, sat down on his buttocks, and panted heavily.The strong smell of blood hit his nostrils, and his stomach wriggled, and he felt the urge to vomit... Although it was not his first time on the battlefield, let alone the first time he had killed someone, he had fought Japanese pirates before. After a battle, he could only kill dozens or hundreds of people at most, but now there are thousands of people lying on the battlefield. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as "a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood", which makes him a little breathless. .However, even though he felt nauseous, he was still full of pride... It feels so good to win the battle!
