Iron Dynasty

The melodious music lingers in front of the ancient city of Haicheng.

For Bei Shan, this is not a kind of enjoyment, but a kind of despair.

The four-day siege had damaged most of the army he brought this time, and the Goryeo army was directly overwhelmed. Now he was alone and could only face the army of the Great Yu Kingdom by himself.

Taiji, withdraw. Gu Duo glanced at the camp and kept coming towards the Great Yu army.

If it was before, they would definitely lead the cavalry to charge, but after tasting the hollow square formed by the army of the Great Yu Kingdom, they no longer have absolute confidence, not to mention that his current soldiers are very tired after four days of fierce fighting, and they are in He no longer has an advantage in numbers.

The sound of the marching music of the Great Yu Kingdom's army was getting closer and closer, and Bei Shan's brows were frowning deeper and deeper. He really couldn't understand why an army should beat gongs and drums when marching to fight.

But he understands that this is a red flag.

Looking at the 20,000 cavalry soldiers behind him, Bei Shan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said to Gu Duo: If I retreat, I will no longer be able to raise my head in front of Father Khan, and other Taiji will laugh at me. Only the head of the generals of the Great Yu Kingdom can wash away my shame.

After speaking, he shouted loudly; Kill these bastards of the Great Yu Kingdom!

Under his order, the horn sounded suddenly, and the barbarian cavalry frantically urged the troops of the Great Yu Kingdom in front of the ancient city of Hai.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyun looked solemn. He ordered the army to transform into a hollow phalanx.

Before, the army of the Great Yu Kingdom had never confronted the barbarian cavalry directly in the open field, and some only relied on the advantage of the chariot to offset the advantage of the cavalry.

This time, he boldly chose to rely on the hollow phalanx to fight against the barbarian cavalry. This was not Ye Qingyun's recklessness, but his trust in the current Dayu army.

Excellent training, perfect food, and the experience of hundreds of battles, all of which have gradually transformed the army of the Great Yu country from a weak and weak division into a strong force.

Under Ye Qingyun's order, the originally marching array suddenly changed rapidly, and the soldiers who were marching in a short period of time formed five hollow phalanxes.

In front of each hollow phalanx, there were twenty heavy muskets, and they aimed their guns at the cavalry that was rushing.

In the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the smoke and dust of the earth were rolled up, and the barbarian cavalry wearing silver armor raised the saber in their hands, and under the golden sunlight, there was a cold glow.

The soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom held their breath at this moment, and the soldiers in the front row tightly held the flintlock guns in their hands as if they were holding their own lives.

This was the first time they faced the barbarian cavalry head-on, and they felt a little more heroic in addition to their nervousness.

Boom boom boom...

Before the barbarian cavalry approached the hollow phalanx, the artillerymen on both sides of the hollow phalanx began to pour out artillery fire.

When the soldiers were going, the artillery also pushed the six-pounder field gun to follow the soldiers. This six-pounder field gun was light in weight, and three people pushed it forward.

When the field artillery bombarded the barbarian cavalry, the soldiers carrying the mortar also used lime bullets to bombard the barbarian cavalry.

Under the attack of artillery, the barbarian cavalry suffered casualties from 400 meters away.

This time, in order to attack the idle square formed by the Great Yu Kingdom, Bei Shan chose to charge intensively, because only in this way can he break through this array in one fell swoop.

And once the formation is broken, the following is their massacre of the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom.

However, the dense formation immediately became the target of artillery attack at this moment, and solid bullets took away the lives of more than a dozen barbarian cavalry like a string of gourds.

These cavalry fell to the ground and blocked the movement of the cavalry behind them. Some cavalrymen couldn't dodge and were tripped over by the fallen cavalry.

And those cavalry who avoided the past suddenly messed up their formations.

Lime shells, which are more terrifying than practice shells, have little lethality, but are enough to blind the cavalry.

The barbarian cavalry and horses, who lost their sight, scrambled like headless flies, and the formation organized by Bei Shan quickly became chaotic and completely disrupted.

Ye Qingyun watched this scene with satisfaction, the purpose of the artillery was to disrupt the enemy's formation.

Fighting the cavalry in such a clearing is terrifying, but the cavalry is easy to deal with if they cause confusion.

However, despite the chaos, the barbarian cavalry still charged towards the hollow phalanx. When the distance was 200 meters away, the heavy muskets in front of the hollow phalanx opened fire on the barbarian cavalry.

A group of steel balls rushed towards the barbarian cavalry along the muzzle of the gun, and suddenly another barbarian cavalry fell, and the formation was further disrupted.

The distance of 200 meters was only a short while for the cavalry, and the heavy musket had another chance to shoot.

Soldiers immediately reloaded for a second shot.

After finishing the shooting, the heavy musketeers retreated to the inside of the hollow phalanx.

While the heavy muskets are shooting, the riflemen are also designed at the same time. With the advantage of the range, they shoot at a distance of more than 200 meters.

After rounds of firing, the barbarian cavalry rushing to the hollow phalanx was already in chaos. When they entered a 100-meter range, the flintlock guns fired for the last time.

Immediately afterwards, the first row of soldiers in front of the hollow phalanx immediately crouched down and tilted their flintlock guns in the direction of the cavalry. The second row of soldiers continued to shoot, followed by the third row.

Under the fierce firepower, the barbarian cavalry threw a corpse on the ground, and the remaining sparse cavalry rushed towards the hollow square like moths to the flame.

The warhorse was penetrated by the bayonet, and the barbarian cavalry slammed into the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom. Under the huge impact, the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom suddenly fell back, and there was a little confusion in the place where they were hit.

But the soldiers behind immediately withstood the impact of the cavalry to avoid the cavalry breaking through the phalanx.

Under the constant blows of firearms, the barbarian cavalry rushing over was just a splash of water hitting the stone, and the space phalanx was still as stable as a rock.

The first wave of 5,000 people failed, Bei Shan's face was ashen, and the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom in front of them seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle.

He was surprised that the army of the Great Yu Kingdom had become so refined once upon a time.

Taiji withdraw, our clansmen are not afraid of death, but they can't give their lives in vain, it's not worth it for Koryo. Gu Duo said anxiously.

Bei Shan's eyes dimmed, and the army of the Great Yu Kingdom moved forward again. Every time they passed by a wounded cavalry soldier, the soldiers of the Great Yu Kingdom would use bayonets to end the lives of the soldiers of the Golden Horde.

This round of shock made Bei Shan understand that he couldn't break through the formation as easily as he had beaten the Great Yu Kingdom's army as before.

Turning the horse's head, Bei Shan walked towards Liujingcheng. At this moment, he suddenly understood that the Golden Horde needed time to train a firearms army, otherwise it would never be able to defeat the Great Yu Kingdom.

Maybe he should follow the Japanese advice and go meet the Englishman.
