Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 976 Who Is The Praying Mantis And Who Is The Oriole?

Nishapur is one of the most important cities in the Khorasan region. It is located in the Kashav Valley, between the Binarud Mountains and the Hezar-Mashed Mountains. It is also one of the holy cities of the second sect of Tianfang Sect. .Therefore, the Seljuks must fight a battle here.And it is none other than Gelshap who commands the Seljuk army to fight here.

Gelshap, who had suffered a lot in the port of Humos, understood the power of Chinese artillery, so he divided his army into two parts, one part defended the city of Nishapur with local fanatics, and the other part used cavalry Mainly, he was placed outside the city to harass and assault Lu Qi's army, with the intention of restraining the energy of Lu Qi's army.

In the entire Seljuk Empire, no one expected Gelshap to withstand the attack of the Lu Qi army in Nishapur. His only task was to express Seljuk's determination and fighting spirit to persist in the war of resistance.

……

"Order all capitals and teams to prepare for battle!"

"Our army is mighty—"

"I am invincible!"

A high-pitched roar came from afar.

This is a plain field dozens of miles away from Nishapur, which is outside the security circle of the Lu Qi Army. The people who appear here on weekdays are at most sporadic scouts.

But the reason why a group of musketeers of hundreds of people appeared here today, what else can they do, 'it's tricked'.

In front of the Musketeers was a large number of Seljuk cavalry. The Gulam cavalry in battle armor led the tribal cavalry in simple cloth robes, scattered in formation, shouting with high fighting spirit. In their eyes, this is also a "Chinese In the meter'.As designers, their morale is high, and more people fight less people, and cavalry fights infantry, which makes them full of confidence, urging the horses to slowly land on the bayonet jungle-like phalanx formed by Qi army soldiers. rush away.

Lu Qi's army was awe-inspiring, and officers and soldiers with a little bit of experience could tell that the Seljuk cavalry in front of them was a formidable enemy.Their number is estimated to be upwards of 3000.

It is in the shape of a bow and wraps around the hollow phalanx of Lu Qi's army.

How could Lu Qian not know about the hollow formation?That is the musketeer artifact that many keyboard warriors regard as the outline.

Lu Qian couldn't agree with the attitude of those keyboard warriors on the Internet, but he also admitted that the hollow formation does have its own advantages when musketeers deal with cavalry.

Seeing the approaching Seljuk cavalry, Lu Shiqiang drew out his saber and raised it high, gritted his teeth: "There are all of them... Take aim!"

All muskets were bayoneted and pointed forward. As musketeers, they had experienced the baptism of horse charging in the new barracks. The cavalrymen peed their pants in fright.

Not to mention their identities!

Although they are not from Yuqiansi, they are the authentic Heluo children of the Central Plains. They are the soldiers of the Lu family, and they are one of the most loyal troops in the world!

Right now in this Musketeer Battalion, from the chief and deputy battalion officers to the teaching and staff officers, and then down to the officers of the capital, Yishui'er's children with three surnames—the Lu family, the Lin family, and the Zhai family in the Heluo area are the three most beautiful. surname and family.

Emperor Lu's relatives died early, and even the insignificant Lu clan could not see a living person.In this way, the entire family surnamed Lu in the Heluo area will be benefited.

"150 steps!" The frontline officer shouted loudly.

"100 steps!"

"Fire!"

Crackling gunshots sounded immediately in front of the battle.

A neat row of white smoke rose from the front line of the Lu Qi Army's front line, and dozens of oval-shaped lead bullets quickly crossed a distance of a hundred steps and shot into the charging Seljuk cavalry.The Seljuk cavalry that was charging towards the formation immediately splashed lines of blood. Although they were in a loose formation-traditional nomadic cavalry could not form a compact charge formation, but the crowds gathered among each other Still too tight.The bullets cannot hit the cavalry in the first, second, and third ranks, but they can also hit the cavalry in the fourth and fifth ranks.

There were screams and blood spilled on the field.But the Seljuk cavalry is still charging!This loss is not seen by them at all.

Lu Qijun's hollow formation has made them unable to bear it anymore.They have no knowledge of real power, and they don't understand the power of the hollow formation in front of them at all. They only see that it is vulnerable.

Whether it is the East or the West, the only way for infantry to deal with cavalry is to form a dense array.From their point of view, strange things like the Hollow Formation are here to give them points.Throwing a stone at an egg, do you still need to worry about the bird?

Whether a lead bullet hits a horse or a man, it is a fatal wound.

The formation of Lu Qi's army is very narrow, with only 40 people in the horizontal direction.That's a lot.

There are only 160 people in the outer circle, and at least 50 people in the inner circle, right?In the formation of the hollow formation, the soldiers are all closely attached to each other, not as loose as the line of soldiers.Including the third lap, the total number of 450 people is also indispensable.And the soldiers inside the box put out a small 'pin' font.

Not one battalion of musketeers would be redundant.

After the guns are fired, the guns are still fired, and the time to drop the bombs has not yet come.

Seize the time to reload the second time is the first.

Soldiers in the formation will also shoot between the heads of the soldiers in front, anyway, to kill the enemy as much as possible.

There are also soldiers on the two wings, but they can also pull the trigger on the original Seljuk cavalry just by opening a slight angle.The killing of thousands of bullets, the protruding part of the Seljuk cavalry was almost wiped out.

Empty war horses or wounded war horses on their backs went mad and rushed obliquely into the Seljuk cavalry team.The momentum of the whole team has been greatly reduced, but the leading officer, Musaili Maiyi, kept yelling: Charge, charge!

He didn't want to be insulted after being defeated back to the rear, or even be beheaded by Mansur, and die with an infamous identity.Even though he is also a prominent person, he is the heir of a big clan.

At this moment in time, these are of no use at all.Winning a victory worth promoting early is the first.

To wipe out a battalion of the enemy army, let alone a musket battalion, no matter how much sacrifice is made, it is worthwhile.Besides, this is a charge into the formation, an assault on the infantry phalanx that has been arrayed, and that in itself requires a huge sacrifice.

Stimulated by the musket volley, the cavalry on the left and right sides of the charge of the Seljuk army, which suffered the least damage, became the team that penetrated the deepest—has the central part been defeated?

These people all beat their horses like crazy, each of them raised their swords, bows and spears, and then outflanked the two wings of the Qi army.

Lu Qi's army immediately resumed its formation, and the two-wing musketeers who opened an angle quickly returned to their original positions.A thick, large square appeared in the eyes of the Seljuk cavalry.

It used to be a shock array with a protruding center, but now it has a pincer shape with a small depression in the middle and protruding sides!
And farther away, there was a Seljuk cavalry outflanking the back of the Lu Qi army array from the rear.

"Damn Shirk, the firepower of these musketeers is too strong..." Rahman was beside his brother Musai Limai, looking at the team that suffered heavy losses.

There were only a few Gulam guards in this team, and most of them were fighters from their tribe. The large number of casualties made him very sad.

The impact of the Seljuk cavalry suddenly stagnated.

Two or three hundred riders were beaten to pieces.How can the remaining Seljuk horsemen not be frightened?

In addition, the way they charged was blocked by the corpses of the fallen men and horses, or the horses who lost their masters, or the cavalry who lost their horses, so their speed of charging would undoubtedly slow down a bit.

However, the Seljuk cavalry was still charging, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed, and then the grenades rang out.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of grenade explosions sounded.

"Papa..." followed by the final gunshot.There is no longer talk about salvo or not salvo, or whether to volley or not to volley, and one shot is one shot.

"Raise the bayonet and hold it!"

"I am invincible!" There was such a shout in the array.

They know very well that they are a bait.Now that the enemy has taken the bait, it is not their business how to completely eat up the Seljuk cavalry in front of them.The most important thing for them now is to protect themselves.

And being forced to the front by a large group of cavalry, this is also the most severe test they will face!
