From Soldier To Emperor
Chapter 403: The same choice (I wish you all a happy National Day)
With both legs proficiently controlling the horse forward, he followed closely behind the same robe in front of him, and his hands were bent with a bow and arrows to shoot sideways towards the cuirassier who was more than ten meters away!
Beiwei Jun Jingqi uses armor-piercing heavy arrows, so it needs to be close to a distance of more than ten meters to exert effective lethality.
After all, the pulling force of riding a bow is not as good as a step bow.
However, when the Backwei Army Jingqi forward split into two torrents and ran from both sides of the Cuirassiers to shoot arrows, the Cuirassiers aimed their prepared flintlock blunderbuss at the side of the Backwei Jingqi Cavalry. Pull the trigger!
All of a sudden, arrows and lead bullets crossed each other and shot into different teams!
Cuirassiers are naturally inaccurate when firing on high-speed war horses, but the distance between the two sides is too close, and they are in dense queues!
Of course, the Back Wei Jun Jingqi who was swept by the lead bullets kept falling off their horses, and the Cuirassier who had shot a shot pulled out a second flintlock blunderbuss and pulled the trigger!
When both flintlock shots were finished, the two cavalry teams facing each other were almost separated.
However, the lead bullets ejected by the flintlock blunders are deadly weapons against the elite horsemen of the back Wei army, but those armor-piercing heavy arrows that are very useful in the cold weapon era have not exerted their due lethality!
All armor-piercing heavy arrows shot on the broad upper torso of the cuirassiers are all swept away by the heavy breastplates. Only the heavy arrows that hit the bare parts of the head and legs of the cuirassiers and horses can play a role!
Cuirassiers can even stop flintlock bullets at medium and long distances, not to mention the armor-piercing heavy arrows of the cold weapon era?
After seeing this scene, Fu Xuan couldn't believe his eyes, the other party's breastplate could completely ignore his own piercing arrow!
There are only two reasons for this to happen.
First, the cuirassiers on the opposite side are all powerful warriors who have broken through the bones and bones realm or even the acquired realm, so they can wear a special thickened version of heavy armor that weighs over a hundred catties.
However, the appearance of that kind of armor looks very bloated, and it can be recognized at a glance. Naturally, it is impossible for Fu Xuan to admit it wrong!
The opponent's breastplate looks thick, but the level of heavy armor worn by ordinary people is far inferior to the special heavy armor of those master warriors.
What's more, Fu Xuan would not regard these thousands of cavalry as warriors of the lowest bones and muscles in any way!
The second reason is very close to reality.
The Ming Army has developed a breastplate that is both light and extremely defensive!
Even stronger ordinary soldiers can wear it!
Although the second reason is more logical, Fu Xuan is unwilling to believe that the Ming army's armor technology has already pushed Song Guo so far away!
This kind of light and defensive armor, not to mention that Song Guo has built it, can't even think about it!
Naturally, Fu Xuan would not know that the cuirassiers in the Napoleonic era were all ‘high-tech armor’ produced by mature hydraulic forging machines after the appearance of the steam engine. Naturally, they were not comparable to the armor of the cold weapon era, which was still in the manual stage.
No matter how strong manpower is, it cannot be compared to mechanical power...
Even if all the fine horsemen are good at riding and shooting, they can't hit the head and lower body 100%, not to mention shooting the horse may not kill the cuirassier!
As a result, after the two sides staggered, the casualties of the forwards carrying the Wei Jun Jingqi far exceeded the Cuirassiers!
Seeing this scene, Fu Xuan knew that the Cavalry and Shooting of the Back Wei Army's Jingqi could hardly cause damage to the Ming Army's cavalry. More sadly, this shows that the era of the Cavalry and Shooting Domination on the battlefield is gone forever...
But the most important thing now is to annihilate or severely damage the main cavalry of the Ming army in front of you. Regardless of whether the cavalry will be eliminated or not, this battle related to Song Guoyun must be won!
At least a tie...
Otherwise, the great situation that Song Taizu finally created may collapse, and Song State will also face the danger of destroying the country!
Now there are only two powers left in East Asia, the Ming and Song Dynasties, and even if they want to cross and close together, they can’t find anyone!
As a result, the two cavalry units quickly regrouped after the hedge, and Fu Xuan merged the previous forwards into his main force. This time Fu Xuan planned to charge the entire army and completely defeat the cuirassiers on the opposite side!
In the cavalry duel, cavalry and shooting are only a means to weaken the opponent and their strength. The real victory is to distinguish the victory or defeat in the collision and slashing.
Even the Mongolian cavalry in the history of the Earth in Richard's previous life, after riding and shooting to weaken the enemy's strength and blow morale, use the elite heavy-armored cavalry in the final battle to determine the victory.
Now the horse shooting is not worth the loss for the elite cavalry of the Beiwei army. There are more people dead than the enemy. Naturally, only the steps of cavalry and shooting consume the enemy’s morale and strength, and directly use more cavalry and the advantage of the gun to charge. Destroy the Ming cavalry.
Fu Xuan's choice of cavalry hedging was also confident of victory. Although the Ming cavalry on the opposite side wore heavy armor, they used all sabers.
Everyone knows that when the cavalry charges, the power of the lance is far greater than that of the saber. The distance between the two weapons is very different!
Obviously ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ weapons that can hit the enemy first are more advantageous.
Of course, there is a huge gap between the difficulty of using a lance and using a saber.
Cavalry training with a spear and rushing into battle often requires more time, energy, and even money!
Therefore, the Lancers of each country belong to the elite minority, and most ordinary cavalry still like to use sabers to fight.
After all, if you don’t know how to use a lance, it’s easy to die with the enemy in the charge...
More troops and the advantage of the cavalry is Fu Xuan's confidence to attack the cuirassiers with the cavalry melee!
No matter how thick the breastplate is, it can't withstand a lance stab with charging potential!
On the other hand, the Cuirassiers, although they have the advantage in the shooting, the premise is that the elite cavalry from the opposite side take the initiative to charge up and shoot.
Regardless of the huge advantages of the cuirassiers in armor, the cuirassiers are not the specialty of the cuirassiers, so the cuirassiers cannot use the cuirassiers to consume the enemy's strength.
Charge melee is what the Cuirassiers should do!
The exchange ratio between the cavalry and shooting of the Beiwei army was too low, and the cuirassiers would not be able to ride and shoot, so the two sides unanimously chose the barbaric cavalry to hedge to decide the outcome.
Like Fu Xuan's goal, the purpose of the Cuirassiers acting as a decoy this time is to destroy or severely inflict damage to the elite cavalry of the Beiwei Army.
As long as the Beiwei Army does not have this fine cavalry, the entire battlefield will be completely controlled by Richard. Then Richard will fight wherever he refers, and make the Yuejia Army who is in defense and has no cavalry exhausted!
At the same time, it will also close the door of the Yuejia Army's attack on the logistics road of the Ming Army!
If there is a 50% chance of a tie for the Yue Jiajun who has the Jingqi of the Beiwei Army, then the Yuejiajun who has lost the Jingqi of the Beiwei Army will have less than 10% of the winning rate in this battle!
