Chapter 75: Barbary IV: The Treasures of Algiers 9

To this day, in addition to the slightly lighter weight of the tiger spear, the flying dragon cavalry in the Great Xia Kingdom has changed.

It's a horse.

Especially the war horses that came to North Africa were all hybrid descendants of the yellow horses from Uzhumuqin from the Daxia Kingdom and the Polish war horses. The "Polish" war horses here are just a general term. The war horses in Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine are almost the same breed, and they can be traced back to the bloodline of Arab horses.

The Huang Piao horse of Wuzhumuqin is the highest lord among Mongolian horses, but it perfectly inherits the characteristics of Mongolian horses that are durable and drought-resistant.

The terrain of Wuzhumuqin is somewhat similar to that of North Africa, and is both dry and rainy areas. Therefore, when war horses come to Europe after a long journey, they will be almost ready to adapt.

The war horses in Tunisia and Tripoli are naturally pure Arab horses. The two are at least almost in size. However, the Hanhai Army regards war horses as an indispensable means of production. After years of exploration and cultivation, it has reached a balance between the nutrition and basic survival of war horses. With targeted training, this is not comparable to Arab horses that are fed with alpha grass alone.

In other words, although the appearance of both sides looks similar at first glance, the Polish war horses and yellow horses were cultivated from their respective horse systems, and the Neilhan Hai army's war horses are still stronger than the Arabian horses!

"flutter!!!"

They are all cavalry with a long history and know how to fight. Both sides are evacuated formations, and the horses will automatically penetrate into the gaps of the opponent's brigade instead of hitting the opponent's horse head-on.

Although they are all experienced cavalry, the Hanhai Army has developed to a new stage due to its industry. By this time, the war horses of the Flying Dragon Cavalry have been completely equipped with masks. Like the cavalry, when the mask is pulled down, only two eyes are exposed. Compared with the Sipashi Cavalry opposite, there is a cone-shaped shape in the middle and upper part of the mask, which is grinding with crystal clear and transparent spikes!

It was this spike that gave Hanhai Army a superiority. At the moment when the cavalry of both sides fought, the Sipashi Cavalry's horse instinctively avoided the terrifying spike, which would naturally have an impact on the formation. Moreover, the flying dragon cavalry on the opposite side had three short guns in one hand and one foot long with a tiger gun with a barb!

Nikan was also a cavalry in later generations and also patrolled China and Russia's borders. At that time, there was only the practice of riding a knife, but how to practice waist, abdomen, arm strength, and how to combine these two was similar to ancient times. In ancient times, cavalry practiced subconsciously, which was not necessarily scientific. They were not necessarily scientific. They practiced constantly, but naturally incorporated some scientific methods in later generations.

Sun Xiulan pulled his right arm back, then gently lifted his body away from the saddle, and leaned slightly forward. In this case, the arm strength can be perfectly leveraged to the waist and abdomen and maximized, because the war horses have strong potential energy when they are galloping at high speed. If you can still be in a normal position, when the tiger spear stabs the enemy, the powerful reaction force is completely possible to push you onto the horse's buttocks.

"Click!"

One inch long and one inch stronger!

Sun Xiulan's tiger spear flew away the same heavy scimitar in the hands of the opponent's cavalry, and then continued to stab him in the chest!

The sharp gun blade cut off the ropes used by the Sipahi cavalry to connect the plate chain armor with tough alpha grass mixed leather, and then thrust into their off-white robes!

At this time, if you have a lot of strength and the potential energy brought by the war horse, the opponent will usually be hit and fall backwards. However, if you hit the armor, it is another matter. In any case, the enemy's moment of this is serious, which is also the most test of the flying dragon riding.

"puff!"

The cavalry on the opposite side fell down on his back, and a tent of blood spurted out from his chest. At this time, Sun Xiulan's tiger spear had already been pulled out and faced with the second enemy!

The second enemy seemed to be just a cavalry from a nomadic tribe, with only leather armor on her body. Naturally, Sun Xiulan would not be polite and gave it to him with a short gun in his left hand.

In this way, he walked all the way, assassinated all the way. When he arrived, his whole body was hot and his arms were tightened, the front had turned into a large white area!

It turned out that there were tribal cavalry in front of them, and they didn’t even have leather armor, and they were all wearing one-piece white robes!

Sun Xiulan took a deep breath and raised the tiger spear.

...

During the cavalry battle between the two sides, the Bodun infantry, which was about two miles away from the cavalry, quickly arranged the formation - no one, because they were afraid that the enemy's cavalry would come up to charge, and the second, the enemy's large squadrons would also come up!

The enemy's infantry came from another direction. They originally had 8,000 people, but they lost hundreds of people in the war to attack the port in the past few days, but there were more than 7,000 people. Now, except for more than 1,000 people, they continued to stare at the port, all the remaining 6,000 people have come up.

Since the Hanhai Army also had cavalry in this regard, they sent a conventional maneuver to defend against the two-way formation - black slave spearmen outside and Jenicheri musketeers, they naturally would not cause trouble for the Hanhai Army cavalry, but directly faced Bodun's infantry!

Two to one!

The distance between Bodun's infantry and his cavalry was two miles away, and the distance between the port was three miles away. When the Barbary infantry was ready to line up and rushed over, Bodun was also ready.

At first glance, his more than 3,000 infantrymen were all musketeers. The musketeers in the first row were all facing outside with muskets, which were obviously loaded.

The Barbary infantry opposite was very excited.

"Pure musket shot?"

The commander thought, "Our Lumi gun has a larger range than the Europeans' melee guns. Are you attacking others with your own shortcomings?"

"Photography, when the enemy is in chaos, the black spearmen rushed forward and launched a unilateral massacre of the musketeers!"

Two hundred meters!

The Hanhai Army's formation remained motionless.

One hundred and fifty meters!

At this time, the strong wind that Nikan had imagined seemed to have finally come. The strong wind should have blown from the north sea, hanging whirring, and the waves on the sea were also surging. The commander of the Barbary Infantry Frown, "The strong wind will be together, and it will be troublesome when the loading is later."

At this time, the effective range of the European Match Rope was about 60 meters. He expected the enemy to be lenient. Seeing that the Han Hai army on the opposite side still had not moved, he prepared to shoot again at 100 meters.

One hundred and twenty meters!

It was completely different from what he expected. When they pressed the Hanhai Army infantry formation from three directions with two thousand people as a large team, the musketeers in the first row of the Hanhai Army actually started shooting at a distance of 120 meters!

As time goes by, the muskets of the Hanhai Army's infantry have also been improved.

The length of the gun is still 1.4 meters, and with a bayonet, it is nearly 1.7 meters. The Hanhai Army flintlock musket has evolved to a rear-mounted style. There was no need to consider the loading issue, but considering the impact of weight and length on assassination, it finally chose a length similar to that of the famous Japanese rifle in later generations.

In addition to the current gap in steel, its weight has reached eight kilograms, which is slightly heavier than the 38-large cover.

In addition to the firing method of such muskets, the old-fashioned flintlock style, the rest are almost the same as later rifles. Of course, he still has a single shot, but has evolved into the rifling era.

Such a musket has already reached 150 meters of effective range, but Bodun still holds it to 120 meters!

"flutter……"

The black spearmen from the first row of the enemy infantry brigade who came from three directions immediately rushed into a group!

After the first row of Hanhai Army's muskets were shot, they immediately squatted down and filled them. Since there was no need to load them from the muzzle, the paper shell bullets in the set were directly stuffed into the gun chamber from the end. After pulling down the safety device, they could aim and shoot, so the speed was very fast.

At this time, the musketeers in the second row also began to shoot.

Then there is the third row...

The musketeers from the fourth row still did not move, because the musketeers in the first row had already been loaded. At this time, under the attack of three-wheeled lead bullets, the black spearmen in front of the enemy were only a thin layer. In this case, the enemy's commander had two choices.

First, continue to move forward and start shooting at one hundred meters, because one hundred meters is the best range of Lumi gun, and the other is to stop immediately and shoot at the enemy. At a distance of 120 meters, Lumi gun can also reach the enemy, but if you want to hit it accurately, you have to rely on the heavens to collect it.

But he had no choice because the black slave spearmen began to refuse to move forward at this time.

The commander chose to stop immediately and shoot against the enemy. At this distance, the Lumi gun could still cause damage to the Hanhai Army infantry.

But the Hanhai Army will not give them this opportunity.

Just as the Barbary infantry, who had surrounded him from three directions, began to stop, the musketeers in the front three rows of the Hanhai infantry suddenly retreated.

The gunner of the fourth platoon was revealed at this time!

It turned out that they hid the gunners in the fourth row. If this were not the case, they could lie down in one row, squat in one row, and stand in one row to shoot the enemy in all directions. They didn't do this, just to cover the gunners in the fourth row!

Of course, the gunner who can walk here with the brigade must be able to carry a small cannon, or a small cannon of 200 kilograms. It is carried by four people with a simple tool and can move quickly.

There are 500 gunners in an infantry army in the Hanhai Army. For example, in this way, carrying small cannons, there are about 200 people responsible for carrying cannons and 300 people responsible for carrying ammunition. In this case, there are 50 small cannons, with twelve cannons on each side.

At present, even in Europe, it is not common to use horses to pull large cannons around. In most cases, infantry fired at the same time, especially the Ottomans. If they want to enter the era of infantry and artillery coordination on a large scale, they have to wait for a while. Therefore, the Hanhai Army made such arrangements after it came out.

But that's enough.

When the cannon began to bombard the three-pound lead bullet, it actually caused limited damage after it penetrated into the enemy's formation, but the psychological impact on the opponent was huge.

The Babary infantry is in chaos!

When the Hanhai Army's small cannon was bombarding, the musketeers behind were not idle, and the shooting continued.

Under such circumstances, in this world, no infantry can carry such firepower and continue to move forward!

The Barbary infantry retreated!

As soon as they retreated, the Hanhai Army's small cannons began to reload leisurely until they began to flee, but the Hanhai Army's cavalry, who had defeated the Barbary cavalry, came over!

The battle between cavalry is more tense and laborious than that of infantry. After all, you need to fight one-on-one.

However, since the equipment of the Hanhai Army's cavalry is far stronger than that of the Barbary cavalry, the Flying Dragon Cavalry actually broke through their formation after the attack was in one breath. Next, when the tiger cavalry with both hands came up again, the Flying Dragon Cavalry could already rest on the side.
