Chapter 1304 Trapped Beast
The javelin is an ancient weapon.

This kind of weapon, which was also born out of hunting activities, rarely appears on the battlefield now, and it has no advantage over the bow and crossbow in terms of accuracy and range.

However, in the southwestern and central southern mountainous areas of Ming Dynasty, it is still kept in the homes of every Miao warrior with the advantages of great power, simple manufacture, and repeated use, and it can be used at any time to deal with those beasts that hurt people, eat animals and destroy seedlings.

Sometimes it’s not just beasts who do these things. In the 31st year of Jiajing’s Japanese invasion, more than ten thousand soldiers from Miao villages in Yongshun, Huguang, Baojing and other places were conscripted by the imperial court to fight in the southeast. The dead man went out of the mountain and brought back the corpse of the strong man who died in a foreign country, and this habit has continued since then.

Now Miao Bing has taught a group of apprentices in Muye, and they also use their methods to fight against the enemy.

This kind of projectile weapon is so old that Earl Charles didn't even realize that the spears lined up in the third battalion of Muye had throwing spears for projection, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.

The cavalry used all kinds of pistols to skim the outer edge of the front line. With the advantage of the height of their horses, they crossed the large shield of the Miao people and killed the Muye warriors behind them. They were immediately overturned by more flying spears. The speed at which the horse falls.

Some people can use shields to protect themselves, but one side of the shield hangs two spears, no matter how strong they are, they can’t lift them, and then they are hit by the third spear; His face seemed to be hit by a hammer, and the pained warhorse stood up, revealing his soft abdomen, and his stomach was immediately ripped open.

The Fran cannons in front of the camp were still bombarding the enemy infantry charging in the front line, and the merchant musketeers protecting the flanks also fired bursts at the cavalry preparing to charge from the flanks with three-eyed guns.

Their main defense direction is the front, so the supporting firepower is insufficient, but the distance is short and the rate of fire is fast. Ten people can shoot a volley of thirty muskets at a short distance.

Faced with unimaginable projectile weapons, the pistol cavalry was almost reimbursed by the spear-throwing. Many people were not killed. The reality forced them to change their tactics. They rushed into the enemy line with the knights and heavy cavalry. Charged towards the artillery position, was severely beaten by the three-eyed gun and retreated, continuing to attack the infantry without firearms.

The two sides fought each other with their lives.

Fighting at close quarters, the Makino Right Battalion lacking armor was trampled by heavy cavalry, and the formation inevitably dispersed. Throughout the ages, only a few infantry troops could charge with heavy cavalry and bury their heads and cut horses' legs. Those who are all rushed and scattered, this is normal.

However, the Baojia soldiers of the Muye Right Battalion did not disperse backwards. Most of them ran towards the artillery position in front, or they were running towards the Muye Middle Battalion. During the process of being dispersed, some people were knocked down and swung their knives around. Cut off the horse's legs.

Their protective armor is poor, but their weapons are particularly sharp. The Miao people still use the ancient forging method to forge iron, which is extremely time-consuming and laborious, but the forged knives are all good. In the past, due to the lack of iron in the tribe, the elders gave a piece of iron when a child was born. , These irons are put together and forged once a year, and the blade is forged when they are 16 years old.

There are not many knives out of the tribe throughout the year, so the success of a knife is only the day when a child becomes an adult. Congratulations, beheading a cow with a new knife, trying its sharpness and the strength of the new warriors of the tribe.

This habit was changed in Muye, and suddenly there was no shortage of iron mines. Yang Zhaolong’s Miao knifesmiths were so busy that they could not make so many knives. In the end, they had to recruit many apprentices to make knives together, and new knives were produced every day. They didn't have so many cows to test it out, and they didn't have so many children to pass the coming-of-age ceremony, so they didn't even have congratulations.

The productivity explosion has rendered old customs meaningless.

The commander of the right battalion regrouped the defeated troops in front of the artillery position. The Ma Ailan cavalry and the merchant musketeers formed two lines. Facing the threat of being trampled by the cavalry, half of the right battalion's artillery failed to fire, but even if there were only six Franc cannons left Still bombarding, still beating the enemy infantry in front of them to death, unable to open their bows.

The enemy facing them has charged into the most lethal range of Fran's machine guns, and each charge can only leave a field of mourning wounded in the open space fifty steps away. The Baojia soldiers have even charged towards the enemy under the leadership of General Ba.

There was no cavalry threat, and the Zuo Battalion, supported by artillery, even stepped on the corpses first, smashed several enemy troops, and chased after the besieged camp.

The commander in the center is not always so brave. He scares the enemy away. This sluggish guy learned a lot of English dialect in Alan. He always pays attention to the situation of the right battalion cavalry on the battlefield. After the shooting, the battle was a stalemate in the cavalry battle, and he led the troops to speak out in the bloody battle with the enemy at the forefront of the front line.

"The Count is dead! The Count is dead!"

The knights on the opposite side who were fighting with Alan's dismounted cavalry were all stunned. It was difficult for everyone to fight on the front line. When their own knights met with the knights, they might have to raise their swords and do it twice. Only then did they separate to find other enemies.

Sometimes you will encounter enemy knights wearing their own heraldic burqas, and they can still answer a few sentences when they come up. As soon as they turn around, they will hit the back of the head with an axe, and then turn their heads and continue to fight.

Especially seeing two plate-armored monsters colliding with each other and fighting, I don't know which one to help with the weapon.

There was a language barrier between the two sides, and some of the enemy soldiers were wearing their own armor. Suddenly, someone shouted such a sentence in their own language in front of the formation. After the incident, a knight in plate armor picked up his battle ax and ran towards his camp. He said that the count was dead, the baron was dead, and the nobleman was dead.

Anyway, they don't know the name of the enemy commander. In the understanding of these people, this is the same as shouting that the general is dead on the battlefield.

If there is a radio here, the Earl will be able to yell on the radio in a second: put your mother's fart.

But no, the entire Muye Middle Battalion was chasing down the enemy troops, and the lightly armed Muye soldiers showed their greatest fighting ability at this moment.

They have sharp ring knives and long-range projection capabilities such as dart guns, big crossbowmen and crossbows. They are extremely efficient in chasing and killing the enemy. They often run past them and turn their heads: Oh, there is another one.

He raised his hand and shot a crossbow arrow, and continued to chase with a knife.

Ying Ming, who was in the middle army, was also very excited when he saw the battle situation. He sent out all fifty cavalrymen under his command, not to let them participate in the pursuit, but to let them gather various troops near the enemy's camp. Victory in this battle can solve his problems. The most important question on my mind.

Question about armor.

The great victories of the two battalions on the left and middle affected the enemy on the right. They encountered more and more resistance in the desperate fight. The Muye Right Battalion killed most of their horses at the cost of their lives and turned them all into dismounted heavy infantry. , after more than 30 Alan infantry in plate armor joined the battle, they no longer had such a big advantage.

At this juncture, the Beiyang cavalry cavalry team sent by Ying Ming earlier also attacked the flanks, and the friendly forces were defeated across the board, making them a desperate battle, and the only thing they could do in the end was surrender.

　good evening!
