I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 163 A Small Victory

Fast, really fast.

Just now, the dust was flying from a distance, but in the blink of an eye, it was already a cloud covering the sky and the sun, and as it approached quickly, there was a deafening rumbling sound in the ears.

This is true.

Zhao Xi went to see this team of cavalry again... Except for the leading few rows, they were considered tall horses, and the rest rode like donkeys... This is a short-footed horse, and there are many such horses in Guangnan.

Just the first few rows...

"The front row is a foreign horse, which should be transported by a sea ship. The Daxia cavalry also has this foreign horse..."

Di Qing likes horses, and there is no one in the Western Army who doesn't like horses.But His Royal Highness seems to pay more attention to human footsteps than to cavalry.

It's not that Zhao Xi doesn't value it, but he adapts to local conditions. In the current state of the country, if he wants to train cavalry that can rule the world... not to mention the princes, even his father will sternly refuse.

No choice but to choose footwork.No one knows that a man is no better than a horse, but there is no other way.

Cavalry versus infantry, in terms of maneuverability, infantry is inherently flawed, even pony cavalry is not something infantry can contend with.

The guard battalion will not work, even if you use a gun barrel with a bayonet to form a horse-repelling formation.

Zhao Xi never thought of confronting the cavalry at all.His philosophy has always been to effectively attack the enemy while ensuring safety, and it is best to destroy the enemy on the way of attack.

For example, now, there are more than 1 soldiers, except for the few innate supernatural powers in the guard battalion, who have been taking turns squatting with cannons on their backs, and the entire team has no large-scale attack equipment.

That is, each person carries a different number of bamboo gunpowder shells.

Manganese steel muskets have an effective range of only 30 meters, which is the distance of a cavalry charge. Even if it is fired in bursts, it may be damaged.

Zhao Xi couldn't bear it, the guard battalion was not only a treasure to him, but also to Guochao.

Therefore, when Zhao Xi arrived at the ambush site, he summoned the soldiers, found a tree trunk as thick as an arm, and connected the two trees with rattan to make a simple launcher.

The trigger time of the gunpowder bomb has been determined, and it only needs to test a few times to basically grasp the timing of the launch.

The ambush prepared by Zhao Xi was still the trick of playing by surprise.

"Cut in the middle, focus on taking care of the rear team, and take damage to its combat power as the top priority!"

The ambushes here gave the reinforcements the impression that... Longson had fallen.Therefore, even if the front team let it go, once the battle started, the front team would not consider supporting Lang Song, but would retreat towards Guangyuan.

When the first gunpowder bomb flew down from the mountainside, followed by a sound, and then a sound of gunpowder bomb explosion, then what is the front team and the back team?The whole cavalry team was in disarray.

It wasn't the cavalry that wanted to mess up, it was the horse, and the pony had never heard the sound of gunpowder.

This is not the musket fire in Guirenpu. Even in panic, people can still find danger and avoid it.This is a horse, the horse is frightened, it doesn't have the ability to judge, it can only run around...

The entire cavalry team was in a mess, and the horses were not controlled by the knights at all, they just galloped on a rampage.

Alas, it is not the ambushes that are the real surprise, but the effect of the powder charge on the horses .

Zhao Xi was a little bit regretful that he had used this stick of gunpowder in the battle against Annan.If it is against Daxia and Daliao...

"Di Shuai, how is Annan's relationship with Daxia and Daliao?"

"Your Highness is worried that the gunpowder bomb will be known to him?"

"Di Shuai, to be honest, Annan is not worried about the scabies disease of Guochao. The great enemies of Guochao are still Liao and Xia."

"If the gunpowder is known to him, it will definitely reduce the effect in use, especially the effect on the cavalry. If so, this time, Xi and Zirong will make a mistake if they do it just before the battle."

"Your Highness is worrying too much. Even if Liao Xia knows, there is no formula for making gunpowder, and it is impossible to conduct targeted training for cavalry and horses."

I hope it's true what Di Qing said!Zhao Xi didn't hold out hope.

In terms of the purification process, there should be no one better than yourself.If it's pure gunpowder... Not to mention that Zeng Gongliang's "Wu Jing Zong Yao" is all over the street, but it's not just that Tianlei appeared.

To achieve the effect of gunpowder ammunition, it is estimated that almost, if it is targeted training...

Forget it, don't think about it, let's go and see.Let's think about how to fight this battle first.

How else can I fight?The opponent has messed up himself.The [-] horses were all startled, and then ran around without direction, kicking and jumping from time to time... Anyway, it was a chaos.

In fact, unless the gunpowder bullet hits a person or a horse, it is not hit, and there is only a little shock wave, so the real damage is not great.

Especially in this situation, compared to the damage caused by five thousand startled horses, gunpowder bullets are really negligible.

The knight insisted on controlling the horse, but the horse wanted to run freely, so at this moment, the knight and the horse had no cooperation... more and more chaos.

Seeing the constant cavaliers being jolted off their backs by the horses, the soldiers were a little reluctant to fire any more gunpowder.

At this time, we can see the difference between the guard battalion and the Western Army.

The guard battalion could only obey. As long as Zhao Xi didn't give an order to stop, the attack should continue.As for the horses, that's not their concern.

"Vice General Yang, why did you stop attacking?"

"Your Highness, that is a war horse..."

"Since you know it's a war horse, how can you not understand the cavalry's ability to control the war horse? Once the gunpowder bullets are reduced, can you be sure that the cavalry can't control the war horse and escape?"

If the cavalry fled because the soldiers couldn't take care of them because of the horses running around, there was no way.If Annan's cavalry can recover and organize their teams to break through because of their own side's reduced attack strength, then it is unreasonable!

Yang Wenguang glanced regretfully, and then looked at Di Qing as well...he went to supervise the battle again.

The purpose of his running here was to let His Royal Highness order to stop the attack and let the soldiers charge, it is best to gather some horses.

Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was reprimanded by His Highness, and had to urge the soldiers to continue firing gunpowder bombs.

"Order each to dispatch soldiers and gather scattered horses..."

The battle was settled, and even though Zhao Xi had asked to focus on the rear, it was still impossible to keep all [-] cavalry here.

The so-called casualties, those who were actually killed by gunpowder bullets, were not half trampled by war horses.

In fact, the gunpowder bullets hadn't been fired for a few rounds at all. Zhao Ximo counted, and with the combination of fast hands, at most two or three gunpowder bullets could be fired.

This is because the gunpowder bullets have been tied to the wooden sticks that make the arrow shafts earlier. That's it. It takes time to bend the trunk, adjust the direction, and calculate the lead time to launch.

Even at this speed, it is almost enough for two cavalrymen in this team.

If this is a later generation, the grenade is operated like this, it is already considered indiscriminate, full-coverage bombing, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

But now, it was just a small victory.
