Chapter 323 Musket and Charge (page 12)
"Flying in the sky?"
La Bill stood under the protection of soldiers, looking up at the figure riding the eagle-headed Pegasus in the sky.
His face suddenly turned ugly.
He still remembered that when he met Li Qi Clarence the year before last, he would be ecstatic because of a few golden suns.
He is just a country baron who is completely ignored by him.
In less than two years, the other party not only became the lord of Iron Valley, but also made his illegitimate brother die-hard and secretly take full control of Longship Castle.
At this time, the other party suddenly appeared, allowing La Bill to clarify all the previously confusing parts.
Those unclear parts did not prevent La from pressing it on Li Qi's head.
In short, he wants Li Qi to die!
"Crossbowman, shoot him down!"
A group of crossbowmen raised their heads and aimed at Li Qi.
Whoosh whoosh!
A hail of random arrows came.
More than a dozen arrows almost hit the rocket, which hurriedly dodged in the air.
"Wow—!"
Rocket was angry and wanted to pounce down.
"Fly up!" Li Qi patted Rocket on the head: "If we rush down alone now, we are throwing ourselves into a trap!"
"Cuckoo!" Rocket reluctantly raised the altitude.
It is used to playing pranks and loves to fly over people's heads and knock them over.
Unexpectedly, the car almost overturned today.
Li Qi comforted it and said: "Don't worry, when you are powerful, we will go back first!"
"Cuckoo!"
The arrow rain did not stop, but as the height of the rocket continued to climb, the arrows flew to the highest point and were a certain height away from the rocket, and then they were pulled by gravity and fell to the ground.
Rocket screamed triumphantly.
"Wow—!"
After crossing the camp of the monkey soldiers, Li Qi returned to his team and landed.
His soldiers were already in formation.
Two rows of soldiers in front formed a simple turtle shell formation, followed by three rows of musketeers.
300 people, people in each row, standing in a loose manner.
"Sir!" The noble cavalry came to Li Qi's side. They had also witnessed the training scene of musketeers and knew how terrifying this iron pipe weapon was.
The range is longer than arrows, the reloading speed is fast, the physical energy consumption is small, and it is powerful!
"Wait a moment, you lead the musketeers and charge in pursuit."
"Yes!" The noble cavalry were eager to try.
In the distance, 200 cavalrymen were coming towards us. The four-step charge was the most effective combat method for cavalry charges.
The monkey cavalry slowly pulled into the distance. In their view, the 300 porcupine soldiers were nothing but paper. As long as they could get close, a single charge would end the battle.
This era was the era of cavalry rule.
Guarding behind the shields, the soldiers holding muskets had already loaded the gunpowder and watched carefully as 300 Wuyangyang cavalry rushed towards their side.
They have absolute confidence in their weapons.
The cavalry began to enter the second step, running quickly.
And the formation also began to change, and it was calmly divided into 4 rows, with 50 people in each row.
There is a certain distance between each row, in order to maintain the formation and avoid collision with each other.
The sound of iron hooves roared like thunder.
The distance was quickly shortened.
"Prepare!"
Li Qi pulled out the sword saw from his waist and held it high.
The porcupine soldiers took a deep breath, and the front row of musketeers immediately began to take aim.
"A little closer, a little closer!" Li Qi counted quietly in his heart.
Getting closer.
The monkey cavalry has entered the third step and is running quickly.
The smoke and dust raised blocked the view.
Get within range.
Li Qi moved forward with the long sword in his hand: "Fire!"
"Oh!"
A musketeer subconsciously pulled the trigger as soon as he heard Li Qi's order.
The flint struck, and the spark ignited the gunpowder.
Bang!
The barrel vibrated.
Thick smoke rose.
The cavalryman rushing at the front suddenly felt a pain in his chest.
Then I felt dizzy and the strength in my body was quickly drained away.
what happened?
He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his chest. There was a hole in his heart armor. As the horse ran quickly, blood was gushing out.
He fell weakly from his horse.
The iron hooves of his teammates behind him would not take special care of him, and they would step down mercilessly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang bang!!"
Continuous loud noises came from the porcupine soldier camp, and the white smoke directly obscured the entire team.
Compared to the sound of iron hooves, the terrifying explosion was more like thunder on a rainy day.
In the first round of musket fire, 50-2 of the 30 cavalrymen in the first row fell directly, which had a huge impact on the rear cavalry charge and disrupted the charge formation.
Horses collide.
Screams arose.
But the gunfire didn't stop.
Li Qi is replicating the most classic three-stage strike tactic.
After the first row of soldiers fired, they quickly retreated to reload, and then let the second row of soldiers step forward and shoot.
By the time the soldiers in the third row retreated after firing, the soldiers in the first row had already loaded their ammunition.
Uninterrupted shooting can effectively make up for the slow reloading speed of the musket.
The greater the number of people, the more powerful it is.
In the eyes of the soldiers of Longship Fort in the distance, they only saw the monkey cavalry who rolled up the dust and rushed towards Li Qi's team with an invincible posture. Down.
"Four Gods above, what's going on?"
"They...are they magic?"
"That's thunder, white smoke, it must be dark clouds!"
Li Qi proved one thing to the world in his own way: the cavalry is not invincible.
Musketeers can easily defeat cavalry.
When the monkey soldiers rushed to a distance of 50 steps, there were less than fifty cavalry left who could continue charging!
There were dead horses lying on the ground, or cavalrymen whose bodies had been shot and had lost their fighting ability.
"What is that?" La Bill's face had not looked good since Li Qi appeared.
He looked at the people behind him. Behind him stood six people dressed in different styles, including men and women.
"I don't know, it should be some kind of alchemical creation."
"Alchemy creation? Can it be used directly on 300 people?" La Yao laughed angrily. Do these ignorant idiots understand how precious alchemy creation is?
A young man who looked somewhat similar to La said: "La, our cavalry is completely defeated. We should let the infantry hold up their shields to close the distance. There are one or two thousand of us, carrying our shields and slowly approaching. They also use us." no way."
La nodded: "You are right!"
"Advance the infantry shield wall!" He immediately issued an order: "Bring the cavalry back!"
Although there were less than fifty people left, each cavalryman was a huge asset, and it was impossible for La to let them die.
