- No matter how much the cavalry harassed and harassed, they could only be disgusting, and it was the battle of justice that decided the outcome.
When Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong led troops to surround Lu'an, Luo Rucai could only lead the cavalry to move back and forth between Shucheng and Lu'an, trying to cut off the grain transportation channel of the Datong army.
These cavalry can no longer run around. Although they are still raging in villages and towns, the range of their movement is restricted.
Luo Rucai only looked at the formation and equipment of the Datong Army, and knew that he would definitely not be able to fight. So he wanted to cut off the food roads, deplete the morale of the Datong Army, and wait for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow when the Datong Army was short of food.
"My lord, we found a food delivery team ahead!"
"Go, here comes the deal!"
These old thieves are really capable. For nearly a month, they ate, drank and slopped all on the road. Go to bed at night, just put on a blanket, and it doesn't matter if you let the mosquitoes bite you.
Woke up during the day and rode wildly. When the horse was about to get tired, he quickly moved to a relatively safe area.
After resting, he ran out again, never staying too long. And only grabbing food for a day or two, can resist not grabbing goods, and try to keep your mobility as much as possible.
"The thieves are coming, line up!"
Three thousand peasants and one thousand peasants and soldiers transported grain and grass with carts.
After Jiangxi was able to produce its own telescope, this kind of equipment has been popularized to middle-level officers. In order to guard against cavalry, it is even specially equipped for food transport teams.
When Luo Rucai rushed forward with the cavalry, the trolleys had quickly formed into a formation.
On the outside are grain trucks, on the inside are farmers and soldiers, and on the inside are civilian husbands.
Zhao Han has upgraded his equipment every time, and all the eliminated ones are distributed to farmers and soldiers. These peasants and soldiers were all wearing leather armor, and the peasants raised their shields one after another to avoid being shot by the cavalry's arrows.
"Fuck into his mother!"
Luo Rucai reined in his horse and stopped far away, feeling a little headache watching the car formation.
The food transportation team of 4,000 people, facing the surprise attack of 2,000 cavalry, if it was replaced by the official army, it would probably have collapsed by this time.
But not only the peasants and soldiers did not collapse, the peasants did not run away, but they also took the initiative to gather the trolleys into a circle.
With a big wave of Luo Rucai's hand, the cavalry divided into two teams and charged towards the two sides of the food transport team. According to his experience, if he rushed within twenty or thirty steps, the enemy soldiers would definitely run away in fright.
"Don't look outside, bury your head and raise your shield to hide!" The officer of the grain transportation team shouted.
In fact, the peasants are also afraid. There are shields on the grain trucks, and they are all holding the shields at the moment, squatting in the center of the trucks and shivering.
As for those farmers and soldiers, not only were they wearing leather armor, but they were all wearing small round hats. This kind of round hat can not only block the sun, but also defend against arrows, which is cheap and useful equipment.
"Shhhhhhh!"
Luo Rucai saw that the threat of charging did not work, so he ordered the cavalry to start shooting arrows.
The peasants and soldiers used the grain trucks as fortifications, squatted halfway behind the trucks with small round hats, and stretched out their long guns, waiting for the cavalry to come and die.
The cavalry fired arrows for two consecutive rounds. Although they caused damage, the effect was not great.
"Ah! My feet, my feet!"
"I've been hit by an arrow, I'm going to die!"
Several civilians shouted in horror, but arrows penetrated through the gap between the shields.
The officers of the food transportation team shouted: "Don't move, don't shout! Whoever dares to move will take back the family property. This is what was agreed before departure!"
After shouting several times in a row, the chaos in the car formation quickly stabilized.
Luo Rucai didn't order to release arrows anymore, and each cavalry only brought two quiver. Now that Lu'an is surrounded, they can't resupply nearby, and the arrows they use are one less.
"Rush again!"
Luo Rucai led the cavalry and charged again threateningly, but the chariot formation of the food transport team remained motionless.
Facing such a situation, Luo Rucai finally went blind, and simply let the cavalry dismount to rest, and fed some salt water to restore the horse's strength.
After a while, Luo Ru led his troops into the distant woods.
The sun is shining directly in this place, even if people don't suffer from heatstroke, the horses do too.
By the way, wait for the grain transportation team to start again, and charge in the middle during the march.
Waiting left and right, the food transportation team actually stayed in place, and took out dry food and drinking water to eat and drink on the spot.
All food transport teams are ordered, and their first priority is to ensure safety.
Both sides are so exhausted.
It is very worthwhile for the Datong Army to be able to use a grain transport team to hold Luo Rucai's cavalry from raging in the area
Lu Xiangsheng's war horse was not from Jeju, but was collected by Zhao Han from wealthy households.
&n?Shoot each other for an hour, and start to fight until one side can't hold it anymore (don't worry about muscle strain, the horse bow has a small tension and will not be fully drawn).
Therefore, the standard horse bow of the frontier cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has two barbs on the tip of the bow. Once your own arrows are shot, you can use the bow tip barb to pick up the arrow that fell on the ground, and shoot it back after getting the arrow.
"Dismount and light the match!"
The match made of ramie can burn continuously for 30-40 minutes, and the match must be replaced after burning out.
Under the high-speed running of the horses, the matchlock burns faster, and it takes about 20 minutes to change one - the flintlock is the destination of the dragoons.
Luo Rucai's cavalry was divided into two teams. Instead of rushing straight at the Datong cavalry, they passed by the Datong cavalry, intending to shoot an arrow as they passed by.
Within 30 steps is the best range for the horse bow, but generally around 40 steps will be used to shoot the arrow.
Seeing that all the Datong cavalry dismounted and raised their firecrackers to aim, Luo Rucai suddenly didn't know how to fight.
The shooting range of the firecracker must be far beyond the horse bow, and it will be a disadvantage to shoot it.
Taking advantage of the enemy's dismounting, he rushed over desperately?
There is not so much time to think on the battlefield, and the rogue cavalry has already made habitual actions.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Fifty paces away, the Datong cavalry opened fire one after another. Immediately after firing their guns, they got on their horses and rushed towards the hillside.
Before the rogue cavalry had time to release their arrows, they were shot by two thousand firecrackers.
They were running at high speed, and the formation was very scattered, so they were not so easy to be hit, but they were still hit by 11 people at one time. Many of them aimed at the one in front, but the bullet hit the one behind.
Bows and arrows came from both sides, and 2 Datong cavalrymen were shot. At such a long distance, even without armor, it will basically not cause fatal injuries.
The positions of the two sides were exchanged, the Datong cavalry was on the slope, and the Rogue cavalry was on the downhill.
After opening the distance, the Datong cavalry quickly dismounted and stood in place to load ammunition.
Now Zhao Han's firecrackers don't use cardboard bullets. Instead, a measuring cup made of a small bamboo tube is used. A cup of smoothing is just enough for gunpowder, and it is more convenient to use than a cardboard bullet.
Luo Rucai ordered the cavalry to meet again, and the cavalry of Datong was condescending, and the shooting was even more enjoyable this time.
Hit 19 enemies at a time, and run away immediately after firing the gun.
"Rush up and fight!"
It was only then that Luo Ru figured it out that he couldn't shoot at each other like before, but had to go straight up and fight hand-to-hand before the enemy had time to reload.
Both sides chased and fled, and came to the grain transportation team again.
The grain transport team was crossing the creek, about half way through. Seeing that the friendly army was being chased, the rest of the peasants and soldiers formed an formation immediately. Hu Dinggui led the cavalry to hide behind the spear formation, and the whole army quickly dismounted and reloaded the ammunition.
Luo Rucai was so angry that his teeth itch: "Damn it, there's no way to fight this, retreat back to Lu'an!"
