On the second day, before dawn, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside Blackwater City.When the defenders of the city heard the movement, they immediately assembled inside and outside the city walls, and the winter sun completely rose from the east, and for the first time the two sides could see each other clearly.Although Sauron and his generals had been prepared, they were still frightened by this enemy army and gasped.I saw that thousands of meters outside the city, the black pressure was full of cavalry.The war horses were next to each other, as if a black cloud was pressing from the sky, and there were more than 100,000 horses.The soldiers in the city also dealt with Lao Maozi, and at a glance they knew that they were their mortal enemies, the Cossack cavalry.When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed.Sauron knew that only the city wall was fortified, and this kind of low earthen wall could not stop Lao Maozi's several charges.It is necessary to use layers of gun arrays in order to maximize the concentration of firepower.Tens of thousands of musketeers quickly left the city and lined up outside the city in a formation of guns.The reason why Sauron dared to take the initiative to fight was that he had already taken Bai San's suggestion last night and poured water outside the city and on the city walls, and now he had formed an ice belt around the city.The ice belt is more than 100 meters away from the city wall and is also the last line of defense of the city wall.As long as Lao Maozi's cavalry rushes over, he will inevitably slip and fall to the ground.At this time, the musketeers made the final blow, which would definitely be a heavy blow to Lao Maozi.The north wind was howling, and there was a cold pressure in the air.After the Cossack cavalry army was completely assembled at the north gate, Zhirkov pulled out the command knife in his hand, turned his horse's head and shouted at the soldiers, "Tribesmen, the yellow people of the East kill my people and rob my homeland.""
Kill, kill, kill" all the Cossack cavalrymen, whether they heard him or not, waved their weapons in their hands and raised their arms and shouted."
That's right, the clansmen raise the steel knife in your hand, let us use the blood of the enemy to avenge the death of our compatriots," Zhirkov hissed and roared, turning his horse's head and waving the steel knife in his hand at the front."
Kill" "Kill" "Kill" "Kill" The sound of killing shook the sky, and the cavalry legion roared wildly, and devoured the city wall with a fanatical face."
All the soldiers are ready" Sauron squinted at the roaring cavalry from the city walls, trying to keep himself as calm as possible, and gave orders to the soldiers almost with a roar.For a while, all the inside and outside of the city wall were filled with the shouts of generals giving orders.The gun arrays outside the city were all loaded, and all the black holes in the muzzles were facing straight in front of them.All they used were flintlock pistols aided by Qiao Zhiqing, and they were also the breech rifles with the highest level of technology at this time.Because of the engraved repetition lines in the barrel, the power and range are also increased.The maximum firing range can reach more than 500 meters, and the effective firing range has also been increased to more than 200 meters.But even so, there weren't many opportunities left for the defenders of the city.More than 200 meters is an instant for the cavalry, and if it cannot form an effective fire suppression, the cavalry will quickly press even if the last batch is sacrificed.When the time comes, the infantry will not be an opponent of the cavalry at all.Sauron had already released carrier pigeons to ask for help from the city, and in the face of an army of more than 100,000 cavalry, it was extremely difficult to hold out for three days.However, he had no choice, and if he did not hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, more than 100,000 people in the city would definitely be slaughtered.Sauron knew too well the way of these old hairy people, and they were like a bunch of uncivilized savages, and there was no room for negotiation.The black cavalry corps was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that a black tide was surging from all directions, and even the air suddenly became tighter.Facing several times the enemy, although the musketeers outside the city were armed with foreign guns, they still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat with some nervousness.The commanders of the "all ready" gun formations all gave orders and raised their command knives in their hands."
Shoot" When the two sides were three hundred meters apart, the commander gave the order to shoot."
Bang, bang, bang, bang" The first row of guns emitted white gunsmoke, and the huge recoil made the barrels rise one by one, and the bullets burst out instantly, and smashed into the cavalry regiment on the opposite side in an instant.More than 100,000 cavalry charged intensively, which was a moving target for the musketeers.Compared to people, warhorses have larger targets and are easier to hit.The guns were arranged in three rows, each with more than 3,000 people.As long as the foreign guns are fired once at the same time, 3,000 bullets will be fired.The Cossack cavalry, which rushed to the front, suddenly fell more than a hundred horses.Each horse rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and the cavalry was thrown to death by inertia.However, they had already blocked the ears of the horses, and the subsequent cavalry still stepped on the corpses on the ground, and rushed forward frantically, not afraid of the sound of muskets.The commander of the "firing" gun formation still waved the order flag in his hand according to the rhythm.The musketeers of the first platoon stepped back to change their ammunition, and the musketeers of the second platoon, who were already ready, quickly stepped forward and raised their guns to fire."
Bang, bang, bang" was another volley of foreign guns, and more than 3,000 bullets whizzed out again, knocking down hundreds of cavalry for a while.After all, the distance is too far, and the crosshair is too poor after the bullet is fired.Even if the target was a war horse, and it was a dense charge, it still couldn't withstand the speed of the cavalry corps' impact.Even if there are thousands of dead and wounded, for hundreds of thousands of cavalry legions, it is almost just a little bit of damage.Soon, the cavalry regiment rushed within two hundred meters.The two sides had basically seen each other's looks clearly, and almost everyone's faces on the battlefield were full of murderous energy.The commander of the "firing" and "firing" gun formation was still waving the command flag, and the distance of 200 meters was already a dangerous distance.If you can't slow down the enemy's charge, the gun array is likely to be overwhelmed.Dense bullets streaked across the sky, buzzing through the air like locusts passing through.At this distance, the lethality of the foreign guns immediately became apparent, and the casualties of the Cossack cavalry almost tripled.The cavalry that rushed to the front, and every time the gun was fired, there were always thousands of horses tumbling to the ground.Zhirkov twitched his lower lip coldly at the back of the position, he did not expect the equipment of these Orientals to be so advanced.Now just by rushing into a distance of two hundred meters, more than two thousand cavalry have fallen to the ground.War is a test of an army's determination, and in the face of such a massive cavalry charge, Sauron did not dare to guarantee that his men would hold out to the end.As long as the gun is present, the bullet can ensure dense lethality.But if the gun formation is scattered, the individual musketeers will not be able to form an effective resistance at all.It is estimated that after firing a shot, he can't even change the bullets, and he has already become a ghost under the knife.So Sauron himself descended the city wall and stood behind the gun array with thousands of men armed with cold weapons."
Brothers, for the sake of hundreds of thousands of relatives in the city, persistence is victory.If someone retreats privately, Lao Tzu will not spare him" He straddled the war horse, raised his sword and roared from front to back.A warning was given to every musketeer in the gun formation.At this time, only by breaking the cauldron can it be possible to resist this ferocious charge.Sauron had no choice but to fight hard
