"I think we just need to stick to the line of defense and shrink our troops, just like what we said before." The second lieutenant said.
"There are cavalry behind us. No matter what, we just need to keep the rent. When the reinforcements arrive, they can block the rent, and our duty will be completed." The second lieutenant said at this time.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo " at this time a sound of bull horns came.
"What's the matter," said the lieutenant at this moment.
"Is it the horn of the Horde?" the second lieutenant said at this time.
"Quick." The lieutenant shouted loudly at this time, and they immediately ran to the forefront.
At this time, the two officers picked up their binoculars to check the situation on the opposite side.At this time, the tribe has calmed down a little.The elderly, women, and children were all arranged behind, and some of them even picked up bows and arrows.They drove the cattle and sheep ahead of them.
And the men of the tribe are gathering at this time.They held bows and arrows in their hands.The horses stood beside them.They didn't mount their horses, but patiently waited for the leader's order.
And in the distance, a black line began to flesh out.The appearance of the cavalry can already be vaguely recognized with the naked eye, and it can be viewed through a telescope.What they saw was a team of cavalry marching towards this side.
"It looks like people on both sides are about to fight." The lieutenant squatted in the trench and said.
"It seems to be such a situation."The second lieutenant also squatted in the trench at this time and said.
"Could it be that they are really going to fight like this. Are we letting their old and weak come in?" the second lieutenant said.
"No. Better not," said the lieutenant.
"In case the other party cheats, our situation will be difficult." The lieutenant said.
"Besides, the current situation is still unclear. This is not a good thing for us. We still wait and watch the two sides charge, we can sit and wait for the battle situation. Then we can report the situation here. As for them What the consequences are is not what we are worried about." The lieutenant said with a look of nothing to do with himself.
"Well. I think it's the same. After all, losing the position is a serious crime, and the reinforcements haven't arrived yet. We simply can't afford such a crime." The second lieutenant squatted in the trench and said.
"Let's see what the two sides want," the lieutenant stood up again at this time, and then said with a telescope.
The Huns cavalry in the distance slowly approached each other, and after reaching a certain position, they suddenly launched an attack.The Huns numbered about 3000.The tribe has only 2000 people, so they don't have an advantage in numbers.
The Huns were divided into two groups.All the way away from the battle line, as if to outflank the opponent from the side.And the other one rushed over directly.
After seeing such a situation, the tribe here quickly made adjustments.Many of them rushed out.They confront each other head-on.There is also a small group of people staying in place, the elderly, children, and women are all holding bows and arrows in the tribe.They are numerous.When there are only a small number of people who have the ability to resist, they are still not opponents of each other.
"The situation is not good for the tribe." Yipan's lieutenant said with a telescope.
Sure enough, as soon as the lieutenant finished his sentence, the Hun cavalry over there quickly approached the tribe, and then kept shooting each other with bows and arrows.But the Xiongnu cavalry just didn't charge in. This is a typical Hun cavalry tactic. Using the long-range shooting ability of bows and arrows, they constantly wandered and consumed the opponent. When the opponent was exhausted to a certain extent, they would suddenly launch an attack. On the other side, the two sides are also pursuing this kind of chase, walking around and shooting each other with arrows. Qin Jun just watched the other party's performance from his own position,
1619 Parabolic Shot
"Damn it, these Huns know how to fight." The infantry lieutenant said with a telescope to check the progress of the battle.
"See them, they just run back and forth like this, they just don't fight you." Said the infantry lieutenant.
The Huns fought in a completely different way. Those who ran at the front had an advantage, while the tribal cavalry who were chasing behind suffered great losses.Because they catch up with the wind, the bows and arrows they shoot need a lot of kinetic energy.On the contrary, the arrows shot by the Huns in the front quickly shot and killed the opponent with the advantage of favorable kinetic energy.For a time, the tribal cavalry lost a lot.
The Huns seldom make direct impacts, because their weapons are not suitable for close combat, they are suitable for long-distance shooting, bows and arrows are their main weapons, but when they encounter the Qin army, especially the Qin army equipped with a large number of firearms, their advantage It will disappear a lot in front of the weapon.
Because the Qin army could directly attack the past, coupled with the sharp lethality of the firearms, this tactic of the Huns' cavalry was useless in front of the Qin army. On the contrary, the Qin army took the initiative to meet it.Take advantage of firearms and their own weapons. For example, they can use the revolver in their hands to shoot uninterruptedly, and the slender saber for short-hand assassination and combat.These are what the northern cavalry lacks. They don't have much advantage in front of such a huge advantage weapon, which directly makes it difficult for them to exert their advantages. Bows and arrows can certainly kill the Qin army, but in combat , they can only avoid, but the Qin army can directly pursue them. There is a big difference in the tactics of the two. Such a big difference directly caused the Huns to have no advantage, and they could only be passively beaten in the face of the Qin army's attack.
The two groups of armed forces were fighting non-stop, but the Huns who came to attack the tribal camp did not have the slightest intention of fighting, and they directly launched an attack.
"Whoosh." They shot into the camp like a wave of rain, and the tribes in the camp suddenly fell down, including cattle, sheep, and more old and weak women.
After the Huns attacked, the remaining tribes also quickly counterattacked.They fought back with bows and arrows.But after all, the number of people is too small, the power of bows and arrows of the old and weak is limited, and the damage caused to the Huns is too little.
Even so, the old and the weak in the tribe still stick to their camps.
"If this continues, the tribal camp may not be able to hold on." The second lieutenant on the side checked the situation with his binoculars.
"Indeed, there are a group of old and weak here, and it is impossible to shoot them." The second lieutenant said.
"We have to find a way to help them," said the lieutenant.
"Help, how can I help?" the second lieutenant asked.
"It's not bad if we can defend Renli with this little manpower. It's impossible to help them, and we are infantry, so rushing out to deal with the cavalry is a dead end." The second lieutenant said.
"Yeah, but we can't just watch like this and don't make any moves." The lieutenant said while watching the battle.
"We can't take the initiative to dispatch. This is a must. Our defense line must not be loose." The second lieutenant said.
"Let me see." The second lieutenant continued to check the battle situation with the binoculars.
"I think we can provide them with a little fire support." The second lieutenant put down the binoculars and said.
"What, fire support. It's so far away. From here to the side of the camp, there are at least 1000 or [-] steps. This distance has exceeded the range of any of our rifles. One thousand steps. At such a distance, the bullets are all downwards. Let's go. If we don't make it right, we won't be able to kill the enemy, so we will kill all the people in these tribes." The lieutenant said worriedly.
It is true that such a long range exceeds the range of a rifle and is out of reach of a machine gun.If fire support is provided, I am afraid that the bullets will hit the tribes first, not the Huns.
"If I have a way, I must have a way. Use a machine gun." The second lieutenant said.
"With a machine gun," the lieutenant asked.
"Yes. With a machine gun, just raise the angle and shoot the enemy with a parabolic trajectory. The bullets fired in this way can fly more than 500 steps, and we use .2000 machine gun bullets. The machine gun is very powerful. It is enough to hit this far. I have tested it, and once it can hit more than [-] steps. This distance is enough to suppress the opponent." The second lieutenant said.
"Just kidding, how did you develop such a tactic?" the lieutenant asked.
"There's a section in the machine gun manual, and normally, it's only the best Marines who do it. We've got nothing to do here all year long, so we've done it. That's the way to go. " said the second lieutenant after thinking about it.
"How sure are you," the lieutenant asked next.Because the lieutenant himself had never used such machine gun tactics. After all, machine guns were not equipped by ordinary troops. In order to strengthen the front-line defense capabilities of the frontier defense, the Qin Army equipped the frontier defense troops with a large number of .[-] water-cooled heavy machine guns.This kind of machine gun has a large caliber, a long range, a powerful attack, and a long duration. It is an absolute weapon for defense. Using such a weapon for defense can definitely strengthen the border defense force.
However, such weapons are only equipped with border guards and a small number of mobile elite troops. Although most troops are also equipped with machine guns, their calibers are much smaller. After all, they emphasize a balance between mobility and defense.The lieutenant was the reinforcement, so naturally he didn't know much about the technology of the .[-] machine gun.
"I don't know, but I should try it," said the second lieutenant.
"Then give it a try." The lieutenant nodded.Soon the second lieutenant ordered his men to lift out the heavy machine gun, and then put the heavy machine gun on the forward position, which could shorten the distance.After measuring the distance, the machine gun shooter tried firing a few bullets and felt confident, then aimed the machine gun shooting area at the formation where the Huns were attacking.
"Tut, chug, chug, chug." A few bursts were fired, and the bullets flew out, and the bullets shot out with a beautiful arc.
"Ah. Puff." A few bullets fell on the position where the Huns were shooting arrows like raindrops, and several Huns fell off their horses.
"Tut-chug. Chug-chug." The machine gun continued to fire, and more bullets flew out in a parabola.More and more Huns fell down, and the Huns saw that things were not going well.Immediately spread out to avoid the bullets, but Qin's bullets followed the Huns like raindrops.For a time, the Huns suffered heavy losses.Many Huns were cut in half by machine gun bullets before they knew what was going on.
1620 Noble forces
"Thug. Chug." The machine gun kept firing bullets.With the fire support of the Qin army, the Huns retreated to a distance where they could not shoot arrows. As a result, there was no way for them to attack.
The continuous attack of the Qin army's firepower made the Huns have to worry about whether the Qin army would participate, because they felt that once the Qin army participated, their offensive would be very troublesome.The Huns who attacked the tribal camp retreated quickly, and then joined the fighting Huns. After a little bit of fighting, they retreated quickly, and the Huns didn't have to continue to cause more trouble.
"Slaves, you don't want to fight with us." The Hun cavalry led by the second lieutenant guessed.
"Yes, we have been defeated by our people." The second lieutenant said.
