Chapter 263 (2/2)
The weapons they are equipped with have the advantage of crushing when facing the almost primitive weapons of Yuchi people. Their power and range are far beyond Yuchi people's weapons.
Therefore, as long as we keep enough distance from the Yuchi people, it is almost equivalent to unilateral massacre.
When they marched before, the stone bear told them many times. But they didn't know what the so-called crushing advantage was until they attacked the tribe of Yuchi people for the first time. They really realized how powerful their weapons were.
When attacking the second Yuchi tribe, the 70 soldiers of Xiaohe tribe, who were in charge of the main attack, began to pay attention to keeping a distance from the enemy.
And when the enemy approached, these soldiers stood still under the command of the stone bear, but 30 soldiers took down the wooden shield on their back and built a shield wall in a very short time.
Because the outer layer of this specially made wooden shield is covered with a layer of iron sheet, it weighs more than 30 jin, which is very heavy.
However, the defense power of this kind of wooden shield is also very considerable. Especially when the shield wall is built, the shield wall more than two meters high is enough to block all the enemy's long-range attacks out of the shield wall.
In the era of no muskets, this kind of shield wall is almost impossible for long-range attack weapons. Especially with the sound of bugles, the shield wall can quickly separate several cracks.
The remaining 40 soldiers lined up and, with the sound of the bugles, took turns to attack the enemy with muskets from the cracks in the separated shield wall.
After a round of firing, when the soldiers withdraw and load, the shield wall will close. Then when the next row of soldiers are ready to shoot, the shield wall will crack, and the soldiers behind the shield wall will shoot again.
This kind of tortoise shell + firearm tactics is almost unsolvable in this era. This tactic will not be suppressed unless there are a large number of enemies and all the people are surrounded.
But that is not likely to happen. These soldiers all have mounts. Once the stone bear, as a commander, finds out that there are a large number of enemies, he will definitely order to run ahead of time.
Those Yuchi people are not local tyrants to equip every soldier with a mount. Therefore, the stone bears, taking advantage of their mounts, have no solution in the face of Yuchi people.
When using this tactic, each soldier usually fires five shots, then the shield wall is removed, and the tribe soldiers begin to use bows and arrows for long-range attack.
Usually in this case, after five rounds of muskets and a few rounds of bows and arrows, the enemy is almost dead, and then the soldiers can continue to attack steadily, completely suppressing the enemy into their tribe, and finally use rockets to attack.
Even if there are fleeing enemies, the soldiers of gaoshu tribe cruising around the battlefield will kill those Yuchi people cleanly.
The main duty of the soldiers of gaoshu tribe is to be responsible for strangling the fish who have missed the net, and at the same time to prevent their information from leaking out, so that the Yuchi people can be prepared.
In this way, within half a month after they left the Xiaohe tribe, the expeditionary army of 103 people, apart from the nine days they spent crossing Dawu Mountain, the Yuchi tribe they saw today is the third tribe they met, and the first two Yuchi tribes have been completely slaughtered
