Chapter 278 (1/2)

The merciless fact proves once again that as long as there is no restriction of terrain, cold weapons are slag in front of hot weapons.

Even if the Yuchi people summoned up the courage and gathered nearly 1000 people to encircle and intercept the expeditionary team this time, and the number of troops invested this time was even close to ten times that of the expeditionary team, they still could not fill the natural gap between cold weapons and hot weapons until the number comparison did not break through a certain limit.

Thermal weapons, even the primitive muskets used by expeditionary teams, are far beyond the capability of long-range weapons such as bows and arrows, bone spears and so on. As long as this kind of firearm doesn't explode and has enough ammunition, the expeditionary team can rely on the advantage of long range of the firearm to suppress the Yuchi people within a limit.

Of course, the expeditionary team may not be able to suppress the crazy attack of Yuchi people regardless of casualties, but the problem is that the decisive battle site chosen by the expeditionary team is too favorable for the expeditionary team.

Although the wide tagalu river is not deep, the width of the river more than one meter deep is at least more than 20 meters. In particular, the 20 meter wide river is only about 140 meters away from the expedition team, so it is almost impossible for the Yuchi people to pass the 20 meter wide river quickly.

As long as the Yuchi people dare to cross the river by force, then the soldiers of the expedition team can call names one by one with muskets. Yuchi people who are slow in the river are the best targets. The expeditionary team doesn't even have to fight in line. It only needs accurate free shooting to stop Yuchi people in front of the beach of the tagalu river.

The expedition team reversed the situation of being ”abused” in the mountains and forests a few days ago. Compared with the narrow terrain and dense forests in the mountains, this large river beach is a paradise.

The only thing the expedition team needs to pay attention to is to get around to the 200 or so Yuchi people who were intercepted ahead of time.

However, the 200 or so Yuchi people are more than 300 meters away from the expedition team. If they want to break through the defense line guarded by Shi Xiong, a ”humanoid precision guided missile”, it is impossible for them not to drop dozens of corpses.

This is the battle plan that Shi Xiong has worked out, and the ”Duel” that lasted only more than ten minutes is just the right way to develop according to Shi Xiong's expectation.

There are many Yuchi soldiers who took part in the battle of defending Yuchi court a few days ago. But the ghost knows how these guys remember to eat or fight. They have already experienced a profound lesson, but they still don't understand that the best way to do in front of the salvo fire is to pull the line of scattered soldiers or crawl forward.

Don't think about crawling. The water in the tagalu river is enough to make those who dare to crawl breathless. But you always pull the line.

This Yuchi people will not, so a one-sided massacre began.

This time, Yuchi people's strategy of encircling, chasing and intercepting the expedition team is actually very good. Shi Xiong estimates that after Yuchi people died for two consecutive terms of chief, they found a very strategic leader.

But then there is strategy. For the Yuchi people who have never fought with heat weapons, they still lack effective methods and tactics to deal with heat weapons, which leads to the current situation of being slaughtered.

Yu Chixin, who did not know his name, did a good job in front of him. At least he did a good job in the siege and interception of the expedition team. Even Shi Xiong praised this guy he had never met.

But it was because of the lack of experience in dealing with heat weapons that Yuchi people didn't take advantage of the night to attack after gathering. This is the first fatal mistake.

If Yuchi people had taken advantage of the night to raid last night, the expedition team would never have been able to hold on to the beach. Dim environment is the biggest limitation of musketeers in this era. The Musketeers don't have a clear line of sight. They aim for nothing.
