Weed that is taking over #867911

I have hundreds of what I believe to be "horsetail" weeds. I've included two photos for verification. I have too many to hand pick. I have attempted to kill them with Round-up, however, that has not worked. Can you direct me to a chemical that will kill, or at least manage them? Thank you.
