341 The life-and-death decision of the cavalry regiment

Luo Huo, with a fiery personality, makes good use of cavalry, endures hard fighting, surprise warfare, and long-range attacks, and once he enters a state of outnumbered enemies, it is easy to fall into a state of madness...... This is the conclusion of later military history research experts on one of the Four Heavenly Kings, General Luo Huo, this general who came out of the caravan guard, since following Xiao Letian, he is like a fish leaping into the dragon gate, and he is no longer the appearance of a submissive young man.

In the middle of the 19th century, the internal combustion engine had not yet been invented, and the long-range mobile arms on the battlefield still relied on cavalry, and all countries in the world regarded cavalry as the most important military force to focus on training, especially in Europe because they could easily buy tall Arabian horses, so the European cavalry of this era has replaced the Mongolian cavalry and become the world's strongest.

Tall and strong Arabian horses, well-crafted riding spears, and shining sabers...... This indestructible torrent, led by Luo Huo, rushed into the enemy line again and again, crushing those bug-like roadblocks to death.

Successfully broke through again and again, but it could not be exchanged for a trace of Luo Huo's smile, and in the corner of his eyes, there were constantly cavalry shot down by the enemy's bullets, the tragic wail of the tumbling war horses, and the tragic death of his comrades made everyone even more sad and angry.

"Hurry, hurry...... Don't fight anyone, now is not the time for revenge, our only task is to break through as fast as possible...... The 2nd Corps... Why are you waiting for you to be a soldier......"

No one noticed that there were strings of tears rolling down in Luo Huo's shouts, don't look at the dead are all Prussian cavalry, but during this run-in period, Luo Huo has also established a deep comradeship with them.

"My lord, be careful, ......" In a German roar, the warrior on Luo Huo's left side suddenly rode forward, and his right shoulder slammed into Luo Huo's left shoulder, and Luo Huo, who was caught off guard, was almost knocked off the horse.

Before Luo Huo could react, he heard a sudden burst of gunfire from the left flank of the road, and another wave of sneak attackers appeared, and several blood flowers suddenly bloomed on the chest of the young Prussian soldier, and he rolled off his horse without even screaming.

"I'm cāo your grandmother's ......" Luo Huo straightened up with force around his waist, and then two grenades appeared in his hands like a trick, and the grenades were already ignited.

"Damn, you're still gone, inexhaustible dog thieves...... Kill them and avenge your brothers......" There was a roar, and the flames of the explosion swallowed the bushes on the side of the road.

There were only ten enemies who sneaked up, and a rain of thunderstorms killed seven of them, and the remaining three fled. The soldiers around Luo Huo wanted to rush over and kill the three sneak attackers, but before the horse's head could rush out, Luo Huo grabbed the reins.

"The task is important, we can't fight, we continue to move forward...... If you want to get revenge, you have a chance... Walk ......"

The angry eyes of the brothers of the cavalry company were scarlet, but no one dared to disobey the military order, so they could only desperately whip the horses one by one, "go, accelerate and rush over......

More than 100 Prussian cavalry were skinned layer by layer by the sneak attackers like an onion, and the outermost brothers fell from their horses in the sneak attacks again and again, and the bushes, groves, farmsteads, and haystacks on both sides of the road...... Almost all of the obstacles were hidden by small infiltration units of the Prussian army.

These locust-like troops numbered forty or fifty people, and only seven or eight people, but without exception, they were all carefully selected elites of the Austrian side, and no matter how large or small they were, they would not be less daring to fight.

Gradually, the cavalry company exhausted all its grenades, and the number of dead soon reached sixty, and in such a brutal and bloody forced march, there was no chance that the wounded and fallen soldiers would survive, only the dead were not disabled.

"Damn, damn it, damn it, why can't you kill it?...... you can't kill it" Luo Huo's right shoulder suddenly cooled during the roar, and then the wet blood flowed down.

"Your Excellency, you're injured..."The people around him subconsciously leaned towards him, they were using their bodies to cover the safety of the chief.

"Get out of here, it's just a mosquito bite, leave me alone, keep the speed ...... Rush over, delay is death, or the whole army will be destroyed......"

The speed of the war horse has been increased to the extreme, all the horsepower has been squeezed clean, and the cavalry boys even lie on the back of the horse in pursuit of speed to reduce the wind resistance, and no one can fight back in such a position.

But there was no need to fight back, the grenades were all gone, two-thirds of the ammunition was consumed, and as for hand-to-hand combat with sabers, there was not so much time to waste.

Now it's a matter of exchanging speed for life, the faster the speed, the lower the casualties, whoever is hit can only consider it unlucky, when they roll off the warhorse, I'm afraid few people will survive.

Luo Huo was lying on the horse's back, the pain in his shoulder and the massive blood loss made his eyes dazzle, and in addition to the sound of gunshots, there was only the desperate snorting and panting of the war horse.

There was only one voice in his heart, "Accelerate, accelerate, accelerate...... Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, we have stepped on miracles all the way, and today this small gutter can still capsize? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, Lao Tzu hasn't married ten or eight daughters-in-law, Lao Tzu hasn't given birth to twenty or thirty sons to rob the family property, and I haven't seen the peaceful and prosperous world that adults say......

Thinking of this, Luo Huo suddenly straightened up his waist and shouted, "Brothers, listen to my orders, let's break through separately in a team of ten...... I don't believe it, these bastards can hide all this land with ambush soldiers, life and death are rich and noble, today I will bet on this rotten life......"

"Huh?" everyone shouted in surprise, now there are more than forty people left in the cavalry company, and this is how much strength can a ten-person squad have? How many can survive if they encounter an ambush of infantry?

But after thinking about it, everyone understood that the number of Austrian infiltration troops would not be large, and it was already the limit that they could set up an ambush on this necessary road, and they would not be able to protect such a large wilderness at all.

Forty people are divided into four squads, and if you estimate according to the probability, there may be two or three teams that will be wiped out, but the remaining team will have an exponential increase in the probability of success.

"Understood, sir, rest assured, resolutely complete the task......" A cavalry platoon commander named George gave a military salute to Luo Huo, and suddenly issued an order.

"Glorious Prussian cavalry company, we are the descendants of the proud Teutonic Knights, we will never let our friendly troops die in vain, leaving ten elite protectors of General Luo, and the remaining brothers in groups of five, we will divide up and divert the enemy......"

"Yes...", with a thunderous response, these Prussian cavalry didn't even hesitate for a moment, and the galloping cavalry company spread out like a fan.

"Holy shit, George, you bastard... Lao Tzu's military order, you dare to change it, come back for me......" Luo Huo's nose was crooked, don't look at George, he just changed the number of people in the group, but the nature of the entire order has all changed.

Luo Huo's original intention was to divide it into four teams equally, and whoever could survive was gambling on his life, and the chances of survival of each team were the same, but let George do this, six five-person teams plus one ten-person team, seven troops greatly dispersed the enemy's strength, and at the same time, the survival probability of Luo Huo's ten-person team increased exponentially.

"Stinky boy, you go back to me, I don't want to owe you a group of big-nosed favors...... Woo woo, you dare to tamper with military orders, are you still Prussian? You are not even as good as the Manchu Green Battalion soldiers......

George smiled and rode into the wilderness, of course he knew that the officers in the east were scolding him, but the harder he scolded, the warmer his heart grew. George didn't look back, just waved his hand in the wind, "No need to scold anymore, it's useless, what Mr. Xiao said is right, since the moment we put on this military uniform, we shouldn't fantasize about dying on the sickbed, only the battlefield is our home......"

"The heroic spirit of the German ancestors summons us in the sky, this is the war of our German nation, and if we want to die, we will die first, brothers...... I'll take you with me to die... Chief Luo Huo, the mission of the herald will get rid of you......"

"No...... I cāo, I cāo......" The angry Luo Huo subconsciously wanted to ride his horse and rush over, but he never expected that the crying Prussian cavalryman with a flowery face next to him flashed his saber in his hand, and the reins of Luo Huo's horse control horse were actually cut off.

"Sir, please don't act on your own, we protect you and rush over...... Don't let them die in vain..."

Luo Huo was dumbfounded this time, without the reins to control the horse, the war horse under his crotch could only follow the horses and gallop forward together, even if he was angry, it was useless.

"You ...... You're just assholes...... I don't want to owe you a favor...... "Luo Huo couldn't say any more, in his blurred vision, the team led by George had already rushed into a sparse forest, and when the figure disappeared, there were gunshots in the woods, and the sound of killing was shocking.

The tragic anger infected everyone present, and the remaining five-man squad drew their sabers and brandished them, shouting wildly, "The heroic spirits of the German ancestors are calling, the descendants of the Teutonic Knights...... Charge..."

The sound of hooves rolled like muffled thunder, and the dust bands rising into the sky on the field formed an incomparably huge fan, and Luo Huo's ten-person team was the thick fan bone in the middle, rushing towards the west.

Those Austrian soldiers who were in ambush never thought that there were only more than 40 people left in the Prussian army and dared to change formations, and for a time more than ninety percent of the ambush points were invalid, and they knew that allowing any team to successfully leave would allow the Second Army to get the latest battle report, so that all the efforts would be in vain.

"Brave Austrian soldiers, abandon the ambush position...... Fight with them openly, block them, block them here......"

"Kill, ......" Countless roars suddenly came out of the field, and groups of Austrian infiltrators rushed out of their hiding places and countercharged in the direction of the war horses.

At that moment, the gunfire was like rain, the killing was like thunder, and the entire field was blood-red in an instant.
