Zhu Yaozu was very satisfied with the aluminum watchtower, this thing was six or seven meters high, and after it was opened, it stood on a small mound, and the scout stood on it with a telescope, and the changes in the surrounding area within ten miles were unobstructed. Of course, the surrounding area has to be the terrain of the Huaibei Plain, which is of very limited utility in the mountainous south.

To the north of the Huai River, there is the Huanghuai Plain, and then to the north there is the Mongolian Plateau, and to the west of the Mongolian Plateau is the Western Regions where the sons of the Han family once rode horses. This Huaibei is undoubtedly the starting point for the cavalry of the Liberation Army to finally be able to display their ambitions. Therefore, the troops hope to accumulate the experience of the cavalry of the Liberation Army here, even if this experience is at the cost of the blood of the brave soldiers of the Liberation Army. Zhu Yaozu's troops were between the two Huai armies, and the brigade headquarters itself had a certain right to decide whether to carry out cavalry attacks in the face of changes in the battle situation.

The army that was moving south in a panic finally appeared on the horizon, and the Huai army, which had fallen behind in tactics, did not choose to flee back to Wuyang, but prepared to rescue the friendly forces next to it first. Brigade Commander Zhu Yaozu exchanged glances with the comrades at the brigade headquarters, saying that it would be very easy for the Liberation Army to achieve the final victory at the smallest possible cost. One part of the cavalry dismounted, and the other part of the cavalry used harassment tactics to slightly pin down the enemy's troops, which was enough to buy enough time.

However, with the wave set off by the elite cavalry, the decisive and devastating completely defeat the enemy on the plain is the most desirable thing for the cavalry troops, and it is also the cavalry's specialty of competing on the battlefield. Until now, the cavalry units had not had the opportunity to experience such a battle for themselves.

Zhu Yaozu's eyes flashed with excitement, and the eyes of the other members of the brigade department flashed with the same emotion. It is true that people are not able to give such an order when it is possible to "avoid casualties". These are human lives, and an attitude of disregard for human life is terrible for an army. However, everyone has the same strong reason to make such a choice, after all, it will not be long before the Guangfu Army will face the cavalry of Seng Lingqin in Henan, and the experience at this time means fewer losses in the future.

"Let's strike!" Zhu Yaozu said.

The staff had already prepared a map by this time, including the situation on the ground and the direction of the nearby river. Once the cavalry began to charge, it was not simply a matter of killing the enemy. It was to be fought all the way until the entire army of the broken enemy was annihilated.

Jiang Zhongjun had already seen the cavalry of the Guangfu Army entrenched in front of the Huai army like a roadblock, and he asked the Huai army infantry to temporarily stop and set up a formation. The Huai generals had never seen so many cavalry gathered together, and they ran to ask in fear what to do. Jiang Zhongjun shouted: "What are you afraid of! If they dare to come up, we will shoot them with platoon guns. How could a horse be so big that it couldn't hit! ”

After shouting, Jiang Zhongjun suddenly remembered something again, and he continued to shout: "The horse is so big, after it falls, it blocks the road, let's stabilize our spirits, put the platoon guns steady, don't be afraid of them at all!" ”

This kind of well-founded statement made the Huai army generals settle down a lot, although they didn't think of another thing, the purpose of this trip was to save Liu Kunyi in the south. Now Jiang Zhongjun in the north and they are also unable to move on the position, what if the Guangfu Army kills Liu Kunyi and then kills them?

"Oh? Stopped and gathered. This group of Huai troops is really interesting. Zhu Yaozu said with a smile.

The comrades at the brigade headquarters were also very happy, and some people joked: "These people live in ancient times, right?" ”

"Wei Qinghuo will never do such a stupid thing when they get sick!" Some comrades mocked.

"Wei Qinghuo is a cavalryman, and the infantry is Li Mu." A good comrade in military historiography corrects the erroneous knowledge points of his comrades-in-arms.

After all, there was no delay in what should have been done. Today's cavalry is no longer the kind of troops that have nothing to do when they encounter a dense array of enemies, the artillery crews of the infantry need horses to pull them, and the cavalry has never lacked horses to drag sports carts. The Liberation Army had its own cavalry guns, and the new bearings allowed the gun trucks to keep up with the movements of the cavalry brigades. Playing hedgehog tactics in front of the cavalry is self-defeating.

Jiang Zhongjun saw that the cavalry unit of the Guangfu Army suddenly killed more than a dozen squads dragging cannons, and before the Huai army had time to react, the squad rushed to a stop outside the range of the Huai army's rifles. The artillery began to fire heavily at the Huai troops at an alarming speed.

Those cannons were not front-loaded at all, and I don't know how the cavalry of the Guangfu Army tinkered behind the artillery, and then the shells flew out of the muzzle and exploded violently in the Huai army's military formation. The rate of fire of the artillery was faster than that of the rifles in front of it, and in less than a minute, before Jiang Zhongjun could see the way out, nearly 100 cannons were fired in the Huai army's military formation.

The Huai army was stunned by such a fierce shelling at first, and after receiving this fierce shelling, the Huai army did not know who reacted first. With a scream, he turned and ran. Before the shelling, there were nearly 5,000 people in the Huai army, and about 4,000 of them were still in a state of full beard and full tail. At the same time, these people turned around and began to flee from the heavy shelling of the Liberation Army.

"If we encounter such a thing, we must rush forward!" Zhu Yaozu shouted at his comrades. If the Huai army launched an attack on the cavalry artillery position of the Guangfu Army 300 meters away, it would not be possible to achieve some results. In the process of retreating, there is no more stupid choice.

After shouting, Zhu Yaozu jumped on his horse and shouted, "Pursuit!" ”

More than a thousand horses began to advance, and five thousand hooves rumbled on the ground. In the sun, the soldiers carried their riding guns and held sabers in their hands, chasing and killing the fleeing Huai army. More than a dozen cavalry guns were still bombarding, and by the time the vanguard of the cavalry crossed the line formed by a dozen cavalry guns, the shell casings on the ground had been piled up in two layers. Gone are the days when infantrymen could stand shoulder to shoulder against cavalry with a long stick.

The pursuit distance of one mile passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhu Yaozu rushed to the front of the troops. When he ordered the troops to face greater sacrifices, Zhu Yaozu did not find a reason why he did not rush to the front line. Xue Liang's steel saber waved in his hand like a wheel, chasing behind Huai Jun, Zhu Yaozu leaned out slightly from the horse, and the saber slashed towards the back of Huai Jun's neck.

With a huge momentum, the sharp saber cutting tofu generally cut Huaijun's skin, muscles, and spine, bringing out a trace of red line in the air. Zhu Yaozu smelled a little blood, which made him even more excited. didn't look at his own results, and continued to urge the war horse, Zhu Yaozu led the comrades of the cavalry brigade to kill the scattered Huai army.
