November 9th, evening

With the sound of a piercing firecracker, the people of the entire barracks quickly waited for the upcoming big battle.

Wang Lanling looked at the black pressure array coming from the far sky, which was rows of infantry troops.

The distance is a little far, but Wang Lanling knows very well the combat methods of the Muzhou Army and the Shanzhou Army.

In the first row, it is...... It's the people and miscellaneous soldiers who transport supplies!

That's right, the tactics of the Muzhou Legion are as simple as that, first send the recruited walkers to consume the enemy's bullets, and then wait until the bullets are almost exhausted, and then the cavalry team will play a key role!

This tactic is to bully the small, and the effect is remarkable.

Especially when fighting horse bandits, everyone is against consumption, usually the miscellaneous soldiers under the horse bandits are not enough, and then they are rushed by the cavalry on the side of the army.

Guerrillas and warfare are not good in this era, because Wang Lanling clearly understands that whether it is the equipment on the side of the horse bandits or the Muzhou army, it is not as good as his!!

Even if they win, they will only be seized with some wooden sticks with a capacity of one, and there are no magazines, and there are magazines that are also pistols.

If Muzhou wants to mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of troops, it is really easy to pull the team.

"Meat grinder......"

Wang Lanling sighed self-deprecatingly, "I didn't expect that I would have to fight this kind of broken battle in my first battle." ”

The popularization and legal existence of this tactic strengthened Wang Lanling's determination to rebel against this era.

"When you get close to a kilometer, start fighting!"

Wang Lanling gave an order directly, there is no woman's kindness here, and he Wang Lanling has never been a soft-hearted person.

"Yes!" The trumpeter quickly responded.

Hu Huo looked at the approaching army in the dark, and the army of tens of thousands of people was enough to show that kind of dense fear and coercion, even if it was still far away!

"My lord, it's just snowing now, and it will be difficult for those horses to eat after tonight, and besides, I'm afraid that the grass around here has been eaten up by those horses, and they won't be able to run fast."

Hu Camel had already examined the captured horses and found that the spirit of the horses was generally not good.

It's not that I'm frightened, it's that I haven't eaten enough for many days.

Wang Lanling nodded and said: "I know this, and those people also know it, so they can't delay, otherwise they will either retreat to Yanshan County, or they will defeat our side." ”

Sending out miscellaneous soldiers and infantry units to transport supplies is to consume other people's bullets and their own food.

"Hu Huo, you go to assist Hu Santu and Tian Buying, and wait for my order to set fire." Wang Lanling is well aware of the nearby terrain and has arranged for many people to do a lot of things.

"Yes!" Hu Tuo quickly brought people over to help, bypassed Linshan County, and went to the north from the other side of the path.

He is the herdsman here, the leader of the Iron Camel tribe, and knows this place far more than the rest.

Wang Lanling looked at the approaching infantry team and said softly: "Come closer, I estimate that they will not shout until they are five hundred meters away, otherwise I won't hear clearly, then let's shoot at eight hundred meters." ”

Outside the trenches, there were many chests and wood, and in some places there were sharp wooden spikes and fist-sized holes in the ground, which were used to defend against cavalry.

The infantry who block bullets also has the task of removing these obstacles.

In front of the trench was an ordinary, rugged wasteland of more than 2,000 meters, and the paved dirt road for merchants was less than two meters wide, but most of the area was fine for horses.

At this time, more than two thousand meters away, those infantry had already begun to throw some obstacles to the positions on both sides.

Some people in the front row, still holding wooden shields inlaid with iron sheets, carefully walked forward step by step, and also provided protection for the people in the rear.

Of the 30,000 infantry, 25,000 were in front of the cavalry, and behind the first echelon were 1,000 elite infantry.

The rest of the infantry were the personal guards and descendants of some noble children.

The first platoon in the cavalry unit is also the kind of death squad or simple cannon fodder who need to be guilty of meritorious service, and these people are called death cavalry in the army.

The entire team has a strict distinction, those are elite, those are cannon fodder, and which are the big officials, all of which are clear at a glance.

Even if the barricades ahead were clear, the cavalry team did not rush to attack.

They are waiting for their time!

Thousands of old men and young men in thin clothes trembled and approached, they were all innocent people who had been forced to go this way.

"Hit!!"

Wang Lanling decisively gave an order, and it was not only his home behind him!

The trumpeter sounded the horn of war!

Hu Zhong closed his eyes, but soon opened his eyes firmly, and seriously used the rifle in his hand to aim, and fire!

The artillery on the mountain bag that had already been loaded with shells, as well as the large iron shells remodeled from gas canisters, all exploded with a roar!

They don't need to think about ammunition, they just need to kill as many enemies as possible and win the war!

Regardless of the cost of human lives and war horses, Lanling County's military expenditure in this battle is more than ten times that of the empire!

The Muzhou Legion, seven or eight hundred meters away, had obviously never encountered such a scene.

It's not the normal battlefield they remember!!

"Rush! Hurry up! Death to those who retreat! ”

The overseers who were watching the battle at the back of the team shouted loudly at this time, and directly killed several people who took advantage of the chaos to retreat.

The queue of 20,000 people is already very long, and even if you rush to the market together, you can occupy several streets.

The front men were swept away by the cannonballs and blast waves, while the middle ones were pushed by those in front and behind, and the few overseers at the back drove a large number of foot soldiers forward like cattle.

The bullets are not dense, they are more about killing some people who are running towards them quickly, and the continuous cannonballs are the main killer weapon in this battle!

Many of the foot soldiers who roared and charged forward were blown to pieces.

Even if he ran dozens of meters away from the trench in one go, he was stopped by the barbed wire fence with pointed ends everywhere, and tried to struggle forward with tears on his face.

Hu Zhong shot and killed the poor man, and the Wu Chi beside him was already ready to use a grenade, waiting at any moment.

The number of artillery pieces was too small, and soon the survivors of the black pressure pressed towards this side with rifles in their hands.

Once these infantry are within 300 meters of the trench, the artillery can no longer provide cover, otherwise they will hit the trench due to deviation.

Soon the first round of artillery began to clean the cooling barrels, which fired multiple shells, and if they continued, they would explode.

But as soon as these guns stopped, several others quickly fired the shells that had been prepared for a long time!

The continuous artillery soon scorched the wasteland, and there was no snow on the battlefield anymore, only snowflakes and blood that were still falling.

After approaching a distance of 100 meters, the infantry quickly lay on the ground and fired at this side, but the various sandbags and obstacles covered the bullets of these people in the air.

The Uchi quickly threw the grenade he had prepared, and then quickly ducked behind the sandbag.

The infantrymen who were close in close proximity quickly learned the consequences of the mistakes of the squad formation, and a few soldiers who approached were quickly blown away.

Wang Lanling looked at the battlefield calmly, these people were all people who were used to block bullets, and it was the cavalry behind that really decided the outcome of this war.

"The artillery stopped, quickly maintained. The firing crew reduces the frequency of firing. ”

The herald quickly went to the artillery team to give the order, and at the same time someone jumped into the trench to deliver specific instructions.

On snowy nights in November, it gets darker than usual, and the temperature drops quickly to freezing.

Soon, the sound of the artillery stopped intermittently, and only one person in each trench was allowed to shoot, and many more were fighting with bayonets or using grenades to clear out the majority.

Every move on one side of the battlefield was also transmitted to the cavalry commander who was watching the battle on the other side.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, and at the same time discovering that the people in the distance had already begun to fight with the approaching infantry with bayonets, the commander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If it drags on any longer, he won't be able to make a difference.

"Left and right commanders! Quickly wrap around the rear from both wings and outflank Wang Lanling! The squadron began to prepare! After outflanking, we will crush these rabbles in one fell swoop!! ”

The cavalry of the Muzhou Legion quickly began to move, and the treatment of these cavalry has always been much higher than that of the infantry.
