Chapter 1060: Reinforcements Arrive
In front of Yongji City, the bloody battle continued.
After the defeat in the first battle, 15,000 Bengali cavalry joined, greatly suppressing the counterattack of the 1st Cavalry Division, both sides were cavalry, even if the combat effectiveness of the 1st Cavalry Division was stronger, but in the face of more troops, more energetic enemy cavalry, they still showed fatigue, and the casualties of the 1st Cavalry Division began to expand, from the initial only dozens of people killed, to the current hundreds, hundreds...
This number is still growing. After four hours of bloody fighting, it was completely dark. Thanks to the weather, the Xiaonan Ming army stopped the attack, just surrounded them, taking this opportunity, Lu Zhuo ordered a rest, and then countless soldiers jumped down from the war horse with a tired face, and it was also at this time that Lu Zhuo, as the division commander, noticed that the soldiers of the division had killed about 2,000 people, and there were 500 seriously wounded, and almost all the other soldiers were wounded.
Knowing that the battle damage had reached more than a quarter, Lu Zhuo's face was gloomy and terrifying. He called the telegraph operator beside him and asked him to report the situation to the sixth young master, and at the same time added that he and his first cavalry division were ready to fight to the last moment.
When Yang Chendong got the news, he was on the way to Linchen with a thousand black horsemen and Lu Qishi, and the telegram was put aside after he read it. At this moment, he didn't know what to reply, all he could do was to rush silently, and at the same time, he also had a clearer understanding of Zhu Huiyan, the king of Guangtong. He also admitted that compared with some other Ming generals, this person knew the art of war better.
admitted, he began to underestimate this Guangtong king, Yang Chendong was also looking forward to it in his heart, hoping that the reinforcements sent by Tian Hu could arrive soon and help the first cavalry division.
In fact, the three division commanders such as Liu Duo did not delay along the way, and after getting the order, they rushed all the way from Linchen City, even if they ate on the horse. During this time, they also encountered several enemy forces that blocked them, but they were all defeated by their indomitable momentum. It was almost dawn, and they were finally less than fifty miles away from Yongji City.
As the sky slowly brightened, the cavalry of the Bengal army attacked again, and not only that, but this time there were 10,000 Miao troops who cooperated with them.
The Miao people have been able to survive until now, and it can be said that they have persevered by hard work. Facing the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army at all times, their combat effectiveness has been strengthened over time, and compared with the ordinary Ming army, they perform better and more ferocious on the battlefield.
10,000 Miao troops and more than 10,000 Bengal cavalry rushed up, indicating that the Xiaonan Ming army was ready for the final decisive battle. In this regard, Lu Zhuo did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and personally led the cavalry soldiers to meet them, although in comparison, they did not have a numerical advantage, and their physical strength after fighting hard for most of the day was much inferior to the state they were in their heyday, but the confidence to survive made them have to persevere, and persist until the last moment when they could not hold on.
The war is still going on, there will be lives lost anytime and anywhere, the wounded of the 1st Cavalry Division are increasing, the number of brothers killed in the battle is gradually increasing, the team of more than 6,000 people has become more than 5,000, more than 4,000, seeing that the battle losses have exceeded half, and still did not wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Lu Zhuo no longer knew how many enemies he had killed in this meeting, his whole body was covered with blood, some of them were his own, but more of them were enemies. Seeing that another half an hour had passed, the number of battle losses around him had exceeded 1,000, knowing that if it continued like this, I was afraid that it would not take half an hour, and the remaining 3,000 people would all die here.
Is there really no hope?
As soon as this thought rose in Lu Zhuo's heart, there was a commotion in the encirclement behind him, and then a loud and familiar military horn sounded.
This is the unique horn sound of the five-star army when it launches a charge, and when he first hears Lu Zhuo feels that this sound is so wonderful and beautiful, his whole body is so comfortable, and when he turns around, what he sees is that the infantry of the Xiaonan Ming Army retreated to both sides like a tide, and a large number of cavalry were pouring in in the middle of the position.
"It's the comrades-in-arms of the First Division of the Cavalry of the World!"
"Our reinforcements are coming, retreat, and quickly report to one place."
Finally seeing hope, Lu Zhuo didn't know where the strength came from, and while shouting loudly, his arms seemed to be full of strength, allowing him to swing his sword again to block the attack of the enemy horse in front of him.
It was the cavalry soldiers of the First Division of the World Cavalry of Liu Duo and other three regiments who came. They hurried all the way to the end, and finally arrived at the last moment, and then rushed towards the outer encirclement of the Xiaonan Ming army like a tiger from the mountain.
Under the courage of Wanfu, no one will be their one general, but whoever has the courage to stand in front of Liu Duo and others will soon become a corpse lying on this cold earth.
When more and more soldiers were killed on the ground, finally no one dared to plunder its edge, and a big road was awayed, and the first cavalry division and the first cavalry division of the world finally converged.
"Senior Commander Lu, this is handed over to us, you retreat with your brothers." As soon as Liu Duo arrived, he took over the frontal defense of the 1st Cavalry Division, which was blocked by the soldiers of the 2nd Regiment, the commander of the 3rd Regiment, Hu Xiaoer, in the center, and Bai Shuang, the commander of the 4th Regiment, behind him, protecting Lu Zhuo and more than 3,000 wounded cavalrymen and flying back.
As soon as Liu Duo arrived, he quickly taught the Bengali cavalry on the opposite side how to behave, as well as those Miao soldiers who were armed with Miao knives, the brothers of the first cavalry division in the world were either swords in one hand and shields in the other, or both hands were swords, and when the horses were as flexible as flat ground, they knew why this enemy was called the first cavalry division in the world, and they understood how wrong it was to think that the combat power of the first cavalry division was already very strong.
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.
As soon as Liu Duo's second regiment appeared, although there were only 2,000 people, they had the feeling of being beaten out by thousands of troops.
The first to suffer heavy losses were the Bengali cavalry. Because of the relationship between the cavalry, they are used to being high in peacetime, and it is difficult to look down on the infantry who are also soldiers with them, and in their eyes, they are the most powerful representatives.
But just a day ago, the First Cavalry Division taught them how to do it, let them know what kind of heavy price it would take to underestimate the opponent, and taught them that they are also cavalrymen, and their combat power is also divided into heaven and earth.
Originally, I thought that the cavalry of the first cavalry division was already very powerful, after all, it was not easy to hold on to the blows of so many infantry and more than twice as many cavalry as if they were not defeated for so long.
Seeing that the first cavalry division was about to end, and the morale of the army was about to collapse, once this was the case, when the next only one impact was needed to completely wipe out the opponent, another cavalry came, and then the opponent's two thousand cavalry dared to charge head-on. Looking at the nearly 10,000 Miao soldiers around them, and looking at the countless small Nanming soldiers around them, the Bengali cavalry smiled.
They laughed, there are still such people in this world who don't know death, they really think that they can't fight iron, just two thousand people dare to attack a group of tens of thousands of people, of course, they can't get used to it, at the moment they pulled out their horses and met them, holding their swords, they want to tell these new five-star army cavalry, how to write the word death.
Then, they did know what the dead word was. It's just a pity that it was them, not the opponents, who died.
Liu Duo and others are either one knife and one shield, or two knives, which can be attacked and defended. Punctuality can make their own defense airtight, open and close when attacking, whether it is the speed of the knife, the strength or the tricky angle is too much to chase, and even many cavalry have not seen the opponent's road before they have been hit by the knife.
Under such a dense attack, once the cavalry falls off their horses, they don't want to know the consequences. Even if you are not seriously injured, as long as you fall on the horse, there will be countless big feet on you, and it is impossible for you to live.
The strength was extremely great, and the sword was extremely fast, and most of the Bengal cavalry fell from the war horse under the face. When this scene was not interrupted, but continued to happen, the Bengal cavalry learned wisely, and one by one restrained the rushing horses, deliberately retreated, leaving the battlefield to the other infantry.
The second to be hit were the Miao soldiers.
At the forefront of their assault, and therefore after the Bengal cavalry retreated, they deservedly became the forward force. Fortunately, at this moment, the impact speed of Liu Duo's second regiment began to slow down, as if to give them a chance to breathe.
However, the third regiment came. Under the leadership of the regiment commander Ku Xiao'er, a new round of fierce rush was launched, and this impact was hitting the body of the Miao army's morale, and at the moment it was blood splashing, and the sword flashed, and many Miao troops were knocked out by the force of the war horse's forward rush, and many people were cut in the head by the next sharp war knife, just a photo, hundreds of people fell. But the assault continued, and some of the cavalry of the three regiments did not rush to the front.
Seeing that the opponent's strength was constantly exerting force, seeing that the Bengal cavalry was constantly retreating, and seeing that the surrounding Xiao Nanming soldiers were also retreating, the Miao soldiers quit. Why is there any danger for us to go up, and now they also began to retreat. made Xiao Nanmingjun, who originally seemed to have the upper hand, suddenly fall into a passive retreat.
"Don't rush, the whole army retreats, retreat." The commander of the third regiment, Hu Xiao'er, only killed two enemies, and his front became empty, and he glanced at Liu Duo's second regiment who was resting on the side with some envy.
Regardless of whether the killing intent was satisfied or not, Ku Xiao'er did not forget the main purpose of this trip, that is, he had already joined the First Cavalry Division, and the next thing to do was to rescue them, which was not only the meaning of the division commander Tian Hu, but also the order of the Sixth Young Master.
