Rear Admiral Matthew, he was the young officer who was favored by Rear Admiral Bi Li of the Royal Dutch Navy at that time, and the examination of the Shenzhou Army made him appointed as a major general. In this regard, he was quite grateful to Major General Bi Li, who went to the military academy to become an instructor, after all, if he also took the exam, then he might not be able to win so easily.

At the moment, none of this is important to him. Importantly, he was completely correct in his prediction of the enemy's movements to harass his troops, and so here, in the city of Liling, Matthew prepared a delicious feast for his enemies.

"It seems that they will immediately launch a decisive attack on Liling City!"

Matthew's armored forces were completely busy along the entire supply line, and because the speed of action was far less than that of the fast cavalry, every encirclement and suppression of the Heavenly Blessing Army almost ended in failure. Although they suffered few casualties, the poor, chariot-based unit received no points.

For Liling City, the Heavenly Estimation Army is still attacking at night, and this time it is really a decisive attack. Having become cavalry again, they got rid of the "burden" of the troops in Pingxiang City, one by one those soldiers who lost their horses. And here is their last battle.

Therefore, their actions were both ruthless and with the purpose of death, all for Geng Zhongming's plan.

"Bah...... Boom ......"

This kind of noise has been ringing for almost a whole night.

The foreign mercenaries on the ground felt uneasy, after all, it was what they relied on to protect their positions, and they were now being destroyed by their enemies in this way.

Pigs, cows, sheep, donkeys, and other domestic animals used by the people to plough the fields on the buttocks, driven by the flames of their tails, rushed over one by one, and kept wading through the minefields.

Neither small bullet mines nor spider mines can avoid their "breakthrough". In addition, the real enemy has not seen a single one until now, and the most puzzling thing is that after the news was sent to the first division headquarters, the answer received was almost unique.

"Hold the battle line, it is strictly forbidden to attack!"

The soldiers in front had no choice but to give up sleep, after all, according to this kind of troublesome enemy attack is in front of them, and a powerful attack may be launched at any time. And the news of Yichun and Pingxiang has also been coming in the past two days, and the news of their battle, as well as a large number of prisoners and scores, have made the soldiers here red-eyed.

But the officers didn't care about their feelings, they mainly cared about their duties. Therefore, one by one, they scolded the soldiers who were about to fall asleep during the big battle, but could not sleep.

"Sleep, give Lao Tzu a sleep, otherwise ......"

In fact, the officers themselves were also nervous about what was to come. In the final analysis, they are still new recruits to the battlefield in the Shenzhou Army. In the face of the "merit, money, and fighting" that they are about to get, where can they really sleep!

Minute by minute, it slipped past with the sound of explosions when the mines were cleared outside the position. As the night wore on, the constant noise made people numb and no longer worry about the noise. Even searchlights did not bother to "care" the places where the sound of the explosion of a mine was heard.

This is where the cavalry that is on the offensive can be used. The bodies of the cavalrymen and their horses were obscured by large sums of thatch, and even the light of searchlights made it difficult to see through their camouflage.

The Tianyou soldiers who personally led the team were happy to disturb the generals of the troops, and they wasted his painstaking planning for several days. Now it's time for final implementation. As soon as tonight passes, even if their battle is over, they can be trapped in the mountains for repair, as long as they don't get caught by the Shenzhou army.

If Geng Zhongming's plan succeeds in the future, after cutting off the back route of the Shenzhou army, they will serve as a strange rear in the counteroffensive, from the flank of the besieged Shenzhou army. When the time comes, even if the Shenzhou Army is better equipped, but there is no supply, isn't it for nothing!

"As long as we get closer, is there any reason for the cavalry to be afraid of the infantry?"

This time, it's a real decisive charge, and the terrain here is more conducive to battlefield charges. Although this place is also conducive to the combat of chariots, the generals of the Tianyou soldiers who are about to charge now are not only concerned, but also those chariots that they take behind them to run.

"Those things, as long as they don't come to the side, are not difficult for our cavalry at all!"

As always, there was only one point of breakthrough in the charge, and the guards of the foreign mercenaries here were so weak that there was only one line of defense at all. It seems that to ensure the safety of the city for him, Major General Matthew put most of his part in the city.

Similarly, the loud shouts of slaughter were especially loud in the night sky, and they also exhilarated the cavalry. In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, there were joyful cavalrymen, and this time there were no mines at all. And from the scattered gunfire of the other party, it can be seen that they have been attacked by surprise.

"Kill...... Ahh......h

The waves of people accompanied by the horses' hooves, like a rolling thunder, slid through the open space and echoed in the night sky.

On the position of the foreign mercenaries, only the sound of mortars sounded at this time, and the sound was only two guns in a row. Yes, this is only a company-sized position, and because of their protection of the city, the already weak forces of foreign mercenaries are further dispersed.

This is the breakthrough point chosen by the generals of the Heavenly Blessing Army, who have been observing all day. The general of the Heavenly Blessing Troop was indeed a battle-hardened general, and although he was given the order to attack to the death, his methods not only exhausted the enemy but also cleared the way for himself to charge.

Still, they could not avoid the rain of bullets, especially in the night, when the almost constant fire of the shotguns caused the cavalrymen to squint their eyes, lower their heads, and keep their iron helmets facing forward, and their necks shrunk behind their horses' necks.

Except for the interior of China Shenzhou, it is incomprehensible to other Orientals, especially those with braided hair. Such a charge, especially in the face of the position of the Shenzhou Army, was undoubtedly a suicidal attack, and they really couldn't understand it.

Looking at the rows of cavalry that fell under the "rapid-fire machine crossbows", bullets, and grenades, the foreign mercenaries were surprised by this fearless charge, and they couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts.

"What makes these people so brave and so unproductive? And it's not brave, it's just nature! ”

The brigade of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers came to the front of the fortress, and threw the burning "chain worker fire oil bomb" in their hands into the fortress. Here, like Lieutenant Colonel Reken's soldiers outside Yichun City, there were casualties under the flames.

If, just by the light of the "Death Moonlight" in the sky, the recruits were terrified, there seemed to be countless cavalry rushing there. The snow-bright sabers, the spears flashing with cold light, and the rain-like feathered arrows all gave these new foreign mercenaries a shock.

At this moment, dark red ballistics streaked across the sky, and along with them, some shrill cries like "hell ghosts" were emitted.

The foreign mercenaries in the fortress breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their heads one by one, and sat behind the sandbag breastwork. While replenishing his weapons with ammunition, he bent his neck on the other hand, knowing that the fragments of the shells flew far away.

"Listen, this is the Ghost Cannon, and with them, no enemy will be able to defeat us."

Cannonballs exploded among the charging cavalry clusters, and the men and horses in the vicinity flew into the sky like pebbles or children's toys, a feast that Matthew had prepared for the harassing troops.

When he first heard the news of the troop disturbances, Matthew had discussed the issue with his staff officer. They came to the conclusion that it would be a "dull" move to compare mobility with cavalry in the mountains.

But after discussing it, they also came to a conclusion. That is, if you don't let the enemy think that their enemy is stupid, then how can you attract them here!

But there is still a little question here, why is Matthew sure that the enemy must have Liling City as the final destination? That's because this harassing force must be constrained by Geng Zhongming's grand strategy, and they must not be afraid of sacrifice and divert the attention of the troops defending the supply line of the Shenzhou Army to the west, so as to meet the needs of Geng Zhongming's grand strategy.

This is also the fundamental reason why the chariot troops owned by the foreign mercenaries are gathered, and they have been following behind this harassing force, but they are always unable to "catch" the enemy army, and even "played" by the enemy army, and why the defense line outside Liling City is so thin.

If we have to talk about philosophy, it is called the negation of negation, that is, when the false is true, the truth is also false!

That is to lure the enemy to take the bait, so that the enemy army will devote all their strength to deal with Liling City and fall into the artillery trap. The mobility of the cavalry is good, but when compared to the shells, it seems to be a little bit worse.

Therefore, under the ballistic flying in the sky, the panicked sounds, and the powerful explosions, this bloody battle, which had just begun and had not yet been carried out as the generals of the Tianyou Soldiers had guessed, ended easily, and the officers and soldiers above and below the Tianyou Soldiers could not have imagined in any way.

Because, the resistance in the front two places gave them the illusion that the defense line they saw today was the thinnest and weakest defense line they had ever seen, but the truth was .......

As for the fate of this army, it was also very simple, the artillery fire covered the rest of the army, and when the dejected cavalry ran back, they encountered the sniper group that Major General Matthew had already arranged, and then the chariots that arrived behind.

At this point, Geng Zhongming's trick seems to have succeeded, and the main force of the Shenzhou Army covering the transportation line has completely "listened" to his words and moved west, at this time, it is time for him to stage his good show!
