The shortcomings of the Zhao army lie in the major flaw in the continuous firepower, which comes from the limitations of their troops, knowing that they are cavalry. Instead of infantry, they were mainly in the first wave of assaults. Instead of using fire-balanced weapons like infantry. This shortcoming led to the inability of the cavalry of the Zhao army to organize effective fire suppression.

This kind of firepower is okay against sporadic straggler-like attacks, but it is against organized attacks. Obviously, they also lack a more sustained weapon.

"Rush." The Qi soldiers immediately rushed over. And Zhao Jun can only face the battle at this time.

"Rush." At this time, the soldiers of the Zhao army also drew their swords, picked up the rifles with bayonets, and fought with the Qi troops who rushed over.

"Poof." Before a Zhao soldier could break out of the trench, he was stabbed with a bayonet by a Qi soldier. The bayonet stabbed mercilessly into the opponent's neck. Just when the Qi soldiers pulled out their bayonets again. The soldiers of the Zhao army on the side were holding the rifle upside down, and it swept at his legs.

"Ahh The Qi soldier suffered pain in his leg and was knocked to the ground in an instant.

"Kill." But more Qi soldiers jumped into the trenches and fought hand-to-hand with the Zhao soldiers.

"Bang. Bang bang. The sound of metal striking kept coming. The soldiers of the Zhao army and the soldiers of the Qi army immediately clashed together with sabers and bayonets in the trenches, and the two sides suddenly returned to the era of cold weapons. The soldiers on both sides still have a lot of combat skills in the era of cold weapons.

"Poof." In the fierce hand-to-hand combat, in the metal collision of knives and bayonets, from time to time there are metal objects piercing** and the sound of blood splashing. The soldiers of the Qi army want to try their best to picture the bridgehead. And the Zhao army had to do his best to defend the bridgehead. Neither side can retreat. In this way, the battle is bound to be extremely brutal.

"We must not lose ground. Give it to me. "Lieutenant Zhao Jun, the platoon commander, immediately took his platoon and pressed it all up. A bridgehead defensive position, the Zhao army only stationed a company of troops to defend, the Zhao army needs to defend the entire river defense system, their personnel and equipment are gradually increasing here, in order to strengthen the defense. Zhao Jun also stationed another company nearby as a reserve. Here a new situation is encountered. Another company was immediately reinforced.

"Damn, we're still in hand-to-hand combat. These Qi people who don't want to die. The captain saw that his men were already intertwined with the Qi soldiers. The most terrible thing is that there are more and more soldiers of the Qi army, and the Qi army desperately presses against the Zhao army.

"What to do? Our people are all intertwined. The second lieutenant on the side asked.

"Signal. Request reinforcements. We immediately kill it. The captain shouted loudly.

"Rush." The captain said and rushed out with his saber.

"Rush." His men also rushed out with sabers at this time, and the two sides fought at once.

"Bang. Bang whoosh. "Two flares in a row flew into the sky. This is a signal of urgency. A nearby Zhao company will send reinforcements in time.

The brave resistance of the Zhao army did not make the Qi army retreat all at once. Opposite. The offensive of the Qi army is getting more and more fierce. The defensive positions of the Zhao army could be broken through at any time.

"Ahh A shirtless Qi soldier grabbed the neck of the opponent Zhao soldier with both hands, and the Zhao soldier struggled desperately, his legs kept kicking. His face was already blue. The less and less breath in his body was draining the strength of his body little by little.

"Bang." Just when the Qi soldiers were about to strangle their opponents, a Zhao soldier immediately picked up the butt of a rifle. The ruthless Chaoqi army was a soldier with a heavy blow to the opponent in the back of his head. At this moment, the opponent entered a coma.

"Whew. Ahem. The Zhao soldier who was about to strangle was panting for breath, and the soldier who picked up the butt of the rifle was about to go up to give his opponent a blow. A Qi soldier came at him with a rifle loaded with a bayonet.

"Ahh The soldier who was choked by the neck screamed loudly. He deliberately reminded the rifle soldier. Prompt him that someone is coming at him from behind.

When the soldiers of the Qi army were about to approach their opponents. The Zhao soldier quickly turned around. With a twist of his waist, he avoided the bayonet that had been assassinated. Then he swung the butt of the gun vigorously and smashed it into the opponent's head.

"Bang." The butt of the gun smashed the opponent's head, and the huge impact force splashed the blood of the opponent's head everywhere at once. The butt of the gun was also smashed and flew out. The other party hit him hard and immediately fell to the ground.

"Poof." The soldiers of the Zhao army were very skilled in combat, but in the face of the crazy charge of the Qi army. In terms of courage, Zhao Jun is obviously going to lose to the opponent's momentum. Because the opponent is completely a desperate style of play. This style of play suddenly made Zhao Jun tired of coping, and the most important thing was that Zhao Jun did not have an advantage in numbers, so that. Zhao Jun's situation became extremely dangerous.

"It's a red flag. Sir. Lieutenant Zhao Jun, who was not far away, said loudly. As he spoke, he pointed to the flare in the sky.

"We have to help." The captain on the side said.

"Let us gather at once, we have to rush to help, one step late, we will be in trouble." The captain said loudly.

"All of us?" The lieutenant asked.

"Call two platoons, quick." The captain said.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant immediately turned and left. Soon, the two platoons of the Zhao army quickly spread out in a straggler attack formation and advanced towards the Zhao army's own bridgehead position.

"Poof." A Zhao soldier was smashed down by the butt of a Qi soldier's gun, and in an instant, the lower half of the Zhao soldier's whole body was deformed, and many teeth flew out. The Zhao soldier immediately lay down on the ground.

"Sir. The Qi army also came more and more. We can't resist it. A second lieutenant said, holding his wounded arm.

"The people of Qi are simply crazy. We can't resist this kind of play at all. The captain said as he watched the Qi army's frantic attack. A Qi soldier with his stomach sliced open. The intestines flowed all over the ground, and the Qi soldier dragged the intestines to protect a Zhao soldier and did not let go. Another Qi soldier quickly stabbed the Zhao soldier who was being held tightly with a bayonet. Although the Zhao soldiers tried desperately to push the Qi soldier away, it was still useless.

See such a situation. The captain was well aware that they simply would not be able to defeat such an opponent. They must retreat. In order to avoid the momentum of the other party.

"Retreat." The captain reluctantly gave the order.

"Withdraw." The second lieutenant on the side waved the pistol in his hand, allowing the Zhao soldiers to quickly leave the battle.

"Withdraw." The Zhao soldiers quickly broke away from the battle. They quickly ran towards another predetermined position. When the Zhao army retreated, there was no discipline at all, and they had been completely suppressed by the courage and momentum of their opponents.

"Damn, it's our people ahead." At this time, the captain saw that Zhao Jun was retreating towards this side and said.

"What should I do?" A lieutenant asked nervously.

"Damn it, cover them, their retreat is out of order." The captain said as he took a telescope to check the situation.

"We'll have to cover their retreat." The captain said.

"Ordered the rifles to line up and prepare for firing. Round-up gunners and pistols prepare. The captain ordered.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant quickly conveyed the order.

"Quick, there are our people in front, retreat quickly." When the captain saw his own people, he immediately shouted loudly.

Zhao Jun saw his own people. Quickly pick up the pace. Swiftly rushed towards the reinforcements of the Zhao army.

"Kill." The soldiers of the Qi army were murderous at this time, and they wanted to completely drive the Zhao army away and recapture the bridgehead position. They just need to move a little further and they can do it.

"Whoa." The Zhao soldiers quickly retreated behind the reinforcements.

"Shoot." At the time of retreat to the rear. The captain shouted quickly.

"Bang bang bang." A neat row of shots came. A volley of guns fired.

"Ahh Poof. "Many of the Qi soldiers who rushed over fell.

"Shoot." The captain shouted loudly again.

"Bang bang. Bang bang. Then came a dense burst of rifle and pistol fire.

"Alternate cover retreats. Fast. Captain Zhao Jun shouted loudly.

Zhao Jun's gunfire began to become chaotic. The Zhao army fought and retreated, while the Qi soldiers moved forward bravely, and even bullets could not stop their progress. The Qi army was bound to seize the bridgehead position of the Zhao army.

But at this time, the losses of the Qi army were also relatively large. Of the more than 800 people, more than half of them have already died in battle. If such a charge continues, the Qi army itself will not be able to withstand it. Although they are all brave people. But you can't die in battle for no reason like this.

Under the orderly firing of the follow-up reinforcements of the Zhao army, the offensive momentum of the Qi army was temporarily contained. The Qi army began to advance slowly. The Zhao army quickly retreated to the last defensive position.

At this time, half of the bridgehead positions of the Zhao army fell into the hands of the Qi army. Under the crazy and desperate style of play of the Qi army. The Zhao army lost half of its positions. However, the other half of the bridgehead was still in the hands of Zhao Jun. The Qi army was still unable to cross the river, as the pontoon bridge on the river had been burned by fire. The Qi army had to rebuild the bridge in order to retreat. Otherwise they would not be able to cross the river.

For the situation here. In the headquarters of the Qi army station. No one knows what's going on here, they're trying to pull forces to retake the bridgehead here, and they're slow to get their message around. As a result, they are becoming more and more disconnected from the battle situation, which is very disadvantageous to the Qi army.
