Chapter 377: Bloody Battle 2

General French was right, at this time the battle had entered a critical moment, both the British army and the Boers were continuing to lose blood, although the Boers were well equipped, but the number of personnel was limited, and their reinforcements were suppressed by Colonel George's artillery, being able to contain the opponent's attack was already the limit, and the so-called counterattack was more like a return to the light.

Although the British paid a greater price, a considerable part of the British army had already entered the other side's trenches and began to advance in depth, and it was clear that it would take time for the Boers to completely pull out these nails. The British are numerically superior and have already driven into the wedge, so naturally it is impossible to give up halfway!

As General French's order was heard, the British cavalry companies prepared to attack, and they laid down their sabers and spears belonging to the cavalry, and picked up short carbines with good bayonets. Throw away all the decorations and items that are not suitable for the charge, and rush to the front line without hesitation to support their comrades!

When the second wave of British troops charged, the situation on the entire battlefield changed! The tremor coming from the ground made General French feel a little frightened! He immediately leaned down to feel the shaking of the ground, someone was coming! Lots of cavalry! They are in the southeast!

"Their target is George's artillery team! The cavalry of the Boers came up! "The cavalry duel he was looking forward to was now a talisman for the British army! At the most critical moment, at the critical moment when the British invested a large number of reserves in preparation to break through the opponent's defenses in one fell swoop! The cavalry of the Boers finally appeared, and they appeared just right, in a vacuum at the limit of the British forces!

Earlier, the British could use ample reserves to block the opponent, and it didn't matter if it was later, by then, the opposite side had already been penetrated, and the British could concentrate on this wave of cavalry! But now, the British are on both sides!

"Veron, you are ready to support General George with 800 cavalry! Take advantage of your chance, and if you fail, then I won't have enough troops to save you!" French said solemnly.

"The cavalry of the British moved!" Calyput finally launched an attack, he put all his forces into the attack on George's artillery, the fundamental reason why he chose George over French was that the latter was not something he could eat at all, even though the other side had put 1500 men in charge of the attack, but the remaining forces were still superior! In the absence of heavy weapons, cavalry charges, infantry with defense, rapid-fire weapons are almost looking for death! And George, although he has a lot of artillery, but he doesn't have enough infantry cover, this is an opportunity, a chance to turn things around in one fell swoop!

Nearly 1,500 cavalry were thrown into this decisive charge, the first fundamentalist cavalry engagement since the Boers had begun, and the running of thousands of horses shook the earth and charged at the British artillery like an angry ancient beast! The smoke from the horses' hooves covered half of the battlefield, and the Boer cavalry formed a relatively loose shock wave.

If the other party is also cavalry, this wave of Boers is likely to be crushed by the opponent's rigorous and dense cavalry formation, modern cavalry is to use discipline and formation to gain combat effectiveness, but now, in order to reduce the damage of the British machine guns, the Boers can only choose this formation to fight, and in order to defend against the British from the side of the knife, the other 500 cavalry is responsible for blocking the possible reinforcements of the British!

"Draw your sword! Hasten! Calipt personally led the team, the huge Boer cavalry group quickly approached the British position through the smoke and bullet rain, and the British troops who reacted tried to adjust the gun position, but unfortunately, there was too little time left for them, some of the artillery did not have a firing range at all, and some of the artillery had just been re-arranged, and after firing a few shells, it was the Boer swords!

The few infantry left did their best to resist the cavalry charge, but without formation, how much combat effectiveness could a plate of loose rifle fire have against the galloping cavalry? Leaving behind the gunners, logisticians, and those involved in the front-line attack, Colonel George was able to draw less than 500 infantry men! And it's scattered all over the place! And the attacking Boers are 3 times as large as the defenders!

From time to time someone was hit by an oncoming bullet, and fell off his horse twice after being shot, and then was trampled to pieces by the dense hooves of the horses, and no one mourned for their classmates, they clenched their sabers in their hands and stared at the enemy in front of them. The last few hundred meters had been crossed almost in the blink of an eye, and Colonel George's last line of defense was almost as fragile as paper under the charge of the Boer cavalry!

The sabers slaughtered the panicked infantry, the few British troops were quickly divided and surrounded, the blood and flying heads interpreted that this was a massacre rather than a battle, and the Boers sowed death with sabers and bullets, indulging their own revenge for themselves.

The large force of cavalry quickly dispersed into small groups to clear the remaining enemy, as long as there was another half an hour, Calyput believed that he could take out George's position in a large ship, completely solve this place, and then adjust the formation to prepare to meet the cavalry of French, but unfortunately, the well-trained British cavalry did not give Calyput this time! The 800 British cavalry led by Lieutenant Colonel Velen easily tore through the defenses on Calyput's flank!

Although the Boers had semi-automatic rifles, in order to support Pershing, Calyput handed over most of the semi-automatic rifles to him, and now, once there is no firearm to take advantage of, if you simply use a saber to fight, the Boers who are inferior in training and discipline will naturally not be able to resist the opponent's attack! And what is even more tragic is that the other side has 300 more people than the Boers!

A wolf is fighting its prey, and at this time, another wolf suddenly rushes out of the grass next to it and attacks, what will be the result? Calyput's main force faced this situation, but fortunately he had already taken it into account, and the cavalry on the periphery dismounted, looking for broken artillery and vehicles as shelter on the spot, and holding back the enemy with rifles and pistols. Under the protection of various obstacles, and with the absolute superiority of troops, although this wave of attacks of Velun was fierce, Calyput also barely blocked the opponent.

And at this time, the mutation happened again! In the northwest direction of the battlefield, a large cloud of dust rose into the air! Another cavalry has entered! The commanders of both sides held their breath, the fighting on the battlefield had nothing to do with them anymore, this cavalry would be the decisive factor, French and Calyput raised their binoculars and looked into the distance, when the banner of the 1st Boer Cavalry Regiment gradually became clear, the big picture was decided!
