Chapter 184: Defeating the Rogue Cavalry

The three thieves made up their minds and decided to break through with horse army and horsemen. www.biquge.info The horn of the thief Chinese army sounded for a long time, and Li Wanqing left the Chinese army with 4,500 fast horses and joined the horse army in front of him. After the cavalry and the 7,500 horse army converged, a total of 12,000 cavalry was formed, led by the shooting force himself.

Twelve thousand cavalry rode towards Li Zhi's army, raising a cloud of smoke and dust. Tens of thousands of horses' hooves smashed on the ground, making people feel that the earth was trembling slightly.

When the rogue cavalry attacked a mile away from the Tiger Division, the eighty cannons of the Tiger Division opened fire. Although the cavalry was on horseback, the bouncing cannonballs could still take the life of the cavalry. Once hit by a bouncing shell, it is either dead or wounded.

The neck of a horse soldier was hit by a cannonball, and the shell actually broke the horse's neck alive, and hit the horse army's stomach behind the horse's neck, directly piercing the horse's stomach.

The horse army didn't groan like this, and even the people and horses fell down together, and there was no breath anymore.

A cannonball bounced on the ground and knocked down the front chest of a military horse, and the cannonball crashed directly into the body of the military horse, smashing the internal organs of the military horse into pieces, and the military horses immediately rolled over and fell to the ground, throwing the rogue horse on their back to the ground, and fell half to death.

A nearby cavalryman did not stop his horse, and rode his horse over the body of the fallen horseman. The horse's hooves stomped on the chest of the fallen rider, breaking two of his ribs in an instant.

Eighty shells drew an eighty death curve in the cavalry ranks, killing and wounding two hundred rogue cavalrymen.

The horses and bodies of the two hundred dead and wounded cavalrymen who had fallen to the ground became obstacles on the ground, causing confusion, and before the twenty horsemen had time to get around them, the horses stumbled and fell in front of them.

However, the thieves' cavalry had long known that they would be shelled, and they were prepared, and their mood was stable after sacrificing more than 200 accomplices. They calmly bypassed the corpses on the ground, and rushed towards the front of the officers and soldiers.

At a distance of four hundred meters, three hundred meters, 12,000 cavalry began to charge at full speed.

At a distance of two hundred and fifty meters, the shrapnel fired, and the field artillery fired a deadly barrage at the charging cavalry. The barrage of shotguns that burst out was like a devouring monster, enveloping the entire battlefield.

A horse soldier was riding his horse into battle, but was suddenly hit in the right chest by a shotgun. The projectile pierced the horseman's lungs like a sharp sword and flew out of his back. The shotgun pierced his right chest, killing him, and stabbed one of the horsemen behind him, shattering the horseman's stomach to pieces.

A cavalry commander dressed in armor and rode a high-headed war horse to the front of the camp, shouting loudly and rushing towards the ranks of the officers and soldiers. A shotgun flew straight into his horse's head, knocking it through and into his chest, shattering his stomach. He spurted blood from his mouth and fell down on both sides of his horse, never to get up again.

A salvo of shotguns claimed the lives of more than six hundred cavalrymen in the blink of an eye.

In front of the team of the thieves, another group of people overturned on their horses, and more than 600 horsemen who fell to the ground tripped and fell and injured many cavalrymen. Finally rushed to two hundred and fifty meters away from the Tiger Division, and the cavalry of the thieves had already lost nearly 800 men and horses.

Some of the rogue horse army's horses were originally pack horses, but they were frightened by the loud sound of cannon salvos, and these pack horses did not dare to rush any further, and fled in a panic.

At least more than 700 pack horses fled in fright, leaving the battlefield with the rogue horse army on horseback. The pack horses crashed into the other horses as they fled, shattering the entire formation of the thief cavalry.

However, the cavalry of the thieves gradually stabilized. Li Wanqing hid behind the cavalry group and led fifty old battalions to supervise the battle. He shouted loudly to boost the morale of the cavalry, and told the cavalry to continue to rush towards the front of the Tiger Division's formation, regardless of casualties and losses, to crush the Tiger Division's thin six-layer gun formation in one fell swoop.

The cavalry of the thieves had to attack the six-stage rounds of the Tiger Division.

Li Wanqing didn't know how many salvos the Tiger Division's rifle could fire, so he guessed that it would only hit three times at most, right? It is impossible for every officer and soldier to be equipped with such sharp firearms, right?

The rogue cavalry rushed towards the sixth-tiered firecrackers.

At a distance of two hundred meters, the first row of riflemen opened fire, and 1,250 rounds of ammunition were fired at the cavalrymen who were charging at high speed two hundred meters away.

At a distance, the target was again a moving cavalry, and the riflemen were not very accurate, killing only more than 700 cavalrymen.

However, these 700 dead and wounded cavalry were almost all the cavalry in the first row of the front of the thief cavalry. The cavalry in front fell, and the cavalry behind had to rein in their horses and make a detour around the dead corpses of the soldiers and horses on the ground so as not to trip over obstacles.

The few seconds of the detour gave the Tiger Master more opportunities to shoot calmly. The thieves' horsemen and horses had just rounded the obstacle and had not yet run a few steps in the direction of the Tiger Division, when the second volley began.

The soldiers in the second row stepped into the firing position and pressed the trigger.

There was another crackling gunshot, and plumes of smoke rose from the front of the Tiger Division's formation, and 1,250 rifles spat out tongues of fire and fired bullets at the thieves one hundred and eighty meters away. The high-speed spinning Mini bullet slammed into the thief's chest and body, spinning and breaking through the thief's fragile skin, stirring up the internal organs beneath the skin.

In the second volley, more than 700 rogue cavalry were shot and wounded. The forward part of the rogue cavalry was like a weed swept by a lawnmower, and a large piece of hula fell.

There are already thieves Ma Jun who can't stand such a shooting scene, and wants to flee in panic. But Li Wanqing did not let the thieves escape, and he commanded the battle behind the cavalry and killed the fleeing cavalry.

A bearded old battalion cavalryman slashed to death a horse soldier who wanted to flee with a knife, deterring other cavalrymen who wanted to escape.

Li Wanqing howled loudly, encouraging the cavalry to continue the charge.

The cavalry behind bypassed the fallen cavalry and continued to charge towards the Tiger Division.

At a distance of one hundred and sixty meters, the third platoon of soldiers went to the firing position, and the third salvo began.

This is no longer war, this is a massacre.

Another salvo of 1,250 rifles was fired, and 1,250 bullets rained down on the thieves more than 100 meters away. Another 800 rogue cavalry screamed and fell off their horses. Whether it is a rogue horse with iron armor or a rogue horse army without armor, it is fair in front of Minnie bullets, and it is all solved with one shot. These elite thieves who have been fighting for many years are as vulnerable as newborn babies in the face of rifle volleys.

The screams of the dead and wounded shook the morale of the rogue cavalry, slowing them down.

Although Li Wanqing commanded the elite old battalion in the back row to supervise the battle, the rogue cavalry was still afraid of the slaughter-like volley of fire in front of the formation. Finally rushed to a hundred and forty meters away, the rogue cavalry had already left behind three thousand dead and wounded, and the morale of the rogue had collapsed to the limit.

And what broke this limit was another rifle salvo.

Another salvo of 1,250 rifles took the lives of 800 rogue cavalrymen in an instant. The guns of the officers and soldiers dominate the battlefield as if they can't finish fighting, and they can shoot continuously and continuously. Continuing to rush forward is not fighting, it is pure suicide. Whether it was the rogue horse army or the elite horsemen, their tense nerves had been completely crushed by this mechanical but deadly volley of firearms.

In just one cup of tea, nearly 4,000 rogue cavalry had fallen under the guns of the officers and soldiers.

They no longer charged forward, but one by one they turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the rear of Li Wanqing's array. Li Wanqing led fifty old battalion cavalry to cut and kill desperately, but he couldn't stop the cavalry who retreated like a tide.

Li Wanqing looked at the cavalrymen who were riding their horses and fled, and he was very annoyed.

This time, the plan to encircle the officers and troops failed. (To be continued.) )
