1031 rushed to the central position
"Retreat, retreat." The soldiers of the Zhao army saw the Qi cavalry suddenly appearing behind them, and hurriedly began their escape. The soldiers of the Zhao Army, who were shooting in front, also began to run, and they left their combat positions one after another, discarding their weapons and leaving the battle.
"Poof." At this time, the cavalry of the Qi army did not wait, they attacked decisively, and used the spears in their hands to continuously assassinate the soldiers of the Zhao army. The fleeing Zhao soldiers became good targets for their assassination.
"Damn it. They didn't hold out for even half an hour. "The colonel, who was standing in the distance of the third line of defense, saw with a telescope.
"We're not done yet." The lieutenant colonel said at this time.
"Command our men, get ready." The colonel reluctantly gave the order. His battle plan was to rely on flank fire to destroy his opponents. And the infantry served as a central position. Attract the opponent's active attack. Then use the exposed flank firepower to hit the opponent hard. The battle plan is good. But there is a new change, that is, his flank fire has not yet been deployed. And the opponent is quite likely to have already occupied the central position.
Because their second line of defense did not effectively provide enough time, Zhao Jun had to readjust the plan and use the third line of defense to attract opponents.
"Will our frontal positions be able to withstand it?" The lieutenant colonel asked at this time.
"I don't know." The colonel just shook his head and said.
"At the moment, we don't have anything we can do." The colonel said.
"Give it a try." The colonel said.
The lieutenant colonel turned around to convey the order.
"Run." The Zhao army on the second line of positions retreated in a panic, and their retreat turned into a real rout, and they did not have any organized retreat at all, which was a disaster for them.
And on the third line of defense. On the last line of defense of the Zhao army. The soldiers of the Zhao army were nervously entering their positions.
"Hurry." A sergeant of the Zhao Army is directing his men into position. The soldiers of the Zhao army took their weapons and entered their positions. Some of the soldiers threw logs out of their trenches, and in this way they had to fend off the attack of the opposing cavalry.
They don't have many barbed wires, and they can only localize their opponents' attacks by setting up obstacles. Some soldiers brought stones from not far away and piled them up to form a temporary barrier, hoping that in this way they would be able to defend themselves against the frantic onslaught of the cavalry.
"Hurry up. Hurry up. "And on their side. A temporary defensive position is being laid intensively. A second lieutenant of Zhao artillery is directing his men to push the cannon into a small ditch, and then use the wild grass to effectively camouflage it.
Zhao's main position was built on a low hillside, which was the only commanding height nearby, and the role of the commanding height was very important, and he could see all the ground in the vicinity. At the same time, the commanding heights were also a good platform for artillery firing positions, through which the artillery was able to fire at the enemy in all directions, and with a sufficient number of shells, the artillery could block the main passages in the entire area. It is precisely in this way that the positions of this period are all centered around the commanding heights.
The commanding heights in a theater of operations often become the main focus of a war. The formation of this focus often revolves around this commanding height. For example, at Gettysburg during the Civil War. That heights did not seem of much value today, but, at that time, it was an excellent artillery position and artillery observation position. The two armies fought desperately to seize that position. The vantage point becomes the best point for a battle to unfold.
"Hurry up, there's no time. The cavalry of the Qi army was about to rush over. The lieutenant said anxiously. They had to hide on the spot before the Qi army could observe the anomaly here, and they were the key to a decisive massacre of the Qi cavalry.
The colonel's idea was very bold. In his opinion, the number of artillery shells in his hands was very insufficient. Their supplies are very poor. As a result, they could not put the position of the artillery on the commanding heights, as usual, in which case, all the shells were exhausted. It may not be able to stop the frantic attack of the Qi cavalry. For this reason, the colonel boldly changed the battle plan, and he arranged the artillery with only a little lethal power on the side, so that the Zhao army gave full play to the advantage of flank firepower and hit the opponent fiercely, and the strong artillery fire could cause fatal damage. The colonel put the fatal blow here. But it takes a lot of courage to realize such an idea, because he has to wait for a breakthrough in the face of his central position. The colonel could only wait quietly.
"Run." The Zhao army on the second line of defense was suddenly crushed, and they ran frantically towards their own positions, thinking that as long as they ran to their positions, they could be saved.
"Da-da-da-da." The sound of horses' hooves was heard. A Qi cavalryman stepped forward quickly and stabbed the opponent with the spear in his hand.
"Poof." A violent ** punctured sound. The cavalry of the Qi army stabbed the spear in his hand into the back of the Zhao soldier, and the Zhao soldier immediately pounced on the ground under the powerful impact, and the long spear was erected. The cavalry of the Qi army frantically rushed towards the Zhao army.
"Kill." With the rise of the Qi army, their ranks had just converged and had not yet been reorganized, so they launched a new offensive against the Zhao army, and the defeated Zhao soldiers suddenly became a good target for their spears.
"Damn it." The colonel lowered the telescope in his hand. He just didn't want to watch it anymore. His people have become good targets for the cavalry of the Qi army, so what do his subordinates think, and can their morale hold on? The colonel did not know what was going on with him.
"Look at those brothers." A Zhao soldier said.
"They're completely targeted." Another sergeant said.
"Okay, don't look at it. If we don't want to grow into a target, let's set up our positions well. A lieutenant came up and said.
"We hold our ground, and only then will we not be targeted. Do you understand? The lieutenant said.
A few people, re-reinforcing their positions, they knew very well that the battle was about to begin.
"Alright. Everybody went into hiding, and that's it. The artillery lieutenant said loudly at this time. The gunners quickly entered their positions, they pushed their guns into the ditch, they temporarily piled up some hay at the position of the guns as a camouflage, and they put up some temporary sheds for the guns, which were used to cover some shelter.
"Goo." The lieutenant swallowed nervously, hoping that his disguise would deceive the other side, so that the other party could ignore his position.
His men, on the other hand, looked nervously at their officers, as if they were watching what their officers were doing. The officer's nervousness is contagious to his subordinates, and the second lieutenant looks at his subordinates and subconsciously loosens his collar, which usually indicates great nervousness.
"Rush." The Qi cavalry soon rushed to the position of the Zhao army, and the fleeing Zhao soldiers became good guides for them, because they had their own people, the Zhao soldiers could not shoot at their own people.
"Damn, it's all our own people, we can't shoot." One of the sergeants said loudly.
"These damn deserters." An ensign cursed loudly. Because of the relationship between these routs. The Zhao soldiers could not shoot, they could only watch as the Qi cavalry followed them and approached their main position little by little.
"Shall we shoot?" A young soldier asked. He was so nervous. He was tempted to open fire. This way you can kill your opponent.
"Kill." The cavalry of the Qi army followed closely and approached the central position of the Zhao army.
"Whew." Some of the routs ran into the positions of the Zhao army's own men at this time.
"Damn it. You're going to lose your ground. One of the officers yelled, and he was very annoyed that these routs had not been successful enough to defeat them.
"Huhuhu." The routs gasped for breath, and they were lucky enough to be rescued by "shooting." The officer shouted loudly at this time. There were also some Zhao soldiers who did not have time to enter their positions. However, at this time, Officer Zhao Jun couldn't think about it so much, and he couldn't lose his position because of these few people.
"Bang bang bang. Bang bang. "Chaotic gunfire began to ring. A large number of Qi cavalry fell, and Zhao Jun's own people fell.
The soldiers of the Zhao army all closed their eyes when they shot, they didn't want to see themselves shoot and kill their own people, so they would bear a great burden in their hearts.
"Whoa." The cavalry of the Zhao army and the Qi army fell. But the Qi army was still advancing.
"Kill." This time. The follow-up troops of the Qi army quickly rushed up. They charged the Zhao soldiers with their spears, and despite the obstacles that caused them great inconvenience, the cavalry still approached the Zhao army's position and launched an attack on the Zhao army.
"Poof." The spear pierced the chest of the Zhao soldier. The soldiers of the Zhao army could only use their bayonet rifles to assassinate their opponents in vain, and the length of the rifle and bayonet could not compete with the spear. The length of the spear combined with the height advantage of the cavalry, the Zhao soldiers fought in vain.
"Bang bang. Boom. Some of the soldiers fired at the cavalry, but it was of little use. All of a sudden, there were signs of a breakthrough in the central position of the Zhao army. At this time, it was difficult for the infantry to defend against the frantic attack of the cavalry, and although they had guns, the opponent had the advantage of impact speed. This advantage compensates for the problem of their combat distance.
