Chapter 479: Andijan's Life and Death (Part II)

"Reserve preparation" The Samanid unexpectedly invested all their strength to launch a full-army assault at this time, which not only interrupted Hammod's previous plan of protracted combat to intercept the Samanid in the Andijan area, but also made the entire Uighur corps immediately enter the most critical juncture, so not only did Ogyan, who was commanding at the front line, change his face suddenly, but Hammud also put all the reserves in his hands into the battlefield for the first time in the Chinese army, and even he was already thinking about whether to recall the 3,000-strong German and British troops.

In the era when automatic firearms were not developed, relying on the rate of fire of the formal rifle, it was basically impossible for 20,000 people to block the assault of the opponent's more than 60,000 cavalry, and the most terrible thing was that Hammud had no reserves in his hands at all, once the opponent's cavalry assault advanced army position, if there was no reserve to strangle it, then the raging cavalry could instantly tear the entire infantry position apart. This did not help even Hammud by transferring back the troops of the German-British.

"Blow the trumpet, recall Deying." After feeling the wave of air brought by the galloping of countless cavalry in front of him, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, and he immediately gave an order, and the guards behind him waved his hand and immediately launched a multicolored smoke rocket, and a long column of multicolored smoke rose into the air and slashed through the sky towards the distance.

"Looks like we're really going all out this time." Ogyan saw the multicolored smoke pillar rising into the sky and knew what this meant, his face also became solemn, his eyes stared at the Samanid cavalry group that was getting closer and closer to the effective range of the rifles, and glanced behind him, and the soldiers in the countless trenches behind him were also the same as his own, his face was solemn, but his body was as immobile as a mountain, and the rifle in his hand was pointing far ahead.

"Brothers, beat me to death." Ogyan raised his hand and fired directly with a gun, at the same time, countless soldiers chose to fire at the same time at the same time, more than 10,000 rifles in the entire front-line position spit countless fires, and the dense bullets whistled and pounced on the Samanid cavalry who entered the firing distance, but in an instant, countless galloping cavalry were put to the ground, the mournful neighing of horses and the cries of those soldiers who landed on the ground. And because the Samanids were so densely formed, there was no way for the wounded soldiers to survive the trampling of the horses' hooves of the countless cavalry behind them. After the first row of shots, they then fired according to the instructions of the veterans, although the guns were more mixed, but the lethality was not small at all, and some experienced veterans even directly adjusted the shooting scale directly to a distance of 150 zhang, and then aimed at the fastest speed, and fired at those increasingly dense targets in the distance. The five-round mid-range rifle was ejected from the cartridge casings after firing at full speed, and the crisp sound even formed a beautiful music. It's just that no one has these idleness at this time, although the soldiers on the front line have opened fire with all their might, and more and more Samanid cavalry have been killed by dense bullets, but more and more cavalry on the opposite side have pounced and the distance is constantly narrowing. Although the Samanid side had no experience in fighting with the Tiance army, they let all the warriors rely on the instinct of the nomadic cavalry to bow down on horseback and hug the horse's neck, and the unity of man and horse effectively reduced the impact point. But even so, Ogyan quickly put the second-line troops into the battlefield, with the help of more than 10,000 rifles, forming a second blow, more than 20,000 people, almost with all his might, but still unable to block the impact of the Samanids.

"The mortar opens fire immediately, up." Ogyan saw that the first wave of Samanid cavalry highlighting the death blockade line was approaching a distance of thirty zhang from him, and the number was increasing, so the guards around him immediately notified the mortar brigade to open fire, and the sound of "tom tom" continued to come out, and the cavalry artillery went all out at this moment, taking out all the shells of the last remaining base, but it was strictly limited, and each mortar was prepared with three shells, However, these three shells were put into the battlefield at the most critical moment, blowing up all the Samanid cavalry who had begun to bend their bows and arrows to counterattack.

"Haha, it's fried." Ogyan, who was busy all the time, just laughed, and then began to command the troops to counterattack. Although the mortars repelled the cavalry that broke through the blockade, more cavalry rushed forward.

"The reserves immediately attacked." Seeing that the Samanid cavalry, who had rushed up again and rushed into the position while the mortar brigade had no time to react, he directly ordered them to be thrown into reserve. The reserve of 3,000 men quickly attacked under the leadership of the veterans, because of the resistance of the trenches, although those galloping horses crossed over at the first time, but the Samanid cavalry, who had time to cheer and break through the position, faced with 3,000 bright bayonets, were quickly stabbed into a sieve. Hammoud's decisive commitment to the reserves also prevented the soldiers in the front-line trenches from suffering greater losses, and after a howl, Ogyan ignored the blood marks on his back that had just been swept by a cavalryman's sabre, and slashed the rifle in his hand, and the bullets fired were nearly shot by several cavalrymen who were close at hand.

"General, General Ogyan is just afraid that he can't stop it." Hammoud was still steady in the Chinese army, but the guards behind him couldn't help but shout as they watched the continuous Samanid cavalry breaking through the trenches and rushing into the battlefield, and the front-line troops were swept by the cavalry swords passing by and killed on the spot. At this time, the soldiers in the front-line trenches were facing the greatest pressure, not only to snipe more and more Samanid cavalry rushing towards them, but also to carry bayonets to those war horses that crossed the trenches towards them, so the casualties accompanied by the main force of the Samanid cavalry were all thrown into the battle is getting bigger and bigger. And more and more cavalry broke into the position, causing the reserves to begin to have casualties, although the speed of the opponent's troops slowed down, but the cavalry was cavalry after all, but it still had an advantage over the infantry, seeing that the troops were fighting less and less, Hammad's face finally changed, but it was not facing the battlefield that was becoming more and more fierce at this time, but staring into the distance outside the battlefield for a long time, and then suddenly spoke, the voice was a little intermittent in the shouts and shots everywhere, but the guards heard it clearly," The German and British side should have already started fighting. But before the guards understood what it meant, they were stunned by the scene below, only to see that in the fierce battle, a gunner of a mounted artillery suddenly rushed towards the dense Samanid cavalry with an explosive bag, and a loud bang exploded in the position, and the Samanid cavalry, who had already stood on his heels and had begun to counterattack the reserves, was suddenly blown to pieces by this explosive pack, and dozens of cavalry were killed in an instant. And what made Hammoud's eyes stare was that with the actions of this gunner, the cavalry artillery gunners who had used up all the shells rushed forward with explosive bags, and at the cost of their own lives, dozens of explosive bags were detonated almost in a very short period of time, and the entire position was like a major earthquake, and almost all the Samanid cavalry who broke into the position were killed. Beneath the thick smoke and dust were the brightest smiling faces of the gunners who were willing to pay for their lives for their comrades to survive.

Seeing this scene, Hammoud suddenly felt that his nose was blocked, as a general who had been fighting horses for half his life, he had never encountered such a fierce method of being willing to choose to die with the enemy without hesitation for the sake of victory, just like their identity, gunner.

"Blow the trumpet, the whole army will fight back, and beat these brutes out for me." Hamoud's roar was filled with sadness and resentment, and the gunners shielded their teammates with their own lives aroused the determination of all the Uighur soldiers to fight to the death. When Hammoud blew the horn, almost all the soldiers began to fight back, in addition to the gunners of the cavalry artillery and countless infantry soldiers also began to rush forward with explosive bags, the explosion close at hand shocked the offensive of the entire Samanid army, and then the strong counterattack of the entire Uighur army also completely made all the soldiers play real fire, relying on flesh and blood to drive the Samanid cavalry that had rushed up out of the position. Ogyan, who took the lead in launching a counterattack, even dragged a Samanid cavalryman off the back of a war horse and strangled him to death in the fierce battle, regardless of the danger of being dealt with and stabbed, and the bloody scene even made everyone shudder. The Han people were able to sacrifice their lives for victory and their colleagues, and the Uighurs could not show weakness, which was the voice of all the Uighur disciples, including Ogyan, so the Uighur army was completely crazy from top to bottom, and even in the end, those Uighur soldiers who were comfortable with the battle directly gave up their rifles and resumed their sabers to go to hand-to-hand combat.

Hammoud didn't move from beginning to end, and the Chinese army, in addition to his personal guards, was still guarding a Tiance Army battle flag to let everyone understand that the top general of the corps had been watching everyone. Hammoud was indeed looking at everyone at this time, but more often than not, he was looking into the distance. Deying is the captain of his personal guard, and he understands that this kid has not yet returned to the main battlefield Bacheng is the idea of the Chinese army that has already begun to fight the other side. The whole army of the Samanids must not have many troops left in the Chinese army, and if the 3,000 elite were taken by surprise, they would not be able to achieve unexpected results.

Hammad was right, at this time, Deying was already attacking, and the number of Samaman's Chinese army left at this time was only a few thousand, and when Deying received Hammud's multicolored smoke rocket, he had already made up his mind to raid the opponent's Chinese army and win the opponent's commander, so as to be able to overturn the entire battle situation in one fell swoop. Moreover, when he bypassed the main battlefield, the Samanids unexpectedly invested all their main forces to enter the battle, which was equivalent to directly giving the Germans and Britain a chance to implement it. So the captain of the personal guard, who later also took the road of Hammud and became a famous general, without saying a word, directly led the army to launch a surprise attack from the north towards the opponent's Chinese army, and the sound of banging gunfire accompanied by the cavalry charge made all the Samanids instantly dumbfounded, and they only realized at this time that the small force that had harassed them before did not return to the main battlefield at all, but attacked themselves at this time. Looking at the other party's posture, this is fundamentally a matter of deciding the situation. And the thousands of guards who stayed in the position of the Chinese army at this time couldn't deal with this kind of troops with strange weapons at all, and their own troops were directly defeated in just a cup of tea, and the other party was actually able to divide their troops to kill more than a dozen waves of messengers sent to the front line to communicate at the same time as attacking. At this time, set out, sounded the horn, and told the whole army to abandon the attack and return to the Chinese army, otherwise Saman's Chinese army would be directly cut off from the front line. It is clear that the other side is waiting for such an opportunity. Saman's commanders can even guess what the other party is going to do next, if they don't blow the horn, then they will definitely rush up, as long as they catch themselves and then force themselves to give orders, as long as the horn of withdrawal is blown, then their own troops on the front line will inevitably be in chaos, and this is the opportunity for the other side.

"Brothers, rush me, catch up with that old man." Deying naturally didn't know at this time that the other party had guessed his thoughts, anyway, he saw from a distance that there was a large number of people on the side of the Chinese army surrounding a gray-haired old man, it was obvious that this was the commander of Saman, so he didn't think much about it, shouted directly, and then rushed up, the rifle in his hand was too late to change after running out of bullets, and then he threw it away, and then pulled out the Tang knife and rushed up, slashing left and right, like chopping melons and vegetables, chopping over the last few stubborn Samanids in front of the white-haired old man.

"Your Highness Adullah, it's been a long time. Deying faux pas. "Deying followed Hammoud to meet people from the Samanid Empire before, so he vaguely knew this prince and nobleman of the Samanid Empire, who had been famous before. However, Deying didn't have the slightest sense of respect at this time, but smiled coldly and continued: "You don't need me to say more about what Your Highness wants to do, right?" I don't have much time either, my general is opposite at this time, and I think he must be willing to talk to you, this war should be over. ”

Abdullah did not know the Germans and the British, but he did know who the Uighur commanders were, and Hamoud's reputation in the northwest had long since spread throughout the country after several major battles. However, at this time, his situation made him have no other way, even if he didn't nod, the young general in front of him was afraid that he would have enough ways to bring his own head to crush the morale and fighting spirit of all the Samanid soldiers on the front line. And he was also very curious about this Uighur general, so he just nodded.

A desolate trumpet suddenly came from the position of the Samanid army, but this trumpet changed the battlefield of the original fierce battle. Almost all of the Uighur people couldn't help but shout, and the sound of the sound even directly shocked the Samanids on the opposite side, who were at a loss for what was going on, and directly began to retreat step by step.

"Germany and Britain have finally won." Hammoud smiled for the first time since the start of the battle when he heard the horn, and this smile gave all the guards around him hope of victory.

"Order the whole army to assault, it's our turn to strike back." The loud trumpets of Hammoud's followers began to appear over the battlefield, setting the tone for the war.
