Chapter 505: The Broken Dominoes
"Bah, damn Samanids, how can you fight like this?" Copper Ring held a rifle equipped with a bayonet in the hand-to-hand combat and dismounted a cavalryman in front of him, but he was almost slashed in the neck by the opponent who fought back fiercely before he died, and immediately scolded angrily. The attack of the Samanids this time was very strange to many people, these cavalry shouting unintelligible trumpets were very crazy, they simply regarded death as nothing, and their fighting consciousness and resilience were even stronger than the Tiance army itself. And what frightens everyone the most is that in the distance, in the area where the opposing Chinese army is located, countless people are sitting cross-legged on the ground, just like the practice of those dancing gods among the people.
However, these brass rings were temporarily invisible, and he was doing his best to lead his reserves to intercept the Samanid cavalry that had broken into the position, covering the front-line soldiers to concentrate on preventing more Samanid people from approaching. At this time, there was no need for Li Feixue to give an order, almost all the arms of the guard battalion were out of all their hearts, all kinds of shells and rockets exploded in rows in the battlefield like mushrooms everywhere, and countless figures flew over, although the large array of Samanid people was blown to pieces, but those swarming Samanid cavalry did not care at all, still bowed their heads and rushed forward.
Li Feixue stood on the high platform, staring at the Samanid cavalry who had been beaten by himself in the distance and was still unrelenting in attacking, his face began to change, others may not know the changes of the Samanid, but as a high-level general of the Western Expeditionary Army, especially as a Royal Forest Army who has been in contact with Li Xuanqing for a lot of time in recent years, he has faintly guessed the mystery of this. But guessing is guessing that he has no good way at this time, and there is only one best solution for the Samanids who no longer know what death is, and that is to completely exterminate them. Therefore, what Li Feixue was waiting for at this time was the Uighur army that had arrived here according to the time. At this time, the war has fallen into a stalemate, whether it is the guard battalion or the Samanids have already pressed all their forces on the battlefield, the competition between the two sides is who will be the first to support the fall, and in Li Feixue's opinion, if the Uighur army arrives late, then even if the battle is won, then their own guard battalion will inevitably suffer heavy losses because the position is broken through, and even if the Samanid people are defeated, it will be worth the loss, especially when Li Feixue learns part of the inside story, He is simply not willing to fight his elite with the other party.
When Li Feixue was looking forward to the Uighur army, in fact, Hammoud had already led the army to the vicinity of the battlefield of Broken Leaf City, but he and Li Feixue had discovered the strangeness of the Samanids, and because he was the one who fought against the Samanids last time, he felt more deeply than Li Feixue, the Samanid people's combat power at this time was very different from before, although the cavalry offensive of the Samanid was also fierce in the last war, but it did not make Hammud have any fear, But this time the Samanid combat resilience shocked him, a bystander, almost fearless of death, the powerful vitality of the guard battalion was able to surprise the whole army, up to now and the guard battalion dozens of short encounters, according to Hammud's estimation, if the Uighur corps is placed on the front, in the face of a cavalry assault with twice the number of people, his own corps will not be able to stop. This is not to say that the Uighur Corps' combat strength is so obvious compared to the Pro-Guard Battalion, but in terms of new weapons and tactics, the Uighur Corps cannot compare with the Imperial Forest Army such as the Pro-Guard Battalion, and as the first batch of field regiments to come into contact with the new weapons, the Central Garrison Battalion is the unit with the most experience in using new weapons within the Tiance Army, and it is almost catching up with the Flying Eagle Brigade.
"Order the troops, charge me with all my might, take down the opposing army, and it is better to capture them alive. Let Ogyan lead the main force of the corps to fight forward from behind and flank the Samanids in front and back of the personal guard battalion. Hamoud's eyes stared at the Chinese army of the Samanids for a long time, and then nodded, and the Deying behind him immediately ordered the Uighur corps to immediately move out with all their troops. Because the Samanids were already very lax in their reconnaissance in several other directions after they were fully engaged in the battle, the Uighur corps was only a dozen miles away from the battlefield at this time, so Ogyan immediately urged all the troops to charge immediately after receiving the order, and the distance of more than ten miles would be less than two hours for the cavalry, and with such a long sprint, the cavalry was just the time to maximize its speed when it came to the battlefield. Therefore, Ogonyan even asked all the fighters to take out the saber in addition to preparing the rifle, because the speed is fast, so the saber is actually more powerful than the rifle when attacking. There is no way, so far, the equipment department has not been able to come up with a qualified horse gun, and several riding guns have been improved on the basis of the formal rifle, but Li Xuanqing is not very satisfied, and because the repeating pistol is the original machine gun in later generations, Qin Yao has developed a prototype, so Li Xuanqing does not have much pursuit of the riding gun, waiting for what the repeating gun Qin Yao came up with this time.
The Uighur army's massive cavalry of more than 40,000 men exuded unparalleled power in an instant, and like the original cavalry charge of the Samanids, hundreds of thousands of horses' hooves stepped on the ground at the same time, completely shattering the steppe that had just entered spring. After Ogyan led his troops to charge, Deying personally led his own personal guard and Chinese soldiers and horses to follow Hammoud and rushed towards the Samanid Chinese army. At this time, there were almost not many people in the Chinese army of the Samanids, most of them were senior generals and their escorts in this battle, so the purpose of the thousands of elite cavalry of Deying was to rush up and decapitate the command center of the other party after Ogyan cut off the connection between the other party and the main cavalry, and at the same time, Hammoud also wanted to take a good look at what changes came from this Samanid change so much.
Two quarters of an hour is nothing for the cavalry, especially after the speed of the cavalry gradually accelerates to the maximum, the distance of more than ten miles is almost a galloping horse, and when the Ogyan side rushes to the battlefield, the Samanids have no time to react, and the front line and the guard battalion are glued to the battle dogs, even if the Samanid Chinese army reacts, it will be useless, and in a short period of time, they can't control the cavalry that is drawn out of the front line to help, so they can only watch in amazement as Ogyan leads his troops to roar by, Killed the Samanids directly from behind.
"At this time, did you think about whether it was too late to send troops back?" Hammoud and Deying and Ogyan actually arrived at the battlefield one after the other, and saw that those people who were originally sitting cross-legged on the ground on the side of the Saman army could no longer sit still at this time, and all kinds of horns suddenly sounded at this time, and suddenly smiled coldly, and after waving his right hand behind him a few times, a colorful smoke rocket suddenly rose into the air, and then roared towards the direction of the position where the guard battalion was located, and the long pillar of smoke made Li Feixue, who had been sitting and observing the changes in the battle situation, suddenly overjoyed, and almost at the same time ordered to blow the horn, which was the charge horn, The passionate sound of the horn echoed in the entire battlefield for a long time, and countless soldiers of the Tiance Army launched a counterattack from their different positions at this moment, and now not only the Samanid people regard death as nothing, but also the personal guard battalion has really hit the heart, almost all the soldiers are frantically attacking the enemy around them, and even many red-eyed soldiers of the guard battalion directly rushed to the crowd with grenades and detonated directly, pulling everyone together at the cost of their own blown bones. Therefore, under the call of the horn of the charge, everyone, including Li Feixue's personal guards, burst out with all their combat enthusiasm and combat power and began to counterattack.
The main force of the Uighur corps led by Ogyan also exchanged fire with the other side in an instant, because it was a surprise attack from behind, so Ogyan was almost in a no-man's land at the beginning, whether it was rifle shooting or saber wielding, there was no enemy at all. Ogyan stubbornly relied on the Samans to lead his troops into the opponent's attack formation before they reacted, and the addition of more than 40,000 new troops made the Samanids revitalize the chaos, and there was no way to deal with the counterattack launched by the guard battalion wholeheartedly. And the most important thing is that the war has been fought so far, the strength of the Samanid people has been consumed from the initial nearly 100,000 as much as half, and the real combat power is probably only 40,000 or 50,000, and the Uighur army has more than 40,000 people at this time, and the battlefield situation has reversed sharply compared with the two phases, and the strength of the Tiance army has been twice as much as the opponent, and as Ogyan led the army to attack deeper and deeper, the pressure on the side of the guard battalion will be reduced, so that the Samanids who have suffered from the front and rear attacks are gradually surrounded. At this time, the artillery side also began to strike at fixed points after urgently adjusting the firing range, and although the interval between each round of shells was much longer than before, the accuracy was much higher, which also made the Uighur corps deep in the opponent's crowd feel a lot more relieved.
However, unlike the battlefield situation that has become extremely clear after the joint attack of Ogyan and Li Feixue, there was something unexpected on Hammod's side, not that the headquarters of Deying's personal guard team could not defeat the escorts of the various generals who remained in the Samanid Chinese army at this time, but that Hammud's face became extremely ugly after he arrived and found the identities of those who were sitting on the ground before the Samanid Chinese army. The Samanids had indeed been connected with the Celestial Sect, and those were the monks of the Celestial Sect, who had been holding religious rituals before. This is a reasonable explanation for the fact that the Samanid cavalry was able to not fear death before. Eighty percent of them were controlled by these Heavenly Fang Sect monks, or they were drugged by something. However, Hammoud obviously did not know this, but he had lived in Gaochang since he was a child, and had traveled to most of Anxi as a teenager, and he still knew a lot about the Tianfang Sect, and the teachings of this religion honestly did not meet his definition of religion.
"Deying, settle the battle quickly, and then take down those in white robes for me." Although Hamoud's face was dark, but the order he gave did not slow down a point at all, after Deying led the army forward, countless bullets flew up, and at the same time, grenades were thrown out of the horses by these cavalry, and the continuous explosions disrupted the pace of the opponent's counterattack, which was equivalent to allowing the Deying department to calmly kill everyone in front of him, rifle bullets continued to pour out, and the Samanid escort team that could not keep up with the German and British headquarters because they did not urge the war horses before was not an opponent at all, Killed on the spot by batch after batch. In order to catch the live and divide the troops directly with Germany and Britain, Hammud inserted more than 100 elite men into the crowd of the other party, and the spears in his hands kept firing, killing several Samanid generals who tried to organize defense, and at the same time, the grenades did not explode in the crowd like money, and Hammud relied on this method to squeeze in directly.
"It's too late to think about running for your life at this time?" Seeing several generals in golden armor and golden helmets in the core place, Hammud hurriedly took those monks to escape, and couldn't help but sneer, letting the people and horses around him quickly catch up, and at the same time aiming his own gun at the shiny golden helmet and shooting it over, directly knocking down the horse. Hammoud didn't even pay attention to who he hit, and turned directly to see that Deying had led his troops to completely defeat the Samanid escorts around him and quickly rushed in front of him.
"Come forward and get me back all those with golden helmets and those who don't look like sergeants." Hammoud disdains the golden helmets worn by the senior generals of the Samanids, and the Tiance Army has strictly forbidden the generals of the field troops to wear different places from the soldiers in terms of clothing, in order to reduce the occurrence of being discovered by the enemy on the battlefield and being hit by fire, the latest military uniforms and even the general's uniforms have been deprived of the right to go to the battlefield, and all soldiers must wear the same clothing on the battlefield regardless of their position.
Hammud's side basically ended with Deying leading his troops to rush up to arrest people, and the main battlefield side of Ogyan advanced extremely fast after joining forces with Li Feixue, and the two sides advanced together, forcibly surrounding all the Samanid in the middle of the core of the battlefield, although the artillery unit had stopped shelling after the two soldiers met, but the casualties of the Samanid were increasing sharply under the continuous rain of bullets in all directions, and at this time it seemed that these Samanid people were gradually becoming weaker, was beaten by the Tiance Army and couldn't raise his head.
"General, do you want to capture the prisoners?" Ao Geyang immediately bowed after seeing Li Feixue and asked. Hammoud is not in Ogyan, and he has great respect for Li Feixue.
"Take a prisoner?" Li Feixue was stunned, originally he didn't plan to ask for these prisoners, after all, in Li Feixue's opinion, these people are weird, if they are taken back to the mainland of the Tang Dynasty as prisoners, they are afraid of endless trouble, but after thinking about it, he suddenly nodded and said: "Yes, immediately implement the policy of capturing prisoners, tell them to lay down their arms and surrender, otherwise I don't mind killing them all." ”
Li Feixue was going to capture the prisoners, but Hammud was facing the dozens of people in front of him, and suddenly he didn't know what to do? He vaguely remembered that after this battle, he was afraid that the entire Datang would face this kind of endless attack in the future, and it was also this kind of fanatical attack.
"No, this matter must be reported to the marshal as soon as possible, and let him inform the emperor to make preparations as soon as possible." Hammoud muttered to himself, but for a moment his soul was relieved to know what to do. But what he didn't know was that after the news was transmitted back to the Chang'an base camp, Li Xuanqing was a little stunned by the urgent report sent over, and sure enough, he still ran into them after all, but it was actually a Samanid, which made him a little surprised. But he understands that he is afraid that with the end of the battle between Li Feixue and Hammoud, the dominoes in the northwest and even further west that make the Western world tremble will be forcibly broken by himself, and the force that originally threatened the Western world will not be attracted to the east by himself.
