Chapter 998: Twilight of the Cavalry
"The era of nomads invading the Central Plains is over!"
On the hills, Niu Ben looked at the barbarian slave soldiers who were scattered like a tide and sighed, no matter how the barbarian cavalry drove them away, these slave soldiers refused to return to the battlefield.
Instead, the slave soldiers went mad out of fear, and they began to fight the barbarian cavalry who prevented them from escaping, and the entire barbarian camp was attacked by the slave soldiers.
Luo Quan showed a relieved smile, just like Niu Ben's thoughts, he also understood the meaning of the appearance of the machine gun, "It's time to fight back!" After a long silence, he finally said.
Niu Ben nodded, he signaled the trumpeter at this time, and suddenly the horn of the general attack resounded in the sky.
At the sound of the trumpet, the infantry walked out of the camp in an orderly manner, and the Hussite chariot that had appeared in the Battle of Jizhou was once again thrown into the battlefield by Niu Ben.
These chariots were pulled by horses and quickly formed hollow formations on the flat grassland.
Soldiers with Han-style rifles entered the middle of the chariot formation, and as the chariot formation detoured from both sides of the barbarian camp, there were cavalry in the middle of the chariot formation, and they were ready to attack at any time.
In addition to the infantry and cavalry, the artillerymen attached their artillery to their horses and quickly entered the chariot formation to find their position, and in the month they had been in Raozhou they had repeatedly practiced this tactic of fighting against the barbarian cavalry, and now they were very skilled in using it on the spot.
However, unlike in the past, there were more machine gunners in the middle of these formations, and soldiers followed the movement of the vehicles with machine guns, loading ammunition on Hussite chariots.
A fixed camp was instantly transformed into ten moving fortresses, which took the shape of a pocket and quickly encircled the barbarians.
When the Great Yu State launched a counterattack, the barbarians were in trouble, the slave soldiers lost control in desperation, the barbarian cavalry fell into a fight with the slave soldiers, and even some slave soldiers rushed into the camp to slaughter the barbarian herdsmen.
Anger born of fear led them to take out their anger on those who had enslaved them, and the barbarian camp was in shambles.
Pontor had already mounted his horse, raised his saber and slashed left and right, and if he could not control the rebellion of the slave soldiers, they would be in great trouble.
It's just that what makes him even more frightened is that it is at the same time that they are fighting, and the army of the Great Yu Kingdom gradually forms a siege against them, even if they control the barbarian slaves, they will fall into a battle to the death.
At this moment, Pando's confidence completely collapsed, they refused to admit defeat in the first defeat, they still refused to admit defeat in the second defeat, but the third time he finally felt scared.
"Pontdo, we must retreat." Bach shouted urgently that once the encirclement of the Great Chongqing Kingdom was completed, they would never be able to break through again.
Wo Tai scolded: "Bach, you coward, our pasture is here, our people are also here, where else can we escape, I won't go, I will kill every one of the people of Dayu." ”
Pang Duo closed his eyes in despair, the army of the Great Yu State was completing the encirclement network step by step, and if he didn't leave, it would really be too late.
Glancing at the clansmen in the camp, and then at the army of the Great Yu State, he said: "Retreat, no matter what, our clansmen can't escape, for the sake of the Khanate, we must keep the remaining cavalry." “
As soon as his words fell, suddenly there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves from the west, and everyone looked over, only to see that the cavalry had been coming from the west, completely blocking their retreat.
Zack shouted at this time: "That's Qi Guangyi's cavalry!" “
The hearts of the banner leaders sank, and the sudden arrival of cavalry blocked the only route they could escape, leaving them without a way to escape.
And Zack's terrible description of this cavalry they also have lingering palpitations, if according to Zack's words, this cavalry can completely deal with forty or fifty thousand cavalry, then with their current chaotic state, they will not be able to break through the blockade of this cavalry.
Qi Guangyi's arrival was like the last straw that pressed the barbarian will to resist, and at this moment, the banner leader of the barbarian tribe who came to support chose to flee.
Their tribe is no longer here, they don't need to send their lives here in the face of a desperate situation, the most important thing is the loss of their courage, in their hearts they began to fear the Great Yu Kingdom.
Zack was the first to escape, followed by the second, and the third, and the more than 100,000 cavalry who came to support fled in a chaotic manner, without discipline and order.
Now the only thing they want is to live.
Qi Guangyi looked at the barbarian cavalry who were scrambling to flee, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, these barbarians thought that he would continue to go deep into the grassland, but he did the opposite.
In his opinion, it was far from making sense to attack those tribes now than to strangle the barbarian tribes, and without the protection of the cavalry, those tribes were nothing more than fish on the chopping block, and if they were let go, their enemies would come back.
"Line up!"
The generals in the lancers issued orders one after another, like the last side of the pocket to seal the pocket array, and at the same time the soldier raised the horse pistol in his hand, his purpose was not to prevent the barbarian cavalry from escaping, and finally annihilate the barbarian cavalry, so as to greatly deplete the barbarian army.
"Bang ......"
The fleeing barbarian cavalry entered the firing range, and the lancers immediately fired, and suddenly the barbarians in the front row fell to the ground, and the barbarian routed ranks became more and more chaotic.
At the same time, Niu Ben and Luo Quan ordered all the cavalry in the hollow phalanx to attack, and cooperated with Qi Guangyi to plug the gap in the escape of the barbarians.
The car formation is to speed up the completion of the barbarian camp.
More than 50,000 cuirassiers rushed out of the chariot formation, like two silver torrents swept through the two wings, the war horses collided, the sabers flew, and the barbarian cavalry retreated more and more difficult.
In the battle with each other, the chariot formation gradually completed the encirclement, at this time the infantry showed their hideous minions, and at the same time, each chariot array launched its own machine gun.
The sound of intensive firing of "da-......" sounded again.
Under the strafing of Han-style rifles and machine guns, the barbarian cavalry and the horses that sat down were shot out of the blood mist by bullets, and a large number of barbarian cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
The artillery was not idle, shells after shells smashed into the dense barbarian cavalry, and each explosion took dozens of lives.
Because under the siege on all sides, more than 100,000 barbarian cavalry were driven together as if they were being driven sheep, and there was no place to move in the crowded places where the cavalry was concentrated, but only crowded with people, and the horses were close to the horses.
In such a state, the combat effectiveness of the barbarian cavalry was greatly reduced, but on the contrary, firearms played a greater advantage.
"Da Da Da ......"
The machine guns continued to strafe, box after box of bullets were consumed, and from early morning to evening, when the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the grassland, Niu Ben could no longer tell whether the grassland was the red of the sunset or the color of the blood of the barbarian cavalry.
