"Listen, there's a dense gunfire over there." Just as the cavalry was attacking another bridgehead, a sergeant alerted the battalion commander to it.

"Yes." The battalion commander said coldly. As he spoke, he set up a defensive position and drew his forces in that direction.

"Listen to the sound of gunshots, it doesn't seem to be the sound of pistols and rifles." Said a second lieutenant who had entered the defensive position on the spot.

"Sir, what's that sound?" A cavalryman asked.

"Rifles, most likely from the Qi army. We reckon we're in trouble. The second lieutenant said.

"Really?" Said the cavalryman. And the second lieutenant did not answer the question of the cavalry.

The battalion commander quickly left the bridgehead position with the troops drawn out. He needs to solve the problem of another bridgehead as soon as possible, and only by occupying another bridgehead position can he completely block the way for the Qi army to retreat south.

"What are we going to do? The Qi army has two or three hundred people, and we currently have less than a hundred. And the other side has barbed wire. There are full-fledged fortifications. A second lieutenant of the cavalry of the Zhao Army asked eagerly.

"Our commander also died. And our company battle flags, which were not taken back. What are we going to do? A lieutenant asked.

"Alright. All right. I know all of this. A lieutenant of Zhao Jun waved his arms impatiently. Means he knows it all.

The lieutenant was temporarily elected to be the commander of the company. But the situation he faced was very bad. The company lost about a platoon of troops. Worst of all, the company commander was killed in the first battle. Coupled with the loss of the company's flag, such a situation is very demoralizing.

"We need to re-engineer our offensive plans." The lieutenant said at this time.

"Before we do, though, we need to reconnoiter the situation. Our forces are at a disadvantage. The lieutenant said at this time.

At this time, a Zhao cavalryman who came up in a hurry ran over to report in a low voice.

"Sir. The battalion commander arrived. The cavalryman hurriedly told the lieutenant.

"So fast." The lieutenant asked, somewhat surprised.

"How did you do that?" At this moment, the battalion commander shouted loudly. Obviously, he was in a state of extreme dissatisfaction with the failure to take the bridgehead in time.

"This." The lieutenant could not explain at this time. Although he is now a temporary commander. But the task is still not complete.

"Stop talking nonsense. Tell us about your situation. The battalion commander hurried over. He asked.

"Here's the way." The lieutenant began to introduce.

"We follow your plan and begin a cavalry offensive to attack the bridgehead." The lieutenant began to introduce the i-situation.

"Straight to the point." The battalion commander directly interrupted the topic.

"We failed to capture the bridgehead." The lieutenant whispered.

"Nonsense." The battalion commander shot back directly.

"Loss." The battalion commander asked.

"The losses were about a platoon, more than thirty people were killed. In addition, the company commander, as well as the company battle flag, were also lost. The lieutenant replied truthfully at this time.

"You're amazing." The battalion commander scoffed.

And the lieutenant could only be helpless in the face of the battalion commander's ridicule. for he is his commander.

"What are your plans?" The battalion commander asked.

"We are reworking the battle plan, first of all. I'd like to go and scout again. The lieutenant said at this time.

"Good. Let's go together. The battalion commander said at this time.

"What?" The lieutenant said in surprise.

"Why don't you come along?" The battalion commander said.

"Yes, sir." The lieutenant said at this time.

The battalion commander and lieutenant quickly disguised themselves and crawled to the position of the Qi army to reconnoitre, and they took the binoculars in their hands to check the situation.

"No wonder you are dying, sir." The battalion commander took the binoculars to check the position of the Qi army and said.

"What, sir." The lieutenant asked cautiously.

"Your commander certainly hadn't done a meticulous reconnaissance before, but if he had done so, he would have found that there was a simple camouflaged barbed wire fence ahead, and a well-established ring of fortifications. These fortifications. They all learned from the Qin State. At this time, the battalion commander whispered.

And the lieutenant could only nod his head by default at this time. He didn't know anything about it. Because, according to what the battalion commander said, the Zhao army did not send scouts to reconnoiter at the beginning, on the contrary, they just blindly launched a cavalry offensive according to the plan arranged by the battalion commander, and as a result, in front of a perfect defense system. They became offensive.

"We've got to avoid those damn fortifications, they're just too big for us." At this time, the battalion commander said.

"Oh." The lieutenant replied in a whisper.

"Let's go back." The battalion commander said at this time. Forthwith. The battalion commander returned to the assembly place of the Zhao army.

"Our current situation is that the Qi army is in the position of the bridgehead, a well-established defense system, they have trenches, and barbed wire. These are disasters for our cavalry, these things are difficult, so that our cavalry can continue to play a shock role. The battalion commander said at this time.

"So, let's get off our horses and fight." The battalion commander said at this time. And the lieutenant on the side heard this order and opened his mouth to speak.

"We ・・・・・・". The lieutenant wanted to explain something, but the battalion commander stopped him from continuing with his hand.

"Lieutenant, your company. You will dismount and attack on foot from your position on the left flank. No matter what happens, your troops can only move forward, not retreat. Do you understand? The battalion commander said at this time.

"You must fight with your valor and tenacity. Grab the other person's attention, no matter what. None of them can retreat. The battalion commander said at this time.

"What do you mean?" The lieutenant asked.

"I need you to get the attention of the Qi army. Only then will we be able to launch a new offensive. The battalion commander said.

"And the company I brought with me will attack from the right flank. First of all, we will order the sappers to approach quietly, break down the barbed wire, and clear the way for our cavalry," said the battalion commander, looking at one of the captains he had brought with him.

And then. Our cavalry launched the main attack from the right flank, and then used our cavalry advantage to completely destroy all the opponents. As he spoke, the battalion commander instructed with his right arm. Obviously, he saw the attack on the right flank as very important.

The Zhao army had its own unique way of attacking in terms of the use of cavalry, and when they were hindered in their frontal attack, they would immediately adopt a flank attack. In this way, the enemy will pay attention to the flank direction. At the same time, adopt a multi-way offensive and coordinated play, which is to spread the opponent's forces as much as possible. Immediately, he concentrated his superior forces, with the help of the high-speed impact of the cavalry. Go on the offensive.

The order of the battalion commander has been given. Although the lieutenant wanted to refute, he was helpless, who let his company commander die in battle. The loss of the company's battle flag was a military felony, and the battalion commander did not care, but let his company take on the important task of attracting the opponent's troops. Although it is meant to sacrifice their subordinates to carry out such a mission, the lieutenant can only accept such a task under such circumstances.

In the withered grass, the soldiers of the Zhao army wore straw hats made of withered grass on their heads, and slowly approached the circular position of the Qi army. Fifty paces away from the front of the circular position, where there was no dry grass, the Qi army deliberately set aside an open space for defensive combat reaction distance.

The cavalry of the Zhao army dismounted and fought on foot, they approached slowly with their weapons, their weapons were very unsuitable for this kind of infantry offensive combat, only a few of them, less than twenty people were holding rifles, the rest were holding pistols and rifles, these weapons could be at close range, but a little longer distance, it would be a disaster for them. That's all the lieutenant wanted to say, but there was no way. The rifles, which were less than twenty men, were also the only pikes in the company.

On the right flank, some of the engineer units of the Zhao cavalry were slowly crawling forward. Their task was to remove those barbed wires. Clear the way for subsequent cavalry to launch a cavalry attack.

"There's a paragraph on this." A Zhao military engineer whispered. As he spoke, another cavalry sapper quickly stepped forward. Fix one end of the barbed wire fence with the tree finger in your hand. The Zhao sapper used the pliers in his hand to hinge the barbed wire. The entire barbed wire fence was dismantled. The whole process is quite meticulous. But slowly.

And Qi Jun. The Commander, after inspecting all the lines. Squat in the trenches and rest.

"What's up ahead?" The commander, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked a soldier at this time.

"General, there's nothing wrong." A soldier said.

"Yes, it's quiet ahead. There was nothing but the rustle of dead grass in the wind. A Qi soldier said with a rifle in his hand.

"yes, except for the rustle. Nothing. A Qi soldier repeated.

"Rustle." The commander repeated thoughtlessly at this time.

"That's not right." At this time, the commander suddenly stood up and shouted.

The soldiers around him looked at the commander strangely.

"There's nothing wrong with that." One of the soldiers said strangely.

"Shhh Don't speak. A soldier hurriedly stopped.

And the commander stood up at this time, pricked up his ears and quietly listened to the sounds around him.

However, the commander didn't seem to hear anything. He then ran to another position, and at this time, he was in the position of the right flank of the Zhao army.

"Whew." The commander exhaled, adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and used his hearing to the fullest. Let your hearing be the limit. Then I heard something unusual in the rustling sound.
