Chapter 0098: The First Battle of the Cavalry Platoon (1)

Every advance in the art of human warfare has been accompanied by bloodshed and at the cost of countless lives. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Fuxiang didn't know that his behavior was already creating history for the history of the Dragon Kingdom War.

Of course, Dong Fuxiang didn't know that he was writing history, let alone that he was recorded by history as a loser.

"Let's go-" Seeing Dong Fuxiang waving his hand on the platform, Dong Xiaoshan, the commander of the personal guards, raised his saber and pointed to the official road in front of him, the momentum was very similar to the roar of the commander of the Eight Snakes Country, "Kill and give."

Dong Xiaoshan, formerly known as Dong Xiaosan, is Dong Fuxiang's nephew, who is excellent in equestrian skills, and is both loyal and brave, so Dong Fuxiang slowly trained him to become his own personal captain.

In this attack, Dong Fuxiang did not go into battle in person. Where is the age, a person who is almost sixty years old, and still gallops with the young man? Obviously not quite suitable. Second, although Dong Xiaoshan's culture is relatively low, it is only a little troublesome to write with a pen, and his tactical literacy is not low, Dong Xiaoshan is not only very brave, but also very cunning, and it is not easy to make him suffer on the battlefield.

So Dong Fuxiang is very relieved.

Have you ever seen a team of 1,200 cavalry marching out? The distance between the front and back of a horse is only 10 meters, and the distance between the front and back of a horse in two rows on the official road should be 6,000 meters, or 6 kilometers.

Moreover, Dong Fuxiang's cavalry is still one soldier and two horses, which is equivalent to 2,400 war horses taking off on the official road!

"What a majestic Gan army!" Nie Shicheng, who was standing outside the camp, was also observing the Gan army's expedition with a monocular, "Perhaps, using cavalry to deal with the Mengyin giant bandits will have unexpected effects, right?" Nie Shicheng suddenly discovered the advantage of cavalry in suppressing bandits.

Bandits fight, always elusive and fast; The demands on officers and men are not the same when fighting bandits as they are from fighting a regular army. Fighting with the regular army, both sides are upright; And the bandits are not slippery, and if they want to win, they have to be faster and more slippery than the bandits themselves. Obviously, the infantry is not as fast and slippery as the cavalry.

The whereabouts of Dong Fuxiang's Ganjun have always been monitored by the reconnaissance personnel of the Mengshan Army along the way, and the fact that there are thousands of cavalry in his army has long been reported to Xu Lie's ears.

Xu Lie had no experience in how to fight cavalry, because the era he was galloping in had no cavalry for a long time. Perhaps some countries still retain cavalry formations, but most of them are used as protocol soldiers. Some countries have mounted police, which have a retro flavor, and female mounted police can also play a role in attracting tourists.

But this is not a problem, Xu Lie has no experience in fighting cavalry, but he has experience in fighting moving targets, and Xu Lie also knows what is very effective against cavalry.

According to Xu Lie's meaning, he was going to go to Dong Fuxiang's camp at night to steal the camp, and if he could lure out some horses through the way of "camp roaring", it would be perfect. Dong Fuxiang is a soldier in the army, Xu Lie doesn't like it very much, but the war horse under the soldier's crotch is Xu Lie's favorite.

Because Xu Lie has always wanted to form a cavalry battalion, but unfortunately there has been a shortage of war horses. Now it seems that this Dong Fuxiang didn't send a war horse to himself?

It's just that what Xu Lie didn't expect was that he was fighting Dong Fuxiang's idea of war horses, and Dong Fuxiang was also fighting the idea of Mengshan Army. Dong Fuxiang planned to use the fast movement ability of cavalry to win the battle against the Mengshan army, at least better than Wu Yijun, Wu Yijun died more than a thousand people, and in the end he didn't even see a single corpse of the other party.

Of course, Xu Lie didn't know what Dong Fuxiang was thinking, but when Dong Fuxiang sent more than 1,000 cavalry out to reconnoitre, Xu Lie understood that this general from Gansu was afraid that he didn't take the Mengshan Army in his eyes.

But Xu Lie was not angry about this, he and Du Ning studied it a little, and felt that this was a good opportunity, if the plan succeeded, wouldn't these two thousand horses be a huge wealth? At this time, although the war horse was not as good as a hundred taels of silver at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was absolutely no problem to have thirty or forty taels of silver.

"Let the reconnaissance battalion continue to work hard and bring the Gan cavalry into the second valley! Order the divisions to pay attention to the fact that the speed of the cavalry is extremely fast, ordinary rifles are not an opponent at all, and the units at least use the company as the unit of action to maintain the deterrence of the cavalry with two heavy machine guns! The whole army marched towards Valley No. 2 and prepared to encircle and annihilate the enemy's cavalry group! ”

Facing the powerful cavalry group of the Gan army, Xu Lie was a little excited and a little nervous. I was nervous for fear that my subordinates would suffer losses because they didn't know how powerful the cavalry was; Excited was the cavalry battalion of the Mengshan Army, no, the cavalry regiment finally had the most important equipment war horses.

Xu Lie asked the reconnaissance battalion to introduce the Gan cavalry into the so-called No. 2 valley, was it crazy? How do infantry lead cavalry? Even if the infantry succeeds in bringing cavalry into a certain place, isn't it worried about infantry casualties?

Xu Lie didn't lose his mind, and this kind of task was really only possible for Yan Qiubai's reconnaissance battalion to complete.

Because the reconnaissance battalion currently has the only cavalry platoon of the Mengshan Army, including the platoon commander, a total of 45 people, which is a super platoon. The war horses owned by the cavalry are naturally captured and trophies in the Battle of Pig Waist Valley, and the cavalry is the cavalry of the Qing army that rebelled after the two battles of the Pig Waist Counterattack and the Pig Waist Blockade Battle.

In fact, the number of soldiers directly converted from the cavalry status of the Qing army to the Mengshan Army was far more than the number of cavalry platoons, just because Xu Lie had no horses, he could not make more cavalry.

Cavalry platoon leader Wang Hu, originally belonged to the cavalry captain of the Qing army, has a good kung fu and good riding skills, after being captured, because the family could not come up with money to "ransom", he had to give Mengshan Army his life, and it turned out that Mengshan Army was not a liar, and everything he said was true, after two months of recruit training, Wang Hu has completely returned to his heart, and he will follow Mengshan Army in this life.

At the end of the recruit training, the news came that the Mengshan Army was going to set up cavalry, and would select cavalry in the whole army, Nima, that is his favorite, he must sign up for the competition, so this guy was recruited by the reconnaissance battalion with his outstanding riding skills and marksmanship, plus this guy turned out to be the captain of the cavalry of the Qing Army, Mao, isn't this the existing cavalry platoon commander? After Xu Lie talked to Wang Hu once, he immediately decided to let this guy serve as the first cavalry platoon commander.

Don't underestimate this platoon commander, and don't underestimate that cavalry belongs to the sunset industry, in fact, in the north of the Dragon Kingdom, cavalry has at least forty years of golden history. Even if Xu Lie is here, he wants to end the cavalry, but he will not end the cavalry spirit.

"Brothers, the commander asked us to introduce the Qing cavalry into the No. 2 valley, do you have any confidence?" In the middle of a forest, Wang Hu, who received the order, shouted loudly to his subordinates.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Except for Wang Hu, the remaining 44 guys danced wildly in the sun with shiny sabers.
