Gaozhai, in the middle of the two cities from Xinxiang to Kaifeng, is a gently undulating hills, why does the baggage team pass through here?

Because the official road between Xinxiang and Kaifeng passes through Gaozhai, and it is the first large town in Kaifeng in addition to the Xinxiang border, it is the only way to Kaifeng Mansion, the terrain of the hills is gentle, and it is most suitable for the assault of the cavalry.

Gaozhai, a baggage team from the north, slowly drove out of it, marching in the direction of Kaifeng, there were really not many people escorting the baggage, definitely less than a battalion of infantry, one by one loaded with live ammunition, and the small wings were concerned about the movements around them.

After coming out of the town, the speed of the baggage team suddenly accelerated, these horses were changed here, full of strength, naturally the speed did not decrease, and it was not long before they had traveled six or seven miles from Gaozhai.

In the distance, Zhang Zongyu held a monocular in his hand, watching every move of the baggage team, yes, the Qing Demon does not have many troops, it seems that there should not be more than five hundred people, even the horsemen and agricultural workers who drive the car, there will not be more than five hundred, the Qing Demon is very weak, even if all of them are equipped with rifles, they will definitely not be able to withstand the onslaught of their five thousand cavalry! Now that we've left Gaozhai, it's time for us to do it!

Zhang Zongyu put down his hand and said slowly: "Order, all the cavalry slowly advance to the northwest, and when the distance is less than two miles, give me full speed!" Then the speed, in one fell swoop, broke down the defense line of the baggage team, and success or failure was in one fell swoop! ”

Under the command of Zhang Zongyu, the cavalry of the Twist Army rushed towards the baggage team, now it is the early spring season, the grass and trees have just begun to sprout, the entire hill, is still bare, not suitable for launching a surprise attack at all, a large number of cavalry, six or seven miles away, will be discovered by the opponent, not to mention that the Twist Army cavalry is facing the cavalry of Baoding Town.

Zhang Zongyu also understands in his heart that it is impossible to surprise and attack unprepared, and at this time, it is just two words, attack! With the help of his powerful impact power, he was able to deter the Qing Demon alive, after all, the infantry of four or five hundred people, facing five or six thousand cavalry, could scare the opponent down with just a terrifying momentum.

It's just that since the soldiers of Baoding Town dare to escort the baggage with the strength of a battalion, they have long been ready for battle, not to mention the five thousand cavalry of the Twist Army, that is, the five thousand French dragoons, and the soldiers of Baoding Town will definitely not be timid! Joke, what kind of elite in Baoding Town has not been?

Seeing the rapid approach of a group of cavalry in the distance, the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and the soldiers of Baoding Town stopped one by one.

The leader of the team was Wang Haonan, who had returned from the United States not long ago, looking at the cavalry, the corners of Wang Haonan's mouth brought out a sneer, and he secretly shouted in his heart, Lao Tzu is waiting for you!

"Brothers, immediately form a circular formation, defend with all your might, and prepare to attack, today we will take the cavalry of the bandits to open the shabu!"

Wang Haonan sneered.

In the distance, Zhang Zongyu clearly saw the movements of the infantry in Baoding Town, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, the soldiers of Baoding Town are much stronger than the Taiping Army, even under such a huge gap in strength, the soldiers of Baoding Town are still orderly, not chaotic, and the defense line is deployed in an orderly manner, and the infantry in columns are scattered, forming a huge arc, three layers before and after, the front is standing in a squatting position, the middle is standing in a standing position, and the innermost is a quiet lying gun, ready to shoot at any time.

"Command, draw your sword, charge!"

It was less than two miles away from the soldiers of Baoding Town, Zhang Zongyu couldn't suppress the agitation in his heart, roared violently, pointed forward with the big knife in his hand, and the cavalry of the Twist Army suddenly increased the speed of the war horse to the extreme, and rushed towards the baggage team of Baoding Town like lightning.

When there were still four or five hundred meters away from the cavalry of the Twist Army, the rifles of the soldiers of Baoding Town began to sound intensively, and the three rows of infantry took turns to shoot, forming a dense network of firepower to stop the advance of the Twist Army cavalry!

Directly ahead, the horses of the twisted army fell down, and the soldiers on the horses were thrown down, some of the horses were fine, but the soldiers on them had been beaten into a sieve by bullets, and the neighing of the war horses was connected with the screams of the soldiers.

Zhang Zongyu's eyes were red, this is his last bit of family background, can he not feel distressed? But for the sake of Henan's foundation, now I have to fight, rush, as long as I can rush to the front of the baggage team, the cavalry will really win in sight, and then only a thousand cavalry can clean up the Qing demon!

Seeing that the cavalry in front had begun to panic, Zhang Zongyu shouted angrily in the back: "Charge, don't stop, continue to charge, as long as you are holding on for a hundred zhang, the victory is ours!" Kill a Qing demon, and the king will reward twenty taels of silver! ”

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, twenty taels of silver, for ordinary twist bandits, it is already a lot of wealth, at least one or two years of income, the desire of the twist bandit's heart was teased by Zhang Zongyu, and began to charge forward more crazily!

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters!

It's less than a hundred meters away from the baggage team! One hundred meters, almost all the soldiers in Baoding Town can see the eyebrows and beards of the bandits!

"Hehe, it's almost, Zhang Zongyu, I'll feed you today! Brothers, pull me up the Grimm cannon and get ready to shoot! ”

Now that the Twisted Cavalry is at hand, it's time for the Grimm Cannon to exert its power.

Twenty or thirty training soldiers gathered around the Gatling heavy machine gun, four men who were extremely strong stood behind the heavy machine gun, someone specially transported bullets, and the man began to shake the crane gun!

"Sudden ......"

This is a day to remember, because this is the first time in the history of world warfare that heavy machine guns have really appeared, and before heavy machine guns only appeared at test sites, or shooting ranges, and now they are finally showing themselves on the battlefield!

With the acceleration of the shaking, almost instantly, the firing rate of the heavy machine gun increased from dozens of rounds per minute to a terrifying speed of up to four or five hundred rounds per minute!

The muzzle of the heavy machine gun spat out dazzling tongues of fire, and special metal bullets sprayed directly ahead!

The dense bullets, in an instant, knocked out a huge vacuum for the Twist cavalry in front of them! As a result, almost all the cavalry within the firing range were sent to hell! There is no kind of protection that can save the Twist cavalry from heavy machine gun fire within tens of meters! Such firepower is too fierce!
