A mistake, a complete mistake!

According to the scout's report, Morton thought that the federal army in front of him was only two or three thousand people, so he didn't take the federal army in his eyes, how could he have thought that this was Chen Hai's arrogant plan at all? At least more than half of the troops were all hiding in the trenches, and the scouts didn't see it at all!

He didn't expect that this was not an ordinary federal army, but a new army built by Guo Ye's training army as the backbone, the so-called soldiers are beary, and they will be in a nest, this group of people under Guo Ye, pick out one at random, no worse than the low-level officers of the federal army, as for Chen Hai, as the first henchman under Guo Ye, he is even more resourceful, where can ordinary federal troops compare!

A regiment of cavalry launched a charge towards the second brigade, the second brigade on the earthen ramparts, constantly carrying out crazy shooting, the three earthen ramparts took turns to shoot on the time of the jam, there was no break at all, waves of bullets rain rushed head-on, the cavalry was taken by surprise, where is the firepower that two thousand troops can have, even four or five thousand people can't do it!

The rangers of the fourth regiment were stunned at once, the fire was too fierce, even without artillery assistance, such dense rifle fire, it was by no means easy for a regiment to rush over, in less than ten minutes, the fourth cavalry regiment had already paid two or three hundred casualties, and the charge of the rangers was fiercely contained.

In the distance, Moulton's heart sank fiercely, I was careless, I didn't expect that the firepower of the Federation army in front of me was so fast! Where is such firepower or the firepower that more than 2,000 people should have? Even 6,000 people may not be able to be so powerful!

Morton clearly saw that the Union army on the opposite side was leaning on three earthen walls, shooting in turns, this kind of tactics had never been seen before. Platoon firing at the armies of Europe. But it's quite different. Compared with the platoon of the European army, the platoon shooting is more neat and more intense, the soldiers on the three earthen walls do not interfere with each other, and they do not have to worry about the brothers behind hitting their heads, the height difference of half a meter makes these soldiers do not need to change their shooting posture at all, saving a lot of time, so that the rifle shooting is more intensive!

want to break through such a tight fire blockade. The price to be paid is definitely not small!

At this time, the 4th Cavalry Regiment had already retreated, and from the charge to the retreat, the 4th Cavalry Regiment held out for almost twenty minutes, and in twenty minutes, there were more than four hundred dead and wounded! Definitely a huge loss!

Morton gritted his teeth with hatred, but he knew very well in his heart that although the federal army in front of him did not have artillery to help, it was definitely a super hard bone!

"General. They didn't have artillery, but they did have a large number of Congreve rockets. The threat to our cavalry is no small either! Moreover, you see that their battle line stretches out for two miles, and it is surrounded by budding rice fields, and it is unlikely that even if you want to make a detour......"

No need for Conlfin to say, Morton also knows in his heart that the large area of bud rice on both sides is almost one person high, dense, and the cavalry wants to pass quickly, it is impossible at all, the commander of this federal army is definitely deliberately choosing this place to block ah, he can only launch an impact from the front, and he wants to rush over from the bud rice field on both sides, it is basically impossible, the cavalry entered the bud rice field, the speed is not as good as the infantry, once the federal army behind the bud rice field rushes up, start the artillery carried, Then the cavalry should not think of leaving alive!

"Order, the fifth regiment immediately assembles to replace the fourth regiment, and launches another attack on the federal army position in front, and hits hard, I don't believe that our thousands of cavalry can't break through this line of defense!"

Morton gritted his teeth and shouted.

The 5th Regiment quickly assembled under the orders of Moulton and, under the leadership of the regimental commander Grinin, once again launched a new round of charge against the officers and men of the 2nd Brigade!

Sun Jiawang, the commander of the Second Brigade, said urgently: "Chief of Staff, the other side's cavalry has rushed up, should we launch a rocket attack again?" ”

Chen Hai frowned, shook his head, and replied: "No, we only have more than 100 rockets, and we have already used 30 rounds before, and the more tragic fierce battle is still waiting for us, we can't use all the rockets, order, put the cavalry into the fight!" It's still three earthen ramparts that shoot in turn, suppressing the opponent's attack with rifle fire! ”

Sun Jiawang's heart sank, and he nodded hurriedly, without the help of rockets, he wanted to withstand the impact of other cavalry, but it was not so easy.

However, if you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry elm.

Chen Hai did not use Congreve rockets, lacking the threat of rockets, and the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, under the leadership of Grining, actually launched a direct charge towards the position of the federal army in a dense formation!

The anxious Grinin believes that the dense formation can quickly approach the opponent's position with its impact force, as long as it successfully approaches the opponent's position, with such a dense formation, the first earthen fortress defense line can be broken down in an instant, and even the next two earthen fortresses are not a problem, after all, they cannot build the earthen fortress extremely strong in a short time!

Thousands of cavalry rushed towards the position of the federal army in a dense formation, but it was obvious that Grinin underestimated the strength of the second brigade here, and the three earthen fortresses took turns to shoot, and the thousand troops did not reach the earthen fortresses, forming three strong firepower networks, blocking the front of the battlefield from wind and rain, and groups of war horses let out a terrible neigh, and the cavalry in front was punched a hole by the dense bullets in a very short time!

The cavalry in front was so frightened that the souls of the dead were rising, and the opponent's firepower was too fierce, and the fierceness was indescribable!

Of course, the soldiers of the Federal Army are also getting more and more excited, and they are equipped with all the same backyard filled imitation Mauser rifles, whose magazines can support five bullets in bursts, forming a rapid shot, plus three earthen ramparts to shoot in turn, such firepower can be said to cover the world, even if the shooting level of these Federal Army is not high, they can't help but charge intensively now, almost the Federal Army will not shoot empty with their eyes closed!

The hapless Fifth Cavalry Regiment is once again ushering in a head-on drink!

"General Moulton!"

The regiment commander Kang Lifen ran over panting, and said hurriedly: "Their firepower is too fierce, where is this special 2,000 troops, if you want me to see, 6,000 troops are more than that, such dense firepower, how can the cavalry rush over?" ”

Morton glared at Conliferator fiercely and scolded, "Isn't it your scout waste? How the hell did they scout? It is an unforgivable mistake to be able to make such a big mistake, this is an unforgivable mistake! ”
