As the commanders of these dragoons waved their flags suddenly. A short trumpet sounded throughout the position. The officers and soldiers in the front row put the muskets in their hands flat, and the sergeants squinted one eye, calmly put the surging cavalry on the opposite side into the crosshairs, and quietly waited for the order to shoot.

The horses' hooves were churning, and the earth, which had snowed only a few days before, was trampled into muddy mud by countless pairs of galloping iron horses. Thousands of horses' hooves pounded on the ground, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly. The large-scale cavalry assault in the era of cold weapons alone is absolutely sweeping the world!

It's a pity that they encountered an army from the age of hot weapons! (See the battle in which the Monk Grinchen led the cavalry to assault the Anglo-French army.) ）

When these old battalion soldiers rushed into the range of the Ferguson muskets, a sharp whistle sounded, which was the command signal to fire!

"Bang bang bang ~~~" The sound of hundreds of muskets firing at the same time is so dense that it is impossible to distinguish a single shooting sound, and the only thing that can be heard is a huge and dense roar!

Buckshot, propelled by gunpowder, swirled along the precision rifling drawn out of a modern lathe, rushed out of the muzzle. Tearing through the air faster than sound, flying hundreds of meters before slamming into anything that dared to stand in their way.

The body of a man, the body of a war horse. Whether he was wearing armor or not, he wore several layers of clothing. (How strong the muscles are, how hard the bones are!) In the face of this kind of speed and unparalleled power, all of them have the same fate.

Almost at the same time, the bravest and most frantic old battalion soldiers who rushed to the front were like raging waves crashing into a huge and strong. The entire charging queue has lost one layer of brushing!

The men and horses who had been hit by the buckshot fell to the ground, and before the howl could be heard, they were trampled into puddles of flesh by the huge hooves of the cavalry who quickly followed!

The dragoons, who had finished shooting in the front row, turned and walked back, and the sergeants in the second row quickly filled their positions. Raise the gun, aim, pull the trigger! Another musket shot also took away a group of brave bandits.

The wind is not small today. The smoke from the muzzle shot was quickly blown away. But the muskets fired at too much speed and too intensively. Heavy smoke still enveloped the entire position. A vast white expanse of dragoon positions like a dense fog flashed with dense flames in a very fast rhythm!

Well-trained armies mechanically repeat their tactical moves. Waves of dense musket fire blocked the surging tide of cavalry at a distance of several hundred meters from the blocking position. Layers of corpses quickly accumulated, and the warm blood water gathered into a stream, dyeing all the surrounding snow a shocking bright red!

"Go !!"

Li Guo turned his horse's head around with all his might, ran towards the other side of the river, and shouted loudly to his henchmen.

This battle can't be fought. The muskets of these officers and soldiers were incessant, as if there was no end at all. Deadly marbles poured down like a frenzy. More than 2,000 cavalrymen can't even do it closely! It's completely being used as a target!

"It's hopeless." Li Guo immediately understood that the military horses on this side of the river bank were not saved. What awaits them is either death or surrender. Judging by the evil deeds they have done over the years, even if they surrender, there is almost no chance of survival. He Li Guo, as the nephew of King Chuang, said that he couldn't fold here!

Only a few people saw Li Guo fleeing in front of the battle. Similarly, only a small number of clever guys followed Li Guoben and escaped across the river. As for the centaurs in front. Now even if you want to quit, you can't retreat!

Riding on a high-speed warhorse, surrounded by a dense crowd. I can't even walk if I want to!

The more than 2,000 cavalry that launched the charge were routed in a very short time. Except for a small number of cavalry on the periphery of the two sides, they were able to turn their horses around and flee towards the hills and frozen rivers on both sides. Most of the rest of the cavalry have become the corpses in the center of the battlefield, layer after layer, which have lost their vitality!

Corpses all over the ground, endless blood. There were also the few wounded soldiers who still had a breath left, wailing and screaming, and a few lonely horses standing beside their masters and wailing. The entire battlefield was as terrifying as Shura's hell.

The dragoons, who had finished the battle, packed their outfits and turned on their horses. Dragoons, originally infantry fighting on horseback.

The elite night warriors galloped out of the ranks on both sides of the queue with their crotch horses, chasing the peasant army who had fled to the hill and had been stimulated by the huge blow. And the main force of the Chinese army, after reorganizing the queue, advanced towards the frontal ferry.

The old battalion soldiers left more than 2,000 corpses on the battlefield. Most of them were killed by firearms, and the rest were trampled to death by war horses.

Without mercy, the dragoons drew their swords and slaughtered the wounded soldiers they encountered one by one. These people are so badly injured in this weather that it is impossible for them to survive. Death. For them, perhaps, it was more of a relief

More than 700 cavalry galloped on the official road south of Datong Mansion. Many people carry two or even three horses, and large and small coats are placed on the back of the horses. Even in this cold weather, the horses are still sweating profusely under the fast gallop, and the people are not easy.

Until a horse can't carry it. Foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground and convulsing. The cavalry stopped. The horses were fed with water and food, and then the cavalrymen chewed on cold dry rations like wax.

"Fuck." Li Guo wiped his forehead vigorously and shook out the beads of sweat on his hand. Still frightened, he said, "Where did these officers and soldiers come from?" A few years ago, if there had been such an officer and army. Where will we live?! ”

The terrifying musket rounds of the dragoons completely shattered the morale of these old battalion soldiers. These horses on the other side of the river bank didn't dare to stop at all, and ran wildly all the way to Taiyuan. Even Li Guo chased after them for a long time before catching up with these people.

It's just that it's not just Li Guo who has caught up, but also the fierce dragoons!

For an afternoon, the dragoons were biting at the cavalry like maggots on tarsal bones. The roar of the soul-chasing muskets almost never stopped. One by one, the old battalion soldiers fell on the snow. At this moment, when the sun was setting in the west, the 5,000 old battalion soldiers brought out by Li Guo when he left Datong Mansion were only more than 700 people left.

Today's battle greatly shocked Li Guo. He had never seen such a powerful army. Even the iron cavalry under King Cao Yan back then did not have such terrifying combat power. In other words, there is no comparison at all.

Those old battalion soldiers and horses who were attached to the core by the peasant army were wantonly slaughtered in front of these officers and soldiers like babies who had no power to fight back!

At this time, these old battalion soldiers have all become frightened birds, and the slightest strange noise will make them tremble, for fear that the muskets of the officers and soldiers are shooting again! Because every time the roar of muskets is fired, it takes their lives!

"The horses of these officers and soldiers are better than ours, and they can run in front of us to ambush them all the way." A henchman with a sallow face and a full beard put down the water bladder in his hand and said with a look of fear on his face.

Li Guo waved his hand, and said in a deep voice with complicated eyes, "They have defeated 100,000 Jianjiao outside the pass, and there are many good horses collected in the bitter cold land outside the pass. It's normal to run faster than us. ”

After a pause, he continued, "These officers and soldiers have sharp firearms and decisive fighting intentions, which are very difficult to deal with. ”

"These officers and soldiers don't even want money, what are they trying to eat food as soldiers?!" The henchman asked reluctantly.

was pursued when he fled before, and Li Guo's subordinates also used the invincible trick of getting rid of the pursuit of the official army in the past, throwing the yellow and white things they carried with them to the ground to block the official army.

However, those officers and soldiers were like blind, they didn't even look at them, they all chased them like mad dogs! I've never seen a soldier like this!

"Hurry up, we can't stay here any longer. Those officers and soldiers bite like mad dogs, and if they catch up, it will be troublesome. Li Guo hurriedly swallowed a piece of hard dry food and water in his stomach, put away the kettle and said in a deep voice.

The old battalion soldiers, who had been running for a long time, were already sleepy at this time. When I ran for my life before, I said that I supported myself with a survival **. But now it is not easy to settle down, and there is no ambush of those officers and soldiers in all directions. At this moment, these veteran battalion soldiers felt that it was extremely difficult for them to move their fingers.

Li Guo looked at his subordinates who didn't move, and scolded in a low voice with a gloomy face, "Are you fucking tired and crooked?!" Waiting to die here? Now that it's getting dark, why don't you find a county town or village to rest and recuperate, do you still want to spend the night in this wilderness?! ”

Spending the night in the wild isn't a big deal either. It's just that you have to see what season it is. It's the coldest time of the year, freezing at minus tens of degrees. If you spend the night in the wilderness, how many people will have to freeze to death by dawn?!

Of course, these old battalion soldiers understand this truth, but they are too tired. It didn't take long to set off in the morning and we arrived at the river. When he crossed the river cautiously, he was caught up by the officers and soldiers, and after a tragic fight, it was a long way to escape.

Don't look at the number of horses in one person now, but most of these are the horses that they led those who died in battle! I don't know how many horses have died of exhaustion along the way! The officers and soldiers were chasing too closely.

Not only the horses, but also the officers and soldiers who used the new muskets made people feel desperate. All the weapons in the hands of the old battalion soldiers were useless in front of those officers and soldiers. Even if you are not afraid of death, even if you are excellent in martial arts. But against a small buckshot, there is only one way to die! (To be continued......) R1292
