The location of the Moglon tribe is located in a foothill area of the Mogoyong Mountains, although the altitude is higher, but the terrain is relatively flat, and has a water source, and at the same time will not be harassed by people or animals below the mountain, especially when anyone wants to deal with the Moglon tribe, they need to climb up from the bare mountain, easy to be spotted by the Moglon people.

This, of course, also caused some trouble for the cavalry battalion's attack, which, after approaching the Moglon tribe, had to make the decision to dismount and fight, and they gathered their horses in one place and climbed from the foot of the hill to the slope of the hill under the cover of night. The cavalrymen were also trained by the infantry, and they were often trained in this kind of stealth attack.
Although the cavalry's carbines were shorter, they were no different from the infantry, they were semi-automatic weapons, which could exert good firepower, and more importantly, the cavalry carried several 60mm mortars.
The battalion commander was worried that if he had shelled it first, he might blow up the nest, and a group of Apache people would run around and let some go. However, after thinking about it, I still think that even if I run away from one or two, it doesn't matter much, and the survival ability of the Indians who lose their tribe to survive in the wilderness will be quite poor. Moreover, after the shelling, the Apaches, who ran out of the village, became the best targets for the soldiers' bullets. After losing the impact of the war horse, the battalion commander still hoped to use a more secure way, not necessarily rushing into their village to kill them.
Even the Mogrons had lit a bonfire in the village, but they couldn't really see it enough from hundreds of meters away. Although the cavalry soldiers of the Tang Army did not carry out any camouflage, and their faces were not smeared with camouflage camouflage. And even due to the peculiarities of the cavalry. In the case of the infantry and armored corps of the Tang Army generally changing into camouflage uniforms. The cavalry still adheres to the principle of "being stylish is king", and uses a solid color military uniform with a certain aristocratic style, riding boots and riding pants, so it looks crazy and cool. As a result, within the army, the cavalry has the highest success rate in solving personal problems and finding a partner.
Of course, at this time, the night is the best disguise, and the attack they chose was actually the idea of Esquart's before, attacking at night.
After the four 60mm mortars were placed. The battalion commander gave the order, and with the characteristic sound of mortars, four small cannons began to fire shells at the Moglon village. The artillery of the cavalry battalion also had a hard time giving their shells better accuracy in the dark, but they chose those longhouses and tents, which had little meaning in killing people, mainly to frighten the Mogrolons.
But in reality, these mortar shells that use fragmentation to kill will burst out a large amount of fragments after hitting the target, and the impact force can easily tear through the old shelters of the Mogrolons, and the fragments will fly at the completely unconscious, sleeping people. Fought beyond recognition.
The artillerymen did not need to give any instructions, and a single shell was fired. Immediately reloaded into the next shell, the four mortars, although the caliber is not large and the power is average, but for a tribe of Apache people of less than a thousand people, it is already an extremely terrible attack.
The Mogrolons, who had never been bombarded, jumped up from the ground in panic and ran outside without putting on a simple garment, perhaps hoping to avoid danger, perhaps to see who was attacking them. But when people are in a state of panic, they are often confused, and the men don't even pick up the muskets they have just taken from the White Mountain people, just to run for their lives, pulling their wives and children out in a frenzy.
But in fact, there is no difference between inside and outside the house, and being hit is also a death. Even if there were not a few pieces of iron inserted into the body immediately, the pain was indescribable.
Ecincha reacted immediately, he was originally very tired tonight, and the Baishan woman he caught, he chose the two with the biggest breasts and the most cocked buttocks, and vented his energy well, and felt an unusual sense of accomplishment. But he hadn't slept for long, when suddenly there was a loud noise, and the wooden wall of the longhouse next to him was actually broken, and the woman who was lying asleep next to him actually died covered in blood. This frightened Escincha, who immediately grabbed his musket, the weapon he had taken from Esquat, and jumped out of the house.
He saw no enemies, only people who were scaring around. Then there were explosions that rang out from time to time, as well as tents and houses that were set ablaze by the explosions, and the flames began to spread.
"Tang people, only Tang people have such weapons!" Essinca had not seen the artillery of the Don Army, but he had heard about it. He didn't expect that he hadn't come into contact with the Tang people, and he was actually called by the Tang people.
He has always been cunning and shrewd, but at this moment, he was so anxious that tears fell.
"Bastard, I don't want to fight with the Tang people, I don't want to fight with the Tang people! Why did the Don come to beat us?! Quick, you, rush out and tell the Don that we have killed the Esquat they hate, and that we Moglon are friends with the Don! ”
The clansmen who were caught by him were also panicked, and said, "But chief, I don't know the language of the Tang people!" ”
Escincha didn't care about this, and kicked him out: "If you are told to go, you will go, go quickly!" ”
The cowardly fellow could not disobey the chieftain, and walked a few steps out of the village in a panic, and then only a few steps, when suddenly he fell - a bullet passed through his chest and took his life.
The Tang soldiers had already begun to shoot the Mogrons running around, and the firelight provided them with assistance, allowing them to see and shoot clearly. Not to mention approaching the soldiers of the Tang Army, even if you stand there, you will be hit by their bullets.
Escincha was startled and even collapsed to the ground, he was already in despair, and muttered a few syllables in his mouth: "It's over...... It's all over ......."
The attack did not last long, and the four mortars poured about sixty or seventy shells, and the soldiers crawled there firing non-stop, knocking down dozens or hundreds of Mogrolons. Eventually, the battalion commander ordered the finishing touches to be carried out, and the soldiers rushed into the village to deliver the final blow to the remaining Mogrolons.
Li Kangfu took the lead in the village, and in front of him was the already somewhat stupid chieftain Moglon. He didn't know that the almost naked creature was the chief of Mogrolon, but with a swing of his saber, he chopped off his head. (To be continued.) )
