"At that moment, my opponents were boiling, and in the time of the old Tiele, such an effect would have had only if Nicholas II personally arrived at the position. www.biquge.info But I knew that it was impossible for their emperor to come to such a dangerous place, so I fell into deep suspicion that these soldiers were excited about what the ―――――― ("The Life of the Horse?"). Parichkov's Memoirs, p159)

The impact of Zhao Guanhou and his personal sentry on the front line was not known to the Cossack cavalry at this time, they only knew that when this flag was moved forward, the arrangement of the opposite armed guards also changed. One infantry left the original line of defense and went to reinforce the other flank and assist its allies against the hussars, as if they thought the hussars were a greater threat than the Cossacks. This kind of dispatch made every Cossack cavalryman feel inexplicable anger in his heart.

No one can despise the Cossacks, even the Emperor Tiele, for whom the Cossacks have always been regarded as the best warriors, the sharpest weapons, both reused and guarded against, since these enemies think that if they repel themselves once, they can repel themselves forever, then let them see the power of the Cossacks.

The cavalrymen in the front row leaned down a little, knowing that they were about to get into range of their rifles and could be shot at any moment. But they were not afraid of death, and they could sacrifice their lives at any time if they could create an opportunity for the brothers behind them to attack.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

One of the Cossack cavalrymen turned over and fell off their horses, and the others continued to move forward without the slightest pause, and immediately, a dense burst of gunfire like splashing water echoed across the ground. Zhao Guanhou and his Mini rifle post fired a terrifying and accurate shot at the Cossack cavalry.

The marksmanship of these soldiers was trained by him, and when put into the troops, they can be regarded as sharpshooters. This rifle post, Zhao Guanhou was trained as a sniper, and it cost a lot of Mini bullets, shooting skills piled up with silver, and good psychological quality.

They are not afraid of death, and when the commander gives the order, they can fight the enemy to the death at any time. In terms of equipment, the new Mini rifle with Mini rounds is more sophisticated than the Guards of the Tierler. Although these rifles cannot be compared with the rifles used by Zhao Guanhou in his previous life, they still have an accuracy far beyond the times.

Due to the financial constraints of Tieler's troops, there were not many Minnie guns in line, and it was impossible to use them to arm the Cossacks. The Minnie guns in the Cossack units were captured only from the battlefield, and there was nowhere to supply Minnie shells. Therefore, they rarely use this kind of gun, and they lack a comprehensive understanding of its power.

In yesterday's battle, although they suffered heavy casualties under Minnie's bullets, it was more due to the speed of fire of the Minnie gun, and the huge damage caused by its shooting accuracy was not really realized until today.

With the firing of more than 100 Mini guns, the cavalry in the front row had already been killed by the whistling projectiles before the Cossack cavalry could reach the range of the carbines. The galloping horse at high speed was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground with a bang, and the knight on the horse was caught off guard and thrown straight out, and the beautiful black cloak spread out in the air like a bat spreading its wings. As the knight struggled to his feet, trying to do something, another bullet had mercilessly pierced his eye and the back of his head.

The arrows at full speed were bruised by the storm of metal, and when the rifled guns of the other infantry also began to fire, the Cossack men fell from their horses one by one, like dumplings. The Donhippopotamus wailed and fell to the ground, their owner falling beside them, not knowing who would die earlier.

In this infantry team, there were also two two-pounder infantry guns that did not participate in the artillery battle, and just after the rifle fired a salvo, the two-pounder guns had already finished loading the shotguns, and with the pull of the fire rope, the projectiles roared out, destroying everything that stood in sight.

Several shrapnel whistled through the air and fell towards the ranks of the Cossack cavalry, and explosions rang out, iron pieces and shotguns, exploding in the herd of horses. The secretary fell, a good swordsman who could fight hand-to-hand combat. The priest who accompanied the army was slashed by shrapnel in the neck, and the bleeding caused by the rupture of the major artery rose up like a fountain into the sky, and this pious priest was finally called by God.

Merekhov's iron horse was almost swept by shrapnel, and his horse was clever enough to dodge the blow, but he also realized that he had to retreat. The Minnie guns were firing too fast, and before his men could get into the hand-to-hand combat, the opponent had already completed the second round of reloading. It seems that this time there is no way to take revenge.

He raised his hand, ready to convey the order to retreat, but he didn't know that at this time, Zhao Guanhou's gun was already pointed at him.

"Removal ......"

"Bang!"

Just as Merekhov shouted the order to retreat, a stray bullet suddenly slashed through the sky and entered his left eye. The strong Merekhov, like a drunken drunken horse, shook twice, and then fell headlong.

The people around him cried out in panic, the company commander and deputy company commander, most of these officers who were promoted and appointed overnight, lacked sufficient command experience, and when they heard that Merekhov, who was like his father, had been shot, they were at a loss.

Some of them gritted their teeth, shouted revenge, and rushed to the ranks of the right army with their men, while others, having already begun to look for Merekhov, wanted to send him to the rescue, and the entire Cossack cavalry regiment fell into a brief confusion.

And the hussars on the other side, when they saw what happened to the Cossack cavalry, the commander immediately made a decision and immediately made the wisest choice. When he was about to enter the range of the rifle, there was a beautiful pre-formation turn, and the officer leading the team was perfect in controlling the formation. Forcefully led the cavalry to complete the difficult maneuver of turning in front of the enemy. Not close enough, the right army did not even shoot, and watched as the cavalry completed its turn in front of its eyes and retreated to the rear.

And the price of completing this series of difficult maneuvers was nothing more than more than fifty cavalrymen falling from their horses, causing non-combat attrition, and dozens of mounts were injured to varying degrees, compared to the Cossack disaster, they were already extremely lucky.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the Cossack cavalry regiment, the artillery of the right army began a round of concentrated fire, and all the heavy artillery was covered with a round of shrapnel shotguns.

After a burst of earth-shattering artillery fire, a large number of vacancies will once again appear among the company-platoon officers of the Fifth Cossack Cavalry Regiment, and a group of outstanding young men will be given the opportunity to be promoted before the battle. And its former regiment commander Popov was swept over the head by an iron projectile during this round of artillery fire, losing any salvage value. He was accompanied by more than thirty good and loyal old Cossack riders.

The death of these veterans and officers caused the Cossacks at the front to become blind and hesitant, their movements began to deform, their advances and retreats began to lose their order, and they raised their carbines and fired at their horses like novices who were fighting for the first time. Then he was knocked down by the right army rifle. Only a handful of men shouted and rushed into the formation with their spears raised, but then they would also fall off their horses under the fire of Minnie's guns.

This charge was catastrophic, the hussars retreated in front of the formation, and the Cossack cavalry suddenly lost most of the command level, causing the battlefield to lose control. Fleeing began to appear, and the retreating Cossacks did not flee into Andrei's troops, but took the road and did not know where to flee.

The infantry on the frontal battlefield still fired a row of guns at each other in accordance with the drill code, like a gentleman firing bullets, and then puffed up his chest when the enemy fired, and there was no winner for a while. With the defeat of the cavalry on both flanks, the battlefield of the infantry finally changed. Encouraged by the victory of the two wings, Li Xiushan suddenly raised his command knife and shouted, "Brothers, rush!" ”

The infantry of the right army lined up in formation, picked up their rifles and took the initiative to launch a white-knuckle charge, which was a miracle for the golden soldiers. As the two sides were about to hand over the blades, the infantry fired the remaining bullets from their guns, and then raised their bayonets and engaged the tall Tiele soldiers without flinching.

With sonorous bayonets and white blades, the Tiele infantry, which had always boasted of its bravery, retreated step by step under the bayonet attack of the right army. Obviously, the defeat on both flanks also affected the morale of the soldiers, and even though the Warlords brandished broadswords and slashed the retreating ones to the ground, their ranks fell backwards uncontrollably.

Andrei said hurriedly: "Lancers! Immediately plunged into the battlefield, the target ...... Kill these infantry! ”

The spear company in his hand can be regarded as an ace weapon. The soldiers came from the same aristocratic children as him, and they usually drank and gambled together, and they were extremely good friends.

Dressed in heavy armor and wielding two-and-a-half-length rifles, these men were able to knock their enemies to the ground. In their hearts, or in the troops of Tieler, it was also generally believed that such cavalry was invincible. When they start running, no force can cross in front of their eyes, no matter what is in front of them, it can be easily crushed.

But the problem is that even the best horses are too heavy to fight for a long time. It doesn't take long to run, and the horse will get tired and lose its impact. Therefore, these soldiers do not wear armor before the battle, and only when they need to charge, they will be fully dressed and put into battle.

Moreover, these noble children have extraordinary backgrounds, with the support of the family's strength, and with them, Andre's position can be stable. If something happens to these people, their families alone will not make Andrei feel better.

However, at this time, he could not take much care of it, on the one hand, he ordered the grenadier company to go to the front line as reinforcements to delay the advance of the right army of Wuwei, and on the other hand, ordered all the lancers to go out and attack the Jin soldiers.

Those grenadiers threw not the drawstring-style hand-held bullets developed by Zhao Guanhou, but the ignition bombs similar to solid balls, which needed to be thrown with both hands after igniting the fuse. In addition to the bullets left by the throwers, they are also formidable opponents when they raise their weapons to participate in the fight.

It's just that the lethality of those solid ball bombs is not high, and with the bombs being thrown one by one, the soldiers of the right army are very flexible to dodge, and then, they also untied their hands on their waists and left the bullets back in color.

The explosive power of solid bullets is not strong, generally only two or three pieces can be exploded, and the range and power cannot be compared with this new type of hand-held bullets. In the battle against the Flying Tiger Regiment, Tie Le Bing has seen the power of this kind of hand-held bullet more than once, but due to the Empire's military procurement system, this weapon cannot appear in the equipment list of the Imperial soldiers in a short period of time, and it will only be like today, so that the soldiers can feel its power on the battlefield.

Hundreds of hand-held bullets rained down on the grenadiers, shrapnel and waves of air enveloping the support force. Andrei knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered the "Lancers to suspend the attack......

However, it was too late to order.

Wearing iron helmets on their heads, heavy plate armor on their bodies, and riding tall horses, the heavy lancers armed with spears could not stop them once they began to run. When they saw this force appear, the Tiele army shouted a sound of Ulla, while the infantry on Cao Zhongkun's side wavered.

No matter who you are, you can't help but feel nervous when you see so many tin cans rushing towards you. It has been a long time since the mounted heavy cavalry appeared on the battlefield, but I didn't expect it to be taken out by the Tiele people today. Some of the soldiers nervously filled the guns with bullets, only to find that the guns had already been loaded with one shot, and the guns were scrapped, so they had to tremble and raise their rifles, and prepare their bayonets against the cavalry guns.

Cao Zhongkun was not in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do at this time, but his sentry officer Long Yangjian said loudly at this time: "Brothers, don't be afraid, raise your bayonet and rush forward." This iron fellow is still afraid of stabbing and striking their horses and beating their horses. The horses are dead, see how they get up! ”

The dust was flying, the iron hooves shook the earth, and the impact of more than 100 iron men and iron horses brought the shock as if thousands of horses were running together. If Zhao Guanhou and his infantry post had not arrived at the front line at this time, it was likely that the two battalions of Cao and Li would have collapsed first before they could meet the enemy.

Seeing his banner, the soldiers gradually calmed down, and Zhao Guanhou raised his rifle and said as if instructing: "Don't panic, everyone, hit their horses!" ”

On both sides of the position, gunfire rang out almost simultaneously, and one of the lancers' horses was shot, and the horse fell violently, and the unlucky knight was pressed by his own horse, and he pumped desperately outward. But the comrades behind him had already rushed over, and the knight raised his head, wanting to remind his comrades to bypass, but what he saw was indeed a huge horse's hoof, constantly magnifying and magnifying in front of his eyes......

And beside Zhao Guanhou, the body of the flag soldier shook for a while, and blood flowers appeared on his chest. This shot was almost on Zhao Guanhou. Huo Qiu hurriedly said: "Biaotong, you retreat quickly, they also have a Mini gun over there!" ”

"I know, but my position is here, my troops are here, and I'm not going anywhere. Who's going to hold the flag! ”

A young soldier rushed out and caught the banner, and the military musicians beat the snare drum, and the rifle and hand were retained, and threw them at the onrushing iron horse, and in the rear, the god of war, roared again. It was at this time that Sun Meiyao and her cavalry arrived at the battlefield. But instead of rushing at the lancers with her light cavalry, she swept away with a sword and the cuirassier battalion around Andrei and him. (To be continued.) )
