Snowflakes obscured the vision, and the visibility was not even five hundred meters, and five or six hundred meters away, there could only be a gray shadow.

This is actually calculated, the snow is not very big, if it is a real blizzard, it is difficult to see from a hundred meters away.

Although the Russian army came from due east, to the north of Vilneburg, there was a vast plain, which meant that the Russian cavalry could be killed from the north or even the west, so the 50,000 people of the Democratic Alliance formed the most secure circle.

As for the fortifications or something, it was not done at all, the soil was frozen and hard erected, and it couldn't be dug up!

Li Erhu was on the side facing the east, holding a telescope to look, although he was the same as the Russian army in Vilneburg, he could only see the gray background, but he didn't dare to relax, if it was normal weather, even if ten times the cavalry rushed in, there would be no pressure, but now it was snowing, and the snowflakes obscured the vision.

Beside him, a small patch of snow had been cleared, the yellow turf had been removed, and several warriors lay on the swarthy ground, listening closely, which was the most primitive and effective way to judge the arrival of the cavalry.

"Commander Li, there's movement! The enemy is still about six or seven kilometers away from us! One of the fighters suddenly turned his head and shouted.

"Good! Keep listening! Li Erhu waved his hand, and in the telescope, the color of the back seemed to have deepened, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and he was moving quickly towards himself.

"Commander Li, it's closer, about five kilometers or so! The enemy is in a skirmish! ”

In fact, there was no need to remind him, Li Erhu could already feel that the ground under his feet was trembling slightly. There was a strange roar in the air, although his chances against the cavalry were extremely limited. He had never encountered the scene of forty or fifty thousand cavalry galloping together, but it did not prevent him from concluding that this was the sound of cavalry running.

"Commander Li, do you want to open fire?" A staff officer asked.

In Li Erhu's army, there were about 200 122-mm guns and small mountain guns, all of which were concentrated in the center of the formation, which could hit the enemy in any direction within a minute or two, and in front of the formation were ordinary soldiers and mortars. It forms a circle of about two kilometers in circumference, and the perimeter is surrounded by vehicles, just like the ancient march and battle. The chariot formation was the most effective means of resisting the onslaught of cavalry.

Two hundred cannons fired at once, and if the landing point was not too concentrated, Li Erhu believed that at least 1,000 people could be killed. Relative to forty or fifty thousand invading enemies. This was already enough, he almost gave the order to open fire, but he forcibly held back.

He was worried that the artillery fire would be too heavy and would scare the invading cavalry away, but there was no way, in the vast snowfield, the probability of surviving on horseback was significantly greater than walking, and only the cavalry was close enough to turn around. It is possible to annihilate as much as possible.

"No hurry!" Li Erhu waved his hand to stop it.

At this time, there is no need to lie on the ground. You can feel that the cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers in the outer circle are leaning on the vehicles, holding guns, with calm faces, and behind them are mortar men, waiting for Li Erhu to give the order to counterattack.

In the training of the Democratic Alliance Army, there was a very cruel thing, that is, the soldiers were tied to the pillars in a formation two meters apart from the front and back, and the left and right sides were tied, and the cavalry was allowed to attack, and they were not allowed to close their eyes.

Although he knew that the horse was unlikely to collide with him, the horse's hooves flew and came with billowing smoke and dust, and for the sake of realism, the warriors on the horse would also wave their swords and shout to kill when they approached, and the snow light of the sword accompanied by the sound of rumbling hooves swept by.

You must know that when people face the danger of high-speed attacks, they will instinctively tremble and dodge desperately, and Wang Feng uses this method to train soldiers to temper their iron will, overcome fear, and then overcome their own instincts.

There are quite a few recruits, even including veterans of the Taiping Army and the Qing Army, who have blood on their hands, and after the first few cavalry rush past them, some vomit, some are paralyzed, and some pee their pants, and some are directly frightened, if they are not tied to a pillar, many will run away directly regardless of the military order.

This is a great mental devastation, but every training is also a challenge to oneself, and the will grows rapidly in the training, until it is not tied to a pillar and does not change its face in the face of the impact of the cavalry.

Every soldier of the Democratic Alliance Army came over like this, the cruelty is a little cruel, and the benefits are obvious, in the face of the enemy cavalry hidden in the snowflakes, no one will be afraid to worry.

Generally speaking, five or six kilometers apart is the best distance to open artillery, and when the Central Asian cavalry rushed to this distance, they all raised their hearts and livers to their throats, but the sound of artillery did not sound, which not only surprised them, but also brought them luck.

"Brothers, while the Chinese army has not found out, rush over, hurry, hurry!" Jin Xiangyin brandished his saber and screamed, regardless of whether others could hear it in the wind.

In fact, there was no need for him to greet them, and everyone knew that this was the best time to assault the Democratic Alliance forces, although they did not know the situation ahead, but it did not prevent them from pushing the horse speed to the maximum, and it seemed that even the tired and hungry fatigue was thrown aside.

All of a sudden, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the earth roared, the sabers circled and waved, and many people stretched out their bows and arrows, and set up their frames.

The main combat weapons of the Central Asian cavalry are still sabers and bows and arrows, for cavalry, bows and arrows are much better than muskets, a skilled rider, bows and arrows can be fired in bursts, and after shooting, no one has the ability to load bullets on horseback, and even some old cavalry, can also make difficult actions such as kicking arrows and even turning back to shoot.

This alone is much better than the Eight Banners and the vast majority of the Mongolian cavalry, and the comfortable life has long made Manmeng abandon the art industry of his ancestors.

In the snowflakes, the gray shadows became darker and darker, and the tremors of the earth became more and more intense, all indicating that the enemy cavalry was coming.

"It's out!" It was as if 500 meters was the junction of two worlds, and as long as the cavalry entered the distance of 500 meters, it would immediately appear from another world, and its eyes were full of cavalry rushing at a rapid pace, boundless.

"Bang!" Li Erhu pulled the trigger.

"Knock knock~~" dense black dots in the air, the rear of the carriage is also an instant gunshot, this does not need to aim, there are too many enemies, fire can always hit, the barrage is intertwined into a big net, harvesting a puff of life.

When the five rounds were finished, the front ones were reloaded backwards, and the rear ones were filled, and the mortar shells also rained down on the ground, and suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, and many horses and knights were torn to pieces on the spot and thrown into the air.

"Bang Bang~~" The artillery located in the center of the formation began to shoot indiscriminately, the target was located at a distance of two to four kilometers, the heavy snow could not hide the strong light of the explosion, and behind the cavalry, there were faint clusters of fire flashing, and some small black spots were blown away.

Standing on Vilneburg, although the vision was still a little blurry, the firelight like a fireflower could barely be seen, which made everyone gasp.

"Your Excellency Colonel, should we go out of the fort to attack the Chinese army?" A staff officer asked, confused.

"Shut up! Didn't see the firepower of the Chinese army? What's the use of a few thousand people going out? Stand by for help, and no one is allowed to leave half a step without my orders. Werfkin glared at him in exasperation.

This glance has made many people put their hearts at ease, the most intuitive to look at condescendingly, the firelight keeps flickering in an area, the firepower of the Chinese army is too dense, and at the same time, they can't help but secretly worry that if they want to survive, they can only hope that reinforcements will break through the Chinese defense line.

The snowy weather can indeed hide the whereabouts of the cavalry and shorten the reaction time of the Chinese army, although the Chinese firepower is intensive, but the speed of the cavalry is very fast, and a considerable part of them actually break through the barrage, close to the range of nearly 100 meters, throw arrows into the sky, and then pick up the arrows, and shoot again.

"Dong Dong ~~" The thick arrow was nailed to the wall of the box, the tail feathers trembled slightly, and some of them hit the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance, bringing out a rain of blood, which made the already desperate mood of the Central Asian knights show a trace of excitement, and the mouth is even more noisy, dozens of meters, as long as you rush over, you can enjoy the refreshing feeling of lifting the knife and cutting off the heads.

In the momentum of no return, even if you are shot, it seems that it doesn't matter.

But mixed with the rain of bullets, small black dots were thrown out of the back of the carriage, which made everyone's hearts tremble, grenades have been around for so many years, who can not know?

It was obviously too late to dodge, so he could only watch the grenade explode in front of him, or on his side, and pieces of shrapnel shot into his body, blood sprayed wildly, and the pain was unbearable, and his strength faded quickly, until he could no longer sit on the horse steadily, and fell heavily to the ground, and some people could still see the horse's hooves behind him slam on themselves, or the huge body of the war horse smashed on themselves.

There are also some people who were not hit by shrapnel or bullets, but were stained by the burning oil block, this oil block, with the explosion of the grenade, like a fire tree blooming, did not dodge, burned on the body quickly ignited the fur clothes, the whole person was shrouded in fire in an instant, even people and horses, rolling on the ground and struggling and wailing.

And the strange thing is that this fire can't be extinguished even if it rolls in the snow.

That's right, the Democratic Alliance Army mixed napalm grenades with ordinary grenades, threw them out one by one, and soon blew up a wall of fire dozens of meters away, inside the wall of fire, countless shadows were rolling, and some people ran screaming and screaming all over their bodies, and a unique burnt smell of barbecue gradually dispersed.

Anyone who is a soldier actually has a full understanding of death, and when he really wants to die, even if he is blown into pieces by a cannonball, he can accept it, it is a quick death, and there is no pain in death.

How long does it take for a person to be burned to death? I'm afraid no one has specifically counted this problem, but it is not a problem to hold on to five to ten minutes in the fire, as the napalm grenade continues to be thrown, the fire is getting stronger and stronger, and the burnt smell is getting stronger and stronger, but for the hungry Central Asian cavalry, not only did not feel the appetite, but was horrified.
