Chapter 268: Heavy Cavalry Attack!

"Bang bang bang" When some Xianbei soldiers finally passed through the artillery fire blockade net, they found that they were greeted by muskets and improvised grenades in the hands of the soldiers of the Xiang army. If you are farther away, you can use a musket, and if you are closer, you can throw a grenade at it.

This forms a fire blockade network from far and near, forming an impregnable defense. Even though the Xianbei people paid huge casualties, they were still unable to break through the Jin army's defenses.

Compared with the strong firepower of the Xiang army, the firepower of the Xianbei people is much weaker. But even so, the Xianbei people are still fearless of the Jin army's defense line.

"Rush! Kill those damn Han dogs and let them know how good we are Xianbei people! ”

The cavalry of the Xianbei people was very brave, braving the rain of bullets and bullets of the Jin army, charging regardless of casualties. On the entire Jin army's defense line, although there were artillery troops in full support, there were still many who rushed to a place less than 100 meters away from the Jin army's defense line. was only beaten back by a burst of grenades by the Xiang army at the last moment, and even then it was dangerous.

"Order: All divisions will continue to maintain frontal pressure on the enemy, so that the cavalry units are ready to break through the enemy's left flank at the right time. At that time, after the Xianbei people's defense line was in chaos, the whole army immediately took the opportunity to rush and kill, so victory was within reach! Tao Kan keenly found that the enemy offensive on the right flank had loosened, indicating that this part of the enemy army had reached the limit, and then the Jin army could tear through the enemy's defense line with a single charge.

"Obey!" Joining the army immediately turned around and arranged.

The main force of the attack was almost entirely composed of people from the Murong tribe, and they had already launched several charges. But except for throwing down the corpses on the ground, no results were achieved, which made Murong Diao tremble in distress!

The light cavalry of the Jin Army, under the leadership of the officers, immediately joined the attack on the enemy's left flank. Originally, this part of the enemy army was about to collapse, but at this time, it was suddenly attacked violently, and it suddenly became chaotic. Many Xianbei people actually began to turn their horses' heads and run backwards, which had never happened before. The retreat of the Xianbei people made the Jin cavalry burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

"Order a part of the artillery to fully support the operation on the enemy's left flank!" Tao Kan saw that his plan had worked, and quickly issued the latest combat order.

After receiving the commander's order. Part of the artillery quickly adjusted its muzzle. After a cup of tea, thirty artillery pieces quickly launched a concentrated attack on the enemy's left flank, and suddenly, a large number of shells instantly smashed into the enemy on the left flank. Blow up the other party to the point of dizziness. In the face of such huge casualties. The Xianbei people, who were not afraid of death, finally began to retreat. And the Jin cavalry took the opportunity to launch a new wave of offensives.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Murong Diao couldn't help but curse with hatred, and seeing that the Jin cavalry was about to break through his left flank, he couldn't help but shout: "Attack!" Offensive! Be sure to break through the positions of the Jin army! ”

Although he knew that his headquarters suffered heavy casualties, by this time the warring parties had long since run out of options. Unless one side falls. Now it's up to him who breaks through the opponent's defense first, so he will not hesitate to pay the price. After Murong Diao saw that the Jin army was attacking his left flank, the previous firepower was weakened a lot, and he immediately asked the Xianbei people to seize the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

On the grassland, the sound of guns and cannons rang out, and the Xiang army and tens of thousands of Xianbei people fought fiercely here. Judging from the current situation, although the pressure of the Jin army is still very great, it can still block the attack of the Xianbei people to the death. On the other hand, the Xianbei people have not made the slightest progress in the face of the strong firepower of the Xiang army as time goes by.

"My lord, the pressure on Murong Diao is getting bigger and bigger, you see, he has put the last reserve on the battlefield as well. Do you want to send out the last reserve in our hands? After discovering the latest movements of the enemy through the binoculars, he immediately asked Tao Kan for instructions.

Don't look at the firepower of the Jin army is still fierce, but firearms rely heavily on logistics, and in fact, the Jin army has reached the end of its strong crossbow. If the Xianbei people still did not collapse after half an hour, then the collapse should be the Jin army. Therefore, taking advantage of the local superiority of the Jin army, if it can take the opportunity to break through the enemy's left flank defense line in one fell swoop, and then defeat the enemy, it is the best choice.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, the Han people will not be able to hold on, as long as they hold on any longer, the Jin army will collapse!" Although the casualties were huge, Murong Diao was still gritting his teeth and insisting, as long as he could defeat the Jin army in front of him, no matter how big the casualties were, it would be worth it.

"Seven difficult buildings, let the last 3,000 people go up too! Don't stay in the reserves, start attacking with all your might! In addition, tell the little cubs below that if anyone dares to cheat and play tricks, he will never let him go! Murong Diao said ruthlessly.

This time, the Murong tribe and the Jin army launched a decisive battle, which can be said to have lost their old capital, even if they won in the end, it was not just a reprieve. The loss of one or two thousand people by the Jin army is nothing, but if the Murong tribe loses tens of thousands of people in this battle, I am afraid it will be broken.

Subsequently, the Xianbei people attacked with all their strength again, and all the Xianbei soldiers launched a fierce attack, and the pressure on the first-line soldiers immediately increased. Although the strong firepower still brought great casualties to the Xianbei people, the attacks of the Xianbei people became more and more fierce, even if the front of the Xiangjun position was already full of corpses of the Xianbei people, it still could not frighten the other party.

"Order: Heavy cavalry attack, attack the enemy troops on the left flank, and try to defeat them first!" Tao Kan also sensed the crisis on the battlefield and immediately made new arrangements.

"Brothers, it's up to us next, get ready to attack!" Commander Li Xia received the order to immediately attack the whole army, and they had been watching from the side for a long time as a secret weapon. In order to block the attack of tens of thousands of Xianbei soldiers, the Xiang army has paid huge casualties. Now it was finally their turn, and the three thousand heavy cavalry, who had long been enthusiastic, howled and rushed towards the left flank of Xianbei.

"Invincible heavy cavalry, assault!"

After the order was given, there was no slogan of killing, and there was no neat shouting of killing, all the soldiers of the heavy cavalry army were silent, and the cold light shot out from the heavy helmet mask indicated that a massacre was about to begin.

Under the leadership of Commander Li Xia, the three thousand heavy cavalry troops lined up in three rows and slowly increased their speed, and it didn't take long for them to reach the fastest speed. And the most rare thing is that even in such a rapid gallop, the heavy cavalry can still maintain a neat phalanx.

Running so wildly, especially the heavy cavalry army with men and horses armed to the teeth with armor, marched forward like rolling waves. The ground shook violently, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening! In the face of the sudden change, those Xianbei soldiers became more and more panicked, and many people simply turned their horses and fled.

The power of the heavy cavalry is huge, especially the heavy cavalry that charges up, I am afraid that even the musketeers of the van army can't stop it! The heavy cavalry of the Jin army looked like a moving steel fortress, and then the fortresses were connected to form an impregnable steel defense.

The arrows fired by the Xianbei people hit them with a clanging sound, but they could not do them any harm. One by one, the Xianbei soldiers were mercilessly crushed by the heavy cavalry to crush the fragments of the city, and the Xianbei defense line, which was still unbreakable, appeared a huge gap in an instant, and this gap is getting bigger and bigger!

At this moment, Murong Diao's head was blank, and his face was already snow-white. He had never found that the seemingly bulky heavy cavalry would have such great power, and the Xianbei cavalry gathered together was powerless in the face of the heavy cavalry onslaught.

However, Murong Diao deserves to be a hero, and in this crisis situation, he slashed and killed several people in a row to finally stop the decline. He knew very well that he must not run at this time, otherwise he could only be chased and killed by the Jin army.

Under Murong Diao's iron-blooded means, the Xianbei army was finally able to stabilize the situation, and before the heavy cavalry army arrived from the left flank, the Chinese army finally rearranged the position, and now there are more than 40,000 Xianbei people on the entire battlefield.

It's just that the Xianbei people at this time have long lost the momentum of not being afraid of death at the beginning, and they still can't break through the defense line of the Jin army after repeated impacts, which has brought huge psychological pressure to the Xianbei people. When the killer weapon of the Jin army, the heavy cavalry, appeared, fear finally surged up from the bottom of every Xianbei person's heart.

The Xianbei people had never faced such a cavalry unit, and those heavy cavalry rode tall horses one by one, surrounded by steel armor, with hideous masks on their faces, and steel spears in their hands, which looked so terrifying!

The Xianbei cavalry, which formed a phalanx, raised the blade in his hand tremblingly under the threat of the Xianbei general, looked at the heavy cavalry army that was already close in front of him, and waved it forward vigorously.

Unfortunately, their resistance was in vain. Most of their blades were cut on the thick armor, and they couldn't destroy the heavy cavalry armor built by the Jin army with a lot of money, and at most they made a shallow cut on the surface, which could not cause damage to the horses or cavalry themselves.

On the other hand, the heavy cavalry, although it could not slash and kill as wantonly as the light cavalry, but at the moment of rushing into the enemy's position, the steel spear at the front end knocked all the enemies in front of it into the air.

The phalanx of heavy cavalry, like a monster with its mouth open to eat, instantly bit a one-kilometer-long gap in the Xianbei army, and this gap is expanding little by little. Relying on the huge impact force, the heavy cavalry crushed the left flank of the Xianbei people at once.

After this round of impact, countless Xianbei people died under the hooves of the heavy cavalry, but many more were frightened by the heavy cavalry. More and more Xianbei people began to avoid the heavy cavalry in front of them, and in this way, only a few thousand heavy cavalry completely disrupted the formation of the Xianbei people.

Tao Kan, who was watching the enemy, seized the opportunity and immediately let the Jin army launch a counterattack. (To be continued......)
