Although the ordinary officers and soldiers in the patrol force did not know the news that Zhou Shuyuan had led them to break away from the Haw Par Army and stand on their own, the company commander knew.

Therefore, when the vanguard regiment of the cavalry division revealed its figure, a cry full of horror came out of the mouth of the company commander almost subconsciously......

"Close the gates, close the gates immediately...... They are not our cavalry units, they are disguised by the enemy...... The whole company immediately became ready for battle...... You, immediately inform the commander of the regiment, the enemy is coming, and a regiment of cavalry has appeared, and is quickly rushing in the direction of the city gate......

More than a hundred musketeers, relying on the city walls, were ready for battle, and two thousand cavalry had already rushed to a position two hundred paces from the city gates. Seeing that the city gate that was still open just now had been closed, the commander of the vanguard cavalry regiment couldn't help but have a trace of anger on his face......

Because, his original idea was to take advantage of the fact that the defenders of Qingchuan County did not know their identity and were unprepared, and entered the city in one fell swoop.

However, he did not expect that the garrison on the city wall would have such a quick reaction speed......

As soon as his purpose was revealed, he reacted quickly and made all his plans go to naught.

What's more, almost a company of musketeers in the city was ready......

As long as he rushes within the range of the opponent's musket, the lead bullet fired by the opponent will definitely shoot his soldiers on the offensive road without hesitation.

So, in the blink of an eye, two completely different choices appeared in front of the head of the regiment, and the fat head of the regiment chose ......

The choice is very difficult, but he can become the commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Haw Par Army. Wenwu is definitely a very decisive person.

After only a brief contemplation. A decision entered the mind of Wenwu.

Keep going on the offensive forward. Before the main force of the defenders could react, they approached the city walls, blew open the gates with grenades, and re-entered the city.

Otherwise, the main forces of the defenders of the city would face a combined attack of thousands of musketeers and dozens of mortars themselves.

At that time, even if he can re-enter Qingchuan County, he will pay a very heavy price......

Come to think of it. Wenwu, who had already made a decision, immediately drew a grenade hanging from his waist, and while continuing to attack, he shouted in his loudest voice: "Soldiers, continue to charge, blow up the musketeers on the city wall with grenades, and blow open the city gates......"

It was like a torrent of steel vanguard cavalry, which only used the blink of an eye to follow the official road and enter the musket range of the defenders of the city.

Although these cavalrymen were their former colleagues, once they gave the order to shoot. He will completely break with the Haw Par Army and become an enemy of the Haw Par Army. But. Thinking of Zhou Shuyuan's kindness to himself and his promise to himself, the company commander still gave the order to shoot very firmly......

Shots rang out, and several cavalrymen who rushed to the front, no doubt, were directly hit by lead bullets and fell to the ground with a bang.

However, in the face of the expected counterattack, the face of the commander of the first cavalry regiment quickly flashed a trace of heartache. However, with a full face of determination, he urged his subordinates to continue to attack......

After losing fifty or sixty elite cavalry in a row, the unstoppable iron flow of the cavalry regiment finally rushed to a position almost fifty paces away from the city gate.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall immediately began to prepare grenades, ready to use grenades to blow back the offensive of the cavalry regiment with their condescending superiority......

However, they forgot...... They have the advantage of being condescending in height, and can throw a grenade that normally only throws thirty paces out of forty or even fifty paces. However, the cavalry regiments outside the city also had their own advantage, and that was the advantage of speed......

Under the huge inertia of the cavalry's rapid charge, the cavalry soldiers on their horses could easily throw the grenade a dozen paces away.

Therefore, while the defenders of the city threw grenades outside the city, a steady stream of grenades, also emitting white smoke, were thrown by the cavalry on the city head.

The explosion sounded, and the dozens of cavalry who rushed to the front, without accident, were directly drowned in the smoke and steel storm produced by the grenade explosion, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

And the defenders of the city were not much better.

After an even larger number of grenades exploded at the head of the city, the city wall above the head of the city was directly enveloped in gunsmoke.

On the bare city walls, face the attack of countless grenade fragments around you. More than 100 defenders, except for those who reacted quickly, quickly lay on the ground, dodging the flying shrapnel.

The rest of the defenders were undoubtedly beaten into a hornet's nest covered in blood by these fragments......

As a result, the defenders, who inflicted more than a hundred casualties on the cavalry regiment, lost their combat effectiveness in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry rushing behind did not miss this great opportunity, and quickly bypassed the battlefield in front of them, which was still shrouded in gunpowder smoke and devoured dozens of colleagues, and killed the city gate as fast as they could......

Soon, several cavalry rushed into the city gate, and dozens of grenades were piled up at the city gate......

Lighting the grenade fire rope, several cavalrymen quickly mounted their horses and exited the city gate......

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded directly in the city gate cave. Then, the thick gunpowder smoke mixed with a large amount of black smoke quickly poured out of the city gate hole.

However, even with the shroud of gunsmoke, the officers and soldiers of the First Cavalry Regiment who had rushed to the entrance of the city gate could still faintly see that the city gate was still closed just now, and the city gate hole of the black hole had already revealed a trace of light.

There is no doubt that the city gates have been blown open in the explosion just now......

Faced with this ending that was even better than expected, a smile quickly flashed on the face of the head of the regiment, Wenwu.

After kicking the war horse's buttocks, he rushed into the city gate cave that was still shrouded in gunsmoke.

On the battlefield where the sound of explosions and horses' hooves is constant, even if the regiment commander gives an order, it is impossible to spread it.

Therefore, the regiment commander Wenwu directly told his soldiers with actions to rush, continue to rush forward, directly rush into the city, and eliminate the garrison in the city......

So, as soon as the figure of the regiment commander Wenwu rushed into the city gate, the soldiers around him followed closely......

Of course, at this moment, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment have replaced the grenades in their hands with sabers.

Holding his saber aloof, he rushed forward with a roar and rushed into the city, ready to use the swords that emitted cold light to cut off the heads of all the garrisons in the city who dared to resist......

However, the idea is good, but there is no way to implement it.

As soon as the cavalry regiment headed by the regimental commander rushed into the county seat, it ran into the musket company that had come to reinforce it.

At such a close distance, the defenders were scattered by the cavalry before they could react. Faced with this situation, the commander of the garrison who followed closely knew that in a close fight, the musketeers under his command could never be a cavalry opponent.

Therefore, the regiment commander gave the order to retreat and abandon the county seat without thinking about it. (To be continued......)
