Chapter 813: Mutiny

As a result, the commotion among the four thousand cavalry became more and more violent......

Faced with this situation, the commander of the cavalry division who led the team was also a hardcore henchman who Zhou Shuyuan pulled up. I am very aware of the situation that is becoming more and more unfavorable for me.

It can be said that the longer he confronts the First Cavalry Division here, the more turbulent the morale of the thousands of soldiers behind him will become, and even the battlefield will collapse......

Under such circumstances, there is only one way for division commanders who want to break this dangerous situation, and that is to go to war immediately...... did not give the officers and men under his command time to think about it, and forced the officers and men under his command to fight with the 1st Cavalry Division on the opposite side.

Thinking of this, the anxious expression on the division commander's face was directly covered by a thick murderous aura...... Loudly ordered his subordinates to remain loyal to themselves and Zhou Shuyuan's subordinates, and urged their respective officers and soldiers to attack the opposite Tiger and Leopard Army......

Under the coercion and temptation of the officers, no matter how much they are unwilling in the hearts of ordinary soldiers, they can only hold it in their hearts.

Soon, the four thousand cavalry began to move, and at their own faster and faster speed, they rushed towards the 1st Cavalry Division.

At the front of the formation formed by the 1st Cavalry Division, seeing that although the attack had been launched, the chief of staff could not see the slightest murderous spirit from the opponent's formation, immediately understood that his psychological offensive against the enemy had worked.

Even the officers in the more than 4,000 cavalry were still loyal to Zhou Shuyuan. However, the soldiers under their command have become turbulent......

Facing an opponent who was charging faster and faster, the chief of staff did not hesitate too much before he opened his mouth and ordered: "Two regiments, in an attack formation." Divide the enemy's formation into three...... During the rush kill. First kill and wound enemy officers. As for the enemy, ordinary soldiers. In the case of ensuring your own safety, if you can, you will not kill ......"

"If nothing else, we can capture at least 3,000 of the 4,000 cavalry in front of us......"

After speaking, the chief of staff directly raised the saber hanging from his waist, the blade forward, raised it high, and ordered loudly: "All officers and soldiers pay attention." Start attacking, kill ...... with me."

Maybe it's because the two sides are too close, or maybe it's because both armies belong to the Haw Par Army to a certain extent.

The two cavalry that approached quickly on the battlefield seemed to have been negotiated, and at the same time abandoned the muskets, which were particularly lethal. They all held their sabers high, ready to fight a victory with their swords......

"Boom Boom ......" resounded on the battlefield with a deafening roar, and the torrent composed of thousands of cavalry crashed together.

The most primitive bloody massacre of mankind unfolded like this.

However, under the deliberate command of the 1st Cavalry Division. After a round of collisions, the casualties on both sides were not significant. Not even five hundred......

However, it was these small casualties that caused a very different result for both the enemy and us.

The more than 400 cavalry lost by the 1st Division were basically ordinary soldiers.

After the first round of charging and killing, the remaining more than 3,000 soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads and formed a new cavalry charging phalanx under the orders of officers at all levels, preparing to launch a second round of charging and killing against the enemy.

As for the opponent, although they only lost less than 500 men, most of the officers and men were officers in the army.

Even their division commander had an arm cut off by the 1st Cavalry Division during the charge.

And the result of this is that after a round of killing, because a large number of officers died on the battlefield. The remaining more than 3,000 cavalry fell directly into chaos.

Although the remaining officers in the army tried their best to restrain their subordinates...... However, the handful of officers was obviously too few for the outnumbered, demoralized, and confused ordinary soldiers......

For a long time, more than 3,000 soldiers were in chaos......

And at this moment, in the formation of the First Cavalry Division, which had already lined up the battle formation, several cavalry suddenly rushed out.

When he rushed to a distance of about 100 paces from the cavalry division of the Fifth Army, he stopped directly.

Then, in his loudest voice, he shouted: "Listen to the brothers on the other side, you have been deceived...... Your officers have followed Zhou Shuyuan to betray the Tiger and Par Army and defect to the imperial court...... Do you want to follow them and go back to the court, where you can't get your military pay and you can't even eat......

"The prince has an order...... All soldiers who voluntarily surrender on the battlefield, regardless of whether they have participated in the battle or not, are not to blame in the past...... Whoever turned out to be an officer, continues to be an officer, who turned out to be a soldier, continues to be a soldier......"

"Brothers, don't fight, we are the 1st Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Par Army, and you can't beat it...... voluntarily surrendered and rejoined the Haw Par Army...... If you continue to resist, there is only a dead end......"

After several officers and men of the 1st Cavalry Division who had particularly loud voices finished shouting, they did not hesitate at all, and retreated very decisively.

And at this moment, it seemed that in order to prove the shouts of these cavalrymen, if they continued to fight, they had only a dead end.

The mortar, which had been hidden by the chief of staff, was directly removed and erected on a high ground not far from the battlefield.

Maybe it's for a demonstration, maybe it's to warn the opponent to hurry up and make a choice.

Dozens of mortars, regardless of whether the battle had started or not, fired directly at the open space between the two cavalry......

After the flowering bomb with a screaming sound landed and exploded, dozens of gunpowder smoke mixed with thick black smoke rose directly from the open space between the two armies. Of course, the ash and fireballs that were blown up by the flowering bombs also enveloped the area at the first time......

It is certain that if the round of shells that had just exploded fell in the middle of the military formation, hundreds of names would have been taken away at the first time.

In the face of the sudden changes in the battlefield, the more than 3,000 cavalry, which was already in chaos, became even more chaotic at this moment.

What's more, some cavalry officers and men directly asked the officers around them if what the First Cavalry Division said was true......

In the face of the increasingly bad situation in front of them, some of the officers who were speechless when asked by their subordinates, in order to ensure their prestige in front of their subordinates, directly drew their sabers, preparing to suppress the commotion and dissatisfaction of the officers and men under their command through such a very bloody means as killing.

However, he forgot that he was not in the imperial army, but in the Haw Par army......

After a year-long training in the Haw Par Army's military regulations, every soldier knows that in the Haw Par Army, officers do not have the right to kill people directly. Even if a military rule is violated, it is carried out by an officer of the Judge Advocate General's Office......

So, when the officer raised his saber and prepared to kill, he used it to make an example of the chicken.

The soldiers around him were not to be left behind, drew their sabers, and confronted the officers......

When one of the officers was killed in this confrontation, a voice quickly spread among the soldiers......

"We can't continue to be deceived by the officers...... Kill them and rejoin the Haw Par Army...... Never take refuge in the imperial court......"

When this voice spread in the chaotic military formation, the already handful of officers in the army immediately became sad.

In the face of tenfold, or even dozens of times the opponent, without even having time to react, he was cut into corpses by the chaotic saber......

Subsequently, the remaining more than 3,000 cavalry became prisoners of the First Cavalry Division without accident and returned to Qingchuan County with the cavalry division...... (To be continued......)
