"Sorghum is as tall as a bamboo, and it is uneven and green everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info grains of coral beads, the jade of the jade" -- the "green yarn tent" covered with sorghum is a unique scenery in northern China, the long leaves that were originally like knives, connected just like a large curtain, the breeze passes, and the dry leaves are swaying!

In the middle of summer, the sorghum fields are like endless green gauze tents, high and dense without ventilation. There was silence in the green gauze tent, only occasionally the chirping of crickets could be heard, and suddenly, the silence in the green gauze tent was broken, and nearly four hundred cavalrymen suddenly jumped on their war horses, and when they sat on the horses, the upper body of the cavalry warriors emerged from the top of the green gauze tent.

Lu Guozhang, who was riding on the back of a tall Don hippopotamus and whose upper body was completely exposed to the tip of the sorghum, glanced left and right, and the 386 cavalrymen of the third battalion of the cavalry in this sorghum field were all sitting on horseback like him, quietly staring at the preface and staring at the battlefield two kilometers away.

This was the first battle of the cavalry battalion, and the few suppression of bandits in Korea were nothing more than battles, where they were nothing more than horseback infantry who "bullied" the peasants, and now they were facing the elite division of the Qing army.

"At most, you have riders who have just learned to ride horses, not cavalry!"

The words of the German cavalry instructor, as the commander of the cavalry battalion, Lu Guozhang's expression was solemn, and while looking left and right, he held his breath and stretched out his right hand to the left waist, when holding the handle of the Han-style cavalry knife, the so-called Chinese-style cavalry knife is borrowed from the Russian-style Chaksy cavalry knife made by the Seoul Machinery Bureau, and the rifle in the hands of the infantry cavalry is generally called "Han-style".

Although the cavalry of the New Army was trained by German instructors, and the officers also learned cavalry knowledge from the German instructors in the lecture hall. But in the choice of cavalry knives. They did not choose the Solingen sabre, which was widely used by the German cavalry. That's because the German cavalry used straight swords, which was not conducive to slashing.

Compared with the straight sword, whether it is influenced by tradition or other cavalry ideas, the staff of the new army prefers the traditional saber, and the cavalry uses the knife on the back of the galloping horse to slash, slash, and slash tactics, which undoubtedly kill the infantry more.

Because of this, the choice of cavalry knives can be said to have taken a lot of twists and turns. In the end, in the process of purchasing military horses from Russia, through continuous comparative tests, they chose the Russian Kyaksi cavalry knife, and made certain improvements on its basis, the length was lengthened, but the weight was basically the same as the original knife, compared to the Han cavalry knife is more powerful than the Kyaksi cavalry knife, and the penetration force and cutting surface are stronger.

At the moment when his right hand passed through the belt at the end of the handle and held the handle, Lu Guozhang's eyes narrowed slightly. Two words burst out of his voice.

"Draw your sword!"

Following the battalion commander's order, a knife drawing sound sounded in the sorghum field. The cavalrymen who drew their cavalry swords held their sabers and put the back of their swords on their right shoulders, quietly staring ahead, and some cavalrymen drew their cavalry swords, soothing their horses with their palms from time to time, waiting for the final order.

"Forward...... Walk! ”

Another command came from Lu Guozhang's voice, and after the order was issued, 386 cavalrymen used their horses to stiffen and control the war horses under their crotch with spurs at the base of their boots.

"Forward!"

At the same time that the saber held by the commander in his right hand pointed straight ahead, the cavalry battalion was dispatched, their speed was not fast, but the rhythm of the horse's hooves was very neat, so that people would have the illusion that the war horse was stepping on the right step, which was exactly the difference between the modern cavalry and the ancient cavalry, and the horses used were strictly adjusted, and they could even step out of the rhythm of the uniform "marching in unison" like a soldier.

After the cavalry team marched more than 500 meters in the sorghum ground, with the order of "jogging and running", the speed of the cavalry team began to slowly accelerate, perhaps, this is the biggest difference between modern cavalry and traditional cavalry, all their actions are strictly implemented in accordance with the provisions of the cavalry combat discipline, just like the impact of these two kilometers in general, two kilometers of distance, from marching, to jogging, all actions are strictly implemented according to the orders of the commander, no one acts in vain, let alone personal bravery, Some are just neat groups and neat and even somewhat dull queues.

As the order to jog was given, the sound of the horses' hooves, which had an almost uniform rhythm, became deeper and deeper, and each neat sound of hooves gave the illusion of the sound of war drums, more like the muffled thunder of summer echoing on the earth.

On this midsummer morning, when the fiery sun began to show its power, the silent earth was once again shaken by the trampling of thousands of horses' hooves, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed like rolling mines, coming from far and near.

It's cavalry!

At this time, no one will doubt that they heard it wrong, but unlike the last time, the sound of horses' hooves on the battlefield this time seems to be a little different, although the hooves of the Qing army's horse team last time were like thunder, but they were extremely scattered, and at this time, the officers and soldiers on both sides of the battlefield heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near as a whole, and the sound of hooves with a sense of calm rhythm even gave people an illusion that the thousands of cavalry who were getting closer and closer were a whole.

"Maintain Formation, Maintain Formation......"

Lu Guozhang, who led the cavalry battalion, kept urging, his words were passed among the cavalry, and everyone maintained the same speed according to their training, and on his left and right and behind him, the cavalry battalion formed a tight camp, completely like a moving fortress, roaring with a deafening hoof, and attacked towards the rear of the Qing army.

"This, this is ......"

When the sound of hooves came, Nie Guilin hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction where the sound came from, just in an instant, sweat came out of his forehead, and he recognized it with just one glance, this is by no means the horse team of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the horse team of the Great Qing Kingdom will never be like them, maintaining a neat formation in the run, not to mention the tall horses ridden by these cavalry, this is a Yanma of one color.

It's a team of bandits!

When the sweat drops of bean size dripped from Nie Guilin's forehead, the infantry team in front was already in chaos, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves kept beating the heart of the training soldiers, who had never been the opponent of the cavalry, at least for the Qing soldiers. They did not have the courage to resist the cavalry attack. When the cavalry, which looked like a moving fortress, began to charge. The thunderous sound of hooves made almost everyone tremble.

This is the cavalry of the rebels!

"Horse team!"

With a scream, the Qing troops in the rear realized that the rushing horse team was not their own horse team, and while shouting in horror, some of them immediately made their choice - turn around and flee in the opposite direction of the cavalry attack, and it was almost an instinct of them to escape.

The soldiers who had not yet fled saw those cavalry suddenly raise their swords and point straight ahead, and the sharp tips of the cavalry knives pointing straight ahead reflected dazzling lights in the sun, and the light even pierced them and made them unable to open their eyes. Maybe it's fear that keeps them from opening their eyes.

In the dazzling light, the speed of the cavalry grew faster and faster, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the heavens and the earth like rolling mines on a summer day, shaking people's hearts and striking everyone's hearts, causing the weak-willed to collapse almost immediately.

"Quick, guy......"

Just as the soldiers were urging, there was a sound of killing in the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, and the cavalry with a saber in his right hand roared and rushed into the enemy formation, and the speed of the cavalry team became faster and faster, so that the Qing army in a hurry was just in a hurry to pick up the gun. A shot was fired at the cavalry, and the cavalry rushed into the unguarded position.

The cavalry that rushed into the enemy line was like a tiger in the mountains. Rushing into the unsuspecting flock of sheep at once, Lu Guozhang, who was holding a cavalry knife, rushed to the front without giving way, in front of him, the Qing soldiers with guns were desperately fleeing, he pointed the tip of the knife slightly to the left, and when the war horse galloped behind the soldier Yong, his wrist pressed, and the cavalry knife leaned down to "gently skimm" the back of the soldier Yong.

Although he didn't slash hard, with the help of high-speed galloping horsepower, the seemingly gentle cavalry knife still slashed Bing Yong to the ground, and the cavalry knife even swept over Bing Yong's back like a saw, and when it was dragged to his right shoulder, it was a knife that cut off his shoulder and arm.

In fact, for the cavalry on the war horse, they don't need to chop the enemy at all, they just need to keep the knife peak aimed at the enemy, and then everything is dealt with by the inertia of the war horse, and there is no need to waste power in chopping, of course, this is under the premise of rapid impact.

After cutting down a Qing soldier, Lu Guozhang once again attacked forward with a cavalry sword. And around him, the cavalry knives in the hands of those cavalrymen were like the sickles of death, sweeping through the rear camp of the Qing army like a whirlwind, leaving only pieces of broken arms along the way, and the soldiers who tried to resist were just raising their guns, and when they pointed to the left, the cavalry knives that attacked from all directions cut them under the knives, and the sharp blades either cut off the arms of the soldiers, or cut their neck carotid arteries, dragging out a fountain of blood mist in the air.

This was a completely one-sided massacre, less than 400 cavalry were like the arms of death, crisscrossing the battlefield, as for the Qing army, there was no strength to resist at all, so they could only flee desperately and hand over their backs to the other side.

Just when the rear camp of the Qing army was raided by cavalry, those infantry battalions of the Qing army, which were on the verge of collapse after the horse team was completely annihilated and attacked by the dense rain of bullets on the battlefield, immediately fell into collapse after realizing the situation of the rear camp being copied, and the courage that had been finally mustered up under the encouragement of silver disappeared in an instant.

Even the officials at all levels were the first to flee towards the rear, and the officers took the lead in escaping, causing nearly ten battalions of thousands of Qing army infantry soldiers to collapse in an instant, and they fled to the side and rear almost desperately. At this moment, a charge sounded on the battlefield, and the infantry of the New Army, which had been passively defensive, seized the opportunity to attack from the front immediately after the collapse of the Qing army.

"My lord, get out of here, get out of here! If you don't withdraw, you won't be in a hurry! ”

Nie Guilin was almost dragged onto the war horse by his own soldiers, his eyes were all red, he couldn't believe that the tens of thousands of soldiers in the 20th battalion were defeated like this, and the defeat was so miserable.

Nie Guilin, who was dragged onto the war horse by his own soldiers, looked at the collapsed troops on the battlefield, thousands of soldiers had already scattered and fled under the attack of hundreds of cavalry, as for the infantry team that had tried to storm the enemy formation before, this would have completely collapsed, thousands of soldiers even knelt on the ground desperately and raised their hands high, and the rebel army rushing towards them was not even a thousand.

"My lord, Guilin has the trust of my lord!"

Just when Nie Guilin was crying bitterly in the direction of Li Datun, Li Datun was also hot, more precisely. At this time, this place has become a red-hot sea of fire - the once jubilant Qing artillery. With heavy mortar shelling. This will become completely mute. And the position of the Qing army was completely plunged into an unprecedented sea of fire,

"Sudden ......"

When the dull whistling sound was getting closer and closer, the Qing army on the battlefield had been blown up, and when the 83-kilogram shell flew straight towards the target, it had a somewhat clumsy sound of breaking the air, but at this time, this sound was heard in the ears of the Qing army like the spell of Cui Soul, which made every Qing soldier brave when he heard it. All of them were scattered trying to avoid the clumsy sound.

Suddenly, the spell stopped abruptly, and the violent explosion instantly became the only sound on the battlefield, and a violent explosion, a column of smoke up to 100 meters high and tonnage of dust rose at least half of the air at the same time, the Qing soldiers who did not flee in a hurry were even torn to pieces on their clothes, and they fell down at the same time, their bodies did not seem to have any injuries, but their organs had been shaken into pieces by the shock wave, until they died. There was a visceral horror on his face.

In the past hour or so, the 83-kilogram shells fired by four heavy mortars were undoubtedly the most terrifying presence on the battlefield. The soldiers within a radius of dozens of feet in its explosion, even if they were not hit by fragments, would be shocked to death and stunned, so that the Qing soldiers were even blown up to collapse, only forcing Zuo Guigui to use military law to avoid the rout of the camp.

"My lord, no, this thief's artillery fire is really fierce, and extraordinary people can fight it, please make a quick decision, and if you don't retreat, you're afraid, you're only afraid, ......you're only afraid, you're only afraid."

Feng Sheng'a said nervously on the side, not to mention the soldiers of the Shengzi battalion, even he, the commander, was also taken aback by Tang Shun's artillery fire, in order to contain the North Korean army, the lord transferred nearly sixty large and small cannons of the four battalions of artillery to attack the North Korean army commander camp in Li Datun.

It stands to reason that so many cannons are enough to beat the other party out of breath, but who would have thought that the other party was dumb for a long time, and endured it for almost an hour before it suddenly broke out, the shells and raindrops were like raindrops, not only the Shengzi battalion of the front battalion was torn apart, but the officers and braves lost their formations and fled, not to mention, now this artillery team has also been blown up, how many cannons does the North Korean army have?

According to Feng Sheng's estimate, just because their cannonballs hit so closely, there are at least hundreds of cannons, if so, how many thieves will Lord Li have? It is estimated that there are not 20,000, but 15,000, if there are so many rebel troops on the other side, then is there still a need to fight this battle?

"That's right, if the thief knows that our infantry camp is in the area of Shendan Fort, then, then let's ......"

It's really a lot of bad luck, and when the time comes, even if it's ...... What can you do if you win the battle in Shendanbao? Just when the generals were advocating the retreat, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, which was the herald running from Shendan Fort.

"What's the situation over there in Shendanbao?"

Zuo Guigui hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently, if Shen Danbao is opened, wouldn't this thief be ......

"My lord, the thief reverses the surprise and dispatches thousands of foreign-style cavalry to cut into the battlefield from behind Lord Nie......"

Without waiting for the herald to finish speaking, Zuo Guigui only felt dizzy, how could it be, how could this be...... Defeated, defeated, not only did he fail to win, but he was defeated so neatly, but in just a few hours, more than 10,000 soldiers were defeated!

At the same time, there was a violent explosion from the side and rear, and the explosion sounded a deafening trumpet, which was the trumpeter of the new army blowing the trumpet, which also meant that the Qing army was surrounded.

"My lord, the thief is against the trend, please evacuate as soon as possible, please take off the top of the feather, so as not to be targeted by the public!"

When everyone persuaded Zuo Guigui to take off his top and think that he was retreating, Zuo Guigui, who looked solemn, looked at the garrison troops around him who were attacking with the roar of the trumpet, shook his head and said:

"At this time, we have been ambushed on all sides, and the official is wearing court clothes, because I want the soldiers to know that the official is the first soldier, so that they can go forward and succeed, and they will be watched by the enemy, and what is there to be afraid of! But one death! I have received the great favor of the court, how can I not repay the service with my body! ”

Zuo Guigui did not take off the top of the feather as the soldiers around him wished, but shouted at the soldiers around him.

"Jianquan, bring me here!"

After the soldiers brought the war horse, Zuo Guigui took a look and rode on the war horse, wielded the long-handled horse chopping knife, and then raised the saber violently, pointing at the attacking rebels.

"Now is the time for us to serve the court, you will kill the enemy with me!"

When the words fell, the left precious legs slammed into the horse's body.

"Kill ......"

The more than 100 cavalry instantly rushed towards the attacking Korean army like tigers in the mountains, and this group of cavalry immediately attracted the attention of the artillery observers of the 1st Division with their current yellow jackets, and the gunners immediately adjusted the muzzles according to the data given by the observers, and fired rows of shells at this group of cavalry......

With that violent explosion, the once galloping horse team dissipated into the smoke cloud, and when the smoke cleared, only a few lone wounded horses were left on the battlefield to neigh helplessly......
