Chapter 703: The Lost Dog
The cavalry charge was too fast when the second rebel fell in front of him.
In front of him, there was no longer a single rebel in sight.
In the blink of an eye, the two thousand cavalry of the cavalry regiment rushed through in the middle of the dense chaos.
When the cavalry regiment turned its horse's head and prepared to launch a second assault on the rebels.
After the first round of impact, the tragic picture left on the battlefield appeared directly in front of everyone.
At this moment, the night is hanging over the battlefield. However, under the illumination of the moonlight, the battlefield, which had been completely stained red with blood, was still very clearly visible to everyone's eyes.
On this gap, which was more than ten zhang wide and cut off by the cavalry's waist, it was almost covered with a dense layer of corpses of rebellious soldiers.
However, because the war horse trampled on their corpses.
Of the hundreds of corpses that lay on the battlefield, almost none were intact.
Everywhere you can see round heads, bodies that have been trampled to scattered internal organs, and even stumps and broken arms that have been trampled into a pile of flesh......
Faced with this unprecedented tragic scene in front of him, even the soldiers of the cavalry division who had been on the battlefield for a long time couldn't help but turn pale.
As for the rebels who were lucky enough to escape the attack just now, they were directly shrouded in fear.
However, the cavalry division that was once again ready to attack thousands of iron cavalry, no matter what they thought.
At the command of the regiment commander, almost two thousand iron horsemen once again raised their sabers and rushed towards the panicked rebels......
There was no doubt about the final result, the chaotic soldiers who were completely exposed to the cavalry, in front of the thousands of iron cavalry of the cavalry division. Don't talk about fighting back. There was not even a chance to escape for your life.
like a lamb to the slaughter. Wait for the Haw Par Army to cut them down to the ground in pieces......
Two cavalry regiments of more than 3,000 iron horsemen, galloping on the battlefield at will, reaping the merits of war.
Several musket regiments, also under the cover of heavy artillery, successfully entered the camp of the rebel army.
In the face of the chaotic chaos in the barracks, the musketeers did not hesitate...... Quickly formed a battalion and company-sized musket array and fired lead bullets into the barracks......
In the barracks crowded with rebellious soldiers, there are many people. The whistling buckshot flew wherever it went.
Flying lead bullets were in the middle of the dense crowd, and almost none of them missed......
Every burst of gunfire meant that the rebels were knocked to the ground......
As the battle continued, more and more rebels were killed on the battlefield, and finally some rebels could not withstand this blow and pressure, and knelt on the ground without spinelessness and surrendered to the Haw Par Army.
In the barracks, which was almost completely shrouded in despair, as long as one of the rebels surrendered, they were not killed by the Tiger and Par Army......
The idea of surrendering to the Tiger and Par Army. Directly like a plague, it quickly spread throughout the barracks.
Just now, it was a picture of the rebels surrendering to the Tiger and Par Army. In the blink of an eye, it turned into patches of rebels who surrendered to the Tiger and Par Army......
Soon, there was no longer a single standing rebel in the military camp of Nuoda......
Everyone bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, waiting for the judgment of the Haw Par Army on their final fate......
Thankfully, they have a lot of use for the Haw Par Army.
So, as soon as they began to surrender, the constant sound of gunfire from the Haw Par Army musket array stopped.
Excluding those who fled with Zhang Zhongming, who were killed on the battlefield by the Haw Par Army, and finally surrendered to the Haw Par Army, there were as many as 22,000 prisoners......
At this moment, Zhang Zhongming, who was protruding from the encirclement of the Tiger and Leopard Army from the small road, was fleeing for his life in the direction of Ningxia with 8,000 elites along the official road......
In Zhang Zhongming's eyes, as long as he escapes into Ningxia, with the 8,000 elite combat strength and equipment under his command, the strength of the soldiers under his command can swell to 50,000 in a few months at the latest......
However, what he didn't expect was that the tens of thousands of rebels he left in the barracks to confuse the Haw Par Army did not achieve his intended purpose at all......
Not only did he not hold back the Haw Par Army, but he revealed his purpose of breaking through and fleeing to the Haw Par Army one step in advance......
Just when the 8,000 elite soldiers finally broke out of the encirclement and escaped forty or fifty miles from Yulin.
A roaring sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the official road behind Zhang Zhongming.
Before Zhang Zhongming could react, a figure he was very familiar with appeared in his field of vision, surrounded by his subordinates.
The person who came was none other than the second general who had been told him to flee for his life.
However, when he fled for his life, there were more than a thousand henchmen who followed him, but at this moment, there were not even a hundred.
Facing the subordinates who ran over in a hurry, Zhang Zhongming didn't have time to speak, and the other party rushed to shout......
"General, run...... The Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army cavalry caught up...... A full 2,000 cavalry is about to catch up with us......"
"The last general has left all the elite who have been brought out of the barracks to stop this cavalry...... However, the cavalry of the Haw Par Army is too powerful, and there are many people...... Those who will remain at the end will not be able to stop them for too long......"
Sure enough, the frightened cries of his subordinates had just reached Zhang Zhongming's ears.
The roar from the official road behind him stopped.
At the same time, the sound of dense musket firing and the explosion of a grenade that shook the sky sounded on the official road behind him.
It is obvious that the elite left by his subordinates are holding back the pursuers of the Tiger and Leopard Army......
Although the subordinates did not report, how many people were left behind.
However, seeing that there were less than 100 guards left around the other party, Zhang Zhongming knew that there must not be many people left by the other party...... Otherwise, his subordinates would not have left less than a hundred guards to protect themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongming's face changed greatly, and at the same time, he ordered loudly...... "What are you doing then...... Speed up the march...... In more than 20 miles, we can reach Dingbian County...... As long as we arrive at Dingbian, we will have a choice......" "Whether to fight a decisive battle with the Tiger and Leopard Army in Dingbian or flee back to Ningxia is up to us......"
Soon, the news that there were chasing soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army behind him spread among the more than 8,000 elites......
In order to survive, these already very tired rebels, as if they had been beaten in an instant, once again increased the speed of the march to the extreme......
In the blink of an eye, the 8,000 rebels ran out for more than ten miles, and the gunfire from behind them also disappeared.
However, this good mood did not last long, and the roaring sound of horses' hooves began to reach their ears from far and near, making their hearts that had just relaxed become nervous again.
Especially Zhang Zhongming's side, the subordinates who had just escaped from the iron cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Facing the louder and louder sound of horses' hooves behind him, a face directly turned pale (to be continued......
