"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Countless mortars were firing frantically, shells whizzing off the muzzles and smashing them into the ranks of the Boer cavalry. Although the mortar shells are not very powerful, the rate of fire is very fast. If you shoot at high speed, you can keep it at about 10 shots per minute. A large number of mortars opened fire violently, and the scene of a rain of bullets was directly formed.

"Da Da Da!" Light and heavy machine guns were also firing, and a dense stream of bullets was fired into the crowd, harvesting the lives of those Boers. Because the Boers charged in dense formations, the machine gunners had little to no aim, and only had to fire at crowded areas. Countless warhorses that were shot fell to the ground, and the Boers above were directly thrown off their horses, and then trampled into meat sauce by the warhorses galloping at high speed behind.

In the face of the fierce fire of the Imperial cavalry, the attack of the Boers was more like a suicide. Their charge is simply pointless. The line of defense of the Imperial cavalry was as safe as Mount Tai. The Boers, on the other hand, had left a large number of corpses on the way to attack.

There is fear in the hearts of people, even when they are inspired by courage. However, in the brutal battlefield environment, watching his comrades fall one after another and be torn to pieces can also cause great fear. Well-trained soldiers, perhaps, can hold out. But these Boers are nothing more than a rabble. Before joining the army, they were little more than farmers or herders and workers in gold and diamond mines. They simply cannot be compared with the regular army. So much so that in the face of huge casualties, he quickly became timid.

"Oh God! How can the Chinese have such great firepower? We were killed before we could even rush in front of them. No, I can't die here. I have to go back. My wife is still waiting for me at home! "A Boer cavalryman turned his horse's head and tried to flee. But. But it collided with the cavalry advancing at high speed behind him, causing the people to roll over on their backs. The subsequent Boer cavalry could not hold back. I bumped into it directly. There was confusion in the queue. And the Imperial cavalry, seizing this opportunity, frantically poured fire on the Boers, killing more and more Boers. The Imperial cavalry knew that the rest of the battle would only be easier if as many Boers as possible were killed now.

The power of example is endless, and when deserters appeared among the Boer cavalry, more and more Boers learned from it. They were all frightened by the heavy fire of the Chinese cavalry. They don't want to die like that, so. Turning around and running away is undoubtedly the best option.

More and more Boers fled, which directly caused the collapse of the ranks of the Boer cavalry. Even if the officers tried to stop it, there was no way to stop them. After all, there were so many frightened Boers that it would be harder than to ascend to the sky if they wanted them to continue their attack on the Chinese cavalry. The Boer officers knew that their chances of victory were slim in this battle.

"Order the troops, charge. Defeat the Boers once and for all! Major General Song Jian seized this opportunity and directly ordered an attack.

"Rush!" Tens of thousands of Imperial cavalry shouted loudly and rode their horses towards the fleeing Boers. The Boers, who had already fled with wolves, saw the Chinese chasing after them. Flee faster. They frantically whipped their horses on the buttocks, trying to escape. Otherwise, once it falls into the hands of the Chinese. It's very difficult to survive. The previous propaganda of the Boers was that the Chinese would kill all the Boers.

"General. What now? In the course of the offensive, our troops suffered heavy losses. Now everyone is fleeing for their lives in the wolf bèi. We simply cannot organize a strong force to fight the Chinese. A Boer general said to General Joubert with a dejected face. It seems that no one expected that the battle would evolve into this. Although, before everyone thought that it would be difficult to defeat the Chinese. But I didn't expect that they would lose so simply and so quickly. The Chinese cavalry directly tore apart the Boer attack with heavy fire.

"General, the Chinese's firepower is too strong, we can't resist it at all, let's retreat quickly!" If we wait until the Chinese catch up, we will never have a chance! The other generals also urged. The Boers are now in defeat. If they keep going, they'll only pay a bigger price. Of course, these generals also wanted to flee for their lives and did not want to fall into the hands of the Chinese.

"Order the troops, retreat! Withdraw to Lanceburg, and then gather your troops! General Joubert reluctantly accepted the defeat.

After the order was given, the Boers, who were still preparing to hold on, also chose to retreat. A large number of Boers, evacuated to the northeast. They desperately wanted to escape from the pursuit of the Chinese, which directly caused the Boers to try their best to speed up. Many Boers even threw away their weapons in order to reduce weight, as long as they could make the horses run faster and escape from the pursuit of the Chinese, this is the most important thing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The crisp sound of gunfire rang out, and the Chinese cavalry still did not forget to shoot the fleeing Boer cavalry with their horse pistols in the process of pursuit. The Imperial cavalry used a carbine, which was shorter than the rifle. Although this makes the range less than that of a rifle, it is lighter and suitable for use on a war horse. Countless Boers were shot and fell from their horses.

After firing the bullets in the carbines, the Imperial cavalry drew their sabers and prepared to slash the Boers with their sabers. When the war horse is galloping at high speed, it is impossible to load the carbine at all. All, every carbine, also has only five chances to shoot. Once the bullets are gone, you can only kill the enemy with your sabre. However, even this has already caused heavy losses to those Boers.

"Kill!" The saber of an Imperial cavalryman slashed at a Boer cavalryman. The Boer cavalryman hurriedly raised his sword to confront, but where could a saber made of inferior steel compare to a saber made of stainless steel used by the Imperial cavalry?

The saber of the Boer cavalry was cut off directly, and then, his body was also split in half.

Under the relentless pursuit of the Imperial cavalry, the Boer cavalry suffered heavy losses. Numerous Boer cavalry were caught up and then killed. Some of the Boer cavalry, who found that they could not escape, even surrendered to the Imperial cavalry on their knees.

The pursuit of the Imperial cavalry lasted four or five hours before it ended, and it was not until the horses had no strength that they had to stop. However, the results of the Imperial cavalry were also very impressive. In this battle, the Boers were killed, killed, and captured, as many as forty or fifty thousand. Suffice it to say that half of the main forces of the Boers have already been wiped out. Although tens of thousands of Boers had fled, their morale was so low that they posed no threat to the Imperial cavalry.

For the Imperial cavalry, this was undoubtedly a big victory. The main force of the Boer cavalry was annihilated in the first battle, and the next battle will undoubtedly be smooth. The Imperial cavalry was going to crush the Boers and would soon be victorious.

"General, this is a battle report!" A staff officer handed a battle report to Major General Song Jian. The results of the Imperial cavalry are recorded above, as well as their own damage. Of course, this is only a preliminary report. There is simply not so much time to sort out the detailed battle report.

"Yes, nearly 50,000 enemies were annihilated, and their own losses were less than 1,000! Such a loss is completely acceptable! Major General Song Jian nodded.

"Yes! How could those Boers be compared to the elite cavalry of the Empire? Against us, I don't know whether to live or die! Major General Su Rile also laughed.

"Order the troops, rest for three hours, and then continue the pursuit of the Boers! In this battle, it is necessary to annihilate all the main forces of the Boers! Major General Song Jian ordered.

Both the horses and the soldiers needed to rest before they could continue their attacks. As for the fleeing Boers, the Imperial cavalry had already sent scouts to follow them. When the time comes, the Imperial cavalry can directly catch up and chase and kill.

"What about the captured Boers?" Major General Song Jian frowned. In battle, these captives should not be brought with them.

"What else can I do? Let's just kill it! Anyway, the empire had already given an order, and one Chinese could withstand a thousand Boers. The empire died hundreds of people in this battle, and it was not enough to kill all those Boer prisoners. Old Song, I'll just let my people do it! Major General Su Rile said nonchalantly. He didn't see these Boers as human beings at all.

Major General Song hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. Although, the killing of prisoners is somewhat dishonorable. However, since the empire wants to make these Boers pay a huge price, the entire Boer nation will be destroyed, and it will be nothing to kill a few prisoners of war.

Soon, the shots rang out, and the Boers who had surrendered, all of them were executed. No one among the Imperial cavalry objected to this, but took it for granted.

After all, the Boers had previously threatened the Imperial* army, claiming to kill their compatriots who had been captured by the Boers if they did not withdraw from South Africa. If the Boers can do it, why should the Empire* army follow any international law or something?

What's more, this is a direct order from the General Staff, and one Chinese life can be exchanged for the lives of a thousand Boers. If the Boers had really killed the captured compatriots, then the entire Boer people would have to bury the dead compatriots. In fact, the Imperial cavalry did the same. The order issued by the General Staff is also directly called the order of extermination. (To be continued......)
