Chapter 374: One Step at a Time
Li Xinxun was also taken aback, after the thick white smoke was blown away, the grenadier battalion led by Zhang Shi was once again exposed to the battlefield full of enemy soldiers from the Uzhumuqin Division. However, the shape shì exceeded everyone's expectations, and the grenadier battalion not only did not avoid the cavalry staring at them in a hurry, but instead met them, still walking diagonally in columns, but after all, their legs could not run four hooves, and the interactive formation still could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division.
As a result, the grenadier battalion had to withstand several rounds of cavalry fire from the Uzhumuqin cavalry in order to reach the advantageous position. The grenadier battalion was originally established with the aim of becoming a sharp knife of the Three Guards, and it has always been regarded as a key object of protection in the past, and has been criticized for its unusually high welfare benefits.
As you can see now, they are fighting so bravely, and all the doubts of the past will surely disappear from today. But even more surprising things are yet to come. The soldiers of the grenadier battalion had amazing arm strength, throwing flower thunder with one hand to reach dozens of steps, thousands of people spread out the battle line, threw in unison, and fell into the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, and the power of the explosion was extremely terrifying and amazing.
In just one round, the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, which was hundreds of nearly a thousand people, was blown up, and more importantly, due to the violent explosion, even if the horse ear had already been plugged into the blockade, it still caused Yan zhòng's horse to panic, and the war horse that was lucky not to be killed and injured by the explosion no longer paid attention to the cavalry on its back, and ran wildly in all directions.
Of course, this is not the most surprising scene, the most surprising scene will play out next. Another Mongol cavalry burst out of the smoke and pursued the remnants of the cavalry, knocking them off their horses one by one with a few volleys, thus annihilating them in one fell swoop.
The commander-in-chief of the Uzhumuqin tribe was obviously aware of the sudden changes on the battlefield, and immediately broadcast a thousand cavalry from the left flank of the tribal coalition army, which had already gained the upper hand, and rushed straight to the grenadier battalion like a whirlwind, allowing a Ming army infantry battalion to run rampant in the rear of the Uzhumuqin army, with unimaginable consequences.
Although the grenadier battalion was much faster than the average infantry, it was dwarfed by the rapid and unpredictable Mongol cavalry, and it was still too late to change formation. At this critical moment, the Mongol cavalry that rushed out of the smoke of gunpowder turned around and hedged against it after destroying the remnants of the army.
The two cavalry teams were facing each other, so that the Uzhumuqin cavalry had to turn around them. Zhang Shishi, the commander of the grenadier battalion, seized this opportunity and immediately ordered a change of formation to find a fighter and then deliver a fatal blow to the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division.
The cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe may have been motivated by their usual contempt for the infantry, and even if this infantry had just defeated a cavalry of 500 men of their own, they did not pay enough attention to it, but concentrated all their efforts on confronting another cavalry, which was also a Mongol.
"It's King Bekol Khan!"
The man who delivered the letter before suddenly shouted excitedly, Li Xin squinted his eyes and stared at the ever-changing battlefield, the reason why it was surprising was that it was a step and a ride, and the first cooperation actually had a seamless taste.
The cavalry of the Ao Han tribe led by Bikoer also seemed to be luring the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe to the front of the grenadier battalion, intentionally or unintentionally. Sure enough, just as the Uzhumuqin tribe was bent on pursuing the Bekoor department, it swept past the front of the grenadier battalion.
This swept was enough, and on the long front, thousands of flowering thunderbolts were thrown into the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe, and the same scene was played out twice in a row in less than a cup of tea.
Thousands of flowering thunderbolts dealt with thousands of war horses, and the result can be imagined, the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe was beaten with urine, and the original pursuit instantly turned into a wolf bèi fleeing for his life. The other Ko'er tribe then repeated the old trick, chased after him, and shot one of them to death. He then returned to cruising around the grenadier barracks, seemingly intending to continue to cooperate with it.
The scene on the battlefield was too dramatic, and if you weren't in the know, you would definitely think that this step and one ride and two people had gone through countless drills before it was so difficult to cooperate seamlessly. It seems that this Bei Kuoer is really a rare general, Li Xinyu sincerely admired it in his heart.
The victory of the grenadier battalion, although easy to come, did little to help the whole situation of the battle, and the left flank of the Horde coalition was on the verge of complete collapse. Li Xin immediately ordered the soldiers in charge of the flag to wave the banner, and at the same time ordered someone to beat the war drum and summon Zhang Shi to take the grenadier battalion of his headquarters to immediately attack the rear of the main cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, so as to relieve the strong pressure on the left flank of the coalition army.
Once the left flank of the coalition army completely collapses, the flank of the entire Three Guards Army will be completely exposed to the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, and the victory or defeat on the battlefield will be immediately seen.
At the same time, the rumbling war drums on the high slopes really attracted the attention of the grenadier battalion.
"Look, the general has a general order!"
Zhang Shi followed the expectations of his subordinates, and saw that the command flag on the high slope was constantly changing, and he was worried about how to deal with it next, and the general's military order came down. Annihilated more than 1,000 enemy troops in two battles in a row, which greatly enhanced Zhang Shishi's confidence, and he raised the Yanling knife in his hand and roared: "Brothers in the grenadier battalion, kill with me!" ”
Zhang Shi's style is not similar to Heisenberg's, and he must rush to the front in every battle, and his general flag will also rush to the front of the whole team, so the soldiers of the grenadier battalion only need to follow the general flag whenever they move.
The grenadier battalion was once again converted from a horizontal column to a column, moving rapidly towards the rear of the main cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, and the cavalry came and went like the wind, and kept repeatedly riding and firing at the front of the left flank of the tribal coalition with its speed, while the Soviet Department was responsible for entangling the left flank of the coalition on the day of the holiday.
Once they discovered the intention of the grenadier battalion, they could immediately change from active to passive when they were about to change formation, and they would be extremely fast with a stone, and almost all their strength would be exhausted.
Zhang Shi also noticed the seamless cavalry that cooperated with it, and when he was ordered to attack the rear of the main cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Division, he sent a liaison soldier to facilitate the cooperation again.
However, the liaison soldiers were killed several times by the Uzhumuqin cavalry on the battlefield, and at the moment of anxiety, he actually found that the other party had understood his intentions, and even took the first step to go straight to the left flank of the main cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe to attract their attention.
Zhang Shi couldn't help but sigh, not to mention the joy of this battle, the cooperation of this cavalry simply made him drink a bowl of chilled mung bean soup in the hot summer, and there was no discomfort in his body.
However, Li Xin was not optimistic, he was very aware of the situation in the grenadier battalion, and each grenadier had to carry one more weapon than ordinary infantry, in addition to carrying the standard musket ammunition and Yanling knife of the infantry. One flower thunder weighs several catties, and each person can carry up to five, roughly twenty or thirty catties, plus the weight of musket ammunition and Yanling knives, and the weight of a single soldier has exceeded fifty catties.
Therefore, the focus of the concern is on the grenadier's unique weapon, the Blossom Mine, which has been used at least three times in the previous battles, which means that the Blossom Mine they have left now is enough to use at most twice. The main force of the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin Department is as many as 10,000 people, and the previous attack on the left flank of the coalition army was only in turns, and I am afraid that even half of the full strength was not used......
However, due to the previous light enemy and the backlash of the "Nari Su Division", they were forcibly suppressed by the Uzhumuqin Department with a strong advantage of one move ahead. After several considerations, Li Xin decided that the only solution to the current situation was to slow down the collapse of the left flank of the tribal coalition army, buy time, and let the Chinese army crush the infantry of the Uzhumuqin Division, and then live all the time.
If the Uzhumuqin army was allowed to defeat the left flank of the coalition army first, it would lose everything, not to mention the next Qing court coalition army! Not only did Li Xin realize this, but I am afraid that even the chief general of the Uzhumuqin tribe knew about this, and the cavalry of the Uzhumuqin tribe, which had rarely rushed into battle in a hurry, actually began to charge into battle, trying to rush down the left flank of the coalition army in one go.
Li Xin always felt that the other party's main general was a little familiar, and his intuition told him that the person who could use this trick must not be a Mongolian, and perhaps it was unknown which familiar opponent it was, but after thinking about it for a while, there was no result.
The situation on the battlefield has all been laid out on the surface, and the response that needs to be done has been done, and the rest can only be left to fate. The outcome of the battle is no longer something that he Li Xin can control alone.
Kong Youde's voice rang in Li Xin's ears at the right time.
"General, the barrels of the cannon have cooled down and can be fired again at any time, will you still bombard him this time?"
Boom, of course boom, why not boom? Kong Youde's Second Artillery Battalion is arranged here, which is simply very suitable, because it is very high and has a wide field of vision, which is the ideal place for artillery. It is also located one mile in front of the center of the front of the battlefield, and the enemy cannot reach here, even if he wants to send troops to shoot men and horses, capture thieves and capture kings, he must first pass the front line.
"Change the target, aim at the cavalry in front of the left flank, and keep hitting me until the barrel is red!"
Kong Youde was very excited, since he joined the Three Guards, he has not had a sense of zài, all the limelight of the artillery has been occupied by Heisenberg's red-haired ghost, this time he finally has the opportunity to raise his eyebrows and show his strengths.
Although the red-haired ghost is not afraid of death, he rushes to the front every time, but this time he also suffers the loss of rushing to the front, after the first few rounds of salvos, because the opponent's infantry is too brave, the impact of the front and rear soldiers is not dead, only the infantry battalion can withstand it, and in desperation, it has been nested behind, unable to join the battle on the frontal battlefield.
As soon as he fired a volley, he was stunned when he heard the sudden shouts that rang through the valley on the battlefield, and when he looked up to investigate the situation, he was stunned.
"Fuck, isn't this a dream?"
