Chapter 184: Reversal of the Situation
The hesitation and fear on the battlefield, for anyone on both sides of the war, meant that death was already close to him.
The rebel attacking forces were no exception.
At the moment when they hesitated, the second round of hundreds of grenades had already arrived, appearing directly above them...
After the sound of dense explosions, more than 100 rebels fell on the battlefield, either dead or wounded.
"Disperse, disperse immediately..."Seeing the subordinates in front of him, who had almost lost more than half of them, the rebel commander had to roar loudly with a solemn face, hoping to reduce the casualties of his troops.
Even against the rifles of later generations, heavy machine guns...... Automatic weapons. Scattering forces to attack is the best way to alleviate casualties, not to mention the very slow-firing muskets and grenades loaded with black powder.
So, as soon as the rebels divided their forces, their casualties began to decrease dramatically.
The rebels, who were separated in a straggler formation, also advanced step by step towards the position of the Tiger and Par Army with the casualties they could bear.
Just when the rebels were about to rush to the position of the Tiger and Par Army in the face of an increasingly sparse rain of grenades. The roar of shaking the mountains suddenly reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield from behind the hills.
As soon as the roar came, the battlefield under everyone's feet began to tremble.
Following the direction from which the voice came, there was a cavalry of more than six hundred men, all armed with iron armor. It was like a sharp sword that emitted a cold light, and at a very fast speed, it quickly plunged into the battlefield where the battle was being held.
The musketeers, who were fighting to the death in the hills, were the first to react from the shock. Then, a hint of surprise from the heart. Quickly surged into their hearts. Because. They only glanced at the cavalry. It was clear that these cavalry were reinforcements sent by Wei Zheng.
The rebels, who were only the last twenty paces away from the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army, saw the roaring ironclad cavalry, and immediately realized that the victory they were about to achieve was gone. Not only that, but his life may not be saved.
When the thick aura of death quickly spreads across the battlefield. The unstoppable ironclad cavalry had already crossed the hill and swooped down from the flanks of their own attack.
"Boom ......"
With a dull crashing sound resounded on the battlefield. Without difficulty, the ironclad cavalry broke through the hastily assembled formation of the rebels, knocking them to the ground and trampling them under their feet......
After breaking through the only line of defense on the battlefield, hundreds of ironclad cavalry rushed into the rebel formation in a straggler formation, barely able to resist the cavalry.
Benz...... Chopping ......
In the face of the very skillful killing actions of the cavalry, the rebel soldiers with frightened faces, no matter how strong their foot combat ability is, they can't stop a surprise attack of the cavalry.
Of course, even if there are rebels wielding broadswords and slashing at the Haw Par soldiers on horseback. It only left a white mark on the iron armor of the tiger and leopard army, and it could not hurt the tiger and leopard army in the slightest.
Such a brutal unilateral massacre lasted only half a pillar of incense. It ended with the surrender of more than a hundred remaining rebels on their knees.
After handing over the prisoners and the bloody battlefield to the musket team, the hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, who had not been assigned to the rebels, directly under the stunned gaze of the musketeers, beat their horses and left the battlefield with the bloodstained sabers in their hands, and made a detour towards the rebels' flank.
At this moment, Zhou Yuhong, the commander of the rebels, was completely unaware of the two roundabout troops he had high hopes for, because the appearance of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army had completely disappeared from the rebel formation, and even a person who reported to him could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry.
Under the cover of all kinds of gunfire on the battlefield, Zhou Yuhong, the commander of the rebels, did not hear the two flanks of the position, the two cavalry raids that had just ended, nor did he listen to these two cavalry, and he was outflanking his rear with an unstoppable offensive......
Just when he was holding a monocular, looking at the frontal battlefield with a painful face, his subordinates who were constantly shot and fell to the ground. The battlefield beneath his feet suddenly began to shake.
The roar of gunfire on the battlefield could drown out the sound of horses' hooves, but it could not stop the trembling of the ground caused by the cavalry charge.
As a battle-hardened veteran, Zhou Yuhong's vigilance and sensitivity are definitely not covered.
The moment he felt the ground tremble, Zhou Yuhong immediately thought of the cavalry.
Then, he didn't care about his identity as the commander of the army, and subconsciously threw himself on the battlefield, his ears were close to the ground, and he began to listen to the source of this huge movement.
After trying to live with his subordinates, Zhou Yuhong's expression was still heartbroken just now, but it was covered with solemnity in a blink of an eye. Then, the solemn expression was covered with despair. As for the color of his face, it had become a miserable white, without the slightest trace of blood.
Seeing this, a trace of bad premonition quickly surged into the hearts of these subordinates.
Zhou Yuhong, who was lying on the ground, also quickly jumped up from the ground at this time, and shouted loudly: "It's cavalry, at least a thousand cavalry...... It's right behind us, and it's rapidly approaching us, rushing towards us......"
"A thousand cavalry attacked everyone from behind......" Facing this news that made everyone feel the breath of death in an instant. Except for Zhou Yuhong himself, everyone was on the spot, their faces were pale and at a loss......
At this moment, Zhou Yuhong's roar full of urgency reached everyone's ears again and woke everyone up.
"What are you doing here, are you waiting to die......?"
"We didn't have a cavalry unit formed in the city, so these cavalry must be officers and soldiers, and they also want to destroy our officers and soldiers......"
"We have only two thousand infantry here, and we don't have archers and musketeers yet. If we let this cavalry rush into our position, then we are all finished......"
"If you don't want to be killed by the cavalry of the official army, immediately gather troops to the rear and meet the cavalry units of the official army. Even if you fill it with human lives, you must also block the cavalry of the official army. Otherwise, we are all finished, and none of us will survive. ”
Under the threat of death, the hearts of the two thousand rebels were filled with fear. However, they were still in the roar of officers at all levels, and quickly assembled to the rear.
Soon, more than five hundred people were gathered directly behind the position.
The spears that emitted a cold light were like a forest of guns, pointing straight in the direction of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Not only that, but under Zhou Yuhong's constant reprimand, there was a steady stream of sought-after players joining the spear formation.
At this time, the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army, who only heard its voice and did not see its people, finally appeared in the desperate eyes of the rebels.
Under the sunlight, more than a thousand ironclad cavalry, like more than a thousand sharp swords emitting a cold light outward, quickly rushed towards the rebel spear array at an unprecedented speed. (To be continued......)
