Chapter 153: The Chase

The Yi Army was not a stubborn force, the casualties of 500 men had reached a limit, they could no longer bear it, and the open resistance to the Overseer was a very good example, according to normal circumstances, this army had already collapsed.

However, they can still hold on, mainly because Mi Zhenbiao is desperately pressing, he not only sent a supervising team, but also sent cavalry to patrol the periphery, as long as these people dare to escape, they will be killed on the spot, and put out two only machine guns to deter these people.

This kind of killing weapon did not deal with the Feng army, but was used against his own people, which has to be said to be a huge irony, but Mi Zhenbiao couldn't care about anything, he really couldn't afford to lose this battle.

Attacking the Feng army and taking the initiative to provoke a civil war, the pressure on Mi Zhenbiao's shoulders was very high, and Yuan Shikai in Beijing was definitely not satisfied with him, not to mention public opinion, and his actions had long been described as the new Opium War. Of course, if you win, it doesn't matter, public opinion will soon forget about this matter, and when Yuan Shikai is employing people, he also needs to win over local powerful factions.

However, once it fails miserably, it will be a catastrophe from which it will never be recovered, and there will be coercion by the Feng army, there will be abuse from public opinion, and there will be pressure from Beijing. And the Yi Army is not monolithic, he is trying his best to fight, and he has to bear the responsibility for the fiasco.

Mi Zhenbiao has even seen the scene when he was pointed out by a thousand people and was ruined, he was like a gambler, and he was eager to take out Zuihou's capital and realize the reversal.

Now the only complete thing in Mi Zhenbiao's hands is the cavalry team, a full two battalions of cavalry, in this kind of plain terrain, it still has considerable power. Mi Zhenbiao gathered all the cavalry together, ready to give it a go, and at the same time prepared the only machine guns and artillery he had.

Then he expanded the squad to two hundred, and mounted machine guns behind all the Willy. His wishful thinking was to let the cavalry rush out of a gap, and then the infantry followed regardless of casualties, broke the defensive line, and Tongliao fell into his hands.

The rumbling of artillery rang out again, and the brief calm on the battlefield ended, and the scattered shells of the Yi army smashed into the positions of the Feng army. The artillery of the Feng army was not polite at all when they saw that the artillery of the Yi army dared to speak. Quickly determine the position of the Resolute artillery according to their impact points.

Then the attack was launched, and the dense three consecutive shots covered all the remaining artillery at once, and a terrible martyrdom was set off on the position of the Yi army. A large number of shells exploded. All the soldiers around were affected, and there were stumps and broken legs all over the sky. In the face of the violent force of the explosion. People are like toys, their limbs are thrown into the sky, and then they fall again.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tinglan had a deeper understanding of cannonism, and the road to victory was blasted out with cannonballs. Of course, no matter how good the weapon is, it must be used by the right people. The artillery of the Feng army can show such a powerful lethality, or because Yang Yuting is well trained, otherwise it will definitely not have such a prestige.

Zhang Tinglan had already thought about it, after the end of the battle. Let Lao Zhang reopen the martial arts hall and train more professional artillery talents. The goal of the Feng army is not such a miscellaneous army, the real opponent of the Feng army is the Japanese, and now in the face of the Yi army, the Feng army is fully superior, whether it is artillery or personnel, it is overwhelming. However, against the Japanese, this advantage was reversed, and the Feng army had to fight under inferior conditions, which required the Feng army to have a more tenacious will.

Mi Zhenbiao didn't have the leisure to think like Zhang Tinglan at this time, as soon as he saw that the artillery was completely destroyed, his face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He really underestimated his opponent, Fengjun was not only well-equipped, but also well-trained, and he didn't want any recruits at all, Mi Zhenbiao even thought that this was a trap deliberately arranged by Zhang Zuolin, in order to let him get in.

There was no turning back arrow when he opened the bow, and Mi Zhenbiao couldn't care about emotion, he could only give an order, and the cavalry of the Yi army formed three arrows and rushed towards the position of the Feng army.

The palms of these recruits of the Feng army also broke out in a cold sweat, obviously this ancient military branch gave them great pressure, and the cavalry of the Yi army quickly rushed towards the Feng army's position, and they could already see the face of the other party in a flash.

At this time, all the machine guns of the Feng army fired, and the machine guns were a natural nemesis for the cavalry, although the cavalry also had extraordinary mobility, but no matter how fast the mobility was, it was not as fast as the bullets, and soon pieces of cavalry fell on the battlefield.

Swept by a heavy machine gun, his body fell under the war horse like a twisted rag, and the blood turned the white shijie into red, like a red plum in the snow, looking miserable and terrifying.

A large number of horses that had lost their masters were scurrying around, and the battlefield was a mess, and the cavalry looked amazingly powerful, but in the face of machine guns, they quickly paid a heavy price, and the recruits of the Feng army saw that the cavalry was nothing more than fooling, looking majestic, but in fact vulnerable.

Mi Zhenbiao saw the cavalry coming in pieces from a distance, and his heart was also convulsed, if these cavalry didn't work anymore, he would be completely finished, how much he hoped that a miracle would occur, these cavalry could quickly rush to the position of the Feng army, and then kill and slash all these Feng troops.

Perhaps God also took pity on Mi Zhenbiao, and after paying heavy losses, the cavalry of the Yi army finally approached the position of the Feng army, and the distance between the two sides was only about fifty meters, and there was only a trench and a mound in front of them to block it.

The knights of the Yi Army didn't care, the depth of the ditch was less than a meter, and the height of the ridge was less than a meter, for the cavalry, as long as they jumped hard, they could easily pass it, which was a piece of cake.

Finally, the first horse jumped up, and the two front legs fell neatly on the ridge, and then the horse's legs suddenly slipped, and the horse screamed, and then slipped down, and fell into the trench, seeing that the two front legs had been broken.

At this time, the other cavalry suddenly realized that this simple fortification was not simple, so some people urged the horses more vigorously, jumped higher, and successfully crossed the ridge. But that was the end of the good fortune, and the horse's two front legs plunged into another trench.

The huge momentum made the war horse almost unbearable, and the bottom of the ditch was also covered with ice, and the war horse was unstable on its feet. rushed forward, and the two legs hit the edge of the trench again, and suddenly they were also broken, and the white bones were exposed, and even the men and horses became the living targets of the Feng army, and they were instantly beaten into a sieve.

More than a dozen cavalrymen shiyan crossed this trench in different ways, but all failed, and even the most haode war horses could not cross two trenches and the middle ridge at once, so a point of focus was needed. However, the moats and ridges were covered with thick ice, and it was impossible to gain a foothold.

Of course, there were lucky ones who did not suffer serious injuries and did not suffer serious injuries, but also lost the advantage of speed and stopped all at once. In this way, they became a natural target for the Feng army, and the machine guns and rifles of the Feng army were all aimed at them.

The scene from the first battle is revealed. However, it turned from infantry to cavalry. But it was even more cruel, a large number of war horses broke their legs when jumping, the knight and the war horse fell together, and some unlucky people were directly pressed on the cold battlefield by the war horse, unable to move, and could only lie down and wait for death.

At this time, these veterans of the Yi Army also woke up like a dream. It turned out that the fortifications of the Feng army were so vicious, they were simply the nemesis of the cavalry, and these guys were all greedy for life and afraid of death, knowing that they were dying. No one wanted to be stupid, so more and more soldiers gathered on the side of the mound, and everyone was staggered.

Mi Zhenbiao saw this scene from afar, in fact, when the infantry attacked, this situation appeared, and now the cavalry is like this, Mi Zhenbiao finally felt bad, seeing that the cavalry gathered more and more, and the artillery of the Feng army found the most haode attack target.

A cannonball smashed down unceremoniously, and soon caused astonishing casualties, a large number of cavalry were blown to pieces, the sky was covered with blood, and countless human parts were scattered all over the ground. Not only people, but even war horses were not spared, the black corpses covered the ground, and the strong smell of blood pierced the nostrils, this is simply not a battlefield, but a hell on earth.

In about an hour, more than 400 cavalrymen were killed in the charge, and more than 200 were wounded, and more than half of their combat effectiveness was lost at once.

At this time, those cavalry masters finally couldn't bear it anymore, they still had wives and children, so they turned their horses and began to flee frantically.

Zhang Tinglan expected this result when the cavalry attack was blocked, so he called Wu Kaijie over early and asked him to lead his cavalry to quietly outflank the Yi army from the side, and launch an attack as long as they were defeated.

Zhang Tinglan also specially instructed Wu Kaijie to focus on the leader, catch the big fish, and hand over the rest of the infantry to the independent brigade to solve. Wu Kaijie also nodded yes, in fact, today's battle also completely opened his eyes, an inconspicuous fortification can exert such a huge power, and the invincible cavalry will be completely defeated.

You must know that Wu Kaijie also grew up in the cavalry unit, under Wu Junsheng's training, he knows the cavalry tactics very well, and he can't stop measuring it in his heart, even if his cavalry encounters such a lack of morality, there is no way but to be beaten passively.

Therefore, he admired Zhang Tinglan and was afraid, this young man who was similar to himself was really terrible, not only could he turn stones into gold in the middle of his hand, but he was also so powerful in commanding the army, he was simply an all-round talent.

After hearing Zhang Tinglan's order, he did not hesitate, and took his three hundred cavalry to set out together, each with two war horses, this method is still the experience learned from the Mongolian bandits, the two horses are alternately ridden, and they can achieve long-distance running.

Now Wu Kaijie is also using this method to catch up with the Yi army, they bypassed the frontal battle line and quietly maneuvered to the rear of the Yi army.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield was already clear, and those cavalry of the Yi Army turned their horses and rushed towards their own ranks frantically. One of the characteristics of these ruffians is that they never attack as fast as they escape, especially these cavalry, who desperately whip their horses.

Regardless of running away, the infantry who were waiting to attack were also dumbfounded, the cavalry did not fight the Feng army, but turned around and charged at them, who could stop them, these people did not want to die in vain at the hands of their own people, so they fled one after another.

Mi Zhenbiao originally prepared a supervising team in the rear, but seeing the cavalry back, they were all scared stupid, what is the defeat of the army, now Mi Zhenbiao has experienced it, he threw all the capital of zuihou into it, and now he has no return, and it is the greatest luck to be able to save his life.

He also stepped on his war horse, and under the protection of his personal guards, he fled quickly, and without the command of the head, the entire Yi army was scattered, like a fly without a head, scurrying around.

Wu Kaijie finally waited for the most haode opportunity, when he chased the death and chased the north, no one could let go, he commanded his cavalry, like a sharp sword, directly to the Yi army. (To be continued......)
