"Onward! No backwards! In front is where the commander of the Taiping army is, defeat them, and we will win! ”

The officers of the third group of German cavalry, bombarded by 12-pounder 10 mountain howitzers, shouted hoarsely, driving the cavalry that had been bombed by the shrapnel in all directions, and their morale was declining.

The cavalry is a level higher than the infantry, with better treatment and wages, and naturally chooses better soldiers to serve, and many cavalry itself is the original German knights with their own knights reorganized, and the courage to fight is far from being comparable to the soldiers trained by civilians.

The reason is simple, civilians serve as soldiers mainly to earn money and survive, but knights and their servants have a glory of their own.

If victory is achieved, the civilian soldier will get an extra trophy at most, but the knight officer will have a chance to go further!

The relationship between the nobles and the cavalry is somewhat similar to that of the generals and soldiers of the ancient Oriental countries, and they are both prosperous and loss-in.

However, although this relationship can make soldiers have higher combat morale, but it takes too long to cultivate, with the more frequent wars in modern times, a large number of firearms popularized, battlefield casualty rate skyrocketed, traditional professional soldiers have been unable to make ends meet, can only recruit a large number of civilians, and want to let civilians have a higher combat morale, naturally there is a set of encouraging rhetoric.

In the past, it was religious brainwashing, and later it was a combination and variant of various ideas such as ethnicity, loyalty to the monarch, and patriotism.

As a result, the battlefield became bigger and bigger, the efficiency of weapons killing people became higher and higher, and the casualties remained high, until an atomic bomb exploded, breaking the inherent laws of conventional warfare, and the spirit of bloodshed and sacrifice was completely crushed by science and technology, which stopped the situation of frequent wars.

Human beings are full of negative emotions such as violence in their bones, which is why war has always accompanied the development of civilization in human history.

Even if the human world enters a relatively harmonious 'era of nuclear peace', wars have repeatedly broken out in some areas, but the slogan of war in the 21st century is no longer plunder and conquest, but democracy and human rights......

Whether it is between countries or in society, there are too many unreasonable things, everyone knows the propaganda slogan that everyone is equal, but they still have to whisper in front of the boss and leaders and even engage in physical 'superiority', selling everything they can sell for a customer order.

Human society has never been equal, but in ancient times it was explicit inequality and in modern times it was implicit inequality.

What has never changed is that inequality happens all the time!

For example, this war was extremely unequal to the Germans, who had three times the strength of the enemy, and the German nobles invested most of their belongings and carefully trained armies, but they were completely defeated by an advanced weapon.

Now, they can only rely on flesh and blood, sacrificing themselves for their self-righteous 'chance of victory'.

Motivated by the victory, the third German cavalry successfully broke through to the position of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army defending in front of the 12-pounder mountain howitzer artillery position.

Then, it's a round of guns plus a round of grenade throwing!

Because of the speed of the cavalry charge, it would not give the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army a second chance to reload.

However, even so, the third German cavalry, which had suffered heavy losses from the shrapnel bombing, was completely scattered by the beating.

It was such a sloppy German cavalry, with the last desire for victory, that smashed into the bayonet phalanx of elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army, which had only two dissatisfied infantry regiments.

The third group of German cavalry was almost stepping out of a bloody path with the corpses of its own people!

The flintlock handcuffs in the hands of the German cavalry rang out from time to time, killing the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army who were blocking in front of them, and marched hard and slowly towards the 12-pounder mountain howitzer position!

The battle between the third German cavalry and the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army guarding was several times more fierce than the main battlefield in the distance, because both sides were desperately killing, desperately moving forward and intercepting!

As for the main battlefield, the first two German cavalry drew their swords more for self-protection, and worked hard to break through the encirclement of the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army......

The melee continued, a German cavalry with thousands of people, which was more than the two dissatisfied Taiping infantry regiments, although they were consumed a lot by shrapnel, lead bullets and grenades, but the number was also comparable to the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army who guarded, and the cavalry was condescending in the melee, and had a certain hand-to-hand combat advantage, and the cavalry was not only terrible when charging!

Therefore, in the battle of the artillery position, the German cavalry still had a slight advantage, but with the passage of time of the bloody battle, a small group of elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army continued to rush to this battlefield to support, and the balance of victory was getting farther and farther away from the German cavalry.

In the end, after the unwilling commander of the third German cavalry was killed, less than thirty percent of the remaining German cavalry failed to break through to the 12-pounder mountain howitzer.

The morale of the Taiping Army, which fought to the death, once again played a vital role!

However, after defeating the main force of the German coalition infantry, the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army were so laborious in the face of a large number of German cavalry with a total of more than 20,000 in the face of three surprise attacks, if Frederick's battle plan really succeeded, perhaps, today more than 20,000 elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army will be annihilated here, just like the Taiping Army once stationed in the Kingdom of Poland.

The morale of die-hard loyalists is not invincible, and a large number of elite troops with absolute strength and firepower superiority can still kill all the Taiping troops.

The battle ended at dusk, not because the two sides were completely decided, but when night fell, the enemy could no longer be seen as clearly as during the day, and the remaining German cavalry surrendered to the Taipings, and the rest fled the battlefield in the night.

Of course, it was scattered to flee, and the German cavalry had completely lost its formation!

The reason why the German cavalry did not surrender completely was mainly because of the excellent quality of these German cavalry.

Although the victory came a little later, the Taiping army still perfectly defeated the main force of the German coalition army, and since then, East Prussia has not had a large army in front of the Taiping army.
