When the sky began to brighten, the frenzied attacking Jin army withdrew, and when the night attack turned into a strong attack, the brave tribal warriors took advantage of the cover of the night, and rushed into the fortress several times, causing certain casualties to the Phoenix Legion, but they failed to hold the results, and were blown up by the bitter acid thunder that made people turn over on their backs, with heavy casualties, and the battle losses were as high as 5,000, plus the battle losses during the day, the casualties were nearly 10,000, which frightened Yue Tuo and had to order the withdrawal of the army.

The population base of the Guanwai tribe was originally small, and one less died, and nearly 10,000 losses were lost in a day and a night of fighting, which can be said to be a heavy loss, Yue Tuo could not afford such a consumption, so he could only order the withdrawal of troops and find new fighters. Of course, he has another arrangement, but I don't know if he has succeeded in it.

On the endless grassland, Gao Jie, as the commander of the rear army, is leading a large army to march slowly, and the long queue marches in two queues, in the middle of which are two parallel carriages, which are full of military supplies such as grain, grass and ammunition, and more are full of felled stumps, wooden planks, cement, pebbles and other gravel blocks, which are the main raw materials for construction.

The rear army is responsible for the transportation of logistics materials, because it has carried countless military supplies, and there are a large number of civilian workers with the army, the speed of the rear army is very slow, and even the main force of Hong Chengchou's Chinese army has opened a whole day of distance, but Gao Jie is not worried, his Royal Guard Battalion has experienced the real consideration of blood and fire, although it has been expanded into a division-level unit, and a large number of new recruits have been added, but the old and the old are combined, and the old is brought with the new, after more than a year of training, he is confident that he can deal with all emergencies.

The establishment of the Royal Guards Independent Division is 13,000 men, 10,000 soldiers, including a reconnaissance unit of 400 cavalry, and 3,000 auxiliaries, but even logistics auxiliaries must also receive all military subject training like soldiers, and can be put into battle at any time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are 13,000 soldiers.

There are more than 30,000 young people who are responsible for the transportation of military materials, plus more than 20,000 construction workers who have been recruited, in fact, there are nearly 60,000 logistics personnel in the entire rear army, and the vast majority of them are young and strong, although these young people have not been trained, they can only take up arms and go into battle, because everyone knows that in this vast grassland, people's two legs can't outrun a four-legged war horse, either fight to the death, or be captured as slaves, there is no choice at all, this is also where Gao Jie's confidence lies.

Of course, he did not dare to be careless, but nearly half of the 400 cavalry reconnaissance troops were dispatched, and several teams of reconnaissance cavalry went out for several miles to reconnoiter before and after, and once the enemy situation was discovered, they were warned by bamboo whistles, the grassland was vast, the terrain was flat, the field of vision was broad, and each reconnaissance team was equipped with a monocular, so it was not easy for the Jin army to ambush and sneak attack.

The team was marching, and there was a sudden burst of piercing bamboo whistles on the left, and from far and near, Gao Jie ordered the whole army to stop advancing and form a formation on the spot.

Under the orders of officers at all levels, groups of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition marched forward more than ten paces and formed a defensive phalanx, while the convoy slowly moved closer to the middle, the carriage pulling the Franc machine gun turned, and the artillery unloaded the car and set up the Franc machine gun, waiting for the formation.

Yue Tuo's rear hand was actually to attack the logistics and transportation line of the Ming army, he sent his capable generals Hai Dazhen and Suburi each 5,000 elite cavalry around a large circle, raiding Gao Jie's rear army, it is best to grab important military materials such as grain and grass, and if you can't grab it, you have to set a fire to burn it out, and the Ming army will run out of food and collapse without a fight.

The first to attack from the left flank was Haida Zhensuo's department, five thousand elite cavalry like a flood lacking embankment, swept towards the long dragon of the Ming army logistics transport team, however, the prairie is vast and flat, and the big man was discovered by the reconnaissance cavalry who went out to reconnoitre, with a bamboo whistle to warn, Gao Jie calmly set up the formation, and the whole team did not appear too much panic, these have been trained before.

The distance between the two sides is still relatively far, Haida Zhen's 5,000 elites are still advancing at an even speed, the soldiers of the Royal Guards Independent Division have set up defensive formations under the orders of officers at all levels, and the coachman behind is busy leaning together the wagons and ox carts full of supplies, which can be used as improvised fortifications if necessary.

"Warriors, kill me!"

Hai Dazhen roared loudly, and rushed to the front first, followed by five thousand tribal talents, who threw down their saddles and leaped on their horses, let out an earth-shattering roar, and launched a charge towards the Ming army.

"Steady, steady, don't panic, whether it's a person or a horse, it's still the same if you eat a gun, there's nothing to be afraid of, listen to my command, the first row is ready." The officers commanding in front of the battle shouted loudly to calm the nervous soldiers and boost their morale.

Due to the low production and other reasons, the Royal Guards Independent Division was only equipped with 3,000 rear-loading guns, the others were all front-loading Lumi guns, and the bitter acid thunder was only equipped with a small amount, and there were nearly 100 Franc machine guns, and the logistics transport team was originally carrying all kinds of military supplies and heavy cannons, as well as a large number of guns and ammunition, and a lot of Gao Jie squandered, but he only ordered the use of 30 Franc machine guns.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The farthest range of the Franc cannon was the first to fire, one after another flowering shells whistling out, smashed down on the grass, dense cavalry group, exploded a ball of fire and billowing gunsmoke, no more shooting, the first shell hit rate was low, but the 5,000 cavalry scattered the charge, even if there was no comparison, indiscriminate bombardment also had seven or eight flowering shells hit the target, the charging Jin soldiers were blown up on their backs, flesh and blood flying.

Boom Boom Boom ......

After correcting the coordinates, the landing point of the second flowering cannon was all smashed into the dense charging cavalry group, causing a lot of damage, but the artillery only had time to fire two shells, and the cavalry charging at full speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed into the blind corner of the range of the Franc machine gun.

The sound of hooves rumbled, the ground under their feet shook, as if to crush people's hearts, all the soldiers were so nervous that the muscles of the whole body tensed, in the face of the terrifying momentum of the charge of the five thousand iron cavalry group, even the veterans who had experienced a hundred battles could not help but be nervous, and the recruits who had never been on the battlefield were even more afraid, but at this time, they had no choice, either they were trampled to death by the war horse, hacked to death by the sabre, or shot by the political work officer who supervised the battle next to them.

"Listen to me, first platoon, shoot." The officer in command in front of the battle shouted loudly, and the command knife in his hand slashed down fiercely, giving the order to shoot.

Bang bang bang –

The platoon guns rang out, the smoke was billowing out, and the golden soldiers who roared and charged on the opposite side instantly screamed and fell off their horses, and some of the war horses made bursts of painful neighing, or collapsed with a bang, or people just stood up, throwing the knights on their backs away, and the knights who fell off the horse were trampled into meatloaf by countless iron hooves in the blink of an eye, and the bones were gone.

The tribal war horses are brave and fearless, one after the other, but in the face of the death net built by the dense rain of bullets, human life is fragile, pieces of war horses fall, throwing away the warriors riding on their backs, the unlucky ones broke their neck bones on the spot and died, the lucky ones broke their hands and feet, and they lay on the grass and struggled in pain, and most of them were trampled into meatloaf by the iron hooves that rumbled over.

"Rush, keep rushing for me!" Hai Dazhen shouted loudly, commanding his warriors to continue to charge, although the casualties were heavy, but the reinforcements from the side were coming soon, so that he and his subordinates had a soaring morale, and they planned to rush again, but if they couldn't do it, they could only hand it over to the brothers who arrived later.

On the flat ground in the distance, a cavalry army was rumbling and galloping, raising billowing dust and smoke to cover the sky and the sun, and all kinds of battle flags fluttering in the wind, at a glance, it was the battle flag of the grassland tribe.
