See this scenario

Admiral Taylor's face turned pale, and it took a moment for two words to be squeezed out of his teeth; "Shameless!"

Everyone knows that the revolver musket has little power, the effective killing distance of ordinary revolver is about 50 meters, and the cavalry revolver musket has a longer barrel and increased the amount of gunpowder, which can barely expand the effective killing distance to about 120 meters to 130 meters, which is already the extreme.

Here's the problem

At the ultimate killing range, the rifer musket bullets were not powerful enough to break through heavy cuirasses.

Most of the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom who were killed or wounded were unlucky, and the bullets hit the face door, or in the arms and thighs, so there were only a small number of casualties.

Most of the bullet power was absorbed by the cuirass, and it was lonely.

On the other hand, the U.S. army was miserable, these light cavalry were 100% able to bear the power of the revolver, and even after escaping, they were still chased and beaten by the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom from behind, and the corpses stretched for more than 2 kilometers.

It was a completely unequal battle, and General Taylor had suffered such a big loss, and he was full of anger and could not vent it, and asked with a blushing face; "Are you sure there is no ambush in the forest?"

"No, Your Excellency, we have all scouted carefully, and there are neither ambushes nor terrible heavy machine guns."

"That's good, order the artillery to go forward and bombard the enemy indiscriminately."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The U.S. artillery immediately took action, whipped their horses, and dragged 24 9-pounder Napoleonic cannons out of the rear of the ranks.

Seeing from afar that the U.S. army launched field artillery again, the heavy cavalry of the Tang Kingdom was like a frightened rabbit, and immediately turned their horses and fled.

This time

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom retreated seven or eight kilometers to the rear, almost retreating from the range of the wild forest, and also gave up the narrowest section of the original occupation, the grassland from the forest in front of them to the river bank was much wider, and the distance between the two expanded to more than 850~900 meters, and the battlefield was more open.

No way

Admiral Taylor pinched his nose and commanded the army to press up, and once again sacrificed 24 9-pounder Napoleonic field guns, preparing to use artillery fire to force the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom to continue to retreat, and the two sides fought a decisive battle in the vast field.

That's the case

The U.S. light cavalry was able to make full use of the vast space to fight flexibly, so that they would not be unavoidable and crushed by the enemy's cuirassier heavy cavalry.

Which is stronger or weaker lies in being able to flexibly apply the strengths of the other side and restrain the weaknesses of the other party.

Cuirassier heavy cavalry is only unstoppable in a specific battlefield environment, as long as there is enough space to dodge and fight, the light cavalry is not impossible to fight.

General Taylor was convinced;

As long as the US military adopts reasonable tactics, it will be able to bite off a piece of meat on the opponent and inflict heavy losses on the enemy.

The U.S. troops continued to press, and did not stop until they were about 1.5 kilometers away from the cavalry queue of the Tang Kingdom, and then, for the third time, they pushed 24 Napoleonic guns to the front of the array, ready to shell with all their might.

Oddly enough

At this moment, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom did not retreat in half a step, and the demon king Richard in golden helmets and golden armor exuded a coldness that no one could approach, and his fingers waved forward slightly.

A sharp whistle sounded, and I saw a large number of soldiers in the forest on the left throwing away the camouflage of grass and trees on their bodies, revealing a full 27 storm heavy machine guns, which were separated by more than 30 meters, and each heavy machine gun was guarded by six soldiers.

Sudden change

Admiral Taylor's face turned pale with fright instantly, and he shouted loudly; "Oh sellga, this is a storm heavy machine gun trap, a death trap, retreat, ...... quickly"

It's a pity it's too late!

Uh-oh......

The American artillerymen who were busy did not react at all, and when they were stunned, the storm heavy machine guns that had been hiding in the woods for a long time opened fire angrily.

In an instant

27 Grim Reaper fire whips that seemed to come from hell struck the dense ranks of American cavalry, the skin and flesh were opened, and the stumps and severed arms flew into the sky with a thick blood mist, and the hot bullets pierced into the flesh and made a terrifying "fluffy and fluffy" muffled sound, and they were invincible.

It's just a few tens of seconds

More than 700 U.S. horsemen have been knocked to the ground, like a whole field of wheat that has been cut down, and the scene is terrible.

Seven or eight thousand American cavalry were crowded together, some wanted to charge, some wanted to retreat, and as a result, they were huddled into a mess.

The confusion was exacerbated by the fact that every white cavalryman was shouting in terror in the face of the extreme fear of death, and everywhere there was a wild shout and wail, and the officer's orders could not be effectively conveyed to the company.

At the right time

The machete in Richard's hand was raised high in the air, and the order to attack was issued, and the cavalry queue led by the cuirassier heavy cavalry slowly pressed up, followed by the light cavalry, and more than 4,200 horsemen pressed up.

The Storm Heavy Machine Gun continued to fire frantically, until its own cavalry occupied the firing range, and the barrel of the heavy machine gun that was already hot stopped turning, emitting a heavy smell of gunsmoke.

The cuirassier heavy cavalry of the Tang Kingdom rode their horses and galloped, and when the distance was close to 300 meters, they first put a row of flintlock muskets, inserted the holsters after the fighting, and then chased after the frantically fleeing American cavalry.

At this time, the battlefield was full of corpses, and the remaining about four or five thousand American cavalry pulled out their horses and fled, but they were desperate to see a dense Tang Kingdom cavalry in front of them, which had blocked the way.

This is the vanguard of the Gao Shiheng Department of more than 3,600 cavalry arrived in time, they have already arrived near the left to ambush, just waiting for the front and rear to catch the turtle in the urn.

At the forefront of the line was the San Francisco Cuirassier Regiment, the shining armor of the heavy cavalry of Ichisui was desperate to watch.

No one has forgotten...... The U.S. Third Cavalry Regiment fell into a near-one-sided massacre before it happened.

The U.S. cavalry subconsciously slowed down their horses, the fear of death grew in their hearts, and they looked around in a hurry, as if they wanted to find a way out.

With the forest on one side and the bone-chilling Missouri River on the other, the American cavalry almost lost the courage to resist.

At this time, General Taylor, who was full of misery, was crowded by a group of officers and fled on horseback, and soon the front was congested, and the officers in the middle could not drive away the soldiers in a hurry, so they could only shake Admiral Taylor's arm eagerly and shouted; "Mr. General, we are in a very critical situation right now, and we urgently need your command."

"Your Excellency General, wake up!"

"Oh my God...... General Taylor, what are we going to do? ”

The officers shouted loudly with fear, which relieved General Taylor from the extreme shock, his gaze regained spirituality, and after looking left and right, he subconsciously pointed to the Missouri River and said; "Quick, go down the river, there is still a way to survive across the river."

After speaking

He took the lead in shaking the reins, slammed his legs hard against the horse's belly, sat down and neighed under the pain, and jumped into the icy river.

With General Taylor's example, the surrounding American officers and soldiers panicked and jumped into the river one after another.

This side of the car

Richard led the cuirassiers to press up, and after a round of heavy rain, they slammed into the panicked cavalry camp of the American army with machetes.

At this moment, he slashed left and right to show his might, and there was no enemy everywhere he passed, and a bloody alley flowed out of his life, which was really like a demon king of the world, and his anger was monstrous.

Under the leadership of His Majesty the King, the heavy cavalry of the Tang Kingdom crashed into the US cavalry camp one after another, waving the sabre in their hands, and the US cavalry who killed them cried and cried for their mothers.

The chaotic battle lasted for more than ten minutes, and the American cavalry was killed and wounded, and nearly half of the casualties were killed, and the rest were also killed, and they dismounted and knelt down and surrendered.

After Richard's bloody battle, his body and the horse he sat on were all dyed blood-red, and it was all the blood of the enemy, which was really like a killing god.

He rode his horse past the kneeling American cavalry, and the trembling white cavalry bowed their heads to the ground, not daring to look up at all.

Richard's eyes were drawn to the hundreds of thousands of American cavalry swimming across the Missouri River, and he rode his horse to the riverside to stop and watch.

Many of the American cavalry in the swimming crossing had been frozen, and they left their horses under the push of the current, and soon disappeared into the water.

Some of the war horses in the river were struggling to swim forward, and some were already frozen numb, and let out a neighing wail, and could only float down with the current, seeing that even the lives of people and horses were not guaranteed.

At first glance, the Missouri River appears to be calm, but it is only when you get down the river that you know that the calm water is very fast, and the American cavalry who rushed into the river quickly carry it downstream.

With such cold weather, I am afraid that in the end, we can really swim to the other side.

As for whether he can survive in the end, there are still two words.

But compared to the American cavalry who fled into the forest, jumping into the Missouri River was not a way to escape.

The American soldiers who fled into the wild forest had little life, and if this wild forest continued to go deeper, it was a huge swampy area, and no one dared to go deeper, and the probability of survival was close to zero.

Suddenly

Richard felt a deep malice on his side, and at this moment, he raised his hand and threw the machete in his hand, and the 2.8-meter-long machete flew over more than 30 meters in an instant, and the powerful force penetrated and stabbed a US captain officer who had just stood up and fell to the ground.

At this time, this person already had a revolver in his hand, and he obviously intended to sacrifice his life to assassinate him.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Liu Wu and the other guards shouted at this time, and they surrounded Richard impenetrable.

"No need, the white man who can kill me hasn't been born yet." Richard waved his hand grimly.

Before dark

The results of the inventory are out;

In this battle, about 10,430 cavalry, the main force of the U.S. cavalry, was basically destroyed, 6,357 killed, 3,027 captured, and 1,046 missing (including U.S. soldiers who fled into the forest and jumped into the Missouri River, the number of survivors is unknown).

The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom suffered more than 270 casualties, of which 83 were killed in battle, and the rest were slightly and seriously wounded.

no doubt

In the battle of the Missouri River, the main force of more than 8,600 cavalry of the Tang Kingdom won a complete victory and achieved a legendary victory, which shook the American society and Europe, and created the myth of the invincible cavalry of the Tang Kingdom.
