Chapter 253 The First Battle of the Cavalry Brigade
Prince Kangying looked proudly at the military camp of the Suppression Army. Aren't you awesome? Aren't you more powerful in combat? But what's the use? Could it be that with such a long distance, you people can retrieve things from the air?
?
"Long live long live! Long live!"
"We must win, we must win, we must win."
The Huns' cavalry were shouting slogans loudly, and Prince Kangying also touched his beard and laughed happily. Lao Maozi asked us to make some noise. This noise is not small.
As long as there is no loss, we will make any noise if you want us to.
Um?
When Prince Kang Ying was feeling proud, he suddenly saw several big flags waving on the side of the Lu suppressing army. The momentum was quite large, giving him an ominous premonition.
Although I didn't understand what it meant, I felt a little bit in my heart that something bad was going to happen.
Gulu...
The uneasy feeling was getting stronger and stronger. Prince Kangying swallowed his saliva and was about to ask his men to investigate, but unexpectedly the ground seemed to be shaking.
not good!
The suppressing troops opened fire.
A cloud of dust rose up from the Suppression Army's position. If you had never fought with them, you would not understand what was going on. But if you had fought against them often, you would know that this was the Suppression Army's heavy artillery.
The eyes always see faster than the ears hear. When the people on their side saw the dust in the distance, they heard a huge noise, and then the sound of cannonballs piercing the air.
The first shell landed more than 300 meters to the left rear of Prince Kang Ying.
This is a 105mm heavy cannon.
When the cannonball fell, there was almost no vegetation for ten meters around it.
A large crater nearly four meters in diameter suddenly appeared.
It's just that the people present were surprised because they didn't have the skills, because such shells were almost everywhere. In just one minute, a team of two thousand people was completely destroyed.
"My lord, be careful."
Several guards rushed forward desperately and quickly pulled Prince Kang Ying back. The other people couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Now the entire queue was in chaos, and they didn't know where was safe.
"Run quickly, everyone, retreat quickly."
It was a pity that Prince Kang Ying ran back amid the crowd's protection. Others could not hear his words at all. The sound of the exploding shells was so loud that it suppressed all the surrounding sounds.
Many war horses were frightened and galloped in all directions. Many armies were already stabilized, but because of these war horses running around, these armies lost their organization again. The soldiers were everywhere like headless flies.
Running around.
"Cavalry Brigade."
Gao Shaoyi raised his left hand and ordered the cavalry brigade to set off.
More than 20,000 cavalrymen rushed directly towards the distant military camp like a sharp sword. The artillery shells looked very powerful, but they did not cause many direct casualties to the opponent. If you want to expand the results of the battle,
, our cavalry must be mobilized.
"Extended bombardment."
After the cavalry brigade was dispatched, the artillery commander immediately issued new coordinates, asking our artillery to fire farther to prevent the shells from hitting our own people.
Wen Zheng was in a very excited mood at the moment. When the artillery attack just now, Wen Zheng's heartbeat was nearly 30% higher than usual. He had never seen such fierce artillery. No wonder the suppressing army could achieve so many victories. With such artillery,
Under attack, no matter how strong the defense is, it seems so feeble and may be torn into pieces at any time.
Wen Zheng took out his command knife, then held the horse with one hand and pointed forward with the other hand.
This means that the cavalry can attack as a whole.
Just now, the formation of the cavalry was very neat. When the civil administration issued the order for the entire army to attack, the remaining cavalry fell on the horse, then held the reins with one hand, and took out the pistol from the waist with the other hand, and fired as fast as possible.
Head towards the opponent's camp at high speed.
"Master Marquis, the cavalry brigade is not slow. It has indeed put in hard work in training during this period. Your cousin is indeed a talent."
Boss Wang looked at the situation in the distance with his binoculars. Although this guy is not a cavalry instructor, he has seen many cavalry attacks on the battlefield. Although our cavalry brigade is not the most elite, it will never give up to the entire cavalry brigade.
The army draws points.
"This is a test for him. If he can succeed this time, he will immediately expand it into a cavalry division."
After this period of time, Gao Shaoyi discovered that he had made a mistake. He originally thought that a cavalry brigade was enough, but in a battle in a place like the grassland, the cavalry is indeed too important, especially when we have not yet achieved full mechanization.
, cavalry is the magic weapon for victory on the grassland.
One hundred thousand iron cavalry can level the world!
The ancestors of the Huns believed in this sentence very much, and Gao Shaoyi also prepared to form a hundred thousand cavalry, and then flatten the Xiongnu grassland, making it the northern barrier for suppressing the captive armies for generations to come.
Wenzheng's cavalry battalion has entered within 500 meters. If they had not been attacked by artillery, the Huns would have been ready to rush over at this time. But it is a pity that these people are now in a mess, although they consist of one or two thousand people.
The original formation, however, seemed too small in the face of the fierce attack of tens of thousands of cavalry.
When Wenzheng did not participate in actual combat, he knew how powerful the cavalry could be when equipped with pistols, and now the reality has finally been verified.
When more than 2,000 Huns cavalry rushed up, our soldiers did not slow down. Instead, they raised their pistols and started firing randomly at the front.
When the Huns saw these silver pistols, they immediately knew that they could not win. Although some people bravely rushed forward, they were all shot in the process.
At this moment, Prince Kang Ying had already run to the back of the camp. He could take a breath at this time. If he had run slower, he might have been sent to the west by those cannonballs.
"It's over, these two ten thousand people are finished."
Prince Kang Ying said helplessly, if there were only artillery attacks, the casualties would be around 3,000 at most, but now the cavalry of the suppressing army has followed, and wherever their cavalry goes, our army will retreat.
He is no match for others.
"Your Majesty, keep the green hills here and don't worry about running out of firewood. Let's run away quickly."
The few people who followed him said tremblingly that the cavalry of the Suppression Army could rush over in just a cup of tea...
