The battlefield situation was very complicated. Even with Tiger as a local guide, Tang Mo still felt unsure when walking on the path among the woods.
He looked at the dense bushes on both sides, and asked Tiger, who was leading the horse in front, somewhat depressedly: "Are you sure this path can go around behind the enemy?"
Tiger nodded firmly, and then pointed forward: "I'm sure! I've walked here twice, and I can definitely get to where we want to go."
It was obviously impossible to expect 30 cavalry to change the battlefield situation, so Tang Mo and the others set off all the way and the tactics they discussed on the road were basically to go around the back.
In terms of tactical penetration, when the troops are low, detouring behind the enemy and launching a crucial assault from a key position behind is basically their best choice.
Relying on the fact that Tiger was a local and knew the roads well and was familiar with the terrain, they did not rush directly to the battlefield. Instead, they made a small circle and chose to insert themselves diagonally from behind the Susas troops to the rear of the battlefield.
Weiss led the horse and followed Tang Mo, looking at the surrounding environment: "If we go wrong, it will be a lot of fun."
Behind him were other soldiers holding war horses. The reason why they did not ride horses was that the terrain here was too narrow for riding horses, and also because they had to save power and pay attention to concealment.
More than thirty cavalrymen were forced out of a queue of nearly a hundred meters by the slender passage. Everyone was very nervous, because the cavalrymen in this state were actually very fragile.
"Don't worry! You can't be wrong!" Tiger said again with great certainty.
"You can already hear the sound of gunfire. It should be right." Tang Mo listened carefully and nodded and said: "Everyone rest where you are! Weiss, Tiger, you two follow me!"
"If nothing else happens, there should be a forest ahead." Tiger pushed aside the bushes in front of him and moved forward one step at a time.
They wanted to go out a little further to investigate the nearby situation so that they could formulate a follow-up battle plan. Just as Tiger explained their current location to Tang Mo, Tang Mo saw that the bushes in the distance were gradually becoming sparse.
He lowered his voice and bent slightly: "Wait! Stop! There seems to be a forest ahead! Be careful to hide!"
With the cover of their gray-green coats, Tang Mo and others hid in the bushes without being very conspicuous.
Tang Mo gestured forward with his hand and reminded in a low voice: "Be careful! There is someone over there! Let's go and take a look."
When they carefully pushed aside the bushes in front of them, they saw through the gaps in the branches that in the open space at the edge of the forest, a group of Sussian soldiers were setting up their cannons.
The Sussian soldiers were very tired. They were hurriedly moving their field guns and unloading the shells from the carriages.
Tiger did a rough count and found that there were 10 field guns, all of which were Cyric field guns. They looked very new.
He retracted his neck, looked at Tang Mo beside him, and said softly: "They are soldiers from Susas! They are in the open space outside the forest!"
"Are you kidding me? Why are they here?" Tang Mo also saw the Sussians wearing blue military uniforms and frowned in confusion.
Tiger was also very depressed, because they did not expect this situation at all: "This place is at least 3 kilometers away from the battlefield preset by the Earl!"
According to their previous plan, Susas's troops should fight fiercely with Fisherot's main force farther west.
Here they broke out of the woodland and searched westward. They still had to walk a kilometer or two before meeting Susas' troops.
But now, Susas's artillery actually appeared here, which should have been far away from the battlefield. This is a bit puzzling.
"You mean, what are these Susas artillerymen doing setting up artillery three kilometers away from the battlefield?" Tang Mo asked Tiger as he let go of his hand holding the branch.
"I don't know why, but they did set up an artillery position here." Tiger thought for a moment, shook his head and replied.
"There aren't many people watching over it yet!" Wes added.
After saying that, Weiss laughed in a self-deprecating tone: "Okay now, aren't we going to raid someone's back? Just in time, the artillery position is right in front of us."
"It's possible that the Earl defeated Susas' troops and they retreated here to redeploy!" Tang Mo thought briefly and guessed a rough idea.
Wes was stunned for a moment, then a little unbelievable: "Can things really be such a coincidence?"
Tiger then looked at the Susas artillerymen who were playing with the artillery, and reminded Tang Mo who had not made a decision yet: "I don't know either, but our time is limited... we have to make a decision quickly."
Tang Mo calculated the strength of his troops: "We only have thirty people. Although we have 60 revolvers, we still have to be cautious."
In fact, this is already a good force. This unit can fire more than 300 rounds of ammunition in a short period of time, which is enough to defeat an enemy battalion.
What's more, the addition of the war horses charging together makes them more impactful and visually more powerful than they actually are.
But looking strong and actually being strong are two different things. His family knows his own affairs, and Tang Mo knows that his 30 cavalry can disrupt and attack by surprise, but an annihilation battle is definitely not enough.
Tang Mo, a military layman, could only come up with a satisfactory solution: "In a moment, we will mount our horses, rush over, kill all the artillerymen guarding the cannons, and then blow up all the cannons!"
"Is this the plan?" Weiss asked as he slowly retreated behind Tang Mo and Tiger.
"Probably." Tang Mo didn't speak until he was sure that the Susa soldiers at the edge of the forest couldn't see him anymore.
"Looking from a distance, it seems that there are quite a few of them. We probably won't have time to explode the cannons." Tiger put forward his own point of view at this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Is there any better plan?" Tang Mo thought that this was indeed the case, so he asked.
"Or, we can keep moving forward without looking back..." Tiger felt that taking advantage of his cavalry's mobility to penetrate the opponent's artillery position might be a better choice.
"Then we might all die here." Tang Mo was very dissatisfied with Tiger's suggestion.
Tiger also knew that this suggestion was very risky, so he suggested: "Sir! You and Wes stay, I will take the people there!"
"Are you kidding? The people you are bringing are all my treasures. It hurts my heart if one more dies. You still want to take them all and bury them here?" Tang Mo glanced at Tiger and shook his head.
"..." Tiger blushed and felt that such a decision was a bit too hasty.
Tang Mo clapped his hands, wiped the dirt off his hands, and walked back while saying, "Okay! Let's go back."
He walked back to the cavalry without saying a word and looked at these young faces. After this battle, he didn't know how many of these faces he would see again.
Thinking of this, Tang Mo felt inexplicably irritable. He got on his horse and ordered: "Get ready! Everyone, check your weapons! See if the flash caps are all installed! Check your saddles again!"
Following his order, all the cavalrymen began to get busy. They checked their weapons, pulled out their sabers and inspected them carefully. Then they calmed down their horses and checked their saddles.
"In a moment, everyone will line up and charge at the enemy's artillery position. Kill as many enemies as possible, and don't slow down the attack!" Tang Mo rode on the horse, looking at everyone who was also on the horse, and said as calmly as possible
The voice ordered: "If we can see more enemies after climbing over the low slope, then we will not look back and continue to attack!"
After hearing Tang Mo's order, Tiger was stunned, and then suddenly looked at the young figure. Something was tumbling in his body. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea: die for him.
.
"Attack!" Tang Mo pulled out his revolver, clamped his legs on the horse, and loudly gave the order to attack.
Before his voice could reach the ground, he saw a figure galloping forward and overtaking his horse's head. It was Tiger, holding a revolver in one hand and the reins in the other, getting ahead of him and launching a charge.
.
The knights following Tiger also rode forward one after another, surpassing Tang Mo, who was not very good at equestrian skills.
A Sussian soldier squatting in the bushes to solve a physical problem had just cleaned his buttocks with leaves. But before he could pull up his trousers, he saw a knight riding a tall horse galloping past him.
Before he could shake off the shock, he saw more knights rushing out of the woods and rushing towards the bewildered Sussus artillery position.
"Bang!" A gunshot echoed in the sky, and a Sousas officer who was just about to draw the musket from his waist screamed and fell down.
At the moment when the Susas officer fell, the Sussian soldiers who had just been busy carrying shells and setting up artillery immediately started scurrying around like headless flies.
As a result, chaotic shouts spread along with the chaotic retreat: "Beiling! Beiling's army is coming! Run!"
No one thought about resisting at all. These Susas artillerymen were chased by the cavalry behind them and ran all the way up the flanking slope that blocked their sight.
After just a few shots, Tang Mo's 30 cavalry defeated the Susas artillery force and left the unattended cannons behind.
Tang Mo was riding on a horse, being hugged by Weiss and two knights, and then rushed to the nearby small commanding heights.
Then, his vision suddenly opened up. In front of him, there were densely packed Sussus infantrymen sitting on the ground resting, stretching as far as the eye could see.
