Chapter 1034: Heroic Blood Will Not Be Shed in Vain

And then there's the quiver. Compared with ordinary cavalrymen who only carried a quiver and fifty arrows, the soldiers of the First Cavalry Division in the world carried a full twenty and a thousand bows and arrows. It's also because what they do is get used to not having logistical supplies, so everything needs to be self-sufficient.

In addition, such as clothing, shoes and hats, stiff bows, extra sabers, etc. Fortunately, each of them had two horses, which could carry the weight. But also In'l greatly slowed down their advance. Now that the Sixth Young Master is in danger, as the nearest support army, the First Cavalry Division in the world must arrive as quickly as possible, even if it is a pillar of incense in advance, it may be able to change a lot of things.

"A regiment left two hundred men with surplus horses to move slowly, and the rest of the troops accelerated, except for the necessary weapons and dry rations, the rest were left behind, and it was our priority to rush with all our strength." Tian Hu took a breath and immediately made a decision.

Liu Duo only hesitated slightly, then immediately gave a military salute, and then began to convey the order to the messenger behind him. At present, the first division of the world's cavalry, which originally had 10,000 people, left 800 people, and at the same time, 10,800 war horses and a lot of logistics supplies.

Traveling lightly, without any constraints, and even Tian Hu, who had only brought rations for a day, made a trend of becoming benevolent if he was unsuccessful. He had already told everyone with practical actions that he must rush to the location to help the sixth young master in a day, otherwise, the food would be gone in the first place.

The cavalry of 9,200 people marched forward at a rapid pace, and everywhere they passed, there were bursts of smoke and dust, giving people the feeling of being in the dust.

On the barren mountain, because of the stealing of the camp, he won half a night of rest. By dawn the next day, the frenzied attacks began again. It seems that taking into account the factor of long nights and dreams, Tong Si once again issued an iron order, and he can only move forward and not retreat. At the same time, the reward for killing Yang Chendong was also raised, from the original 10,000 taels to the current 20,000 taels of silver.

For an ordinary soldier, this is definitely a shocking amount, which is equivalent to a rise from the poor class to a superior person, and you can eat and drink for a lifetime, which also greatly improves the morale and temptation of the soldiers.

Now it seems that if the officers and soldiers in the late Qing Dynasty had such morale, they would not have let the Eight-Nation Alliance, which only had thousands of people, come in. In the face of such an attack, the 5th Army Division was also undergoing the most severe test.

The ammunition was consumed too quickly, there was not enough supply, and it was already somewhat stretched. Of course, the most important thing is that the enemy is so fierce that many muskets are fighting continuously, and the probability of problems with them, which is not very delicate, begins to increase significantly. Things like dumb fire, jamming, and the inability to fire bullets due to the overpower of the gun body have repeatedly appeared.

Originally, the 5th Army Division, which had one hand and did not have too many spare muskets, had no choice but to pick up a bayonet and go into battle shirtless.

To say that Leng Feng's musket accuracy is good, and his ability to fight in close combat is also very strong. Once they are left back to back and form a three-three formation, the three of them can easily kill several times the number of enemies they are. It's just a pity that this time they faced too many enemies, and it is not at all a few times more described. Despite three days of fighting, the Siamese soldiers had already lost tens of thousands of casualties, and their battle losses were thousands of times that of the Five-Star Army. But when the musket can't play to its advantage, this battle damage value begins to decrease.

At about 10 a.m., after the muskets began to have problems on a large scale, to 1 p.m., when the battle was changed to close combat, a total of one and a half hours and three hours, the number of dead and wounded in the battle of the Fifth Army exceeded 1,000.

What's even more fearful is that this data is still improving, if it weren't for Yang Chendong from time to time to bring the Black Dragon Riders to join in and kill the enemy, I'm afraid that whether the barren mountain can be held or not will have to be said.

Such a loss is still not available after the establishment of Leng Feng. But no one complained, and when they became a glorious cold front warrior and became the object of envy of everyone, they were destined to bear the same weight of pressure, such as when facing a crisis, they were required to treat death as home.

"People use grenades, bayonets are less people, and muskets are ready to cooperate at any time, please don't be heroes, don't fight alone, and don't save people casually." Xiao Yining, the commander of the Fifth Division of Lu, said almost like crying. Just now, he didn't know how many soldiers with individual heroism took the initiative to rush to the enemy, and then with one enemy, several enemies, and hundreds of enemies, and finally died on the battlefield. He also saw that in order to save these lonely heroes, many soldiers rushed into the enemy camp like moths to a fire, and never came out after entering.

These are some good warriors, who have not flinched even in the face of death, and he rejoices to be the commander of these people, and he mourns the sacrifice of these people.

It's just that war is originally cruel, and when you go to the battlefield, you must have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, which may be the fate of some soldiers. But as a division commander, it is better to be able to die one less person.

It can be said that Leng Feng has experienced all kinds of training in the past, including winning more with less, and bullying less with more varieties, but like this, he has really not trained much with cold weapons to fight more with less. Or everyone subconsciously thinks that this kind of thing will not happen, and this is when they are facing it, there is some confusion.

Under the hoarse shouts of the division commander Xiao Yining, with the loud cooperation of several other regiment commanders, the 5th Army Division began to shrink its strength, reduce casualties and give up the territory on the periphery of the barren mountain. Yang Chendong, who was standing on the barren mountain, did not prevent this scene from happening, because he knew that this was not the Fifth Division of the Army giving up the battle, but welcoming the arrival of a greater victory in a better posture.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy's large-scale assault began again, and from a distance, the figures were densely packed, and at first calculation, there were at least thirty or forty thousand soldiers, who relied on the large number of people and shouted. In the face of the locust-like enemy, the 5th Army Division, which had only more than 6,000 people left, was not afraid, first threw out all the last grenades in their hands, and after blowing up a gap, they began a frantic counterattack, taking the company as a unit, like many sharp knives, and stabbing the momentum of the enemy's advance.

"Get on your horse and attack." When he saw this scene, Yang Chendong knew that the opportunity to fight back had come, so he jumped on the white dragon horse, and then he was the first to rush out wearing a blood-red robe, and beside him and behind him were a thousand black dragon guards, who also shouted and rushed towards the enemy with steel swords.

In the face of a dense enemy, the impact of the cavalry is still limited, and even if one of them is not well involved, it may become the target of the public, and there is no possibility of retreating or surviving. But no one was trying to back down at this time.

To be able to become a member of the Black Dragon Rider is originally a very loyal person, they usually enjoy the respect and respect of everyone, and now is the time for them to pay the same price. A thousand black dragon guards rushed into the enemy camp in this way, first constantly slashing and killing, and then they were scattered, surrounded, and finally there were thousands of holes on the battle armor on the body, and the black armor of the whole body, which was known as invulnerable, finally completed its mission, and could not protect them well, and became the object and target of the Siamese soldiers.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was finally dark again.

The arrival of the night troubled the offensive of the Siamese army, and by taking this opportunity, Yang Chendong and they could finally take a breath, and when everyone returned to the barren mountains and gasped, new battle losses were reported. There were less than 4,000 people left in the 5th Division, and even the Black Rider Dragon Guard had less than 800 left.

Even the Black Dragon Rider Guard killed more than 200 people, which shows the cruelty of this fierce battle. "They will not die in vain, their death is laying the foundation for our greater victory, their death is deserved, their death is worth it, and their death is glorious."

Yang Chendong said this and did this at the same time, he demanded that the list of all the soldiers who died in the war be reported to him, and all of them would be treated as martyrs, and their families and loved ones would be given the best care when they returned. To paraphrase Yang Chendong's words, "We can't let the heroes shed blood and tears, we can't let their souls be at peace, we want to let them go in peace, without any worries and scruples." ”

"Long live the Sixth Young Master." The team of more than 4,000 people all knelt on the ground at this moment, bowing to Yang Chendong and the god in their hearts.

The morale was still high, and many of the warriors had taken on a death-defying attitude, waiting for the next bloody battle, when they would probably fall and never get up, but they had nothing to regret, and this was their fate; There was nothing to worry about, because the Sixth Young Master had already helped them arrange everything.

The soldiers are not afraid of death, but some people are afraid of Yang Chendong's death. Xiao Yining and Yang Er walked in front of Yang Chendong together, and made a request with a serious face, in the next battle, they will try to rush and kill, and kill a bloody way to let him break out of the encirclement.

"Breakout? That's impossible. After figuring out what the two meant, Yang Chendong shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

Knowing that Yang Chendong would have such an attitude, Xiao Yining didn't care about his identity, and said resolutely: "Sixth Young Master, we are not asking for your opinion, but to tell you this decision. ”

"Are you going to forcibly tie me up?" Yang Chendong saw Xiao Yining's seriousness, so he pretended to be angry, and his face sank.
