Chapter 412: The Battle of Turning Around3

Mobile reading

"Their attacks have stopped," shouted an officer beside Russell, who nodded, although his dragoons and the infantry battalion beside him had surprised themselves in the battle just now, but now it seemed that the Yankees on the other side were doing even worse, and this was only after the first round of shooting, and the group of menacing archers were already holding their heads and running away.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" "Assemble, assemble!" "Turn right! Get in line! "Queue up!" The officers of the Infantry Battalion who had been disgraced before saw that the dragoons around them had helped them find the field, and they finally got some comfort in their hearts. The soldiers were no longer threatened from afar, and at this moment they all regained their previous courage, and one by one they began to regroup with their heads held high and holding the muskets in their hands.

Under the command of the officers, the formation of the Southern Army was quickly arranged, and there were a total of six infantry battalions rushing to the battlefield, each battalion of about 100 people, and each infantry battalion was arranged in three rows on the opposite side of the Northern Army to form a rectangular square formation. At the same time, the dragoons also packed up their personal belongings, returned to the area of the bollard horses, and climbed back on the horses.

Russell knew that in many previous battles, the Southern Army had sufficient ability to face the Northern Army, but it suffered from a lack of cavalry, and could only fight the battle into a rout every time. It was for this reason that the Medeno Staff decided to arrange Russell's regrouped dragoons to fight here.

At this moment, the dragoons were eager to try, the carbine was on their backs, which had already been loaded with bullets, and there were several short muskets poked horizontally and vertically on their belts, and many cavalrymen even drew out their cavalry knives and polished them carefully, lest they not be sharp enough when they were in battle.

The soldiers of the infantry battalion are now all in full array, holding axe guns in the hands of the soldiers at the forefront, the barrels of these axe guns are three or four meters long, the tip of the spear is at the front, and the middle section is the axe, which can not only be used to poke, but also can be used as an axe to chop, which is quite lethal when the crowd is dense. The soldiers in the second row carried the new muskets that had been loaded, the hammers of these muskets were opened, and the cauldron also contained propellants, which could be fired as soon as they were fired. One by one, they excitedly waited for the officer's order, looked at the soldiers of the Northern Army in the distance, and from time to time aimed their muskets at the opposite side.

The array of the Northern Army was much more chaotic, because it had to fight against the long-range shots of the dragoons, so it not only scattered the formation, but also squatted on the ground to reduce the hit rate of the dragoons, but now with the officers and soldiers of the more than 700 infantry battalions entering the battlefield, the five or six hundred people on their side are no longer enough. The officers also knew that the infantry battalion on the opposite side was a firearms-based unit, so it was better to leave it alone than to gather the ranks now, and let the soldiers stand in the same position as they were now, and wait until the enemy advanced to a distance where they could attack.

The ground is far and cool, and the sun is cold

"First row! Shoot! Seeing the signal flag waving vigorously behind him, Shu shouted loudly, "Shoot, shoot!" ”

A thick smoke immediately rose in front of the entire Southern Army's front, and the soldiers of the Northern Army saw flames erupting from the smoke, and their hearts were secretly unpleasant, and then they heard a large whistling sound in the air, followed by a dense rain of bullets fired by the infantry battalion. The soldiers of the Northern Army collapsed almost immediately, they had already experienced the power of the Southern Army's musket salvos more than once in many previous battles, and the blood splattered and screamed under the dense rain of bullets, making people feel as if they were in hell. The soldiers got up and turned to run at the screams of their comrades, and more were hit in the back by stray bullets and fell on the grass and did not move. The officers came back to their senses in terror and shouted loudly to calm the soldiers, but no one listened to their orders, only to run into the woods with their heads down, anyway, running into the woods, the branches and leaves of the trees could not only block the enemy's sight, but also block the rain of bullets falling from the sky, and even the overgrown bushes could block the enemy's pursuit, and they had fled all the way here by the woods that Annan could see everywhere.

"Escaped again!" Shu Da couldn't help but scold angrily and shouted loudly, "All bayonets!" Impact! ”

The soldiers of his infantry battalion drew their allotted bayonets one after another, and blocked the handle of the bayonet directly to the muzzle of the gun. This method of installing the bayonet is absolutely unfocused, which not only threatens to damage the structural strength of the muzzle, but also prevents firing from the muzzle of the bayonet. The new muskets of the infantry battalion were issued with special bayonets, but after several uses, they found that the metal strength of the bayonet mounts of these muskets did not meet the requirements, and some of them broke directly due to repeated stabs in battle, and some even broke only during training, so they had to plug the handle of the bayonet directly to the muzzle. Since there is no uniform standard for the size and thickness of the bayonet handles of the Medeno and Yaning people, it is almost entirely based on the feel, so the bayonets issued by the soldiers often cannot be put in at one time, the thick ones cannot be entered, and the thin ones will fall out directly, and they have to be padded with things next to them to prevent them from slipping.

Sun Qiu Keke's ghost knotting technique is connected by the knot

Shu Da looked around for a moment and made sure that the soldiers had already installed the bayonets, so he pulled out the original junior officer's command knife that he had brought out from the defection of the Foreign Legion and shouted, "Rush! The soldiers shouted in unison, "Victory!" Win! Win! Then he rushed out under the swing of Shuda's command knife.

The originally neat queue of infantry camps dispersed in the next second, rushing forward like mercury. But at this moment, Russell was still in a daze, and he couldn't understand why the northerners on the opposite side collapsed after just one salvo from the infantry battalion, and his own dragoons obviously fired multiple volleys at them but failed to make them collapse. He was still in a daze, but the officer next to him came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "General! The enemy has been defeated and fled, should we pursue it? ”

"Pursuit! Pursuit! Russell came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Rush! As he shouted, he drew his cavalry knife and swung it forward, waving the reins vigorously, and the horses under his crotch suddenly neighed and galloped forward. The officers around him hurriedly waved their hands to the soldiers behind him and shouted, "Hurry, hurry! Rush up! "The four columns of the dragoons, under the command, began to charge forward quickly.

The distance between the two sides was only two hundred meters, and it could be said that the horse could be reached in the blink of an eye. The horses were sprinting quickly on the grass, the turf and dirt were lifted high, splashing the soldiers of the infantry battalion everywhere, and the soldiers did not care about scolding their mothers at the moment, but continued to shout and rush forward, if the dragoons rushed up and killed all the Yankees, wouldn't it be all the credit to the dragoons? Soldiers fighting are nothing more than to get promoted and make a fortune, whoever has the most credit can grab the spoils of war to their heart's content, of course they will not be willing to let the dragoons who have just joined the battle take the bulk of the spoils, after all, they are the main force that has been chasing and fighting behind the ass of the northern army.

When the dragoons arrived at the edge of the woods, most of the soldiers of the Northern Army had fled into the woods, only a few dozen people were still outside, some were ambulating the wounded, and some were on the side, seeing the dragoons rushing over, they also panicked and threw down their weapons and wounded, and rushed into the woods like a tree falling down.

"Phewβ€”" The dragoons reined in front of the woods, they rode on tall horses, almost three meters high, and in the low woods the cavalry had no hope of making an impact, they could only circle around the edge of the woods, cursing loudly at the group of fleeing northerners while looking for a path through the woods. Not far behind them, a large group of infantry battalion soldiers were rushing at a brisk pace, shouting as if they were playing a game.

After the hatred of the enemy, the ball battle is lonely

"There's a way here! Look! One of the scouts suddenly pointed to the clearly covered path and shouted, and the cavalry looked over to see that there was indeed a path in the distance between the trees, and that the side near the perimeter was hidden by a grassy undergrowth. Several dragoons hurriedly jumped off their horses and rushed to the front, dragging away all the covering bushes, showing the path that could allow two horses to move side by side, and the cavalry behind them followed the path.

"They're in the woods!" Shu Da couldn't help but be a little stunned, since he defected from the Foreign Legion, he had seen many serious violations of the "laws of war" on the side of the Maidno and the Annanites, but because he had always participated in this kind of barbaric war with no sense of art, he had never suffered any defeat. But at this moment, his heart suddenly jumped, and several questions couldn't help but pop up in his mind, why did the Northern Army fight him here? Why did they take the initiative to attack before? Why did you see the cavalry turn around and run as soon as they got on the field?

After the distant hatred of the family, the hatred of the moon ship is cool

Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned pale, and the huge airship illuminated by the fire in the night sky suddenly flashed in his mind, "Chinese!" Shu Da couldn't help blurting out, and his voice also attracted the attention of several of his old subordinates next to him, everyone shivered involuntarily, and looked at the sides as soon as their necks shrank, as if someone had put a knife on their neck.

After the distant hatred of the Queen's Circle, the hatred of the moon ship Kucha "pursuit!" Pursuit! Russell came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Rush! As he shouted, he drew his cavalry knife and swung it forward, waving the reins vigorously, and the horses under his crotch suddenly neighed and galloped forward. The officers around him hurriedly waved their hands to the soldiers behind him and shouted, "Hurry, hurry! Rush up! "The four columns of the dragoons, under the command, began to charge forward quickly.

Shu Da didn't care what the people around him thought, and his blurted out made him almost feel like an initiation, and suddenly felt that his head was like a paste before, yes! It is the Chinese, the Chinese Xingshi mobilized the crowd to send a huge airship to the northern army camp, definitely not to see the excitement, with Chinese weapons, food, equipment should be inside. But until now, he had passed by hundreds of corpses and wounded soldiers of the Northern Army, and the weapons they had dropped on the grass were all old and worn weapons, and many of the arrows they shot did not even have clusters. Now that the Chinese have come, why is the battle still fought no different from before? You must know that Qian Longzhou commanded the defense of Champa Port with fewer victories and no casualties in Champa Port, with Chinese urine, it is impossible not to send a few military instructors over, if you send military instructors to command and fight like this, except for the instructor Taishui...... Thinking of this, Shu Da couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body, and a word suddenly popped up in his head: "Trap!" If it weren't for the fact that he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, he almost howled out.

But this is only his speculation, and he cannot produce any evidence to prove his speculation, so he cannot use this as a reason to stop the troops from advancing. Besides, at this moment, the troops have already rushed forward like crazy, and even if they want to stop it, they can't stop it. He had no choice but to wave at several of his commanders and let them stop his men from continuing to charge. A soldier from an infantry battalion next to him slowed his pace and stopped in front of the edge of the woods. Shu Dawang went to lead the team turned out to be the veteran who defeated the dragoons with one enemy and two enemies, the battalion deputy was staring at the woods at the moment and frowning tightly, as if he was thinking about something, seeing Shu Da looking over, he shook his head quietly. Shu Da nodded, still thinking about what to do next, but saw more infantry battalion soldiers shouting Wan Sheng rushed into the woods with muskets and spears loaded with bayonets.

At the same time, an angry roar suddenly sounded around Shu Da, "What are you doing?" Why not continue to shock? "Do you want the enemy to escape?" He looked back, and it turned out to be several staff officers of the Meideno Staff Corps and the chief instructor of the Qianbu Battalion who had been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, "Shu Da! What's going on with you? Could it be that what you learned from the Chinese is to run away? ”

After the hatred of the ghosts, the hatred of the moon is the most

Shu Da hurriedly shook his head, "No!" Handsome! I just think there's a catch! ”

"What trap?" "It's clearly an excuse!" "If you run away, you should be shot!" Several staff officers of the staff group next to him shouted in a rambling voice, so that the commander-in-chief couldn't help but nod slightly, "How many times have we fought such a battle?" Those lowly Yankees don't know what war is, and they're still far from playing tricks with us! ”

"But the handsome!" Shu Da wanted to defend himself, but the commander waved his hand quite resolutely, "I don't want to listen to the reason!" Charge me now! Don't let the Yankees go, you're our best officer, so don't let us down! Hurry up! ”
