The cavalry battalion commander turned his head again, looked at the Houjin army that had rushed past his side and arrived behind his array, and found that they had completely dispersed, and there were only a few dozen people left.

In fact, the horses that were driven around also affected the assembly of the soldiers of the Later Jin Army.

However, there is no need for him to care about this side for the time being, because one of his infantry companies has crossed the river and is firmly guarded over there.

Defended by an infantry company with flintlock muskets, such a small number of Houjin cavalry running past was not a cause for concern, and they could barely shake the line on this side.

The commander of the cavalry battalion, who was standing on the stirrup and looking around, knew this very well, and he knew that the most important thing now was to gather the cavalry that had crossed the river on his side.

So, he immediately pointed to the place where the cavalry on both sides was fighting, and shouted loudly to the four squad leaders on the left and right and ordered, "The spy platoon disbands the formation, takes the squad as a unit, attacks in a straggler formation, and responds to our cavalry." ”

The order of the battalion commander was very clear, and the four squad leaders immediately took the order and hurried towards the place where the melee was being fought in a unit.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion, who stood in the first row to form a rejection of horses during the previous battle, were a little stunned.

Because, there is no mention of them in the order, and these dozen scouts are not formed in a squad and platoon, but just now in accordance with military regulations, at the critical moment of losing their establishment, they obey the command of a higher-ranking officer.

The commander of the cavalry battalion saw that some people were stunned, and he also knew that his order had not been given completely, so he continued to shout, "Those of the reconnaissance battalion should form a squad." ”

Then he looked at the flintlock rifle in the opponent's hand, which could only be loaded with one round of ammunition and fired once, and added, "Go find your own war horse, and then, follow behind the special agent platoon, don't take the lead for the time being, and wait for the right opportunity to join the battle." ”

After that, he dismounted and marched towards the melee with the soldiers of the 5 squads.

There, the cavalry of both sides had almost lost their speed and were sticking together and fighting each other at close range.

Because of the narrow combat area and the inability to carry out tactical movements, many soldiers of the Houjin Army have already turned over and dismounted and started to fight on foot.

This caught the group of Chinese cavalry who specialized in practicing intensive cavalry formations a little caught off guard for a while.

According to the Army's operational regulations, under the establishment of mixed brigades, cavalry, infantry, artillery, engineers, baggage troops, and scouts are mixed together, and everyone supports each other in battle with their own professional abilities.

Although the cavalry also had a certain amount of training in foot combat, it was only shooting under the horse, and they had never been trained in close combat under the horse, which was not their professional skill.

Therefore, the Chinese cavalry over there is slowly at a disadvantage at this stage.

After the soldiers of the special service platoon arrived at the scene, they directly approached Houjin and carried out a series of rapid and crazy shooting.

Dozens of pump-action rifles with a 7+1 reload fired together, and the dense firepower caused by this was extremely amazing.

Although it is impossible to use shotguns because of the mixing of friend and foe, even if you only use one-headed bullets, the effect is already very good.

After the special platoon joined in the shooting, the soldiers of the Houjin Army, who were struggling to slash and kill, immediately couldn't resist.

Even if they are the most elite Bayala in the Houjin Army, as long as they are human bodies, when they are not equipped with protective devices such as body armor, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to withstand a 18 or 5mm caliber lead bullet.

The scouts who had just gone to find their horses had returned to the battlefield again.

Moreover, this time, not only the dozen or so scouts just now, but also the dozens of other scouts who were forced to disperse to temporarily avoid the front when the Jin Army Group was charging before, they were also pulled over.

With these riders with excellent individual combat skills joining the battle, the Houjin cavalry, which was suppressed by strong firepower and was facing the cavalry company, was even more demoralized, and began to retreat.

In the feudal era, on the battlefield, the largest number of enemies killed and injured was when the enemy retreated, and the Huaxia Army naturally would not let go of this good opportunity.

The cavalry unit was tightly pressed against the retreating enemy, and there were constantly Houjin soldiers, who were shot down by rifles on the way to retreat.

The cavalry did not pay attention to the fallen enemy, because, immediately, some infantry brothers, with bayonets, would go up and stab the fallen enemy to death in a few blows.

The cavalry battalion commander did not follow the cavalry to chase down a group of defeated Houjin troops at this time, but stood alone on the edge of the ferry.

He kept dodging the horses that were running around, and at the same time observing the soldiers of the Houjin Army who had rushed into his rear front. And he kept walking around, as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, the eyes of the cavalry battalion commander lit up, and he finally found the target he was looking for.

"That infantry cannon over there, come over to me quickly."

It turned out that the commander of the cavalry battalion was looking for an infantry artillery group that had crossed the river first, and he was lucky enough to find that group of artillery in this chaotic scene.

The infantry artillery group was the artillery members who followed the cavalry and scouts across the river before the brigade headquarters ordered the mounted infantry battalion to cross the river first.

It's just that this artillery crew looks at a loss, probably having never experienced this kind of chaotic battlefield where enemies and enemies are intertwined, and horses are running everywhere, and they are a little uncomfortable with this situation.

The commander of the cavalry battalion found that they were not too panicked, and in a few moments he had already unloaded the gun carriage from the horse, and the infantry gun was also wiped dry and loaded with shells.

However, after hearing the call, they did not act, and several members of the artillery were still in a panic looking for horses to pull the cannons.

Their horses, too, ran away in the chaos just now, "This group of recruits, if there is no horse, they won't push the cannon away!" The cavalry battalion commander ran over angrily, kicked and scolded.

"It's all XX over here, and you XX are still hiding here, hurry up and push the cannon over there."

As he spoke, he took the lead and started the gun carriage.

Under the leadership of the cavalry battalion commander, several gunners also hurriedly pushed the artillery cart to the rear together.

Over there, the miscellaneous horses ridden by the special service platoon of the mounted infantry battalion, as well as some of the horses of other units that had crossed the river in advance, had also run out. Now, there are still dozens of Houjin soldiers left over there.
