Chapter 373: Chaos
In the third column of dense queues, the cavalry roared with slender sabers in their hands, aiming straight ahead, with the help of hedging horsepower, no need to swing hard, as long as they grasped the handle of the knife when they met and staggered by, they could bring the limbs of the dance and a rain of blood.
The much sparse queue does have an advantage when facing complex terrain. This is especially true when the enemy on the opposite side stops and is unable to act. The scene almost turned into a personal martial arts competition.
However, no matter how sparse the formation is, it is impossible to pull away the stragglers, and there will always be some unlucky guys who will be assigned to bad terrain.
However, this is the battlefield, they can't choose freely, there is no way, being a soldier in a time of war is originally a job to tie their lives to their belts.
Even if there are piles of Houjin troops in front, this part of the unlucky soldiers can only bump into it with their hearts, and if they are lucky, they can survive by a miracle.
But most of the unlucky riders who were assigned to the not very good terrain could only be lifted high by the strong inertia, and then smashed into the Houjin cavalry array behind.
Of course, after losing speed, the Huaxia cavalry in the third column also immediately adjusted their direction and killed.
At this time, the Huaxia cavalry, which broke away from the first round of impact, had already regrouped in the direction of another flank of the Houjin Army and was ready for the impact.
Just when the third column of cavalry had just finished detaching, Battalion Commander Hou led the first column of cavalry again and launched a second charge.
According to the regulations on military operations, the supreme commander of the cavalry unit has the power to determine the timing, frequency, and manner of the assault during a charge.
In Camp Commander Hou's opinion, now is a great opportunity, and of course he will not hesitate.
It's a pity that there is no time to reload the flintlock revolver, which is easy to use, but the complex flintlock mechanism and chamber loading method cannot be used continuously.
It takes at least three to five minutes to reload a bullet, and with such a long time, the enemy's side is probably ready to charge again, and where will they stay fixedly, waiting for their own side to attack.
At this time, the Houjin cavalry formation had already met with all the horses, and even the Houjin cavalry who were left behind by the whole team also rushed up during this time and entered the queue.
These Houjin cavalry, who joined in later, would not blindly rush to the front, according to the rules of the army, in order not to disrupt the formation of the battle in front, they had to supplement from the rear. Therefore, the formation of the Houjin Army has now become very thick.
In the places where these personnel were concentrated, the Chinese cavalry that came from the second shock was in a dense formation, unable to make evasive movements.
A part, the cavalry, who had not finished the revolver ammunition in their hands just now, launched a fierce attack at close range, opening a safer road for themselves to attack.
And most of the cavalrymen who had just finished shooting their pistols and ammunition in the tactics could only rush forward.
They had some advantages in the face of the enemy forces that had stopped, but correspondingly, the danger was greatly increased.
Even if the cavalry that rushes forward kills the enemy in the front row, it will itself be attacked by the cavalry in the back row of the opposing party, or it will collide with the opposing cavalry who can not dodge either.
The Houjin cavalry in the back row brandished their weapons to attack the Huaxia army that rushed by, but this time, the Huaxia army did not slow down or turn their horses' heads to the flanks.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides staggered, and the formation of the Houjin cavalry array, which was thick, was chaotic.
The horses rolling on the ground blocked their path, and it was difficult for them to even move, making their horses under the crotches of the cavalry almost useless in the engagement.
Of course, the bad luck of the Houjin army has not ended, and at the same time that Battalion Commander Hou led the team to rush out, the second charge of the second column and the second charge of the third column also came in turn.
The successive cavalry attacks made the array of the Houjin army even more scattered, and the morale of the army began to waver.
The second attack of the three columns of cavalry was like a storm, violently beating the Houjin Front into a thousand holes, leaving a belly full of corpses and wounded.
The Huaxia cavalry array did not stop at all this time, like a sudden surge of waves, they did not choose to continue the attack, but moved forward, 200 meters later, found a favorable terrain and slowly slowed down, and began to line up again.
However, don't think that the attack of the Huaxia cavalry is over, you must know that at the very beginning, there were four columns of cavalry shock arrays formed by the Huaxia side, where did the soldiers of the guard company and the reconnaissance battalion go in this fourth column?
Just when the front three columns of cavalry were assembled, adjusted, and reorganized again, with a fierce sound of rifle fire,
The front was shattered, everyone was in a panic, and the Houjin army, which had completely lost its command, suffered another blow.
The guard flag team Lushun, which together formed the fourth column, dispatched the army guard company and the reconnaissance second battalion of the special service regiment with less than 200 cavalry, which were already in formation 200 meters away from the Houjin array, and began to shoot at the Houjin army with rifles.
They whistled and roared past in groups of three or five, just 200 meters away from the Houjin array, specifically attacking the lone Houjin cavalry.
Each of them has a strong bow, and the guard company that does not need to hide his identity is also equipped with pump-action rifles, and they do not fight with the Houjin cavalry, but they keep circling in circles, firing the ammunition in their hands while running, and quickly disengaged when they are done, never dragging mud and water entangled.
???? The rangers, who had begun to retreat to the flanks, were encouraged to come up again, and they gathered and scattered in small groups, attacking the Houjin cavalry with short guns and cavalry bows, and the battlefield was filled with white smoke and confusion.
The cavalrymen of the other reconnaissance battalions, who received the assembly order before the battle and rushed back to the direction of the battlefield one after another, also began to join the war group at this time.
And just now, where the two sides collided with corpses everywhere, the wounded soldiers and horses on both sides were desperately struggling and neighing.
Occasionally, in some places where the collision is more concentrated, the people and centaurs on both sides are stacked on top of each other.
Some of the cavalry on both sides who fell off their horses and were a little dazed finally came to their senses at this moment.
In a moment of consciousness, each of them drew the weapons he carried with him, such as pistols, sabers, daggers, bayonets, rifles, and so on.
Or pick up a weapon that has fallen nearby, select a nearby target, and kill each other.
Even some of the wounded stumbled to their feet, chose their direction and target, and fought each other with the enemy.
The entire battlefield was already a chaotic scene.
