Chapter 470: The Banner
The cavalry units of the 1st Mixed Brigade, after some reorganization and rest, went around a large circle, pumped the buttocks of their horses, crossed the Fuzhou River to the east, and rushed back along the plains along the edge of the river.
On the way, they also easily solved some of the Houjin soldiers who ran in the wrong direction in a panic and left behind.
This side was close to its own infantry array, and nearly 1,000 mounted horses of the mounted infantry battalion happened to be left here, guarded by more than 100 auxiliaries.
The soldiers of the Houjin Army in the north were retreating, and the cavalry of the Huaxia Army was left with less than 500 men and horses after such a long battle.
On the opposite side, there were more than 800 horsemen and horses with red flags, as well as more than 400 horsemen and bayalas that had been reassembled after the defeat of Duoduo.
This part of the men and horses did not flee chaotically, but were still in complete formation, covering each other with strong bows and fast horses to retreat.
There were also some scattered white flag infantry armor, during this time, taking advantage of the new round of confrontation between the enemy and us, they got a certain respite, and after grabbing the horse, they quickly fled to the gap in the western hills.
Zachdan issued an order for the whole army to assemble, and in a neat and solemn order, he did not have time to wait for the troops to meet, and galloped across the battlefield with his guards, observing the results of today's battle.
Zakdan's dragon horse held him up and suddenly accelerated, entering the battlefield strewn with corpses.
The two flag-bearers behind him, both of whom were very strong, firmly grasped the flagpole, holding the flag of the Chinese Army and the flag of the First Mixed Brigade, and followed all the way.
On Zachdan's head, the red army flag and brigade flag fluttered high, which was exceptionally bright.
The red military flags and brigade flags fluttering in the wind, and the dancing figures caused the tsunami-like cheers of the Chinese soldiers on the battlefield.
They were a group of slaves and disaster victims who originally lived in hell, but since they came to Huaxia, they have been reborn.
After joining the army, political workers have been propagating and giving speeches every day, constantly shaping the glory of the motherland and the strength of the army.
These red military flags, which can be seen everywhere in the barracks, can quickly inspire the soldiers' sense of honor.
Because of these flags, these exiles, disaster victims, and slaves who gathered from all over the world got a chance to settle down in the kingdom.
Moreover, walking on the street wearing the military uniform of the Huaxia Army, all the eyes cast on all sides were envious, adoring, and admiring, which made these soldiers who came out of the bottom feel the real dignity and honor.
All of this comes from the great and powerful country that is now there.
At this moment, after a difficult bloody battle, on the battlefield strewn with corpses, the soldiers once again saw the familiar military flag, which naturally made them feel both cordial and excited.
Zachdan's eyes swept across the battlefield like lightning, and there was a faint pain in his heart, but looking at the soldiers who were cheering around him, he once again strengthened his spirits and raised his right hand to salute the array where the mounted infantry battalion next to him was.
This style caused an extremely enthusiastic response from the soldiers, and the soldiers of the cavalry unit, who were rapidly approaching, were also blushing with excitement from this victorious atmosphere.
In the bursts of joy like a tide, the 800 cavalry who had just rushed back from the south of the red flag did not dare to stay here for too long.
They hurried past the flank of the Heavenly Blessing Army, which was still holding on to the fire from the spy rifles, and retreated to the north.
The company led by the lieutenant who had quarreled with the judge had just arrived within range at this time, and the infantry in the queue fired two salvos in turn, and then continued to cover each other while loading ammunition.
The commander of the mounted infantry battalion also rode over and, after a salute, opened his mouth to report on the situation in his own camp.
As the commander-in-chief of a normal campaign, Zakdan has received many data summaries during the campaign, and during the trip just now, he also saw with his own eyes the situation after the end of the battle on the entire battlefield.
Without waiting for the cavalry battalion commander to report, he waved his hand and directly pointed to the position of Kong Youde's Tianyou army and ordered: "Immediately lead the team to attack, defeat the Houjin infantry, and vacate the road to the west, so that the left wing of our army can pass quickly." ”
The commander of the cavalry battalion received the order, immediately turned around, and sent another cavalry infantry company in the battalion as a reserve to the battlefield on the side of the Tianyou Army.
Under the pressure of Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng's powerful bullets, the Tianyou Army, which had already exercised a certain amount of willpower in years of fighting with the Houjin Army, could still shoot at the infantry company that came out in front.
However, as time went on, when all the Houjin Tartars began to retreat, leaving their lone army alone to confront the Huaxia army, the military spirit of the Tianyou army finally panicked.
panicked, and the formation naturally gradually dispersed, and when the cavalry of the Huaxia Army approached quickly, the Tianyou Army suddenly collapsed completely, as if it had blown up a nest, and rushed towards the north.
And the infantry company led by the lieutenant who came out first, under the threat of the cavalry covering the flank position of the Houjin army, did not directly disband the formation to pursue the fleeing Tianyou army.
For the sake of safety, his company still moved in the direction of the enemy in front of him in formation, but in this way, their marching speed was naturally not as fast as the Tianyou army fleeing like rabbits, so the number of kills along the way was not much.
The cavalry battalion of the 1st Mixed Brigade was left with more than 400 people with full beards and tails at this time, and they were also a short-distance sprint against the fleeing Tianyou Army, and they quickly withdrew after receiving the enemy.
The reason for this is also because the cavalry team with the red flag lined up on the flank, until the routs of the Tianyou Army have fled far away, and the cavalry of Houjin is still standing in place.
They were bold bastards and waited until the entire contingent of the Huaxia Army was slowly approaching, and was about to enter the range of rifles, before they slowly retreated to the north in a neat line.
At this point, on this battlefield, in the southern direction of the Huaxia Army's infantry array, there were no longer formed post-gold Tartar troops.
The commanders of the battalions also gathered around Zakdan at the sound of the rallying order.
At the moment when he saw the commander of the cavalry battalion, Zachdan laughed excitedly and praised, "The cavalry battalion fought extremely bravely in this battle!" I take credit for you. ”
Of course, when praising him, as the commander-in-chief, he will not forget the other officers and soldiers who contributed to this battle together.
