"Attack, kill! The leader said, kill an officer and soldier, and reward ten oceans! Kill an officer and reward a hundred oceans. If you kill a general, you will be rewarded with a thousand oceans and promoted three levels in a row! "Countless heralds rode through the ranks of the Northwest Alliance Army to convey Niu Renliang's order.

Although the Northwest Alliance is a strong army that dominates the northwest, it still cannot change the essence of most of these soldiers being a rabble. When they were fighting, they used bounties more to boost morale. Rely on a ruthless force to defeat the enemy. Due to traffic restrictions, the northwest was originally a place that was difficult for the government to reach. This approach of the Northwest Alliance is still very effective. It's just that during the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Green Camp in Gan Province was completely suppressed by the Northwest Alliance. The political situation in Gan Province is almost always manipulated behind the scenes by the Northwest Alliance. In many cases, the decisions of the imperial court are not counted here. The Northwest Alliance is the golden rule.

Countless soldiers of the Northwest Alliance had red eyes. This time, their leader gave a bounty much more than ever! Even if you kill one officer and soldier, there are ten oceans. At present, ten oceans is already a lot of money.

"Kill!" The cavalrymen of the Northwest Alliance, who were aroused to fight, shouted slogans and rushed towards the position of the Imperial cavalry.

In this wave of attack, the Northwest Alliance invested a full 20,000 men. They hoped that with this attack, they would crush the Imperial cavalry in one fell swoop.

I have to admit that the charge of 20,000 cavalry is indeed immense. As long as the number of people is tens of thousands, it will give people a feeling of crowds. Not to mention 20,000 people, and the war horses under their crotches.

"Boom!" The sound of horses' hooves converged like a muffled thunder in the sky. The attack of the Northwest Alliance, like a black tide, swept towards the positions of the Imperial cavalry.

See the momentum of the Northwest Alliance. Niu Renliang nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, this is definitely a first-class strong army in the world. In terms of cavalry alone, the Northwest Alliance can be ranked in the forefront of the world.

"These are my sons and daughters of the Northwest Alliance! I'd like to see how the Imperial Army can resist it. Niu Renliang smiled.

"Yes, General! The attack of 20,000 sons will definitely be able to tear apart the positions of the Imperial Army. They are cowardly cavalrymen. It is not worthy of being called cavalry at all. As soon as we break through their defenses, then the next time is to slaughter them. Another general said very firmly. In his opinion, the firepower of the Imperial Army may be strong, but the advantage of cavalry is speed. As long as they quickly crossed this distance and approached the enemy, the firepower advantage of the Imperial Army could not be brought into full play. The cavalry of the Northwest Alliance can rely on the sabers in their hands to wantonly slash and kill the Imperial Army. It seems that everyone has seen that they are going to get a brilliant victory.

As long as this time the Imperial Army can be defeated, then. The Imperial Government may have to recognize the Northwest Alliance's rule over the Northwest. And they can still be the overlords of the northwest. This is undoubtedly what they want to see the most.

On Gaolan Mountain, Major General Zou Fang, commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Army, watched the attack of the Northwest Alliance with a telescope. The attack of 20,000 cavalry was indeed huge. If it were an ordinary person facing such a spectacular attack, I am afraid that he would have been scared to pee his pants.

However, the Imperial Cavalry was different. The Imperial cavalry fought bloody battles with the Russian Cossack cavalry, which was known as invincible in the world, on the Mongolian steppe. Even the Cossack cavalry was the defeated commander of the Imperial cavalry, let alone a rabble like the Northwest Alliance.

Besides, there is a fundamental difference between imperial cavalry and traditional cavalry. The Imperial cavalry paid special attention to firepower. Armed with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, for cavalry. There will be a deadly threat. The dense charge of the cavalry, in the face of the powerful firepower of the imperial cavalry, is simply looking for death!

"Artillery fire!" Major General Zou Fang gave the order.

Two minutes later, the 36 75-mm field guns of the two artillery battalions, which had already been prepared, began to roar. Orange-red flames flashed in the muzzles, and one after another, cannonballs whistled towards the cavalry ranks of the Northwest Alliance.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! "When a piercing whistling sound rang out in the sky. Many soldiers of the Northwest Alliance raised their heads and looked at the sky as they charged at high speed.

In between, the small black dots were rapidly approaching, getting bigger and bigger in their eyes.

"Humph! The Imperial cavalry carried out an artillery bombardment. I'll see if their shelling can stop our attack. Niu Renliang snorted coldly. Artillery equipped by the Imperial cavalry. He was very envious and jealous. However, he did not think that the artillery of the Imperial cavalry would be of much use under such a large-scale attack. Of course, the Northwest Alliance will pay a certain number of casualties as a result. But for the attacking Northwest Alliance, which had more than 20,000 people, this casualty was simply insignificant.

However, the next moment, Niu Renliang's eyes widened. Two eyeballs, almost protruding.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Shells exploded above the heads of the Northwest Union cavalry. These shells are all shrapnels. With the setting of the fuse, these shells exploded over the head of the North-Western Union. The prefabricated fragments will be thrown in all directions, like a goddess scattering flowers.

"Poof! Poof! ”

Under the action of huge kinetic energy, it is shrapnel that can easily penetrate the human body, carrying life one by one.

Quite a few soldiers of the Northwest Union were pierced by shrapnel. Blood flowers bloomed on their bodies, looking very beautiful and bewitching.

Countless Northwest Union soldiers were shot and fell, and their horses fell. Then, he was trampled into meat sauce by the war horses galloping at high speed behind.

The artillery shells of the Imperial cavalry continued to explode in mid-air, and large swaths of the Northwest Union cavalry were killed.

"Damn, how can this be? The artillery shells of the Imperial Army, how could they be so powerful? Niu Renliang scolded. He had just said something to underestimate the Imperial Army before, but in the blink of an eye, the Imperial Army slapped him hard with facts.

The smiles on the faces of the other generals had vanished, and they had not paid attention to the Imperial cavalry before. But at the moment, they felt a deep threat. The Imperial cavalry, it seems, is more powerful than they want. The firepower of the Imperial Army is even stronger than they expected!

The artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army caused great damage to the Northwest Alliance, leaving a blank in the queue like a black tide. It's just that the number of cavalry in the Northwest Alliance is too much, and these gaps will soon be filled by the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance. The black crowd is still sweeping towards Gaolan Mountain.

"Mortar, fire!" When the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance charged less than a thousand meters away from the position of the imperial cavalry, Major General Zou Fang gave the order again.

Suddenly, hundreds of mortars of various calibers deployed in front of the position also opened fire. Whether it was a 60mm light mortar, an 80mm medium mortar, or a 120mm heavy mortar, they all opened fire.

One cannonball after another, whistling towards the cavalry ranks of the Northwest Alliance. Even so, the power of mortars is not comparable to that of field artillery. However, the rate of fire of mortars is even more terrifying than that of field artillery.

Dense shells flew overwhelmingly towards the Northwest Alliance. One shell after another exploded in the ranks of the Northwest Alliance, and the Northwest Alliance people flipped on their backs. There were constantly Northwest Union cavalry torn to shreds by exploding shells, or swept away.

Niu Renliang and the other generals who were watching the battle in the rear had gloomy faces as if they could drip water. They had no idea that the artillery bombardment of the Imperial cavalry would be so terrifying.

"Da Da Da!" When the Northwest Alliance charged less than three hundred meters from the position of the Imperial cavalry, the heavy machine guns also began to roar. A stiff heavy machine gun, firing wildly, dense bullets, like a storm of steel, shrouded towards the Northwest Alliance.

The cavalry of the Northwest Alliance, which was charging at high speed, was like crashing into an invisible wall, and they were blocked there. All the cavalrymen who charged came fell to the ground with screams. The wails of the soldiers before they died, the neighing of the horses, all came together as if it were a hellish scene.

"Humph! Cavalry, doomed to decline. In the face of the Empire's powerful firepower, the cavalry had only the share of being slaughtered. Major General Zou Fang thought secretly.

At the same time, he himself was a little confused. The role of cavalry is getting smaller and smaller, so will the Imperial cavalry one day also fall? Although, the Imperial cavalry was now entirely mounted infantry. It not only has the high-speed performance of cavalry, but also has the powerful firepower of infantry. However, with the development of science and technology, there will always be a day when new weapons and equipment will appear, and then completely replace the cavalry.

Of course, it's too early to think about that. Major General Zou Fang's task now is to slaughter all the cavalry of the Northwest Alliance and let them know what the outcome of the confrontation with the Empire will be.

On the other side, Niu Renliang and the generals in the northwest were already dumbfounded. You can also see their fear in the eyes of those who are not afraid of the ground. The powerful cavalry of the Northwest Alliance charged one after another, but their attack looked more like they were sending them to death. The powerful firepower of the Imperial Cavalry, like a terrifying mouth, continued to devour the lives of the Northwest Alliance, making their cavalry continue to suffer losses here.

"O Allah! How so? How could the Imperial cavalry be armed with so many heavy machine guns? "Niu Renliang is like a mourner. What a heavy machine gun is, of course he knows. It's just that the Northwest Alliance is practically unequipped. Their weapons were mainly rifles and sabers.

The other generals were also completely silent, and their arrogance had long since disappeared. (To be continued.) )
