The telescope saw the soldiers jumping around in the mountain col in the distance, Huo Xiaohu's heart finally relaxed, and what followed was full of anger.

Why?

There are more than 30 people who can jump around in the col, and the others are all wounded and colored, adding up to more than 20, and the approximate number can be estimated at a glance, about 50 people.

There are 101 people in my triple!

Nearly half of the losses in the first battle, thinking of so many comrades-in-arms who got along day and night leaving him, Huo Xiaohu's heart hurt and he couldn't breathe, he forcibly took a few long breaths of composure, and looked at the bandits in the distance with hatred.

For some reason, the bandits may not have coordinated the order of who attacked first, or the spoils were unevenly divided, and some of the bandits who rode up to meet them on horseback turned back.

Through the binoculars, it can be observed that several bandit leaders are arguing fiercely, and some even draw their own sabers.

Well, despite your own infighting, my horses can rest a little longer.

Due to the haste of the incident

Huo Xiaohu still had a lot of soldiers under him who were guarding, guarding and assisting in the interrogation recording tasks, but they didn't have time to bring them together, only more than 260 people came to help urgently, and half a company of soldiers were scattered all over Cairns Harbor.

But Huo Xiaohu is very confident in the soldiers under him, they are elite cavalry with long-term training, and they may not be as good as the cowboys on the horses, but the soldiers have a high degree of discipline and execution, which combined with the incomparably sharp combat effectiveness and invincible.

York's cowboys are known for their toughness and are not easy to beat, so the Yorkie bandits are so difficult that many famous bounty hunters have died here.

These ranch-born white cowboys were illiterate, rude and brutal, drew their guns at the slightest disagreement in the tavern, and were known for their aggressiveness and superb horsemanship.

Tom Walcoat raised his arms and shouted, the key to being able to gather close to 700 bandits is that the big bounty is eye-catching, and the most outlaws are willing to gamble.

Killing and being killed is the eternal theme of the wild York Peninsula.

Through the binoculars, Tom Walcott's men took out a large amount of money and distributed it to the bandits, which was like a dose of stimulant that made all the bandits go crazy, screaming and riding on their horses and killing in the direction of the leopard guards.

The hope of delaying time was disappointed, Huo Xiaohu could only smash his mouth regretfully, and his eyes became resolute.

Even if it's the king of cavalry vs. the king, let's see who is better?

"All the soldiers obey the order, all get on their horses, and get ready for battle!" Huo Xiaohu gave an order, and the soldiers turned over and mounted their horses, and the cavalry battle was about to break out.

"Check the weapons and ammunition, check the combat knives, check the equipment."

"Open the magazine, load the carbine bullets, open the rifle safe, and prepare for battle."

"Follow me now, move forward...... Huo Xiaohu took the lead and instigated the horses to start moving slowly, and the cavalry of the brigade followed in a zigzag, but no one's horse head surpassed Huo Xiaohu.

The cavalrymen loaded the rifles, controlled the reins of the horses with their left hands, leaned on their right shoulders with their right guns, and instigated their horses to move forward slowly, and their eyes watched the bandits of the brigade in front of them rush towards them with a hint of coldness.

Since you are in a hurry to find death, then the grandfathers will give you a ride.

The distance between the two sides is rapidly approaching

Soon approaching the distance of 1,200 yards, the bandits could be seen drawing their sabers one after another, circling overhead, screaming and rushing towards them, and some of the bandits showed off their fancy work in the gallop of their horses.

Standing on his side in the saddle, he walked like a wind against the wind, screaming with excitement in the onslaught of the cavalry.

Some of them lay on one side of the horse, and after a while they turned to the other side, nimble like monkeys.

For these cowboys in the wasteland, horseback is everything.

The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to 800 yards, and was still rapidly shortening at a rate of 100 yards every 6 seconds, and the leopard guards could clearly see the crazy performance of the bandits, squeezing their eyebrows and sticking out their tongues, and rushing towards them with sabers shaking their heads.

The leopard cavalry guard has been slowly advancing under Huo Xiaohu's suppression, and at this time, he began to accelerate in small steps under an order, so that the war horse could run as smoothly as possible, and Huo Xiaohu shouted first; "Leopard Guard, Wan Sheng!"

"Leopard Guard, Wan Sheng!" The cavalry shouted in unison, and a burning battle spirit was ignited in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was close to 600 yards, and the leopard cavalry guards were still lined up in a neat formation, and then they saw Huo Xiaohu's war knife raised high, and all the cavalry stood up with their horses clamped in unison, and raised the carbine less than a meter long to move forward, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed at the thugs who rushed all the way.

"Everyone, shoot ......" Huo Xiaohu's Xueliang battle knife suddenly pointed forward from straight into the sky.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

A platoon of gunshots rang out like bursting beans, and the roar swept over a distance of 600 yards towards the bandits' horse caravan, exploding countless blood-colored flowers, and the men turned on their backs, and the middle was killed instantly.

The bandit horse team that rushed all the way was instantly opened a gap, as if it had been bitten hard by a wolf, and the tumbling and falling war horses and bandits splashed a large cloud of smoke and dust, and were trampled by the hooves of the horses that arrived immediately, and immediately became minced meat.

The cavalry on both sides were facing each other head-on, and the speed was increased and the distance was so close that it was impossible to turn back, and the bandit horse team could only rush forward to kill.

The war knife in Huo Xiaohu's hand rushed into the sky again, and the cavalrymen on the horse skillfully pulled the bolt and reloaded, loaded the ammunition, and then raised the horse pistol forward to aim......

Xue Liang's long knife pointed forward again, and the sound of a dense volley of gunfire rang out like popping beans, beating the bandit horse team 500 yards away into a wolf howl, and the horse neighing shouted chaos, leaving behind a large number of corpses again.

At a speed of one round every 6~7 seconds, the soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry fired four rounds of guns at the oncoming horse bandits, causing them to lose heavy losses all over the road.

When the distance was within 250 yards, the oncoming bandit horse team was less than 200 people, and the original rampant look was long gone, replaced by a look of fear that had seen a ghost.

In the face of the relentless baptism of bullets, the courage of the bandits leaked without a trace like a punctured balloon.

These unlearned cowboys have long been behind the times, and they don't know the existence of the new carbine, which is a sharp weapon in cavalry battles, and they don't know how the famous bandit leader "Wild Wolf" Bilken died at the hands of the Red River Valley cavalry.

Huo Xiaohu's saber pointed forward fiercely again, and the dense gunshots like bursting beans rang out, and the bandits fell again forty or fifty horses.

The remaining more than 140 outlaws rushed up frantically with Xueliang sabers, and the distance between the two sides was close to 150 yards, and they were about to collide in just over ten seconds.

The saber in Huo Xiaohu's hand circled in the air and slammed back.

I saw that the formation of the leopard cavalry suddenly shrank inward, and all the cavalry inserted their horse pistols into the horse bag in front of the right in the movement, and drew their shiny war knives with their backhands and held them in front of their chests.

The war horse quickly changed its formation in the fast run, changing from a one-word formation to a goose-walking eight-character, and the war knife in Huo Xiaohu's hand slashed forward, issuing the command to charge; "Leopard Cavalry Battalion, Charge...... Kill ......"

"Leopard Cavalry Battalion, Charge...... Kill ......"

Under the frightened eyes of the bandits, the cavalry of the leopard cavalry battalion skillfully controlled the horses, maintaining a distance of less than an arm's length in the full run, and the snow-bright saber that was unfolded was like a jungle of blades, more like the huge long scythe of death.

The arrows led by Huo Xiaohu slammed into the opponent's horse team, and the rapidly expanding goose-shaped queue in the rear was like a knife wheel harvesting life.

The horse bandit can block the first knife, but not the second knife, the second knife, but not the third knife, and there are countless sharp sabers behind it that make people desperate......

The cavalry of the two sides collided violently, the loud sound of blades clashing and the sound of blades cutting through flesh and skin continued, blood splashed like money, mixed with the miserable howls that continued to stop abruptly, roaring on the battlefield full of smoke and dust.

After a short fierce and brutal cavalry sword fight, both sides turned their horses and looked back, and the soldiers of the leopard guards still numbered more than 240 people, with a loss of less than 20 men.

And the bandits, led by Tom Walcott, were only about 30 people, and almost all of them were wounded, their clothes were stained red with blood, and their bodies became shaky.

There is a clear distinction between the two.

The bandits were not well organized, they fought on their own, and they had to face one sharp saber after another, and the people who were in charge were almost immune.

Those who left their lives were nothing more than far away, or hid in the belly of the horse to avoid the fatal slash, and the saber dragged the slash, and luckily left a life.

Tom Walcott looked at all this with a pale face, and he couldn't understand why this was happening.

Now is not the time to reflect, and there will be no chance if you don't run away.

A whistle sounded

The rest of the bandits began to flee like a den, beating the horses desperately and running back, and everyone was already frightened, and could no longer afford to resist.

The evil bandits have a lot of blood debts on their hands, how can they run now?

Huo Xiaohu pointed forward with both hands, and the three companies under his command rushed out like three arrows, quickly chasing each other.

From time to time, rows of gunfire rang out during the march, and the bandits who fled frantically all the way were knocked off their horses like turkeys, and they did not run far to meet more than 30 cavalrymen.

They were the soldiers of the 3rd Company of the Panthers, riding in a loose line on their horses, blocking the way, and silently raised their carbines.

There were roadblocks in front and pursuers in the back, and only a dozen or so bandits left saw that there was no way to escape, so they could only obediently raise their hands and surrender.

Surrender may also leave a life, and if you continue to resist, you will die.

Sunset

The sky is hung with brilliant and blood-like colorful clouds, rendering the vast mountains and forests and fields magnificent, and it looks more of a tragic color.

The inventory after the bloody battle ended made Huo Xiaohu's heart ache.

The Leopard Cavalry Battalion lost 77 men in this series of battles, of which 59 were killed, 18 were seriously wounded, and hundreds were lightly wounded.

With the hot climate of the York Peninsula, most of the seriously injured people can't bear the infection, which is really a heavy loss!

A total of 694 bandits were killed and 16 were captured, leaving no wounded.

The front battalion of the Leopard Cavalry Guard went through a bloody battle

At least two weeks of rest will be required before they can continue the search and arrest mission, and the advantage is that the first battle on the York Peninsula shocked the world, and provided great confidence for other troops to clear out bandits, and the operation was much smoother.

The white ranchers, who were originally a little ready to make trouble, have now become stable.

The whole of central and northern Queensland ushered in a new stable situation after this bloody battle, although small battles continued, but there were no more large-scale battles.

After all, this is a vast and sparsely populated area, and it is not easy to organize a riot of hundreds of people.
