Age of Rebirth

Chapter 330: The Alliance Under the City

On the northern horizon, black cavalry appeared, more than 4 cavalry, lined up in a square formation, with no side in sight at a glance, flowing across the flat field like a huge wave. Yes, it is to restore the horse's strength and accumulate strength so that it can charge.

Chief of Staff Ningma, who was the commander in chief of the former enemy, suddenly issued an order to stop the advance. Directly in front, a group of cavalry reined in their horses and stood in neat formation.

Chief of Staff Ningma took a closer look, with a dismissive and mocking smile on the corner of his mouth. The opponent had at most one cavalry brigade, four to five thousand people, and he was facing off against his own more than 5000 cavalry. How do you say an idiom? "Overreaching one's abilities, hitting a stone with an egg."

As long as there is a charge, the opponent's thousands of people will be submerged in his own army, and the rest can only be corpses everywhere and the Lord's horses. He suddenly felt a little pitiful for the Central Army, and a brigade of cavalry , Against his own two cavalry divisions and three cavalry brigades, the commander of the Central Army thought all his cavalry were Guan Yunchang? [

Chief of Staff Ningma issued an order to form the first attack wave with one cavalry division and one cavalry brigade. All the cavalry of the Central Army on the opposite side must be wiped out. One cavalry division forms the second attack wave, and two cavalry brigades form the third attack wave. Go into battle one by one.

The interval between each attack wave is 15 minutes. After annihilating the cavalry on the opposite side, they break through the defensive position of the Central Army in one fell swoop. When the two horse officers behind come up, they will clean up the battlefield.

The cavalry of the first attack wave of the Ma family army launched an attack soon, and the horses suddenly accelerated. The soldiers of the Ma family army on the horse, their sharp sabers, had already been raised high, and they rushed towards Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade like a hurricane. Swept over.

As they got closer, the wild shouts of the Majiajun cavalrymen came from within the range of the carbine. Tong Batu issued an order, and the whole brigade of cavalry suddenly turned their horses and retreated in the direction of Zhuangzhuang Liang.

The reason why Tang Qiuli used Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade as a soldier to lure the enemy was entirely based on his trust in the superb riding skills of the Second Cavalry Brigade. If the superior Majiajun cavalry catches up, the Second Cavalry Brigade will be submerged in the raging Majiajun cavalry group.

The Mongolian men of the Second Cavalry Brigade will master the best rhythm and lure the cavalry of the Majia Army to the blocking area step by step.

Tong Batu was very displeased with the task given to his cavalry brigade. When Mongolian cavalry faced the enemy, they only had to charge bravely. Even if they were killed on the spot, they never had the habit of fleeing without fighting. ancestors.

Tang Qiuli told him that this is the task. I am really not at ease about the other cavalry brigades' riding skills. Don't make the bait fail, but become the fat in others' mouths. Only you, Tong Batu The Second Cavalry Brigade is the most suitable.

Remind you, you must never engage in battle, and you must pretend to see that the opponent is too strong and run away. Tong Batu reluctantly accepted the task. He was galloping on the horse while looking back at the extremely rampant Ma Jiajun Cavalry, gritted your teeth in your heart, if the commander hadn't given the order to die, I really want to touch you guys.

The cavalrymen of the Ma family army who were chasing fiercely, with the mentality of eagles catching chickens, brought the speed of their horses to the extreme. However, they ran for a long distance and marched overnight, and both men and horses were exhausted. Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade waited for work with ease.

As soon as it started, the cavalry of the Ma family army suffered a disadvantage in terms of speed. Seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther, the cavalry of the Central Army fled into the mountain pass and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry of the Ma family army who attacked the first wave had to rein in their horses urgently, and the horsemen stood up, almost throwing these cavalry under their horses. In front of them, a trench three feet wide and one foot deep appeared, forming an insurmountable obstacle.

The cavalry of the Ma family army in the first attack wave was blocked by the trench and could not move forward. They ran back and forth along the trench in a hurry, trying to find a passage. They were very surprised, how did the cavalry of the Central Army pass?

As they turned around, the cavalry of the second attack wave also arrived, followed by the third wave, more than 4 cavalry, blocked by trenches, huddled together, the formation was chaotic, horses crowded horses, people fought people.

Suddenly, a loud noise like thunder came from the opposite position, and several howling cannons fell on the densely packed cavalry brigade. blood rain.

The sudden bombardment shrouded more than 4 cavalrymen of the Majia Army in dead steel sheets, and brought the power of intensive firepower to the extreme.

In all fairness, if Tang Qiuli didn't have these cannons in his hands, he would not have fought this battle in this way.

That wide ditch was dug overnight by tens of thousands of soldiers. It was for Tong Batu to lure the cavalry of the Ma family army to the location of the shelling. , Gathered together to maximize the lethality of artillery fire, this move really worked.

The cavalry of the Ma family army, under the impact of the artillery fire, had no choice but to flee for their lives. They had never encountered such fierce artillery fire. The cavalry's impact and superiority in numbers seemed so small and pale in the rain of steel. [

Run quickly, leave this hell-like place, there was a loud noise, and the companions around him became a pile of shredded meat. Before they had time to rejoice, a cannon fell in front of him, and the whistling and spinning pieces sliced ​​into his chest. This Ma Jiajun The cavalryman seemed to hear the sound of his heart being cut and then shattered. With his lifeless eyes, he watched the blood gushing out of his chest in disbelief.

Then, he fell headlong under the horse, his eyes were filled with horror, surrounded by continuous cannons and earth pillars after the explosion, all of this has been closed to him, only the war horse that lost its master turned back. Staring at him, he was shocked by the huge explosion and ran away.

When Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing arrived panting with more than 8 infantry after hearing the loud sound of landslides ahead, the two Northwest figures were stunned by the scene before them.

It can only be described as corpses strewn all over the field, and most of them are unrecognizable corpses. The blood, the exhausted blood, dyed the yellow land into a dazzling crimson. The smoke on the battlefield has not yet dissipated. The 1 cavalry no longer exist, and those who fled back and ran away were only more than [-] people and horses.

However, the system was incomplete, it became a mess, and there was no combat effectiveness at all. Ma Hongkui wanted to find his chief of staff and ask what happened. Unfortunately, he would never be able to find the chief of staff. The chief of staff had been torn to pieces.

Tang Qiuli's fierce and intensive artillery attack caused Sanma to lose the most elite cavalry, and took away the capital they relied on to open up their territory and become kings.

Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, who were red-eyed, commanded more than 8 troops and adopted crowd tactics. From morning to noon, they launched more than ten division-level attacks on the Japanese division's defensive position.

The battle has already reached this point, and it is impossible to stop. If we retreat at this time, we will not only lose tens of thousands of cavalry, but also the heads of three horses. Have money.

The small Zhuangliang area immediately turned into a sea of ​​flames. Even a strong northwest wind could not blow away the smoke from the battlefield. More than [-] troops from both sides fought desperately. This piece of barren and desolate yellow land is destined to have a A bloody storm that will not be recorded in the annals of history, a bloody battle that changed the pattern of the Northwest.

What greeted them was exhausted artillery fire and intensive rain. The sun hanging high in the sky was blocked by the smoke of the battlefield. After losing more than 1 people, the two horses stopped in shock.

They fought against the Red Army, and it was almost a one-sided battle. The tenacious fighting spirit of the Red Army soldiers left a deep impression on them, but the poor equipment of the Red Army made them quite dismissive.

Facing the superior cavalry of the Ma family army, the Red Army could only use the lives of the soldiers in vain to resist tenaciously. But these central troops are different. They have so many cannons from them, and their own artillery regiment has just fired a round of artillery. After firing thousands of cannonballs, the artillery regiment disappeared in less than a bag of cigarettes.

In the face of such ferocious firepower from the opponent, more than 1 infantry were lost, and even the edge of a trench was not touched. Is there still a way to fight this battle?Until now, I don't even know who the opponent is, what number, and who the commander of the army is.

With such a heavy loss, Erma's mind is clearer. In the Northwest where the people are tough, without capital, he is not even as good as a bereaved dog, let alone dominating one side and enclosing the land as king. If he loses his entire family today, he will lose his fortune tomorrow. Someone is coming to chop your head off.

Although they lost badly, luckily they didn't lose everything. Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing had already started to retire, but they didn't know if the central army on the opposite side could let them go.

Just when the two were discussing the strategy of retreating, there was a sudden violent shelling from behind them, and the two horses were completely desperate. Up to now, the Central Army still has a backup, **** we are coming from the rear, the matter Before it was over, a large number of cavalry were suddenly killed on both sides, and like two sharp knives, they stabbed fiercely at the troops of the two horses.

The two horses fought again, and the retreat turned into a big defeat. More than 7 soldiers of the Ma family army became frightened birds. After chasing and killing for more than 29 miles, more than 100 people were captured, and a large number of weapons and medicines were seized.

Because Ma Hongkui of Ningxia was the chief culprit in this battle, Tang Qiuli did not plan to let him go, Li Honggang's First Army Brigade, Su Jingfeng's Second Army Brigade, Liu Chun's First Cavalry Brigade, the 29th Army The cavalry brigade moved quickly north.

After Tianshui, Wuzhong, Lingwu, and at dawn on the 23rd, Yinchuan was encircled. Zheng Yong's artillery [-]st brigade immediately rushed to the outskirts of Yinchuan, threatening the city of Yinchuan.
