Dragon Sea Empire

The sound of rumbling horseshoes was like rolling thunder.Overwhelmingly swept across the earth.In the southwest direction of the [-]st Brigade of the [-]st Division of the Chinese Army.A troop of cavalry rolled forward.The Chinese flag on a blue background is waving among the cavalry.

"The cavalry is coming."

A cheer erupted from the slowly advancing ranks of the Chinese Army.Although military regulations stipulate that no noise is allowed during the attack.But the cavalry regiment who came to reinforce Wuqing County suddenly appeared in the south.It still aroused cheers from the left-wing fighters of the first brigade.

Cavalry has never been taken seriously in the Chinese army.In the wars in the Nanyang colonies, Luzon, Taiwan, etc.Due to terrain, climate and enemy reasons.There is basically no room for cavalry.Only this time.In the land of Jingqu, on the North China Plain.The cavalry of the Chinese Army has become an important combat force

"Where are Commander Zhao and Brigadier Huang?" A messenger with feathers on his head ran past the front of the formation.Shouting loudly.

A sentinel took the messenger to Zhao Tie in the middle of the team.The orderly saluted with his hands across his chest.Loudly said: "The cavalry regiment is here under orders. Commander Lu and his brigade have already circled to the enemy's rear. The third sentry of light cavalry and heavy cavalry are under your command. Commander Zhao, please give an order."

"How many of you are there?" Zhao Tie asked.

"Brother Third Post plus heavy cavalry. A total of 300 people."

Zhao Tie rode on his horse.Asked: "Has Captain Lu personally led the team to detour?"

"There is still a large group of people behind the enemy army coming in this direction. The cavalry regiment is going to delay the enemy reinforcements behind.... He said: He will help you hold back the enemy reinforcements behind. After you defeat the enemy in front. Hurry up Go help him defeat the Ming army in the rear... The enemy's rear seems to have a lot of carts. The movement speed is very slow. It looks like a supply unit..."

Zhao Tie laughed: "The supply troops. The cavalry regiment can eat them with a single charge. What else can we get. This Lu Xiaotian. We can win the battle if we count correctly. Okay. Let you have cavalry Brothers, go to the left wing. After we defeat the enemy in the center, you will launch a charge. Cooperate with the infantry brothers on the left wing to defeat the enemy's right wing troops."

The 5200st Brigade left a battalion in reserve on the banks of the North Canal.The remaining more than 5000 people were divided into two attacking fronts: no matter how rigorous the training. A long snake formation with more than [-] people.Want to maintain a straight peakline on muddy terrain.it's out of the question.The offensive formation of the Chinese Army is based on regiments.It's actually a font.The front two regiments spread out a four-arranged attack front side by side on the left and right.Between the two regiments was the artillery unit.Behind the artillery was another regiment to spread out the line of attack.Since the Chinese Army's array is only four rows deep.Therefore, the frontal width of their front is much wider than that of white soldiers gathered in a group.In addition, the artillery marched slowly.The Chinese Army's line gradually formed a concave half-moon shape as it marched.Faintly, it became a situation of outflanking the two wings of the white soldiers.

The distance between the Chinese army and the white pole soldiers is less than two miles.In the process of the Chinese army slowly approaching the place.Thunderbolt rockets were launched from the Chinese army line without money.

This thunderbolt rocket is really not accurate.Fortunately, five or six thousand white soldiers were concentrated together.The rocket just flies in their direction.After all, it can hit something.Some rockets fly midway and change to high altitudes.Exploded in mid-air like fireworks.but.Such aimless and indiscriminate bombing.Instead, it made the white soldiers panic.I'm afraid that the blind rocket will fall and explode beside me.

The elite soldiers of Chieftain Shijie are completely unsuited to rocket combat.They specialize in mountain warfare.The Ming court transferred them to the plains to fight.is a mistake in itself.The white pole soldiers began to appear in confusion.Some people have already begun to drop their spears.Ready to run away.Qin Liangyu in order to maintain army discipline.Several Basumu and Qianzong were stabbed to death one after another.With their own prestige.The central front of the white soldiers was stabilized.But both her wings were in disarray.Although not to the point of collapse.But under the enemy's continuous rocket attack.The soldiers were busy hiding in Tibet.It is impossible to line up to meet the enemy.

Although the Chinese army's offensive troops were not advancing fast.But go with a firm and steady pace.Soon it was within the range of artillery fire of four hundred steps.The Ming army was able to hit cannons one mile away.They all cost more than a thousand catties.It has never been able to be used in field battles.So Qin Liangyu didn't expect to be within such a long distance.Guard against enemy shells.

"Boom boom boom." A group of blooming shells landed on the position of the white soldiers.A few rounds didn't explode.but.The exploding shells knocked down all the white soldiers within five steps to the left.Qin Bangping and Qin Minping managed to stabilize the left and right wing troops of white soldiers.Chaos began again.

Zhao Tie sent his personal guards to help push the cannon cart.The artillery team followed in the footsteps of the infantry brothers.It quickly advanced to within two hundred steps.Within range of a flintlock musket.

"Boom boom boom". Twenty-five light field guns began to launch a shotgun attack on the group of white rod soldiers.

at the same time.Infantry brethren stand still.The first row of fusiliers in front got down.Kneel down in the second row.The soldiers in the last row put their guns on the shoulders of the brothers in the third row.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo."A battalion of flintlock salvos began.The eight battalions of the two regiments on the forward line of the first brigade fired successively.Bullets rained down on the white soldiers.

The regiment on the second line was behind the artillery emplacements.Anxiously waiting for the sound of the conch horn when the bombardment ended.

"Boom. Boom." The artillerymen began to fire rapidly.Created the highest shooting speed of the Chinese Army Artillery at a rate of three times in 2 minutes.

Just two hundred steps away (350 meters).Shotgun shells containing countless iron sand, iron nuggets, and lead bullets.In the phalanx of spears of white soldiers arranged in more than a dozen rows, it caused a general effect of massacre.White soldiers strictly observe discipline.The formation was still maintained under the indiscriminate bombardment of the dense rockets just now.But.It was this formation that caused Shi Jie's soldiers to fall in pieces.Qin Liangyu never thought of it.I haven't heard of it either.Cannons can be used in field battles like this.

Lieutenant General Zhou Guozhu arranged all 500 archers of Shijie Tusi's troops on the front line.The problem is that the effective attack range of these archers is no more than 100 steps.Therefore, when the Chinese army bombarded and fired at the white soldiers.The white pole soldiers are completely in a situation where they can't fight back just by being beaten.and.These 500 archers were arranged on the front line of the phalanx.Bear the brunt of it.Not a single shot was fired.It has been slaughtered by shotguns and bullets in a short period of time.

Qin Liangyu was stunned by the scene on the battlefield.I was at a loss for a while.And at this moment.A few miles behind their position.There was a burst of gunfire.A cavalryman dressed in the uniform of an officer and lieutenant.The horse quickly came to the rear of Qin Liangyu's central army.

soon.Qin Liangyu's personal soldiers brought him here.

"Master Qin. The younger one is the personal soldier of He Shixian, the deputy commander-in-chief of Guan Liaoyang. General He and the rear battalion guerrillas Gong Niansui and Li Ximi led the chariot infantry and encountered pirate cavalry three miles behind your army. Our army is on the way Form an formation to face the battle. Mr. He begs you to send reinforcements to support..."

Qin Liangyu smiled wryly.His face was livid.Holding a spear, pointing forward: "Support. I'm afraid our army also needs support. Look. The pirates are attacking our army. We can't take care of ourselves... Where is the army of Master Du Songdu, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan?"

The cavalryman of the Liaoyang Army shook his head: "I don't know. Our army has been attacking for three days. Du Zongbing's army has not been able to contact..."

Qin Liangyu snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, let's do our best. After our army has defeated the enemy in front of us, we will definitely move closer to General He's troops. Now, we are going to charge."

The drums on the white pole soldiers' positions were loud.The white-armed soldiers who had been beaten up and down by the shotgun, bullets, and Thunderbolt rockets seemed to wake up suddenly.They leveled their spears one after another.Rush towards the Chinese army line.

now.Soldiers of the Chinese Army are already firing freely in accordance with the orders of officers at all levels.Everyone has increased their shooting speed to the limit.Feel free to shoot at enemies.Gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield.In fact, the vast majority of fusiliers can no longer see the target position clearly.Just shooting in the general direction.The same is true of artillery.The charging hand mechanically inserts the fixed propellant charge into the gun bore.The loader loads the shells.The gunner ignites the propellant charge with a firing rod and fires the cannon.Then it was cleaning the barrel, charging the gunpowder, loading the ammunition, and firing... In front of them was more and more thick gunpowder smoke.The enemy is behind the smoke.

now.The phalanx of white soldiers has been broken.Already nearly a third of the soldiers have fallen.Either death or injury.Although the drums are loud.Helplessly, the sound of guns and guns became louder.The surviving Tujia soldiers in the phalanx.Only half of them noticed the drumbeat.Long-term discipline and training cultivated a conditional launch that makes them regardless.Straighten the spear and charge forward.Facing the impact of dense bullets.pity.Their charge seemed very messy.sparse.There is no momentum at all.

woo woo woo woo.The conch horn of the charge sounded.The Chinese Army's fusiliers stopped firing.Get a good bayonet.The gunners fired the last round.Then the soldiers of the First Brigade of the Chinese Army shouted "Kill."They launched a charge together.As the second shock wave, the gunners of the Chinese Army also mounted their bayonets.After crossing the artillery position.Roughly adjusted the formation.I can't wait to rush forward with my comrades in the front line.

The charge of the brave white soldiers was quickly defeated by the bayonets of the Chinese army.When the sparse spearmen faced the bayonets of the Chinese army.Because they cannot be closely arranged in a line.In fact, the length advantage of the spear has little effect.The white soldiers fighting alone were quickly stabbed to death with bayonets by groups of Chinese army musketeers.

The specially trained grenadiers of the Chinese Army also threw grenades at the white soldiers.Then he rushed up following the smoke of the grenade explosion.Stab the dizzy white soldier to death.

After the Chinese Army launched a bayonet charge.After about 10 minutes.Shi Jie chieftain soldiers completely collapsed.The central phalanx where Qin Liangyu was located finally collapsed.She herself took the lead and charged forward.Bring your own guards to resist desperately.Reluctantly, the troops on the left and right wings were defeated by the Chinese army one after another.The cavalry of the Chinese Army had rushed into the square formation behind her.so far.The game is doomed.Qin Liangyu was helpless.from beginning to end.The white soldiers were all beaten by the enemy.

soon.The Chinese cavalry also cut off Qin Liangyu's banner.It completely disrupted the phalanx of the white soldiers.The last bit of morale of the white-bared soldiers disappeared.Now.The battlefield is completely one-sided massacre scene.

A musket bullet killed Qin Liangyu's Huang Puma.She fell off the horse.Passed out.Her son Ma Xiangluo brought his own soldiers.Desperately dragged her out of the battlefield.Flee west.

Nearly 8000 white soldiers.Between one attack and one defense.A total of more than 6000 casualties.Less than 2000 people returned to Baoding alive.

now.The cavalry unit of the Chinese Army, which was entangled with the troops of the Liaodong Army's chariot battalion, sent messengers.It was found that the positions of the white soldiers were already full of Chinese army musketeers coming and going.

"Where is Commander Zhao? I'm the communications soldier of the cavalry regiment. I'm looking for Commander Zhao."

Zhao Tie was holding a white spear.Look left and right.More than a thousand white soldiers and captives are being escorted to the North Canal.A whistle of sailor musketeers rushed from the direction of the North Canal.

"How is Lu Xiaotian?" Zhao Tie asked the communications soldier carelessly.

"Regimental Commander Lu is besieging the enemy army. The enemy army is mainly composed of chariot camps, supplemented by cavalry. There are many firearms. My cavalry rushed several times and was repelled."

"Oh. It's the Cheying army. It's from the Jiliao frontier army." Zhao Tie's face darkened.He frowned and said, "What kind of firearms do they have?"

"Looking at the banner, it belongs to the Liaodong Army. Their firearms are nothing more than Flang machine guns, bird guns, and fast guns. The speed of fire is not as good as our army. But our cavalry's cavalry has a short range. They have no advantage over enemy firearms. Therefore, Commander Lu begs you to send him artillery reinforcements."

Zhao Tie was thinking of countermeasures.Huang Lue, the brigade commander of the first brigade, ran over happily: "Brother Zhao, Commander Zhao. I heard that the cavalry brothers are in trouble. Brothers are not satisfied yet. Let me lead the team to help the cavalry brothers."

Zhao Tie asked the communications soldier of the cavalry regiment about the situation again.Turning to Huang Lue, he said: "The owner of the ship told us before the battle. Pay attention to the car battalion; this is the only unit of the government army that mainly uses firearms to fight. Since we landed in Dagukou, we have not encountered Cheng Jian. The car battalion. Now it seems that the cavalry alone cannot solve the car camp. We have just finished a battle. Gunpowder and bullets need to be replenished. The prisoners need to be arranged. There is no hour. We have no way to fight another battle. "

Huang thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. Let me lead my personal guard sentry team to check the situation first. The brigade will be under your command later. We will leave in an hour."

Zhao Tie nodded: "The battle started early in the morning. It's noon now. Everyone didn't even eat breakfast. They really need to take a break. Okay. Take my personal guards with me. There are also those under our command. Brother cavalry, rush over to help first. After an hour, I will bring the main force of the first brigade to the battlefield."
