Become a feudal king from today

"Woooooooo..."

Early the next morning, the soldiers of the Central Army in the trenches of Lingwu County became nervous after a low sound of horns. read

Because they found Beidi cavalry rushing towards them along the road in the middle of the trench.

Unlike their trenches, the trenches dug by the Beidi people this time were not continuous horizontally, but left several sections of unexcavated roads in the middle.

These roads were accessible to cavalry.

However, Beidi did not invest cavalry in the previous charge.

Now, for the first time, they saw the Beidi cavalry charging into the trench.

"Are the Beidi people crazy? Are they using cavalry to charge the trenches?" The change in Beidi's charging method naturally attracted the attention of Bai Shang and Huo An.

In Bai Shang's opinion, the cavalry rushing into the trench was simply an idiotic act.

Because the soldiers were hiding in the trenches, even if the cavalry rushed over, they could not use their sabers to kill the soldiers in the trenches.

At the same time, due to the existence of trenches, it would be difficult for the cavalry to move and become a target for soldiers in the trenches.

"Something must have happened that angered Muller Hongzhen." Huo An said.

While the Beidi cavalry charged, the Beidi soldiers in the trenches also climbed out of the trenches, and the infantry and cavalry coordinated to kill their trenches.

However, the soldiers of the Central Army are not vegetarians, especially when fighting defensive battles.

When Beidi charged, howitzers and rifled artillery covered it.

The soldiers' guns were also aimed at them, and grenades were waiting from time to time.

Under fierce firepower, Beidi cavalry and infantry continued to fall in the middle of the trenches between the two armies.

"It should be Chen Hu's Lancers." Bai Shang suddenly thought of something.

On the battlefield, the actions of Dasong troops are reported to each other.

He naturally knew that Chen Hu was leading the Lancers to cut off the Beidi supply line.

"This makes sense. The Lancers must have won a great victory. Seeing that the supply line was not guaranteed, Mulehon was really anxious, hahaha..." Huo An laughed.

Bai Shang nodded and felt refreshed, "The Beidi Company's cavalry is no longer our opponent. It's time to settle the accounts with them this time. Since the founding of Dasong, countless Dasong soldiers and civilians have died in their hands. This blood debt must be escaped."

After that, he said to the general beside him, "Hit me hard. Their bullshit cavalry can't get any advantage in front of our Dasong cavalry. Does he think he can get any advantage in front of our infantry?"

He observed the battlefield with a telescope for a while and saw that the Beidi cavalry would not have much impact on the battlefield situation.

He said to Huo An, "It's disrespectful to come and go without reciprocating. Let the sharpshooters kill a few more Beidi generals."

This time, part of the metal bullets were given to Chen Hu's Lancers, and part was given to the sharpshooters trained in the army.

With metal bullets, these marksmen are even more powerful.

Because the metal bullets not only increase the effective range of the Qin-style rifle to 800 meters, but also improve the accuracy within 800 meters.

"Do you need to say this? They were hiding all over the battlefield before dawn." Huo An smiled and looked at the city wall of Lingwu County.

There is a divine ranger lying down, standing high and killing enemies with good vision.

There are also sharpshooters in the trenches, mixed among the soldiers, looking for important targets.

There are also some sharpshooters who come to the flank of the battlefield before dawn, camouflaged to match the snow.

Bai Shang nodded, showing a satisfied look.

at the same time.

Mule Hongzhen was also watching the battlefield.

Seeing that the cavalry charge did not achieve the result he wanted, he looked disappointed and felt upset for a while.

If he can no longer change the situation of the war and the supply line is cut off, then there will really be no way back.

He was thinking about it when Negev and Ulanba came over.

Negev said, "Khan, charging like this is not the answer. It will only destroy the cavalry in vain. I have a way. Why not make some small powder barrels, tie them to the soldiers, and let them charge on horseback, as long as they can get close to the opponent's trench. , let the soldiers jump down and die together with the Dasong soldiers."

Mule Hongzhen was startled when he heard this.

To him, it was simply asking soldiers to commit suicide.

But after thinking for a moment, he agreed.

Now, he can use any method that can win victory.

These cavalrymen would die anyway when charging, and the same would be true if they were blown up by a gunpowder barrel.

"Colonel Negov is really a genius. In that case, prepare immediately." Mullerhonzhen said.

Ulanba and Negev nodded and went back.

at night.

Powder barrels the size of an adult's head were issued to the Beidi cavalry.

These powder barrels all have two straps that can be carried on the body, and there is also a lead.

After lighting the fuse, the cavalry rushed towards the trench in Lingwu County.

But these special cavalry did not escape the eyes of the sharpshooters on the side of the battlefield.

After all, the marksman always has a second-in-command watching with binoculars.

They recognized it at once as a powder keg.

To alert the soldiers in the trench, a marksman pulled the trigger.

With a "Bang!" sound, the bullet flew through the air and hit the powder barrel on the cavalryman.

At this time, the cavalry was only thirty meters away from the trench in Lingwu County.

The gunpowder barrel was hit, and there was an explosion with a "Boom!". The huge power directly blew the cavalry and war horses into pieces, and a ball of flames rose up.

The Central Army soldiers in the trench were slightly surprised when they saw this.

They immediately realized that there was something fishy among these Beidi cavalry.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Central Army began to focus on taking care of the Beidi cavalry.

The sharpshooters also shifted their focus to the Beidi cavalry.

On the battlefield, the Beidi cavalry began to explode into flames from time to time.

However, this did not stop the Beidi people from going crazy.

Occasionally, one or two Beidi cavalry would rush to the trench.

At this time, the Beidi cavalry would jump off their horses and rush towards the soldiers in the trench.

"The firepower is still not enough." Bai Shang and Huo An both frowned when they saw this.

There were too many soldiers in Beidi, and every time the infantry and cavalry charged together.

In this way, there will always be a few fish that slip through the net.

Although they still cannot threaten the overall security of the trench front, they can endanger the lives of Central Army soldiers.

"I hope the machine gun will arrive soon." Bai Shang couldn't wait.

There was a group of pigs opposite, and he had to kill them for a long time. But with efficient pig-killing tools, he could shorten the time.

In the next few days, the two sides continued to fight back and forth.

Seeing that the Powder Keg Cavalry played some role, Mullerhorn really regained some confidence.

He was waiting for an opportunity. As long as the powder barrel cavalry could tear a hole in the trench defense line, he would launch an all-out charge and completely capture Lingwu County.

At the same time, Yancheng.

When the fighting in Lingwu County became more and more intense, the War Department was also very busy.

Craftsmen were busy making metal bullets and hand-cranked machine guns.

As the war progressed, the number of machine guns also accumulated.

The ten-day deadline came and thirty handheld machine guns were stocked in the warehouse. Wang Ying immediately asked the craftsmen to take a steam locomotive and send the machine guns and ammunition to the Yongzhou front line.
