Some of the cavalry rushed to the vicinity of the enemy headquarters.

Afterwards, the Second Brigade of the Yujun Army poured artillery shells on the Bali Bridge, the casualties of the Qing army were even more serious, and the water of the Tonghui River under the Li Bridge was dyed red.

The eight-mile bridge was still covered by artillery fire, and the Eight Banners disciples continued to rush across the eight-mile bridge, which was blocked by heavy fire. The soldiers on the bridge fell, and the soldiers behind them rushed up again.

In this battle, the bravery and shrewdness of the fierce ancient cavalry showed their eloquence to the fullest, but in the face of the firearms of the Anglo-French coalition forces, this kind of intrepidity seemed futile.

After the war, the stone railings of Bali Bridge were smashed to pieces, and many stone lions were also blown up. The bridge was piled with the corpses of the Qing army, and the troops of the British and French allied forces were never approached for hand-to-hand combat.

The battle was coming to an end from seven in the morning to eleven in the noon. Seeing that the Qing army was no longer strong, the British and French allied forces launched a counterattack and crossed the Bali Bridge, and the Qing army was defeated.

The Battle of Baliqiao destroyed the main force of the Qing army against the Anglo-French coalition forces, and dealt a heavy blow to the blind and arrogant Qingzheng axe diehards, which reduced the resistance to the development of the Westernization Movement in the future.

Because the ancient Eight Banners of Manchu and Meng, which had long been regarded as the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, were vulnerable in the Battle of Baliqiao, the Han Chinese Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, who were good at accepting new things, were relied on, and gradually replaced the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners as the main force of the Qing army.

The Battle of Bali Bridge was the last elegy of the ancient cavalry, marking the end of the [-]-year history of the ancient cavalry sweeping across the Eurasian continent.

Like Turkey, the Qing Dynasty had the most powerful cavalry units in the cavalry world, but they encountered the nemesis of cavalry - "firearms" one after another.

As long as this kind of firearm technology is a little mature, it can destroy the cavalry. Turkey has experienced the power of firearms in eleven wars with Maoxiong.

The Qingzheng axe was closed to the country. After many years, he encountered the Ouzhou colonists who were generally equipped with firearms. The Manchu Eight Banners and the Menggu Eight Banners cavalry also disappeared.

The reason why the Independent Field Army kept a cavalry brigade was because the Menggu side was also very suitable for cavalry assaults, but it was also wandering on the non-main battlefield, or chasing the rout of the little devils.

There are armored troops advancing in front, and the cavalry has more tasks, more...played an auxiliary role.

As the elite cavalry of the intermediate arms, it can only play an auxiliary role, which is really an irony for the elite cavalry.

Even the hundreds of thousands of sturdy Dawan horses owned by Liu Yu were handed over to the logistics force for supply and transportation.

After all, in Yanhuang, there are many roads and horses are faster.

Therefore, at the current position, the elite cavalry under Liu Yu's command has maintained a size of about a brigade, and then also deployed some cavalry in the artillery group for guarding and patrolling.

And the Ranger Brigade of the Independent Field Army, which was also on Menggu's side recently, finally had a few opportunities to play a role.

After the Ranger Brigade Commander Sun Desheng took office, he also commanded the Ranger Brigade and killed a Ranger Brigade on the side of the little devil in Menggu, but still relied on the two armored cavalry battalions under the Ranger Brigade.

There is no way, the pure cavalry captain has already withdrawn from the stage of history, and Liu Yu can't let his soldiers go to bayonet with the little devil.

What's more, the little devil's ranger brigade was also equipped with Xiaodouding tanks, and there were two or three light chariot squadrons in a cavalry regiment.

The Ranger Brigade has been established, and although there are quite a few achievements, compared with the results of other main forces, the record achieved by the Ranger Brigade is quite embarrassing.

It can be said that the Ranger Brigade, as a mid-level arm, has achieved less than even the elite infantry.

Chapter 374 Building an Air Cavalry Division (4/10)

The embarrassing situation of the cavalry, Liu Yu also wanted to solve it for a long time.

So a cavalry brigade is equipped with two armored cavalry battalions, but that's about it.

Facing the little devil's line of defense, the cavalry basically has no ability to break through frontally, and on the battlefield, they can only follow behind the mechanized infantry to pick up leaks.

After Sun Desheng took office, he also sent requests to Liu Yu many times, and he simply wanted Liu Yu to equip all the cavalry brigade with armored vehicles and change them all to armored cavalry brigade.

But cavalry is... cavalry, changed to armored cavalry brigade, then it is not cavalry, but armored troops.

In fact, the weapons equipped by the cavalry are also quite advanced. At present, Liu Yu has also given priority to equipping the cavalry troops with the Type [-] assault rifles that have exploded, and also plans to expand the cavalry brigade into a ranger division.

But there has always been a lack of a key piece of good equipment. When Liu Yu saw the Z-2 utility helicopter, the first thing that came to his mind was... the Ranger Division.

In Liu Yu's opinion, the Ranger Division does not necessarily require horses to ride. As a cavalry's equipment, the saber can basically be put away when it is equipped with a steel mount.

Liu Yu couldn't wait to open the system backpack, and saw the Z-2 general-purpose helicopter just rewarded, which was obviously different from the Z-0 general-purpose helicopter in Liu Yu's impression.

The Z-20 general-purpose helicopter in Liu Yu's impression is just a ten-ton general-purpose helicopter. The size is not very large, and it belongs to a medium-sized helicopter.

But the so-called straight 20 general-purpose helicopter rewarded by the system is more like a rhino flying in the air.

Why do you say that, this thing is simply... rough skin and thick flesh, and has an attack power similar to that of a rhino horn.

If you have to say, the so-called Z-20 general-purpose helicopter produced by the system is actually not at all like the Z-20 general-purpose helicopter produced by Yanhuang in the 20st century, but more like a combination of the Z-[-] general-purpose helicopter and the Hindu gunship.

While maintaining the fast maneuvering transportation capability of the Z-20 general-purpose helicopter, it also enables the Z-20 general-purpose helicopter to have unparalleled firepower.

The length of the fuselage exceeds [-] meters, the rotor diameter is [-] meters, the height is [-] meters, the empty weight is [-] tons, and the maximum take-off weight is [-] tons.

Equipped with two engines, the output power is equivalent to [-] shaft horsepower, the maximum flight speed is [-] kilometers per hour, the maximum ceiling is [-] meters, and the combat radius is [-] kilometers.

There are two pilots of the helicopter, one is the captain who controls the aircraft, and the other is the co-pilot who also serves as the fireman.

Between the helicopter crew cabin and the cockpit, there are two small short wings on both sides, and each side can be hung on three 3-rocket launcher nests, and when there are missiles, they can also be hung.

Under the nose, there is also a 12.

Millimeter machine gun, powerful attack firepower.

And in the huge cabin, one fully armed combat squad can be at a time.

The infantry can be quickly delivered to the rear by means of airborne or roped descent.

It can also pull up a jeep, or a light 155mm field howitzer, or a Dongfeng Warrior without... manned.

The most precious part of it is the various additional armors on the fuselage, the armor wrapped around the whole body, which can easily resist 12.
