The same artillery offensive, without the giant sea offensive, seemed much weaker. Although it lasted for half an hour and caused considerable casualties in the 17th Division, the morale of the entire army was very high.

The Hubei army's offensive was also cautious, like a charge of nearly 30,000 people, no longer had the courage to start a war. Now they only dared to set up a phalanx and then began to attack under the cover of artillery fire.

Although such an attack cannot be said to be invalid, even if it can be extended to the position of the 17th Division, the officers and soldiers will fight it out with confidence.

However, the battle on both sides' flanks seemed short but fierce. The cavalry of both sides had no less than ten times to catch fire. Both sides wanted to avoid the opponent's cavalry and obtain the opponent's infantry's tracks, but they always encountered each other unexpectedly, and suffered a battle of both defeats. However, it is obvious that the Cavalry Regiment of the 17th Division, which had both fresh blood and the backbone of the Dingbian Army, had the upper hand under the command of Ding Ning.

The Dingbian Army dealt with the Rouran rebels who were not disguised in armor, so they attached unprecedented importance to riding and attacking. The Cavalry Regiment of the 17th Division also inherited this tradition and used a sharp sword to resist it as soon as they met. In this case, the cavalry of the Hubei Army was obviously not the opponent, and some teams were even completely wiped out.

The so-called "Horseman is now, Lu is better than Yu" comes from this, but for Ding Ning, she is under greater pressure. With such a long flank, it is obviously too difficult for her to cover it with a cavalry regiment. Deputy regiment commander Fang Chuming urged the war horse and asked loudly: "Do we want to shrink?"

Ding Ning gasped heavily and said a long time after saying: "We have contracted? Who will replace us?"

However, for the Hubei army, their cavalry performed well. Basically, they explored the overview of Liu Jingxiao's entire defense line. Ding Ning's attack only increased their difficulties, but the Hubei army's assault still started from the front.

Accompanied by the dense snare drums, the infantry of the two infantry regiments slowly gathered in front of the formation, raised their shiny bayonets, and walked neatly towards the position of the 17th Division.

Opposite him was Sima Kan's position, and Sima Kan's regiment went to the front line in person. When he saw this, he jumped over the fortifications, pointed to the dense enemy formation, and shouted loudly: "Enemy comes up, my soldiers, are you afraid?"

Here is the soldier's unanimous response: "No!"

"Yesterday, they assembled ten times more infantry than today, and ten times more artillery troops came to bombard us... but did we get knocked back!"

The same officers and soldiers shouted: "Yes!"

"We will stay here and never take a step back. Can we beat them up and down?

The whole team was cheering and "It can be done!"

Finally, Sima Kan raised his beloved revolver, fired all the bullets into the phalanx of the Hubei army, and then shouted loudly: "There are only these people, so let's call them back!"

It is impossible to achieve any results with a pistol shooting at such a distance, but the entire team responded with a loud bang: "Long live!"

Under such circumstances, the morale of the entire army rose to its limit, and the two enemy teams must have arrived at the fortifications under the bombardment of artillery fire. Before seeing a broken enemy formation, accompanied by Sima Kan's order: "Fire!"

The entire team stood up in unison, kneeled down on one knee in the front row and stood upright in the back row, making the first wave of volleys!

The dense bullets blew through the formation of the Hubei army like a whirlwind, and the people in line fell down. Then, a situation that even Sima Kan himself did not expect.

Before the Hubei army was about to launch an attack in the rain of bullets, some rash guy in Sima Kan's regiment jumped out of the trench. The whole team looked at his movements in a daze. Sima Kan was about to scold him, but found that his team was whistling together and let out a sharp cheer. Then the entire team launched an assault on the two infantry regiments opposite with bayonets.

The phenomenon of a weak defender launching a surprise attack earlier than a strong attacker can only show how strong the attack spirit of this unit has reached. The Hubei army did not expect, nor would it expect that Sima Kan's regiment would have such an attack spirit, and the entire unit could not react for a while.

Seeing this situation, Sima Kan also led the way out of the fortification. Facing the troops opposite, who were wearing the same military uniform but looked extremely fierce, the two teams that were attacking the Hubei army could not help but hesitate for a moment before firing out their waves of volleys.

In terms of military strength, this seems to be a very strange phenomenon. Although the Hubei army was baptized by artillery fire, the Sima Investigation Regiment was also greatly damaged. The two sides still had a one-to-two comparison in terms of military strength. However, facing the extremely brave enemy, the Hubei army rushed to the front with the roar of bullets.

Although this wave of scattered fires hit the enemy quite a lot and were also in rows, the next moment, the rebels' bayonets rushed to the front, and some companies were so scared that they retreated, while some brave companies rushed towards the enemy with bayonets.

Then a fierce hand-to-hand combat occurred in the narrow battlefield. The reckless guy who accidentally triggered this counterattack was also killed in this hand-to-hand combat, but most of the hand-to-hand combat was very short, and most of them ended in the failure of the defender.

Therefore, the Hubei army could not believe that the two teams had retreated so quickly. They didn't even have time to invest in the reserves, and even threw down all their military flags and equipment. The troops of the 17th Division followed them behind them, and many people surrendered directly to the enemy without even resisting.

"Sima Kan's counterattack" made Sima Kan famous for a while, but this was just a small episode in the Battle of Guide.

At this time, Liu Jingxiao's headquarters was riding a horse. The knight didn't even have time to get off the army and shouted to the headquarters: "Report from the Cavalry Regiment..."

Before the horse could stop, the knight rushed towards the headquarters on the ice and snow. With such a loud noise, Liu Jingxiao could not have reacted at all. He jumped out and found that it was Fang Chuming, the deputy commander of the cavalry regiment. Fang Chuming shouted loudly: "Changdu Village! The main enemy force is coming!"

Liu Jingxiao was shocked and asked loudly: "What? How many are there? Where are they?"

Guo Junqing was already screaming: "There is only one company there..."

Liu Jingxiao settled down and said, "Don't worry! Captain Ding has sent someone to notify Xinhai!"

Fang Chuming was not calm, and he nodded as soon as he heard this: "But Commander Han may not be able to withstand it!"

Liu Jingxiao knew that this was a problem. A brigade who went to Han Xinhai this time was responsible for covering the entire flank, but the defense line was too long and the mobile forces were not large. He could only draw two or three battalions of mobile forces at the moment. If this mobile force could not be defended, I am afraid that the enemy would concentrate a considerable amount of force on the flanks, and he could not help but pin his hopes on Ding Ning.

Ding Ning could perfectly complete the tasks assigned by Liu Jingxiao, reconnaissance, harassment, and side attack, but the only problem was that there were only dozens of cavalry around her, and almost all of the war horses were stained with blood.

If you look at it normally, you will be as beautiful as a jade-like face and a white horse and a quick saddle. Even if you don’t taste the beautiful scenery, even the bright sword will add a lot of color to your daughter’s family. However, none of these dozens of riders are in a good position, and none of them will act neatly. But even so, you can’t defeat the fear of the Hubei soldiers.

No one can forget that this elusive enemy army dared to suddenly charge him, pierce his entire formation under the rain of bullets, and finally killed two rounds before leaving. The hundreds of corpses and wounded on the ground confirmed the opponent's combat power, especially the enemy army who fell on the ground and called out.

Therefore, despite the order to continue the attack, everyone focused most of their attention on this team of cavalry, and the forward regiment had been staying in this damn place for half an hour.

But Ding Ning was also uncomfortable. Her body seemed to be broken. It was just the chill from the saber that made her straighten up and stare at the enemy with a cold look. She didn't dare to look back, because she was afraid that she would find herself in a pool of blood when she looked back.

Some people believe that cavalry and infantry fighting have the innate benefits of freely choosing the battlefield, but the fact is always cruel. Ding Ning's cavalry charge was forced to assault the enemy in a rather unfavorable situation.

When he discovered that the enemy army in front of him rushed towards Changdu Village, Ding Ning gathered all the cavalry that could be pieced together and launched a blocking battle as soon as possible.

Ding Ning had two companies with a little more cavalry. Although they were attacked by sneak attacks, the Hubei army did not react slowly. The flank cavalry covered the bayonets. The soldiers in the front row prepared the bayonet walls, and the soldiers in the back row pointed their muzzles at the enemy cavalry that were galloping.

They didn't take these more than 200 cavalry seriously at all, but Ding Ning's performance was too brave. The iron cavalry of the Yifang turned into a tofu cavalry, and he retreated almost as soon as he took over. Then the enemy cavalry came over, and even rushed faster than the defeated Yifang cavalry. The soldiers panicked and fired a volley.

Ding Ning looked at the snow-bright bayonet wall, the bullets whistling in his ears, and the companions around him shouted immediately, shouting out the famous saying that all the cavalry officers and soldiers regarded as holy scriptures: "Damn bullets! Rush over!"

In this case, the desperate assault achieved unexpected results. Even when facing the forest-like bayonet wall, the enemy had at least one complete infantry battalion that could not get up anymore, and there were corpses everywhere. However, the Cavalry Regiment of the 17th Division also paid a heavy price, and Ding Ning and the remaining thirty or forty cavalrymen also lost their combat effectiveness.

Perhaps if Ding Ning was not a woman, she would probably not have survived such a hellish fight. Almost all the cavalry tried their best to protect her from breaking through the siege. However, she could only hold the saber tightly and think in her heart: "Maybe we're going to meet him? It's great! At least I'm a heroic cavalry!"

However, even with this remaining cavalry, the Hubei army still ignored their existence and sent troops to drive away these cavalry several times. However, before the infantry arrived, Ding Ning and the others had already withdrawn from the battlefield, and the next moment they returned to the battlefield, which was the only thing they could do.

The enemy's cavalry no longer existed in the previous battle, so Ding Ning used this cavalry to block the enemy, but there were not many days of happiness. Ding Ning gritted his teeth and heard the sound of horse hooves made by stepping on the broken snow, and thought of a thought: "Enemy cavalry?"
