Chapter 34: The Great Alliance Goes Forward (19)

Colonel Bode overlooked the banks of the river valley from the church bell tower, and the thick smoke turned the distant scene into a blurred afterimage.

But it doesn't matter, because the whole picture of the battlefield is already in his heart. Thousands of humans, war horses, seem to be a huge living body, Bode Gates listened clearly to its pulse:

To the south, the Baishan County troops under Colonel Geisa Adonis were advancing rapidly. The vanguard's 100-man team was like an awl to penetrate the river, and successively captured the coastal farmhouses that the enemy was stationed; to the north, the Bianjiang County and Leiqun County troops commanded by Colonel Skur were fighting with the enemy. Skur's front surrounded the enemy's flanks, and the enemy's reinforcements also surrounded the Bianjiang County and Leiqun County troops.

Both sides were like a pair of weebosnakes, tearing each other's remains like crazy, just to see who could bite each other first, be afraid of it, and bite to death; as for the most intense battle, the enemy's grounds set up cannons in the east. There was no way to see the sad appearance of the weeds before, and the horse's hooves plowed the surface. Looking around, there was no more green, only black mud and red blood.

The cavalry of Leiqun County surrounded the enemy and launched attacks one after another. The enemy formation, which was almost submerged in war horses and smoke, seemed to collapse in the next second, but it just didn't collapse.

The three battlegrounds that are fighting desperately, no matter where the result is first, it may affect the outcome today.

The most "insignificant" point is the River Valley Village located in the middle of the vortex at this moment.

Captain Luosong did not have the overall view of Colonel Bode. In the crazy fight, he gradually only had instinct. He was not afraid of anything and had no desires. He roared loudly, swung his knife vigorously, slashed his chest and cut off his neck.

A lead bullet that flew from somewhere hit Luo Song's mount. The horse whined, pounced down suddenly, and then fell to one side. If the captain hadn't reacted quickly and closed his legs in time, he could have crushed his shin with just one move.

Before he could mourn for the love horse, Luo Song, who had just pulled out his right leg from the war horse, rolled on the spot, avoiding the spear that was stabbed. The tip of the spear streaked across his back, leaving a shallow mark on his armor.

The captain roared and rushed towards the enemy who wanted to stab again, but felt a huge force pinching his arms and shoulders - a sergeant pulled him to his horse's back and then waved his whip to take him away.

The two retreated until the range of the muskets, and the other cavalrymen of Leiqun County also gradually got rid of the enemy and retreated and reorganized.

The sergeant brought back a war horse that had lost his master to the captain. Luosong took the reins and stepped on the stirrups into the saddle.

"Saber." The captain gritted his teeth and untied the scaber from his wrist.

The sergeant found another sabreless sabre for the captain. When he handed the sabre to the captain, the sergeant found that the captain's arm was trembling unconsciously.

"Crossing."

The sound of gathering sounded again, and the cavalry of Leiqun County who could still fight were re-arrayed. The cavalry with swords drew out the swords, and the cavalry with lost swords picked up the enemy's abandoned spears, and rode their horses to rush towards the enemy's phalanx again.

However, even if the Leiqun County cavalry still had the fighting spirit to launch a new round of charge, their horses were exhausted by the uninterrupted and vigorous movement.

No matter how riders use whips and boot spikes, the horse has no way to sprint at full speed as it did at the beginning, and can only jog with big strides.

Riding on a tired war horse, the charge interval of less than two hundred meters was as long as one kilometer.

In the square formation at the other end of the killing field, the Union Provincial School Officer jumped into the carriage, shouted and waved the military flag, and inspired his subordinates to continue fighting.

Sparse red flames burst out from inside the spear wall, and the enemy was no longer able to organize musketeers to carry out disciplined volleys.

However, Luo Song's afterwards glanced at the abnormal movement in the corner of the square: the gunners in the rear were pouring gunpowder into the fire hole, and the enemy spearmen in the front row were panicking and giving up the shooting space.

Another enemy cannon was loaded.

When the cavalry of Leiqun County rushed repeatedly, the four undestroyed enemy cannons also fired rapidly continuously. Their killings to Luosong's subordinates were more than the musketeers of the two square formations combined.

Now, the lead rain of death is coming again.

"Scatter!" Luo Song raised his hand and shouted: "Scatter!"

At this moment, the cannon opened fire.

Luo Song only felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and the airflow cut his cheeks into pain. Luo Song originally thought he was dead, but the soldiers beside him died first.

The sergeant's left arm was cut off by shells shoulder-to-shoulder, and blood came out of the short part of the wound with his heartbeat. He glanced at the captain in pain and fell from the horse's back.

In the fierce battle, the enemy learned new tricks.

They hid the cannon inside the human wall, so that the attackers could not see the loading progress of the cannon, and did not disperse the front row of spearmen until the moment before the fire was opened.

The sudden shelling plowed a gap in the charge formation of the cavalry of Leiqun County, but the screams and wails from the enemy's phalanx were even more miserable than the sarcastic sounds of Leiqun County's war horses.

Around the heavy cannon that had just ejaculated the fire rain, there was a tragic scene, with fragmented human bodies and wood chips everywhere.

There was a terrifying tear-like gap at the tail of the heavy artillery, and the metal peeled from the cannon body turned into a deadly fragment, directly exploding a corner of the already shattered formation.

"Press up! Go up!" the school official shouted wildly.

"That's it!" Luo Song's bloodline opened and he raised his sword and pointed directly at the place where the heavy artillery exploded: "Follow me!"

The heavy cavalry of Leiqun County roared and broke into the last enemy phalanx on the ground, rushing and trampling on the brown-clothed infantry, causing the inside of the phalanx to overturn.

The front row of spearmen in the parliamentary army in other directions either fled in panic or turned around to fight. However, as soon as they were shaken, the Leiqun County light cavalry, who were outside the range of the musket, rushed over.

Amid the sound of horse hooves that resounded through the sky, no matter how the Union Provincial School Officer led the way, no matter how the Union Provincial School Officer encouraged and motivated, the last parliamentary military formation on the artillery position still collapsed irreversibly like ice cubes hit by heavy hammers.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In the chaos army, Luo Song searched for the officer of the Federation of Provincial School in a murderous manner, but he could not find the light blue Federation of Provincial Military Uniform.

Luo Song pulled his horse around him and looked around: the brown-clothed soldiers fled in all directions in panic, and the cavalry of Leiqun County chased behind him like crazy and chopped and slashed. Both the fugitives and the pursuers had completely fallen into frenzy.

"Blow the call to stop!" Luo Song shook off the blood dripping from the sabre, and habitually turned his head to call the trumpeter: "Send all the staff! Gather and reorganize!"

No one responded to him, his trumpeter had been killed in the charge just now.

Luo Song pursed his lips and rushed towards the location where the flags of the third and fourth squadrons were located, looking for the trumpeter of the Light Cavalry Squadron.

At this moment, Luo Song heard the familiar sound of horse hooves.

It is not the chaotic roar of thousands of horses galloping, but the sound of horse hooves that are moving forward in a coordinated manner with the same steps - the sound of horse hooves that are charging.

Luo Song looked back in horror and saw that the enemy cavalry, who had been resting at the southernmost end of the battlefield, had completed the attack and preparation at some point.

The cavalry squadrons of the three new land dispatched troops were fully deployed on the field, forming a huge net, sweeping towards the ground where the artillery position was located.

Luo Song immediately rushed under the military flag of the Light Cavalry Squadron, and the shrill call to withdraw the troops immediately rang through the earth. The cavalry of Leiqun County gave up chasing and fleeing the enemy, followed Captain Luo Song's military flag, and withdrew the artillery position from the west like a tide.

Luo Song wanted to bring the troops to the outside of the battlefield to reorganize, but the cavalry of the Xinkendi Legion did not intend to give him this opportunity.

They bypassed Tugang from the east, briefly disappeared from Luosong's vision, and once again appeared behind the cavalry of Leiqun County.

The cavalry of Leiqun County was already at the end of his strength, and many people were carrying wounded and comrades who had lost their war horses. In contrast, the cavalry of the Xinkendi dispatched army had not been put into battle so far.

Both sides were slow and fast, and the distance was quickly narrowed. Leiqun County cavalry kept falling off their horses while galloping and disappeared under the hooves of the pursuers.

Luo Song's war horse was full of saliva, and his nostrils kept flipping, panting violently like a worn bellows. No matter how Luo Song activates the war horse, it could not run faster than the pursuers' war horse.

Luo Song gritted his teeth and just as he was about to issue the order to "turn around to fight", a reinforcement that he had never expected broke into the Leiqun County cavalry and pursuers.

In the sequence of the four-county coalition forces, the cavalry in Bianjiang County was poorly equipped, poorly war horses, and less training. They always took on the "miscellaneous jobs" that the cavalry despised the most, rather than being regarded as a force that can determine the outcome, just like the cavalry in Leiqun County.

But this time, it was the cavalry of Bianjiang County who saved the cavalry of Leiqun County.

Lieutenant Legener, the commander of the light cavalry of Bianjiang County, realized that the battle situation had changed, and immediately gathered all his subordinates whom he could gather and came quickly to support him.

Lieutenant Legener seized a perfect attack window, which was beyond the expectations of the friendly forces and the enemy. Although the enemy cavalry tried hard to adjust the formation to deal with it, they were still cut off by the light cavalry of Bianjiang County.

"The people from Bianjiang County have dragged the puppet army!" The lieutenant commanding the light cavalry of Leiqun County caught up with Luo Song and shouted at the top of his lungs: "There is a trampling in front of him!"

Captain Luosong turned his head and looked back at the battle to fight against the friendly troops of Bianjiang County in the smoke and dust. They were too few and were also exhausted because they had undertaken the task of covering the battlefield. All they could do was to delay the enemy.

The lieutenant of the Light Cavalry of Leiqun County repeated: "People's way!"

"Stop!" Luo Song pulled the reins violently, and the horse under his crotch was pulled up and stood up. The captain pulled out his sabre and yelled and ordered: "Turn! Welcome the enemy!"

...

Meanwhile, on the other end of the battlefield, Geisa Adonis easily captured the east bank of the upper and upper reaches of the unknown river.

When two brigades deployed by the enemy on the river bank used muskets to shoot against Baishan County troops across the river, they still had to fight back and forth. Once they entered hand-to-hand combat, they could immediately flee in panic.

The sword and shield hands of Baishan County were like dogs chasing rabbits, clearing the brown-clothed soldiers out of the small farm on the east coast.

However, Colonel Geisa's feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger - the combat effectiveness shown by the enemy was completely inconsistent with Colonel Bode's prediction before the war.

The three brigades deployed by the enemy in the rear did not take any action, and the friendly forces who were sitting and watching the river bank were repelled.

Since he couldn't figure out what Sanel was doing, Colonel Geis was not going to think about it anymore. No matter what Sanel had, he would find out if he punched it.

"Beat the drum!" Colonel Geisa ordered: "Advance!"

Just as Geisa decided to confront him head-on, Saner also rushed to the left wing of the parliamentary army.

Colonel Sanel Karoy, the nominal commander of the parliamentary army, rushed straight into the three squares in the second front, in the center, and was harsh and scolded another soldier in the uniform of the school officer: "You are still moving?"

The school official who was scolded glanced at Sanel coldly: "You and I are in the same rank, Colonel Sanel, I am not your subordinate."

"Okay! OK! OK!!! OK!" Saner said three times, suppressing his anger, and asked gritting his teeth: "When will you be willing to attack? Najib - Colonel!"

"The time is right, I will order the attack."

"The plan has changed! It's too late!"

"The Sixth Legion is the ballast of the Republic. It is precisely because of the existence of the Fifth and Sixth Legion that the little ones have to bow their knees and worship their loyalty. If the Sixth Legion loses too much power here, the Grand Parliament will shake the rule of Paratu." The colonel known as Najib looked at Sanel and said calmly: "As for your people, it doesn't matter if you die at all."

Sanel was almost shouting: "My people are dead, and yours can't live!"

"Is that true?" Colonel Najib looked as usual: "I don't think so."

After saying that, he nodded slightly and ignored Sanel.
