C286 Blocking Cavalry Battalion (2/2)
In the musket era, people could only fill guns with ammunition while standing in formation. They would act like puppets and repeat the movements mechanically, at that time, every soldier in the war was more like a screw.
After that, in the era of wielding guns, the soldiers were finally freed from the long line of soldiers. People could hide in bunkers and hide behind obstacles to load ammunition, and with the addition of the widespread use of fixed ammunition with bullet shells, the frequency and accuracy of soldiers' shooting would increase exponentially, and the safety rate was also increasing.
By the time the First World War began, trench warfare had become the mainstream of the battlefield, and civil engineering had become a compulsory course for the armies of the various countries.
However, the Europeans have yet to realize this, this was the magical equipment that Xiao Letian, the teleporter, was relying on. It was these completely new ideas of war that had transcended the era that had allowed him to achieve victory all the way to today.
The Prussian soldiers s were all dumbstruck. Although their military training had classes on temporary jobs, they were definitely not as adept as these Chinese. He watched as holes were dug out one by one. The mud was slapped neatly to form small shooting arenas. From afar, they looked like standard parts of a factory.
Not only that, there were a lot of new troops bustling around in the forest and hills ahead of the firing area. Even the Prussian soldiers in the distance couldn't see them clearly.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and when a low vibration suddenly came from the west, everyone realized that the Cavalry Battalion was getting closer and closer.
”Retreat, everyone retreat …” ”Back to the bunker, ready to fire...” Orders from officers of all ranks rose and fell, like the waves of the ocean, from the center of the formation to the two wings.
After the clanging sounds of the bolts and hammers, killing intent instantly filled the entire battlefield. At this moment, even the Prussian army who had experienced a lot in battle also broke out into a cold sweat.
This was the Fa Rui border, so the Prussian army could not get involved no matter what. If the fire went off, then the upcoming war would not be between the Poo War, but the Franco-Prussian War.
”Retreat, all Prussian army retreat, stay far away from the battlefield, avoid encountering the French army …” The silent army began to retreat. Although everyone was unwilling, no one could disobey the military order.
Xiao Letian's hands were covered with sweat, the telescope that he was tightly gripping was drenched in sweat. Faint smoke was already rising from the dense forest in the distance, which meant that the French vanguard unit was getting closer and closer.
This was the place where the trees and hills intersected. As long as the cavalry could rush out from the road, they would be able to move quickly in the hills, and the cavalry formed a very terrifying formation.
If the new army wanted to defeat these horsemen, they would have to disrupt their troops' formation before they could form a formation in the dense forest.
”They're here, they're here. No one is allowed to attack as they please. They are all listening to orders to lure the enemy in …”
At the command of countless military officers, several war horses charged out of the jungle, followed by a series of shouts in French.
Following closely behind vanguard cavalry was the smoke of countless of cavalry, their large horses galloping up the hill one after another, the French army saw the burning military camp at a glance.
”Oh God, look... Our military camp was attacked by these barbarians, and they captured the border post. ”
”What?” These Chinese people actually dare to stop us? Are they lying on the ground waiting to die? ”Hahaha, they actually dug their own graves and are waiting for us to kill them …”
”Look, there's a group of people at the checkpoint!” Was it the fleeing Eastern high-ranking official? Who cares if it is or not, warriors of the France, prepare for battle, use our horses' hooves and trample these bandits to death … ”
At that moment, the ground was filled with thunder, countless horses trampled on the trembling stones on the ground, and the loud and clear sound of their hooves caused them to jump, the big and powerful Arabian horses were able to move fast in just a few seconds.
”Speed up, speed up, the lads of France, hurry up … ”With such a short distance, they can only fire two rounds at most. They won't be able to threaten us at all …”
”Aiyo, what the f * ck …” Just when the leading officer was about to boost the morale of his men, the horse suddenly lost its footing and tumbled to the ground, throwing him away.
Amidst the shrill sounds of the battle horses were the howls of the leading officer and the sound of his bones breaking. With such speed, the horse simply could not stop. Before he could stand up, the horse's hooves had already stepped on his head.
With a pfft, it was as if a rotten watermelon was stepped on, causing the entire ground to be covered with red and white legume.
”There's something strange on the ground. Everyone, be careful …” Before the other rider could finish his words, his war horse lost control of itself. The front half of the war horse fell to its knees, fiercely throwing him into the air.
Right at this moment, the New Army's position suddenly let out a burst of loud shouting, ”Fire!” ”Everyone open fire …” After a string of gunshots, the howls of countless war horses and the wails of dying soldiers could be heard.
