Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 787: Go, long live the Tang Dynasty!

"Cavalry!" The artillery lieutenant colonel's face immediately became a little darker, and then he said loudly: "All stop shooting, stop, hurry!"

"Transfer the muzzle, all move, speed!"

After the Ming army cavalry on the opposite side appeared, it was already starting to speed up slowly, and everyone knew that once the cavalry charged, its speed was very fast, and the cavalry bureau could rush over in the blink of an eye.

Although the artillery positions are deployed on the top of the hill, theoretically, the strength of the cavalry charge can be weakened, but the cavalry is really going to be aggressive, and this kind of gentle **** can also rush up.

At the same time, on the left and right sides of the artillery position, the commanders of an infantry regiment responsible for covering the artillery position also noticed this change. The soldiers were running in small steps, and then began to face the Ming army on the half slope. Cavalry formation.

"Quick, line up!"

This infantry regiment has never been on the front line, and its purpose is to protect the artillery positions nearby. After all, the artillery position on the left wing has more than 50 field artillery pieces of the Second Army, and there is another large-scale artillery on the other side. There are also more than 60 artillery pieces there, so in addition to the defensive array composed of auxiliary forces such as the artillery force's own musketeer transport troops, Li Chunjing also specially arranged an infantry regiment of the 7th Infantry Division to assist in the defense.

And now, it's time for them to come in handy!

In an instant, the artillery position, which was originally rumbling, was quiet.

Some of the artillerymen were dazed, some nervous, watching the approaching Ming cavalry.

At this time, the lieutenant colonel of the artillery began to order again: "Prepare for shotguns!!"

At the same time, the infantry regiment on one side was also lined up, and then the infantry began to load and ignite the arquebus. The spearmen listed a dense phalanx, but the array of this infantry regiment was not simply facing the front. Instead, an infantry battalion was deployed in front and to the left and right.

The mobility of other people's cavalry is very high. If you line up directly in front, they will not foolishly attack the front, but will detour and attack the flanks.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, the sound of gunfire was still rumbling, and in some places the infantry phalanxes on both sides had even been charged with hand-to-hand combat, but here, there was silence.

On the mountain, the artillerymen of the artillery unit had already reloaded in advance, and had already transported the subsequent ammunition in advance, ready to reload the second round at any time.

Faced with the charge of cavalry or infantry, the artillery units will no longer care about the service life of the gun barrels as usual, but will fight as fast as they can, otherwise, they will die.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was less than 300 meters away, and it was already starting to detour to the left, the commanders of the infantry regiment urgently cast an infantry battalion as a reserve to the left, and also temporarily. A temporary phalanx formed by the transports who took over the artillery.

The soldiers in the two infantry battalions and the subsequent phalanx of an artillery transporter immediately formed a dense phalanx on the left, right and rear of the artillery position.

And in the middle is a large number of artillery with temporary muzzle conversion!

At 300 meters, the Ming army's cavalry had already begun to speed up significantly. Countless iron hooves stepped on the ground, making a loud rumbling sound, like thunder falling from the sky, making people tremble physically and mentally when they heard it!

Two hundred meters, at this time, the artillery lieutenant colonel finally commanded the knife: "Shoot!"

Dozens of artillery pieces suddenly roared, and the countless shrapnel they fired rushed towards the Ming army cavalry rushing forward like a giant net!

Then these Ming cavalry fell down row after row in unison. However, this could not stop the charge of the Ming cavalry!

They rode on high-speed horses and began to charge up through the gentle hillside, but they had to charge directly to the artillery position and also needed to pass the infantry phalanx in front of the artillery position.

When the artillerymen were rapidly firing shotguns, the Ming cavalry at the forefront was already less than fifty meters away from the infantry formation!

"Shoot!" The musketeers also issued the first and last round of musket shooting. After the shooting, these musketeers raised their muskets and turned into shields with the spearmen beside them, serving as a shield for the artillerymen. Block the charge from the cavalry!

At this time, there were also a large number of casualties in the infantry array. After the cavalry of the Ming army rushed to the vicinity, they had already begun to bend their bows and shoot arrows, and they were indeed the elites of the frontier troops. warhorse arches with a bow.

After shooting arrows, they quickly collided with the seemingly thin phalanx of infantry in front of them.

A moment later, countless cavalry and infantry were entangled together. At that moment, countless infantrymen of the Tang Dynasty were rammed by the horses and flew out, but there were also many cavalry and spears and musket bayonet overturned and dismounted.

At this time, the artillerymen in the rear continued to fire, and it was naturally impossible for the enemy's cavalry to charge only those people in front, and there were still many cavalrymen behind!

Under the rumbling of the artillery, the lieutenant colonel of the artillery looked at the front line while looking to the right frequently!

Ahead, the enemy's cavalry, although the casualties were not small, had completely overwhelmed the three infantry phalanxes of their own, and several infantry battalions on the flanks were rushing over to try to entangle them.

But the artillery lieutenant colonel knew that facing the three thousand Ming cavalry, just relying on the infantry in front of him and his own artillery transports would not be able to stop them.

After all, there are too many cavalry in the Ming army. Even if the infantry and transport can block some of the cavalry, they can still divide a lot of cavalry to destroy their artillery positions.

It doesn't take much. Hundreds of Ming cavalrymen break through the infantry's defensive line and kill him, and his artillery position will be completely destroyed.

Whether they can survive, hope is not in their own resistance, but in the source of their own cavalry!

On the right, a cavalry unit is coming at high speed. They are the second cavalry detachment of the second army. They have assembled two cavalry battalions and two cavalry teams of the second army, a total of more than 800 cavalry!

The changes in the artillery position also instantly attracted the attention of most of the generals and soldiers on both sides. Even if they were still hundreds of meters or more apart, they could still see the tragic situation here.

Countless cavalrymen of the Ming Army almost used war horses and their own bodies to forcefully knock out a passage from the infantry phalanx!

They tried to break through the interception of these thieves' infantry before the arrival of the cavalry reinforcements of the pseudo-Tang thieves, and then razed the artillery position to the ground.

However, they desperately broke through, but the infantry of the Datang Army also desperately resisted. For a time, although the infantry of the Datang Army suffered heavy casualties, the cavalry of the Ming Army could not make a breakthrough in a short time.

At this time, the 800 Tang Army cavalrymen who came to the right with emergency reinforcements raised their sabres high and sounded the horn of the charge. The shape begins the final acceleration!

In an instant, these cavalrymen formed a dense cavalry wall, and then killed the array of Ming cavalry from the right!

As a result, the scene on the entire mountain is even more chaotic!

However, Li Chunjing in the distance looked at the chaos on the hillside with his binoculars, but he didn't look any further, but ordered: "Order the whole army to launch a general attack!"

Immediately, the semaphore soldiers behind him began to wave a unified semaphore. At the same time, in order to ensure that the order was delivered without error, the messengers also began to run around the battlefield on the best horses.

At the same time, Chen Keqiao was sitting on a Taishi chair that he didn't know where it came from, squinting, and raised one foot on an ammunition box, while the personal soldiers beside him were making tea for him.

On the other hand, the several staff officers on the side were mostly nervous.

It's not that someone else looked at Chen Keqiao next to him, but Chen Keqiao didn't seem to be here to fight, but to go on vacation. He squinted and ignored other changes on the battlefield.

Immediately, someone couldn't help but said to him: "Sir, the artillery position on the left wing was attacked by the enemy cavalry, and the situation is not very good!"

Chen Keqiao didn't open his eyes, but said, "Has the artillery position been destroyed?"

The staff officer on the side said: "This is not yet!"

"Then it's over, don't worry about the things we shouldn't worry about!" After Chen Keqiao finished speaking, he stopped talking again.

It didn't take long, suddenly a staff officer trotted over, and then said loudly: "The commander has an order: the whole army is attacking!"

At this time, Chen Keqiao opened his eyes, and then half-squinted his eyes and looked forward: "It is indeed time to attack. If we don't attack, others think we are on vacation!"

He got up from the chair, and then Chen Keqiao waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to lead the horse over, then turned over and mounted the horse, but found that a group of people behind him were still standing still, and immediately said: "Why, still I really want to go on vacation, let’s go!”

At this time, the other talents turned on their horses one after another, and someone walked up to Chen Keqiao and said, "How do we attack next?"

Chen Keqiao glanced at him: "How else can you attack, just rush over!"

After all, Chen Keqiao ignored him, and then said loudly: "Send the order, the whole army charges!"

After giving the order, he followed his troops slowly forward, and at the same time, the soldiers of his 5th Infantry Division also began to stride forward!

Also beginning to stride forward are the 7th Infantry Division of the Central Army and the two mixed regiments on the left flank!

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Second Army, when the cavalry of the Ming Army attacked their artillery positions, directly launched a charge of the whole army!

Seeing this scene, the Ming army generals on the opposite side also realized that the final decisive battle is finally here!

The Ming army began to use artillery shelling~www.wuxiax.com~ to intercept with muskets, but the soldiers of the Second Army in front of them did not fire back fire as if they did not see the shells and bullets, but kept their heads down. Step forward!

And when they rushed to only more than 30 meters, they fired a direct salvo, then dropped bombs, and then followed!

In the countless shouts, they just rushed up!

Tens of thousands of people immediately scuffled together!

At this time, the cavalry of the second cavalry detachment had already penetrated through the cavalry array of the Ming army, leaving countless corpses of the enemy and us wherever they passed.

However, the formation of the Ming cavalry was directly cut off!

After the cavalry of the second cavalry detachment penetrated the Ming cavalry, they continued to maintain a high-speed turn, and then waved their saber again, shouting the slogan of Long Live the Tang Dynasty, and launched a second charge towards the Ming cavalry!

"Kill!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"
