[Chapter 899 Bloody Battle in the Valley]
“Kill!”
Just as the Dongpu cavalry rushed towards the bayonet pointing obliquely, the marines in the front row let out a roar. on the ground.
This will ensure that the cavalry will not rush them down with guns.
At this moment, Pan Chang’s pupils shrank slightly.
However, his heart is calm, thinking that the battle is settled.
At the moment when the Japanese cavalry charged on a large scale, he was a little worried.
After all, they have never confronted cavalry head-on.
Moreover, the front row of these Japanese cavalry all rode tall Beidi war horses.
The most important thing for cavalry is the horse, which will determine the impact of the cavalry.
But after all the cavalry in the front row were dead, he felt relieved.
Because the rest of the cavalry rode on Japanese pony horses.
The height of this kind of war horse is about the same as that of Dasong’s donkey.
In addition, the Dongying people themselves are shorter than the Dasong people.
Let them change from a situation where a human plus a horse is two meters tall, to a situation where a human plus a horse is 1.67 meters tall.
“Hiss…” As
he was thinking, the Dongpu cavalry hit the bayonet.
The sharp bayonet stabbed into the body of the Japanese warhorse in an instant, causing the warhorse to let out a mournful cry.
Immediately, the pony that suffered from pain no longer continued to rush forward, but raised its front hooves high.
War horses are creatures after all, and no matter how strictly trained a war horse is, it will instinctively avoid threats to its life.
However, due to the weak impact of pony horses, the marines in the front row successfully resisted the impact of this part of the cavalry.
The other cavalry took the opportunity to raise their bayonets and pick off the Japanese soldiers on their horses.
The cavalry who charged into the hollow phalanx were quickly wiped out.
The Japanese cavalry who turned back to the side faced the guns of the marine soldiers.
Amidst bursts of gunfire, eight or nine hundred cavalry fell one by one.
There were also timid cavalrymen who were frightened and fled out of the valley.
“Scatter the Liberty Society to shoot.” The Japanese cavalry was defeated, and the generals did not relax their vigilance, and immediately shouted.
The hollow phalanx immediately transformed into a large horizontal team.
Three rows on the east side and three rows on the west side.
They also showed three rows of soldiers aiming at the advancing Japanese infantry.
While they were fighting the cavalry, these Japanese infantry had been marching.
At this time, they were less than 200 meters away.
Compared with cavalry, the number of Japanese infantry is obviously much larger.
They are still quite dangerous if you let them come within flintlock range.
Fortunately, the march of the Japanese infantry was not very smooth.
The corpses of cavalry and horses made it impossible for them to maintain a uniform formation.
And they were obviously sticking to the line formation, and the Japanese generals kept asking the soldiers to adjust their positions in order to maintain the formation.
This made their progress slow again.
“Bang bang bang…” The
marines obviously didn’t want to give them time to march leisurely.
After dispersing, the soldiers assumed various shooting positions.
Zhan Li, kneeling on one knee, lying on the stomach, and touching the ridge to cover himself.
Unlike facing the cavalry, they didn’t want to be approached by the Japanese infantry, so they fired a volley.
Scattered, due to the accuracy of the Qin-style rifles, it does not affect them to shoot and kill the opponent’s soldiers, and it can also avoid being shot in line.
Intensive gunfire sounded, and the Japanese infantry died instantly.
Their dense formations are a target for Marines.
Soldiers don’t even need to aim, they just fire their guns into the crowd.
At this time, it reflects the embarrassment of the line formation facing the skirmish line.
If they were scattered, with the accuracy of the flintlock guns, they would basically have no lethality.
Concentration will suffer serious losses.
The Japanese infantry generals were also stupid.
They had never seen such a way of fighting.
In the past, the soldiers of King Yan at least reloaded while standing.
How could King Yan soldiers lie on the ground and reload this time?
But the battlefield does not allow them to think about it at all, and the soldiers of King Yan are shooting at them frantically.
The marching Japanese soldiers kept falling.
Soon, layers of corpses were spread on the ground.
The short distance of 200 meters was an insurmountable obstacle for the Japanese soldiers.
Behind the formation of Japanese soldiers, Kukii watched the battlefield.
The fall of the cavalry made him pale, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.
Now, too, the infantry’s attack was clearly hampered, to his horror.
The belief that he must win just now collapsed in an instant.
All that remains in my heart is fear.
This King Yan army was beyond his knowledge.
How could they fight them with such free posture.
Most importantly, when viewed through a telescope, the muskets of these soldiers seemed to be different from the previous muskets, and several times more terrifying than the previous muskets.
“What to do? What to do?” Jiuguijing’s mind went blank.
The Watanabe case entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of stopping Yan Wang’s soldiers and horses.
If the mission fails, Baihe City will not be able to defend.
If Baihe City cannot be defended, the case of General Du Bian will not escape.
After that, Haruno Yamada will suffer failure all the way.
This means that their south will fail completely.
Chaotic thoughts recurred in his mind.
Kukii finally issued an order, “All charge, fight directly!”
He was fed up with the slow line march.
After the order was conveyed, the Dongpu soldiers no longer cared about the formation, and rushed forward in a swarm.
Pan Chang was protected by the soldiers in the middle and had been observing the battlefield.
Realizing the change in Japan’s tactics, he sneered.
The order was passed on immediately, but the soldiers were assembled and formed into a tight formation.
This is the best way to deal with a disorganized army.
Received the order of Pan Chang, the Marine Corps general ordered the soldiers to shoot and gather at the same time.
Since the Qin-style rifle does not require cumbersome loading methods, soldiers can easily complete this action.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Marine Corps are all people with tactical literacy, and when the other soldiers move, they will know what Pan Zhang’s order is.
So the soldiers quickly regrouped.
The bullets fired by the phalanx are denser and more deadly.
The Dongpu soldiers who rushed over fell on the way of charging at an alarming speed, and then the substitute Dongpu soldiers continued to charge up.
This saw for a quarter of an hour.
The corpses of Japanese soldiers gradually piled up into a hill thirty meters in front of the marines.
Blood flowed through the rice fields like a stream.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer companions, King Yan’s soldiers are like a steel city wall, unbreakable.
Seems like a morale breaking point has been reached.
Following a Dongpu, he left the battlefield and ran out of the valley.
The Dongpu soldiers finally collapsed completely, and they fled in all directions like a herd of deer being chased by tigers.
“Come back! Come back!” Kukii looked in horror at the Japanese soldiers who had completely lost their morale due to fear.
He shouted loudly, but none of the soldiers paid him any attention.
Shocked and angry, he jumped off his horse and drew out his Dongying knife to chop at the fleeing soldiers.
But even so, it still couldn’t stop the collapse.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his brows.
Then slowly fell down.
A hundred meters away from him, Pan Chang threw the Qin-style rifle to the soldiers beside him.
After noticing this lunatic Japanese general, under the protection of his personal guards, he bullied him and shot him dead.
Snorting, Chang Pan looked towards Baihe City, and said, “It’s time to understand the war on the Eastern Front, brothers, it’s time to catch the Watanabe case alive.”
