Chapter 0139 Attack on the Desert
The horn kept ringing, stubbornly directing the mysterious desert cavalry to rush to the flame demon until the horn sounded gradually sad and hoarse.
I don't know how many enemy troops there are. The Dragon Army maintained continuous firepower in an orderly manner. In order to cool the barrel, the two battalions were divided into three directions of guarding the battalion in multiple batches. The people who did not fight cleaned up the barrel and alerted the rear. If the lucky man rushed into the camp, more than a dozen soldiers would immediately surround him and shoot him off the horse at the same time. Such postures and tactics can effectively prevent accidental injuries, and at the same time, there is no reason for the lucky man to survive again.
Bai Bing's on-site command expertise was brought into full play. This was the first large-scale night battle of the Dragon Army. Fortunately, with the help of the moonlight, there has been no problem, but a few people were shot by cold arrows, and the person who shot the cold arrows was naturally immediately knocked down by gunfire.
War is like this. There are many accidental factors and coincidences. If a flower does not go out for relaxation, if tonight is a night without moonlight, the consequences will be very serious. At least, the great casualties of the Dragon Army are inevitable. However, by chance, there is also an inevitability. The sharp firearms of the Dragon Army, leading the technology and firearms combat concept of the whole era are their biggest support.
The cavalry's charge has been almost continuous. Even if there is a short pause, it is obvious that it is temporarily accumulating strength, and then it is a big charge.
The tactics of cavalry are also changeable. The frontal attack, flank detour, bow and horse alternation fully show the strong strength of this cavalry and rich experience in the cavalry group. Unfortunately, they met the Dragon Army. It is estimated that the only way to break through the Dragon Army is the heavy armored cavalry and long-range cannons. Obviously, there were no cavalry for the surprise attack, and the ending was also tragic.
The morning light appeared, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and of course, the strong blood, with the stench of internal organs.
The crazy attack of the cavalry finally stopped. At dawn, the charge was only in vain. The horn finally changed helplessly. Hundreds of panicked by the surrounding tragedy turned their horses and fled to the distance.
Bai Bing calmly commanded light ammunition and healed the wounded soldiers. At night, he still caused some trouble to the Dragon Army, injuring more than a dozen people, two of whom were seriously injured.
Zhuo Fan also failed to continue with the little bell. This may be the last night of lingering. He has been in the middle to control the overall situation. Bai Bing came over and bowed and said, "General, the enemy has retreated. Our army has suffered very little casualties, and the ammunition has been lost 20%. Please tell me whether to pursue it."
"Chasing, the second battalion left a guard, the third battalion attacked, and the third battalion dared to attack me. In the middle of the night, the ghost cried and howled, told Li Xiang to kill all these bastards. Let him remember that Laozi's Dragon Army can only fight and refuse to accept it. We are musket light cavalry. If we can't escape those rabbits, we don't have to come back to see me." Zhuo Fan stared and resolutely gave the order. This is the pursuit to test the mobility of the Dragon Army. Advanced firearms give the Dragon Army the ability to hit as soon as they can see it. As long as they can run past each other, there will be no problem.
"Yes." Bai Bing also feels that it is a good opportunity to train troops, and the other party has been disabled, and such an advantageous force will definitely take down the Dragon Army in one fell swoop, and there is little possibility of ambush.
At present, in the excited loud command of Li Xiang of the Third Battalion, the Third Battalion rushed out of the camp like wind and sand, and swept away in the direction of the sound of the horn.
In a short time, a sparse gunshot sounded, and gradually, thinking that the distance was getting farther and farther away.
Zhuo Fan ordered the camp to go to the seven-star city, the only city in Hami. He didn't worry much about Li Xiang. This dragon army had a clear goal at the beginning of training, that is, every battalion and even everyone, must eventually be able to stand alone, and in any case, maintain a strong battle. Strength and judgment. Finding the return of the brigade is just a piece of cake.
Half a year of training and war-for-training have had a good effect.
Less than a hundred miles away, soon, the seven-star city, a real exotic city in the western region, appeared in front of him. At this time, it should be the real out of the country. Looking at the earthy seven-star city in the distance, Zhuo Wufan suddenly thought of a funny thing. Should I get a passport or something?
Free, you can come out if you want to go abroad. It's better in this era.
Throw away the regrets in your heart and take a closer look at the seven-star city. All made of clay, so the whole city is uniformly khaki from a distance. It is not as strong as the Central Plains City, and it is easier to climb. However, this kind of rammed earth city is easier to build and can be built to make up for the lack of robustness.
The gate is also very elegant. The main gate also imitates the construction of the city gate building in the Central Plains. However, the style of the building is obviously the characteristics of the dome of the Western Regions, which is a product of a combination of East and West. It is normal to have such a building at the key point of the Silk Road connecting the East and the East.
However, at this time, the gate building is incomplete. Obviously, it has been attacked by artillery, and some places are still black. If you look carefully outside the city, there are also traces of brigade activities, and even the traces of camp fire are clearly visible. From afar, there should be a lot of people besieged the city at that time.
However, at this time, there was no one outside the city, and the door was also closed, which made people confused. Whether the army had retreated or entered the city, all these were unknown.
"Oh, extraordinary, that's great. That's my king's flag. My mother is fine, and my mother is fine." The timely cry of the little bell made Zhuo extraordinary temporarily relieved. It seems that the city has not been captured by the enemy. At this moment, the gate is closed, and it is obvious that it is their own party who are on guard. Think about it, no one who sees a strange brigade of soldiers and horses will be so stupid that they will open the door to greet them without knowing it.
There are small bells and Hami guards in the team. Little bells are anxious to enter the city, but they are stopped by Zhuo Fan. The people in the city don't know the details of the Dragon Army, and Zhuo Fan don't know what's going on in the city. Moreover, they were attacked by the brigade last night. If it were an ordinary Chinese army, I'm afraid they would have The whole army has been destroyed. At this time, naturally, we can't act rashly.
Hami's guard went to open the gate and enter the city. The Dragon Army guarded the small bells and still waited patiently outside the city. Zhuo Fan made up his mind that she could not see that Queen Hami would not let the small bells into the city.
After a long time, there was no movement at the gate, but there was a strange movement behind him.
A continuous gunshot is from far to near. Needless to ask, it must be the noise caused by the three battalions of the attack. The sound of the dragon is very easy to recognize.
There are also many people looking at the gate, and they can see clearly from the distance. In the distance, hundreds of machete cavalry galloped desperately. Behind them, Hula followed a large group of cavalry with very strange clothes and weapons. Not only that, the pursuing cavalry released a beautiful white fireworks from time to time, and the cavalry who fled for their lives in front of them. People kept falling from the horse, and then they heard the sound of the gunshot.
When the third battalion chased rabbits and came near the gate, there were only dozens of machete cavalry left and shouted at the head of the city one after another. However, they could not understand the Western dialect. Without waiting for any movement at the top of the city, Li Xiang and others who caught up behind went through a large row of guns. Not to mention a living person, there was not even a living horse left. Down.
Looking at Li Xiang coming over, Zhuo Fan stared angrily and said, "Isn't it enjoyable?"
"Haha, that's because we chased these bastards all the way to the southwest desert, but these seedless people didn't dare to enter the desert and ran back in a circle. Haha, boss, is our speed okay? I didn't disgrace you. Hey hey." Li Xiang said proudly.
"You lose your big head, damn it, why are you guys all moral and free of fire, right? Look at it yourself. Those dozens of unlucky people have become a sieve. How many times have I said it? It's not easy to supplement, so that you can save some. Shit, when Laozi's words are in the ear, right?" Zhuo Bofan scolded, scratched his head and laughed shyly. In this fight, how can he think of saving fire? They are all afraid that they can't open the meat.
Bai Bing came up to the round field and carefully asked about the pursuit. It turned out that those Western Regions cavalry were brave. Seeing that there were not many people chasing them, they tried to eat Li Xiang's troops. Naturally, it goes without saying that they left hundreds of corpses and continued to run away. I fled to the desert but didn't dare to go in. Presumably, it was also because of the light riding and simple travel. I didn't bring any water with me. I went in to die. If you can't defeat it, you can't escape, so you end up with the destruction of the whole army.
The Dragon Army here summed up its experience happily. There was a dead silence on the gate. I don't know if it was scared or something by the sharp firearms of the Dragon Army. After a long time, there was a movement.
The gate slowly opened, and a team of Ma Haohao slowly came out. After finishing the whole team at the gate, he came to the Dragon Army. Among them, there was actually a wooden horse, and dozens of wrestlers carried it, which was quite impressive.
The little bell had already jumped out of the carriage happily and shouted happily, "Exordinary, follow me. That's my mother's royal driver."
Zhuobufan was stunned. He didn't expect that after such a long delay, the king of one country came in person. Although the country is small, it is also a country. However, there is only poor lonely city and Hami, who is almost subjugated, still have such a big show, but he feels a little swollen face and fat.
Although I don't think so, this is my mother-in-law. Naturally, Zhuo Fan can only follow the little bell honestly.
