Zhu Yaozu was very satisfied with the aluminum. The watchtower was very satisfied. This thing was six to seven meters tall. After pulling it open, it stood on a small mound. The scouts stood on it with binoculars and could see the changes within a dozen miles. Of course, the surrounding area had to be like the Huaibei Plain. This thing was very limited in the mountainous south.
To the north of the Huaihe River was the Huanghuai Plain. Further north was the Mongolian Plateau. To the west of the Mongolian Plateau was the Western Region where the Han people once rode horses and galloped. Huaibei was undoubtedly the starting point for the Liberation Army cavalry to finally be able to achieve their ambitions. Therefore, the troops hoped to accumulate the experience of the Liberation Army cavalry here, even if this experience required the blood of the Liberation Army's brave soldiers. Zhu Yaozu's troops were between the two Huai army. The brigade headquarters had a certain degree of decision-making power. In the face of changes in the battle situation, whether to carry out a cavalry attack or not appeared.
Finally, troops moving south in panic finally appeared on the horizon. The Huai army, who were at a disadvantage in terms of tactics, did not choose to escape back to Huoyang. Instead, they prepared to rescue their allies next to them. The brigade commander, Zhu Yaozu, exchanged glances with his comrades in the brigade headquarters. Obtaining the final victory with the smallest possible cost was very easy for the Liberation Army. Some of the cavalry dismounted, while the others carried out harassment tactics to slightly restrain the enemy troops. This was enough to buy enough time.
However, using the wave of elite cavalry to completely destroy the enemy on the plain was what the cavalry troops yearned for the most. This was also the cavalry's specialty on the battlefield. Until now, the cavalry had not had the chance to personally experience such a battle.
Zhu Yaozu's eyes flashed with excitement, and the eyes of the other members of the brigade headquarters flashed with the same emotion. Giving such an order when they could "avoid casualties" was indeed not something they could say. These were human lives, and an attitude of disregard for human lives was terrifying for an army. However, everyone had a strong reason to make such a choice. After all, it would not be long before the Liberation Army faced the Sengrinchen cavalry in Henan. Experience now meant fewer losses in the future.
"Attack!" Zhu Yaozu said.
The General Staff had already prepared a map, including the situation on the ground and the direction of the nearby rivers. Once the cavalry began their attack, it would not be as simple as killing the enemy. That was to kill until the enemy was completely annihilated.
Jiang Zhong? F had already seen the Liberation Army cavalry blocking the way in front of the Huai army. He ordered the Huai army infantry to stop temporarily. The generals of the Huai army had never seen so many cavalrymen gathered together. They ran over in fear to ask what they should do. Jiang Zhong? F shouted, "What are you afraid of? If they dare to come up, we will shoot them with a volley of guns. The horse is so big, how could it miss? "
After shouting, Jiang Zhong? F suddenly thought of something and continued to shout, "The horses are so big. When they fall, they will block the road. Let's calm down and put down our guns. We don't have to be afraid of them!"
This reasonable explanation made the Huai army generals feel much more at ease. However, they did not think of another thing. The purpose of this trip was to save Liu Kunyi in the south. Jiang Zhong in the north? F and the others were also unable to move in their positions. What if the Liberation Army killed Liu Kunyi and then came over?
"Oh? They stopped and gathered. This Huai army is really interesting. "Zhu Yaozu laughed.
The comrades of the Brigade Department were also overjoyed. Someone joked, "Are these people living in the ancient times?"
"Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would never do such a stupid thing!" A comrade sneered.
"Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are cavalry. It was Li Mu who defeated the cavalry." A comrade who was good at military history corrected his comrade's mistakes.
Although they were talking, they did not delay what they should do. The cavalry was no longer the kind of troops that could not do anything when faced with a dense enemy formation. The infantry needed horses to pull the cannons, but the cavalry never lacked horses to pull the sports cars. The Liberation Army had their own cavalry cannons. The new bearings allowed the speed of the cannon to keep up with the cavalry. Playing the hedgehog tactic in front of the cavalry was suicidal.
Jiang Zhong? F saw more than a dozen squads dragging cannons suddenly appear from the Liberation Army cavalry. Before the Huai army had time to react, the squads ran out of the Huai army's rifle range and stopped. The artillery began to fire fiercely at the Huai army at an astonishing speed.
The cannons were not installed in the front at all. No one knew how the Liberation Army cavalry had fiddled with the cannons in the back, but the cannonballs flew out of the muzzles and exploded violently in the Huai army formation. The firing speed of the cannon was even faster than the rifles in front of it. In less than a minute, before Jiang Zhong could react, F saw the trick. The Huai army's formation was hit by nearly a hundred cannons.
The Huai army was first stunned by the fierce bombardment. After being hit by the fierce bombardment, the Huai army did not know who was the first to react. Letting out a blood-curdling scream, he turned around and ran. Before the artillery attack, there were still about four thousand of the nearly five thousand Huai army soldiers who were still in a state of complete defense. These people turned their heads at the same time and began to escape from the fierce bombardment of the Liberation Army.
"If we encounter such a thing, we must rush forward!" Zhu Yaozu shouted to his comrades. If the Huai army desperately launched an attack on the Liberation Army cavalry artillery position 300 meters away, they might be able to achieve some results. There was no more foolish choice than to be hit by cannons in the process of retreating.
After shouting, Zhu Yaozu jumped on the horse and shouted, "Chase!"
More than a thousand warhorses began to move forward, and five thousand horse hooves made a rumbling sound on the ground. Under the sun, the soldiers carried lances on their backs and held bright sabers in their hands, chasing after the fleeing Huai army. More than a dozen cavalry cannons were still bombarding. When the vanguard of the cavalry crossed the line formed by more than a dozen cavalry cannons, the shell casings on the ground had piled up two layers. The days when infantrymen could fight against the cavalry by holding a long stick and standing side by side were gone forever.
The distance of one kilometer passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Yaozu rushed to the front of the army. When he ordered the army to face greater sacrifices, Zhu Yaozu could not find a reason not to rush to the front line. The bright steel saber in his hand danced like a wheel. Chasing behind the Huai army, Zhu Yaozu leaned slightly from the horse and chopped at the back of the Huai army's neck with his saber.
