"Oh my god! Such a terrifying cannon attack? How many cannons did the government army have in the city?”
"Such a fierce bombardment is simply unheard of!”
"There's no way to continue this battle. It's impossible for us to take down Lushan County!”
"I'm not fighting anymore. I want to bring the team back to the mountains. If we continue fighting, everyone will die. How can we survive?”
The Northern Army's fierce bombardment caused the bandits to suffer heavy losses.
It made the leaders of the bandits feel as if their hearts were bleeding.
But now, it was obvious that there was no hope of victory. They naturally wanted to preserve their strength and did not want to continue fighting.
These bandits had originally formed a temporary alliance due to the threat of the Northern Army. Under such unfavorable circumstances, their collapse was obvious.
"Alright, stop arguing. At this point, do we have any other choice?”Bai Lang spoke.
"Boss Bai, what do you mean?”A bandit leader asked.
"I just received news that the main force of the government troops has returned to reinforce. We are surrounded by the main force of the government troops. It was already impossible to return to the mountainous area of Yuxi.”
"What is it? How did this happen?"
"Bai Lang, is this a trap set by you and the government troops to trick us into taking the bait?”
"That's right! Bai Lang, this was clearly a trap. You actually lied to us for your own glory and wealth. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
When the bandit leaders learned that they could no longer return to the mountainous area of western Henan, they immediately pointed their fingers at Bai Lang.
"Will I join the government army? Don't slander me. In every attack, which one of my men didn't charge at the front, and which one of my men didn't suffer the most casualties?”Bai Lang was furious.
The bandit leaders immediately stopped talking.
Indeed, in the battle to attack Lushan County, Bai Lang's troops suffered more losses than the other bandits. Based on this alone, Bai Lang would not betray them and collude with the government troops.
"Everyone, this time, it might really be a trap set by the government army, waiting for us to take the bait. However, we have no other choice now. If we can take down Lushan County and capture Second Young Master Yuan alive, we still have a chance to live. Otherwise, you'll definitely die!"
"Yes, Boss Bai is right. We have to risk our lives!”
"Eighteen years later, I will still be a good man!”
The bandit leaders knew that if they did not fight, they would definitely die. Their fighting spirit was ignited again. They began to reorganize the bandits who had retreated in a sorry state and prepared to launch another attack.
Lushan County, the 7th Cavalry Regiment.
The Northern Army cavalry was also a small establishment. Below the regiment was the company. There was no battalion. Each regiment had four cavalry companies under their command, and with the addition of the regiment headquarters, they had a total of more than a thousand people.
Such a force was comparable to a cavalry regiment of the Japanese army.
"Regiment commander, the command is to leave the city in five minutes and charge at the bandits.”An officer reported.
"Good! It's finally our turn. Those bandits must not be killed by the Artillery Regiment. If that's the case, what's the point of us fighting!”
Indeed, the 7th Artillery Regiment's fierce bombardment had made the Cavalry Regiment soldiers excited and worried.
They were excited because such a fierce bombardment would definitely cause the bandits to suffer heavy losses and even lower their morale. In this way, he only needed to launch a charge and he would be able to defeat the bandits.
But at the same time, they were worried. The artillery regiment's bombardment was so fierce. If the bandits were all killed, wouldn't they have worked for nothing?
Five minutes later, the western city gate of Lushan County opened, and rows of cavalrymen filed out.
At this moment, the artillery regiment stopped firing.
On the battlefield, there were corpses everywhere, and broken limbs flew everywhere.
Some soldiers even held back and started vomiting.
"Coward!"
The commander of the 7th Cavalry Regiment cursed in disdain.
"7th Cavalry Regiment, draw your swords!"
The snow-white saber was drawn out. Under the sunlight, it shone with a cold light.
A thousand horses were lined up in two formations.
The soldiers pulled the reins of the ship and held their sabers in one hand, ready to attack.
"Attack! Beat down those bandits!"
The commander of the 7th Cavalry Regiment ordered.
The cavalrymen shouted loudly and spurred their horses into a gallop.
The warhorses began to gallop, their speed increasing from slow to fast.
Before tanks and armored vehicles appeared, cavalry was undoubtedly the most powerful assault force on the battlefield.
A warhorse that weighed half a ton would undoubtedly have an extremely powerful assault ability.
Without a large number of automatic weapons, it was almost impossible for ordinary infantrymen to resist the charge of the cavalry.
Especially when the 7th Cavalry Regiment was only facing a group of bandits. Therefore, they didn't even use their lances. Instead, they used their sabers to charge.
