Chapter 151 The King of Cavalry Meets the King
When the telescope saw the soldiers jumping around in the distant valley, Huo Xiaohu finally let go of his heart, and then he was full of anger.
Why?
There are only more than 30 people who can jump around in the valley, and the others are all with wounds and colors, which add up to more than 20. You can estimate the approximate number with just one eye, including about 50 people.
There are 101 people in my third company!
The loss of one battle was nearly halfway. Thinking of so many comrades who had been with him day and night, Huo Xiaohu was so heartbroken that he could not breathe. He forced himself to calm down and took a few breaths, looking at the bandits in the distance with hatred.
For some reason, the bandits may not coordinate the order of who will attack first, or the division of spoils is uneven, and some of the bandits who rode their horses to meet him first turned back.
Through the telescope, it can be observed that several bandit leaders were quarreling fiercely, and some even pulled out their shiny saber.
Well, even though you guys are in conflict, my war horse can rest for a little longer.
Because the incident is in a hurry
Huo Xiaohu also had many soldiers under his command performing guards, guards and assisting in interrogation and record tasks. He did not have time to bring them together. Only more than 260 people came to the rescue urgently, and half of the company's soldiers were scattered throughout the Keynes Harbor.
However, Huo Xiaohu is very confident about the soldiers under his command. They are trained elite cavalry and may not be as good as cowboys on horseback, but the soldiers' high discipline and execution ability are combined with extremely sharp combat power and invincible.
The cowboys on the York Peninsula have always been famous for their toughness and fighting skills, and are not easy to deal with, so the horse bandits on the York Peninsula are very difficult to deal with, and many famous bounty hunters died here, fearing the cowboys on the York Peninsula as if they were tigers.
These white cowboys born in ranch didn't know a single word, they had a rude personality, and they drew their guns in a tavern when they were disagreeable in the tavern. They were famous for their fierce fighting and superb riding skills.
Tom Walcott shouted, and the key was that the large bounty was jealous, and most of the desperate people were willing to gain something.
Killing and being killed are the eternal themes of the wild York Peninsula.
Through the telescope, Tom Walcott's men took out a lot of money and distributed it to the bandits. It was like a dose of stimulant that made all the bandits become furious, screaming and riding on the war horse, and killing towards the Leopard Cavalry.
The hope of delaying time was dashed, and Huo Xiaohu could only smash his mouth with regret, and his eyes became firmer.
Even if it is the king of cavalry, let’s see who is better?
"All soldiers obey orders, all of them board the horses and prepare for battle!" With Huo Xiaohu's orders, the soldiers turned over and the cavalry battle was about to begin.
"Check weapons and ammunition, check war knives, check gear."
"Open the magazine, load the carriage bullets, turn on the rifle insurance, prepare for battle."
"Follow me now and move forward..." Huo Xiaohu was the first to instigate the horses and began to advance slowly. The brigade of cavalry followed closely behind in a shape, but no one had a horse head higher than Huo Xiaohu.
The cavalry loaded bullets on the horse rifle, controlled the reins with the left hand, leaned on the right shoulder with the gun in his right hand, instigated the war horse to move forward slowly, and looked at the bandits in front of him rushing towards him with a hint of coldness.
Since you are in a hurry to die, then grandpas will give you a ride.
The distance between the two sides is approaching quickly
Soon, the distance was 1,200 yards, and you could see the bandits pulling out their savages, hovering over their heads, and rushing towards them with strange screams. Some bandits showed off their work while the horses were running wildly.
His feet stood on the saddle, as if he was walking in the wind, and he was so excited that he screamed and screamed as the squadrons of cavalry attacked.
Some lie on one side of the horse, and then turn to the other side, as flexible as a monkey.
For these cowboys on the wilderness, everything is on the horse's back.
The distance between the two sides quickly shortened to 800 yards, and was still rapidly shortening at a speed of 100 yards every 6 seconds. The soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry Guards could clearly see the bandits' crazy performances, winking and sticking out their tongues, and shaking their heads with a sabre rushing towards them. The momentum was not ordinary, and it was so rampant that it was overwhelming.
Under Huo Xiaohu's suppression, the Leopard Cavalry guard continued to move forward slowly. At this time, he started to accelerate with a small step, allowing the war horses to run as smoothly as possible. Huo Xiaohu shouted first; "Leopard Cavalry guard, thousands of victory!"
"Leopard Cavalry Guard, Wan Sheng!" The cavalry shouted in unison, and a burning fighting spirit in their hearts was ignited.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was close to 600 yards, and the leopard cavalry guards were still arranged in neat formations. Then they saw Huo Xiaohu's sword lifted up high, and all the cavalry clamped the horseback and stood up together, lifting the horse-drawn less than one meter long straight forward, pointing the black muzzle at the thugs all the way.
"Everyone, shoot..." Huo Xiaohu's bright sword suddenly pointed forward from the sky.
"Baobabababababa..."
The sound of gunfire sounded like beans, and roared over 600 yards to sweep towards the bandits' team, exploded countless blood-colored flowers, and the people were on their backs and the middle ones died immediately.
The bandits and horses that rushed all the way were instantly opened a gap, as if they were bitten by a Tianlang. The rolling and falling war horses and the bandits splashed a large cloud of smoke and dust, and were trampled by the horse's hooves that arrived immediately behind, and immediately became minced meat.
The cavalry on both sides rushed head-on, and the speed increased and the distance was so close. Even if you wanted to turn back, it would be impossible. The bandits and horse team could only rush forward with a tough bullet.
The sword in Huo Xiaohu's hand rushed into the sky again, and the cavalry on the horse skillfully pulled the bolt to remove the shell, loaded the bullet, and then raised the rifle forward aiming...
Xueliang's long sword pointed forward again, and the dense sound of gunfire sounded like beans, beating the bandits and horses 500 yards away to howl. The horse neighed and shouted in chaos, leaving behind a large number of corpses again.
The soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry Guard fired four rounds of gunfire at the oncoming horse bandits at the speed of every 6 to 7 seconds, causing them to corpses all over the country and suffer heavy losses.
When the distance was close to 250 yards, there were less than 200 bandits coming towards him. The originally extremely rampant expression had long disappeared, and replaced it with a look of fear of seeing a ghost.
Faced with the ruthless baptism of gunfire, the courage of the bandits leaked without a trace like a pierced balloon.
These ignorant cowboys have long lagged behind the times. They do not know that the existence of new carriage rifles is a powerful tool in cavalry battles, and they do not know how the famous bandit leader "wild wolf" Bilken died at the hands of the Red River Valley cavalry.
Huo Xiaohu's sabre pointed fiercely forward again, and the dense gunshots of like beans rang out, and the bandits fell down forty or fifty horses again.
The remaining 140 outlaws rushed up madly with their shiny sabers. The distance between the two sides was close to 150 yards, and they were about to collide in just over ten seconds.
The saber in Huo Xiaohu's hand hovered in the air and pulled it back and suddenly retracted.
The unfolding formation of the leopard cavalry team suddenly contracted inward. All the cavalry inserted the rifle into the horse bag in the front right during the movement, and pulled out the sharp sword with his backhand and held it in front of his chest.
The war horses quickly changed their teams while running quickly, transforming from a one-character formation to a geese-sports. The sword in Huo Xiaohu's hand slashed forward and issued a command to charge; "Leopard Cavalry Camp, charge... kill..."
"Leopard Cavalry Camp, charge... kill..."
In the fearful eyes of the bandits, the cavalrymen of the Leopard Cavalry skillfully controlled the horses and kept a distance of less than an arm while running with all their might. The unfolding sabre was like a sword-cut jungle, and more like the huge sickle of the god of death.
The arrow headed by Huo Xiaohu hit the opponent's horse team hard, and the rapidly expanding geese-shaped queue behind reaped life like a knife wheel.
The bandit can block the first sword, but not the second sword, but not the second sword, but cannot beat the third sword, and there are countless sharp sabers behind it that make people desperate...
The cavalry on both sides collided, and the loud sound of weapons and the sound of blades passing through the flesh continued to flow, blood splashed like money, mixed with the screams of sudden stops, whistling on the battlefield where smoke and dust were everywhere.
The brief and fierce and cruel cavalry battle ended. Both sides turned their horses and looked back. There were still more than 240 soldiers from the Leopard Cavalry Guard, and less than 20 were lost.
The bandits led by Tom Walcott were only more than 30, and they were almost wounded, their clothes were stained with blood and their bodies became shaky.
The two are clearly distinguished.
The bandits did not have strict organization and fought each other. What they had to face was one sharp sword after another, and those who were almost unable to escape.
Those who leave their lives are nothing more than being far away, or hiding in the belly of a horse to avoid the fatal slash, dragging the saber, and luckily leaving a life.
Tom Walcott looked at all this with a pale face. He couldn't understand why this happened?
Now is not the time to reflect, and if you don’t run away, you will have no chance.
A whistle sounded
The remaining horse bandits began to flee like a blow-out nest, and desperately beat the horses and ran back. Everyone was already scared and scared and could no longer have the intention of resisting.
The evil bandits are stained with the soldiers' blood debts. How can they run away now?
Huo Xiaohu pointed forward with both hands, and his three companies rushed out like three arrows, chasing each other quickly.
During the marching, there were gunfire sounds, and the bandits who fled wildly were knocked down like turkeys, and did not run far to meet more than 30 cavalrymen.
They were soldiers from the Third Company of the Leopard Cavalry Guard, riding on horseback, lined up in a loose line, blocking the way, and silently raised the rifle in their hands.
There were obstacles in front and pursuers behind. Only a dozen bandits left saw that they had no way to escape, so they could only raise their hands and surrender obediently.
Surrender may leave a life and continue to resist without death.
The sunset
The colorful clouds hanging in the sky are as bright as blood, rendering the vast mountains and fields magnificent, and look more tragic.
The inventory behind the end of the bloody battle made Huo Xiaohu heartbroken.
The Leopard Cavalry Battalion lost 77 people in this series of battles, including 59 people killed, 18 seriously injured, and hundreds of people slightly injured.
With the hot climate of the York Peninsula, most of the seriously injured cannot survive the infection level, which is really a heavy loss!
In this battle, a total of 694 bandits gathered together to riots were killed, 16 were arrested, and no wounded.
Leopard Cavalry Front Camp has fought bloody battles in this battle
It takes at least two weeks to continue the search mission. The advantage is that the Battle of the York Peninsula shocked the world, providing great confidence for other troops to clear the bandits, and the action must be much smoother.
The white rancher who was originally ready to make trouble has now become stable.
The entire central and northern Queensland region ushered in a new stable situation after this bloody battle. Although small-scale battles continued, large-scale battles were no longer available.
After all, this is a vast and sparsely populated area, and it is not easy to organize a riot of hundreds of people.
