C286 Blocking Cavalry Battalion

There was no doubt that Xiao Letian would not abandon his brothers and leave alone. However, the question in front of Xiao Letian was still an extremely difficult one to choose from.

Right now, the new army was split into two, with Luo Huo and Yepingtai beside him, leading more than a hundred people, while the remaining army was split into two: Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun.

At this time, the two French Cavalry Battalion s had already come over from the north. According to their intelligence, they would arrive in at most fifteen minutes.

Although Xiao Letian didn't know whether this wave of enemies should go in one or two camps at once, but even if there was a Cavalry Battalion, they still wouldn't be able to stand it.

If Xiao Letian chose to stay, then the most likely scenario would be for the 300 new army and himself to be drowned by the 1000 riders. With the current anger of the French people, it was very possible for them to kill Xiao Letian on the battlefield to vent their anger.

If Xiao Letian chose to bring Luo Huo, Yepingtai and the others and head north, although he would lose Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun, at least half of his army's strength would be preserved.

On one side, they were completely annihilated, and on the other side, they had to flee. This choice was not a problem in the eyes of Prussian, but it stopped the Prime Minister from coming from the East.

Jonas warned carefully from the side, "Prime Minister, for the sake of victory in the future, a temporary sacrifice is worth it.

Xiao Letian rubbed his temples in pain, "I know, I know what you're saying. Let me think, let me think …"

Xiao Letian was cursing in his heart, how could you Europeans know my current difficulties? No matter what, you have all been militarized for a hundred years, and you have accumulated a lot of talents. But me? How difficult it was to pull out a corps of officers in that old empire that could receive Western-style education.

Everyone here is my darling, if placed in the army, they would be my future Company Commander or Battalion Commander. If placed in the army, everyone here would have the quality of a qualified county governor.

This is my talent pool. How much blood have I lost and how much effort have I expended to save the seed for this future career? How could I possibly throw it away?

At this time, no one dared to speak, no one dared to disturb his train of thoughts. Any decision on Xiao Letian's part now involved the lives of countless people.

"If I could, I really want to think about it forever and not make any decisions …" "But that's not realistic. Since I've brought you all down this road of no return, I must make a choice for you all …"

After saying that, Xiao Letian clenched his teeth, stared at the small northern road, and the dense forest, and shouted, "There's not much time left, all the new troops are to immediately spread out on the hills, and build temporary defensive positions. We need to block these French cavalry s for half an hour here …"

"Yes, you didn't mishear me, and I'm not crazy either. I wanted to use more than a hundred of the new army to block the French's iron hooves, and I wanted to successfully do so for half an hour …" All I can do is give Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun and the rest 45 minutes of time … "

"If, 45 minutes later, they haven't turned up... That would be their life! "

The French soldiers was stunned, and the leader of the group shouted loudly, "No, this is fate! You cannot complete this mission, one French Cavalry Battalion has 400 troops, and this is not something you can withstand, even if there is only one battalion …"

Xiao Letian was very clear in his heart, that what these Prussian s said was not wrong. For the infantry to fight against the Cavalry s who were charging at high speeds without the support of heavy machine guns and cannons, it was practically impossible.

However, Xiao Letian had no other choice. Even if it was only a one percent chance of success, he would fight for it.

"Is there no hope? Do you think that's impossible? Yes, I also think that the success rate is only 1%, but on the road of national recovery, let alone 1%, even if it's 1%, it's still worth fighting for, because if there's only one ending, then it's death … "

"My good brothers, don't disappoint me, I will watch from here, whoever steps back, I will step forward, if you can't take it, I, Xiao Letian, will support you with my chest …"

No need to use heavy hammers to sound off the drums, how could these young fellows bear Xiao Letian's words? One by one, they became hot-blooded and shouted loudly: "Sir, you want to go to the battlefield, unless all of us die here … "Fight, fight to the death!"

Xiao Letian's determination was the confidence of all the new troops, causing the entire crowd to become excited. At this time, the King Yi came over and said, "I will be in charge of this battle, I have some experience in fighting against the cavalry, but I have not forgotten the little thing our ancestor left behind …"

Xiao Letian's eyes lit up as he grabbed Shi Dakai's hand and said excitedly: "That's great, elder brother will be on the battlefield soon, I am relieved. Come, come, I still have some thoughts and plans to discuss it with you …."

Time was of the essence, as Xiao Letian and the King Yi whispered to each other, more than 120 new troops had already started entering the area, the Engineer's spade s flew up and down, beginning to build simple defenses.

After the war entered the era of reloading, it became more and more important to carry out civil operations in the field. Just a change in the way the bullets were installed resulted in a huge revolution in the shape and consciousness of the whole war.

In the musket era, people could only fill guns with ammunition while standing in formation. They would act like puppets and repeat the movements mechanically, at that time, every soldier in the war was more like a screw.

After that, in the era of wielding guns, the soldiers were finally freed from the long line of soldiers. People could hide in bunkers and hide behind obstacles to load ammunition, and with the addition of the widespread use of fixed ammunition with bullet shells, the frequency and accuracy of soldiers' shooting would increase exponentially, and the safety rate was also increasing.

By the time the First World War began, trench warfare had become the mainstream of the battlefield, and civil engineering had become a compulsory course for the armies of the various countries.

However, the Europeans have yet to realize this, this was the magical equipment that Xiao Letian, the teleporter, was relying on. It was these completely new ideas of war that had transcended the era that had allowed him to achieve victory all the way to today.

The Prussian soldiers s were all dumbstruck. Although their military training had classes on temporary jobs, they were definitely not as adept as these Chinese. He watched as holes were dug out one by one. The mud was slapped neatly to form small shooting arenas. From afar, they looked like standard parts of a factory.

Not only that, there were a lot of new troops bustling around in the forest and hills ahead of the firing area. Even the Prussian soldiers in the distance couldn't see them clearly.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and when a low vibration suddenly came from the west, everyone realized that the Cavalry Battalion was getting closer and closer.

"Retreat, everyone retreat …" "Back to the bunker, ready to fire..." Orders from officers of all ranks rose and fell, like the waves of the ocean, from the center of the formation to the two wings.

After the clanging sounds of the bolts and hammers, killing intent instantly filled the entire battlefield. At this moment, even the Prussian army who had experienced a lot in battle also broke out into a cold sweat.

This was the Fa Rui border, so the Prussian army could not get involved no matter what. If the fire went off, then the upcoming war would not be between the Poo War, but the Franco-Prussian War.

"Retreat, all Prussian army retreat, stay far away from the battlefield, avoid encountering the French army …" The silent army began to retreat. Although everyone was unwilling, no one could disobey the military order.

Xiao Letian's hands were covered with sweat, the telescope that he was tightly gripping was drenched in sweat. Faint smoke was already rising from the dense forest in the distance, which meant that the French vanguard unit was getting closer and closer.

This was the place where the trees and hills intersected. As long as the cavalry could rush out from the road, they would be able to move quickly in the hills, and the cavalry formed a very terrifying formation.

If the new army wanted to defeat these horsemen, they would have to disrupt their troops' formation before they could form a formation in the dense forest.

"They're here, they're here. No one is allowed to attack as they please. They are all listening to orders to lure the enemy in …"

At the command of countless military officers, several war horses charged out of the jungle, followed by a series of shouts in French.

Following closely behind vanguard cavalry was the smoke of countless of cavalry, their large horses galloping up the hill one after another, the French army saw the burning military camp at a glance.

"Oh God, look... Our military camp was attacked by these barbarians, and they captured the border post. "

"What?" These Chinese people actually dare to stop us? Are they lying on the ground waiting to die? "Hahaha, they actually dug their own graves and are waiting for us to kill them …"

"Look, there's a group of people at the checkpoint!" Was it the fleeing Eastern high-ranking official? Who cares if it is or not, warriors of the France, prepare for battle, use our horses' hooves and trample these bandits to death … "

At that moment, the ground was filled with thunder, countless horses trampled on the trembling stones on the ground, and the loud and clear sound of their hooves caused them to jump, the big and powerful Arabian horses were able to move fast in just a few seconds.

"Speed up, speed up, the lads of France, hurry up … "With such a short distance, they can only fire two rounds at most. They won't be able to threaten us at all …"

"Aiyo, what the f * ck …" Just when the leading officer was about to boost the morale of his men, the horse suddenly lost its footing and tumbled to the ground, throwing him away.

Amidst the shrill sounds of the battle horses were the howls of the leading officer and the sound of his bones breaking. With such speed, the horse simply could not stop. Before he could stand up, the horse's hooves had already stepped on his head.

With a pfft, it was as if a rotten watermelon was stepped on, causing the entire ground to be covered with red and white legume.

"There's something strange on the ground. Everyone, be careful …" Before the other rider could finish his words, his war horse lost control of itself. The front half of the war horse fell to its knees, fiercely throwing him into the air.

Right at this moment, the New Army's position suddenly let out a burst of loud shouting, "Fire!" "Everyone open fire …" After a string of gunshots, the howls of countless war horses and the wails of dying soldiers could be heard.
