The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260 Unable to Control the Situation

"Just as I expected!" Han Sui said to his personal guards with a confident air, "Immediately assemble the troops and prepare for defense!" However, before Han Sui was ready, 20,000 cavalrymen had already charged over.

Listening to the thunder rumbling in the silent night, everyone who knew them knew it was the sound of a large cavalry charge, even though their camp was next to a mountain.

However, the main camp was located on flat ground! At this time, Han's organization's simple camp was absolutely no match for a large cavalry charge.

Han Sui hurriedly ordered the infantry to form dense ranks and defend against the simple fences. However, it was too late to give the order. The assembly and formation of a large group of infantry was not a simple matter.

Just as Han's infantry was changing formation, a full 20,000 steppe cavalry appeared, sweeping through Han's ranks like autumn leaves in the wind.

The soldiers at the front line were dumbfounded. Most of them hurriedly fired their weapons in the direction of the cavalry charge, and then began to reload. The officer in charge was completely unable to control the situation.

Most of the artillerymen had already fired their first rounds and were now frantically loading the next round. However, they were not infantrymen of the autonomous region, and although the reloading speed of their automatic weapons had improved somewhat, it was still not as fast as the Akiyu Type 2 rifle.

Bang! As the South Korean troops hastily unleashed their second volley of firearms, the cavalry were already within a hundred meters of the main camp. Fix bayonets! Fix bayonets!

Countless Han organization officers roared incessantly. They drew their swords not to slash at the enemy, but to cut down several of their own men, using bloodshed to force everyone back to the battlefield.

"Whoosh!" The cavalry began to accelerate! With a deafening roar, the entire force of 20,000 cavalrymen crashed through the defensive line of Han's firearms troops, many of them not even having the chance to fire a second weapon.

They did have fear, but the defeat during the day and the cavalry charge had terrified these soldiers. They could only relieve their fear by firing their weapons, but even so, their fear did not subside and even deepened.

They could have avoided this, or rather, they could have fought the cavalry. However, out of fear, most of the soldiers opened fire prematurely, not only failing to hit many enemies but also wasting precious reloading time and losing the power of the volley.

Only a few unfortunate fellows were killed by these second-rate firearms soldiers. It was rare for a cavalryman to survive a charge unless he could hold out until the end of the battle before someone came to his aid.

However, such people were far too few. The vast majority of wounded cavalrymen either fell off their horses and were trampled to death by those behind them, or died because they were injured and could not react in time.

"Kill!" The cavalry did not engage with the Han organization's infantry. Their only mission was to break through, break through again and again until they penetrated the entire Han organization's camp. Then, they split into two groups behind the Han organization's camp to surround it and cut off the routed Han organization.

Just as the Han soldiers still standing on the front line were celebrating their survival, the bugle call for the autonomous district's organized forces to attack sounded again from the west, and the infantry, who had been rushing to catch up, finally arrived.

Looking at the camp before him, Liao Hua had to admit that Pang De's actions were very effective. Although this was somewhat different from the pre-battle plan, war is unpredictable, and a general should adjust his tactics in a timely manner according to the battlefield situation.

"Attack!" Liao Hua launched the attack, spearheaded by two infantry regiments.

"Fire!" Because the operation was far from the main camp, the infantry only carried light general's organization cannons. Although they were light, they were still powerful. Moreover, at this point, the deterrent effect of the cannons outweighed their actual killing effect.

"Fire!" Two rounds of artillery fire followed, and then the line infantry began to advance. When they reached 150 meters, Liao Hua ordered a change in advance pattern, adopting a slow-advance firing tactic, with one platoon firing as one platoon advanced, and one platoon firing as one platoon advanced.

The large number of Korean soldiers were stunned. This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided massacre. The enemy had started the harvester mode even before they were out of their firing range, and the bullets they were firing did not even know where they were going.

Even if the autonomous district's organized team advanced to within 100 meters, Han's organization still couldn't inflict much damage on the autonomous district's infantry because their command had completely fallen apart.

Han Sui kept gathering troops in the rear and pushing them to the front, but gradually even Han Sui lost control of the situation because he did not have enough generals to maintain it.

If this were viewed from the sky, one could see rows of lights moving forward in the west, while in the east, there were twinkling stars, flashing here and there, indicating that the Han organization's firing was chaotic.

In the era of ammunition-loading weapons, such chaotic firing was of little use, let alone when fighting under the moonlight.

The Ma family organizations on both flanks also followed the example of the self-governing district's teams in advancing in a line formation. Although they didn't quite master it, it was still much more orderly than the chaotic firing of the Han organization.

A few more minutes passed, and Han Sui finally heard some good news: the cavalry that had been organized had finally managed to assemble a portion of their forces. Han Sui immediately dispatched these 6,000 cavalrymen, whom he had painstakingly gathered, to the front lines. He intended to use these 6,000 cavalrymen to launch a counterattack and buy time to regroup the infantry.

"Sir, do you hear the sound of cavalry?" "Nonsense, where? Our cavalry are still on the flanks and haven't moved yet!" A soldier from a self-governing area at the front line told his battalion commander that he heard the sound of cavalry charging, but the battalion commander didn't pay attention because he didn't hear it.

The thunderous roar quickly grew louder, drowning out the sounds of firearms. Finally, many soldiers in the area realized what was happening: cavalry! Cavalry! Han Sui had launched a cavalry counterattack! "Fix bayonets!"

"Go on the bayonet!"

The battalion and company commanders at the front immediately roared hysterically, "Fix bayonets! Fix bayonets! The enemy cavalry is charging!"

Although it was unclear why the 20,000 steppe cavalry hadn't broken up the Han organization's cavalry in the previous battle, now was not the time to dwell on that. The infantry at the front immediately fixed their bayonets, halted their advance, and formed a dense formation to defend against the cavalry charge.

"Kill!" Han Sui's cavalry was indeed an elite force. When the brother units gradually collapsed, they were still able to launch a counter-charge, which was admirable. However, it was only for a moment. Soon, the infantry of the autonomous region used their flintlock weapons to show these cavalrymen, who were still in the feudal era of cold weapons, what the modern gunpowder age was!
