Chapter 182 They Escaped
Pan Jianan was surrounded by Zhao Xu's musketeers. Because most of the cavalry were Arab horses, their charge was quite fast. At least Pan Jianan believed that they could cause an impact on Zhao Fubo's men. But these guys were also a little unruly, because when the horn of Pan Jian's security army's impact sounded, these guys had already started running.
Not only did they not try to maintain their formation as much as they did when the Mongolian army charged, they even beat the horses to run away with a whip, as if they were afraid of falling behind and it would not be their turn to kill people.
Compared with Shi Zhidong, Pan Jian'an was a little worse in all aspects. He didn't feel anything about such an obvious abnormal situation. Of course, even if he had any feelings, Zhao Xu's men would not listen to him. The reason why they wanted to run was that they did not intend to fight against the "Huaxia Tiger Army".
Strictly speaking, the musketeers under Zhao Xu were not all cowardly. At least when Zhao Xu escaped from Bosaro, they broke the encirclement of Azam and Tulansha Sultan. When Zhao Xu escaped here, they built many castles along the way and supplemented enough supplies for Zhao Xu. However, what made them feel sad was that Zhao Xu gave them to the Mongols. This was not disappointing to them, but what made them most disappointing was that Zhao Xu was defeated all night and abandoned them.
People are all three-point-fire. Although they are treated like this by Zhao Xu, they have no main general. However, the captains of each Thousand-Person team are enough to determine the future of this army.
"We will stop fighting, we will leave. We will only surrender to the Chinese army, and we will not afford to go to their island to do hard labor. I have heard from the merchants that even if we do hard labor in them, it is much better than serving in the army for these unkind and unrighteous guys outside!"
Yes, the hard-working prisoners under Zhao Fubo's previous wars often became his army after working for a few years. Just like the Europeans in the "Huaxia Tiger Army", they were originally bought as slaves. They made a lot of efforts when building the Isleike. Later, Wei Zhen was ordered to organize the "Huaxia Tiger Army", and they became an army. This was stationed on the Isleike for several years, and in the past few years, the merchants who came and went slowly heard some news from them. That is, when fighting with the "Huaxia Army", the prisoners who surrendered directly would often have a better life than other governors and subordinates of the Sudan.
This is true. The slaves under Zhao Fubo's men had higher food standards than the civilians in the world at that time. Because they were hoping to do strong physical labor, they would not be able to eat enough. Although there was a lot of coarse grains in their food, there was only one advantage, that was, they could manage enough. Even many foods that were about to expire and could not be sold on the market were sent to slaves. Therefore, these slaves, or hard-working criminals, lived a good life, at least much better than the civilians who were cruelly exploited by nobles, governors, and sultans around the world.
So, when Pan Jianan just sounded the horn of the entire army's charge, they moved first. And after they set a certain distance from Pan Jianan's army, they immediately changed their direction.
"Ah, these bastards, they... come back... come back, you guys... get back..."
Facing the escaped muskets, Pan Jian'an felt furious, and his main force in the attack was shortened. 13. He turned around and wanted to ask the Mongolian cavalry to catch up quickly, but when he looked, he realized that the Mongolian horses equipped with Mongolian cavalry were too bad compared to Arab horses. At this moment, he had already been pulled down at least 150 meters.
No wonder the musketeers began to turn, because this was completely beyond the range of the Mongolian cavalry pulley bow. Although they knew in their hearts that the Mongols would not waste the arrows on them, they had to be more careful. At least for the time being, they had no plans to fight the Mongols.
At this time, Pan Jianan had to slow down his horse in embarrassment. Because he was also a good Arab horse, he unconsciously pulled his subordinates down for a long distance. Originally, Pan Jianan lined up these musketeers affiliated with Zhao Xu in the front to let the Mongolian cavalry behind suppress them and leave them with no way to escape. But now when he had just run a few hundred meters, they actually ran away to both sides.
"These bastards, they actually ran away. Do you think that Zhao Fubo will spare you?!"
Not only did he not expect this, but even Zhao Fubo did not expect that he had prepared a big meal for Pan Jian'an and his men. However, judging from this situation, there was probably not much need. Just as Pan Jian'an was gritting his teeth, the cavalry in Zhao Fubo's military camp began to take action.
"Okay, there will be over there first. I guess they will collapse after a volley, and then quickly load and attack in the opposite direction!"
After Zhao Fubo arranged for Kruger, who was in charge of the artillery team of the "Ghost Army", he himself planned to lead the guard to charge. His plan was to first use the intensive attack of rocket launchers to deal with the cavalry under Pan Jian'an, and then turn the guns to deal with the main force of the Mongolian cavalry here. As for the "Hell Messenger II-type field cannon", he attacked the command organization of the main force of the Mongolian cavalry. According to the general rules of the army at this time, the more flags the place is, the more senior officers it is. The "Hell Messenger II-type field cannon" will give full play to their advantage in the range of 3,000 meters to disrupt the command system of the main force of the Mongolian cavalry.
After everything was arranged, Zhao Fubo asked his subordinates in the guard to blew the charge. The soldiers under his command were ready to charge immediately, and all the "most war horses" took small steps together to speed up. The "Lavenders" still placed their rifles on their thighs, while the soldiers of the "Ghost Army" stood one sword on one side of their body, and the other hand was holding their revolver.
They began to run forward in the sound of the charge. Moreover, when they charged, they were somewhat similar to the methods used by the Mongols when riding and shooting, that is, they did not have a tight formation and did not intend to be arranged in a row. If you look closely at the chant, you will find that they were divided into two routes in the subsequent charge, and they would be lined up in two columns, and that would be a rifle, a fire-shot-style massacre.
What will the attacks of "Lavenders" and "Ghost Army" look like in cooperation? Let's talk about them next chapter!
