He escaped? The Chinese actually ran away?
Fu Lankeer and De Lekelvzi were both completely dumbstruck. Before the battle, they had also thought of countless possibilities, but none of them had the ability to escape!
Although the French were still arrogant and looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, after so many battles, at least their combat strength had been affirmed by all of Europe.
You can attack the Chinese people who are backward and poor, and you can also attack the Qing Dynasty who is weak and weak, but these characteristics do not cover the Chinese people.
War after war had proven the fighting strength of the Chinese! How could a race who dared to ride within the Maritime War in Eastern Frisia be a coward?
In the Franco-Prussian War, even the head of the Chinese army was able to be the vanguard and rush to the front lines. How could such an army escape?
However, everything that had happened today completely overturned everyone's judgement. In the face of the charge of three thousand French soldiers, these two thousand odd cavalrymen had actually turned their heads and left without the slightest hesitation.
These war horses had already recovered their stamina at night. At this moment, under the urging of the Knights, they were jogging happily!
No matter what, their four legs were faster than their two legs. These mounted gangsters were really shameless enough to maintain a distance of around 800 meters away from the French army. They would run for a while to rest, then run for rest again.
Just two kilometers away, these French soldiers were already tired to the point where they couldn't even breathe. They had never received any real training as recruits, nor had they ever trained in a five-kilometer-long cross-country.
It wasn't because the books said that their physical qualities were bad, but because their bodies were not used to this kind of intense exercise. This was completely different from the regular army.
"God... Up... Oh God... Why don't they fight! "
"Humiliation … You are the shame of the military... "Why don't you fight …"
The soldiers could not hold it in any longer. They raised their rifles and pulled the triggers to shoot into the distance, but they were already over 800 meters away. Even Prussian musketeers would find it hard to maintain accuracy at this distance, not to mention those old rifles.
The bullets flew all over the place, but Chinese soldier did not even bat an eyelid. She did not even bother to take off the rifles hanging on the horses' sides, as she quietly watched the enemies act arrogantly.
All of these French soldiers had been shooting chaotically at Ji Hao for over a quarter of an hour, but none of them had managed to gain anything. They were all so tired that they were puffed out, gasping for air while swallowing their saliva.
However, at this time, when the three thousand French soldiers were sweating profusely from exhaustion, the first cavalry unit of the right flank of the Chinese army suddenly launched a charge without any forewarning.
Over three hundred war horses galloped like thunder in the shape of Rangers, charging rapidly towards the chaotic French army.
"This is bad!" Ready to fire... The enemy is about to attack... Quick, quick... "Firepower support..."
The right flank of the Chinese army was the left flank of the enemy. The exhausted National Guard soldiers did not dare to underestimate the powerful impact of the cavalry.
They wanted to use their firepower density to offset the powerful impact of the cavalry.
800 meters, 700 meters, 600 meters … The cavalrymen were getting closer and closer, the panicked French army could even clearly see the unique style of the Chinese helmets.
This was not a pointed Prussian war helmet, but a very strange round steel helmet, black as a pot on the head.
Beneath the black helmet were stern eastern faces with no facial expressions or emotions. They were a group of veterans who had completely adapted to war, turning into a bloodthirsty machine without any emotions.
In the eyes of these veterans, those who wailed like ghosts about fighting were weak chickens, they were nothing more than mediocre!
Of course, these veterans would automatically filter out their excitement from entering the battle. At that time, their emotions would flow much more freely than the people in front of them.
The commander of the first battalion was Chu Zhao. He had taken out his sword and steadily suppressed the charge, as if the battle was a joke in his eyes.
He had already used his binoculars to make a yardstick. Along the way, all sorts of inconspicuous things marked the distance. It might have been a tree, it might have been a bush, or it might have been the corpse of a dead dog.
Chu Zhao could estimate the distance between them and the enemy without using any tools.
Six hundred meters, five hundred meters … 550 meters, 400 meters …
At this time, the National Guard s of the three battalions had become extremely nervous, and all the officers were shouting at the top of their lungs, "Everyone stay calm! Do not fire without a command... I will shoot whoever dares to fire! "
"Do not fire... Everyone was waiting for his orders! "We'll fire after entering the four hundred meter range …"
400 meters was a distance that could be covered in the blink of an eye. Right when the mark of the shrub appeared before Chu Zhao's eyes, he raised his command blade and sneered as he slashed downwards.
"Gone …" "Brothers, let's withdraw …"
A battalion of cavalrymen, right in front of all the French military formations, made a U-turn with one hundred and eighty degrees clockwise, and the cavalrymen just ran away from the effective range!
"I... I... "I …" The three battalions of the French Army were all dumbfounded. They could not speak even with their mouths open, and did not even have the strength to curse.
The smoke and dust brought up by the charge of the cavalry were slowly blown into the formation by the wind. A series of coughing sounds could be heard, and the morale that had just been raised was immediately repressed.
If they still didn't understand the Chinese tactics, then these people's IQ would become a huge problem!
"These despicable invaders, they just want us to die from exhaustion alive. They treat us like rats and play with us … Shameless, despicable, shameless! "
The entire National Guard was cursing, her angry roars shaking the heavens.
Xiao Letian laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes... And so … "It's already ten in the morning. Continue cursing, continue exhausting your energy …"
"What good food did the people of Paris give you in the morning? I'd like to see how long you guys can last... We'll just play slowly like this today! "
With a wave of the Fiihrer's arm, the Third Battalion of the Chinese Left flank also launched a charge. Their target was the enemy's right wing, but the same harassment tactics were still effective.
They knew very well that if they did not react properly, the enemy cavalry would rush in in the next second.
This time, it was the four French infantry battalions that began to change formation. They used the frontline charge of the cavalry, and this time they were smart enough to shoot from five hundred meters away.
Under the barrage of bullets, the Chinese cavalry soldiers tried their best to push their bodies against the horses to minimize the impact. However, more than a dozen war horses fell to the ground after being hit by the bullets.
Fortunately, the soldiers were only lightly scratched. They jumped onto other people's horses under the pulling of their comrades and left.
After two feints and two assaults, the first group of National Guard was already in a complete mess.
