On the battlefield, the most tragic moment has arrived.
Ever since the Liang army's cannons misfired, the Yarkand people had firmly believed that victory belonged to them.
Like locusts, they surrounded the Liang army and launched attacks from all directions with reckless abandon.
"Don't retreat, even if you are hurt, you have to stand still."
Liang Yue also lost his composure and kept going back and forth, shouting at the top of his lungs to give orders.
Fortunately, Jiang Chaoyun and Zhao Silie guarded the two wings and always fought on the front line, which somewhat helped him share the pressure.
As for the cloudy mountains and sea…
When he led the cavalry to rush out for the third time, he was hit by two arrows and was already unconscious.
Liang Yue couldn't care less about his sadness.
If we can't survive today's battle, everyone will die, and injuries will be nothing.
Liang Jun was extremely exhausted.
After three consecutive days of fighting and constant harassment at night, no one had a good rest.
If they hadn't had enough food and drink, they wouldn't even have the strength to stand.
The most terrible thing is that weapons are in short supply.
The artillery became a display because it had no shells.
The muskets were also damaged a lot during the continuous fighting, resulting in a significant decrease in firepower.
As for the spears, swords, armor, etc., none of them were intact.
The knives in the hands of many soldiers were curled. After breaking their spears, they randomly tied them to a wooden stick and used them again.
The ground shook, the horses' hooves flew, and the Yarkand cavalry came up again.
Liang Jun's muskets fired two rounds in a hurry. Although they caused a lot of casualties, they were unable to keep all the Yarkand cavalry at a distance of a hundred meters.
The cavalry collided with the infantry phalanx with a fierce momentum, knocking off all the Liang soldiers in the first row on the spot. In an instant, many people have had their bones broken or their tendons broken. Those who were trampled to death on the spot completely dyed the earth red.
Fortunately, the thick shield effectively blocked the cavalry's speed, giving those behind them time to react.
The spearman seizes the time to gather his spears and uses his length advantage to knock the Yarkand man off his horse.
The two wings ignored the fighting here and just tried their best to consume Yarkant's subsequent infantry.
But the Yarkand people also understood that they had finally crashed into the Liang Army's formation. If they did not take this opportunity to completely disrupt the Liang Army's formation, they would still have to pay a huge price for the next attack.
So they stopped holding back and put all their strength into it.
Even Abdullah's sons went into battle.
As with any regime, there are bound to be power struggles within the royal family. All the princes are eyeing the highest position and trying their best to achieve it.
When you can't plot against each other, showing your abilities in front of Lao Wang is the best way.
The presence of the princes at the front greatly inspired the Yarkand people and drove them completely crazy.
Even if the Liang army tried all their means, they could not stop the Yarkand people's offensive.
In all directions and every corner, it became a killing ground for the Liang army and the Yarkand people.
When the battle reaches this point, any strategies and tactics are of no use, and only a competition of wills remains.
When it comes to the soldiers, there is no need to follow any orders or instructions. Fighting according to instinct is the only way to save yourself and kill the enemy.
At the same time, this also means that the Liang army is not far from its final collapse.
Liang Yuedu drew out his sword and kept helping the soldiers to relieve the enemy.
He knew he couldn't hold on for long, so he couldn't help but look up and look to the west.
The National Defense Forces said they would come.
Is it really just a deception?
But it's okay not to look at it. At this glance, he, a tough guy, couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
On the stormy battlefield, nothing is as useful as this cry.
After hearing this, all Liang Jun looked towards the west, and then their faces were full of surprise.
All I could see was the horizon in the far distance. Under the daylight, the rolling red flag was like a burning sea, slowly pushing towards me.
In the valley between the two mountain ranges in the north and south, a mighty black line blocked all the gaps.
Just when Liang's army was about to be defeated, the fifth division finally arrived.
In a place like this, no roundabouts or ambushes would work.
Then let’s fight head-on!
Maxhua made a decision quickly.
He lined up the four infantry regiments of the Guard Regiment, the 17th Regiment, the 18th Regiment, and the 19th Regiment to form a complete straight line, rolling towards the battlefield.
Behind the four infantry regiments, the artillery regiment, engineering regiment, logistics troops, etc. were all armed to form the second echelon.
The sudden appearance of the fifth division made Abdullah feel a chill.
At this moment, he finally understood why Liang Jun didn't leave.
It turns out that this is the battlefield chosen by the enemy.
But when the battle got to this point, it was impossible for him to make any adjustments again.
The Yarkand people have been completely engaged in a melee with the Liang army. Just withdrawing the army cannot be done in one or two hours.
The Wehrmacht would not give him this time.
Another one, this is Ye Erqiang’s lair!
Where can they retreat to?
"Unfold the royal flag and follow me to kill the enemy!"
In critical moments, Abdullah lived up to his reputation as a hero.
He did not give his hope to others, but instead fired up all his personal guards, crossed the battlefield in the middle, and rushed towards the fifth division.
As long as it is delayed for a certain period of time and allows other armies to destroy the Liang army, there is still hope of turning defeat into victory.
There are two reasons that support Abdullah.
Even though the Fifth Division has arrived, the Yarkand people still have the advantage in terms of total strength.
Second, the Fifth Division, as a pure infantry army, did not set up defenses but attacked forward.
Undefended infantry may be crushed by sharp cavalry.
Although he had seen that all members of the fifth division were equipped with firearms, Liang Jun also had many muskets.
The Liang army needed to use carriages, camels and other things to build defenses in order to withstand Yarkand's attack. The Fifth Division should not be an opponent of the cavalry on the open plains.
Abdullah did not know that muskets were different from muskets, and artillery was also different from artillery.
Especially the artillery of the Fifth Division completely shattered his illusions.
Heavy artillery and rocket launchers began to clear the ground.
The sky and the earth all turned fiery red, leaving no fragile creature with the ability to resist or escape.
Under the overwhelming artillery fire, large areas of the Yarkand people who charged bravely disappeared into the dust and smoke.
Even Abdullah was knocked off his horse by the shock wave of the explosion and fell unconscious.
His personal guards rushed to save him, but a rocket launcher hit the crowd, and more than thirty personal guards were wiped out on the spot.
The advancing Wehrmacht soldiers walked slowly and unhurriedly, and opened fire as soon as they entered the shooting range.
Their muskets were much sharper than those of the Liang army, and there were so many of them that there was no place on the battlefield that could not be hit by muskets.
The bravery of flesh and blood could not stop the steel storm, and the fifth division's advance was as smooth as a parade.
Even Abdullah's tragic death under the trampling of horse hooves became an insignificant episode.
The west wind is strong, the victory is decided!
