Shazhou City.
The front lines of the trenches.
An officer in a military uniform, holding binoculars, stood with one foot on a trench, gazing solemnly at the dark mass of cavalry in the distance.
Among these cavalrymen were familiar Saman cavalry!
However, there were some people they had never seen before!
"Commander Zhao, Commander Zhao..."
An aide rushed over and said, "We've investigated and confirmed that these cavalrymen with their shoulders exposed and left-fastening robes are cavalry from the snowy plateau!"
"The snowy plateau?"
Zhao Qiping, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 12th Infantry Division, paused for a moment and said with some doubt, "How could these cavalrymen from the snowy plateau collude with the Saman cavalry?"
Zhao Qiping had not figured out this question.
Meanwhile, outside the front line of the Shazhou trenches, 10,000 Saman cavalry and more than 20,000 Snowfield cavalry, totaling more than 30,000 people, were rushing toward this side across the open grasslands at great speed!
Rumble!
Rumble!
The entire earth trembled slightly!
Seeing this, Regiment Commander Zhao Qiping's expression turned solemn, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Machine gunners, get ready immediately!"
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
With a series of loud shouts, the soldiers of the 12th Infantry Division in the trenches immediately began to fight.
Although the sudden appearance of these Saman cavalry and snow-covered cavalry did indeed surprise Zhao Qiping and others in Shazhou.
However, the 12th Infantry Division quickly devised a countermeasure.
As the Saman cavalry and the snowfield cavalry drew ever closer to the trenches, Regiment Commander Zhao Qiping shouted in a deep voice, "Attack!"
Immediately, machine gunners pulled the triggers.
Behind them, the main gunner also lowered the breech.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, the entire perimeter of the Shazhou trenches was filled with the roar of artillery and the shrieking of machine guns!
Shells exploded among the enemy cavalry, sending them flying and their horses tumbling.
Bullets pierced the air, like an invisible scythe of death, slashing through the enemy cavalry.
In a short time, enemy cavalrymen fell one after another into pools of blood.
The entire outskirts of Shazhou were a scene of carnage and corpses!
On a hill further out, several middle-aged generals sat astride their horses, watching the scene with furrowed brows.
"Um?"
A middle-aged general, wearing a shirt with the left lapel exposed, frowned and asked, "What kind of weapons are these large troops using? How are they so powerful?"
"General Chi Dai Zhu Dan,"
General Chabahai of Saman said, "Before I went to the snowy plateau, I heard from the grassland people of Saman City that the Da Gan Army is now equipped with cannons and muskets, which are indeed quite powerful."
"but,"
Chabahai changed the subject and continued, "General Chidai Zhudan, you don't need to worry. This time we've brought over 30,000 cavalry, and we're going to launch a surprise attack on Da Gan's army."
"Moreover, I heard recently that the main force of the Da Gan Army has all entered the vicinity of Yizhou City. There are not many Da Gan Army troops in the entire Shazhou, or even the Guazhou front line."
"As long as we can capture Shazhou and Guazhou in one fell swoop and cut off the supply lines of the Da Gan Army, the Da Gan Army in the Saman Khanate will be in dire straits, running out of ammunition and food, and will be completely defeated! At that time, we will also be able to send troops to Hexi and Longyou. According to the agreement, these places will all belong to the Tibetan Plateau, while our Saman Khanate will only want our former territories such as Guazhou, Shazhou, and Suzhou!"
"General Chidai Zhudan, for the sake of victory and territory, we must overcome the initial difficulties!"
Hearing Chabahai's words, Chidaizhudan frowned slightly and said, "This difficulty can still be overcome!"
Immediately, Chi Daizhudan spoke up: "Men, keep killing!"
Under Chidaizhudan's orders, the cavalry of the snowy plateau continued their offensive across the wilderness towards the Shazhou front.
The mighty army once again rushed towards the trenches of Shazhou.
However, they were met with an endless hail of bullets.
Da da da!
Da da da!
A dense hail of machine gun bullets whizzed through the air, forming an impenetrable wall of bullets that rained down on this side.
In an instant, clusters of brilliant blood blossoms bloomed in the air. One after another, the cavalrymen of the snowy plateau were shot and fell to the ground dead.
In a short time, the ground was covered with countless corpses.
Thick, sticky blood flowed out and seeped into the soil.
Time passed slowly!
Even with tens of thousands of cavalry, they still couldn't break through the trench defenses of Shazhou. They even paid a heavy price!
The current situation on the battlefield can no longer even be described as a war!
It was a one-sided massacre!
Upon seeing this, General Chidaizhudan was completely panicked.
Making them pay a price and overcome some difficulties on the Tibetan Plateau is acceptable. After all, for the sake of vast territory, they can endure it!
However, such a situation, with heavy casualties in a short period of time, was a price that Chidai Zhudan could not tolerate!
In less than a quarter of an hour, before they could even cross the trenches of the main force, they had already lost nearly half of their troops!
The situation is quite alarming no matter how you look at it!
"Chabahai!"
Chi Daizhudan was furious and roared, "Didn't you say that the Da Gan Army's weapons and equipment weren't powerful? How did it become like this?"
"General Chi Dai Zhu Dan,"
Chabahai said nervously, "Hold on a little longer, we'll break through the Da Gan army's defenses soon!"
