The Rise of the Empire

General French's judgment was correct. At this time, the battle had entered a critical moment. Both the British army and the Boers continued to lose blood. Although the Boers were well equipped, their number of personnel was limited, and their reinforcements were attacked by Colonel George. The suppression of the artillery is already the limit of being able to contain the opponent's attack, and the so-called counterattack is more like a flashback. \u003c/p\u003eAlthough the British paid a greater price, a considerable part of the British army has entered the opponent's trenches and has begun to develop in depth. It will obviously take time for the Boers to completely remove these nails. The British have the upper hand, and it is naturally impossible to give up halfway when they have already driven into the wedge! \u003c/p\u003eAs the order of General French was conveyed, the British cavalry companies were ready to attack one by one. They put down the sabers and spears belonging to the cavalry, and picked up the short carbines with bayonets. Throw away all decorations and items that are not suitable for charging, and rush to the front line without hesitation to support their comrades! \u003c/p\u003eWhen the second wave of British troops launched a charge, the situation on the entire battlefield changed! The tremors coming from the ground made General French feel a little bit of fear! He immediately bent down to feel the vibration of the ground, someone is coming! Lots of cavalry! They are in the southeast! \u003c/p\u003e"Their target is George's artillery! The Boer cavalry is coming up!" The cavalry duel that he was looking forward to so much has now become a reminder for the British army! At the most critical moment, when the British invested a large number of reserves to prepare to penetrate the opponent's defense in one go! The Boer cavalry finally appeared, and they appeared just right, in the vacuum period of the limit of the British troops! \u003c/p\u003eIf it is earlier, the British can use the sufficient reserve team to block the opponent. If it is later, it does not matter. But now, the British are being attacked on both sides! \u003c/p\u003e"Veron, you bring 800 cavalry to support General George! Seize the opportunity, if you fail, then I will never be able to spare enough troops to rescue you!" French said seriously . \u003c/p\u003e"The British cavalry moved!" Caliput finally launched an attack, and he put all his troops into the attack on George's artillery. The fundamental reason why he chose George instead of French was that , the latter is not something he can eat at all, even though the opponent has invested 1,500 people in charge of the attack, the remaining troops are still dominant! In the absence of heavy weapons, cavalry charging infantry with defenses and rapid-fire weapons is almost courting death! Although George has a lot of artillery, he doesn't have enough infantry cover. This is an opportunity, a chance to turn things around in one fell swoop! \u003c/p\u003eNearly 1,500 cavalry were involved in this wave of decisive charge. This was the first time since the Boers started the war that fundamentalist cavalry battles took place. The gallop of thousands of horses shook the ground like an angry ancient giant beast To the British artillery! The smoke from the horseshoes covered half of the battlefield, and the Boer cavalry formed relatively loose shock waves. \u003c/p\u003eIf the opponent is also cavalry, this wave of Boers is likely to be crushed by the opponent's rigorous and dense cavalry formation. Modern cavalry uses discipline and formation to gain combat effectiveness, but now, in order to reduce the British Due to the damage of machine guns, the Boers could only choose this formation to fight, and in order to defend against the British stabbing in from the side, another 500 cavalry were responsible for blocking possible reinforcements from the British! \u003c/p\u003e"Draw your sword! Speed ​​up!" Caliput personally led the team, and the huge Boer cavalry group passed through the smoke and bullet rain and quickly approached the British position. It's a pity that there is too little time left for them. Some of the artillery have no firing range at all, and some of the artillery have just been re-arranged.

After firing a few shells, what ushered in was the saber of the Boers! \u003c/p\u003eThe few remaining infantry tried their best to resist the charge of the cavalry, but without formation, how much combat power could the scattered rifle fire have against the galloping cavalry? Leaving aside the gunners, logistics personnel, and personnel involved in front-line attacks, the infantry that Colonel George can draw out is less than 500! And it's scattered all over the place! And the number of Boers attacking is three times that of the defending side! \u003c/p\u003eFrom time to time, someone was hit by an oncoming bullet, fell off the horse twice, and was trampled to pieces by the dense horseshoes. No one mourned for their classmates. They clenched their sabers and stared at them enemy. The distance of the last few hundred meters was crossed almost in the blink of an eye, and the last line of defense of Colonel George was almost as fragile as paper under the charge of the Boer cavalry! \u003c/p\u003eThe waving saber wantonly massacred the panicked infantry, and the few British troops were quickly divided and surrounded. The blood and flying heads explained that this was a massacre rather than a battle. Bullets sowed death, indulging in the thrill of revenge. \u003c/p\u003eThe large group of cavalry quickly dispersed into squads to clear the remaining enemies. As long as there is another half an hour, Caliput believes that he can conquer George's position and completely solve it, and then Adjust the formation to prepare to meet French cavalry, but unfortunately, the well-trained British cavalry did not give Caliput this time! The 800 British cavalry led by Lieutenant Colonel Vinlen easily tore through the defense on the side of Caliput! \u003c/p\u003eIf you simply talk about charging on horseback and fighting against each other in recent photos, the combat effectiveness of the British cavalry is much higher than that of the Boers. Although the Boers have semi-automatic rifles, in order to support Pershing, Caliput handed over most of the semi-automatic rifles I gave it to him, and now, once there is no firearm in hand, if you simply fight with a saber, the Boers who are inferior in training and discipline will naturally be unable to resist the opponent's attack! What's even more tragic is that the number of opponents is 300 more than the Boers! \u003c/p\u003eA wolf is fighting with its prey, and at this time, another wolf suddenly rushes out from the nearby grass to attack, so what will happen? Caliput's main force faced this situation, but fortunately, he had already considered it. The cavalry on the periphery dismounted one after another, looked for damaged artillery and vehicles as cover on the spot, and blocked the enemy with rifles and pistols. Under the protection of various obstacles, and under the absolute superiority of troops, Velen's attack was fierce, but Caliput barely blocked the opponent. \u003c/p\u003e And at this time, the mutation happened again! In the northwest direction of the battlefield, a large cloud of dust rose into the sky! Another cavalry has entered! The commanders of both sides held their breaths. The fighting on the battlefield has nothing to do with them. This cavalry will become the decisive factor. French and Caliput raised their binoculars and looked into the distance. After the banner of the 1st Boer Cavalry Regiment gradually became clear, the overall situation was settled! \u003c/p\u003eThe third one is here. Subscriptions were horrible yesterday. …. Dropped almost 1000. If you don’t like to watch this episode, just skip it. Tomorrow will be the last day to end the Boer War, and the day after tomorrow will be transferred to China.
