"Phew" the commander sat in the trench and finally heaved a sigh of relief
"We have defeated the general," a soldier told the commander excitedly
"We won the battle and they retreated," said the commander indifferently.
Zhao Jun's first attack was repelled without any progress. The cavalry's impact turned into a force without any offensive capabilities in front of the barbed wire and the defensive trenches. Their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the infantry. This made Zhao Jun's cavalry face Immediately felt dull. The worst part is that they also lost their commander and company flag
"Look at the billowing smoke over there!" A soldier shouted loudly
"It seems to be the location of the bridge over there," said a soldier.
"What?" At this time, the commander quickly stood up and asked.
"Look over there." The soldier pointed to the place where the smoke came out
"The bridge on our side has been missed. Hurry up and order the people defending the bridge on our side to strengthen their defenses," the commander ordered loudly.
"Here" a soldier quickly left to convey the order
What the commander is afraid of is that Zhao Jun will attack them from two directions from another direction, and the situation will be even worse.

"Listen to the dense gunshots over there." Just as the cavalry attacked another bridgehead, a sergeant reminded the battalion commander to pay attention.
"I know" the battalion commander said coldly, he set up a defensive position and mobilized troops to move in that direction
"The sound of gunfire doesn't seem to be the sound of pistols and rifles," said a second lieutenant who entered the defensive position on the spot.
"What's that sound, sir?" asked a cavalryman
"The rifle is likely to belong to the Qi army. We may be in trouble," said the second lieutenant.
"Is that so?" said the cavalryman and the second lieutenant did not answer the cavalryman's question
The battalion commander quickly left the bridgehead position with the transferred troops. He needs to solve the problem of another bridgehead as soon as possible. Only by occupying another bridgehead position can the Qi army's southward retreat be completely blocked.
"What should we do? The Qi army has 300 men and we currently only have less than 100 men, and the other side has barbed wire fences and complete fortifications." A second lieutenant of the Zhao army cavalry asked eagerly.
"Our commander is also dead and our company's battle flag has not been brought back, what should we do?" a lieutenant asked
"Okay, okay, I know all of this." A lieutenant of Zhao Jun waved his arms impatiently, indicating that he knew everything.
The lieutenant was temporarily elected as the commander of the company but the situation he faced was very bad. The company lost about one platoon of troops. The worst thing was that the company commander was killed in the first battle. Plus the company flag Losing a situation like this is bad for morale
"We need to redefine our offensive plan," the lieutenant said at this time
"But before we need to re-reconnaissance the situation, our troops are at a disadvantage," the lieutenant said at this time
At this time, a Zhao Jun cavalry who hurried up ran over to report in a low voice
"Sir, the Battalion Commander is here," the cavalryman hurriedly told the lieutenant
"So fast" the lieutenant asked in surprise
"What are you doing?" At this moment, the battalion commander shouted loudly, obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with not being able to take down the bridgehead in time
"This" lieutenant can't explain at this time. Although he is now the interim commander, the mission is still not completed.
"Stop talking nonsense and talk about your situation." The battalion commander hurried over and asked
"The situation is like this," the lieutenant began to introduce
"We will launch a cavalry offensive to attack the bridgehead according to your plan." The lieutenant began to introduce the situation
"Say the result directly" the battalion commander directly interrupted the topic
"We failed to capture the bridgehead," said the lieutenant
"Nonsense," the battalion commander responded directly.
"Loss" asked the battalion commander
"About one platoon was lost and more than 30 people were killed. In addition, the company commander and company flag were also lost," the lieutenant replied truthfully at this time.
"You guys are amazing," the battalion commander sneered.
But the lieutenant had no choice but to face the ridicule of the battalion commander because he was his commander.
"What are your plans?" asked the battalion commander
"We are re-working the battle plan. First, I want to re-reconnaissance," the lieutenant said at this time.
"Very well, let's go together," the battalion commander said at this time
"What?" the lieutenant said in surprise
"Aren't you coming together?" said the battalion commander
"It's sir," said the lieutenant at this time.
The battalion commander and the lieutenant quickly disguised themselves and crawled away from the position of the Qi army for reconnaissance. They held binoculars in their hands to check the situation.
"No wonder your commander died in battle." The battalion commander said while checking the Qi army's position with a binoculars
"What sir?" the lieutenant asked carefully from the side
"Your officer must have not conducted a detailed reconnaissance before. If he did a detailed reconnaissance, he would find that there are simple camouflaged barbed wire fences in front of him and a complete ring fortification. These fortifications are all learned from Qin." At this time, the battalion commander said
At this time, the lieutenant could only nod his head in tacit agreement. He didn't know anything about it, because according to what the battalion commander said, Zhao Jun didn't send out scouts for reconnaissance at the beginning. Instead, they just launched a cavalry offensive blindly according to the plan arranged by the battalion commander. As a result, they become powerless in the face of a perfect defense system
"We have to avoid those damn fortifications, they have too much influence on us," said the battalion commander at this time
"Oh," the lieutenant replied softly from the side
"Let's go back," the battalion commander said at this time, and then the battalion commander returned to the assembly place of the Zhao army
"Our current situation is that the Qi army has established a complete defense system at the bridgehead. They have trenches and barbed wire. These are disasters for our cavalry. These things make it difficult for our cavalry to continue to play an impact role," the battalion commander said at this time.
"So let's dismount and fight on foot." The battalion commander said at this time, and the lieutenant on the side opened his mouth to speak after hearing this order.
"We..." The lieutenant wanted to explain something, but the battalion commander stopped him with his hand
"Lieutenant, your company will dismount and fight on foot. You will launch an infantry attack from the left flank. No matter what happens, your troops can only move forward and not retreat, understand?" the battalion commander said at this time.
"You must use your heroic and tenacious fighting spirit to attract the attention of the other party, and you must not retreat no matter what," the battalion commander said at this time
"What do you mean?" asked the Lieutenant
