Ma Changbao didn't know the origin of this cavalry, but he soon learned about it. During the battle, the Ming army captured some French and Spanish soldiers. After taking several prisoners over and taking a look, Ma Changbao noticed that the people's faces showed extremely joy and excitement.

Seeing this, Ma Changbao's heart suddenly sank. When he learned what the dragon cavalry represented, he was already convinced that the opponent on his opposite side had already taken out a trump card, and the Ming army would face unprecedented challenges.

After waved his hand and asked someone to take the prisoner down, Ma Changbao returned to the rear command center with a worried look, thinking about what to do next.

In fact, Ma Changbao can retreat completely. As long as he takes the initiative to withdraw from this defense zone, he can avoid the main force of the Farsi coalition, and then think of other ways to deal with the opponent in the future. But the current situation does not allow him to do this, because he knows that once he retreats, the defense line will no longer exist.

Without the cover of the terrain, the road ahead of the French-Speech coalition is smooth. By then, the opponent will inevitably concentrate troops to attack Xinming's cities and residences. There is only one way for the Ming army to face, which is a decisive victory on the front, but the possibility of a decisive victory on the front is not high. If the decisive battle is defeated, the entire rule of Xinming will collapse.

By then, let alone Ma Changbao, even Pan Mengyuan could not afford this result. Therefore, this is also the main reason why Ma Changbao has always been in a position of standing. But as the enemy becomes stronger and stronger, can Ma Changbao, who lacks support, be able to defend it?

The next day, the attack of the French coalition became even more fierce. Perhaps the arrival of the dragon cavalry brought the morale of the French coalition to its peak. Faced with waves of attacks, Ma Changbao's subordinates fought back desperately, but they were still at a disadvantage.

As the battle situation on the front became more intense, the casualties of Ma Changbao's troops continued to rise, and the front began to shake. At this time, Ma Changbao could only grit his teeth and persevere. He even personally led the last team of personal guards to the front line to support. The battle was fought from morning to dusk, and the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but they still barely defended.

"General, if this continues, we will be wiped out. When will the reinforcements arrive?" asked the two regiment commanders under Ma Changbao. All of them were injured. One of them was shot in the thigh and could not even stand. At present, they could only carry the commanding force on a stretcher.

The organization of the Ming army was based on Zhu Yicheng's equipment for the new army, so the Ming army's regiment had much more troops than the Fans' coalition.

In this era, a regiment in European countries generally had about 1,200 to 1,500 people, while a main regiment of the Ming army had to reach more than 4,000 people.

Ma Changbao has two regiments under his command, plus his troops, a total of about 10,000 people. Until now, there is less than one entire regiment of troops, and less than 30% of these men are intact, and the rest are all injured.

At this time, Ma Changbao had almost reached the end of his life. He knew why his subordinates asked this question, because everyone knew that tomorrow's battle would probably be their last battle. If there was no reinforcements to support him, all of them would not be able to see the acquired sun.

But where are the reinforcements? This also made Ma Changbao anxious. Even a little reinforcements are good at this time.

Just as Ma Changbao was about to comfort his subordinates, a guard suddenly ran in from outside. His steps were extremely fast, but his face was filled with ecstasy.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are here!"

"What! Reinforcements are coming?"

"Really? Reinforcements...reinforcements are finally here!"

Everyone present was stunned first, and then everyone showed an ecstatic expression. The reinforcements that had not been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, just like a man who was about to drown. At the last moment, he grabbed a life-saving rope, and his excitement was self-evident.

Compared to others, Ma Changbao was much more rational. Although he was also surprised, he suppressed his joy and asked where the reinforcements were. When he learned that the vanguard of the reinforcements had only one mile away from the camp, Ma Changbao hurriedly walked out and rushed towards the direction where the reinforcements came.

"General! Yin Xiong, the second whistle commander of the First Battalion of the First Cavalry Regiment, came to report!"

Not long after he met, a team of cavalry appeared not far from Ma Changbao. Taking advantage of the night, the cavalry soon came close. A leading lieutenant jumped off the horse with agility, took a few steps forward to Ma Changbao, and then saluted neatly.

"It's your boy!" Of course, Yin Xiong, Ma Changbao, knew this boy. He promoted this Indian boy from a soldier to an officer, and brought him into the newly formed cavalry regiment.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, Yin Xiong, who was still very young at the time, had become a qualified cavalry commander, and now he has spoken as fluently as Ming people. In addition, the Indians and Han people were originally similar in appearance, he could not see his original identity in his uniform.

"General, the road is not easy to walk. In addition, we came a little late because of the baggage. Please forgive me." Yin Xiong said guiltily. Ma Changbao did not blame the other party because he had received news of cavalry reinforcements before. As a general, he certainly understood how much time it took to go over. In fact, Yin Xiong and the others arrived two days earlier than he had originally expected.

"How many people have come?" Ma Changbao pulled Yin Xiong aside and asked. In order to boost morale, he lied to his subordinates that there were two regiments of reinforcements, but now the reinforcements have arrived. If the number of reinforcements is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the troops.

While the reinforcements have not arrived yet, Ma Changbao must make up for it and think of countermeasures.

"All members of the First Battalion of the First Cavalry Regiment, as well as the second battalion, led by our battalion commander Lu Li, have two infantrymen, one of which was specially sent by the commander of the commander, but due to road reasons, the heavy artillery could not be carried, and this time they brought only the Flang machine and the six-jin cannon."

Nodded slightly, the scale and number of reinforcements were similar to the information Ma Changbao got. It seemed that only these reinforcements were the time being. Although the number was a little smaller, the arrival of reinforcements was a good thing after all, and more importantly, the elite cavalry and one-sentence artillery units came.

With these reinforcements, the current dilemma can be alleviated. At the same time, Ma Changbao was careful and asked Yin Xiong to immediately go to the reinforcements that had not arrived in the rear, and brought him a message to Lu Li, telling him that when all the reinforcements arrived, they would say that they were the vanguard troops once they asked, and as for other reinforcements, they would come in the future.
