When the Tang artillery fired, the Tatar cavalry, who knew that the Tang artillery was sharp, suddenly dispersed, and as much as possible to reduce the casualties caused by these solid shells, this was their instinctive reaction, and it was also a tactic that had been prepared a long time ago.

You can't hug it together, and then be stupidly bombarded by the artillery of the Tang Army!

After this is dispersed, as long as it is not and unlucky, then there will not be much loss, and as for a small loss, they don't care!

How can there be no immortal in war!

After seeing the Tatar cavalry disperse, Chen Keqiao in the rear showed a smile, and as he expected, through artillery bombardment, he successfully dispersed the enemy's cavalry ranks.

Chen Keqiao wanted to disperse the enemy's cavalry for a very simple reason, that is, to reduce the density of Tatar troops in a fixed combat width as much as possible, so as to reduce the number of bows and arrows they could shoot per unit area, and at the same time, it would also allow his own flintlock musketeers to get more opportunities to open fire, so as to increase the density of fire.

To put it simply, it is to reduce the enemy's firepower density and increase your own firepower density!

The Tatars continued to rush forward, but the front of their charge had expanded to more than two hundred meters, and the depth had become smaller.

Chen Keqiao is still smiling in the back!

The enemy took the initiative to attack, he Chen Keqiao was not afraid, what he was afraid of was that these enemy troops would not fight, and then turn around and leave!

The Tatars continued to rush forward, and when they reached a distance of about 100 meters, they found that the Tang army on the opposite side did not even shoot, and the Tatars naturally knew the basic tactics and range of the muskets, and they got a very small number of muskets from the Ming army, knowing that the muskets could fire at about 100 meters and cause effective damage.

But the Tang army on the opposite side did not dare to shoot!

They certainly didn't dare to shoot, this musket was difficult to load, and after firing, their musket became a burning stick!

"Go on, rush up and shoot the arrow!"

Since the Tang army did not shoot, then they were not polite, just took the opportunity to spend this period of time safely, and then rushed to a distance of fifty or sixty meters to shoot arrows.

However, when they rushed to about fifty or sixty meters and were about to release their arrows, the musketeers in front of them had already pulled the trigger under the command of the officers, without the slightest defense, and the dozens of Tatar cavalry who rushed to the front were all overturned on horseback, and some of them were fine, but the horses were hit, and for the cavalry on the run, the cavalry itself was concentrated and the war horse was hit, in fact, there was not much difference, it was all over.

Row after row of Tatar cavalry fell, and yet they continued to advance!

Just want to stop them with the shooting of muskets, that is too underestimate them!

Some of them also began to bend their bows and shoot arrows directly on horseback, and a large number of arrows flew directly to the Tang army formation in front, and then in an instant, they caused many casualties among the Tang army's musketeers.

Although most of the musketeers of the Tang Army were equipped with helmets and cuirasses, after all, they were not fully armored to protect their whole body, and they would be injured if they were shot in limbs and other positions without armor protection.

However, at this time, not only the Tang musketeers in front of them opened fire, but the Tang army formations of several phalanxes on both sides were also running quickly for dozens of meters, and then opened fire on both sides of the Tatar cavalry.

Tang Bing's firepower is so fierce! This is the first feeling of many Tatars, although it is said that they have been attacked, but the Tatars have many cavalry, and they will not be taken down all of a sudden, so they choose to turn!

The left and right sides are a bit dangerous, if you bypass it, not only will there be a slightly protruding Tang army phalanx on the left and right sides, but also on the left and right flanks, there will be several Tang army infantry phalanxes, turning from their array and rushing over, which is a bit dangerous.

The leading Tatar generals also saw the many phalanxes of the Tang army in front at this time, which were very far apart from each other, which was an obvious loophole, and their cavalry could completely pass through it, dodge the fire in front of them, and then kill the enemy behind them.

In this way, it is even possible to break through the enemy array in one fell swoop!

Immediately, under the leadership of these Tatar generals, the Tatar cavalry bent their bows and arrows directly on their horses to counterattack, and on the other hand, they instigated their horses to turn, and then rushed towards the gap between the many Tang infantry phalanxes in front!

This scene, looking at Chen Keqiao, his face was ecstatic on the spot, Nima, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity that I can't imagine!

At first, he just wanted to force the Tatar cavalry to disperse with artillery, and then directly kill and wound them with frontal fire, the big deal was to bear their bows and arrows, but even if it was one for one, he earned it!

If his Fifth Infantry Division was killed or wounded, it would be able to replenish new recruits immediately, but the Tatar cavalry on the opposite side was dead or wounded, Chen Keqiao wanted to know, how could they replenish quickly?

Now the Tatars have rushed in on their own initiative, and this is a good opportunity to fall from the sky!

Before, the cavalry of the Ming army rushed through the phalanx of the Tang Army, and it was also the quadrangular phalanx of the arquebus troops, and the firepower was even weaker, but that's it, the cavalry of the Ming army at that time also suffered heavy casualties.

Now that the Tatars are also rushing in, do they really think that the gap between the many quadrangular phalanxes is the passage they use to break through?

That's not a breakthrough channel, it's a death channel!

However, these Tatars who faced the hollow phalanx of the Tang Army for the first time did not know!

Therefore, in order to avoid the frontal fire, when they chose to rush in through the passage between the hollow phalanxes, they found that the situation on the opposite side was different from what they expected!

Because at this time, they saw a scene that almost made them desperate: the Tang troops on both sides actually opened fire at them with muskets, and what was even more terrifying was that a Tang army formation appeared directly in front of them, and the musketeers in front of this phalanx also fired!

The Tatar cavalry that rushed into the gap in the phalanx turned out to be facing a fire attack from the front, left and right sides at the same time!

Even if the rate of fire of the musket was slower, the concentrated firepower still made the Tatar cavalry in the middle suffer heavy casualties in an instant!

At this moment, the Tatar cavalry, who had entered the many phalanxes of the Tang army, only felt that the muskets of the Tang army were coming towards them in all directions, but in fact, this was not their delusion, but a fact!

Although the Tatar cavalry on horseback also struggled to counterattack with cavalry bows and arrows, the Tatar cavalry who came to test the attack was not much, the total number was only 2,000 people, and some were lost on the road before, and then they were scattered, and the rush into the Tang phalanx was also divided into several directions, resulting in a small total number of Tatar cavalry in each passage.

Although their archery skills are good, they have a lot of troops, and the Datang musketeers on the opposite side are also protected by helmets and cuirasses, which reduces casualties to a certain extent.

What's more, archery also requires physical strength, continuous archery, physical fitness will quickly decay, even the most elite foot archers, in a row to shoot more than a dozen arrows, basically no longer able to shoot arrows, can always maintain high-speed continuous archery archers or mounted archers, that does not exist at all.

In this way, the Tatar cavalry who rushed in found that this scene was different from what they expected!

Although the musketeers of the Don army also kept falling, the cavalry of the Tatars fell faster and even more numerically!

And more importantly, these Tatar cavalry who rushed in couldn't find the direction to come out for a while, and after being forced to turn continuously, the speed of the war horse also slowed down.

And once the cavalry loses its speed, is it still a cavalry?

At this time, Burigood, who was in the rear, turned pale, what was going on?

He couldn't figure it out!

In the attack of his own 2,000 cavalry, the Tang infantry phalanx on the opposite side did not collapse, which was normal, within his expectations, after all, the number of Tang infantry was tens of thousands, as long as the formation did not move, the 2,000 cavalry had no way to take them.

But their own cavalry would have suffered such heavy losses, and after rushing in, there was even the possibility of being surrounded, and the infantry phalanx of the Tang army was moving slowly, trying to block the way of the cavalry in the formation.

Seeing that it was only a few tens of seconds, the cavalry that rushed in had already lost hundreds of them in front and back, and I am afraid that it would not be long before the two thousand cavalry were all lost.

No, we can't drag it out any longer, we have to get those cavalry back!

Immediately, he didn't hesitate too much, and directly launched the order to charge, and this time he also learned the lesson of the previous two thousand cavalry, and he must not take the initiative to rush into the passage between the seemingly safe, but in fact extremely dangerous phalanx.

He wants to attack the Tang army's phalanx in a more crisp and direct way, and bring back the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry!

So while leading the cavalry forward, he shouted loudly: "Form a formation, don't scatter, go up and shoot arrows, and then rush up and break away from their phalanx!" ”

The firepower of the Tang army on the opposite side is too strong, and it is different from what was rumored before!

He had seen the infantry phalanx of the Ming army, and it was rumored that the infantry phalanx of the Ming army and the phalanx of the Tang army were almost the same, both using arquebuses and spears, and the ratio was about five or five kai.

But the Tang army on the opposite side did not have spearmen, but all muskets, and their muskets did not use arquebuses, and the musketeers were very closely arranged.

In this way, the firepower of this Tang army is at least three times stronger than the firepower of the Ming army he has seen!

It is too dangerous to shoot at the Tang army with such strong firepower, as evidenced by the defeat of the two thousand cavalry in front, although the cavalry shooting power of their own side is strong, but the muskets of others are not bad, as long as they hit, one shot is enough to knock down a cavalry!

If you shoot directly, even if you can win, but I'm afraid that your side will also suffer a lot of casualties, the musket on the opposite side is too powerful, and you will be finished with a single bullet, and this is not what Buzhgood wants!

However, the phalanx on the opposite side, which looked very thin, forced to rush forward, and Burigood had a hundred confidence to break through the phalanx in front of them!

There are only three rows of musketeers in the front, and one charge can break through!

When they saw the more than 8,000 Tatar cavalry rushing up on the opposite side, Chen Keqiao in the rear gasped!

The Tatar generals on the opposite side are very decisive!

This time, I'm afraid that my Fifth Infantry Division will suffer heavy casualties!

The infantry forcibly confronted the cavalry, even if it could win, it would be a miserable victory, not to mention that the other party was a 10,000-horse charge!

But it's still that sentence, he, or rather, the Tang Army, is not afraid to fight a war of attrition with the enemy's cavalry!
