However, the musketeers were all wearing armor made of stainless steel, and those who flew out were not in danger of life, but they just fell. Get up and keep shooting.

As the muskets continued to fire, another group of Tatar cavalry fell off their horses.

But the Tarnu cavalry, as long as it did not fall, kept rushing forward. That posture is like an arrow off the string, and it cannot be retracted at a moment.

Several more horses had already rushed into the ranks of the musketeers. The cavalrymen immediately put down their crossbows and drew their swords to slash the musketeers on the ground.

But the musketeers were not vegetarians either, they had bayonets on the heads of their guns. At this time, they specially pierced the belly of the war horse, and for a while, the war horses of the Tarsis were stabbed one after another, and they were not controlled by the cavalry.

However, some muskets were stabbed, but the steel on their bodies saved their lives. However, there were also some low musketeers who were slashed in the face, or in the thighs and calves, thinking that this part was unarmoured, and were wounded for this, and some of them whimpered.

"Cavalry attack." Gao Tang shouted.

The Han cavalry behind him rushed out. The cavalry were armed with muskets. Their muskets were also not quite the same as those of the infantry. The cavalrymen's muskets were made of stainless steel. It can be knocked against the steel knife in the hand of the Tarnu cavalry.

Moreover, these muskets were made of steel bayonets, which could be used directly in direct combat with the Tarnon cavalry.

This time, Chen Cheng brought 40,000 elite cavalry from the south bank of the Yangtze River, and there are 5,000 here. These cavalrymen were specially trained. The training was all at the level of the Tatar cavalry. And these cavalrymen were rigorously selected. Everyone has trained a good kung fu.

At this time, these five thousand elite cavalry could not help but be armored and equipped with grenades. This is the first time they have encountered a real war.

They were also very fast, and in an instant they were engaged with the cavalry of the Tarnus.

After a period of four kills, it turned out to be part of the top and bottom.

They began to throw grenades, injuring a large area. Then, the musketeers behind him began to reorganize their ranks and continued to shoot.

This time, the Tarslav cavalry couldn't stand it, but they wouldn't retreat even if they were killed.

Although the cavalry did not retreat, the withdrawal horn sounded in the rear. The cavalry had no choice but to turn their horses around and go back to the barracks.

The cavalry of the Han army was about to pursue, and Gao Tang also hurriedly gave the order to blow the order to withdraw the army.

Gao Tang returned to his big tent in the Chinese army, put down his helmet, drank a bowl of herbal tea, wiped his mouth, and laughed. It seems that the army building of the imperial court over the years has been very effective. Thinking of this, I can't help but admire the current emperor Liu Yonglai.

"Hey! Your Majesty is really far-sighted. With this combination of armies, it was only a matter of time before the Tatars were defeated. It's just that this Tarslav is a behemoth and can't be swallowed in one bite. Just look at their cavalry, it's really a god's worn. It's so powerful, it's no wonder the Tatar army is invincible. If it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of War had improved its equipment and designed the army model according to the characteristics of the Tatar cavalry, it would have really suffered the loss of the Tatar cavalry today, and maybe the defense would have been broken by the Tatar cavalry. It's dangerous! ”

Gao Tang muttered to himself, but he was also thinking in his heart: "In today's battle, it is the Tatar slaves who suffer the most damage, and there are only a few casualties on his side, which is basically negligible." Now that they've kicked the ball to the Tarnus, let's see what they'll do next. Look at it that way, today, they used all the tricks. ”

Thinking of this, he took a sip of tea, and then thought again: "If the feint attack on this side is blocked, then the real attack on the Black Tiger Ridge in the southeast may not happen." But that's fine, anyway, my purpose is to stop the Tarslaves. If they can't attack it, it's a victory. ”

"Someone's coming." He screamed.

Here comes a pawn.

"What's the matter with the General?" The pawn asked.

Gao Tang said: "Is there any news on the side of Black Tiger Ridge?" ”

"Back to the general, not yet." The pawn replied.

"Go, let the signal corps go and investigate." Gao Tang said.

"Yes, General." The pawn answered and went.

At this time, the food was served, and naturally there was wine. This battle was that he was hungry for a long time in the morning. The class began to gobble up.

On the forward positions, the artillery was again rearranged, behind which were the musketeers, behind the cavalry, then the infantry. This level of defense is generally impenetrable.

After this battle, the Tarnus really did not dare to attack rashly.

After Gao Tang ate, he came to the front line again to see the situation in person. See the silence in the Tatar camp. He smiled and said lightly, "It seems that the Tarnus are thinking about how to attack!" Think about it, think about it slowly. I'm not in a hurry anyway. After saying that, he smiled, turned around and went back to the big tent.

There was also news from Black Tiger Ridge in the big tent, and everything was normal. The main force of the Tatar army was encamped ten miles east of Heihuling.

Gao Tang understood this time that as long as the two places of Pingdu and Baishan were defended, the Tatar army in Black Tiger Ridge would not dare to attack rashly. Because Black Tiger Ridge is not as flat as this, the cavalry there is useless. It's all mountains. Attacking Black Tiger Ridge with infantry alone was not a strong point for the Tarnus.

Thinking of this, he decisively transferred 20,000 horses from Lijiazhuang to enrich Pingdu's defense.

On this battlefield, it is ever-changing, and taking one step at a time is a matter of one step. Originally, he had planned to pretend to be defeated by the attack of the Tatar army and retreat slightly, so as to take the opportunity to let the army in Black Tiger Ridge pretend to come to help. Then invite the main army of the Tartars into the Black Tiger Ridge to gather and annihilate them.

But I'm afraid I don't need it for the time being. Let's see what else the Tarslavs can do.

Gao Tang asked the signal soldier to send a message and told Chen Cheng to stay on hold for the time being. Chen Cheng received it.

That night, the Tatar army did not move. The next day it still didn't move. On the third day, news came from Chen Cheng that the Tatar army in Black Tiger Ridge was retreating.

After Gao Tang got the news, he immediately sent someone to invite Chen Cheng to discuss countermeasures.

The withdrawal of the Tatar army in Black Tiger Ridge shows that the Tatar army has changed its previous strategy. This must have happened because Pingdu's offensive was blocked. Another point is that the Tatar army in Black Tiger Ridge may have known that their intentions had been exposed to the Han army, and they had no choice but to change their previous strategy.

But no matter what, the withdrawal of troops from Heihuling has made the direction of the war uncertain.

Chen Cheng hurried to the Chinese army tent in Gaotang.

"Senior brother, you're here, sit down." Gao Tang welcomed Chen Cheng into the big tent. Then he poured tea for Chen Cheng.

"Brother Chen, did the Tarnu army in Black Tiger Ridge know that they were exposed?" Gao Tang asked.

"Well, it's very likely. It's only a dozen miles away. Chen Cheng replied.
