The air crews on the unpowered reconnaissance hot air balloon saw four light cavalry companies rushing towards the rear------ no matter how many cavalry the opponent had, they were determined not to let them storm the rear of the position!

Immediately afterwards, he also saw that a total of eight chariots in the four-wheeled carriage-style chariot convoy on the left and right sides quickly rushed to the rear, and they swung sideways and quickly lowered the side of the carriage!

The air crew on the scout balloon breathed a sigh of relief, he had seen the convoy of many interdiction drills------ by this time, their hand-cranked Gatling guns were ready.

The second division commander Tao Mu hurried here with his men, but fortunately, he saw that all the baggage soldiers had raised their rifles, and they leaned against the back of the chariot and looked at the outside seriously.

With such a cover as a chariot, there is really no need to be afraid of cavalry!

Master Tao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, the long drill was not in vain.

He put the brim of his hat with the revolver pistol in his hand, damn it, how did the enemy in the rear appear?!

At this time, the explosion of grenades was heard not far away, as well as the firing of carbines!

The air crew members on the unpowered reconnaissance hot air balloon quickly sent a message:

"The enemy has about 3,000 cavalry fighting with four companies of our light cavalry!"

Tao Mu's division commander's eyes were red, the light cavalry of the four companies was only six hundred horses, they were the troops responsible for accompanying the attack of the battle convoy, and they could not be allowed to fight with the opponent's cavalry!

He immediately asked the signalman to instruct the air force members to issue an order to retreat, and not to fight with each other!

The valiant light cavalry warriors have bought time for the rear of the army to defend!!

Two red and one white flares hissed in the air, marking long smoke trails.

This was an order for the light cavalry to retreat to the left and right sides of the position.

Sneak attack on the rear of the enemy's army formation, this is also the Tatar army's usual tactics, like their left and right double-click tactics, this tactics have allowed them to destroy countless enemy positions, often with fewer wins more ------ the most successful battle was in the first expedition to Europe, they defeated the European 50,000 coalition forces with 8,000 cavalry attacking the rear of the enemy's army!

Therefore, this time, Adjutant General Tiermuha, who was in charge of the ambush and sneak attack, thought that he could also succeed, especially after they secretly ambushed the hill on the left side of the main road, fortunately evaded the reconnaissance of the opposing cavalry reconnaissance team, and watched this small army trot by.

After they all passed, more than 3,000 of them quietly led out the war horses, quietly formed a team, and then quietly followed.

When they saw that the other party raised the kind of large Kong Ming lantern, although there were still three or four kilometers away, they still began to charge------ they had no bottom in their hearts, maybe sooner or later they would be seen by the people above, it was better to charge in advance, and strive for the role of attacking the enemy's position.

They are the real Tanma Red Army, soldiers selected from thousands of households, hundreds of households and tribes, and they will form elite troops to act as a vanguard in field battles and sieges of castles!

Although they are now stationed in conquered areas------ they are still in battle!

They didn't fight in a dignified manner, but were willing to be attackers, which is already looking down on those begging pirates------- after all, they really hurt the Tatars in the last few big battles!!

Admiral Tiermuha knew that the pirates would be the only chance to defeat them this time: they were few in number and had no feared defenses.

If they can't be defeated again, all the Tatars will have to return to the Tatar steppes to live the life of eating and sleeping in the open, hungry and cold.

Of course, he later learned that that life was also happy.

Vice Admiral Tiermuha concluded at the beginning of the assault that the other party would not be able to react at all!

Sure enough, not long after they attacked, the other party hurriedly sent hundreds of light cavalry to intercept them------ those hundreds of people were just a swarm of ants in front of their iron cavalry!

Adjutant General Tiermuha shouted: "@#¥%! ”

The cavalry behind him opened their bows and arrows in unison, shooting into the air------ a shower of arrows drew a beautiful arc, shooting towards the light cavalry who met the opponent!

At this time, a row of gunshots rang out from the other side!

Vice Admiral Tiermuha knew that it was powerful, and he hurriedly lay on the horse's back: "*&......%#!" ”

Many of the team members followed his example.

But there were still dozens of horsemen who fell off their horses and ------ rolled on the ground!

A little later, Vice Admiral Tiermuha saw that dozens of the opposing light cavalry were also hit by arrows, but hatefully, only a few were dropped!

The lethality of bows and arrows is really different from that of carbines!!

At this time, the members of both sides began to shake the rope-throwing grenade------ since the grenade appeared, the cavalry of both sides almost simultaneously dropped in this method------ a good hand can basically drop a hundred meters away!

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

When the two sides attacked each other, grenades exploded in the cavalry of both sides, causing casualties!

However, Vice Admiral Tiermuha finally waited for the blade battle------ haha, take your life, Han dogs!

He took the lead and raised the steel knife in his hand------ his subordinates also raised their weapons!

He saw that the other party had reduced his speed and drew the same style of saber at the same time.

Adjutant General Tiermuha was a little awkward for a moment, his army had never unified its weapons, sabers, swords, spears, maces, everything.

When there was still a distance of dozens of meters, Deputy General Tiermuha suddenly found that a row of people in front of the other party raised their arms at him!

Oh no, they're playing tricks again!

Vice Admiral Tiermuha, who rushed to the front, knew that it was a short fire, and it could fire in bursts!

He didn't dare to swing his knife in a fighting posture while standing upright, and lay dead on the horse's neck.

This reaction may have saved his life------

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

There was no sound of grenade explosions, but the rows of them came in, and the Red Horse Expedition, which the Tatar army was proud of, was easily knocked off their horses!

The officers of the four Imperial Light Cavalry companies above the squad leader level were armed with revolver pistols, and when they charged, they took the lead in the same way as Adjutant General Tirmuha------ but the role of the revolver pistol was different, not just to boost morale, but to play the role of the revolver pistol in close combat.

This kind of pistol is not very accurate if it exceeds fifty meters, and its lethality is not enough, but when it is used in cavalry battles, it is too useful!

Because the range of the target is too large, it is basically a face-to-face shot, so there is no need to aim, and the power of the burst is far more terrifying than that of a bow and arrow!

Vice Admiral Tiermuha saw the people around him roll off the horse one by one, his eyes were red, but he could only wait for the other party to finish shooting his bullets!

The speed of the impact on both sides unconsciously slowed down------
