Chapter 268: A Battle of Life and Death (2)

The screams of horses, the screams of men, and the continuous sound of gunfire completely covered the entire battlefield. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The strong smell of blood in the air irritated the nerves of every soldier, and the eighty guards seemed to be numb by now, they only knew that they kept shooting and loading ammunition, and the rest was completely incomprehensible.

The thick black smoke emitted by the black powder had blurred their vision, and they were completely fighting by feeling at this moment, when their visibility reached twenty meters. A light wind rose on the flat ground, spreading the black smoke floating on the Tang Ming army, and soon covered the Tatar cavalry.

Tang Ming took the time to look at the situation on the left and right, it was almost the same as the front side, he didn't know how many casualties the Tatar cavalry had, and he couldn't see anything in the thick black smoke of the telescope.

Fortunately, not a single Tatar cavalry had rushed through the line of flintlock fire until now. This is enough to prove that the scales of victory are tilting in their favor. Seeing the hope of victory, Tang Ming couldn't help but increase his confidence, and immediately ordered the remaining soldiers of the Sharpshooter Battalion to join the battle, and the gunfire on the battlefield became more dense in an instant.

But what Tang Ming never expected was that there were ambushes on the Tatar side, and when he was excited, Zhu Yong's cavalry in the rear suddenly heard a commotion. When he turned to look, he saw a group of Tatar cavalry actually mingling with Zhu Yong and them.

Cold sweat instantly covered Tang Ming's entire forehead, and it was only at this moment that he understood that this was the biggest killer weapon of the Tartars, and the cavalry in front and left and right were just to attract his attention.

The number of cavalry that came out quietly was not large, but they were all brave and good at fighting, and although Zhu Yong and his subordinates resisted hard, they were still defeated and retreated. In the face of this sudden Tatar cavalry, Zhu Yong and his subordinates suffered nearly 400 casualties under the impact of the other party, and almost every Tatar cavalry took the life of a Ming cavalryman.

The visual effect of brutal cold weapon warfare is far greater than that of flintlock pistols. One is long-distance combat and the other is hand-to-hand combat, the soldier's fight is knife to flesh knife knife blood, severed hands and heads can be seen everywhere, blood is like a splash of rain washing every soldier.

Zhu Yong's whole body was already soaked in blood, and he didn't know if it was his own or someone else's splash on him. But judging from the fact that he can still fight bravely, the blood stains on his body should be mostly someone else's.

The battle between the cavalry required a certain amount of space to move, and Tang Ming, in order to cooperate with Zhu Yong, immediately ordered all the gunners to start marching forward. Eighty guards were also urgently transferred back to the rear, and each of them shot the Tatar cavalry mixed with Zhu Yong's subordinates for the battle point, so that Zhu Yong could breathe a sigh of relief and be ready to return fire at any time.

A wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the Tatar cavalry, who had been watching from the rear, also began to move at this time, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded again, making all the Ming soldiers on the battlefield feel inexplicable pressure again.

Li Dazhui personally went into battle at this moment, his marksmanship was accurate, and the two guards around him loaded him with ammunition, and every shot he fired could always take the life of a Tatar cavalryman. After a dozen shots, Li Dazhui was targeted by the Tatar cavalry.

Suddenly, two sharp arrows burst through the air, whistling past their scalps and burrowing into the bodies of the two soldiers. After the two blood splashes, the soldier immediately fell to the ground, and Li Dazhui almost died, and he was scared into a cold sweat and immediately searched for the person who shot the arrow.

Tang Ming is a novice, but also a general who does not know how to command, he is helpless in the face of such a complex situation, and Zhu Yong is stuck on the battlefield and can't get out. At this moment, the only thing he can rely on is Li Dazhui, and the thrilling scene just now happened to be seen by him.

The only way to get out of the current predicament was to put the command in the hands of Li Dazhu, so he immediately called Li Dazhui back, and he himself took eighty personal guards to steadily step into the Tatar cavalry in the rear.

Zhu Yong was being attacked by two Tatar cavalry at the moment, and two scimitars were beside him, although Zhu Yong embroidered the spring knife and danced impermeable, but he was already a little weak to follow, and after a few rounds, he was already in danger.

If it weren't for the two guards behind him who swore to defend him, I don't know if Zhu Yong would have died under the Tatar sword. Zhu Yong was too busy to take care of himself, so he naturally couldn't command his subordinates who were already in chaos.

Tang Ming took the flintlock pistol from the guard, raised the gun and shot at the Tatar cavalry who attacked Zhu Yong. Zhu Yong, who was under reduced pressure, took the opportunity to cut down another Tatar cavalryman, turned his horse's head and ran to Tang Ming's side.

As soon as Zhu Yong got out, he realized that his subordinates had fallen into chaos, and his face changed suddenly, and he turned his horse's head again and returned to the battlefield. After a dash around the battlefield, he gradually gathered his subordinates, and only then did the situation begin to stabilize.

Tang Ming just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he thought of the Tatar cavalry that had been reinforced, and when he looked back, he saw that Li Dazhui and the sharpshooter battalion were also in a bitter battle. The Tatar cavalry's fearless forward charge had already made Li Dazhui feel great pressure.

The sharp arrows fired by the enemy also caused the casualties of the sharpshooter battalion to increase dramatically, and Tang Ming's army would definitely not be able to hold out for long if this continued.

Tang Ming, who was red-eyed, was also angry, jumped off his horse and joined the battle with a flintlock pistol in his hand, which greatly increased the morale of the sharpshooter battalion.

Under the leadership of Tang Ming, the morale-stricken sharpshooter battalion stubbornly advanced a distance of nearly a hundred steps. Three columns lined up, and the non-stop gunfire and bullets swept through the Tatar cavalry.

Tang Ming in the rear and the guards who surrounded him in the middle used point shots to harvest the Tatar cavalry who had slipped through the net. It's a pity that no matter how Tang Ming's sharpshooter battalion fought, the Tatar cavalry seemed to be endless, coming in wave after wave.

The battle has entered a state of wrangling, and the two sides are now fighting for courage, and whoever is cowardly will incur defeat. The state of wrangling between the two sides made both the enemy and us refuse to back down.

Life splashed like ants at this moment, the ground under his feet was already covered with dead bodies, and the blood of the soldiers' war horses stained the earth as thick as mud. If you step on it, it will not only slip but also stick to your feet.

The smell of blood rushing straight into his nose was so strong that Tang Ming could no longer remember how many Tatar cavalrymen he had shot. He only has one thought left now, which is to keep killing and shooting.

When Tang Ming was caught in the mechanized shooting, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him that made the earth tremble. Both sides were stunned, and neither knew whose reinforcements it was.

The fierce battle came to an end, and both sides invariably stopped their movements and looked away from the sound of horses' hooves. I saw that in the direction where the Ming army was stationed, the billowing smoke and dust were like a storm of sand, quickly sweeping the entire plain. (To be continued.) )
