As soon as Dol's decision was decided, the faces of his subordinates showed an eager expression.

Faced with a thousand tigers and leopards, this piece of fat that seemed to them to have almost reached their mouths, everyone wanted to eat it and take this battle exploit for themselves.

Seeing that his subordinates had not lost their courage against the Tiger and Par Army because of the defeat in the last battle, a smile appeared on Dollu's face. Then, he commanded to a Tartar general: "Dota, I will give you 3,000 elite horsemen, and use three times the strength of the tiger and leopard army to eat this tiger and leopard army." Let the Tiger and Leopard Army know that the real combat power of the Houjin Warriors is much stronger than he imagined. On the field battlefield, the elite Houjin cavalry is invincible to any army. ”

Soon, the 3,000 Tartar horsemen left the troops, fought all the way, and after rolling up a thick layer of dust on the mountain road, they quickly galloped towards the battlefield chosen by the Tiger and Par Army.

Although the battlefield chosen by Wei Zheng was a wasteland with an unobstructed view, because of its narrow terrain, it directly cut off the idea of the Tartars wanting to outflank the Tiger and Par Army.

Therefore, in the face of terrain constraints, the Tartar cavalry could only use the superiority in strength and speed to crush the front of the Tiger and Leopard Army formation. In order to ensure sufficient cavalry charging distance, the mighty Tartar cavalry had just advanced two miles in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army's formation, as if they had been discussed, and stopped at the same time.

Subsequently, with Niu Lu as a unit, a huge cavalry phalanx with a frontal width of more than 400 meters was formed in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army formation.

Facing the almost uniform movements of the Tartar cavalry, and facing the strong murderous aura emanating from the thousands of Tartar cavalry. Even if it was an opponent, an enemy, Wei Zheng couldn't help but show an expression of admiration for the Tartar cavalry on his face.

Compared with Wei Zheng's calmness, the reaction of his subordinates was not so good.

In the face of the shock brought to him by thousands of Tartar cavalry at such close range, including the veterans who had defeated the Tartars, there was a heartfelt worry on their faces, not to mention the recruits who had never been on the battlefield and had only been trained as musketeers for more than ten days.

Everyone's reaction, Wei Zheng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. However, there is nothing that can be done. Because, in the face of a strong enemy, the military spirit of the soldiers is by no means something that can be changed by one or two words, especially those recruits who have just joined the Haw Par Army and have not experienced the rise of the Haw Par Army.

If words can't solve the problem, there is only one way to ease the tension before the battle. Showing everyone the strong strength of the Haw Par Army, tell the soldiers under Sù that the Haw Par Army has confidence and strength to block the attack of the Tatar cavalry.

After taking a deep breath, Wei Zheng shouted loudly: "Artillery, push out all the heavy Franc machines." As soon as the Tartar cavalry came into the range of scattered shells, they immediately opened fire, forming a dense network of bullets that the Tartar cavalry could not break through in front of our army's formation. ”

Hundreds of officers and men shouted slogans while pushing, and 20 artillery pieces with barrels thicker than their thighs were slowly pushed out of the military formation, holding their black hole muzzles high and blocking the front of the military formation.

At the same time, the sub-cannons, which had been loaded with gunpowder and lead bullets, were also quickly moved out by the gunners and placed very neatly next to the cannon barrels.

Wei Zheng's approach was not wrong, the moment the huge cannon body of the heavy Franc machine just appeared, the panicked expressions on the faces of many soldiers had slowly dissipated unconsciously.

Of course, at this time, General Tartar also saw the artillery that suddenly appeared in front of the Tiger and Par Army. Although he was afraid of the power of artillery, he had been driven out of the shelves by Dole, even if he was afraid, he had to command the elite cavalry under his command to take down this tiger and leopard army.

Besides, in his eyes, although the artillery equipped with the Haw Par Army is very powerful, the penetration of the artillery is very limited.

In the wasteland in front of him, where there were no obstacles, the cavalry under his command could fire up to three rounds of shells forward from the time they entered the artillery range to the time they rushed into the opponent's artillery position, and calculated at the speed at which the cavalry charged with all their might.

However, what the Tatar general did not expect was that the artillery battalion under the Haw Par Army did not intend to send artillery at the Tatar cavalry according to the routine of the official army.

The Hawpar gunners, who were already proficient in three-stage or even two-stage shooting, and because of their large-scale use of sub-cannons, were fully capable of firing at least ten rounds of shells at the Tartars during the time of the Tartar cavalry's charge, and using as many shotguns as possible to kill and injure the Tartar cavalry.

However, this is not a secret that the Tartar general can know.

Seeing that the cavalry phalanx behind him had been formed, in order not to give the tiger and leopard army in front of him more time to stabilize the morale of the army. The Tartar General drew his sword very neatly, and with all his strength, slashed forward violently, and roared loudly.

"Warriors, for revenge, kill all the Haw Par Army...... Kill ......"

After an earth-shattering roar of "kill ......" sounded on the battlefield, the three thousand Tatar cavalry drew their sabers at the same time, urged the war horses under their crotches, and began to accelerate forward.

Time passed little by little, and the roar of the horse's galloping hooves became louder and louder. Of course, the charging speed of the war horse is also getting faster and faster.

By the time the distance between the two armies had rapidly shortened to a mile, the three thousand Tartar cavalry had already increased their charging speed to the limit.

In the face of the stronger deterrent effect brought by the cavalry charge, the feelings and military hearts of the thousands of soldiers of the musket regiment that had just stabilized on their faces became turbulent again. What's more, the faces of some of the soldiers have turned pale unconsciously.

Seeing this situation, Wei Zheng could only prove to everyone again with practical actions that he had the ability to command everyone and block the Tartar cavalry.

At this moment, he didn't care whether the Tartar was in the effective range of the artillery, and directly used all his strength to shout: "Artillery, open the cannon immediately......"

......A series of deafening roars resounded on the battlefield, and seven of the 20 Franc machine guns quickly spewed out a cloud of orange-red flames mixed with a large amount of white smoke and black smoke, and then, the huge body of the Franc machine gun was shrouded in white smoke that quickly spread from the muzzle.

Of course, the moment the cannon body was shrouded, thousands of lead bullets flying at high speed quickly spread out in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army, forming an impermeable lead bullet net, and flew towards the Tartar cavalry overwhelmingly.

Lead bullets are not arrows, and combined with their flight speed exceeding several times that of arrows, the tartar who is holding his saber high cannot see the lead bullets coming at him.

The only way they knew they were starting to be attacked was through the sound of artillery.

Hearing the sound of cannons means that the Haw Par Army wants to fire their own cannons. However, when they saw the distance between the two armies of almost a mile, the nervous expression that had just appeared on the Tartar's face was directly covered with contempt.
