Chapter 693: A conspiracy within a conspiracy

Because the five thousand war horses released by the Tartars were all tied together with ropes, and when viewed from the front, there were hardly any loopholes.

Therefore, in the short impact, the two thousand war horses belonging to the Tiger and Leopard Army, almost none of which escaped the net, all fell to the ground.

Of course, the five thousand war horses that should have belonged to the Tartars also lost more than two thousand.

After all, the war horses released by the Tartars are all in groups of five, tied together. As long as one of the horses falls to the ground, the other horses will definitely be dragged down and fall to the ground......

However, even so, the biggest threat to the mountain tartars can be considered eliminated.

And at this moment, the remaining two thousand war horses of the Tartars continued to rush forward......

The musketeers of the 2,000 cavalry divisions who were following behind the war horses and preparing to take advantage of the situation to kill the top of the mountain were directly taken aback by the sudden change.

At this time, they shot lead bullets forward as fast as they could.

The horses that rushed towards them were also knocked to the ground in pieces.

However, in the case of losing the first opportunity, no matter how fast they fired lead bullets, they could not block the impact of these war horses.

After all, when the war horses were actually exposed in front of them, the distance between them was less than a hundred steps.

Seeing the war horses approaching him little by little, the leader of the team knew very well that with the flesh and blood of the soldiers under his command, if he was bumped into by these crazy war horses, what was waiting for him would be the destruction of the whole army......

So, the head of the regiment, who had a solemn face, opened his mouth and decided without thinking about it......

"Retreat, retreat immediately, avoid these war horses, and definitely don't let the war horses bump into ......"

The order was given in a very timely manner, but it was very difficult to reach everyone's ears on the battlefield where the guns were constantly ringing.

Therefore, in the face of the mighty war horses, there are still hundreds of soldiers who have been beaten because of the untimely retreat, and they have been knocked down on the battlefield by the war horses, and their lives and deaths are uncertain......

Just when the commander of the cavalry division led the regiment and looked at the whistling war horses, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A louder roar rang out on the battlefield.

Ao Bai commanded less than 5,000 iron horsemen, some wielding sabers, some bending bows and arrows, using their legs to control their horses, condescendingly, with faster and faster cavalry rushing towards the gap they had just made way of.

Faced with this situation, the regiment commander's expression that had just relaxed became solemn again.

Looking at the Tartar Iron Rider who was getting closer and closer to him, he subconsciously exclaimed......

"Tartar Iron Rider...... It's not good, the Tartars who are holding on to the top of the mountain are about to break through......"

"Musketeers, shoot at once, be sure to stop them...... One, two, two battalions, immediately plug the gap that has just been opened, and these Tartars must not be allowed to successfully break through, I will kill them all......"

No matter how fast the Musketeer's reaction speed is, it is no faster than the Tartar Iron Horse, whose speed has increased to the extreme.

Under the continuous shooting of musketeers of the cavalry divisions on both flanks of the battlefield, the Tartar cavalry group continued to fall off their horses.

However, the Tartars, who rushed to the front, managed to break through the interception of the cavalry division before the gap was blocked.

Not only that, but the Tartars, who whizzed past the musketeers of the cavalry division, did not forget to shoot a round of arrows at the musketeers before retreating......

Under the attack of dense arrows, the two battalions that were ready to plug the gap directly lost three or four hundred people.

Of course, the Tartars, who had less than 5,000 troops, although they broke through successfully.

However, under the interception of the musketeers of the cavalry division, those who managed to break through in the end were not even 4,000 people, and they also suffered heavy losses!

Ao Bai led the staff, and under the cover of thousands of war horses, successfully broke through.

As a result, the sound of gunfire and explosions that enveloped the battlefield also stopped.

The tens of thousands of old and weak Tartars who were left in the camp by Ao Bai did not need the cavalry division to use guns and grenades at all, and they were wiped out.

Of course, because these two tribes did not leave their cattle, sheep and livestock to flee for their lives, the capture of the cavalry division in these two tribes was also very amazing......

In addition to countless cattle, sheep and livestock, mountains of gold and silver finances. The largest capture was the huge herd of horses owned by the two tribes, more than 15,000 horses of various types......

However, at this moment, no one in the cavalry division, from top to bottom, appreciated these results.

Because, in this conspiracy completely dominated by Ao Bai, the cavalry division paid a staggering 2,000 troops. More importantly, among the 2,000 soldiers who lost, almost 1,500 people, all the firearms and equipment fell into the hands of the Tartars, increasing the military strength of the Golden Tartars......"

Looking at the gloomy expression on the face of the division commander, the regiment commander, who had just attacked with the team, hurriedly opened his mouth to plead guilty......

"Division, commander, I'm too underestimating the enemy...... Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but they also did not block the breakthrough of the Tartars, and asked the regiment commander to surrender his guilt. ”

As soon as the regiment commander finished speaking, the division commander shook his head and denied: "No, it's not your fault, you hit very high...... I'm confident that even if I were to command this battle, I wouldn't be able to destroy so many Tartars at such a small cost......"

After finishing speaking, a sneer quickly flashed on his face, and the division commander continued to speak......

"If I really want to be held accountable, my responsibility is the greatest...... If it weren't for the fact that I underestimated the enemy and ignored the cunning of the opponent, our losses would definitely not be so great! ”

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a cunning Tartar general in the Houjin army, which is an eye-opener......"

"If my estimate is correct, the Tartars who just fought against us are the Tartars who wiped out our two remaining bases in a row and forced us to divide our troops......."

No matter how much the division commander regretted it at this moment, in the case of heavy casualties, a choice that made him had to make a decision was directly in front of him......

In the face of the Tartar iron cavalry that is staring at him with fierce eyes on him, the cavalry division with a strength of only a little more than 3,000 should go where should it go...... Should we retreat and end the hunt for the Tartar tribes, or should we destroy all the captures on the spot and continue the pursuit......

At this moment, a sentence from Sun Chengzong, the former commander of the army, suddenly came to his mind......

In the course of pursuit, regardless of the outcome of the battle, the first thing to ensure is the casualties of the cavalry division.

The division commander didn't know if this Tartar iron cavalry, which was watching him with fierce eyes, would play another conspiracy that he didn't know about in the next battle, so that the cavalry division, which had already lost troops and lost generals, would pay losses again......

Therefore, the commander of the cavalry division, whose face quickly recovered, immediately made a decision in his heart......

Immediately withdraw, with a large amount of supplies and cattle and sheep that had just been captured, to avoid this cunning Tartar cavalry...... R1152
