Chapter 691: Heavy losses
When the military order was issued, the Haw Par Army, which had less than 4,000 people, was like taking a stimulant.
After skillfully attaching the musket in his hand, he carried a shield in one hand and a musket in the other, and continued to advance towards the mountain!
Maybe the Tartars, hidden behind the earthen wall, were really blown up by the grenades.
The attacking force, which numbered nearly 4,000 men, did not encounter any attack, and rushed to the earthen wall with great ease.
Several grenades were tied together, and a small explosive package was formed.
As one explosion after another sounded in the earthen wall, the earthen wall with a height of more than five feet was directly blasted out of dozens of gaps.
Thousands of tigers and leopards, without the slightest hesitation, directly crossed the earthen wall and rushed towards the hill that had fallen into chaos.
Soon, thousands of soldiers of the cavalry division all crossed the earthen wall and disappeared in front of the division commander......
At this time, in the eyes of everyone, victory already belonged to the Haw Par Army.
After losing thousands of young men who died in the grenade explosion. There are more than 10,000 old and weak people left in the two tribes, and even if there are many people, they cannot be the elite opponents of the cavalry division.
However, just as they poured into the hill full of tents in a platoon, an accident happened.
A series of cold arrows emitting a cold light, without all the Haw Par troops noticing, quickly flew out of the tent and pierced into the chest of a Haw Par Army soldier.
The comrades-in-arms who walked beside him, although they reacted at the first moment, held up the muskets with bayonets on them, and rushed into the tent that had just been shot out of the surveillance.
However, in this short time, a new arrow has been re-attached to the bowstring by the Tartar.
The Tiger and Leopard Army, which was at the forefront, had just appeared in front of the Tartars, and the sharp arrows came out of the string. Flying towards him at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then. Easily thrust into her chest.
Face this situation. The remnants of the Haw Par Army were immediately replaced by anger......
Regardless of whether there were other people in the tent, he directly raised the musket and pulled the board machine against the tent.
Shots rang out, and ten buckshot bullets flew into the tent very easily.
Coincidentally, exactly two lead bullets were fired into the Tartar's body, allowing the Tartar who was just about to shoot the third watchdog. With a face full of unwillingness, he fell heavily to the ground.
Of course, along with this Tartar fell to the ground, there were also three Tartars who were in charge of covering......
The casualties of the two comrades-in-arms made the squad leader very angry. However, the squad leader did not lose his mind......
After glancing at the remaining nine subordinates around him, the squad leader resolutely opened his mouth and ordered.
"Listen to me, from now on, no matter what tent you encounter, there is no danger. Shoot me a round of lead bullets first...... I want to strangle all dangers against us in the cradle...... I don't want to see any more brothers among us lose their lives......"
Timely adjustment of the squad leader. Although he avoided several sneak attacks, he also killed several Tartars.
However, as they continued to go deeper, the Tartars hidden in the tents also began to adjust.
In addition to the cold arrow sneak attack, they began to take the initiative.
With their formidable melee fighting abilities, fight with the Haw Par Army and eliminate as many of them as possible......
As a result, all kinds of small-scale battles began to unfold within the tribe.
Because everyone was scattered and engaged in a steady stream of small-scale fighting, it did not make everyone realize that in a short period of time, they had unknowingly paid a heavy number of casualties of thousands of people......
And until this moment, the continuous sound of gunfire on the hill made the cavalry division commander feel a little bad.
"Could it be that there are still Tartars on the hill to resist...... Why haven't the gunshots and grenade explosions stopped...... "The division commander frowned, and asked loudly to his subordinates who were also puzzled......
And just when everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.
A herald, with a face full of panic and anxiety, rushed from the top of the hill to everyone's location.
The first herald had just appeared, and the second, as for the third, followed closely behind and appeared in everyone's field of vision.
What made the division commander both nervous and relieved was that these heralds brought the news that Shantou needed the most.
Although he learned about the latest battle situation on the mountain, it was this battle situation that directly made the division commander realize that the battle in front of him was a conspiracy against his cavalry division.
So, the division commander made a decision without thinking about it......
"The order is given to all attacking troops to retreat at once...... Withdrawal from the battlefield...... Our forces are limited, and we must not fight with the Tartars to consume ......."
After the withdrawal of four thousand attacking troops of the cavalry division, slightly wolf bèi, after withdrawing from the battlefield.
Just now, the battlefield was full of gunshots and explosions, but at this moment, it became quiet.
At this moment, the division commander was holding a meeting with a solemn face in the middle of the attacking troops, which had lost a full third of their strength.
Although it was already clear that the sudden battle in front of him was most likely a conspiracy of the Tartars against the cavalry division. However, the loss of almost one regiment in the blink of an eye still made the division commander feel heartache.
Of course, while his heart is as painful as a knife, he is also full of hatred for the mountain tiger and leopard army.
I secretly swore in my heart that I must destroy the mountaintop Tartars and avenge the soldiers of the Tiger and Par Army who died in battle.
After learning from the attacking troops about the specific battle after everyone entered the tribe, the division commander immediately understood the specific purpose of this conspiracy set up by the Tartars......
Tong guò close fighting, Tong guò superiority in troops, a large number of consumption of the limited strength of the cavalry division......
Thinking of this, the division commander couldn't help but be afraid for a while......
If he hadn't given the order to retreat in a very timely manner, with the tactical tactics of the Tartars, it was very likely that the 4,000 attacking troops he sent would have been eaten up completely, and there would not even be any scum left......
"Cunning Tartar...... I really didn't expect that the Tartar generals who fought against us this time would be so powerful...... First of all, they attacked our remaining base and ate thousands of our elite ......"
"Now there is another plot of this kind, to eat my three cavalry battalions in the blink of an eye...... It just doesn't make sense...... If I don't take revenge, I, the division commander, will die, and I won't have the face to face those brothers who died in battle......"
The words of the division commander, there is no doubt, directly aroused everyone's hatred for the mountain tartars.
As soon as the division commander finished speaking, a regiment commander shouted: "Yes, revenge, revenge must be avenged...... This revenge is not revenge...... Commander, you say, how should we fight ......"
Facing the eager subordinates around him, although the division commander's heart was also filled with the idea of revenge.
However, it has not lost its mind because of these instigations...... Instead, under the simultaneous gaze of several pairs of eyes, he fell into deep thought......
However, the division commander didn't let everyone wait too long, a pair of tightly closed eyes opened, and two rays of sharp light shot out...... (To be continued......) R1292
