After repelling the second attack of the Tartars, the total strength of the 2nd Division and 1st Regiment was directly reduced to 1,400 men.

Suffice it to say, the situation on the battlefield has become worse and worse for the Haw Par Army.

At this time, if there is no good way to change the situation of the battle, with the existing strength of the second division and one regiment, at most one more attack by the Tartars will be repulsed.

Just when the head of the regiment with a solemn face frowned, thinking about a possible solution.

The commander of the heavy mortar battalion directly under the regiment suddenly opened his mouth and complained.

"The dog's day is so cunning that it will take it as soon as it comes up

Collar all the hills. With their height advantage, their redcoat cannons can hit wherever they want...... If I could also occupy a mountain, with more than 20 heavy mortars in my hand, I would definitely not be pressed and beaten so aggrievedly......"

The other complaints of the commander of the heavy mortar battalion, the regiment commander did not listen to a word.

However, the head of the regiment heard the phrase occupying a mountain clearly. Not only that, but his words have a feeling that makes the head of the regiment shine.

Although no concrete solution has been thought of yet. However, the appearance of this feeling is still very exciting for the head of the regiment who is at a loss and frowning.

After some contemplation, he immediately shifted his gaze to the commander of the heavy mortar battalion who had not fired a single flowering shell with an aggrieved face until now. And asked expectantly.

"Battalion Commander Li, the biggest reason why this battle was fought so hard was because of the more than a hundred red-coated cannons that the Tartars erected on the hills around us...... If we abandon here and occupy a hill, these redcoat cannons on the top of the hill. Can it still threaten us...... As long as there are no of these redcoat cannons. Tartars come again and more. I'm not afraid ......."

What made the regiment commander feel incomprehensible was that Battalion Commander Li, who was standing in front of him, nodded to himself first, and then shook his head to himself. Directly gave himself an ambiguous answer.

Just when the regiment commander was about to continue asking questions with doubts, Battalion Commander Li finally spoke: "These red-coated cannons can still threaten us...... As long as the Tartars carry these redcoat cannons to the foot of the mountain, the Tartars can still shoot flowering catapults at the top of the mountain.

A pair of eyes were fixed on the regimental commander of his subordinates, and his face was still full of expectation just now, at this moment. It turned white directly.

Because, the answer of Battalion Commander Li of the artillery battalion directly cut off the thoughts that had just sprung up in his mind.

However, at this moment, Battalion Commander Li's voice reached the ears of the regiment commander again...... "However, regiment commander, don't worry...... After we occupy the hills, the cardinal artillery of the Tartars can hit us, and the heavy mortars we are equipped with can also hit them. Even if the range of the redcoat cannon is much higher than that of the heavy mortar......"

Seeing the hope rekindled on the regiment commander's desperate and pale face, Battalion Commander Li hurriedly explained: "Team battle. Once we have captured the hills, we can strike at the enemy from a high position...... With the advantage in altitude, we are armed with heavy mortars that can fight at least two or three hundred steps longer than usual. ”

"The red-coated cannons equipped by the Tartars shoot from low to high places, and it is not surprising that their range will be two or three hundred steps less because of the difference in altitude."

"In this way, the heavy mortars we are equipped with will surpass the red-coated cannons equipped by the Tartars in terms of range because of the terrain advantages, and they can also press the red-coated cannons of the Tartars to fight ......"

After receiving the affirmation and explanation from the commander of the artillery battalion, Battalion Commander Li, the regiment commander directly showed an unprecedented firm smile on his face.

Facing the subordinates gathered around him, he decisively ordered: "In this case, we will find a way to fight out and occupy a mountain......

"People would think that my decision was too whimsical, but I would say that this is the best option for us right now."

"As we all know, our Haw Par Army is good at attacking, and only in the offensive can we give full play to our combat effectiveness. And a few other reasons why I made this decision......"

"Battalion Commander Li, from now on, all the artillery of the whole regiment will be under your command! You must command the artillery, cover the musketeers to block the next attack of the Tartars, and cover the musketeers to launch a counterattack on the Tartars, taking advantage of the situation to capture a hill......"

"After completing the task, you will have a task, find a way to knock out the Tartar's red-coated cannon......" "The others, I will personally command, in the next round of Tartar attacks, find an opportunity to launch a counteroffensive against the Tartars......" "Logistics Baggage Company, immediately collect all the war horses that can be used...... When the time comes to counterattack and occupy the hills, I will use these horses to charge into battle and reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible...... After all, none of us knows when the reinforcements sent by the army commander will come over......"

When the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers of the second division and the first regiment began to make careful preparations.

Now on a hill, Ao Bai, who is carefully observing the battlefield, is also thinking about his third attack.

Originally, I thought that under such a fierce artillery fire, two attacks would definitely destroy this tiger and leopard army.

However, what Ao Bai didn't expect was that two rounds of artillery strikes on the Tiger and Leopard Army in a row failed to cause too many casualties to the Tiger and Leopard Army, which made Ao Bai a little puzzled.

However, Ao Bai is not a good person at admitting defeat, and if he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to, and finds a solution from other directions.

In this way, a bold idea came directly to Ao Bai's mind......

No matter how the Haw Par Army dodged the shelling of the red-coated artillery, and opened fire while they were fighting, even if the Haw Par Army had the best way, at that time, there was no way to use it.

As for some of the concerns raised by his subordinates, artillery strikes during any attack may injure the attacking troops by mistake.

Ao Bai didn't pay attention to it at all.

For Ao Bai, it is much more cost-effective to be able to destroy all the remaining Haw Par Army by accidentally injuring 500 of his own people than to be repulsed by the Haw Par Army again and lose more than 2,000 people.

Therefore, when Ao Bai expressed his thoughts and analysis, several of his subordinates agreed after only a short period of contemplation.

As a result, a new conspiracy and attack against the Haw Par Army slowly unfolded under the organization of Ao Bai.

What neither the enemy nor the enemy expected was that at this moment, their thoughts of calculating each other actually collided again.

In this mutual calculation, whoever starts the calculation first will gain the initiative on the entire battlefield.

Soon, a new round of offensive of the Tartars began.

In order to paralyze the Haw Par Army, do not give the Haw Par Army any vigilance.

The Tartars, as soon as they came up, gave the Haw Par Army a very dense round of artillery fire. (To be continued......)
