Overhead, there are flowering bullets that keep falling, and in front of you are a dense number of buckshot bullets that are constantly flying towards you......

In the face of the ubiquitous attacks on the battlefield, the Tartar Iron Cavalry once again suffered losses of thousands in a short period of time.

More importantly, under the shroud of this breath of death, their morale and combat courage have slowly dissipated invisibly. Before the war, the facial expressions were still full of scorching heat, but at this moment, they were covered with gloom and panic......

Facing the Haw Par Armies and Musket Formation, which still had seventy or eighty steps away, and facing the battlefield full of all kinds of killing opportunities in front of him, I don't know how many lives will be filled in. So far, the Tartars, who are still alive and lucky enough to escape one attack after another, begin to hesitate......

Because, according to the combat style of the Houjin army, their bravery and death on the battlefield not only cannot bring any return to their families, but will also make their families become vassals of other Houjin warriors.

Under such circumstances, the reason why the Tartars were so brave on the battlefield was because they fought with the wind and won battles...... In these battles, the chances of their death are very small.

Not only that, but after winning the battle, they can also loot their own spoils on the battlefield to increase their income for their families in the rear.

So in the face of this battle, where the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, I haven't seen the slightest hope of victory, and even I could die at any time. These Tartars, who are accustomed to winning battles, immediately have thoughts of fear and fear......

They want to live, to leave the battlefield alive, to return home alive......

However, if this offensive continues, this desire to live. It will become a dream that will never be realized......

In this case. Loss of morale and fighting courage. And they began to develop a fear of attack. Before you know it, you slow down your charge and pray that the oncoming buckshot will not patronize you.

What's more, some Tartar cavalry had begun to deliberately slow down their horses, blending in with the cavalry, ready to retreat at any time.

The generals of all levels of the Tartars, who were scattered among the cavalry, were very aware of the changes in the morale of the iron cavalry under their command.

However, there is nothing they can do.

Because. In the Later Jin army, the iron cavalry under their command was their private property at a certain distance.

In other words, the greater the losses of the officers under his command, the greater their losses. After the battle, if his losses are too great, his Niu Lu will be merged with other Niu Lu like the families of the fallen soldiers under his command......

So. As for the reaction of the soldiers under his command, these generals not only did not stop it. On the contrary, he also gave a default attitude.

It's just that, because the troops have not yet received the order to retreat, they have to insist on continuing the attack. Otherwise, these are the leaders of the local tribes and the generals in the army, and they would have led the soldiers under their command to withdraw from the battlefield long ago.

The main position of the Houjin Army has already regarded this attack as the commander of the Houjin Army who is gambling. Although his face was gloomy, it was so red that it seemed to drip blood. However, this conceited commander of the Houjin army still did not intend to give the order to retreat.

In the midst of this hesitation and stalemate, the demoralized Houjin Iron Cavalry finally rushed to a position forty paces away from the Haw Par Army musket formation.

From seventy or eighty paces to forty paces, although there is only less than forty paces of charging distance. However, the mighty Tartar cavalry, because of their hesitation and slowing down their horses, once again paid the loss of almost a thousand men.

In the face of the loss of more than half of the troops, all the Houjin cavalry involved in the offensive were on the verge of collapse.

It is safe to say that these Houjin cavalry, as long as they suffer another fatal blow, will directly collapse on the battlefield.

On the contrary, it was the commander of the Later Jin Army on the main position of the Later Jin Army.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command had rushed to the front of the Haw Par Armies musket array, the facial expressions that were still gloomy just now were directly replaced by smiles.

Facing his subordinates, he said excitedly: "There are only more than thirty steps left...... Tell the warriors to keep rushing forward. As long as we rush to the position of the Haw Par Army, the final victory will be our ......"

At this moment, in the face of the commander's shouting, everyone's face showed a heartfelt smile.

In their eyes, as long as the attacking troops can hold out for the last bit of time, victory will come to them.

Just as all of their tense hearts slowly relaxed. A sudden change on the battlefield directly regained the solemn and shocked expression on their faces.

They had never seen a grenade, and before they could react, the sound of dense explosions reached their ears.

What's more, less than thirty paces away from the Haw Par Musketeers, a wall of black smoke rose from the ground directly at the moment when the explosion sounded.

On the battlefield where the guns roared, as long as the iron cavalry under his command crashed into this smoke wall, without exception, all of them fell to the ground with a bang.

The explosion of the first round of grenades was not over, while the flying grenades were still flying around in the middle of the smoke wall. The second round of grenades has already flown over.

After the dense explosion sounded again, the smoke and grenade fragments produced by the explosion further strengthened the intensity and lethality of the smoke wall...... Let this wall of smoke completely become a wall of life and death that buries the Tartar Iron Horse......

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Tartar cavalry were killed in front of this smoke wall.

Facing the corpse wall composed of hundreds of Tartar corpses in front of him, facing the wall of smoke in front of him that was full of murderous intent and could not be crossed at all. These Tartars, who were already on the verge of collapse, no longer had the idea of holding on.

Ignoring the roars of the generals at all levels around him, he directly turned his horse's head, intending to bypass the smoke wall in front of him and retreat.

With the first Tartar cavalry to take the lead in escaping, the other Tartar cavalry who also collapsed on the battlefield and lost the courage to fight. Instigated by the idea of living, he directly followed the example and rushed to flee for his life.

The main position of the Houjin Army faced a series of sudden changes on the battlefield. The expression on the commander's face has changed from shock to incredible. Yes, it's incredible......

The incredibleness of the combat effectiveness of his opponent Haw Par Army, and the incredible retreat of his soldiers on the battlefield......

"Defeated...... Unexpectedly defeated...... The invincible Houjin warriors did not even touch the blade of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and they were defeated by themselves...... Is the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army too strong, or is the combat effectiveness of the Houjin warriors too weak......" Facing the outcome of the rout of the battlefield of the soldiers under his command, the commander of the Houjin Army, like an angry lion, roared loudly.

At this time, a deputy general standing next to him really couldn't look down on it.

After the roar of the commander of the rear army was finished, the lieutenant general directly said: "Lord Wang, the combat effectiveness of the warriors has not been weakened. It's just that in this attack, the losses paid by the Warriors are simply too great."

"In the previous battles with the Ming border army, the warriors could rush into the opponent's position after paying a maximum loss of 10% of the total strength. However, in the battle just now, the losses paid by the warriors have reached sixty percent of the total strength. After paying such a large loss, it has not yet rushed into the opponent's position, and no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, there is no way for the army to continue fighting."

Under the reminder of the adjutant general, the main general of the rear army, who had been paying attention to the attack speed of the soldiers under his command, finally shifted his attention to his subordinates who had already begun to carry out the rout

Under the frantic blows of the muskets and artillery of the Haw Par Army, like a lost dog, the warriors under their command who carried out a crazy rout were no longer enough to be as good as before the battle. What's more, under the blows of the Haw Par Army's muskets and artillery, these defeated warriors are still falling to the ground and turning into corpses

Not only that, the thousands of Tiger and Par Army Iron Horsemen who had been protecting the two wings of the Haw Par Army Musketeers were like wolves smelling blood, roaring and rushing towards the warriors under their command who were retreating

"It's not good, the Tiger and Leopard Army wants to completely annihilate the warriors we are retreating" The commander of the rear army, whose face was constantly changing, directly let out an exclamation in the face of the ever-changing battlefield in front of him.

Then, facing the deputy general who was also stunned beside him, he ordered loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, immediately dispatch 6,000 iron cavalry to attack, block the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army, and rescue the retreating warriors."

"Yes, Lord Wang" The lieutenant who got the order quickly replied.

Soon, six thousand Tartar horsemen rushed to the battlefield with the sound of roaring horses' hooves.

Facing the Tartar Iron Cavalry that is like an unsheathed sword, plunged into the battlefield. Wei Zheng knew that in a close-range battle, the field cavalry division under his command had absolutely no chance of victory after colliding with the same number of Tartar cavalry.

In such a situation, retreat is the only way to save the cavalry division under his command.

As a result, Wei Zheng had to reluctantly abandon the Tartar cavalry, which was in the process of fleeing, and ordered the cavalry division to retreat.

However, Wei Zheng is not the kind of person who suffers.

After looking at the artillery positions that were still roaring behind him, he ordered loudly: "Heavy artillery regiment, two heavy artillery battalions, concentrate all artillery, shell the iron cavalry that the Tartars have just rushed out." No matter what, be on the battlefield and leave some Tartars. ”

"Mortar companies, don't save shells for Ben Shuai. Facing the retreating troops of the Tartars, continue to bombard me, and kill as many as you can. In a word, they can't be safely withdrawn from their positions."

Hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers and models, under the control of their respective gunners, once again brought the artillery fire cluster fire to the extreme on the battlefield.

The dense flowering shells, as if it were raining, exploded in pursuit of the Tartar cavalry, sweeping the Tartar cavalry in patches down the retreat path.

Soon, on the way of retreat, the Tartar cavalry left corpses along the way.

As for the six thousand iron horsemen that the Tartars had just touched, although they only made a circle on the battlefield, they retreated like a wind.

But in this short circle, dozens of cannons were also on the battlefield, leaving hundreds of corpses. (To be continued......)
