Chapter 643: Begin to close the net

On the battlefield, the courage of soldiers is a factor that determines victory or defeat. However, the quality of the weapon, especially in close-quarters combat, is also a very important factor......

The body of the musket, which was almost five feet long, plus the bayonet one and a half feet long, was more than six feet.

And the saber in the Tartar's hand is no more than three feet at most.

More than a hundred remnants of the Tartar army, although they were very brave, and they did not want to die.

However, under the attack of the Haw Par muskets plus bayonets. They were so brave that they had not yet approached the Haw Par Army, and the long bayonets of the Haw Par Army had easily pierced their chests, making them instantly incapacitated.

So this sudden scuffle didn't last long, and it ended in a complete victory for the Haw Par Army.

A thousand Tartar cavalry, in addition to being scattered around the guard, are now on the scout of being pursued by the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army. The remaining more than 900 people, without exception, all became the ghosts of the Haw Par Army......

Soon, the deputy head of the regiment, who counted the results, found the regiment commander and reported with excitement on his face......

"Commander, it's an accident, it's a surprise...... These Tartars that we wiped out turned out to be the most elite Zhenghuang Banner of the Later Jin. Not to mention one person and two horses, each Tartar wears at least one layer of iron armor...... It's a lot of money......"

The regiment leader's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously said with emotion: "Zhenghuang Flag...... No wonder these Tartars are so well equipped, it turned out to be the Imperial Forest Army of the Later Golden Emperor Taiji. Now it seems that luck has come, and it can't be stopped...... Tell me about the results......"

"Yes, Commander......" the deputy commander commanded.

"Judging from the current statistics, we have captured a total of 1,896 war horses. Two thousand horses...... No surprises. These horses are used by the Tartars to transport these equipment and supplies......"

"Except for the big head of the war horse. And the Iron Armor 1576 ...... that we can use."

"As for the last harvest, it is the purpose of our trip, the silver that the Tartars trade...... After counting, we found a total of 850,000 taels of silver in the Tartar barracks......"

The cavalry regiment took the harvest from another city pass dozens of miles away, and finally returned to the pass.

The lieutenant colonel, who had let the caravan out of the customs, once again stomped his steps in the small headquarters.

Because, it has been a day and a night for the caravan to leave the customs. According to the original agreement, now is the time for the caravan to enter the customs.

However, in the vast grassland outside the pass, not to mention the caravan, not even a shadow of a person can be seen.

"Could it be that the caravan is in trouble outside the customs......" This was the first thought in the mind of the lieutenant colonel.

However, as soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by himself.

After all, outside the gate is the territory of the Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Tartars are not stupid enough to ignore the future of the Houjin and eat black on the caravan...... In this case. The reason why the caravan has not yet returned can only be attributed to the postponement of the transaction.

Right here. The sound of very hurried footsteps suddenly reached the ears of the regiment commander.

You don't need to look at it to know that it is a henchman battalion commander under him who is here.

Therefore, the head of the regiment, who looked anxious, asked without thinking about it: "Old Zhou, is the caravan that left the customs back......?"

The battalion commander, who hurriedly walked in front of the regiment commander, quickly replied: "Not yet...... Regiment commander, it's the division headquarters who has arrived, and an important order has been announced......"

"Division headquarters ......" The regiment commander frowned, and subconsciously let out an exclamation.

At the same time, the facial expression that was anxious just now had turned pale at this moment.

Then, in his trembling voice, he asked his subordinates: "Old Zhou, what are the people from the division doing now?" Is it something we do that is exposed...... The division headquarters sent someone to arrest us......"

Battalion Commander Zhou shook his head and replied, "It shouldn't be, it's just a lieutenant colonel...... And with only one platoon of musketeers......"

Hearing this, the head of the regiment's pale face finally recovered......

Then, he hurriedly opened his mouth and ordered......

"You send people to the city gate immediately, and if the caravan comes back, hide them immediately, and definitely not let the people in the division know about it...... The soldiers will cover the water and the earth, and so many winds and waves have come, I don't believe that I will be carried on this matter. I'll go see the commander from the division headquarters right away and see what the hell is going on......"

The regiment commander, who was thinking about his thoughts with anxiety on his face, had just walked out of the regiment headquarters when he collided with the lieutenant colonel officer who came down from the division headquarters.

Just when the head of the regiment quickly piled up a smile on his face, ready to speak.

Several soldiers of the Tiger and Par Army, who followed closely behind the lieutenant colonel officer in front of him, were like leopards ready to attack, and quickly rushed towards him.

Before the regimental commander could react, the four Haw Par troops had already surrounded him.

Not only that, but two short-barreled muskets that only the officers of the Haw Par Army were equipped with, as if by magic, appeared in the hands of the two Haw Par Army officers behind them. And the muzzles of these two muskets, without exception, were all against their backs......

Faced with this situation, the forehead of the regiment commander subconsciously flowed with beads of sweat.

He knew that it must have been exposed that he had helped others smuggle, otherwise, as an officer, no matter how big a mistake he made, he would not have been treated like this.

Artillery, the regimental commander with a cold sweat on his face had just been charged, and the lieutenant colonel standing in front of him took out an order and read it......

"The lieutenant colonel of the garrison regiment violated military orders and assisted others in smuggling supplies and equipment to the Tartars...... According to the decision of the General Staff, all military posts were dismissed and escorted to the capital for review...... The commander of the garrison regiment is temporarily replaced by the chief of staff......"

After the order was read, the regimental commander slowly reacted from the shock and slowly regained his composure......

Then, looking at the lieutenant colonel in front of him, he retorted with an incredible face: "Impossible, even if it is an order from the General Staff, it is impossible to come so quickly...... I just let the caravan out of the customs yesterday, and I was arrested today...... It is absolutely impossible to be an order of the General Staff...... Even if it had wings, it would not have been possible for this order to run a meeting on a day and a night for hundreds of miles......"

The lieutenant colonel replied with a sneer: "If you don't want people to know, unless you are the last ...... Do you really think that what you are doing can be hidden...... To tell you the truth, this order was written two days ago. As soon as I receive the arrest order, I will come directly to the regiment headquarters and want to read the order to you and take you down......"

"How could it be impossible...... Hearing this, the head of the regiment immediately showed an incredible expression on his face, and continued to ask rhetorically.

"You must be lying to me, how can the staff not know the prophet, you must be really lying......"

At this time, the lieutenant colonel officer standing in front of the regiment commander no longer had the heart to continue arguing on this issue.

Looking at the more and more soldiers of the garrison gathered around him, he resolutely opened his mouth and ordered......

"What are you doing, take people out immediately...... Chief of Staff, what about your Chief of Staff, come over right and I have an order to announce ......" (to be continued...... R527
