Chapter 299: Chopping melons and vegetables

The face of the traitor general who charged at the front immediately showed a complicated expression of incomprehension and surprise.

And at this moment, the next action of the five thousand ironclad cavalry directly turned the surprise on the general's face into worry.

The mighty traitor cavalry had just rushed out less than fifty paces, and the five thousand ironclad cavalrymen standing in a neat formation, as if they were a person, put away the sabers in their hands together, and then picked up the short-barreled flintlock muskets hanging on their horses.

After completing the reload very skillfully, the musket with both hands flat-ended, motionless aimed at himself....

Seeing the three rows of black hole barrels that appeared in front of him instantly, the general's first thought was: he must hide behind the military formation, otherwise, if the Haw Par Army comes over with a round of lead bullets, he will be the first to be beaten into a hornet's nest.

Subconsciously tightened the reins of the war horse, and slowly fell from the first row of the military formation to the middle.

The mighty cavalry happened to rush to a position of eighty paces directly in front of the five thousand ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

A burst of gunshots, like firecrackers, reached the general's ears as promised. Then, a scream and the neighing of war horses sounded dozens of paces ahead.

Looking ahead, the platoon of cavalry rushing to the front, like ripe wheat, fell all their brains on the way of the charge under the harvest of this round of buckshot.

Then, they were trampled into pulp by the cavalry who followed closely and had no time to dodge.

As for the war horses that were hit by lead bullets and fell to the ground with a bang, they invisibly became a stumbling block...

The cavalry that followed behind crashed into the corpse of the war horse before they could make any evasive moves. Together with the cavalry on horseback. Crashed to the ground. Become the second tripwire to block the cavalry behind you.

In front of this kind of traitor cavalry, who had not even been trained to evade at the very least, the first round of 1,500 lead bullets fired by the Tiger and Leopard Army directly took the lives of at least 300 cavalrymen.

Just as the heart-rending screams stopped, the second round of bean-like gunfire once again reached the ears of these traitor cavalrymen who had turned pale like a ghost.

Gunshots rang out, dense rain-like buckshots whizzed, and all sorts of screams rang out. The neighing of war horses ....... like a symphony of war, once again sounding on the battlefield...

When the third round of gunfire stretched out by the Tiger and Leopard Army passed, a huge gap had appeared in the dense traitor cavalry. At least a thousand cavalry had fallen on this section of the charge, which was no more than thirty paces long.

The rebel cavalry charged behind, although there was no way to see the charging formation, which was already missing a fifth. However, the ground that had been stained red with blood, and the thick smell of blood that had already spread in the air, all told them without exception, in the attack just now. The troops were definitely losing a lot.

Therefore, the three rounds of gunfire have not stopped. The faces of the remaining rebel cavalry showed expressions of horror from the heart. There is also a lot of despair for the future where the battle is already taking place.

However, the five thousand iron cavalry, who still showed no sign of launching a counterattack, obviously did not intend to deal with them by valiantly dealing with the Tartar cavalry.

Compared with the elite Tartar cavalry, as long as the distance between the two armies is shortened to fifty paces, the salvo that the Tartars are good at can bring a certain amount of damage to the Haw Par Army and prevent the Haw Par Army from continuing to shoot at them.

However, the traitor cavalry in front of him, not to mention being good at salvo fire, was not equipped with even the most basic horse bow.

In this case, as long as the traitor cavalry in front of him did not rush in front of him, he could use a method to consume their forces on the way to the charge as much as possible.

So, as soon as the first round of buckshot at the traitor flew out of the chamber, the fifteen hundred ironclad cavalrymen began to skillfully reload the short-barreled muskets in their hands and prepare to shoot again.

The three-stage shooting, which was already very familiar, had just ended, and the fifteen hundred ironclad cavalrymen in the first row had once again flattened their muskets, already loaded with lead bullets, and were ready to fire a new round of fire.

Then, under the watchful eyes of a pair of frightened eyes fifty paces away, a new round of steel storm composed of lead bullets swept towards them again.

Before the traitor who had rushed to the front could let out an exclamation, the whistling buckshot had already pierced his body.

After another three rounds of gunfire rang out, the traitor cavalry had already rushed to a distance of thirty paces from the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, the total strength of the traitors has been sharply reduced to less than 3,000 men.

More importantly, the expressions on the faces of the remaining traitors have changed from horror to despair.

If it weren't for the fact that some officers constantly wielded sabers in the middle of the military formation, threatening everyone with death. The remaining three thousand cavalry of the traitors, perhaps, had collapsed on the spot.

Because, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, they don't know that on the next charge, the Tiger and Leopard Army has any other means that they have not seen. Will he be like his comrades under the horse's hooves, directly trampled into a pile of meat paste, and there is not even a corpse.

These traitors were not mistaken, and in the face of the unheard-of tactics of the Haw Par Army, not only did they not hesitate, but they also lost the possibility of wanting to retreat.

Because, at this moment, they are only the last thirty steps away from the Tiger and Leopard Army. Even if he retreats now, the huge inertia brought about by the galloping of war horses has not had time to turn, and he has already crashed into the tiger and leopard army in a daze.

Not only that, but the first platoon of ironclad cavalry after releasing a new round of muskets, I don't know when, was already holding a grenade in one hand and a fire fold that was sparkling in the other, waiting for the bomb throwing order.

"The first regiment, throw grenades...... Throwing guns ready to ......"

More than a thousand grenades emitting white smoke, with a slight whistling sound, crossed the distance between the two armies, and fell like rain in the midst of the dense traitors.

With the sound of a deafening explosion, the seemingly tall and mighty cavalry, like paper paste, was directly blown apart.

Not only that, but some of the war horses that were frightened by the explosion had begun to be uncontrolled by the cavalry on their backs. It's like being blindfolded, bumping around regardless of a qiē.

However, instead of dodging the attack, the chaotic formation ushered in a second round of grenades thrown by the Haw Par Army... And even the third round of grenades ....

As the deafening explosion stopped, the battlefield completely enveloped in gunsmoke was already covered with a whole layer of war horses and the corpses of traitors. Not only that, all kinds of severed limbs and severed arms can be seen everywhere as if it were raining.

What's more, this series of blows, the death of more than a thousand traitors, happened in just a few seconds.

And a few seconds were simply not enough for the rebel follow-up troops, who were already full of despair behind them, to react.

As soon as the explosion stopped, the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry of the traitor, under the action of huge inertia, rushed into the smoke of gunpowder. Then, with lightning speed, he rushed out of the gunpowder smoke and appeared twenty steps away from the Tiger and Leopard Army.

At this time, the throwing spears thrown by the Haw Par Army appeared in front of the traitors like rain again.

When the rebels who were lucky enough to escape the first round of gun throwing, with a face full of despair, saw the tragic scene of the rain of guns roaring and easily penetrating the corpses of their comrades, they no longer had the courage to continue the charge.

Shouted with fear...

"Don't fight....I'm old and don't fight... They are not people, they are devils, devils who specialize in killing people..."

After the frightened screams, the traitors dropped their weapons and tried to flee for their lives.

However, the second round of gun throwing that came in the roar obviously did not intend to give them a chance to escape......

After three rounds of gunfire, there were less than a thousand remaining traitors on the battlefield.

And this traitor, who is less than a thousand people, has rushed to the front of the tiger and leopard army, but they have lost the courage to continue fighting. Therefore, at this time, even if the Haw Par Army stretched its neck in front of them, they did not have the courage to raise their sabers and slash at the Haw Par Army with their faces full of horror and despair.

Contrary to the traitors, after this series of strikes, whether they were veterans or recruits who had just joined the Haw Par Army, everyone's faces showed a heartfelt hot expression.

Looking at these traitors, not only did they not see the slightest fear, but they were filled with a trace of bloodlust and heat.

At this moment, the five thousand tiger and leopard army iron horses, and the five thousand wolves who asked about the smell of blood, all stared at a pair of red eyes without exception.

Under Zhao Yun's order, he raised his saber, kicked the war horse under his crotch, and screamed and rushed towards the traitor in front of him who was almost waiting to be slaughtered.

"Kill..."An earth-shattering shout of killing sounded on the battlefield, and the traitors of less than a thousand people, like chopping melons and vegetables, were cut off by the five thousand tiger and leopard army iron horsemen.

As for the traitors who were ordered to return to Baode County to report the news and escape from the battlefield by luck, under the pursuit of more than a thousand scouts, they were like prey hunted, without exception, all of them were killed...

At the end of the battle, the only surviving more than 100 rebels on the battlefield were quickly escorted to Wei Zheng.

At this moment, from these traitors, the ferocity of the slaughter of the common people can no longer be seen. As soon as he stopped in front of Wei Zheng, he knelt on the ground with his legs full of panic, crying grandpa and grandma to ask Wei for mercy, hoping that Wei Zheng could let them live.

However, what they are doing is clearly superfluous.

From the moment they raised their butcher's knives to the people and the people of Baode County, their fate must have been decided by Wei Zheng.

Looking at the more than a hundred traitors in front of him, Wei Zheng did not have the slightest pity in his eyes.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, have you forgotten the military order of Ben Shuai before the war....For these brutes, Ben Shuai doesn't want a single prisoner..."

"Take them all down and let those recruits see the blood..."

"In addition, let the soldiers quickly clean up the battlefield, cook all the horse meat on the battlefield, eat what should be eaten, sleep when they should sleep, and replenish all the body consumed in the battle for me...... Just tonight, there are new battles waiting for us ......" (to be continued......
