Chapter 861: Lore!
A thousand Tartars who are determined to die are the elite of the Yellow Banner, facing the Hawpan and Leopard Army that came in a hurry. The first reaction was to raise the musket, ready to use it to block the attack that could be launched at any moment.
At this time, some people may ask, after fighting for so long, the Tartars still don't know that the range of their muskets is not as good as that of the Haw Par Army, and they use muskets to shoot at the Haw Par Army, isn't that for nothing?
In fact, in the dense forest at your feet, no matter how far the musket is fired. In the face of the obstacles of the logs in front of you, the sign-in that flew out of the chamber of the gun was already very good, and it was already very good to be able to shoot fifty or sixty steps.
Therefore, when the Haw Par Army attacking force can shoot them with muskets, the muskets in the hands of the Tartars can also easily shoot the Haw Par Army attacking troops that are already close at hand with lead bullets.
Therefore, it was not at all expected that the Haw Par Army would also carry a large number of mortars in the course of the pursuit, although they were determined to die. However, there is a lot of confidence in the battle that is about to break out in front of him.
However, it backfired, just as they were raising their muskets, ready to meet the Hawpar Army attacking the troops for a while.
A series of screams that none of them had expected suddenly reached their ears from far and near.
Just when most of the Tartars hadn't reacted yet, and followed the direction of the sound, they subconsciously raised their heads, wanting to see what the sound was.
More than twenty flowers with a screeching sound have arrived above their heads.
Then, it smashed into them at a very fast speed, and exploded one after another.
At this point, someone has to react...... While quickly lying on the ground, he shouted in horror: "It's a flowering bomb." The Haw Par Army is armed with artillery. Shelling! Get down ......"
A cry of terror had just sounded in the middle of the musket array. The violent explosion of the flowering bomb that followed immediately drowned out these cries.
At the same time, the flying shrapnel from the explosion of the flowering bomb was like a death scythe, quickly cutting the Tartars around the impact point before they had time to react to the ground and turning them into corpses......
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty flowering shells caused almost 100 casualties to a thousand Tartars who were not prepared in the slightest.
Of course. And that's just the beginning.
As more and more Tartars began to react, they quickly dispersed to the surrounding area and hidden.
The second round of flowering bombs has already followed over their heads.
After the explosion of the flowering bomb whizzed down and smashed around them, dozens of Tartars were blown to the ground without incident.
In the face of the constant explosion of flowering bombs around him, the screams of his comrades-in-arms ...... The Tartars, who had been in chaos because of the attack, were even more chaotic at this moment.
Although when they stayed, they were ready to die in battle.
However, this death in battle did not even see the figure of the Haw Par Army, and was killed by the flowering bomb for no apparent reason.
In their eyes, fighting face-to-face with the Tiger and Leopard Army is even if they are killed by their opponents. They can also see how they died before they die. See who killed you.
So, if death is placed on the frontal battlefield. These tartars are not afraid at all.
And in front of him, not only can he not see his opponent, but he doesn't even know who he was killed. What's more, it is very likely that a blossom will shoot down and tear itself to pieces, leaving even a complete corpse behind......
Each of these reasons terrifies the Tartars who are being hit by artillery fire, especially the last one. What scared and scared them the most.
After all, they are all ancient people, and in their eyes, if they die, they can't even leave a complete corpse. That means that even if they die in battle, they will not have the opportunity to be reincarnated......
So, as more and more flowering shells landed in the middle of the Tartars and exploded, the panic of the Tartars became more and more intense.
After ten consecutive rounds of more than 200 flowering shells exploded one after another, the location of the 1,000 Tartars was already shrouded in a thick layer of gunsmoke. As for the smoke, no matter how you look for it, you will never find a standing Tartar again.
Of course, this does not mean that all the Tartars have been killed by flowering shells......
The dense forest not only greatly reduces the effective striking distance of the musket, but also greatly reduces the power of the flowering bullet.
Although the flying fragments produced by the explosion of flowering shells are terrifying, many of the fragments of flowering shells are blocked by the ubiquitous logs. And the Tartar, who hid behind the log, escaped the deadliest blow.
Therefore, in front of this battlefield completely covered in gunsmoke, there are at least five hundred Tartars still alive.
However, under the blow of the constantly exploding flowering bombs, they had to lie on the ground or hide behind logs...... Motionless, waiting for the end of the artillery fire.
However, their wish is destined to be unfulfilled in front of the elite Haw Par Army.
The remnants of the Tartar were completely enveloped in gunsmoke, and they were crushed by flowering bullets, and there was no way to move at all.
The guard battalion of high-end muskets counted the white muskets manually.
The white musketeers did not make any sound other than the slight footsteps under their feet.
It's like a ghost, little by little approaching the battlefield where explosions are still happening.
Fifty steps...... Heavy artillery fire continues.
Forty steps...... The flowering bullets that kept passing over everyone's heads with a screeching sound also had no intention of stopping.
Thirty steps...... The Haw Par Army, armed with muskets, was about to enter the range of accidental damage from the flowering bullet. The violent explosion was finally heard.
However, the cessation of artillery fire, for hundreds of musketeers, the battle that belonged to them, had just begun.
Taking advantage of the fact that the artillery fire had ceased and the Tartars had not yet reacted, the guard battalion advanced again seven or eight paces.
At this moment, if it were not for the cover of the thick gunsmoke around him, the soldiers of the guard battalion with muskets could already clearly see the face of the Tartar.
Of course, on the battlefield where time is of the essence, the guard battalion does not intend to give the Tartars a chance to see themselves clearly.
The musketeers of the two companies, continuing to hold their muskets, aimed steadily ahead, ready to shoot the tartars that might emerge.
The other musketeers, quickly lowering their muskets, lit the grenades, and threw them hard, ready to use the grenades to deal a devastating blow to the Tartars who had been hit by the artillery fire, and completely destroy them......
The purpose of the division commander Wang Bo is very simple, that is, to use the firepower advantage that the Tartars do not have, to give the Tartars an unprecedented firepower feast. Directly through an attack, give the Tartars an unprecedented lore, and solve them in one go.
No, less than two hundred musketeers, five grenades per person, all of them were thrown, and then it ended. (To be continued......)
