Chapter 927: Don't Be Fooled

"Cavalry...... It's cavalry, and the Haw Par Army even has cavalry...... "Facing the cavalry of the Haw Par Army densely packed with sabers in front of him, the new army of the 1,000 imperial court, which was still high morale just now, immediately became panicked.

As veterans, they all knew that the distance between themselves and the cavalry of the Haw Par Army was more than fifty paces, which seemed to be a long distance. However, for a cavalry that charges quickly, it only takes the blink of an eye to rush in front of you.

And this blink of an eye is simply not enough to prepare yourself for a counterattack.

Of course, even if you have enough time to prepare yourself and fight back with a musket formation. With only 1,000 musketeers who were not equipped with artillery around them, they could not stop the more than 1,000 cavalry of the Haw Par Army from attacking.

Therefore, the moment they saw the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, they panicked...... And the first thought after panicking is to run for his life, if he doesn't turn around and flee now, he will definitely die under the saber of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

So, when more than a thousand cavalry of the cavalry regiment completely appeared in front of them. The thousand commanders and generals of the 1,000 new armies, as if they had been discussed, gave the order to retreat at the same time.

However, when the order was given, they seemed to forget...... The speed at which he fled for his life was no faster than the speed of the cavalry.

More than 1,000 panicked new imperial troops had just escaped less than thirty paces before more than 1,000 cavalrymen with sabers raised chased after them.

A burst of sword light flashed on the battlefield, and the new army running at the back didn't even have a chance to react, and was cut down to the ground by the saber.

Subsequently, more and more officers and men of the New Army died tragically under the swords of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In the face of sudden changes on the battlefield, in the face of the brothers who are close at hand and rushing towards the official road. Facing the cavalry of the Haw Par Army, which was closely following behind the new army.

The face of the commander-in-chief of the New Army, who has been paying attention to every move on the battlefield. directly revealed a gloomy expression.

Because. At a glance, he could see the true purpose of the Haw Par Army's cavalry......

Follow behind the rout and enter the official road...... After relying on the speed of cavalry to charge and kill the soldiers under his command to inflict heavy casualties, he quickly withdrew from the battlefield......

If the purpose of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army is truly achieved, the general army can be sure that under the continuous charging and killing of more than 1,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the officers and men under his command will lose at least 2,000 men.

And if you want to avoid the loss of so many soldiers under the sabers of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, there is only one way. Abandon the 1,000 soldiers of the New Army who are fleeing for their lives on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, the chief soldier of the new army with a gloomy face immediately made a decision and ordered loudly: "

"Order, the troops who stand in front of the rout will immediately give way to the official road and move to both sides...... We must not let the rout break up our formation, and let the cavalry of the Haw Par Army behind the rout pick up the ......"

Seeing that the new army of the 1,000 imperial court had collapsed before they could make contact with him, the commander of the cavalry regiment immediately thought of following behind the rout and killing the official. However, what the regiment commander did not expect was. The new army on the official road reacted so quickly and directly moved out of the way. Don't give yourself any chance.

Faced with this situation, the regiment commander could only vent his anger on the rout soldiers who were already close at hand.

After neatly destroying all the 1,000 defeated troops, more than 1,000 cavalry, who basically had no losses, directly passed through the passage just given up by the new army of the imperial court and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

Watching the battlefield disappear quickly like the wind, the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army saw the bloody and cruel battlefield on the official road, after being trampled by more than a thousand war horses.

The gloomy face of the general soldier knew that he not only underestimated the strength of his opponent, but also fell for the opponent's conspiracy. In the first match against the opponent, he lost without surprise.

However, he also has something to be thankful about.

Fortunately, he only sent 1,000 musketeers, and if he had sent 2,000 musketeers, the corpses that fell on the battlefield at this moment might be 2,000, not 1,000 now.

More importantly, through this defeat, I know the true strength of my opponent.

Thinking of this, the general soldier's face had a gloomy expression, and he was directly covered with seriousness.

After taking a deep breath, he decisively ordered: "General Chuanben ordered, from now on, ignore the artillery attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... The whole army huddled together and reinforced the battlefield in a rapid march......"

"Also, the purpose of this Haw Par cavalry must be to slow down our reinforcements on the battlefield Now, its plan has failed. If nothing else, they will definitely not give up, and if one is not good, it is possible to directly attack our main force......"

"Therefore, during the march, you must send more scouts...... In the event of a cavalry attack, the main forces immediately assemble and counterattack with a musket formation......"

"The Haw Par Army only has more than 1,000 cavalry, and no matter how capable they are, they can't fight our 9,000 elite ......."

With less than 100 casualties, the cavalry regiment successfully wiped out a thousand new troops of the imperial court.

Faced with this result, there was no smile on the face of the regiment commander.

Because, when the results of the battle were counted, the latest situation of the reinforcements of the new army was also sent to their own hands.

This is what worries me the most.

The rational commander of the new army was not provoked by himself, and sent heavy troops to destroy himself and avenge the thousand soldiers who died in battle. Instead, he chose the way he least wanted to see it, regardless of the casualties on the battlefield of reinforcements.

Seeing that the regiment commander had a gloomy face and didn't say a word for a long time, the regimental chief of staff could only speak: "Regiment commander, it's really not good, we can only have a hard fight with the imperial court reinforcements..."

"Under the cover of a dozen mortars, storm their forward troops...... As long as we rush into their formations and fight with them, there is still hope......"

Although the cavalry regiment was equipped with more than a dozen mortars, for the nine thousand imperial court new troops, the casualties that these more than ten mortars could cause to them could definitely be described as negligible.

In this case, if the cavalry regiment really wants to go head-to-head with the new army of the imperial court, it will directly attack their main force. That is to let more than 1,000 cavalry brothers of the cavalry regiment ram into the muzzle of thousands of muskets of the new army of the imperial court......

Even if the cavalry regiment could finally storm their formation, it would lose its combat effectiveness due to heavy losses......

When the time comes, the cavalry regiment will not only fail to complete its mission, but will also fall into a dangerous situation of total annihilation.

The battalion and company commanders gathered around the regiment commander were well aware of this fact.

Therefore, as soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, their faces became gloomy.

And at this moment, the head of the regiment, who had not spoken, finally spoke.

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes at the same time, he said with a firm face: "No, we still have a chance...... It's not time to ram the enemy's gun yet! (To be continued......)
