Chapter 63: The Surprise of the Haw Par Army (Collect!) )

More than a dozen screams rang out from the trench, and the follow-up Tartar cavalry finally discovered the surprise that Wei Zheng had left for him.

Frightened, they subconsciously tightened the reins, trying to stop the horses from jumping and avoiding the trap.

However, when the speed of the war horse is increased to the extreme, if they do not take off, there is only one result waiting for them.

Like a blindfolded mad cow, slammed into the earthen wall.

The horses were either dead or wounded, and they were blocked by the earthen wall and fell to the ground. The Tartar sitting on horseback was not so lucky, and under the action of strong inertia, the Tartar quickly broke away from the horse's back, like a cannonball that smashed into the ground at high speed, with a dull crashing sound, and smashed into a trench a few meters away.

Tartars are afraid of death, and war horses are equally afraid of death.

At the moment of life and death, under the effect of survival instinct, some war horses did not rationally carry out the rider's orders. In order to save their lives, they still jumped up from the ground in front of the earthen wall to meet the surprise that Wei Zheng had prepared for them.

"Three, three more Tartar cavalrymen jumped into the trench and never got up again......"

"Dog's day, this battle is so cool, it doesn't cost us a single soldier, and the Tartars actually took the initiative to come and send them to death......"

"Two more Tartars have jumped over the earthen wall...... Dog's day, these two Tartar cavalrymen were so cunning that they knew that falling into the trench with their horses was to send them to death, and they jumped off their horses...... However, just by virtue of this fall, if you don't kill them, you can also knock them out......" On the second line of defense, Wang Feng was like watching a play, and from time to time let out an exclamation full of excitement.

Zhou Shuyuan, the military advisor who retreated to the second line of defense with Wei Zheng, was not idle.

Seeing the first-line position that had just been abandoned a hundred paces away, the Tartars seemed to be lining up to die, and they were buried on the front line of the earthen wall one after another. Zhou Shuyuan looked at Wei Zheng's gaze, and there was already a trace of heartfelt admiration and admiration invisibly.

When he was excited, he couldn't care about his literati status, and shouted excitedly at Wei Zheng.

"General, this line of defense you have asked us to build is too powerful. The Tartar who rushed to the earthen wall, jumping over the earthen wall was death, and suddenly stopping turned out to be death....... such a battle was simply too cool......."

"Just now I saw with my own eyes that a few Tartar cavalry suddenly wanted to stop in front of the earthen wall because they were rushing too fast, and they directly collided with the war horses into the earthen wall......"

After seeing that the Tartar attacking forces had lost dozens of cavalry one after another, Wei Zheng finally spoke under the hot gaze of his two subordinates.

"Don't be too happy, although the position is well repaired, at most you can only kill the Tartar cavalry by surprise. Once they react, take precautions, and slow down the impact of the warhorse, no matter how good the trap is, it won't work......"

Zhou Shuyuan followed and shouted, "General, so many results are enough...... You don't know, in the blink of an eye, there were already more than forty Tartar cavalrymen who jumped into the trench and crashed into the earthen wall. ”

"You know, on the frontal battlefield where the officers and troops are engaged in battles with the Tartars. It was simply impossible for the officers and soldiers to destroy forty Tartar cavalry without paying the lives of more than 200 soldiers. ”

"And we, just one trench can be worth more than two hundred lives, and we have earned this deal no matter which way we count. You know, in the trench in front of us, we only pay some labor. ”

After seeing the three Tartar cavalry jumping into the barbed trench with a scream again, Wang Feng followed and shouted excitedly: "General, I saw three Tartar cavalry jumping into the trench again. Now, I simply throw myself to the ground for the five bodies that you admire...... When I first started digging trenches, I didn't believe that a trench could make such a big difference. Not only can we cover our own people, but we can also help us kill the Tartars without spending a single soldier. ”

"Now I finally believe ......"

"More than forty Tartars, just like that, in the blink of an eye, I couldn't believe my eyes. General, you're so powerful, you can think of such a good way......"

Wei Zheng smiled and answered, and then asked rhetorically at the two.

"Military, Battalion Commander Wang, the battle is here, and there are a maximum of one hundred and fifty cavalry in Tartar. And many Tartars have already reacted, slowing down Masu in front of the earthen wall, and our trenches are slowly losing their effectiveness. ”

"Don't you want to expand your victory, kill more Tartars, and take the opportunity to recapture the first line of defense occupied by the Tartars?"

"Yes, of course I want to ......," the two people with shocked faces quickly replied.

"If you want to, don't watch the play here, let me act immediately......" Wei Zheng ordered angrily.

"Now the Tartar cavalry is a hundred paces away from us, and the bows they are equipped with cannot help us. However, we are equipped with a new type of arquebus that can shoot lead bullets up to a hundred paces away. It's so good and cheap, we don't take it for nothing. ”

"Strategist, immediately organize the brothers of the 1st Musket Brigade to shoot at our first-line line of defense in three sections, shoot them as much as possible, so that the Tartar cavalry will not be stable on our defensive line, and force them to retreat."

Zhou Shuyuan rarely burst out with a foul language, and shouted excitedly: "Dog, I finally came across an opportunity to slaughter the Tartars." Please rest assured, general, that I will organize my brothers to do everything possible to kill and wound the living forces of the Tartars, and that they will have to refrain from retreating, and kill them for fear. ”

Seeing Wang Feng's expectant gaze quickly looking at him, Wei Zheng led the mind to continue to order: "Brother Wang, don't be idle...... Immediately organize the spear battalion to prepare for a counterattack. When the musket battalion carries out a fire counterattack, the Tartars will most likely retreat. As soon as they retreat, you immediately launch a counterattack from the trenches to the first line of defense with the pikemen battalion to recapture it. ”

......As soon as the order to Wang Feng was issued, the piercing arquebus shooting began to sound in the surrounding defense line.

On the front line of the earthen wall, the Tartar cavalry who were still holding the tiger and leopard army had already broken and fled, and they were bent on how to cross the trench in front of them, but they were caught off guard and were directly caught off guard by thirty buckshots.

saw the seven subordinates who were shot in the chest next to him and died in sight.

The alert Niu Lu Zhangjing subconsciously jumped off the war horse and squatted behind the earthen wall.

The remaining more than 100 cavalry behind him also did the same, quickly jumped off their horses, and hid behind the earthen wall.

At this moment, the second round of buckshot had already appeared in front of everyone. The three slow-reacting cavalrymen snorted again and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Niu Lu Zhangjing could no longer see the confidence on his face when he first attacked.

Clenched his fists and weapons in his hands, his face was also red from the continuous losses of the troops and the setbacks of the attack, like a powder keg that could explode at any time, full of crisis.
