Chapter 820: Trap
The roaring sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder on the battlefield.
At this moment, even if there is the sound of the biting cold wind to cover it, the sound of horses' hooves can easily be transmitted to this moment, and there is still no slightest notice, a quiet tiger and leopard army camp.
Ao Bai, who rushed in the middle of the cavalry, except for the other cavalry, flapped his horse and charged forward, brandishing his saber at the same time, and constantly let out a howling ghost cry from his mouth.
As the leader of this sneak attack battle, Ao Bai also has a task, that is, to adjust the deployment at any time according to the situation on the ground.
Therefore, Ao Bai in the charge, a pair of eyes never left the Tiger and Leopard Army camp that was getting closer and closer to him.
When Ao Bai saw that the campsite, which was still unusually quiet just now, fell into chaos directly because of the sound of the hooves of war horses. As if frightened, the Haw Par Musketeers rushed out of the tent and scurried back and forth between the tents......
Faced with this situation, Ao Bai was even more sure of the speculation in his heart......
The Haw Par Army, located in the camp, was unprepared in the face of their own sneak attack...... Otherwise, it would never have behaved so badly......
After a sneer quickly flashed at the corner of his mouth, Ao Bai's whole person shouted as if he had been stimulated: "Warriors, the Han people have no preparation, charge up, kill them, and rob them of all their equipment and food...... Kill ......"
After finishing it, Ao Bai directly gave up his attention to the Haw Par Army camp and began to concentrate on the charge.
However, just as Ao Bai's gaze slowly left the Haw Par Army camp. He didn't see that the campsite was still a mess, and it only continued to blink an eye. Just restore the order......
One by one, the musketeers quickly lined up in the open space of the camp and began to reload the muskets in their hands, preparing to meet the sneak attack troops commanded by Ao Bai himself.
As a veteran of the battlefield, Ao Bai, who had already decided that he would win this sneak attack, ignored a very important issue when observing the camp of the Haw Par Army.
Measure a unit is the elite. Whether or not the troops are prepared for a sneak attack does not depend on whether the unit is in chaos when faced with a sneak attack...... Under the cover of night. No matter how elite an army is, in the face of a sudden attack, it will fall into a brief chaos.
The most critical thing to distinguish between elite and non-elite is to see how long the chaos lasts.
Elite troops. It only takes a short time. This chaos can be stopped.
It is not possible for the non-elite troops, perhaps until the enemy rushes in front of them, or even if the battle ends directly, to stop this chaos.
In a short period of time, the Haw Par Army, which had stopped the chaos and began to prepare for the sneak attack, was clearly an elite force that was well-trained and prepared for the sneak attack.
Of course. Already completely enveloped in fanaticism, Ao Bai devoted himself to this attack. Didn't see this change.
However, even if he saw it, he would not hesitate to order his iron cavalry to continue to attack.
With my own understanding of the Haw Par Army musketeers, even if the Haw Par Army is prepared, it will take a long time to go from chaos to combat mode. By the time they were ready, their iron horsemen had already rushed in front of them!
At this moment, the Golden Iron Cavalry of the Thousand Queens had already rushed to the position where the Tiger and Leopard Army camped more than a hundred paces away.
With the cavalry's current charging speed, it only took a short time for them to enter the camp and cut off the heads of the tiger and leopard army with their swords.
Therefore, many Houjin Tartars on war horses, as if they had seen victory beckoning to them, their eyes became more and more hot.
And just then, the unexpected happened......
The warriors who rushed to the front fell to the ground as if their legs had been suddenly cut off.
And when the cavalry behind them subconsciously bypassed these fallen cavalry and prepared to continue to attack, they also did not escape the fate of falling to the ground......
Soon, there were more than fifty Houjin Tartars, with men and horses, who fell on this line one after another.
In the face of this unknown death trap, no matter how brave the Tartar is, he will not continue to attack forward knowing that he is going forward to die.
Ao Bai, who was following the iron horse, stopped with everyone at this moment.
And just when Ao Bai had a solemn and puzzled expression, he wanted to find out what was going on and find the culprit who killed more than fifty cavalry under his command.
A tripping spike, specially designed to deal with cavalry, was sent directly to Ao Bai.
At the same time, a piece of news that made Ao Bai almost desperate also reached his ears......
"General, there are stumbling blocks everywhere ahead...... If we don't clean it up, we won't be able to rush over at all......"
It turns out that the Haw Par Army, which looks very peaceful on the surface and is unprepared, is not as simple as it seems on the surface......
Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows that tripping spikes are the best way to stop cavalry attacks and sneak attacks.
Therefore, before setting out on the expedition, Wang Feng distributed a large number of tripping horse nails to each company. Before camping, scatter tripping horse nails around the campsite. When we set out the next day, we will take back the stumbling horse nails that have been scattered.
In this way, not only can the possible sneak attack of the Houjin Iron Cavalry be avoided, but also more soldiers can rest well while camping. Instead of spending most of his time on guarding against the sneak attack of the Golden Iron Cavalry.
As a result, such a scene appeared on the battlefield......
In order to prevent a sneak attack by the Tartar cavalry, all the passages around the camp where the cavalry could walk were sprinkled with a large number of tripping horse nails. As soon as the Tartar cavalry arrived, they were greeted by a death trap in front of them.
Not only that, but the three light mortars that each musket company of the Haw Par Army is equipped with are not stacked together like other artillery pieces.
Instead, it had been assembled into a cannon, standing in the middle of the camp with the muzzle of the black hole in the hole. With simple aiming, it is possible to inflict artillery fire on the enemy.
Just when Ao Bai and his iron cavalry were blocked by the tripping horse nail on the way to the sneak attack, they were still hesitating whether to continue to attack.
The black holes of the three mortars were all aimed at them.
With three dull noises resounding in the camp, three flowering shells with a screeching sound flew directly out of the cannon chamber and smashed towards the Tartar cavalry more than a hundred paces away.
The flowering bomb exploded, and more than a dozen Houjin Iron Riders gathered together fell off their horses with screams before they could make any reaction.
At the same time, these Houjin cavalry gathered together also fell into chaos because of the sound of three explosions......
And in the blink of an eye, the second round of three flowering shells, immediately after, again landed in the middle of the dense cavalry and exploded...... (To be continued......)
