In less than an hour, the two-mile-long march of the first division began to sound intermittent gunfire.

The Tartar scouts, who were one step ahead of the main force, after receiving the order that Ao Bai did not need to continue to hide, in order to take revenge, even though they knew that attacking the tiger and leopard army was to send them to death, they still did not hesitate to attack the tiger and leopard army with the muzzle of the black hole hole of the tiger and leopard army.

Facing the increasingly dense gunfire around him, Wang Bo knew that his bad premonition had become a reality.

Sure enough, more than 6,000 soldiers had just reported to the regiment as a battalion and company unit, and the mighty main force of the Tartars appeared in the surrounding dense forest, looming, which was particularly terrifying......

It didn't take long for these Tartars to advance step by step towards the Tiger and Par Army as if they had been stimulated, and with the help of the cover of the dense forest around them, they began to advance step by step, and divided and surrounded the military formations of these battalions and companies.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Because the mountain in front of him has not been reclaimed in any way, the forest in the mountain is too dense, and it is difficult to see the other party's figure clearly when it is dozens of steps away.

Therefore, the Tartars, who are very familiar with the advance, are like vigorous monkeys. Before the Haw Par Army could spot them, they had already touched less than thirty paces away from the Haw Par Army.

At this distance, as long as the field of vision is wide enough and the archery is accurate enough, the Tartars can easily inflict damage on the tiger and leopard army in the encirclement even with bows and arrows.

It is clear that the Tartars are well aware of their advantages.

As soon as they infiltrated the range of the bow and arrows, sharp arrows flew from different directions towards the tiger and leopard army in the encirclement.

In the face of these sharp arrows, the Haw Par Army was almost unprepared. It can only be endured by hard topping.

So. The battle has just begun. With almost no casualties, the Tartars inflicted losses on the unprepared Haw Par Army, suffering almost 200 men.

However, this situation did not last long, and was changed by an order from Wang Bo......

Looking at the cold arrows that kept flying out of the dense forest around him, Wang Bo, who had a murderous face, ordered very decisively......

"Immediately give the order with the sound of a trumpet, and take cover with muskets. Grenades get out of the way, leave the Tartars around you and move on...... As long as we move, and under the cover of the smoke generated by the grenade explosion, their cold arrows will not cause us any damage at all......"

"Of course, if they want to stop us and don't let us go on...... Then we can only rush through the barrier of gunsmoke and be directly exposed to us...... In that case, the grenades and muskets in the hands of the soldiers were not vegetarian. ”

"Boom, boom, boom......" is very fast. A series of deafening explosions rang out in the dense forest.

And with the sound of explosions, a large amount of smoke and gunpowder smoke. It also rose from the ground and quickly spread out in the middle of the dense forest, unable to disperse for a long time.

In this dense forest, where the view is not very good, with the rise of these gunsmoke. The Tartar archers, who could still faintly see the figure of the tiger and leopard army just now, were completely out of target at this moment.

In this case, most of the arrows they fired were blocked by tree trunks and branches along the way.

Such a good opportunity, of course, the Haw Par Army, which was divided and surrounded by the Tatars, would not let it go.

Quickly shoot forward one row after another of buckshots, and then, along the path of the leadshots, continue to move forward.

Like bows and arrows, in the dense forest, the lead bullets fired may be blocked by branches and trunks as soon as they fly out of the chamber of the gun, and they will not fly in front of the Tartar who can only see the figure.

However, there is one point that the Tartars cannot be compared...... That is the density and penetration of lead bullet.

Several or even a dozen lead bullets are fired at a target at the same time, even if more than ninety percent of the lead bullets are all blocked in the middle of the road, there will still be one or two lead bullets that pass through many obstacles and penetrate the opponent's body.

Therefore, a musket formation formed by a musket company, every round of lead bullets fired, can inflict several casualties on the Tartars in front of them.

And the sum of dozens of musket companies is dozens or hundreds of casualties.

In this way, after a few rounds of lead bullets, there was no longer a single Tartar figure on the way of the Haw Par Army.

Of course, this does not mean that all the Tartars that stand in the way are eliminated.

However, even if they dodged the lead bullet strike, they were not destroyed. also became like a shrunken turtle, all hiding in the depths of the dense forest, never daring to raise their heads again, watching the tiger and leopard army pass in front of him without being indifferent......

One trick didn't work, and the Tartars had to change their tactics.

Otherwise, they would have to watch as the Tiger and Leopard Army slaughtered their own tribe and killed their own people.

As a pure cold weapon army, when the bow and arrow are ineffective, the only way the Tartars can think of is melee combat.

So, the Tartars, who were made of local materials, immediately held improvised shields and launched an attack on the Tiger and Par Army formation.

After all, in this dense forest, because of the limited field of vision, their attack was only a few dozen steps away.

In Ao Bai's view, on the field battlefield outside the mountains, the Houjin army can be intercepted by shields and the firepower of the tiger and leopard army, and rush through the attack distance of hundreds of steps, not to mention the attack distance of less than forty steps in front of them.

As long as there are no accidents, the Haw Par Army still adopts the method of blocking operations outside the mountains, and at most 40% of the total casualties of the total force, they can easily break through the fire interception of the Haw Par Army, re-enter their formation, and engage in close combat with the Haw Par Army.

At that time, even if the warriors under his command deal with the two tiger and leopard armies alone, Ao Bai is confident that he must be the one who wins in the end.

So, the Tartar, who had just shot cold arrows at the Tiger and Leopard Army, immediately rushed out of the dense forest with his shield on his head and killed the Tiger and Leopard Army.

To their disappointment, however, they did not hear the expected gunshots.

Just when their faces showed puzzled expressions, one after another smoke-emitting grenades had already reached their heads.

Not only that, the three mortars equipped with each musket company, plus the light mortars that Wang Feng specially reinforced from the other two divisions in order to cope with the mountain and forest operations, a total of nine mortars did not forget to come over to join in the fun.

The nine flowering bullets with a screaming sound drew a huge parabola directly in the air, crossed the barrier of the dense forest from the air, fell from the sky, and smashed into the middle of the Tartar attacking troops.

The moment the flowering bomb exploded, the grenade that crossed the obstruction also exploded.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty Tartars fell on the way with incredible faces.

All of them could not believe it, nor did they expect that more than a hundred musketeers of the Haw Par Army were actually armed with nine mortars.

Under such circumstances, if they want to break through the interception of the flowering bomb, they will have to pay a huge price far beyond their imagination...... (To be continued......)
