Chapter 843: Ao Bai is desperate
Ao Bai, whose face was flushed with anger and heartache, saw with his own eyes that as long as the hordes of Houjin warriors were bumped into by the war horses, no matter how many people there were, they would be overwhelmed by the war horses in a short time, and they would not even be able to leave a single figure.
Four thousand Tartar elites, after paying three thousand casualties in a row, finally returned to the foot of the mountain where the starting position was.
In their eyes, as long as they can climb the hill in front of them, the war horses behind them can no longer help themselves.
As a people who grew up on horseback, they know very well that on the flat ground without any traps, a blindfolded war horse will be on it, and they can also carry out wild quilts.
However, in the mountains, if this is the case, for the war horse, it is to die.
Because, any stone, a dirt pit, or even a tree stump in the mountains can bring a fatal blow to a blindfolded war horse.
However, the Tartars clearly underestimated the determination of the Haw Par Army to occupy the hill in front of them.
The wealthy Haw Par Army, from the moment they took out these war horses to charge into battle, they had no intention of letting these war horses go back.
Therefore, the clumsy war horse has just shown signs of slowing down or even stopping at the foot of the mountain.
The tiger and leopard army, which was closely following the group of war horses, once again drew out their bright bayonets, and once again pierced a bloody hole in the buttocks of the war horses, which constantly spilled out blood, and stimulated the last willpower and potential of the war horses.
As a result, there was such a scene on the battlefield, thousands of blindfolded war horses, knowing that climbing the mountain in the middle of the wild rush was to send them to death, still with a tragic neigh, screaming and rushing towards the mountain. of the horses tripped and fell on the road. The war horse behind did not hesitate at all. Continue to run towards the mountain. There is no intention of stopping.
Because all of this was developing so fast, before Ao Bai could make any adjustments, a herd of thousands of horses and more than a thousand tigers and leopards rushed to the foot of a hill.
Faced with this situation, Ao Bai immediately made adjustments...... Order all the red-coated cannons, quickly adjust the muzzles, and open fire on the foot of the hill where all the Haw Par Army and the war horse herd are gathered, and suppress the Haw Par Army here. Immobile.
And just when the Tartar gunners finally adjusted the cumbersome muzzle of the redcoat cannon. More than a thousand tigers and leopards, together with the war horses, have rushed to the mountainside of this mountain.
Although during the entire attack, almost all of the horses with thousands fell on the offensive road.
However, more than a thousand Haw Par troops had reached a position less than a hundred paces from the top of the mountain......
It is certain that as long as this force of tigers and leopards is willing and does not hesitate to suffer casualties, they will attack the defenders on the hill. The Tartars, who have not yet reacted from the ever-changing situation of the battlefield, will definitely not be able to stop the clever attack of the Haw Par Army.
At this time, Ao Bai was still unclear about the true purpose of the Haw Par Army's counteroffensive. Then his title of the first general of Houjin will be called in vain.
Thinking of this, Ao Bai's already solemn face was already solemn. At this moment, it was directly covered by gloom.
Ao Bai, who felt that he had been tricked by the Tiger and Leopard Army again, smashed his clenched fist on a log, and scolded loudly: "Artillery, immediately adjust the muzzle of the gun and shell the Tiger and Par Army on the mountainside...... Be sure to cover the hill defenders and hold the hill......"
After Ao Bai's order was given, the subordinates on one side did not leave, but replied with a look of embarrassment: "General, the Haw Par Army is on the mountainside, and the distance has exceeded the effective range of the red-coated cannons...... The flowering shells fired by our redcoat cannons can't reach them at all, and unless we move all the redcoat cannons to the foot of the mountain, we can't help them at all......"
"Bastard...... Then what are you still doing, go and transfer the artillery immediately...... With the strength of the defenders on the mountain, it will not be able to stop the tiger and leopard army for long......" At this time, Ao Bai was like an angry lion, and scolded loudly.
Because, the answer of his subordinates has made him realize that he has no way to stop the Haw Par Army from occupying the mountain. After all, the powerful attack capability of the Haw Par Army is there, and in the case that the red-coated cannon cannot be used, the defenders of the hill do not have the slightest advantage in front of the more than 1,000 Haw Par Army, except for a slight advantage in strength!
Under such circumstances, the occupation of the mountain by more than 1,000 tigers and leopards seems to have become unstoppable.
As long as the more than 1,000 tiger and leopard troops occupy the mountain, it becomes very impossible for them to destroy it again.
After all, outside the encirclement, there is an even more powerful Haw Par Army, which is advancing towards the battlefield little by little.
However, even so, Ao Bai still held the last trace in his heart
Wish.
Otherwise, he would not have ordered the artillery to move all the heavy red-coated cannons to the foot of the mountain, and carry out artillery strikes on the more than 1,000 tiger and leopard troops to support the defenders of the mountain......
Just as the Tartars began to transport the heavy red-coated cannons, more than a thousand Hawpanthers were ready for the final blow on the hill.
The remaining light mortars, medium mortars, and heavy mortars of the three battalions, a total of more than 70 artillery pieces, all held their black holes high, ready to open fire.
As for the more than 1,000 musketeers, in addition to inserting a bright bayonet into the barrel of the musket, and putting a lead bullet on it, and carrying the musket on his shoulder, each musketeer held a grenade in his hand, and in the other hand he held a sparkling fire fold.
Soon, the artillery position of the Haw Par Army on the mountainside sounded a series of dull shelling.
More than seventy flowering shells, with a piercing screech, flew out of the long barrel of the mortar and flew towards the top of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of an explosion that shook the ground and shook the mountains sounded on the top of the mountain.
The musketeers, who were ready to attack, clearly saw that the moment the explosion sounded, a ball of fire, mixed with a large amount of black smoke, followed by the sky from the ground of the mountain......
Not only that, the fragments of the flying cannonballs produced by the explosion of the flowering bomb formed an impenetrable steel storm on the ground of the mountain for the first time, killing and injuring all living creatures in front of him.
You must know that the position built by the Tartars on the top of the mountain is not the position built by the Haw Par Army at the foot of the mountain.
Because I never thought that the mountain might be attacked by the Haw Par Army. The two thousand Tartars not only did not dig any trenches on the top of the hills. On the contrary, for the convenience of the garrison, he cleaned up all the logs and stones on the hill that might affect his vision and shooting boundary.
Therefore, at this moment, the first feeling of the entire hilltop position is that it is empty, very empty.
And such a result, not only did not help the Tartars themselves, but did a great favor to the artillery of the Haw Par Army.
Because there is no place to hide on the mountain, the flowering bombs that constantly explode directly become the god of death on the mountain, which specializes in harvesting the life of the tartars. The explosion of each flowering bomb can take the lives of several Tartars, which can be described as a large explosion...... (To be continued......)
