Chapter 108: The Tartar in Distress
The next deliberate act of the Haw Par Army was more like a stimulant, making the infantry more and more determined to attack the Tartar line behind them.
When the 2,000 infantry began to retreat like a tidal wave, the explosive packets, which had been falling on the ground and exploding like rain, suddenly stopped.
And this, just give the infantry an idea.
As long as he retreats backwards, as long as he does not attack Mushroom Valley, the tiger and leopard army with the help of the gods will not attack him, and death will not come to him again.
As a result, prompted by this idea, the retreat speed of the infantry followed by the infantry became faster and faster.
The distance of dozens of steps from the Tartar behind it disappeared in an instant.
There were still a thousand Tartar archers left, dodging the rain of buckshot from the Hawpan-Leopard Army while throwing arrows at the city walls. The 2,000 fleeing infantry were like a bulldozer at high speed, slamming into the already chaotic Tartar formation, and making a mess of the Tartar archers.
The Tartars are also afraid of death, and in the face of the heavy casualties brought by the rain of lead bullets, if it weren't for the thousands of infantry in front of them, they only need to fight with the Tiger and Leopard Army from a long distance. The remaining archers of the Tartars probably collapsed earlier than the infantry followed.
Because, although the Tartars are brave and good at fighting and have strong combat effectiveness, all of them show that the enemy is weaker than themselves and wins the battle. Once they lose the battle, the Tartars, who are more formidable than themselves and have no military discipline to restrain them, will surely become very cowardly and become the first troops on the battlefield to break and flee in order to save their lives.
Therefore, in the face of the rain of lead bullets that constantly flew towards him and constantly took away the lives of his comrades, the Tartar archers did not rout on the spot. However, they are also on the very edge of a rout. As long as there is a reasonable reason, in order to save their lives, they will definitely drop their weapons and flee the battlefield under the effect of survival instinct......
Two thousand infantry rushed into their own formations and disrupted them. The fear and despair carried by the infantry followers also permeated the Tartar archers for the first time.
In this way, the Tartar archers began to crumble, and with the flow of infantry and the collapse of the army, they retreated in fear and despair.
Wei Zheng, who had been holding a telescope from beginning to end and observing the latest battle situation, suddenly opened his mouth and ordered: "What are you still doing?" Concentrate fire on the enemy's send-off...... The cavalry battalion, the recruit battalion, immediately went out of the fort to counterattack, and the musket battalion, the pike-battalion followed up to cover. Today, our Tiger and Par Army has killed the Tartars again. ”
The command flag waved, and the two wooden gates of the mushroom valley were slowly pushed open, and then, the deafening shouts of killing sounded from the city gate hole under his feet.
"Killing ......" Shubai is a recruit who has been baptized on the battlefield, with the enthusiasm and excitement of the first time on the battlefield, holding a big knife and a spear...... It was like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins, roaring and pouring out of the city gate, chasing after the enemy who had escaped from the white steps.
At this moment, the ten trenches that the Haw Par Army had built outside the city had once again become an enemy nightmare.
When attacking, they can climb out of the trench in an orderly manner and advance step by step.
But now it's a retreat, a frantic retreat to save your life.
After jumping into the trench, every infantry henchman and Tartar wanted to be the first to climb the trench. However, a trench more than five feet deep is almost impossible to get out of without external force.
So, there was such a scene on the battlefield.
In order to climb up the trench and escape for his life, the Tartar who was frantically fleeing for his life directly slashed the big knife in his hand at the infantry followers who were twice as many as himself, intending to use the corpses of the infantry followers as a stepping stone for him to climb up the trench.
However, will these infantry henchmen, who have already decided to attack the Tartars for the sake of their lives, be so restrained?
The answer is no.
Under the stunned gaze of the Tartars, the infantrymen, who had always been obedient, raised their rudimentary weapons and blocked their broadswords that had slashed at them. Then, as if mad, they raised their weapons and slashed at themselves and at their former masters.
"Bastard, what do you want to do, don't you want to live?" The Tartar cried out with shock and despair on his face, hoping to awaken the fear of himself in the infantry henchman.
However, the Tartar was disappointed. The infantry did not stop at the weapons they were slashing at themselves, and continued to slash at their bodies.
The Tartars, who had enslaved the infantry followers for half their lives, died in despair at the hands of the infantry followers, and became a stepping stone for the infantry followers to climb the trenches.
This is not a special case in the chaotic battlefield.
In order to survive, they climbed out of the trench, and in the midst of this moment, several white Tartars and infantry followers were cut into corpses by their colleagues and subordinates with the despair before parting, and became a stepping stone for other Tartars and infantry followers to climb the trench.
Enemies need to go through rounds of fighting before they can get enough corpses to serve as stepping stones. However, cavalry battalions and recruits who followed the pursuit did not need it.
By the time the Tartars and infantry had crossed five trenches in a row at the cost of more than a thousand men and began to fight in the sixth trench, hundreds of tigers and leopards had already pursued them less than thirty paces away.
Since the guns began to be installed in the Haw Par Army, this easy-to-learn weapon has become a must-have weapon for every soldier in the Haw Par Army.
Therefore, in the entire Haw Par Army, except for the artillery battalion and the musket battalion, everyone in the other battalions carried three throwing guns on their backs.
Facing the Tartars who were close at hand, fighting in the trenches.
Zhao Yun, the commander of the cavalry battalion, first picked up a throwing spear and threw it with all his strength into the trench that was crowded with dense enemies.
The moment the gun flew out, he shouted in his loudest voice: Throw the gun, throw the gun at me
In the midst of the dense enemy, the results achieved by throwing guns can definitely be described as amazing.
Although most of the whistling guns fail to hit the target, as long as the guns are pierced into the trench, they will always be able to pierce an enemy. What's more, the spears falling from the sky are like strings of sugar gourds, directly penetrating the bodies of the two enemies.
In the blink of an eye, there were several more white corpses in the densely packed trenches of the enemy.
Although, the enemy's fight against the sixth trench was over, and the dense enemy was like a frightened rabbit, crawling out of the trench with a corpse. However, directly in front of them, there were four whole trenches waiting for them.
Zhao Yun, who was ordered to pursue, also seemed to see the enemy's embarrassment, and directly ordered the troops to slow down the attack, unhurriedly follow behind the Tartars, and use throwing spears to weaken the enemy's strength little by little.
