After two days of long running, another Tartar tribe, because of the bloody massacre of the cavalry division, was left with nothing......

At this time, the commander of the cavalry division, even if he knew that the next target was only a day's journey away, he had to stop and let his soldiers rest for a day in the face of his sleepy subordinates.

Otherwise, even if the body of the soldiers under his command is beaten with iron, it will not be able to withstand this kind of high-intensity rushing battle.

Of course, it was only the main force of the cavalry division that really rested.

As for the hundreds of scouts in the scout battalion of the cavalry division, they were still not idle.

All of them were scattered by the cavalry division commander, and while reconnoitering the possible enemy situation in the surrounding area, he closely monitored several Tartar tribes that had been included in the attack range of the division commander......

And at this moment, an illusion that Ao Bai was preparing was directly looked at by the cavalry division scouts......

The two Tartar tribes, which were closest to the cavalry division and were fleeing for their lives to the rear, suddenly changed the direction of retreat......

The two Tartar tribes joined forces to occupy a piece of high ground, relying on the high ground to block the attack of the cavalry division.

When he first received this information, the cavalry division commander's face directly showed a smile full of mockery.

In the eyes of the division commander, there is no difference between Tartar doing this and sending him to death......

After all, they do not have in their hands a single piece of equipment that can suppress the Haw Par firearms. In the counterattack against the Haw Par Army, they could only be beaten passively, and little by little they were eaten by the Haw Par Army's attacking troops, that is, the cavalry division under their command.

However, this taunt did not last long, and disappeared completely because of a reminder from his subordinates......

"General. The minion thought. Tartars within these two tribes. Not only is it not sent to death, but it is also very smart......"

"General, don't forget, in order to increase the speed of pursuit, we abandoned all the artillery equipped with the cavalry division...... The muskets are powerful, but as long as the walls are strong enough to defend our Tartars, we can't help them......"

"As for grenades. Although it is possible to give the Tartars who defend the walled wall a ruined blow. But our bombardiers, if they want to throw grenades into the opposing stockade, must be exposed to the Tartar archers and suffer heavy casualties......"

Ao Bai's brows furrowed and he scolded very dissatisfied: "It seems that the Tartars must have a very clear grasp of our strength and situation. Otherwise, the Tartars of these two tribes would never have bullied us for not carrying artillery......"

Speaking of which, Ao Bai's words turned around. Go on......

"However, these Tartars also underestimate my cavalry division too much...... Do they think. Without artillery cover, our Tiger and Par Army would not know how to attack, and there would be no way to take them......"

"The general will order that each cavalry battalion shall immediately draw out a company and make shields using the carts discarded by the tartars of the battlefield, and the oxen and sheep skins we have slaughtered...... All shields must be able to block the close-range shots of the Tartar archers......"

"As long as we make the Tartar archers ornamental...... Well, the grenades that the Tartars are not really equipped with yet, will dominate the entire battlefield......"

Two days later, more than 5,000 soldiers of the cavalry division appeared very neatly at the foot of the mountain where the Tartar tribe was located.

With the help of clairvoyance, the cavalry division commander saw the situation on the hill very clearly.

Not to mention, the other abilities of the Tartar are not good, and the ability to learn from them is still good.

In order to block the lead bullets fired from the muskets, the Tartars used the inexhaustible soil under their feet to build an earthen wall more than two feet thick and five feet high.

The entire earthen wall surrounds the mountain, surrounding more than 20,000 Tartars from the two Tartar tribes.

Of course, this was only what the cavalry division commander saw......

In the Tuweizi on the mountain, in addition to the 20,000 Tartar herdsmen, there are also 6,000 elite Houjin troops......

At this moment, these Houjin troops all abandoned their horses and hid in the middle of the dense tents in the earthen enclosure......

Some bent their bows and arrows, and some held sabers, quietly waiting for the arrival of their prey......

Of course, these were all situations that the cavalry division commander did not know.

In the face of the earth enclosure in front of him, although the cavalry division commander was very cautious, he did not really take it seriously.

After resting for less than half an hour, the 4,000 soldiers of the cavalry division jumped off their horses, carried cowhide and sheepskin shields, divided into four, and attacked the Tartars who defended the hill together.

Obviously, the commander of the cavalry division planned to take these two tribes in one fell swoop through this attack on Guò, and add two more battle exploits to the battle exploits of himself and the cavalry division......

Thousands of muskets fired at the same time, and the flying lead bullets, like rain, flew overwhelmingly towards the hills.

Dozens of Tartars, unable to dodge, were directly knocked to the ground by lead bullets and turned into corpses......

In this case, all the Tartars could do was hide behind the earthen walls, hiding from the buckshot that the Haw Par Army used to suppress themselves.

As a result, thousands of cavalry division officers and soldiers rushed to a distance of sixty paces from the earthen wall, and none of the Tartars hiding behind the earthen wall came forward.

However, just as thousands of tigers and leopards, with shields on their heads, continued to attack the mountain, a round of dense arrows suddenly flew out from behind the earthen wall, and after drawing a beautiful arc over the battlefield, they flew straight towards the attacking troops of the tiger and leopard army.

Under shield cover, most of the arrows are rendered useless.

However, when the blind cat collided with a dead mouse, there were still a small number of arrows, causing more than a dozen casualties to the tiger and leopard army.

However, such losses did not stop the pace of the Haw Par Army's offensive.

Every cavalry soldier who took part in the attack knew that if he attacked forty paces further, he could inflict a devastating blow on the tartars behind the earthen wall, with a grenade on his waist......

Soon, the Haw Par Army, with less than 100 casualties, rushed into the effective range of the grenade.

Thousands of white smoke grenades were thrown by the soldiers without the slightest preparation.

In the blink of an eye, the grenades landed behind the earthen wall, and one after the other exploded......

When the Tiger and Par Army, who were hiding behind their shields, continued to throw grenades at the top of the mountain, the balls of fireball and black smoke that kept rising, and the corpses of the Tartars that were directly thrown by the grenades also clearly appeared in front of them.

The officers and men of the 4,000 cavalry division threw 8,000 grenades in a row before they stopped.

When the explosion stopped, the smoke that enveloped the earthen wall slowly dissipated.

The earthen wall in front of him has become quiet. Not only that, but the arrows that kept flying out just now also disappeared completely.

At the foot of the mountain, in the face of the battle process that was almost not different from his expectations, the division commander's face was directly covered with a thick smile...... Without thinking about it, he opened his mouth and ordered......

"Order the attacking troops, storm the Tartar tribes, and kill all the Tartar ...... who dare to resist" (to be continued......)
