Chapter 483: Take the initiative to attack

Under the combined blow of frontal lead bullets and aerial flowering bullets, the remaining more than 1,000 people of the Tartars finally failed to rush into the range of the horse bow and rushed to a position thirty paces away from the Tiger and Leopard Army.

The gunfire stopped, and the white smoke around the 1st Garrison Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army in Liaodong slowly dissipated under the action of the cold wind.

When the bloody picture in front of them came into the field of vision of these garrison soldiers, everyone had a shocked expression on their faces. After the shock, it was the surprise that came from the heart, and it quickly surged to the face.

Because, in the battle just now, he wiped out more than two thousand real Tatar cavalry.

Although I don't know how many of the more than 2,000 Tartar heads I can get. However, according to the military regulations of the Haw Par Army, all these Tartar heads were converted into silver, and each soldier of the First Garrison Division was evenly distributed, and each person could receive almost a month's salary.

Therefore, whether it was out of excitement after the victory or out of anticipation of the silver reward, every garrison soldier had a heartfelt smile on his face.

On the other hand, in the Tartar tribe, the thousands of Tartars who gathered outside the tribe in the future faced the bloody and bloody pictures on the battlefield, and faced the completely opposite result in front of them and everyone expected. There was a stunned look of shock on everyone's faces.

They couldn't believe that the Han army, which had always been known for its cowardice, had such a strong fighting force. The Houjin Iron Cavalry, who has always been known for their bravery, will be defeated on the battlefield

Just then, another leader of the clan stepped forward. Raising the saber in his hand, he shouted loudly.

"Warriors, the Han people in front of you. There must have been some ulterior and despicable means. The two thousand warriors who killed us must take revenge. Avenge the warriors who died in battle, and kill all the Han people who surrounded us."

The stubbornness, refusal to admit defeat, and bravery of the Tartars are reflected in a very timely manner at this time.

With the help of the monoculars, Sun Chengzong, who clearly saw the every move of the Tartars outside the tribe, a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth. He shouted an order to his subordinates: "Inform the three division commanders that the Tartar counterattack is about to start again, so that they can prepare for battle immediately."

In order to win, in this counteroffensive, the Tartars directly sent cavalry equivalent to the garrison division of the Tiger and Leopard Army to launch against the position of the second garrison division in Liaodong.

In the face of the Tartars' strong troops, not only the officers and soldiers of the ordinary garrison division, but even the colonel and division commander of the second garrison division showed a worried expression on their faces.

He didn't know if the 6,000 recruits under his command could stop the menacing. Six thousand Tartar horsemen with more troops than the musketeers under his command.

Whatever the outcome, though. Before receiving the retreat order, all he could do was to lead his soldiers to stay here like a nail.

Under such circumstances, the colonel and division commander could only hide his inner worries and fears as much as possible, and shouted to the soldiers around him as calmly as possible: "Brothers, soldiers, there is nothing to fear"

"Ben will believe that no matter how many Tartars come, there is only one way to die in front of our firearms"

"Don't forget, by our side, there are two divisions of soldiers who can come to reinforce us at any time."

"The brothers of the First Garrison Division have killed more than 2,000 Tartars, and according to the military regulations of the Haw Par Army, each soldier can receive a reward equivalent to a month's salary. In the face of this result, don't you blush?"

"Ben is here to tell everyone that as long as you can destroy the six thousand Tartars who attacked us, after the battle, everyone will receive a reward of twenty taels of silver."

"So, whether it's for the silver or for the sake of military merit, everyone must cheer up, follow the general, stay here, and kill the Tartars"

As he spoke, six thousand Tartar cavalry had launched an unprecedented attack on the Second Garrison Division.

In the face of the Tartars who were getting closer and closer to him, the only thing the colonel could do was to kill them as much as possible on the offensive path with muskets according to his training.

What made the colonel's division commander and the 6,000 soldiers under his command feel fortunate was that they were facing 6,000 Tartar young men, not 6,000 real Tartar iron cavalry with military regulations.

When the mighty Tartar cavalry, under the combined attack of the artillery and musketeers of the garrison division, had just attacked thirty paces forward, they paid a loss of seven or eight hundred men.

The Tartar leader, whose face changed greatly in the face of the loss, immediately thought of the two thousand soldiers who had just been completely annihilated.

So, in order to save his life, the Tartar directly made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.

He led the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers, and after making a turn in front of the position of the second garrison division in Liaodong, he quickly withdrew to the tribe, preparing to rely on a soil fence around the tribe, and use the bow and arrow and melee combat that Houjin was very good at to smash the possible attack of the tiger and leopard army outside the tribe.

So, in the retreat, the Tartar leader who lost hundreds of dollars again withdrew to the tribe with the remaining more than 4,000 young men under his command.

Facing the Tartars who quickly retracted on the battlefield, Sun Chengzong said expressionlessly: "This Tartar leader has a good idea, and he knows that he will make a decision to retreat at the right time. ”

"However, they still underestimate us because of their arrogance"

"Order, the three divisions immediately follow the predetermined plan, advance in parallel to the Tartar tribe and launch an attack. Tell the Tartars in the SΓΉ tribe that our Tiger and Leopard Army is not only powerful in firearms, but also not weaker than them in melee combat."

Not long after Sun Chengzong's order was issued, nine huge musket formations composed of three divisions, like nine huge chariots, slowly pressed towards the Tartar tribe.

The neat and dense array of muskets, all the way to a position of a hundred paces from the Tartar tribe, still without the slightest confusion.

Faced with a scene that he had never seen before, the tribal leader who had fought with the Han people directly showed a puzzled expression on his face.

With a solemn face, he said to himself: "What do the Han people want to do with such a dense phalanx, as long as they rush into the range of our longbows, they will become a live target?" ”

At this moment, the Haw Par Army, which had already rushed to a hundred paces away from the tribe, directly told him with actions that the soldiers of the Haw Par Army who participated in the attack did not intend to be their live targets.

Because, the nine huge musket arrays, which had just advanced to the range of their longbows, stopped at the same time as if they had been negotiated.

Not only that, but the strange cannons that were hiding behind the musket array just now and carried by the gunner were directly carried to the front of the musket array, and they were set up one by one, and the muzzles of the black holes, without exception, all pointed to their own positions.

Seeing this, the faces of the tribal leaders who had seen the powerful power of the Haw Par Army's artillery in the attack just now turned pale directly.

He didn't dare to imagine what would become of the earthen fence in front of him after being hit by a few flowering bullets from the Tiger and Leopard Army? (To be continued......)
