But today is different, with 30,000 against 80,000, it is already a state of absolute death.

In the face of the inexhaustible Tibetan cavalry, the cavalry of the special operations army had given up the idea of keeping the last grenade.

Under the order of Xu Shouren, the cavalry of the special operations army on both sides quickly started to meet the cavalry of the Tubo army.

After hedging to a sufficient throwing distance, the special combat army began to throw grenades, and after two rounds of throwing, the distance was already close to within ten zhang, and at this time, the cavalry of the special operations army turned to the left, and the right side to the right, with the intention of avoiding the charging of the Tibetan army, turning around, and then coming back to throw.

The explosion of the two waves of grenades also hindered the charging momentum of the Tubo cavalry, and the vacant time in between was enough for the cavalry of the special combat army on both sides to run out of three miles and turn back.

The throwing of such four rounds of grenades quickly reduced the size of the cavalry of the Tibetan army.

However, the special operations cavalry had run out of grenades, and in the same way, although the musketeers were equipped with thirty rounds of ammunition per soldier, the breech guns needed to be cleared after continuous fire, and although crucible steel was used, they still needed to be cleared and cooled after firing a dozen shots each time.

As soon as the musketeers stopped firing, the Tibetan cavalry on the opposite side began to accelerate to attack.

Xu Shouren could only wave the flag and order the cavalry of the special operations army on both sides to close to the middle, establishing a separation zone between the Tibetan cavalry and the musketeers.

In the previous battle, the special operations army used the power of firearms and well-trained combat methods to easily and quickly kill and wound a large number of cavalry attacking from Tibet.

Visually, at least three to forty percent of the Tibetan cavalry were killed or wounded, but the greatest death came from the trampling of the Tibetan army itself.

Most of the Tibetan troops were shot down by grenades and muskets. They did not die, but were injured, and some even fell off their horses because they were frightened by the explosion. At this time, the cavalry of the Tubo army who followed up could not stop the running of the war horse at all, and trampled on it.

At this time, in addition to the casualties of the cavalry, only dozens of musketeers were injured due to the explosion of muskets.

At this point, the special operations army can be said to have won a complete victory.

But Xu Shouren knows that this is just the beginning.

The cavalry ran out of grenades. The musketeers still had half of their ammunition on their boards, and at this time, the cavalry of the special operations army could only use crossbows and knives to fight the enemy to cover the clearing of the musketeers.

The time for cleaning and cooling is not long. It's just the time of a pillar of incense.

But the time of this pillar of incense was exchanged for thousands of lives of the cavalry of the special operations army.

According to Xu Shouren's order, the cavalry of the special combat army quickly closed in front of the musketeer formation, because it was already very close to the Tubo army at this time. Only had time to fire a crossbow bolt once. After that, the cavalry quickly drew their swords, and a bloody hand-to-hand cavalry battle began.

The cavalry of the Tubo army rushing to the front was killed by the crossbow arrows of the special warfare army, so that the special warfare army smoothly closed in the middle, but at this time, according to the inertia of the war horse, the cavalry of the special warfare army could not quickly turn the horse's head to face the enemy, which gave the Tubo cavalry the possibility of killing from the side.

The Tibetan army has changed from the arrogance before the war to the shock of a sudden firearm attack. It then turns into anger that the attack is frustrated and many people are killed and wounded. At this time, the Tubo army did not lack morale, 80,000 against 30,000, even if half of the troops were killed, the strength was ahead of the Ming army, which was the true idea of the Tubo commander, and it was also the main reason why the Tubo army did not collapse when it suffered a heavy setback from the Ming army's firearms.

And now, assaulting the Ming cavalry from the flank is the most suitable opportunity to turn the tide of the war.

Under the roar of the generals, the Tubo cavalry concentrated the left, center and right cavalry, and plunged into the cavalry of the special operations army with all their strength like an arrow.

The battle was painful for the cavalry of the Special Operations Army.

Many cavalrymen of the special warfare army were hacked to death and wounded because their left hand could not stand up to the sabers swung by the Tibetan cavalry.

Xu Shouren saw the cavalry fall in pieces, and his chest ached.

But in order to give the musketeers time, he could only close his eyes.

At this point in the battle, Xu Shouren already clearly realized that if he gave up the musketeers to keep the cavalry, it would be impossible to resist or defeat the Tubo army three times the size of the cavalry with more than 10,000 cavalry, and only to keep the musketeers and have a last chance to fight.

In Xu Shouren's heart, the cavalry of the special warfare army has been abandoned by him, and he only hopes that the cavalry of the special warfare army can fight as much as possible to reduce the pressure on the musketeers to go up again.

War always kills people, and the most important basis for judging the merits and demerits of generals is to exchange the lives of a small number of people for most of the lives, and to exchange the deaths of a relatively small number of people for a relatively large number of lives.

Now Xu Shouren has no choice, he has only one thought in his heart, that is, the whole army will be wiped out and this Tubo cavalry will be disabled, so that it can no longer go north.

The cavalry of the special operations army exchanged the lives of nearly 3,000 people for the opportunity to turn the horse's head.

It was in this short moment that the pent-up anger in the hearts of the cavalry of the special operations army began to erupt from the passive beating.

Just now, there was no chance to fight, and now that the battle is fair.

Undoubtedly, the knives of the special operations army weigh nearly ten catties, and the materials used are all crucible steel.

Under the intersection of the blades of the soldiers of the two armies, the swords of many Tibetan soldiers were broken in response, which was a great damage to the morale of the Tibetan army.

The cavalry of the special warfare army relied on the sharpness of the weapons and began to counterattack, and the Tubo army kept retreating, this retreat was not a real retreat, but the special warfare army was advancing, and the Tubo army in the advance position had already been cut off the horse.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most physically demanding and passionate.

The cavalry of the special operations army triggered the desperate passion with anger and continued to flow with physical strength.

By this time, the musketeers had been reconditioned, and the soldiers of the transport battalion had re-laid the barriers in front of the formation.

Seeing the cavalry buying time for themselves with their lives, the eyes of the musket soldiers flashed with hatred.

At this time, Xu Shouren breathed a sigh of relief, the casualties of the cavalry of the special operations army were far less than he expected.

He knew that he could not let the cavalry resist any longer, although the Tubo army was pressed and beaten by the cavalry at this time, but when the cavalry of the special warfare army was exhausted, at that time, in the counterattack of the Tubo army, the cavalry of the special warfare army could not retreat if they wanted to.

In order to protect this cavalry team, which had lost nearly half of the battle, Xu Shouren was ruthless, waved the flag and ordered the cavalry to quickly retreat a mile, and then turned to the front of the musketeers and left and right respectively.

This is an adventure, if the general of the Tibetan army is sensitive and senses that the Ming cavalry is about to retreat, as long as they follow and pursue, the Ming cavalry will be in chaos, and if there is a rout, it will threaten the formation of musketeers.

But Xu Shouren is willing to gamble, he is a person, a normal person, with normal joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

The tragic situation of ruthlessly closing the cavalry in the middle just now had made him no longer ruthless, and this cavalry was completely lost under the gaze of his own eyes. (To be continued......)
