It took half an hour and more than 250 casualties, and the 1st Division and 1st Regiment of the Haw Par Army successfully occupied the first line of defense of the Tartars and wiped out more than 1,800 Tartars.

The entire Haw Par Army is very satisfied with this result.

Of course, while being satisfied, Wang Feng already vaguely felt what the Tartars' conspiracy against him was......

In Wang Feng's opinion, the purpose of the Tartars to launch this battle was really to eat a musket regiment that he had entered alone. Then, they will definitely send their most elite troops to besiege the 2nd Division and 1st Regiment.

Instead of putting the elite and their own limited red-coated artillery on the blockade.

You must know that according to what you know, the number of red-coated cannons owned by the entire Houjin is only more than two hundred.

As long as Houjin Tartar concentrates all these red-coated cannons on the second division and one regiment, plus the 20,000 musketeers of the Tartars, it is entirely possible to eat at least 2,000 soldiers of the second division and one regiment when the reinforcements they send arrive.

At the moment, instead of doing so, the Tartars placed heavy troops on the way to block the reinforcements, so that they had to spend a lot of time attacking these lines as soon as they left the camp......

Could it be that the Tartars did this to slow down the reinforcements and buy them time to besiege the second division and one regiment......

However, as a result, another question immediately came to Wang Feng's mind.

That is, today's Tartar combat effectiveness has become so weak that tens of thousands of troops, even two thousand tiger and leopard troops, cannot be wiped out in a short time...... If this is the case, it is not that Houjin has no strength to fight against the Haw Par Army.

The idea is just emerging, though. was vetoed by Wang Feng.

Because. The battle that had just broken out in front of him. It is very clear to show himself that the Tartars still have combat effectiveness.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a strong enough artillery advantage, the attack that had just ended would definitely not end with such a good result, and the losses he needed to pay in the attack would be far greater than now.

In that case, the Tartars' purpose in doing this is not what we seem, to slow down the march of our reinforcements. In one fell swoop, we wiped out the 2,000 soldiers of the 2nd Division and the 1st Regiment of our lone army.

The first thought in his mind was rejected, coupled with the heavy troops that the Tartars had placed on their way to reinforcements.

A very bold idea immediately rushed to Wang Feng's eyes......

The Tartars are going to besiege the city and send reinforcements...... Using his eagerness to rescue the second regiment, he consumed the reinforcements under his command little by little on the entire reinforcement road!

After telling the two division commanders what he thought in his heart, the two division commanders not only did not show the slightest expression of worry, but instead flashed a mocking smile from the heart.

In particular, Wang Bo, the commander of the first division, while having a mocking face, directly shouted: "Send reinforcements...... It also depends on whether he has this good tooth mouth in the tartar. The attack just now, I don't know the true strength of the Tartars arranged on the defensive line. I suffered a big loss, losing almost two companies of troops......"

"The next march is on. If I run into a Tartar line of the same size again, I promise to end the battle in half an hour, and keep the casualties within a company......"

After seeing all the confidence on Wang Bo's face, Wang Feng followed up and decided: "Very good, since the Tartars want to send reinforcements, then let's satisfy their wishes and have a good fight with the elites they have arranged on the reinforcement road." Let's see if they hit our reinforcements, or if our reinforcements hit them and they hit the reinforcements......"

"Order, the troops continue to advance, or a division and a regiment to the front to open the way......"

The results of the Haw Par Army's breakthrough of the first line of defense of the Tartars made the Haw Par Army see the true purpose of the Tartars' operations, and also made the Tatars see the strength of the Haw Par Army, and saw that their carefully arranged defense line was so unbearable in the face of the powerful offensive of the Haw Par Army.

However, even so, the Tartars guarding the rear line of defense, under Ao Bai's death order, even if they knew that they would be sent to death if they continued to defend, they could only grit their teeth and stay here.

Soon, the second line of defense of the Tartars appeared in front of the Haw Par Army.

This time, Wang Bo, who had already learned his lesson, became much more cautious.

As soon as they came up, three medium mortar batteries, a heavy mortar battalion, fired ten rounds of flowering shells at the Tartar line.

Then, two companies of musketeers slowly pressed towards the Tartar line.

The difference from the previous battle was that the musketeers of the two companies had just advanced to a position of 100 paces from the Tartar line, and the eighteen light mortars that accompanied the attack of the two musket companies were quickly erected.

Dozens of light mortar gunners, regardless of whether or not there were Tartar outcrops on the Tartar line a hundred paces away, fired five rounds of flowering shells at the Tartar line as soon as they came up, as in the shelling just now.

Then, it didn't stop as everyone imagined. Instead, a group of nine mortars fired a steady stream of flowering shells at the Tartar defense line to maintain the suppression of fire on the Tartar defense line.

Just when the Tartar line had been shrouded in artillery fire, two companies of three hundred musketeers, not letting go of this opportunity, quickly pressed towards the Tartar line.

At this time, the Tartar red-clothed cannon that Wang Bo was anxiously waiting for finally showed up and fired.

In the face of the red-coated artillery position that had been completely exposed by the Tartars, the hundreds of soldiers of the heavy artillery battalion of the 1st Division, which had long been ready to go, were like hungry wolves that smelled blood, and their eyes immediately lit up.

After readjusting the long barrel of the cannon in a very short time.

Eighteen cannons, as if they had been negotiated, were accompanied by a roar that shook the mountains.

Then, eighteen flowering shells with a screeching sound, as if death had descended, flew towards the Tartar red-coated cannon position.

Under the sharp counterattack of the Haw Par Army's eighteen cannons, the Tartars' red-coated cannons, which had a slow firing speed, had just fired the second round of flowering shells when they were hit by the devastating blow of the Haw Par Army's heavy artillery battalion and lost its combat effectiveness.

Under such circumstances, the Tartars on the defensive line, who were so pressed by the flowering bullets that they could not lift their heads, could no longer stop the Haw Par Army.

Little by little, the 300 tiger and leopard musketeers approached the line and rained down grenades......

As a qualified musketeer, almost everyone on the line knew the powerful lethality that could result from the simultaneous explosion of so many grenades......

It is certain that once so many grenades explode around him, there is only one result left for him, and that is to be blown to pieces......

Thinking of this, these Tartars, who had not even seen the face of the tiger and leopard army, were directly frightened.

Then, desperately, he began to flee for his life, hoping to survive...... (To be continued......)
