Worried and worried, the tribal patriarch knew very well in his heart that eliminating this Han cavalry that dared to attack him was the only option for the entire tribe to survive.

As a result, the patriarch's facial expression quickly became firm.

Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes at the same time, he raised the saber in his hand and shouted loudly: "Warriors, for our families, for our cattle, sheep and war horses... These Han cavalry must be eliminated... Kill..."

After a thunderous shout of killing sounded, thousands of Mongolian cavalry quickly urged their horses under their crotches and began to attack.

As the Mongols became more and more fast, a cone-shaped cavalry attack formation, which feared the Tiger and Par Army the most, appeared on the battlefield. Looking down from the air, thousands of Mongolian cavalry, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, quickly pierced the tiger and leopard army.

The Tiger and Par Army, which was still three miles away, stopped when they saw the Mongols in action.

After all, among the 5,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army commanded by Wang Feng, less than half of them really belonged to the cavalry.

Such a group of infantry on war horses and the real cavalry of the Mongols were strangled together, and these musketeers who had worked so hard to train themselves would become the targets of the Mongols' slaughter.

Besides, even if all the 5,000 soldiers under his command were cavalry, in the absence of superior terrain and superior troops, Wang Feng did not dare to go head-to-head with the elite Mongolian cavalry.

Therefore, as soon as the Mongolian cavalry was dispatched, the 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Army stopped advancing under Wang Feng's order, preparing to use their firearms advantage to meet the attack of the Mongolian cavalry on the spot.

However, when he held up the monoculars. After seeing the attacking formation of the Mongol cavalry clearly. A hint of solemnity. Then it comes to the face. This is because the cone-shaped offensive formation that the Mongol cavalry has formed is precisely the offensive formation that is most unfavorable to itself and cannot exert the power of the musket to the fullest.

However, now that the Mongols had already begun their counteroffensive, this battle could not be avoided.

The only thing that worried Wang Feng was that in the face of the cone-shaped attack formation of the Mongolian cavalry, he commanded 5,000 soldiers. I will definitely pay a heavy loss far beyond my imagination.

After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice to the four regiment commanders who had quickly gathered around him.

"Everyone has seen the situation of the Mongols, three miles of attack distance, the Mongols can attack in front of us in the blink of an eye. So, Ben will make a long story short...."

"The Mongol cavalry adopted the most unfavorable cone-attack formation, and no matter how advanced our muskets were, it was impossible to hold them in front of the position. Therefore, the two cavalry regiments, at a critical moment, must rush forward. strangled with the Mongols...."

"The general ordered: two regiments of muskets, immediately dismount and form a formation... As soon as the Mongol cavalry rushed into musket range. Shoot right away and fight back... The effective range of the flintlock musket is one hundred and fifty paces, and when the enemy cavalry rushes eighty paces in front of the musket formation, each musketeer can fire at least two rounds of buckshot..."

"Two regiments of cavalry, defending the two flanks of the musket formation... As long as the Mongol cavalry rushes into eighty paces, they will immediately attack....attack the Mongol cavalry from both flanks....How to fight, you two regiment commanders know better than Ben General, Ben General will not say much...."

"Start preparing right away..."

"Obey the general's orders..."The four regiment commanders replied loudly with a firm face.

The charging distance of three miles can definitely be called fleeting for a Tartar who has been on horseback since childhood.

When the mighty Mongol cavalry was only 200 steps away from the Tiger and Leopard Army, more than 2,800 musketeers from the two musket regiments finally finished the formation. Pingduan held a flintlock musket in his hand and waited quietly for the Mongol cavalry to come into range.

Two hundred steps....one hundred and eighty steps....one hundred and fifty steps...

The unstoppable Mongol cavalry had just entered the range of muskets when a loud shout rang out in the middle of the musket array.

"A battalion of muskets... Shooting ......"

The sound of gunshots like popping beans, like firecrackers, quickly rang out on the battlefield.

Thousands of lead bullets, wrapped in flames, quickly flew out of the chamber of the gun, forming an impenetrable storm of steel in front of the military formation. Then, with a whistling sound, he flew towards the Mongol cavalry.

If these Mongol cavalry in front of them were to shoot the fan-shaped offensive formation used by Dolgon at the beginning, under the blow of thousands of lead bullets in front of them, not to mention heavy losses, it would still be possible to lose two or three hundred cavalry at one time.

However, in the face of the cone-shaped attack formation of the Mongol cavalry, the results achieved by these lead bullets were very limited....

With the sound of gunfire, among the dense Mongolian cavalry, less than fifty cavalrymen fell after a full fight. The stormy buckshot slashed off one of the cone-shaped tips of the Mongol cavalry formation just under the disappointing gaze of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Just when the second round of gunfire fired by the Tiger and Leopard Army rang out on the battlefield, the tip of the cone-shaped military formation that had just been cut off by lead bullets appeared on the battlefield again... The second round of buckshot fired by the Tiger and Par Army also caused only fifty or sixty losses to these skilled Mongolian cavalrymen......

Although this situation was expected by Wang Feng, when it actually appeared on the battlefield, it was still stunned. Because, such a small result in front of him is almost unprecedented since the formation of the Musketeers of the Haw Par Army.

However, in the face of the Mongol cavalry that was getting closer and closer to him, the only thing Wang Feng could do was to command the musketeers under his command to kill as many Mongolian cavalry as possible and reduce the pressure that the cavalry troops were about to face.

The musketeers, who were constantly reloading and shooting on the battlefield, also seemed to feel the tension and grim atmosphere of the battlefield.

Under the shroud of this atmosphere, their rate of fire became faster than ever.

When the unstoppable Mongol cavalry rushed to eighty paces, these musketeers under the command of Wang Feng unexpectedly fired three rounds of lead bullets at the enemy...

Three rounds for one person, three-stage shooting is nine rounds ....

Under the blows of these violent storms, the losses of the Mongol cavalry in each round were small, but, in total, the nine rounds together amounted to a staggering five or six hundred people...

Outwardly, the offensive formation of the Mongol cavalry remained unchanged. But behind these Mongol cavalry. A thick layer of corpses has fallen. There are Mongols. There are also their war horses.

Not only that, but the fighting spirit of these Mongols has also been consumed a lot in this round of blows.

If it weren't for the fact that these Mongols still had their families to protect, and they didn't have much military discipline, they might have collapsed on the battlefield.

At this time, the shooting of the musketeers still did not stop. However, the two wings of the musket array were ready for two thousand cavalry. Had to start moving....

Kicked the war horse under the crotch with both legs, and under the drive of the war horse, it put on a fan-shaped attack formation completely different from the Mongolian cavalry, and quickly killed the Mongols who were getting closer and closer in front of him.

Two thousand ironclad cavalry roared, and the short-barreled flintlock muskets that had already been loaded with lead bullets were very skillfully raised by them with one hand....When the Mongolian cavalry that was getting closer and closer entered the firing range, a sneer crossed the corner of the mouth of the cavalry soldier, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, and shot the hot lead bullet out of the chamber and shot it at the Mongols who didn't even have leather armor...

Because the attack of two thousand cavalry came from both flanks. It was distributed parallel to the Mongol cavalry in the cone-shaped formation. So, the losses of the Mongols from two thousand buckshots. Directly up to a staggering 1,000 people.

However, although the results of the battle were great, the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army on the war horse could only fire this round of lead bullets.

After shooting the lead bullet in the chamber, the two thousand ironclad cavalry directly put away their muskets, and with the advantage of their own ironclad armor, they continued to approach the Mongols with the arrows fired at them by the Mongol cavalry.

Because the cavalry of the Haw Par Army has not yet reached the ability to control the war horse with two legs, they can only give up the powerful grenade that still requires two-handed cooperation and lighting the fire rope.

However, the grenade was abandoned, and the throwing gun, which only needed one hand to throw, was already in their hands without realizing it.

After withstanding the arrows fired by the Mongol cavalry towards the miracle, the distance between the two cavalry has been shortened to an astonishing thirty paces....

According to the charging distance of the two armies, at most ten seconds, the two cavalry will crash together.

At this moment, the two thousand ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army, directly with the help of the cavalry charging speed, raised the throwing spear with one hand, and violently forward, throwing it out...

In an instant, a rain of spears, consisting of two thousand guns, flew towards the enemy with a whistling sound ....

There is no doubt that the roaring rain of guns once again caused hundreds of casualties among the dense Mongol cavalry.

In the face of various blows from the Tiger and Leopard Army, the number of Mongol cavalry has been sharply reduced to less than 2,000 men.

However, these two thousand cavalry were the elite cavalry on their horses. And the two thousand ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, except for the excellent equipment, do not have the slightest advantage in any other aspect.

However, in front of the enemy, the two thousand ironclad cavalry still raised their sabers high, and the blades forward, with an invincible posture, rushed towards the Mongols, who were also preparing for a battle to the death...

"Bang bang bang... Ahhhh

With a deafening roar resounding on the battlefield, the two cavalry crashed into each other. Then, the crisp sound of metal clashing, the screams of soldiers, the neighing of war horses... began to sound on the battlefield.

Just like the bloody battle with the white flag, with the advantage of protection....

In the first round of the two cavalry, the 2,000 ironclad cavalry, with only a loss of more than 300 people, killed and wounded the 800 cavalry who rushed to him in front of him......

However, the next fight became confusing.

"Kill..."As the deafening shouts of killing resounded on the battlefield again, the two cavalrymen who turned their horses' heads collided again and fought together...

In this round of fighting, the Mongol cavalry, which had suffered heavy losses, had already seen the gap in protection between the enemy and us. Therefore, the Mongolian cavalry, who were on the ground on their horses, specially slashed their sabers at the face and neck of the tiger and leopard army, which were the most vulnerable to protection.

Therefore, after a round of fighting, the losses of the two cavalry of the enemy and us reached as many as 400 people.

Facing the cavalry, whose battlefield losses had reached one-third, Wang Feng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

You must know that these cavalry soldiers, but the seeds for the future expansion of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, without exception, are all trained by Zhao Yun's hard work.

If the loss is too great, even if Da Shuai and Zhao Yun can forgive themselves, they can't forgive themselves.

After glancing at the enthusiastic musketeers around him, Wang Feng had to make a very difficult decision.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered the commanders of the two musket regiments under his command: "Immediately Mingjin....order the cavalry to retreat...."

"After the cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, we musketeers met it..."

The cavalry retreated, and the Mongols, who engaged the cavalry, suffered the same heavy losses. However, they did not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the victory.

Therefore, as soon as the remaining 1,300 or so cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army turned to retreat, the Mongolian cavalry, which had less than 1,000 men left, brandished their sabers and chased after them with a roar.

Facing the two cavalry that were less than fifty paces apart from each other on the battlefield, Wang Feng's already tightly knit brows furrowed even deeper.

Because, the fifty paces charging distance is exactly within the effective range of the Mongols' cavalry shooting.

Wang Feng, who was holding a monocular, even saw that some of the Mongols had given up their sabers and raised their longbows, preparing to shoot the retreating cavalry soldiers with arrows.

At the critical juncture, Wang Feng could only ruthlessly order the musketeers to attack, relying on flesh and blood to block the Mongol pursuers.

Although he knew that it was impossible to stop the Mongol cavalry fifty paces away by relying only on the firearms in his hand.

The remaining more than 1,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army had just passed through the gap of more than ten steps between the two musket formations, and the musket formation composed of the two musket regiments had already quickly approached, forming a thick meat shield in front of the Tatar cavalry.

Faced with the musketeers who suddenly appeared in front of them, the Mongol cavalry was full of shock. However, the speed of their pursuit did not slow down in the slightest.

Because they believed that with the impact of the cavalry troops, it was absolutely possible to penetrate the musket formations that stood in front of them with lightness.

The Mongol cavalry rushed towards them without flinching, and the hot expressions on the faces of nearly 3,000 musketeers were slowly replaced by nervousness.

After all, their usual training is long-range shooting, and they have hardly ever had the experience and training to engage at such close range.

At this time, the sudden order issued by the officer next to them slowly calmed down their nervous hearts, and they began to execute the order in an orderly manner...

"One battalion of musketeers, shoot forward ....two battalions of musketeers, two battalions of three and three, grenades ready ..."

After the sound of gunfire, a thousand buckshot bullets whistled out of the barrel of the gun, and for the first time, the Mongols achieved more than 100 casualties due to the slightly scattered pursuit formation of the Mongols.

However, in the face of the cavalry close at hand, the lead bullets that the musketeers could shoot were only this round.

Because, the Mongolian cavalry galloping on horseback had already charged thirty paces away....almost in the blink of an eye, they could rush in front of them and slash at themselves with their bright sabers... (To be continued......)
