Chapter 825: A Strong Man Breaks His Wrist
Looking at the Tartars who were quickly rushing towards the cavalry under his command on the battlefield, Luo Jingshan, the commander of the cavalry division, had his first reaction of being happy.
However, this joy did not last long, and was overshadowed by solemnity.
Then, with a gloomy face, he said to himself: "The general of this Tartar army is very sensible......" "On the surface, the result of the hedge between the infantry and the cavalry must be a victory for the cavalry." However, this is only a victory, and the cavalry, who are good at attacking, simply has no way to stop the Tartars who are rushing and wipe them all out here......" "Our cavalry attack formation is too thin, and there is no way to stop and block them with muskets. As soon as the two forces collided together, the Tartars could easily penetrate our cavalry formation and break through the encirclement. “
"It is necessary to immediately adjust the disposition, draw a force, block behind the second regiment, use the musket formation, drag the Tartars that break through the cavalry formation, and give the cavalry time to turn to pursuit. Otherwise, our desire to exterminate these Tartars will be in vain......"
"The order was given, and the guard battalion was immediately assembled, and if one company was assembled, one company would come...... Here, dismount and form a musket formation, drag the Tartars protruding from the encirclement, and I will wipe them all out here......"
When the hundreds of cavalry of the guard battalion began to assemble, 3,000 Tartars and more than 2,000 iron cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army had already collided fiercely.
There is no doubt that the one who suffered at the beginning must be the Tartar who gave up his war horse.
In just the blink of an eye, there were more than two hundred Tartars on the scene, and before they had time to raise the cold weapon in their hands, the war horses that were rushing towards them quickly were moving with unprecedented kinetic energy. Knock them into the air......
And this. This is only the beginning of this massacre......
After blocking the powerful momentum of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army at the cost of hundreds of soldiers killed. The faces of the remaining Tartars immediately showed an expression of the rest of their lives.
Then, he rushed into the cavalry formation of the Tiger and Leopard Army, raised his saber high, and planned to cut down the horses of the high cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
However, what disappointed them was.
They reacted quickly, however, the cavalry of the Tiger and Panther Army reacted even faster.
The cavalry of the Haw Par Army on horseback had not yet made contact with them. He had already raised his saber high, and under the tremendous inertia of the cavalry charge, he made a downward slashing motion at any time.
At the moment when the Tartar and him staggered, the snowy saber with the sound of the wind directly slashed down at them unexpectedly......
A flash of sword light flashed, and the Tartars who rushed into the cavalry formation, and as soon as they raised their sabers, a bloody mark appeared on their necks.
Then the Tartar was filled with shock and despair. Fall to the ground.
So, in the blink of an eye. More than 300 Tartars were cut down to the ground with sabers by the cavalry of the Haw Par Army.
And it was only at this time that the speed advantage possessed by the cavalry was offset by the Tartars with more than six hundred lives.
Subsequently, the remaining more than 2,000 Tartars were mixed up with more than 2,000 cavalry.
However, in front of the cavalry of the Haw Par Army, which has a high superiority. For every cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army who was cut off by the Tartars, at least two Tartars fell on the battlefield and were buried with him.
If this battle continues like this, it is certain that it will not be long before the remaining 2,000 people of the Tartars will be completely slaughtered.
Although the total annihilation of the Tartar army may have caused almost a thousand casualties to the Haw Par Army. However, this result is definitely not what Aobai wants to see.
In Ao Bai's eyes, with the continuous loss of a large number of strong men, the name of every Houjin warrior on the battlefield in front of him is priceless.
Even if he exchanged the lives of two tigers and leopards for one of them, Ao Bai would not do it.
Because, if these elites are lost, they will be completely gone...... In the future, Jin's current national strength is to wait for another ten years, and there will not be enough young and strong people to form such an elite iron cavalry.
However, the Haw Par Army is different, with the huge population base of the Han people, no matter how many elites are lost on the battlefield, they can be replenished in a very short time. When the time comes, it will only take a period of training, and another elite unit will appear on the battlefield.
Therefore, since the expedition, Ao Bai has held the same idea as his subordinates: to bring the maximum benefit at the lowest cost......"
The only difference is that, as a general, Ao Bai thinks about the casualties of the entire army. Niu Lu Zhangjing, on the other hand, considered the casualties of his own clansmen......
Therefore, when the two armies were fighting with all their might on the battlefield, Ao Bai was shuttling back and forth on the battlefield with his henchmen, while roaring and ordering his subordinates to quickly break out of the battle and break through......
In this way, under the deliberate dodging of the Tartars, the fight that could have lasted forever ended with less than a thousand casualties among the Tartars,
When Ao Bai took less than half of the soldiers under his command, he finally broke through the interception of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and prepared to rush to the recess where he hid his war horse. Two companies of the guard battalion, almost three hundred musketeers, had formed an impenetrable musket formation in front of them.
As soon as more than a thousand Tartars rushed into the range of muskets, the sound of bean-like gunfire began to ring out on the battlefield.
More than a dozen Tartars, who rushed to the front and were covered in blood, were shot and fell to the ground before they could react.
"Haw Par Army, there are Haw Par Army musketeers in front to intercept it, at least three or four hundred people......" Ao Bai, who heard the gunshots, was just about to rush to the front, trying to figure out what was going on, when he exclaimed in despair, and it had already reached his ears from the soldiers in front......
Faced with the sudden change in front of him, Ao Bai, who had made a decision to kill, did not think about it and ordered: "Go around the left flank of the Tiger and Par Army musket formation...... Hurry up, we must get the war horse immediately, otherwise, everyone will die here......" As soon as Ao Bai's words were finished, another exclamation sounded behind him......
"General, it's too late, the cavalry of the Haw Par Army is chasing after you......"
More than 2,000 cavalrymen, who had already made a U-turn on the battlefield, were wielding their sabers and chasing them at an increasing speed.
There is no doubt that Obai, which had just broken through the encirclement, once again fell into a dangerous situation of interception in front and chasing troops behind.
At this time, Ao Bai was already sure that at this moment, only by taking advantage of the night to disperse and break through could more subordinates survive the front and rear attacks of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Therefore, he was resolute and ordered without thinking about it: "Disperse and break through, and assemble in the secret camp...... Disperse ...... now"
After speaking, Ao Bai got on a tiger and leopard army war horse that the guards had snatched from the battlefield of the battle, and rushed towards the left flank of the musket array of the guard battalion without the slightest hesitation with dozens of personal guards who also owned war horses......
As for the more than 1,000 subordinates, looking at Ao Bai who was leaving, they immediately reacted.
More than a thousand people, with more than a thousand different curses, quickly scattered around, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the vast night. (To be continued......)
