Chapter 219: Retreat
The formation generated by the simultaneous charging forward of three thousand war horses can definitely be described in four words: the earth moving the mountains and shaking.
"Boom..."
As the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded on the battlefield, the three cavalry phalanxes composed of 3,000 ironclad cavalry quickly formed three unsheathed swords on the battlefield, and thrust into the rebel defense line with an unstoppable momentum.
For these rebels, who had not seen many battles, it was enough to shock the three thousand ironclad cavalry to attack together. However, the next scene, for them who were stunned, was not just shocked.
Three thousand sabers were unsheathed at the same time, and they were raised high by three thousand cavalrymen ...
The blade that emitted a cold light pointed directly at the rebels on the mountain beam... In addition, the iron armor on the three thousand cavalry was also illuminated by the sun, reflecting a dazzling cold light to the rebels on the mountain beam.
In the blink of an eye, the thousands of rebels guarding behind the stone wall were blinded.
The thousands of rebels who were already frightened by the cavalry charge were so pierced by the cold light that they couldn't open their eyes... In the face of a series of blows, the high morale that had just shrouded everyone's hearts was shattered in an instant.
Especially when everyone felt the trembling of the earth brought by the cavalry charge, the legs of some rebels had begun to tremble unconsciously.
Just when everyone held back the fear in their hearts, holding longbows and muskets, ready to block this torrent of steel with their own flesh and blood.
The ironclad cavalry, which had already charged to the foot of the mountain beam, surprisingly did not continue to attack.
Three thousand well-trained ironclad cavalry, as if they were the same person. As soon as he rushed to the foot of the mountain beam, he turned his horse's head.
Subsequently. Under the watchful eye of five thousand rebels. Quickly split into two, along the line at the foot of the mountain beam, and quickly rushed towards the two flanks of the battlefield. At the same time, 3,000 throwing guns, which also emitted the cold light of the forest, were also held in the hands of the soldiers.
When Zhao Yun, who rushed to the front, he was full of strength and threw the throwing gun in his hand behind the mountain beam. The 3,000 soldiers who followed suit. At the same time throw the gun in the hand.
In the blink of an eye, a dense rain of guns appeared in front of the rebels.
With a slight whistling sound, the spear slashed across the sky, slamming into the ground under the action of great inertia.
Soon, fifty paces in front of the rebel position, it was pierced into a forest of guns by 3,000 whistling guns......
Dense throwing guns, with the facts to tell the rebels on the mountain beams, if this rain of throwing guns is stuck on them. Even if they don't get thrown into a hornet's nest, they will be pierced with a bloody hole or two.
As a result, the ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army, which launched an attack on him, retreated. It only left the back of the rebels with a torrent of cavalry. But something happened to the rebels. But it has fallen to the bottom. Not only that, but every rebel felt a chill over the fierce combat effectiveness displayed by the Haw Par Army...
The rebel commander who was standing in the rear to watch the battle saw the thousands of ironclad cavalry attacking his subordinates, and the shock and fear in his heart were not much less than those of the soldiers under his command.
When the cavalry withdrew from the battlefield, the commander's forehead was already covered with cold sweat that was constantly flowing out of nervousness.
Under the gaze of the military advisors around him, he said with a look on his face: "Ironclad cavalry, today I finally saw the true power of the ironclad cavalry....If there is no terrain advantage, on the field battlefield, no matter how many troops we have, we will not be able to stop an attack by the ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army...... I really envy the Haw Par Army, when will we have a cavalry of our own...."
The military advisor shook his head and denied: "Great Shuai, the reason why the Tiger and Par Army can equip so many ironclad cavalry is because they come from outside the pass, whether it is a war horse or an iron armor, they are all captured Tartars. However, we are in the Guannei, not to mention us who only rely on plunder, even the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, it is difficult to see formed cavalry troops, let alone ironclad cavalry..."
"Besides, our immediate need is to get through this difficult time....as for the formation of cavalry, we can't start until we get out of here..."
The boss nodded, and after letting go of this whimsical idea in his heart that could hardly be realized, he asked the military advisor: "Military advisor, if you have anything to say, you don't need to hide it....you can rest assured, after seeing the ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army just now, I have prepared and prepared for the worst in my heart..."
"The handsome and wise," the worried military officer said with a long sigh of relief.
Then, under the gaze of the coach, he analyzed in a calm tone as calmly as possible: "Marshal, when the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army attacked, I guessed that this attack would definitely not be true. Because, the battle-hardened general army of Datong Mansion will definitely not be unaware that launching a feint attack on us with cavalry is tantamount to sending cavalry to death..."
"Therefore, I can say with certainty that the reason why the Haw Par Army launched this cavalry feint is only one purpose, to shock us and demoralize our army from the momentum and psychology..."
"Except for me, the 5,000 soldiers who are now holding the mountain beam have no morale at all under the deterrence of the 3,000 ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army."
"If we don't immediately find a way to improve the morale of the soldiers, once the Haw Par Army launches an attack on the mountain beam, the 5,000 soldiers with low morale are likely to collapse directly on the battlefield..."
At this moment, the commander, who already had a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Par Army, had already shown a solemn expression from the bottom of his heart, and said in agreement with the military advisor.
"The military advisor is right, the ironclad cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army is so powerful, and the infantry equipped with new muskets is definitely not far behind. Although the Haw Par Army only intends to send 1,000 infantry to attack us, this 1,000 infantry should not be underestimated. Strategist, what do you think? ”
Under the watchful eye of the commander, the military advisor did not hide his thoughts, directly shook his head, and replied helplessly: "Commander, the battle is about to break out, and in such a short period of time, I can't think of any solution...."
"So, this battle is about to happen, and we're going to lose it..."
"But, regardless of the end result, we have to leave ourselves a way out. If we really lose, we must withdraw as many soldiers as possible from the battlefield to reduce losses. and quickly sent henchmen to the Haw Par Army barracks to negotiate with the general soldiers of Datong Province and cooperate with them...... The two county towns of Huairen and San'in were ceded. (To be continued......)
