To be able to leave a name in Chinese history and step by step on the road of a powerful minister, he is destined to worship a brave and resourceful Houjin military general.

Therefore, after making the decision to destroy the 500 Tiger and Leopard Army, Xibai did not immediately order his cavalry to attack.

I have seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army many times.

The combat effectiveness of the Houjin Iron Cavalry, especially the impact power, is very strong, though. However, with the interception of the Haw Par muskets, these are fake. Because, no matter how fast the impact is, it can't block the blow of a fingertip-sized lead bullet.

Therefore, the rational worship would rather give up some time than minimize the casualties of some warriors under his command as much as possible.

A thousand tartars, abandon the war horse, use the logs and branches around him, and start to make a simple shield.

In the eyes of the worship, these shields could not stop the muskets from firing at close range. However, at a distance, it still has a certain effect.

With these rudimentary and crude shields, the offensive distance of the soldiers under his command will be shortened a lot......

After an hour of hard waiting, a thousand Tartars, all with shields in hand, appeared three hundred paces in front of the formation.

Facing a shield wall in front of him, which was completely composed of shields, although Chen Ming, the leader of the Tiger and Par Legion, was not afraid, his calm face still showed an unprecedented solemnity.

Because, from what the Tartars did in front of him, Chen Ming was already sure that the Tartar generals he was facing must be a very difficult opponent. Unlike some other Tartar generals, who have brute strength but no resourcefulness......

After taking a deep breath, he ordered to the battalion commanders of several companies around him: "Brothers. We're hitting a hard bone this time. But. Since we are here, no matter how hard the bone is, we will also break it and never let the North Koreans who are watching the battle behind see the joke......"

"You see, the Tartar attacking forces have one shield for each person, and with the cover of these shields, the effective range of our muskets must be reduced to at least a hundred paces...... Plus we have limited troops. After the Tartars have rushed to seventy or eighty paces, they can suppress and kill us with their bows and arrows...... Therefore, the first earthen wall could not stop them at all...... Even if we stop them, we will pay a huge price that we can't afford......"

As soon as Chen Ming's words were finished, the battalion commander opened his mouth and asked, "Regiment commander, what do you mean ......?"

"Use the three earthen walls on the battlefield to block the enemy in turn, killing and wounding them...... If it's possible. Leave them all on the battlefield directly......" Chen Ming replied without thinking about it.

At the same time, there is a hint of unprecedented strictness. also appeared on Chen Ming's face.

Facing the subordinates beside him who were eager to try, he ordered decisively......

"All musketeers, immediately enter the front-line position to stop the enemy...... When the enemy begins to counterattack with bows and arrows, immediately retreat to the second line of defense and continue to hold off the enemy......"

"There is a distance of 100 paces between the two earthen walls, and even if the Tartars occupy the first line of positions, if they do not continue to attack, they will not be able to help the musketeers who have retreated to the second line positions......"

"Of course, if the Tartars do not leave after occupying the front-line positions, so much the better. When the time comes, we can dig a trench between the two earthen walls, which will play a vital role......"

"The bombing platoons of the three musket companies, with grenades, were all hidden in the trenches. As soon as I received the order to counterattack, I threw all the grenades that I had brought with me, and all of them into a trench next to the earthen wall and a width of one zhang......"

"When the time comes, not to mention too much, five grenades per person will be enough for the Tartar attacking troops......"

Hundreds of Tiger and Leopard Army, when they hurriedly entered the position, the Tartars, who lined up in a dense offensive formation, also moved.

The shield wall, composed of shields, was like a huge chariot, slowly pushing towards the position of the Tiger and Par Army.

At this time, if the strength is still preserved, then there is no need......

Nine light mortars, one after another, roared and fired flowering shells at the dense Tartar formation.

On the battlefield, the explosion of flowering shells, although it continued to take the lives of one Tartar after another. However, such losses can clearly be called insignificant for a thousand Tartars.

The losses were less than a hundred, and the wall of shields in front of the Tartars went into the range of muskets.

As a result, the sound of gunshots like bursting beans began to sound on the battlefield, round after round, continuously......

Although the battlefield was lively, the results were not satisfactory.

Not to Chen Ming's surprise, at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the lead bullets fired from the muskets, without exception, were all nailed to the shield, and they could not hurt the tartars hiding behind the shield.

Unless one or two buckshot gets through the gap between the shields, there is no way to do anything to the tartars hiding behind the shield wall.

One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and thirty steps...... One hundred steps......

In the face of the Haw Par Musket, which seems to have suddenly lost its effectiveness on the battlefield, the Tartars, who have hardly paid any price, can be said to be more and more courageous the more they fight.

Encouraged by the victorious atmosphere on the battlefield, he rushed towards the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army at an increasing speed.

In their eyes, as long as they rushed forward thirty steps further, they could hide behind their shields and shoot the tigers and leopards in front of them with bows and arrows......

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel......

As the shield wall gets closer and closer to the battlefield, the whistling lead bullets are no longer as simple as embedding in the shield wall.

Instead, it pierced directly through the shield wall, and the aftermath was so powerful that it shot into the Tartar's body.

Soon, the Tartars, who were hiding behind the shield wall, began to suffer casualties, and the number of casualties increased......

However, the Tartars, who have already rushed here, will certainly not let go of the opportunity to counterattack in the face of close proximity.

Bearing casualties and stepping on the corpses of fallen comrades...... What's more, directly combine the two shields into one side and continue to attack.

When they can finally fight back, raise their longbows, and prepare to throw arrows. The losses have already exceeded two percent.

What's more, the gunfire, which had been continuous just now, suddenly stopped......

Through the gap between the shields, the figure of the Haw Par Army quickly retreated, and immediately appeared in front of the Tartars.

Faced with this unexpected picture, everyone was on the spot.

However, there are also some quick-response tartars.

Seeing the rapidly retreating Haw Par Army, he was excited, as if he had taken a stimulant, and shouted...... "Warriors, the Haw Par Army has been repelled by us, victory is in sight, continue to attack...... Kill...... Kill the ...... of the Tiger and Leopard Army"

As a result, there was such a scene on the battlefield......

The gunfire stopped, and the Haw Par musketeers retreated desperately. The Tartars, twice their size, followed behind and pursued desperately.

Soon, two earthen walls appeared in front of the Haw Par Musketeers and the Tartars...... (To be continued......) R1292
