The mighty convoy moved forward again for almost an hour. A faint roar, like a dull thunder, suddenly reached Qin Yong's ears.

Then, Qin Yong, who was riding on a war horse, felt the trembling of the ground under his feet.

The guards guarding Qin Yong's side subconsciously lay on the ground, and put their ears to the ground, listening to something very carefully.

Soon, this officer, who was shouldering the rank of lieutenant, jumped up from the ground and reported anxiously to Qin Yong.

"Division commander, it's cavalry, large-scale cavalry, judging from the voice, this cavalry is definitely more than eight thousand, and there are only three miles left from us, Division Commander Ring is ready to meet it immediately."

As soon as the lieutenant finished speaking, an ensign of the scout company rushed over.

Before the person rushed in front of Qin Yong, a slightly frightened report came out of the second lieutenant's mouth.

"Division commander, urgent military situation, more than 8,000 Tartar iron cavalry, are attacking us......"

Hearing this, Qin Yong's calm face quickly flashed an imperceptible sneer.

Under the gaze of his subordinates, he ordered without thinking: "Order, the whole army will immediately meet the battle according to the predetermined plan......"

One by one, the heralds rode their horses, and after quickly spreading the order, the convoy, which had just been advancing forward, stopped directly.

At the same time, a quiet and heavy car was quickly surrounded by the tiger and leopard army guarding the cart. Of course, the soldiers of the Haw Par Army, who had just dispersed, had gathered together at this moment. And relying on the circular defense line formed by the cart, it is ready to meet the battle.

Several circles have been formed on the official road. Especially when the hundred carts loaded with soldiers were almost all placed in a circle in front of the Haw Par Musketeers. The vast and overwhelming Tartar Iron Rider finally appeared in front of everyone.

More than eight thousand tartars. A team of 500 people, a total of more than a dozen charging formations, like a dozen sharp arrows, at a very fast speed, from different directions, pierced towards the tiger and leopard army on the official road.

In the blink of an eye. The distance between the two armies was shortened from one mile to more than 100 paces.

Facing the Tartars who had already rushed into range, the Haw Par Army did not hesitate to raise their muskets and pull the trigger.

After the sound of gunfire sounded on the battlefield, under the sweep of almost two thousand buckshots, hundreds of Tartars rushed to the front. It was like hitting an impregnable copper wall, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

These Tartars, who were shot and fell off their horses, did not have time to react at all in the process of rapid charge, and were trampled into pulp by the war horses that charged later, and not even a complete corpse was left.

Dense gunfire rang out round after round on the battlefield. However, the official road that the Haw Par Army needs to defend is too long after all. It's almost three miles away. In addition, the Tartars directly divided into more than a dozen offensive formations and launched an attack at the same time.

The limited Haw Par Army has taken care of this side. will ignore that side.

Soon, the Tartars, who had lost thousands of iron horsemen, rushed to a distance of less than fifty paces from the official road.

On this section of the official road, especially where two hundred baggage wagons were defended but only one regiment in strength, the mighty Tartars had even rushed to a distance of less than thirty paces from the official road.

It was in these Tartars that they began to raise their bows. When preparing to shoot arrows at the Tiger and Par Army on the official road. The unexpected happened.

Just now, the 2,000 tiger and leopard army that was fighting to the death and not retreating was like a frightened rabbit. Directly gave up the baggage dà car that he protected, and fled after thinking about it with a wolf face. Moreover. Some of the Haw Par soldiers even threw away their muskets, which they had endured on the battlefield, and fled the official road empty-handed, running towards the main force protecting the grain trucks.

Faced with this situation, the more than 5,000 Tartar iron horsemen who launched the attack, although they were very different, did not take these accidents into account.

Because, at this moment, they have been attracted by the two hundred baggage carts and hundreds of muskets abandoned by the Haw Par Army.

In order to capture more muskets and ammunition, these Tartar cavalry were happy to see the wolves of their prey, and pounced directly on the official road, without any intention of continuing to pursue the fleeing troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

Soon, thousands of Tartar horsemen gathered on the official road that stretched for several miles.

Some of them scrambled for muskets discarded by the Haw Par Army on the official road, and some kept wandering around the baggage cart, guessing what good things were loaded on the baggage cart. What's more, jump off the war horse directly, climb on the baggage car, and check the specific situation of the baggage car.

Just when all the Tartars were attracted by these booty. They did not realize that a fire rope hidden in the middle of the baggage cart was sparkling with a very glaring spark, and that this fire rope, which was about to burn to the end, was actually inserted in a huge explosive bag. As for the explosives pack, there are piles of rubble of all kinds, even iron slag......

"Boom......" A violent explosion sounded like thunder on the official road.

Tartar, who was taken aback by this explosion, subconsciously looked at the official road. An orange-red fireball had already risen from a baggage truck on the official road.

At the same time, the scorching air waves, mixed with countless gravel and iron slag, swept away at a very high speed.

The deputy division commander was not wrong, twenty pounds of explosives and the power of gravel were definitely not covered.

The moment the explosion sounded, the Tartar Iron Rider located around the cart fell to the ground as if their legs had been cut off in an instant, and their life and death were uncertain.

As far as the eye can see, with the baggage dà car as the center, none of the tartars within a radius of seven or eight battles are standing.

The other Tartars on the official road, in the face of the sudden changes in front of them, had excited facial expressions just now, but at this moment, they were directly covered by shock. stared blankly at the tragic picture after the explosion in front of him, and couldn't react for a long time.

However, at this moment, there is no time and opportunity for them to react.

At the moment when the first baggage truck exploded, the explosive packs on the other 200 baggage vehicles exploded one after another, as if they had been discussed.

Soon, the official road stretched for several miles. It was covered in fireballs and gunsmoke that rose into the air one after another.

In this series of explosions, the first to react was, of course, the Tartar generals who stood in the rear and watched the battle and did not participate in the attack.

When he saw the Haw Par Army guarding the baggage car, he actually gave up the baggage. When they fled without a fight, and could hardly see the familiar figure of the tiger and leopard army from them, the Tartar commander had a very bad premonition in his heart.

But in the face of victory at hand. The Tartar Lord didn't take this premonition too seriously.

However, the sudden sound of the first explosion on the official road directly brought up this bad premonition in his heart again, and it became more and more intense. In particular, there were explosions one after another on the official road, as if there was no end. Keep reaching the back of the ear.

This bad premonition quickly formed an idea in the mind of the main general.

"Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy of the Haw Par Army against themselves and against the soldiers under their command......"

Thinking of this, the eyes of the Tartar master directly turned red.

He commanded loudly to the subordinates around him who had also not reacted from their stunned eyes because of the changes in front of him.........

"What are you doing? We've got it...... Retreat, immediately retreat to Mingjin......"

After the battlefield that stretched for several miles was calm again, the thick smoke of gunpowder shrouded the official road. It also dissipated completely.

At a glance, the more than 200 heavy cars that were parked on the official road just now have become shapeless parts, scattered very messily on the official road.

At the same time, on the official road that stretches for several miles. Almost every five or six battles, there was a crater more than three feet deep. Centered on the crater. Within the seven or eight battles around, there was almost a whole layer of corpses. There are Tartar soldiers, and there are Tartar horses......

Looking at the tragic scene on the official road a few miles away, the face of the Tartar general turned red directly because of anger.

Staring at a pair of eyes that could almost be used to kill, he scolded loudly: "Cunning tiger and leopard army, I must kill you all...... Adjutant General, haven't the casualties been counted yet, I want to know our casualties in the explosion just now......"

In the cursing sound of the Tartar general, a Tartar general finally walked in front of the main general with a sweaty head and a solemn face.

Facing the eyes of the main general who could almost kill, he reported in a low voice: "General, the casualties, the minions have been counted......"

"So far, of the 10,000 iron horsemen we set out with the yellow flag, there are a total of 3,455 warriors left to continue fighting. The horses also lost two-thirds of their ......"

The Tartar commander with an angry face said directly: "That is to say, in the attack just now, we didn't even see the shadow of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and we lost 5,000 iron cavalry ...... with yellow flags."

"Yes, the general ......," the adjutant quickly replied. And meet the eyes of the main general, and continue to answer......

"Of the 5,000 warriors lost, more than 600 were killed by the Haw Par Army muskets during the attack on the Haw Par Army food truck. As for the remaining more than 4,000 warriors, all of them died in the explosion just now. ”

"Of the more than 5,000 warriors who attacked the remaining 200 wagons of the Haw Par Army, less than 1,000 of them did not come back in the end, and almost all of them were wiped out......

The remaining 3,000 people of the Tartars, from top to bottom, were overwhelmed by a kind of low morale and lost their direction for their future.

The Tiger and Par Army's position, which was still guarding around the grain truck, erupted in cheers full of blood and excitement.

Because, they used this battle to create a miracle for the Haw Par Army again.

With less than 100 casualties, under the condition that the troops were not dominant and the terrain was not dominant, they successfully eliminated the elite of the 5,000 Houjin.

Looking at the subordinates around with blood boiling, looking at the remnants of the Tartars a few miles away, there was still no sign of retreat. The division commander Qin Yong did not let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs.

Although he knew that in front of the Tartar cavalry, his next attack and pursuit might not achieve any results. However, Qin Yong still gave the order to attack.

Thousands of murderous tigers and leopards rushed out of the official road like tigers descending from the mountains, holding their muskets, and rushed towards the Tartars parked a few miles away. (To be continued)
