Chapter 60: This Is the Man (Collect!) )

"Since there is no way to live, why can't you die on the battlefield like a man."

"The Tartars also carry a head on both shoulders, and they don't have one more life than us. Give me the same as a man, puff up my chest, and die standing to die. You're men, not cowards, and you're not......"

As the last few rants from Wei Zheng began to echo in everyone's minds, the look of despair on the musketeer's face was finally replaced by determination.

The hands that clenched the arquebuses no longer trembled, and they stared at the Tartar attacking troops hundreds of paces away. Because they all understand that there is no other way out at this moment, and only by fighting to the end can they fight to the death.

Just then, the Tartar moved......

A bull record of three hundred Tartar cavalry slowly walked out of the phalanx. As the roar of horses' hooves against the ground grew louder and louder, so did the cavalry's charge.

From the beginning of the slow march to a trot, and then from the trot to the gallop......

Soon, the offensive formation of more than 300 Tartar cavalry was shrouded in thick dust raised by the horses' hooves.

When the shock brought by the cavalry charge to everyone trembled, and it really reached Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng's face quickly showed a burning and expectation from the heart.

He shouted at the musketeers beside him: "Brothers, the Tartar cavalry is here, immediately reload the arquebus and light the arquebus." Musketeers with new muskets, in platoons, ready to shoot.

In the past two days, the base in the mountains has again sent Wei Zheng 40 new arquebuses and 4,000 rounds of fixed mini ammunition.

So, at this moment, the musket battalion already has a brigade equipped with new arquebuses.

Under the orders of Wei Zheng, the first musket team, equipped with new arquebuses, stood behind the earthen wall in platoons and fired three-stage shots at the tartars.

At the last three hundred paces of the defensive line, the speed of the three hundred Tartar cavalry had increased to the maximum. It was like an unstoppable torrent of steel, quickly slamming into the barbs of the repulsive horses that he had placed two hundred paces in front of his position.

Just as the hands of his subordinates holding the arquebus became trembling again, and under the illumination of the sparks produced by the burning of the arquebus, beads of sweat also flowed down their foreheads because of nervousness.

The Tartar cavalry, who charged quickly, did not accidentally slow down their horses before rejecting them.

The dense barbs of the rejection of horses are arranged in a row of three battles, with an interval of one zhang between the left and right, and two battles between the front and back, which are staggered and arranged, layer upon layer.

If the Tartar cavalry continued to ram into the pikes at the speed of their charge, even if they followed the barbs of the first row of repulsors and rushed into the dense repulsion formation. It is impossible for a cavalry charging at high speed to react in the blink of an eye, quickly turn the horse's head, and turn into another barb gap that rejects the horse.

Of course, even if the Tartar cavalry reacted, it was impossible for the galloping horses to react in just one kilometer.

As long as the speed of the Tartar cavalry rushing into the horse rejection formation does not decrease, Wei Zheng can confidently say: The barbs that have been deeply rooted in the ground will definitely be able to pierce the Tartar cavalry on their backs.

The Tartar cavalry, who approached the rejection formation, first tried the barbs blocking the horse in front of them with their horse traps to see if they could knock them down. After confirming that it was impossible to pull it out of the ground, it had to slow down its horse before entering the layers of horse rejection formations and advancing in the direction of the earthen wall at the speed of an infantry attack.

"Two hundred steps, it's finally ......" Wei Zheng, who was full of anticipation for the new arquebus, shouted loudly in his heart.

Then, he shouted an order to the ninety musketeers who were already on standby in front of him.

"The first row of new musketeers, shooting ......"

A crisp explosion sounded along the line of the earthen wall, and the thick white smoke from the burning of black powder quickly gushed out from the barrels ......of thirty arquebuses, enveloping the musketeers.

Wei Zheng, who was guarding the position, was not in the mood to look at the position that had been shrouded in white smoke, but immediately shifted his gaze to the Tartar attacking troops in front of him.

The arquebus gunfire rang out, and Wei Zheng seemed to clearly see the thirty buckshot bullets fired by the arquebus, and flew towards the oncoming Tartar cavalry with a whistling sound.

Thirty parabolic shots of lead bullets flew farther and farther, and when they were about to fly to the end, a meat shield composed of Tartar soldiers and war horses finally appeared in front of the lead bullets.

The lead bullet with great energy seemed to pierce through a layer of white paper, lightly penetrating the leather armor of the tartars and the thick skin of the war horse, and entering their bodies.

In an instant, beautiful blood flowers bloomed from the bullet holes.

As for the lead bullet that was fired into the target's body, because of the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature, and it was hit. The already fragile buckshot burst directly, causing a second wound on the body of the Tartar and the war horse.

On the surface, the Tartar and the warhorse have only a finger-sized blood hole in their bodies. However, almost all of the internal organs of the body around the blood hole were destroyed at this moment.

Therefore, the Tartar who was hit by lead bullet did not even have time to react, so he instantly lost his strength and fell off the back of the war horse.

As for the war horse that was hit by the lead bullet, it also fell to the ground with a loud roar.

The bag cavalry on the war horse, if lucky, can be thrown on the flat ground by the horse's back under the action of inertia. If you are unlucky, you will be thrown directly by the war horse to the barbs of the surrounding rejection horses under the action of inertia, and pierce the body of the Tartar.

The three Tartar cavalrymen were directly hit by a rain of bullets, fell off their horses and fell to the ground and turned into corpses...

The war horses of the two Tartars were hit by a rain of bullets, and they were thrown off the horses, their lives and deaths were uncertain, and they temporarily lost their combat effectiveness.

Seeing this result, Wei Zheng couldn't help but exclaim excitedly: "Well fought....kill five Tartar cavalry in one round of shooting, the range and power of the new arquebus are really not blown..."

"The second platoon of the 1st musketeers, shoot right away...... The third platoon is ready to shoot......"

As soon as Wei Zheng's roar sounded, behind the earthen wall that stretched for dozens of steps, there was a dense rain of bullets again.

Shots rang out, and several Tartar cavalrymen who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground without accident and turned into corpses.

At this moment, Wei Zheng's voice full of excitement came out of his mouth again: "Five more Tartars....brothers, this is the real man....just fight like this, the Tartars are also human flesh, a lead bullet can still kill them....The third row of musketeers, shoot immediately....The first row of musketeers are ready to shoot......
