After the explosion of a thousand grenades in a row, the remaining three hundred musketeers of the Tartars, even if they did not die, had to shed their skin.

What's more, during the grenade explosion, the musketeers of the musket battalion continued to shoot lead bullets forward. Even if they dodged the grenade attacks around them, the dense lead bullets from the front still did not hesitate to take their lives.

Therefore, only a handful of Han Eight Banner musketeers used by Tartars to act as cannon fodder finally succeeded in breaking through the grenade interception. Even the few musketeers failed to break through the interception of muskets and lead bullets, and fell only a dozen steps away from the position of the Haw Par Army.

Of course, in this battle, the Tatar cavalry, with their very superb cavalry marks, inflicted almost 200 casualties on the musket battalion and even the remaining bombardiers.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tartars were about to face the grenade attack of the Tiger and Par Army and were about to start the final stage of the charge, they had to abandon the bow and hold the saber. Just the Tartar cavalry shooting can bring unpredictable results to the defending tiger and leopard army.

The musketeers of the Eight Banners of Han were all wiped out, and the distance between the two armies was only thirty paces. The battlefield of Nuoda finally turned into a duel between the Haw Par Army and the real Tartar cavalry.

Because the cavalry far outpaced the infantry's charging speed, the grenades thrown by the Haw Par Army exploded continuously.

However, the Tartar cavalry, which charged quickly, still had almost 400 people breaking through to intercept. Appears in front of the Haw Par Army.

Facing it is like a chariot. Unstoppable Tatar cavalry. Facing the Tartar held high. A saber that emits a cold glow. The musketeers at the front, even if they were well-trained, couldn't help but start to panic.

At this time, the division commander Xie Hui couldn't help but launch a ruthless attack, directly overtook a musket that had been loaded with lead bullets, and pulled the trigger without hesitation at the cavalry that was close at hand. And then, like an angry lion. Loud roar.

"What are you still doing, waiting to die? Shoot right away...... After shooting the buckshot, put a bayonet on the musket and prepare for hand-to-hand combat. ”

"Bombardier, don't stop, keep throwing grenades at the Tartars, you can kill one more Tartar, one more Tartar ......"

After three rounds of buckshot, the Tartar rushed directly to a position less than fifteen paces from the position.

When they saw the Haw Par Army close at hand, they had given up shooting, and everyone held their muskets aloft. It seems that he is ready to engage in a close-quarters fight with himself.

The faces of more than three hundred Tartar cavalrymen directly showed a fanatical expression of imminent killing.

In their eyes. As long as the Haw Pars lose their muskets, they will become lambs without any ability to resist, and they will be slaughtered by themselves.

Therefore, the remaining Tartars on the battlefield were as if they had taken stimulants, and rushed towards the tiger and leopard army without regard to it.

Fanaticism is fanaticism, and what the Tartars did not expect was that right before their eyes, a very deadly danger was approaching them step by step, leading them to the abyss of expectation.

Fifteen steps, twelve steps, ten steps......

The Tartar on the war horse, with a hot face, calculated the smaller and smaller distance between the two armies, thinking about when to swing his sword and cut the head of the tiger and leopard army.

The war horse under the crotch, as if the front leg was suddenly broken, suddenly lost its balance.

With a stinging neighing sound coming from the mouth of the war horse, the war horse, which had lost its balance, fell forward to the ground directly under the huge inertia of the rapid charge.

As for the Tartar cavalry on the war horse, although at the last moment, with their superb riding skills, they jumped off the war horse to avoid being pressed by the war horse. But the moment his feet hit the ground, a tingling pain spread from the soles of his feet all over his body.

When the tartar's gaze shifted to the soles of his feet, a spike of a horse nail had penetrated deeply into the soles of his feet. If you don't go in to love, a large stream of blood, like a flood that bursts the embankment, will continue to gush out from the muzzle of the gun.

With a painful expression on his face, the Tartar was so fierce that he pulled out the horse nail and scolded loudly: "Cunning Tiger and Par Army, I must kill you......"

With that, the Tartar dragged his injured right foot, raised his saber, and continued to kill the tiger and leopard army, who had only a few steps left.

However, what they did not expect was that the saber was on the war horse, although it had a lot of power. However, when he reaches the ground and loses the impact force, he will become an ordinary cold weapon that is not even as good as a broadsword.

What's more, the muskets and bayonets in the hands of the Haw Par Army were six feet long, and from a distance, they looked like spears with handles. The wounded and angry Tartar had just raised his saber and was about to slash at the neck of the tiger and leopard army. San Bing had already loaded the musket of the bayonet, and with the sound of the wind, it stabbed him in the chest.

The sharp bayonet, without encountering the slightest obstruction, directly broke through the flesh and pierced into his chest, making him instantly lose his combat effectiveness.

Pulling out the bayonet, the Tartar, who had lost his strength, seemed to fall apart all over, and fell heavily in front of the tiger and leopard army with despair and unwillingness before death.

At the same time, at least one hundred and fifty Tartar cavalrymen fell on the battlefield because of the nails of the horses.

If you are lucky, you can also rely on your riding skills to rush in front of the tiger and leopard army, have a close fight with the tiger and leopard army, and then die under the long bayonet of the tiger and leopard army.

If you are unlucky, you will be directly pressed to the ground by the war horse, or you will be injured by the ubiquitous horse nails, and there will be bursts of heart-rending screams on the battlefield.

In the face of more than 100 warriors who fell to the ground in an instant, the Tartar officers who had been following behind immediately understood that the Haw Par Army had arranged horse spikes in front of the position.

However, in the face of the close Haw Par Army, the Tartar officers could not bear to give up. In the end, impulse overcame reason, and shouted loudly at the remaining hundred or so cavalry around him.

"Warriors, it's a horse nail, don't be afraid. The warriors who died in battle have cleared the passage for us with their bodies. Keep killing me, rush into the Tiger and Leopard Army positions, and kill them all. Avenge the warriors who died in battle. ”

The order is given. The rest of the cavalry. Slap the horses again and launch a final charge against the Tiger and Par Army.

However, because of the horse nails, their charging speed directly decreased. If you forget it, it's just faster than the infantry charge.

Even then, of course, more than a hundred Tartar cavalry. It only took a blink of an eye to rush in front of the tiger and leopard army.

Holding his saber high, with the speed brought to him by the war horse under his crotch, he condescendingly slashed at the neck of a tiger and leopard army in front of him.

As the sharp blade got closer and closer to the neck of the tiger and leopard army, a sneer appeared directly on the face of the Dao Tartar.

However, to Tartar's surprise, he did not see the despair before death on the face of this tiger and leopard army, but instead saw a trace of eerie danger.

Just as Blade didn't hesitate to break through the skin, cutting a huge knife cut through the neck of the Tiger and Par Army. Accidents befell this Tartar directly.

When he launched an attack on the Haw Par Army in front of him, the Haw Par Army next to him did not miss the opportunity. Attack yourself directly.

Of course, because of the condescending reasons, the other party did not attack him, but plunged the bayonet into the neck of the war horse under the crotch.

The war horse, which was suddenly attacked and was very stung, jumped directly from the ground. And the Tartar cavalry on the war horse was caught off guard and was directly overturned by the war horse. Just when he subconsciously got up from the ground, ready to defend. Two shiny bayonets had already pierced his body.

More than a hundred Tartar cavalry, like chariots, slammed into the Tiger and Par Army formation. Either the front row of the Tiger and Leopard Army was overturned to the ground, or they were cut to the ground with sabers.

But, like the Tartars who had already died in battle, their luck was over.

Because, the charging speed was not very fast, and after being intercepted by the first row of Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers, it had completely lost its speed advantage and became an infantry on a war horse.

In this way, the Haw Par Army, which has the advantage of length, has a great advantage.

Often, when they swing their knives at the Tiger and Leopard Army, the bayonets of the Tiger and Leopard Army also pierce at them.

When more than 100 Tartar cavalry were wiped out, the defending musket battalion and bombardiers also paid the same number of casualties in this close battle.

The battle on one side ended, and the other three sides that were attacked at the same time also ended.

What made Xie Hui feel lucky was that two of the Tatar attacking troops faced the dense mixing of horse nails in front of the position of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and faced the direct death of more than 100 cavalry. Unexpectedly, they lost the courage to continue the fight and retreated directly, allowing the Haw Par Army to avoid a close-range fight with them.

Smelling the smell of blood and ease that had already spread in the air, Xie Hui's tense nerves finally relaxed.

However, when he saw the heavy casualties of his subordinates, his calm face became solemn again.

After taking a deep breath, he ordered to the deputy division commander beside him: "Immediately count the losses and treat the wounded." I'm going to know right away what we have left. ”

"Order the bombardiers, who still have the body, to quickly clean up the battlefield, collect the sabers of the Tartars, the corpses of the horses, all of them, and build a breastwall around us. Then put the captured Tartar's saber upside down on the battlefield, and together with our horse spikes, arrange a wider obstacle area to block the Tartar cavalry......"

Soon, the deputy division commander, who was also full of solemnity, came to Xie Hui's side.

Under Xie Hui's gaze, he replied in a heavy tone: "Division commander, the losses have been counted, the two musket battalions that fought with the Tartars suffered the greatest losses, almost two-thirds of the entire battalion, and the remaining two battalions also lost more than one-third. ”

"According to statistics, we lost two musket battalions in just one attack of the Tartars......"

Xie Hui seemed to have been prepared, and the expression on his face did not change much because of this number.

After taking a deep breath, he replied in a heavy tone......

"More than a thousand soldiers, just gone...... However, through the battle of Guò, we also regained a new understanding of the fighting power of the Tartars, and became clear about their determination to destroy us. ”

"Although we have suffered heavy losses, but, with the direct troops, we still have four musket battalions, three direct musket companies, plus artillery and ample ammunition, we will definitely be able to continue to hold and destroy these Tartar ......"

"So, from now on, we have to prepare for a new attack from the Tartars. The cunning Tartar will certainly not leave us much time to prepare.
