Throughout the course of the war, various changes can be described as endless. Under such circumstances, the face of the Tartar commander was also changing in various ways, just like the unpredictable weather.

When he witnessed the retreat of his soldiers rushing to the position of the Haw Par Army, and witnessing the scene of his iron cavalry entering the formation of the Haw Par Army and finally being wiped out. The ever-changing face finally fixed on a complex expression of solemnity and anger.

In his opinion, a battle that was sure to be fought ended in the almost total annihilation of the attacking troops. As long as it is a person, he will be very angry, and he will want to kill all the people who fled back from the battlefield to vent the anger and anger in his heart.

However, reason allowed him to suppress the anger that kept burning in his heart.

In the face of a strong enemy, every soldier under his command is very important. If you just kill the four or five hundred cavalry who have escaped. That is a very huge blow to the morale of the army, as well as to the strength and strength in his hands.

So, the Tartar lord held back. Then, with a gloomy face, he called the soldiers who had fled back, intending to know from them the whole process of the battle and why they had retreated from the battle.

The rambling of the subordinates will clearly show the battle process in front of the main general. The Lord's angry facial expression was first covered with solemnity, then with contemplation.

After a long tea time, he spoke: "In other words, the Haw Par Army surrounded by us." Deliberately hid strength. Not only are they armed with artillery that is far more numerous than we can imagine. Hand grenade. And around the position, a large number of mixed horse nails were secretly arranged. It is because of these horses and nails that you retreated in front of the position of the Tiger and Par Army. ā€

"Yes, General...... The minion assured that what he had just said was true, and that there was absolutely no falsehood...... "After the Tartar master said his judgment, several Tartar deserters seemed to have been discussed. Answer at the same time.

At this time, the deputy of Han Baqi, who was the commander of the Eight Banners beside him, affirmed with a cunning face......

"General, the minions are very supportive of your judgment. If it weren't for the general's proper tactics, commanding the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the Haw Par Army, forcing the Haw Par Army to expose all its hidden strength, we are still in the dark now, and we do not know the true strength of this Haw Par Army. ā€

"In addition, the minions also guessed that the Haw Par Army deliberately hid its strength in front of us. There must be something we don't know about, even a shady conspiracy directed against us. ā€

"In this case. The minions built yƬ, and before figuring out this conspiracy, they suspended the attack on this tiger and leopard army, and surrounded but did not fight. ā€

In the hearts of the Tartar lords, they very much agree with this idea. But because of the identity of the Han deputy, he not only did not open his mouth to express his approval, but said with a mocking face: "You Han people just like to use some conspiracy, and you have the ability to fight a head-on confrontation with the warriors of the Jin Army after me......"

"However, even if you have any conspiracy, Ben will use the methods of the Houjin Army to solve this conspiracy. Instead of what you just said, in the general's opinion, besieging without attacking not only cannot solve the problem, but also is a cowardly expression. ā€

Although the heart of the chief general was full of ridicule of himself, the deputy from the Han people did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction. Since he chose this path and decided to be a slave to the Tartars, he could only live in such a way.

After holding back the resentment in his heart, the deputy general continued to say with a flattering face to the main general beside him as if he hadn't heard the words just now: "The general is wise, but the slave is too timid. It's just, I don't know what the general said about the method? You must know that after the attack we have just attacked, we have only 5,500 cavalry, 4,000 musketeers, and a total strength of less than 10,000. ā€

After nodding his head with great satisfaction, the main general was just about to speak, and an exclamation reached the main general's ears.

"Look, what are the Haw Par Army doing?"

When the Tartar commander raised the monoculars, the remaining 3,000 soldiers of the two regiments of the Haw Par Army had already piled up the breastwork with the corpses of war horses under the command of their respective company commanders and even platoon commanders.

The 4,000 Tartar cavalry attacked, and excluding those who fled back and died on the way to the charge, only more than 2,000 could be found by the Tiger and Par Army.

More than 2,000 war horse corpses, if placed on the ground, can definitely be called a large piece of black pressing.

However, when they dispersed on all sides of the position and piled up into a breastwork against the cavalry, they became slightly inadequate.

In order to hold the position, destroy the Tartars who surrounded you. Although he knew that his next order was very cruel, even against the peace of heaven. The division commander Xie Hui still ordered with a murderous face: "Corpses, pile up the corpses of Tartars and traitors for me, and make sure that the height of the breastwork reaches four feet, otherwise, it will not work at all." ā€

"Also, give me the saber of the captured Tartar diagonally behind the breastwork, and fix it. As soon as the Tartar cavalry jumped over the breastwork, and nothing else, they would crash into these sabers. When the time comes, the sharp edge of the saber will definitely be able to easily cut off the legs and feet of the Tartar war horse, so that the Tartar war horse will lose its combat effectiveness......"

"In addition, the musket from which the traitor was captured was also used. A group of several muskets, buried in the ground, formed a simple repulsion array. Although it is not possible to kill or injure the Tartar cavalry, it is still possible to cause some harassment to the Tartar cavalry, disrupt their formation, and slow down their attack. Brothers, hurry up, the Tartars are about to attack. ā€

With the efforts of thousands of Haw Par Army, a rudimentary defensive line quickly formed around the Haw Par Army's circular formation.

When the Tatar general saw the picture of the Haw Par Army actually using the corpses of the soldiers killed under his command to build a defensive line, his face directly changed from solemn to gloomy. Not only that, but a thick murderous aura also emanated from all over the body.

Before the Lord General could speak, some of the same angry Tartars began to shout, "General. These Han people are really too deceitful. We should go on the offensive right away. Exterminate them......"

"Yes, destroy them, not only to destroy them, but also to take their corpses and feed them to the wolves......"

Facing the clamor of his subordinates, the gloomy face of the master general waved his hand directly and replied: "Shut up to Ben General, what should I do, Ben Jiang has his own ideas, and it is not your turn to teach Ben Jiang yet." ā€

After all that's said. The gloom on the face of the Lord General was directly covered with firmness.

After taking a deep breath, he replied to everyone: "General Ben just said that the reason why the Haw Par Army, which is surrounded by us, wants to hide its strength in front of us must have some conspiracy against us. ā€

"How can we disrupt the Haw Par Army's plot and prevent us from being fooled again? Ben has a very simple solution, which is to eliminate this tiger and leopard army before this conspiracy begins. As long as we eliminate them, the so-called conspiracy. will disappear with it. ā€

After glancing at the subordinates with different expressions in front of him, the Lord continued to speak, "Of course. Vice General Li's analysis of our current strength just now is a fact, and we cannot but admit it. ā€

"But, what I'm going to say is that we lost a lot in the attack that just ended. However, the Haw Par Army, which was surrounded by us, also suffered heavy losses. The general could have been sure that in the battle just now, the Haw Par Army had lost at least a thousand men. ā€

"Let's think about it, how many troops does this Tiger and Leopard Army have, excluding artillery, and the more than 1,000 people that have just been lost, how many troops can be used for defense?"

"There are less than 3,000 people, or even more than 2,000 musketeers who can be used for defensive ......," one of his subordinates subconsciously replied.

The main general nodded and affirmed: "Even if this Tiger and Leopard Army still has 3,000 defensive troops, however, these 3,000 people need to defend in four directions, not one direction. That is to say, in the next offensive, each of our attacking troops will only need to deal with the Haw Par Army of less than 700 men. ā€œ

Speaking of this, the expressions on the faces of the subordinates had once again regained the scorching heat before the first attack.

The commander-in-chief, who was surrounded by everyone, continued to speak, adding: "In addition, in the attack just now, we didn't know that this tiger and leopard army was equipped with so many artillery, and there were also grenades and horse nails, so that the warriors suffered a big loss on the battlefield. And now, we all know the hidden strength of the Haw Par Army. In the words of the Han people, that is, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent. Under such circumstances, do you think that if we attack the Haw Par Army again, we will suffer so many losses? ā€

Once you have morale, the next step is how to attack.

Under the mention of several Han generals of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, an offensive method specifically aimed at mixing horse nails and artillery appeared directly in front of the main general.

Some people want to say that they are all fighting for the Tartars, selling their lives to the Tartars, killing the same Han people as themselves, those generals of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, why are they so hardworking, do they really forget their ancestors?

In fact, it is not, because, in the process of attacking, the Han Eight Banners they commanded, no matter how high their status, were used as cannon fodder for the Houjin Tartars. If they don't come up with a way to save their lives, they will be wiped out on the battlefield by the Haw Par Army, just like the four thousand men who attacked in the first round. Therefore, there is only one reason for what they do, to survive.

On the battlefield of Nuoda, the Tiger and Par Army, surrounded by the Tartars, had just built a fairly formed breastwork around it. The Tartars, with high morale, were also ready for battle.

For this attack that was also full of expectations, the Tartar commander did not take out all the soldiers under his command

In the four offensive directions, there was no change in the musketeers of the Han Eight Banners with 1,000 men, and the cunning Tatar generals only sent less than 500 Tatar cavalry.

Because, in the just-concluded attack, he was told that in the case of the Han Eight Banners blocking lead bullets for the cavalry, the more cavalry he sent out, the more he was killed by the shells of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In his eyes, the five hundred iron cavalry on each road, under the cover of the musketeers in front, as long as two hundred people can rush into the tiger and leopard army formation, the final victory will belong to him.

For the Han Eight Banner musketeers who act as cannon fodder, there is also a reason why the main general is so confident.

The musketeers who attacked, in addition to a musket, carried a large number of shield carts and shields to defend themselves against muskets and even grenades. In the eyes of the main general, with the addition of these weapons, the losses of the Han Eight Banners in the offensive will definitely be greatly reduced.

In this way, they can send the cavalry behind them to the Haw Par Army position, and open a breach in the Haw Par Army defense line that allows the cavalry to attack.
