If the Tartars were armed with a new flintlock musket, and interceptive fire began from a distance of one hundred and fifty paces. With the ultra-high rate of fire of the flintlock musket, it will definitely be able to block more than a thousand war horses.

However, they had in their hands not flintlock muskets, but old-fashioned arquebuses.

The arquebus, which is much less powerful, can only inflict damage on the enemy if it is less than 80 paces. In addition, the arquebus was almost twice as slow as the flintlock musket. It was simply impossible to inflict a ruining blow on the more than a thousand warhorses who had gone berserk, blocking them in the way of the charge.

As for the bow and arrow, which the Tartars are very good at, if they are used against the Haw Par Musketeers who have abandoned their armor, they will definitely achieve great results. However, its opponent was not the Haw Par Musketeers, but the horses whose numbers had been sharply reduced to seven or eight hundred, and whose skin was thick and thick-skinned......

Sharp arrows can kill a galloping horse. However, these kills can only be regarded as flesh wounds. Not only can it not inflict a fatal blow on the war horse, but it also uses pain and blood to further increase the manic course of the war horse

So, under the combined blow of the Tartar musketeers and archers, more than a thousand warhorses that had gone berserk, albeit with some losses. However, the remaining war horses, as always, continued to rush towards the Tartar army.

Soon, the remaining 400 or so horses on the battlefield had a very intimate encounter with the Tartar musketeers.

As an army with strong cavalry, the Houjin army has always used iron cavalry to attack the enemy, and has never considered that it has also been attacked by the enemy.

Therefore, in the face of the war horse that crashed into him in front of him, the Tartar musketeers who were not trained in this area at all. The first instinct was to drop the musket. U-turn and flee for your life. Avoid dying under the hooves of a war horse, and not even a complete corpse can be left.

However, no matter how fast their reaction speed is, they can't be faster than the galloping speed of the war horse.

In the blink of an eye, the Tartar musket array, which had five thousand musketeers, was thrown into chaos by more than four hundred war horses. Hundreds of Tartar musketeers who frantically fled for their lives were directly knocked to the ground by their war horses, and their lives and deaths were uncertain......

That's when it happened. The elite of the 10,000 border troops with all kinds of cold weapons in their hands happened to rush over.

has fallen into chaos, except for the arquebus, which is not even as good as the burning stick on the melee battlefield, and the Tartar musketeer, who is not even equipped with a short knife, how can it be an elite opponent of the border army who is very good at melee combat.

In just one round of hand-to-hand fighting, thousands of Tartar musketeers, with despair before death, were cut and stabbed to death on the battlefield by 10,000 elite border army with broadswords and spears.

Facing this ending at the beginning of the battle in front of us. On the battlefield of the battle with the Tartars, it was rare to achieve victory and superiority in the elite of the 10,000 border army. It's like being beaten with chicken blood. The more warriors are, the higher their morale.

Wielding the weapon that was still dripping with blood in his hand, he continued to rush forward to attack the Tartar army formation with a roar, killing the Tartar when he saw it, just like an angry lion, completely outputting the resentment and combat power in his heart......

On the other hand, the Tartar musketeers and archers, facing the elite of the border army like killing gods, were like encountering demons, and their faces instantly turned pale.

Those who are more courageous can also hold up muskets and fight with the border army. Those who are less timid directly drop their weapons and flee to the rear, further aggravating the confusion of the Tartar infantry formation.

Soon, the Tartar infantry, who was in most part of the infantry formation, fought with the elite of the border army who rushed over.

At this time, the commander of the Houjin Army, who successfully evacuated the infantry formation surrounded by personal guards, finally saw clearly who the enemy was from behind him?

When he saw the border uniforms on these people, the whole person almost fainted from shock.

At this moment, the adjutant general standing beside him directly said a reality on the battlefield that he did not dare to face.

"Lord Wang, it's over, more than 10,000 infantry, it's over like this......"

"Now the servants finally know why the Han people in Liaoyang City would so readily agree to the harsh conditions we proposed. It turns out that all this qiē is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against us. The Ming border army, which was defending Liaoyang City, had no intention of surrendering to us at all. They took advantage of the excuse of surrendering to us, and took the opportunity to leave the city, and together with the Haw Par Army against us, they attacked us back and forth, and wiped us out here......"

"Most of our more than 10,000 infantry are only equipped with bows and muskets, and they are no match for these Ming border troops in close combat......

Speaking of which, the lieutenant seemed to realize something. While his face changed greatly, he was still shocked, gloomy, and dignified at his side...... The commander, with all kinds of complex expressions, persuaded loudly.

"Lord Wang, our more than 10,000 infantry is finished, and there is no salvation. However, the remaining cavalry must not be wiped out on the battlefield just like that...... Cavalry is the foundation of our Houjin army, and it must not be wiped out here. Therefore, the servant implored the prince to immediately order the cavalry warriors who were fighting on the battlefield to retreat. Lord Wang, take the rest of the cavalry and withdraw to Houjin immediately. The minion personally led the remaining infantry on the battlefield, swore to the death to the prince, and let the prince return to Houjin ...... safely."

"There is really no way to redeem this defeat......" Under the persuasion of the deputy general, the prince did not answer immediately, but continued to insist on asking rhetorically with a face full of unwillingness.

The adjutant general shook his head, pointed to the battlefield in front of him and replied, "Lord Wang, the battlefield is right in front of you." Do you think that the infantry, which has become one-sided, is it still possible to turn defeat into victory? ”

"Losing infantry and relying only on a few cavalry may be the opponent of the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army? So, we have only one way to retreat. Otherwise, all of us will be left here by the Haw Par Army and end up with a total annihilation. ”

Speaking of this, the deputy who took a deep breath continued to analyze: "Although our cavalry warriors are very brave, in terms of combat effectiveness, they far surpass the iron cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army. However, the equipment of the Haw Par Army Iron Cavalry is very good. The cavalry battle that is going on on the battlefield, and even if our cavalry warriors can achieve the final victory, the price we need to pay will be very great."

"So, in order to save more cavalry warriors, please give the order to retreat immediately."

In the face of the facts, the prince had to lower his arrogant head and accept the cruel reality in front of him. The dignified face, at this time, was also covered with a trace of death.

After taking a deep breath, he said helplessly: "Since this is the case, then order the warriors to retreat Mingjin retreat and prepare to evacuate Liaodong"

"The prince's wise servant will immediately let Ming Jin withdraw his troops," the lieutenant replied loudly after a happy smile flashed on his face.

The 6,000 cavalry that fought with the cavalry division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, plus the 4,000 iron cavalry of the infantry division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, totaled 10,000 and the golden iron cavalry, and finally successfully retreated, not even 6,000 cavalry.

In the battle with the cavalry division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, 2,000 men were lost.

On the battlefield of the infantry division of the Haw Par Army, the same loss of 2,000 men.

On the battlefield of cavalry fighting, which had slowly calmed down, the cavalry division of the Tiger and Par Army, although it also lost 3,000 men in the battle just now. However, after Zhenzhen got the results and losses of the Houjin Army, there was still a look full of despair on his face.

He muttered to himself at the lieutenant general: "I really didn't expect that the well-equipped cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army would have such a strong combat strength, if the Tiger and Leopard Army has enough of this kind of iron cavalry, then our Houjin will lose all advantages in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army."

Before the commander of the Houjin Army finished talking to himself, he shouted out again from the mouth of the adjutant general with an exclamation.

"Lord Wang, you don't have time to continue to dwell on this issue"

"On the battlefield of infantry engagement, the warriors can't hold out for too long, and if they don't retreat, they won't be able to leave," after finishing speaking, he ordered directly to a cavalry general who had just retreated from the battlefield.

"What are you still stunned for, immediately protect the prince and withdraw Houjin, if you can't send the prince back to Houjin safely, not only you, but your family will be buried with the prince"

"Leave a thousand cavalry and follow me to block the possible pursuit of the Haw Par Army. Other warriors, retreat quickly, protect the prince and retreat immediately"

After the deafening sound of horses' hooves sounded on the battlefield, the prince, who was surrounded and protected by five thousand cavalry, quickly retreated in the direction of Houjin like a gust of wind.

As for the 1,000 cavalry commanded by the deputy general, they lined up and quietly blocked the official road, buying more time for the prince who had retreated.

At this moment, in the chaotic infantry battlefield, there are almost a third of the soldiers missing.

As more and more soldiers fell on the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield became clearer and clearer.

More than 12,000 Tartar infantry, as most of them were not equipped with cold weapons suitable for close combat. In front of the elite of the border army, armed with broadswords and spears, there is almost no ability to resist.

So, almost eight thousand Tartar musketeers and archers, almost all fell on the battlefield and turned into corpses.

Of course, while eliminating these archers and musketeers, the elite of the 10,000 border army also paid the price of almost 3,000 people. After all, the border army kills enemies who can resist, not pigs.

At this moment, on the bloody battlefield, there are only four or five thousand Tartars left, and more than 6,000 elite border troops.

Two armies, more than 10,000 soldiers, are engaged in a primitive battle related to their own life and death. (To be continued......)
