The musketeers were really nervous, and it was their first battle in the strict sense of the word.

Although they are determined to kill the enemy and take revenge, human instinct still controls their nerves, and the hand that pulls the trigger is trembling.

Song An and Chi Erhan bent over and walked through the trenches, repeating a nagging sentence in their mouths, "Don't fight, listen to orders!" ”

A thousand Qing horses swept up the hill like a storm.

They stopped on the slope beam, and did not rush down, but sent a horse back to report to Wu Weihua.

In broad daylight, 3,000 people were ambushed, and even if there were trees on both sides of the road, trenches were dug, but as long as the Qing army stood on the slope beam and looked down, most of them were clear at a glance.

Wu Weihua listened to the report and quickly ordered the whole army to go uphill.

On the slope beam, Wu Weihua looked down the slope and couldn't help but be ecstatic.

It seems that the opposing commander is a chick, facing the cavalry, not occupying the uphill slope, but deploying a defensive position on the downhill.

This idea is indeed correct, whether it is infantry against cavalry, or against any branch of the army, first of all, it is necessary to occupy favorable terrain, and the high place is the most favorable terrain.

As it is today, as long as the cavalry rushes down, even if there are tens of thousands of troops below, it will be a life of being rushed.

Those who can lead 3,000 people should at least be a garrison, and they should also be above the leader in the Qing army.

To make such a defense, it should indeed be a chick.

The temptation is in front of us, and many times many authorities cannot sober up, because it is difficult for people to resist the temptation, and what can be resisted can only mean that the temptation is not enough.

Wu Weihua couldn't resist the temptation that was close at hand.

He missed the last chance to retreat.

He looked at the faint crowd at the bottom of the slope, his hand was already raised high, "Sons, the battle exploits are at the bottom of the slope, and the rich rewards are waiting for us, let the southern barbarians scream under the iron hooves...... Kill! ”

The 3,000 cavalry of the Qing army, like a curtain that had been rolled up, suddenly untied the fixed strip of cloth and poured down like a waterfall.

That kind of momentum is beyond the power of man.

Not to mention the soldiers, even Wu Zheng couldn't help but get nervous.

Of course, his nervousness was not due to fear and fear, but to fear that the mines planted could not be detonated.

Fortunately, the military workshop has tested the product countless times, and it did not make Wu Zheng wait too long.

The momentum of the war horse's downward sprint, how can it be stumped by filaments?

The filaments pulled the flint, rubbed it and caught fire, lit the fuse, the mine, and after about six or seven seconds, it exploded with a "boom".

Serial thunder, this explosion, is a large piece.

With a delay of six or seven seconds, the charge of the cavalry on the lower slope was enough to run twenty or thirty paces.

The cavalry forwards were the safest, and they were almost constantly stumbling on the detonators.

The mines exploded in the middle of the Qing cavalry, and the 3,000 cavalry were blown in two.

The Qing army was stunned.

Lu Jincai, a bastard boy, was ordered to bury mines, and was Wu Zheng with a sentence of "no need to be reluctant", and buried mines every other meter on the slope, and the ramp with a width of more than one zhang was buried in a row, and the power of this black powder mine was small, and the killing radius was also about one zhang during the test, that is, it was originally only necessary to bury two, and at most three horizontal rows, Lu Jincai was stunned to bury five.

Moreover, the longitudinal is the same, at a distance of 50 meters, this is a hundred and fifty mines.

This method of bombing almost made the Qing cavalry in the explosion area no longer have a way to live, and people and horses were torn to pieces.

However, the length of the charge queue of 3,000 cavalry could stretch for a mile, and the explosion area of 50 to 60 meters only killed less than 500 cavalry in the middle.

Of course, the cavalry behind rushed headlong into the explosion range due to inertia, and there were no less than two or three hundred casualties.

But for the 3,000 cavalry, only less than 30% of the casualties, that is to say, the combat power of the Qing cavalry is especially high.

They were only flattened by the explosion in the middle of the queue, although the hundreds of cavalry in the front couldn't stop and were still rushing down the slope, but nearly fifty percent of the cavalry in the rear finally stopped after paying two or three hundred casualties.

This includes Wu Weihua.

Wu Weihua just wanted to fight for military merits, he didn't want to die.

But whenever there was danger, he hid behind.

This is not difficult to understand, how could Wu Weihua, who wanted to return to the capital, really take the lead?

So, he's safe.

Fortunately, the slope was not steep, Wu Weihua finally reined in the horse's hooves, and he almost roared with a voice that didn't sound like a human voice, "Hurry up...... Evacuate! ”

Without receiving a response from anyone, Wu Weihua turned the horse's head and began to return to the slope.

With the main general as an example, the Qing army finally recovered from the chaos.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen turned around on the slope with difficulty, and this kind of U-turn made no less than 100 horsemen collide with each other, and dozens of people dismount their horses.

But at this time, Chen Qicai's artillery battalion let out a roar of "dong dong".

According to Wu Zheng's request, the artillery fire covered the area at the top of the slope.

300 small cannons may not be able to kill more than 3,000 Qing cavalry, but they can definitely cover a radius of 1 or 20 meters on the horizontal plane of the top of the slope that is only more than one zhang wide.

Let's put it this way, this kind of cover can make this area not a single mouse live, except for flies, because it is so small.

I have to say that Wu Weihua is indeed fateful.

He was the first to turn the horse's head, and it stands to reason that he was indispensable to plunge headlong into the artillery-covered area.

It's a pity that this guy is old, and he is pampered, so he can't move as fast as the Qing knights.

After twenty steps back, he was overtaken by the latecomer of the Qing horse.

When the entire platoon of more than ten cavalry close to the top of the slope was covered by the explosion in an instant, Wu Weihua was at least ten steps away from the explosion range.

The uphill speed was already slow, Wu Weihua witnessed this tragic situation, hurriedly jumped off the horse, a lazy donkey rolled, aiming at a protruding boulder on the edge of the slope and rolled away.

The Qing cavalry who escaped death in the back followed suit, so that in the end, because more people could not be squeezed behind the boulder, the Qing soldiers tore each other apart.

At this time, there is no superior, and there is no shame.

Of course, it's no wonder that they are not facing enemies, but thunder like heavenly punishment.

Behind this boulder, there are more than 60 people, of course, this is a later story.

At the same time, the Qingqi striker has gone downhill, and it is not that they don't want to turn back, but they can't turn back.

So, fighting against the water, with blood-red eyes open, "whooping" screamed and rushed to the position of the "loyal battalion".

In their hearts, they are still strong, even if there are only a few hundred horsemen, it is not a problem to wipe out the rout of the "loyal battalion" in this area, so maybe they can turn defeat into victory.

I have to say that the fighting spirit of this Qing cavalry is indeed very strong, and when they knew that the middle and rear were suffering heavy losses, they still maintained their formation and attacked the "loyal battalion" not far ahead.
