In hand-to-hand combat, you can smell the rich smell of blood. You may be completely suffocated, or temporarily blind, or completely unconscious, and your mind will go blank. Even, it is possible for blood to rush directly into your mouth, it may cover your eyes, and it is possible to flush you with meat.

Of course, the biggest possibility is that deep in your body, there will be a large amount of blood spurting out and splashing on other people's bodies. Or, there is a large amount of blood that rushes from your heart into your mouth, and then involuntarily spurts away, forming a blood-red rainbow in midair. If the neck is cut off, the blood that splatters up is said to be more than a foot high, and the scene is very spectacular.

You can see broken limbs flying towards you. This broken limb may be a severed head, a severed arm, or even a severed upper half of the body. These broken limbs may belong to the enemy, or they may belong to one's own. Of course, it may also be your own.

It is said that the moment a limb is cut off, there is no feeling. The severed head can still see everything in front of him until he is completely unconscious. A severed arm can also slash a scimitar into an enemy's body. Even the upper half of the severed body can continue to wield the scimitar and fight the enemy until it completely falls. As for the lower half of the body after the neck is cut off, it can continue to fight for a short time.

The sharp scimitar was unsheathed, and the cavalry on both sides felt their cheeks, and slowly began to stiffen, and gradually lost their feelings. Everyone's pupils slowly began to dilate. The beating of the heart is gradually accelerating. The speed of breathing is getting slower and slower. Someone was so nervous that he left feces and urine in his crotch, and the air smelled of feces and urine. Even some of the war horses were affected by the strong pressure, and there were some uneasy movements.

It is impossible for even the most experienced veteran not to be nervous in the face of such a scene. Because, such a confrontation means that there must be one side, which will be wiped out, and there will be no one alive. If you are the one who is completely destroyed, the end is naturally conceivable. Even if it is the winning side, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties. Maybe he was one of the casualties. Even Xu Xingxia didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to survive.

As if feeling the tragic atmosphere of the battlefield, the wind and sand gradually stopped, the sun did not know where to go, and the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. The chirping of insects and the call of birds are all inaudible. There was silence between heaven and earth, so silent that everyone could only hear their own heartbeat. In everyone's pupils, all irrelevant things are automatically excluded, and only the enemy is left.

"Kill!"

Xu Xingxia drank in a low voice.

He took the lead and rushed towards the Tatar cavalry.

"Kill!"

Mao 13 and the others shouted loudly and followed closely.

"Kill!"

The other Ming cavalry also mustered up their courage and rushed towards the Tatar cavalry.

The five Tartar cavalrymen, also with gloomy faces, rushed towards the Ming cavalry. They are in charge of the broken aftermath, and now they are staying, ready to fight back, and naturally they are ready to die. Therefore, although the Tartar cavalry was only five men, silently rushing over, there was also a kind of silent pressure. Thinking of the cavalry and archery level of the Tartar cavalry, Xu Xingxia was ready for someone to sacrifice.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Xingxia took the lead in releasing the arrow.

The arrows of the Tartar cavalry that rushed to the front landed on the ground.

"Whoosh!"

The second black-feathered arrow roared away.

The second Tartar landed with an arrow and rolled on the ground.

After two arrows, the Tartar cavalry was already within range. Without any hint or order, both sides desperately released their arrows. In the process of impact, the cavalry on both sides have already put the arrows on the bowstring, and the bowstrings have all been opened, as soon as they let go, the arrows in their hands will roar away.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Sharp arrows, with a sharp whistle, pierced everyone's ears.

In the whistling sound of arrows, there were constantly short screams, mixed with the sound of a human body falling to the ground. The neighing of the war horses also kept coming. All the sounds, mixed together, become a bursting and short symphony. The symphony came very violently and disappeared very quickly. Soon, the entire battlefield was calm.

The position where Xu Xingxia is standing now is the position where those Tatar cavalry stood just now. The bow and arrow in his hand have also been replaced by sharp scimitars. The Ming cavalry beside him also replaced all the weapons in their hands with scimitars. This is the beginning of preparing for hand-to-hand combat. However, there is no need for hand-to-hand combat. Because, all five Tartar cavalry fell to the ground.

Five Tartar cavalrymen, all killed by bows and arrows. Some of the Tartar cavalry also had more than three arrows stuck in their bodies. Even the not very powerful Yanling arrow is enough to take their surname. As for the Black Feather Arrow, naturally it goes without saying. Unfortunately, Sobud still ran away. However, this is also something that cannot be helped. The speed of the war horse under Sobud's crotch is very fast, Xu Xingxia and they were delayed like this, and if they want to chase it again, it is no longer meaningful. The battle is officially over.

Three of the Ming cavalry also fell to the ground, lying on the ground motionless. Their war horses all silently returned to their masters' sides, bowing their heads and rubbing their master's bodies. It's a pity that their owners have not reacted in the slightest. They were all shot by the arrows of the Tartars.

Zhang Quanfu turned over and dismounted to check on his companion who was hit by the arrow, but unfortunately, there was no way to rescue him. The arrows of the Tartars hit their vital point and directly took their lives. As soon as the three Tartars shot, they shot and killed three Ming soldiers, such a level is also normal. Zhang Quanfu could only shake his head helplessly at Xu Xingxia. All the cavalry of the Ming army, seeing his action, couldn't help but bow their heads.

"Huh!"

Xu Xingxia inserted the scimitar back into the scabbard.

"Huh!"

The other Ming cavalry also stuck their scimitars back into their scabbards.

Many of the Ming cavalry breathed a sigh of relief. Their first actual combat ended like this. The battle came and went quickly. They didn't feel too frightened when they fought each other. It wasn't until after the fight and when they saw their companions lying on the ground that they began to feel afraid. If the Tartar cavalry were aiming at them, it was believed that it was them who fell to the ground.

Chen Shouwang may have been too afraid, and he actually had a spasm all over his body, squatting on the ground and vomiting constantly. He vomited all the steamed buns and porridge he had eaten for breakfast. Eventually, there was really nothing left to vomit and began to vomit jaundice. The surrounding Ming cavalry all looked at him with sympathetic eyes. No one despised his fears. Because, such behavior is completely normal.

Xu Xingxia naturally didn't feel afraid. The results in front of him were what he expected. The death of three people in battle is also an acceptable result. Of course, after the battle was completely over, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly exhale it. These Tartars are really terrible, and their archery skills are fast, accurate and ruthless. If the Ming cavalry simply fired at them, it was almost impossible to reduce the casualty figure.

Judging from the current level of scientific and technological development, the best way to deal with the Tatar cavalry is not to give them a chance to attack. This made Xu Xingxia's idea of studying rifled guns even stronger. Only long-range, powerful, and accurate rifled guns can shoot the Tartars before they can shoot their bows and arrows. No other weapon can do this except rifled guns.

Zhang Quanfu sent people down the road to the south, collected the corpses of the Tartars and war horses along the road, and brought them back to Weizhen Fort. Gather all the money they have in them. Note that it is not allowed to divide privately. All the goods seized from the Tartars were to be distributed among the families of the brothers who died in the battle as a pension. Xu Xingxia said in a low tone.

"Yes." Zhang Quanfu agreed and went with five soldiers.

"Liu Heng, put all the Tartar corpses here on horseback and bring them back to Weizhen Fort. Take care that you are not allowed to divide their money. Xu Xingxia continued.

"Yes." Liu Heng also agreed.

"Gao Meng, Liu Chuang, you and I will work together to send their bodies back." Xu Xingxia said slowly. He took Gao Meng and Liu Chuang, and carried the three Ming cavalrymen who died in battle on horseback, ready to send them back to their families.

The first time he participated in the actual battle, three people died in battle, such a situation, of course, Xu Xingxia did not want to see, and it was also the military household of Weizhenbao that he did not want to see. However, as long as there is a war, it is impossible not to suffer casualties. Especially in the battle against the Tartars, it is almost impossible to avoid casualties. The individual combat effectiveness of the two sides is really too far apart.

I believe that when participating in the assessment, everyone has been fully mentally prepared and expects that they may die. It is impossible to only think about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and not to die in battle. There is no need for Xu Xingxia to specifically explain their families. I believe that their families are also prepared for this. What he needs to do now is to formulate a unified pension standard, so that the brothers and families who died in the war can live smoothly. Let their families feel that their loved ones did not die in vain and that their deaths were worth it.

Xu Xingxia preliminarily decided that in addition to distributing the seized Tartar property to them, each of them would also be given fifty taels of silver as a pension. There shouldn't be a lot of wealth on the Tartars, and when they are apportioned, there won't be much. Therefore, the use of seized property as a pension alone is relatively small, and an additional fifty taels of silver must be subsidized. For the military families in Ningxia Town, fifty taels of silver can do a lot of things.
