Chapter 466: You can't just take advantage

On the battlefield where the sound of gunfire has stopped, the corpses of Tartars and war horses are close at hand, full of blood...... Smelling the thick smell of blood and gunpowder smoke that had already spread through the air......

Wei Zheng, who had become more and more accustomed to this feeling, couldn't help but close his eyes, letting the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood continue to impact his various organs and pores......

At this moment, an operational staff officer hurriedly walked over.

After seeing Wei Zheng, he directly reported with an excited face: "Marshal, in the battle just now, we won the first battle...... Of the 8,000 cavalry that the Tartars attacked us, less than 3,000 of them managed to escape......"

There was always such a huge number of artillery units, coupled with thousands of sharp muskets, a constant stream of grenades...... If they can't repel the attack of the Golden Iron Cavalry, defeat them...... Then Wei Zheng, the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army, was in vain.

Therefore, Wei Zheng only smiled at this result, and did not have any other superfluous expressions.

Wei Zheng's face was expressionless, which did not mean that the two division commanders standing beside Wei Zheng were also expressionless.

As soon as the words of the combat staff officer fell, a voice full of excitement came out of the mouths of the two people......

"Destroy more than 5,000 Tartar horsemen, and we ourselves have almost nothing to lose...... Dashuai, this is definitely a victory that shocked the entire Ming Dynasty......"

"yes...... Marshal, as long as this battle spreads, our Tiger and Leopard Army will once again be famous throughout the Ming Dynasty......"

At this time, Wei Zheng finally spoke......

"Happy to be happy...... However, we must not be arrogant and unfocused...... Don't forget, in front of us. There are also tens of thousands of Houjin iron cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry ......"

Hear here. The smiles on the faces of the two division commanders. It was immediately replaced by Yan sù.

He asked Wei Zheng, "Dashuai, then how should we fight next...... It is to continue to stay here, waiting for the Houjin Tartars to attack us. Or do we take the initiative and launch an attack on the Houjin army on the opposite side......"

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied, "Tartar is not a fool...... Tong Guò just fought this battle, and the commander of the Houjin army was stupid, and he would not make the stupid decision to take the initiative to attack us again. ”

"So, we can't always take advantage of it...... The commander decided that the whole army would rest in place for half an hour. Replenishment of the body, dry food, ammunition. Half an hour later, take the initiative to attack the opposite Tartar......"

On the battlefield where time is fleeting, half an hour passes quickly.

Wei Zheng, who was dressed in armor, just appeared, and hundreds of pairs of eyes around him, as if they had been discussed, converged on Wei Zheng at the same time, waiting for Wei Zheng to give a military order.

didn't make everyone wait too long, Wei Zheng holding a telescope. After only a brief observation of the Tartar two miles away, he opened his mouth and ordered: "The commander of the book will order...... The whole army remained in formation. Advance one mile to the position of the Houjin army......"

"Heavy artillery regiment, two divisions belong to heavy artillery battalions...... One mile before the position of the Houjin Army, he chose his own artillery position, set up artillery, and eliminated the possible artillery position of the Houjin Army. At the same time, all heavy artillery units are battalions that choose their own targets for shelling, kill and wound the enemy, and reduce the pressure on the enemy from infantry and cavalry divisions......"

"Mortars of all calibers, except for heavy artillery, followed by cavalry and infantry, launched an attack on the positions of the Houjin army......"

"In this attack, the commander wants to press the whole army down...... Only in this way can we attract all the attention of the Houjin Army to us. Give the chief of staff hidden in the back of the Houjin Army a chance to sneak up on the back and strike a fatal blow. ”

The powerful military formation composed of more than 10,000 tigers and leopards was like a black cloud that could not be seen at a glance, slowly advancing towards the position of the Houjin army, and there was a feeling that the black cloud was overwhelming the city and wanted to destroy it.

The commander of the Houjin Army's position, which was still struggling just now, was still struggling with whether to continue to attack the Tiger and Leopard Army at the risk of heavy losses. Facing the Haw Par Army that suddenly moved, a smile directly appeared on the hesitant face.

Before he could speak, a pair of generals next to him took the lead and shouted excitedly: "Lord Wang, the time has come for us to take revenge...... The Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army dared to take the initiative to attack us, we must seize this opportunity to defeat them......"

The commander of the Houjin Army also showed an excited smile on his face......

Loudly affirmed: "You're right, this is indeed a good opportunity for us to take revenge......"

"This king ordered: artillery team, immediately prepare for battle...... As soon as the Haw Par Army comes into range, they will open fire immediately...... Put solid shells, flowering shells, shotshots...... All of them will be used by this king, so that these cowardly Han people can also taste the taste of being shelled......"

"Musketeers, archers, prepare for defense......"

"Cavalry warriors, prepare to charge...... As soon as the Haw Par Army rushes to a distance of twenty paces, they will attack immediately...... As long as we are strangled with the opposite Hawpanther army, the final victory will be ours......"

"Yes, Lord ......"

The more than 20,000 Houjin cavalry, who formed a huge military formation, quickly moved.

Five thousand musketeers, forming the most common three-stage musket formation.

Three thousand archers, close behind, stood behind the musketeers. Hold your longbow high and get ready to shoot arrows......

Dozens of artillery pieces, which were also pinned on by the Houjin army, were shouted by several Houjin officers by hundreds of gunners. It was very difficult to lift it out.

As for the more than 10,000 iron cavalry that the Houjin Army attached the most importance to, they quickly dispersed to the two flanks of the military formation.

Soon, dozens of artillery pieces were erected. Of course, the Tiger and Par Army, which was attacking him, had also advanced the battle line to a position less than three hundred steps away from him.

At this time, an adjutant general standing beside him directly reminded: "Lord Wang, the Tiger and Par Army has entered the effective range of most of our army's artillery...... As long as we open fire, we will definitely blow them up and lose a lot......"

The anticipatory face of the commander of the Houjin Army was quickly covered with a trace of murderous aura......

Then, a loud order was given: "Artillerymen, open the artillery immediately......"

......As soon as the order of the commander of the Jin army was issued, a series of explosions sounded in front of the artillery positions lined up in front of him.

With a large cloud of flames mixed with a large amount of black smoke, it erupted from the muzzle of the artillery. All kinds of shells with whistling sounds, like rain, flew towards the Haw Par Army a few hundred paces in front of the position.

Under the watchful eyes of all the Tartars, the shells that whistled out did not disappoint them.

The only three flowering shells exploded directly in the middle of the dense musketeers of the Haw Par Army.

Solid cannonballs cut out a bloody path of corpses in the middle of the musketeers...... (To be continued......)
