At this time, the musketeers standing in the first row had quickly put the matching bayonets of the flintlock muskets on the barrels. Continue to flat-end muskets and bayonets forward, ready to meet the Mongol cavalry who are getting closer and closer to themselves.

As for the two thousand musketeers in the second and third platoons, they skillfully lit the grenade fire ropes held in their hands ....

With all his might, he waved his arm and threw out the white smoke grenade.

A steady stream of hundreds of grenades, after cutting through the visible parabolas in the sky, smashed steadily into the middle of the Mongolian cavalry that was getting closer and closer to him.

The grenade landed, and a violent explosion quickly sounded, and fireballs mixed with a large amount of black smoke also rose from the ground one after another.

Because of the different times when everyone threw the grenades, nearly two thousand grenades, which lasted for a few seconds, were all thrown out, and there was an explosion thirty paces in front of the musket array....

The continuous and dense explosion of grenades quickly took thirty steps in front of the position, forming an impenetrable storm of steel with gunpowder smoke and grenade fragments. All the Mongol cavalry that crashed into this steel storm, without exception, were all hit by fragments, and under the action of the inertia of the charge, they fell to the ground. Then, under the trampling of the horse's hooves one after another, the cavalry behind him turned into a pile of meat puree.

Nearly two thousand grenades, with their own great power, once again inflicted hundreds of losses on the Mongol cavalry in front of them.

However, no matter how powerful a grenade is, it will take time to throw it. However, the rapid charging speed of the Mongol cavalry did not give them this time.

The sound of dense explosions had not stopped, and a steady stream of Mongol cavalry had already rushed out of the smoke. Raise your sabre. With a pair of eyes that have killed red eyes. Rush towards the musket array that was close at hand.

In this case, the musketeers, who had just thrown out their grenades, had to pick up the muskets that had already been loaded with bayonets and prepared to engage in a close battle with the remaining hundreds of Mongolian cavalry....

In the eyes of infantry, in close-range combat, cavalry has an innate advantage. Because, the cavalry on the war horse can rely on the advantage of height and speed. Draw your saber from above and slash at any vital part of the infantry.

And the infantry standing on the ground could not do this. For the infantry, it is necessary not only to block the cavalry onslaught with their own flesh and blood, but also to attack the riders on their horses from the bottom up, with their heads held high.

In order to shorten the gap between the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and the enemy as much as possible, an order quickly spread among the dense musketeers: "The general has an order, kill the person before the horse..."

The soldiers standing in the first row of the musket array were undoubtedly the first to come into contact with the Mongol cavalry.

As a military man, they all know. As long as the Mongol cavalry rushed, more than ninety percent of them would be killed on the spot. Now that I already know that I am going to die. On the contrary, the faces of these soldiers did not have the fear before the battle.

After receiving the order to 'kill the horse first', the musketeers standing in the first row directly focused their attention on the war horses that were getting closer and closer to them. As for the cavalrymen who were riding on their horses and constantly wielding their sabers, they were directly ignored by them.

In the eyes of these musketeers, even if they were killed on the spot, they had to pierce the bayonet on the musket into the body of the horse under the crotch of the cavalry before they died in battle......

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of unstoppable cavalry appeared in front of the musket array.

In the face of the musketeers who were close at hand, the faces of the Mongols on their war horses showed a complex expression of contempt and fanaticism. Under the huge inertia of the cavalry's high-speed charge, he raised his saber high and slashed at the neck of the tiger and leopard army in front of him.

A flash of knife flashed, and the sharp blade easily slashed through the neck of the musketeer in front of him.

However, to the surprise of the Mongol cavalryman, not only did he not see any expression of fear in the face of the dying tiger and leopard army. Instead, at the corner of his mouth, I saw a smile full of weirdness and mockery. Although this strange smile was slowly disappearing from his face as his blade slashed across his neck. However, this Mongolian cavalry still saw clearly.

Just when the cavalry showed a hint of confusion on his face, and raised his still blood-stained scimitar again, and slashed towards the next target, the accident happened...

The war horse under his crotch was like suddenly stepping into a horse trap, and his whole body fell directly forward to the ground.

As for himself sitting on horseback, because his body instantly lost his balance, he fell forward and fell to the ground with the war horse. Then, it slammed into the ground.

When he reacted from the sudden blow and shock, he got up from the ground with pain, ready to raise his saber and continue to kill. Three bayonets, emitting a cold light, had already stabbed him in the chest from different directions, with the sound of the wind.

Without even uttering a single scream, three bright bayonets had already pierced the chest of this Mongolian cavalryman...

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry looked at their horses with desperate eyes before they died. The cavalry finally saw that under the neck of his war horse, at some point, had been pierced into a bayonet that also emitted bursts of cold light.

And until this moment, the Mongolian cavalry with a desperate face did not know why the Han infantry they killed would show themselves a mocking smile before dying.

It turned out that all of these were the masterpieces of the soldiers of the Haw Par Army who had just died in battle.

However, now that I know this qiē, it's too late for anything...

Because, who is also on the verge of death, he has no chance to do it all over again, dodging the bayonet of the tiger and leopard army piercing the war horse under his crotch...

In the blink of an eye, the musketeers standing in the first row successfully stabbed more than 200 war horses to death at the cost of more than 400 direct tragic deaths. As for the Mongols on these horses, although they were not attacked. However, when they landed and turned into infantry, and having lost all their advantages, they were immediately attacked by Haw Par musketeers, who were several times their size.

In addition, the muskets and bayonets in the hands of the Haw Par musketeers were five feet long, while the scimitars in the hands of the Mongols were only two feet long.

In this hand-to-hand combat battlefield that is one inch long and one inch short, more than 200 Mongols have successfully turned into infantry. Without exception. All were bayonets far longer than their own scimitars. Tie into a hornet's nest covered in bloody holes.

After the loss of these people, the remaining Mongol cavalry was full of less than 300 people.

Before they could react from the euphoria of successfully breaking through the first line of defense of the musket array, a row of dense muskets, also with bayonets, stood in front of them again on the second line of defense immediately following the musket array.

Under the attack of the same tactics, the Mongol cavalry that successfully broke through the second line of defense was less than 100 people.

This time. The remnants of the Mongol cavalry, which broke through two lines of defense in succession, had lost the speed advantage unique to cavalry.

Under the attack of the musketeers who quickly surrounded him, he could only rely on the height advantage brought by his war horse, constantly wielding his sabers, slashing and slashing the tiger and leopard army that wanted to get close to him.

However, there is a saying that two fists are hard to beat four hands...

No matter how powerful these Mongol cavalrymen were, they couldn't do everything.

In the face of bayonets stabbing at him from all directions, one after another the Mongol cavalry was stabbed off their horses because of their poor parrying, and finally turned into a hornet's nest covered with bloody holes...

Soon. This fighting slowly stopped, and the Mongol cavalry had less than 100 troops left. They were also killed.

Looking at the battlefield that is slowly calming down in front of you, watching at the battlefield with at least a thousand fewer musketeers. Wang Feng, whose face was heavy, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Only 4,000 Mongolian cavalry, it will bring us a loss of almost 2,000 cavalry....If we really let these Mongolian tribes unite and send tens of thousands of cavalry to besiege us at one time." The tens of thousands of cavalry we have attacked Mongolia this time may really be killed by them..."

"Well, now, although we have lost about 2,000 cavalry, we have taken the largest Mongol tribe. As long as this tribe is taken, even if the other Mongol tribes want to unite, there is no way...."

After finishing speaking, Wang Feng directly shifted his gaze to the Mongolian tribes that had almost lost their defenses and had fallen into chaos.

With a burning face and a hint of revenge, he ordered loudly: "Soldiers, the time has come to reap the fruits of the battle....General Ben ordered to immediately attack the remaining Mongols in the tribe....as long as they dare to resist, kill them all..."

"All get on your horse, continue to attack, kill..."

More than 3,000 soldiers who could still fight quickly mounted their war horses and rushed towards the tribe that had fallen into chaos with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes.

If it had been a few days ago, even if there were only thousands of old and weak women and children left in the tribe, they would have held on to the tribe for the sake of the tribe's property and fought to the death against the tiger and leopard army that attacked them.

However, in the face of the ending of the four tribes being wiped out by the tiger and leopard army in a row, in order to leave some seeds for his tribe. The tribal elders had to make the decision that some of the clansmen fled for their lives, while some of the clansmen continued to hold on to the tribe.

A sturdy woman, with a small child, riding a war horse, fled for her life to the depths of the steppe...

As for the rest of the old men, they gathered around the tribe, bending their bows and arrows, ready for a final resistance. At the same time, it also gives the clansmen who are fleeing for their lives to gain more time.

The sturdy Mongol cavalry was no match for him, let alone these old men who couldn't even pull their bows.

After several rounds of intensive buckshot, these old people, who were ready to die, without exception, all fell in pools of blood.

As for the Mongols who fled on horseback and could only see some figures, Wang Feng did not order his subordinates to pursue.

Because the purpose of paying such a big price is not to kill people, but for the cattle, sheep, war horses, and a large amount of gold and silver that they have plundered from the Han people many times......

Just when the three thousand soldiers commanded by Wang Feng rushed back to the station with herds of cattle and sheep and the remains of soldiers who died in battle. The battle commanded by Zhao Yun is also coming to an end.

In order to eliminate the 2,000 cavalry sent by the Mongols on the field battlefield, the 3,000 soldiers commanded by Zhao Yun also paid a heavy price of more than 1,000 people.

However, it was worth the effort.

Because, in addition to the corpses of more than 1,000 soldiers who died in battle, Zhao Yun brought back 6,000 war horses, 2,000 cattle, and nearly 70,000 sheep. Of course, in addition to these livestock, there were also gold and silver worth more than 500,000 taels of silver......

When the bodies of the fallen soldiers were captured and captured, they were continuously sent back to Shanxi by the 5,000 Datongfu garrisons.

Wang Feng and the others gathered again in Wei Zheng's tent.

This time, Wei Zheng did not give everyone time to say what he thought, but directly said his thoughts and orders.

"We took the initiative in two games, although we won, but the loss was also very large...."

"However, these two battles also proved to us on the one hand, that in a field battlefield without any preparation, it is impossible to rely on infantry alone to block the attack of superior cavalry. Therefore, after returning to Shanxi, we must seize the time to train our own cavalry units..."

Under the gaze of Wei Zheng's fierce eyes, Zhao Yun, the commander of the cavalry, replied with a resolute face: "Obey the orders of the generals....After returning to Shanxi, the last general will definitely live up to the high expectations of the commander and train an elite army that can be compared to the Houjin cavalry...."

Wei Zheng nodded and continued: "Okay, this matter is here, we won't discuss it much. Now, let's get down to business..."

"Although we have taken down the two Mongolian tribes around us that pose the greatest threat to us, we still can't say that we can rest easy. It is necessary to seize a qiē time, use the captured war horses, and try to take down the remaining three Mongolian tribes in the surrounding area. Then, with the captured cattle and sheep war horses, he quickly retreated to Shanxi..."

"Because, although we have broken the possibility of the five surrounding Mongolian tribes uniting. But in the depths of the steppe, there are much larger and more Mongol tribes ... When the news of our Tiger and Leopard Army's burning and looting in Mongolia passes, the Mongols in those tribes will not give up and even send troops to us. ”

"Therefore, we must retreat to Shanxi before these Mongol tribes can react, and with the fortified cities and walls, we must block the possible retaliation that the Mongols may launch against us..."

"Therefore, Ben Shuai has decided that after all the soldiers rest at the garrison tonight, they will continue to attack the three remaining Mongolian tribes around tomorrow and take it..."

"However, this time we can't divide our forces again...."

"In order to alleviate the losses of the troops, in addition to leaving two battalions of the scout army, the personal guard battalion defended to meet the enemy. The remaining soldiers were unified under the command of General Wang, and attacked the three remaining Mongol tribes in the surrounding area...."

"After the battle is down, according to the amount of gain, leave one to two battalions of soldiers to collect the results, and the rest of the soldiers continue to rush to the next target... Strive to take down all the remaining three Mongol tribes within two days..."

"Yes....Dashuai...."Under Wei Zheng's murderous order, the three of them replied loudly without the slightest hesitation. (To be continued......)
