Chapter 477: A New Tactic for Cavalry

The cavalry division had a regiment of more than 1,000 cavalry, which was very smooth to the mountain beam, and disappeared in front of the five thousand Tartar Qingzhuang.

Just when the five thousand Tartars were young and strong, and rushed towards the mountain beam without the slightest preparation, an accident happened

On the top of the mountain beam, three thousand cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army suddenly appeared in a row.

The five thousand Tartars who had been chasing frantically all the way had not yet reacted from the sudden surprise, and the three thousand Tiger and Leopard Army Iron Cavalry had already condescendingly swooped towards the five thousand Tartars.

Soon, the sprinting speed of the three thousand tiger and leopard army iron cavalry reached the extreme.

Of course, the distance between the two armies has also been sharply reduced from more than 300 steps per mile to 150 steps in a short period of time.

At this time, the five thousand Tartars finally reacted. Amid the roar of their respective leaders, they raised their bows, bent their bows, and prepared to mount and shoot.

At the same time, the 3,000 Tiger and Leopard Army Iron Cavalry also raised their short-barreled flintlock muskets with one hand, ready to shoot.

One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps

These Tartars, who had not seen the power of the flintlock muskets of the Tiger and Leopard Army, still fantasized about how they could use their cavalry to kill and injure a large number of Han cavalry in front of them. A burst of gunfire suddenly reached their ears.

Immediately after him, the cavalry formation of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which was getting closer and closer to him, rose up with clouds of white smoke.

"It's a musket, and the cavalry of the Han people is actually equipped with cavalry"

"However, these Han people are too timid, and they shoot when there are still eighty paces between the two armies, do they think that the muskets in their hands are really so powerful?"

Just when all sorts of mocking words rang out among these tartars. A picture appeared that stunned all the young Tartars.

The cavalry standing in front of him, under the attack of this round of buckshot, seemed to have hit an unstoppable copper wall. Even people and horses. Crashed down on the way to the charge.

Tartars just behind these cavalry. Subconsciously dodge the corpse that fell to the ground. With a shocked face, he continued to charge forward. The second round of lead bullets fired by the Haw Par Army had already arrived in front of them.

After the "pop pop" bean-like gunfire rang out, hundreds of Tartars, with mixed expressions of shock and despair, crashed down on the charging road.

This time, the last round. It was also the third round of lead bullet, which appeared with a bang.

After firing this round of lead bullets, the 3,000 Tiger and Leopard Army Iron Cavalry did not care about the success of the muskets. Sticking the musket directly into the saddle, he pulled out a throwing gun, which the infantry had completely abandoned, from the back and held it tightly in his hand. Then, rest your whole body on the horse's back as much as possible, ready to throw.

Under the three rounds of 3,000 buckshot attacks by the Haw Par Army, the 5,000 Tartars, who had no chance to make any preparations, directly paid heavy losses of more than 1,000 people.

However, the ferocity of the Tartars is not spoken.

Shock to shock. The death of comrades-in-arms and brothers not only did not provoke panic in their hearts. On the contrary, it also aroused the most primitive beastliness in their hearts.

The remaining 3,000 or so Tartars were young and strong, as if they had gone mad, staring at a pair of red eyes.

Raising his horse bow, bending his bow and arrows, he stared at the tiger and leopard army in front of him who was getting closer and closer to him. Prepare to use the arrows in your hands to deal a fatal blow to these Han people and avenge the brothers who died in battle.

Sixty steps, fifty steps, forty steps

With the help of the inertia of the cavalry's rapid charge, the young man with a horse bow with a range of only thirty paces did not hesitate to shoot the arrows that were already on the bowstring.

At the same time, the 3,000 tiger and leopard army iron horsemen also used all their strength to throw their guns in their hands.

When he was done, as if he was training, he pulled out another throwing gun from his horse and threw it at lightning speed. Then, he suddenly drew out the saber hanging on the horse's back, held it tightly in his hand, and forwarded the blade, lying on the horse's back, ready to fight the Tartar at close range.

Of course, the moment the Haw Par Army threw their guns, more than 3,000 arrows from the Tartars flew towards them with a negligible whistling sound of breaking through the air.

However, the next scene was once again unexpected by the Tartars.

Because the iron cavalry of the Haw Par Army is all equipped with iron armor, and all the cavalry lie on the back of the horse as soon as possible after throwing the spear, so as to reduce their attack surface from arrow attacks.

So, the arrows of the Tartars fly unless they hit their heads. Otherwise, it is simply impossible to kill them from the back.

More than 3,000 whizzing arrows, in addition to hundreds of hitting the head of the cavalry, hundreds of hitting the head of the war horse with the weakest defense power, causing a loss of less than 300 people to the 3,000 iron cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army.

The remaining arrows were all bounced off by the iron armor worn by the tiger and leopard army's iron horsemen, or they were pierced on the back of the war horse, causing not very fatal damage to the war horse, and it could even be said that it was negligible damage.

However, compared to the arrows fired by the Tartars, the damage caused by the 6,000 throwing spears to the Tartars was deadly.

The whistling spear, in terms of power, is absolutely incomparable to the arrow.

Therefore, even if the Tartars were wearing leather armor and whistling spears, they could still easily pierce them, pierce them into their bodies, and kill them.

What's more, less than a third of the Tartars actually wore leather armor.

In this case, only the first round of 3,000 guns was in the blink of an eye, taking at least 600 lives.

When the second round of 3,000 throwing guns fell into the middle of the Tartars with a whistling sound, a huge gap directly appeared in the dense Tartar army formation

As far as the eye can see, there are less than 2,500 of the 5,000 Tatar cavalry

Before the battle began, the five thousand Tartars who still had an absolute superiority in strength had no advantage at this moment. Not only that, but the Tartars, who had been attacked continuously and had paid a huge price of more than half of the losses, had already fallen to an unprecedented low point in morale.

However, in the face of the iron cavalry of the Haw Par Army, which was already close at hand, and in the face of the more than 2,000 sabers that the Haw Par Army held tightly in their hands. The remaining more than 2,000 people of the Tartars, no matter how scared they were, could only fight with their lives to meet them.

Because, at such a close distance, they who have already reached the extreme speed of the charge, there is no way for them to retreat. Even if they still had the opportunity to retreat, after continuous pursuit, when the war horses under their crotch had begun to get tired, they could only be chased and killed by the Tiger and Leopard Army's iron cavalry all the way to retreat, and they could not escape death.

"Boom" was like thunder, and the two fast-charging cavalry crashed together.

Then, the neighing of war horses, the screams of enemy soldiers, and the metal collision of sabers began to sound on the battlefield like a symphony

For the fast-charging cavalry, this round of confrontation ended after only one tea time.

When the cavalry that crashed into each other quickly separated, a thick layer of corpses had been left on the battlefield where the battle had just been fought. Hundreds of horses that had lost their owners, some walking back and forth on the battlefield, gnawing on the blood-stained dead grass on the ground. Some war horses stand directly next to the owner's corpse, constantly rubbing the owner's corpse.

The sophisticated equipment, in this close-quarters fight, once again gave the cavalry of the Tiger and Par Army a vital protection. Therefore, among the thousands of corpses left on the battlefield, only less than 300 were the Haw Par Army.

Under such circumstances, the total strength of the Tartars has been sharply reduced to about 1,500 men.

On the other hand, the Tiger and Leopard Army Iron Cavalry at the foot of the mountain beam had already rushed to a few hundred paces away, and there were still 2,500 people up and down.

With the same strength, he is not the opponent of the Tiger and Leopard Army in front of him, not to mention that the strength is only half of the opponent.

Therefore, the second round of sand washing has not yet begun, and more than 1,000 young Tartars who are already frightened and have no discipline at all want to flee the battlefield without looking back.

However, what they didn't expect was this

Just now he was chased by himself, like a frightened rabbit, and the 1,500 iron cavalry of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army was very wolf. At this moment, the horse's head had been turned and appeared behind them.

What's more, fifteen hundred already frightened Tartars are young and strong, and they are just beginning to retreat. Silently, a group of iron horsemen detoured behind them, and directly underwent earth-shaking changes in their spirits.

Like wolves smelling blood, they screamed and chased after them.

At the same time, two cavalry regiments, with two thousand five hundred men remaining, quickly split into two and made a detour from the two flanks of the Tartars in the direction of their escape

With the advantage of horsepower, the four cavalry units that you chased after me slowly converged.

Soon, a huge encirclement was formed around more than a thousand Tartar Qingzhuang.

At the same time, the fifteen hundred Tiger and Leopard Army Iron Cavalry, which followed closely behind, actually raised the flintlock muskets that shocked and frightened them for the first time.

After the sound of gunfire rang out, under the wrapping of the flames, the whistling lead bullets easily pierced their backs, and in a short time, buried the three hundred Tartar cavalry charging at the rear.

Before the Tartars, who were frantically fleeing for their lives, had not yet reacted from the sudden concentration, more than 2,000 tiger and leopard army horsemen who had been outflanked from both wings also raised their flintlock muskets and fired very deadly lead bullets at them.

When he was done, he continued the pursuit, and at the same time leaned towards the Tartars, who had already been surrounded, and narrowed the encirclement.

Soon, the distance between the three cavalry was shortened to less than forty paces.

At this time, the Iron Cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, who had only held the victory in their hands, did not intend to meet it just like this and have a hard fight with the remaining young men of the Tartars.

Instead, he took out the throwing spear that he also felt frightened by throwing the tartar, and threw it at them fiercely

"Woo woo woo" with a faint whistling sound of breaking through the air, like rain, fell among the tartars.

After rounds of intensive gun-throwing rain, there was no longer a single young Tartar on a war horse in Noda's encirclement. (To be continued......)
