Chapter 484: The Pressure Is Coming
However, time waits for no one......
The pale-faced tribal leader had not yet recovered from his shock and incomprehension.
A dull string of mortars bursting out of the chamber rang out on the position of the Tiger and Par Army a hundred paces away.
Then, with a sharp whistling sound, the flowering bomb flew across the sky towards their location.
The "boom, boom......, boom, boom" flowering bomb hit the ground, and the deafening explosion sounded on the battlefield.
More than a hundred black smoke and fireballs rose in the air, as if they had been discussed, and rose on the front line of the earth fence at the same time.
The tribal leader who was hiding behind the earthen enclosure was less than thirty paces away when he personally felt the scorching heat from the explosion of the flowering bomb. After the explosion of a flowering bomb, the tragic picture caused on the front line of the earth enclosure was very clearly displayed in front of the leader.
In the explosion of this large-caliber mortar flowering shell, the earthen fence, which was no more than five feet high and was specially used to defend against wild beasts, was directly blown out of a gap of one zhang wide.
As for the few young men guarding the gap, the two people who happened to be hit by the flowering bomb didn't even let out a scream, and were directly torn to pieces by the powerful qi wave and fragments generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb. Far away, though it would be possible to leave a complete corpse. However, the corpse was pierced by the fragments of flying shells, and there were blood holes everywhere, and streams of blood continued to pour out.
In this way, round after round of flowering bombs, as if they didn't want money, they continued to explode on the front line of the earthen fence. After the seven or eight rounds of thousands of flowering bombs exploded in succession, the Tartars gathered on the first line of the earthen enclosure were directly covered by the thick smoke generated by the explosion of the flowering bombs.
I can't see my fingers. A tribal leader whose face was blackened by gunsmoke. Watching the warriors under his command. One by one, they were blown to the ground and turned into corpses. The already pale face directly became gloomy.
With the Haw Par Army's shelling not stopping at all, the tribal leader with a gloomy face knew that if his warriors continued to stay here, with the Han people having enough shells, they could kill everyone, including himself, with only the powerful flowering shells. All blown to the ground.
And this is definitely not acceptable to the tribal leaders.
In the eyes of the tribal leader, even if all the warriors under his command are killed, they must die on the battlefield of melee combat with the Han people, and they must not be killed on the battlefield by the Han people with cannonballs for no reason, and before they die, they don't even see the shadow of the opponent Han people.
As a result, the tribal leader, who was being ravaged by the artillery fire of the Haw Par Army, immediately made a decision in his heart.
Since the only long-range strike weapon, the bow and arrow, has lost its effectiveness and cannot be compared to the firearms in the hands of the Haw Par Army. Then we'll give up the bow and arrow. Engage in a close-range frontal fight with the Haw Par Army, so that the Haw Par Army is equipped with sophisticated firearms. It was all scrap metal and lost its usefulness......
As soon as he thought of it, under the watchful eyes of several subordinates, the tribal leader gave the order to retreat very decisively.
Then, with the tribe's remaining more than 5,000 young and strong, the very wolf bรจi retreated because of the attack, and the tribe was also in chaos.
Facing the subordinates who were demoralized after a series of blows in front of them.
The tribe that never thought of giving up his family business and broke through from the gap deliberately left by the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the tribe was frightened. I had to suppress the worries and fears that also kept surging in my heart, and encouraged loudly.
"Warriors, I didn't expect that the Han people who surrounded us would have such sharp firearms. For those warriors who died in battle, I decided that after the battle was over, each of them would be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, a war horse, and three sheep...... to make up for my mistakes......"
"However, in the current battle with the Han people, no matter how powerful the firearms in the hands of the Han people are, we must fight it...... Because, from a formal point of view, these Han people surround us for only one purpose, that is, to kill everyone and rob everyone of the financial ...... that everyone has worked hard to accumulate all their lives."
Seeing the nervous expressions on the faces of the warriors under his command, there was finally a hint of relief.
The tribal leader's words turned around and continued.
"Since the Haw Par Army is equipped with such sharp firearms, then we will avoid the Haw Par Army firearms unit and not fight their firearms......
"So I decided to abandon Tuweizi and let the Han invade our tribe. The warriors, on the other hand, hid in the tribe and attacked the Han army that entered the tribe anytime and anywhere. โ
"I believe that as long as the Tiger and Par Army enter the tribe, the firearms they are equipped with, no matter how powerful they are, will not be able to exert their power. In this case, the warriors can use the scimitars in their hands to let the Han people who enter the tribe know that no matter how powerful their firearms are, they will never be the opponents of the Houjin warriors in close combat......
"In addition, in order to end the battle faster, kill all the Han people who attacked us from outside the tribe. During the whole battle, as long as the families of the warriors can take up arms to fight, all the weapons will be distributed to fight......"
Let the Tiger and Leopard Army enter the tribe and fight at close range to eliminate the attacking forces of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
In the face of this seemingly foolproof strategy, the hesitant expression that shrouded the faces of the remaining Tartars was once again covered with confidence.
Because, all the Tartars here are full of confidence in their melee fighting ability.
Seeing this, the tribal leader continued to order, "In addition to this, I have another decision. In the next melee fight, whoever killed the Han people who invaded my tribe will be the ones who are equipped with the war horses and equipment of the Han people, and no one is qualified to rob them......"
After listening to the last words of the tribal leader, thousands of Tartars had a confident expression on their faces. At this moment, the earth weizi seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and it was directly replaced by the scorching heat.
Then, rushing to his house in a frenzy, preparing for the upcoming battle.
At this time, Sun Chengzong, who was acting with the 1st Cavalry Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, saw that there was no more Tartar bombed in Tuweizi, which had been shelled.
The calm face was directly covered with doubts.
Under the help of several staff officers, he ordered loudly: "It's not good, there must be something wrong in the Tartar tribe, and the Tartars gathered on the front line of Tuweizi seem to have run away...... Order all artillery batteries to stop shelling immediately......"
"If the remaining young men of the Tartars all flee back to the tribe and fight separately, then the next battle will be a very great pressure on us, especially the more than 10,000 soldiers of the two garrison divisions, because they have not yet trained the street fighting ...... designated by the commander" (to be continued......
