Chapter 268: Sharp Change
After destroying these Tartar officers with lightning speed, there was no longer an army in Nuoda's Zuoyun City that could stop the pace of the Tiger and Par Army's attack.
As a result, the mighty Tiger and Leopard Army, like a flood that broke the embankment, quickly poured into Zuoyun City along the gap in the city wall that had just been blown up, and cleared the possible remnants of the Tartars in Zuoyun City.
The battle in Zuoyun City was about to end because the sound of gunfire slowly stopped. On another battlefield about twenty miles away from Zuoyun, a close-quarters battle between the two cavalry had begun.
More than a thousand Tartars were fearful for their future, but did not receive the order to withdraw. Raising his saber high, like a samurai who was going to die, he stared at a pair of red eyes and rushed into the military formation composed of more than 4,000 tiger and leopard army cavalry.
For the remaining more than 4,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army on the battlefield, such a close fight if it happened before the battle. In the face of the saber raised high by the Tartars, these 'recruits' who have never really experienced cavalry fighting, even if they do not break directly on the battlefield, will directly lose the courage to fight when they meet the enemy, and thus be caught off guard by the Tartar cavalry.
However, this is no longer the case....
Although the people of the Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry in front of them have not changed, they have also not experienced cavalry fighting. However, their minds have undergone earth-shaking changes in the battle just now.
The 5,000 invincible Tartar cavalry, before they really made contact with themselves, lost more than 3,000 people under their own series of blows, not to mention the remaining more than 1,000 people...
You must know that there are more than 4,000 comrades-in-arms around him, that is, three people fighting a Tartar cavalry. You can also eat them cleanly.
Besides. The inlaid white flag is not the inlaid yellow flag under the direct command of Huang Taiji. In the yellow flag, almost every cavalry has an iron armor that can defend against swords, guns, swords, and halberds. However, in the white banner of Commander Dolgon, except for a few officers who can have the luxury of having an iron armor, ordinary cavalry only wears a leather armor.
It is certain that the leather armor on these cavalrymen will definitely not be able to block the blade of the saber in their hands.
Looking at myself and my comrades-in-arms. Each of them wore a pair of yellow flags with captured Tartars, or iron armor made by the Haw Par Army themselves...... In the face of this kind of defense, unless the blade that the Tartar slashed at him directly hit the neck and face door where the iron armor defense was the most vulnerable, it would not be able to inflict fatal damage on himself at all.
Such a disparity in strength and defense, coupled with the strong self-confidence of more than 4,000 officers and men of the Tiger and Par Army because of the elimination of more than 3,000 Tartar cavalry... Facing the Tartars who killed them, everyone couldn't help but show the slightest panic on their faces, and a pair of blazing eyes unexpectedly shot out of the Dao full of scorching eyes.
In their eyes. The Tartar cavalry in front of you is not a soldier who can kill himself, but the result of his own battle.
Facing the Tatar cavalry that was already close in front of him. The battalion commanders of several cavalry regiments led by Luo Jingshan raised their sabers and shouted loudly while urging the war horses under their crotches.
"Brothers, kill the Tartars...... Kill..."
"Kill..."After an earth-shattering shout came out of the mouths of more than 4,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the two cavalry crashed together. Subsequently, the sound of all kinds of metal colliding, the sound of knives and guns entering the flesh, the screams of soldiers, the neighing of war horses... It was like a beautiful symphony, which quickly sounded on the battlefield.
With the protection of iron armor, in the first round of collision between the two cavalry, more than 4,000 cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army were like steel monsters standing tall one by one....
The saber that the Tartars slashed at their iron armor did not achieve the slightest result except for a series of white marks or a string of sparks on the iron armor.
Although the saber wielding of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army was very rusty, the Tartar riding on the war horse could be easily dodged. However, no matter how skilled their movements are, they can dodge one, or even two, blades that slash at them, but they can't dodge more blades that slash at them.
In addition, he was wearing only leather armor that could only protect against long-distance arrows, and he slashed at his saber, and he broke through these leather armors without the slightest pause, followed by his own body with a sharp blade......
Therefore, when the Tartar cavalry galloping wildly crashed into the cavalry phalanx of the Haw Par Army, and quickly penetrated behind the army formation of only three rows in front of and behind the Haw Par Army.
Of the more than a thousand Tartar cavalry, there are less than eight hundred left......
As for the more than 4,000 Tiger and Leopard troops, the losses were less than 300 people....
As for the battlefield that had just been fought, there were seven or eight hundred corpses densely poured, some of them from the Tatars and some from the Tiger and Par Army. As for the horses under the crotches of these fallen soldiers of the two armies, they stood alone in the middle of the two armies, constantly licking the ground with their tongues, and had become the owners of the corpses......
Looking at the fewer and fewer Tartars in front of him, the hot expressions on the faces of the more than 4,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army became even stronger.
Without giving the remnants of the Tartar in front of him the slightest time to rest and reorganize, he raised his saber high again and shouted loudly.
"Brothers, keep killing me. Kill all the Tartars ......"
"Killing ......" has already killed the red-eyed Tartar deputy general Wu Muqi, and then he was not willing to lag behind with his remnants, brandished his saber, and rushed towards the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army who was getting closer and closer.
When two obviously disproportionate cavalry crashed together and quickly separated.
The cavalry that followed behind the Tartar lieutenant general Wu Muqi was only five hundred people.
As for the Tiger and Leopard Army behind Luo Jingshan and the others, perhaps because the Tartars already knew that the iron armor on the opponent's body was invulnerable, this time they rushed to kill, and all the blades were slashed at the front and neck of the Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry.
Therefore, in this round of killing, the cavalry of the Haw Par Army lost as many as 700 people, and almost every Tartar cavalry killed a soldier of the Haw Par Army.
The unexpected and heavy casualties made every Tiger and Par Army cavalry have a shocked expression on their faces. However, after two consecutive close-range cavalry battles, these remaining Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry have unconsciously undergone earth-shaking changes...
At this moment, they are no longer a recruit, but veterans who have seen blood and experienced life and death.
Therefore, the shocked expression only lasted on everyone's face for less than a few seconds, and it was covered by an even more intense expression of heat and bloodthirst.
At this time, before they waited for Luo Jingshan's order, they took the initiative to turn the horse's head, raise the saber, and prepare for a new round of killing......
As for the Tartar deputy general Wu Muqi, looking at the fewer and fewer soldiers around him, the expression of despair on his face became thicker and thicker. However, before receiving the order to retreat, he still did not hesitate to order his subordinates to prepare for a new round of charge. (To be continued......)
