"Woo woo woo ......" sounded on the battlefield with the dull sound of horns, and the six thousand post-Jin troops, like four huge chariots, drove out of their positions and came and went to the battlefield that was still filled with the smell of blood.

However, the first thing Xie Hui saw on the battlefield was not the Han Eight Banner musketeers holding muskets. Rather, it is a very neat row of shield carts.

No, it's not so much a shield cart as an ordinary cart transporting grain and grass. In order to protect against buckshot, a thick wooden board was nailed to the front of the cart.

But even so, these shield vehicles can block the lead bullets fired by the Haw Par's new tunnel-fired muskets from a distance of 100 paces.

Faced with this sudden situation, Xie Hui, who was still beaming with joy just now because of the formation of the chest wall, became solemn again.

Because, the appearance of shield carts directly means that the Tartars can use these shield carts to directly rush to a position less than 100 steps away from them.

Of course, you can also concentrate your artillery and destroy it with flowering shells before the shield cart goes into range of the musket. However, in this way, the six thousand attacking troops sent by the Tartars, before they were a hundred and fifty paces away, would not receive any blows.

You must know that in the battle that just ended, even if the Tartar attack formation was very scattered, the artillery under his command caused at least 1,000 casualties to the Tartar attacking force one hundred and fifty paces ago.

Xie Hui didn't dare to imagine that if there were no more than 1,000 casualties, he would let these more than 1,000 people rush into the position under his feet at the last moment. There are not many soldiers under his command, and how many people can be left in the end.

So, the shelling before a hundred and fifty steps from the position, for the entire defense. are crucial.

And now. Cunning post-gold tartars. He actually used a shield cart to put himself in a dilemma and had to give up the artillery bombardment of the Tartar attacking troops.

Thinking of this, Xie Hui, whose face was solemn, had to order helplessly: "The Tartars are too cunning, forcing us to use artillery to destroy their shield car...... Order, all artillery, to fire as fast as possible. Destroy the shield cart used by the Tartars to block buckshot. ”

"After that, concentrate artillery fire and shell the Tartar attacking troops?"

"Now I hope that the breastwork and sword formations we have worked so hard to build will make up for the casualties caused by the artillery to the Tartars......"

On the small position of the Tiger and Leopard Army, Xie Hui's order had just been exported, and on the artillery position where more than 100 mortars had been assembled, the gunners squatting on the ground one by one, like clockwork, quickly began to adjust the muzzles.

Soon. The roaring sound of artillery sounded at the artillery position.

Medium and heavy mortars with a range that can reach the Tartar shield vehicle. It's like an angry lion, completely ignoring the possible effect of continuous firing on the barrel, and continuously shoots flowering projectiles out of the barrel.

Soon, the shield carts lined up by the Tartars were shrouded in the ease created by the explosion of the flowering bombs.

However, the shield cart is lifeless, and its rough wooden structure means that unless the Blossom Bullet hits it directly, or it explodes next to it. Otherwise, there is simply no way to inflict a fatal blow on the shield car.

Therefore, the explosion of flowering shells on the battlefield is dense and violent.

However, the number of shield cars destroyed by these flowering shells is only a handful.

The only thing that made Xie Hui feel fortunate was that with the continuous attack of the Tartars, getting closer and closer to the position, the hit rate of the flowering bombs became higher and higher, and of course, the number of shield vehicles destroyed by the flowering shells also increased.

In the face of the attack, the Tartar attacking forces had no way to fight back. However, they did not let go of this opportunity to charge.

When they saw that all the artillery fire of the Haw Par Army was concentrated on the shield car, it was rare to encounter this kind of Tartar and Han Eight Banner musketeers who had no artillery bombardment and casualties, as if they had suddenly eaten chicken blood, pushing the shield car and charging forward desperately, reducing the time they might be shelled by the Haw Par Army.

The Tartar strain, without a doubt, is very useful.

When they rushed all the way to a hundred and forty paces away from the position of the Tiger and Par Army, the shield cart in front of them was completely destroyed.

And in the entire attack, the 6,000-strong Jin Army, only a few hundred Han Eight Banner musketeers who pushed the shield cart, blocked the way of the charge.

As for the two thousand iron cavalry with the strongest melee ability of the Houjin army, there were hardly a single casualty.

Faced with this expected result, Xie Hui hurriedly ordered: "Artillery, concentrate all artillery fire, shell the Tartar cavalry...... Musketeers, shoot immediately, block the Houjin Army musketeers......"

Xie Hui's order was very timely, but it did not achieve the expected results.

Perhaps it was the heavy casualties in the last attack that shocked the Tartars too much. In this attack, the Tartar cavalry, which was already half of the size and was already very scattered, became even more dispersed at this moment in order to guard against the flowering bullets

A round of more than a dozen flowering shells exploded, and it took less than twenty casualties to the Tartar cavalry.

As for the results achieved by the musketeers, they were also very poor.

Although they lost their shield cars, the Tartar musketeers, who had been prepared for a long time, also prepared thousands of shields.

Although it could not block the lead bullets fired by the musket at close range, it was still very useful at a distance of a hundred paces.

Therefore, the musketeers had more than a hundred lead bullets per round, and unless the blind cat hit the dead mouse, it was difficult to inflict a fatal blow on these musketeers from a hundred paces away.

After seeing these situations in his eyes, although Xie Hui was very anxious, he did not have the slightest solution.

With everyone's anxious waiting, the Tartar musketeers finally rushed to a position a hundred paces from the position.

As a new round of gunfire rang out, more than a hundred lead bullets whistled out and flew towards the target. The shield that the Tartar held in his hand finally became an ornament.

The high-speed flying lead bullet lightly pierced the shield with a thickness of one inch, and then, with undiminible power, pierced into the back of the shield, the chest of the musketeer of the Han Eight Banners.

Maybe it's because they trust the shield in their hands too much, in order to better block the buckshot. The musketeers holding shields actually stood in a dense row, so that the shields in their hands formed a shield wall in front of them.

And this left the Haw Par musketeers a chance to shoot at a live target.

A round of more than a hundred buckshots, although not a lot. However, these buckshot bullets were bullets that bit the flesh, and none of them missed. In the blink of an eye, a whole row of Han Eight Banner musketeers with more than sixty people fell on the dense line of shield walls.

Facing the long-lost results in front of him, Xie Hui's tense face finally showed a smile.

Then, with excitement on his face, he shouted: "Shoot, keep shooting, and shoot ......as soon as you can kill and wound as many of these musketeers as you can while they are not yet dispersed."

Opportunities are precious, but they don't last long.

After three rounds of lead bullets and two hundred Han Eight Banner musketeers were shot in a row, the musketeers who gathered together finally noticed that something was wrong and quickly dispersed.

But even so, every round of buckshot fired by the Haw Par Army could still kill and injure at least 30 of these musketeers.

When they rushed to the range of the old muskets in their hands, they still paid the price of almost two hundred casualties.

At this time, the remaining 500 Han and Eight Banner musketeers on the battlefield were as if they had suddenly found a target to vent in anger. Raising the musket, he pointed at the Haw Par Army dozens of paces away, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In an instant, hundreds of lead bullets with the breath of death flew out of the barrel of the gun and flew towards the Haw Par Army.

However, compared to the results achieved by the Han Eight Banners in the first attack, this time it seems to be very few.

There is only one reason, that is, a breastwork wall made of various corpses in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

The lead bullets fired by the Tartar musketeers could not hurt the Hawpanthers hiding behind the breastwork. The lead bullets fired by the Haw Par Army can easily kill and injure Tartar musketeers.

In comparison, the attacked Haw Par Army was as if they had taken a tranquilizer, ignoring the buckshot fired by the Tartars. Not only that, but they also shot lead bullets desperately forward at an unprecedented rate of fire.

Under such circumstances, more than 500 Tartar musketeers, almost every step forward, had to pay a very heavy price. And the defending Haw Par Army, at least so far, still has little to lose.

After paying more than 100 losses again, the Tartar musketeers, who were charging with lead bullets, finally rushed into the range of grenades.

Faced with an enemy close at hand, the Haw Par Army, with limited troops, had to split a pair of musketeers to drop bombs.

At this time, the problem of insufficient strength of the Haw Par Army was completely demonstrated.

After the musketeers were separated to drop their shells, a rain of grenades continued to fall in front of the position, although it was very dense as the attack just now. However, the remaining musketeers fired much less buckshot.

In addition, there were more than 400 Tartar musketeers at this time, far more than the previous round of attacks.

In the end, there were still more than a hundred musketeers, breaking through the grenade interception, and appeared in front of the Haw Par Army.

The more than 100 musketeers who had just had a smile on their faces did not directly attack in the face of the Haw Par Army, which was close at hand. Instead, he continued to face the lead bullets shot by the Haw Par Army, and used his body to clear a passage for the follow-up Tartar iron horsemen around the position of the Haw Par Army.

Not only that, but there were also some musketeers who hid directly behind the breastwork, destroying the breastwork, and creating gaps in the breastwork that would allow the cavalry to quickly pass through guò

Faced with this situation, when the division commander Xie Hui was shocked in his heart that these traitors were not afraid of death on the battlefield, his mouth was not idle.

Because, who controls the entire battle situation, he knows very well the importance of this chest wall in front of him in the case of insufficient troops.

It can be said that with this breastwork in front of him and the saber barbs behind the breastwork, he can take down at least a hundred Tartars. In this way, in this battle, his hope of victory will increase a lot.

But if the breastwork is destroyed, these more than a hundred cavalrymen who should have died on the way to the charge will rush into the position under their feet.

As a result, his own troops, which were already very insufficient, had to face more Tartar cavalry. At this time, if you don't talk about the odds of winning early, you may not even have a chance to win. (To be continued......)
