Chapter 145: Frightened Huang Taiji
Three thousand elite cavalrymen inlaid with yellow flags, plus thousands of guards from Huang Taiji and others. This book runs wildly from a total of four thousand cavalrymen, heading towards the direction of Moguyu Valley.
Because the Tartars came too quickly, when the rumbling sound of horse hooves reached Moguyu, Wei Zheng, who was guarding Moguyu, got the news that the Tartars were invading again...
"The Tartars are here again, and all the cavalry are here..." After hearing this news, Wei Zheng's first thought was that his subordinates had read it wrong and asked the messenger with a full face of suspicion.
The messenger shouted: "Report to the general, we read it right... At least the Taurus cavalry is approaching our Mushroom Valley quickly... According to the speed of the Taurus cavalry running, at the latest one cup of tea can appear outside Mushroom Valley City."
Faced with this shocking news, before Wei Zheng spoke, Zhou Shuyuan around him had already taken the lead and said: "General, what does the Tartar mean..."
"The Tartars have fought with us more than once. They should know that in our Tiger and Leopard Army, their cavalry will not only not bring them benefits, but will also become their burdens, and will directly become our living targets on the battlefield..."
Wei Zheng nodded with approval and replied: "Yes... With Dorgon's wisdom, she could not see this. Besides, it's only been almost ten days since we defeated him last time. In such a short time, we attacked us again, and the cavalry that was most unfavorable to them were dispatched. This is definitely not Dorgon's combat style."
"General, do you mean?" Zhou Shuyuan asked in confusion.
Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "I don't know the specific reason why the Tartars sent troops to us at this time. However, there is one thing that I am very confident. With the immediate strength of our firearms troops, as long as the Tartars come to attack us, we will dare to defeat them and make them pay the price..."
Speaking of this, a serious expression quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face, and he shouted at Zhou Shuyuan: "Order the musket regiment. Enter the trenches outside the city immediately and prepare for the enemy... The artillery battalion will immediately draw a medium-sized Folang artillery team to go up, and you must hurry up. Be sure to prepare for the enemy before the Tartars arrive."
Thousands of elite cavalrymen stopped abruptly and stopped two miles in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army's position. Then, using Niulu as a unit, ten cavalry phalanxes were quickly formed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the attack order.
At this time, Huang Taiji, who had been following the troops, appeared.
Surrounded by Dorgon and others, Huang Taiji, wearing golden armor, slowly walked out of the military formation on a war horse. Then, he raised his monocular lens and began to observe the tiger and leopard army positions two miles away.
Because the Tiger and Leopard Army was in front of a wall of earth, Dorgon, the only one who knew this secret, kept silent about this matter in order to get rid of the charge of ineffective command. Therefore, Huang Taiji, who was holding a monocular lens, did not find the secret hidden behind the earth wall.
Under Dorgon's gaze, Huang Taiji, who had observed the position, quickly flashed a sneer on his face. He said to Dorgon with a sarcastic look: "Fourth brother, the Tiger and Leopard Army you mentioned in front... isn't it? Are they planning to block our cavalry warriors with a wall that is only three feet high?"
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji, who had not yet waited for Dorgon to reply, shouted: "The terrain here is limited, the troops cannot be used, and it is impossible to launch a large-scale cavalry charge against the enemy. However, I am confident. With the combat effectiveness of the warriors, I only need a Niulu to break through the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."
"Fulun, send a Niu Lu immediately to break the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army..."
After the deafening sound of horse hooves rang out of the battlefield, the three hundred Taurus cavalry rushed out of the army. It was like a sharp sword that was unsheathed, quickly rushing towards the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Thousands of Tartar cavalry charge have been seen, not to mention three hundred Tartar cavalry.
Therefore, facing the closer and closer Tartar cavalry, none of the musketeers showed a nervous expression on their faces.
Looking at the cavalry that was advancing towards him quickly, as if he was looking at a group of prey, he held the musket tightly, lay behind the retaining wall, and quietly aimed at the Tartars who were getting closer and closer to him, preparing to give the Tartars a fatal blow at the right distance.
However, before the musketeers could fire, the ten Flang machines mixed in between the musketeers had already fired one step ahead of time.
After the roaring cannon sounded, more than two thousand lead bullets fired by the cannon quickly formed an airtight bullet net in front of the position. Under the gaze of everyone on the battlefield, wherever the bullet net went, whether it was the Tartars riding on the war horse or the horses running wildly, they all fell to the ground without exception.
In just the blink of an eye, almost one-sixth of the three hundred Tatar cavalry fell down.
Ten Folang machines shot two rounds of lead bullets forward again, and after destroying hundreds of Tartars, the Taurus cavalry, who had only half of the troops, finally rushed into the range of the muskets.
"The Musket Team...Fire..."
"Smack it..."
"Mustgage Team 2...fire...fire...fire...fire..."
Three hundred muskets, in units of one hundred, kept firing forward in turn.
The Tartars, who were about to rush to the Tiger and Leopard Army, seemed to be targeted by the God of Death. Every step forward, they had to pay one, or even several cavalry's lives...
So, a pure unilateral massacre began under the gaze of Huang Taiji.
When the continuous gunfire of the battlefield stopped, all the three hundred Tartars who were responsible for attacking had fallen on the charge.
As for Huang Taiji himself, holding a telescope, he looked at the battlefield still shrouded in smoke with a dull look on his face, and the battlefield was everywhere...????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????, but he had no intention of admitting defeat.
He said to Dorgon with a stubborn look: "No, we did not lose... No matter how many firearm troops of the Tiger and Leopard Army are, they cannot be fully launched on the battlefield. As long as we increase the attack strength and disperse the attack formation as much as possible, we can break through the Tiger and Leopard Army position with the minimum casualties and eliminate them."
I have to say that Huang Tai Chi's military literacy is very good.
In just a blink of an eye, you can see the pros and cons of the battlefield and think of a tactic that you think can win.
So, a new round of attack was launched again under the insistence of Huang Taiji.
Dorgon, who had suffered many losses in the hands of the Tiger and Leopard Army, knew very well that Huang Taiji's attack would definitely end in failure. However, Dorgon did not say anything to dissuade him. For the sake of his rights, he had to tell Huang Taiji through a failure to turn the head and tail that the main responsibility for the death of thousands of warriors on the battlefield was not himself.
If he is responsible for the death of thousands of soldiers, Huang Taiji, as the emperor, must also be responsible for the soldiers who have just died in battle and are about to die in battle. Thus, he has to give up punishing himself and deprive himself of military power.
A thousand cavalry scattered and attacked the Tiger and Leopard Army, looking down from the air, like waves after wave, constantly rushing towards the Tiger and Leopard Army positions.
Like the battle just now, as soon as the cavalry under his command entered the range of the opponent's firearms, the roaring cannon began to sound on the battlefield.
As Huang Taiji imagined, the results achieved by the Tiger and Leopard Arms Force were not ideal in the face of the fully launched cavalry. Although there were still continuous warriors being shot and dropped, the distance between the two armies was getting shorter and shorter.
Based on this loss and attack speed, it is certain that the offensive troops you sent can rush into the Tiger and Leopard Army position and destroy the Tiger and Leopard Army.
As his subordinates rushed farther and farther away, the sound of gunfire that had been sounding at the Tiger and Leopard Army's position began to slowly stop. Huang Taiji's gloomy face finally showed a smile.
As a victor, he said to himself arrogantly: "Now it seems that the Tiger and Leopard Army equipped with a large number of firearms is not very good. He rushed into their army in just two attacks..."
However, before Huang Taiji finished speaking, he was interrupted with a scream.
"What's going on? Why didn't the cavalry continue to charge forward..."
As soon as the words fell, the roaring cannons and gunshots told Huang Taiji why his cavalry stopped moving when they rushed to the line of the earth wall.
Under the gaze of pairs of horror, a continuous stream of cavalry quickly gathered into a human wall on the line of earth. As the sound of gunfire sounded on the second-line positions, the gathering of cavalry were like living targets, cut into pieces by lead bullets and fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry fell off their horses and turned into corpses. The subsequent cavalry continued to charge towards the earth wall and sent them to the guns of the Tiger and Leopard Army waiting for the massacre.
"What's going on? Why our cavalry can't cross the earth wall? Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
After Huang Taiji's murderous roar, everyone focused their eyes on Dorgon. Because among the people in front of him, only Dorgon was really familiar with the Tiger and Leopard Army.
Dorgon did not explain immediately, but said to Huang Taiji, whose face became gloomy again, lightly: "Emperor, relying on cavalry alone, he cannot rush to the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army. If he does not issue an order to withdraw his troops, more than a thousand warriors will all be killed in battle."
