There are flowering bullets that keep falling down above the head, and in front are dense lead bullets that keep flying towards you...

Faced with the ubiquitous attack on the battlefield, the Tatar cavalry once again suffered losses of thousands of people in a short period of time.

More importantly, under the cover of this breath of death, their morale and fighting courage have slowly dissipated invisibly. The facial expressions that were still full of passion before the war were now covered by paleness and panic...

Facing the Tiger and Leopard Army musket formation that still has seventy or eighty steps in the original state, facing the battlefield full of murderous intent in front of me, I don’t know how many lives it will be filled in. So far, the Tartars, who are still alive and lucky enough to escape the attacks, began to hesitate...

Because, according to the combat style of the Later Jin army, their courage and death on the battlefield will not only not bring any reward to their families, but will also make their families become vassals of other Later Jin warriors.

In this case, the reason why the Tartars were so brave on the battlefield was because they fought with the best of their own battles and were victories... In these battles, their chances of death were very small.

Not only that, after winning the battle, they can also plunder their own spoils on the battlefield, and increase their income for their families behind them.

So in the face of this increasingly serious casualties, we have not seen any hope of victory, and even we may die at any time. These Tartars, who are accustomed to winning battles, immediately had the idea of ​​fear and fear...

They want to live, leave the battlefield alive, and go home alive...

However, if this offense continues, this idea of ​​wanting to survive will become a dream that will never be realized...

In this case, they lost their morale and fighting courage and began to fear the attack. Unconsciously, they slowed down their charge and prayed that the lead bullets shot in front would not be patronized by themselves.

What's more, some Tartar cavalry have begun to deliberately slow down their horse speed, mix in the middle of the cavalry, and be prepared to retreat at any time.

The generals at all levels of the Tartars scattered among the cavalry were very aware of the changes in the morale of the iron cavalry under their command.

However, they had no choice.

Because in the Later Jin army, their cavalry were to a certain extent their private property.

In other words, the greater the losses of the soldiers under his command, the greater the losses they will be. After the battle, if his losses are too great, his Niulu will be merged by other Niulu like the families of the fallen soldiers under his command...

Therefore, these general orders not only did not stop the reactions of the soldiers under their command, but also gave a default attitude.

However, because the troops had not received the retreat order, they had to insist on continuing to attack forward. Otherwise, they would have led their soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield, even if they were the leaders of local tribes and the orders of lieutenant generals.

The main position of the Later Jin army had completely regarded this attack as a gambling commander of the Later Jin army. Although his face was gloomy and red as if he could drip blood. However, this conceited commander of the Later Jin army still did not intend to issue a retreat order.

In this hesitation and stalemate, the low-morning cavalry of the Later Jin finally rushed to forty steps from the Tiger and Leopard Army Musket Formation.

From seventy or eighty steps to forty steps, although there was only a charge distance of less than forty steps. However, the vast Tartar cavalry again suffered a loss of about a thousand people because of their hesitation and slowing down their horse speed.

Faced with more than half of the troops, all the Later Jin cavalry involved in the attack were on the verge of collapse.

It is certain that these Later Jin cavalry, as long as they suffer another fatal blow, will directly collapse on the battlefield.

On the contrary, the commander of the Later Jin army on the main position of the Later Jin army.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command had rushed to the Tiger and Leopard Army Musket Formation, his gloomy facial expression just now was replaced by a smile.

He said excitedly to his subordinates, "There are only more than thirty steps left... The warriors are ordered to continue rushing forward. As long as he rushes to the Tiger and Leopard Army position, the final victory will be ours..."

At this moment, facing the commander's clamor, everyone's faces showed a smile from the bottom of their hearts.

In their eyes, as long as the offensive troops can hold on to the last moment, victory will come to them.

Just as all of them were slowly relaxing, a sudden change on the battlefield directly restored their faces to their solemn and shocked expressions.

They had never seen a grenade before they could react, and the dense explosion sounded reached their ears.

More importantly, less than thirty steps away from the Tiger and Leopard Musketeers, a smoke wall composed of black smoke rose from the ground at the moment of the explosion.

On the battlefield with the sound of gunfire, as long as the cavalry under his command crashed into the smoke wall, all of them fell to the ground without exception.

The explosion of the first round of grenades was not over yet, and the flying grenades were still flying around in the middle of the smoke wall. The second round of grenades had already flown over.

After the dense explosion sounded again, the smoke and grenade fragments produced by the explosion further strengthened the intensity and lethality of the smoke wall... This smoke wall completely became the life and death wall that ruined the Tartar cavalry...

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Tartar cavalry died in front of this smoke wall.

Facing the corpse wall composed of hundreds of Tartar corpses in front of you, and the smoke wall that is full of murderous intent in front of you, these Tartars, who are already on the verge of collapse, have no idea to persevere.

Regardless of the roars of generals at all levels around him, he turned his horse's head and planned to bypass the smoke wall blocking his face and retreat.

With the first Tartar cavalry to take the lead in escaping, other Tartar cavalry that collapsed on the same battlefield and lost the courage to fight. Under the instigation of this idea of ​​living, they directly followed suit and rushed to escape backwards.

The main position of the Later Jin army, facing a series of sudden changes on the battlefield. The expression on the commander's face has changed from shock to the current incredible ones. Yes, it is incredible…

The combat effectiveness of his opponent Tiger Leopard Army is incredible, and the soldiers under his command are incredible, and the defeat of the battlefield...

"Defeated... I was defeated... The invincible warriors of the Later Jin army were defeated by themselves without even touching the blade of the Tiger and Leopard Army... Is it because the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Army is too strong, or the combat effectiveness of the Later Jin warriors is too weak..." Faced with the end of the defeat of the soldiers under their command, the commander of the Later Jin army was like an angry lion, roaring loudly.

At this time, a deputy general standing beside him could not bear it anymore.

After the roar of the commander of the later march, the deputy general directly said: "Prince, the combat effectiveness of the warriors has not been weakened. It's just that the losses paid by the warriors in this attack were too great."

"In the past battles with the Ming border army, the warriors could rush into the opponent's position by paying at most 10% of the total force. However, in the battle just now, the losses paid by the warriors had reached 60% of the total force. After paying such a huge loss, they had not yet rushed into the opponent's position. Even the army with strong combat power could not continue to fight."

Under the reminder of the deputy general, the leader of the army, who had been paying attention to the attack speed of his soldiers, finally turned his attention to his subordinates who had begun to defeat.

Under the crazy attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army muskets and artillery, like a dog from a family, the warriors under their command who were in a crazy defeat were no longer enough to go to the battlefield. More importantly, under the crazy attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army muskets and artillery, these defeated warriors were still falling to the ground and turning into corpses.

Not only that, the thousands of Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry that had been protecting the two wings of the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers were like wolves smelling bloody smells, yelling at the warriors who were retreating under their command.

"No, the Tiger and Leopard Army wants to wipe out the warriors we are retreating." After his face changed constantly, he exclaimed directly in front of him.

Then, he shouted at the deputy general who was also stunned by his side, "What are you doing when you are still standing there? I will immediately draw 6,000 iron cavalry to attack, block the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and save the retreating warriors."

"Yes, the prince" answered quickly when the deputy general who received the order.

Soon, the six thousand Tartar cavalry rushed towards the battlefield with the sound of roaring horse hooves.

Facing the Tartar cavalry that was like a sharp sword unraveling, Wei Zheng knew that in close combat, his field cavalry division would never have the possibility of victory after colliding with the same number of Tartar cavalry.

In this case, retreating is the only way to preserve the cavalry divisions under his command.

Therefore, Wei Zheng had to give up the fleeing Tartar cavalry and ordered the cavalry division to retreat.

However, Wei Zheng is not the kind of person who suffers losses.

After looking at the artillery position behind him, he loudly ordered: "The heavy artillery regiment, two heavy artillery battalions, concentrate all artillery and shell the cavalry that the Tartars had just rushed out. No matter what, they must leave some Tartars on the battlefield."

"Mortar companies, don't save me shells. Keep bombing me against the retreating troops of the Tartars. If you can, you will be killed as much as you can. In a word, you can't let them withdraw their positions safely."

Hundreds of artillery of various calibers and models once again took the artillery cluster shooting to the extreme on the battlefield under the control of their respective gunners.

The dense flowering bullets, like rain, exploded after chasing the Tartar cavalry, sweeping the scattered Tartar cavalry on the way to retreat.

Soon, the Tartar cavalry dropped their bodies along the way.

As for the six thousand iron cavalry that the Tartars had just touched, although they only circled around the battlefield for a while, they retreated like a wind.
