Chapter 643 Start to close the net
On the battlefield, the bravery of the soldiers is a factor that determines the outcome. However, the quality of the weapon, especially in close combat, is also a very important factor...
The musket body that is almost five feet long, plus a bayonet that is one and a half feet long, is more than six feet.
The Tartars had a saber at most, at most three feet away.
More than one hundred remnants of Tartars, although they were very brave and desperate.
However, under the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army muskets and bayonets, they were brave enough to get close to the Tiger and Leopard Army. Before they could get close to the Tiger and Leopard Army, the long bayonets of the Tiger and Leopard Army had easily pierced into their chests, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness in an instant.
Therefore, this sudden melee did not last long and ended with the complete victory of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
A thousand Tartar cavalry, except for the warning scattered around, are now being scouted by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The remaining more than 900 people, without exception, have all become the dead souls under the guns of the Tiger and Leopard Army...
Soon, the deputy commander who counted the results of the battle found the commander and reported with excitement on his face...
"Captain, unexpected, so unexpected... The Tartars that we destroyed were actually the most elite Zhenghuang Banner in the Later Jin Dynasty. Not to mention one man and two horses, each Tartar was wearing at least a layer of iron armor... It was really a big profit..."
The commander's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously sighed: "Zhenghuang Banner... No wonder these Tartars are equipped so well. They turned out to be the Imperial Guards of Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty. Now it seems that luck is coming, and they can't stop it... Hurry up, tell me the specific results..."
"Yes, the regiment commander..." The deputy regiment commander shouted.
"From the current statistics, we seized a total of 1,896 war horses and 2,000 slow horses... As expected, these slow horses were used by the Tartars to transport these equipment and supplies..."
"In addition to the big head of the war horse, there are 1576 pairs of iron armor that we can use..."
"As for the last gain, it is the purpose of our trip, the silver used by the Tartars to trade... After statistics, we found a total of 850,000 taels of silver in the Tartar military camp..."
The cavalry regiment brought the harvest from another city gate dozens of miles away. When they finally returned to the gate.
The lieutenant colonel leader who sent the caravan out of seclusion again stamped his steps in the small command center.
Because it has been a day and a night since the caravan came out of seclusion, as agreed at the time, it is now the time for the caravan to enter seclusion.
However, on the vast grassland outside the pass, not to mention the caravan, even the personal shadow cannot be seen.
"Is there something wrong with the caravan outside the customs..." This was the first thought in the lieutenant colonel's regiment commander.
However, this idea just appeared and was denied by myself.
After all, outside the pass is the territory of the Later Jin Tartars, and the Later Jin Tartars were not so stupid that they ignored the future of the Later Jin Dynasty and were rude to the caravans... In this case, the reason why the caravans had not returned yet can only be attributed to the transaction being pushed back.
Just now, a very rapid footsteps suddenly reached the commander's ears.
You don’t need to look at it and know that it was a confidant battalion commander of his own.
So, the group leader, who looked anxious, asked without thinking: "Lao Zhou, is the caravan that has left the customs and is back..."
The battalion commander hurriedly walked to the regiment commander and quickly replied: "The regiment commander is not yet... the regiment commander is a member of the division headquarters, and there is an important order to announce..."
"Teacher headquarters..." The commander frowned and subconsciously exclaimed.
At the same time, the anxious facial expression just now turned pale.
Then, he asked his subordinates in his trembling voice: "Old Zhou, what are the people coming from the division headquarters to do now? Is the things we did exposed... The division headquarters sent someone to arrest us..."
Battalion Commander Zhou shook his head and replied: "It shouldn't be. All he came was a lieutenant colonel... and he only brought a platoon of musketeers..."
Hearing this, the leader's pale face finally recovered a lot...
Then, he quickly ordered...
"You send someone to the city gate immediately. If the caravan comes back, hide them immediately. You must not let the people of the division headquarters know... The soldiers come to block the water and soil, and so many strong winds and waves have come, I don't believe that I will carry it on this matter. I will go to see the commander from the division headquarters immediately and see what's going on..."
The regiment commander, who was worried about his worries, just walked out of the regiment command center and collided with the lieutenant colonel officer who came down from the division headquarters.
Just as the captain smiled quickly and was about to speak.
The few tiger and leopard soldiers following the lieutenant colonel officer immediately rushed towards him like leopards ready to go.
Before the regiment commander could react, the four tiger and leopard troops had already surrounded him.
Not only that, two short-barrel muskets that were only equipped by the officers of the Tiger and Leopard Army appeared in the hands of the two Tiger and Leopard Army behind them like magic. The two muskets were all pressing against their backs without exception...
Faced with this situation, the leader's forehead subconsciously dripped with big sweat beads.
He knew that it must be the one he helped others to smuggle, otherwise, as his officer, no matter how big the mistake he made, he would not be treated like this.
The artillery, the commander of the regiment, who had a cold sweat on his face, had just been controlled, and the lieutenant colonel standing in front of him took out an order and read it out...
"The lieutenant colonel leader of the garrison regiment violated military orders and assisted others in smuggling materials and equipment to the Tartars... According to the decision of the General Staff, all military positions were removed and escorted to the capital for review... The chief of the garrison regiment was temporarily taken over by the Chief of Staff..."
After the order was read out, the leader slowly reacted from the shock and slowly returned to calm...
Then, he retorted incrediblely to the lieutenant colonel in front of him: "It is impossible. Even if it is the order of the General Staff, it is impossible to come so quickly... I just sent the caravan out of seclusion yesterday and was arrested today... It is absolutely impossible to be the order of the General Staff... Even if it has wings, this order cannot be run for a meeting for hundreds of miles a day and one night..."
The lieutenant colonel replied with a sneer: "If you want to know others, unless you do it yourself... Do you really think that your actions can be hidden from the world... Let me tell you the truth, this military order was written two days ago. As long as I receive the arrest order, I will come to the regiment headquarters to read the order to you and take you down..."
"How is it possible? Impossible..." Hearing this, the commander immediately showed an incredible expression on his face and continued to ask back.
"You must be lying to me. How could the General Staff predict the future? You must be lying..."
At this time, the lieutenant colonel officer standing in front of the regiment commander no longer had the intention to continue arguing on this issue.
Seeing the more soldiers of the garrison regiment gathering around him, he decisively opened his orders...
