Chapter six hundred and eighty first

On the vast grassland, thousands of Tartars were driving cattle and sheep to migrate to the depths of the Later Jin Dynasty with panic on their faces.

A roar of shaking mountains suddenly sounded behind them.

Immediately afterwards, the earth under their feet began to tremble.

For them who grew up on horseback, they are very familiar with this sound.

Before the Tartars were warned in the rear, they had time to issue a warning, and the panic on their faces was shrouded in despair.

Because the roaring horse hooves had already clearly told them that the Han cavalry who were pursuing them had arrived...

More importantly, the size of these Han cavalry is at least 5,000.

And his tribe... Apart from the elderly, weak, women and children, there are less than 3,000 young and strong people who can fight...

The young and strong men who were equipped with only cold weapons were used to fight against more than 5,000 equipped muskets and well-trained Tiger and Leopard Army cavalry. As long as you are not a fool, you will know that there is only one result for waiting for the three thousand young and strong men, that is, the entire army will be destroyed...

However, as Sun Chengzong had guessed at the beginning, even if the Tartars knew that they would leave behind three thousand young and strong men to block the pursuit of the Tiger and Leopard Army, these three thousand young and strong men would definitely not escape death. However, they still made this decision without hesitation.

In the eyes of the Tartars, only in this way can the entire tribe not be destroyed...

Only in this way can the tribe's cattle, sheep, livestock, and the elderly, weak, women and children survive.

Otherwise, no matter which of these two is lost, it will be a catastrophe for the entire tribe.

However, what the Tartars did not expect was that their ideas and purposes had been seen through by Sun Chengzong...

The three thousand young Tartars have just finished their formation. They are ready to use their own death to give the tribe a chance to survive...

However, their purpose and ideas are just to think about them themselves...

When the commander of the Cavalry Division saw the three thousand young Tartars blocking him, the commander's face showed an unexpected thought. While he continued to pursue the horse, he ordered his subordinates...

"The first battalion of the Cavalry Division, attack immediately. Fight head-on, drag these Tartars... others, bypass the battlefield with me... If nothing unexpected happens, there are cattle, sheep, livestock and finances we are going to pursue..."

With the waving of the flag, the five hundred musketeers rushed to the front and quickly left the formation of the cavalry division.

While continuing to charge, he set out a fan-shaped attack formation that was most suitable for the power of a musket. Then, like an unstoppable wave, he paved towards the three thousand green Tartars.

The Tartars, who were still two miles away, were not sure why the Tiger and Leopard Army only sent five or six hundred musketeers to deal with them. However, since the other party was here, they had to fight.

Otherwise, when the other party rushed to him, he would definitely disrupt the entire military formation...

So, the three thousand young Tartars met without any hesitation.

As the distance between the two armies became closer, the charge formation of the five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry also appeared clearly in the Tartars' vision.

When they saw that the 500-strong Tiger and Leopard Cavalry actually put on a long tongue formation that was very easy to be broken by their opponents in front of them, the Tartars, who had a little military knowledge, became confident on their faces.

Then, without any hesitation, he spread his troops, preparing to use his military strength to solve the five hundred Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at one time...

Soon, the distance between the two armies was shortened from two miles to less than three hundred steps.

Because the two armies are charging against each other, and the cavalry far exceeds the charge speed of the infantry, the two cavalry units may collide together in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on the opposite side suddenly changed to control the war horse with both legs and slowed down the charge speed of the war horse...

"What do these Han people want to do? Don't they know that speed means victory on the battlefield of cavalry fighting... What is the difference between slowing down the speed of the horse's charge now and dying..."

The doubts on the Tartars' face were slowly replaced by the heat.

It is even believed that although the Han people are very powerful in infantry combat, they know nothing about cavalry combat.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who had charged to a distance of 150 steps, had completely stopped charging speed.

Then, the five hundred musketeers riding on the war horses quickly picked up the musket, aiming the black hole muzzle at the three thousand young Tartars who were still rushing towards him at a very fast speed...

One hundred steps, the distance between the two armies, and there are still the last hundred steps left in a blink of an eye.

The five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry did not hesitate at all and directly pulled the trigger of the musket he held in his hand.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire sounded on the battlefield, and overshadowed the roar of horse hooves caused by the galloping of thousands of war horses...

After firing the lead bullets in the musket, the five hundred cavalrymen put away the musket without even seeing the results.

Then, turn the horse's head and start retreating in the direction he rushed to.

The three thousand young Tartars who thought they were in the victory had not yet figured out what was going on, and more than 300 people fell on the charge. The Tiger and Leopard Army, who caused all this, even started to run away without even a big greeting...

Such a battle process obviously angered the remaining two thousand young and strong people of the Tartars...

Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry who were fleeing in front of me, more than 2,000 young Tartars, wielding their sabers to pursue without thinking...

With the speed of the cavalry's pursuit on the battlefield, more than two thousand Tartars chased them three or four miles away in a blink of an eye.

At this moment, the main force of the cavalry division, who had been following the five hundred cavalry, saw that the Tartars had focused all their attention on the first battalion.

I went around the battlefield directly, avoided the battlefield, and continued to pursue the memory...

Seeing more than 5,000 tiger and leopard cavalry passing by quickly, the young Tartars who were still full of anger just now finally reacted.

What's more, some young Tartars directly cursed on the horse's back, calling the Tiger and Leopard Army cunning!

However, no matter how they scold or adjust the deployment, it is too late...

In this blink of an eye, the main force of the cavalry division had already rushed out two miles away.

If they adjust the direction now and pursue the main force of the cavalry division. The time it takes for them to adjust the pursuit direction alone will be enough for the main force of the cavalry division to lengthen the distance between the two armies by another mile.

Besides, the five hundred soldiers of the cavalry division used to hold them were not vegetarians.
