After the imperial reinforcements began to advance to the battlefield regardless of their own efforts, as time went by, the losses caused by the continuous attack of more than ten mortars of the Tiger and Leopard Army were becoming less and less.●⌒,

After all, these people are veterans who have joined the New Army for more than one year.

As they become more and more familiar with the flowering bullets fired by the mortar, to a certain extent, they can already avoid the mass damage caused by the flowering bullets to themselves.

The flowering bullets with a scream had just arrived above their heads, and they were no longer panicked when they were attacked at the beginning. They were as if they had agreed, and they were lying on the ground to minimize casualties.

Seeing that the soldiers under his command had only suffered less than 500 casualties, he walked forward three or four miles again, and could clearly hear the gunshots and cannons from the battlefield.

The general's solemn expression of losing a thousand soldiers finally became relaxed.

It is obvious that his tactics and tactics played a role. Even if the more than a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who had sneaked into him were still moving around him, facing the nine thousand soldiers who were holding him in a group, he could only stare at him without any help.

So, the general in a good mood ordered the troops to continue to maintain formation, embrace them together, and speed up the marching speed...

As a veteran who has been through the battlefield, he has already felt from the increasingly fierce gunfire and cannons on the battlefield that the Tiger and Leopard Army is launching a final general attack on the 5,000 new soldiers in the encirclement. If he doesn't hurry to the battlefield and force the Tiger and Leopard Army to retreat, the 5,000 soldiers he reinforces will be finished...

However, when he issued the order, he seemed to have forgotten to bring out the twenty red cannons and hundreds of gunners from Nanjing City.

With the speed of the marching in front of him, hundreds of gunners tried their best to follow closely, without falling behind, allowing the nine thousand soldiers under his command to protect twenty red-clothed cannons in the middle of the team to ensure the safety of the red-clothed cannons.

However, as the marching speed continued to accelerate, hundreds of gunners with twenty red cannons slowly showed signs of falling behind.

In order to ensure the safety of these red-clothed cannons, the two thousand new army musketeers who were responsible for protecting these red-clothed cannons had to fall behind.

Therefore, the nine thousand new imperial army, which had just been embraced, changed its formation at this moment.

The seven thousand new troops were still embraced and continued to reinforce the battlefield at an increasingly rapid pace.

Two thousand musketeers and hundreds of gunners began to fall behind under the drag of the red cannon.

More importantly, because twenty red-clothed cannons lined up on the official road, stretching for a mile. The two thousand musketeers responsible for protecting these red-clothed cannons had to drag the formation along.

Such a situation is absolutely fatal for the new army reinforcements.

The two Qianzheng, who marched with the artillery, were very aware of the dangers they might face.

So, the artillery team had just shown signs of separation from the main force, and the two thousand generals sent troops to report the situation to the general, hoping that the 7,000 vanguards would be able to slow down the marching speed, and wait for themselves and hundreds of gunners.

However, before their Chuanling soldiers had delivered the news to the general, the two generals least wanted to see happened.

The roaring sound of horse hooves was like thunder. From far to near, it spread from the left side of the official road to the ears of the two generals.

When the two generals quickly reacted from the shock, the dense figures of the Tiger and Leopard Army's cavalry, with more than a thousand handles raised high, and the sabre that was emitting a cold light, appeared in the field of vision of the two at the same time...

It turned out that when his subordinates proposed to directly confront the imperial reinforcements head-on, the regiment commander made the decision to attack the new army's rear guard.

Because, compared with the vigilant forward, attacking the rear guards can not only exceed the expectations of the new army general, but also reduce the casualties of the cavalry under his command to a minimum.

Just when he finally moved more than a thousand cavalry under his command to the left wing of the opponent's defender unit and was about to launch an attack under the cover of mortars, a very unexpected surprise fell directly from the sky and appeared in front of the cavalry regiment.

The two thousand musketeers who protected the artillery actually separated from the main force and turned into a lonely army...

In this case, the artillery fire that only needs to be responsible for the cover is fierce enough that it can be used to make more than a thousand cavalry under his command rush to the Guandao at the minimum cost... Because the two thousand new army musketeers who protect the red cannons are too scattered.

As long as the timing is right, the artillery fire under cover is fierce enough that it can rush to Guandao and fight with them before the opponent completes the assembly and forms a large-scale musket array.

The regiment commander is confident that as long as the cavalry under his command are fighting with them, the final victory will belong to him.

Such a good fighter plane suddenly appeared in front of him, of course the regiment commander would not let it go.

The more than a thousand cavalry under his command had just completed the assembly and issued an offensive order without hesitation.

So, the scene before the battlefield...

Seeing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who rushed towards him one or two hundred steps away, the two Qianmao reacted after just a brief shock.

Then, without any hesitation, he ordered the scattered musketeers to quickly assemble to form a musket array, and use a steady stream of lead bullets to block the attack of the Tiger and Leopard cavalry.

But just as they gathered quickly with a hint of chaos and panic.

The screaming sound of the flowering bullets passing through the sky just hit their ears.

In the chaos, they had not had time to react, and a violent explosion sounded on the official road.

Because when the flowering bullets landed, the two thousand new troops were gathering in chaos, and no one responded to avoiding artillery fire.

More than ten flowering bullets once again achieved great results in killing and injuring forty or fifty people on the official road.

And when they knew this time, they reacted in chaos.

However, this reaction not only did not speed up their assembly speed, but instead made the two thousand musketeers on the official road even more chaotic...

Faced with this cruel reality, the two Qianzhu had to give up the idea of ​​assembling into a musket array.

Then, an order was immediately issued to form a musket array with a unit of hundreds of people and fight each other...

For fast charge cavalry, only a sufficiently dense and continuous stream of lead bullets can truly block them.

And this requires a huge and orderly musket array to achieve this. This is also the specific reason why the cavalry commander dares to use cavalry to attack the opponent's main force.

Now, once the huge musket array is separated, there is no way to ensure the density and continuity of lead bullets.
