The order was issued, and five thousand cavalry transferred from the border troops started to move directly.:.../

After quickly forming a large arrow-shaped attack formation on the battlefield, he slowly drove out of the military camp and rushed towards the defense line of the Tiger and Leopard Army behind the military camp.

Because of the huge role of the staff, the more than 8,000 Tiger and Leopard Army infantry and cavalry that had been deduced on the battlefield had long expected that the government army would have such a move.

Therefore, the vast official and cavalry had just opened out of the military camp.

The more than 8,000 infantry and cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, which were constantly approaching the official army camp, stopped and began to divide the troops.

After a series of fighting, more than a thousand iron cavalry were unexpectedly divided into two, guarding the musketeer on both wings.

The musketeers sent from the front line did the opposite and quickly assembled, taking battalions as units to travel one musket array after another on the battlefield. More importantly, the musket arrays after another were not placed in a straight line in front of the official army. Instead, they were like an arc-shaped pot, pressed upside down in front of the official army.

As for the bottom of the big pot, it is not a coincidence that it is on the official road that is most suitable for cavalry charges.

The reason why so many musketeers are arranged in this way is known by anyone with a discerning eye. The Tiger and Leopard Army intends to use this formation so that every musketeer on the battlefield can use lead bullets to shoot the official cavalry that attacks them.

Zhou Haoguang, who was rushing towards the Tiger and Leopard Army, was very aware of the Tiger and Leopard Army's conspiracy.

However, in order to ensure the speed advantage of the cavalry's charge, even if you know that you would be hit by lead bullets from different directions by the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers, you can only choose the official road and rush towards the hasty Tiger and Leopard Army formation step by step.

Zhou Haoguang, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, is confident. With the combat effectiveness of the 5,000 cavalry under his command, no matter how well the formation of the Tiger and Leopard Army is equipped, no matter how well the flintlock guns are equipped, it is impossible to block him or the 5,000 cavalry under his command.

Zhou Haoguang did not make a mistake. Unless he ordered his five thousand cavalry to attack the Tiger and Leopard Army in a row, letting his cavalry be attacked by the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers as targets. Otherwise, the weak defense line temporarily formed by thousands of musketeers would not be able to block the charge of the official cavalry.

However, the confident Zhou Haoguang ignored another problem, which was the armored cavalry guarding the two wings of the musketeer.

As long as the defense line formed by the musketeers is in danger of being about to be broken through by the official army, these two iron armored cavalry will pierce into the formation of the official army cavalry like a sharp sword, slowing down their offensive pace, and re-adjusting the defense line for the musketeers to gain time.

As the sound of horses trampling on the ground became louder and louder, it was like thunder. It slowly reached the ears of all the soldiers participating in the Tiger and Leopard Army. The powerful momentum brought by the five thousand official and cavalrymen launched a charge together was like thick black clouds before the storm. They quickly approached them, and they were almost breathless...

Two hundred steps... The cavalry that rushed over was still 200 steps away from the battlefield. The dozens of medium-sized mortars hidden behind the musketeers began to move...

Dozens of black flowering bullets flew out of the cannon chamber with a whistling sound, crossed the musket array in front of them, and flew towards a large area of ​​black official cavalry at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under the cover of the roaring horse hooves, the explosion of dozens of flowering bullets can almost be regarded as slim.

However, the black smoke that quickly rose up in the middle of the official cavalry clearly told the Tiger and Leopard Army that these flowering bullets did not disappoint them. At this moment, if you look down from the air, you can clearly see that in the dense cavalry, there will be a circular gap in the square and two battles in the middle of the dense cavalry.

As for the official and cavalry in the gap, all of them were blown to the ground without exception.

However, the cavalry's rushing speed was still too fast. Dozens of medium-sized mortars, just after firing the third round of shells, and the approaching official cavalry had already rushed into the range of 150 steps of the flintlock musket.

So, the sound of musket shooting sounded on the battlefield.

The dense lead bullets, which were as dense as rain, swept across the government troops from different directions one after another.

Under the shooting of these lead bullets, the dense cavalry, like taking off their clothes, were swept to the ground layer after layer by lead bullets, turning into corpses.

However, the firing rate of the flintlock musket is limited after all. No matter how hard the musketeers try, their killing speed is not as good as the charge speed of the Guanjun cavalry.

In a blink of an eye, densely packed official and cavalry approached seventy or eighty steps away again.

And their losses, even if the flowering bullets were caused to them, could only reach six or seven hundred people, and even less than 20% of the total cavalry of the official army.

At this time, although dozens of light mortars with limited range joined the battlefield, they still had no way to change the increasingly harsh situation of the Tiger and Leopard Army on the battlefield.

Soon, the mighty cavalry rushed to less than fifty steps away from the musketeer. The bomb dropper, who was guarding the musketeer, began to prepare grenades and prepare to drop bombs.

The iron armored cavalry who had been guarding both wings moved...

Two cavalrymen that reflected a cold light outward under the sunlight. They looked down from a high place and rushed towards the official cavalry located on the official road.

Soon, the cavalry from three different directions collided with each other.

Just now, the cavalry attacked the formation continuously, and it was directly broken into two pieces under the horizontal insertion of the two iron armored cavalry.

The subsequent official cavalry, intercepted by a thousand iron-armed cavalry, had to slow down the attack and fight with two iron-armed cavalry. As for the hundreds of official cavalry who were decapitated, they were not affected at all and continued to fight towards the Tiger and Leopard Army defense line that was getting closer and closer to them.

However, it is impossible for the official cavalry to break through the defense with hundreds of troops. Because the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers and grenades, which are in close combat weapon, are not useful.

Under the attack of the musketeers, after losing hundreds of people again, less than five hundred officials, the official cavalry finally rushed to less than thirty steps from the defense line.

Facing the Tiger and Leopard Musketeers who were so close to each other, a sneer flashed across the faces of many official cavalrymen. Not only that, the sabers that emitted a cold light were also tightly held in their hands, and the blade forward, ready to chop.

At this time, if it was an ordinary army, facing an unstoppable cavalry, the army would definitely collapse on the spot. However, what stood in front of them was not an ordinary army, but a well-trained Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers.
