As more and more cavalry fell in front of the bayonet formation, the charge speed of the official cavalry slowed down...

Not only that, more and more official and cavalry began to gather in front of the bayonet formation, at a loss.

The musketeers and bomb throwers guarding behind the bayonet formation did not miss this opportunity to kill the enemy.

Whether it was the whistling lead bullet or the grenade that was emitting white smoke, they all greeted the cavalry.

Soon, the official road in front of the bayonet formation was covered with thick layers of human and horse corpses.

Faced with this situation, the deputy general of the Tiger and Leopard Army muskets with a keen sense of smell immediately discovered that the time was ripe for a cavalry in front of the bayonet formation.

So, the decisive deputy general asked without thinking...

"The order...the musketeers guarding both wings immediately launched a roundabout attack on the cavalry on the official road, trapping them to death on the official road. At the same time, they used muskets and grenades to continuously compress their positions, leaving them without room for maneuver..."

"Yes, General..."

Accompanied by two huge flags, they began to wave on the battlefield.

The musketeers scattered on both sides of the official road directly used the musket array as the basic unit and began to slowly compress the tiger and leopard army on the official road. At the same time, the musketeers of the two battalions were like two sharp swords that were unsheathed, quickly penetrated into the backs of the official cavalry.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Haoguang, the chief general of the official army, immediately understood that the Tiger and Leopard Army, who were standing in front of him, planned to surround him and eliminate him here.

Looking at the subordinates of less than two thousand people around them, the cold weapon and saber in their hands that they could use to fight. Zhou Haoguang, who still maintained the last trace of rationality, was clear.

Once the Tiger and Leopard Army achieves its purpose, there is no longer ranged attack weapons, and they lose room for maneuver. They cannot exert their cavalry speed advantage. They will become the targets of the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers.

At that time, I will really only have the path of "death in battle" for me to choose from.

As a general of the Ming Dynasty with a bright future, Zhou Haoguang certainly didn't want his life and future to be ruined here. Therefore, in the face of crisis, he was in a critical moment of life and death, and was afraid... and he ordered without thinking.

"Retreat the troops, withdraw immediately...withdraw the troops immediately. As long as we withdraw to the military camp, we still have a chance to live."

"We must not let the Tiger and Leopard Army trap us here, otherwise we will all die."

However, because of the obstruction of the bayonet formation, the cavalry that had already been crowded with people on the official road was so easy to retreat?

The cavalry gathered beside Zhou Haoguang and received the order to retreat. Although they turned their horse heads at the first time, they wanted to escort Zhou Haoguang away.

However, the cavalry behind them had not received the order to retreat, and they were still riding the war horse under their crotch and continued to rush forward...

As a result, the two cavalrymen, one positive and one reversed, collided together without any accident, further aggravated the chaos on the battlefield.

Just as the cavalry on the official road became more and more chaotic,

The Tiger and Leopard Army Musketeers guarding both sides of the official road were not idle...

Under the command of their respective battalion commanders, they rushed towards the official road with a musket loaded with lead bullets at an increasingly fast speed.

The two musket battalions responsible for detours directly rode on the war horses assigned to them and rushed towards the back of the official army in a mighty manner.

The chaotic official cavalry has not yet fully understood the order and is still in chaos. A huge encirclement has formed around the official cavalry.

Facing an increasingly favorable situation on the battlefield, the deputy general who had been guarding the front of the government army continued to order: Hear the order, all musketeers should shoot immediately, further compressing the living space of the government army and trapping them here.

The flag was waved, and a murderous order was quickly roared out of the mouths of their respective battalions leaders.

"First team of Musket Battalion, fire..."

"The Second Team of the Musket Battalion, advance five steps and shoot immediately..."

"The Third Team of the Musket Battalion, continue to advance for five steps and shoot immediately..."

When musket arrays shot lead bullets at the official road one after another, the distance between them and the official road became closer and closer.

Soon, the more than a thousand cavalry left by Zhou Haoguang were compressed by musket arrays to a long strip of positions that were only two miles long and only three hundred steps wide.

It can be said that at this moment, the official cavalry in the encirclement, without exception, are within the range of the flintlock musket. As long as the Tiger and Leopard troops are patient, they can be wiped out here by relying on the long-range attack of the musket.

However, the Tiger and Leopard Army did not do this...

Because, among the more than a thousand official cavalry surrounded by him, if nothing unexpected happens, all senior officers in the 20,000 official army must have been included.

If they could be captured, in the future negotiations with the court, the Tiger and Leopard Army would have another trump card that could threaten the court. Therefore, when Wang Feng went to war, his military advisor Zhou Shuyuan made a special explanation to all the senior officers who went to the Tiger and Leopard Army.

At this moment, the Tiger and Leopard Army, who had trapped more than a thousand official troops to death on the official road, planned to force more than a thousand official troops to surrender, capture them, and increase the trump card for the Tiger and Leopard Army to negotiate with the court in the future.

Zhou Haoguang, the chief general who was surrounded by the Tiger and Leopard Legion and was protected by more than a thousand cavalry under his command.

The confident expression that appeared on his face before breaking through was now replaced by solemnity and despair.

I knew that even if I had wings today, I would not be able to break out. After being sad and angry, he was full of despair and made a decision that surprised everyone.

He pulled out the sword and put it on his shoulder, and subconsciously wanted to commit suicide by wiping his neck.

Of course, the generals gathered around them would not allow such things to happen.

After struggling to seize the sword that Zhou Haoguang held in his hand, he loudly advised: "Sir, you can't do this... Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. We still have a chance, but we have not reached the point of real despair..."

Zhou Haoguang replied in a dismal tone: "Despair, isn't this despair... Since the moment we were surrounded here by the Tiger and Leopard Army, our destiny has been destined. Instead of being killed by the Tiger and Leopard Army with grenades, it is better to commit suicide by yourself."

Faced with the strong despair expression on Zhou Haoguang's face, the general quickly persuaded: "No, General, we still have a chance..."

"If the Tiger and Leopard Army really want to wipe us out here and eliminate us here. Why would they suddenly stop attacking?"

"As long as their attacks continue, at most half an hour, we will all die under the muzzle of their muzzle."
