Chapter 693 The conspiracy in the conspiracy
Because all the five thousand war horses released by the Tartars were tied together with ropes, and from the front, there were almost no loopholes. ↘↙
Therefore, in the brief impact, the two thousand war horses belonging to the Tiger and Leopard Army almost did not escape the net and all fell to the ground.
Of course, the five thousand war horses that should have belonged to the Tartars also lost more than two thousand.
After all, the war horses released by the Tartars were all tied together. As long as one of the war horses fell to the ground, the other war horses would definitely be dragged down and fell to the ground...
However, even so, the biggest threat to the mountain Tartars was eliminated.
And just like this, the remaining two thousand war horses of the Tartars continued to rush forward...
Following the war horses, the musketeers of the two thousand cavalry divisions who were preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the mountain were shocked by the sudden incident.
At this time, they shot lead bullets forward as quickly as possible.
The war horses that rushed towards them were also knocked to the ground in groups.
However, when they lost the initiative, they could not block the impact of these war horses no matter how fast they fired lead bullets.
After all, when the war horses were truly exposed to them, the distance between them was less than a hundred steps.
Watching the war horses approaching him little by little, the leader of the team knew very well that with the flesh and blood of the soldiers under his command, if they were hit by these crazy war horses, then what was waiting for him would definitely be the entire army...
So the team leader with a serious face said without thinking...
"Retreat, retreat immediately, avoid these war horses, and you must not let the war horses hit..."
The orders were issued very timely, but it was very difficult to reach everyone's ears on the battlefield with constant gunfire.
Therefore, facing the vast war horses, hundreds of soldiers were still fighting because they did not retreat in time. They were knocked down on the battlefield by war horses, and their lives and deaths were unknown...
Just as the cavalry division led the commander and looked at the whistling war horses and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A louder roar followed in the battlefield.
Ao Bai's command had less than 5,000 iron cavalry, some waved their sabers, some bent their bows and arrows, and used their legs to control the war horses under their crotch, and were condescending. At the speed of the cavalry's rushing towards the gap they had just moved out.
Faced with this situation, the group leader's expression that had just relaxed became solemn again.
Looking at the Tartar cavalry getting closer and closer to him, he subconsciously exclaimed...
"The Tartar cavalry...not good, the Tartars who are standing on the mountain are about to break through..."
"Murderers, shoot immediately, must block them... One or two battalions, block the gap that has just been moved out immediately, and we must not allow these Tartars to successfully break through. I want to kill them all..."
The musketeer's reaction speed is no longer fast, but the Tartar Cavalry, whose speed has increased to the extreme.
With the continuous shooting of musketeers of the two wings of the cavalry division on the battlefield, the Tartar cavalry group was constantly being dropped.
However, the Tartars, who rushed in the front, successfully broke through the interception of the cavalry division before the gap was blocked.
Not only that, the Tartars, who were whistling past the musketeers of the Cavalry Division, had not forgotten to shoot an arrow at the musketeers before retreating...
Under the attack of dense arrows, the two battalions that were preparing to block the gap directly lost three or four hundred people.
Of course, the Tartars, whose troops were originally less than 5,000, successfully broke through.
However, under the interception of the musketeers of the Cavalry Division, the final breakthrough was less than 4,000 people, and the losses were also heavy!
Ao Bai led the genocide and successfully broke through under the cover of thousands of war horses.
So the gunshots and explosions that surrounded the battlefield also stopped.
The tens of thousands of old and weak Tatars who were left in the camp by Ao Bai did not need the cavalry division to use guns or grenades to destroy them completely.
Of course, because these two tribes did not leave cattle, sheep and livestock to escape, the capture of the cavalry division in these two tribes was also very amazing...
In addition to countless cattle, sheep and livestock, the mountains of gold and silver finances. The biggest capture was the huge horse herd owned by the two tribes, with more than 15,000 various war horses...
However, at this moment, no one of the cavalry divisions, from top to bottom, appreciated these results.
Because, in this conspiracy led by Ao Bai, the cavalry division suffered an astonishing loss of 2,000 troops. What’s more important is that among the two thousand soldiers who lost, all the firearms and equipment of almost 1,500 people fell into the hands of the Tartars, increasing the military strength of the Later Jin Tartars..."
Looking at the gloomy expression on the commander's face, the commander who had just attacked with the team quickly apologized...
"Teacher Commander, I underestimate the enemy too much... Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy losses, but they also did not block the Tartars' breakthrough. Please punish the regiment commander."
As soon as the commander finished speaking, the commander shook his head and denied it: "No, this is not your fault, you fight very high... I am confident that even if I command this battle, it is impossible to eliminate so many Tartars at such a small price..."
After saying that, the teacher who was sneering quickly flashed across his face and continued to speak...
"If I really want to hold my responsibility accountable, my responsibility is the greatest... If I hadn't underestimated the enemy and ignored the cunning degree of our opponents, our losses would have been absolutely not so great!"
"I really didn't expect that there were such a cunning Tartar general orders in the Later Jin army, which was simply eye-opening..."
"If I guess it's good, the Tartars who just fought against us will be the Tartars who have successively eliminated our two left-behind bases and forced us to divide their troops..."
No matter how much the division commander regrets it at this moment, in the face of heavy casualties, a choice that forced him to make a decision was placed directly in front of him...
Facing the cavalry division with only a little over 3,000 troop strength, where should we go... Should we retreat, end the pursuit of the Tartar tribe, or destroy all the captures on the spot and continue the pursuit...
At this moment, the words of Sun Chengzong, the commander of the army before leaving, suddenly came to his mind...
During the pursuit, no matter what the result is, the first thing to ensure is the casualties of the cavalry division.
The division commander didn't know whether this Tartar cavalry, which was staring at him, would in the next battle, make the cavalry division, which had already lost its troops, suffer losses again...
Therefore, the commander of the Cavalry Division, whose face quickly returned to seriousness, immediately made a decision in his heart...
