At this moment, he didn’t care whether the Tatar entered the effective range of the artillery or not. He directly did his best and shouted, "The artillery horse fired …"
"Boom, boom …" A string of deafening roaring battlefields rang out, and seven of the 20 French artillery guns quickly ejected an orange flame mixed with a lot of white smoke and black smoke, and then the huge body of the French artillery was shrouded by the white smoke that quickly spread from the muzzle.
Of course, the gun body was enveloped and instantly became a white thousand high-speed flying lead shot, which quickly spread out in front of the tiger and leopard army to form an impenetrable lead shot net, and then flew to the Tatar cavalry with overwhelming force.
The lead shot is not an arrow, plus the flying speed is several times higher than the arrow. The sabre is being held high, and Targan can’t see the lead shot coming at him.
The only way they knew they were being attacked was by guns.
Hearing the gun means that the tiger and leopard army wants to fire on their own, but when they see that the two armies are almost a mile apart, the nervous expression just emerges and is directly covered by contempt.
Chapter one hundred and twenty-five Layers of warfare
Not to mention, rich practical experience has created accurate judgment of the Tatar cavalry.
After thousands of lead bullets hit the Tatar cavalry phalanx, except for a few people who were shot in the face and fell off their horses with screams, and then they were trampled to pieces by the horseshoes of the subsequent cavalry. They were shot and the Tatar cavalry was only slightly injured, but they still rode their horses and continued to charge forward …
In this era, it takes a long time for guns to reload after firing the first round of shotguns before firing the second round of shotguns.
This is a well-known thing, and the battle-hardened Tatar cavalry knows it very well.
After the first round of shotgun baptism, Tartars kept urging their hip horses as if they were suddenly beaten with chicken blood, hoping that they could grasp the tiger and leopard army and charge as much distance as possible when loading the artillery.
But the idea of Tatar fell.
As they thrashed their hip horses, the second round of artillery roared like a death warrant to all Tatars’ ears.
"How can this happen? Don’t the butch army equip the artillery with bullets? How can it launch so fast …"
All kinds of exclamations sounded in the Tatar cavalry phalanx, and seven guns fired 1,400 lead bullets. The Tatar cavalry phalanx has moved forward into an airtight fan-shaped bomb net.
More importantly, after this blink of an eye, the Tatar cavalry just rushed into the range of heavy French artillery.
Tartars scream and horses scream because of injuries. Tartars are shot and roar to the ground … The battlefield rings one after another.
Looking around, riding horses everywhere in the lead bullets of the Mi-Tatar cavalry array is like mature wheat being cut to the ground by lead bullets.
Of course, this is not the final result of these cavalry.
The huge inertia generated by the cavalry’s charge plopped to the ground, and the Tatar cavalry was trampled to pieces by the subsequent cavalry without even responding. Even a complete body could not be left behind.
In a blink of an eye, more than fifty Tatar cavalry disappeared from their charge wave.
This round of shelling has brought shock to the Tatars, but the charge has not subsided. At the front, they narrowly escaped this round of shelling, and their faces still have a look of happiness for the rest of their lives. When a bunch of Tatars last want to hear the roar again.
The third round … the fourth round … the fifth round …
The mighty Tatar cavalry finally advanced one hundred steps and lost more than 500 cavalry all the way.
However, general Tatar could not see the heavy losses of his troops when he attacked the battlefield with the troops following the battlefield filled with smoke and dust. Of course, even if he knew that he had lost 500 elite troops, he would not hesitate to command the cavalry to continue to charge forward.
After removing the loss of 500 people, I still have 2,500 people. Even if the loss rate remains the same, I will still have 1,500 cavalry when I rush to the front of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
General Tatar is confident that 1,500 elite cavalry will be able to kill more than 1,000 tiger and leopard troops.
Without a lot of Tatar cavalry, there is no battlefield to stop and continue to attack against the lead bullets that are constantly flying to them.
Hundreds of Tatars collapsed with screams. Even if they didn’t see it clearly, it was enough to stabilize the tiger and leopard army. Thousands of musketeers were slightly frightened
Because everyone is ready to advance and retreat together with everyone, the commander-in-chief of the Tiger and Leopard Army, now the Royal Guards have taken practical actions to tell everyone that Tatar is not as invincible as everyone imagined.
Not only that, veterans and officers who have experienced life and death with Wei Zheng in the scattered musketeers also take this opportunity to boost morale in front of their own departments.
"Everyone saw it! Tartars don’t have three heads and six arms. They also carry a head on their shoulders and a lead bullet in the past, which still killed them. Only 20 artillery pieces will blow them up. If there are 30 artillery pieces left, maybe the Tartars will collapse before we start work. "
As soon as the officer had finished speaking, he stood in the middle of the team and took advantage of the artillery gap to shout, "The artillery battalion launched the remaining medium-sized French machine and fired …"
The little battlefield did not obey the order to see that the Tatar cavalry had rushed to 200 paces away, and the artillery had ordered their platoon leaders and captains to launch 30 medium-sized French patent machines behind the heavy French patent machines in neat rows.
Therefore, ten of the 30 medium-sized Franco machines have already roared guns in response to Wei Zheng’s military orders.
Thirty pieces of artillery suddenly joined the battlefield and the density of lead shot at Tatar suddenly doubled at this moment. More than that, the casualties of Tatar cavalry began to rise in a straight line
More and more Tatar cavalry fell to the ground with their faces unwilling to crash, and were trampled to pieces by the cavalry who rushed by.
Of course, such a blow is not the worst for Tatars.
Fifty artillery joint strikes again lost 500 riding Tatars and finally rushed to the distance of 150 steps from the Tiger and Leopard Army, which is the limit range of the new muskets of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
