The squatting tiger gunners who were ready to go immediately appeared on the flank where the soldiers were, facing the slave cavalry coming up from the hillside.
Troops and horses of the 1,000-man regiment appeared around the gunner as a guard.
The gunners positioned a squatting cannon so that the muzzle pointed at the approaching slave cavalry.
The squatting tiger cannons were arranged in a row. The gunners on the side were not in a hurry to fire, but were waiting for the slave cavalry to get closer.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon has a limited range. If it hits shotgun shells such as iron sand and iron beads, the range will be even closer.
However, it is also a cannon at a short range and is more powerful than a firecracker.
On the contrary, the members of the 1,000-man team of officers and soldiers who came to protect were all eager to try. They wanted to rush out immediately and kill a few slaves and thieves to avenge their dead relatives and fellow villagers.
Fortunately, there were many soldiers with the Tiger Flag in the team to restrain them, preventing them from being blinded by hatred and fighting against the slave knights.
The slave cavalry charges from the bottom of the hillside uphill, and the speed is naturally not as fast as on the flat ground. Moreover, the hillside is covered with various types of grass. Some grass blades are like Lala seedlings, which can intercept and buffer the cavalry. speed.
Therefore, Nuqi's speed up the hillside was not too fast.
"Get ready!" A gunner with a monocular on his waist put the copper whistle hanging around his neck into his mouth.
The slave knight was getting closer and closer to the top of the hillside, and also entered the range of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
The leading gunner still did not give the order to fire.
He was waiting, waiting for the slave knight to get closer, so that he could hit the slave knight hard as soon as he opened fire.
If there were hundreds or even thousands of slaves, he would naturally not choose to let them get close, but there were only a hundred or so slaves in front of him, which gave him the confidence to do so.
Beep!
The harsh copper whistle sounded fiercely.
A squat cannon fired at the slave riders coming up the hillside. Countless iron sand and iron beads flew out, weaving a large net in mid-air.
Nu Qi, who was about to rush up the hillside, was suddenly stunned.
The leader, Geng Qianhu, didn't even have a chance to speak before he was beaten into a sieve. Even the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground, and blood was pouring out from several holes in his neck.
A dozen slaves and war horses fell to the ground, staining the grass under their feet red.
The gunners of the Tiger Flag once again seized the time to start loading the ammunition, while the officers and soldiers guarding the 1,000th Corps raised their spears nervously.
The gap between the Tiger Crouching Cannon's loading is most easily exploited by the enemy.
The corpses of more than a dozen slave riders and their horses lay between the Tiger Flag gunner and the remaining slave riders. They also blocked the slave riders' way forward and became a fetter on the road.
The slave rider behind was frightened by the tragic scene in front of him, and at the same time, he had to slow down his horse to prevent the horse from being tripped by the corpse in front.
boom! boom! boom!
The reloading speed of the Tiger Flag gunner was faster than the slave knight imagined. Before the slave thief could step over the corpse on the ground, many tiger squatting cannons were fired again.
Countless iron sand and iron beads were sprayed out again, intertwined into a big net, and the hoods were hooded towards all the slave riders on the hillside who were covered by this big net.
More than a dozen slave riders were killed or injured by the bullets fired from the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Two shellings suddenly reduced the slave cavalry by nearly one-third, and even the leader could not avoid the cannons fired from the hillside.
The slave knights were leaderless for a while, and there were such serious casualties again. The remaining slave knights were frightened.
After all, they are still Han people. A large part of the reason for taking refuge with the slave thieves is because they are afraid of death. Now that their lives are threatened, the first thought in their minds is not to fight for their lives, but to escape for their lives.
In addition, the side where the Jurchens personally attacked failed to reach the hillside, so many slave riders had begun to think of escaping.
If one person escapes, others will follow him.
So when one slave rider chooses to escape from the hillside, the other slave riders also make the same choice as him.
There were less than a hundred knights and slaves left. They scrambled to escape down the hillside without waiting for the third shot from the Tiger Flag.
"Escaped, the slave bandit's cavalry escaped." The newly joined officers and soldiers from the Ming army shouted loudly when they saw this scene.
"Do you want to send someone to pursue him?" Someone came to the captain of the thousand-man army and asked.
Hearing this, the captain of the thousand-man army team shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them. First, go and detach some of the Tiger Crouching Cannons to support the camp."
Once the slave cavalry escapes, the flank will naturally be safe, so there will be no use for so many squatting tiger cannons remaining here.
However, in order to prevent the slave thieves from coming back, they did not remove all the squatting tiger cannons, but left half of the cannons to continue monitoring the flanks.
The real Tatars are less afraid of death and fight more bravely than the two Tatars who defected from the Ming army.
Even though the slave cavalry on the flanks had been defeated and fled, Hailancha and the Jurchens still insisted on exchanging lives with the Tiger Flag soldiers on the hillside.
The soldiers of the Tiger-Character Banner occupies a favorable location on the hillside and have a large number of people. The Jurchen archers brought by Hailancha are good at archery and their accuracy is much better than that of fire blunderbuss.
In this way, neither party gained much advantage.
The only difference is that if the arrow fails to hit the vital point, it is difficult to kill someone at once, but the blunderbuss fired by the fire blunderbuss is different. Even if it does not hit the vital point, as long as it hits the enemy, the damage caused is enough to The enemy loses combat effectiveness.
If Hailancha had not blocked a group of Han soldiers in front, the Jurchens would not have been able to withstand such serious casualties.
This situation lasted until the Tiger Crouching Cannon was sent over.
As soon as the Tiger Crouching Cannon appeared, the offensive of the soldiers on the hillside directly increased to a higher level. Pieces of iron sand and iron beads were shot down. Even if there were Han soldiers blocking the front, some real Tatars would not be hit.
The number of Jurchen casualties brought by Hailancha suddenly increased a lot.
The Han soldiers who were forced to stay in front of the battle suffered more casualties, and these Han soldiers finally couldn't bear the heavy casualties. Even if there were real Tatar threats behind them, they dropped their weapons and ran away.
Hai Lancha hacked to death several Han soldiers who wanted to escape with his own sword, but still could not stop the Han soldiers' rout.
Seeing this situation, he knew that it was impossible to capture the enemy on the hillside if he continued to stay, so he had no choice but to take the remaining Jurchens and follow the Han soldiers to escape down the hillside.
"The camp is in full swing, the slaves and thieves are trying to escape!"
The slave thieves gave up the attack and chose to escape. Naturally, they could not hide it from the Tiger Flag people on the hillside.
"It's not that easy to escape back." Zhao Wu spat on the ground and immediately ordered, "Wang Ju, bring your thousand-man team and Tiger Crouching Cannon and chase me. We must never let the slave thief remain intact like this. Run back."
He could not catch up with the slave thieves' cavalry, but he was not prepared to let go of these defeated slave thieves' infantry.
After being beaten for so long, he would always hit the opponent with a few punches.
