"Lord Qianhu, the Tartars are moving!”
"They are going to attack!"
A cry of alarm rang out from the South Gate Tower.
Zhao Dahai raised his binoculars and stood at the gate tower of the South Pass, looking at the Qing army camp in the north.
The technology behind binoculars was not very high.
When the territory could produce cement, it could also produce glass.
With glass, he could naturally polish the lenses and make binoculars.
Although the production was limited due to the limitation of manual grinding, the First Chiliocosm was allocated one officer for each officer above the small flag pole.
Apart from that, the light cavalry flags that were used to scout the battlefield were given to each of the officers and soldiers.
Although the telescope was a small toy, it could play an extremely powerful role on the battlefield.
Observing the enemy's camp was a divine weapon.
Through the binoculars, one could clearly see the 800 Manchurian Tartars howling and roaring like they were on steroids.
Clearly, these Tartars thought that their soldiers had been exhausted.
Zhao Dahai couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He heaved a sigh of relief and laughed heartily."These damned Tartars are finally willing to move out!”
"Very good!"
"After fighting for seven or eight days, we haven't killed a single real Tartar.”
"Now we can finally have a fierce battle with the Tartars!”
After laughing, Zhao Dahai's expression turned serious as he ordered,""Order the artillery to aim at the designated area. Once the Tartars step in, fire immediately!”
"Go all out, don't be stingy with the ammunition!”
"Order the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 500th Hu stations in the rear to prepare for battle. Get out of the defense line and take the initiative to attack and fight the Tartars head-on!”
"Order the Light Cavalry Hundred Households to make preparations. After the infantry army defeats the Tartars, give chase with all your might.”
"Capture the Tartar Commander, Bululu, alive!"
With this order, the elite troops of the 1,000 troops immediately moved out and began to prepare for battle. They moved forward from the rear.
All the movements of the troops were fast and hidden, and the Tartars outside the defense line did not notice at all.
At this moment, they were still full of confidence. Each of them roared with killing intent,"Break through the Southern Pass!"
In his mind, he imagined the scene of breaking through the South Pass, charging into the Lushun Peninsula, and massacring the remnants of the Dongjiang Army.
The army began to move, and their pace gradually increased.
There were small steps to quick steps, then trotting, and finally, when they were about to enter the range of the long-range firepower of the defense line, they began to sprint at full speed.
"Charge!"
As soon as they stepped into the area covered by the firepower of the South Pass garrison, the eight hundred Tartars howled like ghosts and wolves as they launched their final charge.
It was to rush to the front of the defense line as quickly as possible and reduce the firepower of the enemy's long-range weapons.
However, when most of the Tartars charged into the range of the long-range firepower.
The familiar sounds of the catapults firing did not ring out.
Instead, it was the sound of artillery bombardment that was like a bolt from the blue!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
More than ten cannons fired in succession.
The old Tartar, Bululu, who was prepared to charge into the defense line with his soldiers and start a massacre, was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Panicked, he shouted at the guards beside him in horror,"Who's firing?"
" Where did the cannons come from?!"
However, just as he finished speaking, a dozen fiery red cannonballs pierced through the sky from the mountain fort of the South Pass defense line. They emitted sharp and ear-piercing sounds as they ruthlessly smashed into the Tartar army formation.
In an instant, the charging Tartars were knocked over.
The bouncing cannonballs were like rolling stones. Wherever they passed, the horses and men were shattered, leaving behind bright red blood-colored traces!
More than a dozen cannonballs suddenly smashed down, causing the unguarded Tartars to fall over. They wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, and their hearts were torn apart.
In an instant, hundreds of Tartars were heavily injured.
" Southern Pass?!"
" The remnants of the Dongjiang Army?!"
The old Tartar, Bruglu, sat on the ground and looked in the direction of the South Pass in disbelief. He was filled with anger and doubt at the same time. He asked loudly,"Who can tell me where these Dongjiang Army remnants got their cannons from?!”
"How could they have cannons?”
"More than ten cannons?”
No one answered. The guards and confidants beside him were all silent.
At this moment, they were all stunned. They had never expected such a thing to happen.
They charged forward with full confidence, thinking that they could break through the defense line of the South Pass in one go.
Who knew that the Southern Pass garrison would fire more than a dozen cannons, catching them off guard and teaching them a lesson!
What was even more terrifying was that the army had already charged at full force. They could not retreat even if they wanted to!
They could only advance!
However, the Southern Pass garrison, which had never used cannons before, had taken out their cannons.
Would the defenders on the defensive line still be as exhausted as they thought?
In the next moment, they saw it with their hearts broken.
At the South Pass defense line, a dense group of elites walked out from behind, all of them wearing armor.
With two rows of sword-shield soldiers as the leader, there were two rows of spearmen behind them.
All of them were wearing battle armor with full headgear.
They were armed to the teeth like steel walls, charging out from behind the defense line.
And in the last row, there were musketeers who were ready to fire at any time!
Even the musketeers were wearing leather armor!
All the Tartars were dumbstruck, their faces filled with disbelief!
The hidden elites of the Southern Pass 'garrison were too luxurious and inhuman.!
In this world, there was actually a fully armored army?!
They were simply unbelievably elite!
The elites who had been waiting for a long time came out from the rear of the defense line and lined up neatly. They looked at the tartars who had escaped from the area covered by the artillery with killing intent.
The officer in the formation looked coldly at the Tartars that ran out and said coldly,"Musketeers, get ready!"
Immediately, the musketeers lined up neatly at the back, passing through the spearmen and sword-shield soldiers in front and standing in the front row.
He held the musket in his hand and aimed the muzzle at the Tartars who were either charging or fleeing.
His face was cold and abnormally calm, ignoring the ferocious faces of these Tartars and their murderous intent.
When they were 50 meters away, they could clearly see the coarse hair on the Tartar's face.
"Fire!"
An order was given.
Bang bang bang!
The muskets opened fire, and rows of bullets shot out, cutting through the sky. In an instant, the Tartars in the front area were knocked down to the ground.
Looking from afar, it was as if dozens of Tartars who had rushed to the front had fallen to the ground at the same time!
The scene was extremely frightening!
"Melee, get ready!"
After the musketeers opened fire, they immediately retreated. The sword-shield soldiers and spearmen occupied the front row again and began to prepare for close combat.
