Chapter 396

"It's the enemy, go quickly, let's lead the enemy away, Batu, go back and call people."

Some of the four Tatars followed him and came back alive. He was the first to confirm that Wu Zhiyang Platoon was the enemy and immediately shouted loudly to his companions.

The Tatars on both sides were hundreds of meters away, and the Tatars asked Batu to run first. Not long after, the remaining three Tatars immediately scattered and fled in the other three directions, hoping to lead the People's Army, which was getting closer and closer to here.

You chased each other, and soon, Wu Zhiyang rode thirty horses to the place where four Tatars were grazing. The three Tatars ran while paying attention to the situation behind them. What surprised them was that Wu Zhiyang rode stopped and did not pursue them at all, but drove away the cattle, horse and sheep they were grazing. It seemed that the target of Wu Zhiyang rode was these cattle, horse and sheep.

Seeing this scene, the three Tatars who had not run far changed their faces. They grazed more than 300 cattle, horses and sheep, accounting for one-quarter of the entire Awule. Originally, the food in Awule was not enough this year. If the cattle, horses and sheep were taken away by the enemy, many relatives would starve to death in the next day, which they did not want to see.

"The enemy cannot be allowed to snatch our cattle, horses and sheep and chase us!"

Another Tatar man ran towards his residence, and the remaining two Tatars followed closely behind Wu Zhiyang's platoon, with a distance of more than 300 meters. He did not dare to get too close. Even though he was confident that his shooting skills were better, Wu Zhiyang's platoon had more people, and getting closer was asking for death.

From a distance, the Tatars could not see Wu Zhiyang's platoon of thirty horses carrying bows and arrows. Moreover, Wu Zhiyang's platoon would not allow the Tatars to get too close. As long as the distance between the two sides was close to two hundred meters, Wu Zhiyang's platoon would have soldiers loading their muskets with ammunition. When the distance was shortened to within 150 meters, they would open fire and shoot the Tatars.

Wu Zhiyang rode thirty riders and drove hundreds of cattle, horses and sheep into the south with some difficulty. Two Tartars were closely attached to the back. Wu Zhiyang took a few people to pay attention to these two Tartars, and the others seemed to be on the cattle, horses and sheep they drove away.

The hundreds of cattle, horses and sheep captured by Wu Zhiyang were definitely a huge fortune on the land of China. Among them, nearly forty horses and horses, more than twenty cattle and calves, and the rest were sheep. Just horses and cattle were sent to the pass, some people were robbed. In some rural areas where there were lack of plowing oxen, many farmers gritted their teeth and took out all their savings to buy a plowing ox.

The combined value difference between cows and horses should not cost nearly a thousand equal coins, which is enough to allow a family to live a wealthy life.

Of course, now Wu Zhiyang Platoon is just pretending to return with trophy. Their real goal is to attract the Tatars to gather and snatch these cattle, horses and sheep back. With the strength of Wu Zhiyang Platoon, even if a hundred Tatar cavalry chased him, they could defeat them.

On the other hand, Batu finally returned to his residence, which was an Awule, with a population of more than 20 people just over 100.

Batu brought back the news of the enemy's appearance. Just thirty enemies attacked were not enough to scare them. As long as all the adults gathered together, it would be enough to defeat the enemy.

The leader immediately sent people to chase after the tribe's grazing directions, requiring all the people who could participate in the battle to come back. The grazing cattle, horses and sheep could not be driven back for the time being, and could be handed over to older children and older people for supervision.

However, not long after, another Tatar returned to his residence and brought back the news that the enemy had robbed us of cattle, horses and sheep.

Hearing this news, the leader became anxious. But Awule owns one-quarter of the number of cattle, horse and sheep. If they were snatched away by the enemy, I don’t know how many tribesmen would starve to death next. The enemy could not snatch the cattle, horse and sheep. Even if several tribe members were killed in battle, they would still take back these cattle, horse and sheep!

The tribesmen who went out to grazed returned one after another without even requiring the command of the leader. Whether it was an older child, an older man, or a woman who had not been pregnant for a long time, all those who could participate in the battle took up weapons and rode on horses, followed the leader to leave their residence, and chased the enemy in the southeast direction.

After counting carefully, there were forty-three riders, plus the two behind Wu Zhiyang's rank, there were forty-five riders, and this Awule had just exceeded one hundred.

More than a quarter of an hour later, the Tatar leader appeared in the field of view of Wu Zhiyang's telescope with forty-two Tatar cavalry.

"Collection! Gather! Battle preparation!"

Hearing the platoon leader's voice, the soldiers gathered over. Wu Zhiyang stood in a horizontal row with thirty horses, took out muskets, quickly loaded ammunition, and waited for the enemy to approach.

The tactics of the lances and musketeers are similar. They can fire all members in a volley or three-stage shooting. The three-stage shooting tactics are suitable for use when the enemy is advancing in a dense formation. The volley tactics of the full member are very suitable for the enemies facing Wu Zhiyang's platoon. More than 40 Tatar cavalry formed an arc and all members charged towards Wu Zhiyang's platoon.

"There are only more than forty enemies, and they can be destroyed in almost two rounds of volleys. You can put the enemy closer and hit them."

After thinking briefly, Wu Zhiyang immediately issued an order to the left and right soldiers, and then fired together when the enemy was 300 meters away.

At a distance of 300 meters, the lances can shoot and kill enemies more accurately. Whether they hit people or horses, they can make the Tatar cavalry lose their combat effectiveness.

Looking from a distance, the Tatar leader felt a little bad in his heart when he saw the enemy standing in a row. The leader thought he was thinking too much. There were only thirty enemies, but he was still a Chinese who was not good at riding and shooting. There were more than 40 people on his side, and each person could shoot all the enemies with one arrow.

"Ula!"

"Open fire!"

With a command from Wu Zhiyang, thirty lances fired at their targets in just one or two seconds. Thirty lead bullets crossed 300 meters and collided head-on with more than 40 Tatar cavalry who were yelling "Ula".

In an instant, the Tatar leader was hit by a lead bullet in the chest. He opened his eyes wide and wanted to struggle, but felt his body becoming increasingly weak and was thrown off by the running war horse.

Not only the leader, at this moment, more than twenty Tatar cavalry either were hit by lead bullets or their mounts were hit by lead bullets. More than forty Tatar cavalry lost half of their combat effectiveness in a blink of an eye.

"No!!!"

The Tatar cavalry, who were not hit by the lead bullet, looked at the leader and his relatives in disbelief and fell on the prairie.

"Run quickly! Run scatter!"

The Tatar cavalry who were still alive were full of anger, but now they had no choice but to escape. The enemy was too strong, and half of them would be killed or injured as soon as they met. Continuing to charge would only cause everyone to die in battle.
