Niutou Village

This once peaceful small mountain village has now been shrouded in the flames of war, and Cao Yingmao is leading the 3rd Cavalry Battalion to storm the defense line of Niutou Village.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves continued to sound in Niutou Village, and the cavalry continued to storm the defensive line, and the sound of firecrackers, explosions, white gunpowder smoke from the explosion, and black smoke from the burning of buildings enveloped the entire village.

Hao Shaoqi, a burly man with a body of tendons, stood on top of a collapsed house, brandishing a long knife and shouting continuously, allowing the rogues to come forward and resist it.

Although Niutou Village is not big, its location is very critical, the village is stuck in the middle of the official road, but anyone who wants to pass through the official road must pass through the middle of the village, so this has become a place that Cao Yingmao must capture.

And Hao Shaoqi led 3,000 Liukou to occupy the village, blocking Cao Yingmao's way forward.

"Donkey-raised, you cowards, all support Lao Tzu, if you let the officers and soldiers rush in, no one will survive. This army of officers and soldiers is different from ordinary court officers and soldiers, they want to build a capital view. Hao Shaoqi waved a long knife while coaxing and frightening, ordering his subordinates to fight to the death.

However, he was not wrong to a certain extent, his men were all foot soldiers, and when the foot soldiers encountered cavalry in the field, if they were defeated, they would not even be able to run.

Hao Shaoqi's original name was Hao Yongzhong, who belonged to Gao Yingxiang's old department, he was originally a flag bearer, to put it bluntly, he was responsible for the role of waving the flag and shouting, because he was tall and strong and quite brave in battle, so he had the nickname of Hao Shaoqi, and the original name was called for a long time, but no one called it.

Following Gao Yingxiang for a period of time, he was promoted to the team sentry, Gao Yingxiang took refuge in Li Zicheng after he died in the battle of Mengjin, but I don't know why Li Zicheng was very uninterested in this Gao Yingxiang's old department, and later because of Hao Shaoqi's reputation in the army, he had to be promoted to be the head of the brigade, and this time he was sent to take on the thankless task of the queen of the palace.

Hao Shaoqi doesn't look tall and big, he looks like an iron man, but among the rogues, he is a person who likes to use his brains.

After Meng Jin had had enough of the hardships of Jiangning's firearms, he received the task of guarding Niutou Village this time, he knew that if he led these thousands of people to line up to fight the Jiangning army, the number of people would be several times more than the life of delivering food, so he sent people to set up obstacles on the official road in the middle of the village with stones, wood and various objects, and then hid the people and horses behind various buildings and obstacles to resist.

As we all know, the strength of the cavalry lies in mobility and impact, but its biggest drawback is that it is not good at attacking fortifications, so Cao Yingspear led the cavalry to attack several times, and they were repelled by the rogues hiding behind the bunkers with stones and crossbows.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, the anxious Cao Yingmao turned red, he called a thousand generals, pointed to the front and said: "The thieves are using arrows and stones to stop our army from advancing, we can't go on with them like this." You personally led a team of three hundreds, rushed to the front and back of the thieves and used 10,000 enemies to blast open a passage, can you do it? ”

This Qian general looked at the thieves who were hiding behind obstacles and constantly shooting arrows at the front of the defense line arranged by the thieves in front of him, and the corpses of more than a dozen war horses that fell on the charging road in front of him, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, if you can't destroy those thieves, I will come to see you with my head." ”

Cao Yingmao said impatiently: "This official doesn't want your head, as long as you can blast a road ahead, it will be considered that you have made a contribution, can you do it?" ”

Mr. Qian said in an affirmative tone: "No problem! ”

"Good...... Go ahead! ”

"Whoa!"

"Didi......"

The light trumpet sounded, and the cavalry, which was in a hurry, suddenly retreated like a tide, which also relieved the thieves who were struggling to support, but before they had time to cheer, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and a group of cavalry suddenly came out from the flank and suddenly rushed towards them.

The leaders of the rogue shouted, "Hurry up...... Archery...... Archery...... Get these people away! ”

Although the rogues shouted in a hurry, according to the experience just now, these cavalrymen would shoot after rushing to a distance of about seventy or eighty meters, and retreat after firing a round of shots, after all, the guns in their hands would need to be reloaded after the battle, and it was impossible for them to stop in place and receive arrows in vain during this time.

Only this time they were disappointed, the cavalry did not open fire after rushing to the range, and did not even pick up the muskets, but increased their speed and continued to rush towards the room.

Even Hao Shaoqi, who was standing on the roof of a mud house and watching the battle, was stunned: "What...... Are these people crazy, what do they want to do? ”

It's no wonder that the rogues were surprised, although the defense line built by the rogues in a hurry was not very strong, and it was not very high, but it was by no means something that hundreds of cavalry could easily break through, and it was hard to say whether they could break through their defense line if they were to come hard, but half of these hundreds of cavalrymen would definitely fall.

"They're coming!" One of the rogues pointed ahead and shouted.

Yes, those cavalry did not shoot like just now and rode away, but continued to rush towards them, although the rogues did not understand what these Jiangning troops were mad about, but they were not polite, and the arrows and stones in their hands continued to smash mercilessly.

"Miserable ......"

A horse that rushed to the front was hit by several arrows at the same time, the horse let out a mournful roar and fell to the ground, the cavalryman also fell off the horse in an instant, and before he could stand up, he was knocked to the ground by the war horse rushing behind him, and then dozens of war horses stepped on his body.

"Throw!"

Without waiting for the rogue to cheer, they heard a faint sound in front of them, and then the cavalrymen took out round objects from their waist bags, lit them, and threw them forward with the speed of their horses.

"It's not good, it's ten thousand enemies!"

The well-informed rogue's face changed when he saw these black things falling from the sky.

The power of the 10,000 enemies made by the Jiang Ning army is not the same as that of the 10,000 enemies made by the imperial court, and the 10,000 enemies made by the Jiang Ning army are famous, not only powerful, but also very high.

However, these people's reminders were too late, and in the bursts of explosions, the obstacles made of stones, trees, and dirt that Hao Shaoqiming had made were quickly blown apart by the powerful shock wave.
