"Pimple...... Pimple pimple......"

The sound of low horse hooves sounded, a team of cavalry in full armor marched from the official road on the back with a rhythm of not slowing down, this cavalry is not only dressed in armor and bright armor, but also the big red cloak behind is particularly eye-catching, not only that, this team of cavalry is also a person and two horses, such a configuration can be called luxury in Daming, but anyone who knows a little about the Ming military system knows that the number of cavalry in Daming can have such a luxurious configuration is not more than a slap, and the representative of it is the Jiangning Army under the command of Xinguo Gong.

This group of cavalry was not very numerous, just over a hundred years old, and it was a typical hundred-man team.

When they came to a three-way intersection, the head of Bai Zong stopped, and he stretched out his hand to beckon a man in ordinary cloth clothes: "Come and see, which of these two roads leads to Anqing Mansion?" ”

This man is a guide specially found by Jiang Ningjun, I saw him take a look and said: "If you are a military master, which of these two roads lead to Anqing Mansion, the road on the left is relatively flat, but it needs to pass through Wangjiang County, and you need to walk more than 120 miles to get to Anqing Mansion, and the road on the right is in poor condition, but it is only more than 60 miles away from Anqing Mansion, if you hurry up, you can arrive in the evening today." ”

"That's right."

Without thinking, the Bai Zong pointed to the left, "Pass my order, let's take the road on the left, and send someone to report to the Lord Qianzong behind." ”

"Understood!"

One of the horsemen answered, and immediately rode his horse and galloped back.

Soon, the cavalry roared through the official road on the left......

At noon on the second day, the cavalry crossed Wangjiang County and continued to march towards Anqing Mansion, and when they came to a place eighty miles away from Anqing Mansion, the cavalry in charge of guarding at the forefront came with a warning signal.

"Lord Baizong, there is movement ahead, and a team of cavalry is coming quickly towards us."

As soon as Mr. Bai heard this, he immediately gave an order without thinking, "All dismount and immediately form a defensive formation!" ”

With Bai Zong's order, a cavalryman immediately jumped off the war horse and led the war horse to both sides of the official road, and then the personnel were ambushed at the commanding heights on both sides of the official road.

Soon, with the sound of hurried horses' hooves, seven or eight Ming soldiers galloped towards the night without retracting their horses, and when they saw the cavalry on the side of the road who had dismounted and were ready for battle, the night that had been galloping quickly reined in the reins of the horses and stopped.

Mr. Bai asked, "What's next?" ”

"My lord, when we were investigating in front of us, we encountered a brigade of cavalry of thieves, at least six or seven hundred people, and now they are chasing us."

"Understood." Mr. Bai nodded: "We are guarding here, you will go back immediately and report to Mr. Qian." ”

"Whoa!"

Ye Bu replied, and immediately beat his horse and galloped away.

After a while, after these nights were not taken away, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of him, led by a team of cavalry, but compared to the Jiangning army, these cavalry can only be described as cold, not only the war horses under the crotch are not very good, but the equipment on the body also looks very down.

There are those who wear leather armor, and there are those who wear cotton armor, and there is almost no iron armor, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, such as sabers, axes, spears, and maces, which look chaotic.

However, these rogues were also vigilant, when they saw the Ming troops on both sides of the official road, the leader immediately ordered to stop the advance, and after observing the surrounding environment, he actually began to retreat, which also made the cavalry who originally planned to have a tough battle stunned.

Seeing this, one of the elders asked, "My lord, what should we do now?" ”

Mr. Bai said without thinking: "Since the thieves have retreated, we naturally don't have to be polite, pass the order, and everyone will get on the horse and catch up!" ”

"Yes!"

The two chiefs responded, and led their respective men and horses to hurry up.

Those rogues ran faster after seeing the Ming army chasing after them, and for a while, you chased after me and quickly ran out of a distance of more than twenty miles.

When the cavalry pursued the foot of a distant hill, they found that the rogues behind had bypassed a col and disappeared.

"Woo...... Stop moving forward. ”

Seeing this, Mr. Bai hurriedly ordered to stop the pursuit.

A senior who was chasing after him was puzzled and asked, "My lord, I saw that I was about to catch up with those thieves, why did I stop?" ”

Mr. Bai didn't speak, took out the telescope from his waist and looked forward for a while, then handed the telescope to his body, pointed to the left side and said, "See where you are?" Aren't you afraid that we'll kill a team of men from that woods when we pass there? ”

Shi Chang took the binoculars and looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "My lord, if that forest is dead, you can put down one or two hundred people, and you also need to worry about this?" ”

"Really?"

Mr. Bai sneered and pointed to another forest two miles out of the right, "What if there are people in that area?" ”

"Hiss......"

Shi Chang glanced at it with a telescope and gasped, that forest can hide seven or eight hundred people, if there are really rogue ambushes there, as long as the ambush soldiers in the forest on the left side of the front rush to entangle them for a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the forest on the right can be quickly killed, so that we will fall into the encirclement of the rogues, if there are rogues behind the col in front, they are afraid that they will not be able to fly away even if they put on their wings today.

Seeing the cold sweat oozing from Shi Chang's forehead, Mr. Bai snorted lightly: "Now you understand, don't think that we can underestimate him because we defeated a thief in Mengjin, you must know that thieves will also grow, and anyone who underestimates them will suffer a big loss." ”

"My lord, I understand, so what are we going to do now?"

"Don't move yet, let the brothers dismount and rest, and wait for the arrival of Lord Qianhu."

"Understood!"

On a hillside two or three miles away from this group of cavalry, Liu Zongmin was lying behind a big rock, watching the Ming army stop advancing in place and shouting and scolding in a hurry.

"His grandmother's, why didn't those Ming soldiers move forward? As long as they go a mile further, I am sure that I will leave them all behind. ”

Li Guo also asked Li Yan on the side with some doubts: "Military advisor, could it be that those Ming troops have seen through our ambush?" ”

"I don't know."

Li Yan shook his head.

"It seems that the Ming army leading the team is very vigilant, we have done a very hidden job, but I didn't expect to be detected by him."

"Strategist, since they have seen through us, then just let me lead people to attack, that is more than two hundred good war horses, as well as those iron armor, sabers and firearms, all of them are good things, if our righteous army also has these things, why not be afraid of those dog officers and soldiers in the imperial court!"

Liu Zongmin looked at those Ming soldiers, and his saliva was about to flow out.
