Chapter 470: The Hunting Game

Li Xiao stared at the sentry rider who was kneeling on the ground to report and shouted, "Have you ever been to the sentry in the woods outside Lushun City?" ”

"Tang Guogong, due to the dark sky and limited time, we haven't had time to explore the forest yet." Li Xiao sighed, he thought about it for a while, and quickly said to Tian Wei, the mayor of Xingzhong Town and the commander of the A Battalion: "Tian Wei, let the whole army pay attention, now that the twilight is drowsy, when you get off the ship, you need to strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking attack!" ”

"Yes, please rest assured." Li Xiao's order had just been given less than ten minutes later, and suddenly he heard a continuous shouting of horses in the woods outside the east gate of Lushun.

Immediately afterwards, in the blood-like twilight, a large number of Qing cavalry, like devils flashing out of the afterglow, roared loudly and rushed towards the Tang soldiers who were disembarking on the dock at Lushunkou.

"Not good, there is an enemy attack!" With a shout from the guards next to him, Li Xiao, who was standing on the bow of the Shenglong and was silently watching the soldiers get off the ship, instantly widened his eyes.

Okay, these Qing prisoners are really hiding in the woods outside the city, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack themselves, but they are careless for a while.

However, Li Xiao believes that his troops' reflexes are sharp enough to deal with them. What's more, he had already ordered just now and was on guard in advance.

A grim smile appeared at the corner of Li Xiao's mouth. A bloody game of hunting and counter-hunting has officially begun.

When the horses' hooves rumbled, the smoke covered the sky, and the four thousand fully armed elite Manmeng cavalry rushed towards the Tang troops who were disembarking like arrows from the string, Ai Xing's heart was full of the thrill of revenge.

Li Xiao, who entered the dog, you killed my Marfa and killed me Ama in the past, and now, Lao Tzu wants to try his best to slaughter your subordinate generals, and use their dog lives to sacrifice the spirits of my Marfa and Ama in the sky!

Ai Xing'a calculated very clearly, the current Tang army, the number of soldiers on the ship and on the shore, is almost equal, it is the most chaotic moment, if he can lead 4,000 cavalry to launch a surprise attack at this time, he should be able to achieve the best results.

As for the distance of the impact, Ai Xing'a also estimated in his heart that from this grove, rushing to the beach, it was only a distance of about 800 steps, and if the cavalry fully accelerated and rushed to the position of the Tang army on the shore, it would only be a few breaths before it could be rushed.

Five hundred steps away, Ai Xing'a saw from a distance that on that beach, a large number of Tang troops were hurriedly organizing defense, and his heart was extremely happy.

"Hmph, you dogs! I want to organize defense now, but it's too late! Aixing Ah shouted: "Sons! Hurry up and get these damn Nikans all down to meat sauce! There was a cheer like a wolf's howl below, and all the cavalry of the Qing army suddenly became more and more high-spirited, and each of them let out a wild scream in their mouths, and they slammed the horse's belly, tried their best to speed up, and rushed towards the Tang army on the beach.

In the eyes of all the Qing cavalry who rushed forward, those Tang infantry who were shouting and shouting like prey attracted all their attention.

They didn't see at all that on the ships docked on the shore, a black hole of gunwales, was aiming at them in unison.

When they rushed to almost 300 paces, Ai Xing Ah suddenly felt bad intuitively, because he found that those Tang troops were hurriedly lining up on the spot, but there were few soldiers who were so frightened that they ran back to the boat in a panic.

His gaze subconsciously looked up, and when he saw that the five or six boats parked on the shore, and the guns on that side, almost all of them were aimed at him, Ai Xing's back suddenly burst into an extremely cold chill.

Exercise! I thought that I would take advantage of the chaos to hunt well, but I didn't expect that these Tang soldiers could react so quickly, but they regarded themselves as the prey of the round-up!

"Brothers, disperse quickly, watch out for the artillery!" After Ai Xing Ah shouted these words, the forward speed of the entire team suddenly stagnated, and the formation began to be chaotic immediately.

At the same time, the fifty or sixty boats, with a total of nearly 300 topside guns, suddenly fired at once.

"Bang bang bang! ......" In the huge cannon sound that shattered the eardrums, the muzzle of each gunwald gun immediately floated a crimson afterburner, flashing a dazzling golden fire, and in the dense billowing white smoke, more than 270 large and small jet-black iron bullets, with the whistle of death, hit the Qing cavalry who were spreading out the formation.

At this moment, these hundreds of sharp iron bullets drew a straight line of death, roaring through the Qing cavalry formation, killing and maiming any cavalry who dared to block in front of them.

Ai Xing A clearly saw that the three consecutive cavalrymen lined up in front of them were hit by a huge iron bullet at the same time.

This iron bullet pierced through the chests of the two Mongolian cavalrymen of the Qing army in an instant, and the bodies of the two Mongolian cavalrymen burst like watermelons hit by an iron hammer, and blood and internal organs flew everywhere.

Eventually, the bullet slammed into the head of the white-toothed horseman at the back, smashing his helmet and head flattened, sending his brains flying and his eyeballs and teeth flying in all directions like toy parts.

In the end, the ferocious iron bullet was thrown down heavily, and a long arc was drawn from the air, and the legs of a cavalryman's mount were broken alive before he flew away again, and did not know where it fell.

Seeing this terrifying scene, seeing this absolute death that completely surpassed the courage and limits of the human body, Ai Xing's face instantly turned pale.

The Tang army's artillery salvo caused nearly 300 Qing cavalry to be killed and wounded, and the entire Qing army's formation was suddenly in chaos.

It's just that after this shelling, all the gunners of the Tang Army's naval division, including Li Xiao, were still full of regret on their faces.

At this time, Ai Xing's emergency response was still very effective, so that the Qing army dispersed in time before the shelling.

Due to the emergency dispersal of the cavalry of the Qing army, the actual number of these more than 200 large and small iron bullets was greatly reduced, so that Li Xiao, who had hoped to defeat all the 4,000 Manchu cavalry that had rushed forward with a single blow, suddenly failed in hope.

Seeing that the originally high morale team was hit by this sudden and fierce artillery, and there was a lot of chaos, Ai Xing's heart was furious.

Damn! originally thought that everything would go smoothly in the raid, but it was a sudden setback, and even a single Tang army was killed, and his own family lost nearly 300 cavalry.

This is simply that the prey did not hit, but let the eagle harrier peck at the eye first, it is really embarrassing and frustrating! Ai Xing Ah thought that when he went out of the city, he was in front of Le Ke Dehun, patted his chest to promise meritorious service, and said loudly that he wanted to fight Tang Jun by surprise, and now he felt that his face was burning and panicking.

Now what? Is it to continue the offensive? Or do you want to return to Arthur City? Aiseiah quickly felt ashamed of his own thoughts.

Shame, my Marfa, my Amma, all died tragically at the hands of the Tang army, and now the Tang army has attacked the door, but he doesn't want to seize the opportunity to take revenge, but wants to escape, it's a shame!

Aixing A's forehead was full of green tendons, his face was purple, and his teeth were gritted loudly. Hmph, even if you want to die, you have to pull a few more Tang soldiers as backs, and use their dog lives to comfort my Marfa and Amma's spirits in the sky.

Besides, he only lost less than 300 people, but the number of soldiers and horses was still enough, and he continued to attack those Tang troops who were in chaos, and the chances of victory were still very great.

"Brothers, don't panic! The artillery of the Tang army could not fire continuously, and the losses of our army were limited, so it was necessary to continue to rush forward with the general! Ai Xing Ah stared at her blood-red eyes and shouted loudly.

A sparse shout sounded below, and all the Qing cavalry stabilized their minds and continued to rush forward.

When all the cavalry of the Qing army continued to rush forward at an extremely fast speed and were less than 200 paces away from the Tang army, nearly 4,000 Lu Mi soldiers on the fifty or sixty boats on the shore had quickly set up an emergency battle formation along the side of the ship.

The reason why these Lumi soldiers were still on the ship was because Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guogong, deliberately asked them to wait for the infantry and cavalry to go ashore before landing so as to have a backhand.

Originally, there were now a total of 9,000 Lumi soldiers in the Tang Army, but most of these Lumi soldiers were on the ships that had not yet docked at the coast, and among the fifty or sixty boats parked on the coast now, there were only nearly 4,000 Lumi soldiers, all of whom were already lined up on the broadside, ready to shoot.

Ai Xing's eyes were out of the corner of his eye, and he suddenly felt that there seemed to be dense red dots on the side of the ship, and when he looked up, his brown and yellow pupils suddenly contracted in horror.

Depend on! After this artillery strike by the Tang Army, there were even musketeers who shot in array on the side, and now, wouldn't we, the cavalrymen who rushed forward, become the target of the beating?

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly, the Tang army has a fighter!

Ai Xing screamed loudly and screamed in horror. And just as he was shouting, on the warships of the Tang Army opposite, with the loud sound of a swan, the red flags on each ship were waved almost simultaneously, and the two rows of firecrackers standing or kneeling on each ship, the nearly 4,000 firearms, suddenly fired together.

"Bang bang 。。。。。" On each boat, the dense sound of popping beans sounded violently, and the embers that floated from the mouth of the gun formed two bright yellow and dazzling lines of fire, and a large area of choking and thick white mist surged, instantly hiding the entire Tang Army's shore fleet into a fairyland-like fog.

Of the nearly 4,000 firearms, more than 3,600 were fired, and these more than 3,600 small lead bullets weighing three coins formed a dense rain curtain of death, roaring towards the Qing cavalry that was rushing towards them.

There are very few Tang troops who have good eyesight and are not disturbed by the white fog, and they can clearly see that this whistling rain curtain of lead bullets shot the Qing cavalry, or men or horses, who rushed on the opposite side.

At this moment, at least nearly 800 Qing cavalrymen were shot, and the screams of the cavalry were mixed with the mournful screams of the horses.

From a distance, the cavalry of the Qing army turned on their backs, and the entire cavalry formation of the Qing army fell into chaos and collapse in an instant.

There were three buckshots, which hit Ai Xinga and his mount at the same time, and this Qing general, because of his distinctive and sophisticated armor and clothing, was like a magnet that firmly attracted the shot of lead bullets.

A lead bullet struck his arm, causing his arm to bend in an unimaginable arc as if it had been twisted with sudden force.

The other two buckshot shots hit the horse's neck and legs respectively, and Aixing and his mount fell to the ground as if they had been suddenly struck by an invisible sledgehammer.

Ai Xing, who fell to the ground on his side, was covered with sand all over his head, and a large amount of sand squeezed into his left eye, blinding his left eye on the spot, and the heavy corpse of the horse completely flattened his thigh, and he howled in pain.

And only his right eye could see, and he saw more clearly that a horse running wildly rushed over, and with a soft bang, the head of a fallen Manchurian horse soldier next to him was instantly trampled like a watermelon, and blood and brains splashed his face.

In the face of this outstanding huge death, the commander had been injured and fell to the ground, the entire Qing army battle array was in chaos, and the remaining Qing cavalry were terrified, they wailed, like headless flies, scurrying around.

Seeing that the Qing army was collapsed by this Lu Mi salvo, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and with the flying flag, the Tang army's Xuanhu heavy cavalry and flying harrier light cavalry, which had already landed on the shore, screamed and chased together, refusing to give these scattered Qing cavalry a chance to live.

"Quick, open the east gate, let the cavalry retreat to the city!

At the east gate of Lushun City, Luckedhun, who saw this tragic scene clearly with a clairvoyant mirror, felt a pain in his heart, like a knife. With his face flushed with anger, he yelled at the Bakash soldiers who were giving orders on the side.

"Whew, the minions obey!" As the drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the city head sounded at the same time with a clear sound of gold, and the cavalry of the Qing army who fled in all directions seemed to wake up suddenly, and they turned their horses' heads one after another, and fled towards the east gate of Lushun.

And chasing a stone's throw away from the East Gate, the Tang cavalry stopped their pursuit. In the end, less than 300 Qing cavalry escaped with their lives and hid in the city.

The rest of the Qing cavalry was chased and killed by the Tang cavalry, and they died outside the city. Seeing the corpses of the Qing cavalry outside the city, Lechdehun was dripping blood in his heart.

Okay, this attack of his own cavalry was not even killed by a Tang army, so he basically disappeared outside Lushun City, and even the deputy general Ai Xing A was also lost in the formation, damn it, this is not a battle at all, but a massacre!

It's a sigh, it's a pity that I wanted to take advantage of the Tang Army's unstable foothold to attack it, but I didn't expect that the final result would be that stealing chickens would not make me lose rice, and I would lose my wife and soldiers!

Now that the cavalry has been defeated and almost all of them have been lost, can this Lushun City, with only the remaining more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, really be able to hold it?

Lucker's heart was suddenly very bottomless. And seeing the defeat of the attacking Qing army, a cold and smug smile flashed on the face of Li Xiao, the Duke of Tang Guo.

Hmph, if you still want to sneak attack our army, my father will let you have a good taste of our army's powerful firearms, what is it like!

At this time, the entire Tang army, both on the ship and on the shore, waved swords and spears and shouted victories.

Their shouts in unison almost burst their eardrums.

"Wan Sheng!

"Wan Sheng!

"Kill the Tartars, make a meritorious name!

"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven!

“…… Accompanied by a group of guards, Li Xiao slowly got off the boat, and then his own soldiers came to report, saying that according to the reports of several captured prisoners, Ai Xing'a, the deputy general of the Qing army who led the sneak attack on the Tang army, had been captured by the Tang army, and although he was seriously injured, he was not dead. Li Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered: "Oh, since that's the case, bring this person up quickly!"

"Yes, in obedience!
