Chapter 202: Pursuit

The explosions stopped, and black smoke rose over the tent of Warat, and there was a large crater in the ground. The pit was charred and black, and it was impossible to distinguish between the slag-bombed Sergeant Warat and the scorched mud and sand.

Liu Nian's head was blank, his eyes were blank for a moment, and then he suddenly came back to his senses, got up and walked over, and kicked the sergeants who were overturned by the horses one by one: "Get up!" ”

The sergeants were kicked back to their senses, and most of them got up, and a few of those who were crushed by their horses also got up with the support of their comrades, and they all took up their horses, mounted their horses, lined up, and removed the rifles on their backs, aiming their guns in the direction of the enemy with black holes.

…………

The loud explosion and the shaking of the mountain stunned the Warat army in the camp behind them, and many people were suddenly shocked and lost their souls.

The tents of the camp were set up relatively loosely, and the sergeant grenades of the Shenji battalion threw grenades in a concentrated manner, only blowing up a dozen camp tents outside, and the camp tents behind did not blow up.

But just like that, Sergeant Warat was still frightened. The power of the explosion just now is not something that ordinary sergeants can withstand.

They call themselves archers, thinking that as long as the bow and arrow are in hand, they are invincible in the world, how have they ever seen such great power?

After a long time, I don't know who shouted: "Hurry up!" ”

Countless sergeants had the same mind, rushed out of the camp tent, took the horses that were shaken to the ground at the door of the camp, turned over the horses, waved the whip again and again, and ran towards the north.

The sound of the horse's hooves brought the frightened companions back to their senses, and they followed suit, snatching the horses and fleeing.

For a time, Sergeant Warat was defeated.

…………

Liu Nianyan was already in battle, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and when he took a look, the enemy troops scattered and fled north.

"It's not good, they're going to run. Pursue! He immediately gave the order, took the lead, rode his horse around the pit, and chased after him.

The sergeants of the 300 Shenji Battalion were not to be left behind, and followed Liu Nian closely, urging the horses to fan-shape and chase after the Vara rout.

…………

Soon after Zhang Ning took a thousand people out of the city, he found that the direction of the 3,000 battalions was wrong, combined with the situation he saw in the city, how could he not understand that Song Ying did not go to support Liu Nian, but went to capture him alive first.

It's too treacherous.

"Quick, keep up." He gave the order, and at the same time waved his whip again and again, urging the horse forward. The whip knocked out the blood marks on the horse's buttocks, and he stepped off the horse and spread its hooves, and rushed forward as if the hooves did not touch the ground.

The sergeants all knew very well that this Lord Zhang in front of him, Marquis Zhang was a popular man in front of the emperor, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he must not be lost, he wanted less hair, and everyone couldn't eat and walk. So everyone didn't want to hurry up with them.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ning to catch up with Liu Nian, and the 1,000 sergeants of the 5th Army Battalion and the 300 sergeants of the Shenji Battalion joined together to chase the fleeing Wara Army.

Zhang Ning confirmed that Liu Nian was not injured, and said, "Ah Nian, let the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion stay in formation and shoot while chasing." ”

Liu Nian didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "Okay." Then the order went down.

The sergeants of the Shenji Battalion have been training for three or four months, so why spend so much time if they are just training to change formations while standing? Liu Nian and Gu Chun used their brains, and they had trained all kinds of training methods, including immediately changing formations and shooting.

Not to mention, the sergeants' ability to shoot immediately is quite high, and their marksmanship is not bad, and they do not lose the kung fu of the Warat army in archery on horses.

The Warat army was in a hurry like a lost dog, and was hurriedly fleeing the road, when suddenly there was a gunshot from behind, and they all looked back, and saw that some of their companions had fallen off their horses, and then looked closely, the Ming army behind them was neatly shaped, and the guns in their hands spit fire.

The arquebuses of the Ming army, the Wara army has long heard of them, and the companions behind them fall from time to time, how can there be anyone who is not afraid?

Many people fled for their lives.

But the gunshots of "Bah, Boom, Boom" continued, and there were more and more companions who fell off the horse.

When did the Ming army become so terrible? The Warat army was eager to give birth to wings and fly high into the air to avoid the projectiles of the Ming army. Unfortunately, their willingness was doomed to fail.

Zhang Ning observed for a while and found that when the Shenji Battalion was chasing after the horses, although it did not affect the change of formation, when the horses were running, the accuracy of the marksmanship of a few sergeants was discounted.

Moreover, the Warat army was very cunning, and the whole person lay on the back of the horse, in order to save his life.

Zhang Ning said: "Shoot the horse." ”

Horses are large and natural targets for spears.

Liu Nian didn't think about it so much, Zhang Ning did everything he said.

After the new order was given, the horse's buttocks, which were galloping in a hurry, kept spurting blood, and the horses were in pain, jumping and trying to throw their masters off their backs.

Sure enough, the marksmanship is much more accurate. Liu Nian was overjoyed, and at the same time comprehended Zhang Ning's meaning, and ordered again: "Don't save the projectile, just give me a shot." ”

This time, the party brought a lot of projectiles, so there is no need to worry about not having enough.

The sergeants were a little at a loss when they saw the enemy horses jumping after being shot, until Liu Nian gave the order, and they realized that one shot could not be killed, so a few more shots would be enough? The important thing is that the horse's butt sprayed with blood is easy to aim.

After round after round of shooting, the badly wounded or bleeding horses crashed to the ground, throwing their owners on their backs to the ground.

Zhang Ning ordered: "The five military camps are captured alive." ”

The sergeants of the two battalions have a very tacit understanding, the front is the Shenji battalion shooting horses, and the five military battalions are tied up, the division of labor and cooperation, and they are intimate.

It didn't take long for many of the Warat sergeants to become prisoners.

The sergeants of the Fifth Army Battalion were in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, but they would not let the prisoners get on their horses and slow down their horses. Instead, they were strung together with ropes and dragged on the ground, and many of the captives were dragged to the point that their skin was broken and drenched in blood.

Seeing that the Ming army was getting closer and closer, many of their companions became prisoners and were strung together, so they took off their hard bows, took out arrows, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army.

It's just that they were flustered and lost their standards, and only shot a few people, and the Ming troops who were shot were not deeply hit, let alone hurt the critical parts.

Liu Nian was furious, kept cursing, and shouted loudly: "Throw me 'thunder', bang him with milk, milk." ”

"Ah Nian!" Zhang Ning stopped him and said: "The enemy and I are getting closer and closer, gradually mixing together, if you throw 'thunder' in the back and injure the comrades in front, what should you do?" ”

The life of every sergeant of the Ming Army is extremely precious in Zhang Ning's heart, how can he be injured by mistake?

Liu Nian was so anxious that his voice changed and said, "They want to run." ”

Out of Datong is the boundless grassland, and the more Sergeant Warat runs, the more scattered he becomes, this is determined to flee back to his hometown. It's just that his subordinates have to keep in formation, and if they continue like this, there will always be some fish that slip through the net.

Zhang Ning called Ren Rong over and said, "You tell the enemy to raise your hands and surrender to avoid death, and allow them to be tied to their horses and return to Datong." ”

Ren Rong is very good, full of energy, and if he shouts with full luck, both the enemy and me can hear it clearly.

Sure enough, after Ren Yinglian shouted three times, many Warat troops slowed down their horses.

"Marquis Zhang has an order, those who surrender will not die, they don't have to be dragged on the ground, and they will be tied to a horse and brought back to Datong."

Ren Rong said the fourth time, and a Warat sergeant raised his hands above his head.
