Chapter 282: Grab the horse's tail

A personal soldier respectfully reported to Wang Baobao, "The prince is like a god, the front is indeed a suspicious soldier laid by the Ming army, but there are only a few dozen people, and the guns are indeed empty, as if they don't even carry shells, and it's easy to rush over." ”

Wang Baobao asked again, "They didn't find you, did they?" ”

The pro-soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be!" ”

Wang Baobao suddenly picked up the horse bow and released an arrow into the dark, and a figure in the darkness fled towards the Ming army. Wang Baobao glanced at his own soldiers, "You were found just now, but it doesn't matter, hum ......"

Zhang Wuliu ran out of breath and said, "It's really ...... over there." There is a group of people, all of whom are ...... It was the cavalry of the Yuan army. ”

Ma Du frowned and asked, "How many are there?" ”

Zhang Wuliu broke his fingers and simply didn't count, "There are not many people, but ten fingers can't be counted!" ”

Chang Mao said: "What should Brother Du'er do, we don't have cannonballs!" "They were just making noise about the empty cannons, and they didn't really carry heavy shells.

"Wasn't it quite imposing just now? What a panic now! Madu ordered: "Hurry up and throw the torches out, light up the surroundings, and fill the artillery with gunpowder, according to the usual standard of one and a half times!" ”

"But we don't have a projectile!"

"There are no projectiles, but we have this!" Madu stretched out his hands and grabbed a handful on the ground, the official road was well repaired, the earth was mixed with a lot of river sand, and you could see pebbles the size of pigeon eggs.

Chang Mao asked, "Is this okay?" ”

"Why not! Don't fucking talk nonsense, hurry up and get to work, maybe you'll rush over right away. Madu also took the pistol from his waist.

Lao Liu, Zhang Wuliu and Ergou drew knives to protect Ma Du's side, Zhang Wuliu patted Ergou's head and quipped: "Boy, the first time you go into battle, you are very brave, and your hand holding the knife is not trembling." ”

Ergou turned around and smiled: "There's nothing to be afraid of, I've killed someone, the last time someone slapped my head like this, I broke my neck." ”

Zhang Wuliu's hand couldn't help but stagnate, and he smiled curtly: "Big brother is just joking with you, hehe......"

Lao Liu glanced at his son-in-law and said in his heart: "It's really useless, a half-grown child can be bluffed!" ”

Ergou smiled: "I'm also joking with the fifth or sixth big brother, I won't kill people because of such a trivial matter, the last time I killed someone because he robbed me of my black-faced steamed buns." ”

Chang Mao asked his men to use torches to light up the surrounding dozens of steps, and while hurriedly filling the barrel with gunpowder, he poured the sand on the side of the road into it. After Ma Duyi reminded Chang Mao to wake up, he cut off the wooden stick and stuffed it into the barrel.

Before the preparations were completed, there was already a faint sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and Lao Liu put his ear to the ground and listened: "Don't worry, sir, it's less than twenty horses, even if you use dirt, you can blast them into slag." ”

Ma Du said to Chang Mao: "When they arrive, wait until they are lit within thirty steps, otherwise it will not be powerful." ”

With the sound of horses' hooves, I saw more than ten horsemen breaking into the field of vision, and they were killing head-on with great momentum.

"Fuck these few people dare to charge the artillery array!" Chang Mao saw that they were about to rush to within thirty steps, and hurriedly said, "The cannon fires!" ”

Boom Boom Boom ...... There were more than a dozen cannon shots, large and small, and smoke and dust mixed with sawdust flying all over the sky, only to hear the billowing dust and smoke, people screaming, horses neighing, but the sound of horses' hooves did not stop.

The strong evening breeze blew away the dust and smoke, and I saw more than a dozen war horses lying sporadically in front of me, with flesh and blood on their chests and limbs, most of them were not dead on the ground moaning and wailing, but two or two horses were directly shot into the body by wooden sticks.

As for the cavalry, it was even worse, some were crushed and broken under the horses, and some were lying on the ground with bloody faces and moaning and rolling in pain.

Chang Mao said: "I'll give them a good time, it's a small achievement to have these dozen heads." He drew his waist knife and led his men forward, whether it was a man or a horse.

A group of people were working energetically, but suddenly they heard another sound of horses' hooves in front of them, and there were only a few horses. Ma Du's heart is not good, this group of soldiers is really cunning, but there are only about twenty people, and they are even divided into two groups to attack.

"Chang Mao, run! Run into the shadows! ”

But at this moment, it is too late, there are no people in sight, there are already arrows in the dark, but only a few arrows, but each arrow takes a life, and in the blink of an eye, six people have been killed by arrows, and the people of the Shenji Battalion are not equipped with armor, once they are shot at the vital point, they are basically not saved.

Chang Mao and his men finally came back to their senses, and fled into the darkness on both sides, and there was the sound of falling water, and eighty percent of them fell into the ditches on both sides, and only four Madu masters and servants and twenty gunners were left in this small pass.

With the sound of horses' hooves, the other party finally emerged from the darkness, and as soon as he shot out, there were several sharp arrows, one of which was accurate and ruthless and went straight to the door of Madu, who told him to wear a pair of exquisite armor.

As soon as Lao Liu pulled Madu, the sharp arrow grazed his ears with a gust of wind. Lao Liu pushed Ma Du behind the cannon body, "Lord hide here and let them pass!" ”

Almost shot to death, Ma Du was shocked and angry, and raised his hand to shoot at the person who shot an arrow at him, but unfortunately the angle of view was not good, directly hit the horse's neck, a stream of blood came out, the horse immediately died and fell to the ground, and the rider also fell off the horse. The other four couldn't care about running for their lives, so they stubbornly grabbed the reins of the horse and turned back to save them.

If the cavalry stopped moving, there was nothing to fear, and Chang Mao was heard shouting in the dark: "Brothers, take the knife and fuck it!" ”

The people in the artillery battalion will use muskets, but the standard equipment does not have muskets, and the personal weapon is a short two-foot-long knife, and Chang Mao has already rushed out of the darkness with a knife.

More than 20 soldiers of the artillery battalion on Madu's side also rushed out with knives, beating the water dogs, and Zhang Wuliu was the favorite to do and rushed to the front with knives.

A Yuan cavalryman hung down on his horse and pulled the man who fell to the ground, and the man on the ground hurriedly stretched out his hand, but as soon as the hands of the two touched, the man on the ground suddenly pulled the rider above down with a sudden force.

The man on the ground jumped on the horse's back as soon as he jumped his body, and he didn't care that the other soldiers knocked the horse on the belly and left, looking at Zhang Wuliu who rushed over with a knife. He only grabbed a horsewhip in the saddle, and with a flick of his hand, he wrapped the knife in Zhang Wuliu's hand, and snatched his knife away with a pull.

Zhang Wuliu couldn't help but be stunned with empty hands, and the other party passed by him at this moment, "Give me back the knife!" He slammed into overtake.

The other horse's horse had just started, and the speed was not fast, Zhang Wuliu chased two steps and pounced towards the horse's tail, "I grabbed the horse's tail!" Haha......"

The horse's front hooves raised and came to a screeching halt. Madu had never heard of pulling a horse's tail to make a horse stop, but there were people who were dragged by a horse and ran.

Looking at the horse's painful neighing and the two hind legs that were abnormally abandoned, Madu wanted to say, "Are you sure you caught the horse's tail?" ”
