Chapter 177: Ambush 10

Zhang Qiang turned his head and looked at the road again, why is it that whether it is the way or the arquebus factory, the rescue force is not enough now, it has been more than forty minutes, close to an hour, how to fight this battle?

It seems that the quality of these garrison troops and militia units is too poor, their reaction time and combat effectiveness are not enough to defend the factory, and in order to trade with all parties, they have set the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army too laxly, so that so many enemies will be mixed in.

If I can escape my life today, I must vigorously rectify and vigorously rectify the entire territory.

Zhu Dayou's work is too lax, and the intelligence department he is in charge of seems to be too inefficient.

Who can I change it for?

Many people are promoted by low-level soldiers, their vision and experience and knowledge are too low, even if they are themselves, they are only influenced by later generations, and many things only know one thing, know what it is, and don't know why, so many departments just set up a framework, but in fact it did not have much effect.

Maybe there are too many soldiers, maybe they have mastered the arquebus combat skills, and they have weapons and equipment that surpass the Ming Dynasty, and their Jinhua Righteous Army stands out from the crowd, and they can do whatever they want in the land of the south, but if they want to develop, they also need talents.

can develop so well, in the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army, which is well-known around, there is no one who is educated, capable, and famous.

You Haibo, with some ability, the Ming Dynasty, maybe the prefect of any prefecture, is okay, but after all, his foundation is a strong man in the mountains, and a lot of knowledge and ability are not enough to help him expand his territory, so he can only maintain his territory.

Jin Sheng came and went, he always wanted to get to the emperor's side, feeling that he was not enough to use a person like him as a low-level person, although he helped himself a lot when he was in the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army, the official framework of the entire territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army was still set up by him, many talents, many officials in the territory of the Jinhua Righteous Army, and the officials who served for themselves were arranged and recommended by him.

Zhang Qiang is very grateful to him and wants to keep him, but he can't keep him.

Maybe you can take it one step further and you'll be fine.

What's the next level?

Gain greater prestige?

Or completely occupy the entire province of Zhejiang?

"My lord, the enemy is charging." The guy who took over as the captain of the cavalry ran over in a panic and said to Zhang Qiang.

This new cavalry captain, that is, his new guard captain, because the guard captain in front of him in order to cover himself, took a dozen wounded to stick to the front-line position, and died honorably, and recommended this guy when he sacrificed, this guy is a squad leader, a guy whose ability is better than another squad leader, a guy who is quite appreciated by Zhang Qiang's original guard captain.

But let him take up his post in a hurry and take over the burden of his predecessor, he was still a little uncomfortable, and he was a little flustered when he commanded another team of soldiers.

Zhang Qiang hurriedly looked at the place where the enemy was located, the enemy had already launched a large-scale charge, perhaps this was the last charge.

"The first group come with me and hold their ground,"

"The second group took twenty steps back, established a defensive line, and together held off the enemy."

Zhang Qiang shouted to order the remaining seventy or so soldiers, and then turned back to the new captain of the guard and said: "You take thirty cavalry to stand by thirty meters behind us, and when we fight with the enemy for a while, you rush out with the cavalry from the side, and the front half of the short fire gun shoots a round, and when the short fire gun fires, the back half of the cavalry passes over the front cavalry, charges with sabers, and gives me the enemy's cavalry to knock down, annihilate him, at least to defeat them, you know?" ”

"Yes, sir."

Zhang Qiang looked at him and ran to execute the order, shook his head, this guy has a definite order, and he is meticulous in his execution, he is an order to obey the order, to serve as his own guard captain, he must have his own ideas and brains, and he can make decisions for himself and save himself in times of crisis.

In the place where they were originally ambushed, there were still some seriously wounded, about seven or eight soldiers, and some of them were wounded in the legs, and they were left in the middle of the position when they retreated, and they had stopped screaming at the moment, and the occasional humming sound let people know that they were still alive.

"Boom"

Thirty horses may not be much, but in such a hilly area, on such a moonlit night, beside such a quiet mountain forest, where the sound of the murmuring of the nearby brook could be heard, when they hit at high speed, the sound was shocking, frightened, terrified.

And the shouts of the enemy.

The cavalry rounded some dead horses in the center of the battlefield, jumped over the corpses, and began to climb up the hillside.

But at this moment, two or three gunshots suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

When Zhang Qiang and the others had not yet fired, the shouting Portuguese musketeers were only down the hillside of the enemy, and when they were about to shoot and suppress the hillside of Zhang Qiang's side, the sudden two or three gunshots made the enemy's cavalry charge stop abruptly.

Zhang Qiang closed his eyes, he knew that it was the wounded who were loyal to him who did it, they could have laid down on the ground and pretended to be dead in peace.

This is the hinterland of their own territory, thousands of troops before and after, even if these people can destroy their own people, they can't escape the siege, they can wait for the rescuers to come later to treat their injuries, they can choose to be silent, even in the future, they will not object to them, they have done their best.

"Kill—"

An even more tragic sound sounded, and two or three lightly wounded people who could still move jumped up with all their might, and pounced on the Portuguese cavalry who passed by them, and the Portuguese cavalry easily killed the two of them, but they were hugged by a guy and bit on the horse's hooves, and the war horse suffered pain and kicked him away, and the furious war horse played a bad role.

Knocked the Portuguese cavalry on their horses to the ground and confused the formation.

Slows down the speed of enemy impact.

The soldier who fired in front wounded two cavalrymen and wounded one horse.

These wounded, with their actions, bought Zhang time and caused damage to the enemy.

Zhang Qiang's eyes were already red at the moment, and he shouted, "Shoot, eliminate these foreign devils." ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

Fierce gunfire rang out, and seven or eight of the recharging Portuguese cavalry fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the horses of their companions behind.

"Fire."

Zhang Qiang shouted again.

The second group of twenty soldiers then opened fire, killing and wounding seven or eight more of the enemy's cavalry.

More than half of the enemy's cavalry was killed and wounded, and the remaining enemy cavalry was still quite large, and the arquebusiers who had come from both sides of the enemy also fired.
