393 Troubled behind enemy lines

He Jiajun's kind of confrontation with the Dashun Dynasty head-on, but always elusive invasion and harassment of the rear and other auxiliary armies, made Li Zicheng, who was in charge of the Chinese army, very angry, but there was not much way.

In the end, the best way Li Zicheng could think of was to send his cavalry out to ride against horseman, so as to ensure that he would not fall behind in battle.

However, the scale of the cavalry sent out was twice as large as the cavalry of the He family's army, and there were 10,000 of them, which must be because as the defender, it was already passive, and it needed to pay more than the cavalry of the He army; Second, it is also because the strength of He's cavalry is better than Li Zicheng's cavalry, and there is still a certain advantage in strength, which is a fact that Li Zicheng has to admit.

After sending the cavalry, the Dashun logistics and auxiliary army was a little less worried at this time, and even the cavalry of the army raided, but with the support of the Dashun cavalry, the danger was quickly relieved and a lot of losses were reduced.

"Where is the main force of the enemy's cavalry?"

After entering the boundary of Dongming County, as it got closer to the range of Caozhou, some hills and woodlands, as well as some streams and lakes gradually appeared on its horizon.

At this time, He Sanjiang, who was hiding in the depths of a valley, patted the fragments of branches and leaves on his body, and asked the members of the military staff office next to him.

"The scouts reported that the enemy cavalry had been cruising on the official road, and at this time it was only more than thirty miles west of our army."

The members of the participating machine should give accurate answers.

"Where is the nearest Dashun baggage?"

Finding a flat terrain and spreading out a map from the personnel participating in the plane, He Sanjiang carefully began to calculate something.

"Here!"

The members of the Aircraft Reference Office pointed to the location of the official road drawn by the dotted line on the map with their hands and gave a reply.

"And where are we now? What is the approximate location of the Dashun cavalry, etc.? ”

He Sanjiang frowned and continued to ask.

The staff members of the Aircraft Participation Division pointed out the locations on the map for them one by one, and then gave a series of data from the Aircraft Participation Department.

"According to the calculations of the Aircraft Department, the speed of the enemy's nearest baggage team, which does not exceed an hour at most, will pass near the valley where our army is located, and the movement of the opposing cavalry is exactly the opposite of the ambush position of our army, and it may move to the vicinity of Dengjiabao, which is nearly forty miles away from our army, and it will take at least an hour or so to return to help."

"Very good, let the brothers cultivate well, replenish dry food and drinking water on the spot, and there will be a tough battle to be fought next!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, the cavalry of the He army mounted their horses one after another, quietly waiting for the signal of the scouts outside the valley!

"Here, the whole army is ready!"

As soon as he said this, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the air outside the valley, and a red cloud, and then slowly disappeared into the air.

"Attack!!"

There was no need to say anything, after less than 5,000 battles, the iron cavalry of the He army swarmed out and rushed towards the official road beyond the valley.

Even in the slightly narrow valley, the cavalry of the He army still maintained a good formation, with five to seven cavalry in each column lined up, maintaining enough reaction time with the cavalry in front and behind, and quickly rushed out of the valley in a short time.

After leaving the valley, the field of vision suddenly widened a lot, and at this time, on the empty official road, there was a convoy of nearly a thousand escort soldiers, coolies, and fifty or sixty oxen and horse carts, fleeing eastward in a panic.

The sudden signal in the sky not only allowed He Juntieqi to obtain information in time, but also gave Dashun, a heavy team, time to react, and it was also a normal reaction for the other party to start fleeing.

And since the cavalry of the He army released such a conspicuous signal, they were naturally not worried that the other party would escape from the palm of their hands, except for the open area behind the valley, it was a good terrain for the cavalry to show their strengths, even if they gave the other party a cup of tea or so to escape, until the last He cavalry rushed out of the lurking valley, they could still see the baggage team fleeing in a hurry more than two miles away.

The Jin Ge Iron Horse shook the earth, led a gray-yellow long dragon, and swooped down on the baggage army several miles ahead, and finally bit the tail of this baggage team in half an hour, and at the same time, it was also a complete cut off the possibility of the other party trying to find a glimmer of life.

On the official road that is almost a plain, with a large group of other baggage and want to run past the light cavalry, unless it is a miracle, in fact, the first time you see the signal from the sky, this baggage team should defend directly on the spot, and seek support from the Dashun army behind and in front of you, maybe there is a little possibility of holding on until the arrival of the Dashun army.

It's just a pity that it is obvious that this commander of the baggage team and other leaders is not very clever, and he missed the last opportunity, and from the moment he took the lead in escaping forward, the future of this baggage and auxiliary army has already been decided.

"Hurry up and take care of the scene, take away everything that can be taken away, and burn everything that can't be taken away!!"

There were no accidents, except for a few careless cavalrymen who were not very killed by the cold arrows of the counterattacking Dashun soldiers, and there were not many unfortunate wounded soldiers.

The Dashun baggage team of nearly 1,000 people, the 200 or so people who were killed in the hundreds, fled into the jungle and were too lazy to pursue, and the more than 100 people who were captured at this time, plus all the oxen, horses, and carts that finally fell into the hands of the cavalry, were the results of this battle.

There was not much time for He Sanjiang to fight the battlefield, and it was not easy to seize the gap between the Dashun cavalry and this baggage team at a large distance, an ambush and pursuit, it had taken nearly an hour, and the rest of the time needed to be evacuated quickly, so the time left for He Sanjiang was still not enough.

"Let's go, don't give Dashun any more life, there may not be such good luck next time!!"

Most of the captured Dashun members were ordinary people who were captured by Dashun to do coolies, and only people like them who had no will to resist were easily captured by the cavalry, instead of being like those old fritters in Dashun, who saw that the battle situation was not good and hid directly in the mountains and forests, knowing that He Sanjiang and they had no time to pursue these remnants of their soldiers.

For ordinary people like Yiyi, it is a matter of whether to kill or not to kill, and in the end, He Sanjiang's choice is to give them a certain amount of rations, and then let them go and leave them to fend for themselves.

By the time the cavalry of the Dashun army and the infantry troops who did not dare to approach from a distance arrived at the scene, all they were left with were piles of raging flames fueled by oxen and carriage carts and cart baggage, and the corpses of Dashun soldiers scattered everywhere.

And He Sanjiang's cavalry team had already left the official road and disappeared into the vast wilderness again.
