Chapter 113: Ambush Attack

Even Zhang Qiang's wave of deception, relying on his own losses, had to cripple the enemy's desperate behavior, causing the enemy heavy losses, but it only caused the enemy to lose more than 700 cavalry.

The enemy's forces are still strong.

But the enemy is bad, their forces are too scattered.

After being unable to break up Zhang Qiang's formation, they frantically attacked from all sides, making a detour far away to attack Zhang Qiang and them.

One hundred here, dozens there, three or four hundred on the front, some are still chasing those deserters and fighting with the recalcitrant firecrackers.

There were also dozens of people chasing down a chassar.

Just when Ruan Jie felt that something was wrong and that he had been deceived, he suddenly heard the earth trembling.

Turning around, more than 400 cavalry rushed down from the hillside not far away, dozens of people rushed to his side, and the large group of men and horses rushed towards the cavalry that was storming the position.

The distance of more than 500 meters came in an instant.

His central army, which was only a dozen personal guard cavalry and dozens of cavalry covering the other side, was penetrated by the other side.

Without waiting for Ruan Jie to react, the four hundred cavalry faced the six hundred cavalry who hurriedly returned to fight, and the six hundred cavalry were beaten down by dozens of cavalry as soon as they came into contact, and then they were shot by bows and arrows, and dozens of cavalry fell off their horses and were charged by the pikes again, and the entire cavalry formation was chaotic.

Zhang Qiang shouted in the back, "Go on." ”

More than 100 surviving firecrackers jumped out of the trench, ran more than ten meters away, and fired a volley at the back of the cavalry, and fifty or sixty cavalrymen fell off their horses.

The infantrymen and the musketeers who did not have firearms rushed at the cavalry with their swords.

The cavalry of the brigade charged twice, and after breaking through Nguyen Jie's central army, it turned and rushed towards another group of more than 100 cavalry of the enemy.

The saber was waved, and this time, more than 30 enemy cavalry fell off their horses, and more than 30 of Zhang Qiang's cavalry fell off their horses, and they fought half a catty and eight taels.

The sound of fire on the battlefield was scattered, but every less than a minute of sounding, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses.

After an hour, the enemy's cavalry found that they could no longer gather and attacked Zhang Qiang with a large group of men and horses.

For a time, the enemy's cavalry began to flee.

Yang Yangyang led the cavalry to fiercely pursue the enemy's cavalry team.

In the afternoon, the battle ended, and the battle ended in a crushing victory for Zhang Qiang's side.

Zhang Qiang also killed a lot of the enemy's cavalry in this battle, and after the battle, he no longer commanded, but took two chassars to hunt the enemy's cavalry around.

An hour later, everyone returned to their previous camp.

There is not a single intact person left here, except for the dead and the half-dead wounded.

The tents were burning, the food was burning, and the horses were running away.

The captives also suffered many casualties, and the rest all fled.

However, this time the battle captured a lot of prisoners and returned, which can completely make up for the previous losses.

Yang Yangyang's dark face, white teeth, and blood stains all over his body ran to Zhang Qiang's side, "The casualties and losses of my lord and enemy have been counted." ”

"Read it."

Zhang Qiang sat on an intact chair in the open space of his burned tent, looking at the sky and said leisurely.

"This time our army lost 400 dead and seriously wounded 250," he looked up at Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang said slowly: "There are no immortals in war. ”

Yang Yangyang had no choice but to read it again, "Most of the material losses are large, there are still 300 stones of grain surviving, and there is not much loss of silver taels, in addition to the original, there are also captured, a total of 170,000 taels." ”

"The enemy was killed and wounded, the enemy lost 1,200 people, 700 people were seriously wounded, 1,000 people were captured, more than 30 people were slightly wounded, more than 100 people fled, in addition, we captured the enemy's main general, Nguyen Thieu."

"Also, more than 1,700 enemy horses and more than 600 dead horses were captured."

"The enemy's war horses are all good war horses, some are even foreigners' high-headed war horses, about seventy of them, some are excellent river meandering war horses, about a hundred of them, others have more than seven hundred Mongolian war horses, and the rest are some ordinary war horses from the north and south."

Zhang Qiang stood up, "The harvest is good." ”

Yang Yangyang said: "There are still more than 50 Ming army war horses that we originally captured. ”

"How much have we lost our horses?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Yang Yangyang said: "The cavalry lost more than 180 people, the war horses lost 230 horses, and the rest of the wounded war horses had more than 50 horses. ”

Zhang Qiang smiled bitterly, "This time my team was disabled." ”

Yang Yangyang said: "Yes, even your personal guard cavalry, the chasers, this time also killed and wounded most of them, only forty-five people survived, and they could still fight, and the rest were all dead." But it was precisely they who inflicted great damage on the enemy's cavalry, otherwise with my 400 cavalry, we would not have been able to defeat the enemy's remaining 1,000 cavalry under any circumstances. ”

Zhang Qiang put his hands behind his back, "After this time, go back and expand the chassars to two hundred households, one hundred households are equipped with arquebuses, spears, and sabers, and one hundred households are equipped with bows and arrows, sabers, and short firearms." The total strength is 500 people. ”

Longwu Zhu Yujian walked from a distance under the escort of the chasers, covered his nose, and cautiously stepped over the corpse on the ground, "Zhang Aiqing, it's all my fault, if I rush overnight, I won't be surrounded by enemies here." ”

Long Wu is still very sober, and at the same time he is very shrewd, at this time he knows that he can't do anything except apologize, he knows that this is because he wants to rest, and as a result, Zhang Qiang lost his troops.

A black man rushed out of the smoke and cried out, "Your Majesty. ”

"Who?"

"Escort." The two remaining guards drew their swords and stood beside Longwu.

He Kai's eyes were sharp, "Slow, it's Master Su, Scholar Su." ”

Zhang Qiang looked at Su Guansheng, who was like a flower child, and couldn't help but sigh, "Historical figures, just fate, such a tragic battle, such a sudden attack, this guy was defenseless, and when he was still sitting and calculating other people's dreams, he was able to survive the enemy's cavalry charge, and when the enemy's cavalry came back to tidy up the camp in the future, he was not discovered." ”

Admired.

After some politeness, Emperor Longwu said with palpitations: "Zhang Aiqing, let's hurry up, we have to hurry back to the army, if we continue like this, we will not be able to send people to attack us again." ”

"Well, okay."

Zhang Qiang also knew that he couldn't fight another battle at this moment, the remaining one hundred firecrackers, each wounded, a few infantrymen, lying on stretchers with serious injuries, more than 200 cavalry, also covered in wounds, these more than 300 nearly 400 people, as long as the enemy has the heart, send another 500 cavalry to wipe them all out.

Half an hour later, the procession began to speed up.

When Yang Yangyang, the queen of the palace, drove the war horse to jump over a tent, he saw a female corpse in the open tent, with scattered temples, lying on the ground so quietly, all her clothes were stripped off, and she thought that she had been harmed.

He stared at the female corpse, closed his eyes, mourned for a few seconds, and waved his hand to the guards beside him, "Let's go." ”

On the battlefield, he can't protect these women, and he can't give up his lord, his army is impulsive for a woman, burying his own life, Da Ming is in such a situation, even if he can't guarantee that one day he will be in the wilderness, what can he do?

And Xiao Yuanwai also paid the price for his half-heartedness.

Fan Shaozu, who was dozens of miles away, did not know that the cavalry he sent had inflicted great damage on many people, and at the same time, the entire army had been wiped out.

He had just arrived in Gantang, where he had rested for an hour, and at Frey's suggestion, he was ready to rest before he hurried.

The Portuguese musketeers, who had spent all day in the castle, had not suffered such a long journey, and were more accustomed to sitting on their boats and waiting for the land rather than testing the thickness of their feet on the land.
