Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Cavalry Defeated
Zhang Qiang put down his legs on the table in the lobby, held the table with one hand, leaned forward, looked at Mi Chun under the hall, and said earnestly:
"Mi Chun, you are not hot enough, He Jin has been in the rebel army for so many years, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, hundreds of thousands of Qing troops did not catch him last year, slippery like a loach, don't look at him under my hands for a few days, but this time he sent troops without telling him, you know, he is not stable enough, although I have been promoted this time, giving him a lot of power, but his current situation can only rely on us, so I am not afraid of him against me, the rest of the matter is your business, show me to stabilize him, although you are fighting, In terms of experience, it is not enough, but it is enough to be a scout who keeps an eye on people, let me keep an eye on him, if there is any misconduct, I don't need to ask for instructions, and he will be executed immediately. β
Mi Chun was so excited that he almost jumped up, this is Zhang Qiang's great trust in him, treat him as his own, and immediately said: "It's an adult, the villain must not let him turn out of your palm." β
"Well, follow him, learn more, people have not fallen for so many years, and they have not been eliminated, naturally there are reasons for someone's family, when you learn well by his side, I will let you stand alone."
"Master Xie." Mi Chun immediately knelt down on one knee, put one hand on the ground, and shouted with his head down.
"Get up, don't bow like this in the future, trouble, just be pretentious. You are soldiers, not civilians. Zhang Qiang said slowly.
"Yes, sir." Mi Chun stood up and patted the dust off his knees.
"Newspaperβ" A guard shouted from outside the palace and ran in.
"Report to Lord Hu Kuihu, Lord Hu Kuihu has returned with troops."
In the end, Lin Chengcheng did not escape the hunt of hunters who often chased their prey on the steppe, and the Mongol cavalry of Chayer.
Lin Cheng's temperament is not as high as He Jin, seeing that he is surrounded by Mongolian cavalry, the skilled horsemanship of the Mongolian cavalry makes his breakthrough action a farce, his only remaining three hundred soldiers, was killed dozens of people, he collapsed, dismounted and surrendered.
Lin Yangcheng didn't know how many times he had surrendered, he met Liu Liangzuo's troops, he surrendered, he surrendered when he met Zhang Qiang's troops, and then attacked Jinhua Mansion, he was arrested again, and he was arrested repeatedly, if Zhang Qiang hadn't defeated Ruan Dacheng's Qing army that time, he might have been escorted to Yanjing and beheaded to show the public.
More than 200 Mongolian cavalry, dozens of Han army banner cavalry escorted him and his subordinates, arrived at the Oujiang ferry in just one hour after dark, there are Qing soldiers from Songyang County waiting here, the two armies combined, a total of more than 800 people, crossed the Oujiang River, and set up camp in a village less than five miles away from the capital of the prefecture.
After Hu Kui's 800 cavalry walked around the mountain, they turned out of the mountain in the middle of the night, and did not find the Lin Yang Division, but only collected the hundreds of defeated soldiers of the Lin Yang Division.
Just when Hu Kui was very depressed, the sentry in front told him that a Qing Tartar army of about seven or eight hundred people was stationed in a village, and Hu Kui was so excited that he rushed forward with the cavalry.
As a result, these hastily formed cavalry teams drawn from the Han army banner and the Ming army's surrender were defeated by the Mongolian cavalry and the Han army banner cavalry with only one face.
Those Mongolian cavalry are the most elite subordinates of Chachar, not ordinary herdsmen, Chachaer is left with these personal soldiers, everything good is equipped for them, in addition to cotton armor, they also wear a leather armor, leather armor is covered with chain mail, helmet is the eight-petal armor of the Qing soldiers, the war horse is a Mongolian war horse with good endurance, although it is shorter, but under the control of the skilled Mongolian cavalry, it is still very good at fighting a group of hastily formed rebel cavalry.
Hu Kui fought hard, shouted and screamed, and the dispatch was orderly, but he did not stop the rout of the cavalry, and had to flee back to the capital city with the remnants of more than 200 people.
The Mongols captured 300 cavalry, 300 horses, killed 200 cavalry, and even captured the rout of Lin Yang's troops that had just been collected by Hu Kui.
The Mongolian cavalry who returned to the camp victoriously had a long line of rebel cavalry tied behind their horses, and the rebel cavalry was tied with their hands and ran with the horses.
Back at the camp, Cha Zhor said to the commander of the Han Army's banner cavalry: "Give the war horse to the Qing soldiers from Songyang, choose some soldiers from them who can ride horses, or soldiers who are originally cavalry, expand your subordinates, and select some people among the prisoners of war to expand your subordinates." β
The commander of the Han army banner was overjoyed, "Xie Tai hit, the slave will do it." β
The commander beside Cha Er sneered at the commander of the Han Army's banner cavalry who was far away, "My lord, the Han people are dogs, and they wagged their tails and begged for mercy when they threw a bone, and they were very happy." β
But he didn't want to, Cha Yaer gave him a whip, "Get out, the Jurchens are not good animals, they just want to consume us, don't you know that we are not even as good as dogs now?" β
He was furious, now his herdsmen and subordinates have been divided between other Mongolian tribes and Jurchens, he is now wandering in the far south of the Ming Dynasty, he can't go back to his home, and he is angry, this subordinate touches his moldy head like this, of course he will not be polite.
The commander paused for a moment, and immediately ran to the side with his horse in a gray manner.
Chahar turned to the other cavalry commander next to him and said, "Where are the remaining cavalry of the Sunit Division?" β
Another cavalry commander said, "Taiji, inquire clearly, they are going to chase that Nanming Emperor tonight." I heard that they had escaped. β
Cha Gang frowned, pointed to the other cavalry commander and said, "Go and take people back overnight, find the leader of Yalta, and let him bring those Mongolian cavalry here, and ignore the Han general." β
The cavalry commander said: "This is not appropriate, if you let the Jurchens know that you took away the cavalry of the Sunit Division, you will be in danger." β
Cha Er frowned, "Let you go, just go, when, I need to ask your opinion." β
The cavalry commander immediately said, "Yes, Lord Taiji." β
Cha Er pointed to a cavalry guard and said, "Go and look at those Han military banners and other cavalry, don't move those two women, understand?" β
The Guards said, "Yes, my lord." β
Zhang Qiang saw Hu Kui who was embarrassed and led his troops back, his hands were trembling with excitement, he pointed at Hu Kui, speechless.
One last long sigh: "Alas-"
Waving his hand, "Let's go down and rest,"
He rubbed his forehead, these Mongolian cavalry really didn't make people worry, he thought about the news reported by the sentry, guessing the intentions of these Mongolian cavalry, they so blatantly approached the state capital and defeated Hu Kui's cavalry, for what?
But he knew that these cavalry might not be able to defeat his army, but if he wanted to run, he really had no way to take them, people got on their horses and ran away, with Zhang Qiang's current cavalry, it was really not enough to see, and he didn't dare to chase it, and he couldn't catch up.
It seems that it is time to build a strong cavalry corps.
