Chapter 162: Surprising

"Chirp, tweet, tweet!" When Dolgon and the others were about to turn around and lead the army back to the camp, the mortars of the Laizhou army fired again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

More than twenty cannonballs whistled happily, and unexpectedly came straight to the position of the golden dragon banner where Dorgon was.

The sound of cannonballs tearing through the air as they flew quickly was particularly harsh and clear on the empty flat ground outside Gu'an City.

"Not good!" "Protect the master!" When Dolgon's side saw the cannonballs coming, they jumped off their horses, and at the same time rushed to act as human shields for Dolgon.

"Ahh

But this reckless act of Bayala was lucky enough to save Dorgon's dog's life.

Seven or eight pieces of shrapnel instantly pierced the body of this bayara, and one of them was even pierced into his neck. The shrapnel cut through the large artery in his neck, gurgling blood.

Despite this shield of flesh, Dorgon still suffered. Three pieces of shrapnel with tremendous kinetic energy pierced the exquisite white armor on his body and pierced his thighs and shoulders respectively.

"Boom", "boom", "boom"! More than a dozen earth-shattering explosions sounded in the ears of the captives near the Golden Dragon Banner.

In the eyes of everyone, puffs of smoke urged countless fragments of corpses to rise into the air, permeating the entire Golden Dragon Banner.

Dolgon's banner owner, Baylor, was also blown to the ground, and countless holes were blown open on the banner. The shock wave from the explosion of the cannonballs tossed several captives into the sky like toys.

The shards of steel with tremendous kinetic energy suddenly beat the bodies of these fully armored soldiers like a sieve. Black smoke and red flames enveloped the entire position of the Chinese army.

"Quick, quick! Rescue the master! Seven or eight of them were lucky enough to pick up a small life, and when they got up, they rushed to him desperately, picked up Dolgon, and ran back.

They had barely gone far when another round of mortar shells came whistling.

Now the sound of this cannonball breaking through the air is like a call for life, which makes the captives and devil soldiers frightened, and one by one they beat the war horses fiercely, and they fled back as if they were flying.

But no matter how fast the men and horses ran, they were still not as fast as the shells fired by mortars. This round of shelling once again took the lives of more than 40 prisoners.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp", round after round of shelling, like long eyes, chased the direction of the Manchu escape, and blew some unlucky Manchu to the ground.

The neighing of horses, the screams of the captives, and the explosion of cannonballs resounded constantly among the fleeing crowd of captives.

"My lord! Let your subordinates lead the cavalry battalion to pursue it! Tang Xiaoxian ran to ask excitedly.

Chen Song and Brother Yin, the two "militants" standing beside Wang Rui, also looked at Wang Rui with bright eyes.

"My lord......" Fang Yuan saw that these people were going to persuade Wang Rui to fight again, so he quickly stood up and persuaded him.

"What are you chasing? You boys, can't you settle down? Ha ha! Lao Tzu listened to Mr. Fang this time, so Lao Tzu didn't chase him! Wang Rui laughed.

In fact, Wang Rui is still a bit like a farmer who has just broken out. Anyway, it's a bit petty, and he is still reluctant to let his cavalry team, which only has more than a thousand people, pursue him.

Although he Wang Rui is rich and capricious, in Laizhou, Shandong, it is still quite difficult to buy and raise war horses in large quantities. Wang Rui still relied on the help of Fan Fu, the treasurer of Dengzhou, the Fan family firm in Shanxi, and tossed for several years before he successively purchased more than 3,000 horses.

And Wang Rui paid a lot of money, he gave the Fan family the right to sell exclusive products such as glass and mirrors produced in Fushan Bay in the north.

This traitor businessman Fan's family has made Wang Rui grit his teeth with hatred. But now there is no way, the money that should be made by the other party still has to be earned. Therefore, the Fan family also made a lot of money from this transaction.

It's just that I don't know if this traitor will continue to do this good horse business with himself after the news of the Laizhou army's defeat of the captives spreads.

Therefore, Wang Rui still wanted to smoothly bring back the captured war horses, and after having these nearly 5,000 war horses, he could train at least 3,000 cavalry.

These 3,000 cavalry, plus the previous 1,000 cavalry, as well as the personal guards, the total number of cavalry of the Narai State Army can reach 4,500.

This number of cavalry, of course, is still too small in the face of full captives. However, when facing other Ming armies, or the rogue armies that may be encountered later, this valuable cavalry will also have the strength to fight.

In Wang Rui's memory, when Cao Wenzhao, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, pursued Liukou with 3,000 iron horsemen, he killed himself in Jijia Mountain because he was outnumbered. Damn, it's a typical example of an ant biting an elephant to death!

Therefore, it is still necessary to expand the army, expand the army! In the case of financial support, build a strong army and build a large army!

Although Dolgon's banner was blown down by a cannonball, Wang Rui was still unsure whether he had killed Dolgon, and he didn't think that he had crossed over, so he had the air of a king and could easily solve these historical figures.

Besides, who knows if there will be a full army behind? With Wang Rui's current firearm performance, there is no dense formation, and he still can't stop a large number of cavalry charging for the time being, and he can't see this too clearly.

Therefore, keeping the victories he has achieved and maximizing the benefits of this battle of King Qin is the most important thing he should do at present.

As for making the cavalry useless, in Wang Rui's memory, it seems that it will have to wait until the machine gun comes out. The machine gun was also used by Wang Rui when he was in the army, and it can be loaded and unloaded very quickly.

However, in his previous life, he was not crazy enough to secretly build machine guns in private. You are a vegetarian in the public security and urban management of the red regime?

Therefore, to replicate the machine gun in this era, Wang Rui still does not have much confidence.

Wang Rui looked at the people who survived the catastrophe not far away, and suddenly asked Chen Ming beside him, "They first appeared from the northwest?" ”

Chen Ming immediately replied: "Indeed, it is from the official road in the direction of Liangxiang, what does the lord mean: The Manchu army has moved to the direction of Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beijing?" Then due south and southeast may be able to go. ”

Wang Rui thought for a while, turned his head to Chen Song and said, "Choose ten smart and brave soldiers of the personal guard, let them escort Mr. Fang to the Beijing Division with Brother Yin, I have a few very important letters to send." ”

Chen Song still did not ask superfluous questions, and immediately wrote the names of the ten personal guard soldiers, and sent someone to inform the ten people to come to the Chinese army to stand by. After a while, with the sound of a string of horses' hooves, Brother Yin and ten guards had already rushed over by two horses.

This time, more than 800 horses were captured, so that the number of horses of the guards was increased by one, so that they could expand the scope of their reconnaissance activities.

Wang Rui glanced at everyone one by one and said to them: "The captives have retreated now, and you escort Mr. Fang from the east." If you want to travel overnight, first go east, and then go north to Beijing, preferring to take more detours. Even if you are all gone, you must escort Mr. Fang to Jingshi safely. ”

"Don't worry, sir! The subordinates promise to deliver Mr. Fang safely! Senior Brother Yin responded with a smirk. The other ten guards also looked fierce and responded very simply.
