The 1,500 ironclad cavalry behind him were demoralized, forming a formation of chain horses and rushing forward, unstoppable.

At this time, Qiao Daoqing pulled out the ancient sword from behind his back, and there were words in his mouth, and he let out a loud shout.

Qin Ming and the others suddenly felt that the sand was flying, and the black clouds instantly enveloped the team, and countless demons and monsters attacked. The ironclad cavalry was frightened and forgot about Gongsun Sheng's arrangement just now.

Gongsun Sheng shouted: "Carving insect skills, see me break you." ”

With a finger of the long sword in his hand, a gust of wind blew, the black clouds disappeared, and the sun was still just right.

Qin Ming also came to his senses and shouted, "Splash black dog blood, so that he can't use spells anymore." ”

The troops in front of them had black dog blood and splashed forward. Qiao Daoqing's cultivation is an evil way, and he is most afraid of such filthy things, Qiao Daoqing has never used illusion again.

rushed, Tian Hujun's horn also sounded. With a whining horn, the hussars moved, swooped up, and went straight for the chain of horses.

"Kill." The army shouted, and violently collided together, and the collision of the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry that had not been trained for a long time was simply an act of sending people to the head. Qin Ming took the lead, a mace waved left and right, dangdang, dangdang, and smashed over more than a dozen enemy soldiers one after another.

In just a few minutes, the light cavalry was scattered and fled by the onslaught.

Fang Qiong said: "The military advisor is pushing quickly, after I come to the palace, our light cavalry is not suitable for fierce battles with heavy cavalry." ”

Qiao Daoqing said, "Okay, retreat." ”

More than 10,000 troops retreated together, divided into three groups, and retreated in the direction of Taiyuan. Qin Ming, the second battalion let go of the large army, and only intercepted the more than 1,000 cavalry on the tail, and under heavy pressure, the enemy surrendered. At this time, the role of the light cavalry was revealed, the light cavalry had to run, and the heavy cavalry could not catch up at all.

Gongsun Sheng said: "The Qin Ming Department is on alert, and the Shibao Department is cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the prisoners. ”

"Yes."

The captives were tied up in strings, and the wounded were treated regardless of whether they were friends or foes. More than 600 enemy soldiers were killed in the battle, and basically the heavy cavalry was charged in a few minutes.

His own side also killed dozens of people in the battle, and Qin Ming arranged to collect the corpses and transport them back to Yangquan without mentioning.

When Gongsun Sheng was about to go to the battlefield, Chao Gai arrived with his troops and said, "How is the battle situation here?" ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "The two armies of Qiao Daoqing and Fang Qiong together have a total of more than 10,000 people, and they rushed wildly together, and the Qin Ming Department and the Shibao Department stopped the tail. ”

"Yes, the battle is very good, if all of them are intercepted, the enemy will be desperately fighting to the death. Then the losses of our army will be great. Chao Gai said.

Gongsun Sheng was very relieved that Chao Gai did not swell and kept a clear head.

Gongsun Sheng arched his hand and said: "There is something very worried about Poor Dao, and I hope my brother can pay attention to it." ”

"It's all my own brothers, just say something, don't be so polite." Chao Gai said.

Gongsun Sheng pointed to the corpse on the ground and said: "The soldiers cleaned up the battlefield too hastily, and the corpses of our own soldiers are okay, but the corpses of Tian Hujun were buried too hastily, and now it is spring, which is easy to cause plague, which is a very dangerous thing." ”

This is indeed a problem, if it is a winter war with low temperatures, the possibility of causing a plague is relatively small. But now the weather is late spring, and the wheat harvest is about to be made.

"And what about your proposal?" Chao Gai said.

Gongsun Sheng said: "If the front-line elite troops are allowed to spend a lot of time dealing with post-war matters, it will affect combat and training. Poor means that the captives who are recruited are specially arranged to deal with these things. ”

"Okay, then there will be Lao Gongsun Junshi first. Take responsibility for this first. Chao Gai said.

Immediately arranged for Gongsun to lead dozens of Taoist priests, thousands of construction soldiers and 1,000 civilians under his command to be professionally responsible for the post-war epidemic prevention work. In the era of underdeveloped medical care, epidemic prevention is the top priority. Gongsun Sheng was good at feng shui site selection, digging multiple deep pits to bury corpses in remote places where non-water sources were located, and setting up stone tablets covered with a large amount of quicklime to record the battle. Then the Taoist priests chanted the sutra and prayed for the blessings of the soldiers who died in battle.

This battle was fought beautifully, annihilating 1,500 infantry and 800 cavalry of the Tianhu Army. More than 2,000 people were taken prisoner, and more than 1,000 horses were captured, corresponding to less than 100 casualties of the Jeju army. Except for a big old man like Li Kui, the other generals were very tempted.

Chao Gai said: "It has been three years since the Vulcan Gun was equipped, and it has experienced dozens of large and small battles. The performance is still very good, and the generals of the infantry know more. The generals of the cavalry knew very little, and I discussed with several military advisors that I should convert some of the cavalry into musketeers. I usually ride a horse, but when I encounter a battle, I dismount and line up. ”

Chao Gai asked his soldiers to take a few empty guns and show them to several generals and lieutenants of the cavalry.

Yang Zhidao: "The Vulcan gun uses gunpowder and arquebus, can it still be used normally when it rains?" ”

"This is a very acute problem, and the biggest flaw of the Vulcan is that it cannot be used in rainy days." Chao Gai said.

Shi Bao said: "Then once the musketeers cannot use their weapons, they will not become lambs." ”

Zhu Wudao: "This has to be tactically speaking, if it is a large-scale battle, the musketeers will not fight alone. Archers, sword and shield bearers, pikemen, and cavalry work together with musketeers. Taking a step back, a solitary musketeer would not be a lamb if he could not fire in the rain. Everyone, please take a look. ”

Zhu Wu got up and loaded the military thorn on the Vulcan spear, the body of the gun was originally one meter two, and the body of the gun was made of hardwood, which was very strong, and the bayonet was fifty centimeters long, which was one meter seven.

"In addition to training in shooting, musketeers also had to train in bayonet fighting. Trained musketeers are also very effective in white-knuckle combat. Zhu Wu said.

Sun An said: "I discussed with several of my lieutenants, Ma Lin and Zhao Long, and were willing to be reorganized into musketeers. ”

Chao Gai was very happy and said: "Haha, okay, let's do a pilot first." Sun An, Ma Lin, and Zhao Long stayed. Everyone else should go back, perform their duties, train soldiers, and strictly prevent the sneak attack of the Tianhu army. ”

"Yes." And they all withdrew, every man went to his own business.

Chao Gai said with a smile: "It is very difficult for cavalry * spearmen, and the defects of firearms cannot be overcome in the short term, but the equipment research and development department has been working hard, you can take a look at this riding firearm." ”

Chao Gai took out a brand-new firearm from the box, which was only half a meter long, and could be held in his hand.

"This is called the cavalry short musket, it looks like it's just a miniature version of the Vulcan gun, in fact, there is a big article, this has completely gotten rid of the fire rope, add a spark paper to the trigger, and just pull the trigger when firing." Chao Gai demonstrated, loaded the ammunition, came to the shooting range, and with a bang, white smoke erupted, and the projectile hit the grass target fifty meters away.

Sun An was taken aback, the cavalry archers actually did not have the right head to shoot arrows on horseback, but this short firearm that shot scattered bullets could be very different.
