Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Tanjialing (3)
"Yes!" These cavalrymen knew that only by defeating the short-clothed thieves in front of them could they escape from this Tanjialing at this moment, and without a moment's hesitation, they immediately rode their horses and sprinted over. But this time they learned to be obedient, and as they sprinted, they drew their bows and shot arrows, but countless arrows were shot into the array formed by the second battalion, and many of the warriors were killed before they could fight the enemy.
"Damn!" Liu Hei gritted his teeth and shouted: "Don't panic, wait a little closer, we can give these officers and soldiers a counterattack!" ”
Seeing that General Liu Hei was walking in the forefront, the somewhat panicked array gradually stabilized, although there were still soldiers falling, but the whole team still moved forward in an orderly manner, invisibly putting a lot of pressure on the officers and cavalry, many officers and cavalry had involuntarily stopped, and some slowed down unconsciously.
"The spearmen and the first row of musketeers crouched, the second row of musketeers half crouched, the third row of musketeers stood, and the three rows of musketeers behind were ready!" When there were only a few dozen steps left from Tan Huan's cavalry, Liu Hei stopped the queue and immediately ordered.
"Rush over immediately and don't delay!" Tan Hui said that he first sprinted over with dozens of elite soldiers around him, and the rest of the cavalry had to immediately ride their horses to follow. But at this time, Liu Hei had already given the order to shoot, and countless iron bullets from arquebuses formed an iron curtain from top to bottom and overturned towards the cavalry in front of him. In an instant, the cavalry that rushed to the front rolled directly to the ground, and the cavalry that followed behind was also shot through the head.
Tan Huan, who was lucky enough to dodge the past, couldn't help but be furious, and directly rushed over from the left and right sides with the remaining family elite horsemen, and was about to slash at these musketeers who were stepping up to light the fire rope, when suddenly several spears stabbed over, and many cavalrymen who were caught off guard were directly pierced to the ground, and Tan Huo was almost pierced through the chest, fortunately his horse turned quickly.
"Bastard!"
Tan Hui really couldn't stand it, his cavalry was the strongest army in the Sichuan army except for the white pole soldiers, but now half of the men and horses were lost by these short-clothed thieves, if it weren't for his insistence as the commander, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago. But now that he has been forced into a desperate situation, he can't care about it, and he still took the lead in slashing at these Han soldiers with more than a dozen brave family members, and he also killed a few Han soldiers who didn't dodge. The other cavalry couldn't help but increase their confidence when they saw this, but soon, they found that the array of short-clothed thieves did not collapse because they were killed a few people, but continued to harvest the lives of these cavalrymen.
"Lord Garrison, let's withdraw first, this short-clothed thief is not so easy to deal with!" After a thousand general persuasions for a long time, Tan Hui had to withdraw, but now there are only thousands of cavalry left around him, and most of them have lost their morale and are unwilling to sprint again, and at this time, the soldiers of the fourth battalion and the gendarmerie directly under him and the second battalion are also gradually narrowing the encirclement, and many cavalrymen began to unconsciously dismount and try to escape into the jungle on both sides.
Tan Hui didn't stop it when he saw this, after all, even he didn't have the fighting spirit to fight again with these short-clothed thieves in front of him, but what he didn't understand was that these short-clothed thieves were more tenacious than the white pole soldiers of General Qin's soldiers, and he had already begun to guess that these short-clothed thieves were the Han family's army, but he still didn't understand how the Han family's army suddenly appeared here. But now there was no time to think about it, Tan Huo had to order all the cavalry to dismount and flee from the jungle on both sides and send people to immediately ask Zhao Ronggui for help.
But Yang Ming would not give him another chance, because Yang Ming had already let the third battalion and the first battalion rush over from the jungle on both sides at this time, the first to rush over was the cavalry mark of the first battalion, some of the cavalry who had not had time to escape into the jungle had just dismounted and were cut down by the cavalry mark like a melon and chopping vegetables, while the other cavalry who fled into the jungle were surrounded by the third battalion and the other soldiers of the first battalion in a pine forest within a radius of less than three miles.
"Lord Garrison, what can we do, I'm afraid we can't wait for General Zhao to send reinforcements", Mr. Qian said to Tan Hui a little dejectedly, Tan Hui also nodded lonely, now he really doesn't know what to do, secretly thinking that he wanted to take advantage of this to achieve the merit of suppressing thieves and become a Chongqing general after Zhao was promoted to the general soldier, but he didn't expect that he would have to sink into the sand, however, Tan Hui did not choose to give up because of this, but commanded in a low voice: "Surrender." ”
Soon, the soldiers of the Han army told Yang Ming the news that Tan Huo was going to surrender, but Yang Ming was unwilling to let such a historical sinner who would later surrender to the Qing army and turn the butcher's knife to his compatriots continue to live, so he ordered: "Tell General Tan that I can accept the surrender and promise never to kill all the captured officers and soldiers, but he must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"What, you want me to be loyal to the court?" Tan Hui was about to collapse in an instant, he couldn't understand that these short-clothed thieves were obviously traitors to the imperial court, and now that they had defeated themselves, they still had to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, just like a thief saying that another thief shouldn't steal things, so Tan Huo couldn't help laughing, but when Lan Guanwei threw a knife in front of him, he couldn't help but stop smiling and asked, "Do you really want me to commit suicide?" ”
Lan Guanwei nodded.
"No, no, how can you kill me, you tell you that General Yang, I, Tan, am willing to take refuge in him, willing to fight the world for him, and willing to sacrifice all my family wealth to support him, I just hope he can take me in!" Tan Huo shouted loudly.
"Our son said that making you loyal is the best arrangement for General Tan! Hurry up, it's just a big scar in the bowl to wipe it with a knife, soon! Lan Guanwei said impatiently.
Seeing this, Tan Huo had to kneel down: "Please, please, I can do nothing, let me be a soldier." ”
Lan Guanwei still didn't answer him, Tan Huan had no choice but to stand up tremblingly, picked up the knife, and smiled miserably: "Okay, okay, if you want me to be loyal, it's okay, but you rebellious ministers and thieves, don't think that you can sit back and relax by annihilating my five thousand elite horsemen, the imperial army will exterminate you sooner or later!" ”
After a long time, Lan Guanwei came to Yang Ming: "Childe, Tan Huo committed suicide. ”
"Okay, rest for half a day, leave a mark responsible for escorting these prisoners and war horses back to Dongxiang County, and the rest of the soldiers will start to rush to the front line of Xiashan Pass immediately when tomorrow is ugly!" After Yang Ming finished speaking indifferently, he chose a long stone and sat down, and couldn't help but take a long breath and said: "Tan Hui is dead, if it really comes to the day when the Thirteen Kuidong families need to capture Chongqing in order to save the Yongli Imperial Court, maybe no one will rebel again." ”
