463. I want to use the tiger cub as a poor pang (1)
Fa Tan shook the horsewhip with a heavy mind, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was on the horse, but his heart was wandering in the world.
When the red flag was over, when Yue Tuo took a breath, Fa Tan knew the result. Unless Huang Taiji hands over the Zhenghong Flag to Dai Shan again, this flag will not have a bright future for at least ten years!
Luo Luohun was too young and inexperienced, otherwise he wouldn't have been eager to join his new master. It's just that his refuge in exchange doesn't seem to have a good result. When he first received the order, he was still a little confused, but now he has completely figured it out.
Prince Rui wants him to be bait!
Since ancient times, there has been no good end for those who are bait - Fa Tan has a resentment in his heart, that is, he has to use bait, there are Han and Mongolian armies, where do you need to use the Manchu Army Eight Banners like him!
"Niu Lu Zhangjing, here, here, Ming people are here!"
The call of his subordinates woke Fa Tan up, and he froze: "Coming? How many? ”
"The spies can't get close at all, I don't know how many people there are in the Ming Kingdom, but from a distance, you can see that the smoke and dust are huge, and it looks like there are more than 20,000 people. In addition, the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army has a large distance from the rear team, about ten miles apart! ”
"Distance...... Ten miles? ”
The retribution of his subordinates made Fa Tan sit up straight.
Ten miles is not far away, if it is cavalry, that is, it can be arrived in a while, but the Ming army is the cavalry in the front, and the Chinese army is infantry, and the infantry will have to walk these ten miles, but it will take at least half a day.
Half a day was enough for him to fight an ambush. Then withdrew.
Thinking of this, he laughed cruelly, didn't Prince Rui want him to take these two cows as bait, but if the bait bites the fish...... It can only be blamed on the fish, and it is useless. You can't blame the bait for being too powerful.
In this way, you can also show your abilities in front of Prince Rui!
"How far are we from us?" Fa Tan asked again.
"It's about five miles!"
"Okay, give the order, and I'll strike it in front of it. Let Bolo break off...... Pay attention to the timing, the new soldiers of the Ming Kingdom have sharp firearms. If the timing is bad, I'd rather let them pass! ”
Fa Tan's understanding of the new soldiers only stayed on the sharpness of Huwei's firearms. Following Yue Tuolian's defeat, the lesson he learned was not to rush stupidly against the firearms of the new soldiers, as for the rest, he had no experience.
Tiger Guards are good at positional warfare, and as for mobile warfare, their strength ...... It's about the same as the Ming army.
About half an hour later. Fa Tan saw the Tiger Guard cavalry slowly coming, in this mountain valley that was not spacious, nearly two thousand cavalry walked unhurriedly, it seemed that they were afraid that the horses were too tired.
Each of the new soldiers was wearing armor, look at their half-body armor that was covered around their bodies, and the scale armor that was inlaid with them. Everyone wore a visor on their helmet, which made them look even more majestic and mysterious. Fa Tan was extremely greedy, but he thought that if he could succeed. These things will become their own trophies, Fa Tan couldn't help but lick the corners of his lips.
"One, two, three......"
Fa Tan silently counted in his heart, and after counting to ten, he suddenly drew his knife: "Shoot!" ”
On both sides of the narrow valley entrance in front and back, hundreds of arrows suddenly flew out. Fly towards the Tiger Guard who stepped into the trap. The horses neighed, and a few of them fell to the ground after being shot, while the rest dodged.
After a round of arrows, Fa Tan rushed out directly, in addition to the two hundred people who were ambushed on both sides, he also rushed out with two hundred horsemen, in his opinion, the Xinxiang army that was stunned by a random arrow, and then fell into a panic, and his one more impact was enough to make the Xinxiang army unbearable. At this time, the remaining half of the people who were ambushed on both sides came out again, and the rest was divided and destroyed.
He also watched the riding skills of the Xinxiang army from a distance, and he could only say that he still knew how to ride horses, and he was far from being proficient in horsemanship. It is the infantry armor in the Eight Banners, and the riding skills are stronger than it!
But something unexpected happened to him.
Muskets are difficult to use on horses, especially in the event of an attack, when the horses are panicked and the muskets cannot be reloaded or aimed unless they are preloaded. Therefore, at the beginning of the plan, Fa Tan was to shorten the distance between his own side and the opponent as much as possible, so that the advantage of the Tiger Guard musket was limited to the greatest extent.
It is precisely because of this that Jianyu only shot one round of arrows.
"Kill!"
Jian Yu surged out of the valley, if he loaded at this time, he would indeed kill the Tiger Guard by surprise, but what Fa Tan didn't take into account was that the unit that came was the cavalry battalion of the Tiger Guard Teaching Regiment.
The cavalry battalion of the teaching regiment, also known as the dragoon battalion by Yu Guozhen, used muskets that were different from those used by the other troops of the Tiger Guard!
The barrel is shorter and the firing range is closer, with an effective range of only thirty to fifty meters, but one-handed fire is possible!
So what Fa Tan saw head-on was the man's half-arm-length riding spear, and the tiger guard held it in front of his chest with his left hand, and then pulled the trigger.
The smell of gunpowder smoke immediately filled the battlefield with the sound of gunfire. Immediately after, the tiger guard lowered his hand and let the spear hang in front of him by the cloth belt, and raised his right hand at the same time.
In their right hand, they have a cold weapon like a saber or a spear!
Qi Niu's eyes widened, and before he could shout the word "kill", Wang Qinian beside him rushed out. Unlike other one-handed knives, Wang Qinian holds a scimitar in each hand, and without the need to control the reins, the horse will automatically increase and decrease according to the amount of force he uses when clamping the horse's belly. In the Tiger Guard, in terms of riding alone, he is a well-deserved first, that is, Qi Niu, and he has to bow to the wind!
However, seeing this kid rushing out first, Qi Niu's nose was almost crooked.
Yu Guozhen repeatedly confessed that this kid sometimes lacks tendons in his head, so he asked him to watch it closely, but he didn't expect to be honest all the way, but as soon as he focused on the battle, he began to do things!
"Kill!" Without much time to think, Qi Niu kicked the stirrups, and the black horse under the seat also began to accelerate, and soon galloped like a black lightning!
But he was fast, Wang Qinian was faster, and with a click, he broke into Jianyu. The iron cavalry of the two sides hedged, and Wang Qinian's riding skills were not inferior to Jianlu, and he forcibly inserted between the two Jianlu. The hand holding the knife swept slightly, and the two prisoners were still amazed at his riding skills and speed, and they were already to the point.
Fa Tan had realized at this time that he had thought everything too easily.
Tiger Guard's cavalry gun shooting. It proved that for this ambush, the tiger guards were not only prepared, but also the rain of arrows did not cause them much damage at all. Fa Tan thought of the half-body armor that Fang had just made him envious. The heart understands the defensive power of this armor. It's stronger than the new armor they captured from the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom!
That's a natural thing, weapons and equipment made of the best materials, of course, to equip their own soldiers. And these equipment did protect the Tiger Guard Dragoon Battalion, at least in the other party's raid, except for a few who were really upside down and were shot without protecting their eyes with the armor on their arms in time, the rest of the people had a lot of arrows stuck in their bodies, but there were no fatal injuries.
And Tiger Guard's counterattack. It caused great damage to the Jiangu, and at least thirty or forty Jianguo fell from their horses, that is, nearly one-sixth of the Jianguo had lost their combat effectiveness before the actual battle!
Therefore, Wang Qinian broke into Jianyu with great flexibility and pounced towards Fa Tan.
His sword technique was passed down from Shi Jingyan, and this old man is now retired in Xinxiang and no longer goes to the battlefield. But his sword and spear skills were passed down among the Tiger Guards. If Qi Niu got the true inheritance of his marksmanship, then Tian Boguang got his knife skills, and Wang Qi's knife skills were passed on from Tian Boguang. Although he is not as treacherous and changeable as Tian Boguang, he is more flexible and agile than Tian Boguang, especially his riding skills and knife skills are almost perfectly combined. With the momentum of the galloping horse, where it passed, the building rolled and fell, like a dead leaf swept by the autumn wind!
But he rushed too fast, and after cutting down six or seven Jiantu, he saw that when he was in front of Fa Tan, he was immediately besieged by a group of Jianlu.
In fact, this group of Jianjun didn't want to fight anymore, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the other side did not panic when attacked, but their own side suffered heavy losses, and no one wanted to fight this kind of battle. But the horses on both sides of the hedge, no matter who can quickly close the foot, and experienced people know that at this time, stopping the foot means death, and can only rush through the opponent faster and penetrate the enemy formation to talk about turning the horse's head.
And Wang Qinian, who broke away from the headquarters, became their breakthrough.
Wang Qinian is also wearing heavy armor, he is no longer the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy he was at the beginning, but a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, his strength is not small, but in the face of repeated attacks from six or seven enemies, he can dodge the first two of them is not bad, and then he was hit by a wolf mill, although he tried his best to dodge, but he was still knocked off the horse.
Fortunately, he was nimble, holding his head on the ground and rolling away from under the belly of the enemy's horse, and the Jianyu who shot him down had already rushed over, but the bend behind him was not so easy to kill him, so he could only drive the horse to step on him, but he rolled away continuously.
"Grandma's ......"
His mouth was swollen, he cursed indistinctly, and when he got up from the ground, he saw a scene that made him extremely envious.
Qi Niu held a lance in each hand, without any dodge, and all the Jianyu who was rushed in front of him was picked up in an instant! In this way, he was like entering a no-man's land, and went directly to Fa Tan.
"Ming Dog!" Seeing Qi Niu so brave, Fa Tan's whole body trembled, but it was not fear, but excitement!
This person must be the general of the new army, kill him, the tide of the battle will be reversed, even if he escapes, he can also explain to Prince Rui!
He waved his long knife and rushed towards Qi Niu.
Then he felt as if he had been struck by a bison, and he flew up, but not far, because something seemed to be holding him in his chest. He looked down and saw the steel lance that had penetrated his chest and pierced through his armor.
Qi Niu's divine power made the tip of the lance he used was specially made by Xinxiang, not to mention that the armor made by Jianyu himself was the tiger guard armor that the Ming officers and soldiers bought from Yu Guozhen for sale, and it couldn't stop him from even hitting people and horses with all his might!
When Fa Tan was provoked, on the far mountain, Dolgon sighed, this position, can be seen in great detail. Fa Tan died, he didn't feel heartache at all, anyway, he didn't want to keep any of the generals of the Red Banner, and the dead Niu Lu Zhangjing could just install one of his people, but the bravery of the Xinxiang Dragon Cavalry Battalion made him have to rethink his tactics.
"Where is Yu Guozhen's headquarters?" He asked himself, "Will he think he ambushed him in Wolong Valley?" ”
