Chapter 425: If you have a horse, you don't ride
Ajiga gave the order to attack the village, and the golden cavalry naturally formed a formation, allowing the horses to run in small steps, and then gradually accelerated, and when they reached the village, the horses would run as fast as they could, and then rushed into the village, so that the enemy had no chance to resist.

There was no need to be so cautious in dealing with such an unguarded village, but Dolgon told Aggiga to be careful, and Ajiga did not dare to disobey orders.
The Houjin people approached the entrance of the village, and suddenly more than 100 people appeared in a ditch at the head of the village, which was considered by Aji to be a canal, and they held muskets and fought indiscriminately at the Houjin cavalry who rushed over, and immediately more than a dozen Houjin soldiers fell off their horses.
Aggie was taken aback, there were people resisting and muskets in such a village, now was not the time to think too much, if the speed slowed down, more people would die.
"Rush over and kill them all." Aggie shouted loudly and took the lead in rushing forward.
The people in the trench were a little panicked when they saw the Houjin cavalry rushing over. It was only after the loud shouts of the leader that they stabilized again, and the people behind came up and lay on the edge of the ditch and fired a platoon of guns, and they used an irregular three-stage shooting. More than a dozen of the Houjin people were knocked off the horse, which made Aji a little vague, and dozens of people were killed before they entered the village, which was more dead than in a war with the Ming army.
You can't let the Akito take advantage of it like this. It must be good to rush over and catch these cunning Han people.
After two more rounds of gunfire, the Houjin cavalry was not far from the trench, and the Han people in the trench were so frightened that they retracted their heads from the side of the ditch.
"Rush, kill them all." The casualties of the accomplices did not frighten the Houjin cavalry, but they became more ferocious, drawing their sabers and rushing straight towards the trench.
The Han people, who were still shooting just now, really panicked this time, and they all ran along the trench towards the village.
"It's not that easy to run." The murderous nature of the Houjin people, they chased after the fleeing Han people regardless of the surrounding situation.
Fierce gunfire rang out again, and the Houjin cavalry, who were concentrating on the pursuit, received a head-on blow. The Houjin people were a little confused all of a sudden, weren't the Han people running away, how could there still be people shooting at the Houjin people. Immediately after another round of gunfire rang out, it became clear to the Jin that the shooting came from a house on the edge of the village.
Tongues of fire were constantly spewing out from the houses on the edge of the village, and the smoke from the shooting was rising.
On the roofs of the houses, there were people who were constantly firing with muskets. There were also many perforations in the walls of the house, from which someone was firing outward. What's worse is that in the village, which should be wide, there is a wall built horizontally in the middle of the street. Thinking that entering the village was only to go around the wall, the horse could not rush to speed. If someone on the roofs on both sides attacked with muskets at this time, the Houjin people would definitely suffer heavy losses.
"Turn! Shoot the arrows! "Agga issued the order of the Warrior of the Heart in time.
Later, the Jin people turned around outside the village and ran past the side of the houses owned by the defenders. As he ran, the Houjin soldiers took off their riding bows from the saddle and shot their arrows accurately on the roof, and immediately there was a scream from the roof, and the people came down from the roof. But the musketeers in the house were still shooting.
It was not cost-effective for cavalry to attack fortified houses. Therefore, Agga did not let the Houjin cavalry attack the village again, but turned to the outside of the village and regrouped outside the range of the enemy's muskets.
In a short period of time, a single charge caused the Houjin people to lose dozens of people. Many shouted and rushed into the village to avenge their dead brother. Ajiga knew that this village was not so entered.
When I approached the entrance of the village just now, I glanced at the village from outside the village and found that the streets in the village were not straight and unobstructed, so I reported for repair in time. It is not normal to build a wall in the middle of the street, and it is possible that the Han people have set up other ambushes in the village. If the horses could not run when they rushed into the village and were stopped by the obstacles in the streets, and if there were people on the roof of the houses who attacked them with muskets, then the losses of the Jin people would be great.
Do you just retreat, or find out what weaknesses this village has, and rush in desperately to avenge the dead brother.
Just before Ajiga could think about it, the soldier who was in charge of observing behind ran over and reported: "My lord, a puff of smoke and dust has risen from the road in the distance, and it seems that a group of cavalry has run over, and there are quite a few of them. ”
"All lined up." Ajiga hurriedly gave the order to assemble, so that the Houjin cavalry sat down and prepared, anyway, the terrain here is open, and the battle or retreat can be launched at any time.
The enemy's cavalry approached, and judging by the smoke and dust raised, this force numbered at least two or three thousand men. The Ming army in Lushun is indeed very strong, and it can dispatch thousands of cavalry at will. When Agga saw that there were more enemies than he had and were about to withdraw with his own troops, the Ming army slowed down. In the end, they stopped far away, they should have seen the Houjin cavalry assembled at the entrance of the village.
The Ming army was scared. Ajiga was ecstatic in his heart. It seems that the Ming army is still always weak and does not dare to fight in the field with the Houjin cavalry. If you rush over when the Ming army is timid, you will definitely be able to kill this timid Ming army.
Just as Ajiga was about to order the Houjin people to attack, the Ming army did another thing that the Houjin people couldn't understand. The Ming army unexpectedly dismounted and formed an infantry formation in front of the formation, and walked in line in the direction where the Houjin people were. There are horses and no horses, but they have to use infantry against the powerful cavalry of Houjin. Is this Ming army general out of his brain?
How could Aji let go of such a great opportunity, he immediately ordered the Houjin cavalry to launch an attack on the Ming army. When the Ming army saw this, the Jin cavalry rushed over, stopped advancing, and lined up more closely, and it seemed that they were going to bear the impact of the cavalry. As the distance shortened, the Jin people could see that the Ming army was all holding muskets, and there were no long contradictory cards, which made him even more relieved.
Whether the Houjin people rushed into the phalanx of the Ming army or threw them with bows and arrows outside, they could collapse the phalanx of the Ming army.
As the distance shortened, the neat gunfire of the Ming army rang out. This bullet was much denser than the one fired from the village just now.
Later, the golden cavalry was called hitting the muzzle of the gun. The people who ran in front turned on their backs, killing and wounding dozens of people. There was little interval between the first round and the second and third rounds of gunfire. After three rounds, the Golden Cavalry had lost hundreds of dead.
The Houjin people thought that the Ming army's three-plate axe had run out, so they accelerated the speed of the charge, thinking that the Ming army would rush into the Ming army's array before they could react. The Ming army paused for a short time after the third round of firing, and the soldiers in the first row reloaded their ammunition and walked back to the front of the line. The chilling sound of muskets rang out again. Moreover, after that, the three rows of men and horses of the Ming army fired alternately, and the Houjin cavalry was prevented from advancing in front of the formation.
"Retreat! Fall back! Seeing that he couldn't let everyone die in vain, Ajiga immediately gave the order to retreat. In this open area, the Houjin cavalry could quickly retreat, or turn to the flank of the Ming army to attack, and the two-legged men of the Ming army could not outrun the four-legged horses of the Houjin people. Although it couldn't defeat this Ming army, this Ming army also had no way to take the retreating Houjin cavalry. At this time, Ajiga's thoughts were in his heart. But this time, Agga was wrong again. (To be continued.) )
