Gui Yingcha looked back as he ran, he was a little worried about Zhang Chu, the narrowed road slowed down the horse, and the pursuers got closer. Fortunately, Zhang Chu's people were not chaotic, and they also kept the formation when they retreated, and the speed was indeed not very fast, and the last few people in the team actually got off their horses on the side of the road, put down some things, and saw that the golden cavalry was about to catch up before jumping on the horse and quickly catching up with their own team.

The Houjin cavalry followed the security army for a while, and saw that they were about to catch up, and they were overjoyed, chasing the enemy from behind and slashing and killing the cavalry was the safest.

Beautiful dreams are easy to wake up, when the Houjin soldiers are dreaming of being promoted to become rich, several explosions sounded, and the Houjin soldiers who ran in front were blown up and turned over on their backs, and the people and horses were covered with blood holes, and the blood kept flowing out. What's even worse is that the man and the horse were not killed at once, the wail of the wounded and the neighing of the horse's pain came far away, so frightened that the Houjin cavalry behind hurriedly reined in the horse and looked around, the thief actually arranged an ambush here, and there were cannons.

Seeing that the soldiers in front of him suddenly stopped, Hauge immediately sent someone to check on him, and he also urged his horse forward to the vicinity.

Hearing the report, Hauge observed the surrounding terrain, although the hills here are undulating, but there must not be many ambushes hidden, maybe this is just the robber lit the explosives and threw it on the side of the road, the pursuers arrived just in time to explode, looking at the robbers who were about to flee Hauge decisively ordered, by a Niu Lu Ezhen led 800 cavalry as the vanguard, in front of the pursuit, the brigade followed closely behind, encountered the enemy's ambush before the retreat and joined the brigade, if it was just an explosion not allowed to stop, rush over it will be fine.

Niu Lu Ezhen was ordered to personally lead the team to rush forward, and Haoge led the team to follow carefully behind.

Terrifying explosions sounded one after another, this time the Houjin army's brigade all members observed the tragic scene, there was nothing suspicious on the grassland except for the sparse and yellow weeds, but when the Houjin pursuers ran over, the explosion sounded immediately, the smoke rose in the grass, and the cavalry and the horses fell heavily to the ground. The Houjin soldiers were brave enough to resolutely carry out Hauge's order, and did not stop when the explosion sounded, and still rushed forward without stopping, which caused more explosions and more people and horses to be injured and fell to the ground.

The soldiers in the rear saw clearly that every explosion occurred from the feet of the cavalry, and every explosion injured men and horses. Could it be that this robber used some evil magic, otherwise how could it have exploded just when the Houjin cavalry passed by, and what was even more evil was that almost none of the people and horses who were blown up died on the spot, they were all bleeding but could not die, fear and pain made them keep rolling on the ground and wailing, which caused a huge visual impact on the soldiers behind. The huge casualties in the sight of the enemy were a huge blow to the morale of the Houjin soldiers. The pace of the charge slowed down significantly.

Hauge's approach worked. After rushing through a certain distance, there was no explosion, and the Houjin army in the lead cheered up and gathered together to speed up the pursuit, but after a while of running, the explosion sounded again, and the bravest soldiers who ran in front were all overturned to the ground.

The Houjin cavalry discovered a rule, the explosion always happened when the cavalry ran by, and whoever blew up who was in front. No one wants to die senselessly. The mind is flexible and begins to control the speed of the horse, leaving himself behind others, and there are more people with this kind of mind, and the speed of pursuit naturally slows down. After several explosions, the cavalry, as the vanguard, stopped as the robbers fled farther and farther away, and did not know where the explosion would occur in front of them.

Niu Lu was really wounded, and he was ashamed to report the situation ahead to Haoge, he did not catch up with the enemy, but lost a lot of soldiers, which is rare in recent years.

Haoge waved him to step aside, this kind of thing is really no wonder to him, Haoge has been on the battlefield for several years, and the Jurchens, the Mongols, and the Ming Dynasty have seen a lot of various enemies, and this is the first time he has encountered such an enemy. Seeing that the encirclement was about to be successful, they forced a gap and escaped, and the pursuit was blown up, although the actual loss of Houjin was not much, but it was a huge blow to morale, how did the enemy do it explode when the Houjin cavalry passed, could it be that there was really some evil magic.

This matter must not be left like this, Hauge can't afford to lose this person, and the number of the other party is really small, if they are caught, it will not be a problem to eliminate them. Although the enemy has run away, it is necessary to track it down, and immediately send out scouts to find out where the robbers have gone.

The allied soldiers ran all the way out of the road before stopping, both men and horses were tired and about to collapse, seeing that the Houjin people did not chase, many of the soldiers jumped off their horses and lay on the ground to rest, and also let the horses relax.

Gui Yingcha ran over to see Zhang Chu and discussed what to do next.

The two of them roughly estimated the strength of the enemy, and the number of cavalry should be about four or five thousand, and it was difficult to compete with the coalition army with its own strength.

For the sake of safety, it was decided that the coalition forces would temporarily move in the direction of Naturalization City. On the way, Gui Yingcha asked Zhang Chu what method he used to make the explosives explode just when the enemy passed by.

Zhang Chu did not hide it when he asked him, and asked a soldier to take a mine that "faces the enemy" and showed it to him. Gui Yingcha took the square iron box and looked at it carefully, he recognized the words on it, but he still didn't understand how it exploded, and he thought that it wouldn't ring like this while holding it, right?

Zhang Chu showed him the fuse in his hand again, and he realized that the key was that this thing was working. After two years of improvement, the mines produced by the security forces in the arsenal in Zhongyang have been improved in many places, the fuses are more sophisticated, the probability of firing has been greatly improved, and the gunpowder has also been improved, and the power has been greatly improved.

This time, the security army went deep into the grassland, due to the terrain, this kind of mine was not very useful, but in order to play a preventive role when camping, the cavalry still brought a lot. Unexpectedly, it saved everyone's lives at a critical moment.

If they retreated like this, the coalition's plan to cut off the trade routes would have failed. It is also shameless for those who are chased by the enemy to run back to their hometown. Gui Yingcha was unwilling and asked Zhang Chu: "Just go back like this, is there any way to defeat these thousands of golden cavalry?" ”

Zhang Chu was also thinking about this problem, but there was no way in his mind, so he had to say: "Now that the enemy is outnumbered, it is definitely not the enemy's opponent, even if more people are mobilized to come over and fight with the Houjin cavalry, there is no certainty of victory, my cavalry is still far behind the Houjin people in terms of riding skills and ruthlessness, and it will cause greater losses, which is not cost-effective." ”

"Is that all?" Gui Yingqia's heart was full of resentment. (To be continued.) )
