Chapter Eighty-Seven: Robbery and Robbery
Yue Tuo, who fled back to the camp, surprised Hauge, and only a few dozen of the six hundred cavalry returned, and Yue Tuo was seriously wounded.
Next, Yue Tuo's words made Haoge even more confused: "Quickly prepare to meet the enemy, and a thousand infantry of the Ming people chased after him." ”
A thousand infantry, what is so terrible about a thousand infantry, when will the Ming infantry be able to run after the cavalry of Houjin.
He did not dare to slack off, and immediately gathered the remaining four hundred cavalry, except for a small number of prisoners to guard them.
Yue Tuo found the flaws of the Ming people when he fled for his life, the infantry of the Ming people walked out of the car formation, and pursued them in a line with guns, the Ming people were musketeers, there was no spearmen, and the infantry had no support for the formation in the flat ground and was not the opponent of the cavalry at all, but it was a pity that his men were killed and wounded too much by the Ming people, and there was no power to counterattack, otherwise this was an excellent opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
Yue Tuo had no choice but to run towards Hauge's camp.
The commander of the Ming people may have been carried away by the victory just now, and even let the foot soldiers pursue outside the Houjin camp, the terrible cart followed, and he must attack immediately, if the Ming people formed a chariot formation outside the camp, the Jin army would be in trouble again.
Hauge listened to Yue Tuo's story and agreed with Yue Tuo's idea, and attacked when the Ming people's foothold was not stable, the Ming people's rejection of horses could not stand up, they could not form a car formation, and the artillery could not be erected, and the strength of the Ming people was mostly gone, and the musketeers without spears could not deal with the impact of the cavalry.
Hauge led the troops out of the camp, and sure enough, he caught the Ming people by surprise, the Ming people had just arrived, and the horses had not had time to stand up, and the convoy was still behind the foot soldiers. Seeing Hauge's cavalry, the foot soldiers hurriedly retreated to the back of the cart. The cart also failed to form a car formation just simply turned the car sideways, two groups together to form a platform, there is still a gap between the car and the car, the cavalry is rushing to the two wings to guard, but the Ming people choose to stay in the place is also very tricky, the team is stuck in the middle of the road, the mountains and ravines on both sides form a natural barrier, the cavalry can not be used at all, plus the cavalry guard, it is impossible to attack from the two wings or go around the back of the Ming people, Houjin's cavalry only has a frontal impact on a road.
However, this is a good time to attack, and Akito must not be allowed to fill the hole.
Hauge keenly spotted the fighter, and the four hundred knights bravely rushed towards the Ming people at the sound of the order.
The Fran machine on the Ming man's car fired shotguns, causing heavy losses to Houjin's soldiers, but this was all temporary, and it would not be long before the cavalry rushed to the front of the Ming army.
The team rushed within range of the bow and arrow, the gunfire of the security guards rang out, and the flying lead bullets failed to stop the onslaught of the Houjin warriors, and they were about to rush in front of the cart.
At this time, the security forces threw a large number of flasks on fire from the car, forming a wall of fire in front of the car. The Houjin people and horses that rushed in front suddenly turned into torches, and the horses that followed stepped on the fire and the horses' hooves burned. The horses were frightened and began to run around, and the whole procession was thrown into disarray. The cavalry charging in the rear was forced to slow down. At this point, the slowdown is fatal, and one more moment of delay means that more Houjin cavalry will be knocked off their horses by bullets.
The fate of the soldiers who rushed through the wall of fire was even more miserable, as they rushed to the front of the cart a series of explosions rang out, and the flying iron sand swept everything in front of the cart. The security forces installed a large number of "this enemy-facing" mines on the outside of the carts.
When the cavalry approached, someone pulled a mine and cleared everything in front of the car.
The charge and defense reached a balance point, and Houjin's cavalry continued to charge forward, and then fell not far from the chariot formation, but could not take a single step.
In the past, the Ming army had to pay the price of hundreds of people to kill a Houjin cavalry, but now the enemy on the opposite side was shrouded in smoke rising from gunpowder, and they could not see their casualties at all.
Hauge looked at the battlefield and hesitated in his heart, whenever a warrior approached the car formation, he was excited in his heart, and kept refueling the warriors, close, close, already close, the brave knight still fell in front of the car formation.
Houjin's cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but Hauge did not dare to give the order to retreat, and if he withdrew at this time, the soldiers who had died earlier would die in vain.
Just when Hauge hesitated, the Houjin soldiers had already lost more than half of them, and the Houjin soldiers, who were invincible in the face of death, were finally crushed by great fear.
There were not only killings on the battlefield, but also being killed, and the Houjin soldiers who had previously slaughtered the Ming army frantically did not expect that they would also be slaughtered one day.
The remaining soldiers turned around and fled, fleeing the range of the musket artillery was their only belief, and the Ming people, who were slaughtered like lambs, have now become terrifying killing gods, and the myth of Houjin's invincibility has come to an end.
Under the coercion of the defeated soldiers, Hauge had to flee to the camp, and the security army pursued mercilessly behind, and Hauge fled back to the camp with only one hundred and ten horsemen.
The cavalry of the security army chased them outside the camp before they reined in the reins, and the car formation behind them also moved forward and stopped not far from the camp.
When the security army has a large number of artillery, the camp cannot hold anything.
Hauge joined Yue Tuo's men and horses, abandoned the camp baggage, and fled in the direction of Luanzhou with the remaining cavalry.
The cavalry of the security army pursued and killed in the rear, and the Houjin cavalry, which was running slowly under the sound of muskets, fell off their horses one by one, and the two Baylors escaped with only a few dozen horsemen, and the property and 3,000 young men and women in the camp who were ready to be transported back to Shenyang were thrown to the security army, and even the accompanying officials could not escape.
The security army began to clean up the battlefield, the rescued Han people hid aside and looked at the security army blankly, I couldn't believe that this was the real army of the Ming Dynasty, the previous Houjin people were possessed by fierce gods, and the Ming people were killed at will, but they became very fragile in front of the security army, hundreds of Houjin people were killed in an instant, and the Baylor of Houjin fled in a hurry, thinking that this life was hopeless, but they were rescued by the security army, and knelt on the ground one by one to thank the security army for saving their lives.
Zhang Chu didn't have time to care about them, he was riding on a horse, and he was busy wiping the smoke on his face with a cloth, the smoke of this black gunpowder was too big, and Zhang Chu's little face that he thought was white was black, how could he see people, this was too damaging to his image. The original plan to appear as a big hero after saving people has come to naught. If only there was smokeless gunpowder.
A soldier of the security army came and asked: "Report to the commander, the Tatars have been beaten away, what will happen to the captured Tatars?" ”
"Interrogate them, and kill them all." Zhang Chu calmly ordered.
"What to do with the head." The soldier must have been from the border army and thought of cutting off people's heads.
The security forces do not count the merits of the head and have always been not interested in the head.
The border soldiers, on the other hand, attached great importance to the Tatar head, which was an important basis for receiving rewards and promotions.
"Cut off all the heads, find a car and put them on." Zhang Chu has a new idea of human heads, he can also give them away if he doesn't want to, the Tatar head is a good gift at the end of this war, otherwise he will bring back a few to play with Governor Yang Heyang, maybe he can be the governor for a few more days.
"Yes," the fighter took the order and carried it out.
Zhang Chu didn't have much time to delay, and Yue Tuo would definitely send troops and horses back to retaliate if he fled back to Luanzhou.
The rescued young men and women were ordered to load the supplies of the Houjin camp onto the car and immediately retreat in the direction of Changli.
Zhang Chu led the team to prepare to meet the Houjin army from Luanzhou.
