Section 186 Under the city of Haizhou
    The excitement didn't last long, and after seeing Haizhou City, I soon saw the people under the city.
    At this time, a lot of people gathered at the city gate, I don't know who they were, so Yang Chao was cautious and asked all the soldiers to put on armor immediately.
      Continue north along the canal at this time, this section of the Salt River is also called the West Salt River because it is in the west of Haizhou City, outside the West Gate of Haizhou, there are quite a large wharf and warehouse area on the side of the Salt River, and there are people everywhere here at this time.
      Getting closer and closer to the dock, everyone finally saw clearly that the people on the dock were not Dongyu.
    Yang Chao's heart was relieved, why was Dongyu not here.
     Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and at the same time the neighing of war horses from far and near, from the northwest corner of Haizhou City, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared.
    And there was a group of people running in front of the cavalry.
     Dongyu.
    The East captives are expelling civilians.
    Dongyu is expelling civilians to Haizhou City.
    "Driving people to attack the city!" ”
    Yang Chao immediately thought of these words.
    No wonder there are so many people on the dock, it turned out to be Dongyu who came here, but why didn't these people run.
    Yang Chao's eyes searched carefully, and at the same time ordered the ship to stop, and sure enough, more than a dozen Dongyu cavalry hidden in the warehouse suddenly came out from behind the building, and when they were about fifty steps away from the fleet, they began to shoot arrows.
    Suddenly there was a scream.
    With the power of war horses, the cavalry of the captives is still very powerful.
    Yang Chao also saw the appearance of the captives clearly at this time, not wearing helmets, not wearing armor, but wearing sheepskin clothes, looking like a herdsman, these are obviously not the elite soldiers of the Eastern Captives, but rangers, and they should belong to the Wujia Yu Ding in the Eight Banners.
    One of them impressed Yang Chao very much, although it was a different race and a Han with very different faces. The forehead is very broad, the bridge of the nose is flat, but it is still distinguishable that it is a child.
    But this child is very positive. He rushed to the first and threw his bow and arrows. Someone who tried to shoot himself.
    Yang Chao was already crouching behind the side of the boat, and the boat was parked in the river at this time, only ten steps away from the dock on the riverbank, almost handing over to the captives.
     Fortunately, this is the river soldier on the boat, otherwise he was suddenly attacked by the other party, and under the cavalry charge, Yang Chao, these inexperienced soldiers, I am afraid that they can only be slaughtered in vain.
      hid in the boat at this time. It is equivalent to having a low city to protect itself.
    Yang Chao quickly calmed down and organized his own soldiers to start a counterattack.
     At the same time, let the herald give the order: "Each ship fights its own battle!" ”
    The herald was trained by Lao Jin and can only play flags at present, so it can be used during the day, but it is not easy to use at night.
    Now such heralds have only trained less than ten people, Yang Chao is scattered, and there can be one under each flag, at least one from each of these ships.
    The herald danced a yellow flag in his hand to convey Yang Chao's orders to the other armies.
    Yang Chao concentrated on commanding the battle.
    "With a bird, remember to play together. Is it all loaded? ”
    A hundred bird-bearers were also separated, and there were ten people on each ship.
    Yang Chao's ten bird guns on the ship were slowly loaded, and the fast ones were already loaded. The slow ones are still poking through the strips.
    At this time, Yang Chao suddenly heard a gunshot, raised his head and saw that it was sent by a certain warship behind, and he couldn't tell which ship it was, but this gunshot obviously disrupted Yang Chao's plan.
      couldn't help but glance up at the captive, and found that the captives actually went towards the ship that had just shot, obviously intending to shoot the first bird and kill those who dared to resist first.
    And so that their side is exposed, this is an opportunity.
    Yang Chao shouted: "Loaded, immediately salvo." Aim for the warhorse! ”
    Ancient poems have a saying that the man shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first.
    Qi Dashuai also said: "Shoot people first." The horse servant thief defeats himself", the reason why Qi Dashuai said this. I thought that when I found that the soldiers were fighting with the Mongolian cavalry, some of them were reluctant to kill the horses, and there were more than ten or twenty taels of war horses in the border areas, and the capture of a horse was a huge amount of property, so the soldiers were quite reluctant.
    As a result, many of them escaped and even led to the soldiers themselves being killed.
    Qi Jiguang said, "In the past, it was difficult to win because I loved his horse and wanted to survive." You see that the head of the thief and the horse is three feet, and the head of the man is five feet high, and my infantry rushes at the head of the horse, and there is still a horse's head and the horse's front feet apart, and the thief's knife is three feet, how can it come to me? If you kill a thief and defeat it, the head will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, armor and staff, that one is not cheap, why do you need a horse, besides, a thief has several horses, and the one I want to kill, the thief rides a horse, and the general trend is defeated, and the horse, which is not yours, if you do not cut the thief horse first, and the one who leads the thief horse will be beheaded. 1000, the total is the same sin. Cut the horses, and after the battle, they cooked as a substitute meal before the camp. The survival of good horses, all with the charge, at the rate of ten, only one horse and the collector, the rest are scattered. ”
    Yang Chao is actually very greedy for those horses, they are all good war horses outside the Guan, and they can't buy them themselves, but now these Dongyu boys in front of him are riding one by one.
    But I have learned from the experience of Qi Dashuai, and at the same time, I also feel that the goal of the war horse is larger, and it is easier to hit the horse.
    Any war, no matter how expensive, can be won as long as it can be won, because victory is actually the lowest cost.
    Yang Chao gave an order, five of the ten spearmen stood up and immediately aimed, now the captives did not face them, and they did not have a sense of urgency, so they could aim calmly, but the first time they faced the enemy's shooting, it still made the bird hand have a feeling of stagnation, and the chest was extremely stuffy, and before waiting for the order, one person put the gun, and then the others put the gun.
    Yang Chao shouted: "Liu Yong, without an order, he released it without authorization, and he demerit it once!" ”
    After the instinctive anger was drunk, Yang Chao had time to see the results, only to see a team of more than a dozen captives Pegasus had arrived in front of a ship, but one of the captives had fallen behind, his horse was playing in circles, and finally fell to the ground.
    The captive soldier was not injured, and jumped off his horse with agility, but immediately after dismounting, he drew his sword and roared loudly, looking at the ship and shouting twice, as if wondering who had killed his horse.
    Yang Chao saw that this kid was the active child just now.
    "Keep loading! ”
    Yang Chao shouted.
    Bird's Gun continues to reload.
    At this time, the cavalry in the northwest corner of the city wall finally drove a group of civilians over.
     had already arrived at the west gate of Haizhou, but without the slightest intention of stopping, he actually drove the people towards Yang Chao's fleet. (To be continued)
