Chapter 199: Zheng Miao's Defeat
The battlefield was already chaotic, and although there were not many war elephants killed, the shock to the war elephants was huge. +.The surviving war elephants were about to go crazy, and the rumbling cannons and fires caused the war elephants to stop obeying their commands and fly backwards.
However, at this time, the infantry that followed the war elephant attack was attacked, and more than 7,000 cavalry led by Li 12 and Luo Hu came back again, and they killed Zheng Miao's infantry. A burst of sword light and blood shadow passed, and immediately killed Zheng Miao's infantry in a big mess, and fled in the wilderness.
Seeing the defeat of the infantry, Li Twelve turned around, and the crazy elephant was rumbling towards this side, and Li Twelve's heart was also beating a drum, but Li Guo ordered him to intercept the elephant, and Li Twelve had to resist it.
Li Twelve waved his hand, and the cavalrymen each took out an eyepatch and blindfolded the eyes of the war horse. This is called the ignorant being fearless, out of sight and out of mind! Originally, the war horse looked at the elephant trembling, and immediately straightened his body after his eyes were blindfolded, who he loved, and the war horse was not afraid at all.
Li XII ordered the flag officer, "Shoot!" ”
First, there was a burst of three-eyed ping-pong shots, then a burst of rockets flying in the hands of the boring palladium, and then a burst of supplementary shots from the birds, which stunned the elephants that were galloping. Unable to walk in front of or back, the elephant herd ran like headless flies in a mess on both sides.
The elephant soldiers who control the war elephants on the war elephants have completely lost control of the elephants.
Seeing such a situation, Zheng Mian was very anxious and scared, because he was also intercepted with the war elephant.
Zheng Mo didn't sit on the war elephant, he rode on a horse. There were more than 200 guards around him, and they were the only cavalry of Zheng Miao. These horses have become accustomed to the look and smell of elephants, so. The horses did not panic at the elephants, but the horses were thrown out of order at the sound of gunfire.
Zheng Mo originally led the infantry to fight forward, but because the horse ran fast and rushed fiercely, he was also stopped by Li Twelve on the battlefield in front.
Lee saw this horse team too early, so. While ordering the rest of the soldiers to be responsible for sweeping away the war elephants that were running wildly, he led hundreds of cavalry in the rear team to chase after Zheng Miao.
Zheng Mo is now running away. He regarded it as an invincible war elephant, and after just a while, he had already been defeated, and the shock in Zheng Miao's heart can be imagined. Zheng Miao's purpose now is to run. Run back to the city.
Thereupon. Li Guo chased behind, and Zheng Mi ran in front.
Li 12 and Luo Hu with 7,000 cavalry were chasing and intercepting the elephants, seeing Li Guo's actions, Li 12 ordered Luo Hu, "Little Huzi, quickly bring hundreds of people to block the cavalry in the back, and the tiger master is driving them behind!" ”
Li Twelve didn't dare to personally lead the troops to chase, and the last time he left the team to kill Zheng Yu, Li Guo praised him for his bravery in person. reprimanded him fiercely behind his back, which means that you are a leading general. How can you leave the team behind! Therefore, Li XII ordered Luo Hu to go to support.
Zheng Milling galloped wildly, he had already seen Li Guo chasing behind, and also noticed that Luo Hu was blocking the people and horses from the side, Zheng Milling beat the horse under him fiercely, and the horse ran like a fly.
To be honest, there are no good horses in the south and in the tropics. The best horse in the world is still the Mongolian horse, the Mongolian horse is not fast at the beginning, but the endurance is long-lasting, and the more you run, the more energetic you are. But Zheng Mo rode an Arabian horse, which was running fast at the beginning, although it lacked stamina.
Therefore, Li Guo and Luo Hu took people to bang their guns and killed many of Zheng Miao's guards, but Zheng Mi ran back to South Taiyuan City.
Luo Hu was determined to be brave in front of Li Guo, and led people to chase him to the gate of South Taiyuan City, but the bow and arrow sounded in the city, Li Guo was careful that Luo Hu was missing, and quickly called Luo Hu back.
Turning around, Li Guo's infantry team of more than 10,000 rushed over, and Li Guo ordered them to defend in place in case they sent troops to rescue the war elephants in the city of Nantaiyuan.
At this time, those war elephants had been surrounded, and they were firing guns and cannons, and lighting fires and gongs, which frightened those elephants into running in circles.
Some war elephants were very close to Li Guo's soldiers, and the soldiers of the firearms team would beat the elephants to death, Li Guo liked elephants very much, but he did not want his soldiers to be injured.
The whole battle didn't last long, but it took a lot of effort to round up the elephants. I've been watching the elephant run for most of the day, and I'm tired anymore. The generals in Li Guo's troops shouted loudly, of course, at the soldiers on the elephant.
"Surrender quickly, those who surrender will not be killed, and those who lead elephants to surrender will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver!"
The soldiers on the elephant had long been frightened, not only because the elephant was going crazy, but also because of Li Guo's guns. Firearms are a rarity here for them, and they have seen such firepower in Li Guo's team! As soon as they heard that the surrender had begun, the elephant soldiers hurriedly appeased the elephants, and slowly one by one the elephants surrendered according to the designated place, and there were more than fifty in total.
There are still about 30 war elephants alive in the encirclement, and the soldiers on the war elephants are not unwilling to surrender, but the war elephants are still running around in a frenzy, and they can't control it.
Li Guo and the others were impatient, and with a wave of his hand, the guns and guns fired at the elephants in the encirclement, only to hear a long wailing sound, and more than 30 elephants were beaten to the point that they were covered in blood and turned into a sieve. The elephant soldiers who escaped by luck wanted to surrender, and Li Guo was killed no matter how much he cared about them.
At the head of the city, watching Li Guo round up the elephants, Zheng Mi also ordered people to go to the rescue, but the 10,000 soldiers of Li Guo who blocked the city gate were extremely fierce, first the 5,000 firearms team fired a salvo, and then the 5,000 soldiers of the killer team slashed and slashed, Zheng Miao's men rushed over, and were almost killed by the soldiers of the killer team into the city.
Zheng Mo hurriedly ordered people to close the city gate, not daring to fight! Zheng Mi understood now, no wonder Zheng Yu's 70,000 troops were wiped out, this Ming army was too powerful.
Zheng Mo had no choice but to stand at the head of the city, watching the elephants either killed or captured, and felt uncomfortable.
One of his generals persuaded untimely, "General Zheng, no, let's withdraw our troops!" ”
Zheng Mill was originally sad, but when he heard the general's words, he was immediately furious, and pulled out a knife to cut that person, Zheng Mill said angrily, "If you want me to escape, don't even think about it!" Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, the walls of this South Taiyuan are strong, can they fly into the city! Come on, gather all the young people in South Taiyuan City, organize them into the troops, and take turns to defend the city! ”
Another general had the courage to ask Zheng Miao, "General Zheng, what if they besiege the city?" ”
Zheng Mo said confidently, "Don't be afraid, I have already sent someone to ask Lord Zheng for help." In addition, the logistical supplies of these Ming troops must be insufficient, as long as we can hold out for a while, they will naturally retreat! ”
Zheng Miao's idea is very good, but Li Guo's logistics supply is not a problem.
Mo Zhengkuan's Mo Dynasty has already made up his mind to use the strength of the entire Mo Dynasty to assist Li Guo in winning the battle! Mo Zhengkuan has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, and he still wants to be the king of the entire Annan region! (To be continued......)
