*******************************************************************

After a period of chaos, the Qing army once again mounted their horses and fled, losing a few horses, suffering a few casualties, and their morale was even more depressed. Not only that, but the Qing soldiers in front had to keep their eyes open and pay attention to the stumbling ropes, and their speed involuntarily slowed down.

The road was broken, but when the Qing army came, it was hastily paved, and Daniel Zhang led his troops to retreat and repaired it along the way, and the problem of galloping horses was not very big.

The rain hit the face, the body, and even the eyes. Ma Bao closed one eye and wiped it with his hand, then closed the other one and wiped it.

Although there were still many people in the Qing army, under the shock of the bombardment cannon and the escape of the main general, they had completely collapsed mentally. The Qing soldiers who fled along the main road lost their awareness of the inevitability of being soldiers, and many of them even threw away their weapons in their hands, and their armor became a burden long ago and was ruthlessly abandoned.

For the pursuit of the company, the Qing soldiers did not have the courage to turn back and fight, and ran and screamed in panic, or knelt down and kowtowed to beg, or burrowed into the jungle by the roadside, or ran slowly and were killed by the cavalry of the Ming army with knives and guns, and became a dead body that fell in the muddy water and was ignored.

The cavalry led by Ma Baozhong was not in a hurry to kill the fleeing Qing soldiers, and these deserters who were isolated by the cavalry were not only killed, but also captured, and did not have to waste their precious time at all. After hurriedly grabbing two Qing soldiers and asking the whereabouts of the Qing line Guoan, the iron cavalry galloped and chased after him.

What a feeling of pleasure that I haven't felt in a long time! Ma Bao sighed in his heart that once upon a time, he also led the remnants of the army into the mountains and forests to escape from the Qing army. Unexpectedly, feng shui took turns, and the time for role change was so fast, which was something he had never dreamed of before.

Traveling more than 60 miles a day, pulling out three camps in a row. If you don't move, it's enough, and if you move, it's as sharp as destroying it. After successive victories, the morale of the Ming army was unusually high, and most of the negative effects of Yongli's entry into Burma and the abandonment of the Son of Heaven had been swept away.

This is all the work of His Royal Highness Min! God bestows heaven with grace, and it should be true. Seeing His Royal Highness's expression, he was quite disdainful of the Qing army's Yin Γ— Gate Array, no magic weapons, no incense candles, just a deep stroke of the sword, it was easy to break the formation, and the power of the heavenly cannon was even more powerful than before. Amazing, amazing!

Ma Bao let out a long breath of turbidity, feeling very fortunate for his original choice, and felt that it was a great opportunity in life to be able to go to Annan with Zhu Yongxingdong, and it was easy to make contributions, just like now.

Most of the 3,000 elite cavalry are leather armor and chain mail, with only one day's dry food, and more than 1,000 horses can be rotated.

However, the hundreds of horsemen of Line Guoan have not lost their armor and fled lightly. First, the line Guoan felt that although the Qing soldiers in the camp were defeated, there were really a lot of people, and the Ming army would have to delay for a long time if they wanted to clean it up; secondly, he believed that the Ming army was not only marching and hurrying, but also attacking the city, and it was almost exhausted and could not be pursued; The third is the problem of his face, before he reaches the end of the mountain, he is embarrassed like a lost dog, which is really not what he wants.

The commander did not give orders, and the guards and cavalry who followed him certainly did not dare to make their own decisions, so as not to touch the bad head of the line Guoan, who was already in a bad mood after the defeat.

Even so, the escape was not a smooth ride. Stumbling horses, shuttles, crossbow arrows, although each attack could not kill and injure too many Qing soldiers, but it constantly slowed down their speed and narrowed the distance with the Ming army's pursuers.

Two dead horses lay on the ground, and the corpses of abandoned Qing soldiers, shot by pike darts, lying miserably on their backs in the muddy water, dead fish-like eyes staring at the rainy sky.

"The enemy is exhausted, and he has been harassed and attacked, and this is a good opportunity for my generation to kill the enemy and make contributions." Ma Bao took advantage of the opportunity to stop and observe, changed another war horse, and after getting on the horse, he shouted loudly: "Sons, continue to chase, and kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"There is no piece of armor left." The cavalry of the Ming army also had many horses replaced, and at this time they shouted in harmony, started again, and embarked on the road of pursuit.

……………

Stretched, stretched, two tripping ropes suddenly popped out in the muddy water, and three Qing soldiers fell, causing the Qing soldiers' ranks to stop again.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...... In the jungle on the side of the road, pikes, throwing guns, and crossbow arrows flew out suddenly, causing a screaming horse neighing.

This is a gathering of three small teams of strong men and horses of the Mengshan Ke tribe, more than 30 people, led by the owner of the village, Luo Bu, intercepting and killing scouts and horses, a small number of Qing soldiers, the most active.

"Kill, search and kill the enemy!" Line Guoan jumped off his horse, roared and waved his knife.

He has endured it for too long, and these attackers scattered in the grass and woods have been attacking again and again, like nasty mosquitoes, buzzing around you, and rushing up to bite you from time to time. This is simply adding fuel to the already accumulated regret of the online national security, how can it not make him angry.

Throwing spears, broadswords, hand axes...... The Qing soldiers first attacked the jungle grass and trees indiscriminately, and then used knives and guns to pull out the branches and weeds, and searched deeply.

Line Guoan waited a little on the road under the protection of the guards, and also took a break by the way. Most of them also wore combat armor, which undoubtedly added to the burden on the horses. Some of the horses were foaming at the foam, apparently physically exerting a lot.

"Your Excellency." The captain of the guard suddenly became nervous, opened his ears to listen carefully, and wondered: "Listen, is this the sound of horses' hooves, orβ€”"

Xian Guoan frowned, carefully distinguishing from the rustling sound of rain hitting leaves and grass, and his face gradually became stunned. That's right, it's the sound of horses' hooves, and the direction is behind you, it's the pursuers.

"Collect the troops, retreat." Xian Guoan hurriedly shouted, grabbed the reins and stepped onto the horse.

"Collect the troops, retreat, the enemy is catching up." Anxious shouts rang out one after another in the ranks, and before the Qing soldiers in the grass and woods could withdraw, the ranks had already begun to gallop forward.

By the time the Qing soldiers who were searching for the enemy in the jungle hurriedly withdrew, the brigade had already left some distance, and only the backs of the cavalry behind could be seen. These guys shouted and cursed, and hurriedly got on their horses to chase after them. There were a few Qing soldiers who couldn't find the horses, and they didn't know whether the horses ran away with the brigade or were taken away by some immoral and selfish guys. There are few horses and many people, and you are fighting for me, and there is chaos again.

The rapid sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, which had completely drowned out the noise in the rain, was heard so vividly that I don't know how many pursuers were coming.

The Qing soldiers fled in panic, and only a few unlucky people who were knocked over were left on the road. Hearing the thunderous sound of hooves, these unfortunate bastards got up in pain and howled into the jungle.

In a few moments, the long cavalry of the Ming army chased after them like a long dragon, ignoring the dead horses and corpses on the road, and rumbling past.
