He Fei sat on a large rock with an axe and gun in hand, and behind him stood a soldier trained in intelligent monk medical skills, who was bandaging He Fei's wounds. The bullet just now bit off half of He Fei's ear. So when He Fei is bandaging now, his teeth are grinning so painfully.

However, the battle seemed to be full of twists and turns, but it didn't last long, not even half an hour. And after Song Xiang escaped, the army did something to pursue and capture.

In this battle, Hefei killed and wounded more than 30 people, while the miners left nearly 400 corpses. In fact, in the face-to-face battle, the miners' losses were not large, and most of the casualties were killed by Hefei's soldiers behind them when the miners fled. In addition, Hefei's soldiers captured more than 1,800 miners and their families.

And Shumo, who was directing the aftermath work, walked in front of He Fei after seeing that the scene was completely under control. He Fei looked at the book and ink, and felt a little impressed. He didn't expect that the somewhat timid Shumo would have the courage to launch a counter-charge with him first.

When He Fei just wanted to praise Shumo for two sentences, he didn't expect Shumo to stop in front of He Fei, patted his chest with his hand and said, "Mom! It scared the hell out of me! ”

And at this time, the cavalry of the two centurians was still walking on another mountain road. And the leader who commanded these two centuries was the general banner of the cavalry, Zug.

At the beginning of the departure, after galloping for a while, all the cavalry began to lead their horses forward under the orders of Zug, except for a few cavalrymen who were still riding horses to reconnoiter in front.

We may have a misconception that the cavalry is quite fast. In fact, in order to ensure the physical strength of the horse when going to the battlefield, the cavalry who generally cherishes the horse leads the horse forward before going to the battlefield. So the speed of the march was also only a little faster than that of the infantry.

Especially Wu Shigong's cavalry, because it is not easy to get horses, and the entire army attaches great importance to cavalry, so all Wu Shigong's cavalry simply love their war horses as if they were their own sons, and they are not willing to let their war horses spend more energy at all.

In addition, for horses, in fact, the endurance of horses is much smaller than that of people, although horses are much faster than people in short sprints, but in long distances, they can never outrun a well-trained long-distance runner. Otherwise, the ancient Greeks would not have sent a man to run a marathon to deliver the message, instead of using cavalry to deliver the message. That's because people run faster than horses when they are long distances.

Of course, this problem can also be solved. For example, in the movement of cavalry, a cavalryman has several horses to change; In the delivery of the message, the messenger changes horses at the post station. However, this approach is definitely unrealistic for Wu Shigong's cavalry now, so Wu Shigong's cavalry still uses the most primitive method to preserve the physical strength of his war horse.

But at this moment, the cavalry who were exploring the road in front hurried back and said to Zug: "My lord, there is smoke and dust on the mountain road ahead, and it is estimated that dozens of horses are coming. ”

In this poor mountainous area, there are no big horse teams at all. Since there are dozens of horses, they must be horse bandits. But Zug estimated the time, how long should it take for the forward Hefei's army to arrive in Dahuai Village? How could there be horse bandits? Could it be that these cavalry of his own have been discovered by horse bandits?

Whatever the reason, let's get on the horse and get ready for battle. So Zug immediately ordered the cavalry to mount their horses and form a cavalry battle formation of four according to the width of the mountain road. And all the cavalry were also armed with spears, and they controlled the speed of their horses and trotted along the mountain road.

Song Xiang had already run more than ten miles with the fastest horse speed with these horse bandits. The feeling of fear in his heart made Song Xiang feel that the farther away from Dahuai Village was the better.

What is a little funny is that except for the few horse bandits who were deserters with Song Xiang at that time, the other horse bandits felt a little inexplicable that Song Xiang just abandoned his stockade and ran away. In their opinion, even if they abandon the village and run away, they should go back to the mountain temple and bring out the silver in the mountain temple! But because Song Xiang was silent in front and only cared about escaping, the hearts of those horse bandits were also very nervous.

However, when Zug was marching forward in battle formation, Song Xiang's horse bandits also observed the smoke and dust on the mountain road ahead. So the horse bandits also reined in their horses and looked at the mountain road ahead.

There was just a turn in this mountain road, and when the cavalry appeared at the bend, Song Xiang's face was immediately as white as earth, and he was not too familiar with this cavalry team. Song Xiang didn't say a word, turned his horse's head and wanted to run away, and when he saw Song Xiang and these horse bandits, Zug's cavalry also let go of their horses, lifted their spears and sprinted over.

When the horse bandits saw the heavily armed cavalry rushing over, they exploded at once. They also turned their horses' heads and tried to run away from the way they came. But this time blocked the escape route of Song Xiang, who had fled to the front just now.

Song Xiang drove the horse to squeeze left and right, but he couldn't squeeze out a road, he looked back at the sprinting cavalry, and felt that he couldn't escape. So Song Xiang was ruthless, and he also grabbed the riding spear next to the saddle, turned the horse's head, and shouted loudly at the cavalry: "Grandpa......"

At this time, the cavalry in the front row had already rushed in front of Song Xiang, and Song Xiang didn't have time to do the standard action of raising his horse spear to meet the battle, so he was stabbed under the horse by the oncoming cavalry at once. Next, these cavalrymen who rushed into the ranks of the horse bandits simply used their riding spears in their hands to keep stabbing the backs of those horse bandits who had not had time to escape, harvesting their lives.

At such a rendezvous, more than a dozen horse bandits were killed at once. Those cavalry were blocked by the ownerless empty horses, so they wanted to slow down their horses, but at this time, they heard Lord Chu, the commander behind them, shouting: "Catch up!" Don't let any of them go! chased them to the ends of the earth and killed them. ”

Zug was in the third platoon of the cavalry platoon. As soon as Song Xiang turned around just now, his face was seen by Zug. Finding that the horse bandits in front of him were the cavalrymen who had fled at that time, Zug immediately gritted his teeth and issued a kill order. And the cavalry after receiving the order did not hesitate to chase after the fleeing horse bandits.

There is no doubt about the outcome of this chase. The horses of the horse bandits were already very well used, and the cavalry of Zug were better preserved. In addition, the number of cavalry is large, and there is only one mountain road without branches. So when it came to Zuihou, none of those horse bandits slipped through the net. And the cavalry was zero casualties.

When Zug and Hefei converged, the captured miners immediately despaired. Because they found that the cavalry that came again basically brought the heads of all their mountain lords over.

After Hefei asked the miners to identify the heads, he learned that the leaders who led the miners had been wiped out by himself and Zug. Hefei was also smart, and he was able to discern some of the miners whose families were also captured. The family members were taken hostage, and then the miners were sent to the various mining areas to spread the word to all the miners, and they also promised to guarantee the lives of the surrendered miners and their families.

And most of the leaders of the miners, Zuihou, also surrendered to He Fei. In this way, the entire iron mine was seized in this way.

However, this victory made the commander-in-chief of this military operation, Zhou Xun, very dissatisfied. Two days later, Zhou Xun arrived with the main force. When he saw that the mine had been completely reclaimed. He immediately flew into a rage.

He yelled in front of all the officers: "You pigs! You dogs! Lao Tzu rushed here with great difficulty, but I didn't expect this battle to be finished for you pigs and dogs! So what else should Lao Tzu do? ”

Zhou Xun's words caused all the officers to get up.
