The Gyeonggi region is still in a standoff.

But it's not that they don't do anything all day, and the Jin soldiers have always taken the initiative because they have more cavalry.

Wanyan Sect looked at the cavalry scattered everywhere, reconnoitred the news, covered the battlefield, and cut off traffic. This not only made it difficult for Zhu Ming to contact Tokyo, but also made it impossible to figure out where the real Jin Bing camp was.

Deng Chun and Chen Ziyi were always fighting with the cavalry of the Jin State.

The intensity was not large, all of them were skirmishes, and the casualties on both sides every day only added up to double digits.

"Why did the marshal go out himself?"

"yes, just let us go."

"The marshal must not take the risk himself!"

“……”

Hearing that Zhu Ming was going to personally reconnoiter the battlefield, the generals under his command dissuaded him one after another.

This is by no means a brain-dead act, but all famous generals must personally reconnoitre, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are like this, and the same is true of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan.

In those years, Li Shimin led his troops to fight, and he also personally engaged in reconnaissance many times.

Because what you see with your own eyes is far more intuitive than listening to someone else's retelling, and it is more conducive to making correct judgments and decisions.

"I'll just take a look at it, and I won't go too deep." Zhu Ming actually wanted to personally understand the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

The generalissimo insisted on going his own way, and it was difficult for the generals to dissuade him, and Zhang Guangdao was left to sit in the camp.

Zhu Ming rode a cornucopia across the river, and Tianwang Jia was carried by an inferior horse.

He was followed by more than 800 musketeers, and at the current rate of musket manufacturing, it is estimated that the number will reach 1,000 by the end of the year. The musketeers also rode horses, and they changed into good horses, which were captured from Pharmacist Guo a few days ago.

Hua Rong's musketeers were there, and Deng Xia's artillery team naturally did not fall.

More than 500 mules and horses, carrying dozens of Tiger Squat Cannons, as well as the gunners and ammunition of Tiger Squat Cannons, advanced.

Zhu Ming was speechless about this, although the generals promised him to fight in person, they also stuffed all the troops that could be plugged in, and they sent the infantry with them.

The village ahead was empty, and most of the villagers fled.

Because the Jin people robbed the new wheat nearby, the people would be killed if they resisted the slightest.

"The marshal might as well wait in the village, and the last general will go to lure the enemy first." Deng Chun was worried that Zhu Ming was in danger.

Seeing the expressions of the riders, Zhu Ming knew that he was too far forward and would make them restrain their hands, so he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, be careful in everything." ”

Deng Chun led 3,000 light horsemen to go first, divided into three groups and scattered to investigate. (In fact, there are less than 3,000, and some died in the battle with Guo Yaoshi.) ）

After a short time, they encountered a small group of enemy horsemen.

Those Jin cavalry were even fewer in number, shooting and retreating, leaving a few corpses to flee. At the same time, he blew the horn and called for more companions to try to keep the cavalry under Deng Chun's command.

"Fifth prince, there's a thief riding over there!"

"Chase!"

The sound of horns came and went, and the surrounding Jin State cavalry leaned over one after another when they heard the sound, and Wanyan Zongjun even took a thousand Hezha Meng'an.

Wanyan Zongjun is the eldest son of Aguta, and if it is according to the Han patriarchal law, he should succeed him.

In another time and space, Wanyan Zongjun should have died last year. He was wounded in a battle with the heavy cavalry of the Liao State, and the squad returned to the dynasty and died, presumably from a wound infection.

But I don't know what's going on, Wanyan Zongjun in this time and space didn't go to fight Xijing of Liao with Wanyan Xian at all, and naturally he wouldn't die from his injuries.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi commanded a thousand horsemen, came from nearby to converge and said: "The fifth prince is careful, the thief rider is accustomed to luring the enemy with light horses, and then set up an ambush and surround it with heavy horses. I've just suffered a big loss, and I've been very cautious these days, don't chase too deep! ”

"This kind of tactics, my Dajin Kingdom has long been used up," Wanyan Zongjun said, "I have an escort army under my command, even if I am ambushed, I am not afraid." ”

The cause of death in this reckless history is that with a small number of escort troops, he took the initiative to forcibly attack the heavy cavalry of the Liao State. really overturned the Liao heavy cavalry, and then he was injured and died......

Wanyan Zongjun rushed forward non-stop, and the cavalry around him gathered more and more.

Yang Yun and Yu Dian also joined with their cavalry and kept shooting arrows to lure the enemy. Their horses do not sprint fast, and when they encounter a large number of enemy horses, they dare not get too close, and archery is almost useless.

After chasing and fleeing for a while, Deng Chun also came, and the three thousand light horsemen completely dispersed. The three directions of north, northeast, and east behind them were all chased by the cavalry of the Jin State, and there were about three or four thousand cavalry - there were more cavalry in the Jin Kingdom, scattered in the surrounding areas, and there was no time to arrive.

Gradually approaching the village, Wanyan Zongjun stopped.

When he was chasing the enemy, he only wore armor himself, and his horse did not wear armor, but now he asked him to put on his vest as well.

"Fifth prince, there must be an ambush in the village ahead!" Pharmacist Guo suffered a loss, and now he is very jealous of Zhu Ming.

"What are you afraid of?"

Wanyan Zongjun thought that Wanyan Zongwang was too cowardly, and he had been facing each other and did not dare to fight a decisive battle, but he had already started fighting.

In this nearby area, the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom has already reconnoitred today, and it is impossible to hide too many enemies. And the village is so big, can it hide tens of thousands of troops?

Even if there are 10,000 enemy troops, Wanyan Zongjun is not afraid, because he has a thousand escort troops.

With only this thousand escort troops, he dared to charge against twenty or thirty thousand enemy troops!

Because it was not too far from his own camp, the escort army was only one man and two horses, and he didn't even bring his subordinates. They put on their own horses, and then they put on their heavy armor and turned over on their horses, and they rode in array calmly and waited for military orders.

Zhu Ming didn't hide anymore, and when the enemy put on armor on the war horses, sixty tiger squat cannons were pushed out of the village entrance to assemble and reload.

More than 800 musketeers rode out of the village and dismounted and stood in front of the tiger squatting cannon.

Bai Sheng also put on a vest for the cornucopia, and Zhu Ming himself put on the armor of the Heavenly King, and walked to the front of the formation on horseback.

This set of Heavenly King armor is too windy, shining golden in the sun, and if you get a little closer, you will be blinded.

Zhu Ming shouted: "Raise the flag!" ”

First erected a pole at the entrance of the village, and then erected a vermilion flag.

The moment Daxu fluttered in the wind, Wanyan Zongjun became excited: "That's the commander of the enemy army, after more than ten days of cruising, I finally found a decent prey!" ”

Guo Yaoshi had palpitations: "Fifth prince, the enemy commander is here, I am afraid that there will be an ambush." ”

Wanyan Zongjun said: "How many times have the Liao soldiers ambushed me, but once it was successful? The escort army is invincible in the world and is not afraid of any enemy! ”

This guy is bold, but at the same time careful, and reckless also has to talk about tactics.

He asked Guo Yaoshi and another Jin general to lead ordinary cavalry to shoot arrows, and even fight in close combat, to disturb the enemy as much as possible. He divided the 1,000 escort army into three groups, looking for an opportunity to charge in echelons, and if the battle was unfavorable, he could alternately cover the retreat.

Strict military orders, sophisticated equipment, and brave soldiers can ensure that the escort army will not be defeated and will not suffer too much damage.

Often, after the retreat was alternately covered, the battle was reorganized and the pursuing enemy was defeated!

Wu Lan recalled in his later years that he said that a fight with Jin Ren was a day, referring to this kind of super elite. Relying on the excellent armor and war horses, defeated but not defeated, fighting and retreating, resting for a while, forming a formation and coming again, fighting repeatedly, making people disgusting and frightened.

"Raise your gun!"

Hua Rong shouted, and the whistle blew.

Guo Yaoshi and another Jin general were ordered to lead the army to charge.

But he saw the commander of the enemy army retreat to the side and join the cavalry there. And the enemy in front is very strange, obviously there is a war horse, but he dismounts and stands on the ground, holding a strange stick in his hand.

When the 800-odd musketeers usually pretended to be forced, the chain mail was worn inside, and the silk was worn outside.

When he really fought, he wore silk on the inside and chain mail on the outside.

At a distance of about 100 meters, they fired one after another, and then immediately mounted their horses and withdrew.

"Bang ......"

After the gunshot, about fifty or sixty horsemen of the enemy running at high speed were hit, and some of them were directly shot by war horses.

This time, iron bullets were used, which were more armor-piercing than lead bullets.

What was that?

Wanyan Zongjun only heard a sound, and then some smoke drifted out of the enemy formation.

Pharmacist Guo was charging, with a bow and arrow in his hand, ready to shoot after another run.

The strange sound alerted him, and he quickly reined in his horse and slowed down.

On the other side, the golden general named Bu Gulu was still leading his troops to accelerate the charge.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Deng Xia waved the order flag, and sixty tiger squat cannons, each loaded with twenty-five shotguns, and 1,500 small iron bullets flew out like flowers.

The nearest Jin cavalry was only fifty or sixty meters away.

They were about to shoot arrows when an overwhelming hail of shotguns flew in, and a large number of cavalry were killed.

The golden general named Bu Gulu was hit by two bullets in his body and one bullet in his horse, and he died on the spot.

Pharmacist Guo's luck is extremely good, but there is no. But he was already frightened, because many cavalry around him had fallen, and this guy had already slowed down his horse's speed, turned his horse's head and chose to slip away.

After the shelling, Deng Chun, Yang Yun, and Yu Dian immediately led the light cavalry to shoot arrows and charge, killing the enemy cavalry that was disrupted by the cannonballs.

Zhu Ming led Chen Ziyi's more than 280 cavalry, and Geng Zhongnian led more than 1,000 Hebei cavalry, still standing still, ready to engage Yan Zongjun's escort army at any time.

Hua Rong's musketeers are reloading.

"What a scary tiger squat cannon!" Chen Ziyi's scalp was numb when he saw it, and it was the first time he had seen the scene of a salvo of sixty tiger squatting cannons.

What should I do if I encounter it?

Chen Ziyi felt that there were only two ways, one was to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible, and the other was to rush over with the shells.

The enemy cavalry, which had been continuously subjected to musket and artillery fire, had been beaten to pieces, and now they were killed by Deng Chun with 3,000 cavalry, and they immediately chose to flee in great panic.

Wanyan Zongjun had a visor to cover his face, and no one could see his expression clearly.

The face under the visor is actually dumbfounded!

This guy is also not afraid of death, and when he encounters weapons and tactics that he cannot understand, his first reaction is not to run away, but to rush forward to meet the defeated friendly forces. He has a brain, and now the enemy and the enemy are already in a scuffle, and the enemy's terrifying weapon is impossible to use again.

Zhu Ming put down the binoculars, pulled down his armor and said, "Blow the trumpet, raise the flag, let Deng Chun withdraw, and Hua Rong go to shoot." ”

"Woooooo

The Hanqiang light cavalry, who were chasing the enemy cavalry, heard the sound of the horn and stopped their horses.

The effects of the long training were evident, and the 3,000 cavalry were able to carry out the order.

While the Hanqiang light cavalry retreated, Hua Rong's more than 800 musketeers had already finished loading and mounted their horses and waited. Receiving the order, they immediately rode to the flank.

Wanyan Zongjun successfully protected the friendly troops from danger, and was about to withdraw his troops to study the enemy's tactics, but saw more than 800 "cavalrymen" wearing chain armor rushing towards him.

Rushing to within a few dozen paces, he rolled over and dismounted in unison - sitting on the back of the horse undulated, the musket was only worse.

At the same time, Geng Zhongnian led more than 1,000 Hebei cavalry and circled to Wanyan Zongjun's side.

Zhu Ming and Chen Ziyi slowly advanced with the mounted cavalry.

"Bang bang bang!"

Hua Rong's more than 800 musketeers immediately mounted their horses after firing, and dismounted again on horse-drawn distances.

Wanyan Zongjun didn't know how to fight, and he rushed to the end of the normal situation. The elite of the Jin Kingdom led by him dared to rush when they encountered a large number of bed crossbows from Wu Jue, and they were shot so that they were still defeated but not defeated. But these two strange weapons in front of you are more difficult to deal with than the bed crossbow that requires a lot of personnel to operate and is slow to reload.

Moreover, this thousand escort troops, even people and horses wear armor, and the war horses can't run fast with gravity, so they can only fight and retreat, and they can't escape if they just drive away.

If you fight and retreat, it is equivalent to being shot repeatedly!
