0715 Night Raid
And by that time they had already entered the place where the cattle and sheep gathered, and there must have been shepherds and sheepdogs who kept vigil, and there was no escaping this. But anyway, by that time, it will be very close to the tribal settlement, so you can just rush forward and kill!
After receiving the report, Liu Haojia pulled out his sword and waved it and said, "Forward!"
After receiving the order, Lao Ye did not take the lead and rushed to the front of the team, provoking the air death wind lamp that was blocked on three sides to lead the way in front.
The crowd stumbled far in the dark, and since they were downwind, they heard a faint dog barking in front of them. This shows that they are very close to the herders who are on duty at night. So without waiting for his orders, the cavalry on the left and right flanks had already begun to beat their horses forward, and at the same time they began to light the torches in their hands! With the torch illuminating, the speed of the war horse has been raised to the extreme!
At the same time, the firecrackers also began to trot with their firearms. For these infantrymen, the distance of one or two miles is often run during training in peacetime, and it is very easy. But after all, they couldn't keep up with the speed of the war horse, and they were left behind in the blink of an eye!
Once the war horse runs, the sound can't be blocked, and in an instant, the barking of the dog in front of it is connected! But it stands to reason that the shepherds should have reacted a long time ago, but they knew that when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, they thought something was wrong!
Because it wasn't long ago that Hatch and the others came back at nightfall. And the herdsmen were just asleep and tossed up to serve these people, and they also killed cattle and sheep to serve them to eat, and they were already tired, so they reacted a lot sluggishly, and they didn't react until the cavalry killed in front of them!
But the shepherds were brave enough to break out of their tents to see what was going on. When they found out that the cavalry had been killed, some people turned around and ran, some wanted to escape on horseback, and some bravely blew their horns!
But neither the escapees nor the trumpeters ended badly, and they were all cut in two by the saber! But their warnings have been heard! But the reason why they didn't die was that for the same reason, the people of the tribe were also very slow to react, and they only began to assemble when the cavalry had already rushed to the edge of the tribe, but the poor man could not stop the cavalry charge at all!
The settlement of a tribe is not large, because a yurt can live a large family. And since suddenly two tribes joined in, the gap between the tents was filled with new tents, which gave the cavalry an opportunity!
Each of these cavalrymen carried at least two torches, and when they rushed into the camp, they threw them out and set them on fire! The tents where Mongolian herders have lived for many years have long been soaked in oil, and once they encounter the torches, they will burn to the ground instantly! ap.
When the cavalry rushed into the camp, many Mongols had already reacted, but as soon as they came out of the tent, they were either trampled by the horses or saw the sabers slashing over! Either the ropes holding the tent were cut down and then set on fire, and the people inside were crushed by the heavy felt tents and burned alive!
And these Mongols have also been comfortable for too long, they haven't encountered this situation for a long time, and they don't know how to deal with it at all! Some people want to resist, some people want to find their horses, some people want to escape, and there are even more women screaming and children crying in the mix, and the whole southern part of the camp will be in chaos!
But this was a wake-up call for the people in the northern part of the camp, and when they rushed out of their tents, the southern part of the tribe was already in flames! And in the firelight, the cavalry of the Ming army was slashing and trampling on horses! So they were shocked and angry, and quickly prepared to assemble and fight back!
But as the so-called defeat is like a mountain, how can it be so easy to gather after being raided at night! Before they could gather, they were already swept away by the running tribesmen! In addition, a large group of frightened horses rushed left and right in the camp, and all their ideas of counterattack were wiped out!
At this time, Hatch has also been awakened! He pushed away the woman beside him, put on his robe and was about to rush out. Before he could reach the entrance of the tent, his guards had already rushed in. Then, the moment the curtain opened, he could already see the fire in the camp!
Hatch immediately asked, "What's the matter, is there a fire?"
And his guards said loudly with panicked faces, "It's the Ming army who has killed it! They are in the camp
Set fire everywhere!"
Hatch was furious! He has always been the only one who bullied people, but today he has been bullied to the end! He rushed out of the tent and wanted to shout loudly for the soldiers to assemble, but the bright light of the fire in front of him told him that the fire in the camp was not small, and it was difficult to extinguish! Moreover, in the firelight, there were cavalry of the Ming army slashing back and forth, driving away the crowd, and trampling on people's horses!
And a troop of horsemen was rushing in his direction, and he even saw the horseman who had taken the lead take off a fist-sized jar from his waist, light it on a torch, and throw it with horsepower! The jar smashed under the tent and shattered, and the flying flames fell on the tent and immediately burst into flames!
Hatch's eyes were red when he saw this! However, he could still tell that there were not many cavalry on the other side, and they just rushed in to create chaos while he was not on guard! He immediately raised his scimitar and shouted, "Assemble here with me and kill these Ming troops back!"
At this moment, Bahu Nai and Ansge also gathered towards him with their own soldiers, and the three of them immediately formed a team of sixty or seventy people, and there were constantly panicked herdsmen approaching them, and the team became bigger and bigger!
If it was according to his idea, he should face the Ming cavalry and kill it, and then send people to dismantle the extra tents to isolate the fire, so that these Ming troops could be defeated quickly. But before they could get in formation, seven or eight warhorses that were on fire rushed over and crashed into the crowd, knocking them over on their backs, and the people who had just gathered were immediately scattered again!
The soldiers of the Ming army who had just set the fire took the opportunity to rush over and slash in the crowd, and some people pulled out their short guns and shot at the crowd, completely breaking up their ranks! With the help of the firelight, the soldiers of the Ming army had clearly seen that there were many people gathered around the three of them, and they knew that their status was not low, so they immediately rushed over with a loud shout, obviously planning to take the heads of several of them to ask for credit!
Go back and be furious! He had never been so despised, so he stepped onto the war horse sent by his own soldiers and was about to rush forward, but suddenly a dense row of firearms rang out on the south side of the camp! It's the infantry that has arrived!
