Chapter 362: Battle of the Western Route Army in the Rain, First Update
The light rain fell in the morning, and before noon, the light rain turned into moderate rain.
For places with little precipitation and a lot of drought, this rain is good.
It’s just that Taiwei Duo’er Jiaba was not happy at all. He had already received news, one was the news of Sicihan’s defeat, and the other was the news of Wang Baobao’s defeat.
The information from both sides was delivered at almost the same time, just an hour ago.
And he was about to face the Ming Dynasty general Fu Youde, the Marquis of Yingchuan, who had just defeated Cihan. The army in the front was defeated and King Qin was asked for in the rear.
But why did he look at the cavalry team in front of the Ming Dynasty? As soon as he led the team to turn around, they would chase him from behind.
Looking at the non-stop rain, Duoer became more and more irritated, and at the same time she was confused about the weapons of the Ming army.
Intelligence sent from Helin showed that the Ming army had a special kind of firecracker, with a range far beyond that of normal firecrackers, and the reloading time was only half the time of firecrackers.
And it does not require an open flame to ignite, so it is not afraid of fighting in rainy days. Ordinary shields are difficult to withstand and will be penetrated in one hit.
If the Ming army really used such fire blunderbuss, he would be beaten
He was just thinking that the Ming army cavalry appeared, and there were about two thousand cavalry in the front. I can't see the number behind them, it's raining so bad.
Duoer Zhiba’s soldiers are still unclear about the situation. They are guarding the pass and will not take the initiative to fight. Unfortunately, there is no city wall here, but there are hills on both sides, making the location of the pass suitable. defense.
The Ming army's cavalry was getting closer and closer, but they did not charge. People at the pass hid behind the fence.
At five hundred steps, three hundred steps, and two hundred steps, the Ming army's cavalry stopped, and the men on the horses raised their flintlock guns and pointed them in front.
With the command of "release", the five hundred cavalrymen fired the bullets in their guns.
Yuan Jun looked at this distance and was wondering. The man behind the fence suddenly fell down, and the wood of the fence was also beaten to pieces.
“Let go” was another order, and another five hundred people fired.
The Yuan soldiers behind the fence continued to fall to the ground. Some people saw this and simply fell down themselves and pretended to be dead.
"Lie down." Duo'er Zhiba finally saw the Ming army's new guns mentioned in the news. He shouted, and other generals sent orders.
They lay down together, and the Ming cavalry was not in a hurry. Those who had fired before immediately dismounted and reloaded their ammunition.
If the enemy is willing to lie down, let them lie down for a while. The people behind will come up to deal with it, and you will be responsible for long-distance attacks.
Not long after, the team behind led some horses, which were livestock captured in the previous battle.
Someone selected ten horses that didn’t look very good, hung things on the horses, calculated the distance, and drove the horses forward, one hundred steps forward. At this time, some Yuan soldiers found that the distance was enough and stood up. He got up and wanted to shoot an arrow.
“The flintlock gun crackled first, and the people who had just stood up, whether they were shot or not, all fell down again.
The ten people who reached the hundredth step lit the fuse. The horse was stabbed in the butt, turned around and ran away.
The horse rushed forward in pain and rushed to the fence. Before it could turn and hit, a booming explosion was heard.
The horse carrying the explosive was blown to pieces in an instant, and the fence was messed up by the shock wave. People close to the fence were bleeding from their mouths.
The Yuan soldiers were stunned for a moment, and they understood the gunpowder explosion. , but have never seen such a movement, how much gunpowder can explode to what it is now
Just when they didn't know what to do, a group of horses was rushed over.
< p>"Run!" When someone saw the horses, they shouted and turned around and ran away, regardless of anything else.Others, whether they heard the shout or not, just watched. Others followed suit.
As soon as they ran, the flintlock team came forward, chased them for a distance, and fired continuously, but the horses rushing forward did not explode.
< p>Duo'er only watched the gate being opened without caring about anything else. She turned around and mounted her horse, shouting, "Follow me to King Qin, go to King Qin." ”When the others heard this, they said, yes, we are not escaping, we are going to serve the king.
So a chase began, and the other cavalry just protected him with their flintlock guns. The cavalry and fusilier cavalry chased the enemy and attacked.
The Yuan soldiers' infantry surrendered directly, while the cavalry ran as fast as they could, leaving all the baggage behind.
After chasing for a long time, all the Ming troops returned to the pass and counted the prisoners and baggage. Because it was a pass, many things were put here, including cattle and horses used to transport supplies. It belongs to Fu Youde.
Fu Youde looked at the mountain of supplies and smiled like a flower. "The flintlock gun is so easy to use, and the explosives are also easy to use. If you blow it up once and deceive it again, the enemy will be frightened." Emboldened. ”
“Grab some dry food and hurry up.” "He took out a handful of meat floss and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, then opened the water bag and took a sip of water, showing a satisfied look.
The other soldiers were the same. The only discomfort was in their hands. There was rain, so I washed my hands with rainwater and carefully kneaded the meat floss.
The team traveled for another half day, and in the evening, they saw another team, led by Feng Sheng himself.
p>
"Weixue, how are you?" Feng Sheng asked loudly and happily when he saw the people and baggage brought back by Fu Youde.
"Zong Yi, no one died, I and the army are always with us. The enemy kept their distance, they had not seen new firearms, and they ran away after being hit.
When they were fighting at the pass, they used ten horses to bring explosives to blow them up, and then frightened them, but Duoer was defeated immediately.
Look, there are so many cattle and horses, plus their arrows, gunpowder, fried rice, and fried noodles, it is enough for us to hit Helin. ”
Fu Youde was equally happy becauseThere was no one in Feng Sheng's team who felt sorry for them. Obviously, both sides took full advantage of the enemy's lack of understanding of the characteristics of the flintlock rifle.
"Have a rest. We have prepared a meal here and are waiting for you."
Feng Sheng called Fu Youde into the tent. It was still raining outside, but it was lighter. Some.
Beef was roasting in the tent. Feng Sheng sat next to him and said to Fu Youde, "Other teams also sent news. Tang He was the first to capture Yanghe and stayed there.
Li Wenzhong marched smoothly, and all the Yuan soldiers he encountered on the road fled. However, he wrote a letter saying that he was not in a hurry to pursue them.
He said that he would just get to the place according to time, and the enemy could not always be there. If you run, you will eventually stop.
When Xu Da fought with Wang Baobao, Wang Baobao also suffered the disadvantage of not being familiar with flintlock guns. He was killed in the heavy rain and escaped with less than ten thousand people. < /p>
Xu Da did not attack Helin there, but sent out scouts every day to look for traces of Yuan soldiers and surround them for reinforcements."
Fu Youde took out his knife and put it on the roasted beef leg. Take off the outer layer of cooked slices, dip them in salt and stuff them into your mouth, chew them a few times. "If you shoot a few more times, Yuan soldiers will be familiar with our flintlock guns, and they must have ways to deal with them.
Today During the fight, they lay on the ground, and our army had no way to attack unless the cavalry rushed up." "How many lives do they have to get familiar with?" Feng Sheng smiled, and he would fight a few more times. Once you are familiar with it, you will lose it.
