Chapter 1956 Pursuit
With the roar of cannons at the top of the city, two shells as heavy as fifteen kilograms were thrown into the air, and then they hit hard among the team behind the Mongolian cavalry.
A cavalry was hit on the head by a shell and blood splattered everywhere. The cavalry behind them also followed the people and horses. A strong maroon horse fell to the ground and roared in pain.
The time from launching the shell to falling was very short, but it had a huge impact on the situation.
this……
The Mongolian cavalry behind him were stunned when they saw the shells falling from the sky. As if they were poured with cold water, they no longer had the excitement and expectation of entering the city to massacre. They all looked up at the city in horror.
The torches on the top of the city had already ignited. In addition to a brilliant figure and a group of majestic Ming army leaders, they also illuminated the red copper heavy artillery on the top of the city.
The torches on the top of the city spread to both sides, and the entire north wall was lit with torches, as if they had ignited the city at once, and the city that had awakened resolutely opened its eyes.
Seeing this scene, they immediately knew that the Ming army had already been on high alert, and the so-called sneak attack was just a joke. It just seemed that things were a little late because their front troops had already entered the city.
Wow...
The vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry rushed out from the city cave nearly twenty meters away, and when they were about to set fire in the streets in the city, they nervously held the reins.
The war horses rushed forward inertially after coming out of the city gate. Even though the Mongolian cavalry had tightened the reins of the horse at the first time, they still hit the barrier on the ground with their men and horses.
Immediately, the man was overturned again, and a strong black horse fell to the ground and roared in pain. The two Mongolian cavalrymen were stabbed to death by the sharpened wooden boards.
The vanguards of the Mongolian cavalry also realized something was wrong, so they tied their horses in a limited area and immediately entered a combat state.
However, there are layers of obstacles and railings everywhere here, and there is no way to break through them. More than a hundred people who come in are trapped in this limited area.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of guns sounded from the streets in front and the city above. The red-robed knight, who had been waiting for the battle, held the most advanced guns and pulled the machine towards these living targets.
A lead bullet hit the middle of the eyebrows of a Mongolian cavalry, opening his eyes in disbelief, and then fell heavily from the horse's back, and his mind didn't seem to understand what was going on.
More Mongolian cavalry were also shot, but not only hit people's bodies, but some lead bullets made the horses neigh, and many Mongolian cavalry fell into a pool of blood, including their men and horses.
With Zhao Quan's joining, the Mongolian cavalry also mastered the technology of muskets, but never saw the power of such high-quality guns, but he was completely at a disadvantage.
"how so!"
Zhao Quan looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart became cold and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
He didn't understand why the believers in the entire Wanquan Zuo Cang could not open the city gate, and he didn't understand why this secret matter was learned in advance by the Ming army, which led them to the trap.
"I've fallen into the trap, withdraw!"
When Tulibabu heard the movements at the city wall, he immediately realized that the so-called inner commander had never deceived the Ming army. Seeing that there was no way to break through and enter the city, he issued an order to retreat.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The remaining dozens of Mongolian cavalry holding sharp blades turned their horses to retreat, but the lead bullet shot shot through their backs, piercing through their lungs and fell off the horse immediately.
The battle not only started at the city gate, but there were already lurking in the Wengcheng with red robes and crossbowmen in Wanquan's left guards, shooting at the Mongolian cavalry that appeared in sight.
Although the Mongolian cavalry wanted to fight back, under the powerful firepower and in the open space, they also fell heavily from the horses.
Boom!
Four Thunder God heavy artillery showed off their power together. These gunners were all old gunners transferred from Leizhou. They not only had extremely high accuracy, but also purposefully disrupted the formation of the Mongolian cavalry.
The Mongolian cavalry were not stubborn reckless men. After realizing that there was an ambush at the city gate, they did not dare to continue rushing inside, but they fought with the archers at the top of the city.
ah……
Tulibajiu was not injured in front of the city gate, but when he rushed through the city, he was hit by a lead bullet on his right arm, which made his face look extremely painful.
Fortunately, he finally escaped from the city gate with a lot of crisis. But he knew that the battle was not over. His troops were not large this time, but now the shells were broken up again. I am afraid that the Ming army would not let this go.
Good opportunity.
"Brothers, make achievements tonight, rush!"
Zhang Peidong had already formed the strongest cavalry team of Wanquan Left Guard. Faced with such an advantage, he also held up his machete and slapped the horse and attacked the deserters.
The morale and formation of the two sides' battles are very important. It is naturally terrifying to have three thousand Mongolian cavalry in an orderly manner, but the formation is now disrupted, which is naturally a good time for them to harvest the Mongolian defeated soldiers.
Lin Weiran, wearing black clothes, looked deep at everything in front of him. Seeing Zhang Peidong leading five thousand cavalry chased him, he knew that things were going in a good direction. :(/
Although the Mongolian cavalry is very terrible, it is far from invincible. As long as you use your own resources, you can also massacre the Mongolian cavalry.
However, this path cannot be achieved overnight, but it requires him to constantly improve and to constantly select good generals, so as to build a powerful army that can defeat Altan's army.
Under the influence of artillery shells and panic, Zhao Quan led a group of people to flee to the east, while Tuliba Mian led a group of troops to flee to the west, and the three thousand cavalry had been dispersed.
It is naturally impossible for Zhang Peidong to become the supreme military commander of Wanquan Left Guard, but he led his subordinates to bite the soil and constantly harvest the lives of the Mongolian cavalry.
Wanquan Right Acropolis is located on the south bank of the Yanghe River. When Zhang Peidong saw the earth and fleeing to the west, he showed excitement in his eyes. Because the river water surged in summer, there was no place to cross the river in front.
The crescent moon fell on the top of the mountain, reflecting the gurgling river water, and also illuminating the weeds road, as if guiding the direction.
The Ming cavalry rushed to nearly ten miles and harvested the lives of hundreds of single Mongolian cavalrymen. This was a rare victory for their entire left guard and the guest army in recent years.
"Sir, there is no road in the Manchu Beach in front of them, they should know!" A thousand households smelled the danger and immediately reminded.
Zhang Peidong had just personally dealt with a Mongolian cavalry, but he smiled cruelly and said loudly: "This is the way to heaven and he will not go, he will not go, he will have no way to break through, so we will continue to pursue, and this time we will surround them and kill them on Mangosteen Beach!
”
The so-called mangosteen beach is a disturbing terrain composed of mountains and rivers. It is named after the many carbama growing in the area. A turret for local military households and people to take refuge.
Because the narrower the terrain becomes, the narrower it will eventually become a turtle in the jar. Therefore, this has always been an excellent place to encircle and suppress, and it is also one of the reasons why Zhang Peidong chose to pursue the west.
Seeing these Mongolian cavalry rushing towards this closure, how could he give up such a god-given opportunity? Naturally, he wanted to kill all these unscrupulous Tartars and accept this great military merit.
Five thousand horses were flying, rolling up dust, and continued along the road near the Yanghe River, blocking the Mongolian deserters in this mangosteen beach.
Huh?
Chapter completed!
