"Pudding lump..."

The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded on the official road, and seven or eight riders in various costumes leaned on the horse's back, tightly tightening the horse's back. For horses, this is what acceleration means.

Although the rider on the horse's back knew that the war horse under his crotch was already overwhelmed, if he urged him like this, the war horse would be ruined, but he still clamped the horse's belly without hesitation and whipped the horse's back from time to time so that the war horse could run faster.

After these riders passed for a while, a team of cavalry ran behind them, but the costumes of this cavalry were not as messy as the cavalry that had just passed.

These cavalry were all wearing half-body armor made of stainless steel, helmets on their heads, and a musket behind them. During the pursuit, these cavalry also shot arrows at the riders in front from time to time. However, because it was too difficult to aim on the horses, and the riders in front deliberately changed their running routes from time to time, it was difficult to aim. Except for a few arrows hit one or two unlucky ghosts, the rest of the arrows were all empty.

But as time goes by, the speed of the running riders ahead gradually slowed down. Although they had already escaped by destroying the health of the war horses, the potential of the war horses was limited after all. When the potential was exhausted, no matter how much they urged the war horses, it would be useless.

"Hissy..."

A running war horse had a soft hooves and fell to the ground with its own and horse. The rider on the horse flew out five or six meters. After landing, his head was twisted at a strange angle, and his mouth kept spitting blood and foam. It was obvious that this person was no longer able to do it.

The companion next to him ignored him and still rode his horse desperately. Many people turned around frequently, fearing that a deadly crossbow arrow would be shot from behind.

However, their luck was pretty good. Just before the cavalry behind chased them, Taihu City finally arrived. When they saw the city that had become a little ruined, several people's eyes turned red. It was not easy, and they finally saved their lives.

The person who was running desperately was naturally the bandits' whistle, while the person chasing them behind was the Jiangning Army's night-delay.

There was such a big noise under the city, so naturally the bandits on the city wall would not have been unaware of it. Soon a team of cavalry went out of the city to meet their companions and check if they could eat the pursuers behind them.

"Brothers, rush up and kill the Ming army."

"Go!"

Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed towards the pursuers behind in chaos, but something surprising happened.

If Ye Bushou faced nearly ten times the enemy, he would naturally run as far as possible. However, Ye Bushou of these Jiangning troops did not turn around and flee, but instead strangled the horses and raised the Minnie rifle at the bandits rushing towards them.

"put!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Only a burst of gunfire sounds were heard, and seven or eight bandits fell off their horses. After doing all this, these nights were not in a hurry to carry the muskets back behind and rode their horses to the way they came.

Seeing that Ye Bushou of the Ming army was so arrogant, the bandit general (equivalent to the BJP of the Ming army) who led the team out was so angry that his eyes turned red. He immediately led the people to chase after him without thinking. When Yuan Datou received the news and was about to order them to retreat, these people had already disappeared.

"These bastards actually attacked without orders, treating military rules as nothing, and waiting for them to come back, I will make them look good!"

City gate

Seeing the death and injuries that were left to talk about three or four people, Yuan Datou was furious, but he forgot that the person who was most disgusted with military rules on weekdays was not someone else, but he was the chief lieutenant.

After losing his temper, Yuan Datou asked Cui in anger several whistle-snooping whistle: "Where are you meeting those Ye Busu, and what is the situation of the Ming army?"

One of the leaders squads and cried, "When the commander goes back to the commander, the brothers are really more than 80 miles away from here, and the brothers are in a place called Qiutian Village who are not allowed to accept the Ming army at night. After the two sides met, the brothers immediately fought with them.

But our equipment was too poor, and the arrows shot by the brothers could not shoot through the iron armor of their equipment. After the two sides shot arrows at each other, our brothers, who were nearly twenty, were almost half missing. Seeing that the situation was not good, the villain immediately ordered to retreat. Those damn Ye Bucheng chased them relentlessly. As they chased them all the way, they kept being shot to death by Ye Bucheng. Now there are only three or four of us left."

Yuan Datou interrupted him impatiently: "I didn't ask how many people you died. What was the situation of the Ming army? How many soldiers and horses did they come? How far is it from us? Will they attack Taihu County?"

The ward, he quickly said, "Prince, what the villain and his group met was the Jiangning Army's night-despair. As for their large teams, they did not meet. However, according to the villain, the Ming Army's night-despair range should not exceed 100 miles. Therefore, according to the villain's estimate, the Jiangning Army's large teams should be about 140 to 160 miles away from us in the north."

"One Hundred and Sixty Miles?"

Yuan Datou frowned slightly. This distance was nothing to an army. According to the speed of the marching of the Light Army, the Jiangning Army could reach Taihu County within two to three days at most.

After a while of silence, Yuan Datou turned his head and said to the person: "Spread all our sentry immediately. We must find out the number and destination of the Ming army, and then order all the people in the city to gather together and seize the time to repair the damaged city wall."

"clear!"

A chief officer of the department said to him with some concern: "Brother... do we have to fight against the Jiangning Army? The military advisor has given instructions. When he encounters the Jiangning Army, he should report to the King of Chuang immediately or retreat. Do not act rashly. If he suffers losses, the King of Chuang will get angry."

"You're afraid of nothing."

Yuan Datou snorted coldly.

"Don't forget, the King of Chuang said. Anyone who can win a soldier in the Jiangning Army with one head, will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, three heads will be promoted to one level, and ten heads will be promoted to three level directly.

I thought, if I could kill one or two hundred Jiangning troops, although I, the captain, would not be promoted, I could also let that scholar see that Jiangning troops are not invincible in the world, and we can still treat him. At that time, I would not be ashamed to see that he was ashamed. Such a scholar who dared not even kill a chicken would dare to set military rules for us brothers in the old camp, which would be so beautiful!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Datou's eyes showed a strange light, as if he had seen that if he could defeat a Jiangning army and throw hundreds of heads in front of Li Yan, everyone was surprised and admiring.
