Ma Bao's face was tense, and the sound of wind whistled past the sides of his helmet, mixing with the sound of horse hooves. The horse hoof prints on the muddy road already showed that the enemy was not far away, and he could catch up with him if he worked harder.
, kill them to pieces.
It feels so good to be chasing and chasing! Ma Zide was one riding position behind Ma Bao. He firmly grasped the handle of his saber. It felt a little slippery due to the rain. He rubbed his hands on his waist and thighs a few times. Hmm.
, I feel much better this time.
The rain is like mist, but it just doesn't stop. But the dark clouds have thinned, and the moonlight is faintly shining through, becoming hazy. The accumulated water on the road reflects a little light, and then is trampled by the chaotic horse hooves, splashing countless broken jade fragments.
The prince of Shu, Liu Zhen, and the general Zhang Guoyong were lagging behind Ma Bao, but they were in line with Ma Zide. They were both a little unhappy with this guy who was obviously here to steal credit, but because of Ma Bao's face,
He didn't have time to make sarcastic remarks, but he would never lag behind him.
Faintly, he could already see the figures in front of him. Ma Bao smiled coldly, grabbed the spear, and raised it forward.
Ma Zide raised his saber, with his upper arm perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the tip of his elbow pointing to the sky against his helmet, and his upper arm firmly behind his back, ready to strike with all his strength.
Liu Zhen, Zhang Guoyong, and the cavalry behind them also raised their weapons, knives or spears, and the excitement of the battle instantly filled their bodies.
The first ones to be overtaken were the Qing soldiers who entered the jungle to search for and kill the enemy. Not only did these people start late, they were left with tired horses. So they became the first group of pursuers.
Kill the object.
Seeing that the pursuers were behind them, these Qing soldiers screamed in fear and panic, and beat their horses desperately, but no one dared to turn around and fight.
Close, close, Ma Bao clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse rushed forward, already reaching the attack distance. He held the gun with both hands, controlled the horse purely with his legs, and thrust out with a gun. There was a sticky feeling along the gun body.
When he heard the news, he pulled it out with all his strength. Amidst the screams, the Qing soldiers' left ribs were bleeding and they fell off their horses.
The Ming cavalry used Ma Bao as arrowheads, like a surging tide, mercilessly drowning the Qing army that lagged behind.
Ma Zide leaned forward and slashed down with the saber that had been prepared for a long time. With the power of his forward momentum, he carried the saber across his shoulders and almost cut the Qing soldiers in half.
"Hey!" Liu Zhen had already stood up from the saddle, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and controlled the horse with his legs. He stabbed out diagonally and hit the enemy soldier in the back.
"Behead!" Zhang Guoyong swung his sword and made a powerful and heavy slash. Blood rain spattered and a head flew into the air.
The swords and guns kept waving, more blood spattered out, and more screams rang out and stopped. The Ming army cavalry became more and more excited, and kept making excited shouts. And the Qing soldiers who were lucky enough to survive after falling from their horses also
He only had a few extra seconds to survive, as rows of Ming cavalry galloped past. They were either killed or trampled to pulp by horses' hooves.
The field of vision in front widened, and the group of Qing soldiers who had fallen behind had been killed. The sense of stagnation disappeared, and the Ming army's cavalry speeded up again, chasing the figures in front of them.
Xian Guoan listened to the rumble of horse hooves behind him, and while he was frightened, he felt the labored breathing of the horse under him. He silently took off his rain-wet cloak and threw it away. He felt that the horse's speed was slightly faster. He took off his iron armor again.
, throw again.
Now that Xian Guoan had set an example, other Qing soldiers also followed suit. Armor, quivers, bows and arrows, horse bags... more and more things were thrown away. Except for weapons, everything seemed to have become a burden and a burden that delayed their escape.
The flag bearer looked left and right and saw more and more people passing him. He finally let go and threw away the flag of Xian Guoan. He lowered his head and urged his horse to run away.
The Ming army pursued them closer, but as the Qing army abandoned their armor, the two sides began to maintain a fixed distance again, running quickly one after the other.
The Qing army did not have any spare horses to replace. Although the Ming army was different, after a day of marching and fighting, the physical strength of the horses was also very exhausted. Both the chasing and fleeing sides had their own difficulties, and they were gritting their teeth and persisting. Who could
Nor willing to give up easily.
Ma Bao suddenly threw away the horse bag, including the dry food inside. Then the cloak, the mail, then the wet clothes, and finally even the helmet. He was shirtless and bald, with angry eyes and a brave man holding a big gun.
War general, he took the lead, showing his strong and tough character from head to toe.
Seeing that Ma Bao had already jumped out of several riding positions, the generals behind him also reduced their burdens. Some threw too much and were shirtless, and some who threw less were still wearing civilian clothes and helmets. But the speed was indeed faster.
, getting closer to the rear of the Qing army.
"Sir." The guard captain stood up while running and looked back, with a look of determination on his face. "In this humble position, I will lead the team to block for a while to ensure that your Excellency escapes safely." After saying this, without waiting for an answer from Guoan,
He waved his sword and shouted: "Brothers, fight with the enemy! Turn around and charge, trying to survive in death." After saying that, he slowed down his horse speed.
The personal guards were all Xian Guoan's confidants, who had received the most favors and were the most loyal. Upon hearing the captain's call, many people responded, slowed down their horses, and turned around.
A look of hesitation appeared on Xian Guoan's face, but then he clamped his horse's belly and continued to gallop forward. These personal guards were fighting to the death to buy some time for themselves to escape. But their fate was already determined, and there was no way that many people could stop them.
If there is a large group of cavalry from the Ming Army, if you stop yourself, wouldn't you be betraying their loyalty?
"Fighting to the death, but it's too late." A look of light flashed across Ma Bao's face.
The enemy stopped and was charging head-on. However, the distance was so short that it was obviously not enough to pick up speed from a stop. However, the Ming army always maintained the speed of impact. This advantage determined that the Qing army's counterattack was nothing more than a mantis attack.
Blocking the cart with your arms will only lead to your own destruction.
Cavalry hedging is all about speed. Whoever is slower is more likely to be hit. Ma Bao understands this truth, and so does the Qing army on the opposite side. But even though they pushed their horses desperately, they bravely faced the outnumbered Ming army.
up, but the speed disadvantage is still unavoidable.
"Kill the enemy!" "Kill the enemy!" Crazy shouts sounded almost at the same time. The two cavalrymen violently collided with each other. The collision of weapons, the shouts of killing personnel, the terrifying screams, and the neighing of horses were all heard.
Che is above this narrow avenue.
The tip of the spear from the opposite side flashed and was stabbed towards Ma Bao's chest. Ma Bao did not dodge, but used his horse power and arm strength to give a sharp blow with his spear. The two horses crossed each other, and he shot down the Qing soldiers with a horizontal movement of the handle of his spear.
Dismounted. The horse's speed slowed down slightly, but Ma Bao's power was not reduced. He roared and thrust out with a spear. The Qing soldiers on the opposite side swung their swords to block. It felt like they were hit on a stone. The force was unusually strong. The barrel of the gun was only slightly
He went astray and still pierced the enemy's left rib. Ma Bao picked and drew the gun, and the gun returned to his hand. Then he swung it violently and hit the shoulder and neck of another Qing soldier hard.
