Ma Gui and Gao Jue finally led their men to fight out of the Mongolian Chinese Army camp. Although Qataiji was lucky enough to survive because of the poor power of the three-eyed gun Gao Jue brought from Desheng Fort, he was still subjected to
He was injured. He was shot in the left shoulder socket and had to be treated quickly.
The Anda military order he received was only to repel the enemy. Since the Ming army had retreated in fear, he had completed the task. In addition, he also had to guard against a sneak attack by Ma Taishi who was actually three hundred miles away.
, Qataiji just shouted a few times behind the Ming army and then withdrew his troops. He ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and prepare for the Ming army to come again, while he hurried to deal with the injuries.
The three-eyed gun is loaded with complicated ammunition, which can be steel balls, small pieces of cast iron, crushed iron sand, etc., or lead bullets. No matter which type it is, it cannot be ignored: iron bullets may cause tetanus, and lead bullets are extremely easy to cause.
Poisoned, Qia Taiji's injury was in a position like the shoulder socket, so naturally he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Ma Gui and Gao Jue fled ten miles away. After confirming that no pursuers were following, they hurriedly counted the casualties. As a result, the Ma family had 21 fewer soldiers, and the Gao family had even fewer cavalrymen.
Fifty-three people were killed, and the casualty rate was quite high in this era. Both of them felt annoyed and sad at the same time.
"The enemy general just now was Qataiji, known as the best master in Mongolia. He was known as 'Little Zhebie' when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. I love him for his loyalty and bravery, and adopted him as my adopted son. I will always serve him when I go to battle.
On your side... the straight mother-in-law really has some skills!" Ma Gui spat hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood-stained spit, and then said: "But Deputy Gao Tuan, what happened to your blunderbuss? I've seen it.
You fired a cannon at such a close distance, and you said that this scourge of Chatterji was going to be killed on the spot, so why did you turn around and get up again?"
Gao Jue had always been curious about this, so he took out the three-eyed gun and looked at it. Then he made a loud "poof" and said angrily: "This broken gun... General Ma, look at it." He handed over the three-eyed gun.
Give it to Ma Gui.
Ma Gui took it and looked at it with an angry look on his face: "Where is this broken gun made? In order to prevent the barrel from exploding, this broken gun has thickened the inner wall of the barrel - it is not easy to explode the barrel, but in this way
, the charge is too short, I'm afraid it won't be half as much, so I only pack this small amount of gunpowder. It's not powerful enough to kill people, I'm afraid it won't even be able to kill a bird! Bah! What a blast!"
Gao Jue smiled bitterly and said: "I'm afraid this thing shouldn't be used as a firearm at all, it's just used as a mace. But having said that, this kind of thing is already considered good, at least it won't explode at will. My eldest young master
This time I came to inspect defense with the Holy Will, and I paid special attention to firearms, but the three-eyed gun that exploded was really... alas!"
"Oh, what a good opportunity..." Ma Gui shook his head helplessly: "If we can kill Chaterji, it will be like cutting off Anda's arm. The old prisoner will definitely be so angry that he storms Desheng Fort.
, What a pity, what a pity!”
Gao Jue also had a wry smile on his face: "What should we do now? The losses we have caused to Anda are probably nothing. Whether Anda will send troops to attack the city during the day is still in doubt. However, our own casualties are not small.
This group of knights under my eldest young master cost the boss a lot of money to get them, and the effort was no less than the money. This time I lost more than fifty numbers to him in one battle, and I don’t know how to explain it when I go back.
."
Ma Gui actually feels more distressed than Gao Jue, because in his opinion, although the cavalrymen under Gao Jue can be seen to have been rigorously trained and have a good foundation, they have not gone through many battles after all, so it is easy to replenish them. But his own
The top soldiers are different. They are all selected from veterans. Many of them are only in their twenties, but they are veterans who started as child soldiers at the age of thirteen or fourteen and have been fighting for more than ten years.
He had just been included in the elite soldiers. It would really hurt if one of these elite soldiers died, let alone losing more than twenty in one go!
He only had a total of 300 troops on hand. If he kept losing like this, it wouldn't take more than a few battles, and he would be done with the troops.
The two of them frowned and sighed. After a while, Ma Gui said: "It's almost dawn. Let's go back to the pass quickly. Otherwise, if we really want to launch an offensive, Zhenqiang Fort is too close, and we may be attacked."
If we treat it as a goal, then it will be difficult to handle.”
Gao Jue agreed, and then said: "I thought about it, although the loss we caused to Anda is not big, but Anda doesn't seem to have been knocked on the door in the past few years, right? Maybe he really can't bear it.
By attacking the city, in this case, can we also help Ma Zongrong attract the attention of the Northern Lu?"
"It should definitely be calculated, but it's hard to say what the effect will be yet." Ma Gui thought for a while and said: "What you just said is correct. Although the northern captives have often returned without success when they went south to plunder in recent years,
They were even beaten back by our Xuanda armies, but their actual losses were not huge, especially the Chinese army led by An Da was attacked by surprise, which seems to have never happened before..."
When he said this, he frowned again and said hesitantly: "But this old prisoner is a cunning and cunning man. You see, when we stole the camp this time, he only sent his own soldiers to attack us.
, the camps nearby were not moved at all, I thought, a person like him... really doesn't seem like a leader who would raise an army out of anger, our abacus may have been too successful from the beginning."
After all, Gao Jue was not a serious Ming army general, so he couldn't express his opinion on this issue. He just responded vaguely, and then said: "No matter what, we have tried our best."
"Yeah, let's do it all... Hey, why are there Tartars in front of us?" Ma Gui said, suddenly startled, and pointed forward.
Gao Jue quickly raised his eyes and saw a Mongolian cavalry running towards them from the direction of Zhenqiang Fort. He couldn't help being surprised. He was about to shout "enemy attack", but he was stunned again and hesitated:
"That's not right, General Ma. Look at them. They don't look like they are here to cause trouble for us. They look like... they have suffered a defeat?"
Ma Gui took a closer look and saw that the Mongolian cavalry in front of him only numbered two to three hundred. Most of them had broken leather armor and disheveled hair. Many of them were injured at first glance. Some even had no weapons and only had one weapon.
The horse's bow hangs on his back.
With this look, it was obvious that he couldn't be trying to bring bad luck to them.
"This is a defeated army." After all, Ma Gui was a "veteran" who had been fighting for several years, and he said with certainty: "And it was a miserable defeat."
Gao Jue actually fought with the eldest master of the Gao family before, but it was mainly with Japanese pirates, mainly small-scale battles. He didn't know much about the war in northern Xinjiang, so he just said in surprise: "They are...
Where did you lose the battle? Why did you come from the east..."
When he said this, he suddenly looked at Ma Gui with wide eyes, and Ma Gui also looked at him with wide eyes.
The two looked at each other and suddenly exclaimed in unison: "Mr. Ma?"
