Chapter 374

"My lord, there are too many strongholds of the rebels." Di Cang said to Liu Bian beside him, lying on the back of Shi Dui.

Liu Bian poked his head out and looked at Wubao in front of him. Several gunshots rang out, and Liu Bian quickly retracted his head: "Damn, these Wubao are very obstructive. If we remove them one by one, it will take a lot of time. If If we leave it alone, the thousands of us will not be able to reach the city of Langya, and we will have to be wiped out."

Song Ran crawled over with his butt pouted. He didn't like to use muskets, so he kept holding a saber and guarding Liu Bian's side.

"My lord, I have an idea. We can tie the dynamite pack to the horse, time it, and let the horse rush over."

Hearing his words, Liu Bian and Di Cang's eyes lit up.Liu Bian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good idea! Go prepare, use the captured war horses, our horses are precious."

A cup of tea was ready, Song Ran ordered his horses to be beaten hard, making them rush towards Wubao in front.

The sprinting horse was so fast that it was difficult for ordinary people to aim.Except for a few horses that ran in the wrong direction, four horses managed to get under Wubao, carrying a large amount of explosives.

"Boom boom boom" explosion sounded, and Fort Wu was directly bombed and collapsed, and many wounded and surviving rebels cried and wailed bitterly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Bian said: "It's good, but it's a waste of explosives. The explosives we brought are not enough."

Di Cang scratched his head and said, "Two more times, I should be able to calculate the approximate amount needed."

"That's all it takes."

While the two were talking, Song Ran ran over excitedly.Liu Bian praised him and asked him to take charge of the next tough battle.

The war horses neighed and a neat formation spread out on the plain.In the distance were the rebel infantry. After Liu Bian and the others pulled out several Wu forts, the rebel troops in Linquan Town chased them out.

With 1 cavalry fighting against more than [-] infantry, Liu Bian couldn't figure out where the confidence came from, so he rushed to fight him.

Wu Feng, the leader of the rebel army, is not afraid of these officers and cavalry. They only need to attract the officers and soldiers here. General Qiu Guang under Wang Fan has already led 4 people from the north to Liu Bian and the others. The 6000 people who argued were swallowed up.

Those who came were the main force of the rebel army, with the defected officers and soldiers from all over the country as their team.They are equipped with muskets, and can be supported by artillery fire.

"Defense!" Wu Feng shouted loudly.

As soon as the fighting starts on his side, Qiu Guang will launch an attack.

"My lord, I don't feel right. There are only so few people, not enough for the few of us to rush to kill." Di Cang said later.

Song Ran nodded and said, "Will there be an ambush?"

"Whether he has ambushes or not, eat them first." Liu Bian waved his hand to stop their discussion, and ordered the cavalry to prepare to charge.

"rush!"

"kill!"

Six thousand cavalry rushed straight at the rebel formation, and the two sides began to shoot at each other. The rate of fire of the muskets of the rebel side was not as fast as that of the officers and soldiers.The marksmanship was not as accurate as that of the officers and soldiers. After several rounds of mutual shooting, the soldiers in the first row basically fell down.

Wu Feng held up his knife and urged his subordinates to step forward to make up for them.When Liu Bian led the cavalry at a distance of 150 meters from the rebels, they separated and sprinted to both sides. After sprinting for about 50 meters, they turned their horses' heads, drew an arc, and came back.

Sprinting back and forth several times caused heavy casualties to the rebels.Liu Bian asked Song Ran and Di Cang to lead the men to continue the charge, and he rode Wu Zou and led 20 people to run to the rear.

"Sir, tens of thousands of rebels are coming up from behind!" the scout said hurriedly when he saw Liu Bian coming.

Following the direction he pointed, Liu Bian saw thousands of cavalry rushing in this direction.There were still a large number of infantry running behind, so he turned his horse's head: "Go tell Di Cang and the others to retreat, let's slip away."

Whether it is horses or cavalry, the rebel cavalry is inferior to the official army.Being walked around by the officers and soldiers, some people were shot off their horses from time to time.

Getting farther and farther away from the large troops behind them, they stopped and did not dare to continue chasing.Qiu Guang said angrily: "If we had their war horses, we would definitely not let them run away!
Keep chasing, even if you can't catch up, you still have to give him no time to rest. I want to see how long they can hold on.You pay attention to the distance, not too many casualties. "

He stopped where he was, and his cavalry continued to pursue Liu Bian.

Liu Bian's eyes were like a falcon's. Seeing that Qiu Guang was wearing armor, he was definitely not an ordinary soldier. He only brought a dozen or so horses on the spot.

Pointing to Qiu Guang's position, he said to Di Cang, "You and Song Ran will lead people to continue walking them, and I will lead people to kill that rebel leader."

Without giving Di Cang and Song Ran a chance to speak, he led a dozen people out of the main force and headed straight for Qiu Guang from the left.

Their horses ran at an extreme speed, and rushed past the blocking rebel cavalry in an instant.Before Qiu Guang could understand, Liu Bian arrived in front of Wu Zai alone, relying on Wu Zai's super speed.

His subordinates raised their guns and fired. Liu Bian hid at the side of Wu Zai and dodged the bullet.He drew out the Longquan sword and chopped off Qiu Guang's head with one blow.The cavalry behind him had also arrived and killed Qiu Guang's guards.

Seeing Qiu Guang being killed, the rebel cavalry chased after him frantically.Liu Bian knew that there was still a brigade of infantry approaching, so he ran south with them.

"There are too many rebels. It is difficult for us to rush over to meet the large army. Why don't we run to Pingqu first, and we should meet reinforcements on the way." Liu Bian said, pointing to the south.

After running for more than a dozen miles with the crowd, the rebel cavalry behind them were still chasing after them. Although people were constantly shot off their horses, they continued to chase without fear.

"Damn, it looks like he killed a high official." A cavalryman said.

Liu Bian smiled: "The tighter the chase, the better. Whether it's the new army or our people, they shouldn't be far away."

Seeing Liu Bian beheading the enemy general and the rebel cavalry chasing him, Song Ran chased him with more than 5000 cavalry.The distance between the two sides has been shortening, but they chased Liu Bian and the others as if desperately.

This made Song Ran very anxious. If Liu Bian was in danger, he didn't know how to explain it.

So he urged his horse, surpassed everyone, and rushed towards the rebel horse team.

Di Cang was also very anxious and urged his subordinates to hurry up.He and Song Ran rode in front, avoiding the bullets fired by the rebel cavalry, trying to catch up with Liu Bian quickly.

"There's a village ahead, let's go in." Liu Bian pointed to the village ahead and said to the cavalry beside him.

Their war horses have already begun to spit, and they won't last long.He firmly believed that Song Ran should not be far away, so he wanted to use the village to delay time.

As long as Song Ran arrives and there are more people than the rebel cavalry, they can be eliminated.
