Lord of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172 Ambush [-]

The night was like water, and the horseshoes were fierce. A cavalry squadron with blue uniforms, shields on their backs, half armor, Ming army-style iron helmets, and red cloaks galloped past in the distance.

This team is exactly Zhang Qiang's chasseur guards, and he is going to solve the problem of François' loyalty tonight.

This issue is urgent, because according to Sebastian's report, François may collude with the Portuguese to escape, and according to Zhu Dayou's news, it is possible that an elite team of Portuguese and Dutch sneaked into his territory To deal with Francois first, and then deal with that team, this is currently the safest thing for Zhang Qiang.

Those people can't afford to ride the big waves, Zhang Qiang thinks so.

There are 7 troops, and there are nearly 5000 troops around Jinhua Mansion. Jindong Town Camp has 1 Musketeers directly under it.

If so many troops were still captured by others, Zhang Qiang felt that this battle for hegemony was unnecessary, and he just wiped his neck and admitted defeat.

Not far ahead, he entered the mountainous area. He had already seen the militia patrols around him. After a friendly greeting, he continued to move forward. The closer he was to the arquebus factory, the more patrols there were. Come out and interrogate pedestrians at checkpoints one after another.

When they arrived at the mountain pass, a barracks of the guarding troops appeared in front of them. The officers of the barracks who had been notified brought a group of troops to pay their respects to Zhang Qiang, anxious to deal with François' affairs. After a few words, he left with the people.

Passing through several small valleys, the war horses galloped on a mountain plain again, and encountered a garrison camp. There are also some arquebus supporting factories here. The bridge, and the stone bridge for the troops, were left behind.

Passing through a dense forest and turning over a hillside, a winding road leads to the matchlock factory deep in the distant mountains. The road forks here, one side goes to the matchlock factory, and the other goes to the artillery factory.

The beacon towers on the top of the mountain are one after another to ensure that when these important factories are attacked, the guards outside can be notified in time for reinforcements. The guards turn on the road leading to the matchlock gun factory, which is another gourd-shaped terrain. Without even thinking about it, I rushed in.

At the mouth of the calabash, there is a guard of the general banner. When entering the middle of the calabash terrain, there is another guard of a hundred households. When passing through the bottom of the calabash, the remaining guard of a hundred households stationed on the top of the mountain waved to the guards. , but in the dark night, they could only hear shouts, but could not see specific movements. They just vaguely felt that someone was waving to them.

The sound of running water from the reservoir came, which meant that it was only five miles away from the arquebus factory. Except for a few natural villages with hundreds of people nearby, they were unwilling to move away, but this did not prevent the Jinhua Rebels from building here. The factory is left to them. There is a militia unit of one hundred households patrolling here. This militia unit is all the fighting forces gathered by these villages to defend the village and at the same time become the innermost auxiliary security force of the matchlock gun factory.

The terrain became more and more open, and the arquebus factory was established in a valley plain.

Except for a few hills and peaks that are less than [-] meters high occasionally, the rest of the place is plains and creeks. Because there are reservoirs to raise the water level, in fact, those creeks can already be called small rivers.

When passing through the two hills, Zhang Qiang suddenly felt so peaceful here.

Just when he was about to stop the guards and ask him to gather his thoughts, he saw the top of the hill and the grass on both sides of the hill ignited little by little fire.

As soon as he shouted, he saw the five chasseurs in the lead stumble and fell to the ground together, the horses let out an astonishing cry of grief.

"Not good, tripping the horse!" Zhang Qiang shouted instinctively.

The captain of the guards who led the team had already shouted, "Spread out, half of them dismount and line up, and the rest spread out to the two wings."

However, he shouted a little late. After these people were well-trained, the reaction was not unpleasant, but when the enemy was premeditated and prepared, he still recruited the enemy.

A row of black light flashed, and dozens of bows and arrows shot out from the grass, covering the chasseur guards that were just about to deploy. Although many soldiers had already taken their shields in their hands, more than a dozen people fell off their horses, either dead or injured .

Zhang Qiang quickly got off his horse, hid under the horse, and took off a short-fired gun from the hook of the horse with one hand. As a modern person of later generations, his trust in firearms is higher than that of other cold weapons. The level of trust is a hundred times higher, no matter how good the martial arts is, it can be defeated with one shot.

Just when he squatted down halfway to check the enemy's situation through the gap between the horses, a series of sparks flashed on the high ground on both sides, and the sound of firecrackers resounding like violently frying beans resounded through the high ground on both sides. The firepower is very beautiful, but it is also very vicious and kills people.

Before Zhang Qiang could react, some cavalrymen who were slow to dismount were hit by the fierce firepower, bleeding all over their bodies, screaming and falling off their horses. on the ground.

"Retreat,"

"Retreat,"

Zhang Qiang's captain of the guard rode alone on the horse, pulled out his saber, turned the horse's head, and shouted loudly to the guards, commanding them to move.

"kill--"

Dozens of jet-black figures rushed out from the grass on both sides, rushing past twenty or thirty guys with yellow or gray skin, screaming and wielding big knives and spears, and even some guys with short bows.

"Hold on for help,"

"Hold on for help,"

Zhang Qiang shouted continuously, the captain of the guard was lucky not to be hit by the first round of arquebus guns, but he made the soldiers move backwards, which would cause confusion among the soldiers. Kill them one by one with a matchlock gun.

This is Zhang Qiang's idea.

Someone commanded, and Zhang Qiang's voice again, those soldiers who were in chaos found their backbone at once, and the effect of the training was manifested. Many people used the corpses of their horses to get down, and returned fire with short-fired blunderbuss, blocking the enemy's nearby attack .

"Crack, snap, snap,"

The nearby short-fired guns can be said to be extremely powerful, and the cavalry wearing armor is also more powerful than those unprotected black ghosts and brown and gray enemies who do not know where they came from.

As soon as the counterattack started, twenty of the nearly fifty enemies were killed. Others rushed to the front, and the fallen cavalry drew their sabers and rushed forward. Groups of three and groups of five cooperated in combat.

There were about [-] cavalrymen who attacked, and the others either rescued their comrades, or hid behind the horses, took off the matchlock guns on the horses, and shot at the enemies who shot Zhang Qiang and the others with matchlock guns on the high ground flashing with flames. fight back.

The corpses of the enemies rolled down from the top of the slope. These enemies can be seen to be blond and blue-eyed, wearing Portuguese or Dutch uniforms.

There should be no need to guess who the enemy is.

Zhang Qiang was a little annoyed. If he knew it earlier, he would listen to Zhu Dayou and bring more people. Depending on the situation, the enemy would have at least two to three hundred people.

And because of being ambushed, in the first round, his guard lost 67 people.

At the same time Zhang Qiang was ambushed, in the sea off Taizhou, nearly [-] warships were brightly lit, and facing the sea breeze, they were heading towards the coast of Taizhou mightily.

Halfway through, fleets of dozens, dozens, hundreds, and more than 200 ships began to leave the brigade and turned around to attack other directions. A slightly larger ship between a small ship and a medium ship.

These ships include fishing boats, awning boats, centipede boats, small blessing boats, and cargo sampan offshore boats, as well as some deformed merchant ships. They are wielding big knives one by one, wearing miscellaneous clothes, holding The miscellaneous weapons were moving towards their destination.

After these ships left, there were nearly [-] ships in the entire fleet.

After traveling for a certain distance, two fleets were separated from this fleet. One fleet consisted of about [-] ships.
