Lord of Ming Dynasty

This is the hinterland of their own territory, and there are thousands of troops in front and behind. Even if these people can eliminate themselves and others, they cannot escape the siege. They can wait for the rescuers who will come to treat their injuries. They can choose to remain silent. There is no questioning them, they have done their part.

"Kill ah-"

An even more tragic sound sounded, and two or three lightly wounded who were still able to move jumped up vigorously and rushed towards the Portuguese cavalry who passed by them. , Biting the horse's hoof, the horse suffered pain, and kicked him away, the violent horse had a bad effect.

The Portuguese cavalry on their horses were overturned to the ground, and the formation was confused.

Slowed down the speed of enemy impact.

The soldiers who fired in front wounded two cavalrymen and one horse.

These few wounded bought time for Zhang with their actions and caused damage to the enemy.

Zhang Qiang's eyes were red now, and he shouted, "Shoot and kill these foreign devils."

"clap clap"

Fierce gunshots rang out, and seven or eight Portuguese cavalry who charged again fell off their horses and were trampled to death by the horses of their companions behind.

"Fire."

Zhang Qiang shouted again.

The second group of twenty soldiers then fired, killing or wounding another seven or eight of the enemy cavalry.

More than half of the enemy cavalry was killed and wounded, and there were still a lot of enemy cavalry left, and the enemy's arquebus soldiers who came from both sides also opened fire.

Chapter 178 Ambush [-] (Defeating the Enemy)

The situation has reached the most critical moment.

The first group is loading ammunition, and the second group has just finished firing the ammunition in the gun.

The enemy's musketeers had rushed up like a tide, bullets were crackling everywhere, dust and turf splashed around them together, and the stray bullets made three or four chasseurs who hadn't hid screamed and fell to the ground.

Zhang Qiang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. At a critical moment, he yelled, "Use the bayonet!"

"Cavalry charge," he yelled.

"Hula"

"Boom--"

The chasseurs drove their horses from behind the hillside not far behind and quickly appeared on the top of the hillside.

"Come on, destroy them."

The new captain of the guard shouted, raised his saber, shouted, and then took the lead in charging.

At this time, the Portuguese cavalry, who had been flustered for a while, also recovered, and they began to retreat the whole team to make way for the arquebus gunners to make way and shoot.

However, within a short breath, the chasseurs rushing down from this hillside were like locusts crossing the border, directly knocked away the arquebus gunners in front, harvested a few Portuguese and Dutch heads in the middle, and then rushed directly behind the Portuguese cavalry , and swung the saber in his hand a second time.

"clang clang"

"clang clang clang clang"

The saber hit a stream of sparks on the Portuguese armor, and also drew blood strips from their abdominal cavity. The chasseurs who couldn't hold back rushed up the opposite hillside, and then began to disperse left and right, preparing for the next attack.

Just after running out of the woods, Captain Pete, who was holding a short musket and ready to charge with the matchlock gunners, was stunned.

The situation below is too tragic, not many were directly hacked to death, but quite a few were killed, and even more were injured. They were frightened out of courage, and too many escaped. Without two legs, he can't outrun the cavalry.

"Kill—" Zhang Qiang rushed down from the hillside with the rest of the chasseurs, crashing into the loose arquebus team.

The arquebus gunners who had just been attacked by the cavalry obviously hadn't found their rhythm and didn't know what to do. They hurriedly fought, but the arquebus guns with bayonets were longer than their hands, and they were like spears.

The cavalry musketeers lined up in six rows were like tigers going down the mountain at this moment, and they bumped into each other. The bayonets on their guns were made by Zhang Qiang according to the shape of later generations, and they were much longer and more professional than the daggers in the hands of the Portuguese.

With one stab, the armored ones are okay, but the unarmored enemies are injured and fall to the ground immediately, and they lose their combat effectiveness even if they are not dead, because when the bayonet is pulled out, the blood cannot stop.

"kill--"

The second wave of chasseurs arquebuses collided with them. With one charge, they defeated more than 30 Portuguese arquebuses who were still gathered together.

The cavalry turned around for the second time, and a team of 15 cavalrymen went directly after the cavalrymen. The rest of the cavalry attacked the scattered arquebus gunners again from behind, and the cavalry captain, he watched Captain Pete and rushed over. I woke up.

"Pa—" He fired a shot, but missed in a panic.

The cavalry captain held his saber aloft, and flew over at high speed. The horse's hooves turned up patches of turf on the grass, stirring up clouds of dust, which could also be seen in such a night.

"what--"

"I surrender--"

Pete threw away the short-fire gun and knelt on the ground immediately. However, the cavalry rushing at high speed could not stop immediately. The cavalry captain saw the flash of the knife, and a head, with the help of the horse, easily fell from Pete's neck. was cut down.

"vomit--"

Tian Bin watched from not far away, and immediately felt a bad appetite, lying on the ground and throwing up, but the pirates who had just been persuaded by her ran away and fled all over the forest.

"Woo-woo--" a loud horn sounded in the distance.

The brigade of cavalry rushed over, and Zhang Qiang saw Zhu Dayou arriving with the cavalry from Jinhua Mansion.

He used a matchlock gun to post the ground, watching the cavalry chasing the enemy's remnants and defeated generals all over the mountains and plains.

A squad of thirty cavalry squad turned and ran towards him.

Zhu Dayou got off his horse and said, "My lord." Then he knelt down in front of Zhang Qiang and stopped talking.

Zhang Qiang, who was covered in blood, looked at Zhu Dayou's trembling body, and didn't know whether to punish him for being late in rescue, or to tell him that he was wrong, that he should listen to him, and bring more people. It will not be so passive.

Looking around the battlefield, the Chasseurs are still chasing and suppressing the remnants of the enemy.

However, his elite chasseur guards suffered heavy losses. The sudden ambush and his carelessness caused these passionate young people, the most loyal guards to him, to lose their lives in vain.

According to Zhang Qiang's rough estimate, there will be no more than seventy people left in the end.

Most of the seriously injured will definitely die, and the slightly injured may not be able to serve as soldiers again. They have suffered severe physical and mental injuries. Even if they are cured, they can only be arranged to serve as militia captains in the counties under Jinhua Prefecture, or Some subordinate yamen have taken up some positions within their ability.

They are all professional elite soldiers, maybe they can be sent to serve as instructors in the boot camp.

And his own cavalry guards must be reorganized.

It must be expanded, and can be expanded to 800 people, a battalion, 200 elite hunting cavalry, 200 cavalry, of which more than [-] real cavalry, cold weapon cavalry units, with long spears and sabers; more than [-] horse musketeers, equipped with arquebus and Sabers and short firearms are not very useful on this battlefield.

Although the five short-fire guns can guarantee the continuity of the firepower point, the range is too short, and 50 meters is almost harassing, and it has no effect on the enemy at all.
