Lord of Ming Dynasty

"What?" The two men were shocked, turned their horses' heads, ran up the nearby hills, and looked back.

I saw smoke and dust billowing from behind, the ground trembled and the mountains shook, and shouts were heard endlessly, and their scout cavalry fled back from afar.

"Withdraw troops, withdraw troops" Lin Chengcheng shouted loudly.

For a moment, the team of tens of thousands of people was in a mess, and the cavalry behind them all fled for the road, and traveled a mile away in the blink of an eye.

But many people were still wandering around in place, and the brigade of refugees following the bandits panicked in place, running all over the mountains and plains.

He Jin and Lin Chengcheng's old camp of the Chinese Army was engulfed in it, but they couldn't move because there were too many people.

At this moment, a vanguard cavalry team of dozens of Mongols rushed in and knocked down dozens of refugees in a row. They rode on horseback, skilled in archery, and shot and killed hundreds of refugees in the blink of an eye. But one or two riders who accidentally stumbled.

A large group of Mongolian cavalry appeared three miles away.

After reorganizing the team for a while, he let out a cry and rushed towards the old battalion of He Jin and Lin Chengcheng of the Chinese Army.

Of course, Zhang Qiang also found that the situation was taking a turn for the worse. The spearmen and archers quickly retreated and shrank into a group. Those refugees and bandits who rushed into the formation in a panic were killed without hesitation in front of the formation.

But Zhang Qiang didn't order the musketeers and the musketeers led by Wei Wuji to fire. He wanted to hide his strength.

1000 people guarded their positions. After hundreds of people died, the refugees fled around them one after another. The surrounding Mongolian cavalry had spread their wings, wrapping them all in and killing them with bows and arrows.

Chapter 34 Melee

The Mongols didn't notice Zhang Qiang's army, and there were some trees covering it, and many refugees fled in all directions.

After a burst of panic, seeing that there was no way to escape for a while, Lin Chengcheng and He Jin sent out the old battalion to hack and kill the refugees who were blocking their team, and at the same time gather those young and strong refugees who were capable of fighting, and gradually formed a resistance.

Send the guard cavalry to fight with the Mongolian cavalry to disrupt the opponent's attack.

The main forces of the two sides collided together in less than half an hour. The Mongolian cavalry could not deploy, so they could only run away to the two sides, harassing the rogue infantry, fighting with the rogue cavalry, and from time to time they rushed to demonstrate against the rogue infantry. Opportunity to kill some.

The two sides fought inextricably within two miles in front of Zhang Qiang's troops.

Although the Mongols were nimble, brave, and had the reputation of being invincible in the past, as rogues, they were able to fight against the Ming army for so many years, and they still had some skills, suppressing the ferocious attacks of the Mongolian cavalry.

But anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the bandits won't last long. Whenever there is a chance, a dozen or so people escape from the battlefield through the gaps of the Mongolian cavalry.

When it comes to escaping, no one is better than a rogue.

Finally, the Mongols broke through the resistance of He Jin and others. A group of Mongolian cavalry shouted and rushed to the hillside where Zhang Qiang and other Ming troops were. They were greeted by a team of spearmen led by Xuanyuan Longfei.

More than a dozen archers in the "Bouncing" spearmen took the lead in shooting arrows at the Mongolian cavalry. A few Mongolian cavalry were unprepared, and instantly they turned their backs on their horses. The momentum stopped, and the other Mongolian cavalry turned their horses and continued to attack Xuanyuan. Long Fei's team.

In the rugged hilly area, small trees blocked from time to time, and rocks disrupted the formation. The momentum of the Mongolian cavalry was not as good as before.

At this time, Xuanyuan Longfei, who was riding on a war horse, was dressed in a white robe and chain mail, raised his saber, and shouted: "Raise the shield".

The swordsmen who followed behind the pikemen in the queue took a step forward one after another, raised their shields to protect the pikemen, and heard a ding-dong sound, the arrows of the Mongols pierced the shields in the hands of the swords and shields one after another. There were only a few unlucky ghosts, who were shot at the cotton armor and cloth armor on their bodies. They grunted, shook their bodies, and then stood upright, letting the blood from the wounds stain their bodies, gritting their teeth for support.

"Javelin Throwing."

Xuanyuan Longfei raised his hand and shouted again. At this time, the Mongolian brigade had rushed to the spear team thirty steps away. The spearmen threw their javelins vigorously one after another. The Mongolian cavalrymen were hit one after another. He rushed over face to face, the target was too obvious, and at this time he was about to draw the bow and shoot the second wave of feather arrows, this time, he lost another dozen riders.

The rest of the Mongolian cavalry turned their horses and wanted to pass in front of the battle formation, but they ran in front of the sword players led by Du Ge, and the sword players threw their hatchets and javelins one after another. Gu Duo smashed down another five or six Mongolian cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry scattered, and were enveloped by bows and arrows thrown by Zhou Porridge's archers arrayed behind the spearmen and sword players.

More than 30 cavalry were lost at once, and only twenty or thirty cavalry were injured and escaped from the attack range of the Ming army's long-range troops on the Ming army's position lined up by Zhang Qiang.

This group of Mongolian cavalry was seriously injured, and they didn't dare to run back. They ran out from among the refugees and chased them away.

Cheers erupted from the Ming army's position, and Zhang Qiang showed a satisfied smile on his face. His palms were sweating for a while, and he was so nervous that he was about to fall off the horse when he was riding on the horse.

After all, this was the first time his troops faced the Mongolian cavalry in a field battle. Although only about [-] cavalry rushed over, Zhang Qiang was still worried that the soldiers in his hands could not bear the pressure in their hearts and collapsed. The musketeer team prepared to kill the Mongolian cavalry, but to kill those rebel soldiers who dared to throw down their weapons and escape, his own soldiers, because he knew that if he did not stop the escape, his troops would be like He Jin and Lin Chenggong. If the army collapses, then there is only one way for him to escape.

But Xuanyuan Longfei, Du Ge, and Zhou Porridge made Zhang Qiang very satisfied with their performance. They seemed childish, but they still blocked the Mongols' attack.

Although this army is not afraid of bandits, the Ming people are afraid of fighting the Qing army in the field. This is a fact that no one can change. At this moment, he knows that his army has persisted after a month of training. .

After that, some Mongolian cavalry did not come to harass his troops, but drove some refugees from all directions. The refugees circled around his troops, but they could not escape. There were more than 3000 refugees, including veterans and bandits who fled. The cavalry, and some soldiers on the outskirts of the rogues, most of them were refugees, they were pressed more and more towards Zhang Qiang's position, they wanted to get close but dared not, they wanted to escape, the outside was full of Mongolian cavalry galloping all over the place, He was shot and killed by the Mongolian cavalry from time to time, panicked.

The Mongols obviously wanted these rogues to disrupt Zhang Qiang's team, and then rush in to fight like they did with the old battalion of rogues, and wipe out Zhang Qiang's troops in the melee.

But they couldn't help it for a while. On the other hand, although Lin Chengcheng and He Jin's old camp was in chaos, their rogues didn't feel uncomfortable in the face of such chaos. Most of the Mongolian cavalry troops are old bandits who have resisted the Ming army for decades. They have long been accustomed to this kind of chaotic fighting and have gained experience in fighting.

But these refugees still caused some troubles to Zhang Qiang. They were forced by the Mongols to have no choice but to intensify their attack on Zhang Qiang's Ming army, trying to escape to the hillside.

Wei Wuji's musketeer unit was arranged dozens of steps behind Zhang Qiang's musketeer unit. With the support of the cavalry, they used musketeers to attack the refugees. Zhou Porridge's archer unit played the leading role in front. Next, he lost with the spear team and the sword player team, and shot wave after wave of bows and arrows into the middle of the refugee team.

Zhang Qiang didn't want this battle to be like this, but he had no choice. His troops were in the middle of the battle formations of the two sides, and they would be attacked by the Mongolian cavalry from time to time. The main targets of the battle were refugees.

Although the refugees were brave and seemed to be fearless of death, they couldn't get within thirty steps of Zhang Qiang's troops.

Whenever they approached, they were killed by javelins and bows and arrows.

At a critical moment, Zhang Qiang would divide them into four teams, each team's 25 musketeers fired a volley and killed a large area, and then retreated in a panic, trampling, pushing and shoving caused many casualties.

In the end, some rogue low-level officers who had seen the form clearly organized some vagrants to recoil towards the Mongol cavalry. The effect was not bad, causing a lot of damage to the Mongols. them.

Some rogue cavalry mixed in the middle took the opportunity to rush out, attracting the Mongolian cavalry to chase and kill them from a distance.

At this time, it is impossible to say that Chadel didn't know and didn't feel sorry for the loss of his subordinates. He could only recall his cavalry team and step up the siege of the old camp of rogues.

In the distance, four or five miles away, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Guangbi's Han army flags were watching from a distance, while slowly approaching the battlefield.

Liu Guangbi frowned, and asked cautiously: "My lord, if you do this, aren't you afraid that Mongolian Taiji will report to Lord Belle?"

Chapter 35 Rogue Squad

"Hmph, this old Taiji, a Mongolian barbarian, thought he was favored, but you also know that the last time he besieged Jinhua, because his tribe was massacred by the Jinhua guards, which damaged the vitality of the tribe, he was very angry with Lord Belle. Temper, Lord Belle has long disliked it. The reason why he sent his cavalry this time to support us in sweeping up the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in Zhejiang Province is because Lord Belle wants to teach him a lesson. If he does not repent, then wait until the end Let some tribal herdsmen be consumed."

Liu Guangbi nodded slightly, "So that's the case, then shall we just watch his troops suffer heavy losses like this? That old guy He Jin's rogue combat power is still not small, and he was killed by He Jin and Lin Chengcheng, or he was killed by them. If you escaped, it is your fault, my lord, when the time comes, those Mongolian Taiji will not let you go, even Li Chengdong will not be able to keep you."

Liu Liangzuo touched the stubble on his chin, "That's right, we can't make it too obvious, even though we want Lord Belle to see our thoughts, we can't make it too obvious, when the supervisory army reports it, we won't have a good time Well, you take the cavalry to help him, and I will lead the infantry to attack that group of Ming troops. If I can destroy a group of Ming troops, as well as old bandits like He Jin and the others, in the eyes of Lord Baylor, I can be regarded as Now that he is a hero, he should speak more confidently when the time comes, otherwise it would not be a good thing for Li Chengdong to be favored all the time."

He Jin and Lin Chengcheng also convened terribly. They had limited damage to the Mongolian cavalry, and they couldn't run if they wanted to. This is their capital, without these capitals, they can only be wiped out, and it is not so easy to make a comeback, especially when the Qing army is powerful and is about to defeat the Nanming court.

Lin Chengcheng shot a Mongolian cavalryman to death with an arrow, and approached He Jin, "Brother, you can't do this, hurry up, or you will be beheaded if you don't leave, that bastard Liu Liangzuo has already caught up."

While directing the cavalry around him to fight, He Jin said anxiously: "No, if we run away now, all the elite battalion will be gone."

Lin Chengcheng said anxiously: "Brother, as long as we are here, we can gather more people at any time. If we die, everything will be over."

He glanced at the distance, and there was smoke and dust billowing in the distance. Liu Guangbi had already led a hundred cavalrymen and two thousand Han army flag infantrymen to kill them, less than a mile away from them.

He Jin looked at it, "Alas—" sighed, turned his horse's head, and fled quickly with his cavalry guards. Lin Chengyang killed a bandit leader who was blocking his horse, and fled quickly with his own soldiers .

Seeing that He Jin and Lin Chengcheng ran away, Chadaier uttered a whistle, and in an instant hundreds of Mongolian cavalry gathered around and chased after them. The two sides ran and fought, and they had already ran for more than two miles in a short while.
