Lord of Ming Dynasty

50 meters, they are only 50 meters away from their own people.

The enemy cavalry was not reconciled, and they dispersed and chased them again.

45 meters, the enemy cavalry is only 45 meters away from them, as close as they are to their own.

40 meters, they are only 40 meters away from their own people, and the enemy cavalry is only 30 meters away from them.

Fearless, several chasing cavalry escaped from the pursuit of the enemy cavalry from the side, rushed in front of the enemy cavalry, stopped the enemy cavalry, and disrupted the pursuit of a large part of the enemy cavalry.

At 30 meters, Zhang Qiang yelled and fell down, and at the same time fit Long Wu to the ground.

Two salvos.

The enemy was shot by two rows, a total of 70 gunners, at a distance of less than 160 meters.

The charging arrows of fifty or sixty enemy cavalrymen were cut off, and those cavalry hunters who rushed up fell to the ground at the same time. They were hit by their own bullets.

"run,"

As soon as Zhang Qiang shouted, the remaining dozen firecrackers grabbed their wounded teammates, Emperor Longwu and others, ran hard, and ran into the first trench.

At a distance of 30 meters, they ran in one breath, and at this time, the firecrackers in the first trench had squatted down and continued to load.

More than a dozen firecrackers also joined their own team of firecrackers in the first trench, burying their heads in loading.

After the enemy's cavalry rushed forward for more than ten meters, they began to hesitate. The gunmen in the third row made a decision for them. More than 100 gunmen fired a volley and took their lives away.

The rest of the cavalry turned around and ran away, giving up entanglement with the chasseurs and attacking Zhang Qiang and the others.

But after the first row of firecrackers finished loading, they fired a volley at their backs. This time, they left more than 30 corpses and more than 20 horses.

Now, the situation is clear. The enemy left the corpses of at least 200 or [-] cavalrymen in front of Zhang Qiang's firecrackers, dozens of people were injured, and more than [-] horses were either killed in battle or lost their owners. They ran all over the mountains and plains. .

There were still more than a dozen infantrymen who fought with the enemy, and they also fled back to Zhang Qiang's position.

The other side was not very good, almost all of Emperor Longwu's bodyguards were lost there.

The servants of Xiao's family, clansmen, the people they brought with them, as well as the prisoners, war horses, and supplies originally captured by Zhang Qiang were all thrown to the enemy.

Where they camped, Ruan Jie looked at the messy camp with a cold face, and the retreating cavalry unit with low morale.

The cavalryman Qianhu knelt in front of his horse, "My lord, you are incompetent for your lowly position, you deserve to die for your lowly position, if you lose your troops, you will lose your generals."

Ruan Jie's face darkened, "How many troops does the enemy have?"

The cavalry Qianhu said: "My lord, according to my estimate, there are about four to five hundred troops, including more than 300 firecrackers and more than 100 other troops."

Ruan Jie looked at his team, there were 700 cavalry at full strength, and more than 300 cavalry who had just returned from a defeated battle. It was no effort to eat more than [-] gunfire soldiers.

Chapter 1 Eleven: Jedi Death War

In Pingnan County, Tang Dianfeng also suffered a failure.

"Beishan Pass was defeated, and two thousand soldiers died in battle."

"Dongshan pass is crumbling, almost surrounded, asking for reinforcements,"

"Nanshan Pass defeated the enemy, but the troops were running out, and all the captured soldiers fled."

"The enemy crossed the ferry and attacked the ferry from the side. The troops at the ferry withdrew to a hillside in the southeast of the county seat and stood firm."

This is the news that came back this morning.

What worried him even more was that Zhang Qiang's troops were intercepted by enemy cavalry dozens of miles away from the other side of a mountain. There were more than 3000 enemies.

Tang Dianfeng sat in the county office, looking at the beam of the county office in a daze, gritted his teeth for a while, and ordered to the hall: "Send someone to send an order to let Gu Qianhu withdraw and break out of the encirclement."

"Send someone to guide Gu Qianhu to break through,"

"Send someone to respond to the withdrawal of the ferry troops."

"Let Nanshan's troops retreat to the south of the county seat and stand firm."

"Wait, after you meet the troops at the ferry, go to join the troops in the south, and stick to the intersection in the southwest of the county, and don't allow the enemy to cross the thunder pond."

He stood up and said to all the generals present: "Order all the soldiers and horses in the city to go up to the city wall to prevent the enemy from attacking the city, and prepare for battle."

Turn your gaze back to Zhang Qiang.

The enemy is adjusting his troops to prepare to attack him, and he is also adjusting his troops to prepare for the enemy's attack.

"Infantry, gather twenty musketeers to guard the back of the hill to prevent the enemy from attacking from above."

"The cavalry protects the emperor."

"Drop 210 gunners to the west side, [-] gunners to the east side, and the remaining [-] gunners, according to the terrain of the hillside, arrange them in steps, fire in sequence, and follow my orders to fight."

After the arrangement was completed, he secretly found a cavalry hunter, "Go and tell Yang Yangyang Qianhu that you are not allowed to expose yourself without my order, and wait for my order before attacking."

"Yes, my lord." The Chaser ran across the mountains from the side to convey Zhang Qiang's order to Yang Yangyang.

Zhang Qiang thought about it, and said again: "Go and deploy 180 firecrackers and arrange them in the first-line trenches. The remaining [-] firecrackers are divided into two rows and arranged in the second-line hillside trenches."

Emperor Longwu sat under a boulder on the hillside, feeling terrified, it was too thrilling.

He was almost killed by enemy cavalry, or hit by a stray bullet from a salvo of musketeers, and he almost pissed his pants when he heard a stray bullet whizzing past his ear.

The prince on one side was about to cry, crying dryly. Maybe his life was bad. From birth to now, he had just enjoyed it for a few days before fleeing all day long.

As soon as the arrangement was made, Ruan Jie brought a large group of cavalry to a place 300 meters below the hillside where Zhang Qiang was. Two thousand cavalry were packed in darkness, giving people a visual impact.

Ruan Jie tentatively dispatched fifty or sixty cavalry to attack the front.

However, more than 20 people were knocked down by two volleys of thirty gunmen and repelled.

Ruan Jie didn't believe the evil, and roared angrily, "One hundred cavalry in the west, one hundred cavalry in the east, and one hundred cavalry in the front, attack me, come and lead 200 people around the ravine, abandon their horses and climb up the hillside from behind. Let them be surrounded and wiped out here."

Not to mention the 200 cavalry in the back, but the 30 cavalry in the front, attacking at the same time, crossing the field ridge, jumping over the small ditch, wading through a muddy paddy field, rushing up the grass, climbing up the hillside, none of these can stop their attacks much. Speed, but in the blink of an eye, the distance of [-] meters has already slipped under the horse's hoof, but when it is close to the distance of [-] meters, bad luck comes.

The gunshots like fried beans smashed their formation into pieces, and the cavalry fell off their horses one after another. Although there was a supervising team behind them, they did not dare to retreat before Ruan Jie gave an order and Ming Jin withdrew, but they had endured. I couldn't help running to one side to avoid the flying bullets.

However, nothing they could do could change their fate. When the smoke cleared, the nearest [-] cavalrymen were only about seven meters away from the gunfire soldiers in the front-line trenches, and none of them were alive.

It took a full half an hour, and all three hundred cavalrymen lay down on the hillside.

The entire battlefield suddenly became quiet, and neither side made a sound.

Maybe for a few minutes, maybe not more than a dozen seconds, different shouts erupted from both sides.
