Lord of Ming Dynasty

In the afternoon, the battle ended, and this battle ended in a tragic victory for Zhang Qiang's side.

Zhang Qiang also killed many enemy cavalry in this battle. At the end of the battle, he no longer commanded, but led two cavalry hunters to hunt and kill the enemy cavalry.

An hour later, everyone returned to the previous camp.

Except for the dead and half-dead wounded, there is no complete person here.

The tents were burning, the food was burning, and the horses ran away completely.

Many prisoners were killed and injured, and the rest all ran away.

However, many prisoners were brought back from this battle, which could fully make up for the previous losses.

Yang Yangyang ran to Zhang Qiang's side with a black face, white teeth, and bloodstains all over his body, "My lord, the casualties and losses of the enemy and ourselves have been counted."

"Read it."

Zhang Qiang sat on an intact chair in the open space of his burnt tent and said leisurely looking at the sky.

"This time our army killed 400 people and seriously injured 250 people," he looked up at Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang said slowly: "There is no one who is immortal in war."

Yang Yangyang had no choice but to read on again, "Most of the supplies were lost, and three hundred taels of grain survived, but there was not much loss in silver taels. In addition to the original ones, there were also seized taels, a total of 17 taels."

"The enemy was killed and wounded. The enemy killed 200 people, seriously injured 700 people, captured 1000 people, more than 30 people were slightly injured, and more than 100 people escaped. In addition, we captured the enemy's chief general, Ruan Jie."

"In addition, more than 700 enemy war horses and more than 600 dead horses were captured."

"The enemy's war horses are all good war horses, some are even high-headed war horses of foreigners, there are about 100 horses, some are excellent Hequ war horses, there are about 700 horses, others have more than [-] Mongolian war horses, and the rest They are all ordinary war horses from the north and south."

Zhang Qiang stood up, "The harvest is good."

Yang Yangyang said: "We have recovered more than 50 Ming army horses that we captured earlier."

"How much did our war horse lose?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Yang Yangyang said: "The cavalry lost more than 180 people, the horses lost 230 horses, and the remaining horses were injured more than 50 horses."

Zhang Qiang smiled wryly, "This time I disabled my team."

Yang Yangyang said: "That's right, even your personal guard cavalry, chasseur cavalry, more than half were killed and injured this time, only 45 survived and were able to fight, and the rest were all dead. But it was they who caused the enemy's cavalry to die." Otherwise, with my 1000 cavalry, I would not be able to defeat the enemy's remaining [-] cavalry."

Zhang Qiang put his hands behind his back, "After this time, go back and expand the chasing cavalry into two hundred households. One hundred households is equipped with matchlock guns, long spears, and sabers, and the other is equipped with bows, sabers, and short-fire guns. The total force is 500 people."

Longwu Zhu Yujian came from a distance under the guard of the Chaser, covered his nose, and carefully stepped over the corpse on the ground, "Zhang Aiqing, it's all my fault. If I travel all night, I won't be surrounded by the enemy here."

Long Wu was still very sober, and at the same time he was very shrewd. At this moment, he knew that there was nothing he could do except apologize. He knew it was because he wanted to rest, which caused Zhang Qiang to lose his troops.

A dark man rushed out from the thick smoke, crying and shouting, "Your Majesty."

"Who?"

"Escort." The two remaining guards drew their sabers and stood beside Long Wu.

He Kai's sharp eyes said, "Wait a minute, it's Mr. Su, the Grand Scholar of Su."

Zhang Qiang looked at Su Guansheng, who looked like a beggar, and couldn't help sighing, "Historical figures are hard-fated, such a tragic battle, such a sudden attack, this guy is still sitting and calculating other people's dreams without any precautions." At that time, he was able to survive the enemy's cavalry charge, and he was not found when the enemy's cavalry came back to organize the camp later."

admired.

After some courtesies, Emperor Longwu said with lingering fear: "Zhang Aiqing, we should hurry on our way, we must hurry back to the army, if this continues, the enemy will not send people to attack us again."

"okay."

Zhang Qiang also knew that he could not fight another battle at this moment. The remaining 200 gunfire soldiers were all wounded, a few infantrymen were lying on stretchers with serious injuries, and more than 300 cavalrymen were also covered with wounds. If you have the heart, send another 400 cavalry to wipe them all out.

Half an hour later, this welcoming team began to march at an accelerated pace.

And when Yang Yangyang at the back of the palace drove his war horse to jump over a tent, he saw a female corpse inside the open tent, with scattered clouds and temples, lying on the ground so quietly, all her clothes stripped off, she thought she had been harmed before.

He stared at the female corpse, closed his eyes, mourned for a few seconds, and waved to the guards beside him, "Let's go."

On the battlefield, he couldn't protect these women, and he couldn't abandon his lord. His army went impulsively for a woman and ruined his own life. how is it?

And Xiao Yuanwai also paid the price for his half-heartedness.

Fan Shaozu, who was tens of miles away, didn't know that the cavalry he sent caused great damage to many people, and at the same time the entire army was wiped out.

He had just arrived at Gantang, and had rested here for an hour. Following Frey's suggestion, he planned to take a rest before continuing on his way.

Those Portuguese musketeers who stayed in the castle all day had not experienced such a long journey. They were more accustomed to sitting on a boat and waiting for land rather than testing the thickness of their feet on land.

Chapter 1 Fourteen

With the captured horses, the horses were loaded with supplies and wounded, and many soldiers were also tied to the horses, pulled by the cavalry, and hurried on their way.

After driving fifty miles in one breath, they arrived at a village. It was just after dark that they stopped walking.

People trapped horses and had to stop and set up camp to rest.

Because it is a village, many people lived in bamboo buildings and thatched huts, and even Emperor Longwu and Zhang Qiang lived in brick and earth huts.

"Go find a few doctors, treat the wounded, find something to eat, find some village names, distribute some of the dead horse meat to them, help make some broth, and replenish energy for everyone." Zhang Qiang Said to Yang Yangyang.

Baihu said to the scouting cavalry around him: "Go and search the surrounding ten miles, and return in an hour."

Not far away from them, after turning over two mountains, on the other mountain road, Gu Yuesheng took a simple map in his hand and carefully examined it. Less than five miles behind, five thousand Qing soldiers hurried on their way. Already very close to them.

Gu Yuesheng patted the map, and lamented: "It would be great if those fifty cavalry didn't go back. I have another fifty cavalry in my hand, and now he only has one hundred cavalry, and these cavalry are all on horseback. Rude horses and pack horses are useless in fighting the Qing soldiers, and those inferior horses can only be used as riding horses, and let them charge, I’m afraid I don’t know where they can go.”

He shook his head, patted his forehead, and then said to the thousands of households who followed him: "In a while, everyone will divide up and ambush at the intersection, Jin Qi, you take your hundreds of troops and the captive soldiers from here." Go around, then go over the mountain, give me a stab in the ass of the enemy, and make them mess up."

On the map, the junction where they are now is like the bottom of a "V", and the enemy comes from the right side of the "V", they are going to the left, there is a big mountain in the middle, the road has a fold here, and a detour Turning around, Gu Yuesheng asked Jin Qi to go to two parallel intersections, climb over the mountain, and attack the other side.

He could only do so, for the enemy had twice their strength.

And he didn't want to lose too many troops here, he was going to rescue Zhang Qiang and the others.

At night, the battle here is in full swing. Both sides dispatched troops with cold weapons, fighting hard in the dark night. Gu Yuesheng stood with his hands behind his back in the forest and mountains in the dark, watching the fight below. Behind him, A pair of slender scholar's hands were twisted together, almost oozing blood.

He is also afraid of the first command of such a large-scale battle.There is Tang Dian Fengdoudi in the front, he is only the executor, although he has some command, he is just leading the soldiers to fight. Although there are more enemy troops than now, he does not need to take responsibility, he just needs to defend, and continue to lead the soldiers to fight. In the end, he still failed to hold on, and had to lead people to break through and retreat, and returned to Pingnan County. Of the thousands of people he took, only a few hundred returned. This made him very hurt, and he felt that he was incapable. With the heavy responsibility of reinforcements, he couldn't help being careless.

"My lord, the enemy's rear is in disarray," a cavalryman ran up and shouted to him.

Gu Yuesheng rode on the horse, pulled out a pair of meteor hammers from behind, "Attack, the firecrackers advance."

"Papa papa," the intense gunshots echoed in the night sky.
