The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 46 Chase Battle
Song Pengfei put on the mountain armor left by Zheng Guochang. At first, he was giving in to Hanzi, but later he found that Hanzi was too big and the mountain armor seemed to be too big for him, so Xiao Song did his part.

Huang Han's team was roughly equivalent to two-rider armored servants. The servants who were not good at riding at first improved their riding skills quickly after hundreds of miles of long-distance galloping.

This reason is the same as learning to drive. As long as you have the courage to drive for a few days and run three to five thousand kilometers, the rookie will immediately transform into a veteran driver.

Those who can ride horses in the family are not good at riding because they rarely had the opportunity to ride war horses in the past.

This time, they rode two horses and ran for hundreds of miles. The accumulated time on horses may have exceeded the sum of their previous riding time. It would be strange if their riding skills did not improve.

After leaving the capital and running for half a day, Huang Han's men and horses traveled seventy or eighty miles and saw that it was too late to choose a half-burned village for the night.

Huang Han was still the same, telling the history and national heroes to Paoze around the bonfire, and finally taught everyone three or five new words before changing the guard and checking the night to prepare for bed.

The next day, they still got up early and hurried on their way. After running for more than a hundred miles, a team of slave sentry horses unfortunately encountered this team of armored servants.

This is a team of sentry horses who specialize in scouting the location of Liu Zhilun's army. There should be eleven of them, but now there are only eight of them, because three of them have already returned to report the military situation of the scouting.

When he came to the capital, in order not to cause trouble, Huang Han was busy on his way, ignoring Jiannu's sentry.

That's because there is a civil servant who has no fighting power in the team. If Zheng Guochang was shot dead by Jiannu because of the blindness of swords and guns during the melee, wouldn't the painstaking arrangements these days be in vain?

On the way home, Huang Han was relaxed, and with 56 itchy subordinates, of course he would not let go of any targets that could be attacked.
Song Pengfei, who had Shan Wenjia, took advantage of his good riding skills, and took Yang Danian Xiaoqi, who had become his good friend, to investigate carefully in the first three miles of the big team. Song Pengfei was the first to see the three sentinel horses .

Song Pengfei was not reckless, he knew that there should not be three people on the sentry horse of the Houjin Army, so he didn't startle the snake, and immediately asked Yang Danian to go back to report the situation, and he continued to follow with four horsemen.

Yang Danian is a veteran returning from injury. He had the ability to decapitate his head. On the day he returned, he was appointed as a small flag officer. Huang Han was short of men and could not fill his small flag. First, he gave four servants who were good at riding to him command.

Yang Danian happily came to report that there was a small team of Jiannu to fight ahead. After hearing the news, all the soldiers were inexplicably excited.

It is known that there are no large troops of the Hou Jin army nearby, and there are no cities occupied by Jiannu, so it is completely free to chase those enemy sentry cavalry.

It's just that under normal circumstances, sentry cavalry are thieves. In order to prevent Jiannu from escaping, Huang Han decided to use the advantage of numbers to chase and intercept the enemy cavalry with mobile warfare.

Huang Han divided the troops into three echelons. Hanzi took 15 people to bypass from the right side, and he took 15 people to go through a small forest from the left side and inserted behind the enemy. Yang Danian led the rest to prepare for the frontal attack. Build slaves.

When Yang Danian and Song Pengfei led 23 people to bump into Jiannu head-on, the three enemy sentry horses who found out that they were outnumbered retreated immediately, and there were two groups of five Jiannu behind them who also fled in a hurry.

The Ming army chased Jiannu and ran. Of course, they greeted Jiannu with feather arrows during this period. Since Yang Danian and others were better equipped than Jiannu, and the number of troops was several times that of the enemy army, it greatly made up for the gap in combat skills.

In the chasing battle, the Ming army successfully shot and injured two Jiannu. Although many people on their own side were also shot by feather arrows, they all learned their lesson.

The servants who closely followed Jiannu were all wrapped in steel, and everyone pulled down their armor. No one was unlucky to be shot in the eye by Jiannu, so there were no injuries, and all of them were minor injuries.

The remaining Jiannu reacted immediately when they saw that the Ming army was chasing after them. The two of them began to flee in groups. The group was bitten by Yang Danian and more than [-] people, and finally shot into hedgehogs.

Another group was bumped head-on by more than a dozen people including Hanzi. The Hanzi who had been prepared for a long time threw a spear and nailed one person to death. Another Jiannu infantry had seven or eight feathered arrows in the body, and was finally killed. Yuan Siming, the little banner officer, brandished a machete and caught up with the decapitated melon.

Yuan Siming is a Ming cavalry soldier who has served for five years. After following Huang Han, because of his outstanding cavalry skills, he can rush to the front row every time he fights.

He has already shared with four of his comrades the decapitation skills of a first-level Jiannu vest and a second-level banner man. Today, he chased up and cut off the head of this Jiannu, and the credit will be divided into at least half of the level.

When Huang Han came out of the woods, he found the two Jiannu who were running away in a panic. After a burst of lasing, the two Jiannu went to see the great shaman.

Eleven unarmored warriors cleaned the battlefield, and even Huang Han and 46 cavalry chased the remaining two Jiannu. Obviously, they were two vests, and their riding skills were very good, and it took a while for two horses to switch Really did not catch up.

Later, these two panicked vests fled to the camp of Liu Zhilun's army. Thousands of Ming troops were camping and burying pots for cooking. When the guard in charge found Jiannu and immediately issued an enemy attack alarm, Liu Zhilun's troops There was a sudden panic, and some rotten boys immediately started to take advantage of the chaos and run away.

The two Jiannu found out that there were tens of thousands of Ming soldiers in front of them, so of course they didn't dare to run into them, so they could only choose to go around to the side.

It was just a little delay. Huang Han and a dozen cavalrymen with first-rate riding skills arrived. Seven or eight arrows pierced through the air. The two Jiannu who were already exhausted were hit by arrows again, and their horse speed slowed down. .

Huang Han rushed forward and chopped off the head of a Jiannu with a single knife. Liu Fenyong, the flag officer, also caught up with a Jiannu.

After a long-distance pursuit, Huang Han found that only Song Pengfei was following closely behind among his fellow servants, and the rest, including Hanzi, were behind.

It seems that the professional counterparts are completely different. Even if they were only paid by the Ming army in the past, their riding skills are not comparable to those of the first-timers on the battlefield.

After observation, Huang Han found that most of the corporal chiefs and small banner officers in the Ming army camp were not just pretending, and their combat skills were indeed superior to ordinary soldiers.

It is possible to worry that these corporal chiefs and small banner officers who are not officers but soldiers will not be able to convince the crowd if they can't even beat the few soldiers they lead. , Those who can hit the top position.

Ordinary battalion soldiers do their part in order to become corps commanders and small flag officers, because becoming a member means paying an extra salary, so these grassroots soldiers rely on their strength to get to the top instead, and they are useless.
