Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 160

While Wu Sangui was chasing northward angrily with his cavalry, he discovered that a camp had been set up on the road, blocking his way to the north.

"Shut up!"

Wu Sangui's subordinates reined in the horse one after another, causing the horse to stop slowly, and finally stopped a mile away from the camp.

Looking at the crude camp in front of him, Wu Sangui heaved a sigh of relief, finally caught up with these rebels.This has been chased for more than 100 miles. If I can't catch up, maybe I have to go back.

After looking at it for a while, Wu Sangui waved his hand, and under the command of a general, a cavalry force of 50 rushed up, put the locks in their hands on the fence of the camp, and then rode back one after another.With the stretching of the rope and the galloping of the horse, the outer wall of the camp was torn away.

Of course, when these cavalry approached the camp, they were also shot by bows and arrows in the camp.About a dozen cavalrymen were shot off their horses.

Seeing how easily the defense of the enemy camp was broken, Wu Sangui smiled contemptuously, and then five hundred Tartars began to charge.The roads here are narrow, and more people will not have much effect, 500 people are just right.

When [-] cavalry led by a general rushed into the enemy camp, only hundreds of rebels had been waiting in line for a long time.

"Come on!"

Although the Tartars under Wu Sangui's command are equipped with a lot of three-eyed guns, they can shoot from a distance, and they can also use sticks when they are close.But firearms are of high value after all, and it is not easy to repair them if they are broken.Besides, these hundreds of rebels in front of them haven't been taken seriously by the generals who lead the team.So the Tartars drew their sabers and rushed towards the remaining troops of the fourth battalion.

Looking at the Tartars galloping towards them, Wang Min, the squadron leader of the No. [-] Squadron, was extremely nervous. He swallowed, his hands felt wet.He did not participate in the rescue of Yingshan last time.So this is the first time he encountered the impact of so many cavalry.Not only him, but also the rest of the regiment, the heart in their chest was beating violently.The deterrent effect of cavalry in this era on infantry is almost the same as that of tanks hundreds of years later.

"Vertical gun!"

"withstand!"

Wang Min could only shout helplessly, in the face of the cavalry's impact, the thin formation of the No. [-] Squadron was a doomed end.Although they were horrified by the cavalry charge, they did not lay down their arms and surrender.The security regiment selects soldiers with blood feuds with the Tartars as the first echelon, those who are good fighters as the second echelon, and those who only want to eat are the third echelon.The first brigade is Li Taiping's confidant team. Of course, the people here are all blood feuds with the Tartars.This was also during the few years when the Tartars had just entered the customs. If more than ten years passed, when the generation that had a deep hatred with the Tartars died, the hatred of the younger generations would gradually fade away.The trick of the security team will not work.

I thought of the tragic death of my relatives, I thought of being tortured by hatred day and night, and I thought of the fate of the nation and the rise and fall of the country repeatedly emphasized by the preachers in the army.The members of the regiment feel more courageous, even if they die in battle, they are not afraid, so they can stand up to see their dead relatives, because they have avenged them.Of course, the premise is to kill a few more Tartars.

The first row of Tartar horses was stopped by the spears. Of course, the regiments holding the spears also vomited blood, and the spears in their hands were broken by the huge impact of the horses.

When the second and third rows of cavalry fell to the ground, the gun array of the first squadron was already in pieces, and then they were swallowed by the torrent of cavalry.

It's just that there was no joy on the general's face, but panic.Only more than 300 rebels actually let themselves suffer nearly a hundred losses.You must know that the rebels are just infantry with spears in their hands, but their own cavalry are expensive cavalry!If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't feel sorry for the igniter. If you are far away, you have to shoot with a firecracker.

Not only the generals, Wu Sangui was also very distressed when he heard the news of the results of the battle.Killing more than 300 rebels consumed more than 80 men. Although nearly half of these 80 men were only injured, less than [-]% of them could return to the army after their injuries.I am really at a loss!

Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses are all his own private army, and Wu Sangui's strength will be reduced by one point if he does not die, and the heart of the tartar will be more relieved.

At this time, Wu Sangui had the idea of ​​preserving his strength in his heart.It's just that if they return at this time, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be shaken.

"Chasing! Keep chasing!"

Thousands of horses are galloping, rolling north.After ten miles, Wu Sangui found another gun formation.This time, instead of charging with cavalry, the Tartars fired from a distance with three-eyed guns.

Seeing that the Tartars used firearms instead of close combat, the squadron leader who led the team had no choice but to let his subordinates run for their lives, as many as they could escape.

Li Taiping also didn't want to abandon his children all the way, but if he didn't hang on to the Tartars like this, maybe the Tartars would turn around and catch up with the large army going north.Such a loss is unacceptable to Li Taiping, so he can only keep abandoning his car to protect his handsome man.Moreover, Li Taiping set fire to destroy the bridge while fleeing, which brought a lot of trouble to Wu Sangui's pursuit.Although Wu Jun could cross the ice, but the horses were too heavy to cross the river in batches, and the speed of leading the horses across the river was slow, so Wu Sangui's thoughts of retreating became more and more intense.

Finally, when Wu Sangui led his troops to chase Lantian County, and dispersed four resistance teams in a row, he stopped pursuing them and decided to take the captured regiment back home.Because the last few squadron leaders did not want their subordinates to die in vain and let the regiment members run for their lives, the tartars captured some prisoners.

Although many captured regiments gritted their teeth and refused to let go, they were also recruited under torture.In this way, Wu Sangui learned the details of this army.

It has only been a month since a rebel army thousands of miles away came to southern Shaanxi, yet it caused such a storm.Moreover, Ding Han of the security regiment was not afraid of death, and Wu Sangui was very surprised by his will not to surrender.Many of the captives who let go of their mouths opened their mouths only after being whipped to a bloody mess, and some of them were even beaten to death.

This made Wu Sangui a little jealous, and vaguely felt that this security team might be a big enemy.But now that they have been chased for hundreds of miles, they can only go back because they are exhausted. After all, Hanzhong needs to be stationed by the general after the ravages of Long Kewang.

Thus, Li Taiping was lucky enough to escape from Wu Sangui's pursuit, and ten days later he arrived in Yichuan County, Shaanxi Province, where he successfully joined forces with Mei Renxin, He Zhen and others.
