"He's gotta give it a shot! Give it a shot... don't let that thief Wu Sangui get away!"
While Li Guo controlled the horse under his crotch to accelerate forward, he opened his throat and loudly urged his soldiers to rush forward.
Two thousand Dashun Laoying cavalry have entered the battlefield north of Tianjin Weibei City!
The timing of their arrival on the battlefield was really coincidental, just as Wu Sangui was commanding his troops to storm the fortress that Tang Tong was holding on to.
This Wu Sangui seems to have lived up to his reputation. He is a guy who cares about his head but not his body. He only focused on attacking Tang Tong and forgot to deploy a defender behind him.
The vanguard of the Breaking Army led by Li You, a brigade of cavalry, quickly deployed and went into the attack. Wu Sangui's troops were caught off guard and collapsed at the first touch.
Wu Sangui himself was also a coward. He didn't dare to lead his servants to fight back, but instead ran away. The infantry of the Wu army who were attacking the barrier were also forced out of their way by Li You's cavalry, and actually fled towards the barrier where Tang Tong was. They all crowded under the barrier, begging loudly for mercy.
Seeing this scene, Li Guo was naturally very excited. Now his uncle Li Zicheng is still worried about Wu Sangui joining forces with the Manchus! If he could catch Wu Sangui himself in Tianjin Wei, Dashun's world would be stable.
Therefore, Li Guo did not hesitate and immediately divided his troops into two groups and ordered his brother Li You to annihilate the Zhu family traitors who had retreated under the Tang Ministry's barrier. He himself led the rest of the cavalry to pursue Wu Sangui!
Wu Sangui is not good at fighting, but he can escape very quickly. The Yiding Tuqi under his command are also a horse team, and they run wildly all the way. Li Guo's cavalry ran back and forth on both sides of the Wei River again today, consuming a lot of horsepower. Now they couldn't pick up the speed at all, so they chased for a long time and failed to catch up. Instead, they gradually approached the cavalry piled on the north bank of the Wei River. Archery blocked the mound of river.
There was also a bright red flag with the word "Chuang" stuck on the mound. It seemed that it was still under the control of Tang Tong's men. This Wu Sangui is really in a panic!
Wu Sangui was heading towards the big mound. Before he got close, a row of arrows shot down from the mound. However, because the distance was too far, the arrow failed to reach Wu Sangui and fell twenty or thirty steps in front of his horse.
Why are you in such a hurry to shoot an arrow... What a pity!
Li Guo secretly screamed a pity, and at the same time, he waved his riding whip and hit the horse hard on his crotch.
Wu Sangui and his useless Yiding cavalry in front continued to run forward with their heads covered, as if they didn't see the big mound in front of them. After running forward for a while, and almost hitting a mound, Wu Sangui turned around with his Yiding cavalry, as if he wanted to go around the mound. Arrows were still being fired from the top of the mound, but their archery skills were really bad. They shot here and there without ever hitting the mark.
What a bunch of idiots! Li Guo cursed again, pulled the reins, and turned with the Yiding Tuqi in front. After turning around, Li Guo followed the Yiding cavalry in front and ran eastward along the mound. After running a few steps, there was a sound of banging bamboo clappers, followed by a dense sound of bow strings.
Why are you shooting now? Li Guo felt vaguely that something was not good, as the sounds of screams and the neighing of war horses came from behind.
Damn it, where are they shooting?
Li Guo didn't have to look back to know that his men had been "accidentally shot"! He was so angry. The gang of losers under Tang Tong were really good. The arrows he shot at Wu Sangui's people missed, but they were accurate and cruel when they accidentally shot his own people!
After this battle is over, the man surnamed Tang will be arrested and tortured by Huang Hu, and he will be tortured severely!
Li Guo, a tiger who was determined to give Tang Tong some trouble, did not slow down his horse, let alone turn around and leave. Although accidental shooting and manslaughter are hateful, capturing Wu Sangui is more important! Li Guo didn't want to let Wu Sangui go because of the mistakes of Tang Tong's men.
The mound occupied by Tang Tong's archers was not very long. For Li Guo, who was galloping on his horse, it was just a rush. The moment Li Guo rushed over the edge of the mound, he suddenly caught sight of a scene that shouldn't have happened in the corner of his eye - a group of about two to three hundred firecrackers formed a line on the side of the mound, setting up a formation. A firecracker was fired!
How could Tang Tong's subordinates have so many fire rifles? Is it possible that Wu Sangui's thieves were involved in his family?
Terrifying thoughts came to Li Guo's mind! However, his reaction was also quick. Without any hesitation, he leaned on the horse's back and at the same time waved the whip as hard as he could to hit the mount's neck. His mount was also a rare good horse. After suffering the pain, he naturally ran forward with all his strength, and was about to catch up with the Yiding Tuqi in front.
At this moment, a deafening volley of firecrackers rang out. It wasn't a crackling sound like fried beans, but a loud noise like thunder.
But Li Guo was still unscathed! It wasn't that the volley of fire cannons was inaccurate, but that Li Guo rushed too fast and Yiqi Juechen walked in front, making him a single target. Now that the New Army had no snipers, it was natural that the volleys of fire and cannons would be fired into the crowd, so Chen Shifang, Eunuch Chen, who was directing the shooting, ignored him. All the firepower of more than three hundred muskets was thrown at the cavalry behind Li Guo. Immediately, a crowd of people fell on their backs, and more than a hundred horsemen were knocked down by lead bullets in various positions.
Some of the riders were shot and beaten to a bloody pulp, screaming and falling off their horses!
Some of the war horses were hit by lead bullets, and they also suffered frightening wounds. Blood sputtered out, and large pieces of meat were also brought out.
The projectiles of the Turtle Dove's Fire Gun are very heavy, weighing one or two pounds! When hit on the body of a human or a horse, there was immediately a bloody hole on the surface. The body was also shattered and broken, and was turned into a mess by the lead bullets. If the power of the projectile is not fully released, it may even penetrate the body of a person or horse. That wound is even more frightening! The projectile tore away a large amount of skin and flesh on the other side of the body, and it made him really hurt just thinking about it!
Of course, the severe pain after being shot will not last long, it will hurt and you will die...
At this time, Li Guo already knew that he had fallen into Wu Sangui's trick, so he could no longer fight and had to run away quickly!
Thinking of this, he opened his throat and shouted: "The wind is tight, pull it!"
Then he pulled the reins sharply and pulled the horse that was running wildly. Because it stopped too quickly, the front hooves of the war horse were raised high, and only the two hind hooves stood up.
At this time, Wu Sangui in front was already gathering his troops and reorganizing the charge formation. Li Guo, who was about to turn his horse around, glanced at the Yiding cavalry in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief - although Wu Sangui was cunning, he was still not good at commanding on the battlefield.
What kind of team is there now? They should just pounce on them and fight!
"Go, go, go quickly, don't be obsessed with fighting!" Li Guo shouted, beating the horse as hard as he could. Now is not the time to cherish the horse. As long as you can get out, it is worth running the horse to death.
However, Li Guo did not run away, but ran in a clear direction towards the pontoon bridge that he had crossed the river before.
Because he knew that this pontoon bridge was the key to the battle of Tianjin Guard. If I could lead a team across the pontoon and then set it on fire. Then Chen Yongfu's troops can safely capture Tianjin Wei's Nancheng.
As long as Tianjin Wei's Nancheng can be captured, the Zhu family's crown prince and Wu Sangui will still have to leave in defeat.
...
At the same time, on the water of the Wei River, twenty or thirty water boats of different sizes had opened a pocket formation, waiting for the Da Longtou, which was riding on the Prince Zhu, to get into it.
The red lady also boarded a slender fast boat, which was hidden among a bunch of fat canoes. She also put on a red bodysuit that was close to her flesh, and her good-looking body was stretched into a graceful curve. She also wore a pair of snow-white feet that had not been bound. Not to mention how attractive she was, it was obvious to see her Most of the subordinates have no time to think about Prince Zhu... Of course, they can only look at and think about it, but not touch him. This bitch is so fierce!
