The light rain fell in the morning, and before noon, the light rain turned into moderate rain.
For places with little precipitation and a lot of drought, this rain is good.
But Taiwei Duo'er was not happy at all. He had already received news, one was the news of the defeat of Sicihan, and the other was the news of Wang Baobao's defeat.
The information from both sides arrived at almost the same time, just an hour ago.
And he was about to face the Ming Dynasty general Fu Youde, the Marquis of Yingchuan, who had just defeated Cihan. The army in the front was defeated and King Qin was asked for in the rear.
But how can I move? Seeing the cavalry team in front of Ming Dynasty, if he turns around with his team, they will chase him from behind.
Seeing the rain falling continuously, Duoer became more and more irritated, and at the same time she was confused about the weapons of the Ming army.
The intelligence sent from Helin showed that the Ming army had a special kind of firecracker, which had a range far beyond that of normal firecrackers, and the reloading time was only half the time of a firecracker.
Moreover, it does not require an open flame to ignite it, and it is not afraid of fighting in rainy weather. Ordinary shields are difficult to withstand and will be penetrated in one hit.
If the Ming army really used such a firecracker, how could he be beaten?
Just as he was thinking about it, the Ming cavalry appeared. There were about two thousand cavalry in the front, and the number behind them was unclear. The rain was so bad.
Duo'er Zhiba's soldiers are still unclear about the situation. They are guarding the pass and will not take the initiative to fight. Unfortunately, there is no city wall here, but there are hills on both sides, making the position of the pass suitable for defense.
The Ming army's cavalry was getting closer and closer, but they did not charge. People at the pass hid behind the fence.
Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, the Ming army's cavalry stopped, and the men on the horses raised their flintlock guns and pointed them in front.
"Let go!" With an order, the five hundred cavalrymen fired the bullets from their guns.
Yuan Jun looked at this distance and was wondering! The person behind the fence suddenly fell to pieces, and chips were thrown up from the wood of the fence.
"Let go!" Another order was given, and another five hundred people fired.
The Yuan soldiers behind the fence continued to fall to the ground. Some people saw this and simply fell down themselves and pretended to be dead.
"Lie down." Duo'erzhiba finally saw the Ming army's new guns mentioned in the news. He shouted, and other generals sent orders one after another.
They lay down together, and the Ming cavalry was not in a hurry. Those who had fired before immediately dismounted and reloaded their ammunition.
If the enemy is willing to lie down, let them lie down for a while. The people behind will come up to deal with it, and you will be responsible for long-distance attacks.
Not long after, the team behind brought some horses, which were livestock captured in the previous battle.
Someone selected ten horses that didn't look very good, hung things on the horses, calculated the distance, and drove the horses forward, a hundred steps forward. At this time, a Yuan soldier found that the distance was enough, stood up and wanted to shoot an arrow.
"Let go!" The flintlock gun fired first, and those who had just stood up fell down again, whether they were shot or not.
The ten men who reached one hundred paces lit the fuse, stabbed the horse in the butt, turned around and ran away.
The horse rushed forward in pain and rushed to the fence. Before it could turn and hit it, an explosion of "boom" and "boom" was heard.
The horse carrying the explosive was blown to pieces in an instant, the fence was also messed up by the shock wave, and the people close to the fence were bleeding from the mouth.
Yuan Bing was stunned for a moment. They knew about gunpowder explosions, but they had never seen such a movement. How much gunpowder could explode like this?
Just when they didn't know what to do, a group of horses was driven over.
"Run!" As soon as someone saw the horses, they shouted and turned around and ran away, regardless of anything else.
The others, whether they heard the shouting or not, looked at the others' movements and ran along with them.
As soon as they ran, the flintlock team came forward, chased them for a distance, and fired continuously, but the horses that were charging forward did not explode.
Duo'er only watched the gate being opened without caring about anything else. She turned around and mounted her horse, shouting: "Follow me to King Qin, go to King Qin."
When the others heard this, they said, yes, we are not running away, we are going to Qin Wang.
So a chase began. The other cavalry only protected the cavalry with flintlock muskets, while the fusilier cavalry chased the enemy behind and attacked.
The infantry of the Yuan soldiers surrendered directly, while the cavalry ran as fast as they could, leaving all the baggage behind.
After chasing for a long time, all the Ming troops returned to the pass and counted the prisoners and baggage. Because it was a pass, a lot of things were put here.
Including the cattle and horses used to transport supplies, these now all belong to Fu Youde.
Fu Youde looked at the mountain of supplies and smiled like a flower: "The flintlock gun is so easy to use, and the explosives are so easy to use. If you blow it up once and deceive it again, the enemy will be scared out of his wits."
"Grab some dry food to eat and hurry up." He took out a handful of meat floss and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, then opened the water bag and took a sip of water, showing a satisfied look.
The same is true for other soldiers. The only discomfort is that there is rain on their hands. They wash their hands with the rain and carefully pinch the meat floss.
The team traveled for another half day, and in the evening, they saw another team, an army led by Feng Sheng himself.
"Weixue, how are you doing?" Feng Sheng asked loudly and happily when he saw the people and baggage brought back by Fu Youde.
"Zong Yi, no one died. I led the army to always keep a distance from the enemy. They had never seen new firearms and ran away after being beaten.
When fighting the pass, they used ten horses to carry explosives to blow them up, and then frightened them, but Duoer was defeated in a hurry.
Look, there are so many cattle and horses, plus their arrows, gunpowder, fried rice, and fried noodles, it is enough for us to hit Helin. "
Fu Youde was equally happy, because no one in Feng Sheng's team was sad. Apparently both sides took full advantage of the enemy's ignorance of the characteristics of the flintlock gun.
"Have a rest. We've prepared food here and are waiting for you."
Feng Sheng called Fu Youde into the tent. It was still raining outside, but a little lighter.
Beef was roasting in the tent. Feng Sheng sat next to him and said to Fu Youde: "Other teams also sent news. Tang He was the first to capture Yanghe and stayed there.
Li Wenzhong's march was smooth, and all Yuan soldiers he encountered on the road fled. However, he wrote a letter saying that he was not in a hurry to pursue them.
He said that he only had to rush to the place according to time. The enemy could not always run and would eventually stop.
Xu Dara fought with Wang Baobao there. Wang Baobao also suffered the disadvantage of not being familiar with flintlock guns. He was killed in heavy rain and fled with less than ten thousand people.
Xu Da did not attack He Lin there, but sent out scouts every day to look for traces of Yuan soldiers and surround them for reinforcements. "
Fu Youde took out a knife, sliced off the cooked outer layer of the roasted beef leg, dipped it in salt and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it a few times: "If you shoot a few more times, the Yuan soldiers will be familiar with our flintlock guns. There must be some." Ways to cope.
During the fight today, they lay on the ground, and our army had no way of attacking unless the cavalry rushed up. "
"How many lives do they need to get acquainted with them?" Feng Sheng smiled. After beating him a few more times, he became familiar with them and killed them.
Thank you for the monthly ticket!
