Chen Yingzheng, someone escaped from Xinping Fort, maybe it was a big fish. " Zhao Yutu looked at the group of cavalry escaping from Xinping Fort and reminded Chen Xunping beside him.
Chen Xunping took a look and said: "The ones leaving the city should be Li Huaixin's personal soldiers. There are unlikely to be so many well-armed servants. Maybe Li Huaixin is inside."
"It's better this way, just capture them all." Zhao Yutu said with a smile.
Chen Xunping shook his head and said, "No, let him go. This person is not a threat to our Tiger Flag. Have you forgotten what he wrote in Hutou Village?"
After he reminded him, Zhao Yutu recalled and immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Chen Yingzheng is right, this person is not a threat to us."
Chen Xunping glanced at the group of official cavalry in the distance again and said, "Lao Wu, you are going to have a hard time. You cuirassiers are going to hunt down the escaped group of official cavalry. If you find that Li Huaixin is there, Inside, let them go. If there is no Li Huaixin inside and it is just a trick of the army to escape, then keep all these people."
"Yes." Lao Wu agreed and rode away.
Soon, a cuirassier team with a tiger-shaped flag chased the imperial cavalry that was fleeing in the distance.
The war horses of the Tiger Character Banner are all Mongolian horses, but they are three to five-year-old good horses, and they are carefully selected good horses. On the other hand, although the government and army have war horses, compared with the war horses of the Tiger Character Banner, There is still a gap.
Lao Wu's riding skills were no worse than those of Ye Bushou in the frontier army, and all the cuirassiers following him were trained by him himself.
Two groups of cavalry were chasing each other on the road.
The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the cuirassiers of the Tiger Flag took out their muskets and began to aim at the official cavalry in front.
Li Huaixin was protected by his own soldiers, and he kept galloping forward without daring to look back.
"My lord, the cavalry of the Tiger Flag are catching up. Please go down and hold them back." A soldier next to Li Huaixin said something, then turned his horse's head and led several soldiers to charge towards the cuirass cavalry of the Tiger Flag behind him. go.
boom! Bang...bang!
The two rows of cuirassiers with tiger flags in the front fired their muskets.
The official cavalry who originally wanted to hold back the Tiger Flag cavalry fell off their horses before they could rush forward.
An official cavalryman was not hit by the musket, but he was so frightened that he fell to the side of his horse. One foot was hung on the saddle, and his upper body was dragged on the ground, being dragged along by the horse.
The tiger-shaped flag cuirassiers ignored the killed officer cavalry and continued to chase Li Huaixin and others who were fleeing in front.
After firing a musket, the cuirassier of the Tiger Flag reloaded the musket in his hand with gunpowder and iron beads.
Loading muskets on horseback is a training subject for the Tiger Banner Cuirassiers. Everyone is proficient in it. Even when chasing the enemy, they can do so without delaying the pursuit of the enemy.
For the cuirassiers of the Tiger Banner, they have trained on loading muskets countless times. They are already familiar with it and can no longer be familiar with it. They can load gunpowder and iron beads with their eyes closed.
Lao Wu led the cuirassiers to bite tightly behind Li Huaixin and others, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers around Li Huaixin gritted their teeth and said, "Sir, my subordinates are going to stop the cavalry of the Tiger Flag."
After the words fell, before Li Huaixin could speak, the man turned his horse's head and rushed towards Lao Wu and others.
Like him, there were seven or eight soldiers who rushed towards the tiger-shaped cuirassier.
However, these people were greeted by a series of gunshots.
Li Huaixin had over a hundred soldiers in Xinping Fort, but there were only a few dozen soldiers who had the chance to break out of Xinping Fort with him, and most of the cavalry were not left behind in Xinping Fort.
Of course, this is not because they want to stay, but because there is too much chaos in Xinping Fort. In order to escort them out of Xinping Fort, many soldiers blocked the chaos in Xinping Fort and the soldiers with the Tiger Flag along the way, and were left behind. In the end, there was no chance to escape with Li Huaixin.
There were only a few dozen soldiers who followed Li Huaixin and successfully escaped from Xinping Fort.
The total number of soldiers who went to stop the Tiger Banner Cuirassiers these two times was more than a dozen, which already accounted for half of the soldiers around Li Huaixin.
These dozen cavalrymen were able to move freely among hundreds of bandits, but when faced with the muskets used by the cuirassiers of the Tiger Banner, they didn't even have a chance to get close, and they were all hit by the iron beads fired from the muskets. .
The range of the cavalry musket is shorter than that of the infantry musket in the Tiger Banner Distribution Station Barracks, but within twenty or thirty steps, the cuirassiers who have been trained for a long time can still hit a target the size of a man.
The iron beads shot by fire guns are much more powerful than feather arrows. When an ordinary cavalryman is hit by a feather arrow, his body may shake a few times due to pain, but he can still endure it as long as he grits his teeth.
However, as long as the iron beads shot by the fire cannon hit the human body, no matter whether it hits the vital point or not, the pain caused is not something that ordinary people can endure, especially the galloping cavalry. As long as they are hit by the iron beads of the fire cannon, they will be hurt. There is little chance of survival.
Li Huaixin's personal soldiers saw the cavalry with the Tiger Flag still chasing after them. The previous two groups did not stop them at all. He said: "Sir, my subordinates will risk their lives to stop the Cavalry with the Tiger Flag for you. Sir, please Don’t skimp on your horsepower and return to Datong Fucheng as soon as possible.”
After saying that, the soldier turned around and rushed towards the tiger-shaped flag cavalry chasing behind.
Following him were six or seven soldiers who rushed over.
Li Huaixin kept urging the horses under him to gallop, without even looking at the soldiers who went to intercept the pursuers.
He doesn't care about the life and death of his soldiers. The reason why he raises these soldiers is to use them at this critical moment. Not only him, but other generals as well.
As the gunfire sounded behind him, the shouts of killing disappeared.
He knew that the few soldiers who had just been killed were also killed by the people of Tiger Character Banner.
At this time, he deeply felt the power of the Tiger Banner Cavalry. The soldiers around him were killed without even stopping him.
There were only five or six soldiers left with him.
Lao Wu, who was chasing behind, suddenly reined in the horse and said, "Okay, stop chasing them and let them go!"
The tiger-shaped cuirassiers following him stopped one after another.
Lao Wu turned around and said again: "Take care of the horses left behind by the officers and soldiers, and let's go back."
Most of the war horses left behind by the official cavalry who were killed by the tiger-shaped cuirassiers were good. Even if some of them could no longer be used as war horses, it was still good to use them as livestock.
The Tiger Flag's four-wheeled carts, artillery carts, and even some farm work all require the use of livestock, and there are many gaps. Even if a lot of goods have been exchanged from the grassland, it is still not enough.
