"Li Tou, it seems that the Ming army has discovered us." A young tiger-character flag guard hiding on the hillside said.
Next to him, stood a man of about the same age, holding a monocular in his hand to observe the army camp ahead.
Monoculars are no longer a rare item in Tiger Flag.
Each sentinel rider is equipped with a single-pass telescope to better detect information.
"Get out!" The man named Li put away the monocular telescope in his hand and called to several people around him at the same time.
The young sentry rider said in confusion: "There are only about ten people. If we take action, we may not be able to deal with them."
"There is no need to waste time with them." The sentry commander surnamed Li replied, and then urged the war horse to run in the opposite direction to the official camp.
Several other sentry riders followed him and left together.
Originally, these people were hiding on the hillside and were not obvious from a distance. But now that they left, the movement became louder and it became impossible to hide their figures.
"They want to run, chase them!" Someone among the cavalry sent by the government army pointed at the tiger flag in front of them and shouted.
People on both sides chased each other on the road.
"Damn it, these gangsters can run so fast even though they wear such thick armor." A cavalryman in the army spat fiercely on the ground.
After chasing for seven or eight miles, the cavalry on the official side had to stop.
A person on the side said: "Their horses are good, it will be difficult for us to catch up if we continue to pursue them."
The Tiger-Character Banner conquered the Tumut tribe, soldiers were no longer scarce, and the quality of the horses ridden by the cavalry was better than that of most of the army's horses.
Ordinary cavalry in the official army like them are not qualified to own good war horses.
"Let's go back!" the leading officer greeted and turned his horse's head to prepare to go back.
Everyone else also understood that they would definitely not be able to catch up, so they could only return to the camp to recover.
At this moment, an official cavalryman who had not yet had time to turn his horse suddenly pointed in a direction ahead and shouted: "Look, those sentries with the Tiger Flag are back again."
As his words fell, other people turned to look over.
"No, let's go quickly." The face of the leader of the army suddenly changed, and he immediately urged his war horse to gallop towards the army camp.
Being able to serve as a cavalryman in the official army is considered an elite in the army.
When the leader spoke, the others responded quickly and hurriedly urged the horses to run faster.
Behind them, there was a cavalry team of dozens of people.
These cavalry were all wearing black plate armor, which was the same color and style as the armor on the tiger-shaped flag sentry cavalry that had escaped earlier.
These cavalrymen in the official army are all knowledgeable people, and they know that they are no match for the opponent.
boom! boom! boom!
As soon as these officers and soldiers fled, a series of gunshots sounded on the hillside on one side of the road, even mixed with the sound of the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Two unlucky official cavalrymen were hit and fell down on the spot.
One of the war horses was beaten into a sieve, and blood was pouring out of the blood hole on half of the horse's body.
It can make countless bloody holes in the body of the war horse with one blow. In addition to firing many volleys of firecrackers, it can only be done by firing the Crouching Tiger Cannon that releases iron sand.
"There are cannons, there are cannons, they have cannons!" A cavalryman in the official army shouted in panic.
However, the leader of the army said nothing and only kept urging the horses to gallop.
The firecrackers on the hillside only rang once and then stopped firing.
The officers and cavalry who were bent on escaping did not give them a second chance to fire arson rifles and squatting tiger cannons.
The cavalry of the Tiger Flag came up from behind.
Several official cavalrymen beat their horses desperately, just to make the horses under them run faster.
However, contrary to expectations, the distance between the two parties is constantly getting closer.
boom! boom! boom!
Scattered sounds of firecrackers sounded.
The tiger-shaped flag cavalry chasing behind these official cavalry held a cavalry gun in one hand and shot at the official troops in front.
More than fifty steps had already entered the range of the cavalry gun. Unfortunately, the hit of the cavalry gun was too low. It only injured one officer's cavalry, causing him to fall off his horse.
Being hit by a musket will cause the burning pain in the wound, which is far worse than being hit by an arrow.
The Tiger Banner cavalry who caught up slashed the neck of the injured officer's cavalry with a knife, and saw blood spurting out, and soon there was no movement.
From the beginning to the end, the cavalry of the Tiger Flag did not stop or slow down their pursuit because of this man.
The leading official cavalryman was the first to realize something was wrong and began to flee for his life, making him ride ahead of all his companions.
Every time he heard the screams from behind, his heart trembled, but he didn't even have the courage to look back, for fear that if he turned back, he would be overtaken by the tiger-shaped flag cavalry chasing behind him.
The sound of gunfire sounded behind him every now and then.
This let him know that the pursuers behind him were still pursuing him.
Because cavalry like them who are mixed with the frontier army will never use fire guns as weapons on horseback. At most, they will carry a few more feather arrows.
At this time, he felt for the first time that the seven or eight miles journey was so long.
If he had a pair of wings, he could not wait to fly to the army camp immediately.
Camp!
The eyes of the leading Ming cavalryman who was galloping on the road lit up. For the first time, he felt that his camp was so beautiful.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" He shouted while urging the horse to gallop.
When the war horses rushed into the camp, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ignoring his embarrassment, he jumped off his horse and stumbled towards the camp where his general was.
There are personal soldiers guarding the main general's tent outside the tent.
He ran to the tent, and the guard outside the tent said eagerly: "Hurry, I want to see the general, take me to see the general quickly."
The guard turned and entered the tent.
Soon, when he was walking out, he said: "The general lets you in."
The officer cavalry who had escaped quickly walked into the tent.
"My subordinates were incompetent and allowed the rebel sentries to escape." When he saw the general in the tent, he knelt down on one knee and apologized.
The bearded general sitting in the main seat of the big tent stared with round eyes and cursed: "You trash, you can't even catch a few bandits' sentries, so what's the use of keeping you?"
The scolded cavalryman buried his head deeply in the ground.
"Why did you let the bandits escape if you didn't bring more than ten people with you? I think you, the commander-in-chief, should stop doing this. Go and pour the chamber pot for me!" the bearded general said with a gloomy face.
The commander-in-chief trembled and hurriedly explained to himself: "General, calm down. My subordinates started to chase the rebel sentry cavalry very smoothly. Unexpectedly, the rebels set an ambush halfway, and my subordinates failed to check for a moment and fell into the ambush. "
As he spoke, he lowered his head again.
