ps: Thanks to Mengjing Luoxue for the reward.
The number of casualties on the side of the Tiger Character Banner continues to increase. Although the slave bandits also have casualties, the situation is much better than that on the Tiger Character Banner side.
Looking at the soldiers who continued to fall, Qiao Lin's eyes were filled with tears.
"kill!"
With a shout, he raised his bayonet and stabbed the nearest slave thief.
He didn't know that the person he was stabbing was Man Dahai, who was also the person with the highest status among the slaves and thieves after Bu Manda's death.
The bayonet is slender and is best used for stabbing, but it is not good at cutting and slashing.
Mandahai, who was riding on horseback, saw the bayonet stabbing him. He knocked the bayonet away with the back of his sword and slashed towards Qiao Lin's head.
Poof!
The knife struck Qiao Lin on the shoulder.
When he pulled out the knife and prepared to kill the opponent with another blow, another soldier with a tiger-shaped flag stabbed at him with a bayonet.
He had to give up Qiao Lin and deal with other people.
As the fighting continued, fewer and fewer Tiger Flag soldiers were standing, and even the Tiger Flag artillerymen who later joined the battle group suffered many casualties.
boom!
A squatting tiger cannon was suddenly fired, and countless iron sand flew towards the nearest slave thieves, killing them on the spot.
One of the Tiger Flag soldiers was also killed by one shot.
The sound of the cannon attracted the attention of the people who were fighting, and Mandahai looked towards the location where the sound of the cannon came from.
There was a lot of smoke left by the burnt medicine around the Tiger Crouching Cannon that had just been fired. Next to it stood a man dressed as a Ming army man, his eyes red and his body trembling slightly.
"I'll fight you bitches!" The Ming army who fired the cannon saw a knife from nowhere, with blood dripping from the edge.
Seeing this, Mandahai showed disdain.
He even killed so many soldiers and horses of the Tiger-Character Banner, which was boasted to be so powerful, and he didn't take it seriously even if a Ming soldier only dared to huddle in the city in front of Dai Jin.
As for how the Ming soldier in front of him got into the Tiger Flag team, he didn't care at all.
But this Ming soldier dared to fire at their Jurchen warriors and killed several Jurchen warriors. He would never allow such a Ming soldier to live.
Although he didn't know that there was a saying about breaking the ridge beam, he didn't like that any Han people dared to resist their military front of the Jin Dynasty, let alone the Ming army.
Man Dahai raised his sword.
Seeing the Ming soldier rushing towards him, he sneered in his heart and urged his horse to fight the sword, preparing to kill the Ming soldier.
Before he could rush his horse forward, the Ming soldier who was charging towards him with his sword stumbled over the corpse on the ground and fell face down to the ground.
Then there were tiger-character flag warriors and slave cavalry fighting in front of them.
Unhappy, Mandahai swung his sword at the tiger-character flag soldier standing in front of him, killing him with one blow.
But just when he wanted to find the Ming soldier again, his left arm suddenly hurt. He turned around and saw the bayonet in the hand of a Tiger Flag soldier piercing his forearm.
He shook his arm forcefully, enduring the pain and pulled his forearm out of the bayonet.
A slave rider on the side stepped forward and killed the tiger-character flag soldier who had sneak-attacked Mandahai.
"Mandahai, Han reinforcements are coming, we can't stay here." Nuqi, who rescued Mandahai, said to Mandahai.
After hearing this, Mandahai looked in the direction of the other party.
Along the far side of the road, a figure could be seen moving, rushing towards the place where they were fighting with the Tiger Flag.
"What are you afraid of! Kill as many as you come." Man Dahai said disapprovingly.
As long as the brigade of tiger-character flag soldiers and horses didn't come over, he wouldn't be afraid at all.
"We have too many casualties. Mandahai, you can't be impulsive. Sooner or later, we will have a chance to avenge Bu Mandahai." The other party persuaded Mandahai to leave.
Upon hearing this, Mandahai glared at the other party fiercely and said, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid, but look at how many of us are left. If we continue to fight, more and more soldiers and horses with the Tiger Flag will come. There is no need for us to waste time here." The other party said to him. Mandahai shouted loudly.
Mandahai glanced around.
However, it was only then that he discovered that of the more than 200 horses that came with him, only a hundred or so were left, and many of them were injured. On the other hand, there were still 20 or 30 soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag, which had shrunk to In one place, everyone was holding a blazing gun with a blade in their hand, like a hedgehog.
"Take the injured and retreat!" Mandahai knew that there would be no advantage if he continued to fight.
It would take a lot of effort to kill the remaining dozens of tiger-character flag soldiers, but the tiger-character flag soldiers who came to help were not far away, so he wouldn't be given much time at all.
He immediately took the slaves who could still ride and evacuated.
The killing was very enjoyable, but he was still dissatisfied with so many casualties, especially Bu Manda's death. He didn't know how to explain it to his master after he returned.
He secretly hated it.
If the people of the Tiger-Character Flag hadn't fired the artillery, they wouldn't have suffered so many casualties. Maybe they would have eliminated the Tiger-Character Flag troops and fled away by now.
Although he is leaving now, he has lost nearly half of his men.
"Hurry and save people!"
A captain of the Tiger Flag who rushed over saw the tragic situation in front of him and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to rescue people.
A small team was left to guard against the slave cavalry's sudden counterattack, while the rest began to rescue the injured Tiger Flag soldiers.
"There are slaves here!"
When some soldiers searched, they found the injured slave knight.
"Don't leave them alive! Don't tell me when you find them. Kill them all, and give me touch-ups on the dead ones." The captain of the leading soldier gave the order with a livid face.
Not to mention the enmity between the slave thieves and the Han people living in Liaodong, even with the tragic situation in front of him, he would not let these slave thieves die.
Shortly after the order was given, the sound of bayonets being inserted into flesh could be heard all around.
"Old Qiao, Old Qiao!" The captain of the reinforcements found Qiao Lin lying on the ground and hurriedly leaned down to lift Qiao Lin's upper body up from the ground and lean it against a corpse.
"Where is Nuqi!" The pale Qiao Lin saw the person in front of him, and the first thing he said was to ask about Nuqi.
The captain of the reinforcements shook his head slightly and said: "They ran away. They all ran away when we came over. But it doesn't matter. We didn't catch them this time. I will kill them next time."
"Run away, just run away! This battle was so damn painful, and it was so painful for the brothers to die!" Qiao Lin held the opponent's upper arm tightly with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes.
Firearms have always been the biggest advantage in the battle of the Tiger Flag, but in this battle, the firearms hardly played their due role, and instead fell into a close fight with the slaves.
"Old Qiao, stop talking. Let's rest for a while. I'll send you back for treatment later. As for the slave thieves, we've all come to Lushun. Are we afraid that we won't have a chance to kill the slave thieves?" the captain of the reinforcements said with relief.
