After the first battle, the slave knights suffered too many losses. Mandahai took the remaining 100 or so slave knights and prepared to escape from Nanguan back to Jinzhou.
On the way back to Jinzhou, he and his slaves prepared to harm hundreds of households along the way. On the one hand, he wanted to vent his anger, and on the other hand, he wanted to avenge Bu Manda's death.
However, as squadrons of soldiers entered each Baihu Station, the slaves could no longer get any advantage. Instead, they lost troops and generals at the Baihu Station and lost dozens of lives.
"You can be considered an escape!" Younuqi said happily.
This trip to Lushun was originally thought to be an easy job. Not only would he be able to humiliate the people of Lushun wantonly, but he would also be able to steal a lot of valuable things back.
Everyone scrambles to pick up errands.
Unexpectedly, in the end, not many Han people in Lushun were killed, but many of their own people were killed and injured.
There were more than 200 horses when we left, but less than 100 people came back.
Mandahai, who was riding beside him, looked coldly at the slave who was speaking and said, "Are you afraid?"
The slave who was questioned shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.
Mandahai did not continue to press, and turned to the others around him and said: "Don't be too happy first, you can only return to Jinzhou after passing through Nanguan Island. Don't forget that Nanguan Island is also in the hands of the Tiger Flag. "
South Guam is the last pass for them to go back.
Because it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, if you want to go from Lushun to Jinzhou, you can only go to Nanguan Island or take a boat. For slaves who don't have much navy, they only have the option of going to Nanguan Island.
"Mandahai, are you worried that people from the Tiger Flag will ambush us in Nanguan Island?" asked a slave knight following Mandahai.
Man Dahai glanced at the road ahead, and said: "If the Ming army were to come out and ambush us, the soldiers and horses of this tiger-character flag are different. You saw it in the previous battle. If we really want to fight in the south... It’s not impossible that an ambush was set up near Guam.”
"Mandahai, you are right. It has been a long time since I have seen Han soldiers and horses who are so fearless of death. We should be more careful." Na Nuqi nodded in agreement.
But regardless of whether there was an ambush ahead, they had no choice but to keep moving forward.
Nanguan Island is located in a critical position. It is the gateway to guard Lushun, and it is also the first line of defense against the Jinzhou slave thieves.
Nanguandao Fort is not like the Great Wall. A long wall was built to block the inside and outside.
South Guam Fort only occupies a small part, but if you want to pass through, only South Guam Fort has roads that vehicles and horses can pass through. People in other places can barely walk, but it is difficult for teams and horses to pass.
No matter how reluctant Mandahai was, he could only pass by the South Guam Fort.
boom! boom!
As soon as they approached Nanguandao Fort, the sound of cannons immediately rang out from the top of the city.
Cannonballs flew out from the city wall and landed in the direction of Mandahai and other slave cavalry teams.
"Mandahai, we were discovered by people on the South Guandao Fort!" Younuqi shouted loudly towards Mandahai.
Mandahai rolled his eyes when he heard this.
With so many cavalry passing by unnoticed, how could they not be noticed unless they were blind or deaf.
"Don't worry, let's rush over. They can only fire on the top of the city. Without the cavalry, we can't catch up with us. As long as we rush over, we can return to Jinzhou." Man Dahai shouted loudly, and at the same time he kept urging his horse to speed up. Running speed.
Not only was he like this, but the other slave riders were also the same, constantly urging their horses to speed up.
They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they all understand that it takes time between firing the first shot and firing the second shot. As long as they are faster, they can avoid taking a few shots and pass through the section of the road where the South Guam Fort is stationed.
There were only a few cannon shots fired from the top of Nanguandao Fort, and then it became quiet, with no more cannons falling.
This made the slave riders who wanted to pass the South Guam Fort breathe a sigh of relief, and some even cheered excitedly.
"The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag are not the same. If it were me, I would definitely set up an ambush halfway, instead of just firing a few cannons at the top of the city." Man Dahai said to himself with a look of contempt.
The Tiger-Character Banner did not set up an ambush at Nanguandao Fort, which gave him the idea that the Tiger-Character Banner was nothing more than that.
However, before they were proud for a long time, there were suddenly some deer villages on the road ahead, lying in the middle of the road.
And just behind Luzhai, there were at least two to three hundred people guarding there.
"Rush over!"
Mandahai immediately realized that the Tiger Flag men had not set up an ambush, but had set their blocking position in front of the Nanguandao Fort.
But he knew that those who came back from Lushun had no choice. They could survive if they rushed over, but they would probably die here if they rushed over.
The slave knights who followed him and fled here all understood this truth.
All the slave riders no longer cared about whether the war horses would run away. At this time, everyone was urging the war horses to run faster and forcefully break through the interception of the tiger-character flag soldiers and horses blocking the front.
If you rush over, you will survive.
Man Dahai was smarter this time. He knew that the Tiger Flag had cannons and there were many of them, so he did not rush to the front, but followed in the middle of the team.
The few slave riders who rushed forward raised their long weapons in advance in order to drive away the deer village. When they rushed forward, they could directly drive away the deer village on the road.
However, before they could get close, they were stopped by a horse trap on the ground.
The first few riders fell down with their horses, and the following riders also met the same fate.
Fortunately, not many horse pits were dug, and more than ten slaves were lost.
The remaining slaves carefully went around and trapped the horses, but the charging speed of the horses slowed down.
At this time, Mandahai was glad that he did not rush to the front, otherwise he, like Bu Manda, would never be able to return to Jinzhou alive.
After bypassing the horse trap, the riders in front began to use their weapons to pick off the deer village blocking the road.
At this moment, two small Fran cannons were fired.
The Fran cannons used cluster bombs, and the reloading speed was very fast. Three rounds were fired in a row, and the two Fran cannons fired six rounds.
The cannon hit the middle of the slaves and bounced several times, taking away the lives of more than a dozen slaves.
Mandahai, who was among the slaves, broke into a cold sweat.
Just now, a cannonball flew past in front of me, and the hot air waves seemed to singe my eyebrows, while the person next to me was directly hit by the cannonball and broke his waist.
If this was not the only way to go, he really wanted to go back now.
"Kill it!"
As the gunfire stopped, Mandahai saw hope again.
Without the threat of artillery, the fear of death of the tiger-character flag soldiers alone could not stop them who were determined to return to Jinzhou.
In his opinion, the people of the Tiger Character Banner dug horse pits and set up deer villages in order to prevent them from returning to Jinzhou through Nanguan Island.
Now only some soldiers and horses of the Tiger-Character Flag were left blocking the road. He was confident that he would kill this Tiger-Character Flag team and rush back to Jinzhou.
