The two thousand cavalry who came this time included 600 light cavalry and 1,400 heavy cavalry.
The Qingqi are not only equipped with waist knives, but also muskets, and are mainly responsible for harassment on both sides.
The heavy cavalry charged head-on.
The cavalry was divided into three groups. Light cavalry surrounded the heavy cavalry on the left and right.
Form a Z-shaped charge.
Two thousand cavalrymen ran toward the location where the fireworks dispersed.
In just a moment, I encountered a group of people with bald heads and a pig tail on the back.
With just one glance, Han Xi knew that the group of people opposite him were Houjin Jianu who had entered the customs.
Judging from the size, there are about six to seven hundred people, almost everyone has two horses.
On the opposite side, I saw a group of Jiannu who saw a group of Ming troops who were more numerous than themselves. Instead of retreating, they shouted and dispersed into an arc-shaped network and rushed forward.
As the saying goes, when we meet on a narrow road, who is afraid of whom?
"Come on and grab the horse on the other side." Han Xi shouted loudly.
Soon, a trumpeter blew a rapid and low trumpet sound.
Immediately, two thousand cavalry charged.
Han Xi, A Niu and Xu San slowly fell behind.
There was nothing I could do about it. Even though I had practiced horseback riding for a while, when I charged, I was still not as fast as the elite soldiers of the Empire.
When the cavalry on both sides were not fighting, they saw Jian Nu on the opposite side standing up on his horse, bending his bow and aiming an arrow at the imperial cavalry.
Just when a group of slaves were preparing to shoot arrows.
But it was the Imperial Light Cavalry that struck first.
"Pa bang bang~"
There was a burst of gunfire, and dozens of Jiannu's cavalry fell to the ground.
This surprised the charging leader. In fact, the enemy's muskets were too powerful.
You know, the firearms of the Ming army encountered these days are mostly fake. Thousands of people fired, but only the sound of gunshots was heard, and no one was hurt.
This was caused by the corruption of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the matchlock guns in the hands of the Ming army were defective. They either frequently exploded or misfired. Therefore, the musketeers tended to use less gunpowder. In this way, they naturally could not hurt the heavily armored Jiannu cavalry.
Therefore, it gives people the illusion of goods.
This is why the border troops like to use three-eyed guns.
Because the three-eyed gun is easy to operate and not easy to misfire, you can definitely hear the sound.
This round of shooting directly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Jiannu cavalry.
The two armies clashed and arrived in an instant.
Jiannu was indeed a good hunter, and hundreds of people had dozens of arrows hitting imperial soldiers.
It's a pity that the heavily armored soldiers of the empire wore cotton coats under their iron armor, so the flying arrows did no harm at all.
Hou Jin was not given a chance to shoot the second arrow feather, and the two armies collided.
The two sides crossed each other.
The collision of weapons sparked sparks.
The imperial cavalry were skilled in slashing and slashing on horseback, but Jiannu's riding skills seemed a bit poor. Dozens of them were killed in just one charge, and less than half of them fell off their horses.
Only a dozen of the Imperial cavalry were wounded and fell off their horses.
Han Xi, A Niu, and Xu San followed behind, but no one was killed.
Both sides turned their horses' heads.
The leader of Jiannu was shocked at this time. It was just a confrontation and half of his side was missing.
"Pa bang bang~"
The Imperial light cavalry roaming on both sides fired again.
Dozens more Jiannu were shot and fell to the ground.
The leader Jiannu knew that he had encountered the elite of the Ming army this time, so he did not dare to stay and retreated with his men.
Seeing Jiannu running away, Han Xi sneered: "Jiannu is nothing more than that."
Then, Han Xi ordered the light cavalry to catch up, while the heavy cavalry surrounded and suppressed the fallen Jiannu.
Half an hour later.
All the captured slaves were wiped out, leaving no one alive, and only dozens of slaves surrendered.
Han Xi patted Xu San and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xu San grinned, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the military doctor on the side was bandaging his wounds.
When Ma Jiannu had just been encircled and suppressed, Xu San saw A Niu challenge a Jiannu to a duel, and he also chose a Jiannu to duel with him. In the end, he was unable to make two moves and almost lost his life.
Fortunately, Han Xi was on the side to provide support with a musket.
"This grandma's is Jiannu, she's a bit powerful." Xu San said with a bared teeth.
"Hahaha! Xu San, you can't do it. Look at me, I can kill Yi Jiannu with three swords." At this time, A Niu came up and boasted.
Han Xi looked at the corpses of Jiannu on the ground and felt a little strange. These Jiannu had average fighting strength immediately, but after dismounting, they became as ferocious as if they had been drugged.
In the first confrontation, only a dozen of the Imperial heavy cavalry were damaged.
But the battle just now left more than forty imperial soldiers injured.
Under the siege of thousands of imperial cavalry, he could still injure him. Han Xi took back what he just said, saying that Jiannu was a bit strong.
At this moment, a group of people appeared in the distance.
Han Xi looked from a distance and saw that the light cavalry chasing the Tatars had returned. Not only did they come back, they also seemed to have brought back a group of captured people. There were quite a few people, five or six thousand people.
Presumably, they were the captives escorted by the slaves.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar came over and said: "Mr. Qian, this is a statistical seizure."
Han Xi took it and looked at it. A total of 567 horses were seized. One hundred and thirty sets of heavy armor and two hundred sets of cloth armor. Three hundred and forty Jiannu slaves were exterminated.
After reading it, Han Xi looked at the team in the distance and couldn't help but smile as he brought back hundreds of horses. This finally paid off.
This moonlight was consumed, and nearly a thousand taels were used to replenish food.
These more than 600 horses are said to be worth tens of thousands taels at least.
Even if Han Xi turns back to Shaanxi now, this trip will be profitable. But we have arrived in the capital, so what if we don’t go in and take a look.
Han Xi planned to go to the capital to have a look and then go back. He had contacted several horse dealers on the way and could buy about three to four hundred horses. With the seizure this time, it was over a thousand horses, which was a big gain.
After a while.
The clerk once again counted the materials brought back by Qingqi. There were a hundred boxes of jewelry, silver, and eight hundred carts of food.
This actually solved the problem of the team's lack of food.
"Mr. Qian, what should we do with these people?" the clerk pointed at the thousands of people.
At this time, the people were gnawing on hard dry food. I heard that there were many Buddhist slaves active around, and Han Xi did not dare to light a fire, so even they and their group could only eat hard dry food.
When I was thirsty, I grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and stuffed it into my mouth.
"We'll see if we can take it into the city later." Han Xi said.
Not long ago, a group of people were sent to Shuntian Mansion with the heads of slaves. I believe someone will come here soon.
Killing more than three hundred Buddhist slaves is a small achievement, right?
It's not like he can't even enter the city.
Just as Han Xi was thinking this, he saw a group of people approaching in the distance.
A eunuch wearing white face and no beard appeared in front of everyone, and asked in a sharp voice, "Who is the commander-in-chief of you here?"
After shouting, but seeing no response, the eunuch frowned and shouted again.
Han Xi kicked A Niu.
A Niu then came to his senses and realized that he was the highest officer in the team at this time.
After regaining consciousness, A Niu stood up with a smile and said: "I am the commander-in-chief. Can we enter the city?"
