The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 177 The Nightmare of the Ming Army

Under the bows and arrows of the Jiang family army, cavalrymen of the Ming army were constantly shot and fell off their horses. The scene just a moment ago was reversed and repeated in an instant.

The Jiang family's army was fast, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.Jiang's army's arrows were getting more and more accurate, and they were about to catch up with their own side.

Cao Bianjiao was also a ruthless man who would break up immediately, and immediately ordered a thousand cavalry to stop the pursuers, and he wanted to do the act of a strong man cutting his wrists and abandoning his pawns to protect his car.

He thought that even if his thousand cavalry could not win, at least they could stop the enemy for a while.With this moment, his main force can escape an absolutely safe distance.

A thousand Ming troops turned their horses and hissed and roared, and intercepted the pursuers.

It's a pity that Cao Bianjiao still underestimated his enemy.

The [-] cavalry of Jiang's army faced the [-] Ming cavalry who turned around and counterattacked. Shan Jia ordered [-] cavalry to go up to meet them.The remaining [-] cavalry bypassed the Ming army and continued to pursue Cao Bianjiao's main force.

Not long after Cao Bianjiao ran away, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching behind him. Looking back, the cavalry of the Jiang family army chased after him. He was shocked and angry. He didn't expect the enemy to be so fast. How could their horses be so fast? quick?
He thought to himself that the cavalry and war horses under his command were all good horses, how could they not be able to shake off the enemy, it didn't make sense that the horses of a group of horse thieves were even better than the horses of the Daming Frontier Army!

Although Cao Bianjiao couldn't figure it out, he also knew that this was not the time to worry about this problem, so he resolutely sent out a thousand cavalry to stop the pursuers.

Shanjia didn't split up the troops to stop it this time, but raised its arms around its head, and then slashed forward with the long knife. The [-] black armored cavalry behind them quickly changed formation, forming a formation suitable for charging. The conical formation, with Shanjia and his two personal guards as the peak of the conical formation, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the Ming army.

Although the thousand fine cavalry of the Ming army were brave and fearless, as soon as they came into contact with the fifteen hundred cavalry of the Jiang family, they felt a huge pressure that had never been experienced before. In the cavalry formation of the Ming army.

The purpose of the Shanjia is not to wipe out the enemy, but to break through, so the conical formation is very tight, piercing into the formation of the Ming army like a huge black long knife, and the cavalry of the Ming army is like a river split by a knife They also rolled back to both sides and collapsed.

The black conical formation quickly pierced through the formation of a thousand pursuers of the Ming army, and once again sped up their horses to chase Cao Bianjiao's main force.

Cao Bianjiao was almost going crazy. He has been on the battlefield for so many years, and he has never been so embarrassed. He was chased and ran like a lost dog.At this moment, all the original pride and arrogance in his heart disappeared, and what remained was only anger and anxiety.

He suddenly had a very bad intuition.

Since the enemy can count the [-] cavalry led by him, there is no reason to let his [-] infantry go.

Based on the analysis of various information, the enemy was able to overcome the mighty Tartar cavalry several times, so there must be a large number of cavalry.But the cavalry he saw just now had only about [-] cavalry, so where did the rest of the enemy's cavalry go?
Could it be that he went to raid Hong Chengchou's rear army or Yuan Dushi's central army?This is impossible!Lao Hong has always been calm and meticulous, and will not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.It is even more impossible for the [-] army of the supervisor to give the enemy an opportunity, so the only possibility is that the enemy is eyeing his [-] infantry, so he came up with such a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

It seems that the enemy obviously wants to swallow all his [-] former troops in two.

He still doesn't know that Hong Chengchou's [-] rear army has been wiped out.And his enemy's appetite is obviously not that small, not only his [-] former troops, but also the [-] troops who went out this time are all the meat they want to eat in the bowl of the thief leader surnamed Jiang.

If it was half an hour ago, Cao Bianjiao might have felt that this idea was too crazy and arrogant.But now, after seeing the enemy's formidable infantry formation and the sturdy and light cavalry, all he has left in his heart is grief and anxiety. He comforts himself over and over again, the enemy's speed cannot be so fast, and there is still time for him to rush back .

The sudden sound of horseshoes behind him came again, and it was getting closer. Cao Bianjiao knew that the two thousand cavalry behind him must have been in danger, and he felt very sorry.

These cavalry are the elite brought out by him after many bloody battles. He did not expect that they would be lost in the Liaodong wasteland today, and they were still lost in the hands of a group of nominal horse thieves. How could he be reconciled to this? The sense of grief and indignation became more and more intense, and under the attack of rage, he couldn't help but sweeten his throat, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood, but he held it back.He knew that if he collapsed, the [-] cavalry under him would really have no choice but to die.

How proud a person is when he wins, and how painful it is when he fails, this sentence is fulfilled by Cao Bianjiao at this moment.

I don't know how long he ran, but Cao Bianjiao felt that the speed of the horse under his crotch had slowed down significantly, and the mane on the horse's neck kept dripping water on his face during the running process.

He knew that this was the time when the war horse was extremely tired.Although Mongolian horses are hard-working and suitable for long-distance trekking, running wildly in the cold weather of early winter will consume more energy than usual.What's more, he ran such a long distance in one breath.

If it weren't for these well-trained war horses, if it were ordinary untrained horses, I'm afraid they would have fallen to the ground and foamed at the mouth.

Cao Bianjiao knew that his team had reached the end of its strength, and if he continued to run, he would be fine, and many horses would be exhausted to death.

As a war general, the love for war horses is deep in his bones.His heart aches for the exhaustion of these close comrades-in-arms at the moment.Looking back, I found that the entire team had pulled out a long way, and the last cavalry had been left three or four miles away.

Everyone has different horsepower, and individual riding skills are also different, and they can basically keep pace during short-distance assaults.But once running for a long distance, the distance between each other will be opened quickly, and the whole team will be stretched very long.

Cao Bianjiao was very anxious, knowing that if he didn't rest, even if the three thousand cavalry rushed back in time, they might not have much combat power.

However, the infantry may be in danger of being attacked, and there are chasing soldiers behind. The whole body is full of blue veins.

He didn't understand, how did he get to this point?Full of ambitions, he followed Lord Supervisor to Liaodong for two months, and hadn't even fought a battle with the Tartars. How could he be bullied to this extent by a horse thief?God, what the hell is going on!

Cao Bianjiao asked the sky speechlessly, and was filled with desolation and grief for a while.

Suddenly, a lieutenant next to him yelled loudly: "My lord, the enemy seems to have not caught up. We have escaped the enemy's pursuit."

Cao Bianjiao was taken aback, slowed down the speed of the horse, stood up on the stirrup and looked back for a while, then pricked up his ears and listened for a while, indeed he didn't hear the horse's hooves as fast as a gangrene, and he didn't see half of the horse. The black figure guessed that the enemy must be underpowered, so he was freed by his side, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ride the horse slowly and stay alert!" Cao Bianjiao ordered loudly, and the order was passed down layer by layer.

What Cao Bianjiao didn't know was that he gave up chasing them not because Jiang's army was weak, but because it was unnecessary.Because the main force of eight thousand cavalry led by Ran Wu was waiting for them.

So Shanjia simply returned with his people and went to clean up the remnants of the Ming army.

And five or six miles away from Cao Bianjiao's main force, there were corpses lying on the ground all over the ground, and flags of various colors were scattered messily on the entire battlefield.Not far away were groups of captives kneeling on the ground hand and foot bound by their own belts.

Teams of black-clad and black-armored cavalry searched back and forth on the battlefield, inspecting the corpses, and stabbing those who were not dead completely, which also helped them end their suffering.

In this era, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs, no sterile operating rooms, and no suture supplies. Such a serious trauma is basically a dead end, except for a few cases of hard life.

Speaking of which, an hour ago, Ran Wu led [-] main cavalry to bypass Yuan Chonghuan's central army, only to find the [-] Ming army's former infantry alone.

After a short reconnaissance and found that the Ming army did not take any precautions, Ran Wu decisively launched an assault.

It would be a nightmare for unformed infantry to meet a large cavalry charge, let alone a considerable number of recruits among the [-] infantry.

There is almost no suspense in the battle, and it can even be said to be a one-sided massacre.

Of course, the soldiers of the Ming army who died were mainly veterans of the resistance. Many recruits were terrified when they saw the overwhelming formation of cavalry charging, and threw away their weapons and surrendered on the ground.

Therefore, the battle ended in less than half an hour.

On the one hand, Ran Wu arranged for people to clean up the battlefield and settle the prisoners; on the other hand, he sent people to report to the base camp, and at the same time sent out scouts to investigate the enemy's movements in all directions.

The battle has been fought so far, although it has not completely gone according to plan, but the tactical purpose of the first class is basically completed, and the rest is to finally encircle and wipe out Yuan Chonghuan's Chinese army.

From the captives, he has already learned the total strength and related deployment of the Ming army's attack. Regarding the [-] cavalry that Cao Bianjiao took away, he was not worried that the base camp would not be able to stop him. Instead, he was thinking about how to intercept the fish that slipped through the net. Satisfactory completion of the first phase of the goal.

"Report! General, the scouts found a group of Ming army cavalry riding slowly five or six miles to the north of our army. It looks like the main force of Cao Bianjiao cavalry being chased by Shanjia generals." A commander rode his horse over and hurriedly reported road.

"Okay, it's time to collect the nets. Leave 1000 people to guard the prisoners and continue to clean the battlefield. The others mount their horses and prepare to hunt." Ran Wu stood up, stretched his waist, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Promise!" All the generals under his command suddenly took orders. These guys were all militants. They shouted that they were unhappy in the two battles before and after, and felt that killing infantry was meaningless.Now when they heard that the main force of the enemy cavalry had appeared, they were eager to try.

　The first update arrives, and there are four more.
