Zhang Yingmeng judged that the firelight was less than a mile away from him at most, even if the Ming army extinguished the torch camouflage, this vertical horse was a sprint away, and when his saber cut down the gunners, the Ming army might not even light the torches.

What's more, Fan Shaozu hasn't found it yet, maybe the Ming army in front of him is Cao Hongzu's people, if he can catch a few prisoners, he may be able to ask where Fan Shaozu's department is.

He then ordered the lieutenant general to lead the cavalry to attack the enemy's artillery, and then let the infantry disperse and move forward steadily.

When the Ming army's cannon sounded for the third time, his five hundred cavalry had already rushed out howling, and in an instant, they arrived at more than 100 steps of the enemy formation.

Zhang Yingmeng estimated that the cavalry would be able to rush into the Ming gunners with a round of shells at most, and then a one-sided slaughter.

However, to his surprise, the Ming artillery roared again, but the cannonball fell into his infantry formation, and it seemed that he did not notice that hundreds of cavalry were heading straight for them.

He had a bad feeling in his heart, and the next moment, a long, thin line of flames shone out of the night.

With the roar of dense firecrackers that shook people's scalps, Zhang Yingmeng's eyelids jumped suddenly—he saw that his hundreds of cavalry seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and the forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and he could only see countless torches scattered on the ground, beating weakly in the night.

What's going on?! Zhang Yingmeng suddenly felt that he was dreaming, there was no light in the arquebus in the night, where did the hammer come from?

Almost without pause, the sound of guns sounded again in the distance, and the dozens of horsemen who had survived the first round of shooting immediately stopped moving.

Zhang Yingmeng's foot soldiers had been killed by three or four hundred people under the shelling, and they had seen their own cavalry rushing up, but they could then deal with those terrifying cannons, so they all moved forward with the commander in one breath.

At this time, he saw that hundreds of cavalry disappeared in an instant, and he didn't know what kind of demons and monsters were hidden behind the dark night curtain, and Zhang Yingmeng's soldiers immediately stood in place.

The loud sound of artillery appeared again at the right time, and the whistling iron ball flew into the Qing army's formation, and with a terrible scream, some people began to turn around and run.

Seeing this, Zhang Yingmeng desperately drank and stopped, but it backfired, the more he shouted "Don't retreat", the more people ran backwards.

The artillery of the Ming army showed no mercy and was still pouring shells at an extremely high frequency. Zhang Yingmeng was in a dilemma, but in fact, he was extremely afraid that an iron ball would fall on his head.

It wasn't until the dirt stirred up by a cannonball hit him in the face that he didn't dare to hesitate anymore and urgently ordered the whole army to retreat.

Fighting on the march and retreating is definitely a skill, especially at night.

Under Zhang Yingmeng's order, coupled with a large number of artillery pieces behind him to harvest lives, the Qing soldiers had already thrown the things they had practiced in the past into the clouds.

More than 3,000 people completely lost order, and the strong ones just flipped the people who stood in the way to the ground and fled for their lives, and the horsemen on horseback trampled all the way through.

On the side of the Dragon Guard, Zhu Linmiao saw that the Qing army had not done much and retreated, but he was worried that there was a deception, so he only let two companies of hussars chase the defeated army from behind, and also sent two companies of dragoons to cover behind them.

Unexpectedly, the captives had no fighting spirit, and more than 100 hussars chased after them, and the short guns of the reed wheel sounded at a glance, and they were immediately frightened and cried wolves, and ran more and more desperately.

It's just that all the grain and grass in the Boluo army were taken away by Azig, and the Qing army on Yanping's side has not eaten enough for a long time. Zhang Yingmeng's subordinates didn't run three miles away, and most of them were so tired that they fell to the ground.

The hussars in charge of chasing the enemy did not even bother to cut them later - the Qing soldiers were all lying on the ground, and the sabers really couldn't reach them.

When the infantry of the Dragon Guard Brigade arrived, they effortlessly surrendered the weapons of the captives, and it took a great deal of effort to gather these defeated soldiers who were paralyzed on the ground.

"Cao Hongzu?" Zhu Linmiao looked at the several Jianyu officers in front of him and asked, "Then where is Jiang Zhengxi's department?" ”

Several people looked at each other in despair, and they all shook their heads.

"My lord, so there is another group of Ming troops on the east side of the camp." Zhang Jiayu arched his hand and said, "Mr. Jiang may be there." ”

Gu Yanwu immediately wondered: "According to the confessions of these prisoners, it was the Ming army that took the initiative to raid the Qing army camp. Could it be that General Jiang has any strategy to break the enemy? ”

Zhu Linmiao pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "If he can break the enemy, we will help each other." If not, then answer him. ”

He immediately ordered: "Order, the infantry and cavalry of the Dragon Guard will leave immediately, and follow me to reinforce Jiang Zhengxi."

"The camp is on guard, and if there is an accident, respond at any time."

"Yes!" The officers replied in unison.

……

"Lord Baihu, the thieves are still chasing behind," a short and thin Ming soldier held a firearm almost as tall as him, and said with a bitter face, "Otherwise, let's descend......

"Fart!" Zhao Chuer panted and said, "Lao Tzu still has twenty acres of fertile land at home, and his wife and children are eight years old, and they are taken prisoner, how can Duan Dean let them go?" Duan Dean is another hundred households in his guard, and he has a grudge against him, so he used some money this time and did not go out with the army.

"But I ......"

"Li Shishi, I can tell you, Tartar is so manly, especially if you are so thin." Zhao Chuer scared him in a deep voice, "Be careful that you were sold to the barren mountains in the north and used as a male concubine." ”

Zhao Chuer said and looked at the chasing soldiers behind him, but his heart was very bitter.

He is Cao Hongzu's hundred households, and he has always been a little smart. The military camp was attacked tonight, Cao Garrison led the army to flee north, he calculated in his heart, Jian Yu must be chasing the team, if he went with Lord Cao, he would not be killed by the pursuers.

So he took twenty of his men with him, and took advantage of the chaos to secretly flee to the south. Unexpectedly, not long after running out, he encountered thousands of captives attacking from the side.

In desperation, he could only run east in the direction of Jianyu's travel, and at this time, he was even frightened and tired, only to feel that his legs and stomachs were turning, but the captives behind him were still chasing after him relentlessly.

In fact, behind him was Fan Shaozu's people. The Qing army robbed the grain and grass and rushed back to the barracks in a hurry, not even noticing that there were about 20 people in front of the team.

It's just that Zhao Chuer fled all the way east, and he was in the same direction as them, as if they had been "chasing after him".

After running for a while, Zhao Chuer suddenly saw a flower in front of him, and he saw a forest of torches in the distance, and I don't know how many people were waiting.

"Who is this, who is this......" Li Shishi's face was shocked like ashes.

When Erdenbu saw dozens of torches coming towards his defensive line, he had a preconceived idea that it was the Ming army that had come to attack him, but for the sake of caution, he still sent someone to give the order.

"Purple Qi is coming from the east!"

Zhao Chuer was stunned for a moment when he heard a hoarse roar in the distance, "Come, what are you doing?" He reacted and turned to run.

The Qing soldiers who asked for the password glanced at each other, turned their heads and shouted, "It's the Southern Barbarians who sneak attack!" ”
