Chapter 1168: Do You Want to Go into the City and Arrest People?
At the moment of these forty steps, a sharp whistle sounded in the queue of Xuzhou thieves, at this moment, the chaotic team was immediately not chaotic, layers of spears were erected in the array, rows of spears pointed forward, and in the front of the Xuzhou thieves lined up the firecrackers, began to set fire, rows of firebolts fired, the explosions continued, and the white smoke was filled.
The firecrackers did not raise their guns to aim at the cavalry on their horses, they just placed them on the wooden forks and fired normally, but they were close enough to each other, and there were two or three rows of volleys, and the whole team fired in large rounds, and the horses running in front were almost all shot.
The mount of the cavalry of the official army was hit, and the one who was killed was directly kneeling and dying, and the speed was too fast when he charged just now, and the momentum was too great, and he couldn't stop the momentum after falling, so he rolled forward, and the cavalry on the horse had time to get rid of the stirrup, so he rolled with the horse, and his muscles and bones were broken and killed in a few moments.
After all, horses are much stronger than human bodies, and some are not fatal after being shot, but the mounts are in pain, neighing and jumping, and making such a move under the momentum of running forward is also a disaster, and the cavalry on the horse will either be thrown down, trampled by the horse's hooves behind, or they will fall down with the horses, and the end will not be better than the former, but at this time, it is too late to contain the momentum.
Even if the horses that were hit were killed and seriously injured, and broke their legs in the jumping and falling, the inertia of rushing forward was still there, and they rushed forward like that, but the speed was getting slower and slower, and the fire gun of Zhao Ziying's fire gun dared to fire at a distance of forty steps, and he also dared to disperse to both sides immediately after firing, instead of subconsciously dodging backwards, so they separated layer by layer, revealing the companions behind.
The fire gun has been exploding, but the charge of the officer and army horse team can not stop, the back part is fine, as long as the rush is only forward, some people have seen that the front is not good, desperately want to turn the horse to dodge, but the horse in the running momentum to change direction is to fall, and then either cause chaos in the team, or be mercilessly trampled by the mounts of the companions.
This process is actually very short, but everyone in it feels extremely long, the fire gun keeps firing, the cavalry corpses continue to pile up in front of them, and the people who rush behind are constantly tripping over these corpses, and the speed is slowed down under the death and serious injury, and the explosion of the fire gun stops, and the team also stops a hundred steps away from the Zhao Ziying front, and the entire official cavalry has become a mess.
Some people got up from the ground, some people were controlling their mounts, and some people tried to turn their mounts and escape.
"It's an ambush!" Someone has already shouted out.
"Xuzhou, these gang are still big worms, let's go!" It is easy to raise morale, but it is not slow to decline, although these cavalry led by Qin Daning are elite officers and soldiers, but except for a few hundred cavalry from Nanjing, the rest are all frightened birds who have suffered losses, and it is okay to go smoothly, how can they be stable at this time.
Qin Daning's face was frightened by the cold sweat, he was also a character who had experienced it at the border pass, and he felt that he had seen any scene, but he didn't expect that there would be such a sharp firearm, but he could probably still estimate the range, and now that he was more than a hundred steps away, he should not be killed or injured again, and the current method is to sort out the team, and the cavalry will also be in big trouble if it breaks up.
"Brothers, retreat, retreat" Qin Daning shouted on the horse, and the soldiers and guards around him also shouted, the shouting was general, and suddenly there was a muffled roar in the distance, which sounded like thunder, but now it is deep winter, how can it be thunder.
The whistling sound sounded in front of the right side of the horse team, approaching rapidly, the sharp-eyed people could even see an iron ball flying, the cavalry closest to that side desperately wanted to dodge, but it was still half a beat slow, half of the body exploded into flesh and blood, the mount was frightened, the long neighing man stood up, seven cavalrymen were pierced by this cannonball, everyone's upper body was exploded, and finally the cannonball fell on the horse, smashing the thigh of the cavalry on the horse, but this does not show how good the luck of the cavalry, the horse was smashed by the huge force of the cannonball, Because the saddle dispersed the power of the cannonball, but the horse's body was bent.
"Artillery, thieves have artillery!" This wild shout was no longer shouted by the governor of the standard battalion guerrilla Qin Daning, Qin Daning's face was full of cold sweat, he no longer knew how to deal with the situation in front of him, shouldn't this cannon be available only to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court? Why do these Xuzhou thieves also have them? And how could the other party calculate so accurately, fix the artillery in that position in advance, and hit his own cavalry as soon as the cannon is fired.
The roar sounded one after another, the cannonballs broke through the air and roared intertwined, the military horse team was completely chaotic, everyone wanted to avoid scattering, but both sides of the road were full of carriages and horses discarded by the Zhao Ziying when they "escaped", how to ride horses and jump over in a hurry, and not far from the left side of the team is the canal, the shallow water in winter is enough to drown people, the more chaotic the team, the more entangled, it will not disperse.
The cannonballs fell in the middle of the team, each shell took the lives of several people or even a dozen people, the horses panicked, and constantly threw the cavalry off the horses, and even some horses were hit by the cannonballs, and the healthy horses of several hundred catties were actually beaten up and flyed, although the flight was not too high, but it was enough to kill the people nearby.
"Let's go, let's go!" There is no need for Qin Daning to say this, his personal soldiers and guards directly reached out and pulled the reins of the main general, turned the horse and walked back, and the officers and cavalry of the rear team also roughly turned the horse at this time, without any order, everyone is going to escape, who cares about what military orders at this time, I just hate not to have a few more legs.
As soon as the mount ran up, the cool breeze brought up, Qin Daning finally woke up, what to deal with the killing of the head of the Xuzhou thief, it seems that it is estimated to be a failure, this Xuzhou thief is really difficult, no wonder the soldiers and horses everywhere are so hesitant, he used to blame Nan Zhili and these people.
Before he could run a few steps forward, Qin Daning subconsciously tightened the reins, and many years of riding a horse allowed him to practice a good reaction, but at this time, Qin Daning just wanted to scold, although the sound of the cannon behind was sparse, but every sound was terrifying, not far away from this fatal place, stop the horse for something.
Qin Daning scolded and saw the reason before he could exit, in front of the main road, there was a group of cavalry waiting there, and more cavalry were gathering from all sides, and even some came down from the canal boats.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I saw a horse running towards this side on the opposite side, which made the already panicked team even more confused, but everyone also knew that they couldn't run away at this time, and if the other party wanted to annihilate themselves, they would definitely not just send this horse over.
"Surrender, or die, count twenty on my side, and don't wait for the expiration date!" The cavalryman shouted loudly.
Only then did everyone understand that the Xuzhou cavalry was not wearing black cotton clothes, but steel armor and flannel cloaks.
"Brothers, let's." Qin Daning was really unwilling to surrender, as soon as he raised his voice to shout a few words, he saw the unkind eyes of the people around him, he scolded, and regardless of the reactions of others, he beckoned his own soldiers to flee, Qin Daning finally achieved the position of Fubiao guerrilla, and wanted to make a contribution, this is to surrender the thief soldiers, and he can't wash it in this life.
It is said that everyone is a comradeship, surrendering and fleeing on both sides, but as soon as he turned his horse and walked a few steps, he heard the screams of the soldiers around him. Qin Daning scolded, waved his knife to block the attacks around him, and before he could counterattack, he was directly pounced on from his horse and fell, only to hear the elite on the other side of Wolf Mountain shouting: "The heroes of Xuzhou, the thief Qin Daning has been caught by us!" ”
The officers and cavalry who rushed to attack did not have the slightest resistance at this time, they dropped their weapons according to the order, and lay down next to their mounts with their heads in their hands.
Together, the householders and the inspectors moved the carcasses aside, and the farmers of their own granges searched for useful things, while the captives were tied up and taken away, weapons loaded onto carts, and horses gathered aside.
The dejected captives of the officers and soldiers were strung together with ropes and led towards the north, while the horseback riders of the Zhao Ziying camp who were carrying them behind had already approached, and most of the captives did not dare to raise their heads.
And Qin Daning looked at these cavalry boldly, the horse is a good horse, the teeth are small and strong, the person is a good soldier, although standing there, you can also see the usual training and state, and what makes the Fubiao guerrilla Qin Daning's eyes jump straight is that armor, and he got a set of mountain armor when he got to this position, which is covered with chain mail, which is enough to protect against arrows and knives on the battlefield, but the ordinary cavalry of this Xuzhou thief seems to be covered with an iron plate, which is combined piece by piece, so much iron from there, is it wood? ? But this luster is not, Qin Daning still wanted to take a closer look, but he was pushed hard behind him, so he had to continue to move forward, thinking as he walked, I heard that the thief in Xuzhou was less than thirty, how could this be possible, such a big situation, such an experienced use of soldiers, how could it be done by a young man.
Qin Daning didn't expect Zhao Jin to stand on the side, and he also glanced at him a few times, and Dong Bingfeng, the son of a thief Qianhu who presided over Qingjiangpu, was beside Zhao Jin.
"You are now gathering the team to the south, and defeat all the governor's standard battalion and the Wolf Mountain soldiers and horses, I estimate that those killers in Yangzhou City can't even think of escaping, and pull them out of the city!" Zhao Jin opened his mouth and said, Dong Bingfeng hurriedly agreed.
After a pause, Dong Bingfeng opened his mouth and asked, "Big brother, if they are in the city, do we want to go in and arrest people?" ”
