Chapter 885: Malinggang Ambush (2)
In a short period of time, Man Dahai led thousands of cavalry to storm the mountain pass at all, and was beaten back by the fierce muskets of the Ming army, there was no way, if the cavalry could charge at full speed, maybe they would have gone out a long time ago, relying on the speed, full assault, the musketeers wanted to block the three or four thousand cavalry in the mountain pass, but it was not so easy.
However, Qin Mufeng had already anticipated the possible situation, this was not the first time that the Tianwei Army had fought such an ambush, not to mention the far, just to say the near, Xu Yifan ambushed Jierharang in the area of Zheng County, it was also the same tactic, relying on firepower, defending according to danger, relying on sharp firearms, so that the cavalry had nowhere to escape!
In just a few moments, the casualties of Mandahai's infantry had reached hundreds, and this was only in front of the mountain pass, not counting the dead and wounded by the smoke and fire in the back.
Can't rush out, can't rush out at all!
"U-turn, fuck, turn around immediately, blast to the rear, rush out!"
Since he couldn't rush out from the front, Man Dahai could only hope to rush out from behind, and the cavalry turned around again and rushed towards the mountain pass behind.
The entire Malinggang is only five miles away, for the cavalry, it is really nothing, even for the infantry, the full-speed impact, it is only a quarter of an hour, but now, the whole army is in a mess, where can it still run, the cavalry and infantry collide with each other, but it slows down the speed of the army's escape.
Finally, Man Dahai led the front army to assault over, and in front of him were huge boulders and rolling logs blocking the way, and it was also a dense group of muskets!
Man Dahai complained bitterly, specially, how many musketeers did this Ming army gather, this time it is going to die! The distance between the two sides is one or two hundred paces, and the Manchurian infantry cavalry can only be beaten passively, and if they get a little closer, the bullets will come at them!
"Someone, give the order, the infantry immediately clear the roadblocks in front, quickly, clear all the boulders and wood to the side of the road, the cavalry will release arrows with all their might, grandma's, Lao Tzu will fight with them, release arrows, release arrows!"
Man Dahai suddenly remembered at this time that his cavalry was all Manchurian elite cavalry, and he was best at riding and shooting.
Three or four hundred infantry were all driven to the front at this time, clearing the stones and logs on the official road, this is a chore, and it is a deadly drudgery, standing in the front, naturally the most dangerous, the musket of the Ming army has no eyes, specializing in cavalry, not infantry, it is all that unlucky, which one was shot, the Shanhaiguan infantry who surrendered this time poured blood mold, and was held by the Manchurian elite cavalry with a saber on the neck, driving away the roadblocks on the official road, The Manchurian cavalry behind was constantly shooting at the outside of the mountain pass, and the Ming army with feathered arrows went straight to the mountain pass.
Although the smoke is filled, affecting the line of sight, but one or two thousand elite cavalry together with the arrows, the pressure on the Ming army is still not small, after all, the Nanjing right town of the mountain pass on this side of the elite cavalry is only three hundred, in the face of one or two thousand Manchurian elite arrows shot out, had to be evaded, the effect of the blockade, is naturally worse, and the infantry continue to clear the barricades, without the blocking of the barricades, once the Manchurian elite cavalry breaks out, defeats the elite of the right town of Nanjing, and wants to leave people behind, it is a pipe dream.
Zhou An, who was in charge of blocking in the back, stomped his feet urgently, if he let the Manchurian elite cavalry rush out, it would be very fatal, after all, the Manchurian infantry cavalry in the valley was not a few!
"Shoot, shoot with all your might, use the fastest speed, shoot all the bullets out to Lao Tzu!"
Zhou An roared angrily, however, Zhou An still overestimated his strength a little, three hundred people, three hundred muskets, naturally the power is extraordinary, but once the roadblocks are cleared, the galloping Manchurian cavalry still has no problem if they want to break through the defense line of three hundred people in the right town of Nanjing.
Two or three hundred infantry, it took less than two quarters of an hour to clear almost all the roadblocks in front of them, although the Shanhaiguan infantry suffered heavy casualties, but after all, the roadblocks were opened, and the cavalry finally galloped!
It's just that before the Manchurian cavalry launched a surprise attack, behind, the sound of horses' hooves had already sounded rapidly, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, and there was a dense sound of gunfire!
Man Dahai fled to the back, and the Nanjing Right Town Elite Cavalry in front of the valley mouth naturally would not wait stupidly, and the five hundred elite cavalry rushed up from behind, and the muskets in their hands continued to shoot!
The Manchurian cavalry behind was unlucky, with their backs to the pursuers, a wave of bullets hit, and they didn't even have a chance to dodge, they had already become ghosts under the gun.
Man Dahai was in a hurry, roared angrily, commanded the cavalry under his command to desperately assault forward, and no longer cared about casualties, of course, the cavalry at this time did not need to be ordered by Man Dahai, they ran wildly, rushed out to the sea and the sky, and staying here was a dead end!
Seeing that the Manchurian elite cavalry was about to rush out of the mountain pass, Zhou Andeng was in a hurry, picked up his spear, and roared sharply: "Nanjing elite cavalry, fight, charge!" ”
Since the musket can't stand it, then hand-to-hand combat!
Three hundred cavalry, lined up in three columns, launched a charge towards the chaotic Manchurian cavalry, at this time the Manchurian cavalry panicked, like a mess, chaotic, where can still be able to stop the Nanjing right town elite cavalry for two days to recuperate, the Manchurian cavalry was shocked in all directions!
At this time, where can Mandahai still take care of the battle? As long as you can run for your life, whatever, run!
2,000 cavalry frantically fled for their lives, however, there were interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and more than 2,000 Manchurian cavalry were pressed and beaten by 800 elite cavalry from the right town of Nanjing, which was really rare.
Mandahai fled while fighting, and the eight hundred elite cavalry were in hot pursuit, chasing out a distance of more than ten miles all the way, Mandahai still couldn't throw off the elite cavalry of Nanjing Right Town in front of him, Qin Mufeng personally led the elite cavalry like lightning, constantly slaughtering the rout of the Manchurian elite cavalry!
They must not be allowed to escape!
Qin Mufeng was also a little anxious in his heart, he had to completely cripple this Manchurian cavalry, otherwise, once they were rectified and recovered, they would still become the fierce enemies of the Tianwei Army and the Three Towns of Nanjing!
At this moment, there was another burst of dust in the distance, and a cavalry rushed from a distance!
Qin Mufeng's heart was shocked, there was a cavalry, this was ......
Immediately, Qin Mufeng understood, this is the banner of the Tianwei Army, it is the cavalry of the Tianwei Army! Haha, this time it is difficult to fly in the Manda Sea!
Yes, Zheng Shouying led the elite cavalry of the 1,000-day mighty army to chase all the way from Lanyang, completely blocking the way of the Manchurian cavalry, there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground!
