Chapter 1356: Ransacking the Horse Farm

Although he had not made any reconnaissance of this place beforehand, due to the relatively open terrain of the horse farm, the area could be seen at a glance from a slightly higher place in the distance, so it was easy to see the scale of the buildings here, and then referring to the general cavalry units and the establishment of the horse farm, Harugong could deduce the approximate strength of the Ming army stationed here.

Although the cavalry battalion led by him is not large, the individual equipment and combat skills are the top level in the Haihan Army unit. Therefore, despite the unfamiliar environment of the target, Harugong decided to take action immediately and take down this secret horse farm.

The cavalry battalion left some of the pack horses and men responsible for the baggage in place, while the rest of the combat cavalry was divided into two equal groups, attacking from the north and south, and outflanking the horse farm.

There were no bunkers near the horse farm that could be used to cover their tracks, so not long after the Haihan cavalry appeared, the other party had already discovered their existence. It's just in a hurry, the other party probably didn't recognize the identities of these two teams of riders, until they got closer, someone recognized the comer from the clothing as the Haihan cavalry, and then hurriedly rushed into the horse shed to lead the horse, but in a hurry, where did he have time to put the saddle bridle on the horse, and before the Ming army stationed in the local area was ready, the Haihan cavalry had already killed closer.

At that moment, there were also several Ming troops who were originally releasing their horses and were ready to meet and resist, but as soon as they saw that the Haihan army had drawn their weapons and was ready to charge, they immediately turned around and fled to the west. The Haihan cavalry was equipped with repeating muskets that were easy to use on horseback, which was something that many people knew, and just a few people went to hedge against the Haihan cavalry, most of them were shot down by muskets from afar, and they were just sent to death in vain. It is better to retreat immediately when the situation is not good, and go back to Dengzhou City to report the news first.

There were a few iron-headed people, still waving swords, rushing over, but this kind of resistance was indeed very futile, and when there were still thirty or forty meters away from the Haihan cavalry, a salvo was ushered in, and the men and horses were knocked to the ground together. The Haihan Cavalry is one of the very few combat units in the army that is fully equipped with seven-shot rifles, which makes their long-range firepower output very impressive. With such a charging attack launched by a few sporadic enemies, it was basically impossible to even get the opportunity to fight the Haihan cavalry in close combat.

After each of them suffered a volley, these Ming soldiers who bravely rushed towards the Haihan cavalry were all put down. After seeing the long-range firepower of the Haihan cavalry, the more than 20 Ming soldiers in the horse farm who had not had time to get on their horses quickly lost the courage to continue fighting, and the Haihan soldiers shouted loudly on horseback the slogan of "surrender and do not kill", these soldiers did not make any unwise moves, but laid down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

After controlling the inside and outside of the racecourse, Ha Lugong led people to take the captives to collect the corpses of the Ming soldiers who had been shot. Although the two armies fought for their own masters, Harukun, as a soldier, still maintained enough respect for their bravery in the situation of being outnumbered, and after the battle was over, these dead should not be left in the wilderness.

Due to the huge disparity in strength and the surprise attack carried out by Haihan with cavalry, the confrontation between the two sides only lasted for a short time before it ended. The cavalry battalion easily captured the horse farm with zero casualties and captured more than two dozen Ming soldiers who did not have time to flee the area.

The place where this horse farm is located is more than forty miles away from Dengzhou City in the north, and Ha Lugong does not have to worry that the fleeing Ming army can move from Dengzhou City to rescue the soldiers in a short time, so he dismounted his horse in a hurry, and let the prisoners get the account documents of the horse farm to check the status of the assets here.

The most important asset of the horse farm is naturally the war horse. Although the farm has not been established for a long time, it has produced more than 200 horses. On the roster of horses, these horses are divided into two categories: war horses for cavalry troops and pack horses for baggage, of which the number of war horses is only more than 80, and many of them have been marked as "leaving", which should have been recruited by the Dengzhou garrison.

After looking through it, Harugong called one of the captured officers to him and asked him, "Are you in charge of this place?"
