A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 222 Pursuit
On the opposite side, Najia Lazhangjing looked at the fighting situation at the bridgehead and the riverside, and was speechless. His own warriors fell one by one on the pool of blood, but could not advance an inch.A large group of archers ran around like headless chickens, firing bows and arrows at random, shouting wildly.

The firecrackers of the Ming army were so sharp, not to mention their chambers exploded, their armor-piercing ability was extremely strong, and they could fire continuously in cold windy weather?Everything in front of him was far beyond Gaia Lazhangjing's expectation.Hearing the sound of the Ming army's volleyball guns over there, and every time the flames came out, one of the warriors screamed and was knocked to the ground.

Looking at the fallen warriors one by one, Jia Lazhangjing's heart was cut like a knife, it was over, his two teams were finished, and in this short period of time, more than half of the soldiers in the two teams were killed or injured.God knows how difficult it is to replenish the warriors in the team. These sergeants have followed him across the Ming Dynasty, but now they are meaninglessly broken on this nameless bridge.

Jia Lazhangjing held on to the reins tightly, he really wanted to send two more teams of soldiers up to tell the Ming people on the opposite side that the warriors with red flags in the Qing Dynasty are not easy to mess with!However, his rationality told him that he could not do this because the terrain was limited and his troops could not be deployed. This kind of refueling tactic would only increase the casualties in his own army.

The Qing soldiers behind him also stared blankly at the battle ahead. The warriors in the banner fell one by one, but they still couldn't get closer to the bridgehead forty steps. The mere dozens of steps seemed to be a forbidden area for life.The firecrackers of the Ming army over there are the voice of the god of death. Every flash of fire and every smoke dance is mercilessly harvesting the lives of the brothers in the flag of the past.

Ironically, it seems that Mingren's casualties on the opposite side have not been seen.

The huge contrast caused the Qing soldiers behind them to look shocked. Many of them were pale and full of fear, and they no longer had the arrogance of the past.

Gaijia Lazhangjing led six teams of soldiers and sent two teams up. The rest were allocated to Shiku.

……

While Jia Lazhangjing was struggling in his heart, the battle between Qiaotou and Huoludun was still going on.

On the fire road pier, a guard standing on the right side of team deputy Huang Wei put the firecracker firmly on the stack wall, aimed at the front sight and the rear sight, and took aim at a tartar who was running left and right and wanted to rush up the gentle slope Archer, this tartar ran in a zigzag. The brothers on the fire road pier aimed at him several times, but they didn't hit him.

"interesting!"

The guard looked more closely while talking to himself.

He had already seen the running route of the Tartar archer, and when he jumped high from behind a rock, the guard decisively pulled the trigger.

There was a loud noise, and the fire door device flashed quickly, and the matchlock ignited the primer in the fire door, and a burst of flames burst out, and the guards subconsciously closed their eyes.

The primer ignited the gunpowder in the gun barrel at the same time, and amidst the deafening sound, a violent firework shot out from the muzzle.The guards saw a huge blood mist emanating from the Tartar archer's chest, and then the archer fell backwards and rolled into the river a few feet away, staining the river red.

The recoil of the firecracker is no small matter. The guard saw that he missed a little bit, but he still hit.There was a puff of gunpowder smoke rising in front of him, which was particularly pungent in the cold air. The guard sniffed it intoxicated, and let out a long breath: "Comfort!"

The whistle sounded, but it was a guard on the left side of the team deputy Huang Wei. He gave the guard a thumbs up: "Brother Liu, good gun skills!"

Huang Wei also glanced at the guard with satisfaction.

The guard said with restraint: "Brother, you are too proud."

At the same time, he swiftly drew out the stick and made a movement of clearing the chest.

"almost."

Team deputy Huang Wei said quietly that more than half of the Tartar soldiers who attacked from the river were killed or injured, and the rest of the Tartars turned around and fled in disregard of the military order.

Looking at most of the Tazi soldiers, it seems that there is no plan to increase their troops.

Suddenly the guard on his left shouted, "Two Tartar soldiers are passing over the bridge."

Huang Wei took a closer look, and saw that it wasn't, a stout Tartar soldier with a black tassel on his helmet and a flag behind his back, who seemed to be wearing three layers of heavy armor, was staggering towards the bridge, holding a huge sword in his hand. half-moon hatchet.Beside him was a Tartar, also wearing heavy armor and holding a thick machete in his hand.

It's still the team's Tartars who got the Shiku. Huang Wei was a little surprised, guessing that his servant must be beside him.

Both of them were bathed in blood, as if they had been hit by bullets, but they were mad when they yelled.Regardless of everything, they just rushed up to the stone bridge with their weapons in hand.

The terrain in this area is wide open, there will inevitably be fish that slip through the net, Huang Wei is not worried, and sneered: "Good to go, the sword and shield soldiers guarding the bridge must have been impatient, right?"

……

Guarding the right side of the stone bridge is the team's sword and shield armor. The leader of the armor sees the Huojia brothers fighting happily, but he is standing aside, staring blankly, anxious, when he suddenly sees two Tartar soldiers rushing forward. Come, I couldn't help being overjoyed: "It's finally here."

As soon as he shouted, one army of sergeants immediately followed him to meet the allocated Shiku, and another army of sergeants went to meet the house slave.

"kill!"

They rushed forward in a row on the left and right, with at least three sword and shield soldiers in front, and two sword and shield soldiers flanking and guarding.Borrowing the power of rushing down from the slope, the light of the knife flashed, and the right hand of the house slave was cut off by the oblique elbow. into his chest.

Then a few knives slashed at him, and while roaring, the house slave was knocked to the ground unwillingly.

A few sword and shield soldiers rushed in front of the Fendeba Shiku, and the Fendebashiku stared, roared loudly, and slammed the half-moon hatchet in his hand at a large shield that was coming towards him.Amidst the loud noise, the shield shattered, and his big ax seemed to split the armor of the shield soldier behind the shield with power.

At the same time, several knives were slashing at his body, which made Bashku wear triple armor, which made him feel invulnerable.However, a knife was slashed heavily on his shoulder, and the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.Pa Shiku himself was shot at that point, and couldn't hold it any longer, let go of his hand, and was pressed down by the long knife to his knees.

His face was covered in blood, like a ghost, he kept roaring, and stared at the few Ming soldiers around him.It can be clearly seen that he was shot in the abdomen and a mass of intestines came out of it.This guy can support until now, really strong enough.

The armor leader snorted coldly, strode over, swung the long knife in his hand, and the head of the allocated Shiku rolled to the ground, blood spurted out from the neck, the headless corpse twisted unwillingly, heavily Fell to the ground.

That chief licked his dry lower lip, regrettably said: "The tartars don't come here very often, it's not fun."

He looked at the sword and shield soldier whose chest armor was split by a sharp axe: "Brother Qi, are you alright?"

The sword and shield soldier said: "It's all right."

Touching his chest, he felt lingering fear. After the sharp ax that was allocated to Po Shiku shattered his big shield, he split his iron armor. Fortunately, it was exhausted, otherwise he would have been cut open.But that heavy blow also made him extremely uncomfortable, with a dull pain in his chest.

Thinking of this, he cast a bitter glance at the dead body of Pa Shiku.

The Chief Jia looked at the situation by the river, there were Tartar corpses strewn all over the place, some wounded Tartar soldiers who were not dead were crawling around by the river, and the rest of the Tartar soldiers had already fled.There was also no increase of troops from the Tartar side, and it seemed that the war was over.

He was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind him, as if a large group of war horses were coming this way, he laughed and said, "The brothers from the cavalry team are here."

……

Jialazhangjing on the side of the bridge has been unable to make up his mind whether to increase troops or retreat. At this time, whether it is the Qing soldiers attacking from the bridge deck or the Qing soldiers attacking from the river bank, the rest of the soldiers are crazy. Called back in horror.

Najia Lazhangjing also saw Fen Deba Shiku, who was commanding the attack on the stone bridge, angrily knocked over a retreating archer, led several of his own slaves, and rushed towards the bridge deck screaming.They stepped on the barbed wire on the bridge deck, and the sharp iron thorns pierced their skin, but they still staggered and rushed forward. There is no doubt that they were all shot to death on the bridge deck.

More than half of the attacking warriors of the two teams were killed and injured, and the two scorers, Pa Shiku, all died in battle. Najia Lazhangjing was heartbroken. He finally made up his mind, retreated, and detoured to this place.

At this moment, Najialazhangjing suddenly saw a large puff of smoke rising from behind the stone bridge, and then heard the sound of dense iron hooves, and he did not know how many people came.

Najia Lazhangjing was stunned for a while, and said in surprise: "It's a trick!"

He suddenly realized that it turned out that the Ming army used the small stone bridge as a lure, and most of the army ambushed around.Fortunately, I was wise enough to detect the enemy's situation in time.

Looking at the terrified expressions of the surrounding sergeants, it was obvious that he had no intention of fighting. He made a decisive decision: "Withdraw the troops and return to Tongzhou."

Immediately, all the Qing soldiers on the official road jumped on their horses and galloped back, ignoring even the slow-moving rout soldiers, and no one cared about the remains of the dead warriors and the wounded.Compared with when they came, the banner was clear and mighty, but now they were in a hurry like bereaved dogs, the banner was tilted and lost all their power.

……

The gunfire soldiers guarding the stone bridge cheered and screamed when they saw the Tartar soldiers fleeing in embarrassment.

A armor chief shouted: "Tarzi soldiers are nothing more than that, I thought they had superhuman powers."

Tian Qiming also laughed out loud. The Qing soldiers were defeated and retreated. He, the bridge guard, made a lot of contributions. He killed and wounded a lot of Tartar soldiers just under the pier in front of the bridge. These military achievements will be reported to the future. I am at least one general.

Hearing the smoke and dust getting closer behind him, Tian Qiming shouted: "Brothers, get out of the way and make way for our cavalry brothers."

The smoke and dust billowed in front of us, and hundreds of cavalry from Shun Township Fort came galloping from the official road. They were dressed in the same way as the gunfire soldiers, the only difference was that their hands were full of shining sabers and spears. on their backs.

At the forefront of the cavalry, Li Guangheng, the general manager, rode his horse to the forefront. He was skilled in equestrianism and held a large gun made of refined iron. .Behind him, there are four standard bearers, holding the cavalry banner, and then eight guards follow behind closely on horseback.Then the officers and captains of each team had flags on their backs. The flags of Shun Township Fort were still red, and a large number of fiery red flags were flying.

Hundreds of cavalry rolled in, headed by Li Guangheng, and nodded to the brothers guarding the bridge. Amid cheers, they rushed down the river from the right slope of the official road, and then went up the official road from the river bank.Hundreds of cavalry chased after the defeated Qing soldiers.
