Chapter 135 Great Victory and Beheading
However, until now, these people still have confidence in their horse thieves brothers, as long as they rush to the front of those Wuzhaibao soldiers, those officers and soldiers will only be slaughtered.

Amidst the gunpowder smoke, seeing the hundreds of horse thieves looming and about to rush to the officers and soldiers, a loud noise was heard, followed by screams, and the front of the formation over there was in chaos.Then I saw countless horse thieves come back screaming and flattering their horses, all of them looked terrified.After some horse thieves broke up and came back, they didn't return to Liu Shaoan's side, but beat their horses and ran away by themselves.

Seeing the horse thieves retreating back like a flood, Liu Shaoan was furious. He drew out his knife and hacked to death a horse thief screaming and fleeing in front of him.These people were originally a mob, and they gathered under Liu Shaoan's sect just to loot, burn and kill.At this time, they were defeated, and they had no energy. How could they pay attention to Liu Shaoan's order?

Liu Shaoan stood blankly on the spot, not understanding why he was defeated like this. More than 400 strong cavalry attacked more than 100 infantry of the opponent, and they were defeated like this before touching the opponent's body. This made Liu Shaoan unacceptable .The horse thieves beside him saw that the situation was gone, and the hundreds of brothers who fled back were all running away on horseback. Now there were only more than 100 cavalry beside him, and they also looked anxious.Look at the Wuzhaibao sergeants on the other side, there is also a cavalry team, if they chase, the consequences will be disastrous.

A little leader persuaded: "The head of the family, run away, brothers are defeated, if you don't run away, it will be too late when the officers and soldiers from Wuzhaibao come after you."

Liu Shaoan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's withdraw, this debt will be recovered with interest one day."

He rode his horse to start, and looked at Liu Ke, who was stunned beside him, with resentment. Brother Liu Kezhi glanced at him and said angrily: "Second brother, third brother, the officers and soldiers of Wuzhaibao are so powerful, why didn't you say it before? Hurt me?" Lost so many brothers?" He said angrily as he rode away.After listening to Liu Shaoan's words, there were also several Kelanshan horse thieves beside him who also turned their heads to look at the two brothers viciously.

Liu Ke was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Liu Shaoan was walking forward, he hurriedly chased after him, and shouted: "Brother, listen to me..."

……

On the side of Wuzhaibao sergeants, seeing the horse thieves rout, the Taiping Village and the miners' barracks not far away were filled with jubilation. Eunuch Ma Jiuying, who had been worried on the wall of the village, also smiled and laughed non-stop.

Huang Laifu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these horse thieves looked ferocious, but they were so vulnerable. They killed and injured more than 70 opponents, but he didn't have a single casualty. This is really a great victory.And my own soldiers, after this battle, will also truly become qualified fighters from a recruit.

He exhaled, looked at the happy-looking soldiers beside him, and shouted sharply: "The order is for the cavalry to attack!"

※※※

Under Huang Laifu's order, Jiang Dazhong led a team of Wuzhaibao cavalry to pursue them, and in the team, one general flag rested in place, and the other general flag was to clean up the battlefield and collect those horses that were not dead and running around. , A total of fifteen uninjured horses were obtained.Those injured horses will also be killed and made into various meats to improve the miners' food.

There were also some horse thieves who were moaning on the battlefield and hadn't died for a while, but they were hacked to death with one knife, and their heads were cut off, and a total of 78 horse thieves' heads were obtained.In addition, there are dozens of weapons left by the horse thieves, which are also put away together.For these heads, according to the military regulations of Wuzhai Fort, they will be counted together at that time, and they are not allowed to share privately.

Don't talk about cleaning the battlefield here, just talk about Jiang Dazhong leading more than 100 Wuzhaibao cavalry over there to chase the horse thieves.Each of these cavalrymen is equipped with a pair of iron armor, a brass handle, a sharp waist knife, a lance, a joint bow, and thirty large arrows.During the entire battle, they and their horses had been recharging their energy and energy, and those horse thieves, after a fierce battle charge, most of their horsepower had been exhausted.

In addition, these horse thieves had been shattered before. When the Wuzhaibao cavalrymen chased them, they just ran away and did not dare to turn around to fight back. The officers and soldiers were knocked off their horses.When the Wuzhaibao cavalry pursued, they used bows and arrows and pistols to shoot when they were far away, and attacked with lances or sabers when they were closer.Soon, more than 50 horse thieves were killed.

Jiang Dazhong was killing happily with an iron spear in his hand, and from time to time some horse thieves were picked off by him.Jiang Dazhong felt that the wooden lance was too light, so he didn't take advantage of it, so he specially asked a military craftsman to make this iron spear for him. It was three meters long and weighed twenty catties.

Liu Shaoan took Liu Ke's brothers and some horse thieves beside him, and they kept fleeing. He heard the screams behind him. It was obvious that the Wuzhaibao cavalry were chasing after him, and he was furious. Crazy, shouted: "Wuzhai thieves are deceiving people too much."

As soon as he pulled out his horse, he turned around and shouted, "Follow me to meet the enemy."

It turned out that some horse thieves beside him were also very angry. These horse thieves had always been galloping across the northwest of Shanxi without any opponents, but now they were beaten so embarrassingly by these Wuzhai Fort officers and soldiers.In addition, it turned out that the more than 100 horse thieves beside Liu Shaoan had never fought against the sergeants of Wuzhai Fort, so they didn't see clearly the failure of the more than 400 horse thieves before.Therefore, the fear of the soldiers of Wuzhai Fort is not so strong.

At this time, after listening to the words of the master, he saw that the master was leading the horse. These horse thieves gathered around Liu Shaoan, screaming wildly, brandishing their weapons, and patted their horses towards the chasing cavalry of Wuzhai Fort. welcome.And Liu Ke's brothers, also wielding long knives, followed behind Liu Shao'an.

Jiang Dazhong shouted: "Good time."

He controlled the horse under him with his legs, and the iron gun in his right hand was tucked under his armpit, holding it vaguely in his hand, with the tip of the gun pointing forward, feeling that the iron gun in his hand was connected with his soul.The left hand held a pistol, the pistol had been filled with ammunition, and the matchlock was burning.

And some Wuzhaibao cavalry behind him also held their lances in the same posture, and some of them who were good at riding also held pistols in their left hands and used their legs to control the horses under them.Dozens of people in a team of ten, screaming wildly, rushed towards the horse thieves in a gust of wind.

After a dozen or so steps, the pistols in the hands of Jiang Dazhong and others rang. After a burst of bangs, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and a dozen horse thieves on the opposite side screamed and fell off their horses. Jiang Dazhong also saw that the leader-like The horse thief was hit in the shoulder by his pistol and fell to the ground screaming.

Regardless of whether this person lived or died, two people Jiang Dazhong knew well came up to him, brothers Liu Ke and Liu Kechang. Qiu Ran's face was full of ferocious expressions, he roared wildly, brandished a long knife in his right hand, and rushed towards Jiang Dazhong with a roar.

And behind him is his younger brother Liu Kezhi. Hushi's body is a little sluggish. It is obvious that after being beaten by Jiang Dazhong that time, the injury has not fully recovered, but the fierce look is not inferior to his second brother Liu. can.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous!Obviously Liu Ke's brothers are already desperately trying.

The two sides urged their horses to pass by each other like a gust of wind!
It is said that an inch is long and an inch is dangerous.When the two sides missed each other, Jiang Dazhong's horse was a few steps away from Liu Ke. Liu Ke's long knife could not cut Jiang Dazhong's body, but the iron lance in Jiang Dazhong's hand pierced Liu Ke's chest easily. And picked him on the gun, led him away from the horse, and met Liu Kezhi who came after him.

With a sound of "Peng!", a mist of blood and pieces of meat flew everywhere, and there was a scream, accompanied by the sound of bones being broken, brothers Liu Ke and Liu Kezhi collided and turned into a pile of pieces of meat.

Jiang Dazhong's horse was still flying forward, and he was still holding a lance in his hand, but his body, face, and horse were all covered with flesh and blood on his gun, and his whole body seemed to be blood. People, only one pair of eyes still flickering.That terrifying look made the horse thieves who rushed up afterwards frightened.

Not to mention that his big leader was knocked to the ground by a shotgun, Liu Ke and Liu Kezhi brothers died so ugly, these horse thieves who rushed up collapsed, they either scattered in a loud bang, desperately beat their horses and fled, or Kneel down and surrender directly.No horse thief dared to fight against the cavalry of Wuzhai Fort.

At this moment, I heard a violent vibration coming from the ground in front of me, and then hundreds of officers and soldiers on horseback appeared, holding a banner with the word "Tian", the leader was a man in full armor, riding on a horse. , kept roaring in his mouth: "Kill, kill the thief!"

It was Chibao who was on guard, Huang Laifu's third brother-in-law Kanda Daifu, who finally arrived after receiving Huang Laifu's call for help.

※※※

In this battle, except for the more than 500 horse thieves who escaped, all the more than 100 horse thieves were killed or captured. Huang Laifu did not treat them politely, and directly ordered them to be beheaded. Head to exchange military merit.

Especially after he received the news that all the villagers in Song Village were killed by horse thieves the next day, and seeing the tragic scene there, he felt that it was right to kill these inhuman horse thieves.Huang Laifu ordered that the remains of these villagers be buried.

In addition, Liu Shaoan, the leader of the horse bandits, was also captured. After Liu Shaoan was wounded by Jiang Dazhong, he fell off his horse and was captured by officers and soldiers of Wuzhaibao.As for Liu Shaoan, Huang Laifu decided to escort him to Taiyuan. As the leader of the horse bandits, he had countless lives in his hands.

This time, more than 300 intact horses and more than 400 swords and other weapons were also captured. According to Chenghua's rules, these captured humans, animals, equipment, etc. were all given to those who captured them. Naturally, Huang Laifu stayed unceremoniously.

After the victory in this battle, the entire land of Taipingzhuang was naturally a sensation.

With 500 officers and soldiers fighting more than 400 horse thieves, only one person was injured, but more than [-] opponents were killed or captured. This can be said to be a brilliant victory.Not to mention Ma Jiuying's father-in-law was grinning from ear to ear, even the third sister's husband Tian Dafu was also grinning from ear to ear.Even the miners in the village, as well as some local people, also crowded around to watch.On both sides of the street, the soldiers from Wuzhai Fort came back to the village.
