When he heard the sound of "Bang! Bah! Bah! Bah!" the firecrackers sounded here, Su Geer's heart suddenly dropped.
Before he had time to think about it, Su Geer suddenly roared: "Go west, turn west!"
Shrill horns sounded one long and two short times. After a brief period of confusion, the cavalry quickly adjusted their direction and distance, began to distance themselves, and turned to the west.
Everyone knows that dense formations are the best targets for firecrackers, and the advantage of cavalry lies in mobility. Well-trained cavalry can complete formation changes in the shortest time and avoid the enemy's strike edge to the greatest extent.
“Sir, there is a swamp ahead!”
The scout flew over, panting and reminding: "We need to go around the mound in front..."
Sugar’s teeth were almost broken.
The opponent chose a good place. The Fire Guns used a dense formation to bombard them, forcing them to turn around before they could think too much. As a result, they ran a long way before the scouts came back to report the swampy mud ahead.
Not only does this require bypassing the hills ahead, but it is also time-consuming and the enemy will definitely have an ambush behind the hills. Su Geer does not believe that since the enemy has made such careful arrangements, they will let him go with just this wave.
.
But facing the dense fire cannon team at the rear, and the Ye He cavalry that was following not far away, Su Geer did not dare to think too much, and could only grit his teeth and roar: "Detour, go around from the south, pay attention
,Keep your distance when going around the hillside,..."
The formation of nearly a thousand cavalry can be imagined. Originally, the land near the river bank was a bit soft, and it had rained a few days ago, which made this area look solid. However, hundreds of people were swarming in front of it.
As it passed by, the entire muddy ground was quickly trampled into mud, and the cavalry following behind would inevitably suffer some hardships.
From time to time, a horse stumbles and falls, and the horse team that keeps running at high speed can easily cause a series of chaos, crowding, collisions, trips and falls due to such a slip. The losses caused by this chaos are not even greater than those caused by the previous fire cannon attack.
The loss is small.
It can be said that we are really desperate to choose a route. The scouts we sent earlier were just exploring the route and did not really conduct a detailed exploration and search of the surroundings. But having said that, along the bank of the river, there are dense reeds and grasses, thick woods and shrubs, and the topography
It was also slightly uneven. Even with twice as many scouts, it would be difficult for them to complete a search of an unfamiliar area in such a short period of time.
He Huchen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, tried his best to suppress the thought of speeding up the team, and tried his best to keep the team moving at a stable speed. At this speed, of course, it was impossible to overtake the four-legged cavalry, but there were Zuo Liangyu and
Yang Zhaoji, such a three-party encirclement will definitely make these Horqin people pay a heavy price.
What he needs to guard against is the Horqin people's desperate counterattack when they are desperate. If they are caught off guard, they may be defeated by the opponent. Therefore, he would rather be slower and more steady. As long as he launches along the planned route, the three-stage attack will be carried out no matter how rough the rhythm is.
He Huchen didn't believe that a group of defeated soldiers who had suffered heavy losses could still have strong fighting spirit and withstand repeated rounds of fire.
Yang Zhaoji silently watched the Horqin cavalry roaring from the side of the breakthrough. The red cloth tied to his sheathed steel sword suddenly waved down. Behind him were the archers hidden in the bushes, woods and hillsides.
Having already drawn the bow, the dense rain of arrows rolled up a dark cloud in the sky and floated down.
At the same time, a small group of archers ambushing on the other side quietly brought up a rain of fire along with the rain of arrows, forming an arc-shaped ring of fire along the reeds and shrubs.
, boosted by the north wind, the fire quickly became fierce in just a few breaths, surging along the side of the river bank and pressing towards the south.
Su Geer had actually already anticipated that it would be difficult to escape this time, but he did not expect that the other party would be so vicious.
While using fire attacks to block his way north, he also took advantage of the situation to launch a wave of arrow rain. Although the damage of this round of arrow rain to the entire cavalry was limited, it disrupted the entire movement formation and the entire team.
Being squeezed into this dense area and chaotic, it directly caused the time to find a more suitable path to be missed.
"Go west, continue to go west, ignore the fire, rush over, the fire in that section of the grassland is not big,..."
Tazhai’s high-pitched voice was particularly powerful among the chaotic noise, “Don’t be afraid, the way out is through this section! The Han people don’t have cavalry, they can’t catch us!”
As he took the lead in charging towards the direction where the fire was gradually spreading and was about to form an encirclement circle, dozens of riders roared up and rushed out of the entire circle where the encirclement was about to be encircled. Seeing that Tazhai finally broke through.
Along the bloody road, the following Horqin cavalry swarmed up and quickly expanded the gap even wider.
"Katata!" A large group of chaotic cavalry rushed out of the sea of fire regardless of life and death. Like a fire demon monster, countless people were spit out from the fire demon's big mouth.
Zuo Liangyu held his breath. Likewise, his hand was already holding the steel knife and his eyes were fixed on the front.
“Get ready, take the gun!”
Along with a series of passing commands, Zuo Liangyu felt a burst of pride in his heart when he saw the soldiers following the steps quickly or slowly or in a hurry.
Tazhai and a group of cavalry swept past, like furious tigers, clattering through the fire demon's formation.
“Bang! Bah! Bah! Bah!”
The sound of firecrackers and the excited roars of the soldiers echoed through the sky.
Suger did not expect to encounter a fatal blow at this time, which was even more fierce and intensive than the previous wave of attacks.
Zuo Liangyu took a deep breath, held the knife in both hands, and stared fiercely ahead. Every time he took a step forward, he could hear a round of firecrackers exploding like exploding beans.
He must maximize the effect of this attack so that the Horqin people finally understand what an ambush is.
…
Feng Ziying dismounted leisurely and sideways, and Baoxiang was the only one following him.
Zaisai was the only one there. He saw Feng Ziying dismounting from a distance, so he smiled and held his hand.
“Master Feng!”
“Master Zaisai, how about I say goodbye to menstruation?” Feng Ziying said with a smile on her face.
“It’s not good.” A smile appeared on Zai Sai’s face, “Sitting in the sleepy city, anxious,...”
"Yes, Lord Zaisai, please don't show off your Chinese skills. Well, the timing of using these idioms is not good, and the meanings expressed are not appropriate..." Feng Ziying was dumbfounded. It seemed that Zaisi was still practicing hard during this period.
He was already able to converse with himself in Chinese, but now it seems that he has to work hard to deepen his attainments. Knowing Chinese and being proficient in Chinese are two different concepts.
Zai Sai didn’t mind being poured cold water on by Feng Ziying. It was normal for words to fail to convey what he meant. As long as he used them boldly and often, this situation would soon be improved.
"Master Feng, what you said is too hurtful." Zaisai smiled and shook his head, "If you can bring me good news, can I become overjoyed and elated?"
"Well, these two words are used well, but I understand that there must be good news. As for whether you can reach the state of being overjoyed and elated, it depends on whether you are satisfied. But I believe that he who is content is always happy.
Suitable for anyone and at any time.”
Feng Ziying is very willing to teach the other party how to achieve some "advanced attainments" in Chinese. It is a good sign that the other party is willing to learn and deepen his Chinese attainments.
“Furthermore, my understanding is that good news is always mutual, and friends should be like this, but the news I received is not like this, what do you think?”
Feng Ziying's words made Zaisai ponder for a moment, "Are you talking about the Horqin people? Please forgive me, they are not from the Inner Khalkha people. I can't do anything. I even did some dissuasion, but unfortunately, Hong Guoer is probably not very good.
I am satisfied to see the close relationship between us. He seems to have followed some of Nurhaci’s instructions, so I can only remind you..."
Feng Ziying's eyes were sharp and she looked directly at the other person. Zaisai also looked back calmly, "Master Feng, I, Zaisai, have always said that when it comes to becoming big, I will not do things like doing one thing in person or behind the scenes."
Feng Ziying stared at the other party for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I believe Mr. Zasai, well, the Horqin people are arrogant and need a lesson. I think there will be news soon, and then Mr. Zasai can also take this opportunity.
Please give Hong Guoer a good warning and think twice before doing anything in the future."
Feng Ziying's confident attitude surprised Zaisai, and he was also wondering in his heart, did Ye Hebu really want to send out their cavalry to help in the Great Monday War?
He specially sent someone to ask Busia Mara, who told him clearly that the Yehe tribe's cavalry would not fight the Horqin people, and that would not be in the Yehe tribe's interests.
As far as he knew, only the Yehe cavalry could be used in the entire Yongping Prefecture, and it was impossible for the Jizhen cavalry in Shuntian Prefecture to go south.
Although he was shocked and confused in his heart, there was nothing strange on Zaisai's face. He smiled calmly and said: "If you can teach the Horqin people a lesson, I will be happy to see it happen."
"Very good, I believe it won't be long before Sir Zasai will hear the good news." Feng Ziying said nothing more and got to the point: "According to the decree of the imperial court, Sir Zasai, we will redeem the soldiers of the Beijing camp with two hundred thousand taels of silver."
The court has agreed and will deliver it in the near future. According to our previous agreement, we will use tea, cloth, grain, salt and some iron materials as discounts to deliver it to you. The specific matters can be discussed in detail and left to the merchants.
conduct."
Zai Sai was not surprised at this point. If the Zhou Dynasty court was not even willing to take advantage of this, then he felt that it would be difficult for the emperor to secure his position. The key was to say, "Very good, then what's next?"
What? Master Feng, please don’t tell me that half of this is good news.”
