Chapter 1107: Ambush
"Pudding...pudding...pudding..."
The sound of low horse hooves sounded, and a team of cavalry covered with armor marched from the official road on the back at a rhythm of neither slow nor anxious. This team of cavalry not only wore armor and bright armor, but also the bright red cloak behind it was particularly eye-catching. Not only that, this team of cavalry was also one person and two horses. Such a configuration was luxurious in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who has a little understanding of the Ming Dynasty military system knows that in the Ming Dynasty, there are no more than one slap in the number of cavalry soldiers, and the representative of them is the Jiangning Army under Duke Xinguo.
This team of cavalrymen is not large in number, just over 100, and it is a typical 100-man team.
When they reached a three-way intersection, the leader of the General Manager stopped. He reached out to attract a man in ordinary clothes: "Come and see, which of these two roads leads to Anqing Mansion?"
The man was a guide specially found by Jiangning Army. He looked at him and said, "Reporting to Jun Ye, both of these roads lead to Anqing Mansion. The terrain on the left is relatively flat, but it needs to pass through Wangjiang County. If you want to get to Anqing Mansion, you need to walk more than 120 miles. The road conditions on the right are poor, but it is only more than 60 miles away from Anqing Mansion. If you seize the time to travel, you can arrive in the evening today."
"That's how it is."
The president of the ranks pointed to the left without thinking, "Tell me the order, let's go the road on the left and send someone to report to the Lord Qiang behind."
"clear!"
A cavalry responded and immediately rode his horse back and galloped back.
Soon, the team of cavalry whizzed past the official road on the left...
At noon the next day, the cavalry crossed Wangjiang County and continued to head towards Anqing Prefecture. When they arrived at 80 miles from Anqing Prefecture, the cavalry located in the front was in charge of the alert.
"Sir A hundred, there is movement ahead, and a team of cavalry is coming quickly towards us."
When President Bai heard this, he immediately issued an order without hesitation, "Everyone who got off the horse immediately took the defensive formation!"
With the order of the General Manager, a cavalry immediately jumped off the war horse and led the war horse to both sides of the official road. Then the personnel were ambushed at the commanding heights on both sides of the official road, and brown besieged muskets also put ammunition on and aimed at the front.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of rapid horse hooves, seven or eight Ming army's Yebushu galloped. When they saw the cavalry who had dismounted on the roadside and prepared for combat, Yebushu, who had been galloping, quickly grabbed the reins and stopped.
President Bai asked, "What's going on?"
"Sir, when we were investigating ahead, we encountered a large group of cavalrymen from the bandits, with at least six or seven hundred people. Now they are chasing us."
"I understand." President Billion nodded: "We are here to guard, and you will go back and report to Lord Qian immediately."
"Here!"
Ye Bu responded and immediately rode away.
After a while after these nights, there was another sound of horse hooves in front of him. The leader was a team of cavalry. However, compared with the Jiangning Army, these cavalry can only be described as cold. Not only is the war horse under the crotch not very good, but the equipment on their bodies also seems to be very down.
Some wear leather armor and some wear cotton armor. As for iron armor, there are almost no weapons in them. There are all kinds of weapons in their hands, such as sabers, axes, spears, and maces, and they look messy.
However, these bandits were alert. When they saw the Ming army on both sides of the official road, the leader immediately ordered to stop moving forward. He was a little surprised and confused and observed the surrounding environment and began to retreat, which also surprised the cavalry who had originally planned to have a tough battle.
Seeing this, a Shi Chang asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
President Bai said without hesitation: "Since the bandits have retreated, we naturally don't have to be polite. Let's continue to send orders and everyone will catch up with you!"
"yes!"
The two Shichang responded and led their respective troops to press forward.
When the bandits saw the Ming army chasing us, they ran faster. They chased each other and quickly ran more than twenty miles away.
When the cavalry chased to the foot of a mountain, they found that the bandits behind were gone by a valley and disappeared.
"Well... stop moving forward."
Seeing this, General Manager Bai quickly ordered the pursuit to stop.
A Shi Chang, who was chasing him, asked in confusion: "Sir, you are about to catch up with those bandits, why have you stopped?"
The BJ did not speak, took out the telescope from his waist and looked forward for a while, then handed the telescope to his body, pointed to the left and said, "Isn't you afraid that a group of people would break out of the woods when we pass by?"
Shi Chang took the telescope and looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Sir, if the forest is suffocated, you can put down one or two hundred people. Do you also need to worry about this number of people?"
"Yeah?"
President B.C. sneered and pointed to another forest two miles to the right, "What if there are people in that area?"
"hiss……"
Shi Chang glanced with a telescope and took a deep breath. The woods could hide at least seven or eight hundred people. If there were indeed bandits ambushing there, as long as the ambush from the forest on the left front rushed over and entangled them for a quarter of an hour, the cavalry from the forest on the right side could quickly reach the enemy. In this way, we would be surrounded by bandits. If there were bandits behind the valley in front, they might not be able to fly away even if they had wings.
Seeing the cold sweat oozing from Shi Chang's forehead, General Bai snorted: "Now you understand. Don't think that we can underestimate the bandits after being defeated in Mengjin once. It should be noted that the bandits will grow up, and anyone who underestimates them will suffer a great loss."
"Sir, I understand, what should we do now?"
"Don't move for now, let the brothers dismount and rest, and wait for the arrival of the Lord Qianhu."
"clear!"
On a hillside two or three miles away from the cavalry, Liu Zongmin was lying behind a large stone, watching the Ming army who was stopping in place and cried in a hurry.
"Oh, why didn't the Ming army go forward? As long as they walk forward for a mile, I will be sure to keep them all."
Li Guo also asked Li Yan aside with some confusion: "Military advisor, could the Ming army have seen through our ambush?"
"have no idea."
Li Yan shook his head.
"It seems that the Ming army led the team is very vigilant. We have already done a lot of hidden things, but I didn't expect that he would notice it."
"Military advisor, since they have seen through us, let me lead people to attack. That is more than 200 good war horses, as well as those iron armor, sabers and muskets, all of them are good things. If our rebel army also has these things, why not be afraid of the dogs and soldiers of the court!"
