Niutou Village

This once peaceful mountain village has been shrouded in war at this moment. Cao Yingmao led the Third Cavalry Battalion to attack the defense line of Niutou Village.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves kept ringing in Niutou Village, and teams of cavalry kept rushing to the defense line. The sound of muskets, explosions, the white smoke from the explosions, and the black smoke from the building burned enveloped the entire village.

Hao Yaoqi, who was burly and full of tendons, stood above a collapsed house, waving a long knife and shouting constantly, allowing the bandits to step forward to resist.

Although Niutou Village is not big, its location is very critical. The village is stuck in the middle of the official road. Anyone who wants to pass through the official road must pass through the middle of the village, so this place has become a place that Cao Yingmao must seize.

Hao Yaoqi led three thousand bandits to occupy the village and blocked Cao Yingmao's way forward.

"You donkeys are raised, you cowards will be supported by me. No one can survive if the officers and soldiers rushed in. This group of soldiers is different from ordinary court officers and soldiers. They want to build Jingguan." Hao Yaoqi waved his long sword while coaxing and frightening him to fight to the end.

However, he was not wrong to a certain extent. His subordinates were all infantrymen. If infantry encountered cavalry in the field, if they retreated, they would not even be able to run away.

Hao Yaoqi's original name is Hao Yongzhong, who belongs to Gao Yingxiang's old subordinate. He is tall and strong, originally a flag bearer. To put it bluntly, he is responsible for shaking the flag and shouting. Because he is tall, strong and brave, he has the nickname of Hao Yaoqi. After being called for a long time, no one called him the original name.

After following Gao Yingxiang for a while, he was promoted to the team post. After Gao Yingxiang died in Mengjin, he surrendered to Li Zicheng again. However, for some reason, Li Zicheng was not very interested in Gao Yingxiang's old subordinate. Later, due to Hao Yaoqi's reputation in the army, he had to promote him to become a brigade. This time he was sent to take on such a thankless thing as the palace rear.

Although Hao Yaoqi looks tall and silly, he is a person who likes to think among the bandits.

After Mengjin had suffered enough Jiangning's arms, he received the task of guarding Niutou Village this time. He knew that if he had led these thousands of people to fight against the Jiangning army head-on, the number of people would be a life of delivering vegetables. So he sent people to set up obstacles in the official road in the middle of the village with stones, wood and various objects, and then hid people behind various buildings and obstacles to resist.

Don’t say that Hao Yaoqi’s fighting style just limited Cao Yingchi’s cavalry. As we all know, the strength of the cavalry lies in mobility and impact, but its biggest disadvantage is that it is not good at attacking, so Cao Yingchi led the cavalry to attack several times, and was defeated by the bandits hiding behind the cover by stones and crossbows.

Seeing that the attack was blocked, Cao Yingmao was anxious and red in his eyes. He called out a Qianmao and pointed to the front and said, "The bandits relied on the ground to use arrows and stones to prevent our army from advancing. We can no longer waste our lives with them like this. You personally lead three hundred-man teams and rush to the bandits and rush to the bandits and use ten thousand enemies to open a passage. Can you do this?"

The Qianmao looked at the thieves who were hiding behind obstacles on the defense line arranged by the bandits in front of them and the corpses of more than ten war horses lying on the charge road ahead. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "Don't worry, if you can't destroy those bandits, you will come to see you with your head."

Cao Yingmao said impatiently: "I don't want your head. As long as you can open a road ahead, you have made a contribution. Can you do it?"

Mr. Qian said in a sure tone: "No problem!"

"Okay...got!"

"Here!"

"Ding bei bei bei..."

A light trumpet sounded, and the cavalry, who were already attacking in a hurry, suddenly retreated like a tide, which also made the bandits who were struggling to hold back breathlessly. However, before they could cheer, there was another rapid sound of horse hooves in front of them. A team of cavalry suddenly ran out from the flank and rushed towards them.

The leaders of the bandits shouted: "Hurry...shoot arrows...drive these people away!"

Although the bandits shouted very quickly, according to their experience just now, these cavalrymen would fire after rushing to about seventy or eighty meters, and would retreat after a round of gunfire. After all, the muskets in their hands needed to be reloaded after being fired. It was impossible for them to stop and get arrows in vain during this period.

But this time they were disappointed. The cavalry did not fire after rushing to the range, and even did not lift the muskets. Instead, they accelerated their speed and continued to rush towards the room.

Even Hao Yaoqi, who was standing on the roof of a dirt house, was stunned: "What... are these people crazy? What do they want to do?"

No wonder the bandits were surprised. Although the defense line built by the bandits in a hurry was not very strong and not very high, it was definitely not something that hundreds of cavalry could break through easily. If they were to force themselves, it was hard to say whether they could break through their defense line, but these hundreds of cavalry would definitely fall half of them.

"They rushed over!" A bandit pointed ahead and shouted loudly.

Yes, the cavalry did not drive away after firing like they did just now, but continued to rush towards them. Although the bandits did not understand what the Jiangning army had done, they would not be polite. The arrows and stones in their hands continued to smash them mercilessly.

"Sad..."

A war horse rushing in the front was shot by several arrows at the same time. The war horse let out a wailing cry and fell to the ground. The cavalry fell off the horse's back in an instant. Before he could stand up, he was knocked to the ground by the war horse rushing from behind and then dozens of war horses stepped over him.

"Throw!"

Before the bandits cheered, a voice came from the front. Then the cavalry took out round objects from their pockets, ignited them and threw them forward with the speed of the war horses.

"No, it's the enemy of thousands!"

The knowledgeable bandits all changed their faces when they saw these dark things falling from the sky.

The power of the 10,000 enemies made by the Jiangning Army is different from the 10,000 enemies made by the imperial court, which are not very powerful. The 10,000 enemies made by the Jiangning Army is famous for not only being powerful, but also having a very high lethality. Generally speaking, people and animals are either killed or injured within a range of more than ten meters within the explosion point, and they are extremely powerful.
