Chapter 2657: Surrounded
The cavalry of the Han army and the Zhenglan Banner cavalry under Manguertai clearly occupied one place.
The Han cavalry received the order to attack and had to start attacking the pass guarded by the tiger flag.
In order to prevent the Han army from using all their strength, Manguertai sent an Eight Banners soldier to supervise the battle.
The tiger flag artillery team guarding the passerby began to shell the enemy cavalry approaching.
"I really don't take my Han soldiers seriously. This is the third time. I want to use these Han soldiers to death!" Zhao Wu paid attention to the situation on the battlefield through the monocular telescope in his hand.
The invading cavalry rode a horse with one horse. Naturally, it was obvious that such an obvious thing could be seen clearly.
Some of these Han cavalry charged at the gate for the third time, while others were the second time.
Such a hurry to attack in a short period of time is not only tired of people, but also tired of horses.
Especially when two people ride one horse, it is obvious that even the war horses cannot charge, and the war horses are much slower than the previous two times.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of cannons kept coming from the gate, and guns fell from above the heads of the invading enemy cavalry.
Before, the enemy cavalry had only had time to fire twice before the enemy cavalry to rush to the position of the trapped horse pit in front of the pass. However, this time the cannons at the pass had been fired three times in a row, but the enemy cavalry would appear on the outer edge of the trapped horse pit.
There is still a distance from the trapped horse pit to the gate guarded by the Tiger Flag. There are also deer forts and horse-resisted obstacles in the middle, which is enough to ensure that the artillery of the Tiger Flag let each cannon fire two to three more times.
After some casualties, the Han cavalry finally arrived at the place where the horse was refusing.
Han infantrymen who rode on the same horse with the cavalry jumped off the horses and began to move these horse-resisting horses and deer forts, opening a passage for their cavalry.
However, when they were carrying things like resisting horses, the tiger flag would naturally not watch them move resisting horses without being indifferent.
A tiger squat cannon began to fire at the infantrymen.
Each tiger squat cannon will take several lives after it is fired, but this still cannot stop the fewer and fewer horse-resisted horses and deer forts blocking the pass.
As more and more horse-rejected horses were removed, a passage leading to the pass was opened.
At this time, many Han cavalry and the infantry who transported and refused horses were killed or injured.
"E Bilun, stay here, everyone else will follow me to kill!" Manguertai drove away the war horses under his crotch and rushed out first, and behind were ordinary flag soldiers of Zhenglan Banner.
The six or seven hundred Zhenglan Banner cavalry followed him toward the pass guarded by the tiger flag.
The Han cavalry, who were about to be defeated, found that the reinforcements from Zhenglan Banner arrived, and they added some morale out of thin air. The defeat was awkward and charged again.
The tiger flag artillery guarding the pass here fired a few more shots, and then threw the cannon down and chose to evacuate. Before leaving, they took away all the tiger squat cannons and medicine.
These dropped cannons blocked the middle of the pass. If the cavalry wanted to go there, they either slowed down and walked around, or they could only move the cannons away.
The infantry who had transported the horses before moved the horses and moved the cannons blocking the middle.
After such delays, Manguertai rushed up with the cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner.
The pass was abandoned by the tiger flag. Manguertai and the remaining Han cavalry rushed into the pass and rushed towards the Fifty Village Post in front, preparing to take down the Fifty Village Post in one fell swoop.
When Mangurtai brought his cavalry to the military fortress at Wushizhaiyi, the Zhenglan Banner soldiers following him also entered the pass.
And at this moment, gunfire began to sound on the slope on the side of Wushizhai Post.
On the other side, a convoy of large chariots appeared, and a small cannon was pulled inside to bombard the enemy under the Fifty Village Yicheng.
"Master, this is an ambush set by the enemy, retreat quickly!" A Bayala wanted to protect Manguertai and retreat from the gate.
However, the pass where they wanted to retreat was blocked again by the people with the tiger flag.
But this time it is not to look outward, but to the inside.
"fire!"
The cannons were full of enthusiasm, and the fiery cannons fell to where the people like Manguertai were.
At a height not far from the gate, Zhao Wu held a monocular lens in his hand and looked at the occupation in front of him. He curled the corner of his mouth slightly upward, and said, "I don't know if the guy named Manguertai is among the people surrounded."
Through the flag, you can recognize which flag of the Eight Banners surrounded by the slave thief in front of you.
Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhao Wu to recognize the Zhenglan Banner.
The tiger flag had long known that the commander of the army sent by Huang Taiji to Gaizhou was Dai Shan and the deputy commander was Mangourtai of Zhenglan Banner.
Although Mangourtai was incompatible with Huang Taiji, it was internal and externally, Mangourtai was still an important figure in the senior management of the Great Jin Dynasty.
When the tiger flag guards the pass, the number of cannons placed is limited because of the limited location.
Now that the inner surrounds, there are naturally not enough places to place more cannons.
One cannon was constantly bombarding the surrounded slave thieves.
More and more soldiers from the Zhenglan Banner and Han Army were bombarded and killed. In addition, whenever an enemy wanted to approach the pass or break through from other places, there would be musket soldiers from the tiger flag who would block it.
Although the power of the musket is not as powerful as the cannon and its range is far inferior to that of the cannon, the number of muskets is better used in close range blocking than the cannon.
Because the fire guns are loaded faster, it is easier to adjust the shooting direction and target.
In less than half an hour, the surrounded slave thieves died and injured, and the few remaining slave thieves all chose to surrender.
As for the slave thieves and Han army outside the pass, they were only repelled once when they came to rescue, and they did not dare to come to rescue again. They watched the slave thieves surrounded by the army of tiger flags being eaten up little by little.
"Deputy Secretary, we have a big fish in this website." A detachment leader came to deliver a letter to Zhao Wu with an excited look on his face.
Zhao Wu smiled and asked, "Is that true? Who was caught? Could it be the slave thief leader Manguertai?"
"It's Mangourtai, but if we didn't catch it, we were beaten to death." The captain said excitedly.
Manguertai is a senior figure in the Great Jin Dynasty. Now he has been beaten to death by them at the Fifty Village Post.
Zhao Wu smiled and said, "I did a good job and I will remember you for me."
It was the same for him that Mangourtai was alive and died. Even if Mangourtai was arrested alive, he would definitely die in the end, and he would waste their tiger flags for several days of food.
"Hehe." The captain smiled.
It was a considerable contribution to killing Mangourtai.
"By the way, the deputy commander, what should we do with those prisoners? Although there are not many, there are still many, and a large part of them are the Han army soldiers from the slave thieves." said the captain.
