Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh mantis arm as a car
Looking at the team that was rushed to pieces, Sun Kewang shook his head in disappointment and sighed: "Originally, we could expect those hungry soldiers to delay the return of the cavalry and buy some time for the leather armored soldiers, but now it seems
But it’s impossible.”
The rogue bandits under Li Zicheng are mainly divided into three classes. The first class is the old camp that has followed Li Zicheng for at least several years. Each of them is equipped with iron armor and has relatively sophisticated weapons. Each of them also has a war horse. These people fight bravely.
He was also extremely loyal to Li Zicheng and was the first-class main force among the rogue bandits, but he was also the rarest in number, never exceeding 6,000.
The second class is those officers and soldiers who surrendered. Since they generally bring their own weapons and armor and have received the most basic training, although they are not as elite as the old camp, they are still good among the rogue bandits, so they can also be regarded as the main force of the rogue bandits.
.
The third class is the peasants who were brought here. These people have the largest number among the bandits, and their treatment is also the lowest. They have neither received any military training, nor any martial arts skills, nor any weapons and armor. Many of them have neither any military training nor any martial arts skills.
When people fight, they still carry shovels and hoes brought from home, and some even carry a wooden stick and go to the battlefield. Both the officers and soldiers and the bandits themselves regard them as cannon fodder.
Originally, Sun Kewang hoped that these hungry soldiers could slightly stop the progress of the cavalry, but now it seems that this is destined to be just a good wish.
Sun Kewang sighed, turned to Luo Rucai behind him and said: "Lao Luo, now I finally understand why you were defeated so miserably. These officers and soldiers are only well-trained, and not only are they all wearing fine steel
The armor and weapons in their hands are also extremely sophisticated, and the mounts on their crotches are all good horses from outside the pass. It would be strange if those hungry soldiers could stop them. It was a mistake, it was a mistake!"
Luo Rucai, who had just returned from a major defeat, gritted his teeth and said: "Old Sun, you can't be discouraged. These officers and soldiers can only hold a thousand people to death, but we have tens of thousands of brothers. Even if we pile them up, we can kill them. If we can pile them up, we will die."
If these people stay, our old camp can expand again."
What the invading army lacks the most now is sophisticated armor, weapons and horses. Although Li Zicheng commanded the rogue bandits to capture many towns, not many weapons and armor were captured. Moreover, as the most elite unit among the rogue bandits, the Laoying Camp had a strong grasp of weapons.
The requirements for armor and war horses are very high, and you can't just make do with some rags.
In order to increase Sun Kewang's confidence, Luo Rucai encouraged him again: "Old Sun, have you seen that the long knives and muskets in the hands of those officers and soldiers are first-class goods. I took a look and their muskets were almost
There are no misfires. If we can get our hands on them..."
Luo Rucai didn't say the rest, but Sun Kewang also understood Luo Rucai's thoughts. If these cavalry could be kept, the fighting power of the rogue bandits would also be greatly improved.
Sun Kewang took a deep breath. He hesitated for a moment as he looked at the faces of the officers and soldiers who were struggling to charge forward. It was obvious that he was struggling in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to a messenger behind him: "Immediately order the cavalry team.
My brothers immediately mounted their horses and caught up with those officers and soldiers, and they must be kept behind!"
"yes!"
Following Sun Kewang's order, a group of several hundred cavalrymen came diagonally from the front from Heitie's left front, pointing directly at the cavalry led by Heitie.
Kurogie led the cavalry and was about to break out of the siege of the rogues, but when he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him from the left front, he knew that the other party would never let him rush out so easily.
"kill!"
Heitie, who was at the front, raised his saber high and slashed at a cavalryman who was charging towards him. A heart-wrenching sound of "clang" sounded, and half of the spear in the cavalry's hand was immediately eliminated.
However, the remaining force of the saber was not eliminated, and then struck the opponent's shoulder. The person let out a scream and fell off his horse.
The two sides were like two roaring torrents colliding with each other. The roar of handguns was constantly heard, and the roars of both sides and the clash of weapons were heard. But the difference between the two sides soon became apparent. The troops led by Kurogane
The cavalry are well-equipped and have sharp weapons. Most of the arrows fired by the rogues are ejected from their bodies. They are also highly resistant to weapons. Coupled with the personal qualities of both parties and the integrity of the formation, the rogues are very
I soon suffered a big loss.
A bandit's sword just hit the chest of a Qingzhou cavalryman. With a "dang" sound, the sword bounced out from the dense iron armor. The cavalryman endured the pain from his chest and stabbed him with his backhand.
He knocked the bandit off his horse, then took out his gun, pointed it at the oncoming cavalry, and pulled the trigger...
Looking at the falling cavalry in front of him, Sun Kewang's face was very ugly. The Central Plains has never been a place to produce excellent war horses. Even the court spent huge sums of money to set up cavalry. It was even more difficult for bandits who made a living by plundering. From Li Zicheng
The rogue bandits in 1967 only formed an old battalion of several thousand people, so they knew how difficult it was to form a cavalry.
This cavalry team of less than 400 people was the most powerful unit under Sun Kewang. Now seeing that this cavalry team suffered such serious losses, Sun Kewang's heart felt like it was bleeding.
Unlike Sun Kewang, who was distressed, Luo Rucai was more concerned about whether the armored soldiers at the back could catch up. Only the armored soldiers at the back could surround the cavalry in time, and their efforts today would be rewarded.
But Sun Kewang and Luo Rucai's luck was obviously not very good today. Although the incoming cavalry caused a certain amount of losses to the Ming army cavalry and stopped their rapid speed for a moment, it still could not slow down their pace.
Live, they used their sharp weapons and fast speed to tear the things in front of them into pieces and then walked away, leaving only corpses and the land dyed red...
Just when Kurogie led the remaining cavalry to break out of the encirclement of the bandits and return eastward, an army came less than fifty miles away from them. This army was all wearing red armor. The leader of the sergeant raised his
A tall flag with a big Chinese character "Pang" written on it. Behind this sergeant were countless sergeants wearing chainmail, wearing iron helmets and red tassels, and bright red cloaks flying with the strong wind, plus the armor paint of each person.
Apply red paint, and a dazzling fiery red color seems to fill the world.
Cheng Kai rode a black war horse in the center of the team. This time Pang Gang ordered three thousand steps forward to clear the way for the entire army. He knew that this was Pang Pang's cultivation of him, although he had been cultivated by Pang Gang.
He was appointed as the guerrilla of the fifth battalion, but Cheng Kai also knew that military merit was the most important in the army. He was promoted from the captain of Pang Gang's personal soldiers to the guerrilla. I don't know how many people were dissatisfied. If he couldn't establish a few, he could take advantage of it.
With military exploits, it would be difficult to silence others. Pang Gang must have known this well, so he created this opportunity for himself.
Just when Cheng Kai was thinking wildly, there was a thunderous sound of horse hooves in front of him, and the smoke and dust from the official road in the distance seemed to be overwhelming. Along with the rising smoke, a large group of black cavalry rushed towards Cheng Kai.
"All troops stop!"
A loud shout sounded in the center of the team, and soon the team stopped. The faces of the sergeants were all full of vigor, and an indescribable force began to spread. All the soldiers stood quietly.
In the official corridor, although everyone was sweating hot and sweaty, no one moved or showed panic, because they knew that if there was an enemy attack, their Ye Bu Shuan would definitely receive the news in advance.
To warn.
Cheng Kai rode his horse to the front of the team. After a while, a cavalry came in front of Cheng Kai. A Qianhu man wearing stainless steel armor dismounted and came to Cheng Kai and said loudly: "The humble black iron has seen the guerrilla master!"
Cheng Kai sat on the horse and nodded, and immediately saw the blood stains on Heitie's body and the scratches on his armor, and asked: "Hei Qianhu, weren't you ordered to go out for investigation? How did you get into trouble with the bandits?"
Heitie lowered his head in shame, "I am reporting to you, Lord Guerrilla, for being humble and incompetent. I was ambushed by bandits in front of you and killed dozens of my brothers!"
"What, dozens of brothers were killed!" Cheng Kai was surprised, "How many thieves are there? How could you kill so many brothers?"
In recent years, with the rise of the Qingzhou Army's reputation and the pride gained from the bloody battle with the Tatars, the officers of the Qingzhou Army have become more and more concerned about their own casualties, although Cheng Kai knew that the losses to the bandits must have been several times or even ten times that of the Qingzhou Army.
Black Iron, but he still felt very distressed for the cavalry who lost dozens of cavalry in one fell swoop. Unlike infantry, the training and training of cavalry is not easy. So far, there are only more than 5,000 cavalry in Qingzhou. Therefore,
Both Pang Gang and other officers were very cautious about the use of cavalry.
Heitie's head drooped: "He is humble and incompetent. He only focused on chasing the bandits, but he was ambushed by them, and he lost dozens of brothers."
"You... eh, forget it, be careful next time!" Cheng Kai paused and did not blame Heitie too much. He knew that Hei Tie was still feeling uncomfortable at this moment.
Pang Gang recruited 20,000 new troops in Jinan to form four new battalions, which would inevitably add four more guerrilla generals. For this matter, the Qingzhou Army Commanders who were qualified to stabilize this position were all gearing up and began to compete secretly.
Kurogie is one of them. Now that Kurogie has suffered a loss, he definitely feels uncomfortable.
"Sir, since the thieves have sufficient troops to attack our army, then Luoyang must be heavily guarded by them. Should we postpone our advance and inform the Lord of the situation and wait for him to make a decision before making any plans?" Hei was attacked once.
Iron made a prudent suggestion.
"No!" Cheng Kai shook his head, with a cold look on his face: "Since the thieves dare to attack us, we should teach them what it means to use a mantis as a cart!"
