Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 397 Ambush (Part [-])
The good news is that the horses of the hammer bandits are tired, and they are all resting three or four miles away.

The bad news is that everyone is blocked by a river, and if they want to go there, they can only choose to climb mountains or wade.

This group of hammer gangsters knew the terrain of this place, and they didn't want them to be in a desperate situation to fight back desperately.

Commander-in-Chief Su He frowned. Those Ming soldiers did not take them in at night. Didn't they mean that the source of this river could be crossed on horseback?

Before going to the battle, Taiji had already inquired about the surrounding situation in detail with this group at night, just in case.

Now it was just in case, and the commander Su He found out that he had been fooled.

Now the more than 700 cavalry around him are all blocked in a dead end. Those hammer bandit cavalry obviously know the terrain, so they rest three or four miles away.

As long as you wade through the water on a large scale, you will inevitably be hit by the tail.

"Century Commander, let's go back quickly and charge out." Centurion Mandu Ratu watched as many cavalrymen took their horses to the river to drink water.

A dozen Mongols took off their clothes, led their horses down the river to swim, and wanted to swim to the other side to check if there was an ambush.

Horses can swim, but they can't last long.

Mongolians cherish their horses very much, even a little more than themselves.

"Don't worry, go and see if they can go ashore first, and see if there is an ambush on the other side. We are not familiar with the terrain, so we have to be careful. Those Ming soldiers dare to deceive us."

Commander Su He frowned, not because he didn't want to turn around and fight back, but because his soldiers had already fought a battle and were exhausted.

That group of hammer gangsters was waiting for work at ease, and they suddenly rushed out, especially those with a high armor rate. He looked back, and there was no one without armor.

This is a huge disadvantage for our own side.

If you slash someone, nothing will happen, but if they slash you, you will either die or be disabled.

That's a fart!

Besides, the arrows of the soldiers under their command have been used, and there are not many arrows left, and the arrows of the soldiers who shoot diligently are all empty.

"Yes."

Commander Su He rode on his horse and walked towards the river. He saw his soldiers swimming in the water, and planned to wade over to investigate together.

Commander Su He fell into deep thought.

Since the gang of hammer bandits felt that they were trapped to death here, let's ignore them for a while, then cross the river and head straight for Taiyuan.

The governor of Shanxi said that the hammer bandits had only ten thousand soldiers, not many elite soldiers.

Roughly counting today, there are more than 5000 people, so how many people are still guarding the city of Taiyuan?

Perhaps after a big detour, there will be a chance to touch Taiyuan City and see a palace that is even more splendid than Qingcheng.

If they found out that they also wanted to cross the river, it happened to give them a very good half-cross blow.

The Mongols are also very good at charging. If they fail at one time, if they charge several times, even if there are tens of thousands of people, they will not be able to withstand it.

The commander Su He was thinking this way when he heard birds chirping on the mountain. When he looked up, he saw a large number of birds hovering in the sky.

Before he could blink, there was a burst of cannon fire.

He only felt that his eyes were about to go into the sand, and before he could dodge, several bullets were shot at him, and the man and the horse were directly thrown to the ground.

The war horse wailed in pain, trying to struggle, but another burst of bullets came.

The sound of puffing into the flesh.

The dead horse weighed heavily on Su He's body.

Commander Su He felt sore all over his body, especially his left eye, and couldn't see clearly at all.

He tried to speak, but blood came out of his mouth.

It's a conspiracy!
Those hammer bandits deliberately rested three or four miles away, not to give themselves time to cross the river, but to let their own side relax their vigilance.

Su He's only remaining right eye was astigmatized, and he could no longer hear the noise in his ears.

Who made him stand under the banner!

Even a few centurions who were discussing the military situation were under heavy attack.

The firecracker Wang Kexing shouted, "I hit that Mongolian official, haha."

"Fart, I got hit too."

Sitting on the branch of a tree, Zhou Da looked down with a telescope, and the high-ranking Mongolian official whom he took care of immediately lay down on the ground.

Why is it convenient to confirm the identities of these people after death? He deliberately explained to let his firearms fire instead of greeting with artillery.

"Haha, give me a shot, the shot is accurate, the captain will reward you a lot, and I will repay you for your credit."

Zhou Da threw away the twigs he had woven on his head and laughed.

He has finally trained a group of talents who can shoot accurately with guns and cannons.

Secondly, the armored cavalry who were drinking horses by the river were bombarded by artillery and fell into the river.

The Frangler artillery fired dense and fast bullets, hitting the water surface with the sound of stones falling.

Brush brush.

The water on the banks of the river was soon stained red.

The Mongolian cavalry and horses fell into the water. The horses were heavy, but the human corpses rose and fell with the waves.

Before the machine gun came out and the nomads became able to sing and dance, the cavalry would always be the master on the battlefield.

In the confusion, the centurion Mandu Latu hurriedly rode his horse to the side of the mountain to avoid the cannon shot from the condescending height.

They have experienced this kind of artillery in Liaodong, Ji Town, and Datong Town.

But they were all on the edge of the Great Wall. They didn't expect to enter Shanxi Town. They didn't survive the Great Wall, but they were bombarded at the foot of the mountain.

It really caught these Mongolians by surprise.

Mandu Ratu looked at the fallen Mongolian warriors, especially the death of the commander. He immediately cut himself in the face, and the blood and pain woke him up.

The sound of artillery continued, and so did the firecrackers.

The Mongols were running indiscriminately, and some people chose to fight back on the spot.

But soon fell to the ground.

In the first round, these key targets were precisely covered. These were all requested by the captain, and Zhou Da deeply remembered them, including learning how to disguise.

He used to be a soldier in the guard, and he didn't have enough food or clothing to keep warm, but now everything he used was provided by He Jinzhao.

Therefore, He Jinzhao's words are deeply remembered. Now that he has seen the first results, he feels that what the captain said is right.

"Hit me, hit me hard."

Zhou Da began to crawl back, because he found that these Mongols dared to fight back.

This group of Mongols, at this point, not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back, and they must be killed.

If you don't kill them, how can you look like a big winner!
Wang Kexing, who hit the Mongolian official with one shot, was very excited. He has practiced marksmanship hard these days, and he has become more and more proficient.

He grinned loudly, now Jigong can be a squadron leader no matter what.

He Jinzhao stood up immediately when he heard the sound of the cannon, and then bursts of sound echoed in the valley.

He Jinzhao said loudly: "Everyone get on their horses and prepare to meet the enemy cavalry."

The orderly was beeping and blowing his whistle.

The Hammer bandit cavalry did not remove their armor, so they quickly got on their horses, lined up, and began to check their weapons, preparing to kill the generals.

Niu Youcai took the lead and held up the hammer bandit banner to block the front.

He Jinzhao was sitting on the horse, holding a pumpkin hammer in his hand.

He Zan and the others all lay down on the ground, listening for the sound of horseshoes.
