The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 313 Mutual Casualties
The Shanhaiguan cavalry saw that the civil servant, Mr. Huang, rushed forward. Everyone was desperate, waving the saber sticks and three-eyed guns in their hands.

The Jiannu who wanted to grab the results of the battle were killed and injured. They really didn't expect that this Ming army dared to confront them with empty weapons and cold weapons, hacking and killing each other, and suddenly lost their momentum and confidence.

At this time, the chariot had stopped, and the musketeer's aim immediately changed, and more than 100 people jumped out of the chariot one after another and fired volleys of guns while advancing.

All the arms of the Ming army, when there was no one to supervise the battle, each one was advancing, advancing, and even the fallen soldiers kept advancing, and they were all frontally wounded.

The medical soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and engineering soldiers were not afraid at this moment. They followed the Patriarch and tried their best to rescue every wounded soldier of the Ming army.

Even the scholar Cheng Dashi, who was already the magistrate of the county magistrate, yelled and brought more than 100 strong laborers from Funing up on stretchers to help transport the wounded.

Cheng Dashi's calf trembled a little, and his lips were still trembling when he spoke, but this was his instinctive reaction. In fact, he was just a little scared, and it wasn't as serious as it seemed, but he just couldn't control it somehow.

Cheng Dashi brought five hundred Funing laborers, when he shouted: "A kind of Funing hero, follow me to help save people!"

It's a pity that only one-third of the people were inspired, and more than 300 people chose to remain silent and refused to move.

Seeing the reinforcements from the Ming army rushing forward, Jiannu was as aggressive as a lunatic. Knowing that the attack was hopeless, he quickly retreated.

The medical soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and Zhuang Laoli rescued the injured soldiers of the Ming army, and the engineering soldiers dragged back the destroyed chariots. Huang Sheng personally organized the chariot array and refused to take a step back to cover the safe retreat of the logistics troops.

Seeing that the brave coachman was still holding a sword and shield and staring at him, Huang Sheng followed the heavy infantry in formation not far from his chariot, and asked Liu Guozheng to call him over.

Huang Sheng knew this man from Wanghaidun. He knew his name was Ge Chengjie, and he was one of the 26 Ahas rescued by attacking Wanghaidun for the first time.

He once used stones to commit violence with a group of liberated Ahhas, and smashed three bannermen who bullied them until they couldn't be seen as human figures.

Ge Chengjie came to Huang's house to participate in the selection of soldiers many times, but was eliminated due to fierce competition. He wanted to kill Jiannu to avenge the death of his relatives, and he was not at ease to work in the steel factory.

When Wu Qiang was training the first batch of carriage drivers, Ge Chengjie heard that if he learned the skills well, he could be the driver of an armored chariot, and he could also go to the battlefield with weapons.

He immediately participated in the selection and passed the test smoothly. Because of his good skills and good style, he became the driver of the armored combat vehicle. Unexpectedly, a good thing came this year. their combat effectiveness.

All the coachmen were ecstatic, everyone practiced shooting hard, Ge Chengjie was naturally more diligent, the sweat of training was not in vain, today's hand-to-hand combat, the double-barreled short gun not only saved his life, but also killed three Jiannu horses , step armor.

The chariot that was charging at full speed against the Jiannu cavalry hit a stone, causing the wheels to fly out, the chariot capsized, and four Jiannu cavalry rushed towards him. The armored sharpshooter hastily pierced into the left shoulder of the assailant Jiannu's vest.

The Jiannu was also seriously injured, and he crawled tightly on his horse and fled back. A Jiannu wielding a mace came straight to Ge Chengjie.

At this time, he instinctively pulled out his gun and shot with his hand. Fortunately, both shots were effective. Jiannuba Yala was shot in the waist and right arm with a shot, and fell off the horse and rolled on the ground without dying.

It was Ge Chengjie's first time to shoot an enemy face to face at close range, blood spattered on his face, and the huge vibration from the double-barreled pistol in his hand reminded him.

Ge Chengjie dodged the saber cut by a Jiannu with a diving leap, jumped to the side of his comrade-in-arms and pulled out the short blunderbuss attached to his waist, and slammed the back of Jiannu who was about to return to the horse and cut again. Fortunately, the trigger was successfully fired, and the lead bullet hit the back of Jiannu's heart.

Shooting close at hand, but less than ten steps away, Jian Nu didn't even groan and died on the spot. Ge Chengjie's confidence in consecutive successes doubled, and he quickly searched for his comrade's handgun to shoot the enemy again.

Ge Chengjie's brave and fearless will to fight was seen by many soldiers. The soldiers at the lookout post also recorded his military exploits. There is no doubt that he was rewarded.

Ge Chengjie came to the head of the family and stood at attention, and slapped the shield three times with the back of his single sword.This is how the Huang family's sword and shield hand salute.

"Reporting to your lord, Ye Jiangong, the musketeer, and Ge Chengjie, the coachman, are waiting for instructions."

This kid had three fully loaded double-barreled short guns pinned to his waist, his face was bloodstained, and he didn't know if he was injured.

"Ge Chengjie, I remember you, your performance today is even more unforgettable for me, I will promote you to enjoy the treatment of a small flag officer, and I will drive a chariot for me in the future!"

Finally became a soldier, and suddenly became a small flag officer. The strong man was very excited, and said loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will definitely drive the chariot for you."

Although Huang Sheng could give Ge Chengjie a higher official position, he did not do so, because the warriors of the Huang family can only serve as small banner officials. If they want to become the seventh-rank general banner officials, they must pass the cultural examination.

Today everyone has seen Ge Chengjie's bravery and tenacity, as well as his personal combat skills, and no one will refuse to promote him as a small banner officer. If he can pass the cultural examination smoothly, he can become a real officer of the Huang family.

Huang Sheng said: "You are covered in blood, go back to the rear and check carefully to see if you are injured?"

"Report my lord, I am not injured, it's alright, there are enemies and comrades in arms on my body, my lord, I will not go back, my co-pilot died in battle, I want to avenge my brother."

This man in his twenties blushed, thinking of his partner who had been in love with him.

The casualties of Huang's private soldiers were not small this time. Six musketeers, four horse archers, three coachmen and two heavy infantry died on the spot. 37 people were seriously injured and more than 150 people were slightly injured. Ma Shihu's cavalry lost even more Some, 32 people were killed in action, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and more than [-] people were lightly injured.

This is the difference in equipment. The Huang family horses are the absolute vanguard to fight against Jiannu with an equal number of Jiannu. Ma Shihu's hundreds of cavalry followed up with casualties far exceeding the hardest-fighting Huang family horses.

The Ming army had already assembled and surrounded a rectangle with chariots. The heavy infantry guarded the chariots, and the cavalry protected the two wings. The unwilling Jiannu tried to attack again.

Their attack was not resolute, and they were not at all adapted to the Ming army cavalry's style of shooting cold arrows in circles relying on chariots, and they were even more afraid of the firing of firecrackers in the carriage.

Jiannu found that staying here was not good, so he had to retreat another three miles to give way to the remaining veins of the Songling Mountains, and concentrated in a slightly flatter place to the west to continue to confront the Ming army.

Jierhalang discovered the casualties of the Ming army, and saw that his subordinates almost succeeded in capturing the Ming army's chariots and firearms. Unfortunately, it was too close to the Ming army's position. In the end, the main force of the Ming army rushed to support, leading to failure.

He regretted it to death. If he had known that the Ming army would desperately come to the field, he should have prepared thousands of reserves to join the battlefield at all times.
