The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 116 "The Southern Barbarians Who Can't Fight"

Afterwards, the hussars in charge of guarding continued to return to report, and a large number of Jianlu light cavalry were found nearby, with a number of [-] to [-], and they were gathering six or seven miles away.

Zhu Linmi reined in her horse, looked in the direction of the enemy army, and tapped her palm lightly with the whip.This time, what he will face is probably the authentic Manchurian cavalry, whose combat effectiveness is stronger than any enemy he has encountered before, and at the same time, the number is almost equal to his own.

The main force of one's own side is hussars and light cavalry without armor, and Jianlu's recurve bow will cause huge damage to them.

Although the hussars' spring-wheeled short guns are also a great threat to the Jianlu light cavalry, he is confident that he can defeat this team of Jianlu cavalry in a frontal attack, but it is still unknown how many Qing troops there are in Tingzhou. If it is too large, it will have an extremely adverse impact on the subsequent search for Longwu.

"It's not appropriate to be so reckless." He shook his head and said to himself.

Zhen Zhen happened to steer his horse towards him, "Your Highness, why don't we set up an ambush here while the Jian captives are gathering?"

After saying that, she immediately looked at the nearby terrain, and immediately shrank her neck in embarrassment—the surrounding area is very open, although there are some gentle hills and a very sparse piece of fir pine, but there is no way to hide people.

"Ambush?" Zhu Lin looked around, her eyes swept over the flintlocks on the backs of the soldiers, she suddenly made up her mind, gave Zhen Zhen a thumbs up, and then pointed to the hundred firs and pines against the rocks. Lin said, "Follow me."

Dould could not help but frown when he heard the sound of horns sounding everywhere.

Two days ago, when he learned that Li Chengdong, a jackal-like cunning guy, suddenly led his family soldiers southward at a rapid pace, he smelled the scent of prey.So he hastily asked for a military order from Master Tulai, and ordered six hundred cavalry from his own troops to follow Li Chengdong to Tingzhou, even a little faster than the latter.

All the Ming troops he saw along the way were in tight camps, even if there were thousands of troops, they would not fight him.Dould knew that Zheng Zhilong had surrendered, and this was all due to him ordering the Fujian Ming army not to move without authorization.

Therefore, he went all the way unimpeded and went straight to the big target that Li Chengdong coveted.

In order not to miss this "big target", he divided his cavalry into teams of six, and each team lined up at an interval of thirty feet.The teams coordinate with each other through horns or shouts, and keep moving at the same speed.

Although the speed of the team will slow down in this way, with such a "big net" filtering all the way, nothing of value will be missed.

However, just now, the western edge of the net was attacked.

This made Du De very angry. Zheng Zhilong, this useless thing, didn't he mean that he could restrain all Ming troops? !
The Ming army's attack made him have to order his men to gather together, otherwise the scattered six-member team would be easily eaten one by one.But it would take at least half an hour for him to form a "big net" once again.

Maybe it was because of this half an hour that Li Chengdong would snatch the unknown great credit.

Which blind guy is it? !Du De secretly felt ruthless in his heart, and he will definitely smash his corpse into thousands of pieces later!

Not long after, a scout came to report that a group of Ming troops were found three miles away, less than two hundred in number.

Du De is so angry that the Ming army with less than 200 people dares to provoke him!He turned his head and saw that the team had almost gathered, then he shouted and drove his horse towards the direction pointed by the scouts.

Still far away, he saw more than a hundred Ming soldiers in dark green clothes leaning against a very sparse fir and pine forest, digging trenches in a hurry, and in front of them were two improvised horses made of branches.

He sneered contemptuously. The tactics of these southern barbarians were extremely dull. When there were cavalry, they only knew how to gallop their horses.

There are only two hundred people in front of them, and they can't open up the battle at all. What's the use of digging trenches?His cavalry can easily circle around and attack his flank.And the few trees behind them, sparse enough for an elephant to walk through, they used as a barrier?What a joke!
Du De waved his hand to the side, and said disdainfully: "Zeng Li, Mu Teng'er, you each lead 150 people, wrap around from both sides, and kill these brainless Nanmans. Hurry up, Li Chengdong will not Will wait for us."

"Whoo!"

Soon, two teams of cavalry lined up in a random file, rushed out from Durd's team, bypassed two arcs, and attacked the two wings of the Ming army.

The Ming army obviously noticed the enemy's attack, and immediately retreated behind the half-dug trench, and began to fiddle with the firecrackers.A moment later, there was a chaotic sound of firing guns from the Ming army's position, and a large cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared.

Dude almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw this. He knew that the Ming army always liked to shoot guns randomly, but it was the first time he had seen such an exaggeration. Zeng Li and Mu Teng'er had just rushed a few steps away. , It is still two miles away from the Ming army. Do these Nanmans think they are holding cannons?

And those Ming soldiers seemed to be frightened, and kept crackling and firing their guns, but such a long distance was just a waste of ammunition.

When the distance between the two armies was less than [-] paces, an unknown gunman from the Ming army actually shot a cavalryman.But other than that, the intensive gunshots did not achieve any results, only creating smoke that covered the battlefield.

But the strange thing is that when the Qing army was a hundred steps away from the target and began to charge rapidly, the sound of gunfire in the smoke stopped abruptly.

Du De frowned again, wondering if these timid Nanmans ran away?He has encountered similar situations many times.When the Ming army was far away, the guns and cannons were amazing, but as soon as they started hand-to-hand combat, they would scatter like sheep encountering wolves.

The next moment, with the blaring of horns, a group of cavalry dressed in black and armed with seven-foot spears suddenly burst out from the thick gunpowder on the opposite side. left wing.
