The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 15 Dragon Cavalry

Looking at it from a distance, Zhu Linming felt very uneasy. After all, she only practiced for an hour, and she was still very unskilled in cooperating with others.In order to prevent accidents, he ordered the guards to remount their horses as soon as the enemy had rushed a dozen steps, and ran diagonally backward.

The rioters rushed halfway, only to find that the people on the opposite side had run a hundred paces away, still on their side.Then I saw those people getting off their horses unhurriedly, reloading, raising their guns, and firing.

After two rounds of shooting, another dozen or so members of the White Lotus Sect, who seemed to be swarming up aggressively, fell down.

Wang Gu's teeth itch with hatred!But even if his gun couldn't reach the opponent, he couldn't help it.

Finally, after nearly a quarter of an hour, Zhao Hei came to him and said, "Senior brother, the horses are assembled!"

Looking at the more than 40 disciples riding horses behind him, Wang Gu cursed Yu Wu as an idiot in his heart. If he hadn't allocated [-]% of the horses to intercept him, he would now have the same number of cavalry as the opponent!

But it doesn't matter, as long as he can entangle the opponent's cavalry for a moment, he can overwhelm the enemy with numbers.

Pointing in the direction of Zhu Linmi, he shouted to the disciple on horseback: "Go!"

Zhao Hei took the lead and shouted, "Sacred Order of Wusheng, kill the demons!" He raised his bow and rushed out.More than 30 people behind them also shouted and went straight to Zhu Linmi and others.

Seeing their own cavalry enter the battle, all the Xiangmin's morale immediately surged, and slogans such as "kill the evil spirits" and "rob the rich and help the poor" chaotically rushed forward.

Zhu Linmi didn't engage in battle with the cavalry of the opponent, she fired a round of guns and knocked down a few riders, then got on her horse and ran south.

Zhao Hei was overjoyed when he saw this—you must know that in the age of cold weapons, whoever faces the enemy with his ass in a cavalry confrontation is looking for death. The opponent can "hold *chrysanthemum" at will at your back, but it is basically impossible to turn around and attack someone while riding a horse of.

When Zhu Linmi and the others rode their horses past the mound where they hid at first, they suddenly slowed down their horses.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer, Zhao Hei immediately took out his bow and was about to nock an arrow when his men and horses ran past the mound, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of someone behind the mound from the corner of his eye.

Zhu Jiadi, who was hiding behind the mound, ran past a few horses in front of him and pulled the rope in his hand, only to hear three loud bangs, and three balls of fire burst out instantly on the ground behind Zhao Hei.

Although the explosion itself only overturned seven or eight horses, the loud sound shocked the horses, some of them frightened and stayed where they were, and some even turned around and ran back.The riders on the horse were also shocked, and the crotches of the people closest to the explosion were wet.

Zhu Linmi's side collectively reined in their horses, turned their heads, lined up in a row, unhurriedly hung the firecrackers on the saddle, took out sabers, spears and other weapons, and launched a wave at Zhao Hei and others who were stunned by the bombing. charge.But Zhu Linmei, a novice cavalryman, could only watch from a distance.

Zhao Hei saw the opponent approaching and wanted to command his men, but the horse under his crotch was seriously startled and ran towards Shi Lin, as if he wanted to seek comfort from his own kind.

There was no suspense in the result. On the one hand, they were fully prepared and the whole team charged.The other side is still in a daze, with no formation at all.

Zhao Hei was the first to be picked off by Shi Lin who was oncoming.Immediately afterwards, the guards rushed past the chaotic enemy formation, and Zhao Hei's subordinates basically followed him to see Wusheng's old mother.

Zhu Linmei followed and ordered everyone to change back to the firecrackers.

At this time, Wang Gu's army had just run a hundred steps, when they saw dozens of horses running towards them, and they knew at a glance that they were not their own.

It's still the old routine, get off the horse, fire the gun, and get on the horse to keep the distance.

Cold sweat began to ooze from Wang Gu's head. Although the enemy only had dozens of troops, there were almost no casualties so far!Adding the cavalry and those who were killed by the carriage on my own side, we lost hundreds of people in total.

As a veteran rebel, he has a keen sense of danger.

Sure enough, when Zhu Linmi got off the horse and fired the gun again, the Xiangmin people began to panic.

"These people must be demons and goblins, the Great Sage Wu Sheng please!"

"Master Wang, hurry up and ask God to come to you! I can't stand it anymore..."

"Fu Zhuan! Yes, swallow Fu Zhuan!"

One word awakened the dreamer, and immediately dozens of Xiangmin took out talismans and swallowed them, and the movements of their feet naturally slowed down.

The disciples in the teaching urged to move forward, but these people blocked the way of the brigade, and the team suddenly became chaotic.

When Xiangmin discovered that after swallowing the talisman, he would still be pierced by lead bullets, he began to cry, "Save me, my mother without life", and ran away in all directions.

Chaos has finally turned to collapse!
The disciples of the White Lotus Sect also had the intention of running away from the untouchable enemy, and Zhu Lin didn't need to tell them to fire another shot, just because these people trampled on each other, many of them died.

At dawn, the chaos was finally under control.

Shi Lin led people to surround the rioters to the river, where they formed a group near the blown-up carriage.

"Squat on the ground, put your hands behind your head!" Shi Lin shouted in a thunderous voice following Zhu Linmi's request.

A total of three hundred people squatted down immediately.At this time, in their subconscious mind, Zhu Linming and these people are "monsters" that they cannot attack, so no one has the slightest intention of resisting.

Zhu Jiadi took a dozen guards to take away the weapons of the rioters, and he didn't have so many ropes to tie them up.

Before the team collapsed, Wang Gu took a few henchmen and jumped into the river to escape.

He looked back at the disciples and Xiangmin who were pointed at by the firecrackers, and felt very regretful in his heart for provoking this "rich man", planning to go to Qingliu to inform his master when he swam to the other side.

Seeing that the river bank was only three or four feet away from him, he took a deep breath and was about to speed up the paddling when he saw dozens of elegant scholars standing on the other side of the river, looking at him with smiles.

But Wang Gu couldn't laugh, because these scholars were holding firecrackers in their hands.

Brother Zhu looked at the knives, sticks, bows and blunderbuss all over the floor, and couldn't help sighing, "Your Highness is really good at using soldiers!" He knew that there was still a place of unused gunpowder buried on the other side of the mound. to good to go.

In fact, Zhu Linmei didn't expect this simple dragoon tactic to be so effective.

The name of the dragoons is domineering, but it is actually a kind of mounted musketeer that first appeared in France.They maneuvered on horseback, dismounted and lined up guns. They were mainly used to move to the side of the enemy's phalanx, and then attack in groups with rifles to disrupt the enemy's formation.

But Zhu Linmi's weapon range advantage, and the opponent's military quality is too low, so they quickly defeated these White Lotus Sect rioters.

Chen Xiongfei, Xia Fuxian and the others escorted Wang Gu and his three men across the river. Seeing the hundreds of captives on the bank and the scattered corpses on the battlefield, they felt terrified. The results achieved by the sixty guards.

Zhu Linmi glanced at Wang Gu and asked, "Run to report?"

"Yes, ah, no, dare not..."

"How many people are there in Qingliu County?"

"This... the little one is just an errand runner, I don't know!"

The Xiangmin saw that Master Wang, who boasted all day that he was invulnerable to swords and guns, was so soft-boned, so they immediately reported it.

"He is Master Ye Xiang's disciple, Master Wang!"

"We came with him!"

"The little ones are all bewitched by this guy, so they become enemies with the adults..."
