Chapter 299 The rebels have a problem
"Which rebel cavalry went in that direction?"
"Sir, they harassed for a while and ran towards the southwest! My subordinates guessed that they might be ambushing there and there was a trap!" The guard expressed his guess. Shanwu Novel Network
Liu Yuanhang patted his shoulder and said, "It's a good job. Please inform us. All the cavalry are ready for battle, leaving a hundred soldiers and horses, and the rest will follow me to fight! I'll go and meet them for a while to see how many skills they have!"
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
The reason why Liu Yuanhang was so confident was actually because he arranged some scouts in the west. Although the number of people fighting was not as many as those in Fushan City, the two sides had a total of nearly 4,000 people. The battlefield could not be limited to four or five miles between this camp and Qishan City forever. Anywhere around could become a battlefield, and it is always right to prepare for the future.
After the investigation two days ago, he had a clear radius of twenty or thirty miles around. There were only two or three places that could be ambushed, and he knew everything.
After half a stick of incense, Liu Yuanhang led more than 600 cavalrymen and rushed out of the camp in a mighty way and killed Mao Chengfu in the direction where he was. He vowed to eliminate this bold and arrogant rebel cavalry. As long as they were killed, the difficulty of siege would be much smaller.
Before, these rebels had city walls as support and artillery and guns, and their two sieges were not smooth. Now that they have left the city, let them see how powerful they are.
At this time, Mao Chengfu was stationed two miles away from the Ming army camp, observing the situation of the enemy, while Kong Youde had led another 200 people to head to the west.
Soon, the cavalry left behind to observe the enemy situation came back to report that Liu Yuanhang had led the vast majority of the cavalry out of the city and attacked here. Mao Chengfu also smiled slightly. It seemed that Liu Yuanhang was really unable to hold back and actually went out in person. It would be good that he would be there for a while.
"All the lancers are ready! The enemy is coming soon. Check your bullet bags, gunpowder bottles, and flintlock rifles, and prepare to face the enemy!"
There was still plenty of time, so Mao Chengfu personally checked it one by one to see how they were doing their preparations.
"Everyone lift the flintlock rifle, load the projectiles and gunpowder, and after the enemy enters the range, follow my orders to open fire!" When Liu Yuanhang led more than 600 Ming cavalry in sight, Mao Chengfu shouted loudly and ordered the lancers.
Although he had never commanded the musket soldiers, he had never eaten pork and hadn't seen the pig run away? Yesterday, Chu Zhongtian commanded the musket soldiers to fight for a day, and he watched it. It was not that difficult at all. He almost learned it.
Liu Yuanhang chased after him in the direction given by the gate guard at that time and found Mao Chengfu and his group, but the number of rebel cavalry was far more than those who appeared outside the camp before, with about 200 people.
Seeing the rebel cavalry standing still, neither choosing to charge nor escape, but picking up the musket, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart. He actually wanted to use the musket immediately when he stood. The rebels were really impatient.
As we all know, the range of bird guns is not long and the loading is very slow. They can shoot at most one round of shooting, and they will rush in front of them, and then it will be the moment of their massacre.
A round of bird gun shooting can indeed cause some damage to them, but it will lose something that is crucial to the cavalry.
The biggest advantage of cavalry is speed. Once the speed is not increased during the battle, it will become very passive. Doing so is to lose watermelons for sesame seeds. When they get closer, these rebel cavalry will be their own sword.
Although Liu Yuanhang was very angry with the rebels, he could still be the cavalry of the rebels just from the perspective of cavalry combat power. He did not deny this, but now he felt that the rebel general had a problem with his mind. It was so stupid that he gave up his speed for a round of fire guns that was destined to have no effect.
"Start up! Rush up and chop them over and kill a rebel and reward twenty taels of silver!" Inspired by the huge reward, all the cavalry glared at the horse's belly, increasing the speed of the war horse to a higher level.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry had approached eighty feet, Mao Chengfu ordered "Prepare!"
The cavalrymen holding flintlock rifles all chose their own targets and put their fingers on the trigger. Mao Chengfu and his personal soldiers were aiming at the enemy's generals. He wanted to use the beheading tactic again. If he could hit Liu Yuanhang, he would make a big profit, and there would be no loss if he didn't hit him.
"Fire!" When the enemy cavalry approached fifty feet, Mao Chengfu took the lead in pulling the trigger with an order.
"Bang bang bang" the roar of the flintlock rifle sounded.
This made Liu Yuanhang amused. When he saw a burst of white smoke rising from the opposite side, he knew that the rebels could not help but drive it in advance. What could they hit at a distance of fifty feet? When siege yesterday, the rebels' muskets were indeed farther than ordinary muskets, but the distance of fifty feet was not something that bird guns could hit.
Liu Yuanhang used to see that muskets could kill and injure the enemy from a distance, and there were also some musket soldiers under his command. However, because of his poor psychological quality, the enemy often fired in advance before entering the range, which had no effect at all. Later, he deposed the firearms troops, and it was still true that swords, guns, bows and arrows came. It was obvious that these rebel cavalry also had the same problem.
A moment later, he suddenly heard a scream from his ears, as if an arrow was passing by his ears, and he was also shocked.
Through the light of the light, he saw a personal soldier falling from the station horse. The war horse was so fast that the personal soldier rolled several times after falling from the horse. Under the trampling of other war horses, he swayed like grass in the wind, and blood stained the land red.
I glanced casually and found that not only this personal soldier, but also about twenty cavalrymen fell from the war horses, leaving only a bare saddle on the back of the war horses, and continued to follow the flow.
After only a moment of surprise, Liu Yuanhang's mouth raised a curve. They were now charging at full speed. At most, they could rush to the rebels and start killing. At this time, they didn't have time to load the projectiles.
"Kill!" The Ming cavalrymen were glad that they were not hit, and they became angry and rushed towards Mao Chengfu quickly.
"Everyone has it, retreat!" Mao Chengfu saw that the Ming army was about to force it up, so he hurriedly ordered.
Both the cavalry and the lancers turned their horses and ran towards the west after hearing the order.
