After shooting a Ming soldier before, Mao Chengfu's expected chaos did not appear. Instead, he saw a person who looked like an officer coming out and scolding the soldiers loudly. Mao Chengfu decided to capture the thief and capture the king first, and then kill the enemy general. Cop>The effect is quite good. With a round of volleys, he directly killed the enemy general, and also hit two other enemy soldiers. The enemy camp fell into chaos. Since it was chaos, it would be better. They didn't have to worry that the enemy would rush over and could shoot calmly under the horse.

Because they were on the garrison task, the night was a little chilly, and there were many bonfires in the Ming army camp for heating. However, no one expected to extinguish these bonfires in the chaos. The bonfires illuminated their figures, allowing Mao Chengfu and the lances to clearly see the target and strike accurately.

Under the continuous attack, Ming soldiers continued to fall to the ground, causing greater chaos. Some people picked up muskets and opened fire outside, while others hid in the camp or lay on the ground, trying to avoid projectiles that came from unknown places. Some people chose to escape, without unified command. These Ming troops were like a group of sheep who saw wolves, in chaos.

The same situation also happened in the Ming army camp next to two other pontoon bridges. The lances used the cover of night to keep shooting the enemies, but they had no idea how many enemies there were around and did not dare to pursue them rashly, so they could only shoot towards a place where a ray of light flashed.

The range and accuracy of the bird guns were not enough, and they didn't know where the enemy was, so they could hardly hit anyone, but were exposed by the bonfire. In this way, one side was in the open and the other side was in the dark, and the casualties of the Ming army were getting bigger and bigger, while the lancers had no casualties.

With the arrival of the cavalry sent by Su Rui, the chaos in the three camps was finally effectively controlled, but at this time, the Ming army in the three camps had more than 40 casualties and had no morale.

After a brief inquiry about the situation, the cavalry officer led his army to rush towards the direction where the enemy was hiding. In his opinion, these enemies were really desperate, and mere musket soldiers dared to attack at night.

He was not worried about being ambushed, because he learned from Su Rui that this enemy was mostly from Qishan City, and they still had Qishan City to guard. It would be good if he could send three or five hundred soldiers. He came out with three hundred cavalry, and the cavalry fired muskets, and then his father beat his son.

Cavalry often have troops in the army that are second only to personal soldiers. They pay more money and have better food than ordinary soldiers. They rarely have night blindness, which is one of the reasons why they dare to pursue them on their own initiative.

However, after pursuing for a while, he found that there was not a single enemy here. It seemed that he was frightened to escape when he saw his army arrive. However, he still chose to pursue him, and finally took Wu Anbang's advice as a warning.

In his opinion, he finally came out, and he could not return empty-handed. The enemy was just some musketeers. Even if he ran away, he probably didn't run far away. He chased and chopped up some heads and took them back to boost morale. It would be easier to gain favor from his superiors. If he could cut down one or two hundred heads, the position of a thousand is just around the corner.

However, when he chased for a while, there was still no trace of the enemy. When he felt something was wrong, there were suddenly dense gunfires, and it was heard from different directions. This man always knew that he was ambushing him.

Although the losses caused to him by this sudden round of attacks were not large, with no more than thirty people at most, the enemy situation is now unknown and is in a passive position.

How many enemies are there? Which direction is the weakness? Will there be a digging trap ahead?

These situations are unknown. If it is okay during the day, the enemy will have nowhere to hide, but this is a night without much moonlight. The torches in their hands can illuminate a limited range. If they move forward quickly, they may not have time to slow down when they see the trap. If they pass slowly, they will not know how many people will be killed on the road.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" In the flash of lightning, he decided to retreat. It would be fine to suffer a small loss. If the army was wiped out and even if he was killed, it would not be a good deal.

Looking at the Ming cavalry leaving, Mao Chengfu looked helpless. This ambush was not very successful in his opinion.

As the Ming army expected, he did dig a bunch of trapped horse pits in front, and was not afraid of the enemy rushing over. As a result, the enemy was so timid and afraid of death, and ran away after a round of blows. Fortunately, while the enemy was running away, he shot for another time and killed some of the enemy.

Since the enemy cavalry ran away, Mao Chengfu naturally led the lances to approach the Ming army camp again and shot inside.

Hearing the continued sound of gunfire, the cavalry who had just been asked back could not sit still. He knew that the enemy was prepared. In just one visit, he lost almost sixty people, and the enemy was far stronger than he thought.

And just now he chased him out about two miles. When he entered the barracks, the enemy followed him. It must be with the help of cavalry, and it would be useless to continue chasing them. If he stayed in the camp, he could only be passively beaten and lost his troops in vain. Before he could do so, he decisively led the cavalry to retreat to the west bank of the Dagu River.

The more than 200 Ming army infantry who were better than that, when they saw the cavalry running away, the enemy came up to shoot again, and they dared not stay there. They followed the cavalry's footsteps and ran along the floating bridge to the west bank of the Dagu River.

"What happened?"

Looking at the cavalry officer kneeling on the ground, Wu Anbang asked with a frown. His face was so dark that it was like this dark night, which made people feel panicked.

"Mr. Wu, my subordinates cross the river and pursue the attacking enemy troops as they follow your instructions. They fled when they saw their subordinates. The subordinates ordered their pursuit. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed. There were at least thousands of ambushers from the enemy. The subordinates led their troops to fight bravely, beheaded more than 200 levels, and killed two enemy generals. Later, enemy reinforcements arrived, and their subordinates had to lead the army to retreat!" The cavalry chief said with a determined look on his face. Those who don't know the inside would probably believe his words.

Listening to this guy's obvious nonsense, Wu Anbang still knew the general situation, but he did not punish him. He himself was a general, and he knew very clearly about lying about military achievements. This guy's record was watery, and he probably still had some kills about a hundred people.

As for the enemy dispatching more than a thousand people and reinforcements, it is obviously nonsense. Yesterday, Liu Yuanhang forced himself from Qishan City twice, and now it is good that there are still a thousand people left. There are probably only six or seven hundred people who can be sent to harass him. As for the reinforcements later, it is mostly a disguised effect.
