Chapter 108: The Sound of Cannons at Sea
Chapter 108 The sound of cannons at sea
Ma Gui immediately summoned cavalry, with about a thousand people. In just a few miles, dozens of cavalrymen were broken into it. Even an officer from Datong Academy was broken. It should be noted that these three thousand cavalry fought several battles in Jiangnan, but not much was lost. Even if it was broken, they were ordinary soldiers. However, officers from Datong Academy were rarely lost.
At first, officers themselves rarely suffer losses. Although a large number of lower-level officers charge forward, in fact, if the army disposes their superiors, they will be severely punished.
Secondly, military officials from Datong Academy can be regarded as Zhou Mengchen's disciples.
Of course, they will be taken care of in the army, and in Ma Gui's opinion, it is not too tragic to fight a few battles in Jiangnan. After all, compared with the battle of close combat in Qingcheng, these two battles are nothing. Naturally, there will be no situation of losing officers.
However, Ma Gui has no time to regret it.
He sent several cavalrymen to quickly patrol the nearby situation. He also selected a place where Maohai Peak was most likely to appear, picked up a telescope and observed it carefully. Suddenly, he found an army in a grass, quickly going out.
Ma Gui said, "Get on the horse."
With a "wow", all the cavalry got on the horse. Magui also turned over the horse, drew his sword in his hand, raised it high, and then slashed downwards. More than a thousand cavalry slowly started and started to accelerate bit by bit.
The wind roars in Magui's ears, just like countless war drums cheering. This is why Magui likes to fight wars, and good men will see life and death immediately.
It can be said that since the battles went south, it is estimated that all the power of the Datong cavalry will be exerted today. Although there are only a thousand cavalry, as the most elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, it is no different from thousands of troops. Even with tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, these thousand cavalry dare to rush, let alone these pirates.
Mao Haifeng first felt the ground trembling slightly, and then he saw more than a thousand cavalry rushed over like an avalanche.
Maohai Peak has two roads at this moment. He immediately retreated and retreated into the grass. With the dense grass and trees, the cavalry could not rush up. Another road was to rush out, and there was not many miles to the beach. At the agreed time, the ship that was connected was at the port by the beach.
No matter how powerful the cavalry is, can they still rush to the sea?
Mao Haifeng made up his mind in a moment, just one word: "Run".
Mao Haifeng knew very well that after he gave up the pirates behind him, there was no suspense in the battle behind him. After all, not everyone has the belief to fight to the last moment. Not to mention these pirates, the only reason they insisted on fighting was that they killed too many people in the Ming Dynasty, and even if they surrendered, they would not be forgiven.
But no one knows how long the courage inspired by this fear can last.
Mao Haifeng knew that once he stayed here, the one who waited for him would inevitably be death. There was absolutely no other possibility.
Now, only by running to the sea can you have a glimmer of hope.
As for the Wang Zhi's direct troops in his hand, he couldn't care about it at this moment. Because he knew very well that when the Datong Jingqi appeared here, he had already decided the winner and the defeat was useless.
So he shouted loudly, "As long as you run to the sea, the cavalry will not catch up with us. Everyone, run away?"
Although Mao Haifeng and his personal soldiers escaped first, the rest of the people naturally followed suit when they saw this. In an instant, the war that originally had a cavalry breaking the formation turned into a war that caught ducks, which left Ma Gui speechless.
This situation makes Ma Gui a little trouble. After all, it will take some time to let two thousand pigs go and get caught.
Magui ordered the cavalry to disperse their formation, rush down with a hundred men, and drive them down, and drive them away. If they cannot be driven away, they would just kill them.
After dealing with these people for a while, Ma Gui looked closely and found that hundreds of people were running away. Without paying attention, he almost ran to the beach. His hand holding the telescope raised slightly, and a sail appeared in Ma Gui's eyes. He was stunned and then pointed at it at one ship, two ships, and three ships. He couldn't count how many ships there were, but one thing was certain, that is, there were not less than thirty or forty ships, or even more. This was to pick up thousands of pirates into the sea.
Then Ma Gui looked at the thief-running group of pirates. He immediately understood that there must be big fish here.
Why was Magui willing to let the big fish run away? Without saying a word, he took his own soldiers to chase him. How could he run over four legs with his legs? Just when Magui was about to catch up, he heard a roar, and something passed by Magui, smashed on the solid ground, then bounced high, rising and falling for two consecutive times, and then stopped moving on the ground.
Magui took a breath of air conditioning.
How could he not know what this is? It is a cannon, at least a thousand pounds of cannon. Ma Gui followed Zhou Mengchen and always used firearms to blast others, so why did people use this firearm to blast himself? This made Ma Gui burst into anger in his heart and wanted to kill people.
But no matter how much he wants to kill someone, he knows the power of the cannon.
This is the beginning. If you chase the beach, you will inevitably encounter more artillery fire. The cannons will not have eyes. If you are not careful, your life will be ruined here.
Ma Gui is not afraid of death. After all, he is a bowl of food on the battlefield and faces death every day. What is the difference between fear and not afraid? But he doesn't want to bet at this time, whether the other party fires accurately or not. After all, he knows very well that although there is no statistics in this battle, there should be three to four thousand beheadings. In terms of the results, it should be slightly less than the Zhapu Victory. But unlike Zhapu Victory, Ma Gui is the commander of this battle.
Zhou Mengchen was in charge of the Zhapu victory, mobilizing tens of thousands of troops. Although most of the tens of thousands of troops were for soy sauce, they could not be completely ignored when queuing up and delimiting fruits. This battle was fought by Ma Gui alone, and with his understanding of Zhou Mengchen, he would definitely be rewarded. Ma Gui even acted to walk up by himself.
As for where I go, I don't know.
At this time, it would be too unlucky to die here in a frustrated manner.
He also saw that dozens of large ships, each with a large number of people on the ship, with a few of them being one or two thousand. The idea was that sailors were not much different from soldiers. Those who could fight on the ship might not be able to fight on land. What if they went ashore? And Ma Gui's subordinates were all scattered and were catching prisoners. The little army in Ma Gui's hands was the last warning army. They should not be lost rashly.
So Magui ordered the evacuation for several miles and to a place where the cannon could not hit, so he could only let the big fish go.
This fleet is either someone else’s or Xie He’s.
Xie He never expected that when he contacted Mao Haifeng last time, he heard that everything was fine, but now it has become like this. However, the things on the shore had nothing to do with him, Xie He, and even Xie He was a little happy. After all, if I was defeated in Taizhou, is your adopted son whom you, Wang Zhi, valued? At least, I brought most of the people back. Look at Wang Zhi's adopted son, with only hundreds of people around him. It can be said that he threw thousands of people on the shore. There are thousands of people in each department, and even Wang Zhi is not very easy to explain.
Who will tell me about his thanks and Taizhou?
Xie He was filled with gloating, but when he led Mao Haifeng up, he was not revealed at all. He also said in a tone full of concern for his elders: "Nephew Mao, why did you make this look like this?"
Mao Haifeng could naturally guess Xie He was a little bit thinking. After all, the leader of Fujian pirates was not the same as the Hui merchant lineage, but Mao Haifeng was not interested in these things at this moment. He had to care more. To be honest, although he was defeated today, he did not feel that his ability was problematic.
No, most pirates are actually at this level. It’s okay to command hundreds of people to fight on land, but they really don’t have the ability to command thousands of people. Mao Haifeng is almost the same among them.
With such strong capabilities in the government army, where will Wang Zhi's group go? Once many people think that Wang Zhi's group has no way out, will so many pirates still rely on Wang Zhi's command? This is all a problem.
Mao Haifeng knew that today's defeat was so great that it would definitely not ruin thousands of soldiers.
This is the big problem he faces.
