Chapter 410 It’s good to have a cavalry!

"It's good to have a cavalry!"

Zhang Zhun sighed silently in his heart. It would take as long as three days to walk from Qingzhou City to Jinan City. But after having a war horse, you can easily go outside Jinan City to play in a few hours. No wonder everyone values ​​cavalry so much. He is really the king of war!

I believe that all the sages in Jinan City must feel very happy at this time. Before they had time to attack Qingzhou City, they went to Jinan City to give a big gift. The series of gunfires just now expanded the guerrilla area of ​​the Hu Ben Army to Jinan Prefecture.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

In a vague way, Zhang Zhun could hear gunshots coming from all directions.

He could not tell where the gunshots were fired and what happened, but he believed that it must be a good thing. As long as the cavalry of the Hu Ben Army did as he told him, it must be a good thing.

The three cavalry battalions of the Hu Ben Army were 15 squads in total, with about 60 people in each team. Zhang Zhun asked each team to act alone. There was no other purpose in the action, just take advantage of it, not suffer losses. When encountering enemies that can be beaten, fight and never hold back. When encountering enemies that cannot be beaten, turn around and flee. If you can grab the enemy's war horse, it would be even better.

Although Zhu Dadian returned from Fengyang Prefecture, the troops in Shandong were still empty. Because Zhu Dadian concentrated these troops in Jinan City and prepared to attack Qingzhou City. The troops that were supposed to be stationed at various key points outside the city did not return to defense at this time. The cavalry of the Hu Ben Army had caught up with this loophole. If all the officers and soldiers were in their original defensive positions, Zhang Zhun naturally could not easily come to the city of Jinan.

"Da da da da!"

A burst of rapid sound of horse hooves came, but it was Yang Weiguo and the others who came back.

Yang Weiguo shouted excitedly from afar: "Sir, we are back."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yang Weiguo simply reported the situation of his team. The team he led was the first to sound gunfire outside Jinan City. The dozen or so guards became their living targets. Faced with the sudden Hu Ben cavalry, the Qingzhou guards' guards had no reaction at all and were all defeated. Unfortunately, they did not grab the war horses. Because the direction of the official cavalry camp was not within their control. Yang Weiguo was quite unwilling to accept this.

"It's okay, there's still a chance in the future."

Zhang Zhun said comfortingly.

Yang Weiguo then led his team to attack again.

They made up their minds that they would get back a few war horses no matter what.

"Da da da da!"

Another sound of horse hooves came.

Zhang Zhun raised the Qianli Mile Mile and looked at it, but Chen Xingguo's team was back.

"Sir, we have snatched eight war horses!" Chen Xingguo reported with a smile.

"Okay! It deserves praise!" Zhang Zhun said loudly.

Chen Xingguo waved his hand and the soldiers behind him pulled up eight war horses.

Zhang Zhun looked around these war horses for a while and found that they were all good horses, so he praised Chen Xingguo again. Jinan City is really good, and there are quite a lot of war horses. The key is that it doesn’t take much effort to get it. At least, it is much easier than grabbing war horses from the hands of the Tartars.

In fact, the Ming army has never lacked horses, and the same is true for the Ming army in Shandong. The number of war horses imported from the Mongolian grasslands in the Ming Dynasty was more than 100,000 every year. Even if the Mongolian Eight Banners defected to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the tea-horse trade in Zhangjiakou is still very prosperous in the Zhangjiakou area. According to the data provided by the Imperial Horse Supervision, the number of war horses traded in Zhangjiakou every year is more than 70,000. In addition to Zhangjiakou, there are also a large number of war horse transactions in Ningxia area.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the Ming army on the Nine Borders, the Ming army in the Central Plains, or even the Chaos in Shaanxi, there is no shortage of war horses. Among them, the war horses of the Chaos army are almost all from the official army. Anyway, some of the official army are war horses, and even if they are stolen, they will be replenished soon. Zhang Zhun's hand cannot reach the Tatars for the time being, so he can only ask the Ming army for war horses. How many horses are seized at a time, or dozens of horses, gradually accumulating a lot, which is also a very considerable number.

Chen Xingguo briefly reported on the battle process of his team. When they were ambushing outside the city, they happened to meet the officers and cavalry who came out of the city to reconnaise, with a total of ten people. So they rushed forward, surrounded the opponent with a team of troops, and then launched an attack. In the end, all ten officers and cavalry were eliminated by them. Unfortunately, two war horses were killed and could not be used, and only eight war horses were seized.

"Da da da da da!"

Another sound of horse hooves came, but Feng Wei's team was back.

Like Chen Xingguo, Feng Wei was transferred from the infantry army. Most of the soldiers of the Hu Ben cavalry were elite soldiers selected from the infantry. Zhang Zhun was relieved about their combat qualities and disciplines. Therefore, he made this plan to herd sheep.

"Sir, we have snatched fifteen war horses!" Feng Wei shouted excitedly.

"Okay! Well done!" Zhang Zhun patted Feng Wei's shoulder hard.

Feng Wei and his team went through two battles and faced ten official cavalrymen. Judging from the situation at that time, the main purpose of the official cavalry was to understand the situation outside the city, but they did not expect to fall into the trap of the Hu Ben cavalry. Unfortunately, both battles caused the death of war horses. A total of twenty war horses were seized, and only fifteen were seized.

Two teams grabbed twenty-three war horses, which looked good. If you could grab dozens of them next, it would be even better. According to the information, Zhu Dadian had a cavalry camp, with a total of about 1,500 war horses. Zhang Zhun really wanted to grab all the war horses. Anyway, it was not difficult for Zhu Dadian to add war horses. If you don’t brush such a cheap copy, I’m sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth!

When Feng Wei summarized his combat experience, he said regretfully: "The Ming army was not moving forward quickly, but they were escaping very quickly. When they found something was wrong, they turned around and ran away immediately. We chased behind, and could only kill some, but they could not kill all of them. The soldiers still had a lot of room for improvement in their marksmanship. If they were shooting from the side, they would hardly hit them."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said confidently: "Don't worry, they still have a lot of opportunities to come out. They must go to the direction of Qingzhou City. The three hundred miles from Jinan City to Qingzhou City is enough for you to do it."

Feng Wei and Chen Xingguo's eyes suddenly shone, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

Hehe, it’s a journey of three hundred miles! It takes several days to walk! The Hu Ben Army cavalry was like a hungry wolf, following the Ming army’s brigade and seeing how many more horses the Ming army could be left. Maybe in the end, not only were there no war horses left, but even there were not many people left.

"Da da da da!"

Another sound of horse hooves came.

But the other teams are back.

They more or less all grabbed a few war horses. Zhu Han sent some of the 400 cavalrymen who were sent out of the city were knocked out by them and had to retract them into the city. Originally, Zhang Zhun's arrangement was to eat all the enemy cavalry who left the city to investigate. Unfortunately, the Ming cavalry felt that it was not good and turned around and ran away, and did not fall into Zhang Zhun's arrangement at all.

Then, Dugu Lie, Yuwen Hantao, Bingfeng, He Jianing, Zhang Yuanzhi, Jin Zhenyue, Shi Liwei and other snipers also came back one after another. They all acted alone, specifically to find trouble for the single official cavalry. Because of their good shooting skills, if sporadic official cavalry encounter them, they will basically shoot one by one. Therefore, their seizure is not bad.

The biggest harvest was He Jianing, who was not usually visible and did not show any water. He brought back five war horses by himself. I don’t know how he found so many official cavalrymen. Other snipers also had at least three war horses. The ten snipers alone brought back forty war horses.

In the final statistics, a total of 153 war horses were seized. In other words, among the four hundred people who left the city by the official cavalry, more than half of them were eliminated by them. Everyone was sighing, why didn’t the official cavalry all leave the city? If they all leave the city, they would have more seizures.

“The results are very good!”

"Our next move is still the enemy's war horse!"

"After the enemy left the city, we continued to harass them! Weary them!"

"The most basic combat policy is to kill people and rob horses! The first is to grab horses, the second is to kill people! The second is to grab one! Kill one is to kill one!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

"clear!"

All the officers answered excitedly.

They are really loving about this kind of fighting method. The Hu Ben gun has a long range and can kill the enemy's cavalry at a long distance, but the enemy's cavalry cannot defeat the Hu Ben Army's cavalry because of the firearms. This is a completely one-sided battle. As long as it is operated well, there is no risk at all.

If the enemy cavalry chased, the Hu Ben Army turned around and ran until they had the opportunity to reload. During the escape, multiple traps could be set up, or new Hu Ben Army cavalry would appear constantly, deliberately dispersing large groups of official cavalry and defeating them one by one.

Think about it, when the Ming army's cavalry was chasing him, suddenly a group of Hu Ben army cavalry emerged next to him, and there were a row of guns, and a bang of guns, they all fell down. What kind of scene was it? They were originally hunters, but they turned into prey in a blink of an eye and didn't even have a chance to resist. So I was so frustrated.

However, more Huben cavalry like to hide their war horses and then hide in the grass to keep an eye on the lonely official cavalry. After all, shooting on horseback has very high requirements for marksmanship, which ordinary soldiers cannot do. However, after going to the ground, they are more sure. Huben cavalry are all elites drawn from the various infantry forces, and have always been relatively good in marksmanship.

"Sir, the officers and soldiers are out of the city!"

Suddenly, a fast horse arrived in a hurry and reported to Zhang Zhun.

"good!"

"Each force acts as directed!"

"Remember! We only take advantage of the situation and don't suffer losses!"

Zhang Zhun said quickly.

Immediately, all the cavalry officers dispersed.

Snipers such as Dugu Lie also went to their respective activities according to Zhang Zhun's arrangement.

Zhang Zhun rode a horse to the south of Yantou Town and raised the Qianli Mirror. Sure enough, in the sight of Qianli Mirror, there were dense Ming troops. Due to the large number, the team in front had been out of the city for a long time, and the team behind was still in the city. It seemed that there were at least tens of thousands of people, mainly infantry, and a few were cavalry. In the team, at least thirty Folang cannons were dragged. There was no doubt that this was Zhu Dadian going to march towards Qingzhou City.

"This Zhu Dadian still has some skills!"

Zhang Zhun said to himself.

From a strategic perspective, Zhu Dadian's actions were correct. He ignored the suspicious soldiers he had set up outside the city and directly led the army to Qingzhou City. As long as the officers and soldiers occupied Qingzhou City, Zhang Zhun naturally had no way to stay outside Jinan City. Because Laizhou Prefecture was under the direct threat of the officers and soldiers, Zhang Zhun had no way not to return to the rescue immediately. The question is, can he successfully recover Qingzhou City? Can Zhang Zhun sit back and watch him successfully recover Qingzhou City?

"Governor!"

"Discover Zhang Zhun's cavalry!"

The Ming army's scouts also quickly discovered Zhang Zhun's existence and immediately reported to Zhu Dadian.

"Dispel them!"

Zhu Dadian said coldly.

"kill!"

Zhu Han immediately ordered the cavalry to attack.

Thousands of officers and cavalrymen immediately rushed towards the surroundings.

A small team of official cavalry discovered Zhang Zhun's existence and immediately rushed towards Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun continued to hold the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile to look at the enemy's movements. The officials and cavalrymen suddenly became angry. Seeing us rushing over, you were motionless. Isn't this deliberately despising us? So, they couldn't help but squeeze the horse's belly and speed up the impact. When the other party entered the range, Zhang Zhun lifted a tiger gun and raised his hand and shot it.

"Bang!"

The dull gunfire sounded.

"Plop!"

A cavalryman in charge of the army fell down on the horse.

Because the impact was too fast and the inertia was very high, the landing officials and cavalry rolled on the ground continuously, and it took a long time to stop. Then, they were covered by dust from the horse's hooves from the companions behind.

"Hui Yuyu!"

His war horse also let out a silence and ran away from the slash.

The other officials and cavalrymen continued to rush towards Zhang Zhun, their speed did not decrease.

Zhang Zhun picked up another Hu Ben gun and raised his hand and shot him again.

"Bang!"

The gunshots are still so dull.

"Plop!"

Another official cavalry fell off the horse.

Under the action of huge inertia, the official cavalry also kept rolling on the ground, like a gourd that fell to the ground. The companions behind could not get around for a while, and the horse's hooves stomped over him, splashing blood, and enveloped him with a large amount of dust.

"Hui Yuyu!"
Chapter completed!
