Chapter 617

"Don't worry about so many things, you have to run to the beach even if you run to death!" Xu Liang shouted.

The remaining five hundred knights beat the war horses desperately. The spurs pierced the horse's belly and squeezed out the final physical strength of the war horses. Five hundred cavalry ran to the beach to death. Thousands of Mongolian light cavalry behind chased each other like maggots on the bones, biting the remaining Ming cavalry.

The Mongols hunted and shot arrows one after another. The Ming cavalry fleeing in front of them were occasionally caught, and the number of cavalry in the five hundred Ming army was getting smaller and smaller.

Xu Liang and more than a dozen Cao Bianjiao's servants who were good at shooting, turned their heads and shot arrows from time to time. The chasing Mongolian cavalrymen were caught in arrows from time to time and fell from the horse's back with a scream. However, there were too many Mongolians. Xu Liang had shot more than twenty arrows in a row and killed more than twenty Mongolian cavalrymen. His arms were already sore and he could no longer pull the bowstring. Two of the more than a dozen Cao Bianjiao's servants who were good at shooting, had been caught in arrows, and the rest of them were also sore and could no longer pull the bowstring.

"Where am I?" Cao Bianjiao woke up from the bumps of the war horse and found himself tied to the horse's back. He shouted anxiously: "Let go and I'm going to rescue the supervisor!"

"General Cao, the supervisor has been trapped in the siege of Jiannu! When we go back now, we can only die in vain! Bei Zhi has been ordered by the lord, and we must save General Cao. We will keep this life and have a chance to take revenge in the future!" Xu Liang said loudly.

"Let me go! I want to kill the Tartars!" Cao Bianjiao shouted, and after a while, he fell into a coma in pain again.

The injuries Cao Bianjiao had not yet fully recovered. After fighting for the middle of the night, his wounds cracked again. In addition, he was knocked out by Xu Liang with a knife, and he bumped on the horse's back for a long time. The old injury recurred, the wounds cracked and the blood flowed continuously.

Xu Liang didn't bother to bandage Cao Bianjiao and ordered the evacuation at full speed.

After all, the Mongolian cavalry was superb. Before the Ming army approached the seaside, the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers caught up. Seeing that the five hundred Ming army was about to be swallowed by more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry, suddenly a row of gunfire sounded in the woods ahead.

The light Folang machine, tiger squat cannon and turtledog-footed guns fired in a volley, and the shotguns were thrown at the Eight Banners cavalry who were chasing the Ming army like rain, killing the Mongolians one after another.

"There are Ming dogs in the woods! Rush up! Kill them all together!" The Mongolian Eight Banners Melezhangjingludahuqi, who led the team, heard that the sound of guns and cannons was not very dense, and judged that there were not many Ming troops ambushing them, so he pointed his scimitar in his hand towards the woods and led 5,000 Mongolian light cavalry to rush forward.

The combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners was not very strong, but as long as they were entangled by them and dragged to the back of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry riding arrived, the Ming army could not escape.

The one who was ambushed in the woods was Wang Quan's confidant Zhang Shiwen. He was ordered to lead 5,000 infantry to Liaodong by boat, and was specifically responsible for the retreat of the Ming army that had retreated in the Songjin Battle. The people who came were Li Guodong's navy, with more than 300 ships of all sizes and sizes.

The Mongolians rushed to the woods and heard a row of bird guns roaring. A dense rain of bullets shot out from the woods. The Mongolian cavalry fell down with their horses and screamed. The Mongolians in front fell down with their horses, and the one behind rushed into the woods, but they were greeted by rows of long spears.

The Korqin Meng Eight Banners soldiers took down their bows and arrows and shot arrows at the spear formation, but their light arrows were almost negligible to the lethality of these iron-armed spearmen. The bird gunners and turtledove-legged spearmen behind the spearmen continued to output firepower, mixed with the roar of the Folang machine cannon from time to time. The Mongolian light cavalry who were shooting with bows and firearms on the outside obviously suffered a great loss.

"Hurry up, get closer to the woods! Our infantry is here to pick us up! Protect the infantry and retreat to the beach together!" Xu Liang shouted to the remaining more than 300 cavalrymen.

The Ming cavalry quickly moved closer to the woods, and Zhang Shiwen shouted at Xu Liang who was rushing to meet, "Hurry up, let's retreat to the beach together!"

Zhang Shiwen's five thousand infantry arranged in dense formations, walked out of the woods, and slowly retreated to the beach step by step. Xu Liang, with more than 300 cavalry, followed closely behind the infantry formation and retreated to the beach.

"Storm up! Entangle them! Don't let a Ming dog run away!" Lu Dahuqi found that the Ming army's infantry did not even have a chariot formation, thinking it was a good opportunity to make contributions, so he drew his sword, pointed at the Ming army's formation, and ordered the cavalry to rush forward.

The Korqin Meng Eight Banners soldiers rushed up again. With Xu Liang's order, the three hundred Ming cavalry spread out to protect the two wings of the infantry. Five thousand infantry turned around one after another, and the spearmen stood in three rows, and the spears more than one meter long pointed forward. Behind were seven rows of bird gunners, and behind were turtledove-footed gunners, tiger squat gunners and light Folang machine gunners.

"Stop your anger! Don't open fire without authorization! Those who open fire without authorization will kill! Those who escape after the battle will kill!" Zhang Shiwen shouted loudly.

These Huai Army soldiers knew that if they died on the battlefield, they could get a considerable pension; if they escaped at the last minute, they would be killed on the spot according to the military discipline of the Huai Army, and if they were killed as deserters, they would not only not get a penny of pension, but their families would also be implicated, the land they distributed to them would be confiscated, and their families would be driven out of the military fort and become refugees again.

Five thousand infantrymen, including one thousand spearmen, three thousand five hundred bird gunners, three hundred turtle dove-legged gunners, one hundred tiger squat gunners and one hundred light Folang gunners, equipped with fifty tiger squat gunners and fifty light Folang gunners weighing 100 pounds.

More than 5,000 Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry had just been knocked down by more than 500 people outside the woods, and now there are more than 4,500 people.

Although they were light cavalry, 4,500 light cavalry charge, more than 20,000 horse hooves stepped on the ground, making a roar like a drum, and its momentum was still very shocking.

The three rows of spearmen in front were 300 people in a row, and the contact surface was not large. The number of spearmen was a little smaller, and the width of the spear formation was too thin. However, facing the Mongolian cavalry rushing over, none of these spearmen retreated. They were nailed firmly to the position like iron nails, pointing the spears at the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers rushing over.

"Tiger squats and cannons, let them go!" Zhang Shiwen shouted.

The tiger squat cannon is mounted on a two-wheeled car. A tiger squat cannon is equipped with two gunners. The two-wheeled carriage is equipped with tiger squat cannons. When marching, the gunpowder box and shell box are placed on the rack. During combat, the gunpowder box and shell box are taken down and placed on the ground. The tiger squat cannon can also be fired on the ground or mounted on the vehicle. Because there are infantry in front, the gunners place the cannon on the vehicle to fire so that the shells will not be blocked by the infantry in front.

Only a deafening sound of cannons was heard, and fifty tiger squatting cannons sprayed out slender tongues of flames in turn. Solid shells fell into the Mongolian cavalry formation. The Mongolian cavalry, who were hit by the shells, were smashed into pieces, including people and horses.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army's turtle dove-foot gun opened fire. The range of this heavy convex gun was much further than that of the bird gun, and it had a high accuracy of a hundred steps away. Three hundred turtle dove-foot guns were shot in turn, and Mongolian cavalry were hit by projectiles one after another, and blood arrows spurted out from the horse's back.

The 100-jin Fran machine cannon also opened fire. The 100-jin light Fran machine with a very fast firing rate continued to fire. After firing a sub-gun, the gunners hooked out the shot sub-gun, installed a new sub-gun, and fired again.

The sound of the cannons of the Folang machine had not stopped yet, and the Mongolians had already rushed within thirty steps!

"Let me go!" The officers of the general flags standing next to the bird gun roared.

The first row of 500 bird gunners pulled the trigger, and a row of fire gushed out, and the bullets pierced into the Mongolian formation like rain. Then the first row of bird gunners retreated and loaded the bullets, the second row of bird gunners stepped forward, picked up the bird gun, and pulled the trigger; then the third row of bird gunners stepped forward, and after the shooting, the fourth batch of bird gunners changed.

Seven rows of bird guns fired in turn, and the sound of the gun could not stop for a moment. The continuous firepower made the men of the Eight Banners turn over.

The Mongolians rushed to the front. After a row of arrows shot out by the cavalry of the Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners Light Cavalry rushed into the Ming army formation. The Mongolian soldiers rushing in front were skewed into meat skewers by long spears. The cavalry behind continued to crash into, knocking dozens of spearmen flying away.

The gunners and turtledove-legged gunmen at the back had already replaced the shotgun. A row of shotguns blasted over, and a large area of ​​Mongolian cavalry that were blocked by the spearmen fell down.

"Kill!" Xu Liang rushed out with three hundred cavalry and dispersed the light cavalry of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

"The Tartars were defeated! Let's continue to retreat to the beach!" Zhang Shiwen shouted and gave an order.

"True slave! True slave is here!" someone suddenly screamed.
