My father is Jiajing

Chapter 151: Prince Yu's swift sword strikes

The sudden sneak attacks from both sides threw the Tatar camp of Shixiaying into complete chaos.

Although the number of Ming troops who launched the sneak attack was not large, the noise they made was astonishing.

No one expected that there would be a Ming army that would spare no effort in firepower and throw gunpowder bombs at their camp without paying.

You have to know that these things are very expensive.

Even the Nine-Border Great Wall, which had always been on the front line, could not fire as many artillery pieces as the bombs dropped by these two sneak attack teams in a short period of time.

At this moment, Andatsu couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Is this the defensive strength of the Ming Dynasty capital?

How come I haven’t heard of it before?

However, now is not the time for Anda to think or fear about this matter. Anda also knows very well that if he wants to calm the panicked morale of the army, he must catch up with the Ming army that is attacking by surprise and kill them all.

Only in this way can the negative impact and psychological shadow caused by these two Ming armies be eliminated.

So, at this time, Anda also gritted his teeth and said: "Zamsu, this Khan orders you to lead 5,000 light cavalry to kill all the Ming cavalry who attacked our army at all costs, and build a Jingguan outside the camp!"

After hearing Anda's order, Zhamusu immediately took it and led his 5,000 light cavalry to chase after the Ming cavalry that had already completed the sneak attack.

Zhamusu was filled with hatred. He had never suffered such a great loss since he could remember. So even if Andada did not give him the order, he would try his best to fight and slaughter all the Ming cavalry who were ignorant of their own danger and had no idea of ​​their own limitations.

Because Zhamu Su was still very confident on this point. There was a fundamental difference between their horses and those of the Ming army.

Their horses were taller and faster than those of the Ming army. Compared with their horses, the Ming army's horses were grassland war horses obtained through trade in Liaodong, Hebei and other places.

But these horses were actually the second-rate horses they had left over, and they were not as good as their horses in terms of size or speed.

Last night, the Ming troops were able to escape because they had made preparations in advance and had buried mines in the area where they were being pursued, which prevented their cavalry from pursuing them quickly.

But now it is daytime, and they can clearly see the situation ahead, both in terms of vision and path.

As long as we follow their escape route, I believe we won’t be able to catch up with them!

Therefore, Zhamu Su was very confident that this pursuit would definitely kill all the Ming cavalry who had ambushed them and avenge the previous humiliation!
While Teng Xiang and his men were running for their lives in the front, they were also listening and watching the Tatar pursuers behind them with trembling hearts.

Fortunately, they did not continue to fight in a rash manner, and retreated without hesitation according to the plan made by Zhu Zaigui. Otherwise, with the speed of the Tatar light cavalry chasing them from behind, they would soon be caught up.

Now there was a distance of about four or five miles between them and the Tatar cavalry chasing behind them, and both sides could clearly see each other's positions and teams.

Therefore, in a cavalry charge of chase, both sides' final endurance and speed are tested.

Zhamusu was so angry when he saw the fleeing Ming army in front of him, but at the same time, he was more certain that after some time, the 5,000 light cavalry he led would catch up with him and the exhausted Ming cavalry in front of him.

When the time comes, as soon as the sharp sword is swung, these hateful Ming cavalry will become his meal and meat in his mouth!

Therefore, Zhamusu did not have any hesitation or backup plan. He believed in the combat capability of his 5,000 light cavalry. As long as he could catch up with the Ming army in front of him, he could definitely kill them all without leaving a single one alive!

One mile.
As time passed, Zhamusu's 5,000 light cavalry were getting closer and closer to the two sneak attack teams led by Teng Xiang.

Facing such a tense moment, Teng Xiang's face was full of excitement. Looking at the woods in the distance, he knew that the opportunity was behind the woods. Teng Xiang shouted while riding his horse: "Brothers, don't be afraid, rush through the woods!"

The two sneak attack teams rushed towards the woods without hesitation.

The pursuing Zhamusu looked at the Ming cavalry, who were only a few hundred steps away from him, and suddenly rushed into the woods in panic. A cold smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"You're really courting death. You actually dared to rush into the woods. Don't you know that the woods will affect the speed of the horses?"

Zhamusu looked at the Ming cavalry rushing into the woods, and he also shouted, "Don't stop. The Ming army can't run fast in the woods. If we rush in, we can catch up with them and kill them!"

The moment they entered the woods, Teng Xiang and his companions' speed suddenly slowed down, and they could no longer move as fast as before in the wild.

The horses under their crotches were also trying hard to adapt to the obstacles in the woods to avoid crashing into the trees.

So in this short period of time, the Tatar cavalry chasing them were less than a hundred steps away from them.

This distance of one hundred steps can be said to be very close.

If it weren't for the obstruction of the woods, a distance of one hundred steps would only take a few moments for the light cavalry that was good at charging.

However, it does not waste their time to catch up with the Ming cavalry in front of them.

Just when Teng Xiang and his men were halfway through the woods, Zhamusu's five thousand light cavalry also rushed into the woods.

Zhu Zaigui, who was hiding behind the woods, could not help but tightly grasp the reins and the long sword suitable for cavalry chopping.

Zhu Zaigui looked coldly at the movement ahead, waiting for the right opportunity to arrive.

Seeing that all the 5,000 cavalrymen who were chasing him had run into the woods, Zhu Zaigui instantly drew out his long sword and shouted, "Charge!"

The 1,540 elite soldiers of the Guard Battalion, who had been gathering their strength for a long time, raised their swords at this moment. They were ready to engage in a hand-to-hand combat with the pursuing Tatar bandits where only the brave would prevail!

The 1,500 elite soldiers of the Four Guards Battalion were all filled with murderous intent, urging their horses to charge at the Tatar cavalry in the woods as fast as possible.

The terrifying sound of killing rang out everywhere, and for a moment, Zhamusu, who was chasing after them, was startled. He shouted loudly, "Retreat quickly! There's an ambush!"

But how could the five thousand light cavalrymen who were already trapped in the woods just turn around? They were immediately frightened by the sudden shouting and killing, and each of them was like a headless fly in a panic, not knowing where to escape.

Under the protection of a team of personal guards, Zhu Zaigui rushed up to the frightened Tatar cavalry on horseback, raised the long sword in his hand and chopped them hard. A Tatar cavalryman's head was chopped off at an angle by Zhu Zaigui, and even his shoulder was chopped off in half. The scene was quite bloody!
After this knife, Zhu Zaigui's spirit became tense. In his two lives as a human being, this was the first time he saw such a bloody scene, and he had done it himself. At this moment, Zhu Zaigui almost vomited.

It turns out that the feeling of killing is so uncomfortable.

But at the same time, the personal guards protecting Zhu Zaigui were also shocked by Zhu Zaigui's sword. They never dreamed that the prince they were protecting had such arm strength that he could cut the man in half diagonally with just one sword. How much strength must it take?

The powerful generals of ancient times should be no more than this, right?
