Chapter 203 Cavalry
At this time, Li Youcheng, who returned to the camp, felt more and more wrong.
If the Ming army had arrived, they would have been joining the Ming army in the camp, but the provosts outside the camp had no reward.
"Report." A cavalry who was sent out to investigate earlier came back.
"Sir, a Ming army suddenly appeared on a hill two or three miles away from the city, with a population of about a hundred." The cavalry reported.
"Only a hundred people?" Li Youcheng stood up and looked at the cavalry in front of him with disbelief.
"There are really only more than a hundred cavalry outside the city?" Li Youcheng asked, with a hint of suspicion in his tone.
"Everything that the villain said is true. There are indeed only more than a hundred reinforcements from the Ming people, but the villain is watching from a distance. The Ming people on the hills have many artillery, with no less than five." The cavalry said hurriedly.
"This is really a strange thing. How could the Ming army of Nainong send a unit of more than 100 people to reinforce?" Mosin, who was standing beside him, also frowned, very puzzled.
Just as everyone in the tent was puzzled, the messenger sent by Niu Wu had already arrived outside the tent.
Now Li Youcheng and others know what happened last night.
"Hmph!" Li Youcheng punched the desk.
"The Ming people are cunning and dare to tease me." When Li Youcheng learned from the envoy sent by Nie Wu that the Nainong defenders attacked the foreign army camp outside the city last night, and a convoy of more than 100 people secretly took this opportunity to leave the city, anger and shame surged in his heart.
"Transfer it, the troops will make fire and make meals. Two quarters of an hour later, the army will set out to wipe out this Ming army for me." Li Youchengdao.
"Sir, I came to inform the general that Lord Niu Wu and Lord Ruan Youjing were about to gather troops to attack Nainong City. Lord Ruan Youjing hoped that Lord Niu would immediately lead 500 Guangnan soldiers back to the army and participate in the attack on Nainong City." The envoy of Lord Niu Wu said coldly.
"We have already attacked Xia Mingren Camp. Now most of the western wall of the Mingren Camp has been burned down by fire. With one day, we will definitely take down the Mingren Camp." Mosin, who was standing beside him, was also anxious. He lost nearly two hundred people under the Mingren Camp. Seeing that the Mingren Camp was about to be broken, he actually wanted to return to his army.
"This is the meaning of Lord Niu Wu and General Ruan Youjing. If the general wants to disobey," the envoy followed the army looked at Mosin coldly.
Li Youcheng is a general in Guangnan. He is a military supervisor and he dare not care, but you Mosin is just a real general. Could it be that you really dare to disobey Lord Niu Wu?
After hearing this, Mosin closed his mouth and said nothing more.
"Give me one day, within one day I will break through the Ming camp and kill the nearby Ming army." Li Youcheng looked at the military envoy and said.
"I will go to apologize to General Ruan Youjing in person."
Seeing this, the military supervisor knew that he could not bring back the army today, so he had to glar at Mosin and leave angrily.
"Thank you, General." Mosin said gratefully with his fists.
"In one day, we will take down the camp and destroy the Ming army three miles away. This..." A Guangnan general shook his head. It took a lot of effort and energy to attack the Ming people's camp. Now there is another Ming army.
"We will destroy the Ming army first, and then capture the camp with troops." Li Youchengdao.
"General Mossin, please hand over your horse team to me. I will lead the cavalry to destroy the Nainon reinforcements." Li Youcheng patted Mossin's shoulder and said.
"This!" Mosin looked puzzled. The personal soldiers of this horse team were accumulated by Mosin through hardships and could not bear to use them on weekdays.
He was already heartbroken when he had lost seven or eight cavalry under the camp. Now he was naturally unwilling to hand over all the cavalry.
Seeing Mosin hesitating, Li Youcheng smiled and said, "Now it is Zhenla fighting to recover Dongpu. If the general is reluctant to leave even dozens of cavalrymen, how can Zhenla take Dongpu?"
"The general has fought with the Ming people in these days, and his bravery is well known. If Zhen La takes Dongpu in the future, we will definitely submit a report to Lord Ruan and reward Dongpu to the general."
Facing the big cake drawn by Li Youcheng, Mossin's eyes shone, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seeing Mosin agreeing, Li Youcheng immediately took his cavalry and Mosin's cavalry without saying a word.
When Ruan Youjing went south to Dongpu, in addition to bringing 500 Guangnan soldiers, he also brought more than a hundred cavalry and cavalry teams.
At this time, more than half of them were under Li Youcheng's hands, and with dozens of cavalry under Mosin's hands, Li Youcheng now had a cavalry of more than 100 sizes.
"Kill." Looking at the more than 100 cavalry surrounding him, Li Youcheng also had a passionate upsurge and ordered more than 100 cavalry to fight towards the reinforcements of Nainong in the distance.
Just in case, there are still two hundred Guangnan troops who will set out with the army.
However, they were soon left far behind by Li Youcheng's cavalry.
"Sir, the Mingren's firearm is fierce. Should I test it?" A cavalry general asked from a distance when he saw the hill where the Mingren was stationed.
"The Ming people's muskets are at most twenty steps away. We can only rush to the horse by a few breaths. As for the Ming people's guns, they are just small cannons, and they cannot threaten my elite iron cavalry." Li Youcheng was obviously also confused by the collision of these hundred cavalry.
From a distance, I saw the artillery arranged by the Ming people on the hills, which were about ten.
Li Youcheng is not a fool either, so he naturally knows that wise people are good at using firearms.
Therefore, I was watching Mingren's cannons from afar. Li Youcheng was not afraid of the musket guns, but he was worried about these cannons.
However, at this moment the cavalry had rushed into a mile away from the Ming army, but the Ming people's artillery was slow to fire, which made the foreign cavalry bold.
If the Ming people fired at this time, it proved that the Ming people must have heavy artillery, and more than a hundred cavalry would inevitably withdraw quickly. But now the cavalry had already rushed into a mile, but the Ming people's artillery was still not moving.
"See, the Ming people are all small cannons in their hands." Li Youcheng laughed when he saw this.
That's right, for example, the cannons in Nainong City are more than a thousand pounds at any time, and the cannons in red cannons are often thousands or tens of thousands of pounds. How could they be transported here in one night?
"Rare for me." Li Youcheng held up his spear and personally led more than a hundred cavalry to rush towards the Ming army.
At this moment, they were only seven or eight hundred steps away from the Ming army.
Thirty Ming army musketeers were ready for battle, and a musket was aimed at the cavalry not far away.
This can be said to be the first time that the Luzon Ming army encountered a cavalry charge.
More than a hundred cavalrymen charged in the distance, and horses were stomping in the mud of rice fields, and the soil was flying for a while.
There were sounds of horse hooves and war horses neighing one after another.
"Sir, the cavalry is about five hundred steps away from me." A flag official reported.
"Start the cannon!" Lin Xu said coldly.
The five Furang machine cannons in the front artillery team were at a high altitude, aiming at the horse team more than 500 steps away.
"Let it go!" the five gunners shouted.
Torches lit the fuse rope on the sub-gun.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Five loud noises, five lead bullets flew out.
