Chapter 586 Transporting Materials

The two rifles fired bullets almost at the same time. Zuo Menggeng threw away his helmet immediately and then rushed to the bottom of the war horse, but another bullet hit his shoulder. Looking from a high place, Zuo Menggeng seemed to have fallen down from the horse.

"Protect the General..."

Zuo Menggeng's men were also loyal. After all, these people have been following him for many years. After seeing this situation, they immediately surrounded him. Although the snipers on both sides frequently fired shots, they never noticed Zuo Menggeng again. This guy is not a fool, so he naturally has to hide.

"Surrender and not kill."

Not far away, Jiang Mu's army also rushed up. Apart from the group of people under Zuo Menggeng, the remaining people had no idea of ​​fighting at all.

Moreover, Zuo Menggeng corporal punishment of soldiers all the way, and these people were reluctant to run with him, so after hearing this sound, they all knelt on the ground honestly and raised their hands.

"Your price is too high, leader."

Jiang Mu finally saw this army of snipers. When I set off, I was five hundred young men with sticks. Now there are less than three hundred people left with combat effectiveness. The remaining people have lost their combat effectiveness.

"I still didn't stop that guy Zuo Menggeng, and I still underestimated them."

Wu Chengxun gritted his teeth and said, this guy's left hand was also injured.

"Although Zuo Menggeng ran away, our plan is OK. Didn't he lend more than 17,000 people? This time it would be great if he had three thousand people under him. Most of the people were in our hands, and there were also a group of generals. Let's interrogate them carefully and see where Zuo Menggeng went."

Jiang Mu said comfortingly, in fact, everyone knows that even if they capture all seven thousand people, it would be better to capture Zuo Menggeng alone. But now they do not have such strong strength, so they can only do this first.

"Leave a regiment of infantry to deal with the matter here, and the rest immediately chase after him."

Wu Chengxun knew that time was urgent, and even if they won such a big victory, they would not be able to delay time in this place.

If no one followed them, this guy would soon disappear from everyone's sight. At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blamed him and no one could afford to be guilty. The most important thing was that he lost this guy and could not explain it to the hundreds of thousands of people in Wuchang.

"You are injured, you should do business here. I will chase you with the rest of my brothers."

Jiang Mu said with concern that although Wu Chengxun wanted to continue chasing, he also knew that he was injured. If he continued to pursue, it might not be much effective. It would be better to let Jiang Mu chase after the rest of the people.

"You bring all the intact cavalry, and I leave a regiment of infantry, and I urge them to follow you up quickly."

In this case, Wu Chengxun chose a rational decision. What Jiang Mu was most afraid of was that this guy would not go down the line of fire. If he dragged himself down, he would not only not be able to catch up with Zuo Menggeng, but also left him with illness.

"The cavalry gets on horseback and continues to pursue."

Jiang Mu took the horse rope from Wu Chengxun's hand. During the battle just now, Jiang Mu's war horse was killed, and now he can only continue chasing Wu Chengxun's war horse.

Because of the loss in the battle just now, Jiang Mu could only continue to chase after him with more than 3,500 cavalrymen.

Zuo Menggeng's strength gradually weakened, and their pursuit troops were also slowly weakening. Fortunately, the infantry behind caught up, which added some ammunition to the cavalry.

The combat power of muskets is indeed very powerful, but everyone can see it.

If there is no sufficient ammunition supply, their combat power on the battlefield will drop very quickly. Many people have emptied the ammunition on their bodies just now, so now they can only take over the infantry brothers first.

"Zhang Facai, everyone else can be idle with you, and you can't take your subordinates to me immediately. If Captain Jiang and others don't have enough bullets, even if they catch up with me, Zuo Menggeng, they can't do anything. Let your subordinates overcome them."

Just as Wu Chengxun's arm was bandaged, he saw a convoy of supplies coming from afar.

"Don't worry, the brothers have already been working hard. I sent three people to each big cart. The brothers took turns to travel. Although our speed could not keep up with the cavalry regiment, we did not rest for a day, eating in the car and sleeping in the cart, so we would not delay our brothers."

Zhang Facai looked kind. He was the logistics captain of these two infantry regiments and a cavalry regiment. At this moment, this guy was already on the way with hundreds of trucks of weapons, ammunition and various supplies.

"Don't talk big with me. If you really can't complete the mission, you won't be able to escape by then. Who is transporting supplies behind you?"

Wu Chengxun said with some concern that they had been away from Wuchang for a long time now. There was such a big disaster in Wuchang, and many materials must have been affected, so it was normal for Wu Chengxun to worry about logistics.

"Don't worry, the leader of the regiment, all our supplies are up the Yangtze River. Now we have collected more than 4,000 boatmen. We have brought dozens of ships to us. At the ferry twenty miles away, we have unloaded a ship of supplies. More than 60 trucks are almost pulled over. My deputy captain Ma Chenglong is in charge."

While talking, Zhang Facai jumped onto a carriage moving forward. Although the speed of these carriages was not very fast, they were much faster than people walking. Just like what Zhang Facai said, there were three coachmen in their carriage, and they basically stopped people and didn't stop.

After Zhang Facai finished speaking, the man had reached dozens of meters away. Wu Chengxun also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that General Ye Yun had made arrangements long ago.

All kinds of materials around Wuchang were used to help the victims. The things transported from Nanjing did not stop from Wuchang and were transported directly along the Yangtze River. However, the nearby Yangtze River began to become narrower and the water flowed rapidly. Without these boatmen, it would be impossible to transport them.

At this time, Wu Chengxun felt that it would be better to go from Beijing to Nanjing. His Royal Highness had already been repaired by the Prince, so that four carriages could travel side by side. When could there be such a road here?
