Chapter 286 Anti-kill!
"Are you just defeated like this?"
Song Mu stood on the city gate tower with a gloomy face, looking at the Qin cavalry running back desperately under the city.
The others around were also stunned and stunned. The dramatic scene below.
Just a moment ago, as soon as two thousand Tang cavalrymen left the camp in a hurry, five thousand Qin cavalrymen turned around and ran away, and they ran while shouting, which seemed very vulnerable.
The Qin military and civilian officials watching the battle on the top of the city immediately cheered, and even a doctor from the Ministry of War was personally beating the drums to cheer.
The Qin cavalry, who were already a little afraid of depression, did not expect that the Tang army, which was rumored to be invincible, would be so vulnerable. After being stunned, they all became ecstatic.
In addition, the people of the defenders on the city next to them cheered and the sound of war drums made their fighting spirit that had disappeared so little suddenly become high. Under the leadership of the chief general Sun Peng, they rushed towards the Tang cavalry that was running wildly and chased after them.
Although Sun Peng felt that something was wrong, even if the Tang army was not as good as the Qin army, it would not be so weak, right?
Moreover, the two armies did not have any substantial contact just now. The spears on their side were more than 1 meter away from the other party, but the other party suddenly turned around and ran away.
Is the other party playing the trick of deliberately luring the enemy into the deeper?
This thought flashed through Sun Peng's mind, but the actual situation could not allow him to think too much.
At this time, everyone in the city was cheering for his bravery, and the soldiers behind him were screaming and trying to follow him to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
At this time, he couldn't stop and said that the enemy could not be so bad, so everyone should calm down.
Don’t say that you can’t say it, even if you say it, no one believes it. Instead, you may have to be dealt with by military law after you go back.
It is a serious crime to miss the military opportunity!
At the speeding war horse, Sun Peng had no time to think about it, so he could only bite the bullet and continue rushing forward.
The two armies fled and chased each other, and the distance between the two armies was always close and far away. It was obvious that they were about to catch up, but the Tang army suddenly accelerated and opened a little further.
Not to mention that Qin Jun was depressed when he was chasing him, even those who were watching the battle on the top of the city felt very uncomfortable.
Someone cursed, "This Tang army is too cowardly, either don't come, you'll have to fight with real swords and guns. Are you still the man who runs around like this?"
Some people took the lead, and more people were singing fragrance at the Tang army.
Li Xu watched coldly, feeling funny.
Knowing that this is Shi Dakai's strategy to show weakness and exhaust the enemy, it should be time to fight back soon.
Sure enough, after several consecutive tossings, let alone Sun Peng, even ordinary Qin cavalry felt something was wrong.
This Tang army is obviously funny, just like flying a kite.
At this time, Sun Peng was finally sure that the Tang army was really trying to lure the enemy into the deep, and finally made up his mind to stop.
In the midsummer, the cavalry were wearing thick armor and running wildly under the scorching sun for half a day, and they were already exhausted.
If you chase it, you will specify that something will happen.
But as soon as he stopped, Tang Jun seemed to have expected it, and quickly turned his head and rushed towards Qin Jun.
Sun Peng was shocked and hurriedly waved his spear and shouted: "Let's line up to greet..."
But before the last word could be expressed, a thumping sound was heard, and white smoke suddenly rose from the Tang army formation opposite.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt like someone was swinging a sledgehammer in his chest and then he fell from his head. When he saw something dark, he felt unconscious.
As soon as the chief general died, the Qin army, which was already scared and scarce, was killed by a resurgence of the Tang army's light cavalry, and suddenly fell over and fell into a mess.
After the initial chaos, the Qin cavalry behind finally reacted and shouted, turning their horses heads and fled back desperately.
The Tang cavalry in turn chased after him.
Before, because the Tang army had always grasped the rhythm, and the Tang army's war horses were better than the Qin army's war horses, the Tang army's horsepower was more surplus than the Qin army and had been chasing closely behind the Qin army.
The sound of the fire guns was heard endlessly, and Qin soldiers were constantly being shot and dropped from their horses.
The five thousand Qin cavalry chased by two thousand Tang army cavalry were in a panic and fled desperately, staring at the Qin officials and civilians on the city.
I thought it would be a victory that could boost morale, but I didn't expect it to reverse so quickly?
Five thousand Qin cavalry fled in scattered, some ran towards the original camp, some rushed towards the city gate, and some ran towards the wilderness.
Anyway, let's run away first.
The Tang army cavalry did not separate and chased the largest Qin army. They stopped until the defenders on the top of the city started to shoot arrows, and they returned to the camp leisurely.
After counting this battle, the Qin army lost at least 50% of the 5,000 cavalrymen, which was not considered injured or lost war horses.
This led to the few cavalry of the Qin army being pitifully few, and even the Qin army could not bring in a built-in cavalry.
What's more serious is that this first cavalry battle caused the already unstable Qin army to plummet a lot, and the impact on the Qin army and people on the city was even more strong.
Even rumors began to spread that night, saying that Tang soldiers knew magic, and Bai Yan would capture the soul and kill the soul, and mortals could not resist it.
Where have ordinary people seen muskets?
Although there were also muskets in the Qin army, there were very few people, and they were still old antique mesh rope guns.
The last time I went to war with Lin Ruhai, I lost all my money in Yan'an Prefecture.
Not to mention seeing muskets used by cavalrymen.
So it seems natural to be passed on to be a demon.
After the Qin cavalry was defeated, the Qin people on the top of the city were worried that the Tang army would take the opportunity to attack the city. Fortunately, the Tang army stopped when they saw it, and it seemed that they had no intention of siege.
As dusk comes, the night gradually becomes deeper.
The city was surrounded by torches, and the patrolling soldiers kept wandering back and forth, fearing that the Tang army would attack the city at night.
The Qin people had become frightened birds at this time.
Song Mu's mansion and study room, Song Mu looked solemn, looking at Du Feng with a shame and Li Xu with a calm look below, his eyes flashed.
"Du Zichao, go back and guard the city, beware of the Tang army's siege at night."
Du Feng knew that Song Mu used this reason to dissuade him, but today he was defeated in the first battle. He felt guilty and did not dare to say anything. He stood up and saluted and left quietly.
"Is the weapon used by the Tang army today a musket?"
Song Mu looked at Li Xu and asked.
Li Xu nodded and said, "It should be a musket. But it seems that they have improved and transformed it into a musket suitable for cavalry. In addition, they deliberately show weakness, so that they can kill our cavalry."
When Song Mu heard this, he was speechless for a while. After a moment, he sighed: "Cambolics can use such sharp muskets. Wouldn't their cannons be even more difficult to resist? Is the Qin Dynasty really going to end?"
He looked sad and helpless as he spoke.
