The more ferocious they were when they came, the more miserable they were when they were defeated.
He was referring to the lieutenant of the True Yellow Flag, De Gelei, and his two subordinates.
Degre's heart was filled with regret.
If he hadn't underestimated his opponent, he might not have suffered such a crushing defeat.
"We have to go back and gather the troops to defeat this Ming army. Otherwise, my Houjin will be in danger.”
Only when they fought against them did they know how terrifying this new Ming army was.
"These people are all equipped with firearms. They must be the Ming Dynasty's Divine Arms Battalion. Could it be that their emperor has come to the outside of the pass?”
Just as Degre was letting his imagination run wild, gunshots rang out behind him again.
Degre looked back with a hint of panic on his face.
They saw the Ming cavalrymen shooting at them with their muskets.
After firing, they began to load the gunpowder again.
Due to their skilled skills, they could complete the loading on the bumpy horse.
Moreover, with their Arabian warhorses, they could easily catch up with the Jianu Cavalry.
"Lieutenant, they're catching up."
"Lieutenant, our horses couldn't outrun them at all. Many of our brothers were killed by them from behind.”
"That's right, Lieutenant, let's go back and fight them.”
This kind of fighting style was really too stifling. Their fiery tempers could not tolerate it at all.
He looked at the decreasing number of soldiers behind him and then at the Ming soldiers who were getting closer and closer.
Even the valiant Degul couldn't help but feel despair.
Fight? Didn't he want to?
However, this group of cavalrymen wore thick iron armor.
They had never seen this new type of armor before.
It was so sturdy that even their pointed arrows could not penetrate it.
Not to mention their knives.
Facing this kind of armored cavalry, they could only stretch their necks and be killed.
Moreover, he didn't know what kind of horse the other party was riding. It was a mighty horse.
They could actually run so fast and for so long even after carrying heavily armored cavalrymen.
But did he have a choice?
He led a total of 3,000 cavalrymen out.
Less than half a day had passed, and there were only less than 500 people left. They had lost more than 2,000 people.
Even if he went back, what awaited him was probably a guillotine.
"Our Eight Banners only have soldiers who die in battle, not cowards who run away.”
"Everyone, turn around and kill the enemy with me!”
The Degres shouted loudly, letting out a lion-like roar. They turned their horses around and charged at the pursuing cavalrymen.
The two sides were like two roaring tsunamis.
Degley was the first to take the lead, and the large saber in his hand directly slashed at the plate armor.
Sparks flashed as the blade sliced through the plate armor, leaving only a white mark.
This set of plate armor produced by the system was forged from a high-hardness light alloy. The entire set weighed 20KG.
It was not something that ordinary swords could pierce through.
This was also the reason why Slave Jian's bow and arrows were unable to pose a threat to the cavalry.
Even the system said that the soldiers were elites, so how could they be simple?
"Whoosh!"
The long and thin saber slashed across the neck of Dege.
Even though he was covered in armor.
However, the sharp blade coupled with the kinetic energy of the cavalry's charge.
It easily tore through the armor.
"Puff!"
A line of blood spurted out from his neck, and he fell heavily from the horse.
"Lieutenant!"
"Lieutenant!"
When the soldiers of Slave Jian saw this scene, they immediately shouted.
Their eyes were red. This scene had completely infuriated them.
However, this did not change their decision.
It had to be said that in terms of willpower, the current Slaves were comparable to the Japanese pirates who had been brainwashed by the Bushido.
"Milord, our army has completely wiped out the Jian Slave Cavalry.”
Cavalry Battalion Commander Zhu Zhen's armor had been dyed red by Slave Jian's blood.
Zhu Heng even saw a lot of minced meat and sausages hanging on it.
He could not help but frown.
He nodded lightly and said," Very good. Immediately go and count the casualties and the results of the battle. Leave a cavalry company to clean up the battlefield. The rest will follow me to attack Guangning City."”
In a siege, cavalry was not very useful.
An hour later, the battle results and losses were tabulated.
The first was the casualties. Zhu Heng frowned as he watched, his heart twitching.
Even though they had completely annihilated the 3,000 cavalrymen of Jian Nu, they had paid a heavy price.
Among them, the line infantry unit lost more than 400 people, of which more than 200 died in battle, and the rest were lightly injured.
In other words, more than half of the infantry battalion had been lost.
A thousand infantrymen against three thousand cavalrymen, with the advantage of firearms and battle formations, they still suffered such heavy casualties.
In the future, in the field, it was better to avoid using weak forces to fight against cavalry.
Fortunately, the system had a setting.
As long as the soldiers were rewarded by the system, the system would replace them if they lost one.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Heng dared to fight against thousands of Jian Nu cavalrymen with a thousand men in the field.
After packing up, Zhu Heng led the remaining troops and headed straight for Guangning City.
Even though the walls of Guang Ning City were strong, there were no more than 200 soldiers inside.
Zhu Heng gathered 20 6-pound cavalry cannons and fired at the city gate.
In less than an hour, Zhu Heng led the army into Guang Ning City.
This was also the first time that Great Ming had taken back an important town from Slave Jian, and they had also wiped out thousands of Slave Jian.
