    Whether it was Kong Youde or Mao Chenglu and other rebel generals, when they heard the explosion, they felt as if they were struck by lightning. The immediate thought was that the Pingdu City defenders had already caught up.  Look at the two thousand cavalry who were slightly relaxed suddenly being bombarded by a burst of gunpowder packets, which immediately destroyed the camp. Blood and flesh were everywhere on the scene. Many uncontrollable horses threw the cavalry off their horses, and were trampled mercilessly by the panicked horses.  More cavalrymen were disturbed by the sudden explosion. They grabbed the reins of their horses and ran around like headless flies. They didn't know what to do!  Various shouting orders were heard from time to time among the rebel cavalry, requiring all cavalry to remain calm. At the same time, uncontrollable horses in the cavalry team were directly killed, finally calming down the chaotic situation.  "Boom!" The smoking gunpowder bag was thrown into the chaotic cavalry queue again. In an instant, the team that had just been somewhat stable collapsed. The rebel cavalry didn't know whether the next gunpowder bag would fall next to them. The cavalry did not  He grabbed the reins and ran away like a fly.  This second round of explosions plunged the newly assembled rebel infantry into chaos again. The rebels crowded and trampled on each other. Unknown how many soldiers were trampled to death in the chaos, and some soldiers slashed left and right with their swords.  Trying to escape this land of death.  Seeing that the situation was out of control again, Kong Youde's triangular eyes drooped with despair on his face. At this moment, it was difficult for anyone to remain calm in the face of the threat of death, and protecting one's own safety was the most important thing.  At this moment, Kong Youde seemed to have lost all his ambitions and allowed his close friends and family to support him in escaping from the explosion site.  Mao Chenglu and other major rebel generals, who were panicked by the explosion, realized the power of the gunpowder packets better than Kong Youde. Fortunately, these powder packets did not affect them for the time being.  Mao Chenglu and other rebel generals were escorted by their confidants and fled the scene.  In the valley, the enemy-hunting cavalry, who were already ready to go, rushed out of the valley with shouts.  The target was the four thousand infantry that the rebels had just assembled.  The momentum brought by the regular "treading" of iron hoofs was unmatched by the frightened rebel cavalry. Two hundred cavalrymen from the Hunting Enemy Division roared towards the official road.  The six-foot-wide official road was blocked, blocking nearly half of the rebel infantry.  Most of the rebel soldiers knelt down and surrendered as the front passed by. A few more rebel soldiers jumped off the official road and fled in all directions. The enemy hunter had no time to pay attention to these fleeing soldiers. Shen Xiaoshan shouted loudly and ordered these soldiers to be captured first.  Nearly two thousand rebel soldiers were all driven to the valley where the enemy hunting division had previously ambushed to take care of them.  As for the more than a hundred rebel cavalry who were casualties on the scene, they stayed in the official road and ignored them. They just gathered some ownerless horses and retreated into the valley.  Shen Xiaoshan knew that the rebel cavalry from behind could arrive at any time, and these casualty rebels would only intensify the panic and suspicion of the hastily arriving rebels.  This is very beneficial to the enemy hunter's subsequent cover-up.  Shen Xiaoshan was going to give a feast to the rebel cavalry who then fled, leaving this part of the cavalry behind!  It was a long day in summer, and around midnight, the hunting horses from the Hunter Division came to report that about 800 rebel cavalry broke through the Xiaohuakou blockade and galloped in the direction of the Hunter Division's ambush.  Shen Xiaoshan inquired about the situation of the eight hundred rebels in detail, then redeployed the enemy hunting department and ordered Xie Wu to lead thirty soldiers from the enemy hunting department to guard the rebel troops in the valley.  Guo Tai continued to lead 20 soldiers to ambush on both sides of the official road, and surprised the rebels with gunpowder packets.  The remaining 150 people waited until this group of rebel cavalry rushed over and fought their way out of the valley again.  Use prepared versus unprepared tactics to force the panicked rebel cavalry to dismount and surrender.  By this time, the sky had darkened, and the sounds of horse hooves could be heard from the south of the official road. Shen Xiaoshan told the reluctant Guo Tai not to cause any accidents to the prisoners in the valley.  Then he led most of the officers and soldiers of the Enemy Hunting Department to rush towards the official road on horseback.  Cao Shaozhong, who had just rushed out from under the gunfire of the Xiaohuakou garrison, felt like he was having a nightmare. His two thousand elite cavalry were unable to resist the repeated attacks from the opponent's firearms.  Of the two thousand cavalry following him, only 800 were able to escape the opponent's artillery blockade.  Among these elites who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round, only a few are killed by the opponent's firearms.  Most of the cavalry were injured by firearms and became prisoners of the opponent.  No matter what, I finally broke out of the opponent's blockade. I and my 800 cavalrymen finally escaped from the nightmare place of Pingdu City.  I hope there won't be any more ambush, Cao Shaozhong breathed a sigh of relief and secretly prayed in his heart.  Cao Shaozhong was wondering where Kong Youde led the main force of the Chinese army to retreat to, and why didn't he send anyone to contact him?  Suddenly, there was a commotion among the cavalry galloping in front, mixed with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. Cao Shao panicked, and he quickly shouted and galloped to the front of the queue.  The official road ahead was pocked with holes due to the bombing, and his menThe soldiers and horses accidentally stepped on the potholes, and many unlucky cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground.  The corpses of people and horses were scattered on the ground. The seriously injured soldiers groaned feebly. Broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere. Broken weapons and blades were scattered among the corpses and limbs.  In the dusk, this section of road stained with blood is full of horrific and miserable scenes!  Cao Shaozhong's head buzzed like it was exploding. Needless to say, Kong Youde and other main forces were ambushed here again. The Pingdu City defenders set up an ambush here, and the ambush soldiers had the gunpowder packets that most feared the rebel cavalry.  !  Almost subconsciously, Cao Shaozhong shouted: "Ignore the wounded soldiers on the ground, hurry up and rush here" Before Cao Shaozhong could finish his words, a rain of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the side of the official road, and in the dusk  The cavalry of the brigade accelerated towards Cao Shaozhong's cavalry team on the official road.  Just as they were about to gallop, the rebel cavalry reined in their horses. They looked sideways at the accelerating cavalry in surprise. They were not afraid of fighting the rebel cavalry on the battlefield. Their escape had already accumulated a lot of money.  Resentment in the stomach.  As long as the opponent stops throwing gunpowder packets, the rebel cavalry will be confident of defeating the enemy!  Cao Shaozhong reined in his horse and looked sideways at the charging cavalry. There were about 200 cavalry in this group, and he had 800 cavalry beside him. He could completely annihilate this group of cavalry by relying on their numerical superiority.  Kill these cavalry and vent your anger.  Seeing that the opponent only had 200 cavalry, Cao Shaozhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.  Giving up the plan of escaping, he shouted: "Line up and charge back at the opponent. Hurry!" Shen Xiaoshan led the enemy-hunting cavalry to get closer and closer to the rebel cavalry. When he saw that the opponent's cavalry not only did not run, but instead adjusted its direction and accelerated slowly  Rushing towards him, Shen Xiaoshan had a contemptuous smile on his face. He was originally worried that the rebels would run away at all costs and the gunpowder bags lying in wait beside the road would not be effective. Now that they were rushing to die, it was just a good time to let the rebel cavalry have a taste of the gunpowder bags.  taste!  Three hundred steps two hundred steps Cao Shaozhong's cavalry of about four to five hundred galloped down the official road to meet the enemy hunter. All the rebel cavalry had prepared their bows and arrows.  Aiming at the enemy-hunting cavalry who was slowly accelerating.  There was a cruel smile on Cao Shaozhong's lips, and he waved the sword in his hand, shouting "ho ho", as if he wanted to vent the pent-up energy he had suffered during the battle in Pingdu City.  "Boom" "Boom" "Boom" Nightmare-like explosions suddenly came from the official road behind them. About half of the cavalry who had not yet descended the official road were rushing towards them. The explosion of gunpowder packs in the dusk was particularly deafening. The huge explosion caused by  The impact sent rocks, soil, swords, and limbs flying in all directions. Before the smoke cleared, the unaffected cavalrymen on the official road screamed as if they had seen evil spirits.  The horses fled in all directions.  The waist knife that Cao Shaozhong was waving stopped stiffly in the air, his mouth opened wide like a duck being strangled by the neck, and the "ho ho" sound suddenly turned into a "quack" sound, which is as unpleasant as it sounds!  Almost all rebel cavalry understand this.  They also knew that the other party had ambushed soldiers on both sides of the official road, and they threw the gunpowder packets at the right time. The power of the explosion of the gunpowder packets in the past two days has been deeply imprinted in the minds of the cavalry.  Cao Shaozhong hated it even more and wanted to hit the wall.  In the past few days, every time I saw the dawn of victory, I would be ruthlessly blown up by the opponent's gunpowder bag.  The opponent's gunpowder bag has become a nightmare for all rebel cavalry!  The explosion on the official road obviously affected more than 400 cavalrymen walking on the open ground. The huge explosion frightened the cavalry horses.  Most of the cavalry had to put down their bows and arrows and take control of their horses. At this time, two hundred cavalry a hundred steps away suddenly accelerated and began to charge towards them.  There is no time to regret. Now facing the impact of the Hunter Division, only a head-on counterattack can bring a chance of survival. I believe all the cavalry under my command have the same idea.  Cao Shaozhong shouted in a hissing voice: "Fire the arrows, fire the arrows quickly!" The helpless cavalrymen tried to control the frightened horses, but only hundreds of arrows were fired at the oncoming enemy hunting cavalry.  The bows and arrows hit the ranks of the enemy cavalry. The enemy soldiers all wore octagonal iron helmets and chainmail armor. Hundreds of arrows from the rebel cavalry jingled and hit the armor of the enemy soldiers.  Most of the soldiers were unharmed, but a few unlucky soldiers were hit in the vital parts by arrows and fell off their horses screaming.  Seeing that the distance between the two sides was only more than 80 steps, and it was too late to fire another arrow, Cao Shaozhong shouted loudly: "Accelerate the attack!" The rebel cavalry who were forced to the dead end burst out with a fierce spirit. Their many years of cavalry career were enough to make them  After controlling the horses in a short time, the rebel cavalry raised their weapons and shouted "ho ho" with a murderous spirit, urging their horses to charge towards the enemy cavalry.  Shen Xiaoshan watched the changes of the rebel cavalry. In just a hundred steps, the opponent went from being panicked at the beginning to quickly adjusting their formation and urging the horse to start.When facing the attack, everything showed the fighting qualities of an elite cavalry. This is the experience gained by this force from many battles against the enemy. It should be said that Zhenshan Battalion was lucky to be able to defeat this elite cavalry one after another. Zhenshan Battalion relied on  The deft use of firearms defeated this rebel cavalry.  But this does not mean that the Hunter Division is inferior to the opponent in terms of combat power. Now that the two sides are directly confronting each other, let the rebels see how powerful the Hunter Division soldiers are.  The two sides were sixty steps apart. This distance was suitable for crossbow shooting. Shen Xiaoshan shouted: "Shoot!" The crossbow arrows in the hands of more than 150 soldiers flew towards the rebels who were charging with their weapons with sharp winds.  Cavalry, the rebel cavalry queue instantly fell on their backs, and many rebel cavalry fell off their horses screaming.  Shen Xiaoshan threw away his arrows and crossbows and shouted: "Raise your weapons!" "Swipe Lala" The soldiers of the Hunting Division quickly threw away their arrows and crossbows, waved their weapons, and charged towards the rebel ranks like a storm.  "Boom" The soldiers of the Hunting Division collided head-on with the rebel cavalry led by Cao Shaozhong with an indomitable momentum. In an instant, the battlefield was filled with the collision of weapons, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of the injured.  !  !  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
