Steel Dynasty - Chapter 773

[Chapter 772 The Glory of the Chasseur]

Qiao Dachuan skillfully made the horse lie down on the ground to avoid being discovered, and then he started looking for the barbarian scouts with a telescope.

As a member of the Chasseur, he is mainly responsible for two tasks. The first is to detect the enemy’s movements, and the second is to hunt down enemy scouts to cover up the movements of his own troops.

After the army from Songzhou City set off, he and his companions from the Chasseurs set out first to hunt down the barbarian scouts to prevent the army’s purpose from being discovered.

Not long after he set out, he quickly used the advantage of his telescope to discover a group of ten barbarian scouts coming towards them, so he immediately asked his companions to ambush on the side of the hill, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

As Chasseurs, they are strong men carefully selected from the army. After training, they have special investigative skills.

In terms of firearms, they were also given preferential treatment. In addition to a sharp saber, they had a short-barreled musket on each side of the horse.

They only use them when hunting enemy scouts.

“Get everything ready!”

Qiao Dachuan said in a low voice as the barbarian scouts got closer and closer.

The team members who also pressed their horses behind the hill immediately cheered up and were ready to kill these scouts at any time.

While waiting quietly, the barbarian scouts were getting closer and closer, and they even heard the sound of horse hooves. At this time, Qiao Dachuan suddenly shouted and got on his horse.

Following his movements, the other team members also let their horses get up from the ground. They instantly jumped onto their horses, and the entire movement was completed in one go.

The barbarian cavalry obviously did not expect that there would be an ambush along the route they passed. When the ten people saw the hunting cavalry wearing thin clothes, they were startled for a moment, and then they hesitated whether to kill this group of scout cavalry from the Chongqing Kingdom.

Because when all the soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom appeared, there were ten people in total. More importantly, these people were not protected by armor and only had a piece of cloth on them.

While the barbarians were stunned, Qiao Dachuan had already led his soldiers to rush towards the barbarian scouts. At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, and they were about to come into contact in the blink of an eye.

The barbarian cavalry reacted. At this time, the cavalry of Dayu Kingdom had already arrived in front of them. They had no time to set up their bows and shoot arrows. They drew their scimitars and charged towards Qiao Dachuan and his party.

But when they were about to collide, the cavalry of Dayu suddenly pulled out a musket from their horseback and shot them.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Sporadic gunshots rang out, and accompanied by white smoke, the barbarian scouts fell from their horses one after another, and they were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Turning the horse’s head, Qiao Dachuan glanced at the scout lying on the ground, then he pulled out another musket and shot again at the barbarian soldier on the ground.

The other team members followed suit, in order to prevent these men from exposing the Chasseur tactics.

After dealing with this group of barbarian scouts, they continued on the road to look for the next group of barbarian scouts. At the same time, there were nine teams of hunting cavalry distributed in a line looking for traces of the barbarian scouts.

After a day’s trek, the army led by Luo Quan successfully arrived at Yazhou City. He took advantage of the darkness to besiege Yazhou City.

The next day, Lu Fei’s infantry arrived belatedly, and the three of them gathered together to prepare to attack the city.

“Bodo seems to have not received the news of our arrival. This hunting cavalry is still of some use.” Luo Quan said.

Lu Fei exclaimed: “The emperor is proficient in all kinds of arts and martial arts. He is truly a genius through the ages. This hunting cavalry was the emperor’s idea. It is very effective in dealing with the barbarian scouts. Now Bodo may have become a blind man.”

“It’s not just Bodo .

, the other barbarian raiding teams may also have become blind,” Qi Guangyi said.

In order to annihilate this invading enemy, all the hunting cavalry were dispatched this time. Before the siege began, a secret contest had already begun.

The three of them chatted casually, and Luo Quan said: “We must attack the city immediately. If it is too late, we may be afraid of changes.”

Lu Fei nodded, and he said to his generals: “Attack the city!”

After Lu Fei’s infantry arrived. Before, Qi Guangyi had led the cavalry to besiege Yazhou City in advance. Now Yazhou City is like a cage.

As soon as Lu Fei finished speaking, the sound of artillery suddenly sounded, and Chen Ting ordered the artillery to bombard the city gate walls from the front at the same time.

Yazhou City was just a small city with weak walls and small gates. Under the attack of artillery, the walls quickly collapsed and the gates were beaten to pieces.

In the city, Bodo was already like an ant on a hot pot. The scout went out for a day and did not return. When he opened his eyes the next day, Yazhou City had been surrounded by the cavalry of Dayu Kingdom.

He originally prepared two routes. The first one was to storm Songzhou City after the rendezvous. The second route was to withdraw early when the Chongqing army was discovered before the rendezvous.

But now both roads are blocked.

After the sound of cannon outside the city, he pulled out the scimitar from his waist: “My people, there are no cowardly descendants of the Golden Horde. Even if we die in battle today, we will not lose our glory. Follow me!”

Barbarian !

The cavalrymen listened to Bodo’s words quietly. As soon as his voice fell, the cavalrymen let out wild shouts. They followed Bodo and rushed out of the city.

Today, they either died in battle in Yazhou City, or they broke through the siege and returned to the grassland.

Luo Quan looked indifferent when he saw the barbarian cavalry coming. Today is different from the past. The soldiers of Dayu will no longer be frightened by the barbarians.

Apart from the difference in will, the two sides are now competing on the strength of their weapons and bodies.

The musketeers immediately opened fire on the barbarian cavalry who rushed out of the city gate. Under three shots, the barbarian cavalry fell one after another.

After completing the shooting, they retreated. At this time, Qi Guangyi led the cavalry and rushed towards the cavalry led by Bodo like a gust of wind.

Because of the large number of cavalry, the court does not yet have enough short-barreled muskets. The cavalry still uses crossbows.

The two sides rushed to a distance of twenty meters, and the Yu cavalry picked up a crossbow on horseback and fired an arrow at the oncoming barbarian cavalry.

The barbarian cavalry suddenly fell on their backs, and Dayu’s tricky fighting style caught them by surprise.

But the next scene that surprised them even more appeared. The soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom used the crossbows that had fired the crossbows as weapons and smashed them at the rest of the cavalry.

Under the attack of crossbows and crossbows, the ranks of the barbarian cavalry were in chaos. At this time, the tightly organized cavalry of the Great Chongqing State plunged into the ranks of the barbarian cavalry like a torrent of steel.

Suddenly the war horses neighed and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The cuirassiers showed the advantage of heavy cavalry at this moment. They relied on their armor to charge left and right among the barbarian cavalry, with their sabers flying and blood splattering everywhere.

Lu Fei did not stop to watch the battle at this time. He commanded the musketeers to enter the city through the gap and split the barbarian cavalry blocked in the city into two, completely making it impossible for the barbarian army to look at each other head to tail.
