The cavalry town has fully replaced the rifled rifle.

Next is hunting the Eight Banners Mongolia.

Before sending troops, Hu Guozhu solicited Zhu Cijiong's opinions.

"King Ding, what are your opinions on how to hunt the Eight Banners Mongolia?"

Hu Guozhu was very tactful, and Zhu Cijiong did not act like a prince, because Chongzhen often told him that as a king, there was no need to act like an air with his subjects, and everyone was equal in personality.

"Xiao Wang has no good ideas here, so Mr. Hu will do whatever he says."

After hearing Zhu Cijiong say this, Hu Guozhu's heart immediately fell back into his stomach, and immediately said with a smile: "That's right, the horses of the Eight Banners Mongolia are really good, and the war horses are not much worse than ours. Under the same conditions, it is probably difficult for us to catch up with them. This is the case on the way to Dengzhou in the south. We failed to catch up with several chases."

Zhu Cijiong said that there was no such thing as the more than 2,000 cavalry I brought from Liaodong.

The reason is very simple, because the war horses of the Liaodong cavalry were all three thousand white-armored war horses brought to Korea by Oboi, and all were good horses that Mongolian tribes paid tribute to the Qing court.

Therefore, in Liaodong, the Ming cavalry was able to catch up with the Mongolian cavalry.

But these cavalrymen in the cavalry station obviously do not have such good horses.

"But after the Eight Banners Mongolia entered Shandong, it would definitely be difficult to replenish food and grass."

Hu Guozhu continued: "So we can use food and grass as bait to fish."

"This method is very good." Zhu Cijiong said happily, "then let's do it."

"Okay, come here." Hu Guozhu signaled the accompanying Guozisheng to open the map and chose a small stronghold called Qingtuozibao along the Laizhou Bay. "Why not just do that?"

"Come." Zhu Cijiong said, "that's Qingtuozi Castle."

...

Not far from Qingzhou, near Laizhou Bay, there is a large lake called Qingshuipo.

A thousand cavalry team from the Eight Banners Mongolia was camping on the south bank of Qingshuibo.

It was already the eighth day of the second month, but the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty had not yet passed, so the land was still cold in Qingzhou, and there was no sign of melting in the ice surface of the clear water.

Shandong in the late Ming Dynasty did not warm until the end of March.

Therefore, the life of the Eight Banners and Mongolia is also very hard.

Not only people, but also war horses are bitter because they cannot find grass to eat.

It is said that war horses must eat grass, otherwise they will have diarrhea, which is nonsense.

At least Mongolian horses are not so delicate. They can be digested as long as they are grass, and they will not lose weight and diarrhea.

Having said that, if it is a high-intensity marching or fighting, the war horses must be fed beans or even wine, otherwise the war horses will lose weight or even die.

Bart was drinking the wine facing the wine gourd.

Although there is wine and beef jerky with wine, Bart is not in a good mood.

First, they were worried about the supply of military rations and forage, and then they were worried about the revenge of the Ming army.

A few days ago, six or seven thousand Ming cavalry went along Laizhou Bay to Dengzhou. Bart instinctively felt that the Ming army must be planning a revenge operation, and it would not be delayed for too long.

Amid the sound of horse hooves, a team of hundreds of horses returned to the camp.

"Agula." Bart shouted loudly, "Have you found the Hangou Village?"

A burly Mongolian man came to Bat and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have searched all over the area within a radius of hundreds of miles, and even found a county town, but there was no one in the city and it was all abandoned."

Bart sighed when he heard this. This was all caused by the war. Jinan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, and half of the population of Qingzhou Prefecture were plundered by the Qing soldiers, and even the Kong family in Qufu was abducted.

Later, the remaining population was moved to Denglai by the Ming army.

So the current Qingzhou Prefecture has almost become a white land.

In this case, it is really not easy to find food and forage.

But it’s not OK to not look for it, because the dry food and fodder I brought are almost eaten up.

"The governor, if it really doesn't work, go to Laizhou Prefecture to grab it." Agula said with a grim voice.

"What you said is light." Bart snorted, "Hangou is hiding in the city. Even if a few large families don't live in the city, most of them have built forts. How can you grab them?"

"Or else, you can attack the camp on the Mingdog Food Road?"

Another Mongolian military general said: "If you kill a camp, you will have everything."

Bart was a little moved, but he was worried about the casualties: "Look at it again, it's better to wait for Minggou's baggage team to come out of the camp before fighting, so that's easy to fight."

Just as I was talking, I won’t take it back for a night.

"Duzeng, Qingtuozi's Minggou baggage team has come out."

"Are you finally coming out? I thought they could hide forever."

Bart asked again with a grin, "How many civilians and how many carriages have come out?"

The scout cavalry said: "More than 300 civilians, more than 100 carriages and more than 200 mules and horses."

Bart asked again: "How many Ming infantry are there to protect them?"

The scout cavalry said, "About a hundred or ten."

"This is great." Agula grinned, "I snatched this batch of food and grass, enough for us to eat for a month. Let's do it!"

"Don't worry," Bart shook his head and said, "Minggou's baggage team has just come out. We'll pass too quickly, and they will definitely retract again, so they have to let them go as far as possible."

"Oh yes yes yes." Agula woke up in a dream, "That's the reason."

After half an hour, Bart stood up and said, "Send the order, everyone will get on the horse, Qingtuozi will beat the grass valley!"

...

The coast of Laizhou Bay.

A Ming army baggage team composed of more than 300 civilians, more than 100 carriages and more than 200 mules and horses were winding northwards, and more than 100 Ming army infantry were also guarding them.

At some point, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

"Cabin! There are cavalry! There are cavalry coming here!"

A "civilian" sitting on the shaft of one of the carriages suddenly jumped up.

Then the man took out a telescope from his arms, stood on the shaft of the car and looked around.

Soon, the civilians saw a large group of black cavalry on the horizon in the southwest, sweeping overwhelmingly towards the location of the baggage team.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, there was no fear on the face of the civil servants, but instead had a good look of joy.

"As soon as planned." At the order of the civil servants, more than 300 civil servants became "in chaos", and more than 100 Ming army infantry ran to the southwest of the baggage team.

Soon, the Mongolian cavalry who came from the southwest approached within a thousand steps.

The Ming army's "packet team" also retreated to the beach and arranged a car array behind the sea.

Obviously, the Ming army's "Bailout Team" knew that it was too late to withdraw from the Qingtuozi stronghold and too late to go to the stronghold ahead, so they could only set up a defensive vehicle array with their backs on Beihai and try to resist stubbornly.

The sound of hooves and horses were crowded, and the Mongolian cavalry quickly approached within a hundred steps.

At this moment, the "civilian man" just now shouted, and more than 300 civilians who were originally "panicked" immediately took out a flintlock rifle from the carriage, and then quickly entered the line and arrayed the more than 100 Mingjuns lined up. In just a blink of an eye, they had already arranged the line and arrayed.

There are three rows in front and back, with about 150 people in each row.

...

"A thief!"

Seeing this scene, Bart couldn't help but be surprised.

It's just a pig, so you can see that you've been fooled.

This is not a baggage team, it is all pretended to be Minggou infantry.

"I'm fooled, retreat quickly!" Bart suddenly tweaked his horse's heads and turned to the side.

The front row of cavalry following Bart also saw this scene and turned one after another.

In an instant, the cavalry frenzy that was originally rushing forward was like hitting a reef, instantly cracking into two halves, and then circling towards both sides of the reef.

However, even if we go around diagonally, the distance between the two armies continues to approach.

Soon, the distance between the two armies was less than fifty steps. The next moment, the Ming army, who had arranged the line formation, began to advance one after another, and took turns to fire guns.

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the Mongolian cavalry instantly turned their backs and overturned.

Even Bart, the Eight Banners Mongolian commander, was shot in the chest and fell backwards.

After a while, the Mongolian cavalry detoured from both sides of the Ming army line and barely completed the turn before rushing to the ice of the North Sea. Then they rode straight along the coastline in the north and south directions. They didn't even have the courage to approach the Ming army infantry from the flank, and just wanted to escape quickly.

However, can you still escape at this time?

Before the Mongolian cavalry fled far away, rolling smoke and dust were raised in both north and south at the same time.

Then the two Ming cavalry swept over like two red hurricane waves.

"Escape west!" Two Mongolian cavalry immediately turned their horses and broke through to the west.

Unfortunately, red hurricanes appeared on the west horizon not far away.
