Chapter Thirteen: First Show

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the cold wind was howling. Xue Laoer soon arrived at a place less than fifty steps away from the Shunjun level. Zhou Shixian led a convoy to follow him, with only less than four hundred steps away.

In mid-March, it was still cold, and the night in the capital was still cold. Most of the thirty-dozen soldiers in the level were surrounded by the fire plate after the horse refusing to keep warm. Everyone shrank into a group, with only seven or eight lazy soldiers leaning against the horse refusing to keep guarding the horse refusing to keep guard.

It is said to be a checkpoint, but in fact, a road is opened in the middle of the newly dug trench earth wall. On the road, a layer of horse-resisting horses is placed and fences are set up on both sides.

Three torches were inserted on both sides of the level to illuminate the light. The flames swaying in the wind emitted an orange-yellow light, shining on these skinny and vicissitudes of life. The thin faces flickered and darker, and even soldiers leaned against the horse and dozed off.

After all, after the capital was broken, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, the world was determined, and it was not their turn to rob the city, so these soldiers naturally relaxed their vigilance.

Moreover, the direct troops of the Shun Army have now gone to the city to make a fortune. They are bullied on weekdays and have to work a lot. Now they still have to stay outside and get frozen. How could they not be angry?

Although the treatment of the Shun Army was much better than that of the Ming Army and the military pay was paid on time, the treatment between the direct troops and the cannon fodder troops was still very different, and the weapons and equipment were also very different.

In fact, this is the most important reason why Zhou Shixian was confident that he could break through successfully. At this time, Li Zicheng did not have enough time, nor did he have enough money and food to rectify these newly incorporated Ming army.

Everything he had spent two months preparing for, and the elite troops he carefully selected were absolutely no worse than these so-called Shunjuns with such excellent equipment.

Seeing dozens of horses galloping openly from not far away, the cavalry in front of him were still wearing more than a dozen torches, the Shun Army soldier guarding Ka did not take it seriously. While waking up the other two Shun Army beside him who were dozing off, he walked forward lazily.

When Xue Laoer approached with his troops, the Shun Army soldiers who had just woken up had already begun to move away and win the horse. They did not have any alertness at all, and only thought it was a normal dispatcher.

After all, if they were still the Ming army a month ago, they would not believe that there would be Ming army in the capital with this courage. At this time, they would come to fight for the card!

"Command!" The Shun Army soldier who stepped forward looked at Xue Laoer and asked with his hand raised his hand to block it.

However, Xue Lao Er did not stop. He was only twenty steps away from refusing the horse. The horse galloping was able to reach it in the blink of an eye. He clamped his legs hard, and the horse under his crotch neighed, and immediately accelerated.

After all, he didn't know what kind of command? Zhou Shixian could just as long as he quietly dealt with the Shun Army, he could not alarm the enemy troops in the Shun Army camps on both sides.

The Shun Army soldier did not hear the command. When he looked up, he saw that he had already rushed to him, and before he could react, he dodged away. A spear had already stabbed like a poisonous snake spitting a letter, instantly piercing through his throat, and a stream of blood splashed out along the spear head.

This is the number one master selected by Zhou Shixian among the Jinyiwei in the capital. He was originally a Ye Bushang from Gansu Town. He has been good at martial arts since he was a child. By chance, he became Jinyiwei.

But due to the burden of the situation and the decline of the Jinyiwei, he had no chance to stand out until he fell in love with Zhou Shixian.

Such a mighty general is as easy as killing a Shun Army sentinel as killing an ant.

The horse hooves of more than a hundred war horses under Xue Laoer were wrapped in cotton cloth, and the movements of galloping on the plains were extremely small. Before the Shun army could react, someone attacked and called for reinforcements, they had already arrived.

At the same time, the other Shun troops on the side of the checkpoint had no time to react, and a rain of arrows had already hit the horse's back.

Within twenty steps, the distance was to ride a bow and shoot. The thin armor on the Shun Army alone could not stop the attack of the arrows. All seven or eight Shun Army soldiers fell down before and after the horses, and none of them were spared.

Not only that, more than twenty other Shun Army soldiers who were keeping warm on the fire plate were also accurately hit by another rain of arrows, and more than a dozen people fell down with wailing. The fire plate in the middle was even hit by the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and sparks splashed in the dark.

Xue Laoer reacted quickly. The spear that stabbed the Shun Army soldier's neck had already been taken back by him. The Shun Army soldier was instinctively covering the bloody neck with both hands. His face was ferocious and his expression was painful, but he could not make a sound in his mouth and soon fell to the ground with a "bang".

The spear in Xue Lao Er stabbed out again, but this time his target was the two refusals.

He tried to force his crotch again, using the horse's back as support, and he picked it up with force. The horse-rewarded that had been half removed by Shunjun in front of him fell to the side in an instant and gave up the passage.

At the same time, three cavalrymen followed suit and tried their best to pick the other side of the horse and rushed to the side. Seeing this, more than a dozen cavalrymen behind Xue Laoer immediately rushed into the checkpoint.

Faced with such a surprise soldier, the seven remaining soldiers of the Shun Army had already exploded. In the crisis, the Ming court's border army's nature of panic and only rushing to escape was exposed. The seven were scared and turned around and wanted to escape.

However, how could two legs run beyond four legs? More than a dozen Ming cavalry rushed up and suddenly stabbed out the spear in their hands. The seven Shun soldiers were killed from behind before they could run a few steps.

Seeing the last two Shunjuns who were pierced through their backs with spears falling down, Xue Laoer immediately sent more than 20 cavalrymen to explore the way forward, and immediately sent people back to report the military information of the level to Zhou Shixian, and he himself kept alert in the level.

Zhou Shixian received the military information sent by Xue Laoer in the dark, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Even Wang Chaoxian and others around him were relieved, and the entire convoy was also relieved at the same time.

This is the first battle for the army to leave the city. We must win, but we can only win. Otherwise, his efforts over the past two months have become a joke. Even these thirty or so Shun troops cannot deal with it. How can we talk about destroying the Qing Dynasty and saving the country?

Moreover, this has a great impact on the morale of the entire army. After all, the Ming army was defeated so many times. The victory of this battle was the beginning of reshaping the confidence of the army.

"Send the order, the entire army set out, Xue Changfu led his troops to continue to act as the vanguard of the Holy Chariot, Zhang Hong led his troops to reconnaise the left and right wings, and the rest of the troops followed. No one was allowed to make a sound without reason, and those who violated the order would be killed!"

"Yes!" After hearing this, the generals responded.
