Chapter 597: Fire Rain

We walked and stopped all the way, and it was late at night that the Liaozhen soldiers entered the Puhe Station. It was only more than twenty miles along the way, but they were harassed by Huazhou cavalry of all sizes.

The brigade of people in Huazhou did not keep up. The 3,000 cavalry with the new type of muskets was the largest group, with the most people behind it, and there were more than one thousand people, and there were also hundreds of people. These people had excellent riding skills or were provoking on the edge of the Ming army brigade.

Or they took advantage of the momentum to rush into the formation. At this time, the Liao Zhen soldiers had only 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and they were all tired troops. They wanted to fight against the opponent. The opponent was light cavalry and had a lot of horsepower. As long as they ran, they would definitely not be able to catch up with them. If they didn't fight, these enemies who were eyeing each other were not vegetarians.

I could only walk and stop, and then continue to move the harassing enemy soldiers, which was even more tired, and I couldn't stand it. However, the Liao Town soldiers were already numb from General Li Gufeng and the soldiers below. As long as you come, I will fight, and if you don't come, I will leave.

The generals of the central army were only the elite troops that restrained the general of Liao Town, namely those Li Gufeng's personal soldiers and family generals, who had no choice but to give up the soldiers on the periphery. Since no one was in charge, every time the Huazhou army was harassing, they would break up a group of the Ming army, and dozens of casualties and hundreds of people were dispersed.

As long as the Ming army escaped and fled there, they didn't care and just disperse them. These Ming army were driven away and ran around and did not dare to return to our team.

After a day, when Li Gufeng entered Puhe Station, more than 20,000 people were left by his side, and most of the baggage and food were left on the way. The soldiers left behind from Puhe Station looked at their army back. They knew in their hearts that this battle would be defeated, and they were uneasy, but no one dared to show it, but there was something strange, although it was a big defeat.

Why do people rarely see blood scars on their bodies? On the contrary, the soldiers who came back were a little dirty except for the dust, and they couldn't see anything else. They just looked extremely tired. After many soldiers entered the city and fortifications of Puhe Station, they didn't care about their queues, and threw down their weapons and found a place to rely on. They were lying there, motionless. People here thought something had happened, so they hurried over to look, but found that the soldiers lying on the ground closed their eyes, snoring, and fell asleep.

Even with such a defeated atmosphere, this scene makes people laugh, or to be more precise, it is laughable and crying. The guard of Puhe Station is the steward of Qianhu, and it is a level gap of thousands of miles away from the general of Liao Town, and it is impossible to speak at all. Just a personal soldier next to the general came to give orders, so he had to listen respectfully. There was nothing to say here, it was nothing more than preparing food and supplies.

There was no such a lot of food and grass in the garrison of about a thousand people, but the personal soldier was unwilling to continue to say more after he finished speaking, and he also found that the thousand households were worried for a while, but found that most of the people were already asleep and didn't know what to wake up. The food and grass supply was not something that was too anxious.

The best place in Puhe Station is the guest house. At this time, it naturally became Li Gufeng's residence. He was defeated, harassed and fled, which made him exhausted. However, at this time, he did not rush to rest. He called his leader in the family and sent out the other people in the room, and asked in a deep voice:

"Where are my slaves in the Li family?"

The boss of the family showed a rather embarrassed look on his face and said hesitantly:

"Report to the master, these bastards are looking for a place to fall asleep. I will whip them up and let them guard on duty."

The general of Liao Town's voice was slightly hoarse, his expression was almost distorted, and he shouted in a low voice:

"A stupid man, call everyone up, just say that in order to prevent the enemy from harassing, all horses must be gathered together to prevent the soldiers from disintegrating, and to prevent someone from escaping in the middle of the night, and still doing something in a hurry. Do it quickly. If someone stops, he will cut his head directly."

The leader of the family general was a little stunned and didn't know what to say. The general of Liao Town wanted to get angry, but he didn't say anything. He threw the token beside him over. This was a necessary token for the order. The family general took the token. Although he was a little ignorant, he was still ready to handle it.

Just as I was about to bring it to the door, I heard the general behind me say slowly:

"I am relieved to put the soldiers from the Li family and the gathered horses together at the south gate, and the soldiers from our Li family are guarding!"

The head of the family general who heard this was shocked and looked back politely, but saw that the general general Li Gufeng had no expression on his face, but waved his hand anxiously, and the leader of the family general went hurriedly.

When he went outside, some of the personal soldiers who had not been sleeping were called by him and started to search for horses in the city. However, things were much easier than he thought. Most of the soldiers slept there like dead pigs, and even if the horses were taken away, they could not even pay attention. Some of them were smart, but they didn't say anything, but followed them to the south gate of Qianhushou.

The Qianhu Institution naturally could not accommodate 20,000 or 30,000 people. The general of Liao Town and his military generals naturally lived in the Qianhu Institution. The rest were driven out, even including the people in the Qianhu Institution. The army was outside for a day and set up half of them in camps and marched. This was the most basic requirement for the army. When the army fought, it would set up camps every time it arrived. The camps were actually the city where the army relied on.

Whether it is reliable and solid is a matter of life or not. The accommodation standard for each thousand household office can actually be placed in an army of more than 5,000 people. Because Puhe Institute is close to Shenyang, it is larger in scale, that is, about 10,000 people, and even the fortifications around the fortress are included.

Now, several times of the troops have been squeezed into it, and these Ming soldiers have no idea of ​​building a city. They just want to sleep there for a while, not to think about anything else. Now that you have cut off my head, I also want to sleep. At this time, I am warned that the soldiers around them were driven out of the Puhe River.

As the sky gradually darkened, the cavalry that was almost constantly harassed during the day did not appear, as if the Ming army was going to repair it here.

A mile away from Puhesou, many soldiers were on standby there. They walked half an hour before they arrived here. Most of them were soldiers carrying bows and arrows. Only a dozen horses wrapped in cotton cloth and carrying large wooden barrels on their backs. These infantrymen in Huazhou were as close to Puhesou as possible.

Except for the lanterns hanging at the intersection and the city, the rest of the Puhe Station was silent. Occasionally, the soldiers of the Puhe Station were guarding the places with lights. The autumn was cold. They were all there to curse the army that drove them out of the city. At the same time, they felt extremely frightened. They didn't know who the enemy was, but they knew from the words of these defeated soldiers that they knew that the other party was extremely powerful.

The guards kept turning their eyes into the darkness, wondering if the enemy was hiding it. However, it was the second half of the moon, and there was not even a moon in the sky. Except where the lights could be seen clearly, nothing could be seen.

Suddenly, a fire lit up not far away, which was not noticeable. It might be that the soldiers who were standing guard came back with a torch, but the fire suddenly spread into a line of fire. Because of the visual difference in the darkness, it seemed that a fire snake was crawling around the winding in front.

When the fire lights up, I saw the soldiers standing behind them with arrows on fire to make fire.

Their other hand were all big bows that were as tall as the height. These big bows could reach more than 300 steps with the wind. There were still many people behind these archers. The people from Puhe Institute were stunned and only then could they react.

Some soldiers were about to beat the gong, but were shot through their throats by cold arrows coming from somewhere. However, the posts where the soldiers in Puhe Station were placed were well arranged, so some people avoided the plot and shouted loudly there:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

But the next reaction, if it weren't for the moment of life and death, it could be described as laughter and crying. No one responded at all. Someone was muttering and cursing below, saying that he was sleeping comfortably. It was really noisy. The Ming soldiers in Puhesou who were shouting suddenly stopped their voices.

A whizzing sound in the air sounded, as if suddenly a strong wind blew up, stirring up the broken window paper. The long arrows shot from the big bow were covered with flames, as if countless meteors were passing through the sky, extremely magnificent, representing the beauty of death. Many Ming soldiers outside the Puhe Station were half-wake in dreams. When they opened their eyes and saw such a scene in the sky, they thought they were still dreaming.

This big bow is a long-range weapon of the Mongolian tribe. It is just that the range is long enough, but the power after flying is insufficient, but it is enough to bring the flames to the city. In autumn and winter, firewood and grass must be accumulated in the north, and the weather is dry at this time, and the firewood and grass will burn as long as it is stained with Mars.

Not long after, the Ming army, who had just rested for less than two hours, all woke up. There was a fire inside and outside the city, with people and horses panic and extremely noisy.

The soldiers in Liao Town were panicked, and finally couldn't hold back and began to disintegrate...
