Under the dim sky, ten fast horses galloped on a plain with the thunderous sound of horse hooves. Such a big movement would have caused a burst of chickens and dogs to bark at night, but now it was silent, with a sense of death.
The silence...
I don't know how long it took, the sound of horse hooves gradually slowed down. After a while, six fast horses stopped in front of a village. Five knights jumped from the six fast horses. After they dismounted, they led the horses and walked slowly.
Arrive at the entrance of the village.
There is no moon tonight, only a little starlight shines on these five knights. They are seen wearing fine and lightweight fish-scale iron leaf armor, a red mandarin duck war coat, and holding a strong small buckler in their left hand.
Although they all had different looks, the group of people all showed vigilant looks. If the Qing soldiers saw them, they would be able to recognize at a glance that these must be the most elite Ye Bu Shui in the Ming army.
Walking in front was a tall and thin man in his thirties, with tall and thin build and high cheekbones, giving people a gloomy feeling. In his right arm was a handgun about a foot long.
There was a saber hanging last night. It has a total length of 0.96 meters and a total weight of nearly three kilograms. The handle is a combination of cast aluminum and wood. The guard, scabbard, and blade are all chrome-plated. There are rumors that the handle and guard are
With a copper clip blade, this saber has always been a favorite among scouts.
The man walking behind him was a burly man with a sinewy face. He had a sullen face, leading two muzzled horses and walked slowly five or six steps ahead of the leading man.
If you look at the place from a distance, the position where the man is standing can not only quickly support the companions in front of him when he is suddenly attacked, but also prevent him from escaping when he is attacked. Moreover, these few people are walking around at night.
The orderliness in the room shows that they are worthy of being the elite of the Ming army.
They slowly walked to a place fifty steps outside the village entrance. Ye Busuang, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his hand, and Ye Busuou, who was walking behind, all stopped walking.
The man in the middle, Ye Bushou, asked in a low voice: "Fang Laosi. What's going on!"
Fang Laosi, who was walking in the front, did not look back. He just whispered: "Gutou. There is a fire in the house in front!"
The man in the middle is Gu Chen, who served as Ye Bu Shu's corps commander last year when King Pang Gangqin was king, but at this time he was already a foreign commissioner of Ye Bu Shu. After hearing Fang Laosi's reminder, Gu Chen immediately lowered his voice and said
: "Be on alert immediately!"
After listening to Gu Chen's words, the four night warriors behind them all took out the fire guns from their waists. Then they tied their horses to a few small trees on the side of the road and immediately moved forward.
They knew very well that the villages along the way were all deserted. There could be no exception in this village. The only possibility was that there was something wrong here.
When I touched the fire about twenty steps away, Gu Chen, who was walking at the front, had faintly heard the painful sounds coming from inside.
Gu Chen waved his hand, and everyone lowered their bodies. They ran to a low, dried-up ditch and squatted down. Looking from the ditch, they saw a fire lit in front of the house. There were several people beside the fire.
The Qing soldiers wore the same fiery red armor as the Ming army. There were no other colors around the armor. Gu Chen and others knew at a glance that they were the Tatars' red flag troops.
Several Qing soldiers responsible for keeping watch were milling around casually around the fire. It is estimated that this kind of weather and location is the safest in their opinion. Those cowardly Han people have long since disappeared, even if there are people,
No one would dare to get close to these brave Qing warriors.
There were two or three Qing soldiers sitting next to the fire. They had taken off their helmets at this time, revealing their bare heads and slender money rat tails behind them. Farther away from the fire, there were also tied up soldiers.
There were more than a dozen war horses, and they were quietly eating horse feed and drinking salt water.
Only in the silence came bursts of shrill screams from the dilapidated house near the fire. Upon hearing this, Gu Chen and others knew that it must be the Tatars who were harming the captured woman again.
Fang Laosi had a rather irritable temper, and he immediately looked at Gu Chen with his eyes. His meaning was very clear, that is, he was asking him for instructions on whether to go over and kill those Qing soldiers.
Gu Chen looked at the seven or eight Qing soldiers not far away, nodded slowly, stretched out two fingers and made a throwing gesture. Everyone understood, and two people immediately came out from behind, and slowly helped
They followed the shadow and moved forward. When they touched the ruins, they immediately hid behind the ruins.
At this time, they were still about 17 or 18 steps away from the Qing soldiers. The two Ye Buzui slowly each took out two black cylindrical things from the cloth bags behind them. It turned out that these were two
A thunderbolt shook the sky. Then he took out the fire seal. One night, he slowly unscrewed the lid of the fire seal and blew it a few times. Then the originally dim fire seal slowly lit up, and the two looked at each other.
They glanced at each other and nodded, and at the same time put the lead of Zhentian Leixia on the fire fold, and then a burst of white smoke accompanied by a weak sound of "chichi" came out.
The two of them did not dare to neglect, and quickly leaned out from the ruins, throwing the thunder in their hands towards the fire.
Two sky-shaking thunderbolts drew a beautiful arc in the dark night and landed next to the Qing soldiers. They made two clear "click" sounds. The Qing soldiers turned around and saw two black things.
It was rolling under its feet, emitting white smoke and making a "chichi" sound.
The Qing soldiers who were warming themselves by the fire were alert. Although they didn't know what they were when they saw these two black things, these murderous executioners had beast-like blood in their blood.
Intuitively, they immediately jumped up like a conditioned reflex.
"careful!"
A Qing soldier screamed and issued a warning in Manchu. Following this cry with a hint of panic, two huge explosions rang out one after another. Dozens of small iron beads placed in the thunderbolt shook the sky.
Driven by huge kinetic energy, it instantly splashed around at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.
Although the Qing soldiers beside the fire all wore thick cotton armor, and some even wore three layers of heavy armor, their fragile bodies were still pierced by explosives flying everywhere.
When a huge explosion was accompanied by two flashes of light, two stumbling figures stumbled out of the confused smoke.
At this time, the two Ye Bushou who were hiding behind the ruins had already rushed out. Their speed was very fast, and the sabers in their hands stabbed the two Qing soldiers who had not yet woken up from the explosion.
The Qing soldiers fell down with a slight "thump" sound...
