After everyone took cover, they heard the rumble of horse hooves from behind, which was the sound of Qing soldiers chasing after them.
The war has been going on for so long, and the most intense fight was between the small reconnaissance troops sent by each side. The Ming army's Ye Bushou and the Qing army's spies often fought to the death when they met. The methods were cruel and the battles were fierce.
What ordinary people can't imagine...
Therefore, all members of Ye Bu Shu already considered themselves dead when they entered this team, and no one expected to become a prisoner.
Listening to the rumble of the horse's hoofs getting closer and closer, Wang Tou winked at his companions around him. Everyone understood and quietly lit the fire sticks in their hands. When the rumble of the horse's hoofs reached them, they were only more than twenty steps away.
The leader, Wang Tou, immediately put the fire stick in his hand close to the thunderbolt in his hand. Following the sound of the fuse, the thunderbolt, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, flew towards the center of the official road.
The others were not to be outdone, and the guys in their hands also flew out.
"Boom boom boom..."
Four thunderbolts exploded in the middle of the official road, causing a violent explosion that could deafen the ears of the people around them. Until a while after the explosion, the ears of Ye Bushou, who were more than 30 steps away from the explosion point,
There was still a buzzing sound inside. After the continuous explosions, in the thick clouds of gunpowder smoke, bursts of screams were heard one after another, accompanied by heavy falls to the ground, and accompanied by a burst of mournful neighing sounds from war horses.
The leader, Ye Bu Sheng, had already put on the bow string and shot towards the thick fog. Although he could not see clearly what was going on in the thick fog at this time, it did not prevent him from quickly shooting arrows into the thick fog.
.
Accompanied by the sound of arrowheads flying by, groans could be heard from time to time in the thick fog, but soon, several figures leapt out of the thick fog. The sentinels of the Qing army were worthy of being among the elite.
Elites, this blow did not make them lose their fighting spirit, but instead aroused their bestiality. In the blink of an eye, five or six figures jumped out of the thick fog, and then a series of arrows were fired at several Ye Bu Zang.
direction to fly.
Although the accuracy is not very high, it is really rare to be able to determine the attacker's position in such a short period of time.
"boom......"
At the moment when several Qing soldiers jumped out of the thick fog, a dull gunshot sounded not far ahead. The leading Qing soldier covered his chest and struggled for a few steps before falling down. It turned out that
It was Lu Ming who was hiding in the dark who started to show off his power.
Seeing the Qing soldiers running out of the thick fog and finding their position, Wang Tou shouted. *1*1* "Kill!"
Then he rushed towards the Tatar with a long knife, and soon the two sides came into contact. A Qing soldier holding a tiger-headed spear thrust the weapon at him hard. Wangtou raised his left hand and tied it to his arm.
The small round shield blocked the incoming weapon in time, but the heavy tiger-headed spear and the opponent's huge brute force shocked the king's arm and caused severe pain.
"No, the left arm is probably broken." Wang Tou felt a sharp pain in his arm, and then a sense of weakness. He knew that the other party was definitely a tough guy. If he didn't kill him as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to kill him as soon as possible.
After three rounds, you will definitely die in his hands.
Ignoring the severe pain in his arm, he took advantage of the moment before the opponent's strength could be recovered and slashed at him with the long knife in his hand.
A "chi" sound came, and the long knife struck the opponent's shoulder. A shrill scream came from in front of him. Half of the Qing soldier's neck had been cut off, and he fell softly to the ground.
Before Wang Tou could breathe a sigh of relief, as soon as he withdrew his long sword, he felt a cold wind coming from behind his head. He immediately lowered his head without thinking, and a cold wind passed over his head with a cold light, and his helmet also
Got beaten down.
Wang Tou, who had no time to turn around, immediately threw the long knife in his hand back hard and jumped forward while the opponent was dodging. When he fell to the ground, he took out the gun from his waist and rolled on the spot.
Turning around, he saw a cavalry soldier holding a heavy knife high and slashing at him. The sharp blade seemed to be less than a foot away from him. The ferocious face of the cavalry soldier was particularly clear in front of him.
, Wang Tou, who had no time to think about it, immediately pulled the trigger in his hand.
With a crisp gunshot, the soldier's still grinning expression suddenly froze on his face, and the scimitar that was originally slashing at Wang Tou's face hit Wang Tou's ear with a "bang" sound.
There was a muffled sound, and then his body slowly fell down.
Wang Tou, who had saved his life, felt his body was shaken and weak at this moment, as if the thrilling battle just now had exhausted all his strength. However, the battle at this time was over. Lu Ming was hiding in the dark.
Under cover, several Qing soldiers who came out of the dense fog failed to get any favors, and were named one by one by Lu Ming with Mini rifles.
One of the brothers was stabbed in the shoulder by a gun during the night, but the rest were uninjured. It was a great blessing among misfortunes.
This battle sounds long, but in fact it only lasted less than a few minutes. Wang Tou's brief life-and-death struggle just now almost exhausted his strength. At this moment, he was sitting on a piece of rubbish by the roadside.
He took out a water bag from his waist and drank two sips before he said in a rough voice: "Dongzi, go see if there is anyone alive. Everyone else should pack up the Tatars' belongings."
"yes!"
These night warriors were already very skilled at what they did. They searched their bodies, beheaded them, and even peeled off the armor from the Tatars one by one.
Some captured four or five frightened horses of the Qing army and prepared them to carry the loot.
At this moment, the thick fog that had risen due to the thunderous thunder had subsided, and the situation on the official road was gradually revealed. In the center of the official road just now, there were densely packed corpses of more than ten people and horses, and their bodies were lying in various directions.
On the ground, there were a few horses that had not yet been killed and were still whining mournfully from time to time.
Looking at the corpses of the numerous Qing soldiers on the ground, all Ye Bushuang's faces showed a look of rejoicing. It was really a close call just now. If it weren't for the power of the thunder in their hands and the fact that it caught them off guard, they would probably be lying there now.
They are the ones on the ground.
However, high risks must also be accompanied by high rewards. They killed more than 20 spies of the other side. According to the reward and punishment regulations of the Qingzhou Army, it is almost certain that each of them will be promoted to one level. And according to the rules, each of them should have more than 100 spies.
The reward was less than a hundred taels of silver, so their contribution was not small.
At this time, the man named Dongzi suddenly shouted: "Wangtou, we found someone alive."
"Tie him up and interrogate him!"
When Wang Tou heard that he had captured someone alive, he immediately became interested, stood up and walked towards the center of the official road.
This Qing soldier spy who was captured alive had just been knocked unconscious by the Thunderous Thunder. He was very unlucky and found that his hands and feet were tied up as soon as he woke up.
He struggled and looked around. The five people in front of him were all wearing armor made of fine steel. They had swords, spears, and muskets hanging on their bodies. Judging from their demeanor and equipment, they must be the elite Ye Bu of the Ming army that they were chasing just now.
Okay, this is just that the roles of the two parties have been reversed at this time.
Seeing these people looking at him with fierce eyes, the Qing army spy suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He was about to struggle Zhang Jiahe to get up, but suddenly he heard a loud shout and a Ming army's fist hit him hard.
On his lower abdomen, the Qing soldier's eyes protruded, hehehe made a sound, and spit out a stream of acidic water.
A Ming soldier grabbed his money rat braid, and with a little force, the Qing soldier's head was lifted up. The Ming soldier laughed ferociously and said: "Dog Tatar, be honest and tell me everything you know."
Come out, grandpa will give you a good time if he is happy, otherwise grandpa will let you know what it means to live but not to die!"
This Qing soldier only felt that his scalp was being torn off, and he couldn't help but scream in pain. This Ming soldier was the leader of this team named Wang.
He quickly pulled out a dagger, pierced the Qing soldier's thigh, and stirred it vigorously. No one could withstand such severe pain.
A scream that echoed through the sky rang out on the official road. Not long after, the horse-armored soldier who was tortured to the point of dying was fully mobilized.
After getting what they wanted, Ye Bushou simply cut off the Qing soldier's head, hung it next to the saddle, and started running south, leaving only dozens of soldiers behind them.
The carcasses were skinned like white-skinned pigs. It was estimated that they would end up either being eaten by wild dogs or eaten by hungry people who were turning yellow from hunger.
On the official road from Lincheng to Julu, a mighty team was walking forward with their heads held high. Pang Gang and his Qingzhou Army were at the front of the team. More than 16,000 soldiers were walking in the narrow road.
There was a queue for several miles on the official road, and Pang Gang was riding his horse in the middle of the queue, where the supply camp and the artillery camp were located.
Pang Gang, who was riding on the horse, saw several figures who were also wearing mandarin duck war jackets, but their figures looked more graceful. He couldn't help but asked a soldier next to him strangely. The soldier replied: These are the previous ones.
The women who were saved during the war are now working with the army in the supply camp. They only wear the Ming army's unique mandarin duck war robes for convenience.
Looking at the women who were working hard to walk with the army, Pang Gang sighed slightly and ignored them. After a while, a cavalryman rushed over from behind and reported to Pang Gang: "Your Excellency, please explore the front.
The roadmen did not collect reports at night, and traces of Tatars were found ahead. There were probably thousands of Tatars heading towards us, blocking the way of our army!"
"Understood, order the front army to form a battle formation immediately!"
Pang Gang immediately ordered the front troops to continue to form a battle formation to prepare for battle, and at the same time sent someone to inform Lu Xiangsheng behind him that a battle was about to begin... (To be continued...)
