"What are you making all the noise about? Have you never seen a dead person or what?" Just when the villagers heard the noise and gathered outside the yard chattering, the old man came over with a hoe. The villagers quickly gathered around and asked questions. They
I have seen dead people, and I often see them. From time to time, I can encounter dead bodies in the mountains and ditches. Some are Ming soldiers and some are Tatars, but I have never seen so many dead at once, and they still died in one family in the village.
Faced with various doubts from the villagers, Lao Geda said that he did not know who died. He only said that a few people came to ask for water early in the morning, and then a group of people suddenly came, and then the two parties started to fight.
…
The fighting between the Ming army and the Tatars was a common sight for the common people in the war zone. After listening to what Lao Gao said, he had no doubts. He even helped bury the corpses, but it was a pity that these old soldiers died like this.
, while worrying about not being implicated...
With a large number of people, things were easy to do, so the villagers quickly dug a big hole and buried the eight corpses next to a ditch near the village, all under the watchful eye of Kuang Ren.
The villagers were busy digging holes to bury the bodies, but no one noticed that there was a person lying on the old locust tree behind the old lump house. Although the leaves had already withered, there was a person lying on the thick trunk without looking carefully.
It's really hard to see clearly, not to mention the gloomy weather.
It was not only gloomy but also a bit foggy. From the tree, Kuang Ren watched the villagers go home after burying their bodies. He also saw the birds and smoke from cooking fires in the village. Looking further into the distance, everything was gray and he could only see clearly a hundred meters away.
within.
Lao Gaoda cooked a pot of porridge and distributed it to Chang Yu and others. They hid in the house and did not come out. The injured Ergen was lying in the sheep pen. Shuisheng spread hay in the corner of the sheep pen for him.
, the smell is a bit strong, but it is comfortable and hidden and not easy to be discovered.
While they were eating and drinking, suddenly there was a whistle above their heads. Chang Yu and others quickly put down their bowls and drew their knives in their hands. Wu Zhong shouted in a low voice: "It's so fast!"
Just as Shuisheng was about to go out, he was grabbed by Chang Yu: "Guard your two roots, don't go anywhere." He winked at Wang Zhengnan, and the two of them hid behind the door, and Wuzhong also crouched in the sheep pen.
"My boss, here are the cavalry." Standing in the tree behind the house, Kuang Ren stared due east. He could vaguely see several cavalry running towards him a hundred meters away. This made him feel nervous and he quickly shouted a warning.
Chang Yu and the other people in the room were shocked when they heard this. The cavalry was so difficult to deal with, and why did the cavalry come here? Could it be that after the group escaped, they happened to encounter the Tatars wandering near Xingshan.
The scouts came together?
"How many?" Chang Yu asked.
"Can't see clearly, there are six or seven... Hey, no, there are more, damn, almost twenty more behind me." Kuang Ren on the tree finally saw clearly, there were more than twenty riders rushing towards this direction from the due east direction.
!
Fuck! Chang Yu secretly cursed: "Hurry up and run away from the ball! It'll be too late!" Wuzhong jumped out of the sheepfold: "Can you outrun them on horseback if you run a ball? Do it for them.
"Let's help him around the village. Only twenty riders can't trap us, but once he runs out, we will be helpless."
"Don't you understand what you're talking about?" Chang Yu asked Shuisheng to carry two poles on his back while walking out: "Do you think I'm afraid of his twenty riders? What I'm afraid of is that I'll be entangled and dragged by them. If the prediction goes well, I'll be there later.
There are still large troops, let’s run up the mountain, it’s useless even if they have horses!”
Wuzhong suddenly realized, and while hurriedly walked out, he did not forget to warn Lao Gao: "If you dare to betray us, Lao Peng, I will come back and kill you!"
"Don't worry, the little old man will only say that you ran away, not where you ran to." The old man was very calm. Chang Yu smiled bitterly. When several people rushed out of the door and were about to run to the west mountain, they heard someone behind them.
Kuang Ren suddenly shouted: "The boss is one of our own!"
Uh, Chang Yu and the others stopped in a hurry, Wuzhong breathed a sigh of relief, I wiped...
"No, we are in front of you, and behind you are those who are chasing them!" Kuang Ren's words changed the atmosphere again, and Wuzhong couldn't help but cursed: "You're fucking breathing hard when you talk!"
"Shut up." Chang Yu frowned, raised his head and asked Kuang Ren: "See clearly, are you chasing us?"
Kuang Ren could see clearly now. The first six or seven cavalrymen were only a hundred meters away from him. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, he could tell from their uniforms that they were the Ming army, and dozens of meters behind were the cavalrymen of the Qing army.
, there were more than ten of them, shooting bows and arrows while shouting.
The first few riding horses were running wildly and shooting, but they could not run very far before being chased. From the fact that they were rushing towards the village, we knew what they were thinking. If they fought with each other in the open space, they would most likely end up badly.
If you plan to enter the village to fight with him, you might still have a chance, or you can run to the mountain to the west of the village.
"Kang Ren, stop them! Wuzhong is working!" Chang Yu decisively decided to help. Wuzhong sighed: "Don't get yourself involved!"
"Don't worry." Chang Yu chuckled: "As long as they don't come for me, they won't have any help from behind. They only have a dozen or twenty riders. It's not a problem to take them down. Maybe it won't be enough for Kuang Ren to eat by himself."
It’s there!”
"As expected, our reconnaissance cavalry was surrounded by Tatars and fled here in a panic." Wang Zhengnan said as he climbed up the wall of a family's courtyard and climbed to the roof. When the family saw that they were about to yell, they were stopped by him.
He shouted: "The Tatars are coming, hurry up and get in!"
If it is true as guessed, the first few Ming soldiers came straight to the village. In fact, there is a river to the east of the village, but it is frozen, but the ice surface is very slippery, and the horse almost slips and slows down.
The pursuers from behind arrived in a blink of an eye. When they saw the opponent on the ice, they opened their bows and shot. However, at this moment, several strong winds came and the two Tatar soldiers fell down.
The remaining Tatars were shocked. They didn't expect that the opponent's archery skills were so good. They chased for more than ten miles and then showed their skills. He naturally thought that it was the Ming army in front who was returning arrows, but he didn't expect that it was the man standing on the tree a hundred steps away.
This is what the sharp archer Kuang Ren did.
And all this, the Ming army in front didn't know anything. They just wanted to escape into the village quickly. The shouts of the pursuing soldiers behind made them nervous. They didn't even notice that there were archers in the trees in front.
Not to mention helping them shoot two people dead.
When Kuang Ren shot down the fourth person, the opponent finally felt something was wrong!
But for a moment he didn't know what was wrong, so he followed the Ming army's scout cavalry and rushed into the village.
"Stop running, just do it for them." When a few riders wanted to cross the village and run towards the west mountain, they suddenly heard someone yelling. They felt happy and knew that someone was in the village. They couldn't help but ask:
"How many brothers are here?"
"It doesn't matter how much, it's enough to deal with them." Wang Zhengnan roared, jumped down from the roof, directly cut down a cavalry of pursuers, mounted his horse and ran away, at the same time attracting Chang Yu and Wuzhong everywhere.
Taking action, Kuang Ren on the tree stood down from a high position, with his bow and arrows drawn, one, two...
Upon seeing this, several Ming soldiers immediately reined up their horses and turned back to fight. They immediately caused chaos to the Qing troops who were chasing after them. They never expected that there was an ambush in the village. They hurriedly ran around the village, but were chased and killed by the Ming troops.
However, Kuang Ren was given the advantage. He shot one arrow at a time, and as long as he saw it, the arrows would not miss.
Chang Yu and Wuzhong also seized their horses and pursued the enemy troops relentlessly. The enemy troops included Mongols, Manchus, and Han Chinese, but no matter who they were, they would kill them if they caught up!
Moreover, this Qing army was not good at anything, but they were also brave. However, they were suddenly moved into a trap and panicked. In addition, there was a sniper on top with arrows covering their heads. How could they dare to fight? They just wanted to rush out of the village and escape for their lives!
In the end, they managed to escape a few times. Chang Yu chased them for a long time without catching up, so he turned back to the village and was startled when he saw those Ming soldiers.
