In the midsummer season in Liaodong, several fast horses are running at full speed on the plain east of Shenyang, Liaodong.
The blue sky and white clouds, galloping horses, and the scenery are quite artistic. If they weren't wearing strong armor and looking extremely nervous and dignified, others might think that they were out hunting.
They are Ye Bushou of the Tengxiang left guard of the Ming army, responsible for investigating the location and number of Jiannu's soldiers and horses in the vast mountainous area.
Xiao Qi, the leader in red armor, gradually slowed down and shouted loudly before leaving the team: "Go and report to Zhou Qianhu quickly and bring back the captured muskets."
This time they went into the mountains to scout for enemy troops. They crossed the mountain road between Fushun Pass and Crow Falcon Pass, and found that many packers were constantly carrying grain towards Shenyang.
Liaodong was hit by a disaster last year and the grain harvest was severely poor. The Jiannu did not have enough food, but they still continued to transport the stored grain to the front line.
It means that the enemy is going to attack Shenyang.
To make matters worse, they encountered hundreds of enemies who were not wearing Eight Banners armor, and almost mistakenly thought they were armed soldiers and horses. As a result, the enemies were all armed with cannons.
Fortunately, most of the enemies were not good at hand-to-hand combat. The Ye Bushou team killed more than ten enemies and seized more than a dozen muskets. Now they quickly returned with the captured weapons to report back.
They were chased by the enemy before they came out of the mountain.
If the trip mine in the south explodes, will the north relax?
"Horse whistle! The enemy's scout is chasing us!"
It feels right... I have learned from experience that when there are people around, there will be no sound of birds, but now there is nothing, but it is even weirder than before.
That works!
The main force of the Qin family in Tengxiang is in Shenyang, which is only eighty miles away from Fengji Fort. By then, the news will be sent to the deputy general Sun Yingyuan and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.
Zhang Xiaoqi was happy that the enemy's scouts were only pursued by dozens of people. As long as he assigned some people to his side, there would be more people chasing his brothers.
The two long and two short cuckoo calls mean that half of the people retreat from the village to search, and the other half continue to surround.
"Gu~Gu~"
Ten scouts from Zhenghuang Banner surrounded the abandoned village.
The horse has also exhausted its stamina.
Before Tengxiang Seven Guards implemented the tycoon system, superior soldiers and military officials could communicate with tycoons of thousands or hundreds of households on a daily basis. In the level-one military management system, there was no important channel for communication between subordinates and superiors.
I retreated into a safe place and felt at ease.
That time, Zuo Weiye captured and killed a group of Gaoli surrender troops. More importantly, we found that the Gaoli surrender troops had no firearms and also took away a batch of muskets.
I immediately went back to investigate and suddenly heard a sharp whistle.
Zhang Xiaoqi sneaked to the window to take a look.
"Boom!"
I just raised my head too high and was demolishing the trip mine behind the house!
The original configuration of one person and two horses was reduced to one horse per person when the enemy was chasing them.
You can run away but you can't fight.
I remember there is no abandoned village in the distance...
We intercepted the horses with people a few meters away, and we are 100% sure that the left guard is hiding outside the abandoned village.
"Gu~gu~gu~gu~"
After retreating a little way, I saw a scout staggering slightly.
"More than a dozen miles to the west, you can't see the outpost of Fengji Fort. Let's go back together!"
It was very quiet after that, and even the cuckoo's call came again. After waiting for a few more incense sticks, it seemed that there was no movement inside, and everything fell into dead silence.
Seven cuckoo calls made the scout commander know that his men had not yet surrounded the abandoned village, so the left guard had already fled.
An explosion broke the Jiannu scout's thigh, causing him to hold his leg and scream in agony.
In front of a few sticks of incense.
I drove my horse towards the abandoned village in a low profile. I suspected that I would be discovered by enemy scouts very slowly.
"Drive!"
So even if I am a big banner, I know that if I seize the enemy's firearms, I must send them back to find out where they were made? Or were they made by the enemy themselves?
But it was quiet all the time in front, and I saw no one when I turned around... Zhang Xiaoqi felt extremely uneasy. Could it be that we were chasing ourselves or our comrades who had important news?
Xiong Jinglue must be informed. Eunuch Wei knows that the enemy does not have a group of musketeers. His Majesty must find out whether those muskets were made in Gaoli or somewhere.
......
We worked hard, the horses were already exhausted, and the people were extremely tired, but we had to rush back with all our strength.
There was a sharp horse whistle nearby, and the expressions of the Yezui soldiers suddenly changed, knowing that Jiannu's pursuers were biting us.
Therefore, we also know that the magnates are strictly inspecting military discipline, that Liaodong and other places are strictly inspecting smuggling, and that Your Majesty wants to seek justice for the soldiers who died and make the evildoers who smuggled food and arms trade with the enemy pay a heavy price.<
/p>
It is our mission to bring back the captured muskets!
A Jian slave is facing me.
Niu Lu gave us an order to chase him to the end, so even if we saw the left guard deliberately splitting his troops into two groups, we would allocate 10 people to deal with the left guard who was walking alone.
If the trip mine explodes in the south, the enemy will also be alert that no one is escaping from the north and continue to wait.
My mind changed and I decided to suppress the idea of escape immediately.
Let’s fight for heaven’s sake~
But Daqi named Zhang roared angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! Bring the evidence back!"
The Qin family is really exhausted, but I know that the Jiannu scouts and pursuers are at the edge of the visual range, and there are one person and eight horses. Once discovered, it is very likely to escape.
"Listen to the order and walk slowly!"
That's not a comrade.
Only the sound of Zhang Xiaoqi's fading away was heard.
In accordance with the orders of Emperor Tianqi, Xiong Tingbi and Zhang Quan sent people to draw detailed maps of Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Tieling. As Tengxiang's Ming army gathered its flag at night, of course I was very vague about where to hide for a moment, or even Can cause damage to the enemy as much as possible.
Now we can only rush back to report the news. Fengji Fort is not eighty meters away. It is estimated that if we get closer to more than ten meters away, we will encounter the defenders at night. Then we can ask for help. Qianhu Zhou Yuji is in Fengji Fort area with The Liao army is training together and can send me a message immediately.
Before I finished speaking, I was transferred in the other direction.
The Jiannu of Zhenghuang Banner were all experienced in many battles, and they knew immediately that the left guards were gathering to escape.
Zhang Xiaoqi, who was hiding outside an abandoned house, knew as soon as he heard that the trip mine in the south of the village had exploded.
Although I am only one person, I decided to risk my life with the gang of slave chasing soldiers.
"Zhang Qi!" A night watcher saw Zhang Qi slowing down and knew that he was going to sacrifice himself to distract the pursuers.
"Gugu~"
Your Majesty invented various grenades, landmines, seven-kick mines and trip mines. The Tengxiang Ming Army specially practiced and mastered them, and this time they directly killed an enemy.
The five Jiannu scouts immediately mounted their horses and quietly retreated outside the village.
It doesn't matter what firearms were seized... The key is that the Zuowei Ye group was very capable of fighting, and they even went deep into Saarhu to teach us that those Four Banners soldiers were too angry.
Our hope of going back has increased slightly!
Many of our comrades were injured in the night battle, but that time Zhang Xiaoqi sacrificed himself, still made each of us cry blood in our hearts.
Just now we saw a left guard fleeing alone from a distance, and the foxtail grass trampled by horse hooves showed that fewer of us were escaping in the direction of Fengji Fort.
