Chapter 65

In the eastern suburbs of Beijing, on the north bank of the Empress Dowager Xiao River, sixteen Qing army vests on the official road were ambushed by Zhang Cheng's right sentry leader.

There was a burst of gunfire, a salvo of bows and arrows, and everyone turned their backs on their backs, and there were not many left.

More than twenty three-eyed blunderbusses, the bombardment at such a close range, and more than thirty bows and rows of arrows at the salvo, not to mention that there are only sixteen cavalry, even if it is doubled, it is still the same. Not much left.

A Qing army vest was covered in blood, and blood was gushing out of his chest, but he swung the mace in his hand and rushed into the woods howling loudly.

Bao Jiqiang, the officer of Team B, had just stood up when he saw him rushing crookedly. There was no sound.

When Tong Shoushan's three-eyed blunderbuss was fired, the Qing army's assigned Shiku slammed into the belly of the horse and urged the horse to move forward, dodging the blunderbuss, bow and arrow.

Zhuangda of the Qing army rolled over on the ground after falling off his horse. As soon as he got up, he saw an arrow flying towards him and hit his left shoulder. This arrow aroused his madness, and he shouted: "Warriors, kill Ming!" dog……"

Swinging the hatchet in his hand, he rushed up to Tong Shoushan. At this time, an arrow flew from the west of the official road and hit him in the back. He ignored Tong Shoushan with the hatchet.

With a sound of "boom", Tong Shoushan swung the three-eyed blunderbuss, knocked away the hatchet in his hand, raised his foot and kicked Qingjun Zhuangda's chest, he fell off the horse, and was hit by two arrows. A surge of strength supported him, but this kick only made him take a step back, and he did not fall down.

A Ming soldier from the side rushed over, smashed the three-eyed gun in his hand on the strong knee, he suddenly knelt on the ground, his eyes widened, opened his mouth and shouted, and with the last bit of strength, he took the gun in his hand. The hatchet was thrown towards Tong Shoushan.

Tong Shoushan stepped forward to the left, the hatchet was nailed to a tree beside him, the handle of the ax was still shaking.

All the soldiers of the Ming army swarmed up, besieging the vest cavalry of the Qing army who still had strength and were not completely dead. A tragic ambush ended in a complete victory for the Ming army.

Tong Shoushan looked at the corpses of the Qing army strewn about on the official road, and shouted loudly: "Quick, chop off your head, gather your horses, and prepare to retreat."

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the southwest direction, and Du Cheng, a captain of Division A and Division C, galloped on a big black horse. On the leg of Deba Shiku, he dragged Deba Shiku backwards and galloped from the direction of the hill.

Before reaching Tong Shoushan, he shouted loudly: "Tong Tou, let's catch a Tartar head, there are hundreds of Tartars behind, northeast!"

While he was speaking, the other nine brothers from his class A were also rushing over behind him.

"Quick, don't cut off the head that hasn't been chopped off. Get on the horse and go back to the camp. Quick!"

He yelled and rushed into the forest. A group of sergeants rushed back into the forest with their pigtails, like fat mice.

A sergeant guarding the horses in the forest over there saw that the ambush on the official road had won a complete victory, and was driving the horses towards this side. , Throw it into the pocket next to the saddle, and hit the horse and gallop.

Three sergeants had no time to chop off the head of the Qing army, but they had no choice but to chop it off. They grabbed one foot of the Qing army's corpse and dragged it along the ground.

They took the horses, hurriedly took out the hemp ropes, tied the corpses of the Qing army on the horses indiscriminately, and ran away with them, following the team.

Du Cheng, a leader of Team A and C, didn't have time to change to his own horse, so he rode on the stolen Qing army's Bashku horse. He dragged the Qing soldier who had been dragged on the ground for a long time and staggered to pieces, and pulled up the Shiku.

Put it horizontally on the horse's back, quickly wrap the hemp rope around his body a few times, and tie him like a long rice dumpling, and then throw it on the back of his own war horse. He only held the other end of the hemp rope to prevent him from falling off the horse's back when he was galloped by the horse.

…………

It turned out that since Lu Xiangsheng led Xuanda and Qinwang soldiers from the three towns of Shanxi to the southeastern suburbs of Beijing to garrison, they changed from the previous state of the Beijing camp that they turned around and ran when they saw Qing army sentry cavalry.

When the strength of the two sides was appropriate, they dared to fight and fight. The cavalry that the Qing army went out to spy and harass began to suffer casualties, and the number continued to rise.

Therefore, the Qing army also changed its strategy. They changed to a brigade to send out sentries and harass the Ming army's garrison area.

This time, there is even a Niu Luzhang Jing leading the team out, so there will be a team led by Pa Shiku to scout in front. This Niu Luzhang Jing originally thought that even if he met the Ming cavalry, the 16 people in front would The cavalry team will stick to the sentry cavalry of the Ming army, just as he led the brigade to flank up behind.

But he never imagined that one of his platoon Shiku, together with [-] Qing warriors, would be ambushed by more than [-] elite cavalry of the Ming army, and all of them would be wiped out in an instant.

After a distance, he heard the roar of guns and guns on the official road in front of him, and hurriedly urged his Qing warriors to gallop, intending to catch up with and rescue the small group of Qing troops, and also wanted to kill the ambushed Ming army. The cavalry team is also wiped out, so that they can go back and ask for credit in front of the banner owner Baylor.

On the official road, the headless corpses of the Qing army scattered all over the place shocked Niu Luzhangjing. The sixteen warriors of the Qing Dynasty were ambushed and wiped out by Ming Gouzi, whom he once looked down upon, in a short time.

He was extremely angry and shouted: "Catch up with those smart dogs and avenge our Qing warriors."

…………

Tong Shoushan and the others crossed the Liangshui River to send out the sentry. They were all one man and two horses. At this moment, more than 100 war horses were galloping along the official road.

About a mile behind them, a large cloud of smoke and dust was rolling forward, chasing them like a man-eating beast.

Tong Shou Shance immediately shouted to the two guards and messengers beside him: "You two go find the Zuo Commander and tell him to retreat quickly. I will lead the Tartars around and go quickly."

After he gave the two orders, he greeted the two team officers and began to slow down the galloping speed of the horse. This would not only buy some time for the two incoming soldiers, but also slow down the horse under his crotch.

After the speed of the horse slowed down, Tong Shoushan and the two team officers shouted: "Change horses, change horses quickly."

For a moment, the horses staggered and the figures flickered. The knights took advantage of the moment when the horses slowed down and switched to the horses that had just run away, so that the horses that carried them just now could recover their legs.

Seeing Tong Shoushan and his horses slow down, the chasing Qing army also began to slow down. The ones in front of them even took out their bows and arrows, but when they chased to a distance of more than 200 steps, they saw the Ming army cavalry in front began to speed up again. Benz.

Niu Luzhang Jing hurriedly yelled loudly, urged the horses again, and accelerated the pursuit. Although it was a bit hasty, most of the Qing cavalry who had experienced many battles still completed the change of horses in the instant just now.

It’s just that the acceleration of the war horse is not like that of an automatic transmission car. You can increase the speed by stepping on the accelerator hard. The acceleration of this war horse is like a car with manual transmission. Improving instantly.

The cavalry of the Qing army was about one mile away from the Ming army, and they had just chased to a distance of [-] paces. Unexpectedly, the Ming army suddenly accelerated and galloped away. Although they tried their best to push their horses, they only kept at [-] paces. With a distance of left and right, it was still impossible to catch up with the cavalry of the Ming army in front.
