Chapter 287
The Qing army barracks outside Haizhou City wailed, not because of the number of soldiers who died, but because more than half of the horses of the Tazi soldiers were killed by the Ming army in the surprise attack.

The target of this group of Ming troops seems not to be soldiers. After all, the dark night is not good for both sides of the battle. If they can't fight, they can hide.

But war horses won't hide!

God knows who came up with such a bad idea. At the beginning, a large group of cavalry rushed in, and dozens of bandits led by them, holding firearms that kept flaming in their hands. Most of the people they died in battle died from this kind of firearms.

This team of cavalry was followed by a large group of scruffy 'weirds', described by a Tartar soldier with lingering fear:

These eccentrics wear all kinds of clothes and have various weapons. Against the background of the torches in the military camp, each eccentric has a pair of greedy eyes. These eyes even make them, who often go out to play in the autumn wind, look horrified.

Because only they understand that these are a group of real desperadoes.

These eccentrics followed the cavalry in front of them and dashed left and right as if they were in no one's land. It only took a moment to rush into their temporary stables.

In a panic, the Tazi soldiers could not get close to these cavalry armed with strange firearms. It was not until Bao Chengxian organized a large group of shield soldiers to charge forward bravely that the bandit soldiers "retreated" to the south.

It was only after Bao Cheng first entered the stable that he realized that he was not retreating at all, but was retreating in an orderly manner after the autumn wind.

This group of people came to steal horses at all, not only stealing, but also killing!

It's not easy to kill people with black lights, but how easy it is to kill horses!

The war horses stood in a row one by one, stabbed in with a knife and stopped cooking!

According to statistics, it took less than a quarter of an hour for this group of thieves to "flee away" from rushing into the barracks.

And this period of time is exactly the time it takes for the Qing army to organize an effective counterattack!
In just half an hour, they lost more than 3000 horses and had more than 4000 horses stolen...

Most of these dead war horses were stabbed in the stomach or neck. The neck was fine, and it didn't take long for them to lose too much blood and die.

A horse that was stabbed in the stomach often suffered more pain. The Tartar soldiers who came to inquire saw their horses struggling in the stable, screaming and howling.

For these Tazi soldiers who are good at charging on horseback, killing his horse is as uncomfortable as killing his own brother.

Moreover, he still watched his horse die, stabbing it with a knife wounded not only the belly, but also internal organs and other organs. The medical officers accompanying the army were powerless to deal with such penetrating wounds.

Frustrated!
Regardless of whether the horses were stolen or killed, the Tazi soldiers who lost their horses could not contain their emotions for a while.

The first unlucky one was the stable boy who was in charge of feeding the war horses. This stable boy who had suffered an indiscriminate disaster was stabbed across the face by a Tazi soldier who lost control of his emotions.

Even the food and fodder officer was surrounded by a group of soldiers, seeing that things were about to get out of control again.

"Presumptuous! Who gave you the guts! Are you planning to rebel?" Bao Chengxian took a few steps ahead and yelled to stop the atrocities of his soldiers.

"Fuck you Mad, you are a fart, you dog slave, my horse is dead, and I have been with me for four years..."

A Jiala of the Tazi soldiers was so sad that he didn't see Bao Chengxian still following him, and directly contradicted Bao Chengxian, who was the deputy commander.

No wonder, no matter how high your military rank is, you are still a Han Chinese, and no matter how high your status is, you are still a general.

Throughout the ages, surrendered generals have been looked down upon by others, let alone the proud Jurchens.

Bao Chengxian was ridiculed for a while, before he had time to react, Dorgon behind him had already stepped forward from the darkness.

"Lawless, what should I do if I commit crimes against you?" Dorgon didn't scold Jia La directly, but turned to ask the judge behind him.

As the regent, Dorgon naturally wouldn't take a little Jiala seriously.

"His Royal Highness the Regent, according to the law of the Qing Dynasty, he shall be beheaded!" The executioner was a short man with a firm voice.

"Then act according to the law!" Dorgon said coldly.

"Your Highness, please forgive me! I know I'm wrong! Your Highness, please forgive me!" Upon hearing the voice, Jia La felt that something was wrong, but when she followed the voice, her head buzzed as if struck by lightning.

Standing in front of the camp in a bright yellow brocade suit, Dorgon looked extraordinarily revered and tall under the light of the fire.

In the entire Qing Dynasty, apart from His Majesty the emperor who dared to wear yellow clothes, there was only the emperor's father and regent in front of him.

When Jiala heard that his head was going to be beheaded, he was terrified, so he knelt down and kowtowed to confess his guilt.

Many generals behind Jiala also pleaded for mercy, after all, what happened was because Jiala was also too sad.

But Duo ErGun didn't intend to take back his order, but ordered the judge to do it.

"His Royal Highness, it is a taboo for military strategists to kill generals before the battle. Please give this Jiala a chance to make meritorious deeds!" Bao Chengxian bowed and cupped his hands.

Being so rudely contradicted in front of his subordinates, Bao Chengxian said that it was a lie that he was not angry, but Dorgon had given him face in this way, what else could he say?
"Hmph, the law is not merciful!
This king hasn't said anything about you yet, but as the deputy commander, it is an unforgivable crime for you to let three thousand Ming troops break through the camp!

Go get thirty army sticks and reflect on yourself! "

Dorgon turned his head and almost pointed at Bao Chengxian's nose and said angrily.

He was very angry, not because more than a thousand soldiers died, nor because many horses died.

It was because he was once again defeated by An Guohou of Daming.

Not to mention the previous ones, this is the first time he has fought this An Guohou.

Is tonight's surprise attack a warning to him?
"Ah——" Bao Chengxian's shout of being beaten by the army stick sounded in front of the tent, and Dorgon's expression became even more ferocious.

……

"Drive! Drive!" The faint moonlight shines on the earth, and a large group of cavalry gallops in the dark night.

"My lord! It's cool! It's cool to kill!" Kuo Duan rode a horse and rushed beside Liu Hongjian. In the surprise attack just now, he burst out five AKM magazines in one breath, and he was hooked.

"What's the matter, if you play like you do, this gun will be useless by you in a few days, and I don't have a spare for you!" Liu Hongjian said angrily.

Although there are a lot of bullets in the ring, considering that there will always be a day when they run out, the bullets of all AKM households are distributed uniformly, and most soldiers know how to use them sparingly.

But it's good that he is generous, every time he goes on an expedition, he must shoot out all the bullets, and when he is done, he will come to him through the back door with a shy face!
Not long after, the whole team arrived at Tower Mountain Fort.

The Tartars in the fort had already been slaughtered. Feng Dunhou had been waiting anxiously for a long time with more than a thousand musketeers and some allied troops.
