A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 7 White Armor
Han Chao looked carefully: "There is a sound of cannons and a burst of beacon smoke. It seems that there are less than 20 Tartars, and there should be no more than [-]!"

He shouted to Han Zhong: "Second brother, set off the cannons, light the cigarettes, and hang the yellow flag!"

Soon, there was a loud bang from Jingbiandun's trumpet, and then a plume of thick smoke rose straight into the sky. Han Chao rang the beating bang even harder, sending a message to the people in Dunbian.One passed to another, and soon, the beacon smoke from Dongjiazhuang Fort ten miles south of Jingbiandun also came out, and then the Chafangdun cannon sounded, and it spread to Shunxiang Fort farther away.

The shrill sound of clappers kept ringing all over the place, and the soldiers and civilians who were away for a while hurriedly restrained their people and animals, and fled desperately back to the nearest castle, Yandun.Zhong Dayong, Ma Ming, Qi Tianliang, and a few women who were working near Jingbiandun rushed back to Jingbiandun with their burden of driving cattle.

Wang Dou and Han Chao brothers got off the pier from the ladder, and when they came to the hanging building at the wall, Jia Chang Zhong Dayong and others were still in shock, but everyone was glad that they escaped quickly.After a while, Zhong Dayong called out: "The people and animals in the pier are all there. Who else hasn't come back?"

After a while, Dunjun Ma Ming cried out in surprise: "My auntie hasn't come back yet."

Everyone hurriedly counted the number of people, but there was no sign of Ma Ming's wife, Shi Shi.

Ma Ming was crying, and his voice was a little choked up: "When I was plowing the field this afternoon, my mother-in-law said she was going back to Dongjiazhuang to see the children, so she was not with me. She...she...she should still be on the way now, no Have you met a Tartar?"

Everyone in the hanging tower looked ugly, suddenly Qi Tianliang called out: "Look, the Tartars are coming!"

Everyone hurriedly looked, and they saw several strands of smoke and dust in the northwest direction, which were getting bigger and bigger, and then there were bursts of howling and strange screams like wild beasts. In the smoke and dust, several golden cavalrymen appeared in front of everyone's eyes. On the four sides in front of it, there are more than a dozen Ming people running around in panic.

These people were men and women, old and young, and everyone cried out in panic, with a look of despair on their faces.Those post-golden cavalrymen seemed to be playing a cat-and-mouse game, they were not in a hurry, they just galloped back and forth, driving these men and women to Jingbiandun.

Suddenly Ma Ming cried out: "It's Erya, my God, my God, how did she meet Tartar..."

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, the first woman who fled before the common people was Ma Ming's wife, Shi Shi, who was it?At this time, her hair bun was scattered, and her shoes were missing, and she ran straight to Tun, crying, and a desolate voice came faintly: "Master, please help me..."

Ma Ming shouted desperately: "Erya, Erya!"

He yelled to Zhong Dayong: "Xiao Tou, open the door quickly and let Erya come in, it won't be too late!"

Zhong Dayong said angrily: "What are you talking about? What if the Tartars took advantage of the situation and rushed in? Our wives are all here."

Ma Ming knelt down and begged Zhong Dayong desperately, but Zhong Dayong just kept his face livid and silent, and everyone else in the pier was also silent.

The few Hou Jin soldiers rushed forward, swaggering around Jingbian, loudly pointing and making fun of the pier, while beating the people around them with whips. A piece of flesh and blood, especially Shi Shi was beaten bloody.

The people outside the pier were crying in desolation and despair, especially the cries of Shi Shi, which made people feel pain, and everyone inside the pier looked ugly.

Wang Dou clenched his fists. He calmed down and carefully observed those rear golden cavalrymen.

There were five Jin soldiers outside, one man and two horses, two of them were wearing cotton armor with copper nails nailed on them, a lightning rod was raised high on the leather helmet, and they were holding refined iron sickles in their hands.There are two more people with bright and dark armor, one of them has a black tassel on his helmet tube, a two-foot-square flag on his back, and a tiger gun in his hand.The most attractive one is a post-golden knight in silver light armor, with a long tail and red tassels on the iron helmet, a colored flag sticking obliquely on the back, even the horse is covered with cotton armor, holding a sword in his hand Iron long-handled pick knife.

Without exception, these five people are all short and strong, skilled in equestrian skills, especially the silver armored knight, whose equestrian skills are unimaginable. He yelled something in an incomprehensible Hu language, and his arrogance was very arrogant.

Han Chao's quiet voice came: "There are five Tartar soldiers, ten horses, two infantry armor, one vest, one leader, and one white armor. They are all hard stubble, and it is not a big deal to win."

After hearing his words, everyone in Dunnei turned pale, and Wang Dou's eyes flashed.

In the army of Hou Jin, soldiers in the army are mainly divided into three grades, guards, infantry, and vests.Ordinary Jurchen men, starting from the age of ten, take the exam every three years. If they meet the standard, they will be guards, then infantry, and then vests.On the vest is the Shiku, and the winners in the vest are selected, and the Han people call it the leader.The Pashiku is the Daizi, also known as the Fende Pashiku, which is the Xiaoqi School of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Niulu Zhangjing was assigned to the Shiku, who was the leader of the three hundred soldiers in Houjin Yiniulu.

Among the post-Jin vest soldiers, the more outstanding ones were selected as the Red Baba Yala soldiers and the White Baba Yala soldiers. Yala and a dozen Baibai Yala soldiers.

Although there are only five golden soldiers in front of and behind them, everyone is an elite, especially the white-faced soldier, who is the elite of the elite.Only Wang Dou and the three Han and Chao brothers are capable of fighting in Dunnei, and the rest are all women and weak, so the chances of winning are really slim.With the people in Dunnei right now, being able to shut up and protect themselves is fine, and it is only a dead end to fight reluctantly.

Ma Ming also knew that it was impossible for his wife to be rescued, so he wept and sobbed in despair.

Suddenly there were several shrill screams, and everyone in the pier hurriedly looked out, but it was the few golden soldiers leaping back and forth to hack and kill the people, thinking that these golden soldiers had played enough and were finally going to strike up.

Ma Ming jumped up all of a sudden, and shouted outside the pier: "Erya, run, run!"

Shishi desperately fled towards the pier gate, suddenly she let out a scream, brought out a cloud of blood, and fell heavily to the ground, a horse appeared behind her, but it was the knight in gold and silver armor, with a smug grin The face is particularly dazzling.

Ma Ming cried loudly and slammed his fists against the wall in front of him until his flesh was bloody and he still didn't know it.

Everyone in Dunnei was desolate, Qi Tianliang silently patted Ma Ming on the shoulder, but he didn't know what to say, he only let out a long sigh.

The rear gold and silver armored cavalryman rushed towards the pier gate screaming and howling, then turned his horse back triumphantly, and went back and forth several times.

Han Zhong said bitterly: "Brother, the Tartars are too rampant, are you sure to shoot him with an arrow?"

Han Chao shook his head: "The Tartar soldiers always move sixty paces away, so the chances of winning are not great!"

Without saying a word, Wang Dou opened the big bow in his hand, slowly pulled up the bow string, and quietly watched the white armored cavalry charging again.The large Kaiyuan bow in his hand is a hard bow handed down from his ancestors. His ancestor Wang Hu once used this bow to conquer the north and south, and the bow strength was as strong as two stones.

Wang Dou waited calmly, with his thumb lightly pressing on his middle finger, and above the thumb, there was a copper wrench.Seeing Wang Dou's appearance, everyone in the hanging tower couldn't help but look at him, this king... what is this Wang Dou going to do?Even the Yebushou Han and Chao brothers in Dunnei were not sure about shooting the Tartar, but Wang Dou was so sure?
Wang Dou's heart was still in the ancient well, waiting for the white-armored cavalry to charge, it was getting closer, getting closer, one hundred steps, ninety steps, eighty steps, seventy steps, it was now!
Wang Dou shouted loudly, his bow was like a full moon, and with a sound of "嗖!", the golden and white armored cavalry only had time to avoid the vital point, and was shot down by Wang Dou's arrow.

"it is good!"

Everyone on the hanging tower involuntarily shouted hello, not to mention Zhong Dayong and others, even the brothers Han Chao and Han Zhong looked at Wang Dou in shock, this Wang Dou... has such archery skills.

That Hou Jinbaijia was hit by an arrow on his right chest near his shoulder. The arrow was so powerful that he was shot directly from his horse and fell heavily to the ground.That Hou Jinbaijia was thrown by this arrow and half of his souls and seven souls were gone. The main reason was the feeling of becoming angry from embarrassment. He traveled all over Daming, but he did not expect to capsize under this small fire pier. It is not uncommon to come here to the Southern Dynasty, I am really careless.

He was also brave, gritted his teeth and got up, stretched out his hand and broke the arrow shaft. At this time, the remaining Jin soldiers also saw the situation here, and they hurriedly rode their horses to surround him without caring about killing the surrounding Ming people , and helped the back golden white armor to a relatively safe position behind.

A few of them chattered in Hu language for a while, and the Pashiku with the flag on his back stayed behind to take care and command, and the other three rushed forward with a roar, and shot a few willow leaves around the pier gate. Heavy arrows, Wang Dou and Han Chao and Han Zhong shot on the hanging tower, you came and I went back and forth for a while, the few Hou Jin soldiers saw that they couldn't get a bargain, they all changed their horses with a whistling sound, the smoke and dust billowed, and soon He left without a trace, leaving only a few corpses of Ming people on the ground.

At this time, everyone in Dunnei looked at Wang Dou with different eyes. Yang Tong touched his mouth where the front teeth were missing, and then looked at Wang Dou with a look full of fear. Han Zhong opened his mouth and rushed to Wang Dou. After giving a thumbs up, Han Chao also nodded in a friendly way to Wang Dou.

Zhong Dayong let out a dry laugh, and said, "I never thought Brother Wang would be so skilled. Today you bravely defeated the morale of the Tartars, and I will ask the superior for your credit!"

Wang Dou silently looked at the corpses of the people outside the pier, blood was everywhere on the ground, especially the dead body of Shi Shi in the distance, it was so glaring.

He looked into the distance, and there was no movement on the piers and forts. It seemed that no Ming army dared to come out to intercept and kill this group of Jin soldiers.

……

On the ground outside the pier, Ma Ming hugged his wife's body and wept bitterly. Everyone was watching silently, and several women comforted him softly from time to time.

Wang Dou felt sad, Shi Shi was a good woman, she was always friendly to him in Dunnei, she was fine yesterday, but today she became a cold corpse, in this world, human life is as cheap as grass.At this time, he was particularly concerned about Xie Xiuniang and his mother who were pregnant in Xin Zhuang. They were in the Zhuang... they should be fine, right?

At this time, the few surviving people around the pier timidly surrounded them. Several of them threw themselves on the ground and cried bitterly on several corpses. Among them was an old man in his fifties with a miserable expression on his face. He led a few people to thank Zhong Dayong: "Thank you, Jun Ye, for saving your life. This old man will never forget his kindness!"

Wang Dou saw that the clothes of these common people were all in rags, their faces were disheveled, and their faces were filled with the panic of the survivors after the catastrophe, but judging from their accents, they didn't seem to be locals of Baoan.

Zhong Dayong recognized it all at once. He stretched out his fat belly and asked the old man, "Listen to the accent, old man, you don't seem to be from the local area. Where did you come from?"

The old man wept and said: "We came from Huailai. Our hometown suffered a disaster and was ransacked by Tartars. We really couldn't survive. We had to go to Weizhou to seek refuge with our relatives and friends. We didn't expect to meet Tartars again today." Zibing, fortunately there was a military master to save us, otherwise we would all die here today!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed a few more times.

Zhong Dayong let out a casual "hmm", he stroked his sparse beard, he didn't know what he was thinking, his thin eyes just turned on the old man and the few surviving civilians, a vicious light flashed even more However, Yang Tong who was next to him looked at his expression, and also turned around on the old man.

Sensing the strangeness of Zhong Dayong and others, the old man and several common people became uneasy.
