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

Chapter 99 Unyielding
Seeing that Xie Yike was crying, the rest of the people were also sad, Huang Guoxiang blushed, and comforted him: "Thank you, don't be sad, brothers have expected this day as early as the day they joined the army."

He seemed to be remembering his own thoughts, and said harshly: "At least they died on the battlefield, it was worth it!"

According to the previous battle, Huang Guoxiang was going to die together with the Qing soldier Boda, but after being stabbed by Xie Yike, the Boda's tiger spear stabbed him in the left arm, bleeding profusely, he just roughly bandaged it.

He walked up to the Zhuanda and stared at him viciously. Although the leader of the Qing soldiers was wounded and captured, he still roared loudly. , swearing loudly in nonsense.

"Tartar!"

Huang Guoxiang yelled, and punched him on the mouth hard, blood flowed from the mouth and nose of the boss, staring at Huang Guoxiang, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he cursed louder.

Wen Daxing seemed to be familiar with the scene in front of him, and the corpses all over the floor could not arouse his emotion. He went to look at the two Yebushou who were shot in the chest by Qing soldiers, shook his head, and said, "It's hopeless, grandma." Yes, the arrows of the Tartars are really accurate!"

Looking again at the two Yebushu who were thrown by the Qing soldiers with their knives, he also sighed and shook his head.

He said to Xie Yike: "Thank you, let's go, if there are tartars coming again, we won't be able to bear it anymore."

Xie Yike withdrew his tears and said, "Clean it up, tie the bodies of the dead brothers to the horse, and bring them into the castle. Your lord will bury them properly."

Immediately, several people worked together, swept the battlefield casually, chopped off the heads of several Qing soldiers, knocked out the leader of the captured Qing soldiers and tied them to a horse, and took care of several dead Qing soldiers' war horses.The bodies of the six dead Yebushou were all tied to the horse's back, and the Yebushou who had been slashed on the shoulder was also riding behind the uninjured Yebushou.

Several people got on the horses, and only rode the horses for a few steps. Suddenly, the sound of the bowstring being tensed came from the right side.

"Swoosh!" A few arrows struck.

Xie Yike let out a muffled groan, only to feel severe pain in his shoulder and back, a heavy arrow had pierced his leather armor and pierced deeply into his flesh.

Xie Yike's whole body became weak for a while, he was injured by an arrow,

He shouted loudly: "It's Tartar, go into the mountain, go into the mountain quickly."

He leaned on the horse, tightly grasping the saddle bridge, just urged the horse to move forward, and the rest of the horses galloped likewise.

Only the sound of shouting and cursing sounded, and more than ten Qing soldiers sentry cavalry rushed from the hillside on the right side of the rear, and they shouted loudly while chasing.

"Whoosh!" There was a sound, and the sound of arrows piercing through the air sounded behind him.

Suddenly I heard Huang Guoxiang's cry, but it was Huang Guoxiang's horse behind Xie Yike who was shot and wounded by the Qing army. The horse neighed, and Huang Guoxiang was thrown to the ground at once, and he was already injured.

Xie Yike called out: "Brother Huang, get on the other horse quickly."

Huang Guoxiang tried his best to get up, but he heard the sound of hooves getting closer, and several Qing soldiers chased after him.

Huang Guoxiang grabbed the reins of another horse, and was about to jump onto the horse's back, when suddenly, a rope flew towards Huang Guoxiang's head, and the noose was tightened immediately, and Huang Guoxiang fell to the ground again.

Huang Guoxiang struggled on the ground, his eyes were red, and he shouted at Xie Yike: "Kill me!"

Xie Yike took out the flying axe. With the current distance, he was sure to kill Huang Guoxiang, but how could he do it?

During this hesitation, Huang Guoxiang was pulled away, and Xie Yike missed the opportunity.

There was a sound of bowstrings, and several sharp arrows from Qing soldiers flew past Xie Yike's ears.

Wen Daxing in front shouted, "Thank you, let's go!"

With tears in his eyes, Xie Yike took one last look at Huang Guoxiang, only to see Huang Guoxiang smiled at him and then drowned in the dust.Xie Yike turned his head, but desperately clamped the spurs. The horse suffered from pain and ran away with all his strength.

Soon, a group of people entered the mountain and disappeared in the distance.

……

More than ten Qing soldiers came to Huang Guoxiang's body. Several Qing soldiers got off their horses, pulled Huang Guoxiang up, and pushed him in front of a small leader.

All the Qing soldiers surrounded him, pointing at Huang Guoxiang and laughing loudly in Manchurian.

Huang Guoxiang glared at them, just now he rolled to the ground and was pulled by the rope, his face had already been ground with a few bloodstains.

Seeing Huang Guoxiang's fearless and unyielding appearance, several Qing soldiers were furious, and several horse whips came down, covering their heads and faces, and immediately blood flowed from Huang Guoxiang's body and face.

Huang Guoxiang struggled desperately, only cursing incessantly.

The leader of the Qing soldier had black tassels on his helmet, was wearing a bright helmet, and had a square flag on his back. He seemed to be a Pashiku. He looked at the situation on the flat ground there with emotion. It seemed that there was a fierce battle there just now. Several people were beheaded, and some war horses and equipment were lost. It seems that one person was captured.

Who were those Ming soldiers just now, so brave?
In the memory of this Shiku, very few people in the Ming army dare to fight with them in the field, even if the Ming army in each fort does not receive them at night, it is the same.He pondered for a while, and stopped several subordinates from beating Huang Guoxiang. He confessed a few words in Manchurian, and escorted Huang Guoxiang back to the camp for interrogation.

Soon, Huang Guoxiang was tied up by five flowers, tied to a war horse, and escorted to the east.

The group of them went eastward and crossed the Yanghe River from Shimen Bay.Due to the drought, the Yanghe River has dried up a lot, and it can be crossed by riding a horse.

After they entered the border of Huailaiwei, they stopped near a place called Taiping Fort not far from Tumu Fort, and entered a large camp of Qing soldiers.

After being tortured all the way, Huang Guoxiang's whole body was covered with scars, and the blood on his body was completely dried out, but his eyes were brighter and his expression was calmer. He had already put his own life and death aside.

Huang Guoxiang was sent into a large tent in the camp. It can be seen that the banners in the camp are mostly white with red borders. The armor of the Tartar soldiers in this tent is also white with red borders. Army with white flags.

At this time, sitting at the head of the big tent was a general of the Qing army in his forties, dressed in fine white armor inlaid with red, with a flat face, a flat nose, several scars on his face, and a rather ugly and vicious appearance. A slender money rattail pigtail trails behind her head.

Huang Guoxiang looked at the large banner in front of the big tent, and there was no python on the banner. Then he looked at the armor of the Tartar general. He must be the Tartar general known as Jialazhangjing, and the Han people called him Canling.Huang Guoxiang knew that the Tartar soldiers were divided into eight banners, and each banner was divided into five ginseng leaders, and each ginseng leader was under the jurisdiction of the assistant leader, that is, the number of Niulu Zhangjing.

On the left and right sides of Jialazhangjing, several generals of the Qing army dressed as Niuluzhangjing were sitting at this time, and there was a Tongshi who was over forty years old and dressed as a Han, standing beside them tremblingly.

The Pashiku who captured Huang Guoxiang reported it to Najialazhangjing in Manchurian, and then handed in the information found in Huang Guoxiang's arms.After Tongshi read it, he was at a loss. He understood the individual words on it, but he didn't know what they meant when they were linked together.

He spoke the meaning of the text in Manchurian, and the generals of the Qing soldiers in the tent were also confused. This document seemed to have nothing to do with military intelligence.

Najia Lazhangjing asked Tongshi, "What do you mean?"

That Tongshi was also puzzled, and said: "This may be a secret language, used to convey information, and the villain does not understand."

Najia Lazhangjing said to Tong Shi: "Let that Han dog kneel down and speak the secret language in the information."

The officer took the order and told Huang Guoxiang.

Huang Guoxiang glared at Tong Shi angrily for a while, then stared at Jia Lazhangjing, and said, "You son of a bitch, I will kneel to heaven and earth, and kneel to my parents. If you want me to kneel to you, that is impossible."

Najia Lazhangjing looked at Huang Guoxiang, frowned and asked Tongshi, "What is that Han dog talking about?"

Tong Shi tremblingly said Huang Guoxiang's words, and all the Qing soldiers in the tent were furious, shouting and cursing together, and several Niu Luzhang Jing pulled out their whips, and beat Huang Guoxiang severely.

Huang Guoxiang was dripping with blood all over his body, but he was unyielding. He stood upright, glared at everyone angrily, and kept cursing in his mouth.

Najia Lazhangjing saw Huang Guoxiang staring at him with eyes that seemed to spew fire, and became even more angry, shouting left and right, and gouged out Huang Guoxiang's eyes.

Huang Guoxiang screamed loudly, he raised his head as hard as he could, and stared in the direction of Jia Lazhangjing with two blood holes, his voice was shrill: "Tartar, Tartar, I wish I could eat his flesh alive!"

Seeing him like this, the Qing soldiers in the tent felt chills in their hearts, and Najia Lazhangjing was furious, and ordered Huang Guoxiang to be tied to the pillar outside the tent.

After Huang Guoxiang was tied to a pillar, he continued to curse.

In the middle of the night, the officer quietly walked up to Huang Guoxiang, saw his miserable state, and sighed in a low voice: "Brother, why are you doing this?"

Huang Guoxiang said calmly: "I don't regret it, my lord will avenge me!"

He muttered to himself: “I don’t regret…”

He suddenly raised his voice again: "Kill the slave, kill the slave!"

Afterwards, Huang Guoxiang fell silent, and after an unknown period of time, he began to sing in a low voice, and he murmured inaudibly: "Axiu, I will come to see you soon."

The sensible tears flowed out suddenly, and walked away quietly.

Najia Lazhangjing couldn't sleep well all night, and he always dreamed of something that frightened him. He heard Huang Guoxiang's singing outside, so he called Tongshi and asked, "What is that Han dog singing?"

Natong replied tremblingly, "It's a poem written by Wu Mu of the former Song Dynasty."

Najia Lazhangjing shouted loudly: "Yue Fei?"

He jumped up and gritted his teeth. This Yue Fei was once the nightmare of the Jurchens, and it was also the nightmare of those Manchurians who misidentified their ancestors.Because of the fear of that power, all foreign races, from the Jurchens to the Manchurians, tried their best to vilify Yue Fei.During the Anti-Japanese War in later generations, the Japanese army also organized a group of traitors and literati in the occupied areas to slander and attack Yue Fei, while trying their best to beautify Qin Hui.

Najia Lazhangjing was furious. Early the next morning, in front of all the troops, he disemboweled and dug out the heart of the dying Huang Guoxiang, and finally disassembled his body.

After doing all this, Najia Lazhangjing still couldn't let go of his hatred. He got a waist card from the Ming army's Yebushou, and from the officer's mouth, he also knew that it had the characters "Shun Xiangbao" on it.Jialazhangjing also learned from the Shiku who captured Huang Guoxiang that there were six sentries on his side, and when they encountered a small team of the other party's Ye Bushuo, five of their own were killed in battle and one was taken away. People are surprised.

When did the Ming army have such brave soldiers?Especially from Huang Guoxiang, he felt the difference in Shunxiang Castle.

Thinking of this, Najia Lazhangjing's face was uncertain.
