Chapter 423(1/2)
"There was no smoke rising from the Great Wall, how did they get into it?" Hu Yingming murmured.
Qin Xuance got on his horse and sneered: "Maybe this group of people has been within the Great Wall all along."
"How...how is this possible?!"
Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance ignored him and galloped towards the military formation.
On the vast land, two thousand cavalry guards were already in formation. Behind them, three thousand military households were still hurriedly forming formation.
In the distance, the Qing army was marching very fast, and in a moment they had closed the distance by half.
In the wind and snow, you can see strong black shadows one by one.
Although it is just a black line, the murderous aura is already spreading...
Zhang Yongnian narrowed his eyes, and the hand holding the handle of the knife trembled slightly.
It had been several years since he had fought against Jian Nu. At this time, he was a little nervous and a little excited.
Calm down, calm down... He closed his eyes, listened to the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground hard, and let his heartbeat follow this sound.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
There was a drumbeat.
"Fire gun!" Zhang Yongnian shouted.
The Qing army's cavalry was closer, and Zhang Yongnian could already see them drawing their bows and setting arrows, but he still sat calmly on his horse, counting the number of people on the other side with his eyes.
"There are one thousand people, and there should be less than five hundred real slaves."
The two sides are closer.
Zhang Yongnian slowly raised the long knife in his hand.
"Lighting rope! Aim..."
Tian Hai rode his horse and ran at the end of the team.
The oncoming cold wind was scraping his face like a knife, but his heart was filled with excitement.
I don’t know when Tian Wufu became so smart? He actually persuaded General Kulecha to send troops to avenge General Tian. Today, Wang Xiao must be killed with his own hands!
He turned around to take a look at Tian Wufu, but found that he had already run away, and he didn't know where he ended up.
At this time, there was no time to search carefully, and Tian Hai didn't care. He slowed down the horse slightly, clamped the horse's belly, pulled out the knife with his only hand and bit it in his mouth, then pulled up the reins and spurred the horse to sprint.
It's really inconvenient to have a broken hand, but it doesn't matter. In today's battle, Wang Xiao's men will be defeated. After all, he still understands the combat power of the Chu army.
Thinking of this, Tian Hai's eyes were full of fighting spirit...
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The match rope burned to the end, and the muzzles of the rows of blunderbuss lit up.
In the Qing army opposite, a dozen knights fell off their horses.
Zhang Yongnian slashed down with his long sword held high and shouted: "Charge!"
"kill!"
Two thousand cavalry guards faced a thousand Qing troops and charged forward on horseback.
This is indeed not the most correct response to the cavalry that is already running.
If there was enough time, Zhang Yongnian would be able to fight this battle much easier if he could set up defensive barriers and trenches, allow the infantry to fight with spears, and then allow the cavalry to charge from the side.
But now things are in a hurry, and the Lulongwei infantry have no fighting power.
Then we had to let the cavalry fight.
If they are twice as large as the enemy but don't even have the courage to fight, it will be difficult for this guard to grow.
The distance of the current charge was calculated by Zhang Yongnian, just enough to allow his horses to pick up enough speed and have enough momentum.
In addition, although the opponent's horse has started running, it is also exhausted.
Then, let’s go head-to-head.
"Kill..."
"Fire the arrow!"
Kuleca shouted loudly in Manchu.
Arrows shot out like locusts, but the warriors on horseback still maintained their fast speed.
Kulecha means "dark face" in Manchu. As the name suggests, the Kulecha people have big black faces, are majestic and powerful, and are very powerful.
He is Niu Lu Ezhen of Zhenglan Banner. He has stayed in Chu Kingdom since joining the Great Wall two years ago.
He led 500 people in Chu territory without any news. On the one hand, it was naturally because there were people helping to cover him; on the other hand, it was also because Kulecha was quite cautious.
Kulecha didn't want to go to war today. He didn't care whether Tian Honghua died or not. It was not difficult to find such a collaborator among the generals of the Chu Dynasty. But Tian Wufu's words convinced him...
Since Qin Chengye's third son, Qin Shanhe, was defeated and surrendered, the Qing Dynasty has handed over dozens of letters of persuasion to Qin Chengye over the years, and now it has finally achieved some results. According to reports, Ningyuan's food and grass have been almost exhausted, and even the Qin family has
None of the servants had enough to eat.
Master Zhang Jing has issued a death order not to allow food and wages to enter the Liao Dynasty. He even wanted to assassinate Lu Zhengchu, even if he did not hesitate to expose the details of the Chu capital. After succeeding, Qin Chengye's surrender seemed to be just around the corner.
But at this time, Kulecha received news from Tian Wufu: Huaiyuan Hou Wangxiao of the Chu Dynasty had brought food and salary, and at the same time, he also had an edict to confer the title of uncle to Qin Chengye.
Kulecha quickly made a decision to intercept Wang Xiao and seize the grain.
Although he only had 500 Eight-Banner Soldiers and 500 Han Eight-Banner Soldiers at his disposal, he did not take them seriously at all, but the two thousand Chu troops plus the three thousand rabble.
…
A round of arrows was fired, and dozens of people in the Chu army fell off their horses. The sprint slowed down, and the troops scattered somewhat.
"Fire the arrow!"
The Eight Banners soldiers controlled the string very quickly, and in an instant there was another round of arrow rain.
There was a constant "whooshing" sound in the air, followed by clanging sounds and pitiful screams.
Zhang Yongnian's face was sullen, as if made of iron. He waved his sword to deflect the arrows and shouted: "Speed up your horse and rush over!"
"kill!"
The huge muscles on the war horse's body swayed, and the horseshoes stamped heavily on the ground, splashing countless snow and mud.
The two sides are getting closer and closer, and neither side has any intention of retreating.
The escort took out a black cloth and covered the horse's eyes.
But they themselves couldn't close their eyes, they could only watch the other side bump into each other.
Gradually, the soldiers on both sides could see the ferocious expressions on each other's faces and feel the cold killing intent on each other's bodies.
The blade is raised high...
"Bang!"
Loud noises!
Howling one after another...
The two parties collided with each other!
The man turned his back on his horse.
The huge impact knocked the knight in the front row off his horse, and then the heavy horse suddenly fell down.
The soldiers screamed and the horses neighed in grief.
"kill!"
The blade fell and blood spattered.
The hot blood splashed into the snow, melting the snow and turning it into mud all over the ground.
The people and horses who had lost their stumps were rolling and howling in the mud, forming a tragic hell scene in an instant...
Wang Xiao watched this scene from a distance without blinking.
Behind him, Lulongwei's military officers were in good formation and were still organizing their formation.
A bunch of chaos and panic.
They were still very thin, with weapons in their hands and fear on their faces.
After a while, Wang Xiao took the reins and rode the horse slowly through the team.
"Remember what you look like today." He shouted.
"You remember how cowardly and panicked you were today, like a group of chickens waiting for the slaves' hooves to step over. They will kill your closest relatives and then enslave you like pigs and dogs!"
"But I hope that one day, when you grow into real warriors, you can still remember today and never bow your head again!" Wang Xiao said this and shouted loudly: "Because today's battle, we will win!"
"Must win!"
Only a few people followed and shouted.
To be continued...
