Chapter 28 Lead the snake out of the hole
There is a depression to the west of Mafang Village, where Zhang Cheng and others are observing Mafang's every move.

"Chen Baihu, what do you think?" Zhang Cheng asked Chen Zheng seemingly casually.

Chen Zheng looked in the direction of the village entrance, and replied in a low voice: "As the master said, there is at most one team of Tartar armored soldiers here. Before that, our troops killed ten armored soldiers on the official road, and now there are more than forty. The armored Tazi soldiers, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous servants, dressed in Aha, although they have combat power, they are not a concern for us."

Zhang Cheng nodded, agreed with his opinion, and asked, "How should we attack?"

Chen Zheng pondered for a while, and then said frankly: "The subordinates feel that we should send two teams of cavalry, abandon their horses and sneak into the shallow ditch on both sides of the road ahead, hold bows or three-eyed blunderbusses in ambush there, and then use a armor The cavalry went forward to spy on the entrance of the village, luring the Tartars out of the village to pursue them, and the two armored soldiers followed behind, annihilated them all, and then charged in from the entrance of the village with the cavalry."

Hu Dake, who was next to him, saw Chen Zheng finished speaking, and added: "It seems that there are no Tartar armored soldiers over there at the stables, so you can send a team of soldiers to go along the shallow ditch and wait for the battle at the entrance of the village. Attack randomly, deal with them first, and seize the Tartar horse mules."

Zhang Cheng was very relieved that there was basically nothing wrong with the strategy of the two of them, and they only needed to make some additions.

He carefully observed the surrounding situation again, and then ordered to everyone: "The outpost A and C teams, the back post A and B teams, first sneak into the shallow ditch in front, and lie in ambush, and the back post A and C teams use a forward Go out to lure the enemy, use the second and third best to respond, wait for the Tartars to attack, and then attack back and forth, so as to wipe them out in one battle."

Then he said to Chen Zheng and Hu Dake: "You two, each lead the knights of the sentry. After taking down the entrance of the village, they will directly enter the village from the east crossing. With Jia as the unit, cooperate with each other to fight. North, the rear sentry to the south of the village."

"Follow the general order." The two agreed.

"Left Sentinel A, B and C teams, first sneaked into the shallow ditch in front, went to the southeast stables, and rushed out immediately after the battle at the entrance of the village, beheaded the tartars near the stables, captured the horse mules, and protected the captured people .” Zhang Cheng continued to order.

The plan was made, and everyone quietly sneaked back to the official way.

On the way back, Zhang Cheng warned: "You two should not fight indiscriminately. After entering the village, when the enemy is panicking, try to kill with all your strength, especially the captive horses. Drive them as hard as you can, so that they have no horses to ride on."

The two spoke kindly.

Then he said to Chen Zhong: "Chen Zhong and all the guards will follow me and enter the village at last."

Each team and armor began to prepare according to the deployment. Some inspected weapons, bows and crossbows, and some inspected horses and weapons. Although everyone was moving, their voices were extremely soft, for fear of alarming the Qing army not far away.

…………

In Mafang Village, where the village entrance meets the road in the west, there are several large trees across the road to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving the village.

Near the entrance of the village, there is a collapsed house. Six infantrymen of the Qing army are gathering here to warm up the fire. The coats come and go on patrol.

But I have never seen, among the wind-moving grass waves, silhouettes crawling on the ground one by one, they are like Hell who is taking his life, slowly approaching the one who robbed me of gold and silver, captured my people, and humiliated my daughter Captive slaves.

A coat-coated Aha saw several shadows from a distance, approaching along the road, and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Could it be that Master Deke has returned."

After hearing the sound, several coats came and gathered in the middle of the road, looking into the distance.

At this time, an auxiliary soldier saw this situation, grabbed a waist knife, and walked over to disperse the wrapped Ahhas, then put his left hand on his forehead, and looked carefully towards the west of the village.

On the far side of the road, ten shadows were gradually approaching, which was the same number as the number of Qing army vests who went out to investigate, but he couldn't explain why, but he just felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help walking on the road outside.

Red, red cloak.

"Ming Gouzi, it's Ming Gouzi, tell the master quickly." The assistant soldiers shouted loudly.

The musketeer who was warming up over the fire heard the noise here, so he ordered Bao Yi, who was waiting beside him, to say: "You dog, go and have a look, don't be fooled by the noise over there."

Bao Yi, who was filling firewood next to him, froze for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the pike that squeaked just now, with a strange light in his eyes, he turned and walked towards the entrance of the village.

He had just arrived at the entrance of the village, and before he could look carefully, he saw an arrow flying towards the road, the throat of the auxiliary soldier who was gesturing to the distance and running back shouting loudly.

He stood there in a daze, raising his hands feebly, covering the place where the arrow hit, the donated blood kept flowing out, his face was extremely pale, and his eyes were full of horror.

He fell to the ground with a "bang", his body was not completely dead for a moment, he was twitching non-stop, and his feet kicked and kicked incessantly.

Those wrapped Ahhas next to him only followed their masters to plunder and plunder, and they were used to seeing Ming soldiers or Ming people die tragically, and it was rare for their own people to be shot and killed in front of their eyes like this.

All of them were like frightened rabbits at this time, trembling with fear, holding long knives and shields in their hands, screaming in their mouths, calling for the master who was cooking and eating meat to come over and deal with them.

The messy scene here immediately attracted the attention of the six Qing infantry soldiers over there. They hurriedly got up, picked up their respective weapons placed beside them, and came to the middle of the road.

Looking from a distance, about sixty or seventy steps away, there are ten knights, three in front and seven in the rear. All of them are wearing bright armor and bright red cloaks. There is no doubt that they are sentry cavalry of the Ming army. .

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

Two more arrows flew towards them, but they were easily swung away by those Qing army infantry armor. Looking from a distance, it was obvious that the opposite horse had just sprinted past, and there were glistening beads of sweat on its body.

One of the armor shouted loudly: "Prepare your horses, and follow me to kill Ming Gouzi."

There was a burst of noisy footsteps, with the neighing of the horses interspersed, and the auxiliary soldiers and the packers went to untie the horses one after another.

Four of the six infantrymen here took up their bows, mounted arrows, and shot at the three Ming army knights.

But the Ming army on the opposite side didn't want to shoot at them, so they drove their horses, turned around and ran away.

These six infantry soldiers turned on their horses, cursed angrily, and galloped out with four auxiliary soldiers. Behind them were nine coated Ahha, who rode their horses and followed behind their master without waiting for their master's orders. rushed out.

…………

Yang Qing, a leader of the C team of the rear sentry, led his brother Jiazhong, and trotted along the road, gradually getting closer to the entrance of Mafang Village, but there was no movement there, which made him a little anxious.

Then he called two knights in the first class, three of them rode their horses in front, and the other seven followed them behind, about [-] paces apart.

Yang Qing rode his horse and ran all the way, but he didn't see any reaction from the other side. On a whim, he hit the horse and went straight to the village entrance. When he was [-] steps away from the village entrance, he found a Tartar who looked like an auxiliary soldier on the opposite side, rushing up the road to watch .

He couldn't hold back any of them, so he mobilized his horse and rushed to less than a hundred meters from the entrance of the village. He bent his bow and set an arrow, and with the force of the horse's forward rush, a heavy arrow flew away.

He shot right at the throat of the auxiliary soldier who was out of the village to watch.

But seeing seventeen or eighteen people from the opposite village entrance had mounted their horses one after another, Yang Qing didn't dare to stay, so he shot two more arrows with his companions, turned around and ran away.

The dust was flying, and dozens of war horses galloped rapidly, chasing Yang Qing and the other three.
