Chapter 782

A few miles to the south of Dafu Fort by the Daughter River in the southwest of Jinzhou, Liaodong, the Xuanfu Town sentry cavalry of the Ming army was fighting with a group of Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner sentry soldiers of the Qing army.

At this time, Zhang Jintai, a young general under the command of the Ming Army's Xuanfu General Soldier, fell off his horse. He jumped up extremely quickly, and was confronting the Qing Army's Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Gebush Xianchao Ha Yingzhang Jingdasu on foot.

The horses of the two of them fled far away amidst bursts of neighing. The weapons of the two were lost in the fight just now, but the remaining weapons were all on top of their horses.

"Brush" sound.

The young general Zhang Jintai suddenly drew out the Jieshoudao that he was carrying around his waist, and the leader of the Qing army, Gebush Jing Dasu, was not flustered.

The weapons they are holding are actually daggers, short weapons commonly used by soldiers from both Ming and Qing Dynasties in close combat.

The two sides glared at each other, and Zhang Jintai secretly calculated the best attack distance in his heart.

He was about to fit in and rush out, when suddenly he heard a roar from the right rear, followed by a heavy wind blowing from behind him, Zhang Jintai subconsciously dodged to the side.

The iron bone that flew towards him still hit his left shoulder hard, and he immediately felt the pain in his heart, as if his internal organs seemed to have shifted, Zhang Jintai opened his mouth wide in pain, and a mouthful of blood Just splash out.

He was furious, and although he had no choice but to turn around to find the man who threw the iron bone, Zhang Jintai vented all his anger on Dasu Zhangjing in front of him!

Although he is angry, Zhang Jintai is extremely calm. Although he lacks combat experience in the battlefield, since he moved to Dushikou Fort in Xuanbei with Zhang Cheng, in addition to practicing fighting skills with the guards, he also practiced fighting skills with his elder brother Zhang Chengfang. Take the boy camp into the mountains to hunt.

Just like the Tartars lived on fishing and hunting before joining the army, even now when there is no fighting, they still organize large-scale hunting for military training.

The same is true for Zhang Chengfang and Zhang Jintai. After Lin Fangping and Li Changsheng taught them a few times, they were able to organize hunting independently. They once hunted white-haired tigers on snowy nights, and even peeled off the tiger skins and offered them to Zhang Cheng.

I saw that Zhang Jintai's eyes were like fire, and his movements in his hands were not slow at all.

He unsnapped his sword and raised his hand. Under the sun, the light of the sword flashed, and behind him was a Tartar Ba Yala soldier who was rushing towards him with blood dripping all over his body. Holding his throat, he knelt down on the ground weakly, struggling endlessly.

Dasu Zhangjing, who had been glaring at Zhang Jintai all the time, saw this opportunity, and like an agile and vigorous leopard, he jumped up suddenly and rushed towards Zhang Jintai.

The strong wind and the sharp shadows made Zhang Jintai narrow his handsome eyes subconsciously.

Suddenly, he flicked his wrist vigorously, and a few sharp curved claws shining with cold light popped out from his two wrist guards. These curved claws seemed to be made of fine steel, shining with a penetrating cold light.

If Zhang Jintai was lucky enough to watch a movie of later generations, he should know that the weapon hidden in his wrist guard is quite similar to the wrist claw of an alien!
Of course, Zhang Jintai himself would not agree with this, because he had already given his wrist claw an extremely resounding name "Soul Chasing Claw!"

With the sound of "Dang", Zhang Jintai raised the wrist claw of his left hand, blocking Dasu Zhangjing's inevitable knife.

His right hand thrust upwards violently like lightning, and the sharp steel claws penetrated directly from Dasu Zhangjing's throat, and then, the claw tip pierced through Dasu's entire face with a piercing cold light. out.

In just an instant, many bloody holes appeared on Dasu Zhangjing's face.

At the same time, his body trembled violently, his eyes were deeply protruding and swollen, staring at Zhang Jintai's very handsome and slightly immature face in front of him.

Huge blood clots gushed out of his mouth, as if he had never expected that he, who had experienced countless battles and made no achievements, would die here, at the hands of such an immature Zhang Jintai!
But the facts are often very cruel. Whether you are willing to accept it or not, the facts will always be the facts. He is there, making your doubts weak and helpless.

Zhang Jintai looked at him coldly, his right hand slowly twisted, and Dasu Zhangjing's body trembled more violently.

It wasn't until his entire head and face were turned into a puddle of rotten flesh by Zhang Jintai's soul-chasing claws that he didn't move, only occasionally twitching feebly.

"You bastard, how dare you fight with the young master?"

Zhang Jintai coughed forcefully, grabbed Dasu Zhangjing's body like a torn bag, and threw it on the ground aside.

He looked back at the situation on the battlefield, and it was almost the end, with only a few sporadic Tartars still powerlessly resisting.

And the five people who were originally guarding the horses and wounded soldiers, including the smoke gun, the blacksmith and the lock, saw that the two sides were fighting together, they also took advantage of the situation and rushed out, rushing over to join the fight.

With the addition of five new troops, the panic among the remaining Tartars was greatly increased. They had no morale and fought hard only to survive, and every moment they lived was counted.

Suddenly, a Tazi soldier wanted to escape with his horse. He desperately urged the exhausted horse under his crotch, but he saw Li Changsheng galloping towards him, raising his hand to shoot a gun.

"Boom!" After a loud bang.

The tartar's body flew backwards from the horse's back, and then fell heavily to the ground, lifeless.

Since then, all the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner Tartar soldiers have been killed and wounded, and the war here is also considered to be over.

However, although his side had won a complete victory, Li Changsheng was a little unhappy.

This time, I personally led the left sentry brothers to send out the sentry. When they came, all 110 brothers came, plus himself, the young general Zhang Jintai, and the right sentry officer Temur led four Mengqi brothers. Accompanied by a total of [-] four-horsemen.

When he came back from the sentry, 26 brothers had been killed or injured. When he met Dasu Zhangjing of the Qing army, except for the five people who left behind to guard the wounded soldiers and horses, including the smoking gun, there were 83 soldiers who did not accept the night to fight with him. .

Calculated in this way, in the fight between him and the Manchurian Zhenghuangqi sentin of the Qing army, although all the Tartars were wiped out, 57 horsemen and horses were captured, and more than a hundred war horses were captured.

But in this battle, the final number of casualties of one's own side was as high as 48 people.

Even though many soldiers fell off their horses because of injuries to their horses, 21 people were killed in battle, and 27 people were seriously injured.

Most of the rest of the people were injured in one way or another. Except for the five people who had been taking care of the wounded soldier and the horse's smoking gun, there were very few people who were not injured.

It can be seen from this that this battle was tragic.

Although it is not a battle of thousands of troops, it is also very tragic, even far surpassing the battle of battle!

Looking at the blood and corpses all over the ground, it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and us for a while, they were everywhere, completely mixed together, Zhang Jintai couldn't help biting his lower lip.

At this time, sentry officer Wan Guangjin walked over clutching his chest, team leader Liu Shouzhu was by his side, also with his head depressed, and even limping when walking.

When he was fighting just now, he was struck by a mace from a Qing army Baya soldier. Although he also blocked most of the force with a shield, the remaining power still caused him serious injuries.

Li Changsheng's eyes also turned red when he saw the brothers Yebushou who surrounded him one after another. He tried not to let the tears flow down, and said in a slightly low voice: "Come on, clean up quickly, I have to leave quickly." This is the land of evil!"

Everyone around nodded silently. Many brothers who had been together day and night just left like this, and everyone felt uncomfortable.

But the current area, after all, is a place where Tartars are frequently active, and it is still in danger. If there are a large number of Tartar sentry cavalry passing by here, the situation will be even worse.

They also stopped the ink, and immediately acted quickly, gathered up the remains of the fallen soldiers, carefully helped the wounded to the horses, and tied them tightly if they could no longer ride horses.

The Tartar horses of various colors that could be drawn in were also quickly drawn in. At this time, the Ming army's Ye Bu Shou people were surrounded by the most horses, but the number of wounded also increased a lot.

Zhang Jintai's mount "White Dragon" has also been found, as well as the horse of Da Suzhangjing, the head of the vanguard battalion, which is also a fat, strong and excellent war horse.

At this moment, Temur, the sentry officer on the right side of the Huwei Battalion, also asked from the mouth of the Tartars who were still alive that the leader of the team was Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner Gebush Xianchao Ha Yingzhang Jingdasu.

Zhang Jintai was overjoyed when he learned that the leader of the Qing army he killed was actually the leader of the sentry cavalry of the Qing army. Although he pretended not to care, the joy in his heart was already beyond words .

When Li Changsheng heard about this, he hastily ordered Zhong Yebu to take Dasu's body and tie it to the spare horse, and wanted to bring it back to show the general.

At the same time, he ordered everyone to not only cut off the heads of the Tartars, but also to collect armor and weapons as much as possible, especially the armor worn by the five Gebush Xianchao Haying Tartars, as well as those of the Tartars Bayala soldiers. Nor should the armor fall.

After giving these instructions, his eyes could not help but stay on Zhang Jintai. Li Changsheng was generally very satisfied with his performance today.

He could almost be said to have watched Zhang Jintai grow up from a young age, so he naturally longed in his heart for him to make great achievements in front of the battle and grow up to be the right-hand man of his general master in the future.

However, every time Zhang Jintai faces a battle, he is extremely excited. Although it is a good thing to dare to be the first, Li Changsheng is also worried that he will suffer a big loss in this point after all.

"It seems that this matter should be reported to the general master!"

Zhang Jintai Ce cracked his mouth on his war horse, he still felt a burning pain in the back of his left shoulder, and wondered if the bone in that place would shatter.

At this moment, everyone had already cleaned up the battlefield and mounted their horses one after another. They were all speechless.

Seeing Li Changsheng's expression seemed a little sad, the sentry officer Wan Guangjince stepped forward immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Master Li, there is no need to be sad, brothers have already expected such a day when they joined the army.

He was born in Xuanbei, and he was lucky to be able to follow my family's master. The heroic spirits of the fallen soldiers will also be recorded in the records of merit and will be remembered by future generations. The orphans and family members will also be taken care of by the military government .

Unlike other places, if you die, you will die. Who has thought about what will happen to him and others? "

Li Changsheng, Chief Qian, nodded viciously when he heard the words, let out a long breath, and shouted loudly: "Let's go, go back to the camp!"

Suddenly, Wan Guangjin's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "There are Tartars coming from the side of the daughter's river..."

All of a sudden, the team leaders who had binoculars all took out their binoculars and looked there endlessly.

Sure enough, on the downstream side of the Naughty River, in the direction of Jinzhou, there seemed to be a large cloud of smoke and dust rising into the sky, and it couldn't stop rolling.

After Li Changsheng looked at it, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "Indeed, judging by the style of your armor, you are undoubtedly the scouts of the Tartars."

Although it is still uncertain how many men and horses there are in the galloping Tartar Sentinel, but after the battle, not only the strength of each person is weak, but also the strength of the horses has not recovered.

But there are many horses on one's own side, so they can change horses and fight again, but the short blunderbuss that everyone relies on as sharp weapons have almost fired a round, and they have never had time to reload the gunpowder.

In this way, if we fight against the Tartars again, wouldn't it be a disadvantage?

At this moment, the bench Zhao Xingguang also shouted loudly: "There is also smoke and dust rising in front..."

Li Changsheng was shocked when he heard the words, he quickly turned around and raised the binoculars to look at it, a moment later, he showed a smile on his face, and said: "It's the brother from the right sentry in my department, he must have got the news, come back to the army to rescue me Wait."

He then shouted loudly: "Quickly, sound the blunderbuss and guide Zuo Qinghe, the right whistle, so that he won't stray into the front of the Tartar army."

The signal guns that the Tiger Guards do not receive at night are all specially made, and the signal flares fired by them can be seen from a long distance with that special smoke and distinctive sound of the guns.

The number blunderbuss of the Tiger Guard Camp, the letter bombs fired will explode twice in the air, emitting special smoke of different colors. The red color indicates that this is a battlefield, the green indicates that this area is safe to pass, and the black indicates that the situation is unknown. It is not appropriate to go forward.

After all, due to the limitations of technology and raw materials in this era, it is not easy to do so. Although the smoke it emits is easy to identify, it is also easy to disperse and cannot stay in the air for a long time.

After "...crack...crack...crack..." several strange crackling sounds of the gun.

Li Changsheng immediately ordered Liu Shouzhu to lead the slightly injured Yebushoumen, guarding the wounded soldiers and some captured soldiers, to quickly retreat towards the right post Zuo Qinghe.

And he, together with Sentinel Wan Guangjin, led more than [-] soldiers who did not accept them for nights, and formed a circle here, also surrounded by many horses.

Fifteen of them got off their horses, held long guns, poked out the muzzles in the gaps in the circle, and were ready to shoot.

The rest of Ye Bu Shou, under the leadership of Li Changsheng and Wan Guangjin, are nervously and orderly loading their short guns with sub-drugs, in preparation for the upcoming battle, when they get on their horses and shoot slaves.

Zhang Jintai is also earnestly filling his short blunderbuss. It can be seen that his movements are very skillful. It can be seen that he has worked hard at ordinary times, and his ears are still shaking from time to time, as if he is also attentively listening to his daughter Hepan. The hooves of the Qing army cavalry.
