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

Chapter 223 Report Victory to Governor Lu and Yang Junmen
Li Guangheng led his cavalry to the official road, the Gou.ri Tartars ran really fast, fortunately there were many auxiliary soldiers in their banners following behind the Tartars' armored soldiers.Many of these people do not ride war horses, but mostly pack horses, mules, and the like, and the Tartar horses lack grain, grass, and beans. In terms of physical strength, they are not as good as the horses that are carefully fed in the Central Plains.

Li Guangheng urged his horses to gallop forward like lightning. Hundreds of Shunbao cavalry behind him just rolled behind him.

Seeing the Ming army cavalry chasing after them, and the smoke and dust billowing behind them, the Qing soldiers were even more frightened when they saw how many people came. They just tried their best to move their horses.The spurs stabbed the horse under the crotch to the blood.

His eyes lit up, the official road ahead was vast, and the wheat fields on all sides gradually dissipated, turning into a loess wilderness, obviously due to the lack of water in this area, farming was not allowed.Those Qing soldiers scattered even further and fled for their lives at high speed.

At this time Li Guangheng and the others had already caught up, and he quickly caught up with a Tartar soldier in front of him who was frantically whipping his horse. No inlaid iron leaves.

The horse under his crotch was already very tired, and he couldn't stop puffing white air. Seeing a horse on the left rushing up quickly, Yu Ding looked over with fearful eyes, and met Li Guangheng's sharp eyes like an eagle of prey.

The two horses missed, and with the momentum of the horse, the large iron spear in Li Guangheng's hand pierced through his left back heart.He is skilled in horsemanship and has great strength. After the iron spear pierced Yu Ding of the Qing soldier, he swung the big gun with force, and the body of the Qing soldier rolled into the dust. The huge impact inertia of the impact did nothing to him.

The rest of the cavalry also chased up one after another, slashing and killing those Tartar soldiers who fell behind. Of course, they did not have the ability of Li Guangheng. The shaft of the spear was let go immediately, and the spear was only used as a disposable weapon.

Or with the help of horsepower, the unsharp saber in the hand dragged across the Qing soldiers. Even if they escaped with their lives in this kind of cold weather, the long gash made by the saber would never be healed.

Auxiliary soldiers of the Qing army rolled down one by one, and in a short while, at least more than 100 Tartar soldiers who were overtaken were killed and fell off by the Shunbao cavalry.

The horse under Li Guangheng's crotch was very handsome, and he kept rushing to the front. After killing or shooting down a few Tartar auxiliary soldiers who had fallen behind, his eyes lit up, and there was a large group of Tartar armored soldiers running ahead.Li Guangheng immediately put his big spear on the saddle and took out his horn bow.

Li Guangheng is proficient in riding and archery, and he is quite proficient in firecrackers, but after riding a horse, he still likes to use bows and arrows, and he has step bows and horn bows on his body.

He drew his bow and shot the arrow, and chased after him for a while. The horse under him jumped to the highest point. At the most stable moment, with a sound of "咻!", a strong arrow shot, and a Qing soldier in front of him was heartbroken, and rolled off the pommel horse with a loud cry. under.

Li Guangheng drew his bow again and shot an arrow, "Hoo!" With one arrow, another Qing soldier was shot down by him.

With a sound of "Whoosh!", a Qing soldier turned around and shot an arrow at Li Guangheng.

With a tricky angle, he went straight to Li Guangheng's face.

Li Guangheng had a small arm shield on his left arm, but it was made of refined iron. Among the cavalry of Shun Township Castle, everyone had an arm shield, but it was only made of hardwood and leather.

Li Guangheng blocked it with his left arm, the arrow hit his arm shield, with a bang, the flames scattered everywhere.

At this moment, the armored soldier pinched the horse's belly hard, and the spurs pierced deeply into the horse's belly. The horse suffered from the pain, ran wildly, and went far away.

"almost!"

Li Guangheng saw that most of the Tartar armored soldiers ran far away, and it was difficult for him to catch up. Don't chase the poor, just accept them when they are good.

He stopped his horse, and the cavalry beside him were chasing the fleeing Tartar auxiliary soldiers, or chasing and gathering some fleeing Tartar horses.Li Guangheng was satisfied. In the first battle, he was able to kill one or two hundred Tartar auxiliary soldiers, which was a good record.

Suddenly seeing smoke billowing from the right side of the front again, Li Guangheng was startled, could it be that Tartar reinforcements are coming?After half a sound, he felt relieved, but his cloud of smoke and dust was the Qing soldiers fleeing to the left.Soon, Li Guangheng saw more clearly that there were only a few dozen people in the cloud of smoke and dust, but there were more than 200 horses in total, and it was crazy and powerful.

It turned out to be Brother Yebushou in the army, and Li Guangheng smiled.

Those Ye Bushou passed by dozens of paces away from the rout of the Qing army, all of them drew their bows and shot arrows, or used strong crossbows. After a shower of arrows, another group of Qing soldiers rolled off their horses.Those Qing soldiers did not dare to fight, they rode their horses and ran wildly, running far to the left.

Soon, they were no longer seen.

Li Guangheng saw those Yebushou stopped, and the containment was successful. Soon, they came roaring again. Among the horses, there were dozens of war horses, and there were many armors and equipment on the horses. Of course, blood was inevitable. head.

Some of them were behind their horses, dragging a few half-dead wounded Qing soldiers with ropes. When those horses rushed to Li Guangheng's place without stopping at night, Li Guangheng saw that the Tartar soldiers who were dragged behind their horses were all dead. Not in human form.

These nights, he rode his horse in front of Li Guangheng and the others, and immediately felt a threatening arrogance.Wang Doujun didn't take them in the middle of the night, it can be said that he was the concentrated essence of the whole army, he dismounted immediately, and his personal skills were all outstanding.The knights under Li Guangheng's command cannot compare with them.

The leader, Yebushou, was riding on a tall war horse. He was burly and full of beards. He was Wen Daxing, the head of Yebushou Baibai.Under Wang Dou's order, he led a team to go out to spy on the enemy's situation at night, survey and draw the map, and they traveled for a few days before returning today.On the way, I saw the Tartars retreating, out of formation and without fighting spirit, so I naturally grabbed a hand.

Wen Daxing laughed and got off his horse to salute Li Guangheng. Although he is the leader of the headquarters, he is the leader of Yebushu, but his military position is Baizong. When he meets Li Guangheng, the general, he has to salute respectfully, otherwise Chi Dacheng, the town governor, will find out. , Hitting dozens of army sticks is a trivial matter.

The most respected hero in the army, Li Guangheng also admired Wen Daxing's life and death, not to mention that Wen Daxing was an old man who had followed the guerrilla general since Shunxiang Fort.So Li Guangheng didn't take the airs of Shangguan at all.

The two exchanged a few words, Wen Daxing said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the brothers have already made love to the Tartars."

Li Guangheng said: "Looking at Brother Wen's happy faces, it seems that this trip has gained a lot."

Wen Daxing's face turned pale, and he said: "To each other, watching Li Bazong fight against the Tartars, we also gained a lot."

Li Guangheng said: "I'm ashamed, but I have entrusted the blessing of Brother B and C."

Wen Daxing said with a smile: "My Shun Township Fort has the sharpest fire blunderbuss, and it's not surprising that the Tartar soldiers fled in embarrassment."

They were talking here, and the cavalry under Li Guangheng had already cleaned up the results of the battle and beheaded 130 and five ranks. The bald-headed corpse lay in the field.Another 120 mules and horses were seized, some of which went to unknown places.There are also some armor, weapons, supplies, etc., and some silver taels of dry food and fodder, which need to be counted in detail.

Li Guangheng asked about Wen Daxing's harvest just now. Their team did not stop at night and shot down more than 20 Tartar soldiers. Finally, although Li Guangheng didn't know what Wen Daxing was going to do with them, those heads were reserved.

In this way, in this chasing battle, I have already beheaded the slave thief at level 160, so I don't know how much the brothers under the bridge have gained.

Wen Daxing and the others also harvested 35 horses and some armor and weapons just now.Li Guangheng remembered that the sergeant was not taking three horses at night, except for the horses captured earlier, there were nearly two hundred horses in their herd.

There were also a few captured Tartars who were still alive and were firmly tied to the horses.

With so many beheadings and seizures, since Li Guangheng came down, everyone was smiling. After the battlefield was cleaned up, in order to prevent any changes, everyone did not stay too long, and turned back to the bridge happily.

They rode their horses back in a mighty manner, and the few captured Qing soldiers' vests and infantry captives were still dragged behind their horses.When they ran and roared to the end of the bridge, two infantry armors of the Qing soldiers had already lost their breath, and the remaining three vests were also bloody, with only one breath left.

He didn't accept it all night and said: "Wen Tou, those three tartars can't do it anymore, should they cut off their heads?"

Wen Daxing laughed grimly: "These Tartars dare to enter our Daming territory and wreak havoc, it's not so cheap to let them die."

He turned to Ye Bushou, who was nearly forty in the team, and said: "Master Qiang, you are the most proficient in criminal techniques, and these Tartar soldiers will be dealt with by you."

Ye Bushou looked like an old farmer, but his face was gloomy, his cheekbones were raised high, and his triangular eyes flashed with a cold light like a poisonous snake.It was Zhao Qiang, a Sergeant in the Second Dragon Corps who had fought against the Qing soldiers Zhengbaiqi sentry that day.

Although he has made great achievements, it is even more difficult to be promoted in the case of not accepting overnight. There are many people fighting for a small corps leader and Jiachang. He has not been promoted yet, and he is just an ordinary sergeant who does not accept overnight, but everyone in the team respectfully calls him For Lord Qiang.

Lord Qiang took the order and looked at the Qing soldiers prisoners on the ground. His expression was calm, but there was a gleam of cruelty and excitement in his eyes.

Under his command, every two nights, a Qing soldier was forced to set up, stripped their clothes, naked, and nailed their hands and feet to the big tree on the right side of the official road with thick wooden nails. , Then Master Qiang took a sharp dagger and cut off their lower bodies one by one.

Three Qing army vests were nailed to the tree, screaming heart-piercingly, regretting why they were not dragged to death just now, but at this moment, they suffered even greater pain.

Wen Daxing and the others laughed out loud, even praising Mr. Qiang as Mr. Qiang, indeed, there are so many amazing tricks, which is admirable.

The cavalry under Li Guangheng looked at all this, all of them were pale, and they exchanged eye contact with each other. Li Guangheng said solemnly: "Let's go back."

When we came to the bridgehead, the battlefield here had been cleaned up, and the results of the battle had been counted. Under the bridgehead pier, a total of 61 Tazi soldiers were killed or wounded, and they were all elite vest and infantry soldiers from the Qing army. There are many small leaders such as Tazi Zhuangda, and there are two people, Pashiku.

Of course, both the dead and the wounded have all become heads.Many pairs of Tartar armor and weapons were also seized. Tian Qiming, the team officer guarding Yandun and Shiqiao, was already grinning from ear to ear, and quickly reported victory to the guerrilla general Wang Dou.

Seeing Li Guangheng and others come back, he opened his eyes wide: "My mother, the cavalry brothers have gained a lot."

At this moment, the people from the brigade behind the official road came, but it was Wang Dou who heard the news of the great victory ahead, and hurriedly brought Han Zhong, Wen Fangliang, the governor of the town, Chi Dacheng, and the commanders under his command.Seeing the tragic battlefield, he was secretly surprised.

Seeing such a harvest, beheading 220 level [-], capturing a lot of horses, and nothing else, he was even more excited.

Everyone gathered around him, all excited, Han Zhong kept breathing in: "Great, great."

He shouted: "General, you have gained so much, hurry up and report your victory to Duchen Lu!"

Wang Dou smiled and said: "Indeed, I want to report victory to Duchen Lu and Yang Junmen immediately."
