Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 292

On the east bank of the Jinshui River, the Ming army crossing the river has reached 5000 people. They gathered at the exit of the pontoon bridge and did not disperse to both sides.

At this time, a large banner came down from the pontoon bridge, and the Ming army on the shore immediately separated a passage, and the generals of the Ming army in heavy Kai surrounded Wang Yan and He Tengjiao and came to the front of the army.

The Qing army scout hiding in the woods couldn't help holding his breath. He could almost see Wang Yan's face clearly through the binoculars.

Wang Yan's reputation has already spread among the Qing soldiers, and being able to see his face will also become his future talking point.

In the circular picture of the binoculars, Wang Yan and the generals around him seemed to be saying something, but the soldiers of the Ming army on the pontoon stopped suddenly, and then dozens of Ming soldiers turned over and searched for all aspects of the east bank. .

Seeing this, the scouts of the Qing army couldn't help but put down their binoculars suddenly, then quickly escaped from the woods, turned over and rode on a war horse leisurely eating wild grass, and ran to the back of Yangmao Lake.

Luke Dehun was attracting many generals to discuss, but the scout galloped up to him, then hurriedly dismounted and ran over, knelt down and said, "Master Baylor~ The Ming army stopped crossing the river~ I sent a scout to investigate~"

The scout finished speaking out of breath, but Lucde's face changed drastically when he heard it. He grabbed his chest, lifted him up, and asked angrily, "What did you say? Wang Yan sent the scout over?"

Yuan Zongdi had already investigated once yesterday, but he did not expect Wang Yan to investigate again today, and sent scouts to investigate behind the lake, which was really beyond Luck Dehun's expectations.

"Slave~ dare not lie to Lord Baylor~" the scout was mentioned by Luc Dehun, feeling a little scared in his heart, and quickly said: "The slave saw with his own eyes that Wang Yan called a stop to the army and sent scouts to Yangmao Lake, so he immediately rushed back to report to Baylor Lord."

Luc Dehun knew that the scouts didn't dare to lie to him, and they were telling the truth, so he angrily pushed the scouts to the ground.

Seeing this, Jue Luo Langqiu on the side couldn't help asking: "Master Baylor, what should we do? Did Wang Yan discover something? Or he will send someone to kill the Ming army scouts!"

Le Kede shook his head slightly, his face was very heavy. After he frowned and thought for a while, he said in a hateful voice: "Wang Yan should not have found us, otherwise he would not have crossed the river by himself. He stopped the Ming army from crossing the river, so he should just go out." Be cautious. Once the scouts of the Ming army search behind the lake, we will be exposed immediately. It seems that the commander has to start in advance."

"The Ming army that can cross the river is only a few thousand people. Even if they are all killed, they can't cause too much damage to the main force of the Ming army~"

"It doesn't matter~" Luc Dehun calmed down, and said cruelly: "As long as I can capture Wang Yan and He Tengjiao, I can still defeat the main force of the Ming army in one fell swoop."

When all the generals of the Qing army heard the words, they were suddenly in awe.

Seeing this, Luck Dehun ordered: "Jue Luo Langqiu, come here with your ears~"

Yangmao Lake is not considered a big lake in the south, the area of ​​the lake is only about [-] mu, and there is another smaller lake to the north of it, and then the Yangtze River.

Ten scouts from the Ming army were ordered to search the place behind the lake from the east bank of the Jinshui River. They galloped all the way to a large forest, and could not help slowing down their horses.

Xiaoqi, the leader of the Ming army, took a look at the forest, then waved his hand and said, "Old Jiu, go in and have a look."

The nine Ming soldiers got off their horses immediately, pulled out their sabers, and carefully approached the woods. They entered the woods, but found that the forest was very quiet, not even a bird chirping. There are bound to be problems within the woods.

"Get out~" Seeing this, a scout hurriedly greeted a few people, but at this moment, a dozen or so black figures suddenly jumped down from several big trees, knocked them down instantly, and quickly dragged them into the Deep in the woods, these scouts seemed to appear again soon, and they walked out of the woods after a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Qi, a scout waiting outside, quickly asked: "Old Jiu, did you find anything~ah~" Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly shot in the face by an arrow and fell off his horse.

The scouts of the Ming army who had just come out from a distance, seeing this, put away their bows and arrows and hung them on their backs. Behind him, teams of Qing army cavalry came out of the woods with their horses, and gradually gathered into a large area. , Like a dark cloud, it will sweep across the banks of the Jinshui River.

At this time, another person from the cavalry of the Qing army stepped forward and came to the side of Xiaoqi of the Ming army who had been shot to death. He quickly stripped Xiaoqi's armor and put it on himself, then got on his horse and joined nine other soldiers. The Qing army, wearing the armor of the Ming army, left together.

The murderous aura spread in the sky, and there were no birds in sight. Thousands of Ming soldiers guarded Wang Yan and He Tengjiao, waiting silently on the east bank of the Jinshui River.

Teams of sentry cavalry returned from all directions, but only the small team that went to Yangmao Lake to investigate was missing. The formation of the Ming army changed for a while, and it seemed that they were about to retreat to the west bank.

At this moment, Jue Luo Langqiu led nine elite Qing soldiers, but they appeared in time. In the Ming army formation, Hao Yaoqi saw this, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, he hurriedly rode his horse forward, and cursed loudly: ~Why did you come back now?"

Jue Luolang Qiu, who was galloping, didn't dare to answer when he heard the sound, but lowered the disc helmet on his head, and continued to gallop towards the Ming Army's banner.

Seeing this, Hao Yaoqi sneered, and gestured to the general behind him. When Jue Luo Langqiu ran a hundred paces away, he suddenly shouted: "Protect the Duke, they are spies~"

The Ming army heard the words at the bridgehead, and immediately there was confusion. The generals of the Ming army under the banner of Dazhu hurriedly surrounded Wang Yan and He Tengjiao and were about to turn around and retreat to the west bank.

Seeing this, Jue Luo Langqiu turned pale with fright. He saw Hao Yaoqi leading more than a dozen people riding towards him on horseback, and seeing Wang Yan running away, he couldn't help throwing the disc helmet that covered half of his face, and leaked out. The bald head and Qian Qianshuwei ordered loudly: "Shoot the arrow, shoot Wang Yan to death, don't let him run away."

Manchu warriors were good at riding and archery, and all of them were able to pierce Yang with a hundred steps. For this sneak attack, they selected the best warriors among the warriors, so their archery skills are naturally not worth mentioning.

They heard Jueluo Langqiu's cry, and saw Wang Yan's back under the banner of the big banner. They bent their bows and shot, and the ten feathered arrows flew out at once. They fell off their horses one after another.

"Master He is dead~"

"Duke Chu is injured~"

There was chaos among the Ming army, Jue Luo Langqiu was overjoyed when he heard the body, he looked down the banner, and sure enough, he saw several Ming generals hastily snatched He Tengjiao's body back, and then helped Wang Yan, who had an arrow in his back, onto his horse .

"Thief, how dare you hurt my country's Duke!"

At this time, Hao Yaoqi came over with a full face of anger. He felt that Luo Langqiu had no time to continue to judge the situation under Dazhu's banner, so he had to abandon the bow and arrow, and drew a knife to fight with Hao Yaoqi.

The ground trembled, but it was Luke Dehun who led [-] cavalry and charged towards the bridge.

Thousands of Ming troops on the east bank looked at the overwhelming Qing cavalry, and their faces were filled with horror. Thousands of soldiers and horses were completely confused, and they flocked to the pontoon bridge to escape back to the west bank.
