The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 73 You can still ride a horse like this

At this time, Jiang Zhong had already arrived at the hermitage with the first batch of convoys. This journey took nearly ten days, and it can be said that they had to cross mountains and mountains, cut trees, cross water and build bridges, and overcome all kinds of hardships and hardships.

Fortunately, they prepared well. The women and children accompanying them were all the people who survived the catastrophe.

When it was time, Jiang Zhong realized that he did not have the ability to plan for a rainy day. Although the terrain in the hermitage was flat, there were not enough houses here. If it was cold today, a little carelessness would cause a large number of casualties.

He has settled here for more than [-] years. There were more than a thousand people, and there were hundreds of brick and tile houses. He was busy making room for the sick and the old and the weak. He also ordered people to build thatched houses and specially built brick and stone structures. warehouse etc.

There used to be a small brick factory here, with a monthly output of only 8 yuan of red bricks, but now Tianhan has stopped production. Fortunately, there are still millions of burnt red bricks left in the brick factory.

Jiang Zhong immediately mobilized manpower to resume and expand the production of the brick factory, and cut logs everywhere to expand the village.

It wasn't until Cheng Zhang's arrival that Jiang Zhong felt a little more relaxed, and the labor force was arranged properly. Fortunately, there are many people and strong strength. In just two days, more than a thousand thatched houses were built, and the urgent need was finally solved.

Jiang Zhong knew that the most important thing was whether his nephew could defeat the Qing army who came to clear the Qing army, and he also ordered the elite under his command to rush to help his nephew.

These elites are all strong and strong in their 40s and 300s. They have no use in the mountains. Jiang Zhong used to form them into an army and often took them to hunt. Therefore, everyone is a hunting expert, and their arrow skills are far better than ordinary people. The Orion camp has [-] people in total, headed by his adopted wolf boy Jiang Lang.

Jiang Lang is not very tall, but he is ferocious like a beast. He can fight fierce tigers with his bare hands. He has a weird personality and rarely talks to people. He only listens to the orders of Jiang Zhong and his youngest daughter Jiang Ling. The tame Jiang Lang urged him repeatedly, and he also asked his youngest daughter Jiang Ling and the steady Hu Yidao to accompany him.

He has received a report from his nephew that all the materials are gathered in Heihuzhai. Now that the mountain road has been cleared and there are no women and children on the road, he estimates in his heart that he can run back and forth in about seven or eight days.

Everything was arranged properly, but the young men recruited became fussy, holding the silver donated by Jiang Zhong felt unreal, and they were even more terrified. It was almost Chinese New Year, and everyone was homesick again, clamoring to go home, how much money to give Don't do it anymore.

Jiang Zhong comforted him again and again, but it still didn't work. He was so anxious that he sent someone to tell his nephew, told all the strong men to go back, and ordered more than a thousand craftsmen to quickly build the car, in order to reduce the physical consumption of the transport team. He thought: "Let's make my nephew a headache, but this secret stronghold has been exposed. Although this place is dangerous, it can't withstand the continuous attacks of the Qing army, but it can't kill people to silence it. What should we do?"

Although he was worried, he still let the Orion camp, Hu Yidao's new barracks and all the young men return, because he knew that killing these innocent young men would not be convincing in the future, but would ruin his nephew's heart. event.

"Report, thousands of cavalry came rushing from the direction of Gwangju, all in blue armor, and three riders per person, they should be Tartars. They are only fifty miles away from here, and the forward is less than twenty miles away!" A tiger and leopard rider The brother gasped.

"Hmph, the Tartars are finally here. How many people are there in the vanguard?" Jiang Shi sneered, but he had some expectations in his heart. The young leader had been secretly praising the fighting power of the Qing Tartars, but he didn't believe in evil. He must kill the Tartars. prestige.

The tiger and leopard rider was also one of Jiang Tao's foster brothers, and he said calmly, "There are only a dozen or so forwards, but there are quite a few casual horses."

"Okay, let's take the heads of these Tartars and go to see the Young Master." Jiang Shi wanted to gallop on his horse after he finished speaking. There were more than 30 elite tiger and leopard riders around him, and he wanted to kill more than a dozen Tartars in his thoughts. It's not as simple as finding something out of a bag.

Seeing this panic, Jiang Xin blurted out: "Leader, let's gather all the brothers first, retreat [-] miles, and report to the young master, while launching a surprise attack on the Tartars' vanguard, we will surely kill the Tartars by surprise. "

"What are you talking about? You are as cowardly as a mouse, and the commander treats you as a brother in vain!" Jiang Shi recalled what happened last time, turned his face on the spot, and reprimanded unceremoniously.

"Brother Shi, personal honor and disgrace are small, who can take on the big responsibility of the young master?" Jiang Xin became angry when he heard the words, and the tiger and leopard cavalry officers were a little hesitant, and felt that what the two commanders said made sense.

The tiger and leopard cavalry can be said to be the most elite unit of the Black Tiger Army, but they are too young and have never met an opponent. Jiang Shi is even more arrogant, and said coldly: "Whoever dares to kill the Tartars will follow the commander."

"Kill the Tartars!" All the soldiers shouted after being excited by this.

Suddenly, there were only three people left beside Jiang Xin. Looking at the twenty cavalry who were splashing dust, he felt very helpless. On the one hand, he ordered two of them to inform the other tiger and leopard cavalry to retreat, while the other went to meet the general. , to explain the truth, so that the young master can prepare early.

He sighed, and whipped the healthy horse under him a few times with the whip, trying to catch up with Jiang Shi and others and help them, but he said anxiously in his heart: "I hope this time the tiger and leopard rider will not suffer too much loss."

He clearly knows the basics of the tiger and leopard riders. Each of the tiger and leopard riders has an extended Qi family knife, an ox horn bow, and is equipped with two quiver. Each Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has only one healthy horse. If they don't quickly defeat the Tartars, they won't be able to escape the pursuit of thousands of cavalry. At that time, the elite of dozens of Black Tiger Army will be ruined.

And Jiang Shi, who was galloping on horseback, felt a little regretful, no matter how rude Jiang Xin was, he was still his brother-in-law, and we all grew up together, so he shouldn't have said such unfeeling words, but he couldn't say it when he wanted to apologize, He secretly muttered in his heart: "In the future, you must pay attention to your tone, after all, you are your brother."

Da da da……

Hearing the approaching sound of horseshoes, Jiang Shi became nervous for a while. After all, the other party was the famous Manchu Eight Banners, and even the young leader with high martial arts skills respected three points. No, I can't be afraid, I am the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

A few days ago, the Young Master specifically mentioned the origin and allusions of the Tiger and Leopard Rider. He is Heihu’s brother-in-law, and he must not embarrass the Heihu Village. The prestige of the army.

But after a while, Jiang Shi had already seen the blurred shadow of the other party, he drew out his bow and arrow decisively, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Take the bow, get ready!"

Since the establishment of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, it has been growing through continuous training. Ever since the Young Master put forward the standard of riding a horse and not dismounting, Jiang Shi and others have almost always lived on horseback.

Fortunately, the members of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are all elites who have practiced martial arts for more than ten years. Now they can basically draw a bow and shoot arrows while running wildly, but their accuracy is not flattering. Recently, they have to visit the enemy and train. After all the hardships, no one complained, because they wanted to revive the prestige of tiger and leopard riders!
Because the young master said that in those days, anyone who dared to offend my great man, Tianwei, would be punished no matter how far away he was!Now these Manchu Tartars have a population of only one million, but they occupy a huge country. As long as they are Han people, they have the responsibility to stand up and resist.

Jiang Shi knew his men's riding and archery skills, but he was thinking about how to approach the Tartars safely and cut off their heads with a knife. In order to boost morale, he shouted: "For the fame of tiger and leopard riding, kill!"

"For the fame of tiger and leopard riding, kill it!" All the soldiers also shouted, they clenched the bows and arrows in their hands, ready to shoot deadly feather arrows at any time.

It was getting closer, and seeing that there was only 200 meters left, Jiang Shi didn't dare to be careless, looked intently, and vaguely discerned that there were only 13 people on the other side, but there were nearly forty horses, all brandishing their weapons and screaming wildly. Some are still jumping on the galloping horses, and some are moving up and down with the jumping of the horses, as if they have become a whole with the sitting horses. Their movements are quick and capable, as natural as flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes Jiang Shi's heart beat faster. You can also ride a horse like this!
