The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 77
At this time, Jiang Tao had already received the news from the front, and he was shocked when he heard the words: "Jiang Shi is too reckless, tiger and leopard riders are the elite of the whole army, as long as a little training, everyone will be the seedlings of middle-level officers in the future, and one person will be lost Will not work."

Thinking that the Qing court had sent thousands of elite cavalry to encircle and suppress him, Jiang Tao was speechless. He was just a small bandit, and he didn't occupy the county all the time, but just robbed some property. Why should he be so nervous?Why bother?
It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Jiang Tao forced himself to calm down. He knew that it was useless to die suddenly. Although he really wanted to save the tiger and leopard cavalry, he knew the truth that one hair could affect the whole body. The black cavalry is definitely not what it is now The black tiger army can compete head-on, unless the black tiger army has the terrain.

"I hope Jiang Shi won't defeat the tiger and leopard cavalry!" He sighed in his heart. At this time, all the commanders were by his side, and he couldn't help asking: "Who has a good plan to rescue the tiger and leopard cavalry?"

Wei Donglai really wanted to say not to save the tiger and leopard cavalry, but he didn't want to offend the "adopted son party". He has already seen that the future black tiger army's adopted son party is the most powerful, and the black tiger general can reuse the adopted son party. It was obvious that he had no choice but to keep silent.

"My dear brother, Lao Niu will take the black tiger guards to meet the Tartar cavalry, I don't believe it, I won't come back if I don't cut off a hundred Tartar heads." Niu Mang said loudly, unable to speak. pride.

Jiang Tao just wanted to keep his mouth shut. If he was allowed to go, heihuwei, who had just been added, would not even be able to come back. Moreover, the blackhuwei is currently stationed in the black tiger village. It was all cold, and he ignored it directly: "Do other people have ideas? Don't worry about it, just tell me."

Now the low-level officers of the Black Tiger Guard have been replaced by Jiang Tao's brothers, and Niu Mang was bored in the rear. When he arrived at Suishi Ridge, Jiang Tao thought to himself: "Just put my brother in Xueyan's Iron Spear Battalion. , so that he won’t be idle forever.”

Thinking of his friendship with Jiang Shi, Jiang Wuhui couldn't help but said, "General, if you want to save the tiger and leopard cavalry, you can only use cavalry. Now that the black tiger cavalry is short of cavalry, and Uncle Yebushou is in the camp for training, they can barely go and have a look. .”

"Well, it makes sense, but if you don't reap the army overnight, it won't be useful for a long time. You don't need to make unnecessary sacrifices. That's all. Three people will be drawn from the tiger and leopard riders who came back, and they will send a message to Jiang Shi and return to the army immediately. Don't fight with them." The enemy cavalry is fighting, damn it, let's see how the general will deal with him when he comes back!" Jiang Tao became more and more angry as he spoke, and yelled directly.

"General, calm down, the key now is to defend the Suishi Ridge, otherwise our army will be in danger!" Wei Donglai took the opportunity to persuade.

Jiang Tao sighed, and sternly shouted: "What the military adviser said is absolutely true, but as long as everyone works together, even if the Tatars increase their troops by [-], they will not be able to take down the Suishi Ridge. Send an order and the whole army is on alert. If anyone dares to disturb our army's morale Beheaded, if anyone dares to retreat before the battle, beheaded, if anyone dares to cooperate with the enemy, beheaded, and then order the rear to speed up the delivery of supplies, time will not wait!"

Three indescribable categorical decisions in a row made all the commanders take a deep breath. Although the black tiger looks scary, he has always treated people generously. They don't want to be murderous all of a sudden today. They are not used to it, but they also know that today's Regardless of the situation, they dared not slack off, and answered the order loudly: "Follow the general's order!"

Jiang Tao nodded, and wanted to let the leaders go down to prepare for the battle. He didn't want Wei Donglai to stop him and said, "Wait a minute, commanders. Wei estimated that there will be heavy snow in five days. Although the gravel ridge is steep, the vegetation is withered and yellow. If the Tartars set fire , it will be too late to put out the fire, so why talk about killing the Tartars?"

When Jiang Tao heard the words, he just wanted to scold Niang Xipi, and he didn't say it sooner or later, but he said it at this time, isn't this adding to the chaos?Hey, is Wei Junshi also a great talent who knows astronomy and geography?

Jiang Tao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and directly ordered: "Mr. Wei immediately took the whole army to fire prevention and built firebreaks, but there will be heavy snow in five days, what about the materials in Heihuzhai?"

"General, don't worry. Wei has already prepared for this matter. Don't worry, general! Add more materials to ensure that the Tartars will never come back." Wei Donglai said lightly.

But Jiang Tao couldn't think of what the military division could do, so he simply nodded, and waited for all the generals to leave, Jiang Tao hurriedly paced back and forth in the military tent, still puzzled, and after a quarter of an hour, Wei Donglai came back unexpectedly, laughing He said: "The general is overjoyed. Now that the Tartar cavalry has come, our army must add at least several thousand strong and more than ten thousand people. As long as we defeat these thousands of cavalry, who can stop us in the future?"

The second monk Jiang Taozhang couldn't make up his mind, and asked suspiciously: "It would be great if it was really that simple. What's the military master thinking?"

................................. ..
Jiang Xin suddenly heard shouts, and shouted without turning his head: "Brothers, let's retreat."

After running for two miles, the enemy cavalry were still chasing him wildly, and the two armies were even closer.

500 meters!
300 meters!
200 meters!
Jiang Xin rode a thousand-mile horse and was far ahead, but the brothers under his command gradually fell behind. Seeing that the Tartar cavalry were about to catch up, his heart moved and he shouted: "Brothers, stab the horse with a dagger, hurry up!"

He knew that this order would cause the loss of dozens of horses, but the horses could be found again, while the brother of the tiger and leopard rider died in battle, but he could not be resurrected from the dead.

Immediately there were dozens of sad neighing sounds, and the horses were stimulated, and they all ran desperately, throwing the enemy away.

After running for twenty miles at a stretch, most of the fine horses were foaming at the mouth and collapsed on the ground. Jiang Xin broke out in a cold sweat, fearing that the enemy cavalry would overtake him again. It's five miles, and the place is not very flat, which is not conducive to galloping horses, so I can rest assured.

"Brothers, let's take the path." Jiang Xin hurriedly tied Jiang Shi to the thousand-mile horse, led the horse, and walked towards the path. The rest of the tiger and leopard riders either carried their dead brothers on their backs, or carried weapons, and hurriedly followed. .

Looking at the deserted hills around him, Jiang Xin felt very uncomfortable. Not only did he lose ten brothers, but he also lost most of his horses in this battle.

Is a tiger and leopard rider who has lost his horse still a tiger and leopard rider?
"Vice Commander, the general ordered everyone to return to the army as soon as possible, and wait for us." At this moment, Jiang Xin heard a few yells, and looked intently, it was actually a brother under the command of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

It turned out that the three tiger and leopard riders who were ordered to investigate Jiang Shi and the others happened to see them. Jiang Xin didn't dare to stay longer, so he joined the three and continued walking. He inspected the corpses of the Tartars just now and found that the Tartars were wearing cotton armor. There is also a layer of iron armor inside, no wonder the feathered arrows of the tiger and leopard cavalry can't kill the Tartars.

Moreover, he also specially brought back the bows and arrows used by the Tartars. Those bows and arrows are much larger than ordinary bows and arrows, and the arrows are very heavy. They couldn't stop them, so it was conceivable that Tiger and Leopard Riders would take revenge, but not now.

...............................

Tu Duoji, the leader of Xianglan Banner, looked at more than a dozen subordinates whose heads had been cut off, and felt that this was the greatest shame in his life. The dignified fourth-rank leader was beheaded by some bandits, and none of them was left behind. Looking at the bandit's corpse, thinking of Wohe's previous record, he felt impossible.

Wohe is the most valiant general under his command, beheading the general and capturing the flag is always a disadvantage, how could he die without knowing why today?Could it be that these Han people are cheating?According to reports from the chasing subordinates, those bandits all shaved their heads, but there were only dozens of them. Could it be that the monks from Shaolin Temple rebelled?
Tu Duoji didn't feel like it. He heard from the nearby people that the bandits from Heihuzhai led the rebellion. At this time, he was commanding two thousand cavalry and one thousand green cavalry. How could these bandits be able to resist? Don't hesitate , yelled violently: "Kill, kill me, don't leave a single one!"
