Chapter 15 Mantis Catching Cicadas

Lin Luo nodded and reported to Xiao Tianjian, "It's basically clear. Several tartar sentries captured yesterday have been recruited. This time, the Qing army entered the customs and sent more than 70,000 troops, of which less than 30,000 were armored soldiers. The rest were mostly followers or clothes slaves, and most of them were auxiliary soldiers. This time, Dorcon and Yue Tuo Bringing the main force to the giant deer is to kill Lu Xiangsheng. After solving Lu Xiangsheng, he will go to attack the soldiers and horses led by Gao Qiqi! This time, they brought most of the soldiers and horses of the Zhengbai flag with Dorgom as the flag owner and the inlaid white flag with Duoduo as the flag owner. At the same time, there are also some troops of the Zhenghongqi led by Yueto, and the Mongolian soldiers with some of the Han army and the Zhenghong and red flags in the two Mongolian Eight Banners! The total number of troops is about more than 30,000!

In addition, some of the soldiers and horses inlaid with red flags led by Du Du stayed in the area of Neiqiu County, watching the nearly 100,000 men and women and a large amount of grain and property that they had plundered since they entered the bandit, and the rest of the Tart soldiers were plundering around Zhending Mansion.

On the whole, the tartar didn't notice us, but focused on the high-level soldiers and horses stationed in the area of Jize, sent thousands of soldiers and horses to surround Julu County, while monitoring the movement of the high-level diving.

Xiao Tianjian turned around and went down the mound. He found a elew and asked Tietou to open a map. After a careful look, he pointed to the map and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with our arrangement this time. Lin Luo's scout brigade and Situ Liang and your cavalry battalion have made great contributions! Otherwise, if we bump in this time, not only can we not help, but we may be surrounded by the soldiers!

Since we have found out these news, let's make a plan. The fact that the handar does not find the existence of our main force is our advantage. We should make full use of this advantage. We should not only save Lu Xiangsheng, the officer and army, but also let the handi suffer a loss! ......”

Xiao Tianjian and the generals did not do anything. They ordered the soldiers and horses in the army to rest on the spot, and sent more scouts to block the surrounding areas to prevent them from being discovered by the sards. He and Li Xin and the generals sat on the ground and began to discuss.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Tianjian, Li Xin and the generals reached an agreement. They got up and clapped their hands and threw away the small branch in their hands and said, "That's it!" Everything that should be arranged just now has been arranged. You don't have to be afraid of the tartar soldiers. They are all raised by their fathers like us. They are people with flesh and blood. Of course, they are a little arrogant! Ha ha! They will still die if they are hit by cannonballs. As long as they hurt them, they will be afraid! With the quality of the soldiers of our Xingtian Army, they are no worse than them. They are not afraid of death, and our soldiers are also not afraid of death! Moreover, in terms of equipment and tactics, they are not our opponents. Since they are here, I will beat them hard. When they hear the name of our Xing Tianjun in the future, they will be ten times more careful!

In addition, I would like to emphasize that this battle is related to the reputation and future of our Xing Tianjun. There is no room for any of you to be careless or afraid. Kill me fiercely until you are soft! That's all! After another quarter of an hour, you will start to take action! We are going to have a rest across the Little Zhanghe River tonight!"

After listening to this, the generals immediately brushed their heels and saluted Xiao Tianjian, "I will follow the order of the general!"

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and said, "Go down and get ready!"

The generals dispersed and rushed to their respective soldiers and horses with their guards...

Seven or eight tartars rode while looking at the battlefield in the east, listening to the rumble of cannons and shouts from the battlefield. While slowly wandering outside the battlefield, they patrolled the western area of the battlefield. Their task was to scout the surrounding situation and prevent the sudden appearance of the Ming army from appearing to support Lu Xiangsheng. This soldier and horse, but for these dozen sentry riders, the direction sent to them this time is a little like they have nothing to do.

In their opinion, at present, their Qing army has gathered tens of thousands of troops in this area. With the courage of the Ming army, they do not dare to cross the road to death at all. Although it is not far from Shunde Mansion, the number of Ming army in Shunde Mansion is limited, and they dare not send troops to Julu to die at all, and the only thing at present is real. The only thing that was against their army was the Ming army of tens of thousands of people stationed south of Julu County, so they were asked to scout west. For their group, to put it bluntly, it was just to let them come out to grab something by the way. If they are lucky, they may meet some people who did not have time to escape, so that they There are women playing.

So this group of tartar whistles are a little loose on the road. Will they still brag about something about this battle? It is inevitable that they will talk about how many Han women they have ruined along the way. From time to time, they burst into laughter, and their faces are full of arrogance, slowly urging. They marched west with their mounts.

But when they walked to an earth mound and forest several miles away from the battlefield, the expert who led the team suddenly became alert, raised his hand to stop the whistle riding behind him, and began to look around vigilantly. The long march has made these Tari whistle riders develop quite good habits. At the same time, they also have a good sixth sense.

After the team led the team stopped their jokes, the rest of the sentry riders also suddenly became alert and immediately began to sort out their equipment. The three took out their bows, pulled out their arrows and put them on the bow string, while the other people took off the big guns or saber shields respectively. He quickly completed the preparations for the battle and began to look around nervously.

At this time, from the bushes on their left, several arrows suddenly flew out and rushed straight to these hand whistle riders, which made these hand whistle riders immediately exclaimed, and quickly plucked horses or waved weapons to block, but this distance from the bushes was really It's too close, but it's only more than 20 steps away, and it doesn't give them much preparation time at all.

In an instant, two whistle riders fell from the back of the horse. They were shot in the throat almost at the same time by the bow and had no chance to struggle. In addition, another whistler was hit by an arrow in the chest. The arrow penetrated the lock armor in his cotton armor and was deeply nailed into his lung leaves, but they did not ask him on the spot. With a scream in pain, he lost the saber in his hand and lay on the horse's neck.

"Enemy attack! Kill them and kill them all!" The leader of the team reacted quickly, dodged an arrow shot at him, and immediately waved the long gun in his hand and roared loudly.

The remaining few Tatar soldiers are also quite fierce. The sneak attack just now killed the two of them and seriously injured one, leaving only five people who can fight, but they did not escape immediately because of this. In their opinion, there must be few enemies, with their remaining five Personally, it's enough to deal with it. After suffering such a big loss, you have to get it back and find out who attacked them, otherwise their people will die in vain.

So the remaining five Tatar soldiers rushed to the bushes one after another, screaming one by one to find the enemy who attacked them and kill the enemy under their knives.

But at the moment when they rushed to the bushes, several more people stood up in a ditch in front of them. Everyone was holding a wipinged torch. The mouth slowly adjusted the direction as they moved, and then began to fire one after another.

Several unprepared tartan soldiers couldn't escape even if they had the ability of immortals. Suddenly, two people were shot immediately. A Tarot soldier was shot in his armpit. The projectile directly broke his ribs, crashed into his chest, and beat his lung leaves to pieces. He just had time to scream and spray. With a mouthful of blood with broken foam, he hit the war horse and fell to the ground and twitched violently. The other was shot in the abdomen. On the spot, his intestines were beaten out, and he also fell off the war horse. He rolled all over the ground in pain, and looked at the wound on his stomach in fear, trying to flow out in a hurry. The intestines were stuffed back into the broken belly, and his eyes were full of fear.

Although these sentry riders are not wearing heavy armor, everyone still wears a cotton armor with a lock armor. Generally speaking, even if they are shot or an arrow, their killing is limited. However, the kind of bullet they suffer today is powerful and frightening, almost direct. Then he flew them off the back of the horse, and the cotton armor and lock armor were like paper paste in front of such bullets, killing them all at once.

Although there were two other Tahrans, although they were not shot, the war horse was hit by bullets. Even if the injured war horse jumped up, he jumped up sadly, and immediately threw a Taar soldier off the horse's back. Then the war horse stepped on the knee with a hind hoof, and only heard a click of bone. Crisp, the calf of the hand soldier flipped at a strange angle, and the pain made the hand soldier hold his legs like a pig and screamed.

This time, the expert who led the team was scared. He didn't expect that before he took a picture of the enemy, he lost six people on his side, and he was the only one who hadn't been tricked. So he knew that he had fallen today and didn't care about the brothers who went down. He immediately pulled the horse and wanted to escape.

At this time, a few horses hissed from the bushes, and a few war horses rushed out. The rider on the back of the horse stabbed the horse's abdomen with the spurs on his heels, and the painful war horse flew to the remaining two Tarot soldiers. One rider shook his hand and threw out a short axe, and the short axe flew to This darman, as a result, the short axe did not hit the darman, but it hit the head of the darman sitting horse. The horse was seriously damaged. Even if he fell down, the dagger fell to the ground.

This specialist is also a man with excellent riding skills. At the moment of falling off the horse, he took off the pedal on his feet, and stood up with a roll, but the long gun in his hand was cut into the distance, so he immediately pulled out the waist knife at his waist and stared at the bull's eye and rotated. After a circle, I wanted to find a war horse and run away.

However, at the same time, the injured Tasari soldier was also lifted down by the frightened war horse. After falling from the horse, the Tasman immediately turned over and jumped up and ran to this special. Because of the sudden incident, the spare horses brought by these Tas soldiers were also frightened and ran in all directions, so that they could not take it immediately. At the empty horse, several sneak attackers rushed over quickly and surrounded them in the middle.

The two thircon soldiers saw that it was impossible to escape from the horse, so they immediately raised the waist knife in their hands back to back and rotated to resist these sneakers.

Several sneak attackers did not fight with them. They bowed and arrows at them from afar or threw flying axes at them. Some people took out the prepared ropes and were ready to throw.

The result was three times and five times divided by two. The two tartarmen were also turned to the ground. One of the special leg was hit by an arrow and was shot through on the spot. The other tartarmen was hit by a flying axe and fell to the ground with a broken tendon fracture.

The Janda was then covered with a rope. The sneak attacker accelerated as soon as he patted the horse. The war horse dragged the Janda and flew up. He was dragged to the ground and rolled all over the ground. Suddenly, he was dragged to open the skin and made a scream worse than killing pigs.

A sneak attacker circled the war horse, chopped over the Tatar soldier who was still lying on the horse's back and tried to escape with a knife. He looked around, raised his hand to command several men and began to clean the battlefield. He chased back the escaped tar horses, quickly chopped off a few tars' heads and stripped them off. Only a few headless corpses and a few dead horses are left.

As for the two injured tars, they were directly tied up and dragged behind the horse and ran in the direction of the mound. When they were dragged behind the mound, the two tarmen were already dragged to the flesh and blood, which was unbearable.
