Chapter 426: Going in circles
The sound of horses' hooves sounded like a dense drumbeat.
Wang Shikang controlled the horse, but his mind had already turned to other places.
In the battle with Zhang Yongnian just now, nearly 300 people died here, and a large part of them were his Han soldiers.
If you want to say that you are unhappy, Wang Shikang is of course very unhappy - "Kulecha, a barbarian, is used to using Lao Tzu as a slave, and he is used to letting Lao Tzu's people be cannon fodder. β
Wang Shikang was originally a thousand households in the Chu Dynasty, and although he got a military position after the defeat and surrender, his soldiers were still under the Manchurian banner. Especially when he works under Kulecha, he has always been regarded as a coated slave by the other party.
Two years ago, the Qing Dynasty was established with the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. Wang Shikang moved his mind and wanted to enter the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. No matter how late it is, once Qin Chengye surrenders, the Manchu people will pay less attention to themselves.
It's not a firearms battalion.
But today, nearly half of the five hundred elites under his command were lost all of a sudden.
If this kind of casualty had been put aside, Wang Shikang would have led the people to escape...... No, what fool would fight two thousand with a thousand men before that?
It's a pity that in this kind of small battle with only a thousand people, the control of the main general is extremely strong. Under Kulecha's nose, nearly half of Mo died, even if all his subordinates were exhausted, Wang Shikang didn't dare to put a fart.
In his opinion, Kuleta is deliberately depleting his own strength, wanting to use his own people as coating and cannon fodder forever.
Thinking like this, Wang Shikang had the idea of preserving his strength.
But at this time, Zhang Yongnian's men and horses behind him were still chasing, rather than falling behind, it was better to grab the front and win the great merit of killing Wang Xiao!
After running for a while, a mountain appeared in front of me, and the sound of waves could be faintly heard in the distance.
Wang Shi Kangce rode his horse to Kulecha's side and shouted, "That is Jieshi Mountain. β
Kuletsa narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you ask about the fat pig?" Was there an ambush? β
"Nope." Wang Shikang said: "The last general proposed to chase him separately, the general chased Wang Xiao, and the last general made a detour to the south to rob him." β
Kuleta commanded: "You chase from the north, and I will circle from the south." β
"Wow!"
Wang Shikang received the order and sneered in his heart.
- Barbarian, play with Lao Tzu, you are still tender.
Seeing more than 400 Eight Banner soldiers turning south with Kulecha, Wang Shikang shouted: "Brothers, chase with all your might!" Don't cherish the horsepower, let's cut off Wang Xiao's head and present it to Lord Zhang Jing......"
His men immediately understood what he meant.
Snatch this credit, get rid of Kulecha, and get ahead in the Qing Dynasty from then on.
"Drive!"
In the midst of loud cheers, Wang Shikang's team became faster.
turned around Jieshi Mountain, but saw that there was no human figure on the road.
Wang Shikang frowned.
Suddenly......
"Bang!"
"Bang ......"
A row rang out, and a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses screaming.
Wang Shikang was shocked and was ambushed in the straight road.
But when he turned his head to look, he saw that Wang Xiao still only had more than 100 horsemen. He was riding his horse on the hillside, looking at him condescendingly.
"Damn, such a few people dare to stop and look down on us." Wang Shikang shouted: "Kill! β
"Kill ......"
On the hillside, a hundred guards raised their long knives, rode down, and rushed over without hesitation in the face of more than 200 puppet Manchu cavalry.
The advantage brought by the topography made up for the lack of numbers at this moment.
The tremendous inertia of rushing down the hillside pushed the escort to smash through the defense line of the puppet Manchu cavalry.
People turn on their backs.
Blood splattered.
Wang Shikang exclaimed: "Stop them!" β
"They're going to turn around and join the two thousand, stop them!"
β¦β¦
Wang Xiao leaned down and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
He was surrounded by guards, and beside him was Qin Xiaozhu.
It was the first time he had actually entered the center of the battlefield, and the smell of blood and the sound of fighting made his head blow up a little.
More about excitement and nervousness.
He raised his head slightly, glanced at the battlefield, and planned to find a suitable target to fight a dozen with his firearms.
Qin Xiaozhu pressed his head down again.
"Be careful." She spoke quickly.
Wang Xiao could only see the horse's neck, and the hooves underneath the blood and dirt on the ground.
Then, the horse's speed slowed down a little, and a scream was heard from ahead.
Suddenly, Wang Xiao felt a piece of warmth pour on his neck, and the hand pressing on his head loosened.
He was startled and looked up.
"Xiaozhu!"
A roar, extremely worried.
Wang Xiao turned his head, but saw Qin Xiaozhu slashing down with a knife, slashing an enemy soldier to death.
And there were already five fewer guards in front of them.
Wang Xiao turned his head to look, trying to figure out who was dead.
The next moment, a sharp arrow came at him.
"Bell."
Qin Xiaozhu blocked it with a knife.
At the same time, two more horsemen rushed towards this side.
The long knife in Qin Xiaozhu's hand flew over, and he killed another person.
The knife in the other enemy's hand had already slashed in front of Wang Xiao.
Qin Xiaozhu's face did not change, and he immediately mentioned Wang Xiao to himself. With a twist of the long knife in his hand, he forcibly chopped off the palm of the enemy's hand.
"Ah......h
In the midst of the screams, another enemy's long knife slashed over on the other side, pointing directly at Wang Xiao.
Qin Xiaozhu's hand was already old, so he didn't hesitate to block it with his arm.
She didn't frown, she looked like she was used to.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and a pool of blood splattered from the sword-wielding foe's brain......
The front is empty.
From the time I rushed down the hill to now, it was actually only a short moment.
The remaining 40 or so cavalry of the escort army broke through the defense line and fled in the direction of Zhang Yongnian......
"Stop them!" Wang Shikang shouted, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Wang Xiao's escape brought more than 70 casualties to his side, which surprised him a little.
But he estimated the distance and was still confident that he would intercept Wang Xiao.
The ones who straddled on his side were all Jurchen horses, which were much faster than the war horses of the Chu Dynasty.
"Shoot the ......"
The next moment, the more than 40 guards suddenly turned around, bypassed the south of Jieshi Mountain, and fled eastward.
Wang Shikang was furious, pulled the reins, and chased after him first.
"Chase!"
The horse's hooves flew and ran around Jieshi Mountain for a small half circle, and the narrower the road, the more annoyed Wang Shikang becameβthe credit that he almost got flew like this.
"Wang Xiao, if you have a kind, you will fight with me! What kind of hero is it to go around in circles......"
In the snowstorm, someone suddenly chanted a poem in a loud voice.
"Thousands of miles of cold light and snow!"
Word by word, slowly but forcefully.
Wang Shikang was startled, looked up, and saw a cold light flashing in the air, as if someone had flown out of the canopy on the side of the mountain.
Wang Shikang lifted the reins, and the horse raised its front hooves and neighed.
The next moment, a spear had slammed into his chest!
"Uh......"
At the same time, the second line of the poem was read.
"The dawn of the three sides is in danger!"
Qin Xuance finished singing a poem, his body fell on Wang Shikang's saddle, his left hand lifted his knife, his hand rose and fell, and a head flew high.
"Haha!"
With a spear pick, the tip of the spear picked up Wang Shiyong's head, and Qin Xuance galloped wildly.
"General!"
The puppet Manchu cavalry was stunned for a while, and they all held their bows and shot arrows at Qin Xuance.
In the rain of arrows, the man and the horse had already run far away......
