After Liu Pei finished cleaning the battlefield, those who were willing to leave received silver and enough food, and they left with great gratitude. Liu Pei then also left the corpses all over the ground and turned to the north. As for the food and materials that could not be taken away, all of them were burned by Liu Pei.

The target of Liu Pei's operation this time was Ma Lanyu. This place is directly close to the side wall, and if Liu Pei can occupy this place, it will cause a great shock to the Houjin army. Because it means that the retreat of the Houjin army will be completely cut off!

If Huang Taiji didn't want to be blocked near Gyeonggi by the Qinwang army that surrounded him from all directions, he would probably have to consider withdrawing his troops as soon as possible. After all, there are still many troops of the Ming Dynasty at this time, even if the Houjin army can fight again, it will also be severely damaged if it is surrounded! And then Jin Jun can't afford to die! Their population numbers are hard wounds!

At this time, Liu Pei's number of war horses increased, which gave him more strength to go forward to reconnoitre. He directly expanded the reconnaissance range of the cavalry to a radius of 50 miles, covering the advance of the team towards Ma Lanyu.

Now there are two problems in front of Liu Pei. The first problem was that he didn't know how many defenders there were in Ma Lanyu. Liu Pei arranged for someone to look through the history books and found no one. The second problem was that the cavalry reported that they had repeatedly spotted the patrol horses of the Houjin army. It seems that the Houjin army is quite concerned about Ma Lanyu's defense.

After careful consideration, Liu Pei decided to capture a few prisoners to torture the information. For this reason, he sent his guards out again.

The 20 guards were divided into two groups and advanced to the north under the guidance of the cavalry. The cavalry team had found the cavalry of the Houjin army many times before. It's just that they didn't get the order to fight, so they could only quietly hide to the side. And the arrogant Houjin army did not seriously search the surroundings, so the two sides never made contact.

But this time is different, Liu Pei has to catch a few prisoners in a short time for intelligence. So the war between the scouts and cavalry is about to start.

In a small grove of woods, ten guards and a cavalry guide were gathering to discuss how to attack the Houjin Tartars. In the end, they decided to prepare for an ambush in the woods near the official road.

The group rode along the official road. The front has just passed

A squad of post-gold cavalry. They were ready to ambush them when the Golden Cavalry returned. So they had plenty of time to look at the terrain and lay an ambush.

The ambush was located in a small forest close to the official road. The official road followed the grove in an arc, wrapping the tip of the grove inside. The crowd was going to lie in ambush on the crooked official road.

The ambush site that the group was approaching, and when they were pointing out who was in which position, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves came from the opposite side of the official road. Several people couldn't help but be stunned, and before everyone could react, a team of Houjin Tartars ran out of the corner of the official road. They immediately recognized it, wasn't this the group of post-gold Tartars who had just passed? Why did you suddenly come back?

As soon as the Houjin Tartars turned the corner, they found a group of Ming soldiers stopping there in front, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously pulled the war horse. The two sides are separated by a distance of more than ten steps, you stare at me, I stare at you stunned.

Then both sides reacted almost simultaneously! The four men in the back row of the Houjin Tartar took off their bows and arrows and took the lead. The other six Houjin Tartars drew their weapons and jumped off their horses, roaring and rushing over! They were full of the feeling that a single charge could take out these Ming troops!

And Liu Pei's guards also drew their weapons and dismounted at the same time. Both sides knew that within a distance of more than a dozen steps, the war horse would not be able to run up speed at all, but would make the person riding on the horse passive. After all, standing on the ground is much more flexible than riding on a horse!

Six of the guards came up to meet them, while the other five drew their spurs and prepared to shoot. Rushing to the front was Liu Pei's deputy chief of guard. He is a native of Shandong, named Qin Gang, and has a good martial arts that has been passed down from his family. After layers of selection, he entered the guard camp.

It is said that Qin Gang's ancestor is Qin Qiong, a good man in Shandong. I don't know if Qin Gang is born with talent or if he wants to emulate his ancestors, Qin Gang is making two hammers! And he is proficient in the method, and he is also one of the best heroes in the guard camp!

Qin Gang drew his iron and jumped off his horse, and he had already seen that the bow and arrow of the Houjin Tartar were aimed at him. This is the benefit of the war-hardened post-golden tartars! They quickly figured out who the leader was, and if they shot the leader, their team would

Fall into chaos!

Qin Gang knew that the bow and arrow of the Houjin Tartar were very poisonous! Unlike the Mongols, the Houjin Tartars used two kinds of bows and arrows, one was a wide-headed heavy arrow, and the arrow was shaped like a flat shovel! There is also a form of a normal arrow, but it is twice as large as a normal arrow!

Wide-headed heavy arrows can do great damage when shot in places with no armor or thin armor! And ordinary heavy arrows are suitable for armor piercing! The advantage of these two types of heavy arrows is that the arrows are heavier and the trajectory is straighter. After being shot, the wound is large, and it is easy to kill the opponent.

Qin Gang knew that he would definitely be the first target to attack. So as soon as he hit the ground, he raised his left arm to cover his face! Unlike regular soldiers, the armor of the guards is customizable. Therefore, Qin Gang added a small arm shield to his left arm, which was specially used to protect the front door. Now this arm shield is used!

Qin Gang raised his arm to cover the door of his face, leaving only a line above the shield, revealing two fierce eyes staring at his opponent. Sure enough, as soon as Qin Gang's shield was raised to his face, two arrows shot at the shield in front and back! A wide-headed heavy arrow, an ordinary heavy arrow!

Huge force hit the shield on. Shengsheng fixed the pace of Qin Gang's charge in place! The arm also hit the face! Thankfully, though, the iron bracer only hit the mouth, not the nose! If you hit your mouth, your teeth hurt, and if you hit your nose, you won't be able to see the movements of the golden tartar clearly!

Then Qin Gang heard the screams behind him, and he knew that some of the people who were going to use the short guns were unlucky enough to be shot! It is very simple to take the short gun out of the saddle bag, but to have a pool of medicine and then pull up the dragon's head, it is a little slower than the Houjin Tartar directly drawing the bow and arrows, but this slower means casualties!

Houjin Tartar's arrows shoot very accurately! The cavalryman who led the way was shot between his eyes by a wide-headed heavy arrow, and immediately fell to the sky and died directly! In close proximity. The power of a bow and arrow is even stronger than that of a pistol. The other arrow was shot on the shoulder armor and bounced off the shoulder armor as the guard turned to dodge!

At this time, it was Qin Gang's turn to fight back! Four people raise their short guns and shoot down three of the four archery tartars! Only one Tartar reacted quickly and lay down on his back without being shot!
