Chapter 51: The Night Doesn't Close
Soon after, Yang Qili appeared on another small dirt slope, where several of his squads were located.
In addition to the five people who sacrificed to cover Zhu Chunchen's unlucky thing, there were a total of twenty-five people.
They used the woods to hide their figures, or lie on their backs, and were gathering strength for their actions.
Camouflage is really a piece of cake for the team members, and after lurking, even the comrades who are close to the opposite side have to struggle to find each other.
More than a hundred paces away, on a small dirt slope, there were three makeshift tents, with dozens of war horses tied to the sides, and the sides of the war horses were covered with large and small packages.
There was also a bonfire outside the tent, and a grill was built above it, and a pig was grilling.
There was a group of Qing soldiers sitting around the campfire, and they were untying their cotton armor and constantly fanning the wind with their captured pu fans, which was obviously extremely hot.
Yang Qili saw the distant scene clearly through the telescope, and he said in a low voice: "Dog's Tartar, it's really brave, so many people dare to brazenly barbecue here, not worried about someone sneaking up at all, I see that Tanma is preparing to eat a severed head meal." ”
Yang Qili immediately began to arrange, twenty-five people were divided into five groups, two groups attacked head-on, two groups outflanked from the left and right, and one group was ambushed on the road where the Qing soldiers escaped. Once there are Qing soldiers who have slipped through the net, they will deal with it, which is somewhat similar to the method of encircling three ques and fighting one.
After the assignment was completed, Yang Qili's first outpost immediately took their own actions and prepared to do so.
Among the 30 Qing soldiers, there were 5 white-armored soldiers, 10 horsemen, and 15 warriors. They were originally three squads, and they met on the way to chase the escaped rich man, so they got together temporarily, intending to eat and talk about how to divide the money.
As a scout horse of the Qing army, they took advantage of the reconnaissance of the Ming army's movements to loot the convoy of wealthy families who fled for their lives along the way, and made a windfall.
And the surrounding Ming army, as soon as they met them, they hid in the city one by one, so they were even more unscrupulous, and they didn't even need to reconnoiter anything.
When this group of thirty Qing soldiers were eating barbecue and arguing for money, suddenly accompanied by a gunshot, a fist-sized blood hole appeared in the head of a white-armored soldier waving thigh meat and shouting, and he died after a few convulsions on the spot.
Almost at the same time, there was a burst of gunfire, and lead bullets continued to hit the remaining Qing soldiers, these lead bullets were not dense, but these lead bullets flew towards the vital parts of the Qing soldiers as if they had eyes.
The Qing scouts were shot one after another, and they kept falling to the ground, either dead or seriously injured.
All this happened in an instant, and the Qing soldiers and scouts suddenly fell into a panic, and many of them immediately lay on the ground after being stunned for a moment, dodging lead bullets, while constantly looking around and observing the situation.
After a round of firing, the sound of muskets finally stopped, and the night guards began to reload. Under the gestural command of the leaders of each group, the four attack groups also began to slowly move towards the Qing army's camp tent.
They refilled the medicine while moving, and after a long time of hard training, the members of Long Xiang who did not collect at night could fill the medicine with their eyes closed, and gradually the distance between the two sides was shortened to more than sixty steps.
The Qing army was not a mediocre horseman, all of them were elite horsemen, although they suffered a sneak attack and lost more than half of them, they were still very tenacious.
After seeing that the other party had entered the range of the bow and arrow, the Qing army immediately bent the bow and shot the arrow. Several arrows sent out two rapid whistling sounds, two of which hit two of them each.
Not everyone in the Qing army can penetrate Yang in 100 steps, and being able to shoot the enemy from 60 steps away is already considered skillful, but it does not shoot at the fatal part of the night.
In addition, Long Xiang was well-equipped at night, and the feather arrows of the Qing soldiers only penetrated the armor, and did not penetrate much into the flesh.
The two injured Ye Bu covered their wounds, staggered back a few steps, and then pulled out the feather arrows and continued to walk.
After the gestures of the leaders of each group, Ye Bu leaned on the ground to find a place to hide his body, and he didn't speak, all using gestures to express his meaning.
After a few gestures, several Ye Bushu had already put up their muskets and aimed them at the two Qing soldiers who were observing with their heads out, and after a few gunshots, the two "early birds" were directly shot in the head.
The rest of the night did not take the opportunity to bend down and crawl up the hillside.
Several Qing soldiers on the hillside were very anxious, and they never expected to encounter the Ming army who played with firearms so well.
Under the command of a white-armored soldier Bird Language, several Qing soldiers ran to the war horses by the tent, one turned over and rode down the hill, shooting arrows at several prostrate night guards while riding, giving full play to the specialty of riding archery.
It's good to have a specialty, and you can add points to the exam in later generations, but they are facing more professional personnel.
only heard a "bang", and a projectile hit the left chest of a white-armored soldier who was galloping on a horse, and directly hit the piercing.
Projectiles leaked out of his back, and blood spurted out like arrows, and the white-armored soldier immediately fell off his horse, fell to the ground and died after a few convulsions.
After a few gunshots, several "meat detectives" of the Qing army scouts fell down in response, and they could see that several Qing soldiers on the hillside were grinning their teeth, and their archery movements were a little unfavorable.
Long Xiang's personnel who did not accept the first post continued to press forward, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, from thirty steps to twenty steps, and then to fifteen steps.
Yang Qili didn't intend to waste time with this group of Qing scouts and shoot at each other, in order to deal with this group of Tartars as soon as possible, Yang Qili rushed to a Qing soldier in a few steps, and the single knife in his hand swung out with all his might, and slashed down at the head of the Qing soldier.
The Qing scout was used to being arrogant along the way, where did he meet such a fierce Ming army, he couldn't dodge in a daze, and was slashed from his right shoulder to his left flank by this knife, and blood gushed out like a spring, splashing Yang Qili's body.
The other groups hurriedly followed, landing on the hillside and killing the remaining ten or so Qing soldiers. It was almost a one-on-one hand-to-hand fight, and Long Xiang's army fighting skills that were not closed at night had a chance to be fully utilized, and he cut this Qing soldier crying for his father and mother.
Among these Qing soldiers, the strongest combat effectiveness are a few white-armored soldiers, and now they have basically been cut down.
Yang Qili hooked his finger at the last white-armored soldier, gave a provocative look, and scolded your mother in Manchu.
Seeing that the white-armored soldier didn't seem to understand the meaning of "Niang", Yang Qili was angry and continued to scold angrily in Manchu: "I grass your forehead!" ”
"Enie" means mother in Manchu, and the white-armored soldier immediately understood, where did he receive such an insult, and shouted and rushed to Yang Qili.
Seeing that the other party was enraged, Yang Qili showed a cruel smile on his face, and slashed at the white-armored soldier with his knife.
The white-armored soldier was shocked and raised his knife to block, although he blocked Yang Qili's knife, but he was also shocked out of his hand, and his whole body was shaky.
Yang Qili chased up and stabbed again, the white-armored soldier had no weapon in his hand and hurriedly dodged, seeing the long knife flashing with cold light, his feet were soft, and the whole person was slashed and fell to the ground, rolled down from the small hillside, and then stopped moving.
A few Qing soldiers who wanted to get on their horses and run away were all shot by Ye Bu with their guns raised, and none of them escaped.

Note: In many films and televisions, the Manchus call their mothers Eniang, strictly speaking, there is no word "Eniang" in Manchu.
According to the record of Jin Qixiao, the seventh grandson of Prince Yongqi of Rongchun, in "Jin Qixiao Talks about the Manchus in Beijing", the words used to address the mother in Manchu generally are: E, E, Nir, and what.
Because the title of Eniang is similar to Eniang, "Eniang" was later used to call the mother-in-law.
