Chapter 50: Gathering the Army's Heart

(Chapter 49 is inexplicable 404, and I am applying to unblock it....... )

After the Yongwei battalion was equipped with gunpowder for fixed paper tubes, the shooting speed was faster, and after a few rounds of shooting, the Qing cavalry of 300 people was wiped out one by one.

The disparity in the results of several rounds made many soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion stunned, including some veterans who had fought in the border army. I didn't expect that the Tartar, who was extremely vicious in the impression, would be completely turned out so easily, which is simply unimaginable.

Back then, many people in the border army were really swords and guns with the Eight Banners Army, and the fight was very tragic, and it was extremely difficult to cut off a head, but I didn't expect to kill a group of people with a few firearms now.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect this firearm to be so powerful, I was a little worried at first!" Huang Degong laughed rudely.

Sun Yingyuan also took the opportunity to publicize: "Your Highness is far-sighted, and in the future, you will be full of military achievements, drink wine and eat meat!" ”

"Yes, I will follow His Highness in the future, and I will definitely make contributions in the future, eat and drink spicy food!" A group of soldiers from the Brave Guard Battalion laughed.

Zhu Cihong also grinned and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, quickly clean up the battlefield, there is a big battle ahead." ”

At this time, a group of people who were being chased hurriedly came over to see it, led by a sentry officer, President Qian, Yang Qili.

Yang Qili is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and although his name is elegant, he looks very strong. Originally, it was an old night in Jinzhou that was not accepted, but he was selected and transferred to Jingying because of his outstanding ability, which made his old boss "distressed" for a while.

Yang Qili occupied the first place many times in the assessment of Longxiang's night, and was appointed as the first sentinel Qianzong.

Zhu Cihong asked, "What's the matter?" Why are you being chased by the Tartars? ”

He didn't believe that his Long Xiang would be incompetent to such a point if he didn't collect it at night, and he was discovered and chased by the Qing cavalry in a disguised state.

According to Yang Qili's report, after the Qing army moved south from Changping, the Qing army was full of plundering Qing troops around Gyeonggi, and the people who did not accept the first post at night found Zhu Chunchen hiding in a farmhouse.

Zhu Chunchen is the leader of the Beijing camp, and many soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion from the Beijing camp know him.

Yang Qili, the commander of the first outpost, gathered the whole outpost to attack and kill the surrounding Qing troops at night, escorted Zhu Chunchen all the way to the capital, and assumed the rear.

After the Qing army discovered that there was a Ming cavalry escorting a senior official, they immediately sent a cavalry from Niu Lu to chase and kill.

Fortunately, Long Xiang had outstanding combat strength, and at the cost of losing five Qing cavalry, he killed seventy-seven Qing cavalry and broke out of the encirclement.

Listening to Yang Qili's eloquent words, Zhu Cihong suddenly burst out, kicked Yang Qili over, and said angrily: "Idiot! Who told you to save him? Your mission is to be responsible for reconnoitring enemy intelligence, not to save people, if you want to save a big official and invite merit, then you should get out of the Yongwei camp as soon as possible! ”

Seeing that the crown prince was angry, all the night did not accept it and fell to the ground, even Xu Sheng, who was the leader of Long Xiang's night non-collection, also knelt down.

Zhu Cihong saw that they were stunned and a little incomprehensible, so he continued: "I might as well tell you again, that Zhu Chunchen has been beheaded by this palace, and that kind of goods who are afraid of the enemy and retreat, ten lives are not as important as one of my soldiers!" ”

Not only the members of Long Xiang who did not collect at night, but also the people in the surrounding Yongwei Battalion were also moved when they heard the words, and they were all moved.

No one could have imagined that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would regard them so important, and many people secretly swore in their hearts at this moment that they would follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death.

Although Yang Qili was kicked over, he was even more moved in his heart at this time, he had been suffering from the unfair treatment of his superiors in the border army, and he didn't treat them as people at all, and only when he divided military merits and silver, he showed a trace of "love" for him.

The crown prince's words made Yang Qili feel like crying, he hurriedly got up and knelt beside Zhu Cihong, and said: "The capital crime of despicable duty has failed to live up to His Highness's expectations!" ”

Seeing him like this, Zhu Cihong couldn't bear to punish him anymore, helped him up, and said solemnly: "Remember, you are the most elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty and even in the whole world!" If you don't atone for your sins, find a place to judge yourself! ”

Sun Yingyuan sighed secretly in his heart, although the crown prince is young, this means of winning the hearts of the army is really handy, it seems that he is not with the wrong person.

Twenty miles away from Xizhimen, there is a forest, which is adjacent to Shijingshan, and the nearby terrain is high and uneven, with many slopes.

On a hillside overgrown with plants, Yang Qili was holding a telescope to observe the surroundings.

This telescope was created by Zhu Cihong when he ordered the military battle bureau, and now it is equipped in the Yongwei battalion.

When I got the telescope, everyone was curious, and after using it, they all praised it, this thing is simply clairvoyance, and it can actually see things miles away, and the Yongwei camp calls the telescope "Thousand Miles Realm".

After a few bird calls, a person came out of a forest in the distance and came to Yang Qili.

Yang Qili said in a deep voice: "How is it, have you found a tartar?" ”

One of them took off the green grass ring he was carrying on his head and said, "Lord Hui, no enemy camp was found within a radius of five miles, only a group of Tartar probe horses were found in the southwest, and the number was about thirty. ”

Yang Qili nodded and said, "If there are Tartars probing the horses, it means that there must be a large group of Tartars around, continue to monitor them, and report back to me immediately if there is any movement." ”

The night did not relent, and immediately turned away, and disappeared into the jungle after three turns.

A night boss beside Yang Qili asked, "My lord, when are we going to do it?" ”

Yang Qili said: "Don't worry, first send someone to contact a few other generals, let them lead the team back, and eat this tartar together." ”

The general was puzzled: "My lord, there are only ten of us in the team, it is not difficult to kill them!" ”

Yang Qili glanced at him and said, "Didn't you listen to His Highness?" Our lives are very valuable, is it necessary to risk sacrificing for the sake of these thirty dog tartars? The other teams are not far away and will arrive soon, so wait! ”

Yang Qili used to do night in Jinzhou, Liaodong Town, and went out of the city all the year round to investigate the movement of Jiannu, and from time to time cut off a few heads to come back to receive the reward money, because he was unwilling to share the reward money with the boss and was recommended to the Beijing camp by the old boss "endured the pain", and was later selected to the Yongwei camp.

According to his understanding of the Qing army's horse scouts, although it was no problem for him to deal with thirty Qing army scouts at night, Yang Qili knew that his task was to reconnoiter the enemy's military situation, not to find the other party's horse scouts.

These 30 Qing army scouts had to be cleaned up at one time, and they couldn't leave them alive to report the news.

Of course, it is best to catch a few live mouths from the spies of the Qing army, so as to inquire about the location of the Qing army's camp and the reality of the troops.
