Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Third Elder Brother, Enemy Attack

"Third elder brother, it's almost dawn, do you want to rest in front?"

The one who spoke was Lazhang Jingcherg, whose father was one of the four ministers, and his mother was Nurhachi's third sister, so he and Abai were cousins.

Abai looked around, anxious, but also knew that the soldiers were tired from the night's march, so he agreed to Cherge's request.

"Send someone to talk to Xiao Thirteen, so that he doesn't slack off, and he must guard against a sneak attack by the Ming people."

"Got it, Third Brother."

Cherg nodded in agreement, beat his horse and ran forward.

"Little Thirteen" is Cherge's younger brother Chaohar, although he is only seventeen years old this year, but his uncle Nuerhachi likes this nephew very much, so he took it by his side when he was young, and when he was fifteen years old, he gave Niu Lu Ezhen, which is the smallest Niu Lu Ezhen in Eight Banners.

But Cherg didn't like this brother very much, his favorite was the younger brother Curb Pilon, that little guy was very smart, Ama often said that the most promising of these dozen brothers in the family in the future was Curb Billon.

Chaohar is leading people to explore the road in front at the moment, the road under the feet was built by the Ming army with the people decades ago, and now it is dilapidated, the road is basically overgrown with weeds, and many sections are also dug up and destroyed by the Ming army, so Chaohar They are very careful all the way, for fear that they will lose the horse's hooves and hurt the mount if they are in a hurry.

For the cavalry, the war horse is their life.

This time, the whole army with a white flag was dispatched, although it was impossible for the Ming army to appear in this area, but Abai still scattered the Tanma for ten miles, and divided it into several groups one after another, very cautious.

This is to fully learn the lesson of the defeat of the Zhengbai Flag Department, so deployed, even if the Ming army really appears, the white flag can also respond quickly, with the main force to gather and annihilate the Ming army.

........

"Be careful!"

A ditch in front of him forced Chaohar to jump off his horse, and he told his men to be careful and rest in front, and then walked towards the bank of the Anping River on the side of the road. His water bladder ran out of water.

The horses were all elite armoured soldiers, and their physical strength was much better than that of the rest of the soldiers, but they were exhausted after a night's exploration, so they scattered their horses on the banks of the river, leaning against trees or sitting on grass, taking out food and water and swallowing them heavily.

After filling the river with water, Chaohar wiped the water on his face with both hands, and it was suddenly cool, and those little tiredness were also swept away. At this time, the east has already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and it should take less than half an hour for the sun to come out.

After exhaling, Chaohar walked back to the side of the road, ready to send someone to tell the third elder brother that they were okay ahead, but suddenly heard a few war horses drinking water by the riverbank suddenly neigh, he turned his head in surprise, and he was shocked at this look.

In the weeds by the riverside, there were people hiding, not only hiding, but also attacking their soldiers who were herding their horses.

"Someone is robbing a horse!"

Chaohar screamed, but suddenly something spewing sparks appeared out of nowhere and threw it at his feet.

What is it?

Suddenly, Chaohar just stared blankly, his mouth open, and before he could say anything, he heard a "boom" explosion, and countless iron nails broke through the air and flew straight from the black thing!

There was a muffled sound of "fluttering", and an iron nail passed through the neck of a golden soldier, and the words that his throat was about to shout turned into blood rushing out from both ends.

The injured Jin Bing subconsciously raised his hand to hold the wound, but the blood couldn't be stopped, so he could only squat on the ground with his neck covered in vain, but saw the blood spurting from his neck, making a "snort" sound.

"Enemy attack!"

Chaohar reacted, screaming, and hurriedly took out the horn on his waist and blew it into the sky.

The horn sounded, and the golden soldiers and horses in the rear were all alarmed, turned over and got on the horses under the horses, drew their knives and bows on the horses, and rushed to the front of the horses.

"Blow the trumpet, there is an enemy attack!"

Cherge's eyes flashed, and he slammed his mount, and suddenly, the horn sounded incessantly.

"Enemy attack!"

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the Golden Soldier Brigade tumbled like an earth dragon from front to back, and the sound of armor and weapons clashing filled the entire road.

The junior officers kept shouting back and forth, and the senior officers rushed to the banner where the banner owner was.

.........

After learning the location of the White Flag Department from the Tanma Bayin who had been scattered earlier, Wei Xuewen asked Xiao Bozhi to order his troops to rush to the place where the Jin army must pass through in advance, and wanted to be caught off guard by the White Flag.

Although this battle was to lure the enemy, if the Jin army could hammer them first when they were unprepared, Xiao Bozhi was willing, so he agreed to Wei Xuewen's invitation to fight, and ordered him to lead his troops to the north immediately.

It's a pity that the Jin army was very vigilant and sent a few rounds of horses before and after, which not only made it impossible for Wei Xuewen to sneak attack, but also exposed the danger.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, after weighing it repeatedly, Wei Xuewen gave up the plan of sneaking up on the main force with the white flag, and instead ordered the attack and killing of the Jin army.

In the face of the sudden appearance of the Ming cavalry, the Jin army did not retreat to the rear after a short period of panic, because they knew that once they retreated, the Ming cavalry would inevitably follow them to break into the main force that was not yet ready, so they resisted bravely, intending to buy time for the rear brigade.

Chaohar was also fatal, and seven or eight soldiers around him were shot by the firearms of the Ming army, but he didn't do anything at all. After the panic, Chaohar grabbed a war horse and burst out, and in the field where the vision was still unclear, there were Ming army horses from time to time.

"Kill!"

Wei Xuewen rushed to the front first, his eyes widened, and he jumped out of his horse and cut off the head of a golden soldier whose abdomen was shot by an iron nail in a mine.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of soldiers of the Ming army untied the strips of cloth on the mouths of their mounts, and struck out from their hiding places, shouting and killing with earth-shattering sounds.

"Master, there is an ambush!"

"Third elder brother, it's the Ming Army!"

“......”

The sky is not yet bright, the four can be seen only a few dozen zhang, the distance is still dark, the Jin army up and down I don't know how many Ming troops came, but listening to the front shouting to kill the sky, they are all alarmed.

Abai and the generals with white flags stood on their horses, looking at the front of the shouts of killing, and everyone looked solemn.

"Little Thirteen will be fine, right?" Abay muttered.

"Third elder brother, I'll pick up Little Thirteen!" Cherge was also worried about his brother's safety, so he flicked his horsewhip and led people to rush over.

In the ambush, the results of the Ming army were not great.

Part of the white flag of the horse is the flag owner Abai's red armor swing tooth La's own soldiers, many of them are about forty veterans, all of them are fierce people, everyone has a riding bow in their hands, on both sides of the saddle, hanging three or four bags of arrows, in the face of the sudden blow of the Ming army, these fierce and cunning veterans quickly stabilized their positions after panicking, so that the Ming army did not have much upper hand.

After all, the roads and fields here were rainy, which made it difficult for the Jin soldiers to move, but it also limited the Ming army.

When many Ming soldiers rushed out to prepare to cut down the Jin soldiers, they had to slow down their horses because the road was difficult to travel, and some were even forced to dismount, so that the killing and injury of the Jin soldiers and horses was very limited.

"Withdraw!"

Wei Xuewen decisively ordered a retreat after chasing and killing the Jin army's Niu Lu was really unsuccessful.
