Chapter 443: First Sight and First Battle

The mountain pass is full of messy horse hoof traces, it seems that there are a lot of Qing army spies coming in, Chang Yu frowned, the horse turned around near the mountain pass, waved his hand, and scattered with the attendants to investigate.

"Overseer, west" At this time, one of the attendants raised his hand and pointed to the west, and everyone looked at it, but they looked puzzled, and did not find anything unusual.

"Smoke, smoke, smoke......" Chang Yu squinted and stared, and sure enough, a wisp of green smoke loomed at the foot of the mountain in the distance to the west, and it was really difficult to find if you didn't look carefully.

The Ming army's strong wall is clear and there is no one in a radius of dozens of miles, and the military does not collect it at night, and acts cautiously without leaking traces.

Chang Yu, Wu Zhong, and Li Tiezhu looked at each other, and the murderous aura spread in their eyes.

Twenty miles northwest of Ningyuan City, at the foot of the Tiger Mountain, in a sheltered mountain col, more than a dozen healthy horses are exploring the grass roots in the snow, not far from the side of more than a dozen big men around a bonfire, a few wild meat on the fire, is bubbling oil, the big men are full of greasy hands are feasting, sometimes even poured a few sips of spirits, from time to time shouting something, sometimes laughing.

These people are a group of scouts of the Qing army, hiding in this mountain col at this time to avoid the wind, drinking wine and eating meat, making a loud noise, but they don't take the Ming army of Ningyuan City, which is close at hand, in their eyes.

Of course, they don't put the Ming army in their eyes, their subordinates are defeated, and they flee from the wind, and those Ming army detectives never dare to fight with them head-on, as long as they find traces, they will avoid it from afar, and when they can't avoid it, they will also run away or be captured and killed by them.

Shhh, suddenly a Qing army spy who peed in the distance, whistled, looked out of the mountain, everyone hurriedly got up and looked, suddenly stunned, a mile away, more than 20 horsemen were coming slowly.

What the hell is this person, it doesn't look like their own people, the Qing army spies immediately walked towards the war horse, stretched out their hands and pulled out their waist knives, turned over on the horse, and gathered together to stare at the group of people.

Chang Yu stared with his eyes, staring at the Qing army spies in the mountain col, some were wrapped in animal skins, some were in leather armor, their eyes were fierce, rough and barbaric, it turned out that this was the legendary Tartar, the legendary invincible Qing warriors, and the TV series he watched in later generations, those soldiers with long pointed hats and colorful armor were very different, maybe because they were Tanma irregulars.

But it is not like the weak and incompetent Qing army in the late Qing Dynasty who wore bloated cotton clothes, was emaciated, and had a long ponytail, at this time, the more than 20 people in front of them exuded two words all over their bodies, fierce!

As if discovering the identity of Chang Yu and the others, the group of Qing army spies muttered something and then went straight to the horse, shouting something loudly from time to time, accompanied by bursts of laughter.

Wu Zhong tightened the spear in his hand, looked at the Qing army slowly coming on the opposite side, and then glanced at the little eunuch.

Chang Yu frowned, the purpose of his departure from the city today was actually not even sure of himself, when he heard Xiao Ran report that there were Qing army spies outside the city, his first reaction was curiosity, and then he wanted to surround and kill him.

Everyone has curiosity, what does the Qing army that has no power to resist the Ming army look like, and is the combat power really that strong? This question has been lingering in Chang Yu's mind since he left Beijing.

Although the victory or defeat of a big war contains many factors, the repeated defeats show that the combat power is indeed inferior to others, but how much the combat power of the Qing army is stronger than the Ming army, the little eunuch has always wanted to know.

He knew all the major battles of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and he also remembered that several small-scale conflicts ended in the defeat of the Ming army.

During the Battle of Daling River, Wu Xiang and Song Wei were found by Huang Taiji to prepare an ambush when they went to support Zu Dashou, and it happened that the Ming army spies also discovered Huang Taiji's ambush soldiers, so they did it, Wu Xiang had 6,000 soldiers and horses, Huang Taiji and Duoduo were 200 people at that time, and the Ming army was defeated! Six thousand against two hundred fiasco!

At the beginning of the Songjin War, Zu Dashou was ordered to defend Ningyuan, and selected 300 Mongolian and Han people, a total of 600 people, at the mouth of the Wuxin River, met the Qing general Arsalan's Manchu and Mongolian army 160 people, the Ming army was defeated, 84 people were beheaded, and 15 horses were ridden.

There are also several battles of small groups of 100 people recorded in historical records, whether it is a horse exploration encounter, or an ambush of others, the Ming army has no victory!

Is the Ming army really so weak, and is the Qing army really so strong and invincible?

Chang Yu really wants to find out!

So he went out of the city and found it.

It's just that he is entangled again, whether to kill or not, these probes are obviously ordered to verify the news in Wu Sangui's "beggar master" letter, if they are killed, will it be a mistake!

But then he was relieved, these Qing army spies were by no means a group, Xiao Ran had also reported that several groups had been found before, and judging from the traces of horses' hooves, several groups of people and horses had crossed Ning Yuan and rushed to the south.

Therefore, it is better to slaughter it......

As soon as he made up his mind, the Qing army spies had arrived more than ten meters in front of him, and at this time, Chang Yu realized that he was thinking too much, because no matter whether he moved or not, people didn't plan to let him go!

A total of seventeen Qing army spies, their faces were full of recklessness, their eyes were full of disdain, they slowly approached and then dispersed, waving the waist knife in their hands, and shouting loudly in their mouths, they didn't take this Ming man who was twice as many people as themselves in their eyes at all.

"They are going to surround us" Seeing the Qing army disperse, Chang Yu sneered: "Tiezhu, kill them all, not a single one will be left!" After saying that, his feet were clamped, and the treasure horse under his crotch hissed and rushed straight to the opposite Qing army.

"Suffer death" Chang Yu shouted, and stabbed the horse lance in his hand at the Qing army who greeted him first, but the person suddenly disappeared from the horse's back, Chang Yu was suddenly startled, the secret road was not good, when the two horses were staggered, suddenly a knife cold light came from the ground and swept directly at the façade, it turned out that the Qing army had superb riding skills, and he hid under the belly of the war horse at that moment, a counter-flirting move, putting the little eunuch in danger.

Chang Yu was no longer the former Amon, as soon as he saw that the person was gone, he returned to the lance to protect himself, just narrowly blocking the knife, but there was a flash of cold light at the oblique place, and another Qing army killed, hurriedly dodged sideways, and the long lance swept it down, and then his hand shook, and blood splashed everywhere.

Riding the horse and looking back, the attendants had already fought with the Qing army, and in just a few rounds, there were three or five fallen horses rolling in the snow, which made Chang Yu feel a pain in his heart, and shocked the Qing army to be really fierce.

The Qing army has superb riding skills, as long as it grows on horseback, and it is flexible and free to turn up and down, which is far inferior to them, but the eunuch army also has its own advantages, all of them are tigers and bears, burly and powerful, and as Chang Yu's attendants, they must be outstanding in the palace camp, plus they are all armored, as long as they are not cut in the head with a knife, it is not so easy.

Whether it is the Ming army or the Qing army, Tanma is the most ferocious and powerful, because they are walking on the blade at any time, and as soon as the two sides fight, they are fighting for their lives, and the fierceness is abnormal.

The Gongzi battalion has more than one-third of the Qing army, but it has not gained the upper hand, and the two are equal for a while, which shows the strength of this group of Qing troops.

However, the most surprising thing for Chang Yu was Wu Zhong, he had the worst riding skills, never participated in horse battles, and was not good at spears.

The spear is not good, then don't use it, as soon as the fight started, the spear in his hand was thrown hard, and a Qing army war horse was instantly overturned to the ground.

If the equestrian skills are not good, then don't ride, the spear just took off his hand, and the backhand pulled out the long knife behind his back and jumped off the war horse with a knife, as a result of the Qing army on the ground, rolled on the spot to dodge another blow, the long knife was horizontal, and the hind hooves of the local war horse were cut off, and the horse fell off the horse, and a knife forward......

In a short period of time, this cargo rolled and crawled in the snow and killed three Qing troops.

On the other hand, Li Tiezhu was not so easy, the Qing army obviously saw that he was the leader of this team, and it was very tacit to list him as a key target for elimination, all kinds of siege and interception, but fortunately, the deployment around him was desperately resisting, otherwise he would have suffered an accident.

But even so, he had been stabbed twice, and if it weren't for the armor protection, he would have died.

"Brothers, these dog Tartars are nothing more than that, they will die if they are cut with a knife, and they think they have three fucking heads and six arms...... Ning Yuanjun is really a special bunch of soft eggs......" Li Tiezhu swung his knife to block the opponent's blow, and roared wildly at the top of his throat.

But he didn't care that a Qing army drove by behind him, and the waist knife went straight to his neck and swept by......

"Be careful," the person next to him exclaimed, only to find that there was no time for rescue.

The blade passed, the cold pierced the skin, Li Tiezhu's eyes were closed, and he was unwilling, and I would take my life!
