Shortly after Cao Zongbing and his party drilled out of the mountain pass and rode into the Santun camp.

Yang Er of the Guards Battalion, no, Deputy Company Commander Yang Willy, is standing on the watchtower of the south city wall at the moment, holding the eight-fold Zeiss telescope in his hand, observing the mountain road left and right.

Before I knew it, the thief was twenty years old. In ancient times, many people had already started a family and became a father at this age. At this moment, Yang Willy, who was wearing a cotton coat and had a tall appearance, also took off all the jumps and youthfulness, and became a majestic and resolute soldier.

Not long ago, in the last battle that took place at noon, Yang Weili, as a member of the defenders of the city, also missed a shot, killing and wounding many Tartars who were running away.

After the battle, the defenders finally ushered in a large force from the direction of Yongping, and by the way, there was also Belle Ye and his party who had just run away from the city.

At this time, some soldiers of the defenders at the head of the city went down to rest, and the company commander transferred the command to Yang Weili before going to report.

Shortly after Yang Willy took over the command, he saw a large group of cavalry coming out of the western corner of the mountain through the lens of the telescope.

Take a closer look, these cavalry are all dressed in the Ming army, and on the banner held high, the official rank on one side is not clear because of the small words, but on the other side, the word "left" is clearly displayed.

Finding that a large number of soldiers and horses were approaching, Yang Weili, as the company commander on duty at the head of the city, ordered people to use walkie-talkies to contact the traversers in the general army's mansion, while keeping a close eye on the new military horses.

After turning from the foot of the mountain in the west, walk straight along the mountain road for more than 400 meters, and you will arrive at the road of death in front of the Santun camp city.

At this moment, the road of death was densely packed with human corpses and horse corpses left behind by the Tartars, and the total number was at least fifteen or six hundred. The pavement, which was less than a mile long, was already covered with corpses, and black-brown blood flowed out and paved both sides of the road, even forming patches of blood.

Busy in the pile of corpses were a hundred or so laborers brought from Tianjin, dressed in ordinary Ming clothes.

The first step in the task of these people is to cut off people's heads, and by the way, to give a knife to the Tartar who is not yet dead.

The Ming army of the brigade maintained a vigilant posture and came to the front. After all, he had just been defeated by the Tartars and retreated, and it was understandable that he had finally finished recuperating and mustered up the courage to go deep into the mountain road again.

However, when they reached the ground, all the cavalry gasped, and the first thing everyone saw was several piles of Tartar heads on the side of the road.

The blue scalp, the dead fish-like eyes, and the familiar faces—not so long ago, these were the very heads that had slaughtered the brethren with a ferocity that had shown no mercy.

Now, these heads are sitting there, like piles of gold and silver, waiting for someone to take them.

"Chinese army, where is this Laoshi Zizhangchao general soldier? He was so bold that he dared to disobey the order of the strategy, and privately sent troops to steal the city, not to mention, but also stole the military exploits of the brothers! ”

It was a member of the Ming army general with a red tassel on his head who spoke.

The generals, general soldiers and other senior military attachés of the Ming Dynasty did not have a military rank order on their shoulders when they went out to fight. Including the one on the body, that is, the more delicate mountain armor or chain mail, after all, it is not a golden holy clothes, so the recognition is actually not high.

What really marks the level of a military general on the battlefield is the string of red tasseled beads on the helmet. Generally speaking, the longer the tassel, the higher the level.

After seeing the heads piled up on the ground, the cavalry general's eyes were already red, and after he couldn't say that he could put up a pergola and look at the city tower, he opened his mouth and put several murderous crimes on Cao Da's soldiers.

"Humph!"

Beside the general officer, the middle-level military general wearing a phoenix-winged helmet and two knots tied on the bead string is the owner of the military flag behind him, Zuo Liangyu, the capital of the right battalion of Liaodong Che.

Zuo Liangyu, a warlord in the late Ming Dynasty. In the years to come, this person will lead the army to crusade against the peasant army, burning, killing and plundering wherever he passes, corrupting military discipline, cunning and untrustworthy, and pying his teammates. After Chongzhen hanged himself, this monarch entrenched in Wuhan to support the army and respect himself, and met the source left and right in various forces, and after his death, his son led the troops to surrender to the Qing.

Of course, the current Zuo Liangyu is just a middle-level military general under the Guanning Group, and it is not his turn to be promoted to command the army. So all in all, Zuo Liangyu at this moment can be regarded as a self-motivated general.

That's where things go bad.

Since he is self-motivated, he sees piles of experience points placed there, and there are only about 100 people guarding the heads, so how can the arrogant Guanning Iron Cavalry not be tempted?

You must know that what Zuo Dusi lacks most now is the head!

........................

Two years ago, there was a mutiny in Ningyuanwei, which was located on the front line in eastern Liaodong.

The soldiers of the 13th Battalion of Ningyuan wanted to recover the four months' salary owed, so the governor Bi Zisu, including the veteran Zhu Mei, was caught by the soldiers and asked for salary.

However, Bi Zisu had no money.

The fact is that even if Bi Zisu's own brother Bi Ziyan is the head of the household department in charge of finance, even if Bi Zisu had declared his arrears to the imperial court nine times beforehand, the imperial court's pockets were clean, so his salary was still owed.

So Bi Zisu finally committed suicide after being humiliated by the soldiers.

And Zuo Liangyu, who was the capital of the right camp of Liaodong at the time, including the veteran Zhu Mei, all lost their officials because of this incident.

So to a certain extent, it was Tatar who saved Zuo Liangyu's career: if it weren't for this Houjin incident, he would not have been reinstated.

Because of this, Zuo Liangyu, who had just been reinstated and served as a cavalry striker under the command of General Cao Wenzhao, was the most eager for military achievements. So after hearing the henchman Xiao Xiao Xiao next to him talking nonsense, Zuo Liangyu didn't refute, but just snorted coldly.

yes, what kind of thing is this deputy chief soldier of Laoshi Zizhangchao? Now the main forces of the Guanning Group are gathered here, among them, from the military strategy below, the deputy generals of the provincial general army do not know how many, just a miscellaneous deputy general from the outside road, when the horse returns to the point general, it is impossible to say that there is not even a seat, what is it?

The most important thing is that so many Tartars died in front of their eyes, but there was not a single corpse of the Ming army? To say that these people were killed by the Ming army in the city, all the Ming soldiers below Zuo Liangyu did not believe it. In their opinion, the most reasonable explanation is that the Tartars are fighting in the middle of the way, and for some reason they are killing each other.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Zuo Liangyu spoke: "Thanks to the hard work of the brothers, they chased all the way down with their lives, which caused the Tartars to be cornered and die of infighting. ”

After setting the tone, Zuo Liangyu raised his chin: "Go to some people, collect all the heads, and grab a few more people to come over and ask what is going on." ”

"Whoa!"

With Zuo Liangyu's order, the cavalry, who had long been unable to hold back, suddenly shouted and beat their horses and rushed forward.

The people, who had already stopped working and began to be on guard, saw the fierce officers and soldiers rushing towards them, immediately threw down the machetes in their hands, and ran towards the south city gate with a shout.

After Yang Weili, who was guarding the watchtower, saw this scene, he picked up the hand on the side without saying a word and began to say in a deep voice: "Attention, it has now been determined that the rider is the enemy." All of them, guns loaded, aim, ready, put! ”

With the order of the trumpet, a hundred warriors on the city wall who had already begun to notice the comers, immediately skillfully fired a round of guns.

The white mist rose, and the few cavalry that had already rushed behind the people were instantly knocked to the ground, leaving only the horses jumping on the spot.

However, more firepower on the head of the city was concentrated in the crowd pile.

After the horsemen who had just caught the people rushed out, a large number of cavalry turned over and dismounted and headed towards the heads of the people on the ground. Many of them also drew their sabers from their waists, preparing to carry on the unfinished business of the people and cut off a wave of Tartar heads on the ground.

Then the Ming army, who rushed to the head, was knocked over by a round of guns twenty or thirty.

This round of platoon guns effectively curbed the frantic actions of the Ming army. All the people who just got off the horse, and those who were lucky not to be shot, all ran back crying and shouting at their mothers, and the fierce and vicious attitude just now was thrown out of the clouds.

Zuo Liangyu, who urgently pulled the horse back a few steps, was also shocked at this moment.

You must know his current position, about two hundred steps away from the city, which is equivalent to 300 meters in the future, how can the opponent's firecracker hit so far?

The next moment, Zuo Liangyu was stunned: There is such a sharp fire gun on the head of the city, aren't these Tartars on the ground killed by this group?

..........................................

When he was panting through the city, he saw this scene: a platoon of guns to drive the enemy.

Then after Qian Tieshan saw Yang Willy who came over to report the situation, he immediately asked: "You are the company commander on duty, so answer me now, why did you shoot?" ”

After Yang Weili saluted a military salute, he replied loudly: "Report, because I came to attack the people and rob the heads of the city, I judged that the opponent was not a friend or foe, so I ordered to shoot." ”

"Didn't you see those people in the city holding the banner of the Ming official army?"

"I am the deputy company commander of the Guards Battalion, and I am not under the control of the Ming Emperor."

When Qian Tieshan heard Yang Willy say this, his originally tense face slowly began to stretch. The next moment, he raised his arm violently and punched the young man in the chest: "Yes, I didn't train you in vain." ”

Several people who came with him also smiled and patted the young man's shoulder: "Politically qualified, excellent quality, young man has a future!" ”

Qian Tieshan smiled at this time and began to introduce: "Just this flowery boy, I originally planned to be called into the special combat team, but I was stopped by Wei Yuan. Alas, the army buries talents. ”

As soon as the tension was gone, the group laughed and came to the back of the city wall and began to wait and see how Zuo Dusi reacted.

Zuo Liangyu, who was frightened, had already retreated two hundred steps back after receiving the round of guns just now, and sent an envoy to approach the city with a banner.

"I said Yang Willy, the Navy often says, the truth or something, do you know?"

After Qian Tieshan glanced at the city a few times, he leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and then took the young man exam.

Yang Weili thought about it and said uncertainly: "The truth is only within the range of naval guns? ”

"That's right, you young people have a good memory."

When Qian Tieshan heard this, he pointed to the restless Ming army under the city and said, "You remember, no matter what force you face, if you don't let the other party know that you have the ability to destroy him, then the opponent will never be able to speak to you on an equal footing. ”

When Qian Tieshan said this, he reached out and took out the assault rifle behind his back, and knocked the approaching messenger off his horse with one shot: "Your order just now is still flawed, where is there enough for a round of guns?" Rapid fire should have been ordered. ”

After nodding to each other with Zhang Dongdong and Zhang Zhongqi, Qian Tieshan stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and ordered loudly to the machine gunner who turned his head to look at him: "Hit half a bullet chain." ”
