Chapter 862: Death Is Worth It
On the shore of Taigong Lake outside Linzi City, the little eunuch under the shade of the tree actually snored, which made Zhu Ci'an, who had always been excited and nervous, really incomprehensible, the Tartar could come over at any time, and he was still asleep.
looked at the soldiers lying on the ground again, and felt even more incredible, whether this special thing was to ambush the Tartars or give people heads.
looked up at the person on the tree, fortunately, there was one who didn't sleep, and then looked at Chen Ruxin and Qiao Sanxiu, who were sitting on the ground not far away and chatting with their heads down, Zhu Ci'an felt more and more unreliable, and when he stood up, he wanted to go outside the woods to take a look, Chen Ruxin saw this, and immediately got up and made a gesture, signaling him not to move.
Don't move to be waited for death in this nest, Zhu Ci is relieved to have a fire, if he scolds or even beats people on weekdays, but now he doesn't dare to put one, and sits down honestly.
Come on, when you want to die together, Zhu Ci glanced at the sleeping little eunuch fiercely, and thought, how could he ignore his own safety, he must have prepared something, but he just didn't want to let himself know.
Hush...... At this time, a whistle sounded on his head, and the little eunuch and his own soldiers, who were originally sleeping on the ground, suddenly all jumped up, and without saying a word, they ran to the side of the war horse to untie the rope and turn over the horse to draw the sword, all the movements were done in one go, which shocked Zhu Ci'an dumbfounded.
What does it mean to be unprepared? For this kind of veteran, recuperation is the best preparation, and those bells and whistles have no meaning and practical value.
Just when Zhu Ci'an was surprised, Chen Ruxin had already rushed from the edge of the woods to Chang Yu, northeast, four or five miles.
Chang Yu snorted, looked up at the head of the southwest city, saw a black flag waving, a sneer on the corner of his mouth, twenty or thirty: "Do you have a hand?" β
"It's almost the same as practicing hands," a pro-soldier said, and everyone laughed.
"Does the prince want to see it, or do you want to fight?" Chang Yu turned his head to look at Zhu Ci'an and asked.
Zhu Ci'an rubbed his hands excitedly, with a nervous and excited look: "Fight!" Why did the factory superintendent follow Ci'an? β
"Good!" Chang Yu picked up his own cowhide soft armor at his feet and handed it to him: "If you can kill a Tartar today, your name Zhu Ci'an will not be in Qingzhou Mansion in the future, and the entire Shandong territory will be deafening!" β
Huhu, Zhu Ci'an's face became flushed, and he took Chang Yu's soft armor and put it on: "I want to kill the Tartars, I want to kill the Tartars......"
Chang Yu turned over and got on the horse, and when he saw that he was unable to control himself, he smiled: "This is not the one you usually play with, but a real knife and a real gun that accidentally lost your head."
Zhu Ci'an's face turned pale instantly, he gritted his teeth violently, and also got on the horse: "Defend the family and the country, although you are still honored."
"Good! Balls! Chang Yu praised, no matter whether Zhu Ci'an really holds up the faΓ§ade or not, but the little eunuch is a person who appreciates blood, look at what has become of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the descendants of the princes of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Chang Yu has always had a slight remark about the Ming vassal system, and the kings on weekdays are just in charge of military affairs, but they are all in chaos like this, and blindly suppressing them is simply self-destructive. If the local bandits had risen at the beginning, the would-be vassal kings would not have formed an army to defend themselves, and they would not have become what they are now.
Every teenager has a dream, and every vassal king has a passion, but unfortunately the Ming Emperor must raise them as pigs.
In the past two or three hundred years, there have indeed been litters of pigs one litter after another.
But even pigs have dreams, and at this time, Chang Yu is just helping one of the piglets realize their dream journey: go into battle to kill the enemy!
The Qing army that rushed to Zicheng had twenty or thirty horsemen, which belonged to two divisions, one was the exploration horse of Kangkeller, the pioneer outside Qingzhou City, and the other was the main force of Dolgon.
Kangkal lined up on the banks of the Nanyang River in the north of Qingzhou City to exert pressure on the city and shout to persuade him to surrender, and on the one hand, he sent several units of horses to reconnoiter the surrounding area, which was also one of the tasks of the vanguard.
More than ten of his subordinates rode across the Beiyang River to the west, and unconsciously arrived at the Zihe River (the northern end of Taigong Lake), after all, Linzi and Qingzhou are too close to each other.
When dismounting and drinking, he encountered another group of friendly troops to explore the horses, but it was sent by Dolgon, who was dozens of miles away on the west bank of the Beiyang River to rest and recuperate, and also sent countless soldiers and horses, along the south and west to plunder and reconnoitre.
At the southern end of the Zihe River is Linzi County, a city of projectiles. The leaders of both teams heard the news from the people.
The city was no more than two feet high, and there were no soldiers to defend it.
That's not as good as ...... As soon as the two teams are combined, they go to explore, and maybe they can get it easily.
This is an era very similar to the anti-Japanese period, for example, a few devils can occupy a county, the only difference is that the devils at this time are called thieves or Qing troops.
Therefore, a line of less than 30 cavalry of the Qing army rushed to Zixian County in a big way, they traveled from the north end of the Zihe River in the shade of the tree, and were not discovered by Chen Suole in the city, and once there were four or five miles away before the whereabouts were discovered, so they immediately waved the flag to warn, and the police post on the tree gave Chang Yu and others a warning.
"This Linzi City is small but very vigilant, we should have been discovered" Almost at the same time that Chang Yu received the warning, the Qing army team also found the black flag waving on the city.
"What about discovery? We don't plan to sneak over," a bearded man who was almost shirtless was full of disdain: "It's best to open the door when you get to the city in a while, and if you can't open it, shoot him a few to vent your anger!" β
"The Ming people are timid and afraid of death, as long as they say that there are tens of thousands of troops, they will pee their pants in fear, and those officials and masters will quickly open the door, and when the time comes, our brothers will first grab the silver and play with a few of his yellow flower girls......" Another black-faced man Tian said shamelessly, and it could be seen that the two were the leaders of this Qing army.
"Women are not in a hurry first, some are playing, it is important to get silver first" The bearded man pouted: "After entering the city, I want to ask those officials for a few thousand taels of heads, otherwise there will be no more left when I turn around and hand over the male hair."
The Qing army has strict regulations every time it enters the customs, that is, almost all the income must be handed over, and those who violate the order to hide private goods will even be beheaded, not only ordinary soldiers, but also generals must abide by it, of course, it is easier for generals to hide private goods, only in special circumstances, such as when the siege is unfavorable, in order to boost morale, it will be said: "After the city is broken, the income will not be handed over......
So some soldiers seem to be grabbing a lot of money, but in fact, very few of them fall into their hands, of course, every time they return from the customs, they are still bulging!
Because there are so many grabbies!
In the same way, how much they robbed, how much Daming lost!
"You like silver, but I like girls, we have different hobbies, Daming's girls can pinch out the water with fine skin and tender meat, it's cool to play, but it's not like the rough skin and rough meat outside our gate......" The black-faced leader smiled lewdly.
The bearded man laughed: "I agree with you when you say this, Daming's girls are indeed tender...... Hey, how many have you played? β
The black-faced leader immediately lit up his eyes, and he arrived here from the moment he first entered the customs: "There are thirty or forty of them...... Hey, hey".
"You're not idle," the bearded man quipped: "The Han people have a saying that what flowers are going to die and be ghosts is also romantic, and you have played so much, it's worth it."
"That's not it, it's worth it even if you're dead," the blackface leader laughed, and before the laughter fell, he suddenly let out a scream and fell off his horse.
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked around, they saw that their throats were blocked by an arrow!
"There is an ambush ......" almost as soon as the bearded man exclaimed, he also fell headlong, this time through his left eye.
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
No one understands this truth better, and he hid a bow and shot two arrows in a row from a hundred meters away, killing the two leaders of the Qing army, and the rest of the people were shocked, and they saw more than ten horsemen in the woods to kill, and they were afraid that there were ambushes in the woods and did not dare to fight and fight and flee.
Do you want to leave after you've come?
It depends on whether the little eunuch is willing or not.
Of course I don't want to, I slept for a long time and waited until now to let you escape.
The Qing army saw the opportunity early, Chang Yu was still a hundred meters away, and they beat their horses and galloped, relying on their horse fast riding skills, if they might not be able to catch up on weekdays.
But these scouts have all run for dozens of miles, but Chang Yu slept for a long time, increasing and disappearing, and caught up with him several miles away.
At this time, the Qing army did not panic, because they saw clearly that only fifteen or sixteen horsemen came, but they had nearly thirty horsemen, twice as much!
It's a shame, the dignified Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry is a powerful Tanma who was chased by less than half of the Ming army and fled, if this is spread out, it will be too embarrassing for them.
So in order to avoid spreading the word, they decided to slaughter this Ming army.
And in fact, they were not sure whether they were chasing the Ming army at this time, because these people's clothes were different from the Ming army, could they be the brave soldiers in the city and the countryside or the private soldiers of the big families?
, whoever he is, just kill them all!
If it is the Ming army, it is embarrassing enough to be chased after the city, if it is not the Ming army, it is even more embarrassing!
The Qing army immediately turned its horse's head to face the battle!
