At noon on May 21, the 14th year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, after a simple lunch, Xu Changqing and his party were fully armed, relying on Xu Changqing's total waist card from the east gate of Ningyuan City out of the city, slowly to the east.

Even though Uncle Guang and Uncle Hong had great objections to Xu Changqing's decision to leave the city, Xu Changqing was the master, and he was their irrefutable master.

Especially in the past few days, Xu Changqing has had some kind of indescribable changes in both his skills and bearing, and Uncle Guang and Uncle Hong can only endure it and help Xu Changqing think about things that he can't consider.

Although it was not yet the time for a real full-scale war, the Qing army had always been extremely concerned about the movements on the side of Ningyuan City, and there were countless elite sentry cavalry scattered here.

Although the Ming army also has a lot of elite sentry horses, there is still a significant gap compared with the beastly elite sentinels of the Qing army.

Xu Changqing and his party had only been out of the city for a short time, and they had already seen three or four Tartars.

They were in groups of three or five, each of them with two horses, and some even three horses, like wild wolves cruising outside the city, keeping an eye on the movements of the Ming army at any time.

It is difficult for the Ming army to face them head-on if they don't collect it at night, so they can only scare and drive them away from afar.

Fortunately, at this time, there were large construction sites outside Ningyuan City, and the main force of Wu Sangui's Guanning Army and Liu Zhaoji's main force were stationed outside.

Looking at these Qing army sentry horses from a distance, the amazing equestrian performances like juggling, like the majestic momentum of beasts, Xu Changqing's heart was also rolling for a while.

Even though he comes from a later generation, and is from the People's Army, he has a powerful experience and knowledge that is five hundred years ahead of this world, but if you want to compare with this group of beast-like people who rushed out from the depths of the white mountains and black waters, there is still a long way to go.

Although there is the sea not far to the east of Ningyuan, as early as more than a year ago, after the main force of the Tartars besieged Jinzhou City, there were often Tartar sentinels to cruise here, and the fishing industry here soon declined.

At this time, in addition to the south, there were a few strong and huge tunbao outside the city, and other villages and the like had long been deserted, like no man's land.

It's something that can't be helped.

In this state, if there are still people left in this defenseless village, it can only be a Tartar lamb, slaughtered at will.

After five or six miles out of the city, it was out of the safe zone, and there was no army stationed here.

Including Xu Changqing, everyone's hearts were raised.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing's choice of time is very exquisite, at this time, it is the noon of midsummer, the sun is extremely vicious, the Tartar sentry cherishes the horsepower, and does not dare to mess around at such a time, just staring at the movement of the army around the city, but there is no Tartar here.

But even so, Xu Changqing still didn't dare to slack off in the slightest!

With this amount of money, if he is targeted by the Tartar sentry, even if there are only three or five people on the other side, it will definitely be a disaster for himself.

Cavalry fighting infantry, it is almost like Lao Tzu beating his son, especially since his side has not undergone real rigorous training, and he has never seen blood.

After a little thought, Xu Changqing directly ordered the team to turn to the south, speed up the march, first avoid the Tartars' field of vision, and then make plans after going around to the hills in the south.

…

Fortunately, Xu Changqing chose a good time at this time, until everyone arrived at the beach, except for a few teams of lazy Ming soldiers who did not collect at night, they did not see the shadow of the Tartar again.

Seeing the familiar sea again and smelling the wet and salty sea, Xu Changqing's heart was slightly soothed.

No way.

The sharpness of the Manchu Eight Banners Army is too great, even if Xu Changqing has a lot of blood, he has to be a thousand times more careful!

In this state at this time, like Hong Chengchou, how can he Xu Changqing have a point of failure capital?

A few people continued to run south for several miles by the sea, and soon, they found a verdant green bamboo forest!

Here, it is the 'Green Snake Forest' that Xu Changqing heard from Li Changyou before!

I don't know if it's the climate or some other reason in this area, there is a group of small green snakes, although they are not poisonous, but they are very fierce, and it is not pleasant to be bitten by this thing.

In the early years, there were still a few villages here, but with the decline of the war, this place has long been depopulated, and it is already a no-man's land.

And on the other side of the sea more than ten miles south from here, is Juehua Island.

More than ten years ago, the tragic defeat and the destruction of the Juehua Island Naval Division have not eased up until this time.

Uncle Guang and Uncle Hong also understood Xu Changqing's thoughts a little at this time, and Uncle Guang couldn't help but say: "Young master, you, even if you want to fish here, but we have no experience in fishing in the sea, and we are harassed by Tartar sentry horses, this is ......"

Xu Changqing ignored Uncle Hong, but looked in the direction of the sea to the east.

Just across from this green snake forest, about three or four miles away, there is a small island about a mile in radius.

There is no flat land on this small island, it is filled with several rugged hills, all kinds of plants are very verdant, and the scenery is magnificent, which is exactly what pig's trotter island Li Changyou said.

There were no wild beasts on this island, only a flock of birds, a few springs, and a lot of reefs around, so you have to be careful during the day, let alone at night.

This kind of island is of little use to the common people, the government, or the army, but ~, for Xu Changqing at this time, it is definitely a rare treasure!

Xu Changqing thought for a moment, took a sip of water from the kettle, and said directly: "Everyone rest for a while, and start cutting bamboo immediately." ”

"This ......"

Everyone couldn't understand Xu Changqing's intentions, and they were speechless.

But Xu Changqing, the master, spoke, and everyone could only obey.

…

Soon, Uncle Guang and Uncle Hong led people to start cutting bamboo, and Ergou and Zhao Zengjin were on guard around, guarding the Tartars and the green snakes here.

In a short time, everyone has cut down fifty or sixty fine bamboos, each thicker than an arm, and it is growing well.

At this time, Xu Changqing had also prepared several fine hemp ropes, supplemented by several emerald green vines collected from around the bamboo forest, and began to make bamboo rafts by himself.

Xu Changqing was also a special forces sequence in the army in his early years, not only served on the southwest border, but also served on the islands of the South China Sea.

In just ten minutes, Xu Changqing built a wide and sturdy bamboo raft like a trick.

Uncle Guang, Uncle Hong, and the others were stunned for a moment.

Ergou's jaw fell to the ground, and he muttered: "Young master, you, are you doing a trick, this is ......?"

Xu Changqing also sweated a lot, was in a good mood, and kicked Ergou's ass with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense!" Come on, let's push this bamboo raft into the sea together, let's try the water. ”

"Good come!"

Everyone worked together to push the big bamboo raft into the sea.

Suddenly, the bamboo raft faced the sea breeze and floated very firmly on the sea.

"Da Da Da, Da ......"

But before everyone had time to cheer, they suddenly saw that there were more than a dozen war horses in the north direction, and they were rushing towards this side with smoke and dust!

Look at their bright color matching, it's the Tartar Ranger!

"It's a Tartar!"

"Young master, it's a Tartar, this ......"

In an instant, not to mention Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Wang Anshan and other young people, Uncle Guang and Uncle Hong's faces changed, and they were a little at a loss for a while.

For so many years, the power of the Tartars has been so great that they have almost been demonized, like evil ghosts!

Being targeted by the Tartars in this state is simply being targeted by evil ghosts, and it must be ten deaths.

Looking at the arrogant Tartars and the panicked crowd, Xu Changqing's heart was also a little tumbling and agitated, but he quickly calmed down and shouted angrily: "Fucking panicked, hurry, get on the boat!" ”

Then the people came to their senses and hurriedly boarded the boat.

Uncle Hong was just about to call someone to pull the two mules over and get them on the raft, and most of their food was on the mules.

"Whoosh!"

But at this time, the Tartar's sharp feathered arrows were already flying over.

"Leave the mules alone, get on board!"

Xu Changqing scolded and greeted Uncle Hong.

Uncle Hong dared to slack off, and he didn't have time to take care of the mule, so he almost rushed onto the bamboo raft.

Xu Changqing hurriedly held the penny and asked everyone to paddle together, and soon, the wide bamboo raft floated to the sea.

"Poof, poof!"

At this time, the two mules had been shot to death by the Tartars, and the red blood suddenly stained the white sand.

"Despicable Ming dog, don't run, get back!"

"Holy, are you all?! Get back to your daddy! ”

“@#￥%……”

The five Tartar sentries had already rushed to the beach at this time, scolding Xu Changqing and the others, while opening their bows and releasing arrows.

They had been eyeing Xu Changqing's small team before, but because of the vicious sun and Xu Changqing, they were all foot soldiers, so they were not in a hurry, but they didn't expect that when it was cool for a while, Xu Changqing and the others had already prepared a bamboo raft and went to sea.

"Whoosh!"

The Tartar's fierce feathered arrows kept coming, and several of them landed on the raft, causing a scream and a cry of pain.

Fortunately, at this time, Xu Changqing and everyone were wearing armor, and the worst ones were also wearing cotton armor, at this time it was a little far away from the sea, and the sea breeze was very strong, even if they were shot by the Tartar's feather arrows, it would not be a big problem, at most it was only a little flesh wound.

Xu Changqing's face was gloomy, and he paddled quickly, and finally, the bamboo raft quickly left the danger zone, and the feathered arrows of the Tartar 'crackled' on the sea.

Everyone was amnesty, and while looking at the tartars on the shore in horror, they also looked at their young master Xu Changqing with great palpitations.

This time, if it weren't for the young master's decisiveness, I'm afraid everyone would have to explain here.

Uncle Hong and Uncle Guang glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little complicated for a while.

Their young master, since he was sick before, not only is his bravery more terrifying, but in terms of strategy, even they can't guess it.

This...... Could it be that the ancestors have spirits, did Xu Da and Marshal Xu open their eyes?

…

Seeing that Xu Changqing and the others had gone away, it was impossible for them to chase them into the sea, and they wasted a lot of energy and feather arrows, and suddenly became tyrannical, and began to take the two poor mules to be angry.

The poor two mules were not completely dead, but they were directly cut off by these Tartars, and they died.

The scarlet splash on the snow-white sand is indescribably dazzling for a while.

The Tartars were completely worthy of Xu Changqing, they were not afraid of being attacked at all, they also cut some bamboo, and soon set up a barbecue grill on the seaside, obviously, they were going to roast mules tonight.

Xu Changqing and his entourage quickly arrived on the island, fixed the bamboo raft, and Xu Changqing directly led people to the top of the mountain to see the tartars from afar.

At this time, the Tartars also saw Xu Changqing and a few people on the top of the hill, and suddenly let out a strange scream, provoking wildly.

The voice drifted to Xu Changqing's side with the sea breeze, and it was suddenly unspeakably harsh!

This is simply a provocation by Chiguoguo!

It's a pity that at this time!!

The roots of Xu Changqing's teeth itched with hatred for a while, and he could almost clearly see the hideous and ugly faces of these five tartars.

"Oh, that's not right!"

For a moment, Xu Changqing was suddenly stunned.

This small island is more than four miles and more than 2,000 meters from the sea, and according to normal people's eyesight, even if they are in a high place at this time, how can they see the faces of these Tartars clearly?

After several attempts in succession, Xu Changqing found that his feelings were not wrong!

It seems that after crossing by himself, not only his strength and body coordination have been upgraded, but also his eyesight and ear power have also improved a lot!

Thinking about it, Xu Changqing's gloomy mood couldn't help but become much more cheerful all of a sudden, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth!

"Grandchildren, let you dogs for a few days! Wait for Lao Tzu to clean up and stand firm, you will feel good! ”
