"Second platoon, open fire." More than a dozen Eight Banners were knocked out, and the remaining Eight Banners grabbed their horses and turned around and began to run back.

"Sir, the Tartar has run away." The first team leader shouted at Pan Xuezhong.

"Let's run, too." Pan Xuezhong pulled a horse, "Everyone get on their horses and retreat." ”

The special combat team withdrew thirty miles and stopped in a small village where no one was around, and Pan Xuezhong counted the number of people and lost seven people.

Pan Xuezhong called the three detachment leaders together: "An is waiting for the Tartars, pay close attention to the movements of the Tartars." Arrange a guard post, let's rest here for the next few days, and no one is allowed to leave this village without my order. ”

"Sir." One of the squad leaders asked, "Are we right here, no more harassing the Tartars?" ”

"We took them by surprise this time, they will definitely be prepared, we have to wait for the opportunity."

The sky was slightly bright, Dolgon and Tao Min stood on the artillery position, and a Eight Banners Ezhen reported: "Lord Qiqi, we lost two artillery pieces, killed seven of them, and captured this." ”

Dolgon took the rifled gun handed over by Ezhen and looked at it over and over: "Sir, where do you think these Ming troops will come from, and what kind of gun is this kind of gun." ”

"Yulin Army, these people are Yulin Army." Tao Min took the rifled gun from Dolgon's hand and squinted at the barrel, "This is the latest weapon of the Yulin Army, better than what they used before." ”

"Could this be the kind of firearm that Azig said could hit a hundred feet away?" Dorgon asked.

Tao Min smiled slightly: "It's not that far, there is still a way to deal with this kind of gun minion." ”

Tao Min said, secretly surprised in his heart: "Yulinwan really made a rifled gun, and he is outdated in science and technology." ”

Tao Min turned around and handed the gun to a person behind him: "Put it away, don't lose it, I'm useful." ”

Dolgon asked, "Sir, do you think they will still come, and will we continue to attack Pinggu County?" ”

"Don't worry, the slaves will be arranged, and they will not come back." Tao Min shouted loudly, "Find someone to clean up the cannon chamber immediately, and you must take Pinggu County today." ”

The Manchu cannon began to roar again, and Tao Min sat alone in the big tent and looked at the rifled gun in his hand. Last time, Azig said that there were more than 1,000 of these guns in the Yulin Army, so how many of them can there be now, 3,000 or 5,000, Tao Min couldn't calculate it in his heart.

In the past few days, based on the news sent by all parties, Tao Min has found a problem, the main force of the Yulin Army cannot be found. Whether it was Datong, Ningyuan, Xuanfu, or Li Zicheng's Yan'an Mansion, the main force of the Yulin Army was not found. Where can these more than 10,000 people go, they will still go to Shengjing again in Beijing. Or maybe they were in Tianjin, but could Xu Lang and Jiang Beiming be so smart, would they guess that they were going to land from Tianjinwei.

Tao Min thought about all the possibilities in his heart: "Come on, bring paper and pen." ”

Tao Min handed the written letter to one of his subordinates: "Give it to Tao Gong Baylor with his own hands, be quick." Remember, if there is any problem on the road, burn the letter first, and it must not fall into the hands of the Ming army. ”

"Humble duty understands." The person who delivered the letter was a Han recruited and trained by Xie Tian in the northeast, and at this time, he was dressed in Yulin military uniform and gave a military salute to Tao Min.

On the main road from Beijing to Tianjin, a platoon of Yulin troops dressed up as Ming troops set up a roadblock and were checking on pedestrians coming and going. Tianjin and Beijing were at war, and there were basically no people on the road, and a few soldiers kept watch all morning without checking anything.

"Drive, drive." A fast horse came galloping from a distance.

"Stop, stop." Several warriors with spears blocked the way.

"Phew." The man on the horse grabbed the horse, "I am a member of the Beijing Officers' Training Corps, and I am going to Tianjin Wei, and there is an urgent military situation." ”

"First down, first down." Several soldiers shouted unhurriedly, and the spears in their hands were aimed at the horses.

The sergeant of the Yulin Army on the horse was helpless, so he could only jump off the horse: "Who are you, why are you setting up a barricade here." ”

The platoon commander dressed as a general flag looked at the sergeant carefully: "You don't care who we are, my lord's order, all people who come and go must be strictly checked, what proof do you have to prove that you are from the Beijing Teaching Corps." ”

The sergeant took out the waist tag from his clothes: "This is the voucher, let me go quickly, you can't afford to delay the military situation." ”

The chief flag officer took the waist card and looked at it, and suddenly shouted coldly: "The sergeant is upright." ”

The sergeant's legs were reflexively brought together, and the "snap" was upright, and his body was straight.

The chief flag officer smiled again: "Very good, take a break." ”

The sergeant looked at the chief flag officer with some surprise: "You are not the Ming army, you are, and you are also the Yulin army?" ”

The chief flag officer asked, "Who asked the letter to be delivered, and to whom did it go?" ”

"I'm sorry." The sergeant said arrogantly, "Military secrets, I can't give advice. ”

"Very good, the sense of confidentiality is quite strong." The chief flag officer shouted again, "Password." ”

"What password?" The sergeant was stunned, "How do I know your password, I only know the password in Beijing." ”

"Good." The chief flag officer pointed at the sergeant, "Take it." ”

Several soldiers came and pressed the sergeant to the ground, and the sergeant struggled desperately: "Why are you arresting me, who are you?" ”

"You'll soon know who we are." The Flag Officer commanded, "Search." ”

The sergeant suddenly broke free of his hands and jumped up from the ground, and before he could stand firmly, a spear stabbed him directly in the thigh, and the sergeant pounced and fell to the ground.

"Bundled." The chief flag officer squatted down and smiled, "I'll tell you why I arrested you, you don't even know what letter you sent with the password to send the letter, you must be a Tatar, don't arrest who you will arrest." ”

The false sergeant and the letter recovered from him were quickly sent to the headquarters of the 1st Independent Division.

Xu Lang couldn't help but laugh after reading the letter written by Tao Min: "Tao Min can really think of crooked ideas, and he writes all the bells and whistles when he writes a letter." ”

"What's wrong with all the bells and whistles?" Lin Zhaolong asked.

Xu Lang handed Tao Min's letter to Lin Zhaolong: "Pan Xuezhong led the special combat team to attack Dolgon's artillery position, Tao Min meant to let Tao Gong wait in Tianjin, gather all the horses and then slowly advance to Beijing. ”

Lin Zhaolong took a lot of effort to read this mixed English and Chinese letter: "Then what should we do, how to lure Tao Gong over." ”

"Zhaolong, let's first try the person who delivered the letter and ask about the situation in Beijing."
