One of the Qing soldiers dismounted, took the bow from his horse, opened his bow and set up his arrows, and with a whoosh, the feathered arrows flew to the boatmen who were fluttering in the Yellow River. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. The boatman screamed and sank. After a while, the tail of the arrow 'revealed', and the boatman's body floated downstream with the current.

The crowd at the ferry first looked at the Qing soldiers with strange tones in shock, and then they were all stunned when they saw the Qing soldiers cleanly 'shooting' and killing the boatmen who were already thirty paces away. But then they rushed to the ferry, and the boatmen ran away, intending to 'fiddle' the ferry themselves. They knew that now they had to flee to the other side.

But there were too many people rushing to get on the boat, and everyone pushed me and squeezed, and finally the ferry was overturned. The people on the boat fell into the cold water, but after seeing the Qing soldiers' 'shooting' skills, even if the water 'sex' was good, they didn't dare to swim.

"Get on your knees! Don't die! Qing Bing ordered loudly in Chinese again, in a strange tone.

Some of the people on the periphery slowly knelt down, and then more and more people knelt down. In the end, the people in the river beach also knelt down, and they did not dare to make themselves superior, lest they be noticed by the Qing soldiers and killed.

More than a dozen Qing soldiers laughed wantonly, looking at the Han people kneeling down, men and women, old and young, hundreds of people, all of whom became their prisoners. The man didn't have to look at it, he still had to 'hand' it over to his Zhang Jing, and at this time they were all looking for the figure of the beautiful 'woman' in the crowd. Especially the official lady who is wrapped in her feet, they want to enjoy it even more. Because there is the Yellow River in front of them, this is the stopping line of their attack, and they have enough time to relax.

After some time, a large group of Qing soldiers also came, they wore red cotton armor, and the cavalry lined up in a marching line, and four horses in a row, and slowly drove towards the ferry.

A scout went over and knelt down on one knee and gave a shout. After that, the general who led the team gave the order, and his cavalry scattered in formation and surrounded the kneeling people. Then some of the men dismounted, drove the people, and carried them to the rear.

Li Mu could see clearly on the high river embankment, this was the first time he had seen the Qing soldiers, and he felt that the Qing soldiers were really worthy of their reputation. Just these hundreds of cavalry, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness should not be weak, and it is much stricter than the cavalry of the official army and the thieves. Compared with their own cavalry, they should also be much stronger in horsemanship.

Li Mu saw that the Qing soldiers had no intention of crossing the river, so he went down the embankment and asked the troops guarding the river to be on guard, and he took the troops back to Fucheng. He only had 600 mobile troops at his disposal, so he couldn't afford to waste time here.

But as soon as Li Mu left, a common man was brought over. He knelt down, pointed to the other side and said, "My lord, on the other side is the Guide Mansion, which is very rich, with a warehouse full of grain, gold and silver. ”

"Oh?" The chieftain, who spoke Chinese, asked, "What about the defenders?" ”

The captive lowered his head and replied: "That is the most powerful team in the vicinity, and the thieves can't beat it, so the Guide Mansion has not been plagued by the thieves, and only then can there be food and money." ”

The general of the Qing soldiers asked again: "How many soldiers, do you know?" ”

"This villain doesn't know." The captive said in fear.

The Qing generals nodded and said, "Yes, there is a reward." ”

The man hurriedly kowtowed and begged: "Don't reward the villain, please let the military master put the villain's insiders back." ”

The Qing soldier general waved his hand and ordered: "Let go of his daughter-in-law!" After that, it was repeated in Manchu.

When the captive heard the order, he hurriedly kowtowed again: "Master Xie, Master Xie." ”

The Li Yan soldiers on the south bank watched the Qing soldiers retreat, thinking that there was nothing wrong. So they sent people to escort the fleeing people who had gathered near the ferry to the outside of the city. In extraordinary times, even refugees must be managed in a unified manner, so as not to be "mixed" and "treacherous".

The way they checked was to look at the hair, ask the refugees to take off the scarves and heads, and then tug at the bun to see if they had shaved their hair. If there are monks and Taoists, they will pay special attention, and it is most common for 'traitors' to dress up these people.

In the evening, Li Mu got a report: the Qing soldiers on the other side ran all over the ferries dozens of miles upstream and downstream, and plundered many people. He didn't care much, as long as his people guarded the ferry, the Qing soldiers should not dare to come. And most of the ferries were left on the south bank, and the Qing soldiers did not have the means to cross the river.

But in the afternoon of the next day, he really got the alarm, and the Qing soldiers gathered three ferries to prepare to cross the river from the nearest ferry to Fucheng.

"Send people to other ferries to watch, to see if the enemy soldiers are attacking the west." Li Mu quickly commanded. Immediately after that, three hundred soldiers were gathered and sent to the ferry for reinforcements.

When he arrived at the ferry, the Qing soldiers were just ready. On each boat sat more than a dozen Qing soldiers, all dressed in cotton armor, and the bubble nails on the cotton armor glistened in the sun.

Li Mou asked the two 'doors' and three-inch guns he brought to go down the embankment, enter the gun position, and form a 'cross' fire with the original two 'guns' of small Franky guns, waiting for the Qing soldiers to enter the 'firing' range. He didn't have many troops in his hands, so he didn't want the Qing soldiers to come ashore. Otherwise, if you are not careful, and you don't wipe out the Qing soldiers, then you will be in trouble. Or with the help of the freshly melted Yellow River water, it is safest to feed these Qing soldiers to fish.

The Qing soldiers on the other side didn't care that reinforcements had already arrived on their side, and some of them were still shouting on the shore, as if they wanted to 'provoke' them and let them fire earlier. It's a pity that the Qing soldiers miscalculated, each of their soldiers had to learn to estimate the distance, whether it was an artillery or a crossbowman, they were absolutely not allowed to 'shoot' outside the 'firing' range. Otherwise, the light will be a military stick, and the heavy will be directly beheaded. So they all looked at the ferryboat that was already slowly moving, and no one cared about the enemies who were not threatening.

When the ferry boat of the Qing soldiers rowed to the center of the river, the artillery commanders reminded their subordinates to prepare and find a good amount in advance. As soon as the ferry entered the 200-step 'firing' range, the commanders of the three-inch guns immediately gave the order to open fire.

"Boom", "boom" two cannon shots, the shotgun flew out of the barrel and flew out in the direction of the ferry. Buckshot struck the shields on both sides of the ferry, clanging. Some of the shields were too strong to hold on, and they had already been cracked. There were also a few buckshots, which hit the ferry, shattering several planks. More projectiles fell in the Yellow River, splashing inconspicuous water 'flowers'.

The Qing soldiers in the middle of the ferry stood up, used their bows and arrows, and quickly 'shot' feather arrows at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side. Originally, they wanted to get closer before 'shooting' the arrows, but the artillery fire of this group of officers and soldiers was too accurate, and if they could not suppress the artillery fire of the officers and soldiers, then they would be in danger.

Before they could 'shoot' the sixth feathered arrow, the sound of "boom" and "boom" began to sound again. This time it was no longer two 'gates', but four 'gates' of artillery fired one after another.

The shotguns that the two 'gates' little Frankie also 'fired', although there were only a dozen buckshots, but after all, they were much better than a single solid projectile.

Buckshot is a little more dense. The shields of the two Qing soldiers were directly shattered, and they could no longer provide them with cover. There was a Qing soldier who stood up and 'shot' feather arrows, but he was directly hit by lead bullets and fell. Although his cotton armor blocked the depth of the lead bullet, the huge force still made him spit blood and lose his combat effectiveness.
