Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ambush

At the head of Xicheng City, Fangshan County, the fire was raging in the city gate tower, and several Eight Banners soldiers guarding the city were sitting around the fire, roasting beef and drinking.

"Akito is so weak, I even his wife and daughter last night, and that Akito didn't even dare to fart next to him." An eight-banner soldier named Acton said with his eyebrows fluttering.

"What is the matter with his wife and daughter, the house I went to, before I could open my mouth, the old man knelt down and took out all his wealth, crying and begging that as long as he didn't kill anyone, all the things in the family could be taken away. And pushed the two daughters on me, the little daughter was only ten years old, dry and had no meat, of course I didn't want to, I pressed his wife to the table, and the old thing was still smiling and waiting for tea and water. Another Eight Banners soldier named Hutab told what happened to him.

"Damn, Ming people are so cowardly but occupy such a good place, it's really unfair to be immortal." The third Eight Banners soldier sighed.

"Hey, sooner or later, one day, this Daming world of flowers is full of people. , go out and put the water out. Acton said and walked out.

"What's the matter, Acton, isn't it too old to be useful, and you only play with two women and become a soft-footed shrimp." Hutabhaha laughed.

"Phew, you're useless, Lao Tzu Night Imperial Eight Girls don't talk anymore!" Acton looked back and cursed.

"Come, ignore him, let's drink, we won't have such a leisurely life for a few days. Lord Abula has already spread the word, and in a few days we will take the prisoners in the city to Bazhou and join the brigade. Hutab raised his glass and greeted the crowd.

"By the way, Hutab, how much silver did you get this time?" One of the Eight Banners asked in a low voice.

"It's not much, two hundred taels, seventy percent to Lord Abula, and the rest is less than forty taels." Hutab said proudly, "It doesn't matter how much money there is, what makes me happiest is that I robbed two ploughing oxen, and two slaves, and eight adult men, and now my hundred acres of land by the Liao River can be cultivated." ”

"Come, there are cavalry under the city." At this moment, Acton, who had gone to pee outside, suddenly shouted. Several people hurriedly picked up their weapons and went out of the city tower, lying on the battlements and looking down, they saw that there were indeed two horsemen wandering not far from the city, and the knights on the horses looked up from time to time to look at the situation in the city.

"Where did this Ming army come from, so bold, watch me shoot them!" Khuttab was to draw his bow and arrow from his waist.

"Save it, Hutab, didn't you see them outside the range, you can't shoot like this." Acton scoffed.

"Who said I couldn't shoot them, I'll let you see my ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps today." Hutab was so angry that he drew his bow.

"Forget it, Hutab, if you go down with this arrow, they will definitely turn around and run, it's better for us to secretly go down to the city and open the city gate, and chase after it, not to mention the two heads, at least one person can capture a good war horse!" Acton pressed the strong bow in Hutab's hand and suggested.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Hutab thought for a moment, put the bow into the bow, and the two walked down the city road. The other Eight Banners looked at them with a smile and didn't fight with them.

However, the Ming army outside the city was too cunning, and as soon as the two opened the city gate and rushed out on horseback, they saw that the two Ming soldiers had turned their horses and fled into the distance.

"Chase after them, they won't be able to run far!" Looking at the clumsy appearance of the two Ming soldiers when they turned their horses' heads, Acton couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The two hurriedly urged the war horse and chased down. The horses of these two Ming armies are good horses in Liaodong at a glance, although the two Ming armies are not good at riding and running slowly.

Actun and Hutabu were not in a hurry at all, they were born as hunters in the old forest, and they had patience, and with the desperate beating of the war horses of these two Ming troops, their speed would drop down after running a few miles.

Sure enough, it took less than a stick of incense to run, and I saw the speed of the two knights in front of me slow down.

"Run, I'll let you run!" Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, Hutab drew his bow again, and was about to shoot the arrow forward.

"Be careful!" Acton noticed that the road had suddenly narrowed, and that there seemed to be something unusual about the road surface, and hurriedly reminded Huta to preach.

"What?" Hutab was stunned, at this moment, suddenly the front two ropes collapsed from the ground, Hutab hurriedly clamped the war horse with his legs, the war horse jumped over the first rope, but was tripped by the second one, "sparse" screaming and planted forward.

Hutab threw away the longbow in his hand, pulled his legs out of the stirrups, and jumped to the ground when the war horse fell to the ground, so as to avoid the misery of being overwhelmed by the war horse, but still fell on the ground. Just as he was about to stand up, the sound of the war horse walked in, and he saw the two Ming knights who were being chased turn their horses and turn their heads back.

"Hit the mark!" Acton screamed, and as the tripping rope jumped, he forcibly pulled the reins, and the horse screamed and finally stopped.

Drawing a curved bow and feathered arrows from his bow, Acton was about to rescue Hutab, who had tripped over his horse, when he saw three Ming soldiers leap out of the roadside, spears in their hands, and lunge at him.

The horse lost speed and was a live target in front of the pikemen, and Acton quickly turned his horse's head and stepped back, intending to retreat some distance before attacking with his bow and arrow.

At this moment, a scream came, and Acton looked back to see Hutab screaming and falling to the ground, and a young Ming soldier was expressionless and drew his spear from Hutab's corpse.

"Hutab!" Acton screamed and was about to turn his horse's head and shoot with his bow and arrow, when out of the corner of his eye, he saw a Ming soldier holding a fire gun, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was facing him.

"Not good!" Acton screamed secretly, didn't dare to turn back, and ran towards Fangshan County with his war horse. The Ming army came prepared, there were as many as five people, and the musket and lancers were readily available, and they would definitely not be able to escape today, so it was better to go back to the city and move troops, and then come to avenge Hutab!

"Don't shoot, let him go back and report the news." Seeing that Wei Yang was about to pull the trigger, Chen Yue hurriedly stopped him.

"We actually killed a Mantar, we actually killed a Mantar!" Looking at the dead Eight Banner soldiers on the ground, Liu Daneng couldn't help himself with excitement.

"Pack up, the full Tartar cavalry of the brigade will soon be chasing after you." Chen Yue commanded. Commanding the crowd to cut off the head of the Mantar, stripping off his armor, bows, arrows, bows, water cans, and equipment, all the equipment was unloaded, and loaded on the back of the war horse. As for this full tartar horse, one of the horse's legs was tripped by a rope and was already in use.

Chen Yue didn't want to waste it, so he ordered to unload the four legs of the war horse and bring it back to eat meat, and then the group stepped on the war horse and walked back.
