Chapter 163: The Tartars are in pursuit

To the east of Juye County, Caozhou Prefecture, in the burned Qing army camp, Bolo, dressed in armor, rode on a war horse, controlled the reins of his horse, and swirled, scanning the destroyed camp.

His face was gloomy, and he saw a pile of Tartar heads like a hill in the middle of the camp, and several vultures fanned their wings, and stopped on them, not pecking at the eyeballs with their beaks, but with a loud cry.

Around the pile of heads, the camp was littered with sleek headless corpses.

Don't think about it, Bolo also knows that it is the body of a Qing warrior.

The gang of thieves not only killed the Qing warriors, but also insulted the corpses of the Qing warriors, which made Bolo feel extremely ashamed.

"Beizi, all the materials in the camp were removed by the thieves, and those who couldn't be moved were also burned by fire!" A blue-armored tartar galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground to report.

"Qiyu Beizi, there is not a single war horse left in the stable, all of them have been moved away by the thieves!" Another Tartar galloped in.

Bolo's face sank like water, and the Tartar cavalry stationed in the camp around him was also silent, and they were all suppressed by the scene in the camp.

More than 1,000 people died at once, although many of them were foreign soldiers, but it was also the biggest loss suffered by the Eight Banners since they entered the army.

"What about the thieves? What message did you leave behind? The "clucking" sound of Bolo's teeth has been completely angered by Gao Yihuan.

Abatai is the seventh son of the old slave, but he has not been able to be crowned king for a long time, so he is naturally anxious, so he wants to take advantage of the merits of this attack to be crowned the king of the county, which is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to retreat and fight Linqing.

Now it seems that even if he defeats Linqing, the king of the county should not think about it, and Abatai cannot be crowned king, so Bolo can only continue to be a beizi, which makes him feel ashamed in his heart, and at the same time hates the thief who ruined his father's and son's dream.

"Back to Beizi, the minions found the mark they left in the west, and they should have followed the thieves to the west."

Bolo suddenly shouted angrily, "Then what are you waiting for, the herald army will immediately go west, change horses and not people, the general must catch up with this group of thieves, and if I don't kill them alive, it will be difficult to dispel the evil anger in my heart!" ”

In the south of Teng County, on the side of the Grand Canal, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers gathered here.

Huang Degong is a trustworthy person, Gao Yihuan gave him 800 heads, to see if there are heroes in the Ming army, he accepted the head, and he can't let the thief army underestimate him.

The first 300 heads can be regarded as Gao Yihuan's radical method, and the heads sent by Zhao Zhuzi in the back tell the officials and soldiers that this battle can really be fought a dozen.

The main force of the Qing army has retreated to Linqing, and after preparing to break the city, it will immediately return to the north, and there are not many people and horses to monitor in Tengxian County, and now more than half of them are chasing Gao Yihuan, and the opportunity is in front of the Xuzhou official army.

In the wilderness south of the river embankment, tens of thousands of troops gathered, banners like clouds, swords and guns, and the neighing of people and horses.

At this time, Ma Shiying, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Fang Guoan and others will stand on the river embankment and look at the east bank.

Seeing that the time was noon, and the people who were investigating the news had not returned, Liu Liangzuo and others, who were already not firm in their willpower, began to waver again.

Several people were talking on the sidelines, worried about whether Tengxian Jiannu didn't chase the gang of thieves at all, or whether Jiannu already knew the news that they were going north.

"It's coming!" At this moment, Huang Fei, who was dressed in armor, suddenly pointed to the river.

Everyone hurriedly looked up, and saw a small boat, rowing over.

After a while, the boat approached the shore, and a scout hurried ashore with a solemn expression.

"What's the situation!" Ma Shiying asked urgently.

"Back to the Governor." The scout Gu couldn't take a breath, and said loudly: "It has been found out that the main force of Jiannu has left Teng County and headed to the northwest, and there are only 3,000 blue-armored Han troops in Teng County. ”

Ma Shiying's face turned red when he heard this, and the whole person was as if he had drunk high, and he was emotional, "Okay~Good~Good~ This battle can be fought!" ”

Many generals also lifted their spirits one by one, and the opportunity for the secret path came.

They nested in Xuzhou for more than half a year, never fought, originally thought that even if they waited until the Tartars came out, they would not have the opportunity to fight with the Tartars, but they didn't think that they could pick up a leak at this time, and wait for such an excellent opportunity.

Now that they have killed tens of thousands of people, can't they kill the fake Tartars three years ago?

Liu Liangzuo, who was originally hesitant, suddenly said to Ma Shiying: "Governor, give the order, this battle will be won." ”

Ma Shiying was very excited in his heart, "Okay, the army is ready, cross the river immediately and kill Bento County." ”

After Huang Degong listened to the order, he immediately went down the embankment and came to the main formation, and then waved his hand, and his subordinates handed over a pot of wine, Huang Chuangzi raised his head and drank it all, threw the wine pot away, and roared angrily: "Huang Fei, order five thousand fine horses, this town will be the first to kill Teng County, let the thieves see how this town fights!" ”

After speaking, he glanced at a few people and horses on the side, "Grind and wait, and when you get to Teng County, the cooked ducks will fly." ”

The order was flying, and the soldiers rushed across the embankment, set up small boats, connected them in a line, and then laid wooden planks to form a pontoon bridge.

The cavalrymen sitting on the edge of the canal got up one after another, pulled their horses over the embankment, and then flew on their horses and grabbed the pontoon bridge.

In less than half an hour, the five thousand elite horsemen were assembled. Huang Degong came to the front of the army, did a simple mobilization, and didn't say anything else, only said that this battle was someone else wrapped dumplings to feed the pigs, if it was not good to fight, then from below him, it would be really a pig, find a crack in the ground and get in.

The thieves sent their heads, this is to provoke the officers and soldiers, and those who want to make faces feel very ashamed, this time they must play a majestic role, and they can't let the thieves underestimate it.

At that moment, Huang Degong roared, and he galloped out first, and thousands of cavalry behind him rushed to him.

Liu Liangzuo and others, who were still mobilizing soldiers on the side, turned their heads and saw that Huang Degong had already taken the first step, and he didn't care about the tirade, so he hurriedly finished his words and summed them up, which meant three words, grabbing people's heads.

In this way, then this battle is nine times out of ten, and the officers and soldiers who have been defeated in successive battles can rarely hear more inspiring words than these three words.

At the moment, the official army of Xuzhou, more than 60,000 people, left 20,000 to guard Xuzhou, in case of accidents, and the remaining total of more than 40,000 people in the horse infantry army, surging towards Teng County.

In the camp of the Qing army in Tengxian County, Tong Tulai was arranging men and horses to bluff, in case the Ming army in the south noticed the reduction of the strength of Tengxian County.

Although he despised the Ming army, it was always right to be careful, but at this moment, a blue armor stumbled in, "Gushan, something is wrong, the barbarians from Xuzhou have come over." ”

"What?" Tong Tulai was so shocked that the teacup in his hand almost fell, "What's the matter?" Where are the barbarians? ”

"Huang Chuangzi has run to the city~"

In the territory of Caozhou Prefecture, thirty miles east of the Yellow River, in the wilderness, nearly 10,000 soldiers and people were mixed together, rushing westward in a hurry.

Sergeant Gao put his weapons and armor on his horses, and led his horses to run as fast as he could.
