Chapter 597: Fire Rain

Along the way, it was stopped and stopped, and in the middle of the night, the Liaozhen soldiers entered the Puhe Institute, which was only a distance of more than 20 miles, but they were harassed by large and small Huazhou cavalry.

The Huazhou brigade did not keep up, the first 3,000 cavalry with the new type of firearms was the largest group, the back was at most more than 1,000 people, and the small ones were also a few hundred, these people were excellent in horsemanship, or provoked on the edge of the Ming army's brigade.

Or by virtue of the momentum to rush straight into the formation, the Liaozhen soldiers at this time are 30,000 to 40,000 men and horses, all of them are tired divisions, to fight hard with the other side, the opponent's are light horses, and the horsepower is abundant, as long as it is running, this side will definitely not be able to catch up, if you don't fight, these enemies are not vegetarians.

can only walk and stop for a while, and continue to walk after the harassing enemy soldiers are far away, so that the already more tired body can not stand it, but the Liaozhen soldiers are already numb from the general soldier Li Gufeng and the soldiers below, as long as you come, I will fight, if you don't come to fight, I will leave.

The generals of the Chinese army are only the elite troops who restrain the general army of Liaozhen, that is, those Li Gufeng's personal generals, and they have given up on the soldiers on the periphery, since there is no one to take care of it, every time the Huazhou army harasses it, it will break up a formation of the remnants of the Ming army, and dozens of casualties and hundreds of people will be scattered.

As long as the Ming army escaped, they didn't care if they fled there, they just dispersed, and these Ming troops were also driven around, and they didn't dare to return to their own team.

At the end of such a day, when Li Gufeng entered Puhe, there were already more than 20,000 people left around him, and most of the baggage and grain and grass were lost on the way.

Why do people rarely see blood stains and wounds on their bodies, but these soldiers who came back are a little dirty except for the dust, and the others can't see anything, but everyone looks extremely tired, many soldiers enter the city and fortifications of Puhesuo, and no matter what queue, they drop their weapons and find a place to rely on is paralyzed there, motionless, the people here still think that something is wrong, and hurriedly go over to look, but find that the soldier who fell to the ground closed his eyes and snored, and was actually asleep.

Rao is such a defeated atmosphere, but this scene makes people really can't help laughing, or more precisely, crying and laughing. The town guard of Puhe is the duty of a thousand households, and the level gap between the general army of Liao Town is also thousands of miles, and he can't say anything at all, but a personal soldier next to the general soldier came to order, so he had to listen respectfully, there is nothing to say here, nothing more than to prepare grain and grass supplies.

Where would there be so much food and grass in the guard post of about 1,000 people, but the soldier didn't want to continue to say more after he finished speaking, so he also found a place to rest. The thousand households were worried for a while, but found that most of the people were already asleep, and they didn't know what they could wake up to.

The best place in Puhe is the guest house of the post station, which naturally became Li Gufeng's residence at this time, and the defeat, harassment and escape made him also exhausted, but at this time he was not in a hurry to rest, and called the head of his family in, sent the other people in the room out, and asked in a deep voice:

"Where are all the minions of my Li family?"

The leader of the family showed a rather embarrassed look on his face, and said hesitantly:

"Back to my lord, these rabbit cubs are looking for a place to sleep, so I'm going to whip them up and let them guard them."

The voice of the chief soldier of Liaozhen was slightly hoarse, the expression on his face was almost distorted, and he shouted angrily in a low voice:

"Fool, call all the people up, and say that in order to prevent the enemy from harassing them, all the horses must be gathered together, in case the soldiers break up, and to prevent anyone from fleeing in the middle of the night, and what to do, do it quickly, and if anyone stops, cut off the head directly."

The leader of the family general was a little stunned and didn't know what to say, Li Gufeng, the chief soldier of Liao Town, wanted to get angry, but he didn't make a sound, and threw the token around him casually, this is a necessary token for the order, and the family general took the token, although he was a little ignorant, but he was still ready to do it.

When he was about to bring the door, he heard the chief soldier behind him say slowly:

"The soldiers of the Li family and the horses gathered will be put together at the south gate, and they will be guarded by the soldiers of our Li family, so I can rest assured!"

The leader of the family who heard this was shocked, and looked back rudely, but saw that the chief soldier Li Gufeng had no expression on his face, just waved his hand a little anxiously, and the leader of the family hurriedly went.

When he went outside, there were always some soldiers who had not slept on the horse, and they were all called up by him, and then began to search for Roman horses in the city, but things were much easier than he thought, most of the soldiers slept there as if they were dead pigs, even if the horses were taken away, they couldn't pay attention to it at all, but there were a few smart ones, and they didn't make a noise, but followed them to the south gate of the Thousand Households.

Thousands of households naturally can not live in 20,000 or 30,000 people, Liaozhen general and his family soldiers will naturally live in the thousand households, the rest of the people are driven out, even including the people in the thousand households, the army is outside for a day, camping and marching half, this is the most basic requirement for the army, the army fights, every place must set up a camp, the camp is actually the city on which the army depends.

Whether it is solid and strong, but it is a matter of life, the accommodation standard of each thousand households can actually put more than 5,000 troops, Puhe because of its proximity to Shenyang, the scale is larger, that is, the scale of about 10,000 people, which even includes the fortifications around the fortress.

Now it is squeezed in several times the number of people, and these Ming troops do not have the slightest idea of building a walled city, they just want to sleep there for a while, they don't want anything else, you have cut off my head now, I also want to sleep in a posture, at this time the guards are surrounded by those soldiers who were driven out of the Pu River.

It was getting dark, and the cavalry, which had been harassing almost constantly during the day, did not appear, as if to let the Ming army repair here.

A mile away from Puhesuo, many soldiers were on standby, they all walked for half an hour before they came here, most of them were soldiers with bows and arrows on their backs, only a dozen horses wrapped in cotton cloth hooves, and large wooden barrels on their backs, these foot soldiers in Huazhou were as close to Puhesu as possible lightly.

In addition to the lanterns hanging at the intersection and the head of the city, the rest of the place was dead silent, occasionally snoring could be heard, the soldiers of the Puhe place were guarding in those places with lights, the autumn was cold, they were all there to curse the army that drove them out of the city, and at the same time felt panic, they didn't know who the enemy was, but they knew from the words of these defeated soldiers that the other party was extremely powerful.

The soldiers on guard kept casting their eyes into the darkness, wondering if the enemy was hiding in it, but it was the second half of the moon, and there was not even a moon in the sky, and nothing could be seen except where the lights were shining.

Suddenly, a fire was lit not far away, which was not noticeable, it may have been that the sentry soldiers had returned with torches, but this fire suddenly spread into a line of fire, because of the visual gap in the night, it seemed that a fire snake was crawling around the front winding.

When the fire was lit, I saw that in the reflection of the light, there were black soldiers standing behind it, all of them holding arrows to make fire in the tinder.

What they were holding in their other hand were all big bows of equal height, and these big bows could reach more than three hundred steps downwind, and there were still many people behind these archers, and the people of Puhe were already stunned, and only then did they react.

Some soldiers were just about to strike the gong, but they were shot through the throat by a cold arrow from nowhere, but the guards of Puhesu were well arranged, so some people still evaded the plot and shouted there:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

It's just the next reaction, if it weren't for the fact that it was at the moment of life and death at this time, it could really be described as crying and laughing, no one reacted at all, and there were still people muttering and scolding a few words below, saying that they were sleeping comfortably, it was really noisy, and the Ming soldiers of Puhesuo who were shouting suddenly stopped their voices.

The swishing sound in mid-air sounded, as if a sudden wind blew up, agitating the window paper full of holes, and the long arrows shot by the big bow were all with flames, as if countless meteors crossed the sky, magnificent, representing the beauty of death, many Ming troops outside the Puhe Institute were half-asleep and half-awake, and when they opened their eyes to see such a scene in the sky, they thought they were still in a dream.

This kind of big bow is a long-range weapon of the Mongolian tribe, a little bit that the range is long enough, but the power after flying is not enough, but to bring the flame to the city, this is enough, in autumn and winter, the north has to accumulate firewood and grass, and at this time the weather is dry, the firewood and grass are dry, as long as it is stained with Mars, it will burn.

Not long after, the Ming army, which had just rested for less than two hours, woke up, and there was already a fire inside and outside the city, and the people and horses were panicked, noisy and abnormal.

The Liaozhen soldiers were all in a panic, and finally they couldn't contain it and began to disperse......
