Chapter 12: The Pursuit
Xiao Chaogui roared, opened the machete of more than 80 catties, and led his own soldiers to hold a handsome flag with white characters on a yellow background, and plunged into the battle formation of the Qing soldiers. Wherever the machete went, the Qing soldiers dodged one after another, and some who were not afraid of death stepped forward, and they became ghosts under the knife in two or three rounds. When the sect members saw that Xiao Chaogui was so heroic, their morale was immediately boosted, and they followed him to kill him, and the battle formation of the Qing soldiers was torn apart.
"Look at the guns!" General Liu in the Qing army formation also knew that if he didn't stop this person, his life would have to be explained here. In the crowd, he coldly shot Xiao Chaogui's shoulder socket.
Xiao Chaogui's body moved, and he just flashed over. When he found that someone had attacked him, he couldn't help but get angry, and when he saw that this person was still an officer, he picked up the machete and slashed it at the head.
General Liu raised his gun, and the machete smashed sparks on the gun, which shook his mouth and bleed, and he almost threw the gun away. He knew that the other party's strength was far superior to his own, so he didn't dare to fight, so he turned around and wanted to run.
Xiao Chaogui couldn't let him run, chased forward, swung the machete, entered from Liu Shenjiang's right shoulder, and went out with his left waist. "Click!" Liu Shen was split into two knots alive, and blood spurted out and sprinkled all over the ground. The Qing soldiers lost command and soon surrendered on their knees.
"Tie them all up! Escort back! Xiao Chaogui instructed his subordinates, the matter is so ironic, the rope that the Qing soldiers were originally going to use to tie up the thieves is now tied to their own hands.
The overall situation is determined, Yang Xiuqing, who has been commanding from a high place, is also relieved, after all, this is the first time that the God Worship Sect has gone into battle, and this victory will be of great help to everyone's confidence in defeating the Qing army, and they will be even more convinced that they will be invincible with God's blessing.
"Xiaoshan, you also take your brothers to chase after you, and you all practice your courage." Yang Xiuqing knew that the soldiers around him were red-eyed, watching others fighting and killing, and he couldn't wait to go into battle to kill himself.
Yang Xiaoshan secretly complained in his heart, people who had never been on the battlefield thought that the battlefield was fun and that it was a pleasure to kill the enemy. really moved, that heart was beating, and that life and death were not a joke. Fortunately, this battle has entered the stage of sweeping, and it can't sweep everyone's interest. "Let's go!" They also entered the battlefield together.
Iktambu was a bit clever, and he knew that his tall head was too conspicuous. When he fled, he abandoned his horse, threw away his helmet and official uniform, and mixed with the rout. He couldn't imagine that this gang of thieves had been chasing, and there were fewer and fewer people around him as he ran. In the end, there were only four or five soldiers left around him who were still following him, but he was unfamiliar with the people here, and he was actually lost, and he couldn't tell where he was coming from and where he was going. What's even more unfortunate is that he found that he seemed to be running in a circle, and he was approaching the battlefield again, so frightened that he quickly found a random direction and slipped away.
The worshippers of God worship are happily collecting trophies on the battlefield, these Qing soldiers are really fat, there are a lot of good things, not only the soldiers' leather armor, but also the food that the Qing soldier officer brought with him are some rare things and luxuries, and everyone has never seen them and is still looking at them.
Yang Xiaoshan was still observing the enemy's situation, he suddenly found that a small group of Qing soldiers seemed to be heading in the direction of the Splendid Camp, and his heart immediately hung up, Qiao Mei was in the Splendid Camp, would she be in danger?
At this time, Shi Dakai happened to come back with people chasing after the Qing soldiers.
"Brother Shi, just now I saw five or six Qing soldiers heading towards the Splendid Battalion." Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly greeted Shi Dakai. Shi Dakai is a bold person, he never takes a stand in the church, and his popularity is very good. Because of the previous relationship at the Yuelai Hotel, they have a particularly good relationship.
"Chase!" Shi Dakai immediately chased after him with more than 20 of his own soldiers. Yang Xiaoshan was not worried about Qiao Mei, and also followed behind.
Shi Dakai led people to chase them all the way to a ridge. This is a large cornfield, and the tall corn stalks rustle by the autumn wind, setting off layers of waves, and it is really difficult for people to find if they hide inside.
The crowd stopped and took a closer look. There were several corn stalks in the cornfield that had obviously been stepped on, and everyone suddenly became excited, "Look where you are running." ”
During the pursuit, Yang Xiaoshan's straw shoes were pierced by a sharp stone, and the soles of his feet were bleeding and he was pulled behind. He sat on the ridge and tore the cloth from his coat to wrap the stabbed soles of his feet. Then he suddenly noticed a figure swaying in the cornfield in front of him. "Who?" Yang Xiaoshan scolded a little nervously.
This person was Iktambu, and he let his own soldiers attract the attention of Shi Dakai and others, and found a place to hide. After Shi Dakai and the others ran over, he ran in the opposite direction again. Just when he was secretly proud of his plan to "lose the car and protect the handsome", he didn't expect that there was someone behind him, and he was also discovered.
Yang Xiaoshan looked at this person carefully, although this person did not have a uniform, the official boots on the soles of his feet betrayed him.
"There's a big official here!" Yang Xiaoshan roared.
At the same time, Iktambu rushed over, and he could see that the young man in front of him was only half a child, and it seemed that the soles of his feet were still injured, and he felt that he was not a big threat. He thinks that he is the general of the Eight Banners in the end, and it shouldn't be a problem to deal with a hairy boy. As soon as I heard Xiaoshan's shouting, I made up my mind that I had to deal with this obstructive guy first.
Yang Xiaoshan is indeed a little weak-hearted, he has never used real swords and guns with others, this first time he met a big official, or one-on-one, fortunately, the other party is bare-handed, and he still carries a sword. He drew his saber and slashed at Iktambu with a youthful breath of blood.
After more than a dozen rounds, Iktambu easily dodged Xiaoshan's attack with his many years of experience in the army, and he also found that Xiaoshan was unstable and flawed because of a foot injury, so he took advantage of Xiaoshan's unstable body and swept Xiaoshan with a sweeping leg.
After Yang Xiaoshan was swept down, the back of his head hit the ground, and he was blindfolded, and he didn't come back to his senses, and his matching sword was also taken off. By this time, Iktambu had drawn the dagger hidden in his boot and was ready to stab the mountain in the heart. Seeing that the situation was at stake, Iktambu's body suddenly paused, Yang Xiaoshan took this opportunity to immediately grab the saber on the ground, and stabbed Iktambu with both hands.
When Iktambu fell, Yang Xiaoshan realized that he had been shot in the back with an arrow on the shaft of the arrow. It was Shi Da who saved himself with an open arrow.
"Brother Yang, you have made a great contribution, you are a decent second-grade deputy general, and you are still a man." Shi Dakai checked the corpse, found Iktambu's waist card, and looked at Xiaoshan with a smile and said.
"Brother Shi, don't hurt me, if it weren't for your arrow, my life would be gone." Yang Xiaoshan was really a little scared when he thought back to that moment just now.
"I'm not wrong, my arrow didn't hit him, your sword pierced his heart." Shi Dakai said, pointing to Iktambu's corpse.
"Brother Shi, I can't fight with you for this credit, otherwise what will I Yang Xiaoshan become?" Yang Xiaoshan's face was serious, he resolutely couldn't ask for this credit.
Seeing that Xiaoshan was so resolute, Shi Dakai was not a person who twisted, "Forget it, don't be humble either, this credit belongs to the two of us, and the other brothers also count as a share." Let's go, go back and celebrate! ”
