In Chen Yue's opinion, the Eight Banners were ambushed and killed by themselves, and they would definitely not give up, and the Tartar who fled back would definitely lead a large group of men and horses to chase after him. As long as they are led into the ambush circle, the tiger squatting cannon, the flying dragon, a swarm of bees, these firearms are waiting for them. The narrow mountain road, even if you can't wipe them out, will definitely peel off their skin.

The last time he captured the head of four Mantars, he had already promoted his father to the rank of Qianzong, and he had also obtained a nine-rank official position of inspection, if he could capture a dozen or even dozens this time, and report the credit to the imperial court, then maybe it was possible to be a guerrilla deputy general.

It's not that Chen Yue is a fan of officials, but the time before the fall of Beijing is getting less and less, and he must expand his strength in order to calmly deal with this upcoming troubled era. With the corresponding official position, you can justifiably expand your strength, or you have an inspection department, but you have raised tens of thousands of troops, and if you let the court know, you will think that you are going to rebel.

A group of horsemen turned around and galloped back, running at a fast speed, this is only a few miles away from Fangshan County, and the Manchu cavalry in the city will chase after them, if they are not led to the encirclement but are caught up and killed, it is a big joke.

Fortunately, after running for more than 20 miles, the Mantar behind them had not yet chased, and seeing that they were about to reach the ambush circle, several people finally breathed a sigh of relief. But another question came to my mind, did the Mantars not catch up, or did they not chase at all?

Returning to the position and hiding the war horse, Chen Yue climbed the hillside on the left, and found that something was wrong, and a restless atmosphere permeated these ambushed recruits.

"What's going on?" Chen Yue called Chen Ping and asked.

"I don't know what's going on, the news of the battle with the Mantars has spread, and these recruits are all fucking timid, and they are all scared one by one." Chen Ping showed a trace of shame on his face, ashamed of not being able to control the army well.

"Well, these people are all new recruits, and it's the first time they've set foot on the battlefield, and they're fighting against the vicious Mantars, so it's normal to be afraid." At the moment of the war, Chen Yue did not investigate how the news was leaked, maybe this is good, rather than making them afraid now, it is better to be afraid when they are fighting.

"You take this head, show it to all the soldiers, and tell them that this is the head of the Mantar, which was killed by Lao Tzu himself, and the Mantar is also a human, and he will die if he is shot, we occupy the right time and place, what is there to be afraid of!

Tell them that they will be rewarded with a full tartar head, and a reward of twenty taels of silver, or an official promotion. ”

Chen Yue thought for a moment and instructed Liu Neng to mention the captured Mantar head and let Chen Ping take it to appease the army.

Chen Ping didn't take the head for a while, and there were bursts of exclamations from the position, suppressing excitement in the exclamation. As Chen Ping walked by, looking at the hideous Mantar head, the fear in the hearts of these recruits disappeared unconsciously, yes, Mantar is also a human being, and he will also be killed, didn't the inspector just kill a Mantar?

The fear disappeared, replaced by a trace of excitement and anticipation, maybe in a while I can kill a full tartar and get the reward of twenty taels of silver, with these twenty taels of silver, my own life will be much better, and my parents will definitely have a smile on their faces!

Seeing that the soldiers' emotions had stabilized, Chen Yue's heart was relieved, and there was only one thing left, that is, would the Mantars really come as they wished?

Waiting is always the most anxious, but fortunately, I didn't wait long, and after about a cup of tea, I vaguely heard the bursts of horses' hooves.

Finally came, Chen Yue was in good spirits, and hurriedly ordered everyone to keep quiet, and never show their feet.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder, and it became like thunder, and in a few moments, dozens of Tartar cavalry appeared in front of the pass.

The tall war horses, the knights in full clothes, and the slender iron needles erected high on the knights' helmets, although there were only dozens of horses, there was a powerful momentum that emanated.

Listening to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, many of the recruits who were lying behind the stones turned pale in horror, the murderous Eight Banners Mantar really came, most of the soldiers had experienced the fear when the Mantars ransacked the town a few years ago, many people had experienced the pain of losing their loved ones, and the Mantars left them with deep fear.

Hiding on the mountain and looking out, Chen Yue saw that there were not many Mantar cavalry chasing after him, at most there were more than thirty horsemen, so many people were actually just right, and if there were more, I was afraid that it would be a little difficult to eat them.

Hurry up and enter the mountain road, as long as you enter the mountain road, you will pass on the order, roll dozens of stones down the hillside, block their retreat, and then the tiger squatting cannon, a swarm of bees, flying dragons, shoot out in one go, and give his mother some colors to see.

However, just as the Mantar cavalry was about to enter the mountain road, it suddenly stopped, and Chen Yue's eyes couldn't help but widen suddenly.

I saw that the Mantars stopped for a moment in front of the mountain road, and did not send anyone in to check, but turned their horses' heads and turned back, and after a while, the backs of the Mantar cavalry disappeared, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually became inaudible.

How did you leave like that? Including Chen Yue, all the soldiers stood up and looked at the mountain pass in the distance in silence.

After working for most of the day, the traps that I worked so hard to lay were so in vain! However, in addition to sighing, more soldiers felt relaxed for a while, and the vicious Mantar retreated, so there was no need to fight them anymore......

"Hahaha......" Chen Yue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, the laughter was so loud and so cheerful, faintly echoing among the mountains, causing all the soldiers to look at it in surprise.

"I didn't expect that Man Tartar would be afraid, and he didn't dare to pursue him when he was killed by Lao Tzu!" The laughter stopped, and Chen Yue said loudly.

"Hahaha" The soldiers also laughed, and the always ferocious Mantar was scared away, and it was a happy thing to think about, and the frustration of not being able to ambush disappeared suddenly.

"Maybe the Tartars are out of caution, maybe they have discovered our ambush, but I don't think they will give up, we have to be careful in the future." Yang Zhengping quietly came to Chen Yue's side and reminded in a low voice.

"I see." Chen Yue nodded, the ambush failed but exposed himself, which was really a thing that outweighed the loss.

On the way back to Xishan Town, the team unexpectedly encountered a large number of Xishan Town fathers and elders, including four or five hundred people, all of whom were fooled by Shan Minglei into coming to help in the battle.

When they heard that the Mantars were frightened away, these people let out bursts of cheers and cheered for the inspectors.
