Since entering Sichuan, the Qing army has been brutal and murderous, in just a few days, more than 30 camps have been broken through, and more than 2,000 villagers have been killed.

Haoge, Nikan, Aobai, Duzi, Ma Lashi and others led their troops to flee all the way, and when it was time to hold the lamp, everyone was sleepy and tired, and they fled for half a day in a row.

Hauge ordered all the troops to set up camp and let the horses rest and rest, so that they could wait for the hard battle tomorrow.

Yang Lin stood on the hillside in the distance, holding the binoculars with both hands and looking at the Qing army camp in the distance, even though the mountain wind blew on his face and neck, he did not shrink.

Due to the short time of winter, the volunteers also launched a counterattack before the sun set, and pursued all the way, chasing for three hours before catching up with the other party more than 30 miles north of the city.

According to the intelligence at the front, Jing Keqin and Yang Bingyi's regiment had already crossed the road and rushed to the front 20 miles to set up defenses half an hour ago.

The Tartars, on the other hand, occupy more than a dozen hills in front of them, probably delusionally trying to stay on guard for the night.

Seeing that Yang Lin's face was flushed, Jiang Dingzhen hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him to set up a screen, so that the mountain wind was not so cold.

Yang Lin opened his eyes, glared at Bu Ning, Yao Chonglie, and Lou Yi and said, "Bu Ning, Yao Chonglie, you bring me a war horse over and tell everyone about the characteristics of the war horse." ”

Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie looked at Yang Lin in puzzlement, and Yin Chengqi next to him smiled, watching Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie each lead a war horse over.

After everyone sat down, Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie pointed to the war horse and said: "My lord, this horse is closer than my own brother, if it weren't for this war horse, my old horse might have been chopped by others."

This horse has a docile temperament, and it never takes the initiative to attack people and other animals, so everyone can rest assured that they have horses.

The horse is more human than the dog, and when I come back from afar, he often runs over like a family member.

In addition, although this horse is very fast, it is not suitable for long-distance sports, and often needs to rest after running seventy or eighty miles, otherwise it may be exhausted to death.

Also, the horse did not see very clearly, and had to carry a torch when walking at night, but not during the day. Don't run behind a horse, as a stranger will definitely be hindered when he runs behind a horse

Also, the horse sleeps, usually for 3 hours after the night, and also naps during the day, but during the day when it naps, it often stands there, and at night the horse lies down and the wild horse stands upright.

…..”

Yang Lin was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Oh, then according to you, are the Tartar horses very tired now?" ”

Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie smiled and said, "Of course, my lord, don't talk about Tartar horses, even the war horses of our cavalry regiment."

But fortunately, I just asked for dozens of loads of grain from the nearby village, and now the horses are still eating food. ”

Yang Lin smiled and looked at everyone: "Okay, very good, now the Tartar war horse is very tired."

You can get grain from the surrounding villages to feed the horses, Hauge may not be able to, and besides, the other side has a lot of horses, how can there be so much food?"

Yin Chengqi smiled and said: "What the lord said is good, the Qing army is trapped in a radius of four or five miles, not to mention that it can be levied grain, even if it can be levied, there is not so much coarse grain to feed the horses."

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Sichuan, burning, killing and looting have been worse than the rogue in the past, and the people almost all want to drink their blood raw, how can they supply their food? ”

Yang Lin picked up the binoculars and looked at it again, then turned around and looked at the sketch beside him, just now the staff asked a few surrounding villagers to draft this topographic map.

After looking at it, Yang Lin asked a sixty-year-old man with white hair next to him and said, "Old man, tell me, where are the Manchu Tatar cavalry?" ”

The old man was full of big men, and shook his head again and again, how can everyone know where the Manchu Tartars are?

Maybe he felt that he was asking too much, so he snorted to Bu Ning and Yao Chonglie next to him, and the other party thought about it and asked, "Uncle, don't be afraid, you just need to tell me the places where the water and grass are lush in those places."

Uncle, you let go of the cattle, there are so many Tartar cavalry, there is no food to eat, and the war horses always need river water. You tell me that there are big rivers in those places, and the ponds will do. ”

The old man was overjoyed, and hurriedly pointed to the map and kept comparing it, so that he could understand that there were three large ponds in the area, and that the Tartar cavalry might be grazing their horses here.

Yang Lin was overjoyed and asked if there was a small road to outflank him, and everyone nodded again and again.

found more than ten villagers to lead the way, and sent three raid teams to attack and harass the Manchu cavalry, while Yao Zhijiao, Feng Youqing, Wang Zhibang and others continued to lead their troops to storm the green battalion soldiers and horses.

It's the middle of December, and it's approaching sub-hour, and the moon is still very hazy in the sky, and you can see a meter away.

In order not to get lost, everyone wrapped a strip of white cloth around their waists, with a guide leading the way in front and a brother in the back pulling a strip of cloth about half a meter long.

Because they wanted to bypass the opponent's infantry to block the attack, everyone walked around and around, walked more than ten miles of mountain roads, and spent an hour, and arrived at the destination at the end of the day.

There was a neighing of horses in front, and the guide He Sangou reconfirmed that this was probably the largest river pond within a radius of four or five miles, and the Tatar cavalry must rest here.

Hearing the great joy, they beckoned everyone to disperse slowly, ready flints, torches, and thunder.

After hiding in the dark and igniting the sparks, everyone stood up one by one and raised the torches in their hands and was about to charge forward.

The battle was so great that it obviously alarmed the soldiers who were guarding the horses around, and everyone was quite alarmed when they saw the volunteer infantry appear here like divine soldiers, and many people beat gongs and drums, and reminded the cavalry who were resting in the distance.

When it was too late, Du Jigui led more than 300 people to rush into the formation, and threw the ignited earth-shattering thunder into the horses in front of them in front of them.

The horses were obviously disturbed by the sudden attack, and they ran back and forth with a long roar, and the whole scene was very chaotic.

Hearing the surprise attack on the horse farm by the volunteers, Haoge was shocked, the Qing army relied on war horses, and without war horses as support, the Qing army was like a toothless tiger, and the threat was sharply reduced.

Because of the fight a day and fled until midnight, the food and grass were all lost, everyone could not set up camp to rest, three or five groups found a little dead branch to light by the fire to drive away the cold, and now heard that the horses were attacked, one by one rushed over regardless of fatigue, in order to find their own horses.

When they arrived at the horse farm, the horses ran around in panic, and in a hurry they grabbed a horse that had turned over, but it was also very difficult to stabilize the disturbed horses for a moment.

In addition, more than half of the three hundred brothers led by Du and Gui were able to ride horses, although they were not good at riding, but they were still able to fight on horseback, and now after seeing the reaction of the Tartar cavalry, some of them continued to hinder the soldiers of the Manchurian Eight Banners from seizing the horses, while others rushed to the Tartar cavalry and attacked each other from behind.

Yang Lin stood on the hillside in the distance, saw the chaos in the distance, and knew that Du Jigui and the others had succeeded, so he immediately led all the troops to attack.

When they saw the volunteers coming, the Qing army couldn't resist it, and the Manchu Qing Su prince Haoge, Belenikan, Zhenglan Banner and Yellow Banner Commander Ao Bai hurriedly led his troops to escape.

But on the way, Jing Keqin and Yang Bingyi were robbed and killed again, although the Qing army fought and killed, but the Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry on which it relied had already lost more than half, and now it was impossible to fight at all, and the combat strength of the Qing army's green battalion was even more under the volunteers.

Although the Han army was in the blue banner Gushan Ezhen Bayan, the commanders of the green battalion, Bai Yongfu and Liu Jinzhong fled for their lives under the cover of the guards, they were found to be too ostentatious because of the armor on their bodies (many generals in ancient times were very dazzling, in addition to boosting morale, but they almost became live targets when the army was defeated), and were finally captured by the volunteers.

Since then, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on this road of Haoge has been unable to form an army, and has retreated all the way to the north of Baoning Mansion.
