Chapter Twenty-Five: The Cover

Official Road.

Two fire dragons, the distance is quickly closer.

Then, the Houjin cavalry who turned the corner braked their horses, which was a knee-jerk reaction after seeing the light of fire in front of them.

After the golden brake of the horse, Tang Qi's flint fire was instantly dense like firecrackers.

The fire flickered and shot at the opposite side.

In the darkness, the Houjin cavalry piled up under the torches instantly panicked.

The screams and shouts never stopped.

Then on the opposite side of the official road, Tang Qiqi shouted: Dolgon, Pingyang Tang Xidong is here, take your dog's head.

Approaching Yangqu, Tang Xidong made a detour to avoid the Houjin cavalry scouts, and obliquely inserted the official road, at this time, Houjin was caught off guard.

However, the power of the short gun was insufficient, and it was difficult to inflict heavy damage on the opposite Houjin cavalry.

Then Tang Qi turned his horse's head and drove away one after another.

In the dark.

In the Houjin cavalry, Dolgon's eyes turned red the moment he heard the shouts from the other side.

Beat the horse and galloped forward, and then looked at the figure of Tang Qi fleeing, and ordered in a loud voice: "Pursue, don't let go of Tang thief." ”

Behind him, Zilharang had just caught up and wanted to stop it.

The Houjin cavalry had already quickly pursued it.

"Fourteen Baylor, the sky is dark, the road ahead is unknown, it is better to march cautiously, in case the other party sets up an ambush, more than 10,000 Jurchen men are in danger!"

Seeing that the cavalry had already pursued out, Zilharang still persuaded him.

Dorgon glared at Zilharang, how could he not pursue the murderous enemy at this moment.

But looking at Zilharang did not flinch.

The anger on Dolgon's face gradually subsided, and after frowning and thinking, he ordered: "The army is divided into front and rear, the scouts are currently pursuing, and the rear army is cautious to follow. ”

Zilharang nodded.

Dolgon is not Azig after all, this person is quite deep in the city, and at critical moments, calmness can suppress anger.

It's a great enemy!

With the enemy in front, Zilharan put away his thoughts and turned back to lead his cavalry.

Don rode in front, and Kim in the back.

Hundreds of scouts in hot pursuit.

But seeing the pursuit for a mile, the Houjin scout suddenly fell on his heels, and the person fell on the road.

This is a trip horse that Tang Xidong set up in advance.

More than a dozen fell to the ground, instantly delaying the pursuit of the hungry Houjin.

Behind the scout, the brake horse turned over, swung his knife to cut the tripping horse rope, went to check that there was no obstruction, and then got on the horse again to pursue.

After chasing thirty miles all the way, Tang Qi's horsepower was not as good as Houjin's after all, and the distance that he had originally thrown off was shortened to within one mile again.

Turn around the dense forest ahead.

Just when the Houjin scouts rushed past and the front battalion of the brigade arrived, more than a dozen explosions suddenly sounded on the official road.

The explosion occurred right under the horse of the Houjin Qianying.

In an instant, more than 100 cavalrymen, men and horses were severely damaged.

The speed of the Houjin Brigade slowed down again.

While saving people, they cleaned up the official road.

Dolgon gave the order again, and ordered the cavalry to march in formation.

Speed up the pursuit.

Dorgon began to understand that the only way to avoid the ambush of explosives was to close the distance between the two sides.

And the mines set by Tang Xidong also made Dolgon see his sharp and weird firearms, and his heart was more cautious.

The two sides chased me all the way, and the sky was getting brighter.

It was only fifty miles away from the empty camp set up in Taiyuan City.

————

Mao, the beginning.

It's dawning.

Taiyuan City Tangxi East set up a large camp outside, five miles.

Hong Chengchou led more than 100,000 troops to finally arrive.

Five miles away, Hong Chengchou stood on a high slope, holding a brass telescope, and looked at the camp in the plains in the distance by the light of the sky.

The camp was brightly lit, and there were people constantly patrolling back and forth around the camp, and there were soldiers in black uniforms standing guard in the camp.

It looks like most people are asleep.

Hong Chengchou showed a hint of joy on his face, and then snorted coldly: This Tang thief has a sharp firearm in his hand, and now he is so arrogant, he can't see the scouts he should have, and he doesn't dig the trench in front of the camp.

Suddenly, Hong Chengchou frowned, turned the binoculars, squinted his eyes and looked carefully again.

Did he find out that something was wrong?

No, Hong Chengchou just saw the corpse hanging on the pole by Tang Xidong.

As early as Cao Wenzhao, he learned that Tang Xidong took Azig's corpse to the north.

The anger in Hong Chengchou's heart at that time, if he could leave the Tang thief behind and save the strength of running back and forth, he could still get the head of Azig.

Azig's head is far heavier than Tang Xidong's head for Hong Chengchou.

This is post-Kimbel.

At this moment, look at the corpse hanging from the pole.

Hong Chengchou's eyes were red, as if he had seen the holy decree issued by the emperor to promote the cabinet.

Hong Chengchou, who was excited, glanced at the camp again and looked at the sky, it was a good time to steal the camp at this time.

So he turned around and went down the hill.

"Brother Zhang, the Tang thief is in front, Hong Mou sees that the garrison of his battalion is lax, and the attack at this moment is just right."

"Brother Zhang, you and I have two armies, each with its own things, is it okay to attack together?"

Zhang Zongheng naturally agreed, this time he relied on Hong Chengchou very much, and it was up to him whether he could keep his official position.

So, the 100,000 Ming army divided their own things and took advantage of the cover of the sky to go towards the camp set up in the east of Tangxi.

At this time, there were only fifteen miles left in Tangxi East, which was in full swing to return to the camp.

Houjin had already chased within a mile, and both sides kept firing.

Hou Jin hopes to entangle Tang Xidong, and Tang Xidong hopes to be able to throw some Hou Jin a little.

On both sides, you chased me and fled, and went in the direction of the camp.

The battalion, which looks like a laxly guarded new army, has actually tightened its nerves.

Estimated time, Hong Chengchou is coming.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, Hong Chengchou's 100,000 army had already appeared in the plains, although the other party had repeatedly hidden.

But the sound of the march of 100,000 men could not be concealed in any way.

At a distance of three miles, the Ming army began to tear through the camouflage and strode forward.

The first was more than 10,000 cavalry under Hong Chengchou.

War horses galloped, and the plains shook.

The killing cry will rise.

At this time, Tang Xidong had already rushed ten miles away.

Just when Hong Chengchou's cavalry was about to rush to the camp.

Suddenly, explosions rang out around the camp.

The horses were frightened and raised their hooves, and the cavalry fell to the ground one after another.

There was chaos in an instant, and at this moment the infantry was still a mile away.

At the same time, gunfire erupted.

The thousand cavalry who remained in the battalion had already turned on their horses.

Rushed out of the camp and took advantage of the chaos of the Ming cavalry to kill it.

Tang Cai, who entered the cavalry of the Ming army, kept shooting.

Back and forth.

The already chaotic cavalry of the Ming army was even more scattered.

A gallop back and forth caused thousands of casualties.

Tang cavalry, who had killed through the cavalry, went towards the infantry behind, made a detour, fired again and again, and then turned his horse and headed towards the main camp.

Tang rode around the periphery of the camp and ran to the back of the camp.

Then he took advantage of the cover of the camp and rushed towards the plain behind him.

Leaving behind the chaotic Ming army.

It was not easy to gather the army.

Looking at the quiet camp, Hong Chengchou finally felt that something was wrong.

I had already guessed that the big camp in front of me was an empty camp.

The Tang thief turned out to be not arrogant and lax, but long gone.

Where did the Don thief go?

Hong Chengchou didn't know, because his scouts didn't find any trace of Tang Xidong's departure.

But the next moment, the cavalry that rushed into the main camp, after galloping through the camp, rushed back in a small group.

"My lord, the corpses hanging in the camp are indeed post-kinbeil azig."

Among the soldiers who gathered Cao Wenzhao by Hong Chengchou, some recognized the identity of the corpse in the battalion.

The doubt on Hong Chengchou's face instantly turned into ecstasy.

Hahaha, Tang Thief actually left this great work to himself.

There was no hesitation.

Hong Chengchou urged the army to enter the camp quickly.

You know, is there another person on the other side?

This credit, he Hong Chengchou may be ready to make.

The Ming army entered the camp in a mighty way.

Distance.

Zhang Zongheng was still dragging his pace.

Zhang Zongheng also calculated, this matter of rushing the camp, it is better to let Hong Chengchou, who has a large number of soldiers, do it.

At the moment when Hong Chengchou hit his horse and entered the camp.

In the distant plains, the tremor of the galloping horses sounded.

The mighty cavalry came towards the camp.

Hong Chengchou's face changed, and he quickly ordered: "The whole army enters the camp and prepares for battle." ”

In the distance, the cavalry is getting closer.

Hong Chengchou didn't know the identity of the other party.

But this Taiyuan Mansion, except for its own people, is the enemy.

My own people are here, and those who come must be enemies.
