Chapter Seventy-Five: Shangguangou
This shout made the recruits under Xu Lianshan react, yes! The commander has taught many times that infantry must stand in formation against cavalry to limit the speed of cavalry.
If the cavalry is allowed to rush like this, they will not be enough to rush others! Immediately they stood in two rows, pointing their spears diagonally at the rushing cavalry.
Liu Xingren took advantage of Buha's death and ran a few steps behind the two rows of soldiers, he no longer had the strength, and he covered the wound in the ground and gasped for breath.
The two Jurchens were relaxed for a while when they saw the chaotic soldiers rushing out of the woods, and they were very good at dealing with the chaotic soldiers.
As long as they kill one or two soldiers in front and behind, they will turn around and run, so that they can easily kill these soldiers one by one in the back.
However, the soldiers actually lined up in a neat way after a shout, which made it difficult for the Jurchens.
If they just rush up and hit the head of the gun, it will definitely not end well, but they are unwilling to retreat like this.
The two Jurchens glanced at each other and rushed to either side of the soldiers.
They planned to use the speed of their horses to run around the soldiers, and find another flaw to kill them.
Xu Lianshan had been busy charging the fire gun in his hand, and when he saw the Jurchens coming around to both sides of the team, he secretly said: Not good!
His soldiers were so nervous that they didn't move when they saw the Jurchens coming around from both sides, and they stood there stupidly.
The Jurchens didn't expect that their detour would be so smooth, and the soldiers in front of them didn't stop them. It was so easy for them to bypass and easily face Liu Xingren and the firecracker.
They raised their sabers and frantically killed Xu Lianshan and Liu Xingren.
When Liu Xingren saw that the Jurchens came over so easily, he was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He was no longer able to escape, so he could only sit underground and wait for death.
Xu Lianshan was furious when he saw this, and he blushed a little for his subordinates. The crisis at this moment made him not think much about it, and hurriedly raised the firearm in his hand and aimed it at a Jurchen cavalryman.
"Bang!" With a bang, the Jurchen cavalry fell in response. Xu Lianshan didn't have time to state the firecracker, he dropped the firearm in his hand, pulled out his waist knife and faced the last Jurchen cavalryman.
The sound just now startled the rest of the Jurchen cavalry, but fortunately the lead bullet did not hit him. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards Xu Lianshan, as long as he killed this firecracker, he would be invincible.
When his war horse was less than two feet away from Xu Lianshan, Xu Lianshan suddenly threw out a paper bag from his hand.
Xu Lianshan's luck was good, and the paper bag accurately hit the horse's head. The paper bag crashed into the galloping war horse and immediately fell apart, and a small packet of barbecue spices wrapped in it was immediately sprinkled all over the horse's head.
This bag is a Nanyang spice that Xu Lianshan bought at a large price from the Longwang Temple Market, and there is also a special condiment ~ chili powder.
This chili powder is a good thing, and the taste is full of praise even for the general. Xu Lianshan went to buy a bag as soon as he got his military salary, and this small bag was enough to ask him for half a tael of silver.
Now that he encountered a life-and-death situation, he couldn't care much about it, so he took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and subconsciously threw the spice bag out.
The Jurchen war horse is not without a sense of smell, on the contrary, its sense of smell is much sharper than that of a human. In an instant, it was choked and could not stand it, and the war horse kicked its hooves wildly, no longer listening to the command of the knight on the horse, and jumped high on the spot.
The Jurchens were in a hurry to control the war horse, but at this time Xu Lianshan rushed up. Raising his hand, he gave the Jurchen a knife, and this knife slashed at the Jurchen's thigh. The blood instantly stained the body of the war horse, and the Jurchens in pain could no longer care about the war horse, so they fell off the horse directly.
At this time, those recruits reacted, they tied up the Jurchens with their hands and feet, and came to Xu Lianshan's body one by one, and the sound of sycophants in their mouths continued.
"Brother Xu is really strong in martial arts, and the two Jurchen cavalry are really no problem!"
"Lianshan is good, no wonder he can become our captain at a young age!"
…………
Xu Lianshan ignored the compliments of his subordinates, and said with a regretful face: "It's over!" Finished! As he spoke, he crouched down near the scattered spices. Dipping his hand in the spices on the ground, he roared angrily: "It's all you stupid people, you waste Lao Tzu's spices, you pay Lao Tzu!" ”
Siltai rode a war horse and marched along the winding official road with 800 armor soldiers. The Liaodong Peninsula is mountainous, and although he leads cavalry, he cannot gallop wildly.
Watching his horse team march under the scorching sun, his heart was irritated for no reason.
He had already sent someone to inform Liu Xingzuo that as long as the two of them converged, there would be 3,000 people. When the time comes, he will kill Changsheng Island in one fell swoop and capture Zhang Dadou, maybe he can also mix Gushan Ezhen, Beizi or something.
When he thought of his great future, Siltai's heart was filled with joy. Even the winding official road in front of him was much more pleasing to the eye, and he called a Goshha and asked, "How far do you have to get to Fuzhou?" ”
The brother carefully identified the lower position and said, "Master! Five miles further on is Shinjin. When we get there, let's rest for the night, and we can go to Fuzhou City at noon tomorrow! ”
Syltai frowned when he heard Goshha's words, he didn't want to wait any longer. In case Dadou got any news and ran away from Changsheng Island, he would not have to die of depression.
Immediately said: "Xinjin will not enter the city, let's speed up and rest in Fuzhou City at night!" After listening to Sirtai's order, his subordinate Geshha promised to give the order.
Siltai's team did not stop at Xinjin, but passed through the city and quickly advanced towards Fuzhou.
At dusk, a blood-red sunset hung in the western sky. A gust of wind blew, rolling up the dust on the ground, and Siltai, who was resting on the side of the road, frowned.
After a day of rapid marching, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, and looking at the tired armor soldiers under his command, he finally ordered to rest for half an hour before leaving.
This decision immediately caused the soldiers under his command to thunder with joy, and anyone who rode on a war horse for a day on a winding dirt road would not feel comfortable.
Each of them jumped off his horse and unsaddled it so that the horse could rest. They gathered in groups of three or five, drinking fine wine, eating dried meat, and boasting about their great achievements.
The sudden gust of wind ruined everyone's good mood, and they spit out the sand in their mouths and kept cursing to vent their dissatisfaction.
Siltai's mood suddenly turned bad, and he looked up at the terrain around him. Taken aback, he found that the place where he had stopped to rest was a valley between the two mountains.
No wonder there is such a strong wind! This is the tuyere! If you are attacked by the enemy here, then the consequences will be unimaginable.
But he shook his head again, first of all, the combat power of the Jurchens had already scared the courage of the Ming army. It is simply impossible for a bold Ming army to dare to sneak attack the great Jurchen warriors!
Secondly! They were originally going to rest in Shinjin, but he came here after a temporary change of plans. There is simply no way for a second person to know, and there is no possibility of being attacked by the enemy.
He called over to Goshha and asked, "Where is this?" ”
The brother looked around and said, "Master! This place is called Shangguangou! There are 40 miles to Fuzhou. ”
Hearing that he would arrive in Fuzhou in another 40 miles, Siltai's heart settled down slightly. It's okay, just walk another 40 miles. For them Jurchens, a 40-mile journey was not a matter at all.
He immediately ordered the whole army to assemble and continue the march to Fuzhou. Those armor soldiers reluctantly got up to lead the war horse, and hurriedly tied the saddle to the war horse.
While they were busy, a fireball rolled down the hill towards them. The soldiers were confused by this sudden situation, where did the fireball come from?
Siltai also roared loudly, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Speed up and get out! ”
As he spoke, more and more fireballs appeared on the hillside, rolling down towards them in pieces.
The Jurchens looked at the fireballs rolling down in horror, and could no longer care about the saddle, so they rode on the bare back of their horses and rushed forward.
As soon as they arrived at the mouth of the valley, there was a loud sound of shaking the mountains from ahead. The road ahead was suddenly blown away by a violent explosion of dirt on the ground, and the stumps and severed arms of horses and men flew back and forth in the air.
The other armor soldiers were stunned by this hellish scene!
