Chapter Ninety-Five: The Final War, the Death of Yaozhou
When he heard a sound not far away, Li Dingguo immediately ordered to go down, telling the two teams of sergeants to crawl in the bushes in the mountains and not to make a sound. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Wen Fu, you take someone first, I'll take a few people to take a look."
"Be careful."
Hearing what Li Dingguo said, Liu Wenxiu, who was full of complaints before this moment, had a serious face.
"And be relieved, I don't sacrifice my life for the country so easily, but if we really encounter any trouble, you should quickly send someone to contact General Gao."
In the face of Liu Wenxiu's change of painting style and sudden seriousness, Li Dingguo showed a rare smile.
"All rest assured."
......
When Li Dingguo left with three or four people, he followed the place where the sound came from before.
"Team Leader, there is the sound of water flowing ahead, it seems that there is a stream flowing through here."
Not long after, when he heard a 'bang' sound, he heard a 'bang----', but there was a small soldier next to him to report the matter.
"Shhhh
However, when a few people quietly touched it, they found that it was actually a mountain col, and there was a small stream flowing slowly through it, but when they went further, several people were shocked.
It turned out that between the mountain passes, there were many horses drinking water, and there were twenty or thirty people sitting on the ground near the horses, gnawing on dry food, looking at the dress, this is clearly a tartar!
"My lord, this."
In the face of this sudden situation, a small soldier almost screamed out, but Li Dingguo was fast, but he covered it, and then whispered.
"Shhh, don't be so nervous, I heard that Yaozhou City has been occupied by my army, these Tartars must have escaped, but here they are also favored by God, and you and my brother are destined to have this merit."
For Li Dingguo's words, several people calmed down from the previous panic, after all, these soldiers are basically new soldiers, Cao Wenzhao was ordered to form a trap army for only a few months, these recruits have to say that most of them were slaves of the wealthy family in the past, basically except for killing a chicken and duck or something, it is impossible to see blood.
Not to mention the first time to face the Houjin cavalry at such a quiet distance here, it would be strange if you didn't tremble.
In fact, although Li Dingguo was calm, there were already some drops of sweat oozing out of his palms at this moment, after all, since graduating from the military academy, this was the first time he faced the Tartars, but he followed Zhang Xianzhong's side in the early years, he was a baby rebel, he had fought with the imperial army, and he was not so nervous about killing.
"Li Si, you take someone here to watch this group of Tartars first, and I will discuss it with Team Liu in the past."
Li Si is a veteran, according to the basis for the formation of the trapped army, but among the 20 sergeants in a team, two veterans are assigned, these veterans have either stayed in the Beijing camp, or they are experienced military soldiers selected by Zhu Jian after cutting the local troops, and this Li Si has stayed in the first five military camps before coming to the trapping army, and then joined the Huwei army, and then folded into the trapping army, and became the deputy of the team led by Li Dingguo.
At this moment, Li Si nodded yes to what Li Dingguo said.
"Captain, rest assured, these Tartars don't want to escape from my eyes."
Regarding Li Si's words, Li Dingguo nodded, and then led the rest of the people to slowly retreat in the direction from before.
......
On the other side, it was said that the tower raid led the only remaining twenty or thirty people into the mountain, because the mountain was full of thorns, but the opening of the road was very slow.
Within an hour's effort, everyone was already a little tired, but fortunately they found this canyon, the terrain was quite flat, but there was a stream flowing through it.
First, to solve the problem of drinking water, and second, the sound of the murmuring water continues, but it also plays a protective role for the tower to attack them to stay here.
That's why Ta Raid agreed to stop and rest for a while.
After all, in the eyes of his tower attack, this place is already deep in the mountains, and the Ming army is afraid that it is difficult to imagine that he will lead people to hide in the mountains, so resting here is a forgiving heart for the tower attack.
"Lord Mailer, the brothers are accompanied by some dry food, although the water of this stream is sweet, but it is also difficult to swallow, I wonder if the last general can bring one or two vests to hunt, so as to make up for the adults."
The Houjin Jurchens were originally a fishing and hunting people, but they grew up eating meat, and let them gnaw on the dry nest here, which is naturally difficult to swallow, fortunately this is a mountain woodland, and there is a lot of game, so a small riding school is a volunteer to go to the tower to ask for some game, to hunt some game for the brothers.
First, it is better than a dry nest, and second, it also has the intention of exploring.
For what this Xiao Riding School said, Ta Xi nodded.
"Everything should be taken care of, and if you encounter a situation, send a signal immediately!"
"Huh."
With the consent of the tower attack, the Xiao Cavalry School immediately beckoned the two of them, took the bow and arrow with him, and plunged into the depths of the old forest.
But it was precisely towards the previous exploration of Li Dingguo's position......
"What?! It's a tartar! ā
When Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and others converged, they heard that there was a group of Houjin people here, but Liu Wenxiu was shocked, after all, they were also dealing with Houjin people for the first time.
I heard his name, but I never met him.
However, after a moment of surprise, what appeared on Liu Wenxiu's face at this moment was a burst of ecstasy.
And then it's a dazzling eye!
And all this was naturally seen by Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo said with a smile.
"What is the difference between Wen Fu's expression before and after?"
Regarding what Li Dingguo said, at this moment, Liu Wenxiu still couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, but it was the way.
"I have heard of the name of the Tartars who are good at fighting and fierce before, and I was naturally a little surprised when I heard it at first, but I am worried that you and my brother have no chance to show their talents, but here is a godsend!"
Regarding Liu Wenxiu's words, Li Dingguo nodded, for this group of tartars who appeared in the mountains, in his opinion, they must be the fish that slipped through the net in the Yaozhou War.
Originally, he could not directly participate in the siege of Yaozhou, but he Li Dingguo was also very depressed in his heart, but he had always been steady, but he was not as overflowing as Liu Wenxiu.
And the situation here is urgent, but he doesn't care about making more words, but he goes straight to the point.
"Wen Fu, and all the brothers, as far as I know here, there are only twenty or thirty Tartars here, but my two teams of men and horses have forty people, and we have an advantage in numbers, in addition, according to the previous situation, if you want to come to this group of Tartars to set up camp by the stream, it must be the enemy who fled from Yaozhou, and if you flee into the mountains here, it must be a difficult battle, so this official thinks that this battle can be!"
"When it is!"
For what Li Dingguo said, Liu Wenxiu naturally agreed, and in the face of the two team officers, the rest of the corporal naturally had no doubts, although they were recruits, but the so-called newborn calves were not afraid of tigers, not to mention that over the years, the Tartars had been repeatedly frustrated in Liaodong, and they had long since lost their prestige!
"Hit!"
......
"Let's make specific arrangements......"
Although it was said that it was hunting in the mountains, according to the new military system of the empire, each team in the new army had two grenadiers, one flintlock pistol per person, and four grenades per person.
It's just that because it was for hunting and patrolling the mountains, the two boxes of ammunition (ten in each box) originally equipped by each team were inconvenient to carry because they were worried that the mountain roads would be difficult to walk and inconvenient to carry, but half of them were left in Huang Jie's army.
"Wen Fu, you took more than a dozen brothers along this mountain col and detoured downstream of this stream to block their retreat, but you need to bring more grenades here!"
"Don't worry, you take care."
received the order, but Liu Wenxiu left with more than a dozen people, but for the remaining more than 20 people here, Li Dingguo had his own plans.
"Deputy Yang, you take someone back the way you came, and quickly go to inform General Gao Jie and ask him to block the mountain road here!"
"Order!"
"The rest of the people are divided into three parts, Deputy Li, you lead the people to ambush on the right flank....... The rest of the men chose a high ground and gathered all the grenadiers together, and I personally commanded them! ā
And just after Li Dingguo gave the battle order, he suddenly saw Li Si, who had been monitoring the Tartars, with someone tied up a person and came over, and when he got closer, he found that it was actually a Tartar.
"Team Deputy Li, what is this?"
"Oh, my lord, just now a group of Tartars were hunting in the woods, but they were knocked out by the brothers, and two of them were slaughtered immediately, and they have been dealt with, but this seems to be an official, so I tied them up and asked about the situation."
Regarding Li Laosi's statement, Li Dingguo said with a smile.
"When we return to the trapped army, I will definitely give you credit! Keep an eye on the enemy and don't make a difference! ā
"Thank you, then, sir! I'll go now. ā
What you think, what you come. For Li Dingguo, there is just a lack of someone to ask, no, Li Laosi really stuffed one for himself, and looking at this dress, at least he is also an official among the Tartars.
"Poof!"
As a scoop of cold water poured over, Wu Vali of the Xiao Riding School wanted to shout, but he was immediately gagged by a rag.
"Woo woo-------"
Wu Wali shouted, because the moment he opened his eyes, under the earthy yellow military uniform, it was obviously a Ming Dynasty soldier!
But in the next second, Wu Wari stopped struggling, because at this moment, he had clearly felt that under his neck, a sharp blade with a flickering cold light was pressing against his throat.
"We are the Ming Empire's trapped army, and now there are only two roads in front of you, one way, that is to cooperate with good life, ask you, answer a word, you must not hide it at all, if there is a slight difference, it is better for you to live than to die!"
"As for the other one, hehe-------"
"I don't know if you've tasted the punishment of Ling Chi of the Ming Empire, but it doesn't matter if you haven't tasted it, because if you want, you will -------- then."
"One knife, one knife...... I'm going to make you ****! Okay, if you choose the first path, nod, if not, it's easy, then just get started! ā
......
Wu Wali is not a die-hard fan of the tower attack, nor is he a person who is willing to serve Huang Taiji to the death, if not, he will not flee with the tower attack, but this guy is a little lucky, because of the two thousand cavalry of the tower attack, he is one of the only remaining twenty or thirty people.
It's just that at this moment, he seems to feel that his good luck seems to have run out, because at this moment, he was captured by the Ming army.
But how did he know that the two vests that followed him had gone to accompany Nurhachi.
And at this moment, in the face of the coercion and temptation of the Ming army, Wu Vali's psychological defense line had already collapsed directly, and the torture of Ling Chi of the Ming Empire, he had heard of it, thousands of knives, cut to death......
Therefore, in the face of the two paths given by the Ming army, Wu Wali nodded desperately.
Seeing this, the Ming army on the side showed a slightly disdainful face, although they were recruits, although in their memory, Houjin had been a fearless enemy, but today's Houjin Xiao Riding School in front of them made their previous concepts completely disappear.
It turns out that the Houjin Cavalry is also a human being!
"Alright, sir, it's okay."
After a simple interrogation, the soldier beckoned to Li Dingguo.
......
"Now I'll ask, and you can answer."
