In the dark, Yue Le slowly got up, and the guards who rushed over simply bandaged his scalp...... In addition to the scratches, Yue Le's braids were also cut, leaving only a small handful of short hair in the center of his head.

"It's really unlucky, how did you come across such a strong idea."

After years of fighting, Yue Le didn't pay attention to this little injury and setback, but the braids were cut off and he was a little frustrated.

In the cold wind, Yue Le stood for a while, and then ordered a few of his own soldiers: "The Ming army scouts have been forced to retreat, I will go back to my father, prepare for a big attack, a few of you continue to stay here to patrol the sentry, and if you encounter a large group of Ming troops, you will report back, and if you have a small group of scouts, you will force them back." ”

Before the encounter just now, Yue Le's order must have been to kill the Guangming Army rangers, but the few Ming troops in Shicai were very amazed by Yue Le's combat effectiveness and will to fight, thinking that the Ming army on the opposite side was a subordinate of the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom, and when he was in Yanjing, there were many rumors about the crown prince, but in general, the Manchu nobles had a clear understanding of this Ming crown prince.

This knowledge is that he thinks that Zhu Cihong has outstanding personal combat power, and he can also bring out some subordinates who can fight. Li Zicheng's troops were affirmed when they were stoned, and the crown prince of the Ming Kingdom was able to defeat Li Zicheng's imperial camp soldiers, which was naturally indirectly recognized.

The Qing army has always dared to fight with anyone, but it also pays attention to intelligence work and will not fight indiscriminately.

With this understanding, Yue Le was able to accept the performance of the Ming Army tonight.

He lit the fire fold, although in the experience of him and his subordinates, it was possible to find out whether there were Ming army scouts nearby, but while lighting the fire fold, Yue Le still blocked the light with a shield.

With this little light, he groped underground and found the short fire gun used by the Ming Army.

"It's strange to see!"

Groping in his hand, he felt that the barrel was smooth and stubby, compared with the messy firearms of the Liaodong Ming Army, the workmanship was more than a step stronger when he touched it.

After a short barrel, there was a smoother butt wood, then a hammer, a trigger, a powder pool, etc.

A veteran Manchu Qing prince used his rough fingers to touch the Ming army's short gun in a very short time.

"It's so good, it's good!"

Even at this time, Yue Le couldn't help but let out a strong exclamation.

"Grandpa, let's take a look at the minions."

A few minions came over, all of them were old white armor who had been fighting for many years, and this time they went out, Abatet gave it to Yue Le, and it was also the old guard beside him.

Relying on their old qualifications, these guards also came over.

"Take it and see."

Yue Le was not displeased, handed the fire gun to the guards, and went to explore the body of the Death Ming Army again.

If you can't just have fire, you must also have projectiles and ignition powder.

This fire gun is not ordinary, Yue Le thinks that it is necessary to take it back and study it carefully.

After finding what he wanted, Yue Le retrieved the firecracker, someone had already brought his favorite horse, and when he got on the horse, he looked at Qian Chukui's body lying on the ground, and he touched his scalp again.

"Bury these Ming people," Yue Le shook the reins, and the Mongolian horse from the steppe let out a clattering sound, and before he crossed his hooves, he commanded: "The one who threw the knife at me is a real Baturu...... For his sake, bury them all. ”

"Yes, don't worry, grandpa!"

"There are few people in the Ming Kingdom who are as brave as these people, and we will treat their corpses well."

In the sound of his subordinates' consent, Yue Le relaxed the reins, and the war horse first made a small jump, and then like a sharp arrow, it swept across the dark night sky.

............ "This is a self-generated firebolt, my lord!" Shandong Governor Fang Dayou stroked the short fire gun in his hand, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Students have heard of it before, but it is really the first time to see the real thing." ”

"Self-generated firebolts?" Abatai said suspiciously, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it before, huh?" If you know, why don't you hide it? ”

In the comfortable and spacious cowhide tent of Abatai, from the Gushan Ezhen Huai Pagoda to the ordinary Mel Zhangjing, and then to the generals of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners, a few burning braziers drove away the cold, and the warmth in the well-sealed tent gradually warmed up, so that the people in cold iron armor gradually warmed up.

Before dawn, the king of Raoyu County beat the drum and passed the generals, and when all the generals rushed to the big tent with the golden dragon flag, there was no sign of the sky shining at all.

Regarding the fire hammer on Abatai's table, the people in the Eight Banners, whether they are Manmeng, basically don't have much understanding. Everyone just politely listened to Yue Le's description, then picked it up and looked at it, and then put it down silently.

I really don't have much interest in these Eight Banners noble stomachs for the firecrackers!

Seeing this, Yue Le, who was originally very surprised by this short fire gun, full of admiration and curiosity, gradually calmed down.

Yes, after decades of fighting inside and outside the Guan, the Ming army has many firearms, and the types are not complicated.

The Ming Army's Shenji Battalion was more than 50 people at the earliest, with spearmen on both sides, knife players in the middle, and then 33 Shenji Battalion firefighters, eleven people were in a row, and after one shot, they retreated to charge, the second row fired, the third row was prepared, and then the charge was charged in turn.

At that time, relying on this, the Shenji battalion beat the Mongols in fear, but after more than 200 years of development, the Ming army of 5,000 people in a battalion was rationed more than half of the firearms, but the more rations, the prestige of the firearms was not as good as before.

"Today's firecrackers are useless, isn't it the power of my Qing Dynasty cavalry and archery, and the benefit of armor soldiers?"

Many people have this idea in their hearts, and it is also a general view of faith that is deeply ingrained in the hearts of many people.

"Governor Fang, what is a self-generated firebolt?"

Yue Le was silent, but Abatai became interested.

In the face of this Han bureaucrat, he did not have too much arrogance, and he still commensurate himself with courtesy. Contrary to him, the king of the county, many Manchurian generals whose official positions are only Mele Zhangjing or even lower, are by no means so polite when addressing Fang Dayou!

Even Fang Dayou himself does not take his official position as a governor in his eyes, and at the same time as he is "begging for a real Manchurian soldier", he already knows how difficult it is for these Eight Banners masters to serve, but the situation is like this, without these Jurchen soldiers, not only will he not be able to do it, but it is also very difficult to say whether he can keep his head.

It's freezing cold, and the prince of the county is also wearing iron armor like everyone else. Of course, his iron armor is not a mortal thing, it was stripped of a Ming army general on the battlefield in Liaodong back then.

The ink-colored cold-forged armor, on the solid large iron armor leaves, is a raised iron nail, like a scab, this kind of armor, thousands of tempers, I don't know how much effort it has taken to wear for decades, it is still shiny as new.

Abatai is already close to the age of six, and at this time he is sitting according to the case, but his waist is straight and he is full of energy.

If you stand at the tent door and look out, you can see by the dawn of dawn that the whole valley is full of large and small cowhide tents, even if you look at it from the height of the Zhongying tent, you still can't see the edge at a glance.

There were tents everywhere and soldiers patrolling with spears, and after a night of patrolling, their iron armor was covered with hoarfrost, but these Jurchens from the bitter cold land did not feel bitter, and they all had a relaxed smile on their faces.

Of course, it is also cold here in Shandong, but compared to Liaodong, it is really far worse.

This weather, in Liaodong is already a snow after snow, everywhere is snow accumulation, the river must be frozen, if not for the expedition, this weather, on the ice to dig ice on the glacier to catch fish, or sit on a sleigh skating, are rare and interesting things.

However, it is also a great excitement and fun to go out with the army, rob the Han people's grain, cattle and sheep, clothes, rob their jewelry, gold and silver, kill them, plunder their wives and daughters, and destroy silver at will!

From yesterday morning to evening, the outposts of the Qing army pressed forward desperately, and the reconnaissance clusters in front of the assault were divided into small teams of several people and a dozen people, forcing the Ming army's scout cavalry everywhere.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Ming army has been trained for more than half a year, and in terms of experience and strength, not to mention compared with the Qing army, it is far inferior to the original Liaodong Han army.

At the same time as driving out the Ming army's reconnaissance cavalry, a large group of Qing troops that had been hiding in the rear began to press forward desperately.

With about 13,000 soldiers, more than 7,000 horses, more than 1,700 mules, plus more than 30,000 bannermen and captured Han strong soldiers, the army of more than 40,000 people traveled nearly 100 miles in one day!

Among them, the scouts set off in advance and participated in the battle mission, and the farthest distance they traveled was an ultra-long distance of 210 miles!

This distance has far exceeded the range that the Ming army can sentry and reconnoitre, so the Qing army is not afraid that the main force will be discovered by the Ming army, so it successfully conceals the strategic intention.

In fact, this trick is not the first time, in the customs outside the Guan, large and small dozens of more than 100 wars, the Qing army is very experienced, whether it is siege warfare or siege warfare, or the later famous "encirclement point reinforcement" and other tactics, for the Qing army, are familiar, each tactic, are the use of mature, full of experience.

This kind of tactics of hiding the traces and suddenly attacking the main force was used in Shanhaiguan not long ago!

In order to hide the traces and give Li Zicheng's main force a fatal blow, Dolgon took the main force of the Qing army and traveled more than 220 miles in a hurry, this speed, for the Ming army who walked ten miles and twenty miles a day, it was simply incredible!

The strength is strong, the strong brigade under his command has its own direct banner soldiers, as well as the two thousand elites drawn by Dolgon from the Eight Banners, plus some Han troops, as well as Huaita's subordinates, and the remnants of the Qing army in Shandong, add up to a total of 13,000 soldiers, this number, when in Liaodong, often has to be several flags together to get together, such a force is enough to fight a battle of Dalinghe!
