Immediately, before the Qing soldier's long knife could be cut, he felt something stabbed between his chest and abdomen, and then there was a sharp pain in his heart, and a spear pierced through his ribs. The Qing soldier screamed, and subconsciously swung his knife and slashed under the spear, but he couldn't reach the Ming soldier who stabbed him, but because of inertia, his body went deeper into the wooden handle of the spear. The pain made the Qing soldier no longer able to wave the arm holding the knife, his body kept swaying, and finally he was carried off the horse with a roar of pain, and fell to the ground with a "plop", but he couldn't lift any dirt, only the cold ground smashed him more painfully. The other person is not dead, but there is no difference from death, because of the spear on his body, he may not even struggle. He could only keep wailing there, and in the end, he no longer thought about any enemies or any future in his mind, only his relatives who were far away in the north.

A skirmish between the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a strength of no more than 100 people, was being staged fiercely. The sunset in the west in the distance lazily sprinkled its last afterglow, falling on people, but not warm, but cold. There was no wind, and the smoke caused by the firing of the fire bolt made the sight of the Ming and Qing dynasties who were fighting extremely poor, so that they could only judge whether they were enemies or companions by their voices.

The Ming army not only killed people, but also horses. There were several war horses that were stabbed by spears, and the war horsemen who were in pain stood up and directly threw the Qing soldiers on their backs who were about to slash and kill the Ming army to the ground. For a while, the neighing of war horses and the miserable howls of people resounded in this small mine.

Wei Zhong swung his long knife vigorously, and while blocking a saber cut by a Qing soldier, he slashed towards a Qing soldier with a spear on the opposite side. He let out a loud shout, and the long knife in his hand slashed hard at the opponent's shoulder and arm, slashing away the right arm of the other side along with the spear in his hand. The Qing soldier who lost his right arm was first stunned, then screamed heartbreakingly, and finally frantically rushed towards Wei Zhong, trying to grab Wei Zhong with his left hand, and subconsciously wanted to use his right hand to strangle the opponent's neck. But between his arms there was only a fountain of blood, but there was nothing for him to stretch out

Wei Zhong easily kicked the Qing soldier who had no arms and was still fierce to the ground, and then raised the long knife diagonally, cutting off the opponent's neck in one fell swoop. He fixed his tone, surrounded by the enemy and the enemy who were fighting, because he gave up the charge, the Ming army under the horse had to face the condescending advantage of the remnants of the Qing soldiers after killing and wounding a large number of Qing soldiers in the early stage. As the battle continued, the Ming army began to suffer casualties, but these casualties were still cost-effective and acceptable for the Qing army.

Cao Rong was a little shocked, he didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the Ming army to be so high, so high that half of his men had already suffered casualties, while the Ming army only killed and wounded more than ten people. Although this casualty was not as great as the casualties inflicted on the Qing army by the Ming army under the banner of "Qi" in the afternoon, it already made Cao Rong unbelievable and frightened.

If it is said that the Ming army in the afternoon is just because the weapons are too long and difficult, and the formation is extremely tricky, the Qing army that has never seen this kind of fighting cannot adapt, which led to the defeat of the Ming army with fewer blows and more and fled south in embarrassment. But the weapons used by these Ming troops in front of him are really ordinary, and the equipment is not much stronger than the Qing army, but they are also fighting desperately, and causing huge casualties to the Qing army, which makes Cao Rong feel incredible, if he remembers correctly, in the past ten days, he seems to have been chasing and killing these Ming troops, and they have never tried to turn around to face the battle, so there is no reason for this Ming army to suddenly burst out with such strong courage and combat effectiveness, it stands to reason that they should still flee from afar.

However, the fact is that the Ming army, which had been driven by the Qing army for more than half a month, not only returned, but also showed combat effectiveness far beyond that of the Qing army, and was not even worse than the strong combat effectiveness and fighting will shown by the Ming army on Xiaobei Mountain.

What the fuck is going on?

Cao Rong was confused, he regretted that he shouldn't have invited himself to visit the ministry, half the future was good, but if he lost his life for this, it would not be cost-effective.

Cao Rong would not have thought that the embarrassment of the Ming army in the past was only because of the selfishness of their generals. And the courage of the generals, the officials don't want to fight, how can the soldiers below fight to the death. Of course, if you put yourself in their shoes, Cao Rong will also understand why a capable soldier and horse suddenly can't fight. If his father Cao Xi was far away here, I'm afraid he could guess more, because outside the Guan, Cao Xi had a lot of foresight and how the Ming army generals who were for personal gain sat back and watched the annihilation of friendly troops without sending a single soldier to rescue them. Only when the victory is confirmed, those selfish Ming army generals will flock to get a piece of the pie, otherwise, they will only watch from afar.

And the combat effectiveness shown by these Ming troops is by no means as strong as Cao Rong thought, but they should be like this, or they are playing at a normal level. It's just that in the past, because they were afraid, they didn't dare to enter every battle, so they were defeated repeatedly, so the Qing army looked down on them, thinking that the Ming army was so weak. But now they are not afraid, and the reason why they are not afraid is that they have witnessed how the Manchurian soldiers were slaughtered, and how the Taiping army won one victory after another. Like the Manchurians, Zhou Shixiang also used his victory to provoke everyone in the Taiping army, and to provoke those Han people who were originally Ming army, then Qing army, and finally Taiping army, so that they no longer feared the so-called Qing army. If there is no fear, there will be no fear; If they are not afraid, they will fight, and the result will be like what Cao Rong saw.

Facts have proved that as long as the officials are willing to fight, the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Town will not be afraid of the Qing army.

Wei Zhong spotted Cao Rong in the chaotic crowd, dressed in a leading official uniform, and he rushed towards Cao Rong with his sword, but there was a trumpet in his ears, followed by more horses' hooves in the south. The Qing army came with reinforcements, and about 100 cavalry galloped over from the front of the Song family's nest, and behind them, more cavalry and infantry were coming.

Wei Zhong knew that they couldn't fight, they had to retreat immediately, or they would all die here.

"Get on the horse and retreat!"

Without Wei Zhong's order, the remnants of the cavalry knew that they could not fight, so they forced the Qing soldiers in front of them to retreat a few steps, and then turned around and galloped towards the war horses. From the frenzied slashing to the sudden retreat, the Ming army's movements were almost just a few blinks, so fast that the Qing army didn't react. Cao Rong was also stunned, and when he reacted, the Ming cavalry had already rushed to the war horse, and the soldier who was the horse stake had already turned the war horse, and the Ming soldier turned over and dismounted, and the war horse ran to the north.

"Chase, catch up with them!"

"Don't let them run, chase after them!"

The arrival of reinforcements emboldened Cao Rong, he had killed so many of his men, how could he let the Ming army run away so easily. He shouted loudly and led the rest of his men to chase after him, but when he chased for two miles, the Qing army in front suddenly stopped his horse, and then quickly turned his horse's head and ran to the rear.

Cao Rong also rode back on horseback, because the Ming army also came to reinforce - in front of them, thousands of Ming troops drove over in groups under the guidance of the "Qilin" military flag

It's hot, almost rushing to catch a draft, so I go to take a cold shower. Bones smoke, wife and son are sleeping in the air-conditioned room, can't smoke, so can only smoke in the living room, otherwise the room can't sleep, and the result is heat. (To be continued.) )
