Chapter XVII
I saw that several miles ahead, more than a dozen horsemen and horses were approaching rapidly. The distance between the pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info is quite long, and it is impossible to see each other's clothes clearly for a while.
At this time, Ziren couldn't help but think of Jin Guan's advice before leaving, worried that it was the Mongol cavalry attacking, and immediately asked everyone to stand on guard. In the wilderness, people and horses quickly approached their side, and everyone also felt that this matter was not good, and hurriedly began to put on armor and prepare for battle.
Ziren stood in the first row with wealth and iron guarding, holding a bird gun. Instructed Wang Xuedao and Tang Yaoshun to prepare the three-eyed guns, stand behind the three of them, and wait for the three of them to finish releasing the guns, and then ignite the fire to launch a second wave of attacks. Wang Mingqiang and Ding Bi were wearing iron armor and standing at the end of the formation with blades in hand. After everyone has finished firing their firearms, they will come forward to kill the enemy. The wolf dog "Huang Taiji" also stood tightly beside Ziren, staring vigilantly ahead.
The crowd had just made preparations, and the cavalry approached within three miles. Ding Bi's eyes were good, and he could see that the people were Tatar cavalrymen.
After the Mongols retreated to the steppe, they gradually split into east and west:
"Tatar" is the descendants of Kublai Khan as the clan of eastern Mongolia, divided into Chahar, Tumut, Korqin, Ordos and other departments, of which the Chahar department is led by the Mongolian Great Khan. In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, after the "Dalai Xun Khan" led the Chahar Department and the Inner Khalkha Five Divisions to move eastward, they united with the "Duoyan Sanwei" who had descended to the Ming Dynasty before, and at the same time coerced the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong to start a fierce competition with the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. For the disaster of Liaodong for many years, "Tumen Khan" (called the barbarian in the Ming Dynasty) is his son, the last great khan of Mongolia "Lin Dan Khan" is his great-grandson, Lin Dan's son Ezhe does not have the name of Khan, can not be called the Great Khan. Chongzhen of the Tatar Ministry was subdued by Huang Taiji in the eighth year.
"Warat" is a western Mongolian ethnic group that has a hereditary marriage relationship with Genghis Khan, and is divided into four major divisions: Dzungar, Heshute, Dulbert, and Turgot, and there are countless small tribes. In Mongolia, it has always enjoyed the special status of "looking at the kings", and then due to the decline of the Yuan Dynasty, it took the opportunity to expand its strength, and once launched the "Tumubao Change", which gradually declined since then. In the 17th century, it was briefly revived under the leadership of the Dzungar minister Geldan. Geldan wanted to emulate Genghis Khan in a vain attempt to unify Mongolia, and began to attack the Eastern Mongolian tribes that were dependent on the Qing Dynasty, and was later pacified by the fourth chieftain of the Tunguska savages, "Mazi-faced Kangxi".
After seeing the person clearly, Ziren suddenly felt bad in his heart. The enemy was outnumbered, and all of them were cavalry. They have few people and no geographical advantages, so they cannot form a battle formation to meet the enemy. In addition to himself, Ding Bi, and Wang Mingqiang, the three of them can fight in close combat, and the others can injure the enemy with firearms from a distance, and it is difficult to resist once the enemy is close. Moreover, we only have two pack horses, and once the battle changes, we will definitely not be able to outrun the cavalry with just two legs.
Seeing that the enemy was strong, Ziren thought for a while, then pulled over Youcai and whispered to him: "Youcai, wait until the battle with the enemy." Once you find out that the war is not good, listen to the instructions of the young master. Find an opportunity, ride a pack horse to kill and move the rescuers, and the young master is here to help you with your palace. After finding reinforcements, go back to rescue the young master. Remember that your life matters, if something happens to you, there will be no one to avenge me! ”
Ziren originally wanted to retreat first with wealth, but he thought that everyone came to Liaodong after him, and he couldn't bear to leave all the talents behind and make this plan. I hope that if I have money, I can escape, and someone will report to my family in the future.
Youcai was stunned when he heard this. Ziren was afraid that he would be flustered for a while, so he hurriedly raised his voice and said loudly: "Remember if you have money!" The enemy is not allowed to release the gun until he has advanced to 70 paces, and before he releases the gunpowder, he should check the fire rope and aim before shooting. Got it! If you dare to put the gun indiscriminately, if you don't eat mutton for dinner today, you will be roasted! After speaking, he stared at Youcai with a serious face.
Only then did you recover from your strength, nodding again and again, and then bowing your head and saying nothing. When everyone saw this situation, Quan Dangziren was telling him to have money in front of him, and he was afraid that he would drop the chain at a critical moment, so he didn't feel strange. On weekdays, Ding Shoutie, who loves to talk with the wealthy, also made a few jokes. He had wealth and heart, and he didn't pay attention to him.
Ziren saw Youcai's reaction and knew that he understood his hard work. He turned to everyone and said, "Everyone listens to the order, and the enemy is seventy steps away from the bird." Divide the three-eyed firewire into two strands, and when the enemy is within 50 paces, place one gun, and then within 30 paces, and then place the remaining two. Then the crowd formed a circle and fought the enemy back to back. Thirty taels of silver will be awarded for killing an enemy, and twenty taels of silver will be awarded for wounding an enemy. If you die in battle, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, led by your fellow villagers. If there is a disability, the rest of the life will be raised by the young master. Brethren! Kill the enemy and get a reward! ”
Then he ran and unloaded the suitcase from the pack colt's back, and opened it in front of everyone, revealing the real money inside. One is to encourage the public, and the other is to reduce the burden on the foal, so that the wealth can be more sure when they escape.
Ding Bi and Ding Shoutie saw that Ziren had arranged a good way and offered a heavy reward at the same time, and their fighting spirit increased greatly for a while. The three of them were born in a horse household and were familiar with horse nature. I knew in my heart that the infantry and the cavalry were engaged, and once defeated, there was little hope of escape. Knowing that this was a back-to-back battle, he also made up his mind and was ready to fight to the death.
This side has just been prepared, and the enemy is riding to within a mile. Seeing that Ziren and his party were few, the other party immediately accelerated their horses and rushed at a fast speed, and it seemed that a bloody battle was inevitable. But fortunately, the other party is all scouts, only a few people at the head are wearing armor, and the rest are only wearing leather jackets. It seems that there is still a few chances of winning.
Ziren immediately assigned goals to everyone. Youcai and Shoutie listened to their own orders, focusing on the opponent's armored soldiers. Wang Xuedao and Tang Yaoshun mainly attacked the opponent's unarmored soldiers. It is hoped that the other side will retreat under the blow of firearms, otherwise a bitter battle will be inevitable.
The time of the small half of the incense stick (1-2 minutes), the enemy cavalry is approaching within 100 paces (many novels say that the range of the horse bow is not good, you can Baidu this, do not waste pen and ink here). Hit the bow together, but fortunately, the arrow was released immediately, and the accuracy was not good. Except that Tang Yaoshun couldn't dodge and was shot in the left arm. Thanks to the thick cotton armor, the arrows used by the enemy are not armor-piercing heavy arrows. So it's not a big deal, it's just a skin injury, and you can fight normally.
Seeing that the enemy was within seventy paces, Ziren immediately ordered the bird to open fire. At the same time, he and Youtie pressed the trigger, only two "bang" and "bang" sounds were heard, and two enemy horsemen led by him immediately fell off their horses. One of them was hit in the chest by a bullet and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth. The other man was supposed to have been shot at his horse, but he had just fallen and was fine, he had already turned over and got up, and with a large knife, he rushed quickly towards him.
Youcai just heard the order to fire, but he has been thinking about what Ziren said before. I was distracted for a while, and I didn't have time to open the gun. I only reacted when I heard the bang. In the future, he had time to aim, so he hurriedly pulled the trigger, but naturally he didn't hit, and he was laughed at by everyone for decades in the future. Ziren knew that he had something in mind, and he didn't blame it much.
