Chapter 31: The Sentinel Battle (2)

"Outside the village are all green battalion soldiers, and the Manchurian Tatars seem to be camping in the village. "www.biquge.info Tang Kun pointed to a tent outside the village and the smoke that had risen from the village, and said to Wang Zhangtang, "The camp of the green battalion soldiers is not far from the village, only a few dozen steps away, it seems that they are on guard duty for the masters, and there are also some sentry posts in the south and east of the village. However, it doesn't look very tight. ”

"The Tartars thought that they had won so many battles, and the army of the Ming Dynasty had already been frightened, so they didn't have time to run, where did they have the heart to attack them?" Wang Zhangtang sneered, "That being the case, Lao Tzu will teach them a lesson today." ”

"However, although there are not many Manchurian Tartars in the village, only fifty or sixty, they are all sergeants of the Bayala battalion, but they are the elite of each banner, do you think about how to fight?" Tang Kun asked.

"First send a hundred people from the woods on the eastern mountain into the village and deal with the dozens of Manchurian Tartars. No matter how elite the Tartars are, let's deal with one of them, and in the case of a surprise attack, it should be enough, right? "A lot of words," Wang Zhangtang said, "The 100 people who entered the village were under my own command, and the rest of the 130 horsemen were under your command." When we enter the village and fight the Tartars, we will make three sounds, and then you will attack the camp of the Green Battalion with all your might. There are only more than 400 soldiers in the Green Battalion, and there are not many cavalry, and their officers and assistants are probably all going into the village to eat with the Tartars, and most of them will not be able to withstand your attacks. Even if your attack is blocked, when I kill all the dozens of Tartars, I will come out with people to meet you as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, but I'll take the people who enter the village." Tang Kun thought for a moment and then said, "After all, our scout cavalry team usually has more training in this area. You're from a cavalry battalion, and that's not your old job. ”

What Tang Kun said is not unreasonable, it is different from the Flying Tiger Battalion, which focuses on field combat capabilities. The sergeants of the reconnaissance cavalry usually receive training mainly in reconnaissance, assassination, and other subjects, and it is indeed easier to do this kind of thing of touching into the village and beating the stuffy stick.

"Okay," Wang Zhangtang agreed, "I'll transfer seventy more people to you, be careful after entering the village, if it goes well, sound the bell, I heard three bangs and immediately led the team to storm the green battalion camp." ”

Tang Kun nodded. After that, he quickly arranged with Wang Zhangtang.

Seventy cavalry were temporarily transferred to Tang Kun's command, and all the Ming soldiers who participated in the raid into the village left behind the equipment that seemed cumbersome, leaving only the cotton armor on their bodies and one or two short weapons at hand, waist knives, short axes or hand crossbows. Twenty soldiers were armed with flintlock pistols for fire support.

It didn't take long for the "raid team" to be ready and ready to enter the village.

"Be careful!" Before Tang Kun led the team to leave, Wang Zhangtang gave another advice.

"Hey, why are you such a mother-in-law today? Feel relieved. Until the day when the entire Ming Dynasty is restored, I, Tang Kun, will not die! Tang Kun smiled disappreciatively, and then pointed to Ding Xiaoman not far away, "Furthermore." This little brother told us everything about the situation in the village, and there was no mistake. ”

After speaking. Tang Kun took a hundred soldiers who participated in the raid and walked around the hill to the east of the village.

……

Dingjia Village

On the edge of the east and south of the village, there are several green battalion soldiers standing guard. Originally, there were also a few Manchurian Baya soldiers on duty here. But when it was almost time to eat, they all went into the village.

As soon as they thought of this, the Green Battalion soldiers felt a little abrupt, why could those Manchurian soldiers eat on time, and they could only starve here to guard for them? However, this is just a thought, the green battalion soldiers are so bold that they dare not openly raise even the slightest question about their master. …,

As for the role of the sentry, the green battalion soldiers also thought that this was completely redundant, they followed the general soldier Xu Yong all the way south from Anhui, and after entering the control area of the Ming army, they had never encountered a Ming army that resisted effectively, let alone any Ming army dared to take the initiative to attack them. Moreover, there were hundreds of brothers stationed in the west and north of the village, and there were dozens of the most powerful Bayala soldiers in the village, and even thousands of Ming soldiers would not dare to come and brush the tiger's whiskers. What's more, there are hundreds of Han army banner soldiers stationed in Gaotang Village on the other side of the mountain, and if there is any trouble, they can immediately come over to support, so what is there to worry about?

It's fucking boring! A green battalion soldier in the east of the village grumbled and snorted.

"Whew! - Phew! Before the Green Battalion could retract his mouth, a crossbow bolt pierced his neck accurately. The bone-chilling coldness and pain were followed by an irresistible sense of powerlessness, and before the Green Battalion could make any sound, he lost all consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Plop!" "Plop!" With a few muffled sounds, the rest of the Green Battalion soldiers were all shot and fell to the ground.

A Ming soldier popped his head out of the grass dozens of steps away, observed the situation, and then beckoned back, dozens of Ming officers and soldiers came out of their hiding places, cautiously crossed the corpse of the green battalion soldier at the entrance of the village, and touched towards the village.

To the south of the village, the same scene was staged almost simultaneously, and dozens of other Ming officers and soldiers entered the village after killing the green battalion soldiers who were stationed at the entrance of the village.

Soon, the two Ming armies met under a courtyard wall in the southeast corner of the village, and Tang Kun, the leader of the team, whispered the next matters that needed attention to the officers, the army commanders, and the chiefs.

……

In some of the most spacious houses in the village, the sound of laughter and laughter can be heard from the room.

At this moment, there were a dozen or so heavily armored sergeants sitting in each room, all of them stout, the iron leaves on the armor reflected a dazzling light, the faces full of fierceness and anger were obviously different from those of the Han Chinese, the head with the helmet off was exposed with a large blue scalp, and a slender money rat tail hung down from the back of the head. These were the sergeants of the Bayala battalion in Manchuria with the white flag.

The Bayala battalion was formed by Huang Taiji during his reign when the Bayala soldiers in each banner were drawn out and formed, and it can be regarded as the most elite standing army in each banner, and it has made great achievements for the Qing court in the long-term campaign, and its hands are also stained with the blood of countless innocent people.

At the moment, these 50 or so Baya soldiers were talking and laughing loudly while eating, or talking about various unusual gains after going south, or laughing at the cowardice and incompetence of the Ming army and the Ming people, etc., and whenever they talked about the fun, they would burst into unbridled laughter together.

In one of the houses in the middle, a Manchurian official dressed as a man in the form of a team of more than 50 people in the armoured battalions such as the Banner Bayala Battalion and the Aliha Chaoha Battalion, and the officer who led the team was called the Commander of the Command, and the Chinese name was Xiao Cavalry School, sat in the first place, and below him were several small leaders of the Bayala soldiers who looked like Zhuanda (Shi Chang), as well as a thousand generals of the green battalion and two generals.

The Green Camp Thousand Commanders and the two Commanders were constantly saying all kinds of compliments, which were translated into Manchu by a Han general, which from time to time caused the Fen Pa Shiku and several Gunda to laugh triumphantly.

"Plop!" Just as the officers of the Green Battalion were talking happily, there was a sudden muffled sound from the roof, as if someone had thrown something on the roof, and then crackled, and it was evident that the thatch of the roof had been set on fire.

At this moment, the faces of everyone in the room changed, and they put down the bowl in their hands.

Immediately afterward, a small leader who looked like a professional stood up suddenly, drew the knife on his waist and pointed it out of the door, and roared for a few miles. Suddenly, the Dividing Priest and the rest of the experts all stood up and pulled out the weapons on their waists as fast as they could.

At the same time, the screams and angry scolding of the Baya soldiers were also heard in the rest of the houses, mixed with the sound of the clash of iron blades and the sharp sound of weapons unsheathed. (To be continued.) )
