On November 16, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, in Ruzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"It seems that the thieves have the intention of setting up ambushes in Xiaotun and other places."

"Well, the infantry army is ambushed on this side of the river, and the horse army is ambushed in the mountains on the other side of the river, grandma, the treachery of this thief will not be worse than those Tartars."

After the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Jie Yifeng, who was originally an ordinary night army, was promoted to team officer, and the original Wu Changlong Er has now become the general. However, this time he did not accompany the expedition to suppress the thieves, but was sent to Liaodong by the Intelligence Department a few months ago.

When the Shunxiang army does not collect sentry at night, it has never been alone, at least one army of five people. At this time, there were also four people beside Jie Yifeng, in addition to him. is the same as Jie Yifeng's dress, all of them have white felt hats, and the outside is a shabby sheep robe, which is no different from the local dress.

Of course, if you look closely, you will find that the cold light of their iron helmets looms under their felt hats, and they also have excellent iron leaf breastplates and a pair of chain mail inside, which are fully equipped. Each person also has three tall war horses, and on top of the horses, all kinds of dry food and baggage are sufficient, so that these nights are not collected outside for a month without supplies.

After Jieyifeng was ordered by Wen Daxing to go out of the sentry, his team of men and horses had dispersed in all directions, reaching as far as Luoyang, and at this time, Jieyifeng's side was left with these four people. Lurking is on the mountains on the south bank of Rushui in Ruzhou.

Jiaxian to Ruzhou this hundred miles, in the middle is the river, sandwiched between Funiu Mountain and Shenwu Mountain narrow strip. It is not very far from the mountains on both sides to the official road of Liuhe, especially the local small tunzhai is closer to the official road, and the surrounding mountains are undulating, which is also convenient for ambushes.

As early as a few days ago, when Jie Yifeng was active in the Ruzhou area, he found the strange movement of the Ruzhou Liukou, hundreds of thousands of them entering the mountains on both sides of the river. Thinking of the attack that the Shunxiang army was about to launch against the enemy in Ruzhou, what Liukou had in mind, they were clear.

However, Jie Yifeng is also strange, at that time, the Shunxiang army had not yet arrived in Jiaxian, and they were ready to ambush early? This rogue's style of play is really uncomfortable.

Jie Yifeng was talking to himself while carefully observing the movement under the mountain with a clairvoyant mirror. There is a clairvoyant mirror is this good, standing high, seeing far away, the large stream of rogues lying in ambush on the other side of the mountain did not notice the Jieyifeng and others here, and Jieyifeng and them can calmly observe the movements of the rogues.

However, the clairvoyant mirror is precious, and Wen Daxing's night is not a thousand in total, and it is only a team of people.

"What are the plans of the thieves, what are their intentions, and they should catch a few live mouths and ask."

Jie Yifeng thought in his heart, cast the clairvoyant mirror to the plain below the mountain, and looked around the banks of the river, there were no people, only the ruined houses and broken walls were left everywhere, and the four fields were depressed. If you want to catch a life, it is best to catch it in the eastern part of Ruzhou, the closer you get to Ruzhou, the more rogue there is, that is, you can catch it, and there is also the trouble of entanglement with the public.

Moreover, it is better to catch some of the rogue's sentry horses, which know more than some officers.

Jie Yifeng looked at it for a long time, unlike the stout outside, he was extremely calm when he sentry, and the four of them had been lurking on this mountain for three days. For three days, he kept an eye on the movements of the mountains on both sides of the river, and did not leave the surrounding area.

Suddenly, there was movement at the foot of the mountain, and about ten horsemen rushed out of the hills and headed in the direction of Jiaxian.

Yi Ye Bu said in a low voice: "Master Feng, do you want to keep up and catch a few live mouths?" ”

Jie Yifeng laughed strangely and said: "The sentry of these thieves is riding well, just catch a few live mouths and ask for information." ”

There was a look of excitement beside him for a few nights, although there were ten people on the other side and only five on his side, but no one showed a nervous and frightened look. They are the most elite soldiers in the Shunxiang Army, especially after the brutal war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, everyone has reached the peak of their skills and psychological quality.

And the original nickname of Jieyifeng's "bench" has been called no one in the team, except for Wu Nei, the original brothers in Jia, and now the team does not accept them at night, and they all respect Jieyifeng as Feng Ye.

Jie Yifeng looked around at several of his subordinates, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said: "Brothers, keep up with those thieves and let them see the power of our Shunxiang army!" ”

After a few nights, he shouted a low voice, and waved his hand: "Get on the horse." ”

Several of them jumped on their horses with agility, and they immediately carried all kinds of weapons on their backs, long and short. Among the five, there were several different weapons, two archers, two handguns, and one Lumi guns. ,

The strong bow and strong crossbow are convenient for silently attacking the enemy and killing the enemy without a shadow. And now the Shunxiang army handcuffs are all flint hair style, easy to fire, large caliber, immediately step down to fight, those few steps, within a dozen steps, the power is strong, better than the horse bow.

As for the Rumi gun, very good long-range firing weapons. Jieyifeng's subordinates are also in the style of flint.

The Shunxiang army had already determined the timing of the flintlock pistol, and it was not used when fighting in formation, so as not to affect the battle situation with a high rate of mute fire. However, the flintlock pistol used by the skirmishers was good, but the rate of dumb fire was high, and the sergeants also had plenty of time to pull the trigger again.

However, because of the strong recoil of the bird or the Rum, shooting immediately will cause the hammer to fall off the horse, so these Rumi hammers do not shoot on the horse.

Jie Yifeng and others rode horses and ran among the hills, stopping from time to time to look at the movement under the mountain with a clairvoyant mirror, and the cold wind was blowing, which did not affect their galloping at all. They hung far behind the rogue sentinels, but no one noticed them.

Several people ran out for more than ten miles, and in the cold weather, the horses under each person's crotch continued to spray thick white gas.

Jie Yifeng suddenly raised his hand, and immediately the horses behind them stopped at the same time, Jie Yifeng took out a clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, he saw very clearly, the ten thieves and horsemen had stopped by the river, rested a little, and let the horses drink some water.

In the clairvoyant mirror, Jie Yifeng also saw the dress of those rogues clearly, several of them were wrapped in red turbans, wearing crotch coats, or wearing shabby sheep robes.

Only one of the rogues caught Jie Yifeng's attention, he was burly, full of beard, wearing a white felt hat on his head, and a hood armor on his body, which was shoulder-length cotton armor, as is the case with the armor of ordinary Central Plains junior school officers.

The rest of the thieves had only swords and bows and arrows, bows and arrows, and no horn bows, and it was evident that these people did not have the ability to shoot arrows at once, and the horses were not very good. This rogue, however, was a foot bow, a horse bow, and a spear in addition to a waist knife.

His demeanor is very strong, and there are two war horses beside him, and the quality of the war horses is not bad.

"Could it be that this man is a thief army in the old camp of thieves?"

Jie Yifeng thought to himself.

These sentinels stopped by the river, and they were not very well guarded, and it was a good opportunity for a sneak attack.

Jie Yifeng smiled and said, "Okay, it's here for my mother." ”

He was excited for a few nights, and a bloodthirsty light flashed in everyone's eyes.

Jie Yifeng instructed: "Everyone prepare, big girl, second girl, drama, you check your handcuffs and fire guns, change horses!" ”

The "big girl, second girl" are brothers, because of their beautiful appearance, they got this feminine nickname in the team. Each of them was equipped with two flintlock handcuffs, which were inserted into the holsters of the saddle bridge, and the ammunition in the guns had already been loaded and plugged with wooden stoppers. At this time, the two skillfully pulled out their handcuffs, pulled out the inner wooden stopper, took out the through strip and rammed it into the inner middle a few times.

The projectile inside the gun was wrapped in linen and tightly stuffed into the gun, so that the gunpowder would not leak out because of the mouth of the gun downwards or the bump of the horse. However, because of this use, the flintlock handcuffs in the Shunxiang army do not use customized cartridge ammunition.

"Drama" is the use of the Lu Mi gun on the night does not collect, he Lu Mi gun on his back, in the "big girl, second girl" to check the handcuff, he also took off the Lu Mi gun, pulled out the inner wooden stopper, with the strip to ram the inside three times, his Lu Mi gun, the same use of fixed carton ammunition.

Seeing that everyone had changed horses again, everything was ready, Jie Yifeng took the horned bow hanging on the saddle in his hand, straightened the round shield on his left arm, looked around at his four subordinates, and shouted: "Brothers, kill the thief, catch the mouth." ”

"Kill the thief!"

After a few nights, they were all majestic and roared.

"Kill the thief!"

Jie Yifeng urged the horses, and the horses rushed out first, and the rest did not close for four nights, following closely behind.

They just burst on, but they still hold the queue. Jie Yifeng and one of the archers attacked on the right side, "Big Ya, Second Ya" attacked on the left, and "Xizi" was behind the palace, with a bright saber in his hand, but it was a blade.

In fact, it is up to each person whether the saber is cut or not, and if the skill is insufficient, it is better to use the non-bladed saber. If the elite veterans of those cavalry use the sabers with open blades, they are like tigers.

The sound of horses' hooves, the billowing of smoke and dust, and the sudden rush out of a few cavalry from behind the hills, the peasant army sentry riders resting by the river were all taken aback. Looking at the dress of those people, it may be officers and soldiers, sentry detectives, or horse thieves who want to eat black.

It was less than three hundred paces from the hills to the river, and they were about to rush in as they rolled in. And the five of them had fifteen horses, and the momentum was very great. The incident happened suddenly, and these sentinels were in a panic. ,

The shouts with a Shaanxi accent rang out, but it was the burly man with a full beard and a white felt hat on his head who roared a few times, and the peasant sentry hurriedly mounted their horses and took out their weapons to meet them.

Taking advantage of the horse's momentum, Jie Yifeng and others quickly rushed in front of these peasant army sentry horses, although these peasant troops came up, but when they saw the people on the opposite side rushing towards them, they hurriedly pulled out their horses. How dare their inferior horses hedge against Jie Yifeng and others?

It was the horses under their crotch, seeing that the horses on the opposite side were tall and strong, they were all afraid, how dare they hedge over? Don't wait for the master's command, but get out of the way.

The sound of the bowstring sounded, and Jie Yifeng and an archer who did not collect the archers swept a few steps away from the right side of these sentry horses, and with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the two peasant army sentry horses screamed miserably and fell off their horses.

Jieyifeng's arrow hit the face of a peasant sentry, and another bow and arrow that was not collected at night hit the chest of a peasant sentry. The sentry was wearing a crotch, but it was only a cotton vest, and even the horned bow could not defend it, and he was struck by an arrow in the chest, and immediately rolled into the dust.

With a loud thud, a peasant sentry fell from his horse with a scream, and a large hole was broken in his chest, and blood gushed from it. As he rolled to the ground, a large amount of blood was scattered all over the ground.

The two brothers, "Big Girl" and "Second Girl", rushed a few steps away from the left side of these sentry horses, both with handcuffs in their hands. The eldest girl fired the gun first and killed one person. This large-caliber flintlock handcuff is so powerful that it may survive if it hits a horned bow and arrow, but it definitely won't survive if it hits a bullet.

"Erya" rushed after his brother, he held a handcuff, aimed a few steps to the right, a sentry pulled the board machine, the man brandished a waist knife and roared. In his frightened gaze, the "Erya" handcuff roared, and with the smoke of gunpowder coming out of the gun, the opposite side was also filled with blood mist, and the head wrapped in a turban exploded like that.

The two brothers rode their horses and rushed over, and after each of them had knocked down one of them, they pulled their horses and galloped away, and pulled out another handcuff with gunpowder in the holster of the saddle bridge, which had no ammunition.

Jie Yifeng shot down two people in a row, and he urged the horses to come back, "Whoosh!" A few bowstrings tightened, but a few arrows came at him.

These arrows were urgent and ruthless, and the round shield on Jieyifeng's left arm only blocked one arrow, and the rest of the two arrows were shot at his chest. Jie Yifeng was wearing a cuirass made of fine iron, and there was chain mail in it, with the power of the horse bow, it was impossible to shoot through his iron armor, and both arrows rolled into the dust.

However, these two arrows still hit Jieyifeng's chest with a faint pain, Jieyifeng was furious, he looked forward, but saw the rogue sentry in a white felt hat threw his horned bow, took off his spear from his horse, roared and rode his horse.

Jie Yifeng also threw his bow and arrow, picked off his huge one from the horse, urged the horse, and desperately met it.

The two of them shouted and hedged each other, and when the wrong horses intersected, Jieyifeng's hammer slammed into the spear of the white felt hat, smashing his tiger's mouth and shaking his horse several times. Almost unsteady on the horse. But this man was very strong, and when he pulled out his horse and came back, he drew his waist knife, and pounced viciously.

A flash of fire came out, and with the sound of the fire, the white felt hat chest burst into a blood mist, and just like that, he rolled down the horse, and when he fell off the horse, his eyes were still full of incredulity. The armor he wore on his body did not protect him in the slightest.

But it was the "big girl" who rode over and fired a blow at him, making him die before his ambition was paid.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the ten peasant army sentries were killed or wounded, but the other party was still unharmed, looking at the fierce enemies who were riding their horses around them, one of them screamed wildly, and fled on his horse. The rest of the peasant sentry cavalry stopped their horses, screamed in terror, and fell to their knees in surrender.

Looking at the person who ran away, Jie Yifeng shouted: "Play! ”

"Look at me!"

"Drama!" Jumping off his horse, he took his Rummy Gun from his back, and aimed his long musket at the fleeing man.

There was a thud, and the fleeing sentry fell straight from his horse.
