In Amur's thoughts, the current Ming army has long been frightened under the deterrence of the Great Qing State for many years, although occasionally there are some spies who dare to compete with the Great Qing State at night, but now he has 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, in his opinion, these two thousand soldiers and horses are enough to fight with 10,000 Ming troops without falling behind, so although he knows that there must be Ming troops on the side of Shandong in the southeast, he does not think that he will be in any danger.

On the 28th of February, there was silence in the town of Sitong, and the only sound of the Qing patrols walking was heard from time to time, and in a large room, Amur was lying on his bed, and beside him lay two naked[***], slightly beautiful women were looking at Amur with a pair of red eyes from crying and a look of fear.

Last night Amur gave desperate vent to his bestial desires on the two snatched women, and did not fall asleep until the middle of the night, and now he slept soundly.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the door, followed by a rush of footsteps, "My lord, my lord, the villain has an urgent military report!" ”

Amur, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by the noise outside the door, and Amur, who was disturbed by his good dreams, sat up with his upper body and showed the thick chest hair on his upper body, he was angry and put on a small hexagram and walked to the door barefoot, and scolded angrily: "You damn slaves, if you let the master hear it, what kind of trivial thing will it be, see that the master doesn't pick your skin." ”

After walking to the door, Amur saw a spy kneeling in front of the door, and Amur, who was still worried about being disturbed by someone's good dreams, stretched out his furry big foot and kicked the spy, and then asked impatiently: "Tell me, what is going on?" ”

The spy reported in an anxious voice: "Lord Qiqi, the villain and others just found a large group of people and horses of the Ming army twenty miles away from Sitong Town, and they are heading towards Sitong Town at this moment. ”

"What!" Amur was shocked, reached out and grabbed the spy by the collar, pulled him up hard, and shouted: "This is true, how many people are there, and whether there are cavalry?" ”

"Back to the adult's words, what the villain said is true, the villain ran into the Ming army when he went to the southeast to check, those Ming troops are all foot soldiers, about 3,000 people, and a number of unknown baggage behind, but the cavalry is very few, only about 100 horses. The villain and others were noticed and surrounded by the Ming army's night when they were checked, and the villain was outnumbered, and the people and horses were completely lost, and only the villain escaped. ”

"Wow, I didn't look for those Han dogs, but I didn't expect them to come to the door." Amur thought that this was a provocation by the Ming army to himself, and a wave of anger surged into his heart, "It seems that the prestige of our Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry has not yet been introduced to Shandong, so that now even cats and dogs dare to bark their teeth at the master." ”

"Pass the order, let everyone assemble, and prepare to destroy the Ming army that dares to come to death with the master!"

"Scum!"

Amur gave the order, and soon a low horn sounded in the town, and a group of Qing soldiers quickly assembled, and under the leadership of their respective Niu Lu, they drove towards the outside of Sitong Town, and a fierce battle was about to begin.

At this time, more than ten miles outside Sitong Town, Pang Gang is leading the army to move forward steadily, just now Wang Zhilai reported that the whereabouts of the troops have been discovered by the Tartars, Pang Gang knew that if the Tartars heard that the Ming army was coming to attack, they would definitely attack with all their might. Therefore, Pang Gang immediately turned the team into a battle formation, transferred the baggage battalion, which was originally at the end, to the middle of the marching team, and prepared the thorn chariot as well.

The so-called thorn chariot is to insert an iron plate full of iron thorns on the appearance of the cart, these chariots are used to pull and transport grain, and can also be used as a shield to protect infantry in wartime, which is also one of the effective weapons used by the Ming army to deal with the Qing army in the late Ming Dynasty.

When Pang Gang's group of men and horses walked to an open terrain less than ten miles away from Sitong Town, a panting horse on a fast horse that did not stop at night came and reported loudly: "My lord, there is a large group of Tartar soldiers rushing towards our army in front. ”

"Sure enough!" Pang Gang snorted coldly and said: "The Tartars are really as arrogant as rumored, and the official ordered that all the troops immediately pull the carts and form a formation to prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Yes"

At the sound of an order, 700 baggage soldiers quickly divided hundreds of carts into two layers and formed a large circle, protecting all the soldiers, and nearly 100 people who did not collect at night also scattered with a roar and began to wander outside the cart array.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pang Gang divided the 1,000 Birdmen into five rows and stood at the back of the formation, with 1,000 sword and shield men protecting the wings, and the pikemen in the center ready to respond at any time. Ear Gang also stood in the center of the car formation with the support of hundreds of personal soldiers, and Ye Bushu also took turns to report to Pang Gang the distance between the Qing soldiers and the people of the headquarters.

After a while, in a puff of billowing smoke and dust, hundreds of Tatar cavalry appeared in front of everyone, and the spies of the Qing soldiers not far away were still fighting with the Ming army's Ye Bushu, and the two sides won and lost each other. Looking at the night that was constantly fighting fiercely, Pang Gang sighed in his heart at the scarcity of war horses in the army, if he had a thousand cavalry in his hands, why not let the elite night not collect it to do such a trivial work.

It stands to reason that the 1,000 bird gunners in front should be commanded by a thousand households, but Pang Gang's army is overstaffed, and he is the only one in the entire army of more than 4,000 people, so Pang Gang had to order Li Yuan to temporarily replace the command.

Among the first Tatar cavalry, the leader of the group, Niu Lu, was named Sakhalian, a famous warrior in the blue banner, and this time he was ordered by Amur to test the reality of this Ming army with his own men and horses.

Seeing that the Ming army on the opposite side had already formed a car formation, Sakhalian, who was riding on the horse, had a sneer of disdain in his heart, and said in his heart that these Ming troops were no different from those Ming troops he had encountered in the past, and after encountering the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom, he would only shrink up and be a turtle with a shrunken head. But they forgot that even the strong city walls could not stop the iron hooves of their Qing warriors, so how could the small chariot formation withstand it?

Sakhalian turned his head to a white-armored soldier beside him and said, "Bol Zhongguo, you immediately take a hundred warriors with bows and arrows to tell those southern barbarians that our Qing Dynasty's iron cavalry cannot be blocked by a mere chariot formation." ”

"Scum!"

Sakhalian is a veteran soldier, and he has dealt with the Ming army for many years, he knows very well the combat power of the Ming army during this period, his plan is very simple, that is, to use a hundred Qing soldiers to demonstrate to these Ming troops, if the Ming army can not bear the strength to retreat, it is naturally the best, so that he can calmly take his Niu Lu to slaughter these Ming troops who can only walk on two legs. If the Ming army did not retreat, it would be good to frighten them and make them timid.

It stands to reason that Sakhalian's plan was right, and there was nothing wrong with it, as he usually used this method when he encountered the resistance of the Ming army, and he tried it repeatedly. But what he didn't expect was that what he encountered today was not the Ming army he met in peacetime.

Bor Zhongguo led a hundred cavalry without hesitation, so he rushed straight to the Ming army's car formation, and let out a strange cry of "wow" while charging, and they relied on such a strange cry to make the Ming army frightened in the previous battle.

Li Yuan had already drawn his waist knife, stood at the back of the car formation, and coldly watched the cavalry of the Tartars in front of him rushing towards his position, when he saw that some of the soldiers around him were a little nervous because of their first battle, their faces began to change color, and shouted loudly, "Don't panic, don't panic, do it according to the training of the usual, each platoon listens to my order and prepares to take turns firing the platoon guns!" ”

In the rumble, a hundred Tartar cavalry rushed to the Ming army's car formation, the distance is getting closer and closer, soon they have seen the appearance of the Ming army on the opposite side, when the Tartar soldiers saw the Ming army on the opposite side actually holding a bird gun, many Tartars couldn't help grinning, in their impression that the Ming army's bird gun is actually synonymous with waste, they are afraid of both wind and rain, and often ten times in bad weather may not be able to fire once. Now those Ming troops use bird guns instead of bows and arrows, and Bolzhong really doesn't know whether to praise them for their bravery or call them stupid.

The overjoyed Qing soldiers rode their horses faster, and soon approached a distance of a hundred paces, and many Qing soldiers had already taken out their bows and arrows and were ready to fire arrows at this chariot array.

At this moment, the Qing soldiers who were desperately riding their horses only heard a burst of gunfire in front of them, accompanied by a thick white smoke, and the dozens of cavalrymen running in front fell off their horses as if they had been punched head-on by a giant, followed by a burst of mournful screams of horses, which were the wails of war horses that had been hit by lead bullets.

"Those Nanban's firearms have already been fired once, let's rush over and destroy them all!" Seeing that his subordinates had lost dozens of horses under a volley of the Ming army, Bol Zhongguo felt a pain in his heart, he knew very well that the chances of those warriors who fell off their horses were very slim, and under the trampling of the horses' hooves behind, it was good that they could have a whole corpse.

"Keep rushing!" With red eyes, Bol waved the tiger head gun in his hand and shouted, "Ready to shoot"

Before Bol Zhongguo's words were finished, there was a burst of fried bean-like gunshots in front of him, and Bol Zhongguo, who was brandishing a tiger head gun while cheering up his subordinates, only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and as soon as he looked down, he saw a small hole the size of a small finger appeared in the cotton armor on his chest, and then he felt that the strength of his whole body seemed to be leaving him. Unable to hold the reins any longer, he fell headlong and fell heavily to the ground, and at the same time, the Qing soldiers who followed him also fell to the ground.

A cavalry of 100 men perished
