The weather in May was already relatively hot, and the team walked for a morning, and by noon the scorching light shone directly on the people's bodies, and everyone was sweating profusely.

Looking up at Yan Yanlie, Shi Bowen, the captain of the pro-soldier who had been guarding Pang Gang's side, glanced at the people who were sweating profusely, and urged him to take two steps forward and whispered to Pang Gang: "My lord, the weather is too hot, and some people will suffer from heat stroke if they continue to walk like this." ”

Pang Gang shook his head, "No, our whereabouts have been exposed, we must leave here immediately, otherwise it will not be good to wait until the Tartar brigade is entangled, don't forget that we still have more than 3,000 people with us, these people have no ability to protect themselves, once we encounter the brigade of Qing soldiers, it is difficult for us to take care of them, so not only can we not stop, we have to speed up." ”

"Are we going to continue attacking the Tartar villages?" As soon as Shi Bowen said this, even he felt that he was an idiot to ask, for fear that Pang Gang would notice that his face was flushed, so he quickly lowered his head.

Pang Gang chuckled: "Bowen, didn't you ever think about it before you spoke?" ”

Shi Bowen touched his head and smiled embarrassedly. In fact, Shi Bowen is not stupid, if he is a stupid person, Pang Gang will not let him be the captain of his own soldiers, he is just a little straightforward.

Fortunately, Pang Gang didn't continue on this issue, he looked south, and then squinted his eyes and said leisurely, "It's been almost seven or eight days since we disturbed them, it's time to go home." ”

Yes, Pang Gang is going to go home, he has been burning and killing and plundering in other people's territory for so many days, Pang Gang and his men and horses are a little tired, since they have been discovered by the Qing army, then the good things they have done these days should also reach the ears of Huang Taiji, and now it is time to go home, otherwise it is really waiting until they are surrounded by the Tartar army, and their own thousands of people are not enough to stuff their teeth.

Just when Pang Gang was thinking of it, more than a dozen fast horses ran in the distance, and there were five or six knights on horseback, and after they ran to the front of the team, several cavalrymen who were responsible for guarding Pang Gang also rode up to meet them.

One of the leaders showed a sign and said a few words to the soldiers, who nodded and let them go.

Soon, those Ye Bushu came to Pang Gang's face, and after dismounting and standing still, Ye Bushu immediately reported loudly: "Ye Bu Hui Foreign Committee Gu Chen has seen adults. ”

"Excuse me, what's going on?" Pang Gang knew that if there was no urgency, he would not be in such a hurry if he didn't collect these nights.

"Lord Qiyu, the lowly rank and others found that there was a group of Tartar cavalry galloping towards our army more than ten miles ahead, and the banner was the Tartar Zheng Red Banner men and horses."

"Oh, the Tartars react so fast!" Pang Gang was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Do you see the number of Tartars?" From which direction did it come from? ”

Gu Chen nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "I have roughly counted the number of Tartars, the number of Tartars is about five thousand, all of them are elite cavalry, and they are coming from the west. ”

"West? That's the direction of Shengjing. Pang Gang muttered to himself, and then immediately ordered: "Order, the cavalry will immediately disperse to the two wings to hide, and the whole army will immediately form a formation and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Beep beep beep ......"

The mournful whistle soon sounded, and the procession that had been walking quietly on the plain suddenly boiled as if it had been sprinkled into a pot with a ladle of cold water, and the procession, which had been stretched into a long straight line, immediately began to shrink.

The foot soldiers began to drink and ordered the rescued Han Chinese to line up the carts in a circular defensive formation, and all the people were surrounded by them, and the foot soldiers formed a square formation to block the front, and the cavalry was guarded on the two flanks.

Just as Pang Gang commanded the soldiers to set up the formation, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in front, in a burst of horses' hooves, a cloud of dust and smoke appeared in front of everyone, only to see that the cloud of smoke and dust was getting closer and closer, finally, Pang Gang saw a red flag appear in front of his eyes, and then a large red flag followed, hunting and flying in the fierce voice. Beneath the dense banners, there were knights in red armor, and fiery red helmets fluttered on the top of the jet-black pointed helmets.

The Qing soldiers were getting closer and closer, the sound of horses' hooves was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that the earth was shaking under the blow of iron hooves.

It's just that such a battle can only be a piece of cake for the Qingzhou soldiers who have been war-torn for a long time, and the Qingzhou army, which has gone through several major battles, has transformed into an elite division that has collapsed in front of Mount Tai and has not changed its face.

Now, the development of the Qingzhou Army can be said to have gone through three stages, the first stage is the stage when Pang Gang became a hundred households, that is, Pang Gang's army is mainly cold weapons, supplemented by birds, and during the period, pikemen, sword and shield soldiers are the main arms. The second stage was after Pang Gang was promoted to Qianhu, and at that stage, the army under Pang Gang's command was already equipped with Rumi guns, which could already be regarded as an army with half a hot weapon.

After Pang Gang was promoted to the commander of Qingzhou, Pang Gang began to be equipped with the Mini rifle, which has a long range and fast reload, which can be regarded as a modern weapon in the true sense. It was only at this time that Pang Gang's army could be called a modern hot-weapon army.

Therefore, although Pang Gang sometimes regrets why the "Encyclopedia of Modern Weapons" does not have a picture of the machine gun, which is known as the Cavalry Terminator, but then he thought about it, God has been good enough for himself, and he gave himself such a cheating artifact, what else could he ask for.

However, although Pang Gang only had a breech gun in his hand at this moment, this did not affect the confidence of Pang Gang and his men, and the more than 5,000 foot soldiers neatly lined up in front of the formation had already lined up in five lines. Only five paces apart from each other, they had already loaded their ammunition, the butts of their guns resting on their shoulders, and their eyes looked indifferently ahead, waiting for the commander to give the order and then shoot the cold bullets at the target.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves stopped, and the black cavalry stopped a mile away from the front of the Ming army. The leader of the team, Gushan Ezhen Ying Ordai, restrained the horse, and the Qing troops around him also pulled the reins of the horse and stopped. They were all stout, steady on their horses, and their faces were faintly full of arrogance, which seemed to be tired, and the horses under them kept waving their noses, and snorting from their mouths and noses.

Looking at the motionless Ming army in front of him, Ying Erdai couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, the calmness of this Ming army was really beyond his expectations, seeing the cavalry on the endless plain could still meet the enemy in such a calm formation, even the most elite foot soldiers of the Ming army were just like that! However, when Ying Erdai saw the thousands of people surrounded by the car array behind them, he couldn't help laughing, and pointed ahead and said.

"The commander of this Ming army is really confused, and he even has to flee with the people to flee for his life, does he want to learn from Liu Bei and buy people's hearts? It's a pity, he can't become Liu Bei, and I'm not Cao Ying! ”

"Hahaha......" The generals behind Ying Erdai also laughed, and all of them showed a hideous look in their expressions.

Ying Erdai turned his head and glanced around at the generals, and shouted: "Everyone has seen that these Han dogs who killed our people are in front of them, and they have also rescued the minions we have captured, and now those minions are hiding behind that thin car formation and shivering!" Warriors of the Qing Dynasty, tell me now, what should we do? ”

"Kill them, kill them!"

A tsunami-like sound sounded in front of the formation, and all the Qing soldiers took out their longbows, and each one with anger in their eyes, glared angrily at the Ming army in front of them wearing armor of the same color as them. They already knew the news that dozens of villages around Shengjing had been slaughtered. The Manchu people who lived in Shengjing, who didn't have a few relatives and friends living nearby, at this moment, as soon as they heard that the murderer of their clan was in front of them, without the leader's order, the Tartars' killing intent was already furious.

"Wow ......" Ying Erdai pulled out the treasure knife given by Huang Taiji at his waist, pointed ahead and shouted: "Now, I order everyone to charge!" Kill! ”

"Kill!"

With Ying Erdai's order, five thousand Qing horsemen immediately rode their horses forward, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded in the land again.

As the cavalry charged, the earth trembled faintly, and finally it shook violently, and it seemed that at the same time, at the end of the horizon on all sides, banners like oceans were poking out. Countless knights of the Qing army galloped wildly, the black pressure was boundless, they let their horses run wildly, the sound of iron hooves shook everyone's hearts faintly, in the face of such an offensive, if the more timid people were afraid that they would have been scared to pee their pants.

Pang Gang stood in the center, watching the Qing soldiers' attack in the distance expressionless, and after seeing that the cavalry had rushed into a distance of four hundred steps, he shouted loudly: "Prepare for ...... Fire! ”

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With the order of President Qian, who was located in the first row to the left of the foot soldiers, the first row of a thousand foot soldiers who had been impatient for a long time immediately pulled the trigger!

The power of a thousand Mini rifles in an instantaneous volley was amazing, and the Han people in the rear of the queue only heard a thunderous sound, and then a burst of white smoke rose up, and the Qing army, which originally seemed to them to be like a fierce god and vicious, pounced like an apple that had been bitten, and a horn was suddenly missing in front.

This first round of guns knocked the charging Qing soldiers into a daze, and at least hundreds of cavalrymen fell off their horses.
