Chapter 634: Itaea Descends
Itaia led a scout party of more than twenty people to the east, and Zhenglan Banner was now responsible for the exploration of the north and south directions. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are still thousands of Ming troops in the direction of Texas in the north, although they are shivering in the city, but if there is a Ming army coming from the north, the Ming army of Texas can still play a role.
The work of the scouts is very hard and very dangerous, the army of Jiannu is imposing, and now in the Ming Dynasty Gyeonggi is invincible, but it is a large army of soldiers, there is a good saying, the Jurchens are invincible, this is the truth.
But there are still Ming people who dare to attack and kill a small number of scouts, at least a head is a few dozen taels of silver, which makes some outlaw Ming people very hot.
Of course, these people are not stupid, they either gather hundreds of people to attack the scouts, or use sneak attacks and poisoning, so the losses of the scouts are still more.
It's all too normal that the son of the out-of-tempered Niu Lu Ezhen is now sent out to do this dangerous job.
Although he has Bayan's face, but after all, he is not a banner, Shangguan Niulu can only say that he did not suppress him, but it is far from being close.
No, the work of coming out to investigate the scout came to Itaia, Itaia accepted it calmly, and now he doesn't care about all of this, in his opinion, as a confidant of the deceased banner owner, no matter what he does, there is no way out, so it is important to save his life now, and the old and young in the family really can't miss him.
More than 20 people formed a sparse long snake formation and marched slowly, the war horse is a fast walking posture, not to meet enemies and prey, the war horse is this pace, although there is a spare horse, but it is necessary to keep horsepower.
Because the spare horse now has a lot of things to tow, including blankets and looted gold and silver jewelry, but these things are just a little weighty, after all, they have been in Jizhen and Gyeonggi for a long time, and it is not uncommon to have these gains.
Along the way, they barely met anyone, except for a dozen or so homeless, who immediately ran into the fields on both sides when they saw them in fright, these soldiers with the blue flag had already looted enough, and were not interested in these homeless people who had almost no oil and water, and let them escape.
When he followed Ama on the expedition, Liaozhen was still a behemoth, although it was repelled to the Liaoxi Corridor, but it was not a good opponent, the two armies were still constantly tugging in Liaoxi and Liaonan, of course, they were the main attack on the Ming army.
But after the battle of the Daling River, the situation took a turn for the worse, Liaozhen no longer had the strength to attack Liaoshen, and the Jurchens could enter and exit the northern part of the Ming Dynasty at will, it would be an exaggeration to say that it was like entering a no-man's land, but compared with the southern soldiers who fought against the Jurchen army and the Liaozhen border army, today's Ming army can be said to be five scum of war, and you can pinch it as much as you want.
Of course, there is also a Zhao Lie, but the sad thing is that Zhao Lie also fell out with his so-called court and the Son of Heaven, and now there is news that Zhao Lie is in Denglai.
However, the more the Ming army declined, the more they were threatened, wasn't it, and Itaia was happy to accept the current situation, and saving his life came first.
Suddenly a large cloud of smoke and dust rose from the distant sky, and then the ground shook slightly.
Itaea immediately jumped off his horse, he pressed his hand to the ground, and there was a clear sound of vibration on the ground, and based on years of experience, he estimated that thousands of cavalry could rush towards it.
Itaia jumped on his horse again, and he made a gesture, and all the armor soldiers jumped off their horses and switched to the horses, knowing that danger was approaching, and it was most important to keep their horses ready to escape.
Of course, they can't flee right away, since they are scouts, such a large group of enemies are approaching, they must figure it out, otherwise they will have to fall to the ground before the enemy touches the approach.
Gradually, a large number of cavalry appeared in sight, their iron armor shining a little cold in the sun, and the tall horses they rode galloped westward.
When the other party approached the three miles, Itaia was puzzled to see that the other party turned out to be a red flag armor soldier, yes, the flag and armor are all in the style of the red flag armor.
He and the soldiers looked at it in confusion, what was going on, there were more than a dozen scouts in front of them, which meant that more than twenty of them were the most easternmost scouts of those dozen people.
So where did these all-armor red-flag soldiers come from, I haven't heard of it.
They decided to wait, but their horses had already turned west, and if the limelight was not right, they would immediately run away, which was the only way to save their lives.
When the other party approached a mile, they could see that the other party was indeed a Jurchen armored soldier, and the armor could deceive people, but the riding posture on the horse was a Jurchen at a glance, which was too familiar, and it was by no means the clumsy and stiff riding posture of the Ming cavalry.
Everyone relaxed a little, but they had not completely given up their vigilance, that was because it was said that there was no such a large force of cavalry in the East, how did it appear, this question was not solved, and no one dared to completely relax their vigilance.
"You are under the command of the Blue Banner." When the other party approached half a mile, one of the leading generals on the other side shouted, his Jurchen words were really authentic, and he was a Jurchen at all.
After listening to the other party's words, Itaia, who relaxed and reported the name of his own Niu Lu, "You are under the command of Zhenghongqi, why do you appear here." ”
"We were sent by Lord Boluo to attack Jiyang and Gaoqing County, and now we are turning back to hand over orders to Lord Bolo, where is the army now."
The general shouted.
After the death of the battle in Guanzhuang, it was Abatai's third son, Bolo, who acted as the acting red flag.
Therefore, there is no fault with what the other party said, as for not hearing that the Red Banner armor soldiers are going east, it is normal, after all, if you capture Jiyang and other places, you will divide your troops from Qihe to the east, and then capture Gaoqing County just to the south, and return to this road to Jinan.
As for why he didn't hear about it, maybe his official rank was too low, and it was normal for a small leader Cui not to know, he just needed to know that the other party was a Jurchen, and the others were too lazy to ask, and Itaia didn't care about it now.
Now that the other party continued to approach, when the other party approached more than 100 steps, a soldier suddenly shouted, "The horse is not right." ”
Hearing this, all the armor soldiers looked at each other's war horses together, and the war horses of more than 100 horses in front of them were indeed divine horses, more than half a head taller than their war horses, with extremely long limbs exposed to their muscles and bones, and the speed of the horses was extremely fast.
Well, good horse, no problem, what a problem.
These people looked at the shouting soldier again, and the meaning was obvious, there is no problem, what is wrong with the horse, what are you doing yelling and screaming.
"Only Zhao Lie's command has this kind of horse." The soldier yelled anxiously.
This sentence immediately made these armored soldiers, including Yitai Adu, blow up the nest, Zhao Lie, eh hey, as long as they hear this name, all the Jurchens will wake up, this is a fine work, this is the rhythm of someone coming to sneak attack them.
Without saying a word, Itaia immediately hit the horse and ran, and the other armor soldiers also immediately urged the horse to flee, at this time, if you don't escape, when to wait, the other party is already less than a hundred steps, even if you escape at this time, you may not be able to escape.
They ran neatly, but it was still a little late, and the stone island horses couldn't run even if they were close to within a hundred paces.
The horses' hooves stomped loudly, and the enemy behind them was in pursuit, and they were constantly approaching.
Itaia anxiously looked back and saw that the other party had been able to get closer to more than sixty steps, and the other party was still accelerating.
Yitai's whistle, all the armor soldiers tacitly turned around and opened their bows and arrows, which was not a matter for the Jurchen Iron Cavalry to look back at the moon and open their bows and arrows during the march.
At the same time, the other party also opened the bow and released the arrow, and the movements were extremely skillful, and there was no jerky feeling at all.
With a bang, the bowstring stimulated the heavy arrow, and Itaia didn't even look at it and took out another heavy arrow, but his eyes were not idle, and he saw that the other party's movements were as skillful as theirs, this Nima was definitely a Jurchen, how could he be an enemy.
Itaea couldn't figure out what was wrong even if he wanted to break his head, but it didn't delay him from shooting three heavy arrows.
He saw that more than a dozen people on the other side fell from their horses, but they were even more miserable, almost all the armored soldiers either dismounted with arrows or fell from their horses with arrows.
Itaea was the one who was hit by the arrows of the war horse, that is, he was good at riding, and when the horse neighed and staggered, he had already kicked the stirrup, and when the horse was about to fall to the ground, he supported himself from the horse with his hands, and when he landed, he rolled on the ground and stood up unharmed.
However, the other party had already arrived within ten paces, and looking at the overwhelming dust behind him, Itaea knew that as long as he resisted, he would have no luck, so he immediately threw down his bow and arrows and knelt on the ground.
One of the horsemen, who had already taken aim at him, saw it and hurriedly raised it upward, and the arrow passed through it at arm's length above Itaia's head.
A few fleeing Zhenglan Banner armor soldiers were not so lucky, they were not hit and continued to flee, and the soldiers of the Jiaxin Thousand Corps behind them approached and used their cavalry bows to solve them one by one.
This is more than 100 cavalry bows fired at several targets, and these cavalry armor are all people and horses who have become hedgehogs and die, and they can't die anymore.
Etuhun urged his horse to come to the front of Itaea, and at this time there were two other wounded soldiers of the Blue Banner who were still alive.
"Cut them down." Etu raised his hand.
"Slow down, beg the adults to let them go." Seeing that one of them, Ilan, was Amma's old subordinate, and that Eru had been following him since his death, so he prostrated and pleaded.
Etu Hun pointed at Yilan with a horsewhip, "It's not impossible to spare him, but," Etu Hun grinned, "You don't think you have to say something." ”
This honest Etuhun was extremely evil in the eyes of Yitaia at this time, and Yitaia knew that if he was captured and confessed to the general, then he would not have to return to Liaodong in the future, but he really didn't want to die, especially for Huang Taiji and others.
"I say, but you can't be untrustworthy." Itaea gritted her teeth.
"Hahaha, take a good look at these Jurchens, they all have a big enmity with the Ai Xin Jue Luo family, if you say it, you have a grudge against the Ai Xin Jue Luo family, so I will kill the Jurchens."
Etuhun pointed at the Jurchens around him with a horsewhip and said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
