The sun had passed midday, and there was still no one on the opposite hillside. Xingna's expression was still calm, but the other Houjin soldiers had gradually begun to wander, and some even whispered to each other.

The white-armored soldiers next to him wanted to speak several times, there were many mosquitoes in summer, although these people had been trained in the mountains and forests, but after being in the plains for a long time, it was impossible to have no complaints.

The rest of him finally couldn't help but speak, but he saw Xingna gently stretch out his hand, "Come out." ”

The white armor soldiers hurriedly stopped, turned their heads to the slope a mile away, and saw that three things covered with wild grass had just stood up and slowly moved to the top of the mountain, the sentry of the Houjin soldiers had never been dressed like this, it must be the Ming army, their camouflage was very good, even now, if Xingna did not point in the direction, it would not be easy to find out their whereabouts.

Xingna also admired in his heart, this is the first time he has seen the disguised appearance of the Denglai scouts, Tiancong three years he also entered the customs with the army, from the battle of Gu'an began to pay attention to this unique Ming army, and later Jinzhou when he also went to the ancestral Shou ironclad family Ding's battle, are very brave, up up the southern barbarians also have warriors.

The white-armored soldiers were glad that they had not argued with Xingna just now, and hurriedly beckoned the other armor soldiers to keep an eye on the hillside together.

The white-armored soldier admired and asked Xingna, "Xingna, are we going to follow?" ”

Xingna looked up at the sky, and then sneered: "These people are the same as the few people we sent out, they are all fishing bait. ”

Bai Jia was stunned, "Then should we follow?" These Ming troops are quite cunning, and the north and south of Dongping Mountain are too long, if they chase from the bottom of the mountain. It is easy for them to get from the top of the mountain, and if you go directly up the mountain, there is a steep slope near the top of the mountain, and the horses cannot go up. ”

Xingna nodded, "That's true, let Daha lead people to chase, these Ming troops are climbing the mountain, the horses must be on the eastern slope, and there should be someone to answer there." Let Daha be careful with the ambush and not go into the woods. ”

Bai Jia said in a low voice: "What should I do if I chase it down?" ”

Xingna said coldly: "You and I stay here, wait for the remaining Ming army to appear, and we will go north to track them." These Ming troops are difficult to deal with, and Daha must be allowed to attract their attention from the south. We can do it from the north. ”

"Do you want to keep two more people?"

"No need, let's go to track it, there are many people and it's inconvenient, just you and me."

Bai Jia worried: "This group of Ming troops is so cunning, if someone picks them up on the way, Daha and them may be in danger, Daha is a close confidant of Fourteen Beyler......"

Kona looked down expressionlessly and thought for a moment. According to his meaning, he will not care about some losses, he just wants to find the hiding place of the Ming army, and then the army will be wiped out in one fell swoop It is the most cost-effective. But the positive white flag is relatively special among the eight flags. The two brothers, Azig and Dolgon, each led more than a dozen oxen, the first banner owner was Azig, Dolgon only served as the banner master in the first year of Chongzhen, and Azig, as the elder brother, lived under the younger brother. If there is a burden in the mind, the attitude will not be correct. The affairs of Qizhong are not very cooperative, and the two are basically in charge of their own affairs.

Xingna himself is under Niu Lu, to which Azig belongs, but Daha belongs to Dolgon, even if Xingna is brave, he does not dare to despise the banner master, so he has to shake his head and say: "If it is in danger, we will no longer follow it, and take down those Ming troops first." ”

Bai Jia agreed, and quickly went to inform Daha, and when the Ming troops disappeared on the top of the mountain, Daha led more than a dozen other armor soldiers out of the woods and went south to bypass Dongping Mountain.

As Xingna expected, in the grass on the mountain, there were still three people lying on their stomachs, Li Tao's group of seven people, in addition to the three just now, there was also a horse stake on the east slope.

More than a dozen Jiannu cavalrymen who ran out of the woods with buckteeth couldn't help but smile, "Sure enough, there are Tartars." They all wore chain mail, but Lao Tzu estimated that there were at least two or three white-armored soldiers. ”

Li Tao let out a long sigh of relief, "There are more than ten people, but since we know about it, they don't have anything to do." ”

Bucktooth grinned, "Shall we cut off a few heads?" ”

"Of course you do, otherwise Lao Tzu will retreat at night, why take risks during the day, let's go." ……

Li Tao and the three of them rode through the hills, and the two of them vigilantly observed the surroundings, they had been here many times, and they were already very familiar with it, and the woods and rivers that could be used for cover were very clear.

They tried not to walk on the ridge as much as possible, so as not to show their obvious figures, for they were not far ahead of the group of Houjin soldiers. This group of Houjin soldiers is quietly following behind the four special service members, and they are also very skillful in using hills and trees to hide themselves.

After the three of them led the horse to cross a river again, Li Tao came to a broken small tree, which was mixed in dense bushes, and if it was not specially observed, it would not be clear that it had been broken, which was a secret mark left by the previous team members. This was originally their rendezvous point, and if the front team members left first and broke the branches, it meant that they had found that the enemy was following, and Li Tao needed to go to the next meeting point to participate in the aid or attack.

Li Tao put his mind at ease when he arrived at Xiaoshu, which shows that the previous few team members have found the stalker, and they also know that there are a lot of people, otherwise they will ambush here, since they know that there are many enemies, then they will not be caught up by those Houjin soldiers, Li Tao's front and rear flanking plan may be successful, these Jiannu who can be sentinels are at least veterans of more than five years, and they are the real backbone of Houjin, and it is not so easy to make up for killing one.

Li Tao pressed down some excited thoughts, got on his horse and made a detour to the pick-up location, which was not far from the secret camp, and a group of special service teams would meet there. After a little farther away, both of them sped up, and they were in a hurry to get on their way, not noticing that two men were following them two hundred paces behind them.

It is thirty miles away from Fuzhou, since the Han people were killed, the fertile field is overgrown with grass, the two of them walked in it, the surrounding desolate wilderness seems very quiet, only some birdsong and insect chirping, the horse's hooves step on the wild grass, the sound of hooves has become dull, but this is very in line with Li Tao's hope now, so as to avoid the sound of hooves from spreading far away.

They soon reached the vicinity of the pick-up point, which was the exit of a hill, and beyond that was the Jianzi Mountain, in which their camp was hidden. Li Tao and Bucktooth were hiding in a wooded area south of the ambush. There was a forest path that could be passed, and when they set up this contact point, they had prepared a plan, and this path was the most likely direction to choose in the Jiannu panic.

The three of them skillfully removed the carrying bags on their horses, which contained tripwires, thistles, buckteeth, and a pair of crossbows, and they pulled two tripwires in succession at the bend, and the last one at a little apart, to deal with the cavalry who could skip the first two. Finally, six ropes were laid on the front and back. Finally, he threw some single boiled poisonous devil arrow tribulus terrestris before and after.

They were all used to doing these things, and the three of them didn't talk to each other, and they were done quietly and quickly. After the arrangement was made, Li Tao and the others hid in the forest, and he took another new team member to the side. Bucktooth led the three horses to the other side, tied them to the depths of the woods, and each of them examined the short-shot and drew his bow and arrow.

After the ambush was completed, the forest became quiet again, Li Tao quietly waited for the ambush on the other side, and a birdsong sounded in the distance. Learning vividly, Li Tao gestured to the bucktooth opposite, and several people took out heavy arrows at the same time and put them on the bowstring.

There was a moment of silence. Suddenly, a violent explosion came from the north, and a thick white smoke rose from there, flying into the sky with countless broken branches and leaves. The birds in the forest flew in fright, and all kinds of small beasts fled wildly on the forest path. Although two hundred steps away, Li Tao still felt a slight vibration on the ground.

Two small stones snapped down on the path. Li Tao took a look and knew that it was a mine set up over there, which was one of the strange weapons of the special service team.

As early as the Song Dynasty, there was the application of primitive mines, to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the "Fire Dragon Sutra" recorded a special chain of mines, after more than 200 years of slow development, like other firearms, to the late Ming Dynasty appeared a lot of kinds, there are more than 10 kinds of self-committed cannons, lying on the ground to the sky, 10,000 bullet mine guns, etc., the most advanced has adopted the trigger mode, using the steel machine to fire. Qi Jiguang used it for the defense of the city in Jizhen, and the most powerful of them was the special service team's favorite 10,000-bomb mine gun.

Since the large-scale application of the Wendeng flintlock pistol, the workshop has also begun to use the flintlock machine to try to produce mines, so that the ignition rate is much higher than that of steel wheel mines. The 10,000-bomb mine cannon uses a tripping hair, with a ceramic container charge underneath and gravel on top, which belongs to the rudimentary form of directional mines. This kind of mine is easy to bury, and you can even find a suitable place after carrying a bag of gunpowder to the place, dig a hole in the wall on the side of the road, and point the hole in the shape of a trumpet obliquely ahead, and then smash a bunch of small stones on the spot and lay it on it, and finally hang a flintlock machine, which can not only trip hair, but also use people to pull hair.

Li Tao didn't have to think about it to know that those Jiannu must have suffered heavy losses, there were faint screams and bowstring vibrations, shouting and killing gradually came to the south, Li Tao hid behind a tree, waiting quietly, the best time is when Jiannu was tripped and thrown into a ball, the riders behind would also stop, at that time the target was stopped, they could use heavier arrows with better accuracy to kill and injure several people first, and then approach with a short gun attack, which can effectively kill and injure the enemy, but also cause the opponent to be extremely flustered, and reduce the difficulty of the final hand-to-hand combat.

The sound of horses' hooves was approaching, and the panicked shouts of Manchu could already be heard, and Li Tao was about to start drawing his bow, when suddenly a slight sound came into his ears, although extremely slight, but it gave him a familiar and dangerous feeling.

"Squat!" Li Tao buried his head suddenly, and almost at the same time, two loud bangs came, a heavy arrow slammed through his bun, and with a muffled sound it was inserted into the tree in front of him, and the tail of the arrow buzzed violently. Before the new team member could dodge, the armor-breaking cone tore open the chain mail and hit the vest, and the team member shook and fell to the ground limply.

The sound of rubbing branches and leaves came from behind him, someone was approaching quickly, Li Tao didn't know the number of enemies, one rolled and hid on the other side of the tree, and shouted in his mouth: "Buckteeth, there are tartars behind." ”

For Li Tao and others, the shape has changed dramatically in a blink of an eye, they want to flank each other, but now they are being flanked, in fact, if Xingna didn't want to track them, they could have raided them a long time ago, but at this time, Daha and others were obviously ambushed, and found that Li Tao and others arranged vicious, if they didn't make a move, Daha and others might be wiped out, so they took action to deal with Li Tao and others, and wanted to respond to Daha's retreat.

Bucktooth was on the other side of the road, he had already discovered the situation, and the probe found that there was a figure on the other side approaching rapidly, and the heavy arrow in his hand was shooting, and the target was nimble and dodged, and the arrow hit a tree trunk.

An arrow missed, the two enemies were ten steps away in a blink of an eye, Li Tao just probed from the left side of the tree, just saw the left Tartar arm swinging violently, a flying sword broke through the air and flew head-on, Li Tao quickly shrank his head and turned around, the short gun in his right hand was aimed at the direction of memory and pulled, how did he know that Jiannu reacted quickly, and flashed to the right before the gun rang out, and the short gun roared and hit the air. Li Tao didn't care whether he hit or not, he quickly threw down the short spear, drew out the flying axe and projected it at the other Jiannu white armor.

On the other side, Jiannu Baijia dodged the heavy arrows of the bucktooth and rushed quickly, he had reached Li Tao's figure, the two threw at the same time, and the two flying axes staggered in the air. There were two muffled sounds, and under the rapid dodge of the two, they were not smashed, and Li Tao's right arm was scraped by the iron head of the flying axe, and his arm was numb.

Fortunately, the buckteeth quickly rushed out and fought against the white armor, relieving Li Tao of suffering from the enemy on both sides.

Xing Na has bypassed the left side of the tree, the knife in his hand is slashed, the speed is extremely fast, Li Tao did not have time to breathe and raised the knife, when there was a sound, sparks splashed on the knife body, a gap collapsed, a fierce force attacked, Li Tao's Qi family knife was pressed to his own chest, Li Tao was chopped and staggered back a few steps, and then fell to the ground on his back.

Xingna's second knife came immediately, this time it was aimed at Li Tao's leg, as long as the opponent lost the ability to move, he had only let him kill, Li Tao had never encountered such a fierce opponent, his right arm could not be raised at all at this time, and he tried his best to roll to the side at the last moment, Xingna moved quickly, and did not give Li Tao a chance to get up at all, and immediately slashed at Li Tao's leg, Li Tao's body was blocked by a small tree next to him, and his legs rolled in a hurry, and the blade crossed with blood beads, Xingna didn't expect to be able to dodge like this, The knife was used too violently and slashed into the dirt, giving Li Tao a short chance to breathe.

Li Tao didn't care about the wound, grabbed the trunk of the small tree with his left hand and turned over and stood up, at this time Xingna slashed over with another knife, Li Tao dodged to the side, and cut off the trunk of the small tree with a knife, and the upper half of the tree body fell down, just in the direction of Xingna, Xingna's left arm waved the tree body and flew away, and when he went to look for Li Tao again, he saw a back figure fleeing to the forest, and at the same time shouting, "Bucktooth run!" Stop it. ”

Xingna looked unwilling, he didn't expect this Ming army to be so tenacious, he almost had to take these knives, but in the end only injured him, Xingna didn't have time to pursue, he turned his head and rushed to the other Baijia, Baijia had just been injured by Li Tao, and was at a disadvantage, and Luoya didn't dare to take one enemy and two after hearing the sound, so he took advantage of the upper hand and got out of the way, and flashed into the jungle on the other side.

Several people went back and forth several times between life and death, but in fact it was only a short time, at this time Jiannu's deserters had not yet arrived, Xingna picked up the step bow thrown by Li Tao on the ground, and guarded the direction of the bucktooth, and the other white armor regardless of the injury, waved the knife to cut off the tripping horse rope one by one, and swept away all the thistles on the ground.

When the sound of the horse's hooves approached the bend, Bai Jia reminded him loudly in Manchu that Daha's response came from the road, and they soon appeared at the bend, and only seven of the twelve pursuers remained, and two were wounded, their faces full of panic.

"You go first, I'll come to the back of the palace." Xingna's calm tone made a few fleeing Houjin soldiers stabilize their minds.

After they passed, the sound of the hooves of the Ming army's pursuers approached, and Xingna threw the thistle terrestris back on the road, only to hear someone shouting in the forest: "Behind, turn that place and go slower, Jiannu has two people to answer, and there are stepping bows." ”

Xingna heard that it was the injured Ming army scout at the beginning, the scar on the corner of his mouth was leading, spelling out a reluctant smile expression, he turned around and was about to leave, walked two steps and stopped, then turned around and picked up the short gun left by Li Tao on the ground, and said loudly in Chinese to the forest: "Nikan of Fangcai, I have taken your firecracker, my name is Xingna, remember, next time I will take your head." ”

Kona ran back and forth after saying that, and soon disappeared into the leafy woods
