Chapter 36 The robbery of the Qing army

The infantry armor of the Qing army did not climb directly to the top of the slope as expected, and then condescendingly attacked the musket sideline, the soldiers held several pounds of muskets, even their arms were sore, and they did not see half of the Tartar rising from the top of the slope.

And the more than 100 cavalry Tartars just now, after not taking advantage of it, did not forcibly fight with the cavalry of the left team, but actually went far around the rear flank of the musket column, trying to find a flaw and wait for an opportunity to attack, and at the same time with the idea of scouting to see if these Ming troops still had ambushes. But no matter how they moved, they always kept a considerable distance from Lu Jiu's left team, Lu Jiu relied on the majority of people to prepare for a direct impact, but no matter how he collided, he could never get close.

Lu Jiu not only did not hurt the Tartar at the rush pass, but was shot twice in a row by the opponent's bow. Fortunately, the riders were protected by half of their scales, so there were no casualties.

Even so, Lu Jiu no longer dared to punch and rush, but just left the place of a stone's throw away, accompanied by surveillance.

For a while, the cavalry could not fight, and the so-called confrontation of the infantry did not even see half a shadow of the other side.

Li Xin only felt that this Qing army was like a loach and did not leave his hands, obviously close at hand, but he did not engage in battle. Time is passing by minute and second, and the two sides are so deadlocked, and the longer the time drags on, the foreboding becomes stronger.

Clearly, the Tartars were in no hurry to fight, as if they were to be held back on the slopes of this hill, and their former aggressiveness was now beginning to become cunning and changeable.

Several scouts on the mountain bag were all shot by the Tartars with bows and arrows one by one, and Li Xin did not send any more people up in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, and thus lost the movement of the Tartar infantry armor.

Li Xin felt pressured by this, and his tactical intention of static braking was reversed by the other party unconsciously, and he was restrained here and unable to move. The longer the time drags on, the greater the variables and the greater the risks, and a way must be found to change this extremely unfavorable situation.

After hesitating, someone gave Li Xin an opinion.

"Leader Li, why wait here for the rabbit, don't forget that we are also cavalry!"

The person who spoke was dressed in shining bright light armor, and it was Kong Youde. Li Xin has always been confined to the infantry column to think about the problem, but he forgot that the right team has a war horse for each person, which is also half a cavalry.

"Brother Kong really woke up the dreamer with a word."

"All men will take their guns and horses, and follow me into the estuary."

Each of the soldiers on the right had a sharpened wooden pole, which was nailed to the ground to make a bolted horse, and 300 horses were tied to within ten paces behind them. After the order was given, the horizontal team was completely disrupted, and everyone went straight to their horses.

Li Xin was also about to get on the horse, but he felt that his clothes were tight, it turned out that the skinny refugee he had just rescued grabbed the hem of his half-body iron armor, his eyes were full of fear, and he looked carefully through the mud on his face, and it turned out to be a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, about fifteen years old, and he couldn't help but feel a soft heart.

"You wait for me here, and I'll come looking for you after killing the Tartars!"

The young man opened his mouth, but without speaking, two lines of tears burst into the embankment.

"Young master, don't cry, the officers and soldiers are all cowards and soft eggs, I have seven to protect you, if you come to a Tartar, you will kill a Tartar, and if you come to a pair of Tartars, you will kill a pair of Tartars!"

The man named Yu Qi is another survivor, and he should be the child's servant! And this young man should also be the young master of the Fugui family, thinking of this, Li Xin is embarrassed, if it weren't for the Tartar into the Kou, this young man must still be innocent and enjoying his carefree life, missing the private school, playing in the mountains and waters, and the bubble maid. It's a pity that this qiē has now become a dream bubble, his family is ruined, his property is lost, even if he escapes this catastrophe, he can't go back to his original life track, how should he live in the future?

I saw that after listening to Zeng Qi's words, the young man wiped a handful of tears, nodded his head twice, signaled that he would not cry, and stretched out his hand full of mud and gestured twice. Li Xin didn't know what he was trying to say, but he could see that the young man should be a mute.

A feeling of powerlessness came to Li Xin's head, and he couldn't protect them for a while, so he flew on his horse, whistled, and rushed out, not to the top of the mountain that was facing them, but to the north and gallop to the left.

The musketeers on the right also mounted their horses and followed Li Xin.

The young man, despite his composure, could not hide his fear, and suddenly a large hand fell on top of his head.

"Hey, hey! Your doll is born white, it's better to be a scholar for me Kong Youde! How about ensuring that you have no worries about food and clothing in the future? "In ancient times, the scholar of the man of the rich and noble family was not only a child servant who served the master's daily life, but also had the task of relieving the loneliness of the tent. Just because they can't get close to women during the period of hard reading poetry and books, some people specially choose the handsome boy to be this scholar, and really read to relieve boredom.

Kong Youde's words are frivolous and ill-intentioned, how can the master and servant from a big family not hear the strong indecent malice!

Zeng Qi hurriedly pulled the young man behind him, looked at Kong Youde with a hostile face, and put on a posture of being desperate at any time. Kong Youde was bored with himself, and laughed: "Why take it seriously, it's just a joke with your young master." Only then did he get on the horse and go to pick up the brigade of Li Xinzuo's team.

In the blink of an eye, only the master and servant were left in the place where people shouted and neighed. The young man stared at Kong Youde's back and seemed thoughtful, and his gorgeous Mingguang armor could be distinguished clearly even from a distance.

"Young master, let's hurry up, look at the general surnamed Kong is not like a good person, and these subordinates of his are probably not much better!"

Kong Youde, dressed in Mingguang armor, really stood out among the soldiers of the left and right teams who were all half-covered scales and armor, and even Li Xin, Lu Jiu, Zhang Shi and others were ordinary soldiers, so it was no wonder that Zeng Qi misunderstood that he was the main general.

Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head, grabbed Zeng Qi with his right hand, waved his left hand twice, and stood firmly in place.

Besides, Li Xin galloped with the entire right team of horses, galloped a full mile to the north, and then turned to the east, and went straight into the people, animals, and goods that were heading north along the Pigpen River.

Li Xin's actions greatly exceeded Tartar's expectations, and the infantry soldiers who were originally confronting the right team were confused for a while, and when they reacted, Li Xin had already appeared with the right team by the Pigpen River nearly two miles away to the north.

It wasn't until he rushed into the escort team that Li Xin understood why the Tartars didn't confront him, and the Tartar soldiers in this escort team, let alone a thousand, were probably not so easy to get together enough for 800 people. Li Xin sneered, the Qing army is really a big one, when I have no one in China?

In fact, if Li Xin hadn't appeared here, this escort team would probably have arrived at its destination safely without any accidents.

As far as the eye can see, countless Han Chinese are tied to slaves and strung together with ropes, and they are driven forward like cattle.

"Lu Jiu, divide a hundred people and cut the ropes on the people, be fast! The rest of the people are in charge of guarding."

The section of the team they attacked happened to have no Qing troops, or occasionally a few, and they all hid when they saw a large force of cavalry arriving, which gave Li Xin an opportunity to let go of the captive people and share the looted goods. Dolgon would be very angry when he found out, Li Xin thought with a bad taste! Dolgon was not as wise and wise as he had deliberately appeared, and after a few days of contact with the Qing army camp outside Gaoyang City, he deeply felt that this person was not as consistent as he seemed.

"General Xie's life-saving grace ......"

"General Entong recreates ......"

All kinds of thanksgiving voices were endless, and Li Xin hurriedly shouted: "Don't be verbose, the Tartar army is nearby, if you don't run now, when will you wait?" Take the goods in the car, and run for your life! ”

The refugees who had kowtowed to thank Li Xin just now listened to Li Xin's words, like hunters who had met their prey, and rushed to the cart one after another, packing their belongings in large bags.

"Look, the Tartars are coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and sure enough, a group of about 300 infantry soldiers killed from the other side of the river, and in the upper reaches of the Pigpen River, the water is shallow in winter, and it is not knee-deep, so they crossed the river without much effort. When the people who divided the wealth saw that the Tartars had been killed, they were so frightened that they could no longer care about robbing things, so they ran away one after another, for no amount of money was worth their lives.

The soldiers who were sent out to cut ropes for the people had already gone out for more than half a mile all the way to the north, and it was too late to recruit them back, and only the 200 people in front of them could organize resistance. How could the people rush and bump here, and the horizontal team was rushed as soon as it was lined up, and Zhang Shiqi's scolding was useless, and he couldn't use force against the people.

Li Xin was horrified to find that at this time, the entire right team had fallen into a state of disorganization, and it was impossible to form an effective battle formation at all. Just when he was stunned, the Tartar infantry armor soldiers who crossed the Pigpen River rushed into the chaotic crowd of people, cutting people when they saw them, and killing people when they saw them.

The soldiers of the right team mingled with the fleeing crowd of civilians, trying to maintain their formation, but they still could not withstand the onslaught of the civilians again and again.

The Tartars also changed from aimless slashing and slashing to taking the soldiers of the right team as the first target of the attack, but at this moment the right team has been divided into two parts by the fleeing people, one is on the side of Li Xin and Lu Jiu, which is to the north, about 100 people. In the other part, dozens of people were isolated to the south. The main target of the Tartars was the part of the right army that was isolated from the south.

At first, Li Xin didn't know why the Tartars didn't come to attack himself under the general's banner, but he went to attack the dozens of right soldiers. When his eyes swept over Kong Youde, who was trapped with him, it suddenly became clear that it was Kong Youde's bright and gorgeous Mingguang armor that attracted the Tartars' soldiers.

Kong Youde was horrified to find that he had become the target of the Tartar attack after cutting down two Tartar armorers. He quickly figured out that it was the disaster caused by this Mingguang armor, but it was too late to regret it, and taking off the Mingguang armor at this time would only make him die faster. However, what made him even more frightened was that the soldiers on the right team around him didn't care about him at all, but just focused on moving closer to Li Xin. What should he do?
