The military horse ridden by the horse thieves moved Shi Dayong's greed, and this time he went south, but he didn't think of going south, so he only brought 200 cavalry from Jinzhou. It can be said that in addition to grain and grass, this war horse is what Shi Dayong is most eager to get at present.

Helplessly, his Jinzhou army was subordinate to Liao Town, and it was impossible to obtain military horse replenishment from places other than Liao Town, that is, the war horses of Taifu Temple were placed in front of him, and he Shi Dayong did not dare to take it for himself without the permission of the Ministry of War.

Sending people back to the customs to transfer war horses is too late. There were more than 100 horses in Jingying, but Shi Dayong didn't dare to have a sense of possession and snatched these war horses.

Whipped the soldiers of the Beijing camp, detained the Yongwei battalion, and scolded the eunuchs of the imperial horse with a rod, offending Gao Qiqian

Since going south, Shi Dayong has done a lot of daring things, but no matter how bold he is, he doesn't dare to grab the equipment of friendly troops, because he Shi Dayong wants to treat this loyal minister to the end in his heart!

Since he chose to be a loyal minister to protect Chongzhen and Daming, how could he have the intention of snatching the horses and equipment of the friendly army. However, if the horse was stolen and did not belong to any friendly army, it would be foolish for him not to steal it.

Robbing officials and robbers are completely two concepts, the former can make him Shi Dayong die without a place to be buried, but the latter can make him feel at ease, and even get the court's commendation.

Compared with the two, the military horse that robbed the horse thief was naturally what Shi Dayong liked to do. People die for money, birds die for food, and now he has to commit a risk for the more than 100 military horses.

Qiushui Town is forty miles away from Yanshan County, and it can be reached within half an hour.

The cavalry under his command did not suffer from night blindness, and the full moon in the sky was enough to distinguish objects, so there was no need to fear that it would be difficult to see in the dark and affect the march.

The only thing that makes people distressed is the weather, it is late at night, the weather is cold, although there is no wind, but it also makes people feel boneless, stop for a while, there is a chill in the bones.

However, the cold did not stop Shi Dayong from grabbing the military horses, let alone make the wolf cavalry flinch. Knowing that they were going back to exterminate a gang of horse thieves, the wolf cavalry was all gearing up, so they were not excited. For them, a gang of bandits is like a dish on a plate, and it is no effort to eliminate them.

Moreover, no matter whether the enemy is a rebel of Jiannu or a Confucian thief, or a bandit with a loud horse, that head is counted as a military merit. Since going south, the Jinzhou army has not fought any enemy, so naturally it has no military merits. Now that the military exploits are sent to the door, the soldiers will of course be excited.

The Jinzhou army, which had experienced the bloody battle of the Great and Small Ling River and the defense of Jinzhou, already regarded itself as a strong army, and had a kind of arrogance that looked down on everything

Shi Dayong thought that with the ferocity and well-trained wolf cavalry, even if he did not wear heavy armor, he could kill those loud horse thieves and defeat the army, so he ordered the cavalry to set off lightly, except for carrying weapons, not a single thing. The goal is to rush to Qiushui Town as quickly as possible.

Cao Bianjiao was more careful, and after asking the two soldiers for some details, he asked the soldiers to immediately wrap the horse's hooves in thick cloth and cotton, so that the horses would not be so loud when they galloped, and they could achieve a surprising effect.

Of course, Shi Dayong agreed with Xiao Cao's method, and after explaining to Jiang Wanli and Shao Wu, he asked them to camp on the spot, build a bonfire, and wait for them to come back.

After the wolf cavalry was ready, Shi Dayong immediately asked the two pro-soldiers to lead the way, and two hundred horsemen galloped towards Qiushui Town

When Shi Dayong led the wolf to ride to Qiushui Town, at the edge of the town, a large group of soldiers from the Beijing camp climbed onto the beams of a house and shouted at the angry horse thieves on the opposite side:

"Aren't you horse thieves, but why are you sneaking into the town without making a sound? Ha Lu Ha! ”

"A capable man with a knife and a gun, what kind of hero is a sneaky man!"

"Don't think that Lao Tzu is really afraid of you, tell you, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand is not a vegetarian, you can kill Tartars back then, if you don't believe it, just let the horse come over and see if Lao Tzu has bragging!

"Fucking thieves, you dog thieves, you have the ability to get off the horse, and grandpa will accompany you to the end!"

“”

In the midst of the coaxing, some Beijing soldiers untied their belts and peed on the opposite side, so angry that the horse thieves on the opposite side gritted their teeth, but they were helpless.

Peng Dazhui, the leader of the horse thieves, was also very annoyed at this time, originally thinking that he would take advantage of the night when the defense of the black officers and soldiers was lax, so that twenty agile and brave men sneaked into the town, and then killed the officers and soldiers by surprise, and then took advantage of the chaos to set fire to the officers and soldiers out of the town, and then he led people to clean them up. Where do you know that the officers and soldiers on the other side have no eggs to fight, but they are very shrewd, and they have been waiting in ambush there for a long time.

As a result, none of the twenty skilled brothers came out alive after entering, but Peng Dazhui saw with his own eyes that a child of Ma Hu from a neighboring village was directly blasted out by the fire guns of the officers and soldiers, so he lay on the ground and struggled in pain for a long time before swallowing his breath.

Seeing that the child died so miserably, Peng Dazhui hated it so much that he really wanted to rush in and kill all these officers and soldiers to avenge the child. However, the officers and soldiers guarded the town densely, and the passages into the town were also piled up with obstacles, and they were so chaotic that the horses could not enter at all, and even if they rushed in, they would be beaten cold by the officers and soldiers hiding in the people's houses, and they could not be guarded against.

By the evening to now, nearly forty brothers have been folded, and if it continues like this, not to mention that Peng Dazhui can't bear it, and his subordinates are afraid and won't agree. After all, they were preparing to go south to Henan, not to fight with the officers and soldiers here.

Damn, if you don't come out, I'm just here watching, I don't believe you can hide in the town for the rest of your life and not come out!

Peng slitched his saliva and pulled the leather jacket on his body up. The second leader on the side, Qi Lao Er, saw that the officers and soldiers were making a fuss, frowned, and persuaded Peng Dazhui in a low voice: "Big brother, these officers and soldiers are too cunning to come out and fight us, it's not interesting for us to stay here, the brothers have folded a lot, it's better to withdraw." If other officers and soldiers arrive after dawn, I am afraid that it will be troublesome. ”

Hearing this, Peng Sihai, the nephew of the third master Peng Dazhui, also echoed: "The second uncle is right, uncle, let's go, it's important to go to Henan, there is no need to fight with these officers and soldiers." ”

Remove?

Peng Dazhui was a little unwilling, but Qi Lao Er and his nephew were right, if the turtles inside didn't come out, what would he mean even if he stayed here for a year, he still had to leave. But just like that, what will happen to the dead brothers?

Just as he was in a dilemma, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the east end of the calm town, and an unusually sharp scream was heard immediately.

When the screams were still floating in the air in Qiushui Town, Peng Dazhui, Qi Laoer, and Peng Sihai's faces changed, and they were all thinking at the same time: The officers and soldiers came so fast?
