Wu Enqi took his so-called "half of the Niulu" men and horses, except for the brothers who were still scattered around to watch and watch, that is, a team of less than 100 people, and stared at the Rakshasa army like this, and now it was the second day.

Yesterday afternoon, the army of more than 500 people slowly came to the vicinity of this river bend with a strange baggage force composed of twenty grain carts drawn by three horses and one cart, and was discovered by their own scouts, and it was a "unilateral" discovery - the Rakshasa bandit army did not realize that in this deserted territory, they were already under the surveillance of the Qing army!

"Hehe, three horses and a car, the Rakshasa people seem to have a lot of horses!"

As the first Chinese soldier in history to see the famous Russian "three sets of carriages", Wu Enqi became interested in it. After lying there and observing for a long time, this Mongolian, who has loved foals since childhood, finally saw some ways: the Rakshasas did not simply put three tall horses on a car at the same time!

In fact, the three horses are very special: they are shaped like a fan, with the main horse driving in the middle, and the other two horses on both sides, one on each side. The horses in the middle trot, and the horses on both sides trot. In addition, the most important feature of this carriage is, in Wuenqi's opinion, that is, it is fast - three horses run, and the middle horse, although heavy, is the only master of the vehicle. The horses on either side seem to be freer, but they must be under the constraints of the horse in the middle. In this way, there is no need for the traditional Chinese "three carriages" to consume the amount of force between the horses, and the two small wooden wheels "squeak and twist" and run fast. Ideal for navigating the vast wilderness and dense forests of Siberia!

Although Uenqi loves horses, he has not forgotten his duty, and sent someone to send the information back to Ulan-Ude as soon as possible. After that, the small troops under his command patiently lurked, intending to follow them all the way before the arrival of the army, and be the first to rush out of the city at a critical time, and to take it by surprise and take the lead.

The way the Rakshasa army marched and camped was completely different from the Qing army that Wuenqi was familiar with—when they set out, the cavalry did not send even a single scout, and the infantry did not do any vigilance. Just in a long line. The main firearms were all around a man who looked like an officer. And they only take the rugged post road that has been formed, unscrupulous and defenseless. Maybe it's because he's always coming and going, overconfident about the situation around him—Uenqi explained the Rakshasa people.

What's even stranger is that it's almost noon today. Except that the official took a few people to the river bend to "hide" it. The brigade has not had any intention of setting up camp so far!

"Could it be that they found themselves around? Are you ready to defend it? "The last thing Unqi wants is to see this happen. If the words are true, wouldn't it be a startling snake? If they broke through in groups at this time, their half of Niu Lu would really not be able to resist the five or six hundred Rakshasas who swarmed out, armed with shotguns and cavalry!

Especially the sound of muskets just now. It simply frightened Uenqi - because the few of his own people lurking on the side of the source of the gunfire did not have arquebuses, only bows and arrows, waist knives, and spears. Could it be that it was discovered by those Rakshasas? But why is there only one gunshot but no fighting? Do you need to send reinforcements yourself? Or do you want to sit back and watch what happens?

Fortunately, this entanglement and uneasiness did not last long, and the "variables" of sitting back and watching the changes came-because the Rakshasas themselves fought! A team of about two Rakshasa musketeers against about the same number of Rakshasa cavalry!

At first, Wu Enqi thought that these Rakshasas had noticed that there was a Qing army in the river bay and mobilized their troops, and they were about to make an emergency, but they found that they were practicing by themselves! I was just about to think that these Rakshasa soldiers were going to engage in some kind of "martial arts" today, but they found that a person who looked like an officer actually cut off the head of a cavalryman with a knife!

Really? This time, Wu Enqi finally understood - the Rakshasa army was infighting! It's a pity that neither side really used muskets and firearms, and most of them just fists and swords against each other. Otherwise, there would be no need to do it yourself, and in less than half an hour, this group of Rakshasas would be exhausted - Wu Enqi was lying on the top of the hill watching the battle, and he secretly applauded, and he didn't care about the gunshot just now.

"Lord Niulu!" At this time, a soldier ran over with his waist bent, and suddenly lay down beside Wu Enqi silently.

"Just in time! What the hell is going on over there? Wu Enqi asked eagerly, with a bit of reproach.

"My lord, I was ordered to lurk in the northern river, but I encountered a few Rakshasas who came out of the camp to make rounds. These four rakshasas were like scouts, inspecting the grass in the river bay very carefully, and they were about to touch the grass nest where the brothers were hiding, and one of the brothers under the mark couldn't help it, and shot an arrow without waiting for my order, and it turned out that this kid really picked up the beans, and hit the ...... with one blow," the little leader said with some smugness.

"Bastard! If you have exposed your deeds, will not you spoil my great affairs? Wu Enqi almost jumped high and scolded all of a sudden, but in view of the situation, he used his eyes to "cut a thousand knives" his subordinate.

"Niu Lu, don't worry, you listen to me. I also thought that we were exposed, and I was just about to start together to serve those few Rakshasa people, but I didn't think that there were less than ten Rakshasa officers on the other side of the river, and they were ...... "The leader was happy.

"What are they doing?" Wu Enqi has been impatient for a long time.

"They're hunting wild ducks!"

"Hunting mallards? You say, the Rakshasas are hunting? Not a scout? ”

"It's the hunt! Not a scout! Niu Lu, you say it's a coincidence, at the same time as my brother released the arrow, the Rakshasa also shot an arrow, and they were impartial and went to the unlucky Rakshasa man, but the accuracy was much worse, and the arrow shaft had already flown away......"

"Huh? Are you telling the truth? ”

"My lord, how many little heads dare to talk to you here? That Rakshasa man's arrow was really not strong enough, far worse than ours, but it just flew over the top of his little head. ”

"Then they didn't find you, why did they set up the muskets......" Wu Enqi remembered this doubt, and seemed to understand again.

"That's when they were hunting ducks. The Rakshasas had just touched into the woods of the bend, and we thought they were here to set up a sentry, but it turned out quickly, and guess what, the leader drank the wine, just a few minions lying there pretending to hunt wild ducks! One of them also fired a shot, but it didn't hit anything, but it startled a flock of ducks. One of the two leaders hurriedly stood up and shot with a bow, but it was too ......," the man said with a low chuckle.

Indeed, the front-loading smoothbore musket of the XVII century was not so unreliable in terms of shooting accuracy. This point can be analyzed from the example of a large number of imperial bird guns as special hunting firearms for the emperor during the Kangxi period. However, it will take nearly a minute to reload after a musket has been fired. Therefore, in a hurry, the Rakshasa people saw the flying ducks, and it was still reasonable and natural for them to choose to use bows and arrows in a hurry.

"And then?" Wu Enqi was shocked, angry and amused, so he had to continue to ask.

Then the rest of the rakshasas who came out to patrol quarreled with the dozen or so rakshasas who had come out to hunt, and the brothers took advantage of this opportunity to retreat a distance of several dozen paces. However, the mark thought that the hunting rakshasa was an official, so he gave the boys who patrolled a big ear scraper on the spot, and reprimanded him. Then one of the beaten boys ran back, and the other two carried the corpses back, about the same as when I returned, and I guess they should be back to their camping place by this time. The leader smiled almost from ear to ear.

"Why, you're saying they didn't even notice you? Could it be that they ...... "Wu Enqi couldn't believe his ears!"

"Niu Lu, who said it wasn't! These Rakshasa stupid pigs didn't notice us at all, and eighty percent thought that their Rakshasa officer had killed the unlucky guy with an arrow! It seems that the official is already drunk, and he didn't carefully inspect the arrow shaft, our imperial arrow shaft inlaid with blue flags is famous in the entire Eight Banners, how can they be compared to the 'curved pole' of their Rakshasa people......" The leader chattered endlessly, still immersed in joy.

"Drunk?" Unqi understood the reason for shooting wild ducks with a musket, and he followed suit.

"Not really! When beating up their own people, the leader almost fell into the mud himself! ”

"Slow! Where are those Rakshasa bandits? Wu Enqi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pointed the question to the point.

"I got drunk and went back to shoot ducks. But this is so lively here, I guess I should have to go home, hehe......" The leader hasn't fully comprehended the point.

"Quick! Gather all the brethren and come with me! Wu Enqi no longer hesitated, and after giving the order, he jumped out of the bushes where he was hiding, and rushed down the hill - this was the God-given opportunity that Wu Enqi was waiting for, and he must not miss it! More wins less, it's all here!

Behind Wu Enqi, half of Niu Lu's brothers got up quietly and ran down the hillside, skillfully stepped on the war horse hidden in the woods, and then no longer hidden, like his own Niu Lu, beat the horse and galloped wildly......

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea
