Chapter 282 - The First Battle of the Cossacks (13)
The Rakshasa translator had long been a little overwhelmed, and finally after Wuenqi's generous speech was finished, he hurriedly returned to his horse and fled again, and rushed into his own team.
Wu Enqi no longer paid attention to the Rakshasa horse team opposite and around, but looked back at the soldiers beside him, and his eyes had changed to a resolute determination:
"Brethren, today is the time of our death! Are you afraid? ”
"Niu Lu, will we be afraid of these Rakshasas? Are we afraid, brethren? A soldier beside him asked loudly.
"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! The answer of the twenty people swallowed the mountains and rivers!
"Good! You can say that again! Who is afraid of death in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty? Those who are afraid of death have been killed by us all the way! Ha Lu Ha! We have no bad breeds in the blue flag! Brothers, if you die, you will die, and the court will take care of our parents and wives, and I will have no worries about leaving! It doesn't matter if we die here today, and tomorrow General Lanbai's army will let none of these Rakshasas be left for us to be buried! It's just that I can't stand everyone, so I can only go back to Beijing with our ashes jar by other brothers to see our army Desheng triumphant! Unqi immediately slammed his right fist on his chest and bowed his head slightly in apology.
"The Qing Dynasty will win!" Another Qing soldier roared with a hideous face.
"The Qing Dynasty will win! Brothers, kill with me! In the next life, we will be brothers again! Wu Enqi nodded vigorously and drew his saber with a snort. With such a close distance and such a small number of men, it would only be a drop in the bucket to cast a bow and arrow, but it would delay time, and it would be better to rush into one go......
But this decisive action made the Rakshasa cavalry who were an arrow away instantly uneasy, and they didn't want to believe that the small Qing army that was at an absolute disadvantage would rather die than surrender!
Maybe the panic of the Rakshasa people is too dazzling. It reminded Wu Enqi of something, and at the moment before he was about to urge the war horse, he hurriedly turned back:
"You guys, before you die, don't forget to give Lao Tzu the fruit first, and then be loyal to the country!" Uenqi said, pointing to the cavalrymen who were guarding several Rakshasa captives.
"Huh!" All the blue-flag cavalry also responded with a serious face and generosity.
"Brothers, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, the will to fall into battle! Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! Finally, without hesitation, the dwarf Mongolian horse rushed forward to the Don River, which was several times its size.
"Qing Dynasty warriors, the will to fall into battle! Chinese Ruishi. There is no advance or retreat! Echoing the sounds of fighting in the distance. Once again, the oath of the Chinese soldiers echoed across the plain......
The Cossacks on the opposite side began to adjust into a stormtrooper formation. The surrounding cavalry encirclement has also begun to shrink rapidly, and it is ready to wipe out this small group of "unashamed" Chinese soldiers.
A seemingly tragic fight, or a confrontation with a huge disparity in strength. It's about to be staged......
"Uh......h Woohoo......"
Right now. The north finally sounded the sound of the Qing soldiers' familiar and friendly horns!
"The clarion call of the Qing Dynasty! Our clarion call for the Qing Dynasty! A Qing soldier shouted excitedly!
"Ha Lu Ha! Good! Unqi was overjoyed. Continuing to urge the war horse, he raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers! Kill! ”
"Qing Dynasty warriors, the will to fall into battle! Chinese Ruishi, there is no advance or retreat! Kill! ”
An equally firm shout came from behind him. But it's not a formation that one or twenty people can make! Wu Enqi hurriedly looked back, and the first thing he saw was the Rakshasa cavalry hastily withdrawn from the northern encirclement, and they were eager to crash into the towering trees, in order to avoid continuing to entangle with these more than 20 Qing soldiers.
Raising his gaze a little higher, past the outlaw rakshasas and dense tree trunks, Wu Enqi was pleasantly surprised to see that in the distance, there were three or four Qing cavalry brothers from Niulu, led by a huge blue flag, rushing from the north, and had already entered the woods and was close at hand. Behind them, although there are trees blocking their eyes, they can vaguely distinguish hundreds of blue-flaged infantry soldiers with shotguns in their hands!
"Lord Rambai is here! Lord Rambai is here! ”
When Wu Enqi turned his horse's head and looked to the south again, he saw that the seventy or eighty Rakshasa cavalry who had surrounded him had already turned their horses and fled. In a panic, some of them even lost their hooves in the woods, or were stopped by tree branches.
"Brothers, leave five people to guard the bandits, and the rest will follow me to pick up the other brothers!"
"Huh!" More than a dozen war horses guarded a small blue banner, leading the thousands of blue worship troops behind the huge battle flag, and rushed to the small battlefield at the river bend where they passed when they came.

I have to say that Lan Bai's strategy of "outflanking" from the north has worked wonders!
Two days ago, after receiving a military report from Wu Enqi, Lan Bai led his 3,000 cavalry infantry with blue flags to the northwest to the lakeside. Along the way, he deliberately avoided the rugged post road that the Rakshasas had also repaired, and instead chose to follow the lake as close as possible. Although they slept in the open air, they didn't care about a little rest, and the three participating men and horses hurried day and night, and the 600-mile journey was really finished.
As they rounded the southwest corner of Lake Baihar, the scouts found traces of the Rakshasa camping, but that was a day ago. So, Lan Bai decisively ordered, and a Niu Lu continued to slowly go north, and went out to reconnoiter along the post road where the Rakshasas came out, to see if there were any other Rakshasa reinforcements coming south. He led the army to resolutely turn back to the south, looking for the traces of the Rakshasa army and slowly approaching.
From the news of the scouts, he had long known that the Rakshasa people were no more than 600 people, and they also carried more than a dozen baggage carriages, not like they were specially coming to fight against the Qing army, but like ordinary baggage troops, escorting grain and grass. In that case, it is not a problem to eliminate them.
So Lan Bai was not in a hurry, shortening the distance with the enemy little by little, waiting for the best opportunity to wipe them out.
This morning, the time finally came! The scouts reported that the Rakshasas had not set out early in the morning as they had done yesterday, but had set up camp south of a river bend on the shore of the lake. In that case, just clean them up and finish it! Lan Bai gave an order, the horse team went first, and behind the infantry hall, the three thousand people were in a huge formation, but they quietly touched up.
Until we arrived at this small wood, there was a sound of fighting ahead!
"What? Zishiha is up? Lamb hurriedly asked the scout who had just returned.
"General Yu, it's not Jixiha's Mongolian Eight Banners, but our own banner with the blue flag! It's just that there are not many people, like half a cow. The scout replied succinctly.
"Oh? Half a cow ...... It must have been the Rakshasas and the brethren who were responsible for warning them! Listen to my military orders, do it! Lan Bai decisively ordered. So, just when Wu Enqi was about to die generously, the main force of Manchuria with the blue flag finally appeared on the battlefield!

"Kill!"
Swinging his saber, Unqi had already cut off the heads of three Cossacks. But he was still anxious, and even hoped that the Rakshasa cavalry, which was less than a hundred people in front of him, would quickly give way to a road, so that he could fly to his own men, who were also less than a hundred people in front.
The sixty or seventy Cossacks who fled really disrupted the position of their main cavalry troops.
The Cossacks, who were fighting with the blue-banner cavalry in the clearing on the edge of the forest, did not know what was happening, but saw their companions rushing from behind without hesitation, and did not take over the vicious fight in front of them, but shouted while running wildly: "The Bogda soldiers are coming!" The Bogda soldiers are coming......"
This shout was tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall, but the Cossack cavalry, who had heard it clearly, was no longer in the mood to continue fighting, turned their horses and ran south - there was their camp, and there were more than 300 archers! Despite the fact that they were Lithuanians, whom the Cossacks always looked down upon, they were enough to save lives!
"Niu Lu! You're back! One of his men saw Uenqi and shouted excitedly.
"It's back! Good job! Our army with blue flags is behind, follow me! Wu Enqi rode on his horse, touched this brother who had died with the back of his knife, which was already stained with blood, and after shouting, he continued to urge the horse away!
"Brethren, here comes our army of blue flags! Lord Rambai has arrived! Keep up with Niu Lu and kill! "The little brother has a good summary ability and plays the role of a commander!
"Oh...... Kill! ”
One pass ten, ten to hundred, Wu Enqi's men at this time there were less than sixty people, but the good news of the imminent victory was quickly spread, all the blue flag Qing soldiers who could get on the horse urged the war horse again, and the wind and clouds generally rushed forward with the leader of Wu Enqi......
"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
