Chapter 51

PS: I apologize at the beginning, the kerosene thing is indeed a bit oolong. Lao Long took it for granted, and only after checking the information did he know. Kerosene was originally introduced to China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but it has already been written here. There is no way to change it, only to change it to kerosene. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

In just one day and one night, Li Xiao has seen the ultimate interpretation of tearing and blood, death and survival. This made Li Xiao, who lived in a peaceful era and had only experienced exercises and training, very shocked.

Looking at the bulge under the snow, the people there were still alive yesterday. Today, it is a corpse covered in snow. There were corpses everywhere, they couldn't even have coffins. It won't even be buried!

There were too many corpses, it was winter, and the ground was frozen like stones. After a night of cold, no one had the heart to dig a pit and bury these people. Moreover, the Qi family army that was trapped today also had to face the crazy attack of the Tartar soldiers.

It's cold, and everyone's mouth is a chimney. As long as you can breathe, you will spew out puffs of white gas. If there is no white gas spewed out, eighty percent of them will not be able to spew out in this life.

The sun hasn't come out yet, and the sky hasn't yet brightened. Zhou Dunji came to find Ao Canghai and Li Xiao, saying that Qi Jin was looking for them.

Walking to the middle of the military formation, Ao Canghai and Li Xiao saw Yuan An. Obviously, this eldest prince is well taken care of. He was wrapped in a blanket, and although his face was blue from the cold and his snot was long, he was much better than Li Xiaolai.

"Old Ao, there are a total of fifteen horses here. You have to rush out and find Zhu Wanliang or Jiang Bi, and with their answer, we can retreat. Otherwise, the brothers would have froze to death here even if they did not die in battle.

If......! Qi Jin paused, took a deep breath, and then said: "If Zhu Wanliang and Jiang Bi refuse to come, we will go to Liaoyang to ask the Minister of Economic Affairs to send troops." The eldest prince will go back with you, and you have the best work right away, so you must protect the eldest prince. ”

Qi Jin's meaning is obvious, I will send your son back when it is in danger. At the moment of life and death, you have to pull your brother.

Ao Canghai glanced at Li Xiao and did not answer Qi Jin's words.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Ao Canghai turned around and asked. He had already made up his mind if Li Xiao couldn't ride a horse. Let Li Xiao sit on the horse's buttocks and tie it to his body with a belt. No matter what, I have to take Li Xiao out alive. In Ao Canghai's heart, Li Xiao is much more important than Yuan Dagongzi.

"Yes!" What are you kidding, can Lao Tzu ride a horse after staying in Zhu Rihe for several years? Armored cars will drive!

"Brother Xiao is going with you!" Hearing Ao Canghai say this, Qi Jin still opened his mouth. This is equivalent to giving Li Xiao a chance to live, if there is no reinforcement, everyone here will die.

For Qi Jin's words, Ao Canghai was very surprised. Qi Jin is not a person who can release water for personal friendship. Especially at this juncture!

More than a dozen knights led the war horses, and three of them were divided between Li Xiao, Ao Canghai and Yuan An.

Yuan Ang patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and said, "I strongly recommended it to General Qi, and you left with me." If you don't leave, I won't go back to Liaoyang. You are talented, and it is not worth it to fold here. ”

Ao Canghai pursed his lips, no wonder the old-fashioned Qi Jin would let Li Xiao occupy a horse. It turned out to be Yuan An's request, and he still relied on other people's Lao Tzu to send rescue soldiers, so Qi Jin would never refute Yuan Dagongzi's face.

"Thanks!" Although I don't know why Yuan Ang is so good to him, Li Xiao is still very grateful. This is a chance to live, but not everyone has it.

When the day is not yet bright, it is the time when people are most relaxed. Everyone was thinking that since they hadn't run all night, no one would run at dawn now.

The Tartar soldiers gathered firewood, took out sticky bean buns, roasted them on the fire, and ate them. They also froze that night, but compared to the Ming army, they were much better. At least there's still a fire to roast! The surrounded Ming army was miserable, and they didn't even build a fire and froze for a night.

Huang Taiji took the sticky bean bun roasted by the guards and took a bite while it was hot. Although his mouth is hot, he is reluctant to spit it out. He had been worried all night last night, because Baitapu had already discovered a large number of Ming troops. There are as many as seven or eight thousand people! And in his own hands, there are only 4,000 cavalry. If these two roads are allowed to converge, after the strength of the Ming army is greatly enhanced, they will alternately cover the retreat. Until it was withdrawn to Liaoyang City, there were more than 10,000 soldiers. Attacking Liaoyang City will be very difficult.

Fortunately, after contact yesterday evening, those Ming troops retreated. At night, he also camped near Baitapu, more than ten miles away from the Ming army in front of him, but he did not come up to reinforce it. It seems that the general of this Ming army is a soft egg. Just scare them a little more today and stabilize them. Father Khan would take the rest of the banners across the Hunhe River and eat the Ming army that had been frozen for a night.

I heard that the Ming army in front of me was the elite, the Qi family army that fought with his father Khan in North Korea. You have to be careful!

As soon as I ate two sticky bean buns, I heard the screams of people and the neighing of war horses in the distance. By the light of the sky, Huang Taiji saw more than a dozen war horses galloping out of the Ming army's array. The first member of the fierce general, the strong bow in his hand is five feet away. Every time the bowstring sounded, there would always be a soldier of the Eight Banners who fell off his horse.

Huang Taiji was taken aback, he was afraid that the entire Ming army would take the opportunity to break through. Seeing that the Ming army brigade did not move, his heart settled down a little.

Without Huang Taiji's orders, a cavalry with yellow flags immediately rushed over. For a moment, the arrows were like locusts, shooting at the knights on horseback.

Li Xiao lowered his head and tried to keep his body close to the horse's back. Holding a round shield in his hand, he knocked arrows from time to time. Yuan An, who was caught in the middle by people, also tried his best to lower his body. But instead of a round shield, he had a long sword in his hand.

Arrows flew by with "whoosh" and "whoosh", and more than 20 cavalry rushed towards them.

Ao Canghai wielded a big bow, and three arrows were fired in succession, and three Tartar soldiers were immediately shot off their horses. And the arrows sent by the Tartar soldiers also hit two Ming cavalrymen. For a time, people on both sides kept falling off the horse.

There are only three arrows in the battle, and after three arrows are shot. Ao Canghai hung up his big bow, drew his saber and slashed head-on.

"Bell!" The two sabers collided and sparked. Ao Canghai stirred the saber in his hand, and an extremely ugly sound of metal friction sounded. The saber in Ao Canghai's hand was attached to the opponent's saber, and it was slashed horizontally. With the speed of the galloping horse, the two horses missed the time. Half of the Tartar soldier's head had been cut off until Ao Canghai ran more than a foot away. The blood in the cavity of the Tartar soldiers poured out like a fountain.

Ao Canghai didn't have time to look at his results, and turned around to dodge the spear that stabbed him. The saber slashed against the barrel of the spear, and five or six fingers fell to the ground along with the spear.

Seeing that there were no more Eight Banners soldiers in front of him, he was about to turn around and say hello. Seeing the situation behind him, Ao Canghai was taken aback.
