Gunshots sounded.
After three or four nights without stopping, he was shot on the spot and fell off his horse.
There were no harvests for more than a dozen nights in total, and the number was suddenly reduced by nearly one-third. The number of people suddenly became a disadvantage.
The few Ye Bu Shuang who were holding short spear handles did not bother to close the distance and hurriedly threw their short spears towards the tiger flag cavalry on the ground.
In the panic, the accuracy was off a lot, and the distance was further away. In the end, only two short spears hit the cavalry with the tiger flag. Unfortunately, they were too straight and lacked strength, leaving only a hole in the breastplate. Well, the cavalryman inside the breastplate was not hurt at all.
boom! boom! boom!
The distance between the two sides narrowed again. One side of the tiger-shaped flag cavalry took out his musket and aimed it at the front.
Two Ye Bushou were shot and fell off their horses.
"Back off, back off."
Seeing that nearly half of his side was lost in a fight, the little flag officer, who was still in the dark, knew that staying would only lead to the death of everyone, so he retreated with a loud shout.
At the same time, he shot out the arrow in his hand, turned the horse's head and fled behind.
The other Ye Bushou also turned around and fled for their lives.
boom! boom!
A few sporadic gunshots rang out, and the tiger-shaped flag cavalryman carrying a second gun pulled out his gun and hit the fleeing soldiers.
A Ye Bu Sui who was running for his life swayed slightly after the sound of the cannon, and seemed to be hit. Fortunately, he did not fall off his horse, but lay prone on the horse's back, not knowing whether he was alive or dead for a moment.
"Chase, don't let them run away." The cavalry captain on the Tiger Flag side drew out his saber and took the lead in chasing them.
Some of the other Tiger Banner cavalry held sabers to chase the enemy, while others loaded their muskets with gunpowder and lead while riding horses.
A few Ye Bu Tshou fled in front, and a dozen cavalrymen from the Tiger Flag were chasing after them.
After chasing and escaping, the distance between the two parties gradually narrowed.
It's not that Ye Bushou's equestrian skills are worse than those of the tiger-character flag cavalry, but that the war horses are not as fat and powerful as the tiger-character flag's war horses. As they run longer, white air begins to emit from the nostrils of Ye Busu's crotch war horse, and its strength is not as good as before.
Scattered gunshots continued to sound after these few nights.
Although it did not cause any harm to these Ye Busu, it suppressed the possibility of Ye Busuo's counterattack in front, forcing these Ye Busuo to run for their lives with all their strength.
"kill!"
After a chase, the cavalrymen of the Tiger Banner finally caught up with Ye Busuo, who was escaping at the rear. The cavalry leader who rushed to the front slashed past him, slitting the neck of Ye Busuo who was being overtaken from behind.
Plop!
A body fell from the horse's back.
The rest of the Tiger Banner Cavalry team spent the rest of the night slashing and killing, or hitting the enemy with a musket.
Even after more than a dozen nights, the last one failed to escape, and all the corpses were thrown on the official road from Yingzhou to Xi'an Fort.
"Hurry up and clean up the battlefield. We will continue to look for news about the Taiyuan army." The cavalry captain said to his companions around him.
Looking at his busy companions, the cavalry captain walked towards his subordinate who was sitting on the roadside and bandaging himself, and asked with concern: "Is the injury on your arm okay? If not, you go back first, and we will do the rest of the task. Do."
"It's okay. My injury is not serious. It's just a scratch on the skin. Just wrap it with a cloth." The cavalryman sitting on the roadside grinned.
On his arm, there was a gash left by an arrow, and the area around his clothes was soaked with blood.
The cavalry captain knelt down and said, "I'll bandage you."
As he spoke, he picked up the water bag next to him, cleaned the other party's wound, took out the Jincang medicine from the paper bag, sprinkled a layer on the wound, and then tied it with a cloth strip.
"I've seen it, the wound is quite deep. It's better to go back and let the military doctor treat your injury first, and then leave the rest to us." The cavalry captain reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
As soon as the other party heard that he was told to go back, he stood up hurriedly, waving his injured arm to prove: "I'm really fine. Look at me, nothing's wrong at all, hiss!"
He stretched the wound and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Listen to me and go back. You have an arm injury now. For our cavalry, it will greatly affect the combat. Once we encounter danger, it will be difficult for us to take care of you." The cavalry captain persuaded the other party to return to the camp.
However, the subordinate in front of him said: "Commander, I'm really fine. I beat him to death with a bludgeon all night long, so please take me with you!"
"Obey the order." The cavalry commander said forcefully.
The other party lowered his head and did not dare to refute the order. He said helplessly: "Yes, I will obey the order."
"The injury on your arm is too serious and has affected the battle, but it doesn't matter. You can recover after a period of training." The cavalry captain said with relief.
Sentry riders often do the most dangerous things. Injured arms directly affect their own strength. They must endure the injuries. Once they encounter an official sentry rider again, the injury will only become more serious.
He didn't want anything to happen to his men because of their injuries.
After persuading the other party to leave, the cavalry captain returned to his horse, took out his water bag and drank some water, then put away the water bag and said to the surrounding men: "Get on your horse, let's set off."
Soon, their group of cavalry continued to rush towards Yingzhou.
Scenes like this where small groups of sentries met and fought occurred in different places.
After a fierce battle between several tiger-shaped flag sentinel cavalry and the sentry cavalry sent by Taiyuan's commander-in-chief Jie Shigong, the tiger-shaped flag's sentry cavalry, which had the upper hand in armor, all won.
Dozens of officers and soldiers stayed up all night, and in the end only a few of them escaped alive back to the camp in Yingzhou, while the Tiger Banner side only paid one life and a few wounded.
It can be said that in this battle between sentinels and cavalry, Tiger Character Banner won a complete victory.
Not only did it cause heavy damage to the enemy, but it also successfully prevented Taiyuan's commander-in-chief Jie Shigong from wanting to obtain the tiger-character flag by not collecting it at night.
Ye Bu, who had escaped back, returned to the camp and was immediately taken by their superior officer to the Chinese army's tent to see the military official.
As soon as the few Ye Bushou told them about their encounter with the Tiger-Character Sentinel Cavalry, Mr. Jie Shigong's face suddenly turned livid.
Ye Bushou, a member of the dignified official army, was actually taken down by a few cavalrymen of the bandits. In his eyes, this was simply a shame for the army.
"Come here, take these few who have stayed away all night and take them out. No one will give them thirty lashes to set an example." With a dark face, Mr. Jie Shigong issued an order to punish these few who stayed away all night.
In his eyes, he couldn't even deal with a few of the bandit's sentries. If he didn't deal with them, he shouldn't have the dignity to come back.
Regardless of the complaints of several people who refused to accept him at night, they were escorted out of the tent and whipped in public.
"The cavalrymen of the Tiger Flag are in iron armor. It is normal for our Ye Bu Shu to suffer a temporary defeat." Lieutenant General Li couldn't help but persuade after listening to the screams of the whipped Ye Bu Shu outside the tent.
