The four cavalrymen in the second row of the Qing cavalry launched a death charge towards Hu Dake's troops forty steps away. They brandished various long and short weapons, roared, urged their horses, and charged madly.
However, in front of the elite Ming army who were waiting in full formation, their four-horse charge seemed so feeble.
With a burst of bullets and arrows flying around, they followed in the footsteps of the first row of Qing troops. Only one Qing infantry cavalry threw a throwing ax at the moment of death.
Most of their usual throwing ax spears have a rope wrapped around the back end. When throwing, they pull the rope instantly to make the throwing ax rotate forward. If the throwing ax is embedded in the enemy's shield or armor when throwing, just force it back. Pull to cause more damage.
The flying ax with a long tail flew through the air and spun around, and was embedded in the shield of a sergeant. If it were hit by him, even if there was armor to block it, he would probably be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
On the opposite side, Wu Zhizhong rode his horse and led his team towards him. He shouted from a distance: "Dake, the south is safe. Hurry up and move the team to the north. Brother hasn't had enough of killing yet."
Seeing Wu Zhizhong galloping towards him, the shield formation in front immediately stood up and ran away to both sides. The two rows behind did the same and moved out of the way of the middle street.
Hu Dake first shouted an order: "Team A, take inventory of the battlefield, Team B, Team C, quickly assemble."
"Boss Wu, why didn't you come to the village to split heads with your brothers instead of guarding the pontoon?" Hu Dake joked to Wu Zhizhong.
Wu Zhizhong smiled and replied: "Haha, I'll steal your head. I've been ordered to help you attack the Tatars."
After he finished speaking, he turned around on his horse and glanced at the sergeant on the sentry post behind him. More than sixty horsemen followed him on horseback.
"Dake, I will go to the north of the village to find the boss first." After Wu Zhizhong finished speaking, without waiting for Hu Dake's reply, he turned to his right sentry sergeant and shouted: "Right sentry, target the entrance of the north village, attack."
After saying that, he took the lead in beating the horse and rode north along the empty street, followed by a group of knights. In order to avoid the horses released by the sentry sergeant Hu Dake, they had to ride two horses side by side, trotting all the way. went.
…………
A large courtyard in the north of Mafang Village was crowded with people. About seventy Qing troops gathered here. A leaf of armor collided with each other, and the sound of people shouting and horses neighing was heard.
"Ming Gouzi, where did you come from? Tucker's hair was eaten. Where are the people?"
Fende Bashiku, a member of the Qing army, yelled and cursed loudly.
He has dispatched only two elite cavalrymen in uniforms to conduct sentinel inspections in the west and north directions of Mafang. The focus is on King Qin's frontier troops stationed in Changping.
In fact, he didn't take Changping's Qin Wang border troops too seriously. In his eyes, the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers were just that, "Guarding a city might be enough, but in the wild, aren't they always like rabbits?" Yes, we, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, chased us away."
As for sending out two elite horsemen and cavalry, it was just to avoid the situation where King Qin of Changping’s border troops suddenly moved their camps. If he hadn’t encountered the entire battalion of Ming Dogs, he believed that he could kill every single one of them with these horse-armored infantry. Do not stay.
But what happened today?
There were two elite knights in vests, who were the best warriors in the Qing Dynasty. Without even a trace of movement, Ming Gouzi was allowed to charge into the horse stable.
If Ming Gou's elite troops attacked at night and attacked the guards at the west village entrance of Mafang, it might be possible, but where were his two elite men in vests?
"Master Alha, would you please mount your horse?"
A coated Aha interrupted his thoughts, holding a war horse in his hand, while another coated Aha touched the ground with all four limbs, kneeling on the left side of the horse, and mounted the horse for the Fende Pashiku named Alha. Dun command.
Arha stepped on the back of the wrapped aha, got on his horse, turned around and said: "Darshan, I will give you five assistants and twenty aha, get some women to block the streets, go out and drag Ming away. Dog, we are waiting for you in the north of our village."
A tall, muscular and bearded man from the Qing army rode forward and responded loudly: "Yes. Mr. Alha, please rest assured."
After saying that, he galloped out of the yard, shouted loudly, and called a series of names, followed by the sound of a group of women screaming, wailing, and neighing.
"Baliba, Dutta, form the team, go out of the north exit and go to the sunbathing field."
Alha loudly issued military orders.
His intention was obvious. The streets and alleys in this village were not suitable for cavalry charges or guerrilla warfare. Besides, no one knew how many Ming troops had entered the village.
Sure enough, it was the old Tatars who had been killed for a long time. They immediately made a wise decision and cruelly used the women they had raped as shields. They even gave up twenty coated aha to serve as assistants for the infantry brigade. Gain time to retreat and fight again as a team.
…………
The wind was blowing harder and harder, and the snow was falling harder and harder. There were snowflakes in the wind, and the streets began to become a little blurry.
Chen Zheng led the outpost cavalry north along the dirt street, killing several coated Aha along the way, and fought all the way into the mafang.
While traveling, a sudden sound of a woman screaming and wailing was heard, and the horse couldn't help but slow down.
In the wind and snow, I could vaguely see dozens of disheveled women blocking the front. Many of them had their thighs and arms exposed. They mixed with the slowly falling silvery white snowflakes, making them look dazzling.
Chen Zheng only felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and a surge of anger surged in his heart. The damn Tatars actually used women as a shield.
He shouted loudly: "Team A and team B are off their horses, take off their cloaks and wrap them around the aunts, while team C goes forward to guard and guard."
There was a sound of colliding beetle leaves, mixed with the slightly noisy footsteps, and the sergeants shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, move to the side, move to the wall, get out of the way of the road..."
The streets were so noisy that the women did not dare to resist. They leaned to both sides obediently, with bright red cloaks draped on them.
But after all, there were many people and many hands, and there were screams for a while. I don’t know who moved the hands or feet, whether intentionally or unintentionally. With so many people and such a distance, some contact is inevitable.
"ah!"
A scream woke everyone up.
In the wind and snow, an arrow stirred up the wind and snow, flew quickly, and hit a sergeant in the neck. Blood spurted out instantly and fell on the snow-covered street.
"Ah...ah..."
Two extremely shrill female screams were heard. The frightened women were running around and were hit by stray arrows fired by the Qing army.
The women who had just stepped out of the street were like frightened deer, screaming and running around, causing chaos on the street.
Chen Zheng quickly turned over and dismounted, shouting loudly: "Dismount, everyone, dismount."
Riding on the horse, the target was too prominent. The knights of Team C behind him got off their horses one after another, but they were all blocked behind the group of women and could not cross the street.
"Make way, get down. If you don't want to die, get down." Chen Zheng shouted loudly, holding a long knife.
"Everyone lie down. If you want to survive, get over and lie down..."
"Go against the wall and lie down. If you don't want to die, lie down quickly..."
The sergeants at the outpost were holding shields and waving the weapons in their hands, shouting at the women to step aside and lie down. Some sergeants even started to beat the women with their weapons.
"Ding...ding..."
Two more arrows flew over and hit the sergeant's shield, making two crisp noises and falling to the ground.
After being driven away by the sergeants, most of the frightened women were already wearing red cloaks and lying on the ground on both sides of the street.
Chen Zheng held the long sword, leaned forward at the waist, lowered his body, and rushed up from the middle of the street. In front of him were four guards, all of whom were holding shields in their left hands and holding the waist knife, short axe, iron bone flower, etc. in their right hand. Short soldiers.
"There aren't many Tatars on the other side. The big guys rush up and kill the Tatars." Chen Zheng roared and rushed forward.
"Kill the Tartars, kill..."
…
The Qing army's Zhuangda Dashan led five auxiliary soldiers. Only two of them were good at archery, and he was the only three archers. He couldn't see clearly in the wind and snow. The few arrows he had just shot sounded like they were just arrows. A Ming soldier was shot, and there were two screams that were obviously girly.
At this time, seeing that the Ming army had already charged forward, he shouted loudly: "If you have a shield, shoot your feet."
If the shield is placed in front of the body, it is convenient to move it up to protect the head and face, but it is not so convenient to move it down to protect the feet or calves. This strong Qing army is indeed cunning.
"Master, run away, the dog is coming..."
He had just finished another round when he heard the trembling voice of a coated Aha behind him.
"damn thing."
The furious Darshan cursed loudly, picked up the short ax on the ground with his right hand, turned around and slashed the wrapped Aha's neck, blood spurted out and splashed all over his face.
He stuck out his tongue and licked the blood around his mouth, and roared ferociously: "Aha, charge forward. If you don't want to die, just charge forward."
The remaining nineteen coated Aha had the same fearful attitude just now, but now they were shocked by his murderous appearance, and they were even more frightened when they looked at his hideous face with blood donation.
After he finished speaking, a coated Aha involuntarily raised his ax and charged forward with a howl.
Some people took the lead, and others followed. Nineteen coated Aha clenched the various short soldiers in their hands, howling, and rushed towards the Ming army on the opposite side.
…
"Boo...hoo...boo..."
The arrows broke through the wind and snow and flew towards them.
"ah……"
One of the guards was shot in the ankle by an arrow. He was unable to stand stably and his body fell forward.
An unarmored Tatar rushed up from the opposite side. He aimed his big ax at the guard and chopped off his head. The guard turned around and got out of the way. The short ax hit the ground hard, sending snowflakes flying.
Chen Zheng rushed up quickly and swung the long knife in his hand across the neck of the wrapped Aha.
With a "bang" sound, the big ax fell to the snow, splashing countless snowflakes.
The wrapped Aha first stood there, motionless, then suddenly raised his hands and grabbed his neck, and saw his neck split instantly.
The strong blood spurted out, and the impact caused his head to tilt back. Only some skin and flesh were left connected, and a small pigtail like a mouse tail hung weakly below.
This wrapped Aha was beheaded by Chen Zheng's sword!
Then his knees softened and he knelt down in a daze.
A headless corpse was kneeling upright in the middle of the street. Blood was still pouring out from his neck. The sky was filled with snow, and his behavior was extremely strange.
The eighteen coated Ahabs behind him, who had originally rushed up with him, were just standing there in a daze, at a loss.
"kill"
Chen Zheng raised his sword and roared, and the sergeants on his outpost also shouted and rushed up.
It wasn't until this moment that the frightened group of coated Aha realized what they were doing. They couldn't even remember to drop the burden in their hands. They dragged their weapons one by one and turned around to run away as if their lives were lost.
