On the land as flat as a mirror, a solitary small village was surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry. It was like a small boat in the stormy waves, unable to escape the danger of being submerged.
The ground shook, the village shook, and the people inside screamed in terror and began to run in all directions.
The Qing cavalry rushed in with cruel laughter of success.
When they saw a woman running hurriedly in front of them, the Qing cavalry was overjoyed and immediately rushed towards her.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, the running woman turned around and got into the middle of the two houses.
The cavalry didn't care, slowed down their horses, and followed.
But who knows, after turning around a few times, the woman disappeared.
Not only that, almost in the blink of an eye, apart from the galloping horses and the shouts of the Qing army, the entire village became eerily quiet.
"What's going on? Why hasn't anyone been caught?"
A Qing army general came in and saw that everyone was empty-handed and couldn't help but wonder.
Those Qing soldiers were even more depressed.
"Lord Jia La, where did those Han people go?"
The Qing generals were furious.
"This is such a small village, where can you run to? Search it for me."
Qing soldiers jumped off their horses, kicked in doors and windows, and searched from house to house.
But their efforts were doomed to be in vain. They searched the entire village and still couldn't find anyone.
On the other hand, because every household fled in a hurry, many valuable things were left behind. Cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, chickens, ducks, dogs and geese, as long as they are captured, these Qing troops will have a feast.
However, if no one was arrested, how could the Qing army dare to care about others?
The Qing army general stared with his eyes, wanting to see through the entire village.
"There must be a secret passage here. Keep searching and find everyone."
The village has long been surrounded by a large army, and it is absolutely impossible to escape from the ground. After thinking about it, I can only escape through the tunnel.
Under his command, the soldiers of the Qing army began to check everywhere.
But it is obvious that the tunnels in this village are very secretive and may not be discovered for a while.
The unlucky start made the Qing generals even more angry, and they almost wanted to kill them.
A gust of east wind blew, and something fell from the air, which happened to fall on the face of the Qing general.
He took it off and took a look, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It was a small strip of cloth, and it was spotless.
"Over there! Follow me!"
The general of the Qing army spurred his horse's head and ran out first.
The rest of the cavalry followed, rushing out of the village and chasing further east.
After climbing over a low hillside, the Qing general was overjoyed.
Five miles ahead, I saw a large group of civilians fleeing for their lives. They must be people from that village.
They originally used the tunnel to avoid the Qing army, but unexpectedly, someone's clothes were torn and the fabric was blown back by the wind, and they were discovered by the Qing generals.
A good plan failed, and the Qing army had long been suffocating.
Now that the person was finally discovered, all the cavalry rushed forward without the need for the general to give orders.
But five or six miles away, for the cavalry, it was just a matter of charging.
Those people may be in doom.
The fleeing people also saw the Qing army chasing after them.
Everyone felt desperate, but they didn't dare to stop.
Run hard, run as hard as you can, even if there is only a chance of failure.
The earth shook more violently, and the dust from the east was filled with dust. These people were quickly wrapped up, and then rolled into the chasing Qing army.
The face of the Qing general who was still in joy suddenly froze, and he stared blankly to the east, alarm bells ringing in his heart.
"Blow the trumpet to meet the enemy."
The Qing army has very rich combat experience.
As the desolate horn sound resounded throughout the land, the cavalry who were originally scattered in pursuit immediately gave up their target and quickly returned to the queue.
At the end of the earth in the far east, a black line rolled over.
As the distance gets closer and closer, the bright red flag adds a different kind of brilliance to this bleak winter day.
When the common people who couldn't run away saw the oncoming army, they cried out like they were being reborn and rushed forward to meet them.
The people rushing from the east were all cavalry.
The neat and eye-catching military uniforms on their bodies showed their identities.
Seeing the running people, the cavalry moved to both sides and allowed the people to pass through. Then the formation closed again, like the Great Wall, preventing any enemy from passing through to harm innocent people.
The Qing army had already organized their formation, and they were all frightened when they looked at the huge number of enemies on the opposite side.
This is a raid.
did not succeed.
He was also blocked by the enemy.
This is not a good sign.
The Qing generals looked around and already had plans to retreat.
However, the enemy on the opposite side did not want to let them go easily.
At the sharp whistle, the cavalry on the opposite side began to move.
Divided into teams and teams, formed several arrows, and began to roll towards the Qing army.
The Qing generals could clearly see the opponent's move.
"Is there no artillery on the other side?"
"My lord, there are all cavalry on the other side. Not only are there no artillery, there are no muskets either."
The Qing general smiled cruelly.
"Do these Han Chinese want to defeat us on horseback without relying on muskets and artillery?"
All the Qing troops laughed wantonly.
What is the use of the Han army without muskets and artillery?
Han cavalry?
Can the Han people ride horses?
Don't fall off the horse before you start.
"Eating this group of cavalry will bring out the evil in your heart."
Another Qing general was very reckless and rushed out with his Niu Lu without even saying hello.
Looking at the opponent's majestic back like a mountain or a tower, the general was furious.
"You bastard, I will definitely ask the prince to punish you when you go back."
But the opponent had already rushed out. In order to avoid any accident, the Qing army general had no choice but to follow suit.
On the empty and desolate land, the two cavalrymen began to accelerate at the same time, heading straight towards each other.
Both sides were about equal in number, and both were thoroughly armed.
Neither side had firearms, and all they could rely on were spears, sabers, and bows and arrows.
The only thing that can be believed is the war horse under his crotch.
The Qing army's horse fighting ability is truly unparalleled in the world. After running at full speed, their formation changed several times, and they seemed to have the potential to surround the opponent.
Many Qing soldiers had already drawn their bows and nocked arrows, waiting to get closer to show off their riding and shooting skills.
The Xia army on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and with the sharp whistle, all the formations turned to the right in order.
The movements were so fast that I couldn't tell the difference.
Just this move made the Qing army commander startled.
Because even the Qing army might not be able to do this.
When the Xia Army cavalry completed their turn, they also drew their bows and arrows.
For immediate combat and long-range strikes, bows and arrows are definitely better than muskets in this era.
Seeing the Xia army change their formation, the Qing army also changed their formation.
The formations of both sides were running at extremely high speeds, dividing to both sides like warships on the sea, and at the same time turned their sides towards the opponent.
The Qing army's horn and the Xia army's whistle sounded almost simultaneously.
The bows and arrows on both sides were loosened at the same time.
In an instant, countless arrows flew into the air, densely packed like thick dark clouds, even covering the sky.
The arrow went like lightning and the force was like thunder, covering both sides.
