Chapter 24 Battle at Stone Bridge
.Ming Blood Volume 3, Ming Dynasty Resurrected Chapter 24 Battle between Stone Bridge
Dashan has been in the army for more than ten years, and even as a scout for almost ten years, I can understand the sound of horse hooves when I hear it. The sound of horse hooves coming from the opposite side is very neat. Only trained officials will do this. If you come from behind, you will probably be your own people. But from the opposite side, you may be the scouts of the Qing army. Fortunately, judging from the sound of the hooves, the number of people on the other side is not large, and it will not exceed twenty people.
The rest of the people were also shocked. The scouts were all veterans. Of course, they would not know what the sound of horse hooves meant. The group soon gathered around Shidashan. They happened to be divided into two rows and marched to the center of the stone bridge. The whole stone bridge was blocked.
"Please note. Check your own equipment and install good crossbow arrows." Shi Dashan said in a deep voice.
A dagger, a long sword, a crossbow, five grenades, and three crossbow arrows. This is the standard equipment for Ming army scouts. After everyone quickly checked it, they quickly took off the crossbow from the horse's back and started to arrow the crossbow.
The sound of horse hooves on the opposite side paused. Obviously, the sound of horse hooves on Shi Dashan and others was also heard. However, the sound of horse hooves quickly rang again. After a while, a cavalry wearing black armor, shaved on his forehead and a money tail combed behind appeared in the eyes of Shi Dashan and others. Then there was the second and third cavalry... until the fifteenth cavalry.
It was indeed the Qing army. The Ming army was breathing tightly. The other party had five more people than him. And it seemed that these people were not a man of people, at least they were Mongolians. If it were a few years ago, even if the number of people on both sides was the same, everyone would definitely turn around and run away. But now no one has this idea.
Over the years, everyone has been taking full salary from the court. Even if they die, their families will receive a generous pension. If they flee without fighting, then they are still considered a person. Why don’t they know how many people are rushing to do scout jobs? It is because they have the opportunity to catch the enemy. When the opportunity comes, they turn around and run away. Even if they survive, they will die of shame if they are pointed at by others. Of course, crossbows and grenades, which have not been used before, are also the reason for their full confidence.
The Ming army stood in the middle of the bridge without moving. The stone bridge was almost a hundred steps away. The Qing army on the opposite side stopped at about hundred steps. The Ming army occupied the center of the bridge in advance. Although the number of Qing soldiers was five more, they could not play the advantage of split-head attacks. They could only choose to fight head-on. This was undoubtedly a great loss for the Qing army.
However, the Ming army obviously had five fewer people than him. They stood up so arrogantly. If they retreated and spread, they would have to be ashamed.
The Qing army in front of them started to discuss it. Zhang Daniu gently touched Shi Dashan: "What a lord. Let's not fire crossbow arrows first?" At this time, the distance between the two armies was almost within the range of the crossbow arrows. If they were fired, they might be able to shoot and kill several Qing soldiers first.
Shi Dashan compared the distance between the two sides with his fingers and shook his head: "Don't act rashly. Let's just keep the bridge." Crossbow arrows are prone to being difficult to pretend. If you are not sure about Shi Dashan, you don't want to waste it.
Zhang Daniu stopped talking. A Qing army suddenly rushed forward from the queue and stopped. Xiang Mingjun, who was the one who stopped, gave a little finger and scolded: "Minggou, if you have the courage, leave the middle of the bridge. Let's take a real sword and gun."
"Dog Tartars. If you have any, don't rely on people. If you retreat, we will come over." Shi Dashan cursed back and said to Zhang Da: "Good big guy, I'll drag that Tartar. You can use crossbow arrows to fuck him."
"It's an adult." Zhang Daniu quietly lifted his crossbow.
"Minggou. As long as you open the bridge, the five of us can beat you." The Qing army thought that the Ming army was trapped and was overjoyed. He pointed his hand behind. The fourteen Qing army divided into two teams. Ten people slowly retreated. As well as the Qing army who were calling, there were only five people left.
Shi Dashan snorted. Of course, he would not believe two people like the Qing army. Ten people who retreated from the Qing army could reinforce them at any time. Shi Dashan pointed down and cursed: "The slutty has no faith and righteousness. How could the uncle believe you? If you are not afraid of death, please come over."
When they heard the scolding of themselves, all the Qing army was furious. Manchus lived in the deep mountains and forests, and it was cold again. After a year, it was difficult to take a bath. There was a strange smell on his body. This strange smell caused Manchus to often feel inferior when interacting with Han people. He hated others to scold them the smell on his body the most. Now they occupied several provinces in the north. They no longer had to go deep mountains and forests. They just lazy to take a bath and feel inferior. They also heard this disagreeing voice of the Tartars. The Qing army had made up their minds. Even if they chased Bali and Shili, they would kill the Ming army. He turned his head and was about to say something. Zhang Niu realized that the opportunity had come. He fired the crossbow arrows without delay. With a ".", the crossbow arrows left the string and flew towards the Qing army.
"Everyone kills these Mings together..." The Qing army's words turned into screams. A crossbow arrow was inserted into his back. He shook it a few times on the horse. He fell down from the horse. But he was not dead yet. He could only lie on and moan.
"The despicable and shameless Mingdog.
"Minggou deserves to die. She will attack behind her back."
"Kill them."
...
The four Qing soldiers behind cursed, but saw the Ming army's crossbow range. They didn't dare to rush up for a moment. They could only let the Qing army fall and moan. The ten Qing soldiers who retreated didn't know what happened. They just turned their heads and saw the companion in front lying on the top. They were shocked and hurried back.
Asked what had just happened. The ten Qing soldiers behind were also furious. They finally couldn't bear it. The fourteen people plucked out their swords together: "Run!"
The sound of horse hooves rumbling. Fourteen clear-headed men appeared with fierce looks. They jumped their horses and rushed towards the bridge. Although there were only more than ten horses, their momentum was not weak at all. They gave people the feeling of thousands of troops.
"Lulu." The Ming army's war horses sniffled uneasyly, stepped on their hooves, and wanted to gallop. They were just tied to the reins of the master. If they were fighting in an empty and wide field, the still cavalry was like wooden pillars. There was only one dead end to the charge of the enemy. However, the bridge restricted the cavalry's performance. Whether the speed was not important. Shi Dashan and others did not have to worry about the speed of the Qing army rushing over.
"shoot!"
Swhoosh!" The Qing army that was rushing towards each other flew away. The two Qing army in front of us saw the crossbow arrows flying, and a sneer appeared on their faces. The long sword in their hands was flying. In the "crank" sound, three crossbow arrows were knocked down. The fourth crossbow arrow fell to the empty place. The remaining crossbow arrows finally did not dodge. The crossbow arrows were crossbow arrows. The huge momentum made the Qing army balance and fell from the horses. Then they were stepped on by the hooves behind them. They screamed a few times and then disappeared.
After firing crossbow arrows, the five people in front threw the crossbow and stretched out their hands back. The five crossbow bows in the back were handed over. The five people aimed at the front again. At this time, the distance between the two armies was much closer. They were less than fifty steps. The two Qing soldiers in front were about to step onto the stone bridge.
"Chain the horse!"
Swhoo!" Five crossbow arrows flew forward together. This time the crossbow arrows flew much faster. The Qing army in front wanted to block with a knife. They suddenly found that the crossbow arrows were not flying towards them. Instead, they flew towards their mounts. They were in a hurry. One of them barely opened a crossbow arrow. Only the whistle sounded by their war horses. The two war horses in front fell down together. The Qing army immediately hit the stone bridge with a head. The brain burst out. They could not die anymore. The other one flew over the bridge railing. With a loud "bang." It fell into the water and splashed countless waves.
The two horses in front fell down. The Qing army behind was in a hurry and they all tied the reins. The charge just now collapsed.
Ten to fifteen turned into ten to eleven. The Qing army was a little confused. They all looked horrified. If it weren't for the time being to get on the crossbow arrow, Shi Dashan and others could at least shoot a few more people.
"Kill!" The four people died, but did not make the Qing army retreat. Instead, they aroused their ferocity. The sound of hooves rang again. The dust from the bridge was shaken down.
All the Ming army stood between the bridge and remained motionless, as if they were looking at the Qing army rushing over. The Qing army finally showed a smile on their faces. These Ming army seemed to be frightened by wood. They were just waiting for them to go up and cut off their heads one by one.
"Grenade."
As soon as Shi Dashan's speech fell, the Ming army pulled out a grenade from his waist. After pulling the ring, he saw only the sound of Shi Dashan shouting: "Stop."
All ten black dots fell towards the Qing army that rushed upwards |. The Qing army was no longer ignorant as before. They thought it was an iron lump that smashed people. A Qing army screamed: "Thunder in the palm." They desperately used their swords to block the falling hand. The Qing army forced five thunders to hit the bridge with their eyesight.
"Boom." The bridge exploded on the bridge. However, there were only five grenades. It was enough for the Qing army to suffer. Seven Qings fell on the spot. Four of them were motionless. The other three moaned loudly. The Qing army was also injured. Their clothes were covered with blood. Only in the end, the two were unscathed. The explosions scared their mounts. The two Qing army horses turned their heads and ran away desperately. The injured two war horses jumped around in the original. The two Qing soldiers' faces were white. I don't know if it was because of blood loss or excessive force.
"Send again."
Ten more grenades threw them over and loudly passed. Whether it was the three Qing soldiers who were moaning on the horse or the two of them on the horse, they were already motionless. The other two Qing soldiers ran away with only two black dots.
"Bah. It's cheaper for these two dogs." A Ming army scout looked at the two black dots that ran away. Then he was overjoyed. Except for one Tartar falling into the river, the heads of the twelve Tartars here are enough for each of them to remember a great merit.
