"Are you also an officer of the Ming Dynasty? What position is it? Small flag? General flag? Hundred households?" the young school snorted coldly.

But I heard the middle-aged general outside scolding: "You must not be rude when you turn into a dragon!"

Although the young officer looked arrogant, he closed his mouth honestly when he heard the middle-aged general outside scolding him.

The middle-aged general walked up to Li Lao Er. Li Lao Er looked at the middle-aged general and saw that the man had dark skin, a square face with thick eyebrows, and a small eyes, but he was very energetic. His chin was like steel beard, and he was wearing a fourth-grade guerrilla general's uniform. He looked like he knew he was a fierce man.

Li Laoer bowed to the middle-aged general: "Li Laoer, I have met the general!"

"It's Li Lao Er!" The middle-aged general was solemn and bowed deeply to Li Lao Er. "It turns out that this little brother just doesn't want to be a thief outside the border. He is determined to serve the court, and has made many extraordinary achievements to kill the captive chief Manguertai. Now he sees him, he is so young and promising! I am Cao Wenzhao, the only one is the little nephew Cao Bianjiao. Li Yingxiong, who has offended many nephews, and I apologize to Li Yingxiong on behalf of my nephew!"

"It turns out they are General Cao and General Cao!" Li Laoer immediately returned the salute, "General Cao and General Cao are the bravest of the three armies. When you are outside the pass, you often hear that the two generals are invincible and brave, which is really admirable!"

Cao Bianjiao next to him was also shocked: "So you are the great hero who killed countless Jiannu! I, Cao, have no idea about Mount Tai, and offended the hero. I am really ashamed!"

Cao Wenzhao pointed to a completed snowmobile in the workshop and asked, "Is this the snowmobile you built for Commander Sun?"

“That’s right!”

"I was ordered to go to Beijing to serve the king. When I passed by Tongzhou, I heard from the commander Sun that a hero from the frontier killed the captive chiefs and joined the army. After coming to Tongzhou, I made many military achievements and helped the commander build a snow bike camp. The commander also hoped to defeat Jiannu with the chariot camp and lift the siege of the capital, so I led cavalry to guard the chariot camp. But I didn't know what the snow bike was like, so I came to pick up the car and go out of the city to try it."

However, when Cao Wenzhao saw such a wheelless chariot, he couldn't believe how could a wheelless vehicle run? When Li Laoer asked the craftsmen to pull a heavy chariot out of the city, he drove around the snow in person. Cao Wenzhao widened his eyes and shouted: "So fast! He accelerated a little slower, and he ran faster than riding a horse!"

Li Lao Er waved his whip to drive away the horse pulling the cart. Li Hong, who was sitting behind, reloaded ammunition for the turtle dove-legged gun. After the loading, he set up the turtle dove-legged gun, aimed at the target seventy steps away, and pulled the trigger.

A tongue of flame spurted out from the muzzle, and white smoke rose from the chariot, and a small hole immediately appeared in the center of the target seventy steps. At the same time, Li Lao Er let the reins go and let the war horse run by himself, but stood up, took out the step bow, posed an arrow, and shot three arrows in a row with a strong bow of one stone. Three heavy arrows flew out a hundred steps away, and all shot into the center of the target.

When Li Laoer stopped the chariot, Cao Wenzhao walked up and praised him: "This chariot is so fast! It can be compared with the light cavalry of the Mongolian Tartars! Unfortunately, there is only one large gun on the chariot and it cannot be equipped with cannons. If it can be equipped with cannons like a chariot camp, its power will be even more infinite."

Li Laoer replied: "You can replace the big gun with cannons, but Jiannu is now plundering our Ming people. The Cheying camp annihilated a small group of Jiannu, harassed the main force of Jiannu, and wandered around to rescue the people, so there is no need to install cannons for the time being."

Sun Chengzong, who came out of unknown time, smiled and said, "Now the snow bike camp is not in scale. For the time being, as a fast light cavalry, he will harass and attack Jiannu. When the che camp is formed, General Cao will still need to lead the che camp to Beijing to serve the king!"

At present, fifty-eight heavy sleds and one hundred and eight light sleds were built, which was less than half the size of a car battalion, so Li Laoer decided that he could not confront the Jurchen army head-on. So Li Laoer decided to take a light and fast mobile unit composed of pure sleds to rescue the people, harass the Jin army, and find opportunities to defeat a small group of Mongolian cavalry.

"Huang Taiji is extremely cunning and scheming. Our army gathers heavily in Tongzhou. He will definitely not attack and will choose to go around the city. Then we must find ways to harass them, make them restless, and anger them, so that Huang Taiji will not be able to sleep without opening Tongzhou!" Li Laoer offered a plan.

The sled team launched an attack. In addition to the basic firearms, Li Laoer plundered all the rockets in Tongzhou City and put them on sleds to set fire to the Jin army camp at night. Li Laoer also asked the craftsmen to transform the rockets and wrap gauze soaked in tung oil on the head of the rocket. In this way, these inferior rockets with extremely low accuracy were wrapped in gauze and even lower accuracy, but it doesn't matter if the accuracy is low for arson targets as large as the military camp.

Cao Bianjiao also volunteered to fight, demanding that the same chariot camp attack and attack the Later Jin army.

Sun Chengzong agreed, so Li Laoer personally brought his 100 elite soldiers at night without taking them. Cao Bianjiao brought Cao Wenzhao's 100 elite servants. The two of them selected 149 elite soldiers with accurate archery skills and excellent gun shooting from their respective teams, preparing to board 166 sled cars and attack the Jin army camp at night.

Four hundred and ninety-eight warriors stood on the martial arts field, Sun Chengzong stood on the stage, looked around, and opened his voice and shouted loudly: "The army of thieves and slaves are approaching. Our Ming soldiers must work together to fight against the enemy!"

With Sun Chengzong's order, 498 warriors boarded the car.

Cao Bianjiao was like Li Laoer, driving a sled car himself. Cao Bianjiao was extremely powerful and his archery skills were quite powerful. When he sat on the sled car, he could use a step bow to shoot arrows, which was more powerful than riding a bow.

It was December 14, the second year of Chongzhen, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. One hundred and sixteen sled cars left the Tongzhou camp and rushed towards the Jin army camp overnight with the help of the moonlight.

The Later Jin army camped in the area of ​​Muma Fort. There were still many Later Jin whistle cavalry around the Jin army camp at night. Huang Taiji's defense measures were indeed done without any leakage. Not only was the camp arranged in an orderly manner, but the whistle cavalry had to be dispatched everywhere at night to avoid being attacked by the Ming army at night. If Huang Taiji had not been so cautious, he would have gone deep into the Ming territory alone, even if he was attacked by the Ming army, he would have been wiped out.

Of course, Li Laoer would not have thought of eating tens of thousands of Jin troops with a car camp of less than 500 people. All he had to do was harass him. On the one hand, he eliminated the Jin army scouts and whistle cavalry on the periphery, and on the other hand, he set fires so that the Jin army could not fall asleep at night.

The war horse pulled the sled cart and was rushing on the snow. After an hour, it had already run for more than 30 miles. This place was only more than ten miles away from the Jin army camp. Li Laoer asked someone to utter a flag whistle to let the whole camp pay attention and be careful of the Jin army's whistle cavalry.

With the help of moonlight, Li Laoer discovered that there was a group of wandering Jin army whistle cavalry a hundred steps away, with a population of about fifteen or sixteen.

"Brothers, let's go! Kill the Tartars!" Li Laoer gave the order.
