Chapter 383 Wuzhen Chaoha Soldiers (2)

Li Guodong asked: "How many Jiannu scouts are there?"

The secret whistle replied: "The closest ones are more than 30 slave cavalry, there are more than 30 slave cavalry five miles away on the east side, and there are more than 30 slave cavalry three miles away on the west side, with a total of three teams, each with ten real slaves and more than 20 Korchin Tatars."

Li Guodong sneered: "Our army has 100, and its troops are concentrated; more than 90 slave cavalry and its troops are dispersed. What else can I say? Just beat him up!"

Anyway, the enemy has three teams of scouts and whistle cavalry. Judging from the posture, they want to block the battlefield to death and prevent the opponent from sending military information. If an ordinary Ming army does not stop the whistle cavalry at night and meets three scattered Qing army scouts and scattered, let alone take the initiative to fight, they can escape the pursuit of the Qing army. Only Li Guodong trained the Ye Wu stop the whistle cavalry is the most elite scout unit today. Only such an army dares to take the initiative to attack the Qing army scouts.

Even such an elite Ye Wubiao's whistleblower cavalry, after several years of war career, many brothers were killed and injured. Almost every Ye Wubiao's whistleblower had good brothers and comrades who died on the battlefield. In some groups, only one or two survived in a group of ten people, and the rest of the brothers were sacrificed.

At this time, Li Guodong and others were dressed as Mongolian herdsmen, wearing a leather hat on their heads and a sheepskin coat or a ragged cotton coat. However, there was a six-petal pointed red tassel helmet hidden in the leather hat. The sheepskin coat or ragged cotton coat contained iron cotton armor, and there was also a layer of chain mail. In addition to the melee weapons that everyone could easily fight, there were also powerful crossbows, strong bows, and crossbow machines. Although they were short, they were extremely powerful. The crossbow arrows fired were more than one or two, which could break the Qing army's double armor within twenty steps. In addition, according to personal preference, they were equipped with throwing weapons such as meteor hammers, iron bones, flying axes, and javelins.

It is obvious that the task of the three Qing army scout cavalry is to protect the Wuzhenchaoha camp and prevent anyone from sneaking into the firearms in their marching. Therefore, it is only one of the things to annihilate the Qing army scout cavalry. The most important thing is to prevent the Qing army scout cavalry from sending signals to remind the Wuzhenchaoha camp to attract attention.

Once the Qing army's Wu Zhenchao Ha soldiers were ready and Li Guodong's heavy cavalry wanted to launch another attack, the losses would be great.

Li Guodong said to the secret whistle: "Iron Hammer, go and explore again. Jiannu's scout whistle and cavalry will immediately report if you find it and rest on the spot."

"No!" The secret sentry nicknamed Tie Hammer retreated.

What Hammer is best at is disguise and tracking. His camouflage skills are so good that enemies outside of five steps cannot find him. When he tracks an enemy army, he can not only keep an eye on the enemy, but also cover up his whereabouts well. Instead of riding a horse, he goes out on a snowboard. He has a snowboard under his feet, holding an iron rod in both hands, and can walk like the wind on the snow, even the cavalry will find it difficult for him to catch up with him.

Half an hour later, the hammer came back and reported to Li Guodong: "Lord, more than 30 Jiannu people on the east side are resting on a leeward hillside. We can go and attack them."

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Guodong raised his hand, "Iron Hammer, you are leading the way."

The hammer also rides a war horse. Although the skiing speed is faster than riding a horse, it is impossible to use long-range weapons when the snowboard is maneuvering. The two iron rods of the hammer are also weapons. When skiing, you can kill enemies at close range, but you cannot use bows or throw weapons. Moreover, riding a horse can save energy, so that you can have the strength to kill enemies in a while.

The Qing army scouts rode on a hillside to rest on the leeward side. Ten Eight Banners soldiers and twenty Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers formed three circles, and a bonfire was lit in the middle. The Qing soldiers surrounded the bonfire and roasted the fire to keep warm. A hole was cut on the ice layer on the riverside of a small river beside them. Someone took out the fish from the ice cave and took the fish back to the bonfire to grill the fish. After a while, the smell of grilled fish came from the air.

A Zhuangda took out the small cloth bag on his body, opened it carefully, grabbed a small handful of chili powder from it, and sprinkled it on the grilled fish.

"With this good thing, grilled fish tastes much more delicious." said Zhuangda.

This pack of pepper powder for barbecue contains not only chili powder, but also various spices such as ginger powder, green onion powder, star anise powder, cinnamon powder, etc. It is special pepper powder for barbecue prepared by Dadewang Business. Some goods are sold to Ning Jinmingjun. Some officers in the Ming army did business with the Qing army, and these goods flowed into Liaodong. However, this kind of pepper powder for barbecue is very expensive. The general Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers cannot afford it. Those who can have money to buy this thing have no idea how much blood from the Han people are stained on their hands and how much silver they have to steal to provide them with food and drink.

Several Eight Banners soldiers took a grilled fish, grabbed it in their hands and ate it happily, and praised it continuously: "It smells so good! With this thing, whether it is grilled fish or grilled lamb, it is much more delicious."

On the other hand, the Korqin Mongols don’t like fish, they are roasting lamb.

"Master, do you still have chili powder?" A Korqin man walked up and asked.

"Go and go!" The Zhuangda waved his hand impatiently, "It's gone!"

The Korqin people clearly saw that there was a lot of chili powder in the guy's small cloth bag, but they were so stingy that they refused to take it out, but they didn't dare to say anything. He knew that the thing was valuable, and it was normal for the master to refuse to reward it to the slave.

The Qing army's whistle cavalry did not notice at all, and the danger was approaching them.

Li Guodong, with a hundred whistle-receiving cavalry at night, quietly approached the Qing army whistle-receiving cavalry sitting by the river valley. This place belongs to the northern grassland. Apart from the hills with low slopes, there is no tree everywhere. Because it is winter, there is no grass, only a white snow field. The Qing soldiers sat in circles, and it is really not easy to get close to them quietly and not be discovered.

Fortunately, at night, when Li Guodong and his friends were still fifty steps away from the Qing soldiers, the Qing soldiers had not yet discovered it. It was not too easy to eliminate these 30 Qing soldiers with one hundred people, and twenty of them were not real slaves, but Korqin people with very poor combat effectiveness. But the problem is that the Qing soldiers cannot send alarm signals, this is the key.

Li Guodong's 100 people were divided into two teams, and Li Guodong personally led a team of people to ride horses and wait on the periphery to hunt and kill fish that had missed the net; the other team, led by He Xing, tiptoed to the Qing army's scouts and whistle.

But Tie Hammer was unique and took three Ye Busuo's secret whistle to act alone. After the three of them dismounted, they climbed up to the top of the slope behind the Qing army scout whistle, put on a snowboard, took out a strong bow in their hands, and then slid down the hillside. When they were sliding to the hillside, the three of them set their bows and arrows.

"Swoosh swish swish swish" three sharp arrows shot into the Qing army crowd with the help of the speed of rushing down the hillside.

At the same time, He Xing and his fifty men who were attacking on foot also shot sharp arrows, with the sound of bowstrings everywhere. The arrows shot by strong bows and crossbows woven into an airtight net in the air, covering the heads of the Qing soldiers. The most unlucky thing was when the Korqin people who were almost not wearing armor were shot, and each heavy arrow shot into the Mongolians was arrowed to the flesh. Screams came one after another, and more than 20 Korqin Mongolians were all shot into hedgehogs in a flash.

The Manchu Eight Banners soldiers wearing thick armor were slightly better. The thick armor helped them block the arrows, and only a few unlucky guys were shot over. Fortunately, it was winter, and they did not remove their armor while resting, so they temporarily saved their lives, but it was only temporarily, because Ye Bushou and others rushed to them soon.
