Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 20
It was completely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers when I stretched out my hands. There was a lot of light snow, like cotton wool.

Snow is a good thing.For farmers, a heavy snow means a good harvest; for literati, it means inspiration;Not to mention the modern age where Korean dramas are rampant, how romantic it is for a couple to cuddle together eating grilled chicken nuggets and drinking beer during the snowy season!In short, everyone likes snow very much.

However, the fleeing common people don't like it, not at all.The wind has stopped, but the snow is falling harder and harder, and the trees are cracking and cracking. Even if you hide at home, you can't bear this horrible weather, let alone in the wild!Of these two or three hundred people, I don't know how many people can survive this night and reach the county seat!

But some people think that the situation of the villagers in Xiaojiazhuang is not miserable enough, so they want to give them a gift, such as... the Houjin Ranger that was played by Yang Menglong and the others during the day.

Just as Qi Hu expected, in the middle of the night, these jackals appeared again lingeringly, and they didn't go far at all.They were missing one person, and they went to report to Niu Luerzhen.Four post-golden warriors were killed, and there might be a Ming army ambushing in this field, trying to ambush them. This is not a trivial matter, and there is nothing wrong with treating it with caution.There is another important reason why Ertai is so cautious: he recognized that one of the heads hung on the horse's neck was Niu Luerzhen's precious son Taketan!Erzhen's precious son was actually beheaded by Ming Gou, and his head was hung on the horse's neck to show off!He was startled and angry at the time. It is not difficult to imagine how angry Niu Lu Ezhen would be when he heard the bad news. If he couldn't kill all these Ming dogs, they would definitely be whipped by Ezhen with a whip Incomplete!
Speaking of field battles, the Eight Banners of Manchuria at this time is probably the most powerful field army in East Asia. Angry horses and strong bows come and go like the wind, which is chilling. The Ming army often has three to five times the strength of the opponent, but it is beaten to death. Lose and lose.However, the soldiers of the Eight Banners don't have the indestructible body after all. If the opponent shoots cold arrows in the woods and hits the black stick, they will feel a little bit numb.For the sake of prudence, and at the same time, in order to gain military merits, so as not to be used as a punching bag by Mr. Erzhen, Ertai led his men into three groups, quietly walked into the forest, and first checked the strength of the Ming army. Say it clearly.Of course, if the Ming army is negligent, they don't mind giving the Ming army a surprise.Based on their experience, the morale of the Ming army has always been low. As long as they infiltrate their camp and create chaos, the Ming army will not be defeated by itself. The next step is nothing more than a one-sided massacre.

His plan couldn't be said to be unwise, but it was completely wrong.There was no Ming army in the forest at all, only a group of fleeing farmers; there were no hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses as they imagined, only about forty young men with extremely poor equipment!As for morale... Sorry, they don't know what it is, they have no morale, what they have is just the determination to defend their family with all their might!
The road that came in from the east had already penetrated into the middle of the forest.These guys didn't ride horses, it was pitch black, there were trees everywhere, the horses couldn't speed up at all, and riding horses was cumbersome.However, the Houjin warriors mounted cavalry and dismounted as infantry. Without horses, they could still defeat the Ming army.I saw them with knives in their mouths, strong bows in their hands, and pairs of eyes hidden in the dark night were extremely sharp, like a group of wolves approaching their prey quietly, walking quietly!

Really worthy of being a veteran of many battles.

Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that the Ming army will not know how these post-gold soldiers got in until they die. Unfortunately, the opponents they encounter now cannot be understood by common sense.As soon as they entered the forest, they were already being watched. Yang Menglong hid behind the big tree, stared at them with a strong crossbow scope, and whispered to Xu Gong who was hiding next to him: "There are five in total. They didn't ride horses. It's a pity we It took a lot of effort to set up the tripping rope."

Xu Gong looked over there in disbelief, but saw nothing.He said dissatisfiedly: "Where is there anyone? There are no ghosts!"

Yang Menglong chuckled: "If I shoot an arrow, you will immediately know if there is anyone."

Xu Gong said: "You shoot, you shoot! I think you think you have too much money, and use such a sophisticated crossbow to shoot the air!"

Yang Menglong didn't speak, and the angle of the strong crossbow was fine-tuned with the movement of Houjin soldiers. In the scope, every figure was clearly visible.Those poor kids thought they were very careful and concealed, but they never dreamed that a guy's crossbow was equipped with a military-grade white light sight worth tens of thousands, and they were spotted 200 meters away !They were really unlucky to meet such a guy who was cheating. Fortunately, the battery of this white light sight was running out of power, so they just endured it.Locking on the target, Yang Menglong took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the air in the lung lobes, and turned on the engine!

Deng!
The heart-shattering metal trill sounded like thunder in the darkness, and the crossbow arrows shot out violently, and within half a second the golden soldier's body blocked the way.The incomparably sharp three-edged arrowhead would not care about a layer of armor. It pierced through the armor with a puff, pierced through the chest, and pierced the back, bringing out two blood lines.The Houjin soldier was knocked back several steps by the ferocious force of the crossbow, raised his hands, threw the hatchet in his hand far away, and fell down with a bang.However, this soldier was really tough, and he just held back and didn't say a word.The other four soldiers who moved with him were taken aback, and quickly hid behind the big tree, and a sharp arrow hit the bowstring.The Ming army was able to hit the target with an arrow in the darkness. This absolutely unexpected scene shocked them. Based on their experience, it is not difficult to judge that the arrow was shot from a hundred paces away. Damn it, Ming When did the army have such a powerful marksman!
Yang Menglong made a hand gesture to Xu Gong: One was done!
Xu Gong ventured out his head to look around, but he still couldn't see anything.

Yang Menglong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and quickly moved to the west, wound up at the fastest speed, and replaced an arrow.Soon, he used the white light sight to find the road coming from the west. There was nothing to say, so he buckled the camera, thump!The second crossbow roared out, and with a puff, it shot through the head of the one who was walking in front.This one was not as tough as the one just now, let out a suppressed scream, fell to the ground, and the rest of them hurriedly hid, not daring to go any further.Yang Menglong said in a low voice: "Boys, it's easy to block open spears, but hard to defend against hidden arrows!" He ran to the south again, and the third arrow was fired.

There was an accident this time, before he could aim at the target, whoosh!A heavy armor-piercing arrow came through the air, aiming at his head!Yang Menglong shrank his head instinctively, and with a snort, the arrow brushed past the edge of his helmet, burst out a stream of sparks, changed its direction slightly, flew a few meters away, and then nailed deeply into the tree with a sound, the arrow shaft still Buzzing and trembling!
Someone discovered his sniper attack, and decisively shot him with an arrow!
No need to guess, the arrow must have been shot by the white armored soldier, and it almost killed him.It seems that Mr. Qi didn't fool him. The white armored soldiers are indeed the elite of the elite of the Houjin Eight Banners Army. Their powerful combat effectiveness can be seen from this arrow!Yang Menglong gritted his teeth, poked his head out, set up his crossbow, just in time to see several post-gold soldiers rushing towards us like cheetahs, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air was almost in a line, and several rockets flew over and nailed on the tree. The flames were stretched by the cold, and lit up a small area.Yang Menglong secretly complained, if I let you see clearly, I will still be playing a fart!But the Houjin soldiers didn't care whether he was complaining or complaining about injustice. The other two followed the gourd, and the rockets were shot one after another. The nails were nailed to the tree and flickered like will-o'-the-wisps. What's worse was that some of them were nailed to the ground. , ignited the dead branches that fell on the ground, and several piles of fire were ignited immediately!This is good, the enemy is clear and we are dark, and the enemy is dark and we are clear, and low exclamations suddenly sounded from every corner!

Yang Menglong bit his lip and aimed at the white armored soldier who was rushing forward.Now the distance between the two sides is fifty steps. At this distance, not to mention the ancient iron armor, even the modern police body armor can't stop his arrow.Shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves first and capture the king first. If this white-armored soldier is brought down, the others will be much easier to deal with.He fired, whoosh!The third crossbow bolt burst out!

His judgment was correct. Taking down this white-armored soldier would cause a heavy blow to the morale of the Houjin soldiers, which would make them much easier to deal with. Unfortunately, this white-armored soldier was not that easy to deal with.The sixth sense he honed on the battlefield was extremely keen, and just before Yang Menglong fired, he instinctively sensed the danger and dodged to the side!The crossbow arrow passed by, pierced into the lung of the soldier behind him with a puff, and died immediately.Now it's all right, one of the three teams was shot dead, and the balance is balanced.After putting this down, Yang Menglong stuffed the crossbow into a pile of dead leaves, opened his throat and shouted: "Fellow fellows, the slaves are here! Get up and greet them!!!" This guy must have practiced as a lion. Roar, roaring out in one voice, that is earth-shattering!
Build slaves?

Parents and folks?
Hou Jindubing, who could understand Chinese, was stunned for a moment, what is this all about?They understand what Jiannu means, so let's scold them, but what kind of code is this folks?I don't know, anyway, there will never be a unit called "fathers, old folks".

Soon, they understood what "fathers and folks" meant: by the light of the fire, they saw a large group of ragged peasants rushing towards them wielding blunt knives, sticks, hoes, axes and even stones!
Ertai's mind was completely messed up, and after a long time, it was this group of farmers who killed the four of Ta Ketan and the others, and hid in the woods trying to ambush them?What the hell, even your army avoided us when they saw us, how dare a group of you farmers run out to fight us?You have kind!It’s really unbearable for my uncle, even my aunt can’t bear it anymore, write your and my names upside down if you are immortal!He shot another arrow, and without looking to see if he hit it, he threw the bow on the ground, raised his epee and pointed it forward, roaring: "Kill! Not one left!!!"

The Houjin soldiers, who believed that their personal dignity had not been recognized, looked at the rushing farmers, all of whom were so angry that they slammed into them with knives and axes without saying a word, and a tragic fight began.
