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

Chapter 440

Whoosh!
A spiked arrow came through the air and brushed against Huang Yulang's cheek. The unique coldness of the arrow penetrated into the pores and penetrated into the bone marrow, causing Huang Yulang's body to tremble slightly.

———Although his dozen or so brothers tried their best to hold back the Golden Whistle Knight, there were still several Golden Whistle Knights who circled the gentle slope of the battle group and chased after them.The eyes of these animals that grew up on the battlefield were very poisonous. They seemed to recognize Huang Yulang as the leader of this sentry cavalry at a glance.

Huang Yulang didn't look back, just from the sound of hooves, he could tell that there were eight Golden Whistle riders chasing him, and he couldn't defeat them even if he had three heads and six arms.He kicked the horse's belly with spurs, and the horse's belly was dripping with blood. The painful horse became very angry, and spread all four hooves towards the direction of Lushun. I couldn't catch up at the moment.

However, after all, the horse of the Golden Whistle Rider had the upper hand in terms of physical strength, and as time passed, the distance between the two gradually narrowed.A character who is likely to be a white armor soldier let out a low growl in a cold and oppressive voice: "Han dog, stop!" Huang Yulang was just about to say whoever stops is your son, a thick and long sharp The arrow whizzed past with a strong wind, plowing a blood groove on the horse. The horse trembled in pain and hissed sadly.Huang Yulang knew in his heart that something was wrong, he whistled suddenly, and the horse that had been accompanying him obediently leaned over, he jumped with his toes on the stirrup, and jumped onto the horse's back, his movements were extremely dexterous.Just after finishing this series of actions, the cold, oppressive voice came again: "Good skill!" Immediately after that, there was an ear-piercing whistling sound, and the exhausted war horse shot out a slap from the buttocks. The bloodline let out a mournful hiss, and the person stood up.Before it finished, the moment it stood up, several arrows were aimed at it again, it shook and fell down.

Huang Yulang bit his lip hard, really wanted to turn his horse's head and fight with these golden whistle riders!The cavalry's feelings for war horses are not something ordinary people can understand. When fighting, people and horses charge forward together. When people are with horses, people die and horses die. When not fighting, they would rather wrong their stomachs and let their beloved war horses eat better. It seems ridiculous to others, but they take it for granted.If the horse dies, the cavalry will usually bury it. They can't do such a bastard thing as eating horse meat. It's not that they don't eat horse meat, but they would rather starve to death than eat their own horses. For them, the horse is dead, and they are half dead.War horses also have very deep feelings for people. More than one general had the experience of being bitten by a war horse and dragged out of the pile of dead people. , Those cavalrymen secretly untied them and let them run fast, but they didn't run, even if they were driven away, they would run back and live and die with their masters.This war horse has been with Huang Yulang for six years, and he is closer than a brother. Seeing its tragic death, how could Huang Yulang not be angry!But now is not the time to get angry, he has more important things to do than avenge the war horse, so he can't turn back, he can only run!

After running for several miles, two sharp arrows shot towards him—the two rear golden sentry riders actually went around in front of him, damn it, the horsepower is really good!Huang Yulang was lucky to avoid the two arrows, but his way was also cut off, making it difficult for him to fly.The guy who might be the white armor soldier called: "Catch him alive!" Probably Huang Yulang's skill made him realize that this person is not simple, and he might be able to get some more precious information from him, so he ordered to catch him alive.Fortunately, otherwise Huang Yulang would have been shot to death.

Huang Yulang can understand Manchu... as a sentry rider, he has dealt with Houjin for many years, and he can't even understand Manchu.He stared at the two figures with bows and arrows in front of him, showing a sinister smile, and picked up the horse spear that had been hanging on the horse's back.He has been practicing Hebei spears since he was a child, and his marksmanship is superb. He has stabbed the golden sentry riders who were chasing him more than once with a big spear, and then returned to Lushun with their heads and information to claim credit for Huanglong. Two months ago in Shandong Another batch of ordnance was sent, including more than a dozen horse lances, and Huang Long carefully selected one for him.This thing is [-] meters long and weighs [-] catties and [-] taels. It has an excellent sense of balance and is easy to use on horseback. Huang Yulang likes it very much.Well, I admit that you are strong and fast, and I can't beat you, but it is not so easy to capture Lao Tzu as a prisoner!In desperation, the chief sentry rider clamped the pole under his ribs and let out a beast-like roar at the moon. Regardless of the two riding bows pointed at him in front of him, he charged straight forward on his horse. The cold shimmer reflected from the bottom, pointed steadily at the sentinel on the left, as stable as a compass!

An astonishing scene appeared: Facing this lunatic who rammed straight towards him as if he was tired of work, the two rear Golden Whistle Riders panicked beyond all reason, even the one who had been giving Huang Yulang a strange feeling The guy with a strong sense of oppression also shouted out of composure: "Get away! Get away!"

hide from your sister!
The distance between the two sides is only tens of meters, and they are facing each other head-on. The collision only takes a few seconds, so how can they hide!
The two golden sentinel riders instinctively threw away their bows and drew out their sabers... After they finished this series of actions, Huang Yulang also rushed in front of them, pointing at the chest of the sentinel on the left all the time. , that guy howled and swung his knife at Huang Yulang, the knife was sharp, but unfortunately there were two or three meters away, no matter how good the knife was, it was useless.Leng Feng pierced through the cotton armor, cut open the muscle, split the bone, pierced the internal organs, and a bloody section leaked from the spine. Pull out, bring out a stream of dirty blood.Almost at the same time, a throwing spear brushed against Huang Yulang's left cheek with a strong wind, the spear buzzed and twisted like a poisonous snake, and hit his mouth, causing severe pain to his teeth, one of them must have been shattered up.Huang Yulang couldn't care less, swung the bloody horse in a semicircle, and slammed heavily on the ribs of the golden whistle rider who passed him, making a crisp sound of bone breaking.The guy let out a muffled grunt, threw away his saber and lied on the horse's back, twitching slightly, blood spouted from the nostrils and the corners of his mouth, this broke three of his ribs, and the sharp broken bones pierced into his internal organs, killing him.

After getting rid of these two obstacles, Huang Yulang turned his horse and rushed to the left.Another throwing spear flew over. He used his horse's spear to push it back based on his feeling. It pushed it away, but it was so shocked that the tiger's mouth went numb. Just from the force of the throw, he could tell that he was definitely not that person. The opponent who is a white-armored soldier should run away quickly.

A big river blocked the way, and the rushing water jumped up and down under the moonlight.The Golden Whistle Rider who was chasing after him subconsciously slowed down... Otherwise, they would have fallen into the river like shells.Huang Yulang was just the opposite, not only didn't slow down, but also increased the horse's speed sharply, the horse jumped up, soared into the air, and fell into the river with a bang, splashing Lao Gao's water.He laughed wildly: "Want to catch Lao Tzu? Go back and practice for a few more years!" He coughed violently as he choked his nose with a mouthful of river water. Like a dead frog, he swam to the other side with difficulty.

Hou Jinshao rode by the river and reined in his horse, watching the little figure struggling in the icy river with indifference.A sentry rider with red eyes opened his bow and set an arrow. He drew his hard bow to [-]% full and aimed towards the river, but a tiger gun came over and pressed his bow down.He turned his head in astonishment, and called: "Xielu, you..."

The one who stopped him from letting go of the battle was the white armored soldier who chased Huang Yulang out of breath and almost died in his hands several times, the leader of this team of sentry cavalry.The white-armored soldier looked indifferent, looked at the figure who had swam to the center of the river, and said in a slightly appreciative tone: "A good man... a good man like this should fight face to face and take off his head. Shooting arrows behind your back will make people look down on you."

The sentry cavalry had no choice but to put down his hard bow, but he was still a little unwilling: "Let him go like this? If we let him escape, our army will be exposed. If Minggou is prepared, this battle will not be easy!"

Xie Lu sneered: "So what if they are prepared? They have never been our opponents, never!"

Huang Yulang didn't know that someone let him go by accident, he was shivering from the cold in the river... Imagine for yourself what it would be like to jump into the river in the middle of the night and soak for half an hour.When he finally climbed to the shore, his lips were black with cold, and he had lost all his bow, arrow, saber, dry food bag and so on, except for the horse spear, which he held tightly to, and was reluctant to let go even after it was almost washed away by the river several times.The war horse was also shivering from the cold, which is really pitiful.He gently stroked the mane of the war horse, and said, "Old man, I have to work hard for you, otherwise we will all die here." Sometimes it was jogging at small steps, and then gradually speeding up, running faster and faster... The rapid sound of horseshoes echoed in the wilderness, and it rang all night...

The east is showing a white belly, and the sun is slowly rising from behind the horizon.Facing the rising sun, the defenders of a military stronghold at the front of the Jinzhou defense line saw a blood-stained sentry cavalry galloping towards them on a horse that was also covered in wounds.The war horse was foaming from its mouth and nose, and its oil was exhausted.They hurriedly opened the gate of the village and let the sentinel come in.The sentinel rushed to the door, and the horse suddenly hissed sadly, and fell to the ground, knocking the knight on the horse, causing his head to bleed.Before he passed out, the knight had a hoarse voice, and shouted at the dumbfounded defenders, "Quickly, light the beacon fire! The army of founding slaves is coming, there are 3 to [-] people..."

This terrible news caused a commotion in the military camp, and the general manager who was in charge of all affairs in the entire military camp yelled: "Hurry up and take the man down for treatment! You, hurry up and light the beacon fire! You, hurry up and ride to Lushun to inform Huang Shuai, Said that Jiannu is coming! Others blocked the gate of the village and brought all the Leimu ash bottles over, hurry up!"

Soon, the beacon fire of this military camp was lit, and a thick smoke shot straight into the sky, which could be seen from twenty or thirty miles away.

Then, another beacon in the military village was lit.After seeing the signal, a series of military villages and towers lit their beacons, and the smoke pillars spread from Jinzhou to Lushun like a fuse.About half an hour later, a huge column of smoke rose from the Lushun Golden Mountain—the signal of the Houjin army's conquest had been successfully transmitted to Lushun.However, this is not the end. Seeing the beacon fire ignited on the Golden Mountain, the beacon towers on the Dongjiang Islands were also ignited one after another. This terrible news was quickly conveyed to the pass through the beacon fire and carrier pigeons, and reached the end point in the evening of the same day:

Shanhaiguan also ignited the flames.

The pillars of smoke soaring into the sky, the pigeons flying all over the sky, the border riders galloping on the post road, and the red flames ignited on the Shanhaiguan Beacon Tower made the atmosphere of fear like dark clouds in summer They flocked to the capital of the empire as if covering the sky and covering the sun, and everyone who saw it was terrified.The change of Jisi, after Jin broke the border and entered to ravage the capital, burned the famous city, captured the young and strong, slaughtered the old and the weak, the boundless blood has not dissipated, and now the gang of damned Tartars have made a big move again, this time Where are they going to fight?This time, can the imperial court hold back?
Huang Yulang knew nothing about this, he developed a high fever and fell into a coma.Many years later, when he mentioned the Battle of Lushun, he was very sad: "... two war horses, one in a hundred, have accompanied me for several years, and they are closer than brothers, but on that night, they made me run away to death...
