Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 927
The rapid sound of horseshoes roared, and with the vibration of the ground, the cavalry composed of ten thousand people and horses of various ethnic groups galloped forward with chills.

Their speed was still under control at first, but after galloping for more than [-] miles, the cavalry was not ambushed, and the knights gradually got used to the night road, so their speed gradually increased. Swipe past them, moving back quickly.

The cavalry was galloping, and the torch was blown backwards, and more than ten thousand cavalry were undulating on the official road like fire dragons.

Qing rode Tablecloth Tai on a white horse. The long gallop made his helmet crooked. He looked at the pitch-black hills on both sides, and the trees on them were terrifying. Clamping the horse's belly, he caught up with Oboi who was galloping ahead, and said anxiously: "Ah Hong, the emperor told you to be vigilant. I see that the official road is winding, and the hills on both sides are easy to ambush. Should we be more careful? Wait for Wu Sangui!" !"

Tablecloth Tai is Oboi's younger brother, and Oboi will still listen to what he says.

Hearing the words, he looked to the two sides. Although the official road was illuminated by the torch, the two sides were still relatively dark. He watched the hills passing by, and his heart really tightened. He slowly reined in the horse and slowed down a little. .

"Then wait for Wu Sangui!" General Oboi sat down and snorted, "How far did we throw him?"

Table cloth Tai looked back, the official road was winding, he couldn't even see the tail of the cavalry, let alone Wu Sangui.

"It's estimated to be more than ten miles away!" Tablecloth Tai turned around and said.

This made Oboi frowned. When tens of thousands of Ming troops retreated, someone must stay behind. This is a matter of common sense. He is indeed vulnerable to ambushes. "Send someone to urge Wu Sangui, tell him to hurry up, and keep a distance of five miles from me. !"

"I'll send someone to do it right away!" Table Butai immediately exchanged for a cavalryman, gave some instructions, and the cavalryman pulled his horse's head, turned around, and galloped back against the team.

"Fei Aying, take your people first." Seeing this, Obai turned his head and ordered a golden general beside him. After speaking, he waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly; "Slow down, don't fall into the ambush of the Ming army. !"

As soon as his words fell, the entire cavalry team slowed down immediately, only the golden general named Fei Aying, who led the [-] deployment, continued to gallop forward without slowing down.

The three hundred cavalry quickly distanced themselves from the main force with roars.

On a relatively high hill in the distance, Li Dingguo and Wang Deren stood together. They looked down from the top of the hill, and the golden army in the distance looked like a silver snake walking through the hill.

"Commander Wang, the Jin army seems to be separated!" Li Dingguo said while pressing the handle of the knife with one hand and pointing down the mountain with the other.

Wang Deren took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that the fire snake seemed to split into a smaller snake, and continued to swim forward, while the speed of the big snake behind it slowed down.

"It seems that the Jin army is very vigilant, so the forwards are dispatched first, and the main force should be waiting for the troops behind!" Wang Deren frowned, "It will be very difficult for the Jin army to enter the urn!"

The organized retreat of the tens of thousands of people in the Ming army must go first and then go, some in the middle, and some behind. Arrange for one person to be broken.

It is common sense for the Jin army to be vigilant, but when his speed slowed down and the distance between him and the troops behind him became closer, it would be difficult for the Ming army to ambush.

Li Dingguo stared at the flames of splitting, turned his eyes for a moment, and then said: "Commander Wang, we should change our plan. We must attract the Jin army to enter the ambush circle as soon as possible, and then inflict heavy damage. If it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid we will not be able to leave the battlefield smoothly and withdraw. South Shore!"

The Ming army retreated across the board, and the Ming army responsible for the breakup naturally couldn't stay for long. If they were entangled and did not retreat in time, they might be left on the north bank.

Hearing the words, Wang Deren frowned, "Commander Li, what can I do?"

In terms of official position and title, Wang Deren surpasses Li Dingguo, so this time, Wang Deren is the main one and Li Dingguo is the assistant.

"Commander Wang continued to lie down on the mountain. He led his troops to ambush the forward of the Jin army. The main force of the Jin army will rush to rescue him when he hears the sound. When the time comes, he will pretend to be defeated. The main force of the Jin army will definitely not suspect that there are still men and horses on the mountain after seeing the ambush. I will definitely pursue and kill you with all my strength, so I will definitely bring all the Jin army into the ambush circle." Li Dingguo clenched the handle of his knife, pointing at the forward of the Jin army who had pulled away from the main force.

Wang Deren looked at the main force of the Jin army whose speed was getting slower and slower, pondered for a while, and finally nodded slightly, "It is possible!"

Qing general Fei Aying led [-] cavalry, and the speed did not slow down, and soon opened a distance from the main force.

From the perspective of the Ming army on the mountain, it seemed that the two fire snakes were not far apart, but the fact is that they were separated by more than two miles in a short while.

The three hundred gold troops galloped south along the official road, and kept looking at the situation on both sides. Although they couldn't see very clearly, they could only see the blurred outline of the hills, but they could tell that the mountains on both sides were not steep. The road that the army is about to pass is between these low hills.

Along the way, the situation on both sides was almost the same. Fei Aying didn't stop to observe.This is mainly due to the weather, even if they stopped, they couldn't see clearly, so they took the simplest method, that is, stopped before advancing for a mile or so, and shot dozens of guns at places where there might be ambushes on both sides. .

At this time, more than ten arrows shot to both sides, and it was unknown where they landed in the darkness. The arrows shot into the woods quickly, and one arrow hit the tree trunk. The black shadow hiding behind immediately shrank its head.

Seeing no response, Fei Aying waved his hand as usual, "Go ahead!"

The cavalry continued to gallop, and slowly picked up the speed again. On the official road, the hooves of the horses were loud for a while, but in the dark hills on both sides, there was no sound, not even the cry of wild animals.

However, at this moment, a trumpet sounded suddenly, and the running cavalry startled and tightened the reins. The horse neighed and hung in the air, and then fell heavily. The whole team neighed abruptly, and the golden army panicked everywhere Looking around, I saw torches suddenly raised on the hills on both sides.

"Not good! Withdraw!" Fei Aying reined in the reins, stabilized the frightened horse, and immediately shouted.

At this moment, the howling sound of sharp arrows piercing the air came like a gust of wind, and two densely packed arrows formed a large net and fell rapidly.The arrows pierced through their armor, pierced their war jackets, and shot into their corpses. The heart-piercing pain turned into a mournful howl, soaring to the sky.

Aobai, who was left behind, beat his horse and walked slowly, when he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the front, he was not angry but happy, "Quick, speed up immediately, the forward is ambushed!"
