Chapter 162: Return to Nancheng
Yang Rusong, as the first mascot to join Wu Shigong's army, has been promoted to the deputy of the cavalry squad because of his hard training and excellent military skills. On this day, he was leading three cavalrymen to conduct a reconnaissance. Behind them were three,
Four miles away, other cavalrymen from the squad led by their squad leader followed.
Because they were almost reaching the capital, they were all very relaxed on their horses. The other cavalrymen were all soldiers promoted by the locals in Guide. They were all talking and laughing, saying that after arriving in the capital, they must ride at the feet of the emperor.
Yang Rusong also smiled and agreed to treat them to snacks from the capital.
Yang Rusong was still a big boy when he left the capital, so when he said this, he recalled the taste of the snacks in the capital and felt that the saliva in his mouth was about to remain.
But at this moment, one of his subordinates suddenly called out: "Captain Yang, there is a cavalry over there."
Everyone looked in that direction. After taking a closer look, Yang Rusong cursed: "Damn, it's a Tatar."
The Tatar was about five hundred steps away. It was a place for passers-by to rest and drink tea on the edge of the road. There were more than a dozen rooms. The Tatar was riding on his horse and looking around. There were still people beside him.
There are two empty horses.
One of his subordinates said to Yang Rusong: "Captain Yang, let's wait until Captain Wei brings all the brothers over."
Yang Rusong snorted and said: "What's so scary about just one Tatar? By the time Captain Wei comes over, the day lily will be cold. Get ready to fight."
The four horses immediately lined up in a row, and under Yang Rusong's order, the horses began to trot. After running a few steps, the Tatar on the horse spotted Yang Rusong and the four cavalry, and he immediately shouted loudly.
Following the shouts, two more Tatars rushed out of the house.
Yang Rusong and the others had already run onto the road at this time, and their horses had already increased their speed. Therefore, even if they saw two more Tatars, they could not stop.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the two Tatars who came out of the house were untying their reins in a panic. One Tatar saw that it might be too late, so he simply took off the bow and arrows placed behind the horses and drew the bow.
, and they took aim at Yang Rusong.
Seeing that the Tatar had drawn his bow, Yang Rusong and the others were sweating in their hands holding the spears. The rumor that the Tatar was good at riding and shooting was simply too popular.
With a "swish" sound, the arrows shot out. Fortunately, Yang Rusong and the others had experienced long-term charge training when facing firecrackers, so they gritted their teeth and did not even make an evasive move.
.
The arrows fired by the Tatars in panic were not very accurate, and flew past Yang Rusong and the others. The Tatar on the horse, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately abandoned his companions and turned around to escape. In an instant, Yang Rusong and the others
He rushed to the two Tatars who had not yet untied their reins. After two screams, the two Tatars were stabbed through each other with spears.
In fact, at this time, the fleeing Tatar had not yet started running fast. If Yang Rusong and the others chased him, they would have a great chance of keeping him. However, after the tense battle, they were also afraid of other Tatars.
Son, under Yang Rusong's order, all the cavalry slowed down and stopped.
The cavalry led by Team Wei behind saw Yang Rusong and the others letting go of their horses, and they hurried over. By this time, they were almost reaching Yang Rusong and the others.
Yang Rusong and others brought back the heads of two Tatars, which immediately caused a sensation among the two Qinwang armies. After Wu Shigong showed the two heads to Qin Liangyu, Qin Liangyu said: "They are real Tatars, but they are Mongolians."
people."
Qin Liangyu had fought against the Hou Jin Army several times, so he had rich experience in identifying the heads of Tatars. However, the discovery of Tatars so close to the capital made all the generals and soldiers nervous.
Qin Liangyu immediately ordered the army to slow down the march and be ready for battle at all times. The spies were also sent out twice as fast. Without much effort, the spies reported the situation: near the capital, the Tatars were scattered into groups of soldiers and horses.
Activities in the countryside. Burning, killing, and looting.
When he heard the spies' report, Qin Liangyu was furious and cursed: "Are they all just for food? With so many troops of King Qin, even these Tatars can't be dealt with. They even let them frighten the emperor at the foot of the capital. Let's go,
Let us white soldiers drive these Tatars away from the capital."
Looking at Qin Liangyu's appearance of taking a chicken blood injection, Wu Shigong secretly cried out in his heart: "Oh, my grandma Qin! Don't be so old and strong."
In fact, at this time, as King Qin's army gradually arrived, the Later Jin Army was afraid of being entangled by the Ming Dynasty army, and even more afraid that its retreat would be cut off. Therefore, the main force of the Later Jin Army, the Eight Banners Army, and the quasi-main force, the Meng Eight Banners, had already evacuated the capital.
.The only ones left near the capital were the troops of the Mongolian tribes who entered the pass with the Hou Jin army.
These troops of the Mongolian tribes finally entered the pass. When they saw the Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners eating meat and bones, they thought they should have a sip of soup. Therefore, they did not retreat with the main force of the Jin army.
They were also left around the capital and looted everywhere.
However, the Ming Dynasty army sat quietly in the city and paid no attention to the troops of these Mongolian tribes. This made the herdsmen and soldiers of the Mongolian tribes even more emboldened. They simply divided into small groups and went to the countryside to plunder them.
Everything you can see.
But a few days ago, the leaders of these Mongolian tribes received a report saying that two Ming soldiers who went out to plunder were killed by the Ming army. According to the report of the soldier who escaped, there were only four Ming soldiers who attacked them.
cavalry.
This information made the Mongolian leader attach great importance to it. In addition to looting a large number of people and property this time, it also boosted the morale of the Jin army. They found that except for a few limited battles, the Ming army
Basically, they all huddled in the city and did not dare to go out to fight against the Hou Jin army.
This time, several Ming soldiers dared to take the initiative to attack their own soldiers. The leader estimated that the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were coming. So, he immediately ordered the Mongolian soldiers scattered in the countryside to come back and assemble immediately, and then immediately
retreat.
But in a hurry, it was impossible to gather all the Mongolian soldiers. Therefore, when Qin Liangyu led the army to arrive, more than a thousand Mongolian soldiers were gathered. Then the first battle between Wu Shigong and the Jin army occurred after Wu Shigong crossed over.
battle.
In fact, the whole battle cannot be called a battle at all. In order to deal with more Mongolian soldiers, the Mongolian leader arranged his troops into a battle formation. Maybe he also wanted to defeat Qin Liangyu's army.
But Qin Liangyu is very experienced. She has already deployed her army in a formation. Even after she placed Wu Shigong's army on the left side of the formation, the forces on the right and center responsible for her white pole soldiers became stronger.
.
This battle took place about ten miles south of the capital. After Qin Liangyu arranged the troops in formation, she issued the order to attack. And she took a white-stemmed gun from the female guard beside her.
Wu Shigong saw Qin Liangyu's move from a distance on the left, and he was startled. Wu Shigong thought to himself: "You old lady, please don't be impulsive and play the trick of leading the charge on a whim. Otherwise,
, if you, the coach, charge, then I will be forced to charge too."
Fortunately, this was just a way for Qin Liangyu to encourage the white-gun soldiers. Seeing Qin Liangyu pick up the white-gun soldiers, the morale of the white-gun soldiers around her was so high that her son Ma Xianglin immediately led the vanguard to charge towards the Mongolian army in place of his mother.
passed.
Seeing the white-pole soldiers rushing over in a menacing manner, the Mongolian leader turned his horse around and ran away without saying a word. Seeing his commander in such a state, the Mongolian soldiers also drove their horses to flee. As for those Mongolian soldiers who had not come back to gather.
, then they have no choice but to ask for their own blessings.
But in the end it was Ma Kuai. By the time the white pole soldiers led by Ma Xianglin rushed over, there were not many Mongolian soldiers left. After killing a few Mongolian soldiers who were unlucky enough to block their escape route, the whole battle
The victory was achieved. However, Wu Shigong was afraid that the Mongolian soldiers would kill him, so he did not dare to send his own cavalry. This was also one of the reasons why he did not expand the results of the battle.
Those white-pole soldiers seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and even felt a little disappointed. Wu Shigong was very surprised. After sending someone to inquire, Wu Shigong learned that the main income of the white-pole soldiers was not military pay. Of course, their military pay was very small.
The main income of the white-pole soldiers was the silver bounty obtained in exchange for the enemy's heads. So they felt very sorry to see ingots of silver running away on horseback.
However, Wu Shigong's own soldiers were very excited. They felt that the fighting power of the Tatars was nothing more than this, and they would also run away. In fact, these soldiers could not tell the difference between the Jin army and these Mongolian herdsmen.
They will soon suffer from this wrong understanding.
After clearing out all the nearby Mongolian soldiers, the army set up camp outside the south gate of the capital. After the camp was set up, Wu Shigong looked at the capital from a distance and thought to himself: "Nancheng, I'm back again!
