Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth horse exploration

The fifth town has no cavalry battalion organization, but the town guard directly under the town command post has a team of cavalry, who is usually responsible for the escorts of the town generals and the commanders to carry flags, and is used as a horse-snooping horse in wartime. Because they are cavalry, although there is only one team, Wei Zhong has the title of 100 households. The cavalry team under his command are all the old foundations of the Green Camp, and the three general flags are also from the personal soldiers of the town generals, and are considered as direct confidants. Unlike the established cavalry of the old four towns of the Taiping Army, the cavalry team of the fifth town is quite a bit like a rampant. The team pays attention to military rules and orders, but brotherly loyalty. This is very similar to the horse bandits in the Qing army's cavalry, and the composition of the soldiers is similar. Except for a few cavalry battalions, the rest are all bandits who surrendered or were captured in Chaozhou.

Wei Zhong was very confused now, and his subordinates were similar to each other, because they had not found any trace of Brigade Billion. At this time, it had been two hours since Brigade Billion went south, and it had been almost an hour since they sent people to the town command post to report the victory. According to time, Wei Zhong and the others should have found that Brigade Billion contacted them, but they just couldn't find anyone. When they came here, they found the dozens of auxiliary soldiers left by Brigade Billion to clean the battlefield, but the general flag who led the team did not know where their brigade was now.

It’s not possible to find Brigade C. The town general led the whole town south to pick up Brigade C. If you can’t contact Brigade C, how can you fight this battle?

Wei Zhong was a little nervous and had a bad idea. Did the Qing army deliberately let the battle of the Bing Bang in Guojiapu and lure them into the deeper, and then turned around and ate the Bing Bing Bing? If it weren't for this, why wouldn't the more than 2,000 people in Bing Bing Bing be found?

Wei Zhong did not dare to think about it. He and his three general flags decided to expand the search scope southward. Even if he rushed to the Qing army camp, he would understand whether the Bundesliga was alive or dead, otherwise they would not be able to go back and explain.

When it was almost dusk, Wei Zhong and his cavalry team arrived north of Songjiawo Tower. Along the way, the horses ran and stopped, but there was no one to see the crowd. They passed by several villages, either broken walls or empty buildings.

After stopping and gathering the horses, Wei Zhong first sent two soldiers back to the town command post to report where they were, and then he led the remaining people to continue to push south to search. In February, this place in Guangxi is not a place with spring flowers, but it is a bit cold. After searching for so long, the people in the cavalry team felt tired, but they did not stop and rest and go back.

"Tao Wei, there is someone in front of you!"

It was when he was getting more and more confused, a general flag beside Wei Zhong shouted in a low voice. As soon as this sentence was shouted, the cavalry team immediately shuddered and looked out. Sure enough, dozens of cavalry appeared in sight near Songjiawolou not far away. At dusk, due to the light, Wei Zhong and the others could not see clearly at all when they looked at the dozens of cavalry opposite him. However, the other party clearly saw Wei Zhong and the others, and they obviously noticed this side. They could even hear the sound of shouting and chasing them towards them.

Wei Zhong had stirrups on his feet and his body stood upright immediately. He wanted to see as far as possible. His mount was a little anxious and sniffed, but he still couldn't see clearly.

"Wei Tou, is it a member of Bing Bill or a Qing dog?"

The soldiers of the cavalry team around him asked nervously and excitedly. Wei Zhong shook his head and shouted softly: "No matter who he is, first ignite the ignition rope and press the gun. If it is wrong, let him fire a gun." But he didn't think that the person coming would be the people from Brigade C, because Brigade C had only a dozen cavalry guards who had sent orders, while dozens of cavalry came.

After the orders of the hundreds of households, the tired soldiers immediately turned over and dismounted, took out the hanging muskets from the side of the saddle. Another soldier held five reins in one hand and slowly retreated. This man was the so-called horse stake. He planned that the other party should turn over two short mud buns and get here. Half of the people in the cavalry team were holding muskets, and a few of them were bows, and the rest were either riding spears or sabers. Before the cavalry board was on the horse, the muskets must be loaded with ammunition and plugged with a wooden plug to avoid delaying time when loading the bullets when facing the enemy. At this time, pull out the muskets and use a strip to compact them. Just use the bow to hit the arrow.

The dozens of cavalry on the opposite side finally arrived at about a hundred steps in front of the Ming army. No matter what the light was, they could see clearly. Some were wearing fur hats, some were wearing helmets, and some were naked. A rat-tailed braid could be seen hanging down behind the head.

"It's the clear dog!"

Wei Zhong shouted

Dozens of Qing army probes were less than a hundred steps ahead of the Fifth Town Cavalry Team, wearing leather or cotton armor, and they were obviously the elite of the Qing army.

Looking at the dozens of Ming cavalry in front of him, the Qing army was not nervous and afraid of the horses. The leader of the team leader only looked at them with confusion. The Qing soldiers were still looking around, as if searching for something.

The fifth town, which used Zhao Ziqiang as the head treasure, was not inferior to the Qing army on the opposite side. He was dressed in leather armor of Manzhou soldiers captured in Chaohui Battle, with iron leaves embedded in key parts, and the same was true for red helmets. The war horses riding under his crotch were also top Mongolian horses riding by Manzhou people. The horses were not bad, the equipment and weapons were not bad, and the number of people was similar. Therefore, Wei Zhong did not have the idea of ​​retreating from the meeting. He was a stubborn mind. This time he received the order not to retreat north, but to go south to find the Boutique, so he could not find the Boutique. No matter how tired or dangerous it was, Wei Zhong could not take the man back.

The Qing army's probation on the opposite side was a soldier under the command of the Han army, Liu Desheng. All of them were from Liaodong. Several of their fathers and grandparents had worked hard for the Manzhou people as early as the old slave period. If they could make a fortune in the war in the southwest, they might have the possibility of entering the palace to guard the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty after returning to Beijing. It would be a great honor to be the one at that time.

The leader of the Han army was named Cao Rong. He was not originally from the Han army flag, but the royal palace of the regent Dorgon. After Dorgon died in the eighth year of Shunzhi, he was found guilty of a serious crime by the current emperor. Not only was the Zhengbai Banner accepted by the emperor, but the royal palace was also converted into the Interior Ministry Basketball Office and became the emperor's slave. Fortunately, although the emperor did not like Zhengbai Banner, he did not discriminate much against the royal palace, because these Han people were the emperor himself.
