The Caishi Army responded in the shortest possible time, with muskets chirping, arrows flying, and all calling in the direction of the dense forest.
In a late-night raid, the attacker already has a certain advantage.
Under this situation, Liu Ruyi couldn't figure out how many men the opponent had at the moment, so he had to use the powerful firepower of the Caishi Army to suppress the opponent's firepower and win some reaction time for the elite soldiers behind him.
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh!"
Feather arrows from both sides came and went, and soon, the camp on the northeast side of the Colored Stone Army was filled with fire, and blazing flames spread straight into the sky.
It was early summer, and the weather was already dry. Although the Qing army's method was simple, it undoubtedly achieved extremely significant results!
"Damn, these dog Tartars are really annoying! General, please give the order! I must peel off the skin of these dog tartars and cramp them!" Chunwa gritted her teeth and asked Liu Ruyi to fight. road.
But Liu Ruyi shook her head slightly, "No rush! Inform the brothers and continue the fire suppression! We'll see later!"
"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly passed the order to the front line.
Although Chunwa was impatient, Liu Ruyi said something, so he had to be patient.
"General, there shouldn't be many of them! It seems they don't dare to come over!" Huo Lang also discovered the problem with the Qing army at this time, and frowned and said to Liu Ruyi.
Liu Ruyi sneered slightly, "This is Huang Taiji giving me eye drops! Where is Zhang Mu?"
"Your humble position is here!" Zhang Mu, who was behind the generals, rushed forward and knelt down in front of Liu Ruyi.
"I'll give you three thousand cavalry, go out from the south camp! Remember, don't take action easily! Wait until you see the situation clearly before taking action! If the opponent has many people, you can retreat quickly! If the opponent has few people, kill their leader's head Come and see me!" Liu Ruyi said coldly.
Zhang Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Yes! I'm going out now!"
Soon, Zhang Mu ordered 3,000 elite cavalrymen from the military camp, left the southern camp, and quickly disappeared into the darkness...
~~~~~
At this time, deep in the dense forest, the Caishi Army's rockets had set the forest on fire, and Shi Tingzhu's life was not easy either.
"Colored stone weapons are sharp, and we are no match for such a shooting exchange! At this time, the mountain fire has started, and we must make a decision quickly! Otherwise, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!" A trusted guard said anxiously to Shitingzhu Road.
Shi Tingzhu's face looked a little ferocious.
He finally 'snatched' this job from Huang Taiji, and lurked in the dense forest for a day and night before taking action. Unexpectedly, the Caishi Army reacted so quickly. I am afraid that the hard work of the past few days will be wasted again. Got it!
"Damn it, Liu Ruyi is really a person! He really has a way of running the army! Tell the men to retreat! Hurry up!"
This was Shi Tingzhu's first real confrontation with the Colored Stone Army, and it was also the first time that he personally felt the combat power of the Colored Stone Army! No wonder Liu Ruyi's Colored Stone Army could repeatedly defeat the invincible Qing cavalry. It really had some ability. ah!
Although he really wanted to have a showdown with the Caishi Army, Shi Tingzhu was a man who had experienced hundreds of battles after all. Seeing that the situation was impossible, he did not dare to hesitate anymore, ordered his troops and horses, and quickly retreated towards the east!
~~~~~
This battle itself was a small-scale test between the two sides, and it went away as quickly as it came.
Soon, the empty valley was filled with blazing fires and soldiers who quickly gathered to put out the fires.
All the generals around Liu Ruyi looked ugly!
This damn guy was actually killed at the door of his house. How could he bear this tone?
What's more, most of the generals around Liu Ruyi are young and energetic. Ever since they followed Liu Ruyi and joined the Colored Stone Army, they have always chased others' noses and hit them. How have they ever been wronged like this?
However, Liu Ruyi did not say anything, but waved his hands to the generals with a gloomy face, "You all, please step back! Tomorrow, I hope to see your determination!"
"Yes!" All the generals fell to their knees one after another, not daring to express their anger.
~~~~~
At this time, Zhang Mu had led 3,000 elite cavalrymen of the Colored Stone Army, bypassing the east valley and reaching the open area across the river.
Standing here, you can just see the movements of the Qing army retreating from the dense forest.
Due to the huge fire in the dense forest, these Qing troops did not take much advantage. Those who were lucky only had their clothes and armor scorched. Those who were unlucky had burns on their hair, eyebrows, and even arms and legs.
trace.
Burns are extremely difficult to treat not only at this time but also in later generations.
After the human skin is burned, pus and water will accumulate, causing itching and pain. Especially at this time, the weather in early summer will make people extremely painful.
Although this Qing army was far away from Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu could clearly hear the miserable screams coming from the Qing army crowd from time to time.
"General, the Tatars seem to have suffered a lot! What should we do?" Hao Da asked Zhang Mu in a low voice.
Due to various achievements, Zhang Mu has become the leader of this guerrilla force, and Hao Da, although he is also in a guerrilla position, has become Zhang Mu's deputy.
Zhang Mu stared at the growing black shadow in the distance, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "What should we do? Cold! Brother Hao, since the general has given us this opportunity, if we can't seize it, then what will happen?"
It’s a waste of the general’s hard work! These dog Tatars are so arrogant! They even dare to sneak attack on the camp of our Colored Stone Army! Today, I must take the head of this dog Tatar leader!”
When Hao Da heard what Zhang Mu said, he was also very happy. Their military success was coming again!
"General, my men are impatient. Please give the order!"
Zhang Mu fiercely pulled out the steel knife from his waist, "Brothers, follow me and charge! Don't let go of a dog Tatar!"
"Ouch~~~!" The soldiers let out a wolf howl.
In a moment, like a tide, it rushed straight towards the stone pillars like a bereaved dog.
~~~~~
After finally escaping from the sea of fire in the dense forest, Shi Tingzhu was about to take a breath, but unexpectedly, a Ming army cavalry suddenly shot out from the side. This was simply killing him!
"Damn it, the Colored Stone Army reacted so quickly! Boys and men, rush forward and hold on! Prince Rui's army is not far from us! Once he hears the movement here, Prince Rui will personally bring reinforcements!
"
Shi Tingzhu has rich war experience. He naturally understands that in this situation, if he escapes, he will definitely become a target for the cavalry of the Caishi Army. Only by going up hard and dispersing the opponent's momentum can he
There is a chance of survival!
The banner cavalry of the Han army under his command were all from his headquarters in Liaodong, and they were all brave. In recent years, since they followed Shi Tingzhu and joined the Qing army, although not all of them were rich, they still had land, and a beautiful wife from Guan Nei.
Concubines, everyone has a lot of friends.
When they heard their leader's words, they didn't think anything of it at the moment. They turned their horses' heads and charged in the direction of the Caishi Army cavalry!
Not long after, the two sides were like two torrents, colliding violently on this flat wasteland through the cold moonlight above!
"Kill! Kill!"
Both parties are Han Chinese, so there is no language barrier at all!
However, one side is the Ming Dynasty, and the other side is the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
These Han army banner cavalry fought for their land and wealth, but the cavalry of the Caishi Army fought for the honor of the Caishi Army and the perfect military merit system of the Caishi Army!
No one on either side was willing to give in, and soon, this empty wasteland turned into the most brutal battlefield!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Dog Tartar! You still want to run away! Give me a knife!"
"Minggou, you are seeking death!"
"..."
There was chaos on the battlefield.
Although Zhang Mu's three thousand elite cavalry have the active advantage, these elite cavalry under Shi Tingzhu have rich war experience, and their equipment is no worse than that of the Caishi Army cavalry. The most important thing is that they have followed the Manchus for many years, and they have already
He has been integrated into the life of the Manchus, and his riding and shooting skills are not much different from those of the real Manchu elites.
In a matter of moments, hundreds of people from both sides were already fighting!
People shouted and horses roared. Both sides just wanted to eliminate their opponents from the ground. There was no possibility of compromise at all!
As a breeze passed by, the thick smell of fresh blood spread into the distance, attracting hungry wolves from the nearby mountains.
Zhang Mu was already covered in blood at this time. He could no longer remember how many Qing soldiers he had killed. Maybe six, maybe eight!
This was the first time that Zhang Mu truly felt the combat power of the Qing army!
Only then did he understand why the general was so cautious when fighting the Qing army. The Qing army did have this capital!
A quarter of an hour has passed since the war, and the formations of both sides have long been in chaos. There is me among you, and you among me. They are divided into several pieces, each fighting on its own.
This is also a characteristic of small-scale cavalry confrontations.
The cavalry needs to rely on horse power and running speed to cause the greatest impact on the opponent.
But it was dark at this time, the visibility was not high, and the war horses did not dare to reach the maximum speed. They could only rely on the explosive power of the war horses to impact the opponent in a small area.
"General, look over there! There seems to be a Tatar leader over there!" Zhang Mu, a soldier with sharp eyes, was the first to see the Shiting Pillar not far away, which was guarded by several white-armored soldiers.
Ordinarily, the generals of the Han Army Banner were not qualified to have the most elite white-armored guards of the Qing Dynasty, but Shi Tingzhu could barely be considered a member of the Lianghuang Banners and a close confidant of Huang Taiji, so he had this privilege as an exception!
This is also a sign that Huang Taiji reused Han people since the Battle of Songjin!
At this time, Zhang Mu also noticed Shi Tingzhu, who was surrounded by several white armors in the middle, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Damn it, is this the Tatar leader! Very good! I will take your head!"
After saying that, Zhang Mu shouted, "Follow me, sons and daughters, our achievement is coming!"
"Ouch~~~!" The soldiers all reacted at this time and couldn't help shouting. They followed Zhang Mu desperately and rushed towards Shi Tingzhu!
Shi Tingzhu wanted to evacuate, but he didn't expect that his target was too big and he was actually targeted by Ming Gou!
At this time, he also saw Zhang Mu who was rushing in front, wearing silver armor, and couldn't help but sneered, "There is a road to heaven if you don't take it, and there is no door to hell if you break in! My dear men, in front of you is the general of the Ming Army.
, rush up with me and chop off this guy’s head! I will personally go to the emperor to ask for credit for you!”
These Qing soldiers in white armor also became excited. They picked up their weapons one after another, drew their horses and whips, surrounded Shi Tingzhu, and pushed in the direction of Zhang Mu!
