In the almost suffocating atmosphere, the temple door suddenly creaked when entering, which was still harsh amidst the rumble of hoofbeats. Then there was the sound of horse hoofbeats outside, and someone rode a horse into the outer courtyard.
Yu Laoer's hand shook and he slowly moved away from the door latch.
Everyone in the courtyard bit their tongues and listened nervously to what was going on outside.
There was the sound of people dismounting from their horses and landing on the ground. Someone was talking in a completely unheard accent, and someone laughed twice.
Yu Laoer reached out and grabbed the wooden handle of the throwing ax at his waist, not knowing what to do for a moment.
The sound of hoofbeats outside continued, but the sound of swans never sounded. Time suddenly became extremely slow. The more than twenty Anqing soldiers in the inner courtyard were stiff and did not dare to make a sound for fear of alarming the Qing troops separated by a wall.
There was a lot of noise in the outer courtyard. There seemed to be a lot of people there, and from time to time there was the sound of horses snoring. Yu Laoer swallowed hard, and the hand that grabbed the wooden handle of the flying ax was about to squeeze out water.
At this time, the door latch suddenly clicked, and everyone in the inner courtyard trembled slightly. The two door leaves protruded inward, and then were stuck by the door latch.
More than 20 people in the courtyard gathered around the door. The sound of hooves on the post road rumbled, but it was as if they could not hear it. Everyone bit their tongues and stared at the door bolt. The captain of the armored soldiers waved to everyone.
He signaled to leave the position in front of the door and not to be seen through the gap. Everyone hurried to the wall, only Wu Zhang Xu stood still, with the mace still in place, as if he was asleep.
, it was the other armored soldier who dragged him to the wall.
Someone cursed outside, and then someone shouted loudly, and the door leaf protruded violently, making the door latch clang. With the impact, a gap opened in the door leaf, and a figure with dark armor flashed in the crack.
The dark-armored Tatar was facing the door sideways, talking to other Qing soldiers. He turned around and saw the scene inside the door, and then banged it so hard that the door latch was about to collapse.
The swan tone had not yet sounded, and seeing that the door was about to be pushed open, Yu Laoer subconsciously rushed forward to hold the door leaf, and then an armored soldier held it against the other side. There was another impact from the outside, and the door leaf only bulged slightly.
Someone was noticed outside and immediately shouted loudly. He shouted and left the door.
Yang Guangdi held his sword and didn't know what to do. The two captains obviously had not imagined this situation. The swan sound did not sound. If the Qing army found out, it would be more than 20 people fighting against hundreds of Tatars.
The door panel made a loud bang, and Yu Laoer's head tilted. The front of an ax suddenly appeared on the door panel above his head, almost hitting his head. Yu Laoer and the armored soldier quickly backed away, and the ax fell down.
Twist and pull away, door panel
There was a hole in the bed, and there were shouts and curses coming from outside, and it seemed that Yu Laoer was seen.
Yu Laoer turned around and ran to the wall, grabbed his crossbow, stepped on the pedals hard and began to string the arrow. Now that he had been discovered, he no longer paid attention to the order of General Qi. Everyone was holding on to their weapons and breathing rapidly.
Upon seeing this, Yang Guangdi quickly ran to the steps, grabbed the firecracker and matching accessories with both hands, and ran back to the wall to start loading. The sound of hooves near the temple door weakened, and the shouts in the outer courtyard became more and more loud. It seemed that many people dismounted and entered.
Beads of sweat appeared on Yang Guangdi's forehead. There was another sound of an axe, and several pieces of wood flew out from the door. It was obvious that the door panel was broken.
It was opened, followed by another blow with an axe, and someone was yelling and cursing loudly. It came through the hole in the door panel. It could be heard very clearly. There was a rubbing sound on the wall, and someone was trying to climb the wall. Xu Wu Zhang held the huge ax with both hands.
The mace walked to the position closest to the door on the wall. Yu Laoer glanced at him and consciously gave up his position. Yang Guangdi poured the gunpowder into a copper tube, because his hands were shaking and could not be spilled.
Save it at the edge. When it is full, use a copper tube to pour it into the gun chamber. Then put the lead bullet into the gun chamber and press it hard twice with the pick rod. There is a matchlock point behind it. I wonder if it is too late. The wall above my head popped.
Some snow powder fell, and it seemed that someone was on the wall. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Yang Guangdi's forehead. He turned to look at Qin Jiuze. The Xuanfu veteran hunched over and left his position against the wall, with his bowstring slightly stretched.
, looking at the wall without blinking, Yang Guangdi immediately felt relieved, lowered his head and continued to load the primer.
There was a loud bang at the door, the door latch clicked off, and the front half spun around and flew into the lobby.
Several military figures swarmed in. The first one was a dark-armored Qing soldier. He held his sword in front of his chest. He rushed in from the gate and before he could see the situation clearly, a huge club head covered with spikes was already in his chest.
Smashed him sideways. With a sound, the mace violently hit his waist knife. Under the fierce sweep, the blade had no resistance. The back of the knife hit his left chest quickly along with the big stick, and accompanied by
The muffled sound of the sternum breaking, the chest suddenly
When it collapsed, the body's forward momentum suddenly stopped. The dark-armored Qingjun shuddered, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of all strength in an instant. He immediately collapsed without even making a sound.
The other Qing troops did not expect that there were so many Ming troops and so many armored soldiers inside, but they had already rushed in. The narrow door was blocked by the following Qing troops, and they could not retreat at all. They could only fight with weapons. In the courtyard.
The Anqing soldiers shouted in unison and surrounded the door one after another. They surrounded the city in a semicircle and attacked the Qing troops who were rushing in. Xu Wuchang immediately jumped on his horse and stabbed him with a line gun in the chest.
on the breastplate
There was a crunching sound, but Chang Xu Wu ignored him and swung the huge mace at the Qing army. Blood droplets splashed on the dense spikes of the mace. Yang Guangdi had no time to finish charging and threw it away.
Yang Guangdi took the blunderbuss and rushed to the door and crowded beside Mandal. Mandal stabbed him fiercely with a thread gun. Yang Guangdi's line of sight was blocked by Mandal. He couldn't see any Qing soldiers. He just put his waist
The swords were thrust in and they chopped randomly, forgetting to even spit out the bits in their mouths. Both sides crowded in front of the inner courtyard door. Knife rollers, two-handed axes and maces were smashed up and down with the sound of wind. The Qing army in the middle fought back with waist knives and line guns, leaving blood and flesh in the field.
Flying horizontally, the ground in front of the door quickly filled with people, and there were crazy screams and screams.
Inner courtyard of Chema Temple.
…
In Hezhuang, five miles away to the south, a cavalryman quickly ran into Zhuangzi.
"Sir, Chen Rulie reported that the Sanlipu lookout post estimated that there were more than 500 Qing troops in the second line. It was too late to notify all the ambush troops. Chen Rulie might wait for the leader of the team to leave the bunker before issuing the order."
"Got it." Pang Yu held up a telescope and looked at the post road. In the lens, the second round of the cavalry was already in sight. Behind them was the first batch of Qing troops. Except for the heads sent by the rangers, this would be the first time Pang Yu saw them.
Qing army.
According to the plan, the second round will launch a counterattack one mile south of Sansanlipu, attracting reinforcements from the Jiannu behind, allowing them to quickly enter Sansanlipu. The formation is being adjusted in the second round. Tu Dianli's voice behind him said
, "Sir, Tongchengpu came to report that the sentries sent by the fifth cavalry bureau found Tatar cavalry in the west of Dong'a City at 3:00, about a hundred people, and circled from the west to the east of the city, and then turned back to the north of the city.
The signs of Chengyi’s march.”
Pang Yu waited for a moment and said, "Got it." He turned around and looked around him. Jiang Guoyong was leading the subjugation team to supervise the battle in Sanlipu. There were Tu Dianli and Wu Dacai here. In addition to the cavalry waiting for orders, there was Zhuang Chaozheng.
The two bureau soldiers led by him are the reserves for the Battle of Sansanlipu. If Jiannu has a third batch, it will be these troops. If Sansanlipu is not too small, Pang Yu hopes to use all the troops.
The armored soldiers were placed in the towns. Only in the streets and alleys can the armored soldiers fight the cavalry best.
Advantage.
Tu Dianli turned around and went to the small table at the back, where he was waiting for the new newspaper.
Pang Ding came over and said, "Master, there are more than two hundred Tatars, and probably more than five hundred. Chen Rulie's deception did not allow the Tatars to divide their troops."
"Looking at the intelligence summary this morning, Chiping was attacked three times last night, and the twin temples were attacked five times. Three people were killed and six were injured. There must be Tatar scouts near Chiping. They saw Chen Rulie's arrangement, so naturally they wouldn't
They were deceived and divided their troops."
Pang Ding whispered, "If it exceeds five hundred, we may not have enough people."
"If it's not enough, we can only fight. The people in Sanlipu can't evacuate. They don't have any horses. The only way to survive is to win."
"If the force from the south comes over, we will have no way out."
Pang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "The one in the south is just showing signs, but it's still far from coming. That's all I can deploy. Whether we can win or not depends on God's will. If something happens to Jinan, a few heads won't be enough."
"But it seems that there are too many Tatars. Master, would you like to prepare..."
Pang Yu turned around and looked around, coughed and nodded. A few steps away, Wu Dacai held up his telescope and kept observing Pang Yu's face. In the second round, he was beaten by more than 40 slaves.
They were in such a state of embarrassment that more than ten people had fallen from their horses, but Pang Yu remained expressionless and could not tell.
Come to emotions.
Tu Dianli's voice said from behind, "Would you like to support the second round?"
Pang Yu said calmly, "Wait for the cannon to fire." Tu Dianli knew what Pang Yu meant. There were only three bureaus here, and they were planned to be used intensively to chase the fleeing Qing army. Although the second cavalry bureau was embarrassing, after all,
They had the advantage in numbers and it was not yet time to collapse, so Pang Yu was unwilling to divide
They used their troops scattered. At the same time, they were also dissatisfied with the Second Cavalry. They originally used counterattacks to attract the rapid reinforcements of the follow-up slaves to prevent them from searching the streets, but now they actually wanted to attract reinforcements from the Anqing camp first. Tu Dianli turned around and ordered a few praise paintings,
Several people are required to listen carefully, because the noise of the hoofbeats from the cavalry chasing in front is very loud, which may affect the signal transmission. When Zanhuafang and Chen Rulie confirmed the plan, there was no
Take this into account.
Wu Tachai stabilized the sword on his waist. From time to time, some of the cavalrymen chasing him fell off their horses. Wu Tachai's mouth was dry and his hands and feet felt the urge to wave.
Pangding also noticed the dilemma of the second cavalry. The Tatar cavalry seemed to be much more powerful than the bandits. He didn't know how long the second cavalry could last. He couldn't help but tugged on his collar and murmured, "Why haven't you sent one yet?"
gun?"
Tu Dianli suddenly said, "It seems like a cannon has been fired!" Pang Yu also turned his head and listened carefully. Among the noisy hoofbeats in the north, there was another faint sound of cannon.
