"My artilleryman is really not a servant, and neither am I." Yang Guangdi replied seriously.
At the intersection of Dongjie Street, Mandal stood in the middle of two armored flag troops holding a bow. To the side and in front was the artillery group led by Commander Zeng, and not far to the north were fifty or sixty Qing cavalry.
Yang Guangdi's answer confused him. He couldn't tell who was the servant now.
Mandar rubbed the soles of his shoes hard, and they were covered with solidified blood. The place where he stood now was where the Qing troops dismounted and assembled, more than 20 steps away from where the Qing troops were shelled.
The ground was littered with broken pieces of the human body, most of which were wrapped in remnants of clothing. Silver scales could be seen everywhere, and there were more than twenty unattended empty horses around.
The small cannon was right next to it. Because it had passed the scene of the shelling just now, the wheels were covered in blood, and a piece of small intestine was hanging from a nail bulb on the right wheel.
The expected fierce battle did not happen. The two small cannons destroyed the white-armored formation like a tornado. The Qing army's offensive disappeared. The remaining troops escaped from the street and retreated dozens of steps to the north before stopping the entire formation.
There were more than fifty Qing troops left, including seven or eight white-armored soldiers. Their formation was chaotic, some were covered in blood, lying on their horses and screaming, and most of them did not even take out their bows and arrows.
The third armored flag team came out of the street and continued to extend the queue on the west edge. The second bronze cannon was arranged on the right side of the flag team. The entire formation was composed of two cannons separated by three armored flag teams.
.If he had faced these Qing troops with the infantry before, Mandar would have been very nervous and ready to run away at any time. Especially now that there were no horses, he would have been even more frightened. But now, mixed in with a bunch of armored soldiers and artillery, he actually felt...
It was strangely relaxed. I didn't feel any fear at all. I didn't worry about being defeated at all. The thunderous sound of hoofbeats came from the south. A small group of cavalry bypassed the formation from the outside. It should be the first batch of forwards of the Qing army. Look at the direction.
They were preparing to join the Qing army outside the town. Behind this group of Qing cavalry was a large group of Anqing cavalry.
.
The uniforms of the rangers are dark, but the regular cavalry are bright red, brighter than the red of the Ming army's fat coats. From a distance, they look like a dancing flame on the horizon. At this time, they are chasing the Qing army, and they look full of momentum.
The artillery crew shouted for a while. They had just started loading, and the Qing army on the opposite side was in chaos. First, several Tatars pulled their horses to dodge on both sides, and then the chaos extended to other positions. The Qing army quickly formed a ball. The two artillery pieces roared at the same time.
, the scattered Qing army immediately broke up and fled towards the north. The small group of Qing troops who had just arrived did not dare to stay when they saw this, and also fled north. When they arrived, their formation was okay, but now they can't
It turned into a rout. In just a short stretch of the road, two injured Qing soldiers fell off their horses. After they landed, they struggled to stand up and chased their horses desperately, but soon fell to the ground again.
There was an order from the front, and the three armored flag troops advanced forward neatly. Although they were walking on foot, in Mandar's eyes, it was like the earth was shaking.
The first division of cavalry from the rear rolled in, bypassing the flanks of the armored soldiers, and pursued the defeated Qing army.
"Ranger is looking for a horse to ride!" the flag general's voice shouted. Yang Guangdi quickly greeted the two of them and ran to the empty horses to find temporary mounts. The Qing army's war horses were of high quality, and any one Man Da'er looked at was good.
, I changed it three times in a row, and I wanted to change it a fourth time, but
Another group of rangers came to the cross street and divided up the horses.
After riding on horseback, everyone was no longer light infantry. After returning to the accustomed combat mode, they felt more secure.
Mandar grabbed his pigtails and said to Qin Jiuze beside him, "Uncle Qin, it seems that it will be easy to kill the Tatars with this group of southern soldiers."
Qin Jiuze snorted, "It's never easy to kill Tatars."
"Uncle Qin, you got that head in April, and there were more than 20 slaves. Our sentry team sent out ten, and led them to disperse twice. You found an opportunity to behead the head, and you were chased by the slaves for more than ten miles.
The ground gave me this head." Qin Jiuze rubbed the scar on his cheek and did not answer the topic. At this time, the armored soldiers ordered to stop. The armored soldiers sat back to back on the ground. Some of the standing ones also used weapons to support them. The artillery crew began
Pack up the equipment and put the medicine stick,
The revolving rod and other equipment were bundled onto the artillery cart. Only the chamber cleaner was still busy, trying to use the chamber cleaner broom to continue cooling the artillery.
Anqing's cavalry rolled past, and the Qing army in the north heard the sound of gongs. This order was similar to that of the Ming army, which was the sound of gold, which meant stop and retreat.
The Qing army gave up rescuing the besieged people in the town, but it also showed that the Qing army's chief officer was still outside the town, otherwise he would not be able to issue orders.
The First Division of Cavalry rolled towards the north with great momentum. The Rangers did not receive the order to pursue, so they could only stay where they were and inspect their new horses. Horses are smart animals, and they are also observing their new masters.
, Mandar's horse walked eastward on its own twice. Mandarer put his left hand tightly back on his waist, turned the horse's head back, and then turned the horse to walk a few steps westward, continuously
After a few times, the mount became docile.
"Qin Jiuze, Mandal!"
The two turned around and saw that it was the flag general. Mandarer said quickly, "Sir, please give me a warning."
Mr. Qi waved his hand, "If you two don't want to participate in the fight later, go to the delivery shop immediately and wait for orders at Mr. Chen Qian's office."
"What's going on with Mr. Chen Qian?"
"Many real barbarians have been captured alive. Pang Pang personally ordered that those of you who can speak Mongolian be interrogated immediately."
Mandar was inexplicably panicked when he heard the words "Pang Pang Ren", "What does Pang Pang Ren want us to ask?" "Their flags, their Niulu, their generals, their strength and number of soldiers, horses and chariots
The number of aircraft, the number of people trapped, the amount of food carried, attack targets and routes, etc. These things involve the movements of the Qing army, and the huge number of people took half an hour.
Empress Chen must listen to the intelligence report, and she must not be careless."
…
At the intersection of Sansanlipu South Road, the armored soldiers on standby were sitting on both sides of the post road. Most of them had taken off their auxiliary armor, and only 30% of them were fully clothed.
Qin Jiuze and Mandal followed Yang Guangdi through the streets of Jiajiabing. Because Yang Guangdi used to be a Tangma and was familiar with the Qian headquarters, Boss Qi arranged for him to bring the two of them over. They found them all the way from the cross street and walked through
Crossing the streets to the south, rivers of blood flowed between the streets and alleys. The corpses of the Qing army and the Anqing camp were mixed together. The Anqing soldiers were distinguishing them. I also saw a few living Tatars on the road, but they were all seriously injured. Looking at
They were already dying and probably couldn't speak. Most of the soldiers were chopping off the heads of the corpses and collecting armor and weapons. Many Qing soldiers had been stripped naked and their heads had been chopped off, leaving only a headless naked body.
The three of them first found the delivery shop where Qian's headquarters was located, but the prisoner was not there. Zan Hua didn't know where the prisoner was taken. Zan Hua asked them to go to Tu Tu Temple to find Mr. Chen Qian. Only when they arrived at Tu Tu Temple did they know that the prisoner came from the town.
Deported to Nantou
to the Chenghuang Temple, so he rushed to the south end of the town again.
This delayed nearly a quarter of an hour, leaving only half of the time limit requested by Pang Pang. The market in Nantou was even more chaotic. In addition to the troops participating in the war, there were also support personnel arriving.
There are more than a hundred carriages lined up on the road at the south end of the village, most of which are four-drawn carriages, and the smaller half are two-drawn carriages. They are looked after by civilian workers hired by the Dunbao and Anqing. Every ten vehicles have a soldier from the supply camp in charge. These vehicles
The carriage came from Hezhuang in the south. After arriving, it was turning around. Turning around was a hard job. Many times, it had to be unloaded and manually operated. The road was in a mess, with all kinds of shouts and curses mixed together. There were two
The two carriage drivers started fighting. The three of them were blocked by those carriages, so they could only walk along the road to find the Chenghuang Temple where the prisoners were detained. People carrying injured soldiers kept passing by, and when they arrived outside a large house at the south entrance, a man
The cotton-padded jacket is covered with white armor
The middle-aged man checked his injuries, and there were a group of people also wearing white coats beside him. The white man looked at one and put him on the carriage and sent him away.
Another wounded man was carried over. His left forearm was swollen, he was groaning deeply, and his face was very pale.
"This is a broken hand..." Bai Jia pinched the swollen area, and the wounded man screamed and kicked his legs and feet wildly, and neither of them could hold him down.
"It's not broken, it's slandered. Take it to the City God's Temple. Once the plywood is clipped, get on the carriage and go directly to the Tongcheng Post Station, which is inside the Post Office."
"This intestine is leaking out. It depends on how deep the injury is. I can't cure it. Send it to Dr. Shen."
"If this bone is broken, send it to Dr. Shen... There is a lion's door at the north end of Hezhuang. Dr. Shen has prepared a place. Don't worry, he won't die. Whether he can still walk depends on his fate.
"This shoulder injury should be treated in Nantou. Take off your coat. Your coat is so dirty. Why are you waiting for external evil to invade? Check whether his shoulder bone is damaged. If the shoulder bone is not injured, let him regenerate muscle."
After anointing them, write down their names, and they will do their jobs in a while
Come check, I don’t know where they were sent.”
According to this person's assignment, the wounded were either carried to continue walking, or carried on the carriages to the south. These carriages were covered with quilts, and those with minor injuries could be covered with a layer of quilts. The two of them had been following him before.
Ranger combat, the nature of the work is similar to that of a sentinel. They often sleep in the open air, and there is no guarantee level. Moreover, as soon as they entered the Anqing camp, they were chased by the slaves. It was only now that they could breathe a sigh of relief.
I had never even seen Pang Yu's Chinese army before, let alone knew that the wounded could be transported away on carriages and covered with such thick quilts.
Mandar was more curious about those white clothes. He didn't know what this group of people were doing. The soldiers who brought the wounded were very honest when facing these white clothes. Even when the armored soldiers came, they didn't say a word what they were told.
Fa did as he was told. The three of them avoided the U-turning carriages while continuing to look for the City God's Temple. Fortunately, the City God's Temple was not far from the place where the injuries were examined. There were lightly wounded soldiers on the ground inside the temple gate, many of which had been bandaged.
But from time to time some people still roll over miserably
called. Walking inside to the main hall, there was a small group of armored soldiers on guard at the door. They were divided into two groups and stood in front of the door next to two lions with tilted heads. They seemed to be the bodyguards of Panda. Yang Guangdi didn't have time to take a closer look and saw thousands of cavalrymen.
Headquarters information
Zan Hua and a manager of the Zan Painting Room hurried over and asked where the prisoners were. The manager looked at Mandal and Qin Jiuze, and then asked about Yang Guangdi's situation. He was sure that he was a Xuan Da border soldier who could speak Mongolian, and then
He told the three people that there were about twenty prisoners. He asked them to wait for a while, then turned around and went to the main hall.
Inside.
While waiting, Qin Jiuze and Mandarer looked around, looking for where the prisoners were.
After a while, the principal came out and said to the three of them, "Man Pang wants you to go in and ask questions." Mandal's knees softened and he knelt down.
