Several bows and arrows drew low arcs and passed randomly overhead.
Three Qing soldiers in front were chasing the flag general and several others, attacking each other with mounted bows. Mandar's figure was the most conspicuous, and Yang Guangdi saw that his horse also had arrows stuck in it.
Yang Guangdi's horse speed increased as fast as possible, and the three Qing troops also spotted Yang Guangdi's group who were coming. After a whistle, the Qing troops nimbly turned and ran eastward to avoid being caught by the two soldiers.
Form a pincer attack by the Ming army.
Yang Guangdi kept an eye on the person closest to him. The Qing army's horse was so fast that its leather hat ran away, and its pigtails almost flew up behind them.
The banner commander and his men were chasing behind them, trying to drive them in the direction of Qin Jiuze and his men. Yang Guangdi kept adjusting his direction and speed, trying his best to force the three Qing troops to engage in a head-on confrontation under the advantageous situation.
Qin Jiuze also continued to beat the horse, and when he was within thirty steps, the three Qing soldiers suddenly accelerated. The speed of their mounts immediately increased, and the quality of their horses was obviously better than that of the Anqing camp.
Yang Guangdi looked back and saw that the four Qing soldiers who had just lowered their horse speed slightly had already turned around in an arc and would soon catch up. The speed of the fire could still be maintained, and Yang Guangdi kept adjusting the direction.
, and walked towards the front of the Qing army. Qin Jiuze in front of him leaned to the right of the horse's head, with the bow in his hand fully drawn, and the arrow flew towards the last Qing army. The Qing army used the bow
After a dozen strikes, he only reached the tail of the arrow, but the arrow still pierced his mount with a pop. Three arrows were already embedded in his horse.
Two arrows also flew from the opposite side, and one hit Qin Jiuze's mount. The horse jumped twice and its speed suddenly slowed down.
Yang Guangdi didn't need to draw his bow, but used the back of his sword to hit the big fire horse's butt hard. The horse passed Qin Jiuze and quickly approached the Qing army. The Qing army, which had been hit by three arrows, fell at the end.
The Qing army tried to change direction again, but the banner commander's group had anticipated it and blocked the northward direction in advance. The Qing army could only turn its head east.
Yang Guangdi chased diagonally, getting closer and closer to the Qing army. The fire snorted and he ran with all his strength. Yang Guangdi's body stood up skillfully with the pace of the fire.
The Qing army's mount in front was hit by three arrows and was gradually losing speed. The Qing army did not panic. He shouted and suddenly turned southward, separating from the other two.
The Qing army passed in front of Yang Guangdi's horse. Yang Guangdi subconsciously turned his horse's head to the right and swung his sword at the same time. He just missed hitting the Qing army. In a hurry, he pressed the blade of the knife and cut the Qing army's horse from the right side.
Crossed.
The horse hissed loudly and kept twisting its head. The Qing army's riding skills were superb, and they quickly controlled the horse, and the horse's speed actually increased a little.
Due to the sudden disguise of the Qing army, the chasing rangers were confused for a moment. The sight of Qin Jiuze and others behind him was blocked and they were unable to change direction in time. Only Yang Guangdi was still chasing him.
The Qing army rode an injured horse, still controlling the reins with one hand, and ran towards another group of four Qing soldiers. Yang Guangdi was anxious, and had just turned to slow down the horse. Now he could not judge whether he could make it on the ground.
Four Qing troops caught up with the Tatar before they arrived. Qin Jiuze's shout came from behind. Yang Guangdi didn't hear it clearly. When he was hesitating, he realized that he was in front of him.
The Tatars kept looking back, but were not in a hurry to hit the horse, and the distance quickly decreased to less than ten paces.
Yang Guangdi knew something was wrong. The Qing soldier suddenly raised his bow and turned his body from the left. Yang Guangdi had been paying attention to him. Knowing that the Qing soldier was about to turn around and shoot an arrow, he immediately turned his horse's head to the right and away from that soldier.
The range within which the Qing army could exert force. The Qing army's center of gravity shifted slightly, and the mounts turned to the left tacitly. The Qing army had another angle to exert force. Yang Guangdi did not expect that the opponent could control the horse like this in a fierce battle.
The cavalry bow within the step shoots long arrows, which are both powerful and powerful.
Accuracy, Yang Guangdi didn't think too much, and the waist knife immediately took off his hands and flew towards the opponent. The Qing army obviously did not expect that Yang Guangdi would throw the knife away, and swung his bow again to knock the waist knife away, and the arrow in his hand also fell
, while he was taking the arrow, Yang Guangdi took off his bow, stretched out his hand to grab the arrow, and got an arrow.
Pull out the tail immediately.
Before he could get the arrow tail stuck on the string, the Qing army in front had already turned around and fired an arrow. It was impossible to dodge even ten steps away. Huo Huo shook his body and let out a long hiss. Yang Guangdi shot an arrow randomly and missed.
other side.
The Qing army took another arrow and skillfully hooked it onto the string. Yang Guangdi panicked and found an undulating shape in the snow on the left side in front of him. It seemed to be a piece of land that had been plowed. The Qing army turned back to shoot the arrow. I wonder if it was
noticed.
There were a lot of deserted lands nearby, and in the increasingly blurry light, Yang Guangdi was not sure. But at this time, he didn't have time to think too much and pulled the horse's head hard to the right. The fire struggled and turned to the right.
The Qing army still followed the same method as before, leading their horses to the left to gain an angle, and their mounts ran into the undulating terrain. The bows and arrows came out from the strings, heading towards the neck of the fire.
The Qing army's mount suddenly limped, neighed, and the horse and man fell to the ground. The Qing army reacted quickly, took off the saddle with both feet and rolled on the ground, raising a large amount of flying snowflakes.
Yang Guangdi rode his horse and ran past. When he turned back to look, the Qing army had already stood up, drew his bow and continued to shoot at Yang Guangdi.
The fire was hit by an arrow again, and the four Qing soldiers who were chasing him were not far away. Yang Guangdi did not dare to stop, so he turned around and ran in the direction of Qi Zong. The four Qing soldiers were already forty steps away.
In the blurry light ahead, Yang Guangdi could see that the two sides were still chasing each other. The seven rangers had not surrounded the enemy. The two Qing soldiers had already rushed to the north, widening the distance from the rangers, and the direction gradually turned to the west.
noodle.
Although the Rangers had a numerical advantage, the opponent's mounts were superior, and the Qing army took advantage of their speed.
The light was dim at this time, and Yang Guangdi couldn't see clearly the extent of the injuries to the mounts on both sides. Although the Rangers could not do anything to the other party, according to the current situation, they might be able to drag it out until dark.
The fire beneath him was getting slower and slower. Yang Guangdi looked back and saw that four Qing soldiers had caught up to 30 steps and turned to the west.
But the four Qing soldiers did not pursue him. Instead, they chased the Ranger brigade. Yang Guangdi shot an arrow at them. The arrow flew high and quickly disappeared from the dim field of vision. He did not know where it fell.
where.
Yang Guangdi looked down and saw four arrows hit by the fire, leaving a trail of blood behind him, and the speed was getting slower and slower.
But the battle was not over yet. Yang Guangdi couldn't let it stop. He immediately clamped the horse's belly and instigated the fire to approach the fighting place.
Four Qing soldiers had already caught up, and the two Qing soldiers who had been avoiding the battle turned back to fight. The scene in the snowy field was chaotic.
Yang Guangdi arrived in a hurry, and could barely distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the dim light. At this time, the fire slowed down, and even beating it would be of no avail.
Yang Guang pulled the reins first and stopped the horse. He was about to draw his bow and fight when suddenly there was a bang in the west. A thick black shadow flashed and pierced the side of Huo Huo's neck, and an arrow appeared on the other side with flesh and blood.
.
The fire hissed and fell to the right with a bang. Yang Guangdi fell with the fire. He was dizzy from the fall. His right leg was also trapped under the horse and could not be pulled out for a while. Another sound came from the west.
Yang Guangdi could hear the sound of the bowstring vibrating as a walking bow. He pushed up his upper body and looked to the west. In the dim twilight, he saw a vague figure standing in the snowy field. This Qing soldier did not know when
arrived,
It seemed that he came alone. His mount was not far behind him. It seemed to be two horses. At this time, they were waiting quietly beside him. The figure approached on foot, holding a bow that was more than half the height of a man, and fired rapidly.
, almost all arrows are missed, the rangers in the battle
The horses among the soldiers neighed continuously, and two horses fell to the ground in a short period of time. The flag general's voice shouted, and the rangers retreated eastward.
The Qing army immediately pursued him, and Yang Guangdi struggled quickly, trying desperately to pull his leg out. The lone Qing soldier quickly walked towards the place where the two rangers fell.
A figure stood up from the ground, and the Qing soldier raised his hand. After the sound of bowstrings, a scream came, and the figure fell down again.
Yang Guangdi couldn't see clearly who the man was, but he saw the Qing soldier approaching and drawing his bow on another injured ranger.
He would come to kill him next. Yang Guangdi was anxious and struggled again, and the position he was being pressed seemed to loosen.
Yang Guangdi struggled hard and finally pulled his leg out, but he was not out of danger. The Qing army had superb shooting skills and used walking bows. In this place with no cover in the wilderness, Yang Guangdi was extremely
Not his opponent.
He only had the riding bow in his hand. When Yang Guangdi turned over and looked for it, he found that even the bow string was missing. At this time, the bowstring rang again. Yang Guangdi looked up and saw that the Qing army had turned its head.
When the Qing army came over, Yang Guangdi's scalp felt numb and he groped around with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't catch an arrow.
At this time, Huo Huo suddenly moved, and then he stood up again, with blood dripping from his neck. Yang Guangdi was stunned for a moment, then rushed up to Huo Huo's back, and there was another bowstring sound behind him, it should be another
With a heavy arrow, Yang Guangdi could even feel the vibration from the body of the fire, but this time the fire did not scream, but turned around
Just run west.
The wind blew across his cheeks, and Yang Guangdi felt that the fire was accelerating. His body did not tremble, just like when he was running.
There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and Yang Guangdi turned his head and took a look. The Qing army was chasing after him, and the fire was galloping across the snowy field at dusk.
Yang Guangdi lowered his body and lay on Huo Huo's back. His face could feel the temperature of Huo Huo's back. As the fire ran, the tips of the mane kept brushing against his forehead.
The horse's body was undulating. It was unknown how long it had been running. The light was getting darker and darker, and the sound of the horse's hooves behind it disappeared.
Finally, the fire stopped. Yang Guangdi quickly jumped off the horse. The fire stopped quietly. Yang Guangdi touched his neck with his right hand and felt the warm liquid flowing.
It was very quiet on the dark snowfield. The Qing army behind might have given up the pursuit. With the protection of darkness, Yang Guangdi was now safe. He took out a handful of black beans from his backpack and put it in front of the fire, feeling a warm feeling.
, a warm tongue licked the palm of his hand, Yang Guangdi stroked Huo Huo's neck in the dark, feeling its slight trembling, and then slowly lay on the ground.
