Chapter 7: Victory in the First Battle
Wu Zheng's vulgar words made the scene gradually quiet.
The soldiers present almost never fought head-on with the Qing army.
What they heard was that the Qing army was invincible, invincible, and invincible.
Regard the Qing army as a tiger, a wolf, and a demon.
And the officer's escape broke their morale.
Often a few Qing soldiers can slaughter a village, a hundred Qing soldiers can attack a county, and a Niu Lu (three hundred) Qing soldiers dare to enter the city to burn and loot.
Wu Zheng was surprised to find that the scene was actually controlled by himself.
At this time, Xiao An hurriedly ran back.
"Xiao An, how many tartars are there?"
"Back to ...... Back to the young master, there are about fifty or sixty people. ”
"Are there cavalry?"
"No, no."
"Are there any reinforcements?"
"It's not clear, but at least as far as my eyes can see, there are no enemy reinforcements."
Wu Zheng was relieved, turned to Chen Sheng and scolded, "Did you hear that? There are only fifty or sixty people, and you should have fifty under you, right? Hey...... No, there are more than 100 people here, right? ”
Chen Sheng glanced back and said in a muffled voice: "There is also a general flag, which was killed by an arrow from the Tartar during the encounter. ”
Wu Zheng scolded: "You are a soft egg, a hundred people, meet fifty or sixty Tartars, and escape as fast as rabbits." Haven't you ever thought about fighting to the death with the Tartars? ”
Chen Sheng choked up and said, "Even if you win, what if you win?" These fifty or sixty Tartars can enter the territory of Jiaxing Mansion, how can there be no follow-up reinforcements? We waited for hundreds of people, no reinforcements, no supplies, and it was nothing more than a dead ...... Woo....... ”
The three big and five rough men cried when they cried, which made the scene seem weird.
Thinking about others and thinking about themselves, the defeated soldiers who were blocked turned red one by one.
Indeed, they are not without the strength to fight back, but they have lost confidence.
It's not that they don't want dignity, it's that they lack a leader.
When Wu Zheng heard this, his heart moved, Chen Sheng was right, how could Tartar appear in Jiaxing Mansion?
Could it be that Jiaxing Mansion has fallen? Then his way home was cut off.
But this was not the time to think about this, Wu Zheng shook his head vigorously and focused his attention on the front of him.
"Chen Sheng, this official led more than 50 people to resist the enemy, you can take people to watch the battle on the side, if the official loses, you want to flee, if the official blocks the Tartar, then you decide to fight or not, how?"
Chen Sheng opened his mouth, glanced at the defeated soldiers behind him, and nodded: "Just according to what the adults say." ”
Erhan said suddenly: "Young master, there are only fifty or so Tartars, why do you need the young master to make a move, I can just bring people up with Xiao An to fight, and ask the young master to press the formation for us in the back." ”
Wu Zheng said: "The injury is not tight, I have eaten the old ginseng in the past two days, and the wound has scabbed." ”
Chen Sheng looked at Erhan and then at Wu Zheng, but did not speak.
"Chen Sheng, one mile behind the official road, there is a turn, one side of the turn is the woods, the other side is a steep hillside, you lead your own department to hide on the side of the road woods."
"Okay."
"Xiao An and Er Han led people to line up on the road at the turn to meet the enemy."
"Yes."
So the troops quickly retreated to the bend of the road for a mile.
Looking at Chen Sheng, who was about to lead his troops to ambush in the woods on the side of the road, Wu Zheng suddenly said: "Chen Sheng, you won't sneak away while your official is facing the enemy, right?" ”
Chen Sheng glared angrily and said: "If the adults can really resist the enemy, they will not be willing to be left behind." If an adult unfortunately dies, he will also stay behind and collect the body for the adult. ”
Wu Zheng raised his head and smiled: "That's very good!" Go ahead. ”
Chen Sheng led people away.
At this time, Uncle Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, how should I deal with it?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "Go back, find a roadside wood, hide, if you see that the official is victorious, come out, if the official is dead...... Phew, I'm dead, what's your business with me? ”
Uncle Zheng was speechless, stunned for a long time, turned around and stomped his feet, and left in a hurry.
While speaking, Xiao An came to report again, "Young master, the Tartar is already two miles away, and it will arrive in a blink of an eye." ”
"Silence!" Wu Zheng ordered, "Prepare the archers and act according to the orders of this official." ”
Fifty-seven Tartars came with their heads held high.
Along the way, they were so rampant that they didn't even send a scout.
They walked so swaggeringly, as if they were in the northeast of them.
But it's no wonder they're not going to blame.
Just think about it, just like 50 people, let Chen Sheng's 100 people flee without a single shot.
They are proud, and they have reason to be proud.
Pride is sometimes a source of high morale.
But sometimes, it's the cause of destruction.
They didn't know at this time that what was in front of them was their death.
The bend in the road, combined with the hill on the right, prevented them from seeing the ambush at hand.
Under Wu Zheng's command, more than 50 archers were at the turn, and they were ready to shoot their bows twenty paces away.
Fifty-seven Tartars turned, and almost face-to-face, only to discover an ambush.
But by this time it was too late.
The arrows of "chirping" are shot out intensively, almost no need to aim, the distance between the two sides is so point, it can be said that the arrows are coming immediately, and suddenly more than a dozen Tartars are shot to the ground.
A round of arrows was fired, and Wu Zheng did not hesitate at all, and shouted "Kill!" ”
The soldier threw away his bow and arrows, picked up his pre-placed waist knife from the ground, and shouted "Kill!" "Rush to the Tartars.
Shouting can get rid of the fear in people's hearts, and it can also shock the hearts of enemies.
Caught off guard, the Tartar was struck with a slap by an arrow.
Seeing the enemy charging at him, in a panic, a dozen Tartars turned and fled.
The remaining thirty or so Tartars, who were not afraid of death, collided with the rushing soldiers and fought in a heap.
At this time, Chen Sheng performed very well, and as soon as he saw a dozen Tartars being shot by bows and arrows, he knew that he had half the chance of winning this battle.
He then led the soldiers in ambush to block the dozen or so Tartars who had fled.
Pity the dozen or so Tartars, besieged by a hundred people, chopped into pulp.
The soldier was unconsciously pouring out the panic in his heart.
It's like when a person meets a ghost, his first reaction is to pick up all the guys around him and go forward to say hello.
At this time, Wu Zheng's side also completed the fight.
Erhan's performance is very eye-catching, and it can be said that he has been noticed by hundreds of people.
He took the lead, and every time he took a step forward, he would shout "eat me with a knife" in his mouth, and brandished a steel knife in his hand, slashing four people in a row, like a god of war, which greatly encouraged the charging soldiers behind him. It is precisely because of his courage in battle, coupled with his surname Chi, that after this battle, he was affectionately called "Chi (eating) a knife" by the soldiers.
After Song An (Xiao Anzi) did not fall behind, he firmly protected Erhan's left side, and Pumped Lengzi also killed the two.
When the soldiers under his command saw that the two commanders were so brave, they also became strong one by one.
The screaming in his mouth is no longer the cringe he felt when he heard the tartar change before.
In the time of one pillar of incense, a total of fifty-seven Tartars were completely annihilated.
On Wu Zheng's side, only three people were injured, and no one was killed.
And Chen Sheng's hundreds of people, not even a single injured person.
