Chapter 360: Hedging

Several Mongolian riders stayed in the distance, seemingly hesitating and not knowing what to do. Then, Zhong Shixin picked up the binoculars and looked at them carefully for a while, and found that they began to talk loudly. As he spoke, he seemed to be arguing again.

Zhong Shixin was calm in the tent area, away from the smelly sheep, looking at the bustle, waiting for about half an hour, those Mongolian riders still did not make a decision, but there was a loud sound of horses' hooves on the right flank.

Eighty percent of the frequency of the horse's hooves could be determined to be their own people, and sure enough, after a while, several Ming army-style helmets emerged from the top of the slope over there.

Zhong Shixin turned over and shouted: "The whole platoon has arrived, surround these Mongolian cavalry." ”

When the other scouts heard the order, they were unequivocal and immediately mounted their horses and went into action.

The Mongolian cavalry also discovered that there was a "Ming army" turning back, and immediately brought into play the essence of the "Mangu tactics", and did not hesitate to disperse in a hurry, some to the east and some to the west, in short, the intention was to disperse the "Ming army" chasing troops and create favorable conditions for each breakthrough.

Zhong Shixin rode his horse and chased closely, firmly staring at the person who had shot the most arrows before, and on the right flank, two scouts outflanked him, and they also took out their riding bows and prepared to join the attack sequence together.

The Mongolian cavalry rushed left and right, constantly changing directions, Zhong Shixin was engrossed in controlling the war horse under his crotch, constantly accelerating, bent on regaining the face lost in the round of pursuit just now.

Although the two scouts rushing over from the right flank were temporary recruits, they were also elite forces in other units that had undergone rigorous training and many actual battles, and they had very rich battlefield experience.

They knew at a glance where the fleeing Mongolian cavalry was fleeing, so they didn't need Zhong Shixin's reminder, they automatically ran over and firmly guarded the enemy's escape route.

The Mongolian cavalry was constantly forced by them, constantly adjusting the escape route, the horse speed could not be fast at all, seeing that he could not escape from the expected location, he actually made a sharp turn, turned the horse's head, and rushed head-on in the direction of Zhong Shixin, and also shot an arrow at the end.

This person has been slippery like a loach in a mud pond, which made Zhong Shixin's heart burn, and he couldn't help but want to kill this bastard with a grenade, and suddenly, he was startled when he saw the Mongolian cavalry raise his bow.

Between the lightning and flint, Zhong Shixin's iron arm of the Ming army equipped with his left hand raised his hand to protect the position of the front door, and his right hand pulled out the flintlock pistol, pulled the hammer, and put it in the position to be fired.

And the sudden light arrow easily penetrated the Ming army uniform on Zhong Shixin's body, and then, with a "ding", it hit the bulletproof steel plate equipped with the inner layer of the Ming army's mandarin duck jacket.

Zhong Shixin's upper body shook slightly, and then returned to normal, and he used his strength to stabilize his body.

The Mongolian cavalry was trying to take the opportunity to escape from the side a few steps away, and he was ready to flee east to the mountains, although it was much more difficult to return to Jinzhou from there, and it was not easy to make peace with the clansmen, but no matter how difficult it was, it was much better than being beheaded by the "Ming army" that would suddenly appear.

When the Mongolian cavalry was about to rush over, he saw that Zhong Shixin did not pick up the bow and arrow, and he was still glad in his heart, with the blessing of Immortal God, he actually let himself escape for a while, and after he went back, he must pay a good respect.

At this moment, a loud roar of "bang" was suddenly heard, and a thick smoke erupted from the right hand of the person who looked like an officer of the "Ming Army", and the mount under him was short, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

The sudden disaster gave him no time to use his superb horsemanship, and he was thrown out, and he fell so dizzy that he couldn't get up for a long time.

Zhong Shixin rode around in a small circle and shouted to the two scouts who were helping: "Good cooperation!" I'll take care of this, and I'll go back and ask you two to rub it off. ”

The two scouts reined in their horses, gave a thumbs-up to signify the deal, and immediately dispersed to the sides to help the other companions.

Zhong Shixin finished running in a circle, and as soon as he adjusted the direction, the Mongolian cavalry staggered to his feet, Zhong Shixin pinched the horse's belly hard, and the war horse immediately accelerated and rushed straight towards the Mongols.

Zhong Shixin took out the saber hanging on the side of the war horse, raised it demonstratively, and then shouted "Surrender and don't kill." ”

I don't know if the Mongolian cavalry didn't understand, or if he understood but was unwilling to surrender, in short, when Zhong Shixin finished shouting for the second time, he actually raised the riding bow in his hand slowly, and laughed contemptuously, shouting at Zhong Shixin, "Your firearm has been fought once, and you have no firearms to use." ”

“!” Zhong Shixin didn't know what kind of expression to use to express his current mood, was the Mongolian on the opposite side a bad look when he was dropped by a war horse? Don't see the saber in your hand?

However, since the other party did not listen to the warning and continued to take up arms to resist stubbornly, which also threatened his own safety, Zhong Shixin also abided by the battlefield guidelines and no longer kept his hands.

Zhong Shixin slapped the horse's ass with the side of the saber, and the war horse immediately rose up and galloped on all fours.

The Mongolian cavalryman had just picked up a feather arrow from the ground, and before he could touch the dirt on it, he heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves, and when he looked up, he saw Zhong Shixin charging with a saber, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Now, the feathered arrow in his hand was wrapped in mud, his center of gravity was unstable, and his balanced tail feathers could not keep working properly, so he made a decision in an instant, let go of his bow and arrows, and then went to draw his sword.

It's a pity that he underestimated Zhong Shixin's riding skills, and also overestimated his own physical condition after he just fell off the warhorse, and there was a sharp pain between his ribs, which slowed down his movements a little. Before he could draw out the scimitar stuck in his waist, the war horse that Zhong Shixin was riding roared past him.

Zhong Shixin was accustomed to using his right hand to draw a knife, naturally passing by the opponent's left side, and before he swept past the enemy, he leaned down and held the handle of the knife, making all the preparations, just waiting to pass by the enemy's side.

At the moment when he staggered with the enemy, Zhong Shixin's right hand waved slightly, and the saber instantly cut off the enemy's neck with the speed of the horse, and the head wearing the fur hat was carried high, and then broke away in mid-air, and most of the remaining body was splashed with bright red blood and evenly sprinkled on the ground.

Zhong Shixin, who has long been accustomed to killing people and has also experienced a near-death state, has long practiced a mentality of being unwavering, and after killing people, there is nothing else except for the evil breath that he just lost face for, only a deep sense of emptiness lingers in his heart.

However, he immediately began to self-regulate, and the political commissars preached the interests of the country, the interests of the people, all kinds of intricate terms, responsibilities, honors, etc., and these positive things instantly got him rid of that faint melancholy and returned to normal.
