Chapter 251: War in the Pocket

Sixteen Qing cavalrymen were less than 100 steps away. These Tartars were obviously taller than Wei Li and others. They were either leather armor or cotton jackets - they should have cotton armor.

Looking at the ten Wei Li and the others in front of him, these Tartar cavalry had no intention of being nervous at all. Instead, they grinned and looked at the Jiaozhou camp soldiers in front of them with confusion. In their impression, the Ming Dynasty's official army seemed to be dressed as those in front of them.

The reconnaissance cavalry in Jiaozhou camp were all leather armored, with iron leaves embedded in key parts, and helmets. It was completely different from the standard of the Ming army. Moreover, when these Tartar cavalry met a small group of Ming army, whether infantry or cavalry, as long as they watched the Tartar cavalry coming from a distance, they immediately fled far away and could not catch up.

But now this small horse team doesn't run or talk, and they're dismounted. Is it because they want to fight, and these Han people are broken?

The Tartar cavalry horses were hanging long swords and wooden spears, obviously in two ways: impact and chopping. Some people were carrying large bows. The dozen Tartars looked at Wei Li and his group indifferently. It was obvious that there were many people and few people. I haven't heard that there were many people and those with few people, especially those who dealt with the Han people.

In addition to weapons, the horses of these Qing cavalry also hung things in large and small bags, and even the two cavalrymen were behind the horses.

Although Wei Li and the others were nervously preparing, they could still hear the hoarse crying sounds from the opposite side. It was the voice of a woman. It seemed that she was a captured woman. In the usual preaching of Jiaozhou Camp, there was not much involved in what Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's army had done.

The Jurchens' actions in Liao Town were exaggerated and exaggerated. Those cruel things that were worse than beasts were exaggerated and hated even more after exaggeration. However, the things in the book were false after all. No matter how much they were told, the soldiers had a vague impression, but today they saw it directly.

Wei Li and his group gritted their teeth and lifted the muskets flat. In this situation, they could not rush hard, so they could only wait for the other party to come and touch them. Wei Li whispered:

"Brothers, today my brother has dragged you down. If you meet underground in the future, I will apologize to you."

"Bah, Wei Tou, you can't say good things. The stewed mutton white flour cake in Fengmeng Town is good. When we go back, Wei Tou will have a full meal."

"That's right, you have to pay for it!"

The Tartars on the other side looked at the Han people who were unretreated on the other side, and were puzzled. The few whispered each other and burst into laughter. The two carrying people pulled the rope away and threw the people to the ground. After a few more shouts, the Qing cavalry took out their weapons one after another.

In this short preparation time, we can see that the combat quality of the Qing army was indeed high. Although they did not take the enemy seriously and their own side really had an advantage, these Tartar cavalry still aligned the formation and placed the wooden spear flat. The back row dropped the wooden spear and drew out the knife and axe.

Wei Li still didn't move. The apologies and teasing just now made everyone feel relaxed. The worst result was death in battle. Jiaozhou Camp was extremely generous in the soldiers who died in battle. What else were they afraid of? Everyone kept blowing the fire rope to prevent the fire from extinguishing.

The sky was dim and the smoke was blocked by gunpowder, and the vision was extremely poor. Except for the man who rushed to the front, slashing the Jiaozhou camp soldiers who could not dodge, the rest of the people quickly dodged.

The Tartars who fell to the ground because of the horses were disturbed, all got up in a daze. Knowing that this scene was a narrow encounter, they didn't care about anything else and cursed and pulled out their weapons.

The six Tartar cavalry who were still on the horse just found the target, but found that the other party rushed over. While secretly cursing the other party for death, they turned around and wanted to slash them with a knife. However, the other party didn't care about the long sword he slashed from above, but he just stabbed it with a force.

Before the knife was cut, I felt a coldness between my chest and abdomen, and then there was a piercing pain. A four-foot short spear pierced straight through the gap between my ribs. The short spear was pulled back from the sting. The Tatar cavalry felt that the raised arms were not strong at all. He roared and fell from his horse.

Straight stabs are straight-line distances, which always save time than the arc distance of chopping. On the battlefield, this little time is enough to determine life and death.

Not only the people were stabbed by the short spear, but also horses stood up there and threw the knight who was attacking on his back.

In just two rounds, the horses neighed and the cavalry howled. Eleven people had died here. Wei Liping held a short spear and opened the slash of the Tartars in front of him. He stepped forward and shouted loudly. The short spear in his hand pierced into the opponent's throat. He pulled out the short spear and swayed left and right. Seeing that the Qing army had almost stood up, two of them had already gotten on the horse.

Wei Li knew that he could not fight, so he shouted at the top of his throat:

"Get on the horse! Twist!"

Compared with the Tartar cavalry who fought each other, the horse soldiers of Jiaozhou camp have an advantage. In their daily training, they pay great attention to their coordination. Now they are standing on the same line. After Wei Li's order, the soldiers all made an attacking posture, forcing the other party back a few steps, then turned around and ran towards the horse.

The Tartar cavalry were a little confused during the battle just now. They didn't expect the opponent to play like this, and their combat skills were so powerful. They just shouted that they fought to the death, but found that the opponent turned around and ran away. In amazement, they didn't chase him immediately.

When they realized that Wei Li and his group had already boarded the horse. The soldier who was a horse stake had turned the horse over. The Tartar soldiers shouted and waved their weapons to catch up. Wei Li had already started to start the horse. Just now, the horses were resting here for a short time. They were full of horsepower, so they naturally ran fast.

After chasing for a few steps, I saw that I couldn't catch up anymore. The Tartar cavalry stopped dejectedly. Eight of them died and only four of them died. When I went back, it was a joke.

The Qing army's fixed thinking pattern was that the Ming army fled, which was common sense, and it must have been gone without a trace.

Wei Li and his team ran for more than ten steps, and turned around in a circle. Wei Liping held a short spear and stared at the Tartars with bloodshot eyes. He grabbed the horse and shouted with a neigh:

"Kill! Kill them all!"
