Chapter 5 Sisters, look at the internal organs and avoid thunder
Although there were two Ming soldiers surrounding them twenty or thirty steps away, that was already a secondary problem. The sturdy Ming soldier holding a broadsword was the biggest trouble the three Tartars had to deal with.
The other two flagmen had also noticed the sudden change here, and when Badu Bashiku gave the order, they changed the direction of their bows and arrows. Fearing that they would hit Bashiku, the two men took aim first and then hurriedly gathered their strength to shoot.
The Tatars’ riding and archery skills were so strong that both arrows hit Li Hao, piercing his body like porcupine quills.
But it did not affect the centurion's actions at all. After Li Hao chopped the first Tartar into two pieces, he raised the back of his knife to block the slash from Batu's waist knife.
"Lacha!" Although it was a hasty move after his men were chopped, Ba Tu was able to do Bashiku, which showed that he had some strength. He believed that ordinary Ming soldiers could not withstand this slash. He did not expect that the sturdy Ming soldier in front of him only used a block, which made his palm hurt and he almost couldn't hold the knife.
"What's the dog's name?"
Li Hao held the knife with both hands and chopped down diagonally along the gap between the throat guard and the shoulder pad. In order to avoid the area of the heart guard, this knife almost cut Eight Rabbit vertically.
The two halves of the body of this Boshiku paused for a few seconds, then fell to the ground on their respective sides. The half with the head fell on the side of the two surviving Tatars. Since the head and neck were not destroyed quickly, this Eight Rabbit was still breathing, but he was breathing more from the exhalation than from the intake. The shock, fear and confusion on his face were reflected in the eyes of the two Tatars.
"Batoboshiku~"
The two flagmen were so grief-stricken that they even stopped putting arrows on their hands.
Under the Eight Banners system, rewards were real rewards and punishments were real punishments. Masters above the rank of Niulu Ezhen would lose their estates, cattle, and other property if they were not successful in battle. A low-ranking leader like Bashiku would be dismissed from his position if one or two of his bannermen died in battle while leading troops.
If an ordinary bannerman had died in battle with his Ezhen or Boshiku, his property would most likely have been confiscated and his status as an armored man would have been revoked, which would have been a very tragic end.
Shhh~
The two flag bearers did not dare to retreat, so they had to take advantage of the opportunity when the fierce Ming soldiers were slowing down to rein in their horses and attack backwards. One of the flag bearers picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew it hard, hoping that Bayala would arrive soon.
With Gushan Ezhen's Goshaha around, the punishment can at least be less. If the responsibility of dividing the troops can be pushed onto Goshaha, the two flagmen may only have their property fined, and Master Ezhen will allow them to continue wearing armor and making meritorious contributions.
"Sister, take a look at the internal organs. Such fragile internal organs must be protected from lightning!"
Li Hao admired his masterpiece with satisfaction. The Tartar's large intestine and stomach that was cut in half were still moving, and his face had purple and red bloodshot due to lack of oxygen supply. It was obvious that the Tartar would not believe that he died like this until his death.
Liu Maocai, Zhu Yingtai and Yang Shigong had already rushed up, and together with Li Tianyang and Gou Quanzhong, the five servants chased the two Tartars who were attacking from behind.
The flagmen who were sent out as vanguard scouts were naturally of good minds. The death of the small leader only frightened them, but they were far from losing their minds. Therefore, while attacking from behind, they twisted their bodies and drew their bows to shoot arrows at the Ming army chasing them, intending to delay the Ming soldiers' pursuit.
……
"Damn it, they can't even do a simple encirclement."
After hearing the whistle for help, Bayala was very angry. The Ming army convoy in front was only four or five hundred steps away from him. He could just charge forward and start the fight, but he didn't expect that those four pieces of trash would make a mistake.
But he couldn't just ignore it. If a flag soldier was injured, it would be fine, but if a flag soldier died, it would be a big deal. As a person trusted by Beile Gushan, he let Ezhen's Jiaqi die. After returning, he would have to pay out some of the family property.
Ezhen means the master. In the Eight Banners system, the Niulu who manages 300 men is the lowest level of master. Above them are Jiala Ezhen who manages five Niulu and Gushan Ezhen who manages five Jiala. In theory, the men and the Jiaqi, which is drawn from three men, are the private property of each Ezhen.
He led four A-flags to investigate military intelligence, but failed to complete the mission and lost men. He will be severely punished when he returns.
However, Gushan'ezhen is not a stubborn person. As long as the main responsibility is not on his side and he makes timely remedial measures, the punishment can be reduced.
Even the elite servants under the general of the Ming Kingdom could not have shot and killed the elite Jiaqi in just one or two encounters, so he thought that the four might have encountered an ambush and could not complete the interception, so he sent out a whistle to warn them. Thinking about the possible situations and rewards and punishments after the battle, Bayala turned around with his two horses and galloped towards the whistle.
The mighty warhorse under his crotch swung its four hooves wildly, and the force of the horse's hooves contacting the frozen ground was transmitted to him, causing Bayala to gradually regain his confidence, but also a little more aggressive.
If there were Ming soldiers, he would shoot them first and then kill them. If those armored flags made mistakes, he would reward each of the four men with a whip.
The two fleeing flagmen heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the left, so they made a big circle and turned towards the reinforcements.
"Fensi, where is your Boshiku? How dare you two abandon Boshiku and run for your lives? I must tell Gushan Ezhen about everything that happened here."
After Bayala saw the situation clearly, he drew his bow and shot an arrow while quickly disassociating himself from the matter.
Li Hao, who was riding a horse and chasing the two flagmen, leaned over the horse's back and avoided the flat shot.
Then he stood up and asked Gou Quanzhong, "What does feces silk mean?"
"It means waste in the Tartar language. The Jiannu should have learned this word from the Fishskin Tartars. It is not something they have themselves."
While chasing the Tartars, Gou Quanzhong and others were also shooting arrows in return, but because they were moving quickly, neither side hit the enemy, and only Li Hao was hit by two arrows.
Fish-skin Tatars is a general term used by the people of the Ming Dynasty to refer to the fishing, pastoral, farming and hunting peoples north of Jianzhou. They are also called Deer-skin Tatars and Wild Jurchens. They are not of the same origin as Nurhaci's Jianzhou Jurchens. Their main representatives are the three Solon tribes, namely the Ewenki, Oroqen and Daur.
Please note that the Hezhe people are a mixture of the Oroqen, Jianzhou Jurchen, Han Chinese and Mongolian peoples. They were formed in the Qing Dynasty. There was no such term as Hezhe people in the Ming Dynasty. The ancestors of this group of Tartars, the Hezhe people, were all included in the wild Jurchens and did not have a separate name.
Before the rebellion of Jianzhou Zuowei, the Solon tribe had a very harmonious relationship with the Ming Dynasty. They regularly went south to pay tribute in exchange for daily necessities such as pots and quilts. Later, the tribute route between the Solon tribe and the Ming Dynasty was blocked by the Later Jin Dynasty. The Solon leader, Lao Bomubogor, had the backbone to suspend the tribute and refused to submit to the Later Jin Dynasty.
When Xiao Bomubogor took charge of the Solon tribe, he could no longer hold on and went to Shenyang to pay tribute to Huang Taiji twice. Then the Later Jin and the Solon tribe broke up completely and the two sides started fighting. Xiao Bomubogor gathered 6,000 troops and fought a desperate battle with Huang Taiji. After more than 6,900 people of the Solon tribe were captured, Xiao Bo surrendered.
After that, Xiao Bo rebelled twice more, which provided the Later Jin with a perfect excuse to capture the Sauron soldiers.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the Solon tribe completely became the source of troops from outside the Great Wall for the Eight Banners. Whenever there was a major war, they would be captured by the Qing government to fight. Their lives were harder than those of wild boars, and they had to do more work than wild boars. They were a thoroughly exploited ethnic group.
Closer to home.
The two bannermen joined Bayala during the movement. Li Hao's side was divided into two waves, forming an obtuse triangle with the position of the Tatars, with three Tatars at the obtuse angle.
Both sides stopped shooting temporarily. After all, arrows were limited, and they would only need to use bows and arrows to inflict effective damage before getting into close combat.
"Hey man, do you dare to come out and fight me?" Bayala challenged in unclear Chinese.
He had learned from the flag soldiers that all of his own casualties were caused by the red-armored Ming soldier, so he thought of luring him into battle, shooting him to death first and then dealing with the remaining Ming soldiers.
"Who wants to fight with you?" After filling his short three-barreled gun with gunpowder, Li Hao fired a shot at him.
