Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 133 Ambush Tong Mengchun

Having received Yue Qijie's order before, Rogge and the soldiers and civilians from ten miles and eight townships rushed to the vicinity of the official road, ready to block them. Rogge and his family were worried that they were hungry, thirsty, and had no strength to fight, so they picked them up. Give them pancakes and water, and be ready to do logistical work for them at any time.

Rogge gave them the horse he got from killing the Eight Banners soldiers just now and hid it in the grove.

"Don't worry, brother, everyone is hidden. There are mounds in the woods. Even if we die, the tartars won't go in and look at them." The black-faced man assured, patting his chest.

In fact, he didn't know what the Tartars would do. Once on the battlefield, people's lives could not be decided by themselves. He couldn't even control his own destiny, let alone those women and children.

"Well, that's good." Roger said sullenly.

"Everyone, don't make a sound, hide everything well, don't let the dog tartar see it."

It was almost dusk at this time, the light was dim, and the sun was setting. As long as Rogge and the others hid better, even if there were too many of them, the Eight Banners marching on the road would not be able to find them.

"By the way, I asked you to send someone to report to Mr. Yue, who did you send?" Rogge remembered a very important matter, so he said to the black-faced man again.

"I found a child. As you know, the child runs fast and disappears after a while." The black-faced man said to Rogge. In fact, the reason why he asked a child to report the letter was to reduce the fighting power. drain.

"It's nonsense for the child to succeed." Rogge said angrily when he heard this.

Just when he was about to complain a few more words, Fu Gui patted him on the shoulder suddenly, telling him not to make a sound.

"Someone is coming." Fugui pointed to the distance, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes was getting closer and closer to them.

On the official road, an almost endless troop of cavalry was walking wearily. Only some people on the periphery of the team were still wearing armor, and most of them had already taken off their cotton armor due to fatigue.

They were the Eight Banners Army led by Tong Mengchun and the First Battalion of the Green Battalion Commander-in-Chief.

Just when they were about to approach the place where Rogge and the others were ambush, Tong Mengchun suddenly ordered them to stop, "Stop!"

"What's the matter? My lord." Ergen asked beside Tong Mengchun.

"Didn't you smell it? It's the smell of blood. There is blood in the air. There was a battle here." Tong Mengchun was really experienced, and he could smell the smell of blood in the air.

In fact, this was not honed in the war, but the ability he acquired in his hometown of Baishan Heishui, when he went hunting in the mountains when he had nothing to do.

You must know that the mountains and fields are very large, but there are not many prey. If you want to successfully hunt prey, it does not mean that you have great strength and high damage to animals.

For example, a deer, no matter how strong you are, it would be foolish to kill it with one arrow.

At this time, experienced hunters are required to start tracking, and follow the blood trail or the smell of blood all the way to find the location of the prey. Only in this way can the hunter no longer starve to death in the ice and snow.

"It seems to be." Ergen's growth is similar to that of Tong Mengchun, but he is not as good as Tong Mengchun, so he has less experience in this aspect than him.

"Ergen, you take your troops to dismount immediately and prepare for battle." Tong Mengchun believed that there had been a battle here, and then felt that there must be some unknown danger waiting for him here.

"Okay." Ergen was also unambiguous, and when he heard Tong Mengchun's order, he agreed without saying a word.

"Get off my horse and put on my armor, and then rush to the front." Tong Mengchun ran to the back of the team and ordered to his subordinates.

A piece of armor weighs more than ten kilograms at the lightest, and an elite army like the Eight Banners soldiers always wears double armor, so it weighs more than forty kilograms.

As long as people with a normal mind don't wear clothes all the time, it would be too much of a burden on the body.

If you wear it all the time, you may have no strength to fight when you march to the battlefield.

"They seem to have spotted us." Through the reeds, Fugui saw Tong Mengchun standing still and the endless cavalry behind him.

"What to do?" He was asking Roger for an idea.

Although Fugui is physically strong and proficient in martial arts, he is no worse than Rogge, who was born in the frontier army, but because he was born as a servant, he hardly has the ability and consciousness to think independently.

He doesn't need these things, he just needs to obey his master's instructions.

But now that his master, Ji Guangxiu, was dead, he had no choice but to listen to Rogge.

"At this time, we can only fight. Since most of them haven't got armor yet, we just need to wait for a while until the governor and the emperor arrive."

Although it was easy to say, Rogge's hand holding the handle of the ax couldn't stop sweating.

"Brothers, kill the Tartars with me!"

Suddenly, Rogge stood up from the ravine. He raised his arms and shouted, raised his big axe, and jumped onto the road with one stride.

Followed by Fugui, a group of Rogge's brothers, and even more strong men from the surrounding villages came to support them. They were armed with broken farm tools, but they had an overwhelming momentum.

The horse under Tong Mengchun's crotch suddenly saw someone jumping in front of him with a huge weapon. He was startled and neighed and lifted his front hooves into the air.

"Kill these bandits." Tong Mengchun didn't expect that Rogge and the others would dare to jump out, and quickly ordered the soldiers behind him to come up and kill them.

It's a pity that Tong Mengchun couldn't wait for the Eight Banners behind him to ride forward, so Rogge chopped off Tong Mengchun's BMW's legs with the step ax in his hand.

"I'm fucked." The horse's legs were cut off, and it lost its balance. Tong Mengchun also fell off the horse's back, and fell a dog gnawing shit.

But just when Rogge was about to kill him with an ax when he was sick, Tong Mengchun suddenly rolled to avoid the sharp edge of the axe.

Seeing the deep marks left by Rogge's ax on the ground, Tong Mengchun felt terrified, and thought, if the ax hit him just now, it would not be good to wear a few armors.

"Erzhen, are you okay?" Echina saw that his forehead was in danger, so he rushed over and dragged him to the rear.

"Shut up, idiot, kill these two-legged sheep for me."

Eqina originally thought that he would be greeted by Tong Mengchun's praise and appointment as an official to make a wish, but he never expected that Tong Mengchun would scold him head and face when he came up.

"Yes, Ezhen." Although he felt resentment for Tong Mengchun's actions, but in the relatively strict discipline of the Eight Banners, Echina could only obey Tong Mengchun's orders.
