Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Cao Rong was young. His father, Cao Xiyuan, accompanied the regent Dorgon to fight in the South and the North since he was a child. {166 No pop-up window in the library} Now that the elder brother has a son and he has a nephew, Cao Rong is of course extremely happy. Ever since I learned the news, I have been thinking about being able to return to the capital to visit my little nephew early, and by the way, I also want to show some filial piety under my father's knees.

The ancestral home of the Cao family is Liaoyang. After speaking, the ancestor was Cao Bin, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty. The distant ancestor Cao Jun was the commander of Shenyang Zhongwei in the Ming Dynasty. inherited. Now, the Cao family is no longer guarding for the Ming Dynasty, but has become a heroic servant who worked for the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Cao Rong didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the family's change from the regent's palace coat to the emperor's house coat. Instead, he was complacent, because the coat is a servant, and as a servant, of course, there is nothing better than doing it for the emperor. Slaves, and it is the honor of the descendants to be slaves to the emperor.

How can there be any glory in the world that is more fortunate than the descendants who serve as servants to the emperor, who come with face, and who come with pride?

The elder brother Cao Xi is the second-class bodyguard in the palace. This is a good job to see the emperor every day. Cao Rong is very envious, so he also wants to enter the palace. Therefore, since he went south with the general Zhao Butai, he has been quite concerned. Work hard. However, this future does not depend on hard work alone, but also depends on luck. Since going south, the Ming army in Yunnan and Guizhou has not been beaten. Often, before the Han army and the Manchu army are dispatched, the green battalion in front of them is playing a triumphant song. So until now, the credit accumulated in Cao Rong's name has not half a future. In the Qing Dynasty, military merit was based on the future. Half of the future was the lowest title, Tusha Lahafan. In Chinese, it was called Yunqiwei. With half a future ahead, plus being a coat-dresser from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, entering the palace as a guard of the Han army is definitely a sure thing. The two brothers entered the palace together as guards, and coupled with their father's military exploits, it was difficult for the Cao family to be underdeveloped.

Cao Rong wanted to make meritorious deeds, and he thought about half of his future, so he followed up and invited the mission of the frontman for exploring horses. Now, he is observing the Ming army cavalry on the opposite side. Seeing that they don't run, don't talk, and dismount to form an array, he can't help but wonder, are these Han people's brains broken?

Cao Rong was not afraid of the Ming army cavalry on the opposite side. When he was fighting against the Ming army infantry with the banner of "Qi", he was also confused and ran with the defeated soldiers, but these cavalry in front of him were obviously not the same. That Ming army held weapons similar to his own, so he didn't think the opponent was very difficult to fight, and he looked down on the Ming army on the opposite side, thinking that they were not worthy of being called cavalry.

Cao Rong's men, the Han army cavalry from Liaodong, had the same idea as their Zuo Ling. Their horses had long knives and cavalry spears, which were ready to be used for rushing and slashing. There are also people with big bows on their backs, and looking at their skillful attitude in taking the bow, they know that they are all first-class shooters. From top to bottom, the Qing army looked down on Wei Zhong's group on the opposite side, but they didn't know that the Ming army on the opposite side didn't look down on them at all.

"The two Tartars are really pretending to be uncles, and I don't think about how many heads they have for us to cut off." A soldier from the Chaozhou regiment next to Wei Zhong saw that the Qing army on the opposite side seemed to despise them, and he couldn't help laughing. a sound.

"Two Tartars are also Tartars. The brothers are all cheered up. The other party is no less than us. When we fight, we should be more accurate, but we can't discount it."

"Wu San, you and Er Zhang will go back and report immediately. Since the Qing troops are here, their brigade must be behind. Send the news back and let the town general know."

While reminding his subordinates not to take it lightly, Wei Zhong arranged for the two to go back to report the letter. After all, their main task was not to fight against the Qing army, but to pass on information. Now, there are Qing troops visiting horses here in Songjiawolou, but Brigade C is still missing. That only means that Brigade C is probably over for one thing, and the brigade of the Qing army is behind.

Seeing that there were two Ming troops running back on the opposite side, and there were no other Ming troops around, Cao Rong also sent someone to pass the news back and issued an attack order. A group of Qing troops immediately aligned their formations, leveled their spears, carried bows and arrows, and drew swords and sabers to prepare for a charge.

The Ming cavalry team under the command of Wei Zhong was also preparing to fight. Although they did not look down on the two Tartars, the opponent was also cavalry after all, and the number of the two sides was not much different, so there would definitely be casualties in a real fight. However, the men of this cavalry team are usually raised by the town general Zhao Ziqiang as a direct line of personal soldiers, and they are similar to the personal soldiers raised by other general soldiers of the Ming army, and they are considered dead soldiers. They eat and drink food on weekdays. The idea is that they will be able to sacrifice their lives. Most of these people have deep habits of rivers and lakes. They will not show their timidity. Military family members are given preferential treatment, and they have no reason not to work hard.

Soon, the Qing army moved.

As Cao Rong shouted loudly, the Qing army's horses began to advance, and the speed of the horses gradually increased. It was in Cao Rong's mind that the Ming army gave up rushing to kill him immediately, and if he really wanted to hedge, there would be no less damage. He ordered his subordinates to use horses to gradually approach the Ming army, trying to cause psychological pressure on the opponent, so that the Ming army with fire guns would play the first round outside the range, and then the Qing army's horses quickly accelerated to charge, and they could defeat the Ming army in one stroke. This move, no matter where it was in the past, was tried and tested by the Qing soldiers.

However, the Qing army's horses rushed over 30 paces, and the Ming army on the opposite side remained still there, which made the Qing army's cavalry feel that something was wrong, but they could no longer think about it. The speed of the horses under their crotch The trend is still accelerating.

Cao Rong, out of caution, gave a loud command: "Take another twenty paces, if the firearms on the opposite side don't shoot, let's spread out to both sides!" The horses turned in the galloping motion, only the cavalry with very good riding skills can do this. , As for the distance from the Ming army forty paces or fifty paces, it is judged by experience. According to previous experience, the Ming army's ground fire cannon can kill at most within fifty paces. As long as it is outside this distance, it doesn't matter if it hits.

Although the Qing army had only a few dozen people, dozens of horses rushed forward at the same time, and the momentum was amazing. According to common sense, the Ming army on the opposite side should have fired fire guns in panic, but they just held back and did not hit. The horses of the Qing army's cavalry were actually slowing down. The Qing soldiers on the horse were all controlling the speed of the horses and preparing to turn at fifty paces. The speed could not be so fast, otherwise it would be difficult to turn. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com On the battlefield, no one would take their own life seriously, and no one would like to be a tragic ghost.

It was almost fifty paces away. Cao Rong could see that the Ming army on the opposite side had put the firearms one by one on the firearms. He was sure that as long as the other party finished this round of firearms, they would be able to rush over and slaughter them cleanly. By the way I left two more questions to ask, where did the Ming army who played the banner of "Qi" go.

"boom!"

More than 30 fire cannons were fired, and in this quiet and empty dusk, they sounded extraordinarily loud, and the heavier lead bullets whistled and flew out. The result of a salvo was that sixteen Qing soldiers were knocked down from their horses. The smoke from the black gunpowder after it burned, and the loud noise when the gun was fired, frightened the horses. Except for the horses on both sides that were about to slow down, the rest of the Qing army's horses were all neighing and twisting. Many people were thrown off their horses by surprise, or fell to the ground with the horses. The gunpowder smoke had not yet dissipated, and more than a dozen Qing cavalrymen who had not been affected by it rushed over, but because of the disturbance just now, it was no longer possible to talk about the speed, and it was impossible to talk about the impact of the horses, but it was still condescending.

The sky was dim, the smoke was obscured, and the line of sight was extremely poor. Except for the long sword of the Qing soldier who rushed at the front, and hit a soldier of the Ming army who could not dodge, the rest of the people quickly avoided. Those Qing soldiers who fell to the ground because the horses were disturbed also crawled up in a daze, knowing that this scene was a narrow road meeting, and they didn't care about anything else, they scolded and pulled out their weapons and went forward to chop. More than 30 Qing cavalrymen who were still on horseback, just found their target, but found that the Ming army on the opposite side was charging straight ahead with weapons. The Qing soldiers secretly scolded the opponent for courting death, and turned around and took the knife to chop down, but the Ming army on the other side ignored the long knife he chopped down from a high place, and just stabbed it diagonally with force.
