Chapter one hundred and seventy-seven: a flash
Huang Yi looked through the branches to see how many Houjin troops were coming.
With his actual age and rich experience, it is impossible for him to be impulsive, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be careless about the beginning and the end.
If the enemy came one to two hundred, he would order a rapid retreat.
If there are not many enemies, but the number is three times your own, then shoot a few and then retreat.
The enemy has been chasing for so long, and their physical strength is definitely not as good as that of Huang Yi, Geng Qi, etc.
The sudden long-range attack will also cause the enemy to panic. By the time they figure out the situation before pursuing them, Huang Yi and others will have already disappeared.
Moreover, Huang Yi could turn around and shoot him on the way to retreat, forcing the pursuers to slow down.
The forest is lush and green, with luxuriant branches and leaves. It is impossible to throw arrows. Only direct shooting can hit.
"Ouch!" A Ming soldier holding a leather shield was shot in the face and fell down with a scream.
"Master, run quickly, we'll hold you back for a while!"
"I, I, I really can't run anymore!"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Geng Qi admitted it and suddenly jumped out and shouted:
"Why are you running? There are less than ten real slaves there, and the rest are just slave soldiers. Turn around and kill the enemy!"
Huang Yi liked this kind of combat mode with natural bunkers the most. He didn't say a word, but pulled the trigger and shot a crossbow arrow and immediately hid behind a tree to reload.
Bi Daxi had been ready for a long time. When Huang Yi shot the second slave, he had already shot four arrows, all at close range and without any miss.
Of course, Huang Yi targeted Jiannu. Bi Daxi, Geng Qi and others also shot Jiannu immediately. After a while, four Jiannu fell down and three were injured.
The traitors immediately screamed: "If there is an ambush, retreat immediately!" Sayazi ran away.
After a while, a stiff-toned voice sounded in Chinese: "Anyone who shrinks from the battle will be killed without mercy. I will charge them all!"
"No, there are still Jiannu behind, we have to run deeper into the forest quickly!"
Geng Qi previously discovered that more than 20 Hou Jin troops were chasing seven or eight Ming troops, but found that more than half of the Hou Jin troops were not real slaves but Han troops.
I feel that a sudden attack on our side should be a sure win.
Now that I knew there were more Jian slaves coming, I immediately realized the danger and quickly shouted for everyone to get away.
Huang Yi said: "We can't ignore death and retreat together with those Ming army brothers!"
He was very strong, and with a few strides he came to the side of the Ming army general and dragged him away.
"Thank you, thank you brother! If you can escape from danger today, you will be rewarded generously!"
Although he was dragging a person, it basically did not affect Huang Yi's ability to walk quickly. He asked: "Where are you injured?"
"I'm not hurt, I'm just too tired to run!"
"Uh! You are a great general, why are you so cowardly!"
A servant scolded: "How dare you! How can you be so unreasonable to my general?"
Geng Qi became angry and said: "Who are you? You dare to be disrespectful to my family. Believe it or not, I will kill you immediately?"
The servant couldn't tell Huang Yi's identity, but he could see that Geng Qi was a mid-level military attaché, with a higher rank than him, so he immediately smiled apologetically and said:
"I don't know that he is an adult. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
How could Huang Yi care about the attitude of a servant and asked: "Don't you know the general's surname?"
"My officer, Wu Xiang, is currently the deputy general of Jinzhou!"
"Ah?" Huang Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He originally made up his mind to kill Wu Sangui, but who knew that he met his father and saved him easily.
What is this?
Of course Huang Yi knew Wu Xiang in history.
Although this man was worthless, he did not surrender to become a slave and become a traitor, nor did he betray and surrender to Li Zicheng. In the end, he was beheaded by Li Zicheng.
"Why didn't you see your son Wu Sangui?"
Wu Xiang knew that Geng Qi was a general, and of course realized that Huang Yi's official position was higher, so he asked doubtfully: "The general knows Quan Zi?"
"I've seen it from a distance, and there are two to three hundred armored servants under his command!"
"Alas! It's because Sangui took almost all the servants away that I escaped in such an embarrassing manner!"
"Oh! That's it!"
"What is the general's surname?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to remember that it was Geng Zhanghua, the guerrilla general of Governor Xuanda's Model Camp, who came to my aid!"
"Master Geng's third son, I have heard of him for a long time! Could it be that you are the one?"
"No, but it's almost the same! Well, now is not the time to chat. Since you can't run, you might as well stop running.
Hide behind that big tree and watch carefully, and see how we wait for Xuan Dajun to kill the Jian slaves who dare to pursue them!"
"The number of the Hou Jin army is several times that of mine, no, no!"
"It doesn't matter, you can also run deep into the forest alone, and let us break up the rear!"
Wu Xiang was tall and tall, and wore mountain armor. He weighed much more than two hundred pounds. The woods were getting denser and denser, and it was getting harder and harder to walk. It would be a waste of energy to drag him along.
So after running for more than a mile, Huang Yi saw a dozen or twenty horses in front of him, and felt that there were not many pursuers behind him. Huang Yi decided not to run, but to deal with the pursuers on the spot.
He asked Geng Qi and Bi Daxi to place the two injured servants they rescued behind the big tree. He ordered Zhang Dong to call the companions who were leading the horses first, and said briefly and concisely to the remaining four servants who were still capable of fighting:
"The forest is very big, and there are not many slaves. If you dare to fight with the pursuers, you have a chance to win! How about, let's show your attitude!"
With the master of the family behind him, how can the servants retreat? Moreover, most of the military commander's servants are selected from good families with outstanding martial arts skills, and they are not lacking in combat effectiveness.
The four of them said in unison: "Fuck it! I'm willing to listen to the adults' instructions!"
Of the fourteen men on his side, except Zhang Dong, who cannot fight in close combat, the rest are fierce men. Huang Yi is confident in ambushing his pursuers.
After some arrangements, he once again took the lead and ran forward directly holding the crossbow and dodged past.
This is not an overflow of personal heroism, but rather an understanding that as long as you dodge quickly and don't get hit by flying axes, iron bones, etc., you won't be hurt by a few feather arrows at all.
In order to bring out the effect of an ambush, Huang Yi decided to attract the pursuing Hou Jin army to the best position.
The few Jiannu who were searching and advancing were also very careful. Of course they knew the principle of not entering in the woods, and they knew that they could easily be plotted by the enemy.
So they held up their leather shields to cover each other and walked very slowly.
Seeing the figure in front of him, he hid behind a big tree, and a Jiannu immediately shouted. Unfortunately, the words he spoke were not in Chinese, and Huang Yi couldn't understand him.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect him from shooting one.
"Ah!" With a scream, a Jiannu who looked around with his eyes exposed from behind the shield was shot in the left eye and fell to the ground.
A servant of Wu Xiang who was hiding behind a tree and covering his face with a branch saw Huang Yi killing a real slave with one move through the leaves, and whispered:
Chapter completed!
