Chapter 70: Victory in the first battle

Wu Zheng felt that his luck was getting better.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly, no, unexpectedly lucky.

In the early morning of the next day, shortly after Li Ruhai took his men out of Shining Town, he sent scouts to the west came back to report that there were only about 300 Tartar cavalry coming to Shining Town. At this time, they had reached the Three Realms, about fifty or sixty miles away from Shining Town.

Although I don’t know why there are so few Tartars, and I don’t know where the Tartars who divided their troops went?

But for Wu Zheng, if you do your duty well, you will already be Amitabha.

The so-called "not in his position" does not plan his own affairs.

When the sky falls, there should be a tall man to push it.

So Wu Zheng quickly ordered to take their place and prepare to face the enemy.

It was cloudy and the sky that should have been bright was dark.

After waiting for half an hour, the Tartars still didn't come.

Everyone was anxious.

This is like having enough energy and having no place to exert force, and it feels uncomfortable to hold it in.

Especially the gangsters on the roof were already restless.

Wu Zheng was also worried that something might happen to Li Ruhai, so he handed over the command to Chen Sheng and went to the Chenghuang Temple in the south of the street.

Lie on the roof of the City God Temple, looking at the official road to the west, where there was no one.

Wu Zheng was really worried. It was five or sixty miles away, and at the speed of a cavalry, half an hour should have arrived.

Did something really happen?

Just when Wu Zheng was thinking about everything and his heart was growing, Xiao Anzi beside him said anxiously: "Young Master, here you are here!"

Wu Zheng quickly looked up and found that there were several black dots appearing in the official road in the distance, and the black dots became bigger and bigger.

"Quickly, go back and tell everyone to prepare, the Tartars are here."

Wu Zheng stared at him intently. At this moment, Wu Zheng suddenly realized that he was no longer nervous, and instead felt a little expectant in his heart.

Maybe it was because I had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Li Ruhai's figure walking clearly, Wu Zheng quietly slid down the roof and ran towards the North County Government.

....

Shen Zhiyuan's palm was filled with sweat.

He was very nervous.

It's the first time I've led a soldier.

But Shen Zhiyuan complained to Wu Zheng in his heart, and agreed to lead the troops. This is great. His first command in his life, he has such a group of gangsters under his command.

The bad-hearted Wu Zheng, Shen Zhiyuan complained angrily.

The well-trained crossbowman in the ward, lying on the roof with breath, staring at the Tartar cavalry less than a few feet away from him, and quickly passed under his eyes and nose.

The speed of the Tartar cavalry is not fast, but in fact, it can't be faster even if you want to.

Shining Street is too narrow, at most three riders side by side, and one more rider will collide with each other.

There was no other sound in the whole street except for the scattered sound of horse hooves.

A dozen Tartars vanguards entered Shining Street, galloped forward for a mile, then stopped, looked around casually, and then several cavalrymen turned their horses and went back to report the news.

Wu Zheng, who peeked through the cracks in the yamen gate, looked at Chen Sheng with admiration, feeling secretly glad.

Fortunately, Chen Sheng reminded that he only dug half of the street to the north and did not dig holes on the entire street.

Chen Sheng reminded him very promptly. He expected that before entering Shining Street, the Tartars would definitely send scouts to reconnaissance.

If the pit is discovered early, it will cause the Tartars to be alert and it will be difficult to introduce them to the streets.

The Tartars finally entered the streets.

The dense figures of people made Wu Zheng's eyes not blink.

Behind him, the soldiers beside him tightened the hilt of the knife in their hands.

....

The speed of the Tartar cavalry was significantly accelerated. Facing such an empty street, anyone who led the troops would be alert.

Although there was the surrender of the magistrate of Shangyu County, the Tartars never easily believed in the Ming people.

Quick pass is the most correct way to deal with it.

The sound of horse hooves resounded throughout Shining Street, and not long after, the Tartar cavalry crossed half of the street.

There was a pitfall ahead.

Wu Zheng's heart suddenly rose.

Due to the real nature of the street, each trap is not big. If the Tartars have realized it, they can just leap over as long as they ride a horse.

Only when you are unprepared and the front horse falls into a pit can the rear horse run into it.

But at this moment, an unexpected situation happened.

Among the hundreds of gangsters who were temporarily recruited, a bird man couldn't hold back his nervousness and suddenly shouted and smashed the stone in his hand.

"Straight up his X bastard!"

Wu Zheng yelled loudly, and he was so surprised that he wanted to kill someone because of this unexpected blow.

The distance is too far to respond at all.

Wu Zheng could only kick open the yamen gate, holding a steel knife in his hand and shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

More than 300 people, led by Wu Zheng, Chen Sheng and Chi Erhan, charged south.

The sudden throw of the gangster made the Tartars realize that there was an ambush.

Roars kept ringing.

When the Tartar vanguard heard a sudden change, he ignored the front and turned his mind to the roofs on both sides.

There are also unexpected defeats.

As the vanguard's horses fell into the pit, the cavalry behind continued to strike forward.

For a moment, the scene seemed extremely chaotic.

The people who were ambushing the shops on both sides quickly bolted the streets with bamboo.

So in the crisp sound of "Pilibala", Tartars kept falling from their horses.

On the roof, the crossbowmen in the garrison responded quickly and immediately launched, filling the Tartar cavalry halfway up with arrows.

Shen Zhiyuan kicked the damn gangster down with one kick.

Then he ordered the attack loudly.

Countless stones, wooden sticks, and turbulent tanks greeted the enemies in the street with arrows.

This scene was indeed terrifying, and the shouts of both sides were intertwined.

It's all a ghost crying and howling.

Especially the gangsters of about a hundred people, they had the advantage of terrain from top to bottom and threw at the Tartars at a distance of two or three feet. This momentum was so brave.

It’s true that the “brave” of these people has really shocked the Tartars.

The burning of the tinder tank produced the master's smoke.

In the chaos, it is impossible to judge how many ambushers are, and can only guess based on your voice.

The howlings of the gangsters made the Tartars feel illusion and their morale dropped rapidly.

When Wu Zheng led more than 300 people to pounce in front of him, the resistance stopped immediately.

This battle is in danger.

Wu Zheng looked at the messy Shining Street, feeling awe-inspiring and secretly glad.

Fortunately, only three hundred enemies came, half a street was enough to accommodate them.

If all one thousand cavalrymen came, it would mean that most of the enemies would be safe and sound.

They are safe and sound, and their end will come.

Li Ruhai brought his men over and bowed to Wu Zheng with a smile: "Congratulations to you!"

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "You should remember your first merit."

When Shen Zhiyuan came over with the troubled gangster, Wu Zheng pointed at him for a long time and couldn't scold him.

I felt so nervous that I reached out and kicked it over, and then I spit out a word, "Get out!"
