【Chapter 679】It turns out that Huang Degong is doing the trick

The squadron mentioned by Xu Xingxia is naturally the one equipped with the Han-style stair gun. Since the emergence of the Han-style stair gun, it has become Xu Xingxia's trump card. Compared with the Sun and Moon gun, the Han-style stair gun is a truly epoch-making weapon. Such advanced weapons of course need to be highly confidential. Therefore, before the Han-style stair gun technology is fully mature, it will only be equipped with the hunting cavalry troops beside Xu Xingxia.

Just now, Xu Xingxia saw from the telescope and carefully judged it based on the observed situation. He found that the number of bandits should be only about 300. Among them, the number of professional horse thieves may be only 300. Why are they said to be professional horse thieves? Because most of them are actually making up the numbers. From a military perspective, these people have no combat power at all and are almost negligible.

Even in the darkness, relying on the help of telescopes, Xu Xingxia could observe that these so-called bandits might be more appropriate to describe them as hungry people. At first glance, it was obvious that ordinary people were the ones who became bandits, and they did not even have a decent weapon in their hands. Many bandits did not look like soldiers when they were running, and obviously did not receive professional training. If it weren't for the influence of the night, they would have been massacred by the white-clothed cavalry. At present, they can still be alive, which can only be said that they were too lucky and were not hit by Minnie.

I don’t know what happened to them, but they actually followed a group of horse thieves to the surroundings of Baoding Mansion. Logically, they should be allocated to their own fields. At this time, they don’t go back to plow and farm well, but they are a little strange. What’s the future for them to mix with a group of horse thieves? It’s just that they are serious to go back to plow and farm.

Among these 300, 400 horse thieves, there are only 30 to 40 bandits, who seem to have received professional military training. In the eyes of insiders, soldiers who have received professional training are different from ordinary people in many movements and expressions. Their running movements, lying down, and even the movements of being shot and falling to the ground are all different from stars.

Zhang Tianhao also saw a clue. He turned to Zhang Feng and asked, "Commander Zhang, there are a few guys among the horse thieves who have obviously been soldiers, and they seem to be veterans for many years. Could it be that the soldiers who had collapsed from the three major camps of the capital ran to Taihang Mountain and became horse thieves?"

Zhang Feng shook his head and frowned and said, "There should be no such possibility. We have asked carefully that the defeated soldiers from the three camps of the capital have basically been collected. I have never heard of anyone wandering outside. I will send you the first person to take our travel expenses and go to Taihang Mountain to be a horse thief. But the possibility of this should not be very high."

Mao Shisan said in the jam: "It can't be the soldiers of the three major camps of the capital. I think they should have experienced actual combat.

The figure of the bandit leader swayed in the fire just now. I could feel that this guy should be a veteran on the battlefield. He should have been on the battlefield many times and has rich combat experience. The soldiers from the three major camps are not of this level."

Xu Xingxia waved her hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go out and have a look! Let's meet them!"

What Mao Shisan could see was naturally also. He was indeed interested in this strange horse thief. Where did the horse thief who came out had such skill level? There were not many people with such skill level among the official army of the Ming Dynasty. What was their purpose in coming to Baoding Prefecture?

Liu Chuang hurriedly ordered the hunting cavalry to be on guard. In fact, it was not necessary for Liu Chuang's instructions. Xu Xingxia had already set off directly with the hunting cavalry's Han-style Infantry Gun Squadron. The hunting cavalry squadron was equipped with the latest Han-style Infantry Guns, and those bandits with only cold weapons could not resist. Even in the dark, they could not be the opponents of the Han-style Infantry Guns. This gap in weapons and equipment is definitely not something that human will can make up for.

"Squeak!"

The gate of Baoding Prefecture was slowly opened again, and Xu Xingxia and others came out one after another.

At this time, the white-clothed cavalry around Baoding Prefecture lit a large number of torches, illuminating the entire field as if it was daytime. If you look up, you will find that half of the sky was burned red. The horse thieves also realized that the situation had changed and hurriedly gathered to the west of the field, setting apart the white-clothed cavalry. The thieves who made up the numbers began to run back and evacuate the battlefield as much as possible. Obviously, they also realized the danger.

In the end, only thirty or forty horse thieves remained. These horse thieves happened to be those who had received professional military training. Obviously, this group of people was the core backbone of the horse thieves. After Xu Xingxia appeared, these horse thieves had not yet escaped immediately and continued to entangle with the cavalry of the white-clothed army, which was even more unusual.

Even if they are idiots, they would not think that such a few people have the ability to fight Xu Xingxia alone. I believe that by this time, the whole world should know about Xu Laomo's archery skills. Except for Mo Rigen, no one can escape under Xu Xingxia's arrow. If you really want to fight, no one else needs to take action. Xu Laomo can kill them all by himself. They stay like this, simply seeking death.

Their leader was a man in his thirties, riding a maroon-red horse. He couldn't see his appearance clearly in the darkness. However, he could feel that his body was quite tall, giving people a feeling of majesty.

At the same time, his horse control movements were also quite flexible and free. It felt like the war horse under his crotch was completely integrated with him. It was like the arm and fingers, and it was free to move. Such a horse control level was not very common even among nomadic peoples, let alone Han people? Obviously, his attainments in horsemanship were quite profound.

Xu Xingxia rode his horse to the front and said loudly: "What's your name?"

The bandit leader was also a responsible person, not afraid of Xu Xingxia and the thousands of troops behind him, and replied loudly: "My name is Huang Degong!"

Xu Xingxia frowned and said to herself: "Huang Degong?"

Of course, Xu Xingxia is not unfamiliar with this name. Among the few famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty, Huang Degong was the name of Huang Degong. This person was definitely a rare tiger general on the battlefield. When the Southern Ming Dynasty was just established, the four most powerful generals were Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Gao Jie. Among them, Huang Degong was the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty and refused to surrender to the Qing court. Unfortunately, he died in the hands of the traitor Liu Liangzuo.

If it were someone else, Xu Xingxia would probably think that he was the same name and surname. However, Xu Xingxia had a kind of intuition about the bandit leader in front of him, believing that he was the Huang Degong in history. He was sure that the guy in front of him was definitely from a corps and had actual combat experience. If the guess was correct, the horse thieves around him should be his former subordinates. Logically speaking, at this time, Huang Degong should have been fighting in Liaodong.

But for some reason, they actually left Liaodong and ran to Taihang Mountain to be a horse thief.

Huang Degong was a little strange. Why did this chairman seem to have heard of his name somewhere? It’s impossible. Before that, he was just a general in Liaodong. Even if there is no such official position in Liaodong, there are eight hundred. How could Xu Xingxia remember him? He must have made a mistake. This is absolutely impossible.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingxia suddenly said, "Why did you come here from Liaodong?"

Huang Degong felt a thud and realized that Xu Xingxia did know him. Because there were only a few outsiders who knew that he came from Liaodong. It was obvious that these outsiders could not associate with Xu Xingxia. And his own more than thirty subordinates would never inform him. Those were brothers who were with him, and he absolutely believed them.

Just when he didn't know how to answer, Xu Xingxia frowned and said, "Now, Jianlu has occupied Liaodong. As a soldier in Liaodong, you don't want to defend your country, but instead ran to the mainland and became a horse thief. What are you going to do? Huang Degong, are you so timid in the fight?"

The word "coward war" immediately made Huang Degong's face red, as if he was drunk. He was known for his extraordinary courage in war, and was known as Huang Chuangzi in the army. Every time he went to the battlefield first and finally evacuated the battlefield. His position as the general was entirely accumulated by military achievements. He was never afraid of fighting. Xu Xingxia said that he was cowardly, how could he stand it?

Huang Degong was angry, and he didn't care about anything else and shouted bluntly: "You are afraid to fight! You dare to say that I, Huang Chuangzi, are the only one who is afraid to fight! You are the only one who is afraid to fight! I'm cheated here! I'm here to ask you for travel expenses tonight! We're going back to Liaodong! Give me 500 taels of silver, and give us a batch of weapons and equipment, and we're going to kill you!"

Xu Xingxia and others looked at each other. Huang Degong actually came to ask the White Army for travel expenses and equipment? But his behavior was a bit too unique, right? He said that you were going back to Liaodong to kill Jianlu, and the White Army would definitely sponsor you travel expenses and equipment. As a result, you had a long time of trouble and had a long time of fighting, and their relationship was misunderstood.

Huang Degong was obviously a bit prejudiced to Xu Xingxia and had no good feelings for him. He said angrily: "Xu Xingxia, will you give us travel expenses? Will you give us weapons and equipment? If you don't give them, you will be a traitor, a traitor, or a hookup with Jianlu! How can you not save such a good place in Liaodong?"

Xu Xingxia said calmly: "Come here!"

The horse thieves around Huang Degong all hinted that Huang Degong would not go over. There was a rumor outside that Xu Laomo was a ruthless guy. God knows what consequences would be if Huang Degong fell into Xu Laomo? Maybe the best treatment would be given if he was dismissed. If Xu Laomo came up with a more powerful way to torture people, it would be bad.
