Chapter 470(2/2)
Wen Hu shouted and shot an arrow.
Ten of Ye Bu's men also fired arrows in groups of three or three, but they were all blocked by the Tatar shields.
The Tatars accelerated and rushed closer.
Wen Hu shot a few more arrows in succession, then quickly raised his musket, lit the match, pulled off the trigger, opened the fire door, and ignited the primer in the gunpowder pool.
There was a bang.
It hit a Tatar's shield, knocking the Tatar almost to the point of losing his balance.
Then there were a few more gunshots, and again the gunfire was not released at night.
There was a scream, and finally a Tatar took the bullet.
But there were still two Tatars who had already rushed forward, and they slashed with their swords.
Wen Hu also roared, threw away his gun and rushed forward with his sword.
The two sides finally engaged in hand-to-hand melee combat.
At this time, all the Tatars also rushed over, and there was a melee between the two sides.
Scarface stared at Wen Hu and pounced on him with his sword. He saw that this was the leader, but Wen Hu blocked the Tatar in front of him. He also guarded the side and raised his shield to block Scarface's sword.
Scarface swung his knife and slashed again. Wen Hu came from behind and kept fighting for two nights, guarding both sides for him. Instead, Scarface was surrounded.
There was another bang.
Scarface screamed and fell to the ground. He did not expect that there was a musketeer hidden in the tree by the Ming army. The gun was shot diagonally overhead, making it difficult to prevent him.
Although the cotton armor has good protection against fire and bullets, it can only protect against some attacks. Hitting him at such a close range still caused a blood splash to appear on Scarface's thigh, causing him to stumble and fall.
Wen Hu roared and pounced like a tiger descending a mountain.
Scarface raised his shield to block, but the injured man was no longer a match for Wen Hu. Moreover, Wen Hu had two helpers and a team member on the tree. He quickly fired another cannon.
Scarface was shot again, then stabbed by Wen Hu, and then stabbed in the ribs by another Ye Bushou.
After several hits, Scarface's shield also failed.
Wen Hu made up for it with one strike and finished him off.
Scarface miscalculated after all. He did not expect that Wen Hu actually hid two musketeers in the tree. There were three groups of three and three under the tree, and there were three teams of nine people.
Moreover, these Ming troops were actually covered in armor even at night, even equipped with bows, crossbows and guns. Their weapons were better than theirs, and their fighting ability was not weak at all.
Scarface and the other two Tatars fell to the ground one after another, and the remaining six Tatars ran away quickly.
Wen Hu and others immediately gave chase. The Tatars, who had lost their horses and several others were injured, did not run very far. As a result, Wen Hu and others caught up with them on horseback.
Sharp arrows roared in pursuit, and soon all six Tatars fell to the ground.
A total of ten Tatars were wiped out on this mountain ridge.
The Ming army's twelve-man squadron stayed at night, and one man went back to report the news. The remaining eleven men killed one enemy first and wounded another, and finally annihilated the enemy in hand-to-hand combat at the cost of two deaths and five injuries.
Wen Hu was also injured, but fortunately his vitals were not injured.
"Bah, these Tartars are pretty tough."
Wen Hu vomited blood and began to lead everyone to chop off heads and peel off armor.
Jin Hao even walked directly to a Tatar injured horse, stabbed the horse's neck with a knife, took out a bag of hot horse blood, raised his neck and drank a few gulps, then cut open the horse's skin and cut off a few hot blood.
Horse meat, take out the salt bag and sprinkle some salt on it, then throw it into your mouth and chew it.
Wen Hu took the water bag, drank a few big mouthfuls of horse blood, and also began to cut the horse meat and eat it.
As a night harvester, you have to face various tasks deep behind enemy lines. The conditions will be very difficult. You can't be picky about what you eat. You have to replenish it quickly when you have the opportunity to eat, no matter if it is a bug or a rat, snake, or ant.
It is already very good to eat this horse blood and horse meat.
When there is nothing to eat, a little bit of dry marrow from rotting animal bones can sometimes be a life-saving thing.
Close hand-to-hand combat consumes a lot of physical strength.
Fortunately, Wen Hu was more experienced and had arranged two soldiers on the tree in advance to provide surprise assistance with bows, crossbows and fire blunderbuss. Otherwise, this battle would have been more difficult and the casualties would have been greater.
The cotton armor on their bodies is also the key to their survival. It can block most damage from arrows, knives and cuts.
Of course, the harvest is also very rich.
The horses were all shot and failed to be captured, but all ten Tatars died, and ten real Tatar heads were harvested. Ten pairs of cotton armor were also captured, as well as many weapons and gadgets such as bows, arrows, swords, guns, and bones, and even some weapons were seized.
Some dry food and some money with you.
After replenishing his strength, he quickly packed up the loot. Wen Hu quickly evacuated without any further delay.
Ten headless naked corpses were left on the roadside, which had already attracted crows circling in the sky.
On the way to retreat to Muling Pass, they encountered reinforcements brought by Fei Xiaofeng. General Meng Xian personally came with his own troops, followed by infantry.
"solved?"
Meng Xian looked at the heads held high by Wen Hu and others.
"Well, ten Tatars, all solved."
Meng Xian glanced at Wen Hu and his party, and finally saw two corpses carried on horseback, as well as several wounded soldiers sitting on the horse.
"Broken two brothers,"
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work. You go back to the customs first, and then I'll go and take a look at the front." Meng Xian patted Wen Hu on the shoulder, "I'll ask you for your merits and rewards later!"
"General, I'm fine. I'll go with you."
