Chapter 27 Escape to Kaiyuan
The scout cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty had actually discovered a Jurchen cavalry who had been protruding his head. When the Later Jin Dynasty soldiers saw the Jurchen cavalry dressed as a Jurchen, they turned around and ran away from a distance, and realized that there must be something wrong with this person.
"Catch up! It must be a guy from Yehe tribe! Kill him!" The leader of Bayala Zhuangda shouted.
Thirty scouts of the Later Jin Dynasty were about to chase after him, but they heard the Zhuangda shouting: "Let's go back and report to him!"
Zhuangda ordered a whistle cavalry and asked him to go back quickly to report to Huang Taiji. The other scout whistle cavalry followed Zhuangda to chase the escaped Yehe Jurchen soldiers.
The scout cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty chased after him for a while, and saw the Jurchen cavalry in front of him disappear without a trace after a turn.
"Catch up! Don't let this guy from Yehe tribe run away!" Zhuangda shouted.
The scouts of the Later Jin rush up. Just after passing the bend of the mountain road, only a row of bowstrings were heard. Arrows shot down from the hillsides on both sides like rain. The Bayala Zhuangda was shot into a hedgehog on the spot. The eight scouts of the Later Jin rushes were shot to the ground with their men and horses.
The arrows shot from the hillside were all armor-breaking heavy arrows shot from the Golden Bow in the future. If these arrows were shot within twenty steps, it would be impossible for them to jump around with more than a dozen arrows hanging on their bodies. The three-level armor on the Later Jin soldiers could not save their lives. There were too many armor-breaking heavy arrows shot down. Zhuangda and eight scouts and whistle riders were shot to the ground, and their bodies were still twitching one after another, leaving only the air that was emitted and no air that was inhaled.
Archers ambushing the hillside shot arrows, and dozens of strong men wearing thick armored men rushed down the mountain with blunt objects such as big axes, hammers, maces and page hammers in their hands. The archers also stood up and followed the strong men in front and rushed towards the Jin soldiers in the back.
"Go away quickly, there is an ambush!" the leader of the team called Bashku.
The number of opponents is more than three times that of theirs, and nine people were sneak attacked and shot to death. The remaining twenty people were unable to compete with more than one hundred people. The opponent was a warrior in front and a archer behind. Once they were close, the warrior in front would withstand it, and the archers behind them were shooting accurately at the close range. No matter how powerful the white-armored soldiers were, they could not stop it.
The remaining twenty-one Later Jin soldiers immediately turned their horse's head and turned around to escape. At this moment, a heavy arrow roared in front of them and accurately pierced into Fendebashiku's left eye. The arrow shot through the skull and penetrated from the back of his head. Needless to say, this Fendebashiku didn't even scream, but fell from the back of the horse's back.
"Get out quickly!" the Later Jin soldiers shouted.
But it was strange that these Later Jin soldiers found that the war horses under their crotch were out of control at all, and they stopped and did not dare to take a step forward.
At this time, the scout cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty discovered that in the middle of the road ahead, there was a giant standing in the middle of the road. When the war horse saw this giant, it did not dare to move forward and neighed, and wanted to retreat.
"Bear!" A scout whistle cavalry screamed.
No wonder the war horses couldn't walk anymore and they all had to run back. It turned out that there was such a guy in front of him blocking the road!
But the bear is not uncommon. What is strange is that the beast is actually wearing a thick cotton cloth, which looks like it has cut the cotton armor and hung it on the beast.
"Hurry up, shoot that beast to death!" a Later Jin soldier shouted.
The Later Jin soldiers dismounted one after another, took off their bows, and walked up to the brown bear. If they wanted to shoot this big guy to death, they could only get closer to shoot the eyes. Otherwise, even if this guy was hit by more than a dozen arrows, they would not fall down. Instead, they would rush over in anger and kill several people. What's more, this guy was wearing armor on his body, so it would be even more difficult to shoot it to death.
Who knew that a man suddenly jumped out of the brown bear, an arrow flew towards him like lightning, and a Later Jin soldier fell backwards after his throat.
The man shot very fast arrows, one arrow flew over and one arrow, and in a blink of an eye, he shot seven Later Jin soldiers!
The Later Jin soldiers pulled their bows and arrows to fight back at the man, but the man was very cunning and hid behind the giant armored figure, making it difficult for the Later Jin soldiers to shoot him. More importantly, the man was wearing many thick armors. The Later Jin soldiers could only get within ten steps of the road before they could shoot him. However, every arrow he shot could take away the life of the Later Jin soldiers from fifty steps away.
There were less than ten remaining soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty. There were blockages in front and the attackers behind them also came to kill them.
The giant bear also moved, spread its four legs and ran quickly. The archer behind him followed the giant bear and shot arrows. Under the cover of the archers, the giant bear rushed to the Later Jin soldiers, and waved his paw, like an iron hammer, flattened the helmet and brain of a Later Jin soldier.
The remaining scouts of the Later Jin Dynasty were killed in a blink of an eye, and none of them could escape.
Gao Shixin led the giant bear and met with Mangui and the others.
When the war horses seized by the Ming army saw the giant bear walking up, they raised their horse's hooves anxiously and made a terrifying neighing sound, making it difficult for people to control them.
"You go first, Xiong Da and I stay and stop behind us. Otherwise Xiong Da will startle your horses." said Gauss.
Man Gui said worriedly: "Brother, a Jiannu went back to report the news just now. The Jiannu army will soon come to kill. It is too dangerous for you to stay and cut off the queen."
"Don't be afraid, with Xiong Da here, Jiannu is here, I can run away." Gao Shixin said with a smile and patted Xiong Da.
"Then be careful!" Man Gui said, then turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"
Now there are more than 100 horses with one man and three horses. Although both of the two horses carry food and various spoils, it is no problem to run back to Kaiyuan safely.
Man Gui left first with one hundred and one cavalrymen. Gao Shixin led Xiong Da and walked slowly behind. This huge brown bear is now as obedient as a husky. In order to reduce the burden, Gao Shixin's armor and Xiong Da's armor were taken away by Man Gui's cavalry. Now he has no armor protection on his body. But it doesn't matter, he will not let the Later Jin soldiers approach him. If he is approached, let alone the three layers of heavy armor, even ten layers of heavy armor will not be able to stop the beating of thousands of people.
Gao Shixin walked a few steps, then bent down and listened to the sound with his ear against the ground.
After walking about a mile, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance, which meant that the Later Jin cavalry was not too far away from him. It was said that it was not too far away, but his ears were extremely sensitive. When he heard the sound, the Jianzhou cavalry was still more than twenty miles away. Gao Shixin was calm and took out the cake and meat, first let Xiong Da eat it. Then he suddenly patted Xiong Da and shouted: "Xiong Da, run quickly!"
The brown bear was as if he could understand his words, spread his legs and ran. Gao Shixin followed Xiong on foot, his legs were like a windmill rotating at high speed, so fast that he couldn't see clearly. This was his agility and his hiking speed was no less than that of a four-legged war horse. Although his endurance was still a bit insufficient, there was no need to worry about Xiong Da. If he really couldn't run, he rode on Xiong Da's back and guaranteed to escape.
Gao Shi was very clear in his confidence that in fact, the speed of the infantry marching was not inferior to that of the cavalry. When he resisted the U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the volunteers braved heavy rain and set a record of marching for 14 hours and running for 70 kilometers on the muddy road. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was not uncommon for the Eighth Route Army to travel 60 kilometers a day.
The normal marching speed of cavalry is a hundred miles a day, while the Mongolian cavalry can travel between 170 and 180 miles a day, which can only be achieved with one man and three horses. At this time, the Later Jin Dynasty obviously did not have so many horses, and it is impossible for every Later Jin soldier to be equipped with one man and three horses. Therefore, the marching speed of the Later Jin cavalry is the limit of 150 miles a day.
As for the big bear, let alone the endurance. The brown bear can run continuously for half an hour at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and the war horses cannot do this at all! The horse's sprint speed can reach a speed of 88 kilometers per hour, but it can only be achieved by a tall horse in Europe, and the duration is extremely short and can only last for a few seconds. The horse runs at a speed of 56 kilometers per hour, which lasts for a few minutes.
Xiong Da was hungry for another winter, his weight had dropped a lot, and he lost a lot, so he could run easier.
With the speed of Gao Shixin's marching, it was actually difficult for the Later Jin cavalry to catch up with him.
One man and one bear ran at the same time, and the Later Jin cavalry behind were left five miles away.
Gao Shixin felt that he could still run, so he did not ride the Bear Big, and it was also to reduce the Bear Big's burden.
It was only more than one hundred miles from Huifa to Kaiyuan. Gao Shixin could reach Kaiyuan in one day.
