When the Ming army's dense arrows came down like locusts, huge stones rolled down.

This ancient ambush method was still very effective. Hundreds of Qing cavalry were killed and injured, and they cried out in a mournful voice from the hillside.

However, the Eight Banners Army was an elite soldier who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Not long after the panic, the Qing general quickly ordered a retreat. In less than a stick of incense, the Qing army regrouped.

And from then on, it was a nightmare for more than a hundred people in Li Ruhai.

The Qing general had no plans or arrangements for any military tactics or formations. He just ordered all the cavalry to dismount and attack the hillside.

So the Qing army spread all over the mountains and attacked the Ming army on the hillside.

In this case, if the troops are of equal strength, even if they are slightly inferior, it will not be a problem for the Ming army.

But if the troops are too different, it will be a sure defeat.

Because no matter how brave the Ming soldiers are, they are not afraid of death, they cannot separate three heads and six arms to deal with the enemy attacking in all directions.

Moreover, there were no continuous weapons such as Cang Cang in this era. Every time the Ming soldiers shot an arrow, the gap in the middle would make the Qing army go further to the slope.

This is not important. What is important is that the Qing army attacking the hillside can still shoot arrows, and their arrow skills are far superior to those of the Ming soldiers.

Almost every time the Ming army soldiers showed their heads and shot arrows, they were targeted by more than a dozen or even dozens of Qing troops.

The result is not difficult to imagine.

So much so that later, Li Ruhai had to order not to shoot arrows anymore.

But if you don’t shoot arrows, you’re waiting for death.

Li Ruhai did not want to wait for death, but waited for the Qing army to pounce on the position, and the two sides fought hand in hand.

In this way, at least it would not die in vain by the Qing army's arrows.

By this time, almost everyone knows that even gods can hardly save themselves today.

When the first Qing army soldier rushed to the position, a hand-to-hand battle began.

In just one incense stick, there were only more than ten people left by Li Ruhai.

Li Ruhai was also stabbed twice on the back, and the entire military uniform on his back was stuck in blood.

The Qing general had no intention of persuading surrender

Si, he just waved his hand casually, and this was annihilation.

He had realized the intention of this Ming army on the hillside. It had been delayed for so long, and it was obviously impossible to pursue Ming ministers again.

He was eager to catch up with Boluo and had no intention of persuading these dozen people to surrender. In his opinion, these Ming soldiers were nothing.

More than a hundred Qing troops rushed up their swords.

Seeing that Li Ruhai and his dozen people were about to die, a miracle happened at this critical moment.

Just in a valley not far from the battlefield, a man with unknown identity suddenly rushed out.

The weapons in their hands are also very complicated, including big knives, kitchen knives, hatchets and even scissors.

Axes, hoes, iron rakes, wooden sticks, and bamboo poles are all available.

Of course, there are many spears among them. What stunned Li Ruhai was that he saw that there was a Qinglong Yanyue Sword with red tassels tied... Uh, shouldn't this be the knife in the hands of Guan Erye Guan in Guan Gong Temple?

The Qing general was stunned at first and immediately ordered a retreat.

At this time, there were not many Qing troops attacking the hillside, two or three hundred.

But the number of people who were not familiar with the details was no less than a thousand people, and they were still rushing out one after another.

The Qing general's retreat order was not wrong. Those who use troops should know themselves and their enemies, otherwise it would not be commanding the battle, but gambling.

When facing an accident and an unknown number of enemies, the first thing to do is to retreat, then reconnaise the opponent's strength and then respond.

The Qing army retreated and retreated to the hillside.

The terrifying dozens of Li Ruhai, who were impressed by the joy of escaping from death.

At this time, the group of people had already arrived in front of the position.

An old man dressed in a monk stepped forward and asked, "Ming Jun?"

Li Ruhai gave the old man annoyed, isn't this obvious?

Doesn’t the military uniforms on their bodies and the attacking Qing army show that they are the Ming army?

However, thinking that the other party had just saved his life, Li Zhonghai still said politely: "I am a thousand households under the command of Jinghai Hou, Li Ruhai, who is rescued by my father-in-law. I will thank you very much!"

"No need to thank you." The old monk waved his hand and said, "Who is Jinghai Hou you are talking about?"

Li Ruhai was stunned. Although Wu Zheng's reputation had not been spread in Zhejiang this year, who would not know the Jinghai Hou who revived Nanjing on both sides of the Qiantang River?

"The name of Jinghai Hou is Wu Zheng... Who is the father-in-law? Where did this team come from?" Li Ruhai became alert.

"Wu Zheng?" The old monk frowned and thought, "It seems that he had heard of this person. Did he wipe out a thousand Jianlu cavalrymen in Shining Town last year?"

Li Ruhai glared and said, "That's right."

The old monk said "Oh" and stopped asking questions, "Sir, your injury on your back is not light. Don't stare at me. Lying down first and let someone stop bleeding and treat you."

As he said that, he turned his head and waved behind him.

Several doctors carrying medicine boxes came forward. Li Ruhai was pointed out by the old monk. At this time, he felt dizzy and stopped forcing him. With the support of the soldiers beside him, he lay down and let the doctor treat him.

At this time, the old monk stepped forward, stood by Li Ruhai's head, and asked, "I heard that the Qing army occupied Shaoxing before, and only one Ming army in Pinggangshan was still resisting in Shaoxing. Since Lord Li was a Ming minister, I think he should know the Ming army in Pinggangshan, right?"

Li Ruhai replied weakly: "I am the Ming Army of Pinggangshan."

The old monk was happy, "So Pinggang Mountain Village is still there and has not been captured by the Qing army?"

"That's right. The Qing army did not send a 100,000 army, and within three or five years, they would not want to break through the Pinggang Mountain Village." Li Ruhai was in pain at this time and did not answer. The soldiers around him answered for him, and the pride in his tone was fully revealed.

The old monk became a little excited, "Mr. Li, after I help you to retreat to the enemy, would you like to take me to see the Jinghai Hou you mentioned?"

Li Ruhai turned his head and looked at the old monk with difficulty and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old monk said honestly: "I want to find a future for the thousands of righteous men behind me."

"You mean... to join the court?"

“That’s right.”

At this time, the doctors had already bandaged Li Ruhai. Although his wound was long, fortunately it was not deep and the blood flowed a lot, which looked terrifying. However, once bandaged and stopped bleeding, there were actually no sequelae.

Li Ruhai got up with the help of the soldiers and looked at the old monk: "If it is as you said, I can introduce you to you. However, this is not the time to discuss these things. Although the Qing army retreated temporarily, it will definitely stay at the foot of the mountain and attack at the forthcoming."

The old monk smiled and said, "Since Lord Li is a thousand households, he is naturally well versed in the way of commanding the army. The three or four thousand people under my command will be temporarily handed over to Lord Li for the time being."

Li Ruhai was stunned and asked strangely: "Don't you... know the soldiers?"

The old monk laughed and said, "I really don't know the soldiers."

Li Ruhai was surprised in his heart, I wonder why so many people gathered around the soldiers?
