"Giddy! Go!"
In the dense forest, three fast horses were galloping along the dense forest's dirt road. The three cavalrymen on the backs of the horses had nervous expressions. Their lips, which were frozen purple, looked dry in the cold winter snow.
Even so, they did not stop to replenish their water. It was as if time was of the essence and someone was chasing them!
However, following the sound of horse hooves behind them, the three Qing scouts in front immediately increased the speed of their whips, completely ignoring the fact that their horses were already panting from exhaustion.
Whoosh!
An arrow pierced through the air and pierced through the thin leather armor of the last of the three Qing soldiers. The soldier felt powerless and fell off his horse.
Without its master's control, the exhausted warhorse immediately slowed down and stopped. It stood on the ground and panted heavily.
The dense forest in the early morning was filled with thick fog, and the white fog blocked many of their sights. This made it impossible for the other two Qing scouts to know how far the enemy was behind them.
Perhaps the death of their companions had made them feel fear, so they kept waving their whips, ignoring the fact that the horses 'butts were already bleeding from the whipping.
Whoosh!
The sound of air being torn rang out again, but this time, it was a series of arrows. Three armor-piercing arrows shot out from the thick fog, causing the scout horse that was one step behind to fall off its horse on the spot. The last scout horse was also shot in the leg by an arrow.
This arrow was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the galloping warhorse's hind legs to go soft and its forelimbs to lose strength. Immediately, the warhorse and the man fell down on the dense fog on the dirt road.
The red soil of southeast Yunnan was mixed with a thin layer of white snow. Fortunately, the leader of the Qing army was quite skilled and protected his important parts in time. After rolling continuously, he stood up shakily.
However, before he could see his surroundings clearly, a person wearing a crimson brocade robe and riding a warhorse that was galloping over at high speed immediately gripped the spear in his hand tightly. With the power of the horse, he directly pierced through his shoulder with the spear and sent him flying back three to four meters in the air with great force.
"Ah!" The pain from his shoulder made the scout horse roll around in pain. The owner who had stabbed him stopped his horse and controlled it to slowly walk in front of him. Ignoring his pain, he pulled out his spear, causing him to wail again.
The owner of the crimson clothes dismounted and wiped the blood-stained tip of the spear with the clothes of the Qing army. Then, he stepped on the arm of the horse that was howling and trying to reach for the saber. He raised his hand and lowered the spear, directly piercing through the palm of the horse with the spear and fiercely stabbing it into the ground.
"Commander!"
When the owner of the crimson robe did this, a few more crimson robes appeared in the fog, riding on warhorses and panting.
Looking closely, it turned out that the person who had killed two people and captured one of them was Shen Lian, the Jinyiwei commander who was exchanged by Zhu Bomu some time ago.
Looking at the Jinyiwei who had just arrived, Shen Lian frowned,""After we go back, practice more horsemanship. It's better than losing your life on the battlefield!”
"Yes, sir!" After being scolded by Shen Lian, the Jinyiwei immediately held their breath and replied, afraid that they would be scolded while panting.
Seeing that his subordinates had taken his words in, Shen Lian ignored the feeling of the scouts and pulled out his spear. He threw it to the subordinate in front of him and turned back to look at the scouts who were looking at him with fear,"
"It's fine if we don't ride the horse, but we can't let our Northern Town Governor's Imperial Prison down. Bring it back and get the news out.”
"Commander, don't worry. It'll take at most one night to get him to talk!”Upon hearing Shen Lian's words, a chief flag officer of the Jinyiwei who was dressed in a crimson brocade robe smiled.
Seeing that his subordinate was so confident, Shen Lian mounted his horse and turned the horse around. He took one last look at the Qing army's corpse lying on the ground not far away. Then, without saying a word, he rode the horse away from where he was.
After Shen Lian left, the chief flag officer wiped his nose with a smile and greeted,""Bring the two corpses of the dogs back. The dogs in Zhao Prison haven't eaten for days.”
"Yes, sir! " Then this person…" A small flag officer nodded and then looked curiously at the Qing Dynasty scout horse, who had been crawling on the ground with blood on his face. It seemed that he wanted to leave.
Seeing the junior flag officer's expression, the chief flag officer revealed an evil smile. He looked around and saw the scout horse of the Qing army who was trying to crawl away. He wiped his nose and said,""I'll interrogate this person personally. I believe I can get a lot of interesting information out of him.”
After saying that, the chief flag officer hummed a tune that sounded like a demon's tune to the scouts. He pulled out his Yanling saber and knocked on the stones on the roadside from time to time. He followed the Qing army at a moderate pace, like a demon wearing a red brocade robe...
