Cao Rong was not old. Since childhood, his father Cao Xiyuan fought with the regent Dorgon and was not at home for many years. Therefore, he and his brother Cao Xi depended on each other for a long time, so the brothers had a deep relationship. Now that the elder brother has a son and he has a nephew, Cao Rong is of course extremely happy. Since he learned the news, he has always thought of going back to the capital to visit his little nephew early, and by the way, he also wants to be more filial to his father.

The Cao family's ancestral home is Liaoyang. Speaking of which, the ancestors were descendants of Cao Bin, the famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty. The distant ancestor Cao Jun was the commander of the Central Guard of Chenyang in the Ming Dynasty. This official position was a member of the clerk, so for more than 200 years, the commander of the Central Guard of Chenyang was inherited by the descendants of the Cao family for all dynasties. Now, the Cao family has not guarded the Ming Dynasty, but has become a hero who has worked hard for the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Cao Rong did not think anything was wrong with his family from the regent's palace to the inner court of the emperor, but was complacent, because Baoyi was a slave. Since he was a slave, of course there was no more glory than being a slave for the emperor, and his descendants were a slave for the emperor.

What kind of glory can be better than the luck of the descendants who are slaves to the emperor, and they are proud of the coming?

My brother Cao Xi was a second-class guard in the palace. This was a good job that could meet the emperor every day. Cao Rong was very envious, so he also wanted to enter the palace, so he worked very hard since he followed Zhao Butai, the general of the Southern Expedition, to the south. However, this future cannot be achieved by working hard, but also depends on luck. Since the southward, the Ming army in Yunnan and Guizhou have really been ineffective. Often, before the Han army and Manchu army were dispatched, the green camp in front played a singular song. So until now, the accumulated contributions in Cao Rong's name have not been half a future. The Qing Dynasty's military merits depend on the future. Half the future is the lowest title, the Yunqiwei, which is called Yunqiwei in Chinese. Half the future, and he was born in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is definitely a foregone conclusion that he entered the palace to be a guard. The two brothers entered the palace together as guards, and with the military achievements of his father back then, it was difficult for the Cao family to be underdeveloped.

Cao Rong wanted to make a contribution and wanted to have half a future, so he followed up and hired the post of the vanguard as a horse-striking vanguard. Now, he was observing the Ming cavalry opposite. Seeing that they didn't run away and were disembarking, he couldn't help but wonder, were these Han people broken?

Cao Rong was not afraid of the Ming cavalry on the opposite side. When he was fighting with the Ming infantry with the "Qi" banner, he was also confused and ran with the defeated soldiers. But the cavalry in front of him were obviously not the Ming army just now, and they were holding weapons similar to their own. Therefore, he did not think that the other party was difficult to fight, and he looked down on the Ming army on the opposite side from his heart, thinking that they were not worthy of calling them cavalry at all.

The Han cavalry under Cao Rong from Liaodong were the same as their subordinates. Their horses were hung with long swords and cavalry spears, which were intended to be used for rushing and slashing. Some people carried large bows on their bodies. Judging from their skillful posture of taking the bow, they knew that they were all first-class archers. From the top, the Qing army looked down on Wei Zhong's group opposite, but they didn't know that the Ming army opposite looked down on them at all.

"There are two Tartars who are pretending to be old men, and I don't think about how many masters they have to ask us to cut them." A soldier from Chaozhou regiment next to Wei Zhong seemed to look down on them when he saw the Qing army opposite him, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"The Second Tartars are also Tartars. The brothers are all cheering up. The other party is no less than us. We must be more accurate when we fight later, so we can't break it."

"Wu San, you and Er Zhang will go back and report immediately. Since the Qing army's probe appeared here, their large group of troops must be behind. Pass the news back so that the town general knows it."

While reminding his subordinates not to take it lightly, Wei Zhong arranged for the two to go back to report the news. After all, their main task was not to fight with the Qing army, but to convey information. Now the Qing army's exploration of horses appeared in Songjiawolou, but there was still no mystery in the Bonuses B, which only means that one thing is likely to be over, and the Qing army's brigade is behind.

Seeing two Ming army running back on the opposite side, there were no other Ming army around, Cao Rong also sent someone to pass the news back and issued an offensive order. The Qing army probe immediately aligned the formation, put the cavalry spear flat, put the bow and arrow, and drew the sword to prepare to rush.

The Ming cavalry team was also ready to fight under the command of Wei Zhong. Although they looked down on the second Tartars, the other side was also cavalry after all, and the number of people on both sides was not much different, so there would definitely be casualties if they really fought. However, the men of this cavalry team were usually raised by Zhao Ziqiang as their direct personal soldiers, which was similar to the personal soldiers raised by other Ming generals, and they were considered dead soldiers. They usually provided delicious food and drink, so they wanted to be able to work hard. Most of them had deep habits in the martial arts world, so they were not afraid of using money to eliminate disasters. The town generals were very good to them. The Taiping Army also had preferential treatment for the military family, so they had no reason not to work hard.

Soon, the Qing army moved.

With Cao Rong shouting loudly, the Qing army's horses began to advance, and the horse speed gradually accelerated. The Ming army gave up rushing to the horse and reversed Cao Rong's intentions, and it would not be less severe if he really wanted to hedge. He ordered his subordinates to gradually approach the Ming army with horses, trying to put psychological pressure on the other party, so that the Ming army with muskets could make the first round outside the range, and then the Qing army's horses quickly accelerated to defeat the Ming army in one go. This move was tried and tested by the Qing soldiers in the past.

However, after the Qing army's horses rushed over thirty steps, the Ming army opposite was still there, which made the Qing cavalry feel something was wrong, but they could no longer think too much. The speed of the war horse under their crotch was still maintaining accelerating trend.

Out of caution, Cao Rong opened his voice and ordered loudly: "Win twenty steps more, and the firearms on the opposite side will not be fired, so let's spread to both sides!" The horse turned in the mercedes' movement, and only cavalry with very good riding skills can do it. As for the distance between the Ming army or the Ming army's forty steps or fifty steps, it is judged based on experience. According to previous experience, the Ming army's local muskets will be killed at most within fifty steps. As long as they are outside this distance, it will not be necessary to hit it. The lead can't take any life and at most it can be explored.

Although the Qing army had only dozens of people, dozens of horses were rushing forward at the same time, and their momentum was amazing. According to common sense, the Ming army on the opposite side should have fired muskets in panic, but they insisted on not attacking. The horses of the Qing cavalry were actually slowing down. The Qing soldiers on the horse were controlling the speed of the horse and preparing to turn at fifty steps. The speed could not be so fast, otherwise it would be difficult to turn. On the battlefield, no one would take their lives seriously, and no one would be willing to be a tragic dead ghost.

It was almost fifty steps away, and Cao Rong could see the Ming army opposite putting fire pieces on the muskets. He was sure that as long as the opponent finished the firearms in this round, they could rush over and slaughter them, and leave two more living mouths to ask where the Ming army with the big banner of "Qi" had gone.

"boom!"

More than thirty muskets fired, and in this quiet and empty dusk, it seemed particularly loud, and the heavier lead bullets flew out. The result of a volley shot was to kill sixteen Qing soldiers from the horses. The smoke from the black gunpowder was burning and the loud sound of the muskets fired, which scared the horses. Except for the horses that were about to slow down on both sides, the rest of the Qing army were neighing and twisting. Many people were caught off guard and were thrown off the horses, or fell to the ground with the horses. The smoke from the gunpowder fired had not yet dissipated, and more than a dozen Qing cavalry who had not been affected rushed over, but because of the disturbance just now, there was no speed, and the horses were hit hard, but they were still condescending.
