PS: I would like to apologize at the beginning. There is indeed something wrong with the kerosene matter. Lao Long took it for granted and found out after checking the information. Kerosene was originally introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty, but it has been written here. There is no way to change it.

It can only be changed to kerosene. Sorry! Sorry!

In just one day and one night, Li Xiao witnessed the ultimate interpretation of killing and bloodshed, death and survival. This shocked Li Xiao, who lived in peaceful times and had only experienced exercises and training.

Looking at the bulges under the white snow, the people there were alive yesterday. Today, they have become corpses covered under the white snow. There are corpses everywhere, and they can't even have coffins. They won't even be buried at all!

There were too many corpses. It was winter and the ground was as frozen as stone. After a cold night, no one had the intention to dig a hole and bury these people. Besides, the Qi army who was trapped today also had to face the madness of the Tatar soldiers.

attack.

The weather is very cold, and everyone's mouth is like a chimney. As long as you can still breathe, you will spit out streams of white gas. If there is no white gas coming out, 80% of the time you will not be able to breathe out.

The sun had not come out yet, and it was not bright yet. Zhou Dunji came to Ao Canghai and Li Xiao, saying that Qi Jin was looking for them.

Walking to the middle of the military formation, Ao Canghai and Li Xiao saw Yuan An. It was obvious that the eldest son was well taken care of. He was wrapped in a blanket, and even though his face was blue from the cold and his nose was very runny.

Long, but much better than Li Xiao.

"Lao Ao, there are a total of fifteen horses here. You have to rush out and find Zhu Wanliang or Jiang Bi. Only with their support can we withdraw. Otherwise, even if the brothers don't die in battle, they will be killed here alive.

freeze to death.

If...!" Qi Jin paused, took a deep breath and then said: "If Zhu Wanliang and Jiang Bi are not willing to come to us, go to Liaoyang and ask the Prime Minister to send troops. The eldest son will go back with you.

You are the best at the immediate work, and you must protect the eldest son."

Qi Jin's meaning is very obvious. I will send your son back in times of crisis. In a life-or-death situation, you have to help your brother no matter what.

Ao Canghai glanced at Li Xiao and did not answer Qi Jin's words.

"Can you ride a horse?" Ao Canghai asked back. He had already made up his mind. If Li Xiao couldn't ride a horse, he would let Li Xiao sit on the horse's butt and tie him with a belt. No matter what, he would

Li Xiao must be taken out alive. In Ao Canghai's heart, Li Xiao is much more important than Mr. Yuan.

"Yes!" Are you kidding? I have been in Zhurihe for several years. Can I ride a horse? I can drive an armored car!

"Brother Xiao, let's go with you!" After hearing what Ao Canghai said, Qi Jin still spoke. This was equivalent to giving Li Xiao a chance to survive. If there were no reinforcements, everyone here would be dead.

Ao Canghai was very surprised by Qi Jin's words. Qi Jin was not someone who would let loose just for the sake of personal friendship. Especially at this moment!

A dozen knights came over with their war horses, and three of them were given to Li Xiao, Ao Canghai and Yuan Ang.

Yuan An patted Li Xiao on the shoulder and said: "I recommended to General Qi that you leave with me. If you don't leave, I won't go back to Liaoyang. You are a talented person, it's not worth staying here."

Ao Canghai curled his lips, no wonder the old-fashioned Qi Jin would let Li Xiao have a horse. It turned out to be Yuan Ang's request, and he relied on his father to send reinforcements. Qi Jin would never refute Mr. Yuan's face.

"Thank you!" Although he didn't know why Yuan An was so kind to him, Li Xiao was still very grateful. This was a chance to survive, but not everyone had it.

Before dawn, that's when people are most relaxed. Everyone is thinking that since they didn't run away all night, no one will run away now that it's dawn.

The Tatar soldiers gathered firewood, took out the sticky bean buns and roasted them on the fire. They were also frozen that night, but compared to the Ming army, they were much better. At least there was a fire to roast! The people who were surrounded

The Ming army was so miserable that they didn't even build a fire and froze all night.

Huang Taiji took the sticky bean buns baked by his guards and took a bite while it was hot. Although it burned his mouth, he was reluctant to spit it out. He had been worried all night last night because a large number of Ming troops had been discovered in Baitapu. There were so many people.

Seven or eight thousand people! And he only has four thousand cavalry in his hands. If these two groups of people are allowed to join together, the strength of the Ming army will be greatly enhanced, and they will alternately cover the retreat until they retreat to Liaoyang City.

What a powerful soldier. It will be very difficult to attack Liaoyang City.

Fortunately, after contact last night, the Ming army retreated. At night, they were still camping near Baitapu. They were more than ten miles away from the Ming army in front of them, but they did not come up for reinforcements. It seemed that the general of this Ming army was a

You weaklings. As long as you scare them again today and stabilize them, Father Khan will lead the remaining banners across the Hun River and eat this Ming army that has been frozen all night.

I heard that the Ming army in front of me is an elite force. It is the Qi family army who fought with his father Khan in Korea. They must be dealt with carefully!

Just after eating two sticky bean buns, the screams of people and the neighing of war horses were heard in the distance. Through the gradually brightening sky, Huang Taiji saw a dozen war horses galloping out of the Ming army formation. The first one

He is a fierce general, with a strong bow five feet away in his hand. Every time the bow string sounds, one of the Eight Banners soldiers will fall off his horse.

Huang Taiji was taken aback. He was afraid that the entire Ming army would take the opportunity to break out. Seeing that the Ming army did not move, he felt a little more at ease.

Without Huang Taiji's orders, cavalrymen with yellow flags immediately rushed over on flying horses. For a moment, arrows were like locusts, shooting at the knights on horseback.

Li Xiao lowered his head and tried to keep his body as close to the horse's back as possible. He held a round shield in his hand and knocked the arrows from time to time. Yuan Ang, who was sandwiched between people, also lowered his body as much as possible. But his hand

It's not a round shield, but a long sword.

Arrows flew past him, and more than twenty cavalrymen rushed towards him.

Ao Canghai wielded a big bow and fired three arrows in succession. Three Tatar soldiers were immediately shot off their horses. The arrows fired by the Tatar soldiers also hit two Ming army cavalry. For a time, people on both sides continued to fall off their horses.

There were only three arrows fired at the moment of battle. After shooting three arrows, Ao Canghai hung up his big bow, drew his saber and struck head-on.

"Cang!" The two sabers collided and sparks suddenly appeared. Ao Canghai stirred the saber in his hand, and an extremely unpleasant sound of metal friction was heard. The saber in Ao Canghai's hand was close to the opponent's saber, and it was sharpened horizontally.

With the speed of the galloping horses, half of the Tatar soldier's head had been cut off when the two horses missed him. It was not until Ao Canghai ran more than ten feet away that the blood in the Tatar soldier's chest started to surge like a fountain.

came out.

Ao Canghai didn't have time to see the result of his battle, so he turned around and dodged the spear that was thrust towards him. The saber slashed against the barrel of the spear, and five or six fingers fell to the ground together with the spear.
Chapter completed!
