There is no such thing as the Kangxi and Qianlong eras

Chapter 133: Rebels blocking the door
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

There were about forty or fifty Han cavalrymen who rushed out of the camp.

More than thirty riders in the front row came forward with sabers in hand, followed closely by more than twenty riders holding crossbows.

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly, don't get bitten!"

Yang Fang was indeed brave and fearless, but he was not really stupid. He was able to defeat ten thousand bandits with only eight cavalrymen because the ten thousand bandits were real bandits with low combat effectiveness.

But these cavalrymen who came to meet them were all wearing armor, swords, and standard uniforms.

"Damn it! The Hunan Governor and the Huguang Admiral, are these two idiots? Could they be just ordinary bandits?"

Yang Fang brought eight cavalrymen with him, but was accidentally provoked by Fu Zhina and chased all the way to the Han army camp.

Of course, it can't be considered carelessness, because Yang Fang did not pursue too far, and the Han army camp was already very close to Chenlong Pass. Even if Fu Zhina hadn't gone to provoke and persuade them to surrender, it wouldn't take a few days for the Qing army at Chenlong Pass to discover the Han soldiers.

Yang Fang wanted to retreat and break out, but the Han cavalry did not give him a chance. The more than 30 cavalrymen in the front row spread out and surrounded him on both wings.

More than twenty riders in the rear raised their crossbows and fired indiscriminately.

"Shhhhhh!"

The crossbows fired at once, knocking down three people on the spot.

A crossbow arrow passed by Yang Fang's cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his face.

Three people were arrested at once, one of whom was the captain of the personal guard, Wang Qingshan.

The Qing cavalry was thrown into chaos in an instant!

In the time it took for them to lag behind, the Han cavalry had already surrounded them.

To be honest, among the cavalry present, except for Yang Fang whose riding skills were acceptable, the rest of these Han and Qing soldiers could only be considered as mounted infantry, and their riding skills were terrible.

Yang Fang was surrounded, and the fierce general's ferocity was aroused.

He had observed that the Han army wore light armor that was no match for his armor and could not withstand the blows of the broadsword.

"kill!"

Yang Fang acted decisively and, while the Han soldiers were encircling him, drew his sword and charged towards the opening in the encirclement, hoping to break through and defeat the enemy before the opening closed.

The only five remaining cavalrymen following Yang Fang saw Yang Fang charging and did not hesitate to draw their swords and charge as well.

As personal soldiers, they can also wear armor. I can't say how good it is, but it is definitely stronger than ordinary Qing soldiers and better than the light armor of Han soldiers.

Even the sword was specially made, heavier and harder than ordinary waist swords, obviously made of fine steel that had been tempered and hammered hundreds of times.

"Dang~dang!"

"Crack!"

There were several crisp sounds of swords chopping, and the two Qing soldiers watched helplessly as their swords actually cut into gaps.

How can this be?

The other three Qing soldiers chose to avoid the attack, and then slashed with their experienced swords, hitting the Han soldier right in the chest.

A hole was cut into the light armor, but no further cuts could be made inside.

No, this is heavy armor worn inside light armor?
Why?

It didn't matter why, because the captain of the Han cavalry saw the opportunity and shouted orders.

"Quick! Don't fight, surround them!"

"Cut the horse's legs!"

Several Han soldiers obeyed the order, rushed forward to confront a Qing soldier, and chopped at the horse's legs.

Whether it can be cut off or not is not important, but it will definitely hurt the horse. Once it hurts, it is hard to say whether the warhorse can stand still.

The Qing soldier wanted to defend himself, but one person was no match for him. Several Han soldiers rushed over and slashed at the horse's legs.

The warhorse was in pain and no longer obeyed its master's orders. It suddenly threw its master off its back.

The Qing soldier fell to the ground, rolled several times, broke three ribs, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at Yang Fang again, this guy is indeed brave and courageous, almost too brave.

He chopped down with his sword, and although his sword made a cut, it frightened the Han cavalrymen who were coming towards him so much that their palms went numb.

What a great strength! Is this a human?
Yang Fang was also quite shocked, looking at the sword in his hand. This was a sword given to him by his benefactor Yang Yuchun, and the original owner was a reward from Marshal Fukang Anfu. Such a precious sword, and it made a gap in the face with just one blow!

The Han soldiers did not give him time to think. The Han soldier who had just come forward was repelled, and two more Han soldiers followed.

Seeing that his personal soldiers had been divided and surrounded by the Han soldiers, and even he himself was about to be completely surrounded, if he was really surrounded, then he would not have to leave. Chenlong Pass would no longer need to be defended without its chief commander.

No, he needs to break out and can't waste any more time.

These rebels, no, they are no longer rebels, but Han troops. The combat effectiveness of these Han soldiers is no longer comparable to that of ordinary bandits. They must be reported to the court and can no longer be treated lightly as ordinary bandits.

Of course, we must send out a large number of troops, otherwise in time, the Han army will become a serious threat to the court!

Yang Fang decided to flee, not waiting for his guards to catch up. He swung his sword, which was already full of nicks, greatly reducing its lethality. So, instead of chopping, he used the flat of the sword to smash directly.

A knife was smashed down vertically, and the Han soldier who came up raised his knife to block it.

when!
A gap appeared on the back of the knife, and the Han soldier could not withstand the force and was knocked off his horse.

Another sword was swung horizontally, and the Han soldiers on the flank were caught off guard and were hit hard and thrown down.

What a strength!
After knocking down the two blocking Han soldiers in a few moves, Yang Fang directly switched to the Han soldiers' horses and rushed towards the gap left by the Han soldiers.

The cavalry captain finally reacted: "Quick, catch up, don't engage this reckless man in close combat, use your crossbow instead!"

"Da da da!"

Immediately, seven Han soldiers chased after him, three of them carrying crossbows and four carrying swords.

Without the support of the main general Yang Fang, the remaining five Qing soldiers completely lost their will to fight under the siege. They gave up resistance one after another and knelt down to beg for surrender to save their lives.

The five surrendered Qing soldiers were ordered to take off their armor, their weapons were confiscated, and they were then escorted back to the camp and tied up.

The battle was fought hastily and in a confused manner.

Fu Zhina went out to persuade them to surrender, but ended up bringing back a group of Qing cavalry. The key point was that the pursuing cavalry consisted of only eight people, and they dared to chase them. It was the first time they had seen such brave Qing troops.

When I asked the prisoners, I couldn't quite understand what they were saying.

After asking around, it was the guy left behind by Pang Wencai who figured out that the other party was speaking Guizhou dialect, and he could barely understand some of it.

After questioning, it was found that this group of Qing soldiers were indeed from Guizhou. They seemed to be soldiers from the same village. They followed their fellow villager Yang Xiucai to come here to pacify the Miao people. They also had military merits. Before they had fought for a few months, they were inexplicably transferred to Chenlong Pass to garrison.

Bai Nan asked, "Mr. Yang? Which Mr. Yang?"

The captured Guizhou soldier replied: "It was our garrison commander who just left us behind and broke through."

He Shunan immediately cursed when he heard this: "Damn it, what a loss! The big fish got away!"

"Quick! Send our cavalry to chase him immediately, don't let him get away."

It's useless because Yang Fang has already run far away. Before, he had to worry about the horsepower formation, but now he is alone, so naturally he has to run as fast as he can.

The seven Han soldiers behind were chasing them relentlessly, but the distance between them did not get any closer, and they were getting further and further away.

call out!
A crossbow arrow was shot out, and although Yang Fang turned sideways in time, he was still hit in the shoulder.

He groaned in pain, but even with an arrow stuck in his shoulder, his speed did not slow down at all.

Can't catch up, can't catch up at all.

They chased the Han soldiers all the way to the outside of Chenlong Pass, where they finally stopped. Seven riders came. Chasing them to the outside of the pass was already their limit, and they also had to guard against the Qing army coming out of the pass to counter-encircle them.

The Han soldiers had no choice but to watch Yang Fang being lifted onto the city wall in a basket, and they had to retreat to the camp to report.

It is indeed a pity that we failed to capture the Qing army's main general guarding the pass, but it is not a big problem.

It has to be said that Yang Fang, the commander of Chenlong Pass of the Qing army, was indeed a fierce general. He fought against three Han soldiers alone and managed to injure one of them internally and cause another to fall off his horse.

This is because the gap in weapons and armor is too big. Yang Fang's broadsword cannot cut through the Han soldiers' stainless steel knives, so he can only use a clumsy method, pure physical advantage.

He is really strong and fierce.

The Qing army also has talented people!
However, this talented man has now been shot and injured, and he has suffered such a great loss when he went out of seclusion, and almost lost all his personal guards.

Soon, after discussion, Bai Nan and the other two made a decision to push the front camp forward, causing tremendous psychological pressure on the Qing troops in Chenlong Pass.

In just one day, the vanguard of the Han army quickly pushed to the outside of Chenlong Pass.

"Traitors, traitors, so many traitors!"

The Qing soldiers at Chenlong Pass were all confused. Why was it that the general went out of the pass and when he came back, they were blocked by rebels?
