But it's not that easy to escape.
The yard is rugged and full of brick and stone obstacles.
They are all wearing armor, so they can't walk fast at all.
In addition, the horses' heads are pointed towards the yard.
It takes a lot of effort to turn around and exit the yard. time.
"Feng Cheng, Ayu, you two are blocking them," a bannerman shouted to the two coats.
In times of crisis, it was natural to sacrifice these Han coats to protect the Manchu masters.
The two men named Feng Cheng and A Yu glanced at each other and could only helplessly stop and turn around to face the pursuers.
They also know that if they stop, they will die, but escaping despite orders will also lead to death, and will also harm their family members outside the customs.
I just hope that for the sake of his own efforts, the escaped master can treat his family well.
"Kill!"
Chen Yue stepped forward, the tip of his spear flickering, piercing the chest of a blocked Qing soldier.
The armor on his body was too thin and had no defensive effect.
On the other side, Yang Zhengping also withdrew the spear from the throat of the other coat.
After only a short delay, the other two flag men had already escaped from the courtyard.
They actually abandoned the horses in the courtyard.
Chen Yue led people to chase after them through the courtyard gate, and saw that they had jumped on the prepared horses.
Five Qing soldiers each had two horses.
Five of the horses followed them to the courtyard, while the other five stayed outside the courtyard.
"Kill" Yang Zhengping ran a few steps quickly and threw out the spear in his hand.
The spear jumped into the sky like an arrow and stuck straight into the back of a flagman.
The huge inertia made the spear shoot straight through the cloth armor.
Pierced into his body, the flagman shook twice on his horse, then fell off the horse with a thud.
"Kill" Chen Yue imitated Yang Zhengping and threw the spear in his hand.
The spear flew across the sky like an arrow and struck the ground with a pop.
"Brother Yang's flying spear move is really powerful.
I will ask my younger brother for advice in the future."
Chen Yue smiled self-consciously and said to Yang Zhengping.
"No, no, as long as you are willing to learn, young master, I will naturally not hide anything."
Yang Zhengping said with a smile.
Killing two Manchus with his own hands made him feel great, and he finally avenged his family a little bit.
"This spear-throwing technique is also good to use in front of the two armies.
It can effectively kill and injure the enemy."
Chen Yue looked thoughtfully at the Qing soldiers who were stabbed off their horses by spears.
"It's just not as far as bows and arrows and muskets.
It can only hurt the enemy at close range.
If the enemy has a shield to defend themselves, this move is completely useless."
Yang Zhengping said.
Looking at the retreating figures of the Qing soldiers, Chen Yue knew that he could not catch up.
Although he can ride a horse, he can only drive the horse to canter, and cannot gallop like this at all.
However, four of the five Qing soldiers remained, and Chen Yue was already very satisfied.
However, even though the victory was a tragic one, the number of casualties among his servants was far greater than that of the opponent.
Chen Yan Xiaoqi, who was in charge of sentry duty, lost six of his seventeen men, and in the fierce battle just now, four more servants were killed by the Qing soldiers.
It was just a fierce battle.
Ten of the fifty-three servants died, and the casualties were already as high as 20%.

From Chen Yue down, all the servants were dejected, without any joy of victory.
For these teenagers who are still underage, war is so terrible and cruel.
Not long ago, their companions who were still alive and kicking and bragging died like that.
Life is so fragile.
Chen Yue ignored his sadness and led everyone to check the results of the battle.
Although the casualties were heavy, the results of the battle were very brilliant.
The most important result was the heads of four Qing soldiers.
In the Ming Dynasty, the only criterion for testing military merit was the captured heads.
The price of a head was always clearly marked, as was the amount of silver rewarded and the level of promotion.
In the Ming Dynasty, the rewards for capturing Donglu were the heaviest, and of course the most difficult to obtain.
In more than 20 years of battles with Donglu, the Ming army always lost more than it won, and captured very few heads.
Even the most famous Ningyuan victory in the Tianqi years, in which the red cannon wounded the old slave, only captured more than 200 heads.
In future battles, capturing more than ten heads would be a great victory, and the generals who participated in the battle would be promoted and wealthy.
Now Chen Yue led his servants to kill four Qing soldiers.
In the fifteen years of Chongzhen, when almost no Ming army dared to fight the Qing army head-on, it was already a rare victory.
With this victory, it was enough to make a sergeant Upgrading to three levels, from an ordinary sergeant to a hundred households.
If Chen Jianghe was given military merit, it would be enough to promote him to one level, from General Officer to Chief Qian, and become a mid-level officer.
Chen Yue himself is not a sergeant in the Beijing camp.
He trains soldiers in the name of Chen Jianghe's servants.
Now Chen Jianghe is only a general of a hundred households.
Chen Yue privately trains fifty servants, which is beyond the limit.
If he is promoted to a thousand generals, then It is justifiable to practice dozens more.
In addition to the four heads, the biggest seizure was nine war horses, all of which were genuine Liaodong war horses and not comparable to the common pack horses of the Ming Dynasty.
Not counting the heads, these captured war horses alone can upgrade a sergeant by two levels.
If they are taken to the mule and horse market in Beijing, each war horse can be sold for at least one hundred taels of silver.
Of course, Chen Yue did not intend to sell the war horses, but decided to use these war horses to train his servants' riding skills.
To pursue death in the decisive battle and chase north, you must have an elite cavalry.
"Brother Zhengping, how are your riding skills?
Go ahead and pick one as a mount."
Chen Yue said to Yang Zhengping with a smile.
Yang Zhengping had made the most contribution in this battle, so he naturally wanted to reward him.
"I can't talk about riding skills, I just know how to ride."
Yang Zhengping said embarrassedly.
If he was good at riding, how could he watch a Qing soldier flee in front of him.
Hearing Chen Yue say that he could choose a war horse first. , Yang Zhengping was very grateful.
Just like men in later generations would love cars, how could a man not love horses these days, especially a martial arts practitioner like Yang Zhengping.
After observing for a long time, Yang Zhengping selected a white war horse, which was the same horse that had been killed by the white-armored soldier Man Dehai just now.
Chen Yue gave him Man Dehai's white armor.
Wearing white armor, with a white horse on his crotch and a spear in his hand, Yang Zhengping looked like Changshan Zhao Zilong.
Chen Yue himself chose a bay-red horse, and the remaining seven horses were not sent out anymore, but were used as training horses by the servants in turn.
In addition to the war horses, five pieces of armor were also seized, including the white iron armor given to Yang Zhengping, in addition to the chain mail Man Dehai wore inside, as well as a pair of cloth armor and two half-body armors.
In addition, four sets of bows and arrows, six or seven tiger spears, shun knives, fine iron sickles, etc. were also seized.
In addition to war horses, armor and weapons, several packages were also found on several Qing soldiers' war horses.
More than fifty taels of silver were found inside, but the quantity was not large.
This may be because the Qing soldiers had just entered the customs and did not have time to rob them.

Chen Yue distributed the money to his servants to appease their frightened hearts.
For Li Yi and others who performed well in the battle, they were even rewarded with an extra tael of silver
