A scout smiled and took a bow and shot an arrow.
The arrow flew past Cao Wenzhao about one step away and was planted on the grass by the river.
Cao Wenzhao was so frightened that he rolled aside.
His embarrassed look made the Houjin scouts on the other side laugh.
Cao Wenzhao got up but did not step back.
Several more scouts stepped forward and drew their bows to shoot at him.
Two arrows hit his armor, bounced and fell off.
However, Cao Wenzhao did not move.
When the other party came up to the river, he took out a few arrows and stuck them in the sand next to him.
He picked up the iron bow and quickly shot six arrows left and right, hitting the other side of the river.
Six of the seven scouts were shot to the ground.
He used a three-stone strong bow that could shoot 150 steps away on weekdays.
He wore the iron scale armor that Yang Guanggao gave to his guide.
The arrows shot by Houjin scouts on the other side were just like scratching his body, but he The arrow hit the Houjin scout who only wore leather armor.
The consequences can be imagined.
The only Houjin scout who was not hit by the arrow was startled and fled from the river bank.
After about a hundred steps, he stopped.
He wanted to come to rescue people but was afraid of Cao Wenzhao's arrows, so he hesitated there.
Cao Wenzhao cursed in a low voice: "Stupid pig, get down on the ground."
With a wave of his hand, the cavalry captain immediately rode forward.
Cao Wenzhao said: "I am here to monitor the slave slave, you ask the river guards for a boat Go over and cut off the head and lead the horse."
The cavalry captain immediately returned to his horse and led his men towards the river defense post.
Soon we found a medium-sized boat.
After dismounting, everyone got on the boat and rowed to the other side.
At this time, Scout Houjin finally got smart and crawled over to the fallen scout.
The boat soon reached the other side.
The captain and his men ran towards the scout with muskets.
The scout had only crawled a few dozen steps.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately got up and ran back.
Cao Wenzhao's arrows flew beside him.
Yes, I frightened him.
Then he ran back even more desperately.
By the time the captain led his people to the fallen scout, he had already run to the side of the horse.
He hesitated for a moment whether to mount the horse and run away or to shoot with a bow.
At this time, there was a bang and he fell to the ground.
The captain proudly put away his blunderbuss and shouted: "Bing Li Zheng, you two go chop off his heads.
Finish the chop here quickly."
Soon the seven heads and a few horses that were not frightened were obtained.
The captain He quickly took the people back to the boat and rowed to the other side.
Yang Guanggao saw the head at his feet, listened to the captain's report on what happened, and extended his thumb to Cao Wenzhao.
Zhou Yuji explained beside him that this was what the emperor said was done well.
Yang Guanggao said: "General Cao has amazing archery skills and is brave and resourceful.
I wonder if he is willing to come to the Beijing camp to serve."
Cao Wenzhao had just come to Guangning not long ago and was just a small general.
Now that he heard that he could go to the capital camp, he naturally wanted to do it.

Yang Guanggao promised to talk to Wang Huazhen when he returned from the capital camp.
Now he ordered Cao Wenzhao to be temporarily promoted to Qianzong, lead the scout team of the capital camp, and lead a wing of the cavalry battalion during the war.
When he returns to the capital to report his merits, he will discuss the merits and reward them. .
On the seventh day of August, the Jingying camp began to move up the river.
Cao Wenzhao proposed that there were some places in the upper reaches where the river was narrow and the water was shallow, so it was necessary to prevent Jian slaves from smuggling across the river, so he suggested that the scouts should be farther away.
Yang Guanggao was right and sent the scouts forty miles forward and thirty miles back.
On the ninth day of August, they arrived at Liuhewei.
After the army set up camp, Cao Wenzhao came to report that the Jiannu fleet was found thirty miles upstream and was heading this way.
It was probably aimed at the Beijing camp.
Soon another report came that the enemy troops began to disembark twenty miles upstream.
It was seen that the flag was set with a white flag, and there were about 1,000 armored soldiers, 2,000 unarmored soldiers and 2,000 Han soldiers.
Yang Guanggao looked at the sky.
It was almost noon.
The Beijing camp had walked eighteen miles in the morning.
Now it was unrealistic to walk another twenty miles to cross the border and attack.
The enemy army was about ten Niulu, and the Beijing camp had more than five thousand.
The troops, of course, are superior in strength, but the soldiers from the Beijing camp have never been on the battlefield, so according to the emperor's words, they can only defend first and then attack.
Immediately ordered the cooks to make rice, and the heavy troops began to dig the fortifications.
The soldiers helped dig the fortifications in batches.
An hour later, the enemy troops had arrived five miles outside the camp, and everyone in the Beijing camp had eaten lunch, and the fortifications were basically completed.
The infantry battalion and the artillery battalion are mixed at the front.
The infantry battalion is a square formation with nine rows and twelve columns.
Each square is sixty steps apart.
The artillery is placed in the middle of the infantry.
In the middle of each square are the cooks and baggage soldiers.
During the war Specialized in harvesting heads.
The cavalry were placed on both sides of the phalanx.
Du Du, the leader of the Xiangbai Banner, is the eldest grandson of Nurhachi.
After Nurhachi executed his eldest son Chu Ying in the name of unrepentance, he made him succeed as the leader of the Xiangbai Banner and led fifteen Niulu to garrison in Haizhou.
I came to report that day.
There were many officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty coming across the river.
Their armors were bright and their gongs and drums were noisy.
The flags were from the Ming Dynasty's capital camp.
The Ming Dynasty's high pay, chaotic organization, and low combat effectiveness were often heard even in the Hou Jin Dynasty.
Du Du was so excited that everyone wanted to pinch such a soft persimmon, so he ordered to closely monitor the movements of the Ming army. , it would be best if Wang Huazhen sent them across the river to carry out a sneak attack again, that would be just right.
Like the previous times, the equipment would be acceptable to the flag owner.
But then the Ming army just walked along the river, with no intention of crossing the river.
It seemed like they were out for a spring outing, but it was autumn now.
Du Du thought for a while and gritted his teeth.
If you don't come over, I can go over.
You are all by the river.
I can attack you when I cross the river.
After the fight, I will grab the things and get on the boat and leave.
Although the Ming army is large, even if they dare to come Rescue was too late.
As for whether he could win the battle, he never thought about it.

The wars in the past two years taught Hou Jin's generals a simple truth.
Except for the Sichuan and Zhejiang soldiers, the other Ming armies were vulnerable.
What's more, the reputation of Jingying is already bad.
Seeing that the Ming army had already set up their formation, Du Du was a little surprised.
He saw that the Dajin soldiers did not run away in the future.
They were brave, but this was better, and the harvest would be greater later.
He gave the order, and the Hou Jin soldiers walked until one mile in front of the Ming army's formation before dismounting.
Then the armor soldiers put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and walked forward.
The fortifications of the Beijing camp were very simple, consisting of two trenches half a man deep, with two steps and more than three meters between them.
The side of the trench facing the enemy was piled with some soil, and it was filled with densely packed muskets and artillery.
Every twenty steps in the trench, there was a person looking at the flag behind him.
This was the messenger, and everyone else was facing the direction of the slaves.
There were about a thousand Han troops at the front of Hou Jin's army, which were used as cannon fodder to explore the way.
They were followed by 800 armored soldiers and a thousand unarmored bannermen.
The reserve force consisted of 200 armored soldiers and 150 white armored soldiers.
Baya La, as for the remaining 1,000 Han troops and 1,000 unarmored soldiers, they are going to rob things later
