256 [Returning with the Crowd]
When Wang Yuan led his troops to Lamu City, it was already noon the next day.
He had only taken five hundred cavalry from Hami, and at this time there were less than one hundred and twenty cavalry left. This guy was embarrassed, and was laughed at for a while by the fire man Mulan who guarded Lamu City, and then the two of them picked up their spirits and began to prepare for defense.
Turpan is very brutal, and the people in their own jurisdiction have lost the hearts of the people, not to mention the eight cities of Hami that have been slaughtered by them several times.
There were only 620 cavalry left, and 400 were assigned to serve as the overseers, forcing the people of Lamu City to defend the city. One person resisted, the whole family was killed, and the people of Lamu City could only come to the city wall trembling.
The other two hundred and twenty horsemen were directly dragged outside the city, waiting for an opportunity to attack Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan ran for more than 100 miles, but he was faced with a "heavily guarded" city. He didn't say a word, let the large army rest in place, replenish food and water by the way, and sent hundreds of cavalry to check the city's defenses.
Except for the newly attached tribes of Yibuci and Buerhao, the other Kansai cavalry had no meaning for this.
There were many of them, and they personally participated in the two battles to recover Hami. As long as the Hami royal city is captured, the other cities are at your fingertips, Turpan will not leave heavy troops to defend it, and the people in the city will not resist to the death.
After a short time, the scouts sent out came back to report: "General Wang, there is a section of the city wall in the west of the city that has collapsed, and there is a mouth several zhang wide, and you can attack from there." In addition, two or three miles west of the city, there are Turpan cavalry watching, and they may launch a surprise attack while we are attacking the city. ”
Wang Yuan said: "Rest for another quarter of an hour and attack from the west of the city!" ”
The pass in the west of the city has been collapsing for several years, and neither the Hami guards nor the Turpan occupiers have ever thought of repairing it.
On the castle tower.
Ya Mulan looked at the cavalry outside the city from afar, and was already making up her mind. He was the son of a nobleman of the Kansai Seven Guards, who was plundered by Turpan at the age of eight, and was appreciated for his cleverness and cleverness, and won the title of Fireman for his bravery in battle, and is still only in his early twenties.
Desperate for Turpan?
When you can win a battle, you naturally have to fight, and if you lose a battle 100%, then you still have to fight a fart!
Seeing a team of sentry horses passing around the city, Ya Mulan's eyes suddenly widened and she muttered, "That's ...... That's the banner of the Quxian tribe, hasn't my tribe been wiped out? ”
Qu Xianwei was indeed destroyed.
Its main force was crippled by Turpan, the old people were killed, and the young and strong, women and children were captured, and Yamulan was one of the captured children.
Qu Xianwei, the son of the governor, took 200 cavalry to Handongwei. Because they had no women and property, only two hundred young men and horses, it was equivalent to integrating into Han Dongwei. In addition, he also married the sister of the governor of Handong Weidu, and was later arranged to graze near the sandbank.
The remnants of the Quxian tribe, who were not exterminated by Turpan, returned to Quxian to graze one after another, and were killed by Yibuci, directly announcing the demise of Qu Xianwei.
However, Qu Xianwei's Governor Great Seal was still taken off and carefully kept.
On this expedition, Wang Yuan asked Tuo Ti to play the banner of Qu Xianwei, and he planned to arrange for the pasture to restore Qu Xianwei.
Ya Mulan looked at the flags outside the city, and her eyes instantly moistened. Until the age of eight, he could see the flag every day, his father, mother, brother, brother, sister...... The faces that have long been forgotten resurfaced in my mind.
"Fireman, that's our banner, that's our tribe!" A personal guard came over and said to Ya Mulan with suppressed emotions.
This personal guard, who was also a child of Qu Xianwei who was taken away, worked as a slave in Turpan with Ya Mulan. After Ya Mulan became a firefighter because of his merits, he continued to search for his subordinates, and pulled them to his side by buying, and now he has found more than 20 people, all of whom have been his personal guards.
Yamulan calmed down and said to the left and right: "I don't want Lamu City, gather the troops and leave from the West Gate." ”
Before Wang Yuan could rest well, Ya Mulan, the guard of Lamu City, had already abandoned the city with his cavalry.
"Mr. Wang, the thieves have escaped!" The sentry rode back to report the report, and he still held a pair of clairvoyant mirrors given by Wang Yuan in his hand.
Wang Yuan immediately said: "Get on the horse and chase the enemy!" ”
Mulan left with the four hundred cavalry in the city, and soon joined him.
He only asked, "Why don't you defend the city?" ”
Ya Mulan asked rhetorically, "Can you keep it?" Why don't I do it outside the city, and you go to the city to keep watch? ”
"Hey, hey."
He only smiled and said no more.
This guy has long made up his mind that he will launch a surprise attack when he has the opportunity, and he will slip away if he doesn't have the opportunity, and there is no psychological burden to sell Mulan in the city.
Since Yamulan is smart, let's go back to Tupan together, and then follow the army back in the autumn.
Ya Mulan suddenly whispered, "I have a plan, maybe I can completely annihilate the enemy." ”
"Oh, what ploy?" He was only surprised.
Mulan rode closer and whispered, "That's the ......"
He didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”
"Boom!"
The scimitar is unsheathed.
Ya Mulan slashed out with a knife and directly wiped his neck, and his guards also began to kill his guards.
There were about four or five hundred cavalrymen, who were at a loss for what to do, and they couldn't figure out which side to help.
With a heart or not, Ya Mulan's personal guards solved his power in an instant.
Yamulan dismounted and cut off the head of his Ding, held it up, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is brutal and rude, and they are not the masters of Turpan. Do you remember how many of our ancestors were slaughtered over the past hundred years? And how many of our compatriots are left? They forced us to become religious, and those who did not convert were killed. My father, mother, and eldest brother died right before my eyes, and I could dream of blood every night. Now, the army of the Ming Dynasty is coming, and the Ming Dynasty will send us grain, cattle and horses, and we can farm and graze. Those who are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty will follow me! If you don't want to, please leave by yourself! ”
At this moment, there were still 596 Turpan cavalry left, and only a few of them were unwilling to follow Ya Mulan.
Ya Mulan looked at those people and sneered: "Kill them all!" ”
The crowd rushed up and chopped the stubborn ones into meat sauce.
Ya Mulan led nearly 600 cavalry and quickly approached Wang Yuan's troops, and when there were only more than 100 steps left, he suddenly ordered: "Throw away your weapons!" ”
Six hundred people surrendered with their weapons, and Wang Yuan hurriedly stopped the troops.
Ya Mulan shouted: "Can there be compatriots from Qu Xian? ”
Tuo Cry rode out on horseback and shouted: "I am Qu Xianwei Du Du Tuo Wai, are you also a member of the Qu Xian tribe?" ”
Ya Mulan burst into tears: "Brother, it's me, your Ya Mulan." When I was a child, you taught me to ride a horse, you taught me archery, you taught me wrestling, and you said I would be an eagle in the sky! ”
"Ya Mulan?"
Kicking off the horse and galloping over, jumped to Ya Mulan's side, and pressed his shoulder to look at him carefully: "Ya Mulan, is it really you?" You were eight years old when you were taken captive, and I don't recognize you for more than a decade. You have grown taller and stronger, and you have grown from a young eagle to an eagle! ”
"Brother, is our clan still there?" Ya Mulan asked.
"There are still some clansmen left, and the general system of the king promised to allocate grassland so that we can thrive in the first tribe. ”
Ya Mulan asked, "Which one is the general system of the king?" ”
He turned around and pointed at Wang Yuan: "The one wearing Han armor." ”
Ya Mulan quickly ran to Wang Yuan, knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you for the kindness of President Wang, you let Qu Xianbu continue, and I, Ya Mulan, will follow you to the death in the future!" ”
Ya Mulan couldn't speak Chinese, so she hurriedly came over to translate.
Wang Yuan laughed when he heard this, and dismounted and helped Yamulan up: "You and I are both young people, don't say so much." As long as you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, I promise to make Qu Xianbu prosperous again! ”
Historically, Ya Mulan was constantly promoted by Full Speed because of her courage in battle.
In the third year of Jiajing, this goods has become a general around Man Suer, leading his troops to break through Jiayu Pass, and the troops are directed at Suzhou City.
But in the fourth year of Jiajing, Ya Mulan met her brother and learned that Qu Xianbu still existed and had moved to Gansu. He directly led 3,000 troops and asked to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers dare not accept it, for fear that this guy was playing Infernal Affairs.
As a result, the monarchs and ministers of the Jiajing Dynasty refused to surrender to Yamulan in the name of not wanting to provoke the border without permission and fearing that Turpan would take the opportunity to detain the customs.
At that time, Wang Qiong had already recovered, and after many arguments, Jiajing finally let Jiajing accept Ya Mulan. But he was afraid that Ya Mulan would change, so he scattered his 3,000 people, and Ya Mulan himself was placed in Jiangxia and became a local tycoon.
If Wang Yuan was in the court at the time, he would definitely point at Jiajing and scold.
A slave who was taken away at the age of eight can become a general in Turpan, and he can lead 3,000 people to join the Ming Dynasty. What kind of courage does this mean, and what kind of appeal does it mean? It is completely possible for him to command his subordinates and guard the frontier for Daming.
actually broke up his troops and threw him to Jiangxia to become a rich man.
It's a pity that Yamulan at this time has not grown to 3,000 people, so she can only lead 600 cavalry to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
