It was late autumn, the wind was cold day by day, the grass and trees were dry, everything was dormant, the dust was rolling on the land of Liao and Shen, nearly 200,000 horses and horses of the Qing and Han armies were desperately fighting and chasing, from a vast field between the east of Jinzhou and the west of Shenyang, the army was rolling forward, and dozens of small-scale cavalry sentry battles occurred a day, and both sides were doing their best to curb the speed of each other's marches and win the battlefield advantage of the battle for their main forces.

After Wang Shirong arrived at the commander's tent, Mu Tianyan led his staff officer corps to return to the formation of the Guards and assist his boss Yubayashi Zhonglang to deal with the pursuers in the rear.

The cavalry unit that had been chased from Shenyang was not very strong in combat, with only more than 800 troops, and most of them were old people in their forties and fifties and teenage children, but the tactics they adopted were really annoying. Since the Han army abandoned Liaoyang, they have been constantly harassing the Han army's palace troops, relying on the familiar terrain, and with the advantage of light cavalry, suddenly gathering and scattering, sometimes shooting a few cold arrows, sometimes pretending to charge the army and beating drums, disturbing, tired and desperately advancing the Han army, although Captain Wang Zhongxiao, who was in charge of the outpost, repeatedly led the army to encircle and suppress, and killed many old soldiers and baby soldiers who lacked physical strength, but I don't know what the reason is, this chasing army has an abnormal will to fight, although the losses are heavy, but like maggots attached to the bones, Still unrelentingly falling behind.

The march of the load made the Han army brigade very tired, along the way Lin Feng abandoned military supplies along the road, clothes, hats, shoes and socks, tents, damaged carts, bombed cannons, and even excess military rations, horse material were also ordered by Lin Feng to give up, a few days of fierce running, the whole army fell behind and lost thousands of people, all kinds of valuable leather, clothing, utensils and even copper coins looted from Liaoyang were thrown all over the mountains, at this moment in the face of this endless harassment and sneak attack, the soldiers were angry and frustrated, The tragic deaths of the stragglers have seriously affected the morale of the army. With such a dangerous and vicious situation, Lin Feng was extremely angry with the troops behind the palace who had been delayed for a long time, and wanted to send an envoy to reprimand General Rick who led the army to fight several times, but under Wang Shirong's hard persuasion, he finally reluctantly suppressed it.

After dozens of encounters, Rick's cavalry brigade finally figured out the combat rules of this Qing army, in fact, there are not many types of such harassing tactics, when Rick fell into a few traps, he basically knew it, and under the planning of Mu Tianyan and others, the troops of the palace quickly drew up a careful battle plan.

When the Han army brigade marched to the Panjin area, the cavalry brigade led by Rick sent a circle of scouts far away in the rear, according to the direction of the movement of the horseshoe prints, and finally found the temporary assembly site of the Qing army in the rear of the army, and then Rick immediately set out the army, under the cover of night, the people and horses chewed, and quietly circled around their own army, and launched a long-distance attack on the Qing army, and because of the pursuit of the operation, the physical consumption of the Qing army even exceeded that of the Han army, and the battle has been fighting for several days. Therefore, in addition to sending a guard post in the direction of facing the Han army that night, its flank and rear were extremely paralyzed, so it was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, and more than 800 cavalry were almost wiped out.

Eliminated the potential threat of Lin Feng's troops marched greatly faster, it only took two days from Panjin to the outskirts of Bac Ninh to the outskirts of the dog head set, during which Ma Ying sent a messenger for help one after another to arrive at the Shuai camp, in just a few days, Ma Ying's department has been engaged with the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces for more than ten battles, and the rear guard of the ranger battle almost never stopped, since the forced crossing of the Liuhe River, the Manchu elite has been biting his tail and refusing to relax, day and night sleepless pursuit and assault, and when Lin Feng's main force arrived at the periphery of Bac Ninh, the 6,000 iron cavalry of the 3rd Brigade of the Sixth Cavalry Army, now there are only less than 4,000 left, and even after more than ten days of continuous fighting, the remaining troops are wounded and sick and exhausted, but without Lin Fengshuai's order, Ma Ying did not dare to lead the troops to withdraw to Bac Ninh, so he had to reluctantly struggle and lead the remnants to shuttle back and forth with Buryagema and Sabusu in the area of Black Mountain and Dahu Mountain, desperately fighting.

In the Liaoshen Theater, the Han army has no other cavalry units at the moment except for Lin Feng's Guards Cavalry Brigade, Ma Ying is not unaware, but the messenger for help still arrives one by one, Lin Feng understands that Ma Ying is already exhausted and can no longer support it.

When the vanguard troops entered the city of Bac Ninh, Lin Feng approved this tactful request for retreat, and sent two brigades of musketeers from the Ningjin Governor's Mansion to respond, until this moment, the situation of the Han army was still slightly better, but it was far from safe - after hundreds of miles of rapid march, the Guards troops under the command of Lin Feng were exhausted to the extreme, not only that, at this moment, although the forward musketeers were still stationed in Bac Ninh, the militia and cavalry troops behind the palace were still far away in Panjin, and the marching column of tens of thousands of people stretched for hundreds of miles, At this time, only one-fifth of the entire army reached its destination.

Fortunately, the Ningjin troops greatly strengthened the city defense of Beining with the cooperation of the heavy people, the city is located between Jinzhou and Shenyang, decades ago was an important stronghold of the Ming Dynasty outside the pass, it is said that the Ming Dynasty Yuan Chonghuan's general Zhao Shujiao was stationed here, so although Beining is only a small county, but Guo is small and the city is high, the pool is narrow and the water is deep, and when Lin Feng urgently dispatched the Ningjin troops to the north a few days ago, tens of thousands of people in addition to strengthening the city defense day and night, the logistics baggage troops were also rapidly diverted, In addition, on both sides of the official road between Jinzhou and Bac Ninh, pillboxes and beacon towers were urgently built.

Forced to support his eyelids, barely inspected the preparations for the city defense, Lin Feng immediately returned to the county office under the support of the guards, fell down on the bed and fell asleep with his head covered, and slept for more than five hours before being awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Dog?!" Lin Feng was startled and rolled off the bed, although Li Ergou had already been prominent at this time, Lin Feng had never changed his words.

"Shi Rong has seen the lord!" When the door opened, Li Ergou stood straight to the side, Wang Shirong bowed slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's good news - my lord, Ma Jianwei led his troops to retreat from Black Mountain and Dahu Mountain under the response of Ning Jinjun, and now the front is less than thirty miles away from the city!" ”

Lin Feng raised his eyes to look, Wang Shirong's eyes were sunken, a pair of eyes were full of scarlet bloodshots, standing outside the door at the moment, his thin body looked a little shaky, he hurriedly put on his clothes and hat, and replied, "Got it!" Walking to the door, he grabbed Wang Shirong, pulled him into the room, turned his head to Li Ergou and said, "The dog looked at Mr. Wang-he didn't sleep for four hours today, so he came out of this door!" ”

"Lord...... Now everything in Bac Ninh is not finished......"

"Eggs!!" Lin Feng put on his helmet indiscriminately and joked, "This king has an order: Wang Shirong, the privy councillor of the military commander of the Yamen, will be seated immediately, and there must be no mistakes!" He ignored the words, slammed the door tightly, and strode out of the yamen.

The bright moon is in the sky, the sky is almost cloudless, the night is clear, the cold wind is cold to the bone, out of the city, Lin Feng was excited by this cold wind, and he couldn't help but feel excited, and the attendant next to him was well-behaved, and hurriedly put a thick cloak around him.

"The ......" horses' hooves sounded sharply, coming from far away from the silent field, under the guidance of a team of guards cavalry, a group of men and horses galloped from the official road, Lin Feng stared at it, only to see that the cavalry soldiers at the head of the back were covered in blood, the armor was scattered, many people did not even wear helmets, the messy hair was wrapped in a few pieces of tattered cloth, and even the blood stains that leached out did not seem to be dry, wet and did not dance in the wind, and the war horse under the seat was also ribbed and thin, jumping between the ups and downs, there were some staggers, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart, although he had already expected that Ma Ying's troops would fight extremely badly, he didn't expect to be embarrassed like this.

"Get out of the pot! - Serve the meat!! Bring the wine! Lin Feng shouted the order, and dozens of men on the side immediately opened the lid of the pot, the hot mist was rising, and the aroma of wine and meat was extremely attractive, and it floated out far away with the breeze.

The team of men and horses saw the Han King's Da Xu, had already jumped off the war horse far away, led the war horse and walked slowly, the armor of the Han led by the Han was scattered, one step at a time, the action was extremely embarrassed, the unkempt hair was clinging to the sweat on the head, half of the cheeks were tightly wrapped in bandages, and the whole body was covered with blood.

Under the gaze of hundreds of guards, the big man swayed, and when he walked a few feet away, he knelt down far away, and choked up, "My lord...... Ma Ying is incompetent......"

Ma Ying...... You are Ma Ying!! Lin Feng was shocked, the general of the unified army under his command, he almost couldn't recognize it, he strode towards Ma Ying, and said in a lost voice, "General Ma...... You...... Is it bad?! ”

Ma Ying shook his head, his eyes were full of fog, and he kowtowed, "Lord!" …… The second brigade is finished......"

“…… Second Brigade?! Lin Feng felt a sudden shock in his heart, stretched out his hand to help Ma Ying, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?!" - Did Zhao Yingkui save him?! ”

"When we crossed the river, we ran into Peng Chun...... More than 6,000 Tartar cavalry killed it together, and Lao Zhao's second brigade was in the tail pad meat...... At last...... In the end, less than 500 of the more than 2......,000 brothers came," Ma Ying lowered her head, and her voice became lower and lower, "...... Lao Zhao's horse led him across the Willow River, but he only lost one palm...... But the other brethren were taken off by the tartars......"

Lin Feng slowly put down Ma Ying's arm, lost his mind for a while, and was silent for a long time, suddenly let out a long sigh, looked up, and suddenly found that he didn't know when, the officers and soldiers behind Ma Ying had already knelt on the ground silently, all with sad and angry expressions, tears on their faces, and hundreds of pairs of dull eyes, staring at themselves silently in the dark.

Lin Feng was ashamed in his heart, slowly landed on one knee, and apologized to the officers and soldiers of Ma Ying, "One general is incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, brothers, it is all my Lin someone who is ineffective in command, so that he fell into the treacherous trick of the Tartars!" - I'm the king of Han, I can't stand everyone!! ”

Ma Ying hurriedly knelt down and returned the salute, and said with a pause, "What do you have to do with the lord?!" Send troops and release horses, how can you still see dead people?! What's more, the king defeated Liaoyang City and killed more than 100,000 Tartars, let's win more!! ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly, then shook his head, stood up and said loudly, "Forget it, forget it, fuck it, what are we doing?!" - A bunch of big men stared at the horse pee, didn't let others laugh at them?! ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and suddenly there was a sullen laugh in the crowd, Lin Feng stretched out his hand, took the wine bowl handed by the guards, strode forward, handed it to Ma Ying, and said loudly, "I don't want him, come, come, come!" Eat his mother, drink his mother! - His grandmother's, people live for a lifetime, who the fuck won't die?! Only the turtle king will live for thousands of years - a good man licks blood with a knife, don't be a king!! ”

Thousands of officers and soldiers burst into laughter, the guards and men behind Lin Feng rushed forward one after another, pouring wine and handing meat to the cavalry, Lin Feng took the lead in a bowl, regardless of the greasy, tore off a leg of mutton, bit it hard, turned over on the horse, chewed and shouted, "Listen, everyone, our old Lin has something to say: The brothers here were originally good men looking for food on the ground in Liaodong, and later voted for Lao Tzu with General Ma, what is it for?!" ”

Ma Ying looked up in amazement, and the officers and soldiers behind him were also surprised, looking at Lin Feng in amazement.

"Lao Tzu knows why! - Our old Lin Buxing is talking nonsense, the reason why Brother Ma and the brothers follow Lao Tzu is that one is that they can't see the Tartars riding on our heads as a prestige, and our Han brothers have their heads facing the sky and egg bags turning over on both sides, so they can't help them bully - don't you say?! ”

The officers and soldiers whistled and laughed in unison, scolded foul language one after another, made a lot of noise, and shouted together, "The prince is right!" ”

Lin Feng laughed, raised the cooked leg of lamb in his hand, took a big bite hard, chewed and swallowed, snatched a large bowl of wine from the guards with his backhand, drank it all, and wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, and said loudly, "This second one, that is, to get yourself a background - as the old saying goes: learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family - but Kangxi, this kid has been cut down by Lao Tzu ......"

The soldiers laughed and whistled one after another.

“…… Our brothers are more than 100 pounds on their bodies, they are good men, and the knife is a good knife, why do those bastards eat and drink spicy food, let's beat the sticks for three or two steamed buns mixed with the green forest and robbing the road?! As soon as these words came out, the laughter stopped, and all the officers and soldiers were silent, everyone held their breath, and looked at Lin Feng in a daze, with surprise and expectation on their dark faces.

Lin Feng raised his voice, "Lao Tzu doesn't say anything else, the brothers don't have any other capital, my grandmother gave me a good body, God gave me a good saber, and what I ate in my life is this life-selling meal - now everyone voted for Lao Tzu, that is, he sold this more than 100 catties to Lao Tzu, so Lao Tzu must give everyone a good price!! ——”

He pointed to his own pole with the word "Han", "See, as long as Lao Tzu is not dead, as long as our banner does not fall, the living brothers will have hope, and the dead men will also have an explanation!" He pointed at the officers and soldiers behind Ma Ying with a horsewhip, and said loudly, "The sixth officers and soldiers obeyed the order - this attack on Liaozhong, Ma Ying's department did not hesitate to do the king's affairs, was loyal and diligent, and defeated the strong enemy, here, the Sixth Army of the Han Cavalry was promoted to the Second Army of the Han Guards Cavalry, in addition, the officers and soldiers of the department each gave 20 acres of land, 20 taels of silver, and two Manchurian slaves; The war dead are admitted to the Martyrs' Shrine, their families are compassionate about 80 acres of land, 100 taels of silver, 5 slaves, tax exemption for 30 years, and handed over to the local government to treat them leniently......" He raised his eyes and shouted at the officers and soldiers, "How about the price of Lao Tzu?!" Isn't it kind?! ”

After a long silence, Ma Ying took the lead and fell to the ground, leading the crowd to respond: "Thank you for the generous gift!" - The king is generous and benevolent, I am willing to serve my life!! ”

"Thank you?! - It's still very early, our Han army will expand more troops in the future, and we will have to lay more places, as long as the brothers are willing to kill the enemy desperately, everyone will have the opportunity to become a big official," Lin Feng sneered, "Good things are fought back with their lives, and if you are reluctant to spend the capital, don't think about sharing dividends - do you understand?!" ”

There was another burst of laughter.

Lin Feng threw down the leg of mutton, smashed the wine bowl to pieces, suddenly pulled out his saber, and pointed diagonally to the north, "Now is your chance - Lao Tzu gave up so much money to lure the snake out of the hole, and now those stupid people have been hooked to Beining City by Lao Tzu, this time we must completely annihilate the enemy army, and no one is allowed to escape!" ”

A group of officers and soldiers were startled, all looked at each other in disbelief, along the way they were chased by the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces for hundreds of miles, suffering heavy losses and casualties of nearly half, and they were really afraid of the enemy army, but at this moment, listening to what the prince said, these enemy troops actually seemed to have fallen into the commander's scheme.

Lin Feng laughed, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said disdainfully, "Who is Sabusu?!" Who is Buryagma?! Fucking Kangxi was slaughtered by Lao Tzu, which onion are these stupid birds?! - are their own brothers, let's be honest, look at the city of Bac Ninh in front of you-" He pointed to the city wall behind him, only to see that at this moment there are thousands of torches on the city wall, shining as white as white, the people and craftsmen handed bricks and stones, and kept reinforcing the city wall, dozens of huge cannons were dragged up the city wall by cables, the sound of the trumpet was tight for a while, and the figure at the head of the wall was longing, in the middle of the night, I was afraid that tens of thousands of people were busy working, "See?!" This king has been planning for a long time, and now the high walls of Beining are deep, and hundreds of cannons are waiting for them, as long as they come, we will surround them with a large army and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!! ”

The officers and men were deeply encouraged, and they all drew their swords and pointed diagonally to the north, cheering loudly, "There is no armor left!" Leave no armor behind!! - Capture Sabusu alive and Buryagma alive!! ”

Lin Feng waved the saber in his hand and said excitedly, "Now that they have fallen for the king's scheme, as long as they kill all these Tartar soldiers, Tongliao, Shenyang, Xingjing, and Dandong...... The whole Northeast is ours - when the Tartar field is your field, the Tartar house is your house, the Tartar men are our slaves, and the Tartar women are our concubines—we will kill all those who dare to stand in our way!! ”
