Chapter 126: Turning Back, Decisive Battle
Since Huang Taiji drove Lin Dan Khan away, the merchants who came and went to the Bitou Pass were almost cut off, and Lei Ping'an, the guard of the Bitou Pass, had less oil and water, and his life was gradually becoming a little sad.
Fortunately, some time ago, a little white face surnamed Luo in Jingle County suddenly came over and bought a few people from him for more than 400 taels of silver, and then the Fan family of Zhangjiakou Fort came out of his side pass and honored him with 500 taels of silver.
As a result, Lei Ping'an's days were comfortable again.
On this day, Luo Xiaobai's face came again, and brought two hundred taels of silver, saying that he had a caravan to enter the customs from the side pass, and after the matter was completed, he would give him five levels of Jiannu and five levels of Tartar.
Lei Ping'an likes this little white face very much, very handsome, more handsome than all the girls he has ever seen.
And this guy is very good at talking, talking about people when he sees people, and talking about ghosts when he sees ghosts, and he can always make him happy.
Lei Ping'an knew that the caravan that Luo Xiaobai's mouth was talking about was definitely not a so-called caravan.
The night of the Bitouguan has already discovered what happened in the Qingshui River and the Shishiliang area in the past two days.
A mysterious Ming cavalry slaughtered hundreds of Jiannu and Tartars in the Qingshui River, and then robbed most of the Fan family's grain team in Shishiliang.
Obviously, the caravan in Luo Xiaobai's mouth was the bold Han cavalry.
Lei Ping'an was too lazy to get to the bottom of it, and he didn't bother to ask who the cavalry was, he adhered to the principle of talking less and collecting more money.
For the sake of two hundred taels of silver and the head of Jiannu, he promised Luo Xiaobai's face, and when the time came, he would open the gate and let them in.
As for the Fan family...... Anyway, it's not the grain team he robbed, what does it have to do with him?
What's more, don't think that he doesn't know what kind of business the Fan family is doing, if it weren't for the Fan family's hands and eyes in Xuanda and Zhenxiwei, he would have knocked this old dog who fornicated with foreign enemies.
After talking to Luo Xiaobai, Lei Ping'an politely sent the other party to the gate, and made an appointment to open the door for the cavalry to enter the gate after an hour.
Just as he was about to open the gate and let Luo Xiaobai go out, a number of horsemen suddenly rushed from the south and shouted from afar: "The commander has an order for Lord Xue, in recent days, there have been rebels colluding with the Dongyu, intending to enter the Kou from the side of the head, and order the side head pass to guard and close the gate, strengthen the guard, and no one will be allowed to enter and exit the gate!" Lord Xue led the reinforcements of Zhenxiwei to arrive immediately. ”
Lei Ping'an's face changed, and he opened his mouth towards Luo Xiaobai's face, but he couldn't say a word.
Luo Xiaobai's face was Luo Wentian, and when he heard those words, his face changed greatly, and cold sweat broke out.
The cavalry crossed Lei Ping'an and Luo Wentian, rushed straight to the gate, and ordered the soldiers guarding the door to drop the bolt again.
Obviously, they didn't want Luo Wentian to go out.
Luo Wentian's face turned pale, and he came back to his senses after half a sound, and hurriedly shouted outside the gate: "Go and tell the chief steward, you can't leave the pass!" ”
"Phew! Bold and spy, I dare to cooperate with the enemy under the military authority of the Ming Dynasty! Come on, tie him up for me! ”
Among the cavalry, one of the leaders shouted angrily, and a few next to him drew his knife and forced towards Luo Wentian.
Luo Wentian's legs were weak, and he collapsed on the ground and couldn't speak.
Lei Ping'an swallowed his dry throat and glanced at a confidant in Chengguan.
Outside the gate, Lao Huang, who has always been honest and cheerful, has a solemn expression at the moment, frowning, and looking at the closed door fixedly.
Not long after, an arrow suddenly shot out from the city gate and landed not far in front of him.
Lao Huang picked up the arrow, stuffed a piece of cloth tied to it into his arms, then turned on his horse and galloped towards the north.
……
Since dawn in the morning, the Hai Dongqing has been hovering above the head of Emperor Guan's army.
Zhao Wu and Liao Sangun took a few nights, and there were twenty elite Guan Emperor troops in the back to intercept and kill Hou Jin's spies, and from time to time news came back, Hou Jin's army was getting closer and closer to them.
When there was only an hour left before the Yatou Pass, Zhao Wu, Liao Sangun and the others came back, bringing back the fourth-level Jiannu head, and also brought back a bad news, the main force of Houjin was less than twenty miles away from them.
Qin Chuan compared the map for a while, and then reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.
They should be able to get into the bias before the main force of Houjin catches up.
But as soon as he gave the order to speed up, he saw a horse galloping from the south, it was Lao Huang who was in contact with Luo Wentian to go to the Partial Pass.
"Big boss, it's not good, Luo Wentian said that he couldn't leave the pass, listening to the voice, he seemed to have been arrested, and the defenders on the city pass also shot a letter to me."
From afar, Lao Huang tore open his throat and shouted.
Qin Chuan chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly rode his horse to meet him.
The subordinates around him also changed color and quickly became agitated.
"The big boss, believe here." When Lao Huang arrived, he took out a rag from his arms.
Qin Chuan took it, unfolded it and looked at it, and the green tendons on his neck instantly tensed.
"Big boss, what does the letter say?"
Liu Youzhu, Li Dingliang, Zhao Wuliao Sangun and others rushed up one after another, and asked beside them with solemn faces.
Qin Chuan clenched his fists, looked fixedly in the direction of the south side of the Biaotou Pass, and said: "Zhenxi Wei commanded Xue Dongting to take over the Partial Tou Pass, arrested Luo Wentian, and said that there was a group of rebels who colluded with Jiannu with the intention of entering the Kou Frontier from the Partial Pass, and it was necessary to strengthen the defense of the Partial Pass and not let anyone enter or leave the Gate. ”
"Obviously, the one surnamed Xue is coming for us."
When Liu Youzhu and the others heard this, they immediately changed color.
"Big boss, what should we do now?"
"Find a favorable terrain, fight a decisive battle with Jiannu, solve the chasing soldiers, and then go east, back to Sanshandun."
"That'...... What should Luo Wentian do? ”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan was silent and looked at the distance to the south.
After a while, he said word by word: "First send someone to the Biaotou Pass, just say that we are willing to redeem Luo Wentian with silver, and then send a few people to climb over the side wall to enter the pass, and go to Lanzhou to find out where Xue Dongting's family is." ”
"If he dares to kill Luo Wentian, I will kill his entire family."
"I'm going to pick someone." Lao Huang on the side took over, "After checking it out, I will take a few people with the lynx to do this, and we are the best at this business." ”
"After slaughtering that group of Jiannu, I will go with Lao Liao." Zhao Wu also took over, "I'm more familiar with the situation in the health center than you, maybe I can find some old brothers to help." ”
Liao Sangun also said: "That's right, slaughter Jiannu first, kill it happily, I will be very thirsty if I don't drink Jiannu's blood for a day." ”
"Go and get the brothers to prepare in advance, and I'll take a look at the surrounding terrain."
With that, Qin Chuan rode his horse towards a mountain beam not far away.
If you advance by light horse, you can reach it in a dozen miles and two quarters of an hour, and in such a short time, the grain team cannot climb the high mountains to occupy the favorable terrain, and there are no steep valleys nearby, so it can be said that there is almost no favorable terrain.
Although Emperor Guan's army has experienced a lot of battles, it has only been an army for more than a month, and its combat strength is far inferior to that of Jiannu, not to mention that the other party still has a military advantage.
This battle is not easy to fight, it is very difficult to fight.
His 600 Guan Emperor Army may be buried here.
Qin Chuan tightened his brows, letting the whistling north wind blow on his face like a knife, only glancing back and forth around.
After a long time, he finally made up his mind, pointed to a valley in front of the convoy, and said: "Enter that valley, set up a chariot formation, block the valley mouth at both ends with mule carts loaded with gunpowder, use mule carts on both sides to top at the foot of the mountain, dismantle part of the mule carts to resist horses, and don't let the cavalry of Jiannu and Tartars charge down from above." ”
……
Luo Wentian was locked up in a room, Lei Ping'an personally locked it up, and before leaving, he quietly loosened the rope for Luo Xiaobai's face, and ordered someone to secretly send food to eat.
Not long after coming out of the house, Lei Ping'an saw Lord Xue, the commander of Zhenxiwei, accompanied by Dong Liang, the former governor of Zhenxiwei, who brought a total of 1,800 soldiers and horses, ignored his garrison, and drove straight into the city.
Lei Ping'an is the second monk is puzzled, Lord Xue has made such a big battle, what kind of grudge does he have with the cavalry outside the gate?
There is also the former town magistrate Dong Liang, I heard that he had already been transferred to Ninghua to guard the thousands of households as a thousand households, why did he suddenly come here?
Lei Ping'an couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to offend his top boss, so he only adhered to the principle of talking less and doing less, and shrank in his room to drink.
Not long after, someone suddenly knocked on the pass outside the city gate, and Lei Ping'an ran up to the city pass to take a look, as if he was with Luo Xiaobaimian.
The person who came shouted upward, saying that he was willing to redeem Luo Wentian with silver, and asked Lord Xue to make a price.
The commander Xue Dongting raised his eyebrows and angrily reprimanded the other party for not wanting to buy the Ming soldiers, and also said that Ninghua guarded the thousands of households and hundreds of households Qin Chuan, as an official of the imperial court, but he did gangsters, robbed homes and houses for the disaster, and even led troops to attack Ninghua, intending to rebel, and now he colluded with the Dongyu to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty and defect to the enemy and treason, and he deserved death!
The man outside didn't speak again, only looked coldly at Lord Xue on the city gate, and then turned around and left.
Hearing this, Lei Ping'an understood what was going on.
The bold cavalry outside the pass was the men and horses of Qinchuan in the hundreds of households in Ninghua, and Luo Wentian was also his man.
This Qin Baihu not only offended Lord Xue's confidant Dong Liang, but also offended the gentry in Jingle County and Lan County.
He was then charged with attempted rebellion and treason.
It seems that Qin Baihu is more than lucky.
