Chapter Twenty-Eight: Run If You Have Something
After dawn, on the banks of the Anping River.
The more than thirty corpses placed on the side of the road made Abai's face a little ugly, these were his elite armor soldiers with white flags, many of them were veterans, no matter which one of them was put down, they could be pulled out, but now they were cold corpses.
"Third Elder Brother,"
Cherge, who was both a cousin and a subordinate, softly called Abai and gave the other party a look.
Abaiwei said "um", raised his head and slowly glanced at the generals under his command, and finally his eyes fell on his cousin Chaohar, who lowered his head.
"Little Thirteen, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, you don't have to be discouraged, raise your head and tell everyone about the situation." Abai's eyes were full of encouragement, and there was no sense of blame.
"Yes, Third Elder Brother!"
Chaohar raised his head, blushing and briefly explaining the situation of the attack.
"How many Ming troops are there that attacked you?" The one who asked the question was Du Anchao of the Guerjia clan, who was originally from the Haixi Jurchen.
"About hundreds."
How many people there are, because of the obstruction of the line of sight, Chaohar is not sure, but there should be hundreds of people.
"Hundreds?"
Du Anchao frowned, but didn't say anything.
"Third elder brother, doesn't it mean that the army has been camping like a turtle wherever it comes out of Yizhou, or it is only a few miles away, and it will retract after fighting, why do you suddenly dare to send troops to ambush us? Could it be that something happened to Big Baylor? "It's Jiala Ezhen Suohun who speaks, and he is also a member of the Niu Hulu clan, but he has nothing to do with the Cherge brothers.
"Third Elder Brother, do you want to send someone to contact Big Baylor?" Cherge said that the Ming army suddenly went north to Changdian, and he was also worried about whether there was something wrong with the white flag.
Abai was about to speak, but a big man beside him snorted: "What are you panicking about?" Hundreds of Ming people scared you like this? When did my Jurchen son be so greedy and afraid of death! ”
According to the eight-flag system, Gushan is really the flag owner, and the left and right Meile are really the deputy flag owners.
In his early years, Dokana fought with Nurhachi, and accumulated merit to Jiala Ezhen, and after the four banners were divided into flags, he was specially sent by Nurhachi to his third son Abai as a deputy, which shows the degree of attention.
The other deputy flag owner of the white flag, Right Meller, was really the second son of He Heli, one of the four ministers, but he did not accompany the army due to illness.
"Third elder brother, since Big Baylor has ordered our army to go south, our army should rush to the meeting place immediately, and we can't delay... In my opinion, the Ming army may have deliberately sent troops to attack our army in order to slow down the pace of our army's march, and if the battle situation is lost because we do not have a white flag, it will be difficult for us to explain to the Khan! After speaking, Duokana glared at Du Anchao and Suo Hun, obviously deeply dissatisfied with the two of them for dissuading the flag owner from going south yesterday.
Du Anchao didn't say anything when he saw this, but Suo Hun retorted: "Ezhen is wrong, the Ming army is cunning, I don't know that they are not coming to our army." ”
"So much better!"
Duokana sneered, "The most difficult thing for the Ming people to deal with is the fortified city, if you abandon this advantage and go straight to our army, our army will fight with him in the field, what is there to fear?" ”
"This..."
Suo was stunned for a moment, but he had nothing to say, because if the Ming army abandoned the camp as Dokana said, then what else did he have to worry about.
"Third elder brother?"
Seeing that Abai was in a daze, Cherge reminded him softly.
Abai had never led a single army before, so he was indeed a little flustered in the face of unexpected situations, and he hesitated whether to send someone to contact his brother Zhenying first, or continue to go south.
At this time, Tanma came to report urgently, saying that the Ming Army Infantry Brigade had been found more than ten miles ahead. The Ming army that attacked at dawn was this group.
"Who leads the troops? But what about the Wei eunuch? ”
Abai was quite nervous, and his brother Zhenying had told him more than once that Wei Gelding in the Ming Dynasty was very cunning and asked him to be careful.
Shi Deba, who explored the horse, said: "Banner master, the banner played by the Ming army is Xiao. ”
"Xiao?"
Abai and all the generals were stunned, and the generals of the Ming Army in Liaodong had intelligence, but they had never heard of the general soldiers and deputy generals surnamed Xiao.
Cherge suddenly thought about something, and hurriedly said: "Third elder brother, could it be that Xiao Bozhi?" ”
"Xiao Bozhi?"
Abai raised his eyebrows, and pulled out a finger at Nashide: "Quick detective, the person who led the troops in the Ming Kingdom is the stateless dog thief in Liaoyang!" ”
.........
"General, the scholar is incompetent, he has not been captured, and he is asked to punish the general!"
As soon as he returned to the camp, Wei Xuewen pleaded guilty to Xiao Bozhi.
"What is the sin?"
Xiao Bozhi laughed and touched his beard, "But if you want Jiannu to know us, you will have merit, how can you be guilty." ”
"The last general was originally thinking of sneaking up on Jiannu in one fell swoop, but..."
Wei Xuewen is also a solid character, he didn't pass on his thirteenth uncle at all, and he always felt that he took people to a sneak attack, but the sneak attack didn't succeed but killed a few soldiers, no matter how you look at it, he is guilty.
Xiao Bozhi looked at the rough mine, but he was a shrewd person, don't say that Wei Xuewen is not guilty, even if he is guilty, he will not dare to treat this grandnephew of Wei's father-in-law.
"Okay, get up, Jiannu will soon know where we are, it is better to clean up the sin, eat and drink enough to have a big fight with them! it, Lao Tzu has been in Jianzhou for two or three years, and he has long wanted to have a good time with these little pigtails! ”
Xiao Bozhi is full of pride, he is a man who fights on the battlefield, he and Wang Weidong fought with Yang Hao in North Korea, and the Japanese killed the corpses and blood, how can he be afraid of the yellow braids in Jianzhou.
It's those who are officials who take care of this and that, and they don't have any strength. If you want to put him aside, Xiao Bozhi can call the shots, and he cut off the head of the old boy in Nurhachi eighteen years ago and kicked it as a ball.
The camp of the Ming army at this time was also on the bank of the Anping River, but it was poorly arranged, and it was not as deep and high as the Chinese army camp.
When Yang Huan heard that Wei Xuewen had returned, he hurriedly came over to inquire about the situation, as a close confidant brought out by Father-in-law Wei from Beijing, he was more concerned about the safety of Father-in-law Wei's eldest nephew than anyone else.
Seeing that Wei Xuewen was fine, Yang Huan put his mind at ease, and asked some more about the situation of Jiannu's inlaid white flag, judging that once the inlaid white flag found out where he was camping, he would definitely wave his army to come.
"Our bait is difficult to come out, how can he Jiannu not be tempted, if it were me, he would swallow it in one gulp."
Yang Huan said while taking Wei Xuewen to see his deployment, the infantry brigade had already opened its momentum and controlled this section of the river.
"What kind of weapon is this?"
Wei Xuewen saw dozens of soldiers unloading some spears from the car in bundles, those spears were about a zhang long, Wei Xuewen took a rod and carried it in his hand and felt quite weighty, so he put it flat in his hand, the result was very difficult, and he couldn't help but wonder if such a heavy long mao was easy to use.
"This is the Qin spear, the best use of the western soldiers, and the cavalry."
Yang Huan said briefly, telling Wei Xuewen that these spears were used to defend against cavalry attacks, and the Qin people used this weapon to restrain the enemy cavalry two thousand years ago, and now they are also used in military towns such as Yansui and Xuanda.
"Jiannu inlaid with white flags is really coming at us, this battle is extremely dangerous, no one dares to guarantee that we can successfully lure the enemy to Sanlipu, well... If I die, please ask Brother Yang to tell my thirteenth uncle that Xuewen did not embarrass the old Wei family. ”
Wei Xuewen's sudden words made Yang Huan stunned for a moment, and then grinned: "You tell your thirteenth uncle this by yourself, I don't dare." ”
Then he pointed to a raft by the river in the distance, and said in a low voice: "My father-in-law has an order, in case of defeat, you and I can cross the river on a raft, and this matter cannot be said to others." ”
After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Looking at Yang Huan's back, and then at the raft, Wei Xuewen was a little distracted, and then suddenly gritted his teeth, raised his knife and walked quickly to the river, cut the rope on the raft in a few clicks, and then pushed the raft into the river with one kick.
Yang Huan, who was directing the soldiers to unload things, saw it from afar, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and ignored it anymore.
