"Zhang Yuan, write down the names of the brothers who died just now, we can't let the brothers die, there won't even be a person who burns paper money in the future, and all the brothers we sacrificed in the future will be written down for me" Liu Xia said solemnly to Zhang Yuan.

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard Liu Xia's words, he felt a burst of heating in his heart, wrote down the names of his brothers, and knew who to burn a paper money in the future, he was poor when he was alive, but he couldn't let his brothers still be poor when he died, where in this world is there such a good general as Liu Xia, thinking about the soldiers so much, if such a general is not good to serve him, it will really be five thunderstorms, Zhang Yuan kept thinking in his heart.

I saw that his eyes were even a little moist, after all, in this ancient time, where are there many people who treat soldiers as human beings, Liu Xia's hand directly tightened the hearts of the soldiers and generals, not only Zhang Yuan, but also Liu Dazhuang and Wang Shishi, who followed in, also had slightly moist eyes.

Zhang Yuan secretly wiped away the wetness in his eyes, and then said to Liu Xia excitedly: "General, the last general has led all the generals to thank the general for such a great kindness."

"Hahaha, don't thank me, these are my soldiers after all, they follow me to charge for me and kill the enemy. It's a trivial thing for me to do this, and I don't deserve to be so grateful."

Originally, Liu Xia also wanted to say that in the future, he would build a special place to commemorate these dead soldiers, and then let people come to worship them every year, but there was no place to say at this time, and he didn't say it now.

Then Liu Xia wrote down the names of the dead soldiers and remembered them forever, and soon spread throughout the team, and the soldiers in the team also supported Liu Xia even more. Liu Xia's image was also magnified again among the soldiers because of this incident, and such a good leader didn't support it, so what else did he support?

Zhang Yuan wrote down the name of a dead soldier on a piece of yellowed torn paper that he didn't know where he got it, and then showed it to Liu Xia, who just looked at it. A person rushed in from outside, this person gasped for breath, and when he saw Liu Xia, he hurriedly said: "General, general, there is a line of Tartars not far outside, and now it will be almost a quarter of an hour to get to us."

The person who came in was Yu Mingjun, the captain of the scout team. When Liu Xia heard this, he asked, "How many Tartars are here?" ”

Yu Mingjun hurriedly said: "General, there are not many Tartars there, only twenty. But all of them are well-armed and strong, and they seem to be the elite troops of the Tartars, and they are some of them difficult to deal with."

As soon as Yu Mingjun finished speaking, Wang Shi on this side stopped doing it, and said to Yu Mingjun: "You guy." How can we grow the ambition of thieves and destroy our own prestige, we have nearly 200 people, not to mention that there are nearly 200 people, where are we afraid of them? The general gave me a squadron of men, and I killed the thief."

Yu Mingjun listened to Wang Shishi's words, his face was flushed, but he didn't know how to refute.

Liu Xia didn't listen to their noise, and thought to himself, could this elite army be the Baturu of the Qing army? It's the best of the best. It's hard to deal with. However, Liu Xia was not afraid of them, let alone when he had a great advantage in strength.

"Liu Dazhuang!" Liu Xia shouted. "You lead all the archers to ambush on both sides of the road."

"Yes, general, the last general will go" After speaking, Liu Dazhuang took the order and walked out quickly.

Then Liu Xia said: "Zhang Yuan, you brought the remaining brothers to ambush on both sides of the Tartars in two parts, and after the archers shot arrows, they rushed up and killed them, and they must not be allowed to escape."

"Yes, general," Zhang Yuan hurriedly walked out to order troops after speaking.

"Yu Mingjun, Wang Shishi, let's go too" After speaking, Liu Xia walked out with the two of them, Liu Xia wanted to see what the elite of the Qing army looked like, Liu Xia thought to himself that at this time, these Qing army Tartars didn't know that they were setting up an ambush on their way, so they shouldn't be much vigilant, so it should be easy to ambush.

If the Qing army's Baturu is killed this time, it will definitely be a good thing to boost morale, and his army should soon come out of the shadow of the Qing army, knowing that he is not worse than the elite of this Tartar at all.

At this time, Liu Dazhuang and Zhang Yuan's men and horses were already in place, just waiting for the Tartar men and horses to walk in. The more than 20 Baturu were all riding horses, but they were chatting and strolling, walking very slowly, and they didn't think that there was any danger in Yangzhou City at this time, and they didn't think that these people had basically been defeated against the Ming army, so they naturally didn't believe that the Ming army would dare to attack them.

As time passed, they finally walked into the encirclement, they didn't know that at this time there were more than a hundred Han soldiers surrounding them, they were still talking and laughing, all of them were big men, ** arms, many of them were walking and drinking spirits.

At this moment, Liu Dazhuang waved his hand, and more than forty archers in the team shot out the bow and arrow together, and shot seven or eight on the spot, and immediately the Tartar panicked, but it was the elite of the Tartar, and it was not scattered in a hurry, and it quickly recovered the shock, these people are the warriors of the Tartars, and they are all not afraid of death, so they did not retreat, but directly killed the front, originally Zhang Yuan thought that this Tartar encountered the archers' arrows, and must have retreated in fear, So he arranged a lot of the soldiers in the back with fifty people, and only more than thirty people in the front.

The remaining dozen or so Tartars rushed to the front, and the thirty soldiers who were supposed to guard the front immediately intercepted, but they couldn't compare with these Baturu in the Tartars, and as soon as the two sides touched Liu Xia's side, four of them died.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan ordered twenty people to stay here, and he rushed towards the tartar with thirty people, and the soldiers under Liu Dazhuang were not only shooting arrows, but also many were sword and shield soldiers, so he drew his own knife and rushed over.

Those Baturu knew that they would not be able to escape today, so they all ignored their injuries with red eyes, because of a wounded and vicious gray wolf, baring sharp teeth, holding a large knife and constantly slashing at the enemy in front of them.

Soon, under the deadly attack of the Tartars, Liu Xia's army suffered heavy casualties, and finally under the desperate resistance of more than 30 soldiers, Liu Dazhuang and Zhang Yuan's men and horses surrounded them, and the Tartars' Baturu were all surrounded.

When Liu Xia came here, the battle was basically over, and after counting, twenty Tartars died in this war, and Liu Xiajun died more than thirty people, which made Liu Xia's heart very cold. However, compared to Liu Xia's appearance, these soldiers and generals are very happy, because when they fought with the Tartars before, the number of dead people was several times that of the Tartars, and now the dead people are not much different from the Tartars, and the ones killed are still the elite of the Tartars, which is of course worth rejoicing, and at the same time their morale has also improved, which makes Liu Xia a little surprised, originally he thought that although this battle was won or lost, the morale would definitely be greatly reduced, but he didn't expect this result to be the result.

"Zhang Yuan, you have written down the names of the brothers who died this time, you can't forget them" Liu Xia sighed, he lost more than thirty people in this battle, and his strength dropped a little.

"Yes, General. General, this time it was the last general's carelessness, if the last general knew that these Tartars would rush over directly, he would not have deployed so few brothers in front, then he would not have died so many brothers" Zhang Yuan was indeed very guilty, especially because of his reasons, which led to the death of many brothers.

Liu Xia didn't mean to blame Zhang Yuan, after all, this Zhang Yuan didn't understand the habits of these warriors of the Tartars, these Baturu of the Tartars were not afraid of death, and there was no possibility of retreating on the battlefield, so every Baturu was very important to the Tartars.

If it weren't for the fact that the general of the Tartars, Duoduo, issued an order to let these Tartars enter the field to burn and loot for ten days, then Baturu Duoduo, who was missing so much, would definitely order an investigation immediately, and Liu Xia and the others would definitely be exposed in advance.

"General, we have captured ten fine horses, and the other ten were killed by arrows in battle, what should we do with these horses? In addition, we also found some gold, silver and jewelry from them," Liu Dazhuang walked over and said to Liu Xia.

Liu Xia thought about it, and decided that these war horses would not be ridden by themselves, and all of them would be given to the scout team, so that the scout team could maximize the benefits, so he said to Yu Mingjun: "Yu Mingjun, you go to Da Zhuang and take ten horses away, and equip them for the scouts."

"Thank you, general" Yu Mingjun heard it, Liu Xia gave them all these horses, and he was very happy, being a scout originally needed speed to deliver the news, there was no war horse before and could only run around on his legs, if he met a fast cavalry, the news had not yet arrived, and others had called, so the importance of this war horse for the scout.

Then Liu Xia continued: "As for the eight dead horses, don't waste them, we don't have much to eat now, right?" ”。

As soon as Liu Xia finished speaking, Wang En, the captain who managed the logistics food, said to Liu Xia: "It's the general, all the food we have now can only last for two days." Wang En is also one of the thirty strong men who followed Liu Xia, only because he was injured in a battle, and he also has some knowledge, Liu Xia let him manage logistics, this logistics is very important, not only to control the soldiers' food, Liu Xia also put the gold and silver there, and now the logistics troops have a horse and a horse-drawn cart.

"Then make all the eight horses into jerky, and all the soldiers who are okay participate in the jerky, and we must finish it as quickly as possible, because we can't stay in one place all the time, and put the money collected from the Tartars there," Liu Xia said to Wang En.

Then Liu Xia said: "In addition, I will eat all the meat for today's meal, treat the brothers well, and let everyone be full."

"It's the general, the subordinates will go and order" Wang En immediately said, Wang En is in charge of logistics, and this meal business is under his management.

"Shi, you take someone to find a place to bury the brothers who died in battle, you can't let the brothers die and don't have a place to live" Liu Xia sighed, in this era of war and chaos, human life is really worthless.
