Bapanling is not an independent mountain, but a general term for the mountains in the north of Qinghe City, and Tiesha Mountain is the highest peak among them. The vast mountain range stretches to the east of the Qinghe River, forming a natural barrier to defend Qinghe City, the main transportation route to Shenyang.

Yue Xiang immediately understood the name of Goat Yubao as soon as he heard it. The castle is located at the foot of the northern hill of the Bapanling Mountains, at the source of the Magendan River. Further north is Dongzhou Fort and Magendan Fort, and further north is Fushun Pass. Out of the border wall of Fushun Pass is the territory of Jianzhou Jurchen. Although this group of Jianzhou soldiers is a guerrilla war, after all, they are different from rogue horse thieves in the real sense, they must have their own supply bases, and the best place is the Fushun area.

This place has been completely swept by the Eighth Banner Army a month ago, and now it is basically out of population. The castles of Dongzhou and Magendan have been garrisoned by the Ming army, and the people have fled, which is definitely a ready-made stronghold, and Fushun Pass has also been demolished. Here and Qinghe and other places are only separated by a Bapanling, which can be turned over the mountain at any time to raid and plunder, and can also be used as an outpost to investigate the movement of the Ming army, killing two birds with one stone.

And the Jianzhou soldiers in Qinghe have only one way to go back. To the south is the Taizi River, it is naturally impossible to fly over, to the east is the Yahu Pass controlled by the Ming army, and to the west, it is deep into the Liaoyang area, the nest of the Ming army. He wanted to return to the supply base address, and he had to go north over Bapanling and take a road from Goatyu Fort to Fushun Pass.

On the undulating mountain road, three hundred elite cavalry marched through the mountains under the leadership of Yue Xiang.

The surrounding towering green peaks and lush forests of the slopes are shaded by giant trees, and the slopes are covered with wild grasses and flowers, and the scenery is prosperous, full of the magnificent beauty of the original ecology. It's just that the whining wind is blowing, adding a bit of desolation and heroism to this prosperous scene.

The absolutely magnificent scenery will definitely be developed into a tourist attraction in the era that Yue Xiang is familiar with. Yue Xiang is not a stranger to the deer here, in his memory he has been to this Bapanling before, although there is no artificial development and propaganda from the government, but many people in Qinghe City know that Bapanling is a scene within a radius of one hundred and eighty miles. He remembered that when he came here in the past, he also improvised a poem to praise the scenery of this ridge.

usually lies in the snow like Yuan An, who is willing to commit bitter cold in the early morning. In the Baipi class, because of the clan, you have to see it from afar on the Bapan Ridge. Layer by layer, the Que Qiong building towers, Nana Qiankun Yuyu wide. I look forward to where the fairy mountain is, and I want to go from here.

It's a pity that he has completely lost his original good mood when he stretches out the beautiful scenery, and he just wants to cross these mountains as soon as possible and catch up with those damn Jianzhou thieves. With his familiarity with the path of this place and the various traces left in front of him, he has been chasing non-stop.

The four officers of the East Factory were tied to their horses and accompanied by him, and if they did not catch up with them or proved to be wrong. The four of them were about to fall to the ground immediately.

Fifty family members were left behind in the tunzi of the Weining battalion, and the lightly wounded, the severed heads, and the six captured Jurchen bandits returned to Qinghe first. When Zou Chuxian left, he made it clear that he couldn't come to see Quansheng. Escorting back a group of prisoners and heads by himself first can be regarded as having an explanation first. As for the dead on their own side, they can only bury them on the spot, and they have time to return their bodies to their hometowns. And the most unlucky Weining camp residents, Yue Xiang didn't know how to appease them, so he simply pushed it to Zou Chuxian. He's a parent official, so let him worry about it.

"My lord, I found an overturned carriage in front of you!" The sharp soldiers of the entire team rushed forward to report to Yue Xiang. Yue Xiang was frightened, and hurriedly went to the front to watch, but saw that his carriage had broken its axle and fell on the side of the road.

If the car breaks down, the person must have taken it away. The road out of the mountain is almost in front, and it is not far down the mountain to Goat Valley. I don't know how many enemies are waiting for me there, and I don't know if Goat Yu Fort is still in the hands of the Ming army. These 300 people are the lifeblood of their own business, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big trouble.

Since the fall of the three cities of Fushun, Goat Yubao has also lost contact with the rear. There was chaos in various places, and no one had the time to send people to find out the real situation on the ground. Although Qinghe and Goatyu are both fortified cities, Qinghe is located in a strategic place, as the east gate of Liaoyang, the natural city of Gaochi is heavily guarded. Goatyu is different, it belongs to the type of outpost stronghold, the product of Jiajing 25 years, the circumference is less than one kilometer, and it is naturally a small number of soldiers.

It would not be surprising if such a castle fell. Maybe there is a brigade of the Eight Banners Army in Goat Valley, waiting for the prey to throw themselves into the net. But Yue Xiang just hesitated for a moment and ordered the troops to move on, if he couldn't even save his wife, what else to talk about? The team is not used for hoarding, it is used for fighting at critical moments, and the idea of retaining strength is unacceptable.

Thousands of iron hooves beat the earth, and herds of horses galloped away on the way out of the mountain. The terrain gradually eased, and the vegetation on both sides of the mountains gradually thinned, and Yue Xiang saw the rushing Magendan River and the Goat Valley Fort towering over the river in the distance. At the same time, he also saw a troop of cavalry advancing unhurriedly along the west bank of the river.

"There it is! Chase, catch them! Yue Xiang's eyes were somehow so good, and he saw a little blush in the herd of horses from the clairvoyant mirror, and an indescribable excitement rushed straight to his mind, and he rushed down the mountain with a slamming mount. The family members behind him were in high spirits, pulled out their weapons and rushed down with him.

A herd of horses trampled across the upper shoals of the Magendan River, and flew across the west bank with their hooves, and all the horses spread their hooves, and the riders no longer reserved their strength, and raised their sabers and lances above their heads, and the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder accompanied by the rolling dust, and the three hundred elite horsemen swept towards the target in front of them with the momentum of wind and clouds.

Those Jianzhou horse thieves had actually seen Yue Xiang's horse team a long time ago, and they thought that their own rear team had rushed over, but they were still unhurried at first. But then I realized that the number of people was not high, and I immediately felt that it was not good. As hundreds of horsemen shouted and rushed out of the pass, they also scattered their horses and ran forward.

"Chase! They must not be allowed to escape! Yue Xiang's eyes burned with two charcoal fires, desperately urging the horse. Two groups of cavalry engaged in a chase over the Pingchuan on the west bank of the Magendan River.

Someone has to be! The war horses under the crotch are all high-quality Mongolian horse war horses. But the speed seems to have reached the limit, and the distance from the person in front of him is always maintained. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the foot of Goatyu Fort, Yue Xiang couldn't help but ask the gods to worship the Buddha that there must be his own people stationed in the prayer bag, even if they came out to stop them, after all, there were only a dozen people. But there was no movement in the fort, and these dozen or so people also did not enter the city, and frantically fled north.

Strange, Yue Xiang glanced at the city when he chased past the castle, and seemed to see someone. But why didn't anyone move, the dozen or so people didn't cross the city, and there were no Jianzhou soldiers in the city to stop them, obviously this fort was not under the control of the Jurchens. But if it is under the control of the Ming army, why not come out to support? If it's deserted, it seems that I just saw someone again...... But at this moment, he didn't have time to think about it, so he threw the three-pointed knife in his hand, and then threw away his helmet as well.

"Remove your armor, remove all your armor, and throw away all the things you don't need!" Yue Xiang stripped off his helmet and began to pull down the iron armor on his body again. Throw them back one by one. This kind of cotton iron armor weighed more than 30 catties, and after all of them were removed, Yue Xiang only had a sword and a bow and arrow left in his hand, but it reduced the weight of the war horse by more than 70 catties, and the speed of the war horse was obviously improved. Yue Xiang took off the big strong bow and reached out to touch the arrow into the quiver.

If the officers and soldiers were replaced, they might not have the courage, but Yue Xiang's family members were all outlaws, and seeing the boss so brave, they all followed suit, and for a while, all kinds of clothes and armor were thrown all over the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves was obviously light and dense.

The distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing, and the Jianzhou horse thieves who are galloping in front have never seen such a stubborn and fierce Ming army. Everyone was frightened, and the bravery shown by this group of Ming cavalry was definitely not inferior to any of their Eight Banners Army. At first, I still had the heart to go back to fight, but now I don't have this idea, so I just run forward with my head stuffy.

However, this group of Ming troops was chasing after each other, and after running out in one breath, Yue Xiang's advantage in light troops began to appear, and seeing that it was gradually approaching, Yue Xiang opened his bow and raised his hand. There was a whooshing sound in mid-air, and the wolf's tooth arrow pierced through the cowhide armor of a man, and the shoulder and shaft of the arrow were exposed from his chest, and the man fell from his horse with a scream, and died on the spot.

The Jianzhou soldiers in front saw that they could no longer get rid of the pursuers, and at the same time turned their horses' heads, intending to turn around and fight hard. But another arrow flew and pierced the other's neck. Followed by a man and a horse, he broke into the team directly, and the long knife in his hand drew a beautiful arc, and one person used the knife to block, but the saber was cut off, and he flew into the air with blood along with his own head.

The rest of the cavalry were shocked, but they didn't expect that there were such brave people among the Han people, and the people surrounded Yue Xiang with the idea of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and slashed and beat indiscriminately. Yue Xiang was like a mad lion, the sword in his hand flew up and down, dancing out of a piece of silver light, and cut off several weapons, and then chopped off a person off the horse with a backhand knife, and pulled his horse rope with his hand, and dragged it to the side, just because there was a woman tied to his horse, it was his wife Chen Xiaowan.

Only then did these Jianzhou soldiers understand that they dared to love this was not a soft persimmon, and it was too late to continue to flee with their horses, and the hundreds of cavalry behind them came to cover and kill, and immediately wrapped them in under the outflanking of the left and right. Yue Xiang pulled the horse out of the circle, and no matter how fierce these more than ten Jurchen soldiers were, they were not the opponents of hundreds of Ming troops who were also fierce. After inflicting three deaths and one injury on the other side, all of them were knocked off their horses and trampled into pulp.

The maid was also saved, but she fainted like her master. Yue Xiang looked at Chen, whose eyes were closed, and felt a pain in his heart.

"Ziyi, hurry back to the city, the Zou army is still waiting. My younger siblings will go back to the city and find a doctor to treat them well. Dong Mingchuan and Ma Gong cut off all the heads of the corpses underground, urging him to leave quickly. This is already close to the Jianzhou Jurchen's activity area, and a month ago, thousands of Jianzhou cavalry were burning and killing here, maybe they haven't left yet. They don't want that.

"Well, collect the troops, go back to ......" Yue Xiang held Chen in his arms, and the words were not finished. But he heard a rumbling sound coming from behind the hillside to the north. Suddenly, his voice froze, and he listened attentively, and his face changed more and more. It's the sound of horses' hooves, and a massive convoy of horses is rapidly approaching here!

Yue Xiang could even smell the murderous aura blowing in the air.

Could it be that the main force of the Eight Banners Army is still in this area and has not been withdrawn? I hit the muzzle? Seeing that Dong Ma and the others were equally colorless, it was too late to run back to the mountains of Bapanling, so he immediately shouted: "Withdraw!" The whole army immediately withdrew to Goatyu Fort! ”

As they turned to run, countless cavalry and horses suddenly rushed to the top of the hillside. Huge white flags were unfurled in the wind, and the cavalrymen in white helmets and white armor let out a wild whistling sound, and then rushed down like a flood of open gates, like an endless river of ice rolling in, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Yue Xiang looked back while galloping on his horse. White helmet, white armor, white flag. Is this the White Armor Army of Chen Qingzhi of the Southern Dynasty? No, definitely not. White clothes and white armor...... By the way, isn't there a white flag inside the Eight Flags?

White Flag...... White Flag...... He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly his body shook and blurted out.

"White flag?! Huang Taiji is here! ”
