Chapter 138: Battle - Both Sides
Lan Zhen immediately took Yun Xi and the others to the stable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ At this time, four or five hundred people had already come here and mounted their horses, and more than a hundred people were waiting in line to lead the horses, and there were still three or four hundred people in front of Lan Lian to block the Mongol cavalry. The rest were either dead or hiding in their tents waiting to die.
Lan Zhen asked her to take more than 200 soldiers to the fence to replace Lan Lian and his party and come back to get on the horse.
At this time, there was a rumbling sound again, Lan Zhen's face changed, she dismounted and put her ears on the ground to listen, and said, "There are at least three thousand cavalry, and they must go immediately." Then he mounted his horse and led the mounted soldiers to the back of the camp, and Yun Xi followed him closely.
Lan Zhen and his party rode to a small gate in the back camp, and Lan Zhen went out while letting the guards push open the block to make the door bigger.
But before all the soldiers left the rear camp, there were already Mongol soldiers who had already touched it.
It turned out that Tugan led his troops into the front camp and killed the Ming soldiers in the front camp, and after killing the Ming soldiers in the front camp, he also found that it was still divided into the front and rear camps, and then immediately left 500 people to prepare, and the remaining Mongolian soldiers scattered in one or twenty people to search for the place where the soldiers of the rear camp escaped, because he expected that the Ming army would not dare to defend and wait for the reinforcements that would arrive after two or three days to put the prince in danger.
The leader of the Mongol soldiers, who found them in Yunxi, was a chief, and when he saw them, he immediately blew his whistle, then turned his horse and fled backwards. He still wants to keep his life and go to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness.
But Lan Zhen also reacted very quickly, and with an order, hundreds of people took arrows and opened their bows, shooting these dozen Mongolian soldiers to death in the blink of an eye.
But Lan Zhen's face became even more solemn, and she looked back at the dozens of people who were still in the back camp and said, "Go immediately." β
One of the hundred households said: "Liang Guogong, there are still people who have not come out!" β
Lan Zhen said: "It's too late, let them ask for their own blessings." Then he galloped east with Yoon-hee, who didn't know what to do, and the other soldiers.
Although Lan Zhen shot the group of Mongols the moment they blew the whistle, the sharp-eared Yexian Tugan still heard the whistle, and then he said loudly: "All the warriors, follow me to capture the prince of the Southern Barbarians!" Then he rushed forward with the Mongol soldiers who were still there.
==========================================================
Wang Ma, who was stationed at Yanghe Fort, also woke up when the whistle sounded in Yexian Tugan, and he also went north to participate in the Northern Expedition. But at first, he thought that a small group of Mongolian soldiers had infiltrated him, and he didn't care, and he also felt that there were more than 2,000 people outside the fort who could cooperate with the small group of Mongolian soldiers who could completely annihilate them.
But when he reached the wall of the fort, he saw that something was wrong, and he saw at a glance that the Mongol soldiers had broken through half of the camp, and the rumbling of horses' hooves sounded in the northeast, and there must have been thousands of Mongol soldiers rushing towards this side.
Wang Ma immediately shouted, "Hurry up and light the beacon!" Then he immediately ran to the top of the beacon.
The soldiers of the beacon tower were really stunned. The king immediately went and pumped the soldier's two big mouths, and then lit the beacon fire himself.
Then Wang Ma descended from the beacon tower and came to the main hall, and sure enough, the five hundred households had been awakened by the rumbling of horses' hooves, and then gathered into the hall.
Wang Ma stood at the door and said, "Everyone go and gather the soldiers of this hundred households at once, and then follow me to the fort to attack the Mongol soldiers." β
One of the hundred households said: "Wang Qianhu, there are only thirty horses in the fort, and there are thousands of Mongolian soldiers below, and if you go down rashly, the whole army will be wiped out!" β
Wang Ma shouted, "His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince is down there!" If His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson fails, who of us can escape His Majesty's thunderous wrath! Men are slaves from generation to generation, women are advocates from generation to generation, who wants their descendants to be like this! β
When the hundred households heard Wang Ma's words, their faces turned pale, and they stopped talking and went down to gather their soldiers.
At this time, the civil officials Qi Tai and Lian Zining, who stayed in Yanghe Fort, came over. It turned out that because Qi Tai and Lian Zining were civil officials, Yun Xi forced them to stay in the fort by giving an order last night.
Qi Tai said anxiously: "Wang Baihu, Your Highness is attacked, you have to go down immediately to support Your Highness!" β
Wang Ma said: "Lord Qi Shuzi, I have already called all the soldiers up, and then go down to the fort to support." β
Qi Tai said: "Okay, give me and Lian Zining a knife, and we will go down too." β
Wang Ma persuaded: "Lord Qi Shuzi, Master Lian, you still stay in the castle, you, the two adults will not help if they go down!" β
Lian Zining said: "Your Highness is in danger, how can we, as subordinate officials of the East Palace, ignore it!" β
Wang Ma looked back at the more and more soldiers gathered, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Qi Tai and Lian Zining. He strode forward, knocking them unconscious before they could react. Then walk towards a small clearing inside the fort.
By this time five hundred soldiers had already risen, two hundred had gathered in the open space inside the fort, and the rest of the soldiers were crowded around.
Wang Ma mounted his horse, turned around and shouted: "Brothers of Yanghe Fort, now the imperial grandson is under the castle, if His Royal Highness the imperial grandson is at fault, then we will definitely be punished by His Majesty, the male will be a slave on his behalf, and the woman will be a slave on his behalf." In order to rescue His Royal Highness, for our children and grandchildren to live like individuals, follow me to the fort. β
Then the king and horse rushed out of the fortress first. More than 90 people from 400 households and 100 households rushed out of the fortress with Wang Ma after him, and the remaining ten people took Qi Tai and Lian Zining to the beacon tower.
==========================================================
Qianhu Ning Wei of Huailaiwei in the east was in charge of guarding tonight. He was following Xu Da's night reading of the military book, when suddenly the soldiers on duty on the beacon tower came down and said: "Ning Qianhu, the Yanghe Fort in the west has lit a beacon fire, and the fire is still very big. β
Ning Wei put down the military book and walked up to the beacon tower, and found that the beacon fire in the west was indeed very large. It turns out that there was a system in the Ming Dynasty, and the size of the fire that lit the beacon fire indicated the number of Mongolian soldiers, although it was not very accurate, but it could also roughly let the nearby guards know the approximately. Therefore, when Ning Yuan saw this situation, he knew that Yanghe Fort was doing his best to light the beacon fire again, and immediately muttered to himself: "There are so many Mongolian people attacking Yanghe Fort? β
Then he immediately remembered that a few days ago, Yun Xi went west from Huailai Wei, estimated the time, probably near Yanghe Fort, and immediately changed his face, and ran down the beacon tower to the residence of the commander Yu Yao.
Yu Yao rubbed her sleepy eyes and met Ning Wei. Ning Wei ran in and immediately said to Yu Yao: "Commander, the Yanghe Fort in the west has lit a beacon fire!" β
Yu Yao said in a daze: "Yanghe Fort is the fortress of Mountain Selenium Tianchengwei." β
Ning Wei saw that he hadn't reacted yet, and said loudly: "Commander Yu, His Highness passed here a few days ago, and now he is mostly around there." β
Yu Yao said: "What's mostly there," and then reacted, his face turned white, and he was completely awake, and he stood up and said, "Wake up all the soldiers of the cavalry thousand households immediately." Then he said to his own soldiers: "Wake up all the thousands of households, the servants, and the same knowledge at once." A few people obeyed.
In a short time, all the thousands of households, servants, and acquaintances gathered in the council hall. They didn't know what was going on, but they noticed the pale faces of Ning Wei and Yu Yao, who was on duty, and secretly guessed what was going on.
The commander Yu Yao didn't give them too much time to guess, glanced over and asked, "Where are the thousands of households?" β
A servant said: "The criminal family went to the city today to see his wife and children. β
Yu Yao said: "I was relieved of the post of Qianhu who was far away, demoted to the head soldier, and the deputy Qianhu temporarily replaced the position of Qianhu. β
The commander had to say more, and Yu Yao had already said: "The beacon tower was lit in Yanghe Fort just now, and His Highness probably marched to the vicinity of Yanghe Fort at this time. β
Then he looked at the officer who was also pale, and continued: "It is not certain whether His Highness was attacked, but if His Highness loses, I won't say much about what will happen to us, everyone can imagine it." β
"Peng Ju, after dawn, you gather three thousand households and set off for Yanghe Fort; The infantry marched at night, and in case of cavalry attack, most of them would scatter. β
"Ning Wei, immediately call the cavalry Qianhu and set off with me to Yanghe Fort."
"Sun Tai, immediately send someone to light the beacon tower, and then send someone to the valley king's mansion to inform His Royal Highness the valley king of this matter, and all the guards along the way must know."
Then Yu Yao went down to put on his armor.
At this time, the two soldiers of the cavalry Qianhu were chatting quietly. One of them was called Ma Ying, and everyone called him Ma Laosan, and the other said: "He Gang, I remember that your kid is more than two years old, how is it, can you speak?" β
He Gang said with a satisfied face: "I can speak." I also saved some money, planning to send him to study when he is seven years old, and begged our soap flag Zhang and Zhang Baihu to teach him martial arts, and strive to make up for the Guwang Mansion as a guard when he grows up, or enter the martial arts hall of the Beijing Division. β
Ma Laosan said: "It's quite far away. But I said that it is still possible to enter the Guwang Mansion as a guard, and it is too difficult to enter the martial arts hall. β
He Gang said: "You'll know when you have a child." I also know that it is difficult to enter the martial arts hall, but if people don't have ideals, what's the difference between them and salted fish! β
Ma Laosan said: "I haven't read a book, and I can't imagine going with someone like you who has read a book." β
He Gang said: "Anyone who has read a book or has not read a book is not all serving as soldiers and eating imperial food." By the way, you are also a big boss, do you have a daughter-in-law? β
Ma Laosan heard He Gang say this, and said with a smile: "Yes, my father told me about a daughter-in-law from an ordinary farmer's family; I've seen it, it's a big butt, it's a fertile one. β
He Gang said: "Congratulations, then I'll wait for your house to set up the wine." β
