Text Chapter 5: Killing the Northern Captives (1)

"Gotcha, gotta gotta gotta gotta got." Horses' hooves stepped on the thin white snow, bringing up bursts of crystal clear snowflakes, and a total of 20 horses galloped on the snow-covered yellow earth in northern Shaanxi.

There are knights on these 20 horses, among which a knight who runs in the front is about 20 years old, wearing a mink hat produced by the Jurchens of Liaodong, wearing a brocade dress produced in the Ming Dynasty, and a Mongolian scimitar hanging from his waist, a nondescript dress, but the knight's face is still relatively handsome.

"Tuhuan Taiji, you ride slowly, this is already the boundary of the Ming Kingdom, and there is a Han people's Duntai Fort further on, you have a golden body, you have to be careful, don't touch the way of the Han people." The person who spoke was behind the young man Yingting, about a horse behind.

"What are you afraid of, Uncle Hurcha, I haven't been hurt for a while since I followed my father south to hunt when I was 16 years old. The Han people have always been weak, and they only dare to hide in the piers and fortresses, and it would be good if we didn't fight them, how dare they come out and fight us. The young man seems to have been quite unimpressed by the advice of the man named Huercha.

"Yes, I used to follow the flower Ezhen (leader), and now I follow the change of Taiji, and every year I go south to plunder, and the Ming army is hiding in the city and not daring to fight. Those poorly guarded forts are okay, those poorly guarded forts, let's open whichever one we want. Every time, you can grab a lot of iron pots, kitchen knives, tea, grain, and capture a lot of Han people as slaves, hehe, the most important thing is that you can also grab Han women with fine skin and tender meat. Every time we loot, our casualties are minimal, and it makes sense for Tuhuan to say that he is not afraid of the Han people, but it is you! Are you so afraid of the Han people, aren't you afraid of breaking the name of our flower scattering department? The person who spoke was also behind the young man Yingting, about the position of a horse, and it was clear from the position that he and Huercha were both the personal guards of the young man.

"Utreer, shut your broken mouth. Before going south this time, the leader handed over the Dehuan Taiji to me, I must ensure that the Dehuan is thorough, just imagine, if the Dehuan Taiji has a mistake, and the forehead is really angry, how can you, me, and the families of these soldiers behind him still have their lives? It seems that Huercha did not dare to persuade the young man too much, but he did not pretend to Utre and scolded him sharply.

Utrek was taught a lesson by Huercha, but he didn't dare to attack, although he was quite dissatisfied with Huercha's words, but because Huercha was a personal soldier who had followed Sahua Ezhen for many years, even Tuhuan Taiji had to respect him a little, so he had to snort heavily, and wrote an expression of disbelief on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Hearing the quarrel behind him, the young man frowned slightly, he thought about it for a while, and then lowered his horse's speed slightly, ran to the position level with Huercha, and said to Huercha: "Uncle Huercha, you are right, the Han people have always been cunning, and they may not eat their plots, so I will follow you." ”

"Well, well, you, you, and you, you," said Hulcha, turning back to the four knights, "you run ahead to cover the wings." ”

"Yes." The four knights answered, and then marched forward, escorting the young man to the left and right.

"Dehuan Taiji, the leader is old, according to the rules of the grassland, if the family is separated, some people will follow the old rabbit Taiji, but we want to follow you, you must always be careful and protect yourself."

"I remember, thank you Uncle Huercha, when I become Ezhen, you will still be in your current position." The young man drew the flatbread first and showed it to Huercha.

"Xie Tuhuan Taiji." Hurca said with a happy look.

After saying this, the young man was speechless, he concentrated on controlling the horses, and thought about things silently in his heart.

However, it is said that this heroic young man is the sprinkling flower department under the account of the Mongolian Chahar Khanate, this tribe often operates at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the total population of the tribe is more than 500 people, excluding more than 100 Han slaves, about 400 Mongolians, and more than 100 people who control the strings. The leader of this tribe is called Sahua, and this person has two sons under his knees, the eldest son is this Yingting young man, called Tuhuan, and the second son is called Lao Tu'er (the Mongols take the name quite arbitrarily).

This time led 19 people south to plunder is the eldest son of Sahua Tuhuan, originally their Chahar Khanate Khan Lin Dan Khan was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, his Mongols should not go south to plunder, but they can't stand Mongolia is too poor, Ming is too weak, and now it is also a little poor, so there is no large-scale invasion that is, and small-scale "autumn wind" is there every year. Looking at the direction they were traveling, they were heading towards the pier where Liu Renyu was.

*******************************************************************************

"Renyu, look, the Mongols are coming, the Mongols are coming, there are 20 of them." Li Jiye, who had a great increase in force because of the harsh training, couldn't help but say to Liu Renyu excitedly when he saw that the Mongols had finally come.

Liu Renyu looked in the direction pointed by Li Jiye, he nodded, and said, "I also counted it, it is indeed 20 people, not many people, a small army." Let's smoke the wolf. ”

"Okay." He Ergou and Zhang Tieniu responded, and then they mixed the half-wet firewood with grease and lit it up to burn out a billowing column of black smoke, and in a short time, one after another pillars of smoke passed from near and far to the south.

"Look, the Han people are putting smoke again, every time it's like this, except for burning firewood, how dare they come out to fight." Seeing the wolf smoke rising again, the accustomed Dehuan Taiji laughed.

"Yes, the Han people are like sheep on the steppe, born to be hunted by our Mongolian hunters." Utrek flattered.

The Mongol knights around them burst into laughter, and everyone began to discuss happily where to rob later, where there was plenty of oil and water, where the place was not easy to rob, where the Han people liked to hide their food and goods, and so on.

In the eyes of these Mongol knights, this plundering to the south would be another pleasant armed procession, and a large amount of goods and children and jade silks were waiting for them.

It can be said that if there was no Liu Renyu's existence, this time they should be able to go back without wind and danger, but this time, since Liu Renyu saw them, he would definitely not let them harm the people of Daming.

******************************************************************************

"Jiye, they're going to attack us later, let's get ready." Liu Renyu saw that the 20 Mongols were getting closer and closer to the pier, and hurriedly said to Li Jiye.

"They're not going to attack us." Li Jiye shook his head and replied.

"Why?" Liu Renyu was puzzled.

"Hehe, except for a few poor soldiers here, we don't have much oil and water, what are the Mongols doing when they come to fight us?" Li Jiye sneered.

"I see." Liu Renyu said suddenly, after hearing this, he seemed to remember something, and he asked Li Jiye, "Then why did you tell me before that there was an 18-year-old boy in our Duntai who died in battle with the Mongols." ”

"This," Li Jiye seemed quite embarrassed, but he still gave the answer, "Last year, the Mongols went south to plunder and loot some things, as well as our Ming people. The people were tied up with ropes, and went north in strings, and when they came to us, one of the people probably couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to the ground and died, and a Mongol came up and cut the rope, intending to throw the dead man aside, and then there was a little girl behind the man who happened to be the last person tied on the rope, and she took this opportunity to run towards us, and she, well, was crying and shouting for help, we,"

Speaking of this, Li Jiye's face turned slightly red, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed to continue, "We didn't dare to go out to save her, but at this time, a Mongolian chased after her, and immediately pressed the little girl to the ground, and then did the beast's thing. At this time, Ma Xiaoer couldn't stand it anymore, he said that his sister was as big as the little girl, and he couldn't bear this breath, so he ignored our dissuasion and insisted on going down to save the girl, but Ma Xiaoer was shot in the neck with an arrow, and the girl was ruined and killed. Poor Ma Xiaoer, it took a quarter of an hour to die, alas. ”

"Oh, I see." Liu Renyu sighed.

Originally, Liu Renyu just sighed casually, and had no other meaning, but Li Jiye somehow always felt that Liu Renyu seemed to have deliberately lengthened his throat, his face was even redder, and he hurriedly followed: "But it's not that we don't want to kill the enemy and save the people, but it's really powerless, and we don't care about being officials, what can we do." ”

Li Jiye's nonsensical words, but Liu Renyu could understand it, Liu Renyu knew that Li Jiye was afraid that he would laugh at himself and they would not dare to save the people, so he was relieved: "At that time, you couldn't even eat enough, and you had resentment in your heart, how could you be willing to fight hard, besides, so many Mongolians can kill and plunder in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and those who dare to punish should be those Shangguan, you will be sent to death if you go, why bother!" ”

Liu Renyu was so relieved that the trace of guilt in Li Jiye's heart disappeared.

The two talked for a while, the group of Mongolians had come to the position about 90 steps away from the pier, originally this position was still a little dangerous in theory, but the group of confident Mongolians thought that the Ming army did not dare to shoot them with arrows, and even if someone dared to shoot, they generally could not shoot accurately, so they swaggered in the Ming army's visible range of activities, looking like Lao Tzu was going to disgust you, without any scruples.

"Iron Bull." Liu Renyu shouted.

"Yes." Iron Bull Road.

"Didn't you see the Mongol in a mink hat and dressed in red."

Zhang Tieniu glanced at it and replied, "I saw it." ”

"Okay, shoot him, is it difficult?" Liu Renyu asked.

"It's 90 steps away, it's a little far, I can only try." After Zhang Tieniu finished speaking, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, aiming for a long time, before an arrow was released, only to hear the sound of "wave", the sound of the bowstring, and the arrow to leave. After a while, there was a "poof", and he was in the middle of the extreme range of 90 steps, but unfortunately he was not killed, but only shot in the arm.

But he said that when he was thinking about how to rob, he did not watch out for a feathered arrow that broke through the air, and hit him in the left arm, and in pain, he reflexively pulled the reins, and the horse under his seat suddenly stood up in a galloping state, and almost threw him off the horse.

Seeing that Tuhuan was suddenly attacked, Huercha was not too panicked, and before Huercha gave an order, a group of knights stopped their mounts and quickly formed a circle to surround Tuhuan in the formation to prevent the enemy from attacking again.

At the moment when Tuohuan was struck by the arrow, Huercha immediately stopped his horse, rolled his saddle and dismounted, tore Tuohuan off his horse, and pulled him to hide next to his own horse to prevent further attacks from the enemy.

After waiting for a while, no more feather arrows struck, and Huercha breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to check the types of feather arrows so that he could pull them out, but unexpectedly, he pulled out the feather arrows from his arms and threw them on the ground.

Seeing that he stood up, regardless of the fact that his left arm was still bleeding, he looked at the pier where Liu Renyu and the others were over there, gritted his teeth and rattled, and said hatefully: "I didn't expect that the Ming dog in the small pier would dare to sneak attack me with arrows, left and right, and I will fight this pier, and the Ming dogs inside will not be injured, I will cut them one by one." ”

"Yes," the Mongol knights replied, and then made a sound of "Yo-he-he-he-he", kicked their horses in the belly, took their bows in their hands, and surrounded the pier.

Hu Ercha waited for Tuohuan to say these words domineeringly, and hurriedly took out the gold sore medicine to bandage his own Taiji, he pricked it and said with disgust: "Tuohuan, but it's not me who wants to talk about you, how can this arrow be pulled out at will, in case the Ming people are vicious and shoot with a big arrow, you pull out the arrow, you can't stop the bleeding, but how is it good." Oh, and besides, I just checked the arrows, and it doesn't smell like feces and urine, so I just need to apply it with gold sore medicine. ”

Tuohuan was angry, but Huercha was a person who couldn't afford to offend, so he had to make a heavy "um" sound, and then turned over and got on the horse, and galloped towards the pier in pain.
