Chapter 144: Katyn – The Beginning

On the third day of October, Zhu Xi led an army of more than 20,000 people to meet with Yun Xi again. After greeting www.biquge.info for a while, Zhu Lu said, "I'm glad you're fine. Come back to Xuanfu with me to repair and then go to Datong. ”

Yun Xi gritted his teeth and said, "I still have something to do, how can I go back here!" ”

Zhu Yu said: "What else do you have to do?" Are you searching for your guards? I'll let the soldiers I bring find them all. ”

Yun Xi looked at Zhu Di with a smile, if Zhu Di was here, he would definitely know what he was going to do. Zhu Xi's words almost made Yun Xi's momentum disappear.

Yun Xi asked, "Have you informed all the guards and fortresses to prepare for the attack of the Mongols?" ”

Zhu Lu said: "That's nature. ”

Yun Xi ignored him anymore, and said to Yu Yao, the commander of Huai Laiwei on the side: "Does your army still have the strength to fight?" ”

Yu Yao said: "Why not! ”

Yun Xi looked at all the commanders of the army brought by Zhu Xi in front of him, and said, "Now I order you, all the troops to attack forward, pursue the Mongol soldiers, and not let them run to the grassland!" ”

Before the officer could speak, Zhu Lu said, "You want to fight with the Mongol soldiers!" Such a large-scale attack will not work without His Majesty's permission! ”

Yun Xi said: "Now it's a war within the Great Wall!" It was the Mongols who committed the first crimes! Not an offense!"

Zhu Yu looked at Yun Xi's blood-red eyes and didn't dare to speak.

Yun Xi then turned his head and continued to say to the officers: "Soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, now that your opportunity to make meritorious service has come, whoever can destroy the most Mongolian soldiers will be rewarded alone!" ”

The officers below were all moved. Since the 21st year of Hongwu, the Mongol soldiers have rarely invaded the border again, and they rarely have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but this is a great opportunity for meritorious service; Zhu Lu on the side had no objection, so they said in unison: "Yes, Your Highness!" ”

Yun Xi first muttered: "Chen Xing, Qin Nan, Lan Lian, I will avenge you!" Then he said to Lan Zhen: "Lan Qing, you come to command them." ”

Lan Zhen washed her face, making her same blood-red eyes a little better, and walked over and said, "I will not be dishonored!" Then he commanded the army and began to move forward.

At this time, Qin Song ran over and said, "Your Highness, let me be the pioneer!" ”

Yun Xi said: "No! Your eldest brother is dead, and I can't put you in danger again! ”

Qin Song fell to his knees and cried, "Your Highness! I'm going to avenge my brother with my own hands! ”

Seeing that he was so resolute, Yun Xi could only agree.

At this time, Yang Feng also came over and said, "Your Highness! I also want to avenge the pioneers and the brothers who died! ”

Before Yun Xi could answer, Lan Zhen said: "No, there are only three of you guards from the capital, you must stay to protect Your Highness." ”

Yang Feng opened his mouth and said, "I ......" but he looked at the red eyes of Lan Zhen and Qin Song, two people who had brothers who died at the hands of the Mongolian soldiers, and swallowed back the words behind him.

Lan Zhen took the cavalry as the main force, and led the first with herself, leaving the infantry to follow behind. There is no technical content at this stage, that is, to the west first to the east of Huashan, where the Mongol soldiers must have withdrawn to the north, and Lan Zhen planned to see where the beacon fire would be lit, and then go to the place where the beacon fire would be lit; Of course, the Mongolian soldiers are likely to have suspicious tactics, and it is difficult to see how many of them there are at night, but Yun Xi is not afraid, because he has many soldiers now, and he is not afraid of dividing the troops.

After shooting some of the Mongol soldiers, the hunter Chen Hu and his son, who had returned to the mountains, and other mountain people were walking on the mountain. Chen Lijie asked his father, "Why did you leave in such a hurry?" ”

Chen Hu said: "Why don't you leave after killing the Tartars?" I see that the person chasing this Tartar is also very embarrassed, even if he wants to reward him, he is estimated to have no money, so he will not come back quickly. And these big people love to twitter crookedly, and let people like us be their guards; I'm not used to that. As for you, don't even think about it until I die! ”

========================================================

He returned with his troops, and after meeting Yexian Tugan, he told him about it: "The prince, the minister is incompetent, and he failed to capture the crown prince of Nanban. ”

When he heard that he was only about to succeed, he beat his chest with remorse. However, he also recovered and said: "Since it has not been successful, then withdraw the troops immediately and return to the grassland; Although he didn't catch the prince of Nanban this time, he also got a lot of weapons and armor, which was not a loss. Orders were given to all the divisions to return by the same route. ”

He was shocked and said, "Prince, we are still south of the Great Wall!" This time, the Nanban guards along the way must be on guard, the prince of Nanban is so embarrassed, he will also gather troops to stop us in the Great Wall, even if Nanban has no generals, don't be careless! ”

Hearing this, he said, "What you say makes sense, but this road is the most suitable for horse running, and there are mountain passes on other roads." Didn't I know that it would be very dangerous after failing to catch the prince of the Southern Barbarians this time? But the more dangerous it is, the more you can't panic, and I want to bring most of my sons back to the tribe safely. ”

========================================================

On the evening of the fourth day of the first lunar month, Lan Zhen had already rushed back to Yanghe Fort with the cavalry. At this time, Yanghe Fort was no one, after the Mongolian soldiers were gone, the four Ming soldiers took Qi Tai and Lian Zining to the west to Tianchengwei, and the remaining six Ming soldiers killed the remaining people after returning here again, and then snatched all the weapons and went north.

Lan Zhen's eyes were red all the way, and she couldn't wait to catch up with the Mongolian soldiers immediately. But they had been running for a day and a night, and it was difficult for them to hold on to their manpower and horsepower, so they had to give the order to set up camp.

At this time, a beacon was suddenly lit in a fort in the north, and Lan Zhen turned her head and said to the soldiers: "There is a fort in the north that has found Mongolian soldiers, and they will chase after them." ”

Yu Yao looked at the soldiers' faces, and then whispered to Lan Zhen: "Liang Guogong, the soldiers are already very tired, let them rest and rest; Besides, even if people can endure it, horses can't do it. ”

Lan Zhen knew that he was right, and if he ran any further, the horse would run to death. However, Lan Zhen gritted her teeth and looked at the firelight in the north, could she just stop chasing it for the time being? What if they run away because of this!

At this moment, an army rushed over from the west, and Lan Zhen made people ask, it was actually the army of Datong led by Zhu Gui, the acting king.

It turned out that because Tianchengwei was attacked by the Mongolian Ordos Division, although Ma Xuan was very worried about Yun Xi's safety, he did not dare to send out the cavalry Qianhu easily, and he did not send it until the army from Datong was relieved. (To be continued.) )
