The cold wind howled across the mountain road, and the gloomy sky was like falling lead, and those who were familiar with the weather knew that it was going to snow. Snow is good, heavy snow can moisten the dry fields, and can also kill the eggs of the overwintering insects, bringing a good year to the next year. However, no matter how heavy the snow is, it can only dye the earth white, but it cannot hide the sins of the world.

In such a snowy weather, most people will stop at the door of their homes and hide in their houses to escape the winter, but for the looting Manchurians, the heavy snow will make them even more excited.

Abula stretched out his hand and let a snowflake fall on his palm, feeling the coldness of the moment, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. There was a light snow here, and there must have been heavy snow in the house outside the gate, and a few little cubs must have been running happily in the snow at this time, building snowmen and having snowball fights. When I left, I took inventory, there are five stones of grain at home, 100 catties of bacon, so much food is enough for my mother-in-law and a few little cubs to spend this cold winter, as long as I grab more money and food in Daming this time, the future will be better and better.

Well, this time I want to grab two young and beautiful Han girls to go back to warm the bed, although the mother-in-law is a famous beauty in the tunzi, but compared with the Han women, the skin is too rough, and the man's generally strong body and loose belly make him completely uninterested. But this time, you have to be careful, you can't kill the robbed Han girl again.

As Niu Lu Ezhen, who is a white flag, Abule's life is much better than that of ordinary bannermen, and in winter, the average bannermen are frugal or even hungry, but the food at home is very rich.

Living in the bitter cold land outside the Guan, the life of the Manchurians is much worse than imagined. The grain production outside the customs is very low, and the Manchurian people are not good at farming, and the grain plus the harvest of hunting is far from enough to eat. That's why they entered the customs again and again and plundered, relying on the means of robbers to grab silver and grain and livestock from the Ming Dynasty.

"Master, where are we going this time, this snow is going to be big." With a smile on his face, He Lu picked up a cloak and draped it over Abule's shoulders, but he himself shrunk from the cold, and his lips were blue.

"Where to go is what you can ask as a Nikan?" Abule, who was interrupted from his thoughts, suddenly changed color, and a slap was thrown on He Lu's face, causing him to bleed from the corners of his mouth and fall to the ground.

"Hahaha......" the other flag soldiers laughed gloatingly.

There was a hint of fierceness on He Lu's face, and when he raised his head again, he still had a bright smile on his face, got up, and slapped himself lightly. "The slave is too talkative, and he has blocked the master, he really should be beaten!"

"Hmm!" Abule nodded, satisfied with the dog minion's knowledge, "Let's speed up, rush to Fangshan County within an hour, lay down Fangshan before dark, and spend the night in the county town to avoid the snow!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped on the war horse, raised his whip and whipped it heavily on the horse's back, and the war horse slipped out with a snort.

"Drive, drive ......" The other flag soldiers also urged their horses and followed closely behind Abula.

He Lu hurriedly climbed onto the horse and chased down in the fluttering snowflakes. was plundered to the outside of the customs as a slave for three years, from a scholar who is proud and arrogant, and does not touch the spring water, to now a slave who can ride an inferior horse and blow his face, and once again set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, He Lu does not know how to deal with himself.

The cavalry of the two hundred and eight banners galloped in the snowflakes in the sky, rushing towards the county seat of Fangshan dozens of miles away, and in less than half an hour, they saw the low city wall and closed gate of Fangshan County.

It is said that it is a low city wall, but it is also more than two zhang high, and since the news of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the city, all the cities south of Gyeonggi have closed their gates to prevent the Manchu army from entering the city

"The Mantars are coming!" Seeing more than 200 horsemen swept in, the Ming army at the head of the city was in chaos, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the whole city was shocked for a while.

A soldier trembled and drew his bow and shot a crooked arrow, but before the arrow reached the front of the Eight Banners cavalry, it was blown by the oblique wind, and he didn't know where it floated. Fangshan County is just a small county town, and the defenders in the city are less than 500, all of whom are old and weak soldiers who have not been in battle.

The 208 banner cavalry rushed straight to the city wall, invariably took off the bow and arrow, aimed at the city head and released the bowstring, the arrows hit the city head like a storm, and the Ming soldiers on the city cried wolf howl.

Fangshan County is a small city, there is no moat surrounding, the Eight Banners soldiers do not know where to find a giant log, the four cavalry with a rope to hang up, urging the war horse to run to the city gate, when they are about to reach the city gate, let go of their hand, the giant wood hit the city gate heavily.

With a "click", a crack appeared in the city gate that was visible to the naked eye. The four Eight Banners cavalry retracted the giant tree, circled around, and slammed again, and after a dozen strokes, the city gate could no longer hold on, and was torn apart at once.

The Eight Banners came too quickly, without warning, and blocked the Ming army at the head of the city with bows and arrows, so that they had no way to attack the Eight Banners attacking the city gate, and they didn't even have time to organize the city gate with bricks and stones.

The two hundred and eight banner soldiers rushed into the city along the open city gate, divided dozens of people to kill the city head, and then divided half to kill the other city gates, and the rest of the cavalry rushed directly to the county government in the center of the city. As long as all the city gates are captured and the county government is occupied, tens of thousands of people in the city will become their pockets.

......

Just when the Eight Banners were raging in Fangshan County, a team of more than 100 people walked westward in the snowflakes on the galloping road dozens of miles away. More than 40 heavily armed family members walked on both sides, and nearly 100 bare-handed Zhuang Ding were escorted in the middle.

After all the Zhuang Ding surrendered, Chen Yue gave them a simple lecture, telling them that as long as they obeyed their orders, they would ensure the safety of everyone's net worth. Then Chen Yan was left to lead a few people to guard the inspection department, and he took most of the family members and all the captives to kill Xishan Town.

At this moment, Xishan Town has not received the news of Zhao Li's death, when he saw the Zhuang Ding coming back from a distance, the Zhuang Ding guarding the door opened the Zhuang Gate without distinguishing, and when the large group of people entered the Zhuang Gate, they were surprised to see that their people were walking in the middle with empty hands and dejected heads, and were escorted by dozens of officers and soldiers armed with knives and guns.

Zhao Li left only a few dozen Zhuang Ding in the village, where did he dare to move in the face of this situation, when he heard that Zhao Li was killed, he was even more busy throwing away the weapons in his hands and surrendered.

Hearing the news of the death of the head of the family, Zhao Li's subordinates immediately dispersed, leaving only a few concubines crying and staying in the room.

The family members occupied Zhao Li's house, and when they opened the door of the warehouse, everyone was smiling!
