Turai took Li Yu's gang to swagger all the way south to search, since they didn't meet the Ming army all the way, and there were vanguards in front to warn, the white armor soldiers in the back were a little unscrupulous, Turai knew the virtue of Baijia Baya Ladu, and he didn't want to care about it - no one could see them along the way, and they couldn't find a place to come no matter how wild they were. In fact, all these guys can do is talk nonsense, sing and dance randomly, and pick up some rags on the road by the way - there are a lot of things abandoned by the Ming army and the people of the Ming Kingdom along the way. Zhushen is still very poor, a rag head is useful to them, there is a guy who picked up an iron pot with a hole in the mouth and was excited for a day, and the others are still very envious, saying that they can use it if they take it back and make up for it, and they can save a few dollars of silver!

Li Yu has already been familiar with these thirty or so people, and when he was resting along the way, he also caught a few pheasants, rabbits and other wild meat nearby to eat with everyone, and everyone liked Li Yu more, and called Li Yu a brother and brother very affectionately, and by the way, he taught Li Yu how to live a life, Li Yu picked a few pieces of cloth and kept them very unproductively, planning to patch his clothes in the future, and a few guys also gave Li Yu a few broken books that he picked up, saying that he was the only one who could read and write, so he could use it, but Turai turned two pages and immediately told him to throw it away, said that this thing will teach people badly, and when he marries a wife, he will understand everything.

In this way, the elites with yellow flags walked all the way to the vicinity of Ningyuan, and everyone was full of thoughts that they were going to accept an empty city again, and they didn't take Turai's order to enter the battle alert seriously, and they still looked loose. At this moment, three trumpet arrows exploded in the sky in succession - the vanguard in front obviously discovered the enemy's situation, and the white armor raised their spirits, hurriedly re-fastened their armor, packed up their bows and arrows, swords and spears, and prepared for battle. After a short time, the three vanguard soldiers hurried back, and Lao Yuan shouted loudly: "Ming army, there is Ming army!" The Ming army from Ning Yuan"

This Ming army of about 200 people, all of them cavalry, and they are also the elite of armor, Turai estimates that these people are either directly under the Ming governor's Fu Biao, or the general army directly under the town standard, probably like them are scouts in search missions. The Ming army found that the Jin army encountered a small number of people, and immediately pounced, and at the same time divided two armies to outflank the enemy's two wings, apparently trying to eat this group of enemies. Turai also reacted, while sending people back to report the news, he ordered Iron Spear and Bullseye to take a few people to separate on the left and right, block the opponent's two wings with bows and arrows, and prevent the opponent from approaching, Li Yu, Ao Bai and other others followed their own people to assemble into a cavalry formation and retreat at a uniform speed, Turai planned to drag the elite of this Ming army and wait for his brigade to arrive.

The two sides gradually approached, and Turai gave full play to the advantage of one man and two horses, and always kept a distance from the Ming army, so that the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the other side could not form an encirclement for him. Entering the range of bows and arrows, the two wings of both sides coincidentally used long-range weapons to attack each other first, the Jin army took advantage of the use of bows and arrows, and fired several consecutive rounds of salvos on the two wings of the Ming army close to themselves, forcing the opponent to retreat, the white armor soldiers generally used hard bows, and the level of cavalry archery was much higher than that of the opponent, and the opponent's armor could not block the power of the armor-piercing arrows within a hundred steps, and was shot off the horse several times as soon as they fought - the Ming army's long-range attack mainly used the three-eyed firecracker, the three-eyed gun was too short, and the range was not enough to be effective when it had to be close to the opponent, The Jin army opened the distance to not give them the opportunity to use firearms, and the Ming army also had a few archers who fought back, but the sporadic arrows flew over and did not cause casualties to the armored Jin army, and the time was dragged by little by little. The Ming army obviously understood the intentions of their opponents, they began to hesitate, their speed slowed down, and the left and right flanks, which could not catch up with the enemy and suffered heavy losses, also retreated to the front.

The Ming army seemed to be divided, most of them stood still, only a few dozen horsemen rushed out of the queue and rushed to the Jin army, and Turai was embarrassed to continue running, turned his horse and led everyone to meet this group of enemies. Turai's tactic is to concentrate all his own people, block the opponent with a dense salvo, and try not to let the opponent approach to avoid falling into hand-to-hand combat - there are too many opponents, and it must be themselves who suffer from the melee together, but what the Ming army wants is a melee, they hold up the three-eyed guns and shout and pounce, Turai regrets a little that he didn't bring a few firearms, the Jin army captured a large number of firearms from the Ming army, from Niulu to each ten-person squad, but Zhu Shen thinks that these firearms are too poor, and they often blow up, no one wants to use them, All they were thrown to the Han Aha or the Han army, and now there is nowhere to find them, all Tulai can do is keep releasing arrows, hoping to repel the other party, but the Ming army is very brave, and being shot down a few did not affect their attack speed, and there are a few good horse archers in the Ming army who shoot sharp arrows in a row, shooting the two white-armored soldiers off their horses.

Li Yu followed Tulai closely, but he was a little nervous, this was not a miscellaneous soldier without horses and armor encountered by the right guard, but a well-equipped elite of the Ming army riding a horse and quickly pounced, Li Yu missed two arrows in a row, and the third arrow was shot into the face of a Ming army, and the man screamed and fell off his horse. When the Ming army rushed to about forty paces, the three-eyed gun in his hand crackled, the power of the three-eyed gun was not great, and the gun was also floating without accuracy, but more than fifty guns in a short period of time continued to shoot or beat the Houjin army into chaos, seven or eight unlucky guys won the lottery, howled and fell off the horse, Turai did not expect the opponent to be so tenacious, not only not as in the past, but also fierce to kill desperately, his side still had a lot of casualties, he immediately hurriedly threw the bow, pulled out the sword and shouted: "Bayala, Attack! "The first to pounce on the enemy, the white-armored soldiers heard the order, and followed without hesitation, and a few guys who could still move after falling off their horses also hurriedly got up, found an empty horse and rode up.

Li Yu felt that it was wrong, but Turai had already gone up with about 20 people, forty steps were too close, and the two sides immediately collided together, and the Ming army had no time to change weapons, and smashed the head of the Jin army with a three-eyed gun, and the Jin army was even more unlucky - the horse speed did not have time to be added, many people still held bows in their hands, and they suffered losses as soon as they fought - the Jin army, who was still scrambling to find weapons to parry, was immediately smashed off the horse by the other party. Li Yu still had three arrows on the bow at this time, it was too late to change the horse lance or long knife, he subconsciously put the horse to the left, and the direction of the horse's running immediately deviated to the left, almost at the same time, he quickly shot three arrows on the bow to the two Ming soldiers who collided with him, the two sides were only a dozen steps away, such a close distance was too good to shoot, the Ming army led by an arrow was shot in the face, and the remaining two arrows shot through the cuirass of the Ming army a little later and inserted into his chest, and then Li Yu skipped sideways from the front of the Ming army's team, All at once to the flank of the Ming army. At this time, Ao Bai followed him step by step, and the guys who were six or seven behind him also ran after him in a daze, and their horse speed had already been raised, and the situation was immediately very favorable to Li Yu and these people, but Ling's Tulai was being beaten by the Ming army, but they also dragged the Ming army back, and Li Yu was only thirty steps away from the Ming army, just enough to boldly attack the other party with a bow and arrow, but the three-eyed gun of the Ming army's long-range attack was too late to reload.

Li Yu shouted loudly: "Follow me, don't stop, shoot them." ”

Li Yu led everyone to run around this Ming army, and the bows and arrows in his hands kept shooting at each other, shooting the opponent as much as he could. The Ming army couldn't do anything about these few people running around them for a while, and while stepping up the siege and killing of Tulai and them, they called on the people behind them not to always watch the excitement, and they had to come up to help. However, Turai was not easy to kill, he and the gang that followed him gathered together to form a cavalry formation to resist desperately, and the Ming army could not bite them for a while. The more than 100 Ming troops behind were hesitating, they knew that the main force of the Jin army was behind and could arrive at any time, and if they were entangled, there would be no return.

So the battlefield formed a strange scene, dozens of Ming troops surrounded a small group of Jin army and beat them, but they were beaten by another small group of Jin army at the same time, and this small group of Jin army was followed by more than a dozen Ming troops who wanted to expel them, and there was a large group of Ming troops in the distance who slowly soared but could not move. However, this situation did not last long, with the roar of horses' hooves from the north, the Ming army, which had seen the excitement for a long time, did not hesitate to turn around and run towards Ningyuan, and the Ming army besieging Tulai was also chaotic, and soon began to flee south in groups of three or five. Turai, who had escaped death, was red-eyed and immediately joined Li Yu in pursuit of the fleeing enemy, and behind them were hundreds of Baijia and Red-Jiabai Bayala soldiers who had come to support them.

The rout of the Ming army had disastrous consequences for them, and the Jin army could shoot arrows at their backs without any scruples, and the Ming army was constantly shot off their horses and killed. Turai stared at the group of people who had just fought with him and chased closely, the group of people ran for more than ten miles and could not get rid of the pursuit, simply stopped and did not run, turned the horse's head to meet the pursuers, these brave Ming soldiers rushed over with a rain of arrows and shouted, the front fell and the back continued to charge, and soon the remaining 30 or so people and hundreds of Jin army short soldiers contacted, immediately people turned on their horses, blood splashed, the absolute advantage of the Jin army mercilessly killed, the Ming soldiers fell one after another, the officers of the Ming army still fought to the death, with a few of his subordinates who were still alive in a final fight, his armor was already bloodstained, and there were several arrows stuck in it, but a thick and heavy iron whip in his hand kept swinging, smashing the two red-armored soldiers into the air in a row. Turai pounced angrily, slashed at the opponent's neck, the other party did not parry and dodge, but howled and smashed the iron whip at Turai's head, Turai was startled and hurriedly withdrew the knife and leaned over to dodge, but the helmet was shot a few feet away, a white-armored soldier took the opportunity to plunge the knife into the officer's abdomen, the officer roared back and whipped the white-armored soldier to the point that his brain burst, almost at the same time several riding spears stabbed into his body.

Li Yu was fighting with the iron spear and the bull's eye at this time with a Ming cavalry, the man was in his early twenties, his riding skills were very good, he kept churning on the horse and dodged the cold shot of the Jin army several times, and kicked the iron spear that rushed up from the horse, and by the way, the horse that grabbed the iron spear escaped out, the bull's eye was on fire and chased a few people, the man was not afraid at all, he was not afraid at all, he used his riding skills while fleeing and the bull's eye they were circling, a few people just couldn't surround him, the bull's eye was almost kicked away, Li Yu also arrived quickly at this time, and the man almost went hand in hand with him. Bull's eyes, they were left behind. Li Yu and the man were entangled and ran and fought, Li Yu picked up the other party's riding spear, and the other party also grabbed Li Yu's horse lance, Li Yu was anxious to get up from the horse and smash it into the other party, the other party quickly abandoned the lance to block, but this punch was too fast and too heavy to hit the man in the chest, the man screamed and was knocked off the horse, before he could get up, Li Yu had already ridden on the horse he snatched from the iron spear, and the tip of the horse lance in his hand was on his neck, the man was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he quickly changed to a hippie smile and shouted: "Don't fight, I can't beat you, my name is Monk, I surrender to you! ”

Li Yu replied a little overwhelmed: "My name is Li Yu, and everyone here calls me Erlu." ”

Bull's Eye and Iron Spear chased after him, jumped off his horse and beat the man, who covered his head and shouted; "Stop fighting, I'm a Mongol, can't I surrender?"

Iron Spear said while fighting: "I knew that you were not from the Ming Kingdom, or would I have let you live until now." ”

Bull's eye kicked a few times: "The Mongols should fight more, who told you to mix with the Ming army." ”

Li Yu had no choice but to dismount and persuade him, the iron spear and the bull's eye were angry and saw that there were their own people who came forward to persuade him and finally stopped, the man got up and covered his ass and said to Li Yu with a smile: "You are a very good person, and your ability is greater than mine, so you can just support me." ”

Iron Spear and Bull's Eye were happy: "He himself is a poor bastard, so he can afford to raise you, you and we will forget it." ”

The man's face turned: "There are so many of you who can't beat me, why should I follow you." ”

The iron spear and bull's eye were about to beat him again, and the man immediately hid behind Li Yu, and a group of people made trouble and walked back. Li Yu really wanted to drive this Meng Ke away, but this guy just refused to leave, Li Yu was anxious: "I have no food to feed you, give you some dry food and go home quickly, your parents will definitely miss you." ”

Meng Ke's face sank: "I don't have a home, my parents have died a long time ago, you don't have to feed me, I will work and earn food myself." ”

Iron Spear felt that this kid was quite pitiful, and suggested that Li Yu leave this guy to do chores for himself, and leave a captive he captured as Aha, as long as he said hello to the above, he would generally be accommodating, but Iron Spear also reminded him that this guy was not an honest man at first glance, and he must not stay at home to do farm work, and the amount of food must be very large, which made Li Yu have to worry about his rations.

The battle has ended, the Jin army has beheaded more than 100 levels, and more than 20 have died on his side, most of them are Turai's subordinates, and this time the white armor with yellow flags has been disabled.

With the rout of the Ming army, the Jin army passed through the pass east of Ningyuan City in one breath, and chased to the bottom of Ningyuan City, there is finally a Ming army here, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, there are Ming troops and people, there are property, at least you can strip a few clothes and take them back, this trip is finally not in vain, everyone is holding back enough strength to take Ningyuan City.

The old Khan arrived in Ningyuan with great interest, first sent troops to cut off the road leading to Shanhaiguan in Ningyuan, for fear that the Ming army that was not easy to find ran away again, and set up his own big tent in the north of the city, and then sent the captured Ming people to Ningyuan to surrender, but the Ming army in Ningyuan did not understand the kindness of the old Khan, not only resolutely refused to surrender, but also fired artillery on the Jin army to demonstrate, a few black cannons hit the vicinity of the old Khan's tent in the north of the city beyond imagination, which can scare everyone - can hit more than a dozen heavy iron balls to three or four miles away, If this is a ...... hit people, everyone doesn't dare to think about it, a group of Baylors immediately surrounded Lao Khan to withdraw from the camp and left, looking for a place in the west of the city far away from Ningyuan City to re-camp, which made Lao Khan angry, and he didn't care about the bitter faces of a few Baylors around him, and immediately began to arrange an attack on Ningyuan City.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, the vigorous Jin army attacked the city with heavy troops, and the banner soldiers of Niulu took their Aha to push a cart wrapped with several layers of cowhides and carry a ladder with an iron hook at the front end to press to the city of Ningyuan in a hurry, and began their siege battle lively. The siege has little to do with the white armor soldiers, and no Baylor will fill his elite in the attack on the city at will, especially the yellow flag Azig, he lost a lot this time, and more than a dozen white armor were killed at once, plus they were seriously injured and sent back to Shenyang, but there were only fifteen or six people left in Tulai, and Azig left these people with him and was unwilling to use them again.

Turai lost a lot this time, but no one, including Lao Khan, blamed him for anything, Turai didn't fight badly, more than 30 people confronted more than 200 elite Ming troops and dragged down the Ming army, what else can he ask him for, the problem is that the main force of the Jin army is too slow, so that Turai has to hold on for more than an hour, and the reason why the Jin army is too slow is that everyone is angry, and they have worked hard to come out and take their own food and horse feed, but they haven't caught anything, who has no grievances? So everyone tried to make up for the losses, the Jin army was almost picking up the rags later, everyone was searching for everything available in the snow, everything was picking up, and every village and town was scraping the ground to search for property, although the military discipline of the Jin army was very strict, but in this case, the old Khan and Zhu Beile had to turn a blind eye, and the army's morale was sluggish and delayed the support of Tulai, and it was for this reason that the old Khan made up his mind to defeat Ningyuan, so that everyone could make some benefits.

The focus of the Jin army's attack is the southwest corner of Ningyuan, the city is densely packed with people, some of the Jin army wearing iron armor commanded Aha to push the cart forward with difficulty, behind them are more countless archers in cotton armor playing with their lives and quickly release arrows, dense sharp arrows like rain all the time splashed to the city, some Han troops also stubbornly put firearms under the city, the Ming army on the city head did not show weakness, they have a condescending advantage, with the advantage of the strong city to keep the bow and arrows, guns and cannons keep hitting down, sharp arrows, The guns were thrown intensively on the top of the Jin army's head, and the heavy cannons smashed the Jin army's carts to smithereens from time to time, and the entire battlefield was full of flesh and blood, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The old Khan personally went to the city to sit and command, by the way to boost morale, the Baylors had to accompany, the white armor of each banner is a guard, naturally follow their own banner owners to the old Khan's surrounding guards, they are not in a hurry, until the last resort is not their turn, and the city is broken The distribution of spoils is also better than the red armor soldiers and ordinary flag soldiers, the old Khan and Baylor, the nobles observe the battlefield and talk about them, and the white armor of the surrounding flags is also watching the lively and whispering chatter.

Li Yu, Ao Bai and Turai were chatting around a stout man, who was the cousin of Turai and Aobai, and Yang Shan, the son of Fei Yingdong's other younger brother, Yinda Huqi, who was now Baya Lazhangjing with a white flag. Yang Shan is older than Turai and has more combat experience, and he can't help but brag when he sees Li Yu and Ao Bai, two novices. Yang Shan pointed to the besiegers who were beaten to the head and bled under the city and said, it is better to be a soldier or a white armor bayara, like these guys are very pitiful, they usually have to spend their own money to prepare chariots and ladders, and when they march, they have to carry cattle and Aha to carry these things to walk, and when they want to attack the city, they have to rush to the front, and they have to fall behind us when they divide the spoils, so if people don't have the ability, they have to suffer, or we are the best, there are more opportunities for military merit, and the spoils of war are also divided.

Seeing that Li Yu was a little puzzled, Turai also began to say on the side, the military system of the Great Khan stipulates that every cow records 300 men, there are 100 soldiers, and 10 people are selected as white-armored soldiers to act as protectors, scouts and elite to break the enemy at critical times; Forty men were selected as red-armored soldiers, and they were to break the enemy with cavalry; The remaining fifty people are black battalion soldiers, responsible for attacking the city and breaking the formation, and the unlucky guys under the city in front of them are the black battalion soldiers, this group of people is generally ten people defending the city, forty people are going to fight, and twenty people are preparing a chariot and two ladders. However, the number of each Niu Lu is uneven, the good Niu Lu is only about 200 men, the poorer Niu Lu is only more than 100 men, it is difficult to make up the flag soldiers according to the requirements of the Khan, so now the war is based on the Jiala as a unit, each Jiala from the subordinate five Niu Lu selected 50 people as a team, if the battle starts, the first 20 people wear heavy armor with spears and broadswords to attack one place, the back 30 people wear cotton armor and shoot arrows to cover, and send a team of red cavalry to watch the battle, and find that there are those who retreat without authorization and immediately behead, At the same time, when the opponent has a weak point, it is necessary to immediately step forward to help the battle, which is the style of infantry play. And the cavalry is similar, fifty people are a team, the first twenty people wear heavy armor and hold spears and horses, the last thirty people wear cotton armor to exercise bows and arrows, the heavy armor soldiers gallop into battle, the cotton armor soldiers are 100 paces away from the bow and arrow to cover, if necessary, the heavy armor soldiers charge the battle with two horses, and do not retreat.

Li Yu shook his head when he heard this, if this is the case, cavalry and infantry are the same thing. Yang Shan glanced at him disapprovingly and said: "It's the same thing, our cavalry is infantry, and there are many more when we dismount and fight on foot than when we fight on horseback, and it is the Mongols' way to fight immediately, and we don't learn from them." ”

Turai remembered the battle he had just fought with the Ming army, Li Yu did not follow him to fight with the Ming army, but got rid of the contact with the Ming army, and constantly attacked the opponent with cavalry and shooting, forcing the Ming army to disperse its forces to fight at both ends, which gave Turai a chance to breathe, so that he still had the breath to hold on, if Li Yu followed him to fight hard, I am afraid that everyone would be finished together. Turai told Yang Shan about the situation of this battle, and Li Yu's style of fighting was a bit like that of the Mongols, but it was really useful.

Yang Shan is not strange at all, the Yehe people and the Ula people outside Zhenbei Pass have been mixed with the Mongolian tribes for hundreds of years, and they have long been a little indistinguishable from you and me, Li Yu learned that the Mongols' fighting style is too normal, but he feels that the Jin army can't use the Mongols' methods, because the main opponent of the Jin army is the infantry of the Ming Kingdom, and there is not much cavalry, and raising horses is really a matter of money.

While they were talking, they heard several loud noises, and in the midst of the people's exclamations, the battlefield changed again.
