"Uncle Mandahai is dead, and we are fighting with Azig." Fei Yangwu came over and was desperate to snatch Man Dahai's body.

"Kill Azig and avenge Uncle Mandahai!" The Zhushen were furious and rushed to Azig - Mandahai was the leader of the Zhushen of Fengzhou and the spiritual sustenance of these wanderers, and the barbaric Jin people killed the kind old man, and the old hatred was added to the new hatred.

"Kill Azig and avenge Lord Man!" The Han and Mongols who rushed to hear the rallying cry were also full of anger and rushed to Azig - Mandahai is also the elder respected by the people of Xinghe Weimeng and Han, it was he who took everyone up to the mountains to hunt, break the ice and fish, it was he who led everyone to open up wasteland and farm, dig ditches and build roads, and it was he who taught everyone to ride horses and shoot arrows, learn knives and spears, and this revenge must be avenged.

Xinghe soldiers rushed forward desperately, and the strong white armor was a little unable to parry, and several white armors that were knocked down from their horses were immediately cut into pulp. The slave soldiers of the Mongolian tribes quietly began to hide, Zhu Shen and Zhu Shen were desperate with red eyes, didn't they go up to look for death?

"Crazy, all crazy!" - Azig swung his knife and kept cutting down the Xinghe soldiers who rushed up, but more and more people pounced on him, and he began to be afraid.

Yuan Lie arrived, and when he heard the news of the death of Man Haihai, he immediately howled and raised his sword to pounce on the Jin army, and Liu Xingzuo shouted while shooting arrows at the Jin army: "Block the Mongols, cover the advance of the artillery team, and you must kill Azig." ”

Fei Yangwu and Yuan Lie each led hundreds of soldiers to fight to the death with Azig's white armor, Hui Dengxiang and Zhang Yichuan also fought with the Mongolian cavalry, Han Lin took the opportunity to approach Azig with the artillery team - the captain of the artillery has been killed, and now he is the only one who can play with firearms, Han Juren has fought for most of the day, and his courage has also been trained, and he dares to rush forward with his head stuffy.

"The one who has the golden helmet and golden armor under the big sword is Jiannu Baylor, aim according to the method I taught you, and fight together according to my command," Han Lin was a little excited, the other party was Baylor, if he was bombarded to death, he would be famous all over the world, he calmed down, raised his hand and shouted loudly, "Ignite, aim, steady, release!" ”

Twenty bird guns, more than forty large and small guns, and eight of them lifted guns, fired at Azig together, Azig heard the continuous sound of guns, and was so frightened that he lay on the horse's back and didn't dare to look up, but he was fine, but his left foot and neck seemed to be burned, and the white armor next to him was knocked down by three. Azig was furious, sneak attack, this is a shameless sneak attack, you must kill these shameless guys.

"Run!" Han Lin shouted, covered his head and turned around and ran away - the sneak attack failed, Azig jumped up and led people to kill him, this guy was too lucky to provoke!

Fei Yangwu rushed over, he had already grabbed a war horse, and stopped Azig from fighting with red eyes, and the entourage on both sides rushed up, and it was another scuffle. While fighting, Azig felt pain in his foot and neck, and gradually felt that his left foot was numb, and at this moment, there was a sudden earth-shaking cheer on the battlefield, and then the Jin army began to commotion.

"Lord Belle, enemy cavalry, enemy cavalry all over the mountains, Erlu and reinforcements, thousands of people!" Two white-armored scouts flew to report in horror.

"Erlu, you still have reinforcements, how many people do you have?" Azig's blood surged, his eyes turned black for a while, and he fell off his horse.

The white armor was terrified, jumped off the horse and helped the unconscious Azig up, Baya Lazhangjing black bull shouted "protect Bel Ye retreat", the white armor tied Azig on the horse, and quickly fled to the east, as soon as the Mongols saw that their master had run away, they immediately fled in a mess and fled for their lives.

The four battalions of elite cavalry led by Terrig finally arrived, the situation on the battlefield was reversed, and the rest of the battle was simple, the Mongols who attacked the Xinghe Guard infantry had already worn out their sharpness, and they could run desperately, and they simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered when they fell into the formation.

Sanghar Village and Tuba finally came out and led the Chahar people to launch a counterattack, Horqin and other tribes did not fall into the melee, and there was still a chance to escape, but the old Oba was old, he was slower to get on the horse, and he was hit by an arrow in the buttocks, although he finally managed to escape, but he was angry and tired, and he died not long after returning to the Horqin grassland. The Mongol battalion of Wunag suffered heavy losses, and Terig surrounded him first, and the horse thief-turned-Wunag reacted quickly, took off his armor and mixed with the small soldiers to break out of the encirclement, but the Mongol battalion was completely annihilated, and only more than 400 people escaped.

Li Yu won a complete victory and did not stop, ordered to chase and kill the fleeing Jin army, be sure to capture or kill the hemp Azig, when it was almost dark, they finally caught up with Azig's Daxu, surrounded more than 50 white flags and white armor, Li Yu ordered the other party to immediately abandon their weapons and surrender, and after a while, an officer came out of the Jin army team and asked to see Li Yu.

"Black Bull, my old brother, there's no point in fighting any longer, you hand over the hemp, anyway, you don't like this guy, let me take care of him, you and your brothers just stay and rest in Fengzhou, and go home after the battle, we have eaten in a pot and slept on a kang, I will never treat the brothers badly." Li Yu said to the officer who came.

"Azigebel is a little annoying to be coaxed all day long," the black bull smiled, and then said solemnly, "But he is the master, we have sworn to the heavens, swear to protect the master, with us, no one will be allowed to hurt him, and you will not be able to capture him, he has already gone away, we are just using the master's big trick to lure you away." ”

"Count him lucky this time, let's go, I'm not uncommon with him," Li Yu laughed and said to Hei Niu, "Hei Niu, you take your brothers with me, if you want to be brothers with me, you can stay, if you don't want to, you can go home after the battle." ”

"Erlu, we are always brothers, but we can't go with you, we are the Baijia Bayala of the Dajin Kingdom, we can die in battle, but we must not surrender." The black bull shook his head and replied.

"Black Bull, you bastard, do you have to force me to kill my brothers? What about the Iron Spear, is he in your group? Tell him to come out to me. ”

"Iron Spear also became Baya Lazhangjing, and Dolgon Belle was together, he didn't talk about you less, although you fought with us, but in the final analysis, we are all Zhushen, the affairs of the masters have nothing to do with us, and we are still brothers when we meet."

"I don't want to fight with you either, but Sibeile's heart is too big, I have to pick up a knife to protect my fellow villagers," Li Yu shook his head with a wry smile, sighed and said, "Forget it, you guys go, I won't attack my brothers." ”

"We can't go, we lost too badly this time, Azigebel was also seriously injured and unconscious, and he had to be severely punished when he went back, and he couldn't afford to lose that face!"

"You don't want to go or come down, do you need my help? I really can't do it, I'll give you some food and belongings, and find a place to hide first. ”

"I just want to take another look at my brother, and there is one more thing I ask you, you must promise us," Hei Niu looked at Li Yu solemnly, until Li Yu nodded in agreement, and then continued, "We have discussed, and we chose to die in honor together, you are the Baturu of our Zhushen, and it is not unjust to die at your hands, but you must not dedicate our head to the Ming Kingdom or Chahar, we look down on them!" ”

Li Yu waved his fist and said angrily: "What are Ming Guo and Chahar, of course I won't give them my brother's head, but I don't want to kill you, live, good brother, take your people away." ”

"You're still the same as you used to be, brother, you're at war! We have made up our minds that you must do it! Hei Niu came over and hugged Li Yu, then turned his head and left, walked a few steps and turned back and asked, "If one day others come to bully Zhu Shen, are you willing to protect us?" ”

"I am from Wula, and Zhushen is also my fellow countryman, I will protect Zhushen like a Fengzhou person." Li Yu replied firmly.

Not long after the black bull returned, the trumpet of the white armor soldiers sounded, and more than fifty white armor dismounted and unarmed, and walked slowly towards the Fengzhou army, they waved the war swords in their hands, laughed loudly, and even sang. Li Yu looked at them helplessly, his eyes were a little moist, there were more than a dozen of them who knew him, and they should have been his brothers, but today he had to kill them, who is to blame?

"All listen to the order and salute the warriors of the Golden Country!" Li Yu gave a loud order, and the war knife held high in his hand immediately fell, and the Fengzhou Iron Horse shot an arrow into the sky neatly, and at the same time, the Flying Tiger Banner and the Black Eagle Banner fell forward.

The black bull also led the white armor to wave their swords and point diagonally downward, saluting the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry, and then pointing directly at the Fengzhou army and shouting loudly, "Bayara, attack!" The white armor formed a formation and began to accelerate, and the last dozen or so steps of their lives were quickly completed, and then they were swallowed up by a dense rain of arrows.

"Bury them with the etiquette of a soldier, and then ride and step on a horse after burial, and do not leave a grave." Li Yu wiped his eyes and spoke slowly.

Li Yu returned to the battlefield, it was already completely dark, Liu Xingzuo and Sangha Erzhai reported the results to him, the Fengzhou army killed 1,500 people in the Mongolian battalion of the Eight Banners, killed 2,800 Mongolian rebels, captured 3,500 Mongols, the Jin army on the southern road had lost its combat effectiveness, but the Fengzhou army also suffered heavy casualties, 3,100 killed, and the death of Mandahai was a big loss, but the Chahar people were proud this time, they fought a stalemate for a day, only lost more than 500 people, but captured a lot of prisoners, and recovered more than 6,000 captured Chahars.

"Xinghewei is disabled, and he is no longer able to participate in the decisive battle of Kuku and Tun." Liu Xingzuo shook his head and said.

"I'm going to rush back to Kuku and Tun immediately, and I'll leave it to the eldest brother here," Li Yu sighed, turned his head and said to Sangha Erzhai, "Order Darhan and Martyr's Rite to replenish their armor and weapons from the spoils of war, and then choose a thousand elite horsemen to go with me." ”

Kuku and Tun, the Fourth Route Army of the Fengzhou Army marched all night, and arrived at the Kuku and Tun camps before noon the next day, and the garrisons of the Manhan Mountain Battalion, Fengzhou Wei and Xuandewei had been stationed here, and they were quietly relieved to see the main force arrive. The commander of the Fengzhou Guard, who was temporarily in charge of the former enemy's commander, immediately led the Fengzhou Guard to garrison Borshu, the deputy garrison Wang Guozhong, the Xuande Guard to garrison Asari, the deputy garrison Li Wanqing, and the Manhan Mountain Battalion garrison Wu Dayou and the deputy garrison Zhang Liwei to go out of the camp to greet them.

Ortai, Du Wenhuan and everyone exchanged a few simple greetings, and then entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and Buyan Tu ordered his guards to spread out the map and carefully explain the current military situation: since the morning of the day before yesterday, the scouts of the Jin army appeared south of Daqingshan one after another, and then several Jin cavalry crossed Daqingshan and advanced to the vicinity of Kukuhetun, the number was not very large, about three or four thousand people, and the Zhushen scouts of Fengzhou recognized the banners of the Jin State Belhaug, Yuetuo, Sakhalian, Zilharang, Dege, Dolgon and Duoduo, but did not see the Great Khan of the Jin State. The Jin army found that our army had been prepared, and the strength of the army was strong, did not dare to act rashly, but retreated to the north and camped, it is estimated that it was waiting for the main force of the Great Khan of the Jin State, this time the Jin army invaded, because our army entered Kuku and Tunzao, and the population and livestock south of Daqing Mountain were transferred to the south of Heihe, so they did not suffer losses.

"Does Dong Shengwei have military intelligence?" Ortai asked.

"I just received a military report today, there are about 500 Jin troops suddenly rushed to the Yellow River, captive the Chahar people who are crossing the river, and were blocked by my Dongsheng Wei Shi Tuoyangkun and deputy garrison He Jinlong, and withdrew to Daqingshan, and the rebellious Omulun also led his troops to sneak attack my 29,000 households in Baoketu, and the thousand households Itak was supported by the garrison Zabutu, and in one fell swoop broke the rabble of Omulun, and captured more than 1,000 men and women. The commander will lead 5,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry including Zabutu and He Jinlong to join us, and is expected to arrive tomorrow morning. ”

Ortai nodded, his eyes looked at Du Wenhuan, the old marshal kept staring at the map, and said to himself: "The Baylors of the Jin Kingdom appeared in front of Kuku and Tun, and Dongshengwei was only slightly harassed, they still stared at Kuku and Tun, the priority of the decisive battle is first to grasp the military situation and choose the battlefield, we have the advantage of the local territory in the military situation, we must have an advantage, what we need now is to choose a favorable battlefield, it is definitely not possible to fight under Kuku and Tuncheng, we must push the front forward." ”

The old marshal raised his head and said sharply to the generals: "The whole army is moving forward, all the way to the direction of Daqingshan, if the Jin army provokes, resolutely fight back." ”

Just after lunch, the horn of the Fengzhou army camp sounded, the whole army slowly moved north, the Jin army immediately responded, a large number of scouts appeared in front of the Fengzhou army, the Fengzhou army scouts immediately went up to cover the other party's investigation, both sides are elite, bumped into each other and did not let each other, each used cavalry and archery kung fu to fight, Borshu, Asari each led five hundred elite cavalry out of the battle, the Fengzhou cavalry with a large number of people quickly pressed the Jin army scouts back, advanced to the vicinity of the Jin army camp to investigate. The strength of the Jin army is insufficient, under the pressure of the main force of the Fengzhou army, it slowly retreats backwards, until it stops near the Bokeduo Pass, and the Fengzhou army immediately stops advancing, and the two sides set up camp and confront each other - the generals of the two armies are people who have experienced a hundred battles, and everyone understands that this is the preparation before the decisive battle, the Fengzhou army uses the advantage of troops to pre-select the battlefield, the Jin army can only retreat, and the Jin army must hold the passage out of the mountain for the main force, and the Fengzhou army must also be completed.

The camp of the Jin Army north of Daqingshan, Tiancong Khan is falling into deep thought, and the Red Flag Banner Lord Yue Tuo sent a letter to report: The situation ahead is very different from the pre-estimate, the strength of Fengzhou is completely beyond expectations, according to the current intelligence, the other party's troops near Kuku and Tun are far more than 10,000, almost all of them are young and strong, and the other side has reinforcements at noon today, and the number is about 10,000, and most of them are armored soldiers, it is estimated that they are the main force of Fengzhou. Cherge and Chakhala, who had retreated from the Yellow River, also reported that a large number of Fengzhou troops had been assembled near Baoketu, the number of which was unknown, but the combat strength was not weak at all. Tumut Omuluntaiji, who surrendered to Dajin, revealed that Fengzhou had relocated a large number of Han people from the Ming Kingdom out of Guantuntian last year, and the current population may have reached 200,000. Yue Tuo also reported that the scouts did not find Elu's Flying Tiger Banner in the areas of Kukuhetun and Baoketu, so where should Elu be at this time? Since Baoketu has Erlu's soldiers, there should also be his army near Weining Haizi, and if Erlu is in Weining Haizi, Azig's left flank army will be in danger. Yue Tuo held that in view of the changes in the situation, the originally determined strategic objectives should be reconsidered, and the method of fighting quickly and decisively must also be changed, otherwise the future of this western expedition will be unpredictable.

The Monan grassland is sparsely populated, unable to support the war with war, and the supply line in Liaodong is too long, what else can be done except for a quick battle? Yue Tuo didn't say what should be done, but asked to reconsider the strategic goal, obviously with the intention of withdrawing the troops—Tiancong Khan frowned, and set his eyes on Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, who were silent like puppets.

"Big Belle, Third Belle, you have all read Yue Tuo's letter, what do you think? To fight or not to fight? Tiancong Khan asked with a smile.

"What the Great Khan says to do, the ministers will do." Mang Gurtai is still the same old thing.

"The minister thinks that there may not be much population in Erlu, Tumut River is extremely poor, which is the place to feed people, even if some people are recruited from the Guannei to Tuntian, the people who take hoes are not soldiers after all, I have tens of thousands of strong soldiers and trekked 5,000 miles to get here, how can I retreat without a fight?" Dai Shan peeked at Tiancong Khan, and said again, "But, Erlu's kid is clever and clever, and he has the true inheritance of the Great Khan, maybe there will be any moths, we are not familiar with this place, and there is nowhere to supply, and there is no letter from Azig's side, which always makes people feel unreliable, this fight has the benefits of fighting, and there is a reason not to fight, the more the minister thinks about it, the more confused he becomes, or the Great Khan Holy Judgment, or not the Great Khan to talk to Erlu?" ”

Two bastards! didn't say a word of truth, and wanted me to talk to Erlu, at this juncture, I can talk about a fart - Tiancong Khan really wanted to kick the two out, he forcibly suppressed the fire and calmed down, reorganized his thoughts, and Dai Shan didn't say all nonsense, Jin Jun was so tired that he ran for more than 5,000 miles, if he heard that a group of people who touched the hoe were scared, it was a big joke, these two guys will definitely take advantage of this to make waves in the future, just fight with Erlu, this kid will decide the winner.

"Order the whole army to set off immediately for the Boktor Pass."
