Section 266

On the official road leading to Daizhou in Yuanpingyi, there is a team of golden soldiers swaggering, there are not many people, there are about a thousand people, but there are three or four thousand people who are driving the car and carrying the burden, these people are quite honest, no one dares to run away, it is not fast to go in chaos, the Ming army is holding sticks and leather whips, and they are shouting and scolding to urge them to hurry.

"The people of the Ming Kingdom are nests, they can't fight, and they can't walk, Zhai Sangu, it's better for you to do this, let the troops go to scare the people." Shuoto said as he rode his horse and shook his head.

"But isn't it, those soldiers robbed and killed people more ruthlessly than us, and the people were most afraid of them, so I wondered, why are the Ming people so vicious to their fellow clans?" Jaisangu asked, scratching his head.

"You don't understand this, the people of the Ming Kingdom read their brains badly, and Elu can see it, read less broken books and use less readers, everything is done according to our old Zhushen, look at how nourishing people are." Shuoto replied triumphantly.

Shuotuo and Daishan father and son fell out, Shuotuo always asked the old man if he was his own father, the old man could not tolerate his son to give himself a cuckold, the two of them looked at everyone awkwardly, the old man was angry and asked him to get out, Shuotuo couldn't ask for it, and Zhai Sangu took his Niu Lu to Yingzhou to find the Great Khan, on the way I heard that his third son Sakhalian robbed Lao County, he also had to do a big one, Yuanpingyi is a famous prosperous town, and it was easy for him to take it - as soon as the Jin army appeared, the official army mutinied, and it was difficult for him not to get rich.

Shuotuo and Zhaisang Gu were chatting, the scout ran to report, there was a large group of cavalry in the distance, looking at the flag seemed to be the red flag of the Ming army, Shuotuo was angry, along the way the Ming army honestly hid in the city, never dared to come out to find trouble, this time it was a leopard gall? Ye Fei taught them a lesson, he said hello to Zhai Sangu, and went to meet them with three or four hundred men.

Shuotuo went fast and came back faster, and his mouth was still shouting, "Jaisanggu, run, it's Erlu's people", Zaisanggu looked up and saw that it wasn't the Flying Tiger Banner and the Black Eagle Flag, and there were no less than 2,000 iron riders behind the banner. The scout is a blind man, he only sees the red background of the banner, but he doesn't see the evil tiger and goshawk in the middle, that is to eat people! He and Shuotuo only had five Niu Lu, and even Aha only had six or seven hundred people, and the remaining four or five hundred people were Mongolian miscellaneous soldiers who came out to rob, this is still a fart, run for your life! Jaisangu turned his horse's head and ran after Shuto.

"Shuotuo, do you want to discuss with Erlu, so that you can ask for your belongings and come back." Jaisanggu caught up with Shuoto, still distressed about the things he had snatched from Yuanpingyi.

"I want a fart, it's a war now, and I'll go back and find him to compensate." Shuoto ran and looked back, but fortunately, most of the people in the cattle had escaped.

Shuoto and Jaisangu fled, and the Jin army, which had lost its command, was unable to form an effective blockade, and the weak resistance was destroyed almost instantly, and the Toyosu Iron Cavalry galloped across the country, harvesting the lives of the enemy to their heart's content.

"Hadari, I killed one, it's a pleasure!" Richard shouted as he brandished his sword.

"I killed two!" Not to be outdone, Li Xuan shouted.

"Pay attention to maintaining the formation and do not leave the team without permission." As he shot an arrow, Hadari reminded his comrades loudly.

The battle ended quickly, the Fengzhou army killed more than 200 Jin troops, and the surviving people saw the other party's banner clearly, and very consciously surrendered on the ground, Bai Yintu and Tu Lichen ordered their men to collect the captured horses, armor and weapons, and immediately disperse them.

At this time, the common people and the soldiers were in chaos - the Jin army was finished, after the people came to their senses, some people took advantage of the chaos to escape, but more people pounced on the cattle and property left by the Jin army, at this time they were no longer submissive, but bravely fought together, the farce of robbery in front of them became more and more intense, but the Fengzhou army was helpless for a while.

"Rotten soldiers, Diao Min," Li Yu scolded, turned back to Meng Ke and Jida and shouted loudly, "What are you doing in a daze? You can't stay here for long, you can scatter them with whips, and those who dare to wield swords and dance sticks will be killed. ”

Meng Ke and Jida led the Flying Tiger Battalion into the crowd like evil tigers, and immediately screams and wails rang out, killing dozens of people, and the common people and rotten soldiers dispersed. After the Fengzhou army cleaned up the battlefield, it also quickly moved north along the Hutuo River.

After a day and night of marching, the Fengzhou army returned to the vicinity of Yingzhou, and suddenly exerted force on the main force of the Jin army surrounding the city, and raided the scattered enemy for three consecutive days, trying to compress the opponent's range of activities, and did not wait for the Jin army to react, and again silenced and disappeared - the salt dealers of the Titang Division were extremely familiar with the road, and led the iron cavalry to turn around three times and two times to the vicinity of Lingqiu, which is the main road connecting Xuanfu and Datong, and the Fengzhou army hid in the mountains while resting and waiting for new fighters.

If the Jin army was hit one or two thousand times, it would never dare to send a small group of men and horses out again, if it seized the fighter plane to annihilate one or two thousand Jin troops, Sibeile would definitely not be able to sit still, and the siege of Yingzhou would be relieved without a fight-Li Yu pondered on the map, and several battalion officers of Bai Yintu, Tu Lichen, Meng Ke, and Jeddah surrounded him without saying a word.

Wu Xian came over in civilian clothes and reported in a low voice: "Great Commander, we killed a Jin army scout, killed two, and captured two alive. ”

The captives were escorted up, and the first bearded man scolded and scolded in his mouth - "You don't have the ability to fight more or less, you have never been afraid of Ming dogs, if you want to kill you, you have to confess, Wang Ershun, stand up and stand up, let's go on the road together", a young man in his twenties behind him had a pale face and reluctantly agreed.

"We are the Fengzhou Army, not Minggou, which flag are you? What is your name? Li Yu asked the bearded man in Zhushen's words.

The bearded man froze for a moment, stared at the tall man in front of him and rubbed his eyes, and suddenly shouted excitedly, "My lord, it's Erlu Batulu, I'm the old Dolon with the white flag, I went with you to the Xilamulun River to fight the Chahars, do you remember me?" ”

"Master, God has eyes, it can be regarded as letting the slave see you," the young man behind the bearded man trembled, knelt down in front of Li Yu and cried, "You don't remember me?" You dragged the son of the old Wang family in the head of the village, and the slave family waited for you in Shenyang, and the master's great kindness did not dare to forget. ”

Meng Ke picked up the young man, looked at it carefully for a while, nodded and shouted, "It's like a kid from the old Wang family in Zhuangtou, Hadari, you can also come and take a look." ”

Hadari ran over and looked at the young man for a while, and both recognized each other as friends who had played with him when they were children, and hugged each other and cried while talking about the past.

After Li Yu escaped from the Jin country, his tuokesuo and the house were confiscated, and then Tiancong Khan Xu Hanmin divided the tun and lived separately, and the old Wang family also divided a few plots of land, Liaodong disaster harvest was not good for many years, the village family had a hard time, Lao Wang died of hunger and illness a few years ago, Wang Ershun because he knew a few words, he was a big coat, and he could barely eat a mouthful, this time he followed the Jin army into the customs as a translator, but he didn't expect to be a prisoner and still see the previous master.

"Master, when the slave's father died, he said that it is a great blessing for us poor people to meet a good master, if we can find the master, we must wait with all our hearts, and the slave will not leave the master when he is killed, and the slave will follow wherever the master goes." Wang Ershun wiped his tears and said to Li Yu.

The old Wang and Lao Zhao families who had waited for him in Shenyang, Li Yu still remembered it, and also recognized this thin and sturdy young man as the child of the old Wang family, but he opened his mouth to "master" and "slave" to listen very uncomfortable, and couldn't help frowning. Duolong also wiped away his tears and persuaded Li Yu to accept Wang Ershun - the slave follows the master in life and death, contributes to the master, and the master should also support the slave, this is the rule of Lao Zhushen, but he dare not violate it.

"I'll talk about this later, you two will talk about the situation of Jin Jun first." Li Yu waved his hand and said, Duolong immediately lowered his head and coughed vigorously, Wang Ershun didn't care, like a bamboo tube pouring beans and told everything he knew: they went to Lingqiu to collect grain and grass this time, led by Abatai Belle and the Ministry of Officials Chengzheng Baduli, there were 5,000 people and horses, all of them had horses to ride, but half of them were miscellaneous soldiers from the outer domains of Mongolia, the people of the Eight Banners were mainly Abatai's six Niu Lu with yellow flags, one Niu Lu with blue flags from Ba Du Li, about 800 armored soldiers, and the others were Aha who acted as auxiliaries, Wang Ershun could speak Zhushen and Han, can also read and settle accounts, and was named by Baduli to join the army, but he became a prisoner when he came out on an errand for the first time.

"He doesn't leave any left, what else do I have to say," Duolong found Li Yu shooting his gaze at him, and said dejectedly, "Baturu, those six Niu Lu of Abatai Belle are old and white, everyone can always think of your kindness, and you must be merciful." ”

Li Yu nodded, and asked Hadari to take Wang Ershun and Duolong down to rest, and he discussed with several battalion officers for a while, feeling that this battle was still relatively sure, and the iron cavalry should immediately advance to the vicinity of Lingqiu in concealment, and must keep an eye on this Jin army, just in case, Li Yu also ordered the people of the Titang Division to assist the scouts and closely monitor the movements of the Yingzhou Jin army.

Yingzhou was besieged and impassable, the young and strong people in the city defended the city, that is, they refused to surrender, the Jin army was unwilling to bear casualties, and never dared to launch a strong attack, which made Tiancong Khan worry that the stalemate between the two sides caused difficulties for the supply of the Jin army, and the scattered people sent out to loot did not see anyone alive or dead, and everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to go far away. At this time, Shuotuo and Zaisanggu came running, and Tiancong Khan suddenly realized - it turned out that Erlu led the troops into the customs, no wonder the work was done so cleanly, and he wanted to trap me, but he couldn't do it! With a wave of his hand, the battle-hardened Abatai stepped out and sent him two errands to take Lingqiu to dredge the road from Datong to Xuanfu, and at the same time collect grain and grass.

Abatai couldn't hide from the errand, so he set off hard, and there were many remnants of the Ming army along the way, who were beaten and kicked by Abatai and cleaned up, but he was always scared, and his intuition told him - Erlu was hiding nearby, and he could pounce and bite at any time, this guy didn't get out, he didn't want to let go of Lingqiu, but if he wanted to leave, he must let him eat first. Thinking about this, Abatai went to Lingqiu City to scare the officials and soldiers defending the city with great fanfare, and then suddenly killed Wangjiazhuang, which was dozens of miles away.

Wangjiazhuang is a well-known commercial town, there are many rich families in Zhuangzi, and they have raised money to build a two-zhang high wall to resist bandits, and they have also arranged guns and crossbows on it, and they found that the golden soldiers came to loot, and immediately closed the village gate.

Abatai was smarter than the others, and escorted the captured Ming soldiers along the way to Zhuangzi and promised that as long as they helped the Jin army break the village, they would rob them of the money and let them go home. The captives were agitated and went home with money, who wouldn't be happy? Hundreds of people raised the ladder with red eyes and rushed forward, fighting in front of Wangjiazhuang, and the corpses were all over the ground in an instant, but Abatai smiled and lit his pipe, patiently waiting for Li Yu to kill.

The officers and soldiers are indeed more able to fight than the common people, these guys see that the golden soldiers are lost and depressed, but they are very good at dealing with the common people, less than an hour, the people on the wall can not stand it, the officers and soldiers wave their knives and spears on the wall, mercilessly kill and dare to block their financial road to the people, and the loss of Wangjiazhuang is in front of you.

At this moment, a neat and rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Abatai immediately judged that the other party was a well-trained cavalry, about four or five thousand war horses, it was impossible for the Ming Kingdom to have such a powerful cavalry, it must have arrived at Erlu, which was not something that his chaotic team could withstand.

"Withdraw immediately, Batuli, you come to break the rear." Abatai ran away after speaking, Baduli is a cronie of the eighth child, it has nothing to do with him, how many people are willing to break off with him, it depends on the popularity of this guy, but Abatai's people are not angry, they are messing around for a while, and some people are left behind.

"The Jin army is about to escape, Bai Yintu, intercept them, Meng Ke, Tu Lichen, follow me to attack with all your might, be fast, fight quickly." Li Yu brandished a long lance and shouted loudly - the Fengzhou army had arrived nearby for a while, but they didn't dare to make a move easily, until they saw the reality of the other party, Li Yu ordered Chen Erzhu to blow the trumpet and attack.

The iron cavalry rushed towards the golden army like a tide, and a rain of arrows rushed towards them, and Hadari, holding a round shield in one hand and a horse in the other, shouted to his companions: "This is a projectile, we don't have to be afraid in armor, have we all lit the arquebus?" Enter a hundred paces and listen to the whistle salvo. ”

"Ready, we're not afraid!" Li Xuan, Richard and his friends responded loudly.

Approaching the Jin army, with the crisp whistle sounding, the five hundred horses of the Flying Tiger Battalion bombarded the other side, followed by another volley, and the Jin Army on the opposite side fell - such a close distance, the iron armor could not keep them, a big gap appeared in the cavalry formation, and the deputy army of the cavalry front battalion of Tu Lichen instantly surpassed the Flying Tiger Battalion and rushed in with a shout.

"Hand-to-hand attack, Flying Tiger Battalion charge!" Meng Ke raised his sword and gave a loud order, and the brothers of the Flying Tiger Battalion put away their horses, brandished their swords and spears, and followed closely with the cavalry front battalion to attack.

Baduli scolded and scolded, pulled out his sword and rushed to Fengzhou Iron Cavalry, Abatai is master can run, but he is a slave and dare not run, so he can only fight to the end. However, Baduli was followed only by his own Niulu, plus a few soldiers with yellow flags who did not escape, but the Mongols were shrinking back - these people had no problem fighting the Ming army, but they did not dare to fight the Fengzhou army, and some people were very honest that the lama had told them that they could not fight with their own people, and these miscellaneous soldiers shot arrows in a burst of chaos, and then put on a resigned appearance.

Hundreds of banner soldiers and Aha could not withstand the impact of the Fengzhou iron cavalry at all, Baduli died under the random arrows, and the Jin army surrendered one after another after being divided and surrounded. Tu Lichen was proud, many of the captured people were covered with blue flags, and they rushed over with punches and kicks, blaming these people for not surrendering earlier, and forgetting the enmity of Shulhaqi and Amin. Many of Tu Lichen's subordinates used to be Amin's sworn friends, and they gritted their teeth when they remembered the new and old hatreds, and the captives were beaten to the point that wolves howled, Li Yu couldn't stand it, and rushed over angrily to stop it.

"Don't fight, I'm from Ullah, old white, Uncle Eru, Hadari, help me, I'm Rabudu." A young man covered his head and shouted, Hadari's face changed, he rushed over to look at the young man for a while, and then shouted and pulled him up and ran towards Li Yu.

"Rabudu, is it really you?" Li Yu took Rabudu's hand, his eyes were a little red, and he asked eagerly, "Tell me quickly, how are the villagers in Beitunzi?" Are Uncle Wudai and Aunt Naya okay? ”

"Uncle Wu Dai has a bad leg, he can't walk far, he is still farming in Beitunzi, my mother died of illness last year, and the villagers are not having a good time, fortunately, you can still live if you ask someone to bring some money. Uncle Wudai told us that if we meet you when we come out to fight, we don't have to go home again, and we will follow you in the future to avenge the Ula people," Rabudu wiped away a handful of tears, pointed to the forty or fifty young people behind him and said, "The Ula people of Baita Village are all here, and when we saw your Flying Tiger Banner, we quietly stayed." ”

"Uncle Eru, we you!" The young Ula people gathered around and shouted, Li Yu's tears could not be stopped any longer, the children who came out of Ula Mountain back then had grown up like Hadari, they were the hope of the Ula people, Uncle Kulu, Uncle Wudai, I will take them well.

The two thousand gold army was wiped out, and the battle of Wangjiazhuang was also reversed, and the merchants in the village recognized the Black Eagle Banner and shouted loudly to the villagers, "That is the banner of Daming Naturalization Town, and the world's first naturalized army has come to save us." The morale of the common people was greatly boosted, and the troops were driven down the wall in one go, and the overwhelming rain of arrows of the Fengzhou army shot over, and hundreds of soldiers were all killed in front of Zhuang. The Fengzhou army then shouted to the village, they were about to evacuate, and the livestock, weapons and the most valuable heads left outside the village were all delivered, and the Wangjiazhuang roared with joy, and the shouts of "the naturalization army is mighty" were endless.

Li Yu was still struggling - the scout reported that Abatai suddenly disappeared, and the captured more than 1,000 Jin soldiers refused to leave, they were completely unfamiliar with the Guannei, and there were hostile Ming people everywhere, and they would rather follow the Fengzhou army unless they returned their horses and weapons.

Abatai didn't fight this battle at all, the elite losses were very small, and he threw the burden of miscellaneous soldiers to me, now that I am in the light, he is hiding in the shadows, and it will definitely be me who will suffer if I continue to fight, or it is safer to meet Zhao Ji first - Li Yu thought of this, and quickly retreated in the direction of Datong with his prisoners.

As soon as Li Yu walked on the front foot, Abatai immediately drilled out, first broke Shijiazhuang to obtain supplies, and then captured Lingqiu City in one fell swoop.
