"Bear with me, it'll be fine for a while!" Li Yu smiled and watched as the medical officer gave medicine to the grinning Kubilone.

"Your guys are so heavy that they're going to kick my ass in half." Suppilon gritted his teeth and called.

"The gang that beat you has done horse thieves, and they are a little heavier, but they are measured in their beatings, and they won't hurt their muscles and bones, so you should pay attention next time." Li Yu smiled even more happily, it is a tradition that the Datong army and the Qing army captured each other and beat each other first for many years, other prisoners know the rules, they hold their heads and pouting their butts and are beaten, and they are beaten the hardest when they don't know each other.

"Next time, I'll go back and talk to Aobai, and I won't recognize you as a big brother in the future."

"Ao Bai has also entered the customs, where is he now?"

"With your father-in-law." Suppilon replied angrily.

Li Yu patted Curb Pilon on the shoulder: "What are your plans now?" It's better to stay with me. ”

"Go back, I won't stay with you." Suppilon said with a huff.

"Okay, tell you Brother Starling, I'm sure of his people, it's impossible to run away, disarm and surrender to ensure that everything is not ashamed, I still treat him as a brother," Li Yu nodded, and stuffed a small triangular black eagle flag into Kubilong's hand, "Take it, you can save your life as a last resort, at least you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin." ”

Curb Pilon raised his face proudly, but a hot pain hit his buttocks, and he involuntarily took the small flag.

Sent away to curb Bilong, Li Yu returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, the officers were busy in the tent, and there were two other distinguished guests - Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and Song Xuezhu, the governor of Song, the last time King De was killed, they were confused, this time the king of Lu and the five county kings died, dozens of large and small cities such as Yanzhou and Linqing were lost, and thousands of officials and subordinates of the captured clan were captured, the emperor definitely wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, neither of them wanted to wait for death, and took Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, as a model to learn, that guy immigrated to Datong in advance, and then escaped from the battle. It is said that he also served as a senator of the presidential palace and has the right to participate in confidential information, this is a smart person, and they figured out the reason, they heard that the Datong army had entered Shandong, and immediately brought their families to take refuge.

"Han Min, Yong Hui and I have transferred 5,000 stone of grain and 30,000 taels of silver from the official treasury of Jinan and Dezhou, while the two of us are still in official positions, although the affairs of the ground in Shandong are ordered," Yan Jizu immediately expressed his merit when he saw Li Yu, and then whispered with a little blush, "Over the years, we have made a lot of efforts for Tuntian and sea trade, and we have been said by the courtiers to be a naturalized party, and there is no merit and hard work, you see......"

Li Yu waved his hand very happily and replied: "The two adults are both great talents, and they will definitely be reused in Datong." ”

Yan Jizu and Song Xuezhu left happily, and Mao Yuanyi immediately reported the latest military situation: After the Qing army on the west road withdrew from Shunde, it was chased and intercepted by our cavalry front association, right association, and rear association, and forcibly crossed the canal at the Qing River, and the Qing army on the east road stopped advancing after arriving in Yucheng, and seemed to be waiting for the Qing army in the direction of Denglai.

"Marshal, let's do it, press the infantry and artillery on it, and hurt the Qing army on the west road, and the Qing army on the east road will not be able to wait for reinforcements, so they can only invest troops one by one, which is more convenient for each to break." Li Guoying suggested in a low voice.

Li Yu glanced at Li Guoying with satisfaction, this old general of Zuo Liangyu not only has rich experience in actual combat, but also has read books and can write official documents, he is a talent, after thinking for a while, he ordered loudly: "Order, the auxiliary troops of the Artillery Right Association, the Shanxi Left Association, the Great Synchronous Association and the Tuoyangkun Department are immediately transferred to the Western Front and handed over to Zhao Ji for unified command, and must encircle and annihilate the Qing Army on the West Road within three days. ”

The Qing army only robbed for two days and then withdrew from the city of Shunde, but the looted property was too much, followed by more than 100,000 people who dragged their families and mouths, could not speed up the march, and walked less than a day before being caught up by the Datong iron cavalry, the Qing army asked for money and did not want to die, protected the property and the population while fighting and retreating, and forced to cross the canal from the Qing River. At this time, the defeated army who fled from Xiajin reported that a large number of Datong troops had also appeared in the east, and Turg knew that the way out was dead, and after beating his chest, he ordered to form a circle of vehicles to wait for reinforcements, and at the same time sent several groups of messengers to ask for help from Abatai.

It was late at night when he returned to the camp, and Turg was sitting in the big tent with his eyes closed, and after opening his eyes and looking at his brother for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Old Sixteen, what are you doing here?" There will be a river of blood after dawn here, and this is not the place for you to stay, so let's go to Eru. ”

"I'm going to be with starlings." Suppilon replied with his head held high.

"Confused!" Turg motioned to Aha beside him to stand outside the door, and then lowered his voice and reprimanded, "Old Sixteen, you are a person who has read books, why can't you see the general trend of the imperial court clearly?" The emperor is old, his body is getting weaker and weaker, but he has not established a prince for a long time, there will be a dispute between the emperor and the emperor in the future, we are the emperor's people, and we must be involved, think about the fate of the three of the Abahai Concubine, Amin Belle and Mang Gurtai brothers and sisters, the ending may be that my Niu Colu family is in ashes, go to Erlu, although he is a person who fights with us, but he is indeed a good person, and it is safest to follow him. ”

"Don't go, our brothers want to live together, and die together!" Suppilon said firmly.

"Niu Co Lu's family is loyal to the emperor, I will fight to the end, if I don't win, I will die, you live well, don't care about me," Turge got up and shouted angrily, and then held his brother's hand and said meaningfully, "Old Sixteen, it is actually easy to die, it is even more difficult to survive in troubled times, the emperor is really old, Elu is very likely to be the hope of Manchuria in the future, you have to follow him loyally and leave a way back for Niu Co Lu's family." ”

As soon as the sky was bright, the Datong iron cavalry appeared around the camp of the Qing army, and then the infantry and artillery also came up, the muzzle of the black hole pointed directly at the car formation of the Qing army, and the other side's rangers also shouted in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese repeatedly shouted "disarm and surrender, protect the wealth and return to the hometown, stubbornly resist, and the people and money are empty", the Qing army's face was pale, and they covered their pockets with their hands, but they did not dare to go out of the camp to fight - the Qing army had suffering, and the heart of the Mongolian cavalry of the two thousand foreign domains was floating, and they could mutini when they went out, and although the five thousand Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers had horses, they were actually infantry, It's no problem to scare the Ming army, but it's definitely not okay to compete with the Datong Iron Cavalry.

Zhao Ji observed the Qing army camp for a while, the other party's car formation could not be seen clearly, the surrounding black pressure was full of ordinary people, obviously a human shield, but this could not scare Zhao Ji, his headache was how to break through the camp, to be honest, the Datong army is used to field battles, and they are not good at attacking tough battles. Mao Yuanyi also arrived last night, scratched his head and thought for a while, and suggested that the Qing army should use the tactics of attacking Daling River and Jinzhou - cavalry blockade and encirclement, artillery concentrated bombardment, and infantry assault annihilation.

The artillery of the artillery battalion, together with the battalion artillery and mortar artillery of the various associations and battalions, quickly gathered and bombarded the front of the Qing army camp about 500 paces wide, and the infantry soldiers also pushed the formation wall to approach the other side, and fired repeated salvos with platoons of guns - in an instant, the guns made a loud noise, and the cannons and guns rained into the crowd, and the people in front of the car formation screamed and fell to the ground one by one. Seeing this, Zhao Ji was furious and warned Jin Guoding and Wu Laoba that if they wanted to kill fewer people, they would be beaten hard, and if the people were scared, they would flee for their lives.

Jin Guoding and Wu Laoba were ruthless, and ordered to drag up the ten Hongyi cannons to launch chain bullets, the chain bullet attack was extremely cruel, the sharp iron chains were like flying sickles, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere they passed, and they were shattered, and the people finally couldn't stand it anymore, and ran like crazy, and the Datong army immediately gave way to a passage. The common people ran desperately for their lives when they had a way out, and the blocking Qing army was knocked to the ground and trampled into flesh, which frightened the Qing army to avoid the flow of people, Turg didn't care, waved his hand and ordered the people to be driven away - he is not a inhuman butcher, using the people as meat shields is just to delay time, why do it too much, the people are scattered on the road, and the remaining 70,000 or 80,000 people are enough to be busy with the Datong army for a while.

The black pressure of the crowd pounced, the Datong army was in a hurry to deal with it, the artillery right association is the old army, very calmly with the foot gun to prevent the people from approaching, basically maintain the formation is not chaotic, Shanxi Left Association, the two new troops of the Great Synchronization Association are not angry, the people who are rushing in like the tide are almost crushed, and they retreat more than three miles before regrouping, the soldiers still keep shouting "Avoid the Zhili people, they have a plague", and the same palpitations are also the auxiliary soldiers of Tuoyangkun, they are ordered to disperse the people, but they are far away with bows and arrows, hand thunder to scare people, Absolutely did not dare to get close to the crowd, and only drove the people away until dusk - on the march, I saw too many festering corpses all over the body, and the soldiers talked about the plague to the point of talking about the tiger's color, and wanted to hide when they saw the people of Zhili and Shandong.

Zhao Ji was furious, and called the battalions and co-officers to scold them, and then told everyone that the main force of the Qing army had arrived at the Mache River today, and had fought with the Shandong Tuntian Army, and the president asked to end the fighting on the western front as soon as possible in order to concentrate troops to meet the enemy's main force, and asked them if they had the ability to completely annihilate the enemy on the western road, and whether they needed to transfer reinforcements? Shame on you, you fought for a day with absolute superiority in combat power without any results, and you are embarrassed to ask for reinforcements? Don't sleep tonight, the Artillery Association must smash the gap, the Shanxi Left Association and the Great Synchronization Association have performed too poorly, and they have done the work of cleaning up the corpses, and the whole army will launch a strong attack early tomorrow morning. After Zhao Ji finished scolding and scolding, Mao Yuanyi immediately interjected and said nonsense, the Qing army grew up eating ginseng, almost all poisons are inviolable, and they are guaranteed to be living without infection, and they don't have to worry about contracting the plague if they beat them.

This night the sound of guns and artillery continued, the artillery of the Datong army bombarded the foot, and the infantry was bombarded again, and the car formation was shattered, and the Qing army began to return fire, and then the gunpowder could not withstand the consumption, so they simply stopped fighting - the Qing army saw that the Datong army was playing their set of tactics of fighting dumbly, although this tactics were very stupid, but the side with strong combat power definitely won. The Qing army knew that it would be defeated, the morale of the army was low, some people were openly clamoring for surrender, Turg was so angry that he scolded, 30,000 people surrendered without a fight, when did Lao Zhushen have such a precedent, are you embarrassed to go home with your belongings? He stretched out five fingers to everyone, fought for five days, and held on for five days and waited for reinforcements to come, then he could surrender on his own, and he would bear all the blame alone.

The Mongols obviously would not listen to Turg, as soon as the day dawned, two thousand Mongol cavalry from the outer domains carried the looted property, and they slipped out of the chariot formation and surrendered, and there were brothers of the same clan on the opposite side, who could not accompany the Manchurians to death - the defeat of the Qing army was revealed, the morale of the Datong army was high, and the infantry quickly grabbed two large gaps, and while advancing step by step, they cleared the obstacles for the cavalry to attack. Xu Sheng, the commander of the Shanxi Left Association, went into battle in person with the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and kept shouting to the soldiers, "Brothers, the Qing people are not infected, don't worry about killing boldly", and Sun Siwang, the commander of the Great Synchronous Association, was not far behind, and rushed to the front of the team with murderous spirit - these guys seemed to be only afraid of the plague, but they did not take the Qing army in their eyes.

The horn of the Qing army sounded, the overwhelming rain of arrows sprinkled to the gap, the Datong army immediately returned fire, the sky arrows were like shuttles, the earth was billowed with gunsmoke, the Datong army long-range attack was the first in the world, the Qing army was unwilling to suffer losses, the eight banners were in the lead, Ahha, Xianding, and the Han people of Liaodong followed closely behind, regardless of life and death, the two sides collided together, and the cruel hand-to-hand combat immediately began - the Liaodong people were resolute and indomitable, even in the face of a desperate situation, they refused to admit defeat, and said that they would fight for five days to fight for five days, and they would fight to the death to drive the Datong army out of the car formation. Shanxi soldiers and Datong soldiers finally understood why the Ming army was afraid of the Qing army, these guys were too fierce, not only tall and strong, but also brave and good at fighting, wearing two layers of heavy armor and still walking like flying, being stabbed down by a spear and struggling to climb forward, the arrow shot accurately, the front row of heavy armor spearmen went up to die one by one, almost all of them were shot in the face, the infantry of the two associations was crumbling, if it were not for the hard support of the Fengzhou veterans of the battalions, it would almost collapse.

The big knife Xu Sheng hit the red eye, led hundreds of selected soldiers to launch a counterattack, the other party continued to shoot sharp arrows at him, two pro-soldiers died in order to protect him from the arrow, Xu Sheng was angry, rushed up and slashed the head of the archer who shot the arrow accurately, the head flew down and the blue hair fluttered, it was actually a woman - Xu Sheng was still stunned, three Qing soldiers rushed towards him, Xu Sheng just cut down one, he was slapped to the ground by a hammer, and the pro-soldiers rushed up to drag him back to the formation. Xu Sheng roared angrily, threw the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, replaced it with a long-bladed Pu Knife, and ordered to disperse the large array, fight separately in the sentry formation, and let the Qing army in to fight.

The Great Synchronous Association was also uncomfortable, the formation was in danger under the blow of the Qing army, and was forced to disperse the large array, and fought to the death with the Qing army in the sentry array, and the co-commander Sun Siwang rushed too forward, was stabbed in the leg with a spear, and then hit another arrow in the shoulder, and was carried to the back of the battle by his own soldiers to heal. As soon as the main general retreated, the big synchronization association was a little overwhelmed, this guy was in a hurry, and he thrust the big knife into the ground, shouting that those who dared to retreat from the knife were immediately beheaded, and then picked up a plate axe, limped and rushed to the front to continue fighting.

On the hillside in the distance, Zhao Ji and Mao Yuanyi had been watching the changes in the battlefield, the heavy armored cavalry of the Right Cavalry Association and the three infantry battalions of the Artillery Association had been neatly lined up and ready to enter the battle at any time.

"I really can't imagine that the two newly built infantry associations have actually fought with inferior forces until now, is it because our army is stronger or the Qing army is weaker? Zhao Shuai, Xu Sheng, Sun Siwang They have almost practiced and can do it! Mao Yuanyi nodded and said.

"Of course, the Qing army is weaker, this has to be replaced by the Qing army during the battle between Kuku and Tun, they have already collapsed, let these two guys stay up for a while, they can't train a strong army without fighting a few life-and-death battles." Zhao Ji waved his hand.

When the sun was westward, Shanxi Left Association, the Great Synchronous Association finally couldn't stand it, retreated to the gap to defend for help, Zhao Ji then issued an order to attack, Mengke, Jida's cavalry right Association slowly accelerated, like a huge wave slapped forward, the Qing army has been exhausted, under the strong impact of the heavy cavalry to break apart, almost at the same time, the auxiliary soldiers also with a rain of arrows to cover the cavalry front association, cavalry rear association into the car formation, to the Qing army's ribs two more swords, the Qing army at this time defeat has been decided.

"The herald ordered each Niu Lu to form a battle to the death, the Datong soldiers can't withstand the attrition, and they will retreat after a long battle!" Turg ordered with a pale face, and after a day of fighting, he was broken through the car formation, which can only show that the combat power of the old opponent has surpassed that of the Qing army, so let's deal with the strong enemy with the weak man's play, wasn't Fengzhou like this back then!

The trumpet of the Qing army's various cattle records sounded, the armored soldiers, idle ding, and Aha consciously ran to their own Niu Lu banner to line up in formation, and the Han people in Liaodong were like flies without a head, they were originally ordinary people who ate mixed rice, and they didn't have their share in which Niu Lu, with the shouts of the Datong army "disarming and surrendering, protecting wealth and returning to the hometown, stubbornly resisting, and emptying people and money" sounded again, and the Han people in Liaodong surrendered with great interest.

The armor soldiers of the Eight Banners are still resisting, plus the number of idle Ding and Aha is not more than 10,000 people, this person can't set off a big wave - Zhao Ji is in a good mood, send someone to send a letter to Li Yu, and rush to the Maji River before noon tomorrow, and then order the cavalry and auxiliaries to block the periphery, and the infantry and artillery will ignite the night battle and destroy the divided enemy one by one. The Datong army did not hurry to clean up the various cattle records one by one, the Qing army was in trouble, and the formation of self-war was their way of playing when the older generation started, and they had not used it for more than 20 years, and the younger generation could not play this set of playing well, and could not form a cooperation, but was broken by each one.

The general trend has gone, Turg has no choice but to order, those who are willing to surrender are at their own convenience, and those who are unwilling to surrender follow him to break through, and then lead 3,000 Qing soldiers to rush to the Datong army. Kupilon followed closely beside Turge, and the two brothers shot all the way with bows, leading everyone to break out of the encirclement, but the black light blinded the fire and did not know the road, and they were intercepted by the opponent's cavalry after walking for a while, and the two sides shot each other with bows and arrows and firearms, and the Qing army retreated to a small hill to survive, and then was surrounded by the Datong legion,

"Curb Bilong, there's no point in fighting again, you can bring everyone down!" Turg was hit in the stomach by the horse, blood gushed out uncontrollably, his face became more and more pale, and he clenched Suppilon's hand and instructed, "Remember what I said, follow Erlu and work hard, and leave a bloodline for the Niu Colu family." ”

When it was almost dawn, Turg swallowed his last breath, and Curb Pilon wiped a handful of tears, took out a triangular black eagle flag from his arms, and then carried his brother's corpse and shouted to the living Qing soldiers: "Don't fight, I'll take you to live." ”
