Section 119 Encounters

Jin Jun had the courage to bluff over, Li Yu, Liu Xingzuo and Bai Xianzhi couldn't figure out the reality of each other, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"The 1,000 Eight Banners are not easy to fight, and we don't know if there are reinforcements behind them, maybe we should avoid their edge first, and then try to annihilate them after the Northwest Frontier Army comes up." Bai Xianzhi suggested in a low voice, the battle in the Karaqin grassland outside the Guanwai made him fully appreciate the strength of the Jin army, the Fengzhou army ambushed more than 1,000 Jin troops with an absolute superiority of troops, and paid the price of more than 300 people, but still let the Jin army break through, and the strength advantage of the Fengzhou army in this encounter in front of him was not large, and he didn't want to take this risk.

Li Yu was also hesitating, he was unwilling not to fight, but he was not sure, Liu Xingzuo smiled on the side and said: "If you are not sure, you won't fight, we will retreat in a generous direction, and by the way, we can also probe the reality of the other party." ”

Li Yu nodded and gave an order, the two battalions of Wuhai and Zhang Chuanjie retreated to the two wings, and at the same time sent scouts to extend the search to the two wings of the other side, and the pro-guard battalion was in the center to maintain contact with the enemy, and the three battalions retreated ten miles back in a zigzag shape.

The retreat of the Fengzhou army made Bai Ge a surprise, in the attack on Yongping, the Shanhaiguan Ming army dispatched five thousand iron cavalry to cover the Jin army under the city, but was defeated by a counterattack by the Jin army, he was in the counterattack of the Jin army, and now the same fighter is not there again? If so, this military merit is picked up for nothing. Thinking of the good thing, Bai Ge quickly commanded the team to press, as long as the Ming army showed signs of rout, he was going to attack, but the Ming army retreated ten miles and suddenly stopped, a bright red flying tiger flag appeared in the opponent's cavalry array, Bai Ge's heart began to cool, this is not the banner of the Ming army, it seems that Erlu only uses this kind of flag, if he is bad, Bai Ge does not dare to retreat, at this time he will be exposed, he ordered his subordinates to shake the flag and shout, make the illusion of attacking, and at the same time give himself courage.

The more Li Yu looked at it, the more strange it became, although the other party was also dressed as a soldier of the Eight Banners, but he lacked arrogance, he didn't dare to approach, and he was clinging to a ball, the usual heavy cavalry broke through in the middle, and the light cavalry flanked the two wings of the tactics were completely absent, Liu Xingzuo also felt that something was wrong, the two exchanged glances, Li Yu ordered the personal guards to ride the two sentry cavalry of Chaolu and Baiyintu to launch a tentative attack, and the two sentry cavalry of Meng Ke and Jeddah followed up to cover with a platoon of arrows.

This hit was exposed, Meng Ke and Jida quickly suppressed the opponent's arrow array, Chao Lu's captain Zabutu easily broke into the Jin army formation, and cut off the head of a Jin soldier riding on a mule with a knife, and the hemp rope on the head of the person fell to the ground, he shouted angrily: "Fake, it's fake Zhushen, kill them", almost at the same time, Bai Yintu's side also shouted and screamed, and the two sentry cavalry fiercely rushed and beat in the Jin army formation, Meng Ke and Jida saw this and quickly pounced, and the soldiers threw away their fake braids and fled. The soldiers who were temporarily incorporated into the army, Ahha, were also in chaos, and the Jin army was in chaos all of a sudden.

Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo, Bai Xianzhi couldn't help laughing, it turned out to be such a group of things, all the worries were in vain, Chen Erzhu's horn sounded immediately, the Fengzhou army launched a comprehensive counterattack, Asari and Fei Yangwu led dozens of Liu Xingzuo's personal soldiers to join the battle group, Wuhai and Zhang Chuanjie's two battalions quickly outflanked the two wings of the Jin army, Bai Ge knew that the situation was not good, and ordered the whole army to turn around and retreat, when the Jin army retreated to the Luan River in chaos, Bai Ge wanted to put on a posture of fighting against the water, but there was no rain in the spring this year, and the water of the Luan River was too shallow, Couldn't scare the Jin army who was eager to flee for their lives, the Jin soldiers waded across the river desperately, the arrows of the Fengzhou army rained down, the Jin soldiers were shot dead in the river countless, the blood soon dyed the river red, the Jin army panicked even more, and fled one after another, but the Fengzhou iron cavalry with one person and two riders was faster, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to.

Bai Ge knew that the defeat was decided, and he didn't care about the others, so he took a hundred bannermen under his command to desperately flee to Qian'an, and the Jin army couldn't escape the interception of the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry, and followed him behind his ass to find a way out. Fengzhou Iron Cavalry was relaxed at this time, the personal guard battalion chased after the Jin soldiers, oppressed and drove the Jin army along the way, Wuhai and Zhang Chuanjie on both wings clamped the Jin army unhurriedly, and constantly poured arrow rain on the fleeing crowd, just like the usual training, the chaotic Jin soldiers were all running, almost losing the strength to fight back, becoming a lamb to be slaughtered, with many dead and wounded and corpses all over the place. When they were about to reach the city of Qian'an, the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry suddenly launched an attack, cutting off the exhausted Jin army and losing their armor into several pieces, dividing and surrounding them and shooting them with random arrows.

Bai Ge ran exhausted, and he wanted to reorganize his team several times along the way to counterattack, but the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry just didn't give him a chance to breathe, nor did he block his retreat, always pressed him to fight, and cut out a piece from his rout from time to time to eat, he couldn't run away if he wanted to, and the more he fled, the fewer people fewer, and in the end, only a hundred banner soldiers he brought out from Qian'an were left. Finally approached the city gate, at this time, the Fengzhou iron cavalry behind chased more urgently, almost sticking to his buttocks, Bai Ge shouted and rushed towards the city gate, but the city gate was slowly closing.

"Bao Chengxian, you slave, you don't open the door to your master's people." Bai Ge shouted to the city, but the people in the city did not hesitate at all, the city gate was still closed, Bai Ge's men rushed to the city gate and shouted and scolded, but the people in the city did not say a word, looking at them like dead people, Bai Ge angrily rushed to the city and shouted: "Bao Chengxian, you dare to lock the master outside the city, the master must pick your skin when he goes back, and let the master enter the city quickly." ”

"Bai Ge, if you lose the battle, be loyal to your master, I won't open the city gate," a middle-aged man in the city finally responded with half-baked Zhushen words, Bai Ge was so angry that he trembled, and he was about to scold the man, but the man shouted angrily, "Bai Ge, behind you is the Ming army, you don't leave the city quickly, Qian'an City will be guarded by me Bao Cheng for you first, and if you don't leave, I will shoot a bow and arrow at you." ”

Bai Ge was still hesitating, Bao Chengxian waved his hand, a row of arrows shot down, now he could only go, the Jin army under the city surrounded him in horror, Bai Ge cried and shouted: "Brothers with yellow flags, that dog slave Bao Chengxian doesn't give us a way to live, let's die here, brothers, form a formation, let's fight with the Ming army." ”

The banner soldiers knew that their lives were overwhelmed, but they quickly formed a circle formation, and prepared to meet the opponent with a fierce face, and the four generals who followed behind, Meng Ke, Jida, Chaolu, and Baiyintu planned to take the opportunity to rush into the city, but when they saw that the Jin soldiers were also driven away from the city, they were immediately disappointed, and surrounded this Jin Corps, preparing to kill.

The Jin army is going to be desperate, all dismount and tightly surround together, a pole riding spear is erected to meet the charge of the iron cavalry, and at the same time use the method of foot shooting to block the Fengzhou army, the Fengzhou army has tried to attack several times and has been blocked back, Meng Ke is a little anxious, he has recognized Bai Ge who is shouting on the opposite side, and shouts Bai Ge loudly: "Bai Ge, you stupid, do you remember me Meng Ke, how long can you carry a hundred people, surrender immediately, I will give you a way to live, otherwise all of them will be shot." ”

"Meng Ke, you horse thief, you are also the dog of the Ming Kingdom, the master is not afraid of you, if you have the ability, you will kill it, let's fight to the death." Bai Ge also recognized Monk.

"Fart, will Lao Tzu take refuge in Mingguo, you have done too many bad things, God sent us to clean you up, my big head is behind, can you beat him?"

"Erlu is here too!" Bai Ge's heart moved, and he hurriedly shouted, "Meng Ke, you called him, I haven't seen him for many years, I want to meet him." ”

Li Yu came soon, and when he saw Bai Ge's embarrassed appearance, he still couldn't help laughing: "Bai Ge, do you see that I have anything to say?" You didn't lose to me, you couldn't beat me in the first place, what are you going to do now? ”

"Erlu, I don't blame you for leaving the Jin Kingdom, we know that you were forced, but you shouldn't help the Ming Kingdom beat us old Zhushen, here are all old inlaid brothers, did you do something to them? Can you bear to exchange our head for money from Mingguo? Bai Ge said angrily.

"Of course I don't want to kill you, and I won't hand you over to Mingguo, we are villagers, and we should get along like a family, but you must lay down your arms," Li Yu smiled and got off the horse, smiled and walked towards Jin Bing, both arms open at the same time: "When fighting, everyone fights with their lives, whether they die or live depends on their own ability, we can still be brothers if we don't fight." ”

Mo Rige was startled, and hurriedly and several pro-soldiers held shields to protect Li Yu's side, the soldiers of the pro-guard battalion immediately raised their bows and arrows, but Li Yu pushed Mo Rige away and continued to walk towards Bai Ge, Bai Ge's eyes were moist, he understood that Li Yu wanted to hug him, this is to treat them as friends and brothers, not to treat them as soldiers, the flag soldiers knew that there was no way to escape, and they threw down their weapons one after another, Bai Ge no longer hesitated, and walked forward quickly to hug Li Yu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief - the flag soldiers took the initiative to disarm, and this battle was over.

After the battle, the Fengzhou army annihilated a thousand miscellaneous gold troops with very small casualties, and more than 500 prisoners were captured, most of them were surrendered by the original Ming Kingdom, everyone was not interested in this group of people, and they drove away after a whip lesson, and the remaining 150 or 60 gold soldiers became Liu Xingzuo's target of fighting, but his work was not effective, the gold soldiers had a family in Liaodong, and few were willing to mix with him, Liu Xingzuo only pulled a dozen people into the gang, and he was so angry that he scolded this group of people for being too stubborn.

It was dark, the Fengzhou army temporarily found a place to rest near Qian'an City, the cattle killed in the battle became everyone's delicacy, the meat tube was enough, and even the captured Jin soldiers were stained with light, Liu Xingzuo's Asari, Fei Yangwu and others also got into the captives and talked about their nostalgia, everyone talked lively with snot and tears, Bai Xianzhi and Zhang Chuanjie's Datong officers and soldiers also came over, the two sides did not understand the language, so they had to talk and brag blindly - Bai Xianzhi discovered a phenomenon, after he brought out the Ming army from Datong and the Eight Banners soldiers had close exchanges, It turned out that the Eight Banners soldiers who were blown up to the gods turned out to be the same croppers as them, and they were less and less afraid of the Jin soldiers, and today's battle was obviously better than the battle in Karaqin, and it was a bit of a deliberate bullying of the Jin soldiers, so he now encouraged his subordinates to contact the prisoners more.

Li Yu and Bai Ge are eating meat together, hearing the excitement here, they also came over with a bowl and chatted with everyone, most of the captives were Bai Ge's people with yellow flags, but Li Yu didn't find the people from Uncle Wudai in Beitunzi, the old people with white flags all knew about Li Yu's help to the villagers in Wula, and everyone didn't treat him as an outsider, and a few people also complained that Li Yu shouldn't help Ming Guo beat them, with his Baturu skills and relationship with the Great Khan, it was okay to return to Jin Country as a general soldier, and it was likely that he would also help Haoge Belle Zoli to set the yellow flag business, Then they'll be a family.

Li Yu's face sank when he heard this, and he put down the bowl and was silent for a while before saying: "Everyone knows that I am from Wula, we work hard in Wula Mountain to support ourselves, no one will bully anyone, drought and plague force us to have no way to go out of the mountain, we just want to have a way to live, we don't want to go to war, but what did Jin Guo let us do, kill the Ming people, kill the Mongols, kill the Han people of Liaodong, kill the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field, we are still cold and hungry, I don't want to be a knife to kill people in other people's hands, I want to find a new way of life for everyone, a way of living that doesn't need to kill, loot and can live well, I'm already doing this with the Tumuts, our Mongols, Han people and Hui get along like a family, there are no nobles and no Aha, everyone farms and grazes together, shares the harvest together, no one can bully anyone, everyone thinks it's good, the villagers there love this new home, but the Great Khan's ambition is too great, he wants to fight wherever he can know, today he fights Mingguo, Maybe tomorrow he will take you to our house, do we have any other choice but to pick up a knife to protect our home? If I abandon the folks there and run away by myself, is that still a human being? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, Bai Ge shook his head and said with a wry smile: "As soon as you say this, I want to run to you, and I still have the fastest life when I follow you, but it's a pity that I'm old, and there is another family that drags me down, and I can't run if I want to." ”

"Baturu, my family is also from Ulla, are there many people in Ula there are you?" A young man asked with a look of adoration.

"In addition to me, there is also a child, if you want to come, there will be three," Li Yu replied seriously, everyone looked at the young man and laughed, Li Yu continued, "We already have a lot of Zhushen there, Jianzhou people, Yehe people, and Hada people, but don't all of you come, I can't afford to support so many of you now." ”

Everyone laughed even harder, Li Yu asked again how the life of the captives was at home, and the captives sighed, Liaodong has been bitter these years, spring cold, drought continues, there is a plague in some places, the life of ordinary flag soldiers is not easy, sometimes the family will run out of food, everyone has no way to come out to fight, just like this time into the Ming State Pass, Qingzhuang finally survived the green and yellow season, and the family also has more food to eat, but this crime is not comfortable! Thousands of miles back and forth, tired people to peel off their skin, they have done bad things, robbed a lot of property, but must be handed over to the Great Khan according to the rules, first by the Great Khan first reward the clan, nobles and meritorious heroes, and then distribute to each flag, and then according to Jiala, Niu Lu step by step down, there are not many that really fall into their hands, this year can be counted, what to do next year? Keep fighting? War is to die, and who wants to die? Crazy people are willing to fight all the time, everyone thinks that it is a bad fate, if they are born in the family of Baylor, Beizi or Xungui, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there are people waiting for them when they go out, they enjoy happiness, others shed blood, and military merit and property have to be counted as their share, everyone thinks that this is unfair.

Li Yu couldn't think of any good way, so he said that if his way of life could be successful, maybe everyone would have a good life, but everyone didn't seem to have hope for him, he simply blew nonsense, and said to everyone with a smile, in fact, the war is between the emperor and the Great Khan, and what is the matter of the poor people, if the emperor and the Great Khan can't figure it out, it is best for them to draw a field, each person wears a short coat, and then carries a wooden stick, and fights by themselves, whoever wins is the boss, and those who like to fight are also easy to do, and they pay their own money to shout and cheer, I really can't stand it, you can also carry a stick to help the battle, anyway, whoever wins will listen to whom, let's just listen to the excitement.

As soon as Li Yu's words were finished, everyone laughed, as if they had seen the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom and the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom wearing shorts and holding sticks and fighting together, Bai Xianzhi, Zhang Chuanjie and others were used to living a lawless life in Fengzhou, and the emperor was not a matter to them, and whistled and coaxed together.

After eating, Li Yu whispered to Bai Ge: "Brother, it's not early, we're also on the road, you've eaten, pack up and go back to Qian'an City, we will leave the armor, bows and arrows, and you will take the other horses and weapons with you, you won't have an opinion, right?" ”

"What else do we have to say, today I am fortunate to meet your brother Erlu, or I will die, so be it, we will still be brothers in the future." Bai Ge said to Li Yu with a grateful face.

Li Yu nodded and turned around to leave, Bai Ge remembered something again, and grabbed him: "Brother, you won't fight the Jianchang camp, let me tell you, the Jianchang camp is not easy to fight, there are 100 banner soldiers and 500 Ming troops stationed there, and another 100 banner soldiers were sent last night, you can't beat it down if you don't have siege equipment." ”

"I know what to expect, thank you."

"I see that your people don't seem to bring much food, so let's do it, there are still some property and food in Qian'an City, I want to find a way to get some for you, even if we redeem ourselves, the money and food in the Jianchang camp are not easy to take, brother, don't take this risk."

"I see." Li Yu and Bai Ge hugged each other, and the two broke up.

Watching Bai Ge and his party disappear into the night, Zhang Chuanjie smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Yuzi, this guy is too generous, this is a hundred or so heads, how much can it be exchanged!" ”

"You kid knows how to exchange your head for money, you know why you are a guerrilla, but he is a lieutenant general? This is the gap," Bai Xianzhi didn't know when he got behind him, and kicked his ass, and then said with emotion, "It's a blessing for Yuzi to help us!" With him on our side, Jianyi will not be a monolith in the future, you wait to see the excitement, after Bai Ge's gang goes back, there will be a good show in Qian'an City. ”
