The next day, Yue Tuo and Hao Ge waited until the sun set and did not see Li Yu's shadow, and in the evening Zilharang and Abatai arrived with five thousand cavalry - Tiancong Khan heard that Li Yu attacked his baggage outside the pass, and Li Yu was also mixed with Liu Xingzuo's rebellion, so he was so angry that he was like thunder, and ordered Jierharang and Abatai to go out of the customs immediately, and must arrest the Hun boy Erlu, he wanted to beat the kid with a whip first, and then lock up the kid to read for half a year, as for Liu Xingzuo, he didn't bother to mention it, This guy dared to cheat to death and betray gold, if it weren't for the Ming army general talking about this, he would still be kept in the dark, and he would not be angry when he killed him, he should be broken into thousands of pieces, and the two gray mouths set up an ambush for him to hide, and this time he can no longer be let go.

Jilharang and Abatai met Yuetuo and Haoge, and they didn't see Li Yu's shadow for a day on the grassland, Li Yu disappeared as if they had disappeared, and the snow fell heavily again, and the Jin army had to camp on the spot to avoid the wind and snow, and the snow fell for two days in a row, and when the snow was light and they were ready to continue the search, the messenger of the Great Khan arrived, so that they didn't wander in the snow, Erlu had already entered the customs from Luowenyu, and the Great Khan ordered Jilharang and Abatai to enter the customs immediately, Yuetuo and Haoge continued to escort the grain back to Shenyang, and the people who transported the grain, Cattle were requisitioned directly from the Karaqins.

As soon as Li Yu received Chang Shun's message, he immediately understood that the reinforcements of the Jin army were about to arrive, Yue Tuo was delaying time, and this little carving insect skill could not hide from him, Li Yu led the troops to break away from the Jin army as soon as it was dark, and ran to the side wall of Jizhen in one breath, he planned to set fire on the side wall again, and completely contain the Jin army in the side wall.

The side wall of the first line of Jizhen was basically controlled by the Jin army, and it was not easy to enter the customs from the fort of Jizhen, Meng Ke took a sentry guard battalion to turn around under the side wall and did not find a loophole, but the sound of guns and shouts from the direction of Luo Wenyu attracted his attention, Li Yu listened to his report and immediately led his troops to Luo Wenyu Fort, this opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob can not be missed.

Fengzhou Iron Cavalry was blowing trumpets and shouting under the fort, Bai Xianzhi also sent people to fight for a while, but did not get a response from Guannei, as the shouting and killing in Guannai gradually stopped, the Fengzhou army also retreated listlessly, they did not go crazy to attack Guanbao. As the Fengzhou army withdrew from the fort, the gate of Luo Wenyu's fort suddenly opened, and dozens of cavalry rushed out and stopped more than 300 steps away from the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry.

"Are you from Tumut Chuanhongbaturu? I've seen your Black Eagle Banner. The cavalry that came out were all dressed as Mongols, and an officer shouted at the Fengzhou cavalry who met them, "Is Humba Tulu coming?" I am Kubai of the Uziyat tribe, and I know your Humba Tulu and the man who was a horse thief. ”

Li Yu and Meng Ke hurriedly came to the front of the battle when they heard the news, Li Yu looked at the stout man in his early thirties in front of him and felt a little familiar, and Meng Ke's sharp eyes immediately recognized it: "You are the Kubai who was driven all over the ground by the Chahar people in the Xilamulun River, how did you get mixed with the people of the Jin Kingdom?" Don't you hate them very much? ”

"Why did you raise the banner of the Ming Kingdom, have you taken refuge in the Ming Kingdom?" Kubai asked rhetorically.

"Lao Tzu is looking for the broken flag of the Ming Kingdom to eat mixed rice, do you care about it?"

"I think of you, you are the eldest brother of Kubai, we attacked the Chahars together in the Xilamulun River, and we also fought the Konot cavalry of Guiyingcha together, I remember that after we fought the Chahars, you defected to the Karaqin people in the south, we haven't seen each other for several years, how are you and your people doing?" Li Yu pushed away Meng Ke, who was bickering, and greeted his old friend.

"It's not good at all, the Karaqin people are very poor and don't want to take us in, we wander around in the pastures of Karaqin, working hard to earn food, there are not many people alive," Kubai shook his head sadly, he looked at Li Yu and said, "Hung Batulu, the spring before last year, we followed Subu Ditaiji from Karaqin to Kuku and Tun to fight the Chahar people, I saw you and your Black Eagle Banner in the team, but unfortunately there was a war at that time, Subu Ditaiji dragged us away early, we didn't have a chance to find you, I didn't expect to meet here, Humba Tulu, what are you doing here? Do you want to attack Rowan Valley? ”

"We have a war between Fengzhou and the Jin State, you have the banner of the Jin State on this broken fort, of course we have to fight, Kubai, surrender quickly!" Monk interjected.

"The Uziyettes will never surrender!" Kubai waved his hand to Meng Ke and said solemnly, "However, the Uziyates have never sworn allegiance to the Jin League, and it is their Karaqin business that Subudi wants to be a dog leg for the Great Khan of the Jin State, and we are only staying here to earn some food and cloth, Humbaturu, I once said that if you are the leader, I will do it with you, I have heard a little about Fengzhou, but unfortunately the Chahar people can't get along in the middle, and now you are willing to take us in?" ”

"Brother Kubai, you don't need to call me Humbatulu, so the people of Fengzhou are equal brothers and sisters." Li Yu smiled and dismounted, and opened his arms to Kubai, who wiped his eyes, jumped off the horse and hugged Li Yu tightly.

Luo Wenyu went down without a fight, the Fengzhou army successfully entered the fort, Kubai told Li Yu as he walked, about 10,000 Ming troops suddenly appeared near Zunhua at dawn, and some people wanted to attack Luo Wenyu, but this group of Ming troops was too weak in combat effectiveness, basically a rabble, and his Mongolian cavalry easily crushed the opponent, and captured three or four hundred prisoners.

"The big Belle Daishan of the Jin country has already reinforced Zunhua, claiming to have 30,000 horses, and the battle was very lively at the beginning, the sound of guns and cannons was non-stop, but it stopped after noon, it is estimated that the main force of the Ming army was defeated, and the Ming army in the pass was like this, and it was not fought at all." Kubai said, shaking his head.

"The Jin army doesn't have so many people, it's good to have 10,000 people," Li Yu shook his head and asked again, "How many people do you have?" How long does it take to get gathered? ”

"My people are all in the fort, there are more than 800 men, women and children, there are fewer men, less than 300, you can leave immediately, there are more than 100 people from the Mongolian battalion of the Jin Kingdom in the fort, most of them went to Zunhua Jin Guo Dabeile to grab the booty, and the remaining 20 or so left in the fort were tied up by my people, these guys like to kill and loot, they are not good things."

"Kill them all, not a single one will be left, we must get out of here as soon as possible." As soon as Li Yu heard that it was from the Mongolian battalion, he immediately remembered the Wu Nag gang who killed people and set fire on Juehua Island, and he glanced at the Ming prisoners who were squatting on the snow in despair, and continued to order, "Release all the Ming prisoners and let them get out immediately." ”

Luowenyu Fort was lively again, Kubai's people wandered around with him, taking their livestock and dilapidated belongings with them wherever they went, and when they heard that they were going to leave again, they immediately began to pack up, and the lucky Ming army captives escaped death, and most of them left happily, but there were more than a dozen bold ones who did not go, shouting around Bai Xianzhi and Zhang Chuanjie, Bai Xianzhi ignored them, and was concentrating on picking up the heads, the heads of the unlucky men of the twenty or so Mongolian battalions were treasures, and with these heads, they could fool the officials of Datong, and they could also be exchanged for silver.

"The sound of guns and cannons over there in Zunhua has stopped, it must be that our army is in danger, since my lord is also an official army, and his subordinates are all elite cavalry, they will be caught off guard by killing Jiannu all the way, Lord Liu, they will be saved." A pockmarked Ming army officer pleaded eagerly.

"You are too strong to defeat Jiannu, we have too few manpower, and if we go, we will be sent to death, and we are Datong officers and soldiers, and we can't explain if we suffer a big loss." Zhang Chuanjie shook his head vigorously, he had a vicious battle with Jin Jun, and he no longer dared to underestimate his opponent.

"We can't compare with you, you are the elite border army of Datong Town, but we are the volunteers who were temporarily put together in the Beijing Division, Jiannu will definitely not be able to beat you, even if you suffer a loss, it is not a big deal, Lord Liu will order the military department to send a document to the governor of Datong to corroborate, and will also play the court to recount your merits."

"What is the official position of that Lord Liu you are talking about? Who are you? Bai Xianzhi finally brushed the last head with lime and put it in a sack, clapped his hands and asked coldly.

"Our adult's real name is Liu Zhilun, the master of the Hanlin Academy, the right attendant of the military department promoted by the emperor, I am Ding Qiming, the commander of the Beijing Battalion Artillery Capital, and the current standard general of Lord Liu." Mako replied proudly.

Bai Xianzhi was taken aback, the right attendant of the military department is also a Shu Jishi, this is a big official, maybe it is possible to enter the cabinet as a scholar in the future, so he hurriedly changed his face and asked this pockmark named Ding Qiming.

Li Yu, Liu Xingzuo, and Kubai were discussing their next move in front of the map, and Bai Xianzhi jumped and ran over: "Great commander, let's send troops quickly, this time we want to catch a big fish." ”

Bai Xianzhi even said that he told Ding Qiming what he said again, and said eagerly: "We don't know our whereabouts, Jiannu, let's send troops to Zunhua to find a loophole to beat them, take advantage of the chaos to snatch that old man Liu back, and in the future, if he speaks for us in the court, we will be angry!" ”

After hearing this, Li Yu shook his head: "Jin Guoda Baylor sent troops to reinforce Zunhua, the troops must be strong, it is too dangerous for us to send troops, I don't care what kind of military squire, in order to save him and take the lives of his brothers, I won't do this stupid thing!" ”

"How can this be a stupid thing, we are one person and two horses to fight and withdraw quickly, it is not too difficult to save someone and get people out, we also have to plan for the future!" Bai Xianzhi was very unconvinced.

"General Bai Shen is right, being able to rescue important members of the imperial court will definitely be beneficial to the future of Fengzhou," Liu Xingzuo thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that complicated, this place is close to Zunhua, let's send scouts to investigate the situation in Zunhua first, do it if you have the opportunity, leave if you don't have the chance, you can't delay the time." ”

Kubai immediately said: "I will send someone to accompany the scouts, we are familiar with this area, and it will not attract the attention of the Jin army, and I will also bring some young people to stay and help you." ”

"Then let's do it." Li Yu nodded, but he still asked Kubai's people to go on the road immediately, and to speed up their walking, and strive to catch up with Zhao Ji and Ma Guangyuan.

In the afternoon, the scout came back to report that the Ming army in the direction of Zunhua had been defeated, and the rest of the people fled to Niangniangmiao Mountain to hide, and the Jin army was searching the mountains to capture the fleeing Ming army, but the main force of the Jin army led by the Jin State Dabeile was evacuating, and the Jin army that searched the mountains and cleaned the battlefield only had a small number of flag soldiers, most of whom were Mongols who followed the Jin army into the pass.

As soon as the fighter plane appeared, Li Yu immediately decided to fight, and he ordered Liu Xingzuo to lead the two hundred cavalry of Kubai and Meng Ke as the vanguard, and the whole army marched in concealment, striving to catch the other side by surprise.

Liu Zhilun, the right attendant of the Ming Dynasty Army, is with the determination to die, the change of the various officials and soldiers are losing every day, and the ministers of the court are in a hurry, he and his friend Jin Sheng, the wandering monk Shen Fu likes to get together to talk about military affairs, the Jin army invaded in a big way, they felt that the time to serve the country had come, and took the initiative to ask the court for war, and strongly recommended Shen Fu who was familiar with reading military books and good at building chariots as a general, the emperor was moved by their righteousness, and promoted Liu Zhilun to the right of the military department, the assistant Jingying Rongzheng, Shen Fu was the deputy chief soldier, and Jin Sheng was the imperial history supervisor, Recruiting volunteers to train a new army to meet the enemy, the three of them had a difficult start in the jealousy and ridicule of the Korean Chinese Wu Qunchen, there were no soldiers in their hands, they recruited soldiers everywhere, deserters, idlers and beggars, those who were willing to join the army to serve the country were immediately included in the army, and there were no officers in their hands, so they gathered the idle officers in the Beijing camp, and those who had led the soldiers were temporarily appointed as chief soldiers and adjutant generals, and those who had fought were awarded the posts of staff generals and guerrilla officers, and there were no weapons in their hands, so they collected discarded weapons in the barracks, and there was really no way to raise money to build them themselves, Jin Sheng and Shen Fu worked hard to build hundreds of bamboo and wood cannons, so that the army had some decent weapons. The army has not yet been formed, the emperor can't wait to order them to fight, Shen Fu had to take 7,000 people who have not yet formed an army out of the Beijing division, the prime minister of the Qin Wang army of the general army Man Gui looked down on them, drove them to the forefront of the Lugou Bridge line, and deliberately let the Ming army shoot them with arrows, the morale of the people who had suffered a lot was low, and the strong Jin army was defeated in a battle, Shen Fu did not retreat and died heroically, Jin Sheng happened to go to Beijing at that time to tell the state of Man Gui, only to escape a catastrophe.

Shen Fu was defeated and died, Liu Zhilun was under more pressure, and asked to lead the troops to fight under the grief and indignation, and the emperor also seemed to regret that he easily threw out the official position of a soldier squire, regardless of not asking Liu Zhilun to send troops, Liu Zhilun simply organized the more than 10,000 people he finally pieced together into eight battalions, and hurriedly went on the road, they had nothing but fists to serve the country, no food, no ordnance, and even no cotton clothes, and the courtiers watched them go out of the city like dead people.

Liu Zhilun led the troops through Tongzhou, the Tongzhou guards did not allow them to enter the city, the road encountered a heavy snowstorm, he was hungry and cold, he entered the temple to rest for a night, impeached him for not advancing the army to the Beijing Division, the emperor immediately mercilessly issued an edict urging him to enter the army, Liu Zhilun understood that all the people wanted him to die, the Ming Dynasty did not lack the military department, and the lack of martyrdom of the senior officials, since this is the case, then sacrifice his life to take righteousness, he made up his mind to attack the retreat of the Jin army Zunhua City, and Jiannu fought to the death, when passing through Jizhou, he and Ma Shilong, who was stationed in Jizhou with heavy troops, Wu Zimian and other generals made an appointment, he took Yiyong to fight with Zunhua's Jiannu, and the Zhengpai Ming army in Jizhou didn't need to do anything else, just send troops to contain the main force of the Yongping Jin army.

Liu Zhilun arrived in Zunhua but did not get any help from the main force of the Ming army of Jizhou battalion, Dai Shan led more than 10,000 Jin troops from Yongping swept in, Liu Zhilun just set up camp according to the book of soldiers, and was considering using the Bagua Array or the Plum Blossom Array to meet the enemy, the Jin army's large and small artillery guns came, and the volunteers responded in a hurry, Jin Sheng, Shen Fu's bamboo and wood cannons could not beat the opponent's copper and iron cannons, but they exploded and cracked, and the camp was also beaten to pieces, and the cavalry of the Jin army took the opportunity to rush over, The flesh and blood of the righteous and brave could not stop the iron cavalry of the Jin army, and the eight battalions were instantly crushed by the seven battalions, Liu Zhilun had no way to retreat, and faced the strong enemy with a mortal heart, and retreated to Niangniangmiao Mountain to make the last resistance while fighting.

I am worthy of the emperor and the court, this is my place of death, Liu Zhilun thought sadly, the Jin army is getting closer and closer, his standard battalion officers and soldiers bravely meet it, and then die in front of him one after another, the Jin army obviously noticed the pile of rocks where he was hiding, a young Jin officer was beckoning a group of Jin soldiers, constantly shooting arrows at him, Liu Zhilun's personal soldiers around him fell down with arrows, Liu Zhilun decisively called his own family Liu Er.

"You take my big seal and run away, and tell the courtiers that I, Liu Zhilun, will die here today." Liu Zhilun took off the seal ribbon, pushed Liu Er, who was still crying, away, and then stood up from the pile of rubble, and the Jin State officer not far away on the opposite side smiled and aimed his bow and arrow at him.

"Mu Chengge, your kid used to run here, pay back the money quickly." As soon as the officer of the Jin State mounted the arrow, he heard a familiar voice calling him, he quickly rubbed his eyes, and it turned out to be his old acquaintance Meng Ke in Shenyang who was rushing over with a knife.

"Monk, my lord, how did you get here? Oops, how can there be Liu Aita? Mu Chengge suddenly saw Liu Xingzuo and the fluttering black eagle flag, he shouted and threw down his bow and arrow and ran down the mountain, Meng Ke cut down the two flag soldiers, and chased after Mu Chengge.

The other Jin troops were still stunned, Liu Xingzuo and Kubai had already killed, the knives and axes cut down the Jin army, the Jin army was caught off guard, an officer just wanted to command the formation, was shot down by Asari with an arrow, Liu Xingzuo's personal Aha Fei Yang howled and rushed into the enemy group, with the mace in his hand smashed the Jin army to the blood splash, the Jin army saw that the situation was not good, and crawled down the mountain to escape.

Liu Zhilun escaped death and sat on the ground as soon as he sat on the ground, Ding Qiming and others who came with the team rushed up to help him up, and Liu Zhilun was shocked for a while.

At this time, the mountains and mountains have been mixed up, the Black Eagle Banner and the Flying Tiger Flag have been unfurled one after another, the Fengzhou Army has opened a killing ring to the unsuspecting Jin Army, and the Eight Banner soldiers reacted, shouting while fleeing, "Erlu is here, Liu Aita is here, run!" The Mongolian soldiers were concentrating on the corpse of the Ming army to find property and strip clothes, and suddenly they were stunned by the sudden change, and were wantonly slashed and killed by the swept Fengzhou iron cavalry, and the Jin army of Niangniang Temple Mountain was in chaos, and the flag soldiers who came down from the mountain grabbed the horses and ran, and the Mongols fled with their masters when they saw this.
