Sakhalian didn't dare to go too far from the main force, just around the Dushikou for more than 30 miles, the Fengzhou army patrol always stared at the Jin army, at any time may come up to take a bite, can not help but beware, the other party did hit this idea, several times sneaked to the direction of the Dushikou, were driven away by Sakhalian, but only a day later, and the momentum came, the other party obviously got reinforcements, seeing that the Jin army was no longer dodging, rampage and killed.

It was Zhang Yichuan's 2,500 infantry who came to support, but there were horses or mules to ride, and at least a donkey, so the march was very fast - this guy was bent on taking the lead, so he ran away with the garrison who came to assemble first, and threw Liu Xingzuo off for more than half a day. After Zhang Yichuan rendezvoused with the patrol cavalry of Dehun An and Martyr's Rite, he heard that there was a cavalry of the Jin Army nearby, and there were not many of them, so he immediately became interested and shouted that he wanted to eat this plate of food delivered to the door first.

"Dehun An, Martyrdom, do you dare to fight this battle with me? If you don't dare, stay away and see how I clean up this golden bank. Zhang Yichuan shouted arrogantly, the leader of the thieves back then, the "sweeping king", is now a guard of thousands of households with the rank of general, which is equivalent to a deputy garrison, and has fought a big battle and entered the military selection camp, so he has confidence in his heart, and he is also coaxed when he speaks.

"Fight, fight, who wouldn't dare?" Dehun An and Lie Li were a little hesitant, but Zhang Yichuan's words were infuriated, the two of them were guerrilla deputy garrisons, and their qualifications were also shallow, so it stands to reason that they should also listen to Zhang Yichuan's command.

The three of them unified their opinions, and went to clean up the Jin army early the next morning, Sakhalian of course could not admit it, and immediately raised troops to meet the battle, the two sides set up a position and started fighting, the empty prairie boiled for a while, the killing sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the arrows came and went, the Jin army attacked the other party with cavalry and archery according to the old method, and Zhang Yichuan protected the wings with Dehun An and Martyrdom, and the other horses slowly advanced while shooting arrows and guns - Zhang Yichuan had never done cavalry after all, and involuntarily set up an infantry formation.

What kind of miscellaneous soldier is this, riding a mule or a donkey can also dare to play against each other - Sakhalian looked at his opponent angrily, but the opponent was not easy to deal with, at least the people had the advantage in numbers, and they could shoot arrows on mules and donkeys. The Jin soldiers rushed back three times, and immediately revealed their original form, and the thousands of people who could be cavalry were on the horses, and the other thousands of people rode on horses to fight alone, and it was a little chaotic in the team, so the Jin infantry dismounted and marched in formation, attacking the two wings of the Fengzhou Army with cavalry. Zhang Yichuan was eager to do this, and also ordered Dehun An and Lie Li to entangle the cavalry of the Jin army, and all the garrisons he brought with him dismounted, as well as donkeys and mules, and re-formed a dense infantry formation according to the method learned from the Wuxuan battalion, and continued to advance towards the Jin army.

After several years of development, there are more and more veterans in the garrison, and the weapons and equipment are getting better and better, and the most important thing is that they are still despising the opponent psychologically, and the Jin soldiers found that the other party is not a strong Fengzhou battalion soldier, but a garrison soldier with the flag of the guard, and he also has confidence in his heart, and no one on either side is afraid of anyone, and they collide together violently. Both armies are in the front row of heavy armor soldiers to assault forward, the back row of light armor soldiers throw arrows to cover, the difference is that the Fengzhou soldiers like to use spears to stab, while the Jin army is good at close combat with knives and axes, but today's Fengzhou soldiers are generally wearing armor, the Jin army used the old method of arrow rain attack in the past is not working, but because of the use of short weapons some losses, so it is also replaced with spears to stab. Both sides use dense infantry formations, do not let each other stick together, you stab me one, I will immediately stab you one, the strong army meets the brave wins, since no one is willing to admit and flee, then it depends on whose blood is shed first, the battle has become a war of attrition at this time.

The cavalry fought without danger, the Jin cavalry was slightly larger, and the Fengzhou cavalry cavalry was slightly stronger, both sides had their own advantages and were equal, and they were helpless to take the opponent, and no one took advantage of the two rounds of hedging, and they all pinned down each other with mutual shooting, and patiently waited for the results of the infantry - the Jin army thought that its infantry was the first in the world and would definitely be able to defeat the militia of Fengzhou, and the Fengzhou army also thought that its infantry was outnumbered, and it would definitely be able to beat the Jin army.

It was Sakhalian who couldn't hold his breath, those Fengzhou soldiers were determined to fight to the end, and the Jin army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, would definitely not be able to withstand attrition, could this kind of battle still be fought? How many can survive even if they win? His father Daishan cared most about the family background of the two red flags, and would never spare him as a loser - the more Sakhalian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally made up his mind to retreat near noon.

In the end, it is the elite, hearing the sound of the withdrawal of troops, the Jin army got rid of the entanglement of the Fengzhou army very quickly, and ran away as soon as they got on the horse, the Fengzhou army was still worse, and when they rode back on the cattle, the other party had already run away. Zhang Yichuan raised his spear to the sky and laughed, killing three hundred enemies and losing four hundred, he was very content, from the day of the rebellion, whether it was fighting the official army or the gold army, he had never had such a good record, this kind of exchange was too worthwhile, the other party was a world-famous pigtail soldier.

Sakhalian was lucky, fortunately the decision was timely, otherwise he would not have been able to run away - just at noon, Liu Xingzuo led 3,000 Xinghe guards to arrive, and then Darhan also led 2,000 Chahar cavalry to arrive. Sakhalian was terrified when he heard the news, and he stubbornly blocked the way of the Fengzhou army, retreated backwards while fighting, delayed the opponent's advance as much as possible, and at the same time urgently asked for help from Dushikou.

After Yue Tuo and Haoge arrived, Sakhalian breathed a sigh of relief, the combined strength of the three of them was more than 6,000 people, and it was enough to deal with Liu Xingzuo's more than 8,000 garrisons, but since Liu Xingzuo had arrived, Li Yu must be behind, and they felt their scalps tingle.

"My father Khan is still far away, we will definitely not be able to defeat Erlu, is it a step back? We shouldn't have sent troops this time, we were originally planning to bargain with Erlu outside the Xuanfu border. Hauge said, scratching his head.

"It's right to send troops, you must react when you lose the border of Xuanfu, and you have to force Erlu to make concessions, otherwise what is the face of Dajin Kingdom? It's a pity that he couldn't seize the monolith, and he lost some chips, but it doesn't matter, Dolgon is still surrounding Erlu's people," Yue Tuo kept his head down in contemplation, glanced at Sakhalian and said, "Third brother, you have the best relationship with Erlu and Aita, go and ask them out to talk, it's really not okay to start fighting again." ”

Sakhalian nodded: "I'll go to them, Erlu and Aita are not dead-eyed, they will understand the stakes." ”

Before Sakhalian had time to leave, the Fengzhou army took the initiative to come to the door - in front of the Jin army camp, the Fengzhou army flag fluttered, the horn sounded, the 1,500 garrisons of the Guanshan Guarding Thousand Households were neatly arrayed, several leather cannons were also placed in front of the formation, pointing directly at the Jin army, Dehun An and the two wings of the 1,000 elite cavalry of the Martyr's Rite were protected, and Liu Xingzuo and Asari led the main force of the infantry cavalry to press the formation behind. Zhang Yichuan, who tasted the sweetness of the first battle, was full of confidence, this guy had been a swordsman and a horse thief in Yulin before the rebellion, and he had kung fu in his hands and was brave, riding a horse and carrying a knife, and ran to the Jin army with a loud shout, asking the other party to send someone out to fight alone.

Zhang Yichuan's Chinese dialect was mixed with half-baked Mongolian dialect and scolded indiscriminately, which angered the warriors in the Jin army, and lined up to go out to fight, Zhang Yichuan's ability was really not bad, and he defeated three Jin warriors in a row, and one of them was beaten by him so that he couldn't get up, so he let his companions carry him back. Zhang Yichuan was even more crazy, pointing at Jin Jun with a knife and scolding others for being cowardly, and only doing things that bully the soft and afraid of the hard, at this time a young general in the Jin Army appeared, and he cut without a knife, Zhang Yichuan smiled and raised his knife to parry.

After five or six rounds of fighting between the two, Zhang Yichuan no longer dared to slack off, the opponent's knife technique was extremely simple, nothing more than chopping, picking, stabbing, and sweeping, but the move was powerful and lightning, and he felt a little overwhelmed, this is very much like the playing style of the commander, fortunately, the opponent's young experience is not hot, and there is still a way to deal with it. The two sides made a mistake again, Zhang Yichuan made a false knife to attract the opponent's attention, and then abandoned the knife and jumped up and pounced on the other party, the young man didn't expect this move, he was hugged by Zhang Yichuan and rolled off the horse together, and was pressed down when he landed. Zhang Yichuan took the opportunity to punch and beat him, the young man was so angry that his face turned red, and he scuffled when he hugged Zhang Yichuan.

There are also such fights, it's so shameless! Jin Jun angrily shouted and scolded, the two officers rode out to help the battle, Dehun An and Lie Li also had itchy hands, rushed out of the queue to intercept the two Jin Guo officers and started fighting, and after a while, the four of them fell off their horses one after another, and simply wrestled on the ground with fists and feet, and continued to scuffle together, and the heads-up seemed to have turned into a group fight.

"Don't fight, Aobai, let go of that guy." Sakhalian shouted loudly, he and Yue Tuo and Hauge have been watching, until Ao Bai has the upper hand, riding on that guy and punching him, feeling that the brawl should end, after all, it is not good to meet the other party, and he pointed at the other party's people and shouted: "I am Bel Sakhalian of the Dajin Kingdom, go and call your deputy commander out to see me, I see his banner, and know that he is behind." ”

The old brother Sakhalian came, Liu Xingzuo was not good to see, and he came to the front of the battle after a while, and by the way, he also pulled Zhang Yichuan, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and wanted to find some stubble to get angry, but at a glance he saw that Ao Bai on the opposite side had dark circles under his eyes, and it was not easy to speak.

"Where's Eru? Tell him to come out immediately, don't think that you can hide if you grab the edge of the Xuan Mansion. Sakhalian opened his mouth coldly.

"We are taking back our own territory, not grabbing it."

"Is there a covenant of peace between us? Does Eru call us the Great Khan his father? Isn't it a robbery to drive my eldest brother out without saying hello? ”

Liu Xingzuo has a bit of a headache, everyone can talk about the big truth, but when it comes to specific matters, it is indeed Fengzhou who first grabbed the border of Xuanfu without negotiation, but he still can't show weakness on his lips: "Outside the border of Xuanfu is the territory of my Fengzhou, you keep saying that you have a peace treaty, father and son, but you don't pay it back, and you still want to make a mistake, is there such a reason in the world?" If you want to fight, then fight. ”

"I won't talk nonsense with you, tell Erlu to come out, and I'll reason with him."

"So you still want to talk, then let's talk, tell your people to withdraw from the Dushikou first, Erlu has always used troops in a wild and untraceable manner, maybe they have gone around behind you, don't blame me for not reminding you." Liu Xingzuo threatened with a smile.

"Do you think we didn't guard against this hand, and the Great Khan is following behind," Sakhalian was unconvinced, but a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and he thought about it and said, "However, we are friends after all, so we can not beat you for the time being, or we can make a step forward and camp by the Lightning River and wait for Erlu to come, remember, this is the last chance." ”

"Okay, let's talk by the Lightning River." Liu Xingzuo agreed with a smile.

The two armies each withdrew their troops back to the camp, Sakhalian immediately went back and told Yue Tuo and Haoge what he said to Liu Xingzuo, these two people are also a little weak-hearted, Erlu really likes to sneak attack, if he really cuts off the retreat, it will be troublesome, the ghost knows when the main force of the Great Khan will arrive, the more the three of them think about it, the more scared they become, they decided to wait for it to quietly retreat to the east bank of the Lightning River after dark, and then talk about being invincible first, as for Dolgon of Dushikou, just say hello, let him continue to attack Dushikou Fort, in case he succeeds, it is good to bargain with Erlu, It's really not possible to pick him up again, anyway, the Lightning River is not far from the mouth of the monolith.

Late that night, the Jin army threw down an empty camp and retreated suddenly, smearing and trekking all the way, and arrived at the east bank of the Lightning River not far from Dushikou at dawn, to the surprise of Yue Tuo, Hauge, and Sakhalian, Dolgon was already waiting there, and the three of them looked at each other angrily - Dolgon surrounded Ximenbao and Zhou Yuji for more than a day, and did not take any advantage, and finally dragged two baby Hongyi cannons up, one of which was also blown up, Dolgon had no confidence, and he was a little suspicious when he received Yue Tuo's letter, Those three bastard nephews have a close relationship with Erlu and Aita, will they take the opportunity to hack themselves, he is a person who hates both sides, no, the three of them must not be allowed to get rid of themselves, as soon as it was dark, he withdrew from the Dushikou with the golden soldiers and arrived at the east bank of the Lightning River in advance.

The Jin Guo Baylors are too worried, the Fengzhou Commander's Office, the Prime Minister's Office and the Council are very concerned about this Jin army, and they are reluctant to clean them up - Fengzhou thinks that it is reasonable and justified to take back the border of Xuanfu, but after all, it is unreasonable to do it first without negotiating with the Jin State, and more importantly, this kind of business partner who has money in his hands and is generous can not be found, and a fool will cut off trade with the Jin State, so he asked Li Yu to drive the Jin army away, but also not to beat them too painfully. To put it bluntly, it is to let Li Yu be cheeky and coax Jin Jun away. Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry at this, it was the first time he encountered the connection between war and business, he was a little suspicious that the group of businessmen used him as a partner, in fact, that group of businessmen not only used Li Yu as a partner, Li Jianji also put the idea on Chang Shu, the ambassador of trade and commerce of the Jin State, and asked Li Yu to bring this senior brother with him when he sent troops, this person has always advocated the peaceful coexistence of the Jin State and Fengzhou, and is full of good feelings towards Fengzhou, and may be able to ease the relationship with the Jin State.

Fengzhou met the Jin army this time, except for Xinghewei, did not mobilize the garrisons of other government guards, but the battalion soldiers were all completed and poured out, Li Yu led the cavalry left and right associations to take the lead, and Ma Guangyuan led the infantry left and right associations and the artillery associations were also all equipped with horses, and followed the cavalry for only one day's journey.

The Fengzhou cavalry did not leave the horse and galloped all the way, and met with Liu Xingzuo on the second day of the retreat of the Jin army, at this time the war had eased, and the Fengzhou army successfully entered the Dushikou, Zhou Yuji saw that the main force had arrived, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went out of the customs with Ren Shouzhong, the commander of the right battalion.

"Hermes-Epitek, give it back to you, the left and right battalions fought too hard this time, the deputy battalion officer Ding Chenglu was killed, the ten chief and deputy sentry commanders were killed and three were wounded, and nearly half of the soldiers were lost, so they must be withdrawn to rest." Zhou Yuji said in a deep voice.

"You withdraw to the Barbarian Mountain, and the Great Commander's Mansion will make up for you," Li Yu nodded, and shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the fort, "The left association and the right battalion are good, this is the first time that my Fengzhou army has fought a battle to defend the city, and the elite of the strong Eight Banners has been defeated at your feet, you can go back with your chest up." ”

Li Yu entered the Dushikou Fort in the cheers of the soldiers, and the devastation after the war made him feel a lot of emotion, or underestimate the Jin Army's ability to attack fortifications, if two battalions were put here at the beginning, the situation would be much better, Liu Xingzuo also regretted that he did not transfer a part of the garrison into the fort in time to assist in the defense.

"This place is too important, there must be no more mistakes, move the eastern line to here, I will guard it personally, Xue Xianguang is a talent, transferred to my side to be the same knowledge and garrison of Kaiping Guard, and Dehun An to be the deputy garrison, Zhang Yichuan performed well this time, removed the Guanshan Guard, and proposed him to be the Xinghe Guard, what do you think?"

"You are most familiar with the situation here, even if you say it, the Grand Consul's Mansion will go through a supplementary procedure to the Council, but how is the health of the eldest brother? Immigration is about to begin, and the work ahead is too heavy. Li Yu asked with concern.

Liu Xingzuo replied with a smile: "Wang Zheng is still working at the age of seventy, and I am only over fifty, don't worry, I am still working." ”

The two walked all the way and talked, Li Yu looked up and saw a group of soldiers pointing around a huge cannon, this should be the Jin army, Fengzhou does not have such a big artillery, he walked over curiously.

"The Hongyi cannon of the Jin army, this thing is too powerful, and it collapsed the fort wall, but fortunately they only brought two, and this cannon exploded and was thrown down by them." Zhou Yuji explained on the side, Li Yu circled around the cannon twice, and even exclaimed that the Jin army was too capable, and actually transported such a heavy thing from three or four thousand miles away.

"This is the Luzon cannon of the Ming army captured in Liaoyang many years ago, three or four thousand catties, it was used when fighting the Daling River, this thing may toss people, for these two Hongyi cannons, we used five hundred people to wait for it in two shifts." A guy dressed as Jin Jun next to him squeezed up and said.

Li Yu glanced at this guy and couldn't help laughing: "Duolong, this is the second time, you just don't leave, just follow me." ”

Duolong's face turned red, and he muttered and replied: "Actually, it's not bad to work with Baturu, but I have a wife and children in Liaodong, so I'd better go back." ”
