Before dawn the next day, Sun Yueling ordered 7,000 soldiers and horses to go north to rescue Jinzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Among these 7,000 people, 2,000 cavalry came from the Mangui Department and were commanded by Mangui; 2,000 cavalry came from the headquarters of the Guanning Army, commanded by the guerrilla general Wu Xiang; The 2,000 foot soldiers came from Jizhen and were commanded by Sun Zushou.

The 7,000 soldiers and horses were divided into three marches, and the 1,000 soldiers and horses brought by Sun Yueling and the 2,000 men of Sun Zushou marched in the center, with the Mangui Department responding to the left flank and the Wu Xiang Department responding to the right flank, and quickly drove towards the north.

The army had traveled about twenty miles, and the horses in front reported that they had discovered the scouts sent out last night.

Sun Yueling hurriedly ordered someone to bring the scouts over, and seeing that there were only two of them, all of them were covered with blood and their cotton armor was shattered, and asked, "Where is Fang Yichen?" What's up ahead? ”

One of them was the head of the scout team, Lao He, and he shouted at Sun Yueling: "My lord, the Tartars are in Tashan Fort, we finally escaped back, Lord Fang, in order to cover our retreat, he did not hesitate to fight with the Tartars, and we don't know what happened to him now......

Sun Yueling suppressed his fluctuating mood and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, you tell the matter slowly and know a little about it." ”

Lao He replied and told Sun Yueling in detail what happened yesterday.

After their twelve scouts set off last night, they were divided into three groups by Fang Yichen, each of them in a group of four, and marched towards the north in the three directions of left, center, and right. After a night of sneaking forward, a total of eight of the twelve people successfully sneaked to the outskirts of Tashan Fort, and found that the army sent by Houjin to Tashan was a large number of men and horses of the Zhenglan Banner, and it was no longer less than 10,000 in terms of scale.

Originally, according to Lao He's intentions, since they had found out this information, it would be enough to give an account to Lord Jinglue, but Fang Yichen insisted on learning more about the enemy's situation and refused to stop there. So under Fang Yichen's arrangement, they divided five people to monitor the periphery, and the other two infiltrated Tashan Fort with Fang Yichen to investigate.

The three of them infiltrated Tashan Fort to investigate, but found that the situation was very different, the soldiers sent to Tashan with the Zhenglan Banner and other banners were not as many as they appeared, most of them were captured Han soldiers, slaves and soldiers of the Mongolian Army Banner, and they found that a large amount of grain hoarded in Tashan Fort was not transported away by the Ming army in time, but remained in the local area as it was.

According to the veteran scouts, the food hoarded here is no less than 500,000 stones, no wonder Houjin sent a large number of people to carry it, but looking at the scale of this grain, there is no one who can never move it in one day or two days.

Just as they were about to retreat, who knew that the other person who was following Fang Yichen was discovered by the masters in the Chongding Alliance, causing the three of them to be exposed to the enemy's field of vision.

The Ming scouts dared to infiltrate the Tashan Fort occupied by the Houjin to conduct reconnaissance, which was something that had never happened before, and it was simply impatient. Chongding League's left protector Ghost Room Yoshinobu personally dealt with the three of them, and killed one on the spot.

Several people chased and chased to the outside of Tashan Fort, and the five scouts who were outside saw that there were pursuers, and then joined the battle, but the masters of Houjin and Chongding Alliance were also constantly coming, Fang Yichen ordered them all to retreat in order to pass on the news, and he stayed alone to block the ghost room Yoshinobu and Yue Tuo and others.

So far, they have to retreat first, otherwise none of them will be able to leave. But even so, only the two of them were able to escape back here, and the others were already missing.

When Lao He said this, he said hoarsely and sadly: "Lord Jinglu, even if Lord Fang is a martial artist, I am afraid that this time it will be more auspicious and ......less auspicious."

Sun Yueling took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "Your task has been completed, go down to recuperate!" ”

Lao He and another scout bowed to him and retreated.

Sun Zushou rode up and asked him, "My lord, the enemy is in Tashan Fort, what should we do?" ”

Sun Yueling sneered and said, "Fang Yichen finally lived up to his mission and found out the enemy's movements in Tashan Fort. It can be seen from this that Houjin did not have many soldiers in Tashan, most of them were sent to transport grain, and the mission of the soldiers with the blue flag was only to escort and monitor their transportation of grain, not to intercept our Ming army. Speaking of this, he turned to Sun Zushou and said, "So, what does General Zu think we should do?" ”

Of course, Sun Zushou was not a fool, and said excitedly: "In this case, we can launch a surprise attack while they are unprepared, and we may be able to retake Tashan Fort by surprise." ”

Sun Yueling nodded and said, "What you said is good, but Fang Yichen and the others had already startled the snake last night, and it is impossible for Houjin to be defenseless." In this way, he ordered the Mangui Department to send 200 cavalry as the vanguard to Tashan, and the rest of the soldiers and horses followed. ”

Sun Zushou responded to the order and gave the order to go.

The army continued to move forward, and walked out of the ten miles of road, Sun Yueling received a report from the herald of the Mangui Department, saying that the 200 cavalry had encountered a Tatar ambush in the front of the Lili Mountain, and the other side had at least 2,000 people, and the two sides had been mixed together, and Man Gui and You Shilu had led the remaining cavalry to relieve the siege.

After hearing this, Sun Zushou said angrily: "The Lili Mountain is less than ten miles in front, and it is not far from Ningyuan City. Please also ask the lord to give me an order, let me wait to support General Man, and kill the arrogance of the Tartars. ”

Sun Yueling groaned slightly, since the Zhenglan Banner is mainly to escort grain, then the people they can send out to fight should be limited, and the Tartars they encountered in Mangui are very likely to be the vanguard sent by Houjin. Moreover, even if all the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner are pressed up, with their nearly 10,000 people, they may not be unable to fight, if they see the enemy in the first battle and flee from the wind, then there is no need to fight in the future battles.

Thinking of this, he resolutely ordered: "The whole army is pressed and this Tartar is destroyed for me!" "At present, almost all the 7,000 soldiers and horses he brought are the elite of the Ming army, so he still has some confidence in his heart for the war front with Houjinye, even if he can't defeat the enemy, there should be no problem at all if he wants to retreat.

As soon as the military order was given, the whole army quickly moved and rushed towards the fence mountain.

Soon, Sun Yueling came to the foot of the fence mountain, and the sound of fighting in his ears gradually became louder.

At the foot of the mountain not far ahead, Mangui's 2,000 cavalry had already been fighting with the Houjin army.

Half of Sun Zushou's Jizhen soldiers were firecrackers and archers, which was not good to come in handy at this time, Sun Yueling ordered loudly: "General Sun, you and I will attack from the middle, and let Wu Xiangbu outflank from the right flank, and be sure to exterminate this Tartar here." ”

The generals were ordered, and thousands of men and horses quickly spread out, outflanking the fighting position.

"Kill!" Sun Yueling held the gun in his hand, shouted loudly, and rushed to the front of the horse, rushing towards the enemy. With 7,000 people to deal with only 2,000 Houjin Sanqi, he is full of confidence in his heart, even if it is "full of invincible" Houjin Tartars, what about them, aren't they raised by their parents and parents, all of them have extraordinary combat power, and they can be one against ten?

You must know that the situation at that time was that the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong were afraid of Houjin like a tiger, and they did not have the courage to fight with Houjinye at all, and often hundreds or thousands of Tartars could chase after tens of thousands of Ming troops to chase the poor and fight fiercely, and all kinds of situations were simply outrageous.

But he did not believe in it.

Not to mention Man Gui, the most daring general in the Guanning Army, even Sun Zushou, Zhang Zhiqi and others are not fuel-efficient lamps, if there are still people in the Liaodong military town who dare to fight in the Houjin field, it is none other than them.

Seven thousand men swept up, laying another encirclement on the periphery of the two sides of the melee, and this encirclement was constantly shrinking, squeezing the enemy's strategic space.

Sun Yueling saw at a glance that Man Gui and You Shilu were fighting fiercely with the enemy generals ten zhang away, and with one shot they knocked away the Houjin cavalry blocking the road in front of him, and shouted loudly: "General Man, I'm here to help you!" "Beat the horse and rush that way.

Unexpectedly, a horse rushed towards him in the oblique stab, and the man on the horse brandished a big knife, only to see a flash of cold light, this long knife had already slashed towards his head, and the strength was so strong that it almost made people stop breathing.

Sun Yueling was taken aback, who was the person who had such terrifying combat power, the power of this knife, even he who was used to seeing masters was shocked.

He raised his gun, and with a "dang" sound, he was deafening, and the two horses staggered by, Sun Yueling only felt that his arm was numb, and he could barely hold the spear in his hand.

With such divine power, it was almost unprecedented, he turned his head to look, and saw that this person was dressed in armor and had a hideous steel mask on his face, which looked terrifying.

Who is this?

Just as he was thinking about it, this man rode his horse towards him again, as if he decided that he was the commander of the Ming army, and he had to be cut off his horse.

Sun Yueling was taken aback, and he could almost guess the identities of several people. As he expected, this person should be the left protector of the Chongding League, the ghost room Yoshinobu, and he is a great master in the Chongding League, whose martial arts skills are no less than those of the alliance leader Zheng Huhuan. It is said that this guy is actually a North Korean, and for some reason he was caught up in Zheng Huhuan under his banner, and he was willing to work for Houjin.

I had long heard that this person must have worn a hideous mask when he went into battle, but now it seems that it is true.

Sun Yueling urged the horse forward, the spear in his hand was raised, and he was lucky with the strength in his body, and with one shot, he flashed a cold glow and stabbed towards the ghost room Yoshinobu.

The sound of "jingle bell" was endless, and in an instant, he fought with Onimuro Yoshinobu for more than a dozen rounds, but no one could help anyone.

However, the current battle is not alone, but with many outnumbered, even if Onimuro Yoshinobu can drag him down, but how can he block the impact of the Ming army. Under the impact from all sides, the Houjin army gradually lost its support, with a large number of casualties, and the formation gradually shrunk, and it was impossible to resist it.

Sun Zushou led a thousand foot soldiers to rush towards the core camp of Houjin, and the Yanling knife in his hand slashed horizontally and vertically, and each knife fell to take the life of an enemy. However, he also found that the army of the Later Jin was not all white-armored soldiers, and it also included many Mongolian Tatars and Han puppet armies, otherwise the attack would not have been carried out so smoothly.

It can be seen that this enemy army is clearly arrogant, thinking that the Ming army is vulnerable, and trying to stop them at Lili Mountain with thousands of people, which is simply ironic.
