Zhang Zhiqi and Fang Yichen led more than 20 horsemen to gallop for five miles, turned a sparse forest, and a small mountain col appeared in front of them, and from a distance, a small village was located in the mountain pass, and several Ming cavalry were swimming in the mountain pass, and after seeing them, they rushed towards them quickly.

When the two sides had approached, one of the horsemen shouted, "Governor, please come with me." Lema led the way, leading them into the village through the side path.

After Zhang Zhiqi and Fang Yichen entered the village, the war horse that straddled the horse finally ran out of strength, fell to the ground and convulsed, foaming at the mouth.

Zhang Zhiqi couldn't care about so much at this time, turned his head to the cavalry and said, "But it's all arranged?" ”

The leading cavalryman said: "Back to the governor, tripping ropes and traps have been arranged, and the pits are full of fire oil, which will definitely stop the pursuers for a while." ”

"Good!" Zhang Zhiqi's eyes shot a fierce look, looked at the soldiers beside him, and said coldly, "This will be the most sinister battle we face, let Houjin Jianyu know that our Daming Erlang is by no means a timid coward, even if he dies here today, let them see the unyielding spirit of our Daming border army!" ”

"No!" Hundreds of soldiers responded in unison, all with resolute expressions and sad expressions.

Because they know that this may be the last battle of their military career, and they are likely to die here today, but in order to protect their families and defend the country, for the glory of the Ming army, they have no regrets.

Soon, the enemy's pursuing cavalry came to the outskirts of Tunzi.

Lijiatun was originally prosperous, but since Liaodong fell into war, because Tunzi is between Jinzhou and the right hoard, the geographical location is very unfavorable, so the people here are dead, fleeing, and now those who remain in Tunzi are some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who are not even willing to be plundered by Houjin, and there are less than 100 households.

After the Ming army entered this tunzi, they had already organized people to gather all the people in the tunzi to the back, and told them not to come out until the end of this war.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the enemy to rush in.

The vanguard cavalry of Houjin obviously did not take this tunzi seriously, and rushed straight towards the main passage into the tunzi. They wanted to set up a defensive attack and capture this Ming military governor who dared to play tricks on their master.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded closely, and the road was dusty and smoky.

But at this moment, the war horses under the crotch of the Houjin cavalry who rushed to the front suddenly stumbled and fell forward. Immediately afterwards, the sound of people turning over on their backs continued to sound, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of soldiers filled the road.

"There's a trip!" The Houjin soldiers shouted, but now they knew that it was too late, and the cavalry behind them could not stop the momentum even if they rode one after another, and the Houjin cavalry fell under their horses one after another, and countless horsemen were even tripped by the horses and soldiers who fell earlier.

But the Houjin cavalry was well-trained after all, and after a short setback, it quickly organized a new momentum again and approached the inside of the tunzi.

The Houjin generals who took the lead in the charge were even more disdainful of this behavior of the Ming army, the Ming cavalry had run out of horsepower and could only be trapped here, no matter how to play these tricks, they could not escape the fate of being completely annihilated.

Therefore, he ordered loudly: "Charge me and annihilate this Ming army." ”

With his order, the Houjin Iron Cavalry launched again and rushed towards the depths of the tunzi.

"Peng!" , a dense sound like a torrential rain sounded, and on the houses and trees on both sides of the road, countless sharp arrows shot out at the same time, shooting towards the Houjin cavalry.

The general hurriedly dodged sideways, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Fight back, fight back, give me a bow and arrows to fight back." "The Ming army actually used bows and arrows against them, so let them see the power of Dajin's cavalry and let them know who is the strongest with bows and arrows.

"Whoosh", the sound of breaking the sky continued to sound, and the Houjin cavalry bent their bows and arrows to reflect, shooting towards the Ming troops hiding in various directions on both sides of the road.

The two sides exchanged a rain of arrows, and many people fell down when they landed.

In the end, the Houjin cavalry still broke into a large open space in the center of the village, only to see that not far from the opposite side, the Ming army governor he had met before was still leading dozens of horsemen to stand on the opposite side, just looking at them for a long time.

In front of the cavalry of the Ming army, a long log jumped high, and on it hung a bloodstained human head, and a pigtail of money drooped weakly at the back of the head, swaying gently in the breeze.

The leader of the general saw it clearly and was shocked—since they didn't like to grow his hair like the Ming people, he was confident that he would not be mistaken, and this person was clearly the head of Yue Tobel.

Yue Tuo is the owner of the red flag, why did he die at the hands of this Ming army, and was still suspended by the Ming army at this time?

At this moment, Zhang Zhiqi, who was on the opposite side, spoke, rode forward a few steps, pointed to the head hanging high, and shouted at them: "Yue Tuo's head is here, does Haoge want to follow in his footsteps?" Then let the horses come! ”

In an instant, all kinds of emotions surged into the head of this post-Jin general, fear, shock, anger, and grief......

Yue Tuo was the leader of the young Baylor in Houjin, and now he died in the hands of this Ming army, which was something that had never happened since Dajin and the Ming Court were at war, and it was also an unimaginable thing, and he was really a little difficult to accept for a while.

However, his emotions were eventually occupied by anger, and the Ming army, which had always been weak, actually beheaded Yue Tuo, which was a great shame since the founding of Dajin and something he couldn't bear.

So, he raised his arms and pointed at Zhang Zhiqi and the others, and shouted: "Slaughter this Ming army for me, and leave no one behind!" Before he finished speaking, he rushed out and rushed towards the Ming army.

At the same time, the Houjin cavalry shouted and rushed towards the Ming cavalry after him.

But something unexpected happened to them, only to hear the sound of "plopping", the sound of a series of war horses falling into the pit, and the charging cavalry fell into the pit in front of the road.

Not only were these pits dug deep, but they were also filled with clay pots, so that they were severely injured by the broken clay pots, and the enemies in the pits were bleeding and wailing.

But the terrifying thing for them was still to come, and countless Ming troops suddenly appeared on the houses on the four sides in front of them, all of them holding bows in their hands, and put arrows towards the location of the tunnel.

This time, the Ming army shot rockets tied with tarpaulins, and these rockets fell in the tunnel, which immediately ignited a raging fire, and a continuous wall of fire was laid in front of Houjin.

At this time, the Houjin soldiers who had no time to climb out of the pit suffered and were engulfed by the swept tongues of fire, wailing and screaming, and the whole scene was like hell on earth, which was unbearable to see.

This is the strategy set by the Ming army to block the enemy, using three traps to block the pursuing Houjin cavalry.

The first is to set up a stumbling rope at the mouth of Tunzi to delay the enemy's offensive; The second is the archers who lie in ambush on both sides of the house, and shoot the enemy by surprise; The third is the current fire pit, which is used to deter enemies who dare to pursue deeply.

Everything is for one purpose, delaying the enemy, which is also something that Zhang Zhiqi has no way to do.

At this point, the fight will definitely not be able to fight, and you can only delay as much as possible, as long as you can delay, maybe you will be able to win the turnaround.

Zhang Zhiqi is a smart person, naturally he will not choose to fight hard with the enemy at this time, even if he wants to die, he will use all methods to kill a few more Houjin Tartars.

Now, his delaying plan can be said to be preliminarily achieved, and the Houjin cavalry, who rushed to the front, are now panicked, and have completely lost the fierceness they had at the beginning.

The Houjin general slashed over the fire all over his body, crawled out of the fire pit, and screamed at the Houjin soldiers who were rushing towards him, and said, "Retreat, everyone retreat!" ”

At this time, he was also shocked by the tragic situation in front of him, and lost the courage to continue fighting, so he decided to retreat first and take action after everything here was revealed.

Seeing that the enemy had retreated, Zhang Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Fang Yichen and said, "Brother Fang, it's still your head that works, this greatly angers the enemy, otherwise the enemy really won't necessarily fall for it!" ”

Due to the hasty arrangement, this pit was only lightly covered with thatch and sand, and if the enemy was careful, he could see the anomaly and not fall for it. When the time comes, as long as they advance slowly, they will have no way to go, and it will be difficult for them to survive.

Fang Yichen said unhappily: "Brother Zhang, what do you call my head, you have to say it clearly." ”

Zhang Zhiqi laughed and said, "Okay, it's that I didn't say it clearly enough, it should be said that it was the head you brought." ”

Fang Yichen ignored him, and said with a straight face: "Haoge will definitely not give up, how are you going to deal with it next?" ”

Zhang Zhiqi calmed down and sighed: "There is no way to avoid it, at this point, you can only fight with them to the end!" ”

Fang Yichen laughed and said, "I really can't imagine that the last battle in my Yichen's life will be to join hands with you, this is something I could never have imagined before!" ”

In the past, when they were in Beijing, although the two of them had their own positions in the court, both of them were proficient in swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and the so-called repulsion of the same person, at that time their friendship was really average, and they both had an idea of learning from each other and comparing each other.

Later, Fang Yichen left the imperial court, and there was less contact between them, and there was no chance to try each other at all.

Now that I have arrived in this land of Liaodong, I can't imagine that although we can't compete together, we can be loyal to the country and kill slaves together.

Now that there is such a result, it is not in vain that they have intersected and met each other, Zhang Zhiqi said in a deep voice: "Brother Fang, it is my honor Zhang Zhiqi to be able to fight with you!" ”

"Me too!" Fang Yichen replied lightly and set his eyes on the sea of fire in front of him.
