Li Dazi crawled out of the dirt ditch on the side of the road, covered in mud, except for his blinking eyes and open and closed mouth, there was no place on his body to see his true color, and there was one less shoe on his feet, most of which were stuck in the mud and could not be found.

But none of this matters, the key is to save your life.

As soon as he thought of the huge cavalry team that pressed over like a black cloud just now, Li Dazi's legs were weak, if it weren't for his cleverness, he plunged into a thin quagmire on the side of the road and hid at the last moment, and now I am afraid that a small life will not be guaranteed.

Standing up straight on the side of the road with difficulty, looking at the sun shining on the earth overhead, Li Dazi was in a trance, the sound of horses' hooves rumbling like thunder rolling over had disappeared, and the smoke and dust on the horizon had slowly subsided, but he knew that those Mongolian soldiers were staying at Yajiao Fort twenty miles away, and he didn't need to look at it to know.

The eldest brother is really wise, Yajiao Fort can't be touched, and the Mongolian soldiers choose this side for crossing, although the oil and water are abundant, but they are not planned for a long time.

I knew that I would meet Mongolian soldiers on this trip, so I didn't come out. Li Dazi thought to himself, looking around, trying to find out where the eldest brother was.

"Big brother!" He dug a lump of mud out of his mouth and shouted.

The strong wind blew, blowing the bloody breath on the ground and pouring it into his nose, making him shiver.

On the road, on the side of the road, there were corpses everywhere, lying upside down, facing the sky on their backs, or with their heads in different places. There is not a single living person.

The bandits and the pigs died together without distinguishing from each other, some apparently struggling, with weapons in their hands; Some were scattered in the wilderness with arrows on their backs, and should have been shot while fleeing; And those wooden carts, which were once full of things, are now empty, and some broken things are thrown all over the ground.

"Your mother, this is more fierce than our bandits." Li Dazi wiped his mouth and muttered.

A "woo-woo" moan came and attracted the attention of Mr. Li's nephew, who searched and found his eldest brother under a cart.

Meng Lao Er was slashed twice, hit the vital point, and saw that he couldn't live, but he didn't lose his breath, and looked at Li Dazi with a hum, Li Dazi leaned over and grabbed his hand.

"Big brother!" Li Dazi's eyes were a little red: "Can you still hold on?" ”

Meng Laoer's eyes were scattered, he shook his head slightly, squirmed his mouth hard, and made a mosquito-like sound.

Li Dazi leaned his ear over and barely heard what he was saying: "Hurry, hurry, go to the grassland, pass and inform the nobles of the Horqin Department, the soldiers of the Khalkha Department are coming, inform them, you can get a reward of silver, you, you take the silver, go back, go back to the cottage, give it to my wife, and, also, protect me and my son well." ”

Li Dazi grabbed his hand tightly and nodded.

Meng Lao Er showed a look of relief on his face, and continued to gasp and said: "Nephew Li, I, I know that you are the most righteous, and it all depends on ...... Woo~~~! ”

Li Dazi laughed, and slowly pulled out the knife inserted into Meng Laoer's chest, and the knife came out through his chest, and the blade was full of blood.

"Big brother, don't worry, my sister-in-law and son-in-law will be handed over to me!" Li Dazi smiled cruelly: "I won't go to the Mongols, I know, you are afraid that I will go back and copy your private silver, and coax me to go to the Mongols to receive the death!" You're so good to me! Eldest brother! ”

Meng Laoer's eyes widened, and he burst out with his last strength to grab the placket of Li Dazi's clothes, but that was all, and in the next second, this military man suddenly lost his breath.

Li Da Yan "snorted" in his nostrils, wiped the short knife on Meng Laoer's clothes, didn't return to his waist, sat next to the corpse, and gasped for breath.

He thought for a while, looked in the direction of Yajiao Fort, looked at the way he came, and smacked on the ground: "Phew! The gods are fighting, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to suffer! No matter if you call over and fight, Lao Tzu went back and copied the bottom of the cottage, used silver, recruited troops, gathered hundreds of minions, Lao Tzu also wants to be a big brother, collect and buy road money, hehe, how happy! ”

He stood up, searched in a pool of blood, weighed his baggage, and staggered along the way he came.

……

Outside Yajiao Fort, Zhang Jianchun and Bentar Khan simply docked, and then summoned Liu Wei over, discussed a map with a comparison, and then stayed for a while, and the cavalry of the brigade followed behind Liu Wei's people, along the side of the inner Great Wall, and whipped away.

At the end of the army, there was a small group of scouts out of the ordinary, smiling and talking to each other, showing off some strange things on their horses, such as porcelain and iron, and one man even carrying a delicate cupboard on his back on a pack horse.

I didn't expect to meet a team of Han people on the road, and they also pushed the cart to transport their belongings, such a good thing, how could they let it go, the Mongolian scouts washed this team without alarming the brigade, killed decisively, grabbed clean, and acted neatly.

With this example, they are full of hope for the coming days, after all, the livelihood of the family this winter will be counting on the harvest of following the Great Khan into the customs this time.

Iron riding like a cloud, sweeping the land.

……

Dolgon knew nothing about what was happening at Fort Horn.

The Mongol soldiers he brought with him were mainly the men and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, as well as the tribal soldiers of the Horqin and Chahar tribes, and he was not at ease with the Khalkha tribe, which was not very tame. In addition, the direction of Shaanxi also needed to be guarded by the Mongols, so too many Mongol tribes were not recruited to take them with them.

And from common sense, the soldiers brought are enough to sweep the Shanhaiguan again, and in the past few years, Duoduo and Azig have conquered Li Zicheng, and the army they brought is not more than this time.

All of Dolgon's attention was on the Stone Ridge Pass in front of him.

A fat sheep is grilling on the fire, "Zizi" is bubbling with oil, and the aroma is fragrant, which can seduce the deepest hidden worms in people's stomachs.

It was already dark, and the nobles of Mongolia gathered together, sitting around, enjoying the dinner in the army.

It's just that the atmosphere is a little oppressive, and Dolgon holds a bowl of mare's milk wine to his lips, but he doesn't drink it, his eyes are focused on a foot in front of him, in a daze, as if there is something strange there.

In fact, it is just an ordinary piece of dirt land.

He didn't speak, no one dared to make a sound, everyone sat cross-legged on the carpet, exchanged glances with each other, communicated with gestures.

Half a sound, probably because he was tired of serving the bowl, Dolgon woke up and touched the bowl to his mouth, put it down casually, and glared at everyone.

People were in good spirits, quickly stopped their small movements, and straightened their waists.

Scanning around with his gaze, Dolgon supported his knees with his hands and said indifferently: "Let's talk about it, what is the battle damage today?" ”
