Chapter 397: Encroachment step by step

"Phew!"

The splattered blood beads will always stay in the air for a moment before falling, reflected in the blue sky and snow, like a blooming demon flower.

Ten Xun Qi disciples tightly guarded Zhu Qiming's flanks, and the sword in Zhu Qiming's hand seemed to condense the deep hatred of several generations, every time he shot, the speed was so fast that his eyes could not reach, and the pleasant sound of the sword moan urged people to fall asleep, but the extremely beautiful sword flowers did not bring people into the fairyland, but let the souls of those who stood in the way return to the west sky.

Fear is the noose that suffocates combat power!

Battle-hardened Tartars are accustomed to being fearless, and that's because they've never faced a tougher opponent than them, and at this moment, in the face of the terrifying King of Ming Yue, even the fierce captives can't help but be afraid. But seeing the two Tartar thieves stunned and trembling, the combat power of the other survivors was also greatly reduced in panic, and it seemed that they only had their lives left to kill.

However, there are exceptions! The bloody Zhang Yu raised his knife and pounced on a tartar thief who was like a stone pier, but the thief's strength was amazing, and with a flip of his wrist, the scimitar blocked it obliquely, holding the long knife that roared towards him. The weapons of the two sides were glued together, and Zhang Yu seemed to be difficult to put away his knife for a while, even if he was not in danger of his life, he gradually fell behind.

Over there, Zhao Guotai remembered Zhu Qiming's instructions, so he rode his horse and ran to the captive people, "King Daming Yue is here, you are about to be rescued, each squatting on the ground, don't move!" ”

The poor women were stunned for a long time, and when they finally figured out what was going on, they couldn't help but cry.

The mournful cry alarmed Jing Yunfei beside Zhu Qiming, Jing Yunfei grinned, held a spear, gritted his teeth and ran to Zhang Yu's side.

"Phew!"

The Tartar thief who was entangled with Zhang Yu couldn't dodge, and his neck was instantly pierced by the spear, but as soon as he saw the spear retracted, the Tartar thief spurted a mouthful of blood, tilted his head and fell under the horse.

"Kill!"

The two hundred guards launched a final charge against the remnants of the enemy, and their momentum was as fierce as the wind and clouds. Three hundred Tartar thieves were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

The crying suddenly stopped, and many innocent people saw it clearly, and realized that the wolf-like Tartar thieves turned out to be just a group of sheep, and the guards under King Yue were the real tiger and wolf army!

The captives wanted to kneel on the ground to thank him, but suddenly heard the sound of rapid hooves behind him, and when he looked back and saw that the people who came were dressed in the clothes of the Ming army, he consciously gave way to make a way.

More than ten horsemen and horses galloped over, and the first one was Wang Lie.

Wang Lie reined in his horse with an excited look on his face, "Hey, hey······ As His Highness expected, the number of Tartars behind His Highness was not large, hey, I didn't expect that there were only more than a thousand people! Our two groups of men and horses jointly attacked, and the Tartar thieves were caught off guard and have been completely annihilated. ”

Zhu Qiming looked solemn, "You send a hundred guards to send these people to Datong Mansion, and let the local government distribute dumplings to these people, and each of them will be sent home." After the captives have gone away, you and Niu San will lead the men and horses into the canyon to stand by. After pondering for a moment, he continued: "That's it, send the Buddha to the western sky, and now there is chaos in the north, and the troubled times are more troublesome than bandits!" Let the officials of Datong Prefecture ask the place of origin of the captive people, and order a hundred guards to send them back to their respective prefectures and counties, and hand them over directly to the state and county governors in the name of this king. Well, let the state and county magistrates issue a note! ”

"Yes!"

At present, the military situation is urgent, and the war is changing rapidly, so Wang Lie did not dare to delay, and immediately called on the captives to set off on the road immediately.

Wang Lie took the lead in riding south, and more than a dozen guards stayed behind, beckoning the captives to embark on the return journey. Zhu Qiming was still on horseback, waiting for the news of the battle at the northern end.

"Report!"

With the sound of hurried hooves, a fast horse galloped over, "Your Highness, my three men and horses have worked together to annihilate two thousand Tartar thieves. It's just that, according to the report from the sentinel, he may have noticed the movement here, and sent 5,000 elites as the vanguard to gallop back to help, which is about five miles away from General Xu's location at this moment. ”

Zhu Qiming glanced back a little anxiously and saw that those people had marched to the bend.

"You don't have to go back and give orders, wait, this king will be the banner of the order!"

······

Three thousand soldiers stood in the middle of the road. Looking at the corpses of Tartar thieves all over the ground, Xu Gong felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

His 5,000 subordinates changed their horses, changed their weapons, and changed their outfits according to the standard configuration of the Yuefu guards, but this was just the appearance, the changes of the 5,000 men and horses were far more than that, and they seemed to have changed their souls.

After more than a month of joint training with the Yuefu guards, these 5,000 people were like being reborn, and when they raided the Tartar thieves, their bravery was not much better than that of the Yuefu guards.

"If they all lead troops like His Royal Highness King Yue, our Ming army will be invincible in the world!" Xu Gong smiled at Tang Ji on the side.

Tang Ji's face was a little anxious, and he raised his eyes from time to time to look at the flag soldiers on the high slope, but he forgot to respond to Xu Gong.

Fang Cai reported that he had already led the army back and sent 5,000 men and horses to rush here. The military situation was urgent, but Kuaima did not come to convey Zhu Qiming's order, and the flag soldiers could not receive the flags from the high ground on the south side, which made him a little unbreathable.

Tang Ji is not worried about outnumbering the crowd, even if he has a bloody battle with five thousand Tartar thieves, what is there to fear! He was anxious at the moment, just because he didn't know how to engage in the battle next. Zhu Qiming made careful calculations and deployments for this battle, so all people from all walks of life had to act according to the plan.

Tang Ji was in a hurry and useless, so he turned his head and smiled at Xu Gong back, "General Xu, don't you know, leading troops like His Royal Highness King Yue will cost a lot of money, how easy it is to talk about it!" However, His Highness will not only lead troops, but also be strategic. If our Ming army always deals with it passively, it will definitely be the side that suffers a big loss, even if it is lucky to win in defense, it will be a miserable victory, and the price paid will not be lighter than that of the prisoners. His Royal Highness is different, His Royal Highness always strikes preemptively and attacks him unprepared, so it must be the Tartar who suffers a big loss! ”

Xu Gong nodded, "That's true!" Exquisite strategy can always make one's own side benefit and the other party suffer, otherwise, the so-called strategy will become a fig leaf. As in the past, the court of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China decided that suffering a loss was a blessing······ Alas! The rest of the words were replaced by a sigh.

Suddenly hearing the sound of hooves on the north side, Xu Gong and Tang Ji glanced at each other with stern expressions, and then ordered his subordinates to set up a position and prepare to face the five thousand Tartar thieves.

The smell of gunpowder wafted through the air, and the surrounding land was enveloped in tension.

Suddenly, Shi Feng rode his horse over, "General Xu, Commander Tang, Your Highness issued a banner, ordering us to return to the camp and introduce five thousand Tartar thieves into the canyon!" ”

Xu Gong frowned slightly, "It seems that the captive people on the south side are still evacuating, we should not let five thousand Tartar thieves over, the scheduled ambush location has changed." Without further ado, we need to act quickly! ”

After some discussion, Tang Ji led the crowd to retreat first, Xu Gong responded in the center, and Shi Feng led the army to break off. When Tang Ji and Xu Gong each led a thousand men and horses into the valley one after another, the 1,000 guards left behind could clearly see the faces of the Tartar thieves in front of them.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A rain of arrows fell, and the Tartar was delayed for a moment.

"Retreat!" Shi Feng said loudly.
