"Enemy attack!"

"It's the Ming Army!"

"There are torches on all sides, I can't see how many people there are!"

When Channing was running fast in the ruined city, he heard Mongolian shouts in all directions. Although he followed the old firewood to make up for a while, he just spoke a few simple conversations, and he was dumb and confused in the past, and at this time there was shouting everywhere, and his level that was not even half a fool was not enough.

However, it was about the simplicity of his previous days that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and seeing that the corners of his mouth were still swollen, he desperately ran to Agoura's side, but no one thought to stop him. Many of the people who had just woken up from their sleep were scurrying around like headless flies, dodging stray arrows falling from the sky. After all, this place is already close to the Chahar Khan Court, and no one expected that the Ming army and horses would suddenly come out.

Channing swiftly shuttled through the crowd, and when he slipped in front of Agoura, he didn't care how the fire-free and red-faced butler glared at him angrily, and after dancing for a while, he suddenly reached out to extinguish the torch beside him. Agoura was originally even more annoyed, but when he thought about it again, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly shouted: "Put out the torch, extinguish the torch!" ”

At this time, more arrows fell around, and there were even one or two rockets faintly, which aroused bursts of exclamations. When they heard the sound of extinguishing their torches, many sergeants who were not yet awake hurriedly did so. Seeing the torches being hurriedly extinguished, the entire ruined sand city gradually fell into darkness.

On a small mound outside Shacheng, Xu Xun, who was standing side by side with Shenying, saw that it suddenly darkened not far away, and he was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "These Tartars are dizzy? What's the use of extinguishing a torch at this time? ”

"Isn't it a blessing to our army that they are dizzy! And just now, those scouts gently and skillfully pulled out the Tartar sentry, so that they were able to touch this place silently, which is really a thousand blessings! Shenying has led his troops to fight for many years, and he can't help but have a little superstition, and tonight he sees good signs everywhere, he only feels that his grasp has increased greatly, and he shouted to his henchmen and soldiers on the side: "Pass the order, the whole army is ready to assault!" ”

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden uproar from the side of Shacheng, followed by the lights that had just been extinguished, and the noise that followed became louder. A soldier beside Shenying who was proficient in Mongolian listened for a while, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "They are shouting that Agoura is dead, and Battle is dead!" ”

"Agora is dead? Battle is dead? ”

Xu Xun was chewing on the meaning of these two sentences, and the scarred face that came out with him this time immediately shouted in surprise and joy: "It must be Qian Ye who has won it!" He said before that he would go to Shacheng with Lao Firewood to find out the movement, and when we passed through Xinghe Ruined City, those people said that they didn't see him, and they must be that he is still there! ”

Shenying didn't think so, but in front of Xu Xun, he intended to sell face, and immediately smiled: "If it was really this Qian Ning who did it, he would really have made a great contribution this time......

"General God, please attack immediately while the enemy is in chaos, and then pass on the order, if someone claims to be the vanguard of the government army, let them take it!"

Although Xu Xun interrupted him, Shenying was in a good mood at this time, of course, he didn't care about these, and immediately gave a military order again. Therefore, this was a night battle, and Shen Ying and Xu Xun scattered the vanguard of the government army, the Guoyong battalion and Miao Kui's imperial horse prison army on the periphery to guard, but the main attack was the Xuanfu avant-garde under Zhang Jun, and more than 30 people selected from the defeated army of Wu Dahai. Previously, the two of them had hyped up the double calculation of the decapitation of these people, and the city was in chaos at this time, and these three or four hundred sergeants who originally thought that they were dead soldiers in night attacks naturally increased their confidence, and they were cavalry, but dismounted and foot combat was far better than riding and shooting. Suddenly, there were countless shouts of killing and the sound of blades clashing from within the ruined city of Shacheng.

For a whole night, although not all the soldiers and horses were invested, because the abandoned city of Shacheng had long been gone, the soldiers and horses of the vanguard were divided into several places, and they advanced separately according to the five-person squad, relying on passwords to identify friend and foe, and the progress was slow but there was good news all the time. Especially when they learned that Agoura, who was killed in the chaos, was the great butler of the Golros Tribe, and Battelle was also the one who really led the troops this time, Xu Xun and Shenying were even more overjoyed. By daybreak, more soldiers and horses began to enter the ruined city one after another, and the already scattered resistance in the city was quickly suppressed.

When the first rays of sunlight rose in the morning, the sand city had already changed owners. The soldiers and civilians of Xuanfu, who were originally strung with ropes, were replaced by tartars who were still arrogant a few days ago, and this kind of difference did not make many people who thought that they would never see the sky again lose their temper. Some people kowtowed to the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield in the city, some people punched and kicked the Tartars to vent their anger, and some people cried and laughed. As for the women who had been defiled by Agoura and the centurions, tens, and so on, they were huddled together, and there was not much joy on their faces for the rest of their lives, but more of a dazed and confused place.

After a fierce battle overnight, the tents in the city for Agoura, centurion and the centurion and the ten commanders had long been destroyed, and the corpses were everywhere in the sand city, Xu Xun had no intention of testing his restraint skills, so Suo only temporarily set up a camp outside. He sat on the floor after not sleeping all night, quite sleepy, but when he saw Qian Ning, who was covered in blood, strode in, he still couldn't help but stand up.

"Humble to your lordship!"

"Good, good! Qian Ning, this time you should be a miracle! ”

Since the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, the military department has been talking about the merits of the miraculous merits, the head merits, and the strength of the army, which originally referred to the merits built against Wara, which is of course because Wara was also the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty at that time. Now, although Warat is in decline, and Dayan Khan Batu Munk is in southern Mongolia, the rules for judging merit are still exactly the same as they were back then. The so-called miraculous feats refer to standing up and capturing the flag, which coincides with Qian Ning's exploits.

Qian Ning saw that Xu Xun really did not pursue him in the slightest about leaving the Wanquan Right Acropolis, and at the same time he was relieved and ecstatic at the same time, but he still knelt there on one knee and humbly bowed his head and said: "They are all cultivated by adults, and they dare not take credit for their humble duties!" ”

Although Shenying didn't take the lead last night, he also heard about the leaderless chaos of the captive dragons. Even so, the army still paid the price of seventy-six killed and more than a hundred lightly wounded. It can be seen from this that if it weren't for Channing's advance attack and the two leading figures of Agoura and Battle at once, even if the night attack was successful, the loss would be extraordinary. At this moment, Shenying looked at Qian Ning, and he suddenly asked: "Qian Ning, when the army covered up before, the sentry posts around this sand city did not react at all, and you pulled it out in advance?" ”

"Returning to the left general, after mixing in it a few days ago, he intended to make friends with them, and every time he sent some wine and meat, he began to add some sweat medicine to it. Because they were ripe, they thought that even if they woke up early in the morning, they would at most think that they were drunk. Speaking of this, Qian Ning paused for a moment, and then said, "The humble position is just to prepare, but the army really came down from the sky, so I was lucky enough to assassinate Agula and Battle, I don't want to really succeed, thanks to General Zuo and Lord Xu." ”

This guy is really good at all hands and mouths!

Seeing that Shenying heard these words with a full face, Xu Xun smiled slightly, and immediately ordered Qian Ning to get up. He called the person to him and asked a few more carefully, and learned that there were indeed no more than 300 people in this sand city before, so he took a deep breath and knew that this was just the beginning.

After a short time, Wu Dahai, whose head and eyebrows were all bare, entered the tent, he gave a military salute, and then said without raising his head: "General God, Lord Xu, the soldiers and civilians in the city have been counted, twenty-three people died in the battle last night, and more than 100 were injured, fortunately, they were all slightly injured, and the complete one is 921 people. ”

Although there are still casualties among the people, this is not a hostage rescue operation in the future, not to mention that there are often casualties in the rescue of hostages, and the current result is extremely ideal. As soon as Wu Dahai's words fell, someone signed up to see him, but it was Shenying's henchman. After he came in and saluted neatly, he said, "Two adults, the results of last night's battle have been counted. Because it was a night battle, there was no way to count the heads for a while, but I only knew that a total of more than 150 enemies were killed, and a total of 167 Tartars were captured, more than half of whom were wounded, what should I do next? ”

Although he had only captured more than a hundred people, Shenying was immediately moved, looked at Xu Xun and paced slowly, and whispered next to the person's shoulder: "Lord Xu, our Ming Dynasty has not been a prisoner for many years. ”

Xu Xun couldn't hear Shenying's meaning. However, compared to the next big game of chess, these dozens of people are just trivial, but he doesn't want to lose face to Shenying, so he turned his head and said, "It's okay, but the next more than 900 people will be sent back to the next side as soon as possible, and this road is not close." If you want to sacrifice prisoners, just pick the strong ones and take them back, and it is useless to keep the wounded, so it is better to kill them on the spot, so that it is more beneficial for the soldiers. ”

Regarding the four words of killing on the spot, Qian Ning seemed to be fine, Wu Dahai's face did not move at all, but Shenying and the heart of the first to report the matter showed a little surprise. Shenying thought that Xu Xun was young, and he couldn't help but make meritorious contributions, so this night attack happened. Compared with the decapitation of the soldiers, the sacrifice of prisoners is also a great achievement, but unexpectedly, this young young man would rather sacrifice fewer prisoners, but also throw away the burden and add a little sweetness to the soldiers. So, he nodded again and again, but he took the initiative to say: "In this case, let the government army avant-garde do it!" ”

"Thank you General Zuo for showing mercy to them, but the Guoyong Battalion didn't have much chance to go into battle last night, so why don't you let them do it together."

Seeing that Shenying readily agreed to this meritorious move, and said with a smile that he would go over there and look down, so as not to cause big trouble in good things, Xu Xun nodded. After Shenying left, he instructed Wu Dahai: "Look at the situation of the people who were kidnapped before, and then search how much dry food and drinking water are left in the Tartars, so that they can eat and drink as soon as possible!" ”

Wu Dahai repeated this, and was about to withdraw, when he suddenly glanced at Qian Ning, and then said in a low voice: "My lord, there is an old man outside who said that he was a guide invited by Qian Qianhu, and he brought a woman with him......"
