Chapter 16: Battle Exploits

Because the Mongolian cavalry could not be gathered together for a long time, they did not dare to disperse south, if a single tribe went south to plunder, it was directly an act of looking for death, and the Ming court was to use people to heap up, and they could also wipe out all the people of these small tribes. There has been no news of the Mongolian cavalry for more than 10 days, Zhang Yang suggested that a drill should be held, and by the way, take out 2 Mongolian heads and give them to Baihu as a gift, otherwise the Mongolian cavalry will not go south for a long time, and the young master will have no credit, and if there is no merit, the support of Baihu will definitely be reduced, and he must increase the pressure.

After thinking about it, Feng Youcai felt that Zhang Yang's words were very reasonable, if he didn't wait for his fort to be built, many people would be red-eyed, and there would definitely be people who wanted a piece of the pie, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves worrying, so he wanted to interrupt these people's careful thinking as soon as possible, so he agreed to Zhang Yang's arrangement.

On the morning of August 16, Zhang Yang had Xiayingzidun light a beacon fire to show the Mongol cavalry invasion and warn the south to prepare. Soon, Baofengdun saw that the lower Yingzidun lit the beacon fire, and also lit the beacon fire, and the Zhenguan pier behind also lit the beacon fire; Soon the news spread to 100 households. The leader of the hundred people was very satisfied with Feng Youcai's timely act of lighting the beacon fire this time. The swallow pier north of the North Great Wall and others observed that Baofeng Dun and others had lit the beacon fire, and they also lit the beacon fire in conformity.

No one doubted that this season was the peak season for the Mongol cavalry to move south, and it was normal for them to come now.

Seeing the beacon fire ignited in the north of Baofengdun, the people who were building were full of fear and chaos, but fortunately, there were 12 people in the guards, 13 soldiers were there, and other management personnel were there, under the orderly management, the chaos passed quickly, and all the people were organized into the fort, and the cavalry team was patrolling outside, preparing for a decisive battle with the incoming enemy, which also made many people feel a little relieved.

At noon, the people who went down to the camp came to deliver the news that the Mongol cavalry had retreated and everyone was safe; And brought back the heads of 2 Mongols, and everyone was relieved. In the afternoon, Feng Youcai went to Baihu to report the situation and gave the heads of two Mongols to Li Baihu.

Li Baihu was very interested in the heads of the Mongols sent by Feng Youcai, after all, he had been a hundred households for more than 20 years, and the heads of the Mongolian cavalry had really not been obtained a few times, although the Mongols plundered every year, but it was difficult to kill a Mongolian cavalry under the condition of passive defense. sighs that I still know how to use people, it's just a discerning eye. said to Feng Youcai very politely: "Mr. Feng, this time it is good, I will go to the Thousand Households to report tomorrow, and I will definitely ask for credit and reward for you." ”

"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment, this is all supported by the adult, we are also lucky, since the last accident, I have especially strengthened the intensity of observation, at least 2 people are observing at any time, to ensure that the enemy can be found when the enemy is far away, and make early warnings in time."

"Yes, I have a lot of ideas, I will grow wise."

"Yes, my lord, and we have also strengthened our bow and arrow training, this time it was the enemy's carelessness, and the pier was too close, so that our archers unexpectedly shot and killed 2, but unfortunately the others ran away; In addition, they just eliminated Xiayingzidun, and they must not have thought that we would arrange new people to serve in such a timely manner, so this time they were careless, and this is also the credit of adults; It's a pity that the two horses also ran back with the Mongol cavalry and were not captured. ”

"It's a pity, it's good to be able to shoot 2 of them, but I'll continue to work hard in the future."

"Yes, sir"

"However, my lord, these people are all squads of Mongolian cavalry, they should be here to explore the news, I feel that if they explore the good news, they are likely to go south in large numbers, after all, the autumn harvest will be over soon, and they will definitely not let go of this good opportunity."

"You're right, these are spies, you have to continue to strengthen your vigilance, and as soon as the Mongols move south, they will immediately set fire to warn."

"Yes, my lord, I will be on guard."

"Okay, you go back first, the task is very heavy during this time, you have to continue to work hard, I will go to the Thousand Households Office tomorrow to ask for credit for you."

"Yes, thank you, sir" Feng Youcai retired and left.

On August 22, another beacon fire warning was held, and this time three heads of the Mongol cavalry were sent to Li Baihu.

On August 28, another beacon warning was held, and this time six heads of the Mongol cavalry were sent to Li Baihu. And told him that the Mongolian cavalry who came was about 10 people, and it must be spies who came to explore the news, and the Mongols would definitely go south in large numbers, hoping to withdraw to the fort first, or if the main Mongolian cavalry force came, these beacon piers would definitely not be able to be saved.

3 timely warnings in a row, and 11 Mongolian cavalry heads were sent in a row, this is a great credit, I have been a hundred households for so long, and I have never seen so many Mongolian cavalry heads. How could it be that you could withdraw so easily? Then whoever goes to be on guard, who gives me war exploits, I must not let them come back.

"Feng Zongqi, we used to say that you would be in charge of the duties of these 3 piers, why do you want to retreat now when you are under a little pressure? You have withdrawn, what about the millions of civilians behind you? There must be someone on duty there, if you have any difficulties to mention, I will definitely solve them for you if I can help you. ”

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to continue to be on duty there, at least those people under my command are not satisfied with what the guard has done, they are on duty at the risk, and they have resigned from these few credits, and the guard has not expressed it, they are all dissatisfied, whether to do it or not to do it, then who will do it? Besides, these people are not like the people in our old guardhouse, they are all newly recruited, and I'm really afraid that they won't be well managed. ”

"Feng Zongqi, you can rest assured about this, I will go to the Qianhu Institute again tomorrow, one is to send the first level to you to ask for credit, and the other is to see if the credit of the last two times has been approved, this procedure is to be dealt with, is it in a hurry."

"Yes, thank you for your support, I will tell them what the adults said when I go back, so that they can perform their duties with peace of mind."

"Okay, go back and work hard, I'm very optimistic about you."

"Yes, my lord"

Feng Youcai is still very satisfied with his performance, at least he has achieved the effect he wants.

On August 29th, Li Baihu went to Pingyu Qianhu early in the morning, and took 6 Mongolian cavalry heads, ready to fight for some credit. Because the faces and hairstyles of the Han and Mongolian people are different, it is very easy to identify, and these heads have been stored in the system warehouse without any changes, and they are still lifelike, and after a while, they will report to Qianhu: "My lord, these are indeed Mongolian heads, and they will not be cut off for a long time." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, my lord, the villain can be completely sure that this is the head of the Mongols."

"Alright, you can step aside."

"Yes, my lord"

After waiting for the work to continue, Qianhu said: "Li Baihu, you have made a lot of contributions, the spies who have been attacking the Mongols continuously recently have achieved fruitful results." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment."

"You don't have to be polite, I will report to the guard station for your merits, and I won't bury your merits."

"This is all the result of the hard work of his subordinates, and it is also the result of the support of adults."

"However, it may take a while for this reward to be approved, and it will take time for thousands of households to report to the general army, and the general soldier will also file and inspect it with the military department."

"Yes, sir"

"Okay, you go back first, be a good errand, your benefits are indispensable."

"Yes, Lord Xie supports."

Feng Youcai doesn't care about these rewards, and now he is busy building a fort, how can he have time to think about these small issues.

However, Feng Youcai's bravery had already spread in the Thousand Households and the Guards.
