Chapter 14: The Bloody Butcher

Xiao Yi and the others climbed over a hill in front of them, passed through the jungle when they came, and finally returned to Da'ankou, the pass they escaped from three days ago, at this time, from a distance, this pass is still majestic, the side wall is more than ten miles long, but it has lost the tenacity of the famous general Xu Da when he built it, maybe it is the same as the huge empire of the Ming Dynasty, it is old.

Da'ankou, this border pass was originally built by the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guogong Xu Da, for more than 300 years, after generations of guards and general soldiers of the garrison and governance repair, it does not know how many foreign iron hooves have been blocked into the footsteps of the Central Plains, shattered how many foreign races into the Central Plains dream. But now, under the iron riding of the Jurchens, it is like a sheep that has lost its protection, vulnerable to attack.

Xiao Yi and the others looked at the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but be angry, there were countless horseshoe prints outside Da'ankou, and there were countless corpses lying in the broken gap, most of these corpses were people's husbands, and many of them were border soldiers who didn't have time to flee with Liu Ce, and of course there were also border soldiers who were unwilling to run away and fight to the death with the Tartars, but there were very few such people, and it was just a drop in the bucket.

Outside the pass, the blood flowed into a river, the Tartars broke the pass and did not stop, before leaving, a fire was set in the pass, this sky-high fire is definitely the largest fire that Xiao Yi has seen in his life, because Daankou is connected with a lot of trees, even the surrounding forests are burning, and the fire is burning more and more. Da'ankou, the pass that has stood on the side wall of the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years, was burned down along with its past glory.

A few people rode slowly into the gap, and as they met on the way here, as long as the place where the Houjin Iron Horse passed, they were all in ruins, whether it was officers and soldiers or ordinary people, none of them survived.

Especially this place, it was the place where the people fought for porridge and rice at that time, and the people of Hou Jin Tie rode suddenly, and the people didn't have time to react, and they made a mess, and Hou Jin Tie rode under the leadership of Hao Ge to rush in and cut people when they saw them, and smashed them when they saw things, and more than 1,000 people and officers and soldiers who had no time to escape became ghosts under the knife, but Hou Jin had no casualties, which was a one-sided massacre.

"These days to kill the Tartars, let's hurry up and join the army to kill the Tartars!" Shi Gang looked at the corpses all around, especially this one, the horses almost stepped over the corpses, because there was no place where the corpses of the Ming people were not lying down. Looking at the grief-stricken crowd, Xiao Yi nodded: "We will let these Tartars come back." ”

So, Xiao Yi and the others accelerated through this Daankou, which made them feel depressed, and galloped in the direction of Zunhua City. Xiao also wants to see what the extremely tragic battle of Zunhua in history is, and the general soldier Zhao Shujiao, Xiao Yi also wants to get to know.

However, Da'ankou is far away from Zunhua, Xiao Yi and they rode over for at least half a day, and they had to pass through the Kuanhe Institute, where I don't know if they were captured by the Tartars, Xiao Yi and they just came here non-stop after a night of fighting, at this time they were hungry and tired, so a few people found a grass to put their horses, took out the dry food and food that Liu Si gave them and ate, a few people didn't dare to sleep here, who knows if there are still people with Houjin around, and a few people who jumped out casually are not what Xiao Yi and their state can deal with now, After a few people only rested for a while, they turned over again and went straight to the Kuanhe Station.

Xiao Yi and the others looked at another deserted village and got used to it. This was the third village that Xiao Yi and they passed through before they hit the road in an hour, and without exception, they were all deserted.

Wang Dayong looked at the empty village and said helplessly: "This way, we have passed more than ten places in Tunpu and Huolupier, and this is the third village. Huang Yang wondered: "Yes, where have the people gone?" Haven't seen anyone for dozens of miles? Shi Gang said: "It's not those Tartars who scared the people away, and the officers and soldiers are incompetent. ”

Xiao Yi sighed and said, "Let's continue to walk and get out of here." The men continued to drive their horses forward.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers went south from Da'ankou, led the sect to command 4,000 troops to help, and arrived in Zunhua in November, and the Houjin Bel Azig led tens of thousands of cavalry to ambush here, and led the Jiao and the Houjin soldiers to fight in Zunhua. I don't know if I can catch up with the battle of Zunhua, thinking of this battle, Zhao led 4,000 cavalry to fight to the death King Qin and tens of thousands of Haoge iron cavalry in Zunhua, and finally Zhao led the whole staff of the sect to die. Xiao Yi sighed and hurried forward.

I don't know how long they have been advancing, Xiao Yi and a few people suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in front of them, and hurriedly climbed a small slope to observe, but saw that there were more than a dozen Ming officers and soldiers in mandarin duck robes and Tartars slashing and killing each other, and Xiao Yi They saw in Da'ankou Liu Ce's officers and soldiers are different, although these officers and soldiers are also very tattered, and the tiger knife in their hands is also curled with blades, but they are not afraid, one person and one horse, more than a dozen people can be killed with five or six well-equipped Mongolian cavalry with one person and two horses.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry was not as good as that of the Houjin cavalry, it often chased and fought thousands of officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty with hundreds of people.

Xiao Yi knew that when he arrived at the place, there would be no one here who could train such a unit except for the officers and soldiers under Zhao Shujiao, Shi Gang shouted: "Niang Xipi, go on, kill the Tartars!" Then he rushed out first, and Xiao Yi and the others also rushed forward with a loud shout.

Xiao Yi and their arrival originally lifted the spirits of the officers and soldiers who were about to be unable to support it, and the Mongolian Tartars looked at the men and horses who rushed out of nowhere in surprise, they were actually one person and one horse, holding a knife as hard as their scimitar in their hands, and wearing chain mail, the Tartars suddenly understood something, and rushed towards Xiao Yi and the others with a loud roar.

Shi Gang took the lead in rushing to the Tartar who was killing an officer and soldier who was about to be defeated in a series of retreats, and slashed at the back of the Tartar's head is a knife, only to see that the Tartar leather helmet was instantly split by Shi Gang, while the Tartar had not yet reacted, the officer and soldier also took the saber with the curly blade to stab the Tartar's lower abdomen with all his might, and this Mongolian Tartar who had just been invincible was killed by Shi Gang and an officer and soldier.

Shi Gang sprayed blood all over his body, but laughed and said, "Good job! And then this knife! Saying that, Shi Gang threw the scimitar used by the tartar to the officer and soldier, and the officer and soldier hugged his fist and said: "Shi Lu has thanked him for saving his life here!" Shi Gang smiled: "No thanks, kill the Tartars with me!" That Shi Lu also laughed when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Yi and the others in the fight, "I, Shi Lu, can kill the Tartars with you today, even if I die, it's worth it!" ”

Xiao Yi dodged the Tartar's knife and turned around and said, "We can't die, we won't die if we don't kill all the Tartars!" Shi Lu Wenyan glanced at Xiao Yi deeply, shouted hello, turned his head and continued to fight with Tartar.

"Xiao Yi be careful!" Hearing this shout, Xiao Yi immediately turned around and saw that a Mongolian Tartar's scimitar was almost veneered, and in such a short time, Xiao Yi didn't even have time to raise his knife to block, so he could only watch the Tartar's scimitar get closer and closer to him, and the blade of the scimitar was getting bigger and bigger in his pupils!

At this moment, everyone was far away or close to Xiao Yi, and they didn't have time to react, but Liu Tong, who was fighting intuitively, actually slashed towards the Tartar, because everyone thought that Liu Tong was useless with a sharp knife, so he gave him a blunt knife that he used in the past, Liu Tong took a blunt knife and just split the Tartar offensively, and the Tartar, who had not received any substantial damage, turned around and pointed the spearhead at Liu Tong, the Tartar's ferocious eyes frightened Liu Tong into falling under the horse and running backwards, but how could he outrun the Mongolian Tartar with two horses, Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, a tiger spear was suddenly inserted behind the Tartar, and the blood dripping from the cold and shining tip of the tiger spear announced the death of the Tartar. Tartar wanted to know who had killed him, and wanted to look back hard, but he could never do it.

But Shi Gang, who had always looked down on Liu Tong, saw that Liu Tong was about to be killed by the Tartar and threw his tiger gun vigorously, grabbed Liu Tong's horse, and pulled out the tiger gun in the Tartar's body. Shi Gang led the horse to Liu Tong, who was sitting on the ground panting, put down the reins, threw down the steel tiger gun, and said lightly: "Liu Tong, your horse, your gun!" ”

Liu Tong glanced at Shi Gang, picked up the reins and the stainless steel tiger gun on the ground, turned over on the horse, and stroked the tiger gun with both hands, not knowing what he was thinking.

When another Tartar was slashed by Xiao Yi under the horse, the remaining two Mongolian Tartars galloped away in panic. Xiao also didn't plan to chase because he couldn't catch up at all. The horses of the Mongols were different from those of the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty, and the Later Jin mounts, like their warriors, were heavy horses. Mongolia is a light horse, and the Mongolians who are equipped with two light horses, not to mention Xiao Yi and them, even the Houjin Iron Cavalry can't catch up. The Mongols were not as fearless as the Jurchens, and their hearts would be shaken by fierce resistance, and they would collapse if they suffered heavy casualties.

Xiao Yicai noticed that there were only eight people left in the field, including Xiao Yi and Shi Lu, Xiao Yi walked up to Shi Lu and asked, "Brother Shi Lu, where are you from, but under the command of General Zhao!" ”

Shi Lu's answer was beyond Xiao Yi's expectations, and he only listened to Shi Lu: "We escaped from Longjing Pass, at first we had more than 50 people, and then we met several Mongolian Tatars, and now only I and Jin Qi are left." As he spoke, Shi Lu looked at the corpse on the ground and his expression lowered.

Xiao Yi noticed that almost all of the dozen or so people who came over were killed by the Mongol Tatars, and they all died here, although they all fought bravely and no one escaped, but the equipment gap was too large, and their weapons were difficult to damage the Tartars wearing leather armor, and their horses could not be compared with the horses of the Mongolian cavalry, which were known for their agility and speed, most of them were tortured and killed. Only the two Tartars killed were Shi Gang who took advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack, and Xiao Yi and Wang Dayong fought together for a long time before killing the other one. But the remaining two Mongolian Tatars who escaped, Xiao Yi and they really didn't have the experience to chase anymore.

Xiao Yidao: "Brother Shi Lu, they are all good, much better than those officers and soldiers who fled without a fight, if the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were like you, they would not be beaten so badly by the Tartars." At this point, Shi Lu asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Xiao Yidao: "We are going to Zunhua to find General Zhao Shujiao!" Shi Luyan's eyes lit up and said, "It just so happens that we have nowhere to go, I have heard that General Zhao is brave and loyal, and he is the first general under Inspector Yuan, why don't we go together?" ”

Xiao Yi was also very surprised when he heard this, and immediately said, "Okay, let's go together!" Behind him, Shi Gang laughed, gave Jin Qi a punch and said, "It seems that we can kill the Tartars together in the future!" The golden atmosphere urn smiled angrily: "Yes, where Brother Shi goes, I will go to the golden atmosphere." ”

Everyone buried the bodies of their brothers who died in battle, ordered the remaining horses, each left two horses, Jin Qi and Shi Lu also changed into the leather armor of the Mongolian Tartar, and picked up the scimitar of the Mongolian Tartar, although it was not easy to use, it was much stronger than his own saber with a curled blade. Without resting, several people set foot on the road to Zunhua again.
