Chapter 280: Sacrificing Life for Righteousness
Yansui Town is also known as Yulin Town, and the General Military Office is stationed in Yulin City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a long journey of many days, Li Ling finally arrived at the foot of Yulin City with several thousand cavalry.
The Ming army in front of the city, seeing the huge cavalry, also thought it was the Tatar army, and hurriedly closed the city gate.
Li Ling explained in many ways that fortunately, the defenders on the city wall still knew Yang Ying, so they agreed to open the city gate, and Li Ling and the others entered Yulin City alone.
Zhang Yangnai, the chief soldier of Yulin Town, is Zhang Wu's father, he is an old subordinate of Uncle Yang Ying, and he is very enthusiastic after seeing a few people, especially Li Ling.
Her son has been chasing the eldest lady for many years but has not been able to open her heart, and Li Ling, this kid, has only been with Yang Ying for a few months, which makes her worry, and even disobeys her father's order to look for her fiancΓ© in the capital, which shows that Li Ling's methods are extraordinary.
"Uncle Zhang, I didn't say goodbye to the capital to look for Li Ling that day, I really had to do it as a last resort, I don't know if my father is still angry?" Yang Ying asked Zhang Yang embarrassedly.
At the beginning, her father asked Yang Ying to stay with the medical team to protect their safety, but she suddenly heard the news that Li Ling was going to marry Linglong, so she hurried to the capital.
She did disobey her father's orders, and her father was understandably angry.
"My eldest lady, it's too late for your father to feel sorry for you, how can he be angry with you? If it weren't for his busy affairs, he would also want to go to the capital! βγ
Yang Yingnai is the only woman in the Yang family, everyone has always loved her, how can she let others bully her? But now that Yang Ying and Li Ling look harmonious, I'm afraid that the misunderstanding between the two has been resolved.
"Li Tanhua is tired from afar, why don't you stay in our Yulin Town for two more days!" Li Ling will be the uncle of the Yang family in the future, and Zhang Zongbing naturally wants to be close to him.
Zhang Wu led a sentry to guard Hengshan City, and Liu Rui and the people of the field medical team also arrived in Hengshan County.
Recently, Tatar soldiers have frequently attacked Yulin City, and they have been unable to attack for a long time, so they vent their anger on the surrounding counties.
Hengshan County is in the west of Yulin, the distance between the two is not far, the county seat has been harassed by Tatar soldiers many times, Zhang Zongbing asked his son to lead troops to support, and on the other hand, the general's medical team was also sent over.
Since Liu Rui came to the northwest, she went to Yulin Town with Zhang Wu, and she also joined the medical escort team as she wished.
"Li Ling, you lead the army to stay in Yulin Town for two more days, and then we will go to Lanzhou after the Tatars are repulsed, okay?" Yang Ying pleaded with Li Ling.
Yulin Town is a strategic location, if it is lost, it will be of great importance, and Yang Ying also wants to help Uncle Zhang.
What she meant was that she would take Li Yanyu and a team of guards to leave first and go to Hengshan County in front to help Zhang Wu, so that she could return Liu Rui to get together for a few more days.
The brothers and sisters of the Liu family were abducted to the northwest by Zhang Wu, Yang Ying has always been with Liu Rui, she hasn't seen each other for so long, and she misses each other a little.
"Young Master Li, the main purpose of the Tatars is in Yulin Town, and for Hengshan County, it is only to attack and harass, I think it is better for the two girls to go to Hengshan County!"
Zhang Yang is the chief general of Yulin Town, he is the most familiar with the war, it is safer for the two girls to leave the main battlefield, and Li Ling will also be newly involved in the war.
Yulin Town had 60,000 garrisons, stationed in Yulin City and several nearby county seats.
There were 40,000 soldiers in Yulin City, and the Tatars dispatched only more than 20,000 people this time, so such a small number of soldiers was not enough to threaten Yulin City.
The Tatars were skilled in horsemanship, but they threw in thousands of horsemen at one time to charge, but they could not help Li Ling's army in the slightest.
Li Ling suddenly understood that this group of people must be just a feint, and their purpose was only to contain the troops of Yulin City and let the main army go to the nearby county town to rob.
If you want to grab something, you don't have to go to Yulin City.
Li Ling's face changed, and he thought of the two daughters Yang Ying and Li Yanyu who had just been sent away, as well as dozens of guards.
"Little Eight, the order is small, take our baggage, and move quickly towards Hengshan County!" Li Ling suddenly shivered, begging in his heart to hope that the two girls would not have anything to do.
"What a brave soldier, what a powerful military spirit!". Zhang Yang saw the Li family's combat method at the head of Yulin City, and he couldn't help but admire.
He had been a soldier in the West for many years, and he had never seen an army dare to resist the Tatar cavalry.
The way that the Li family's army used was to face the Tatar cavalry and hedge against these tiger and wolf divisions, and what was even more incredible was that they actually won.
The Tatar cavalry attacked several times and was overwhelmed by the Li army, and had to retreat as a last resort.
"My lord, it seems that Li Jiajun is leaving!". Seeing that the Li family army began to change the defensive form and flee to the west, these people were not happy, and they reported to the general soldier: "Eighty percent of Lord Li is scared, this is the area we are defending, they don't want to make more sacrifices here!" βγ
"Nonsense, Master Li is a fair and upright man, he has fought dozens of fierce battles with the Japanese at sea, where are you afraid?" Zhang Yang scolded sharply.
Zhang Zongbing was also a little bitter, the Tatars bit Yulin City fiercely, this war has not ended for more than ten days, and Li Ling took people away.
The Tatar soldiers opened a very long battle line this time, and they did not let go of Hengshan County, a small city with only a few hundred garrisons, and often had squads of more than 1,000 people come to attack the county seat.
Although the Tatar cavalry did not break through the county seat, the nearby villages and towns were devastated, and the villages here were all flat, and almost all the villages were looted.
When the villagers refused, they turned on the unarmed people, and if anyone dared to resist, the entire village would be slaughtered.
The casualties outside the city were far worse than those in the county seat.
Liu Rui couldn't bear it, and she often took a dozen military doctors to treat the villagers.
Yang Ying and Li Yanyu parted ways when they arrived in Hengshan County and met Liu Rui more than ten miles east of the county seat.
Yang Ying had to go into the county seat to help Zhang Wu with his defenses, while Li Yanyu stayed outside the city to help the medical team take care of the wounded.
Guojiaji is very close to the county seat, and many young men in the village have gone to the county seat to make a living, which also created great convenience for the Tatar soldiers, who did not have much effort to break through the small village, looted the things of the common people, and killed and injured countless villagers.
When Liu Rui brought the military doctors to treat the villagers, she met Yang Ying and Li Yanyu, but what she didn't expect was that Li Yanyu was willing to stay and help the military doctors.
During the days when she came to the northwest, she faced many wounded people every day, and her medical skills really improved rapidly.
Now Liu Rui can help the wounded independently.
"Sister Li, you can follow me as an assistant!". Liu Rui said to Li Yanyu with concern, she thought that the other party did not know medical skills, but she took pity on these wounded people and asked to come over to help.
When Li Yanyu followed the wounded to treat them, Liu Rui soon found that things were not what she thought, Li Yanyu quickly learned to bandage the wounds and was very skilled in prescribing pain relief to the wounded.
The prescription she prescribed was beyond Liu Rui's reach, and even the old doctors in the army praised it.
Liu Rui suddenly understood: "The eldest young master has excellent medical skills, these must have been handed over to you by him!" βγ
Li Yanyu hadn't answered yet, but several guards laughed: "You are wrong, the master of the group training is precious to the second lady, so she won't let her touch these!" βγ
This guard was originally from the Li family's salt farm, and he only wanted to joke with Liu Rui, but he regretted his words as soon as he said them.
At the beginning, Liu Rui was also very obsessed with the eldest young master, and later had to follow her brother to the northwest.
Isn't that a mess when he says that?
Liu Rui's face really darkened. Seeing Li Yanyu's sweet smile, I knew that she must have lived a very happy life, if she hadn't given up pursuing the eldest young master, would she be very happy now?
Li Yanyu didn't notice the change in Liu Rui's expression at all, she was slowly bandaging the wounds of the wounded, very focused and charming.
"Oh no! The Tatars have come back! βγ A shout from a villager broke the silence of the village.
The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, which was deafening, much more spectacular than the more than 4,000 people of the Li family's army.
Obviously, the Tatars who came this time were definitely not as simple as a few thousand.
These Tatars had come from the east but bypassed the city of Yulin, and their target was probably the city of Hengshan.
It's another vicious battle, how could hundreds of soldiers in Hengshan County resist it?
The cavalry slowly approached the village, but now the most dangerous thing was these military doctors, the village was unstoppable, and when the enemy came, they naturally saw them treating the sick at the entrance of the village.
"Pack up your things, everyone retreat with me!". Liu Rui immediately made a decision, she said to the guards who followed: "Hurry up and take Yanyu and the military doctors to leave, I will break the queen!" βγ
She died nothing, if she affected other military doctors and Li Yanyu, he would die a hundred times.
"Miss Liu, you leave with the second lady, and we will break off for you.
The battlefield is the destination of the soldiers, and there is absolutely no one in the Li family army who is afraid to fight.
When they pushed each other, the enemy army had already surrounded Guojia Village in an impenetrable way, and no one wanted to escape!
"Follow me!". Liu Rui pulled Li Yanyu and ran towards the village, and they found a haystack in an inconspicuous place in the village and hid it in it.
Liu Rui has only one idea now, and she must not let Li Yanyu suffer any harm.
The guards fought with the Tatar soldiers, and they all knew in their hearts that they would never be able to run in the face of tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers, but the longer they persisted, the more time they would buy the second lady.
Dozens of guards were all killed in battle, and even the military doctors were unwilling to submit to the Tatar soldiers, and they all chose to commit suicide.
After many years at the border, the military doctors were accustomed to the ferocity of the enemy, and they would never serve the Tatar soldiers.
Having wiped out all the resistance, hundreds of Tatar soldiers entered the village, and when they saw something, they looted and tied all the women to a rope.
If the men dare to resist, they will be killed.
The village is full of chickens and dogs, and there is a lot of killing everywhere.
A Tatar soldier gradually walked in front of the haystack, searching inch by inch.
He was getting closer and closer to Liu Rui's two daughters.
Li Yanyu hid in the grass and began to tremble, she regretted not following Yang Ying to Hengshan County at this time.
Liu Rui sighed, and she whispered in Li Yanyu's ear: "Take care of the eldest young master for me!" βγ
Liu Rui stood up violently and glanced at Li Yanyu, she ran out of the haystack.
At the height of the situation, she chose to sacrifice her life for righteousness.
A gust of incense blew, and the Tatar soldier's heart was overjoyed, and he chased Liu Rui away.
There were more and more Tatar soldiers chasing Liu Rui, and by the time she reached the entrance of the village, she had no choice but to escape.
If she was caught by this group of beast soldiers, the consequences were unimaginable, and she suddenly broke free from the pursuit of the enemy and crashed headlong into the stone mill at the head of the village.
The blood flowed, and Liu Rui lost consciousness instantly.
The Tatar soldiers shook their heads, pity for such a beautiful woman.
After packing up the valuable things in the village, the Tatars left the village.
When they reached the entrance of the village, the captured women resisted en masse, and they rushed at the Tatars in desperation to bite them.
The other party began to kill the women who resisted, and almost all of them were killed, and even those who were spared chose to bite their tongues and commit suicide.
Dozens of women all died under the butcher's knives of Tatar soldiers, and none of them survived.
Li Yanyu in the haystack stopped trembling, her eyes began to cloud, and she said to herself: "I want to protect others, not to be protected by others all the time, Sister Liu, don't worry, I will take care of Brother Li for you!" βγ
