Everyone was instantly excited, and finally a prey appeared, and Li Yuanqing also narrowed his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after, a sentinel came back from the front to report that this team was rushing over from the fork in the front and west to the west of Liaoxi, and everyone couldn't help but be even more happy.

The speed of this team is not fast, everyone has horses.

Soon, they came to the front of Li Yuanqing.

In front of the procession, there are 7 or 8 strong men in leather armor to guard, in the middle, there is a carriage, pulled by two strong horses, because the road is not wide, there are no guards on both sides of the carriage, and behind, followed by more than 20 men, about 5 or 60 horses.

"Dog's day Tartar, what a good horse." Junko couldn't help but take a low sip.

Li Yuanqing glanced at him and motioned him not to make a sound.

Junko hurriedly closed her mouth.

At this time, Xu Heizi said in a low voice: "My lord, something seems to be wrong. I think the seven or eight people in front of me seem to be real slaves. ”

Li Yuanqing also discovered the abnormality, and the seven or eight people who walked in front were all men in their prime, with fierce expressions and fierce expressions.

They have broad shoulders, thick arms, and looped legs, and appear to be very large, and their legs are short and small, seemingly uncoordinated, but they are extremely coordinated, and their whole body is full of a sense of strength.

Especially the money rat braid behind their hats, which is oily and greasy, and I don't know how long it has not been washed.

And as the carriage drove over, there was a comparison of the soldiers of the Han army flag behind it, and this scene was even more obvious.

"My lord, there are at least fifteen or sixteen real slaves in this. Three white armors, five red armors, two leaders, and one generation. In this carriage, it is likely that there is a big man of the Tartars. ”

Xu Heizi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of excited light, and the cold that had been in the snow for a long time dissipated in an instant.

In the army of the Later Jin, the soldiers were mainly divided into three ranks, guards, infantry armor, and horse armor.

Ordinary Jurchen men, from the age of ten, have to take an exam every three years, mainly riding archery and martial arts, and if they pass, they can be promoted to guards.

Next is the step armor, then the vest.

Among the many vest soldiers, the more outstanding ones, also known as the red and white armour soldiers, are commonly known as the red armor soldiers and white armor soldiers, and the later Manchu Qing Dynasty's guards and forward battalions are based on these two.

Especially the white armor soldiers, that is, in the later generations are also famous, extremely elite, they can only obtain this honor by passing countless battles and killing the heads of countless enemies, even if Houjin is a Niu Lu 300 people, at most, there are only a dozen white armor, which can definitely be said to be the elite of the elite.

Above the vest soldiers, it is Bashiku, which can only be held by the winner of the white armor, and the Han people generally call it the leader.

Bashiku is the son of the generation, also known as the Bashiku, which is the Manchu Qing Xiao riding school in later generations.

Further up, it is Niu Lu Zhangjing, the head of a Niu Lu 300 soldiers, which is equivalent to a thousand households of the Ming army, or even higher.

Because of this era, no one in the post-Jin army dared to eat empty salaries......

At this time, looking at this crowd, Li Yuanqing's eyes also narrowed slightly, could this be the Houjin nobles who had just retreated from the battlefield in Liaoxi?

If the situation in the battlefield of Houjin in western Liaoning goes well, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But if this is a Houjin nobleman, it means that the war in Liaoxi has ......

Li Yuanqing felt a 'groan' in his heart, and his expression was a little gloomy in an instant.

The 130,000 Guangning Army, if he is killing chickens, it won't collapse so quickly, right?

"My lord, look, they went into the inn." Wang Hai was also a little excited and couldn't speak.

Li Yuanqing looked to the south, a white armor in front of the Houjin team, chattering to the post station, and soon, the tall wooden door of the post station opened, and several men in leather jackets nodded and greeted the group respectfully.

It wasn't until the last horse entered the post station and closed the gate that Li Yuanqing withdrew his gaze.

"Brother, we may have encountered a big fish this time. Ha ha. Junko was also full of excitement.

If you can kill a real slave nobleman, how much glory should this be?

is even more valuable than Mao Wenlong's capture of the Tong family, a relative of the Xinjueluo family in Zhenjiang.

After all, no matter how high the status of a foreign relative, he is also a Han person.

Since the rise of the Later Jin, the Ming Dynasty has never received the head of the Jurchen aristocracy.

Li Yuanqing's heart is also turbulent, what the hell, is it Mang Gurtai? He rushed back from the battlefield in western Liaoning ahead of schedule?

But after a moment, Li Yuanqing shook his head and gave up the idea.

The Tartar team just now, although it was under the banner of the red flag, but the flag did not have a gold edge, which was not the Houjin royal family.

Moreover, how could a big Baylor like Mang Gurtai give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in western Liaoning and return to govern the land halfway?

But even if it is not Mang Gurtai, there is no doubt that there can be this kind of formation and this scale, at least, the owner of this carriage must be a Houjin noble.

"My lord, let's do it. Dog's day, Tartar nobles. Ha ha. I'd like to see what he's capable of. Duan Xiliang was also a little excited.

Li Yuanqing shook his head, "They have already entered the post station, and tonight, they must be resting here." Don't be in a hurry, we must not act rashly. ”

At this time, it was not yet dark, and although there were more than 250 elite soldiers on Li Yuanqing's side, they all relied on the '11th Road'.

And then Jin's team, everyone has more horses, in case the grass startles the snake, it will be difficult to chase it.

Moreover, the combat power of the Tartars is fierce, these fifteen or sixteen real slaves are all elites, there are five red armors, three white armors, and two leaders and a generation, I am afraid that the combat power can be equivalent to a hundred people on Li Yuanqing's side, or even more.

They also have the help of the garrison of the post station itself, if they are rash, it is really hard to say who will kill the deer.

This is by no means Li Yuanqing's ambition to destroy his own prestige.

These soldiers under Li Yuanqing's command, although they are already elite soldiers, but the soldiers are not strong enough, the armor is not thick enough, most of them are peasants, become soldiers, less than a year, on martial arts, on cavalry and archery, how can they be compared with these Houjin soldiers who have grown up on horseback since childhood, burning and looting?

Duan Xiliang saw Li Yuanqing's solemn expression, and he didn't dare to be rash anymore, and respectfully retreated to Li Yuanqing's side.

Li Yuanqing quietly looked at the post station not far away, and his mind was spinning rapidly.

At this time, although there were not many Tartar soldiers, they were all elite, and everyone had horses, and it was obviously unwise to attack strongly, so they could only be outwitted.

At this time, the weather, coupled with the desolation around this station, Li Yuanqing still has enough time.

…………

Night was falling, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

Li Yuanqing tried it, and the snow next to him was almost half a palm deep, and it was already more than ten centimeters.

"My lord, it's almost over, let's do it. Rush into the inn and take them by surprise. "The great achievement is just around the corner, even Xu Heizi can't control his emotions anymore.

But Li Yuanqing still shook his head.

At this time, it was just dark, that is, at 6 o'clock, these Tartars should be eating, and it is absolutely unwise to rush in.

"There's no rush. Wait a little longer. Brother Xu ......" Li Yuanqing fell into Xu Heizi's ear and whispered in a low voice.

Xu Heizi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'll take someone to check it out immediately." ”

Time passed quietly, the night was getting deeper and deeper, and not far away, the lights in the post station had been extinguished a lot, but on several watchtowers, there were still fires flickering.

The heavy snow still showed no signs of stopping, Li Yuanqing had already come to the edge of the official road at this time, and tried it with his hands, the thickness of the snow layer could already submerge most of his palms, and he was afraid that it was already 20 centimeters thick.

With such a thickness of snow, even a war horse may not be able to run so neatly.

At this time, it was almost 11 o'clock, Xu Heizi carefully drilled from the woods on the edge of the official road to Li Yuanqing's side, "My lord, the outer fort walls of this post station are all rammed earth, and the houses inside, except for a few main houses, are made of rammed earth, and the others are all wooden. The stables are in the side yard, which is on this side of the official road. The hay pile should be on this side as well. The other three sides are all forests, and there is only one road, the official road. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Are the firewood ready?" ”

Xu Heizi was obviously excited, "My lord, it's all ready." It's just that there are dogs in this station, and we don't dare to approach them rashly, and they are all piled up a hundred steps away. ”

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity.

Although the Tartar nobles are very attractive, their war horses are also very attractive, and their weapons and armor are also very attractive, but the gap in strength, Li Yuanqing can only choose to forget about these for the time being, and focus on controlling the overall situation first.

In this kind of terrain, there is nothing more effective than a fire attack.

"Leave the dogs alone, tell the brethren that they will have a quarter of an hour to prepare, and after a quarter of an hour, they will be sent out on all sides."

"Yes."

The order was quickly passed on.

Li Yuanqing also took the headquarters, Shunzi and Duan Xiliang, more than 150 people, to the main gate of the post station facing the official road.

The scale of this post station is not small, covering an area of almost seven or eight acres, surrounded by rammed earth walls more than 3 meters high, with sharpened wooden tips inserted on it, and the scale is not much different from a small fort.

With Li Yuanqing's troops, if he wants to attack, I am afraid there will be only one ending.

But the surrounding forests, coupled with the heavy snow tonight, helped Li Yuanqing a lot.

A quarter of an hour came quickly, and to the east, Xu Heizi's side had already made a gesture.

Li Yuanqing did not hesitate at all, and ordered the Shunzi beside him in a low voice: "Do it." ”

In a moment, Junko's side ignited the firewood that had been prepared a long time ago, and he called out in a low voice, "Brothers, it's time to do it." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in throwing the ignited firewood stick into the post station.

The soldiers around him also followed suit, and threw the ignited firewood sticks into the post station.

At the same time, the other three sides are also the same action.

The surrounding forests are basically dominated by pine trees and cypresses, which are the most flammable and the best firewood for the people to spend the winter.

Igniting the dried leaves with flint and then lighting the firewood is no big deal and can be done quickly.

In a moment, burning sticks, like meteor showers, were frantically thrown into the post station from all directions.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the crazy sticks of firewood are like burning red rainbows, reflecting the world between white and red.

Soon, the Houjin defenders in the post station also reacted, "Enemy attack, enemy attack." Someone shouted desperately.

But Li Yuanqing had already prepared for an afternoon and a night, and the amount of firewood sticks was very sufficient, one could not ignite the inside, and the other would ignite sooner or later.

Especially on the side of the stables and hay piles, it is literally on fire.

The neighing of war horses and the shouting of human beings, the entire Houjin Post Station was full of chickens and dogs, and there was a chaotic situation.
