Chapter 57: Murder

It may be that the landing site chosen by the special forces battalion is relatively remote, and the Jimo battalion has walked in a search formation for nearly half an hour, not to mention the Tartars, not even a lonely ghost has been encountered, only the neat footsteps on the grass make a rustling sound, on a hill in front, the leading special forces battalion has drawn out the blade behind its back, and began to clean up the dense thorns and weeds, along the way, you can also see collapsed earthen houses, abandoned wells, everyone silently walked through these ruins, On the one hand, I imagined in my heart what kind of Shura hell the Han people who had lived here had encountered.

The guards led a horse to lead the way in front, and the others were holding weapons and looking around vigilantly, surrounding Yang Bo in the middle.

Yang Bo's originally good interest was ruined by Xiao Se along the way, and he lowered his head and didn't say a word, just thinking about his thoughts.

As long as there are Tartars, the Han people are almost imperfect, such as Liaonan, Jinzhou, Tieshan, and later Yangzhou Shiyue, Jiading Santu, Tartars almost killed the Han people in these places before generously announcing the "sealing of the knife".

Thoughtful, bloody Han loyal and brave people were almost killed, leaving behind some obedient clothed slaves, later generations have lamented that the low quality of the Chinese people is due to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Yang Bo does not know whether the quality of the Chinese can be counted on the Tartar account, but he knows that the backwardness of the East began in this period.

Yang Bo doesn't like to read history books, which are probably the victory declarations of the new generation of emperors and the reckoning of the previous generation of emperors, and that's it, but the Tartars are even more masters of this way, they not only kill people, but also punish the heart......

All the Han people who have a little bit of integrity, a little thought, and a little bit of courage to resist were all culled, no matter how absurd the official history of the dynasties is, some clues can always be found in the wild history to restore the historical truth, and after the Tartars came to power, they set off a large-scale literary prison, the cruelty of punishment, the ferocity of killing, and the depth and breadth of poison, all of which are unprecedented, under this heavy iron curtain, only slave surnames and braids remain, until Yang Bo's era, there are still minions with "cultural masters" who continue to advocate the so-called Kangqian prosperous era, the last ray of glory before the fall of this barbaric empire.

"Zhixian, what are you thinking?" Shang Kexi saw that Yang Bo was silent for a long time and asked

"Well, Yuanji, I have a matter of hesitation, and it is difficult to make a decision in my heart, but I can't announce it to the public, so I have been depressed" Yang Bo sighed and looked at Shang Kexi, and said slowly.

Shang Kexi saw Yang Bo's sad face, and asked with some curiosity: "Zhixian might as well talk about it, although Yuanji is reckless, maybe he can help Zhixian solve his doubts?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head, pondered for a moment, leaned into Shang Kexi's ear as if he had made up his mind, and said softly: "In this case, you might as well ask Yuanji to help me think of an idea, this word comes out of my mouth, into Yuanji's ear, and no third person knows, Yuanjixiu wants to mistake me"

Shang Ke was happy to see that Yang Bo said very carefully, and he had the heart to ask Yang Bo to solve his problems, so he patted his chest and replied: "Just say it."

Yang Bo took two steps back, glanced at Xiao Wu, Shang Kexi looked at Yang Bo inexplicably, he suddenly reacted, his hand had just grabbed the handle of the knife, and there were already five or six snow-bright knives on his neck!

"Why is that?" Shang Kexi asked in a trembling voice, but he suddenly realized in his heart, I was afraid that when he got off the boat, he heard something that he shouldn't have heard, this Yang Bo was about to kill people!

Xiao Wu stepped forward and stepped down Shang Kexi's saber and kicked it on his ankle, Shang Kexi was unstable and knelt down on one knee, and several sharp knives were still tightly on his neck.

"Zhixian, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, right? I have no grievances with Zhixian, but why did Zhixian kill me? Shang Kexi asked dryly, but his heart was dead.

Yang Bo walked to Shang Kexi with his hands behind his back and looked at him carefully, Shang Kexi was furious by him, and said in a loud voice: "Zhixian, Zhixian, Zhixian misunderstood me, I have nothing to do with Zhixian?" ”

"As I said just now, there is a matter that is difficult to conclude for me to help me refer to it" Yang Bo stood up straight and said slowly: "Now, please ask Yuanji to help Zhixian get an idea!" ”

Shang Kexi hurriedly nodded and said: "You say it, you can say it, as long as Yuan Ji knows, he will definitely know everything." ”

"Yuanji, recently I suddenly discovered that there is no place for me Yang Bo in this big world, except for one place to ......" Yang Bo leaned over to Shang Kexi's blue face and said softly: "I want to cast Tartar!" ”

"What?" Shang Kexi was like five thunderbolts, looking at Yang Bo in surprise, and Yang Bo was also staring at him coldly.

"What grievances have you suffered?" Shang Ke stammered and said: "If you know what grievances you have suffered, old brother, old brother may be able to help, where the world is so big that you can't go, why do you want to, you have to ......"

"The court is unfair," Yang Bo interrupted

"Injustice?" Shang Ke repeated a sentence happily.

"Not bad"

Yang Bo nodded, "Lao Tzu doesn't give Daming his life, today is the best opportunity!" ”

Shang Kexi quickly calculated in his mind, the Jimo Battalion wanted to surrender to the Tartar as early as when he was guarding Lushun, there was no reason to wait until now? Thinking of Yang Bo's vicious words when he got off the boat, Shang Kexi suddenly realized, "Zhixian, could it be that eunuch who forced you?" ”

Yang Bo didn't answer, just kept silent......

Shang Kexi looked left and right at the blades on his neck, suddenly straightened up and said with a sneer: "It turns out that Zhixian has long had the heart to cast into the Tartar, since this is the case, what else is there to say?" ”

A few soldiers walked past them, as if they didn't see what was happening, and walked straight over.

"I heard that the various departments of the Dongjiang River have a lot of complaints about the imperial court, why didn't Yuan Ji join me to vote for Huang Taiji, and then he would be a good wife and a son, Yuan Ji can know that Kong Youde Geng Zhongming? The two of them are not as good as pigs and dogs in Dengzhou, so what about now? Brought his own soldiers and horses, was named the Han Banner Army, added officials to the knighthood, and those Baylors were in the same hall as officials, and Huang Taiji was called brothers. Yang Bowen persuaded.

Shang Kexi sneered and hung his head silently.

"Yuanji, even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about those soldiers who follow you? You see, they don't even have enough to eat......"

"Shut up! Dog thief, now you will kill and kill, if you want to kill it, if you want Shang Kexi to throw tartar, you can't" Shang Kexi stalked his neck and scolded loudly.

"I heard that there are still more than a dozen members of the Shang family living outside the Guan, Yuan Ji and I have voted for Huang Taiji today, won't we be able to reunite with the separated clansmen?" Yang Bo patiently followed the good path.

"My family is full of loyalty, if I vote for the Tartars, what face will I have to see them after death? The traitor doesn't need to say much, just give me a good time! only sighs that Shangmou has no eyes, and once regarded you as a close friend, ridiculous and ridiculous! Shang Kexi continued to scold.

"In that case, I'll send Yuanji on the road" Yang Bo glanced at Xiao Wu, who came up and dragged Shang Kexi, pushed and walked towards the barren grass.

"It's too late for Yuan Ji to regret it now, otherwise the head will fall to the ground in a while, and Da Luo Jinxian will not be saved" Yang Bo said slowly towards Shang Kexi's back, Shang Kexi staggered behind a few guards, but did not look back.

Yang Bo rubbed his hands, a little inexplicable, Shang Kexi should have turned around and cried bitterly at this time, and was willing to join him in the Tartar? At that time, he slaughtered this Tartar with one sword, and turned around to report that Shang Kexi died in Jinzhou City, but he didn't expect Shang Kexi to get such a show for him, Yang Bo was really a little hesitant now.

After a long time, it was still quiet in the barren grass, but I heard Shang Kexi scolding: "If you want to do it, hurry up, what is my mother-in-law doing?" ”

Yang Bo sighed, stood up and walked towards the barren grass, since Shang Kexi's life should not be extinguished here, then it depends on his future performance, right?

"What, Zhixian is tempting me?" Shang Kexi glared at Yang Bo, his face full of anger at choosing people to devour.

Yang Bo laughed and wanted to pat Shang Kexi's shoulder, but was thrown away by Shang Kexi: "If you don't make it clear today, Shang will definitely give up if you don't do well!" Just wait and hear it."

Yang Bo smiled: "Yuan Ji doesn't have to blame me, it's all the idea of the prison master." ”

"What?" Shang Kexi was stunned.

"The Lord of the Prison Army loves your talent, has the heart to promote you, and is ready to transfer you to the deputy general of Miaodao and Huangcheng Island, but the Lord has never liked the Liao people, he often says that the shaved Liao people are capricious and cannot be trusted, so he made this decision to test whether Yuanji is loyal or annihilated" Yang Bo hurriedly put the responsibility on Zong Yuanfang, anyway, he was not afraid of Shang Kexi to ask.

"Your Excellency is really cautious," Shang Ke said with a smile.

At this moment, two partridge calls sounded in front, one long and one short, Xiao Wu raised his hand backwards, signaling the people behind him to squat down, and after a while, a sentry with a grass ring on his head reported that he had found several Mongolian Tartar sentry riders in front.

"My lord, those Tartars are about a team of more than ten horses, Lord He has already sent someone to prepare to touch them, but I don't dare to guarantee that I will run away from a few, and the special order is small to report to the adult."

Yang Bo pondered for a moment and said, "How far is this place from Jinzhou City?" ”

The sentry replied, "Less than three miles." ”

Bo could already see the majestic figure of Jinzhou City with a clairvoyant mirror, and now he heard it for less than three miles, so he ordered: "Do it!" ”

After a while, there was a slight sound of blades clashing in front of him, screams, and neighing horses, and finally gradually became inaudible, He Jiu came over with a knife in his mouth and a bow and crossbow in his back.

"My lord, I killed a few sentinels, but I still escaped a Tartar."

He Jiu said a little frustratedly: "These Mongolian Tartar riding skills are really exquisite, we sneaked to the side to prepare to close the circle, I didn't expect that Tartar was very clever, jumped on the horse and rushed, the two sergeants chased a few steps, but I didn't expect to be shot in the shoulder by his reflexive arrow."

"Did you torture your tongue?" Yang Bo asked, the team is getting closer and closer to Jinzhou, and it is impossible to hide the traces.

"Asked, it was said that there were more than 300 Zhenyi stationed in Jinzhou City, about 400 people in the north, and there were also hundreds of other Baoyi auxiliaries" He Jiu frowned, obviously the actual garrison and the intelligence were very different.

Yang Bo turned around a few times with his hands behind his back and ordered: "Since we can't quietly advance to Jinzhou City, then we will raise the banner and go openly!" The order was given to the battalions to form a formation and rush at the speed of a rapid march, and not to pay attention to a small group of sentry horses"

Several heralds around Yang Bo scattered in a hurry and rushed to the battalions to give orders.

Shang Kexi looked at Yang Bo and wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end......

For this raid, Yang Bo collected the finest armor and shields in Lushun City, and even the pikemen carried shields and a sharp knife behind their backs, just for fear that it would be inconvenient for the spears to fight hand-to-hand at close range.

Soon, countless flags were erected, hunting and hunting under the blowing of the sea breeze, the blood flags of the sin camp were dyed with human blood, slightly blackened, a huge musket was painted on the flag of the arquebus camp, the pikegun camp was still black, their flag was also black on the background, a spear was painted on it, and several phalanxes walked in neat steps, approaching the Chinese army led by Yang Bo.

After a while, a few Tartar sentry riders discovered this team, they sent three or four horsemen to wander around the phalanx to find out, but after a row of guns, only a few corpses and three ownerless horses were left on the ground, and the remaining few sentry horses saw that the situation was not good, and they sent people to report while monitoring the Ming army from afar.

The phalanx catered to the rhythmic drum beat and stepped on the official road, and in the distance, the majestic figure of Jinzhou City stood in front of them......

Waves of sentry riders wandered two hundred paces away, including Tartars and northern captives, and they took out their crossbows and went around the back of the phalanx, ready to harass the enemy's rear, but before they could run into the range of the crossbows, dozens of broken muskets opened fire together, knocking them all to the ground, and some of the horses were frightened, and dragged the corpses back to the Tartar sentry ranks.

The Tartar sentinels, who had suffered a great loss, did not dare to approach any longer, and followed the phalanx as if they were leaving......

Shang Kexi's face was a little pale, although he believed that Yang Bo's Jimo battalion would not be afraid of the Tartar cavalry, but the cavalry watching around him made him feel like a man's back, and he was also deeply shocked by the Jimo battalion, the field marching army was neatly arranged, but the speed was not slow at all, and he also saw the faces of those ordinary sergeants Mu Ran, without the slightest fear of facing the cavalry.

"How can such an army be trained?" Shang Kexi was puzzled.

Just as he was pondering, Yang Bo suddenly smiled and said to him: "Yuanji, cheer up, the Tartar soldiers are ready to catch up."

Shang Kexi raised his head violently, as the horn of the Tartars continued to sound, more and more sentry horses galloped, they began to assemble on the right side of the phalanx, these sentry horses gathered about two hundred horsemen, divided into two groups, one of the knights on horseback was taller, at a glance it was known that it was a Mongolian Tartar.

Their leaders seemed to be arguing about whether to attack this strange Ming formation, the phalanx still advanced steadily, and did not take the threat on the right to heart, obviously, the arrogance of the Ming army angered these cavalry, at this moment, several pikemen on the right erected a few spears, carrying a few bloody human heads, it was the same sentry riders who had just probed the sentry!

Just when Yang Bo hoped that these rangers would not be able to hold their breath and charge, countless melodious horns suddenly sounded from the city wall, and those sentry riders heard the order, whistled, and retreated cleanly like a tide.

"It's a pity!"

Yang Bo sighed quietly, just now all the firecrackers had quietly concentrated on the right side, he had planned to defeat the Tartar rangers first, and then there would be no worries about the subsequent siege......

"The Tartars are ready to go out of the city to invite the battle!" Shang Kexi said suddenly.

Seeing Yang Bo's inquiring gaze, Shang Kexi, who has rich combat experience, explained: "The thieves and slaves have always been in the first place with heavy armored cavalry, these heavy armored soldiers are all wearing three layers of iron armor, charging and fighting to the death, they are the vanguard of the Tartars, and a large group of light armored archers are ambushed behind, and they are specially waiting for the surprise attack after the heavy armor breaks the formation, or wait for the two sides of our army's guns to be attacked, these people are superb in riding, and they will never rush into battle when they do not find the flaws of the enemy army. In several battles between the Ming army and the thieves and slaves, most of them were defeated under the harassment of these light cavalry......"

Before Shang Kexi finished speaking, the gate of Jinzhou City in the distance suddenly opened, and countless Tartars poured out and began to battle under the city! (To be continued.) )
