Chapter 226: Intrigues

After Zhao Lie received the report, he summoned Huang Han, Li Lu, Han Jian, Guan Ming, Wang Haizhou and others, understood the enemy situation in Gu'an, warned his subordinates to prepare to meet the enemy, and at the same time sent Zhang Keda to explore the horse and pass the rear team.

The shield of the battlefield could not be foolproof, and on the morning of the second day, two Mongols finally returned with their wounds in embarrassment, and transmitted the news of the approaching Ming army back to the Mongolian camp outside Gu'an City.

"Thousands of Ming troops, coming from the southeast." Batu's eyebrows were tightly locked, thousands of Ming troops were not too easy to fight. They have wreaked havoc in Jingnan for many days and gained countless harvests, and now they just want to return to Horqin in peace, use these captured filling strength, and compete for pasture cattle and sheep, and they are really unwilling to fight a tough battle here.

"Yes, our clansmen have almost no armor, they are all leather robes, and they can block arrows, and they are fighting..." As he spoke, Su De peeked at a fat man in Mongolian costume sitting next to him in the big tent, this is the most powerful person here, this lord was sent by the Great Golden Khan.

"A few Taiji, in the past month, several tribes have galloped across the Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi, and the harvest is extremely rich, I am greedy for it," the Mongolian fat man smiled and looked at a few people, the fat on his face trembled with a smile, and he looked like a Maitreya Buddha, "Why, the Ming army reinforcements have not yet arrived in Gu'an, you want to avoid the war, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Khan King." ”

Saying this, there was no smile on his face, but he looked at the three Taiji gloomily, and his face changed very quickly.

"Lord Uliji, how dare we not listen to the orders of the Khan, but there are many enemies at the moment, and I am afraid that we are powerless." The sleek Su He sneered.

"Several, all descendants of the grassland. I, Uliji, warn you. If returned without WWI. If you wait, it will be the end of the annihilation. Wu Liji said coldly.

He is not the Horqin tribes, he is a naturalized tribe in the early years, the family is in the Guangning area, and now he is ordered by the Khan to supervise the superintendents, if the Horqin tribes are fleeing back from the war, then he has not completed the duties of the Mongols entrusted to him by the Great Khan, and he will not be lucky, and even the family will be destroyed. Of course, these Taiji didn't run.

It's about your own life, so what's polite at this time.

"How dare we touch the beard of the Khan, we will definitely defeat the Ming reinforcements, so as to offer a generous gift to the Khan." Batu was cold, the cold-blooded tyranny of the Jurchens made them feel terrified, and they had long since lost the blood of their ancestors hundreds of years ago.

Su De and Su He hurriedly agreed, but they scolded in their hearts, how much do you bastard receive from me, but at the critical moment, you turned your face and didn't recognize people, and coerced me to go into battle.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I'm also thinking about you, you know, if you wait to avoid the war. The Jurchen adults must flee and deal with it according to the battle, and the family property is not guaranteed, so it is important to weigh it at home. Uligi saw that a few people were soft, so he turned around.

"In this case, I need to say a lot of good things for us." The three of them hurriedly complimented, they simply didn't have the guts to disobey the Jurchens.

At the beginning of the second day, Cheng Wangyan of Gu'an County saw the Beiyu Brigade begin to evacuate Gu'an and march southeast.

Wang Yan and the people on duty in the city are all grateful to God for his protection, so the killing is finally gone, Wang Yan's legs are weak and he almost knelt on the ground, and Liu Shen, the county magistrate, heard that the Beiyu brigade was coming, and he fled regardless of the people in the city.

Wang Yan had no choice but to organize the young and strong among the people, issue weapons, demolish some houses and move bricks and huge trees to the head of the city to defend them, fortunately, the northern captives were all cavalry, and they did not attack the city, otherwise these people would not be able to hold it anyway.

Wang Yan didn't know that the Mongols were all cavalry, and the harvest of this looting was very much, and he didn't want to attack the city and lose too many manpower, otherwise it would be impossible to hold the city with the people led by the officials in the city, and he was afraid that they would be scattered when he boarded the city.

At the beginning of the seventh afternoon of December in the second year of Chongzhen, Zhao Lie led his troops to Gu'an only a little more than ten miles away, Zhao Lie ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, and he estimated that the big war was coming.

Liu Fugui drank water and swallowed fried noodles, and after a few days, he was about to vomit after eating fried noodles in the morning and lunch, but the war was approaching, and filling his stomach at this time was a big deal.

Liu Fugui finished eating quickly, drank water, stood up and inspected his hundred subordinates, urging them to finish eating quickly, and his four guards followed.

Liu Fugui saw that Zou Huaien was leisurely wiping the tip of the spear with a rag, the tip of the spear was soaked in grease and greasy black, without the cold light of the past.

"Wynne, you're done eating." Liu Fugui patted him on the shoulder.

"Uh, Mr. Bai is here." Zou Huaien waited to get up, but was pressed down by Liu Fugui, although the two were closer than brothers, but in front of a group of soldiers, Zhou Huaien has always been a subordinate to see the courtesy, after all, Liu Fugui is a hundred generals, and the dignity in the army must be obeyed.

"What are we two doing?" Liu Fugui said impatiently. "Wynne, take the battle in a while, be careful, I said, we are going to fight back to our hometown together, you can remember."

"Don't worry, I can't die, I just killed a Jiannu, my uncle, eldest brother, and sister's revenge hasn't been avenged, I can't die if I don't kill enough." Zou Huaien replied with a smile.

"You kid, you can't die if you have enough money, I still want to get married in the future." Liu Fugui hammered him hard and left.

Liu Fugui went to various places, Ma Wen and Wu Han are also long now, only the silent Mei Kaishan and Ji Gang are still under Zou Huaien's hands.

Lao Ding was seriously injured and retired to Beihua to farm, as a member of the Iron Mountain Meritorious Service Lao Ding was divided into fifty acres of Xuntian, Lao Liao and Tang Trap Army entered the Jeju Martyrs' Shrine, Liu Fugui looked at the West, and said in his heart, I don't know who can survive after this battle.

"Lord Bing, I divided several groups to rush and kill the enemy army, lost five people, and found that the enemy army was all captives from the north, and there were no Jiannu men and horses, and it is estimated that there will be more than 3,000 cavalry, only five miles away." A scout in Li Lu's team, Bai Zong, Zhang Zichang, knelt down and said.

"Well, it's been a hard journey, so let's go down and rest with the brothers." Zhao Lie looked at the gray soil on Zhang Zi's face and said warmly.

Zhang Zichang bowed and left.

"Everyone, go back to the armament and war, let such a slave dog taste the iron fist of my broken army, so that they will be able to pee when they see the banner of our waiting in the future." Zhao Lie said solemnly.

"Yes." Li Lu, Han Jian, Guan Ming, Wang Haizhou and others returned to the team.

At this time, Zhao Lie and the others had already felt the frozen earth shake slightly, but it was very slight.

After hearing the three long and dull horns, the soldiers all stood up and began to form a team with the orders of their respective hundred and thousand generals.

The artillery team came to the front of the team as always, and after unloading the medicine bag and projectiles, the horse was led away.

Twenty guns were tended by two hundred gunners, and a hundred gunners were used as reserves.

The 1,200 musketeers of the three thousand corps were divided into four rows and thirty columns, extending for more than 100 meters, cutting off the official road and arranging it into the fields, with 1,500 pikemen stationed behind, and on the left and right sides were 400 cavalry commanders each, of which the right flank were all armored cavalry riding stone island horses.

Three miles away, the dust was heavy, and the sound of thunder heralded the arrival of a large number of cavalry. Square, triangular blue, white, and red flags fluttered in the smoke, but when they reached two miles, the speed of the horses dropped so much that the Mongol cavalry reined in their horses.

"Batu, well, I'm old, my eyes are a little flowery, you see if the Ming army in front of you is fully armored." Sude, a wizened man in his forties, asked.

Nima, what kind of flowers, what did you say a few days ago to even a few Han girls overnight, damn, you just want to pull me together and shout that the enemy is too strong, avoid the war, and let Uli Jifa not blame the public.

"Yes, Batu Taiji, the Ming army on the opposite side is very clean, and all the infantry and cavalry are armored, and they are not capable of the enemy." Batu said, out of the heart of avoiding the war, he admitted it, and as soon as he encountered such a powerful Ming army for the first time, he was also beating a drum in his heart.

"Two Taiji, I still say the same thing, if you don't retreat without a fight, it will be the sin of escaping from the battle," Wu Liji shot back strongly, although he was also taken by the might of the Ming army on the opposite side, but he was still sneering at the combat power of the Ming army in Liaodong, can the team retreat from the enemy if it stands well,

"Two, this is not the Ming Jing Division, the Great Tomorrow will check the soldiers, what's the use of a neat team, you have to have the final say with the swords and guns in your hands, don't you even have the courage to do this."

Wu Liji's words made the two of them lose face, and at the same time, they were also worried when they thought of the harshness of the Jurchens.

"Lord Wuliji, I can't wait for 3,000 people, but there are about 4,000 Ming troops on the other side, which is outnumbered." Su He, who has always been slippery, is also skeptical.

"The Battle of Salhu, the Battle of Liaoshen, and the Battle of Guangning were not the Ming army, the armor was complete, and the Dajin Army was not even complete in armor, what were the results, every time it was not the Ming army that was annihilated, and countless armors were presented, you can only see the appearance of the Ming army, what I saw was countless armor and heads like I beckoned, if it wasn't for the absence of my people, how could I have your credit."

Uliji pouted and said, no matter what, he had to let the Mongols fight, as long as he played, he would not be derelict in his duty regardless of victory or defeat, and as for the defeat in case of defeat, the loss of the Korqin people had nothing to do with him.

"What Lord Wuliji said is extremely true, the Ming army has always been good at bluffing, whether it is against Chahar, Horqin, or Dajin in the past 20 years, how can the Ming army have had a big victory." After Uliji's flickering, Su De seemed to see the opponent's armor beckoning to him.

How about Dajin, it was just thirteen pairs of armor back then, and everything that came later was not taken from the Ming people, the Jurchens could, why can't they, if they win the opposite, well, thousands of armor can also share more than a thousand, so who will have the final say in the Horqin grassland.

Batu also nodded in agreement, and the greed in his eyes was unmistakable.

Only Su He, who was smooth on the surface and cautious in his heart, drew his soul in his heart, but the two Taiji had already agreed, and it was useless for him to oppose it.

Wu Liji smiled, glad that his wish had been fulfilled, he really didn't look down on the combat power of the Ming army, even if the Ming army on the opposite side had bright armor and neat and well-dressed.

Several Taiji reached an agreement, and each sent 500 soldiers to attack the enemy formation, defeated the Ming army, and captured the equal shares.

Under the orders of several Taiji's cronies, 1,500 cavalry began to assemble, and the people shouted that the horses neighed, and the battle was about to break out. (To be continued.) )
