Chapter 33 Fight for the people of Liaodong

Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for rewards

In the forty-first year of Jiajing, Li Rusong, under the command of Li Chengliang, a general of the dangerous mountain, personally led a total of 5,000 men and horses of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Chiyan Legion to kill Wang Gao on the southern slope.

Since then, Wang Gao, a giant who has been crisscrossing Liaodong for decades, burning, killing and looting countless times, has completely disappeared in the long river of history. In this battle, except for a few dozen people who fled, the remaining more than 12,000 people were all killed, of which about 8,700 were burned alive in the intestines of sheep. The reason why it is an estimate is that after the war, the Ming army found that the valley trail was full of charred and twisted pieces of flesh, and it was impossible to make a specific estimate.

Those Jurchen soldiers who tried their best to escape from the sheep's intestines were also killed by the joint efforts of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Chiyan Legion on the way, and there was not one out of ten. In the end, the Ming army beheaded more than 5,000 Tartar heads, and Wang Gao's body was preserved and sent to the capital.

"Tsk, Lord Wu, look at it, this Wang Gao, this turtle grandson, is still so arrogant when he dies. Did you last play a piece and ask Your Majesty to make Wang Gao into a mummy specimen for my Ming people to spit on in their previous lives? Li Rusong personally accompanied a middle-aged man in armor to stand in an open space in the camp and comment on a corpse.

This person is Wu Huan, the chief soldier of Liaodong, with the Jurchen head given to him by Li Rusong at the end of last year, and the credit of repelling the Mongols later, he has firmly controlled the entire Liaodong, except for the dangerous mountains!

Wu Huan looked at Li Rusong, who was judging a corpse with a surprised gaze, and his mind was full of questions:

The talent and ability of this kid in front of him can be described as unparalleled in ancient times. In less than five years, the once dilapidated and dangerous mountain has become the peach blossom source of Liaodong under the management of this kid. Hundreds of people rushed to move to the dangerous mountains, even at the cost of money.

The Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Chiyan Legion trained by him personally are all first-class strong armies, and they are famous in Liaodong, and the Jurchens, who were fierce and brave in the past, are like sheep seeing wolves in front of these two armies, and they have no power to resist and let them be slaughtered.

Originally, in Wu Huan's opinion, the results of all this were just meat on his lips, as long as he used a little trick, he could take away the rich and dangerous mountain city without much effort, and at the same time turn these two strong armies into his own personal guards. In fact, he does have this intention and is already ready to implement it.

But last month, a holy decree in the capital completely dispelled Wu Huan's greed, and was replaced by a deep fluke and fear: How many hole cards did Li Rusong hide? How terrifying his power is!

There are only two contents in the holy decree: first, order Wu Huan to send troops to collect the old Lezhai with the dangerous mountain army as the main force; 2. Wu Huan's task is to lead the army to block and reinforce other Jurchen tribes in Gule Village, and the dangerous mountain army is responsible for attacking Gule Village.

Wu Huan was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat at that time, this holy decree was obviously not issued by the emperor, but issued by the first and second assistants in the cabinet. On behalf of the supreme leader of the Ming Dynasty's civil official group, the first assistant and the second assistant actually let themselves be a Liaodong general soldier to Li Rusong, a yellow-haired boy?

"I heard that this kid had a close relationship with He Xinyin, a famous man in Jiangnan, and beat Zhang Yunling, the servant of Master Zhang, but was treated as a guest by Master Zhang, this guy's background is too deep" At that moment, Wu Huan made a decision in his heart, he would rather lose his official position than provoke this Li Rusong.

Don't look at Li Chengliang as a general in a dangerous mountain, Li Rusong is just a son-in-law without any official position. But a discerning person can see at a glance that all Li Chengliang's current achievements are all made by his son on the battlefield and in politics.

Li Rusong didn't care about this, Wu Huan wanted to attack his dangerous mountain, and then he didn't do it, through the intelligence network secretly arranged by the porridge, he was clear. For such a capricious villain, Li Rusong has always killed everything to prevent future troubles.

Poor Wu Zongbing still didn't know that the plan he thought was secret had been known by Li Rusong, who was really thinking about how to do it. is still naïve to think that the other party will befriend him, and he uses the other party's strength to climb up the clouds.

After checking the Jurchen Tartar heads, Wu Huan left with two thousand heads, looking at his distant back, Li Rusong showed a cold smile, turned around and walked towards the big tent, where there was still a guy waiting for him to meet: Atai's messenger!

"Say, Atai asked you to go out of the city to find my son, so what's the matter?" Walking into the camp tent and not looking at the envoy tied to the corner, Li Rusong sat on the handsome chair with a golden knife and took a sip of tea before asking.

"My lord begged Lord Yama to let him live, and at the same time return the body of the chief. The master of my family is willing to hand over 20,000 Jurchens, cut off the head or sacrifice the captive at will, and give the adult 5 million taels of silver. From now on, serve your lordship and be your most loyal servant" The messenger didn't care that he was still tied, stretched his neck, and said eagerly in tongue-twisting Chinese, his eyes full of longing.

"Tsk, Atai is really smart! Give me the useless 20,000 Jurchen women and children, if I kill them, once these heads are offered, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will definitely say that I Li Rusong is addicted to murder, and I will not even let go of the old and weak women and children; As for serving me, I think it's so that I can learn more useful things when I rebel next time, right? With Li Rusong's words, the envoy's face became more and more pale, and he couldn't make any sound when he opened his mouth.

"The wolf's ambition is still trying to trick me at this time? It's really in the same vein as Wang Gao, but it's a pity! Go back and tell Atai that all of them are disarmed and surrendered before sunrise tomorrow, and I can consider sparing the lives of those old and weak women and children. Otherwise? Speaking of this, Li Rusong deliberately paused, slowly stood up, and stared at the messenger with cold eyes, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and waited for the next thing tremblingly.

"Otherwise, Lao Tzu will slaughter the city! Swear in the name of my Li Rusong! If Atai stubbornly resists the heavenly soldiers, I will kill all the men, women and children in the entire Gule Village, and there will be no chickens and dogs! Slamming the table, Li Rusong's words were full of strong killing intent, and the whole person stared at the messenger in front of him with red eyes, as if the king of Yama was holding a judge's pen and staring at the lonely ghost.

"Get out!" Without waiting for the envoy to reply, Li Rusong waved his hand, and the monk Lingqin, who was standing on the side, directly lifted the envoy who was so frightened that he was paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, and walked out of the camp tent.

"Atai, don't surrender! Countless people in Liaodong who died tragically under the ambition of your father and son are watching from the sky, waiting for me to break your belly and dig out your heart to pay tribute to their souls in the sky! Walking out of the big tent alone and looking at the night sky full of stars, Li Rusong muttered to himself alone, like the whisper of the king of Yama.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight fell on the earth, and all the soldiers of the dangerous mountain army were dressed in bright armor and lined up in a neat line in high spirits, assembled outside the gate of the camp, their eyes were full of blazing worship, looking at one person - the god of war in the dangerous mountain army, Li Rusong, the king of Yama!

"Ladies and gentlemen! The front is the stronghold of Wang Gao and Atai father and son who have been in Liaodong for decades to bring disaster to me, and Wang Gao has led troops to invade my Liaodong many times, killing tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and more than 100,000 people were taken away as slaves, and life is better than death! Yesterday, in order to boost morale, Wang Gao and Atai father and son killed all the people of our Ming Dynasty in Gule Village, and the sea of blood is full of hatred! Today I want to break through Gule Village and save my Ming people from fire and water! You will go with me! Holding a huge horse chopping knife, Li Rusong lifted the reins of the horse, and the horse man under his crotch stood up, and the voice full of anger echoed in the field near Gule Village.

"I'll be a pioneer! Swear to follow the general to the death and slaughter Gule Village! Save my people! Kill! Cheng Yi was the first to respond, waving the three-eyed fire gun in his hand and roaring angrily, leading the Red Flame Legion to take the lead in the battle.

"Swear to follow Childe to the death! Slaughter Gule Village! Kill! The fury swept through the entire Ming army in an instant, and all the soldiers brandished their weapons, their faces flushed, and they let out a deafening roar.

"Kill!"

With Li Rusong's order, the five thousand dangerous mountain troops lined up in a neat military formation in the order of each other, and stepped on low steps towards Gule Village.

The forward Liaodong Iron Cavalry was like a prostrate head on the ground, proud of the common black dragon, and the two thousand iron-blooded cavalry marched quietly and silently. But the red eyes and the terrifying murderous aura emanating from the whole body told everyone that this black dragon was already furious and would tear everyone in front of him apart!

The rear team of the Red Flame Legion was like a flame, and the three thousand infantry lined up in a neat phalanx, following the cavalry unhurriedly with solid steps. Every soldier clenched the spears and guns in their hands, pushed the heavy cannons, panted, stared at the blood-red eyes, and stared at the Gule village not far away. This flame of vengeance will burn all the enemies in front of you!

The entire Dangerous Mountain Army is now a group of terrifying deaths, both angry at the innocent and tragic deaths of their compatriots, and because their eldest son, Li Rusong, said: "We want to slaughter Gule Village!"

In the minds of all the people and soldiers in the dangerous mountains, the imperial court was nothing, and when they were killed and looted by the Tartars, the imperial court was still singing praises and depicting the peaceful and prosperous times, completely ignoring their life and death, but many generals used them as bargaining chips for promotion and wealth.

When they were about to completely lose confidence, Li Rusong appeared, and the eldest prince took them to divide the fields, punish the rebels, and kill the Tartars, so that they could live a stable and prosperous life. Even in order to protect their fields, the eldest prince did not hesitate to confront the officials and magnates, just to protect the property of their ordinary people!

In the eyes of all the dangerous mountain troops, it was the eldest prince Li Rusong and the eldest lord Li Chengliang who saved them and gave them a way to live, so that their wives and children could survive to be fed and clothed. This is a great kindness, which is worthy of the death of these simple people of Liaodong!

Li Rusong is the imperial court in their minds, and what Li Rusong refers to with his sword is the target they do not hesitate to fight, even if it is the imperial court!

"The whole army stops! Prepare for battle! When the army came to a plain less than five miles away from Gule Village, with an order, this tyrannical iron-blooded army stopped, and every soldier silently followed the content of the drill and meticulously carried out the order, and the whole army was like a sophisticated war machine.

"Dangerous Mountain Army! Fight for my people! With Li Rusong drawing his sword in his hand and roaring, the dangerous mountain army launched an overwhelming offensive against Gule Village!
