After the car formation was arranged, Li Dashan hurriedly ran to Shi Dayong with his three subordinates, and first scolded Dalinghe City, "Grandma is a bear, Zu Dashou is not authentic!" Then he couldn't wait to ask Shi Dayong: "My lord, the car formation is ready, are we fighting or withdrawing?" ”

"Panic what! Are the Tartars coming at us? Shi Dayong ignored him, but looked fixedly in the northeast direction.

Li Dashan and the three generals also turned their heads to look in the northeast direction, but found that the Tartar cavalry did not rush to this side, nor did they kill the Daling River, but stopped on a small high slope more than three miles away.

Several horsemen rushed out of the ranks, and immediately the knights pointed at Da Linghe City with a horsewhip and didn't know what to say.

The Houjin cavalry, which did not attack, was quiet inside and outside the city, revealing a trace of weirdness.

The current situation is very delicate, the Houjin cavalry is observing the city outside the city, and the gates of the defenders in the city are closed, and they are also nervously looking at the Houjin soldiers outside the city. However, the Matsuyama Army in the southwest was like a vacuum, and neither of the two sides looked to this side.

…………

On the slope, the back gold inlaid yellow flag Niu Lu Zhentu looked at the Da Linghe City in front of him contemptuously, and asked the Mongolian Taiji Gurbush behind him with a horsewhip very arrogantly: "Gulbush, you have dealt with the Ming people in the past, have you ever seen such a timid Ming people?" ”

The wrinkled Gulbush bowed respectfully and replied almost flatteringly: "As the general said, in the eyes of our Mongolians, the Ming people have always been as timid as mice!" ”

Gulbushh is not a Manchurian, but a Khalkha Mongol, in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven led 430 households to attach Houjin, and the old Khan Nurhachit gave his department a Mongolian Yiniulu, and named him a first-class Taiji.

Taiji is the title of Houjin to the Mongolian tribes, second only to the prince, the prince of the county, and under Baylor, Gulbush is a first-class Taiji, according to the title, it is more expensive than just Niu Lu's real Tu Lai, but Gul Bush did not dare to sit on an equal footing with Tu Lai, but humbly bowed, and went south to obey his orders, and even respectfully called this Niu Lu a general.

The reason why Gulbush was willing to bow to Tu Lai was that Tu Lai's father was Fei Yingdong, one of the five founding ministers of the Dajin Kingdom.

Of course, the main reason is that Tulai is a Manchurian, and Gulbush is a Mongol.

"General, the King of Khan asked us to investigate the movements of the people of the Ming Kingdom, and now that we have found out the truth, are we going back to Yizhou to report to all of you?"

The task has been completed, although the Ming army in the opposite city does not dare to fight with the city gate closed, but after all, there are more than 10,000 elite Ming troops in the city, if they suddenly rush out, Gulbush does not dare to ensure that he can retreat with his whole body, which will still be important to return to Yizhou to resume his life. It's too dangerous to stay long.

I didn't want to do it, but I waved my hand, bared my teeth and smiled: "I'm not busy, since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed." ”

The horsewhip in his hand suddenly moved from Dalinghe City to the southwest, pointed there and said, "See, the Ming people have locked their grain and grass team outside the city!" Ha Luha, when I was in Shenyang, King Khan often said that Zu Dashou was a member of the Ming people, and asked me to be cautious and not act recklessly, but now it seems that this so-called tiger general is only afraid of being famous. Hmph, how can a general who even has to abandon his own grain transportation team outside the city be a tiger general! ”

"What the general said is very true!"

Gulbush hurriedly echoed, and then wondered: "What does the general mean?" ”

Tu Yan's smile slowly froze, a fierce light shot out of his eyes, and he said viciously: "We Manchurians will never give up the fat that is sent to our mouths!" He turned his head violently and shouted: "Sons, pull out your swords, pull your bowstrings, and let the hooves of the Manchurian warriors scare the courage of those Ming people!" ”

When he heard that Tulai was going to attack the grain convoy of the Ming people, Gulbush was secretly taken aback, and when he reached this slope, he noticed the Ming army in the southwest, judging from the size of the convoy, the Ming army escorted should also have a thousand people, and it was obviously an empty car from the Daling River back to Jinzhou.

A convoy without food is like a bone without meat, and it is really not interesting to gnaw. Moreover, there is still the main force of the Ming army in the city, and it is too dangerous to risk attacking that grain transport team.

Thinking of this, Gulbush decided to dissuade Tulai's attack, he hesitated for a moment, and reminded Tulai: "General, if the Ming army in the city comes out when we attack, we will not be able to take advantage. ”

Hearing this, Tu Lai glanced sideways at Gulbush and sneered: "Gulbush, you are old, and you are no longer the eagle on the grassland!" Your fears are not justified at all, you see, if they had the courage to dare to go out of the city, they would not be what they are now! ”

Hearing this, Gulbush's old face turned red, and he secretly slandered this arrogant and arrogant Eight Banners Niu Lu, but at the same time, he also agreed with Tu Lai's analysis, yes, the Ming army in Dalinghe City did not have the courage to go out of the city, and they had been shocked by the bravery of the Eight Banners warriors.

"Gulbush, if your men don't have the courage to attack, then let my Manchurian warriors fight!"

Tu Cheng didn't want to waste any more time, he didn't want the Ming army's grain transport team to run away, so he waved his hand to order the 120 horse armor soldiers of Niu Lu to prepare for the attack.

No, Gulbush suddenly raised his voice and said: "General, since you have decided, then the task of attacking will be handed over to my people!" ”

"The one handed over to you?"

Tu Lai narrowed his eyes and nodded, this time he and Gulbush came here from Yizhou on the order of Bel Azig to investigate the movement of the Ming army to rebuild the Daling River, and they did not bring many soldiers and horses. There are only 300 people in Niulu, and there are only 120 soldiers in armor and vests, and if they attack the Ming army's grain transportation team, they will inevitably be damaged. Although the damage may be small, it is certainly best to avoid the damage. With this in mind, Tu Yi naturally agreed to let Gulbush's Mongols tear open the Ming army's defense line, so that he could preserve his strength in Niulu, and the most important credit was his own anyway.

"Okay, Gulbush, let your people show their hands this time, you go to attack the Ming army's food team, and my people will fight for you!"

"Yes, General!"

Gulbush's old face is hot again, but this time it's not a blush, but a bloody one, Tu Yi just said that he is old, and he will let him see if I'm old later!

Remarks: 1. Before the founding of the Emperor Taiji and the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Army were mixed with Manchus, Mongols, and Han Chinese, with Manchus dominant, followed by Mongols and Hans, but these people have been Manchu, that is, Manchus must be banner people, and banner people may not be Manchus. Gulbush's Niu Lu belongs to the Mongolian Niu Lu of the Later Jinman Eight Banners, not the Mongolian Eight Banners of the future.

2. The country name of "Qing" is 1636, that is, the ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was renamed from the Later Jin, and before the Later Jin was changed to the Qing Dynasty, the corresponding description of the book adopts the Later Jin system, not the Qing system.

3. Jurchen clan name: In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji abolished the old clan name "Zhushen" (Jurchen) and named the clan "Manchuria". For the sake of ease of reading, this book still uses "Manchuria" before the name change
