Hearing Li Zixin say this, Xin Ai Huang Taiji stood up suddenly, and slammed the wine glass in his hand: "Is this true? ”

Li Zixin said: "Yes." My brother could see clearly that there were about four or five thousand people accompanying Yan Hong, half of whom were people, and there were several hundred brocade-clothed guards. ”

Xin Ai grinned: "Okay, I heard that this Yan Hong was in Jinan, Shandong, and wiped out all the two elite thousand-man teams of Brother Kuteng." This time, I want him to know how powerful our Tumut Department is! ”

At that time, Mongolia was mainly divided into two parts, the eastern Chahar tribe was Kuten Khan, and the western Tumut department was Altan Khan, Kuten Khan was more orthodox, but Altan Khan was stronger, and the two families did not give in to each other, and even had the heart of clinging. Xin Ai Huang Taiji heard that Yan Hong was here, and was about to show his skills to let Kuten Khan know who was high and who was low.

Immediately, Xin Ai raised his voice and shouted: "Blow the horn!" ”

In a matter of moments, the sergeant outside the door blew the horn and beat the leather drum. In a short time, dozens of Mongolian commanders rushed into the tent. Xin Ai drew his sword and said: "All Mongolian warriors, Yan Hong, the Qin of the Ming Kingdom, has arrived at Malianbao. His bodyguard numbered no more than a few thousand. Let's set off, surround him, attack in the morning, and make a new wine cup with the heads of high-ranking officials of the Ming Kingdom! ”

The Mongol generals drew their scimitars together and shouted: "Attack at dawn and kill the Qincha!" "Everyone is excited, and the sound is vibrating.

After a while, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded. Tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry divided into several groups like a tide, rounded the hill, and galloped in the direction of Malianbao and Wanquan Right Guard.

Dawn, Marenburg. Yan Hong got up and got dressed. It was a solitary night, although it was a bit boring. But listen to the wind outside. It's sweet, too. Zhang Qingyan came into the house. Bring hot water for facial washing. Yan Hong washed it hastily and pulled Zhang Qingyan's hand: "Qingyan, how did you rest last night?" ”

Zhang Qingyan said quietly: "It's okay, anyway, there are a lot of days when Xianggong is not there." ”

Yan Hong laughed and said, "Then tonight will take advantage of your wishes." ”

The two were laughing, Yan Fu came in and said hurriedly: "Big young master, it's not good." Say that there are Tartars coming! ”

Yan Hong's heart jumped, and he wanted to jump up and stride out. Zhang Qingyan put the cloak on him. But Wang Ting and several border generals were already waiting outside: "Sir, there is a large group of Tartars who have surrounded Malianbao from three sides. ”

Yan Hong hurriedly walked to the watchtower on the north wall of Malianbao, but saw Yu Dayou, Ma Fang, Yun Chuqi, Ye Zhengfei and others all there. Seeing Yan Honglai, Ma Fang pointed to the north: "Please see, the cavalry of the Tartar brigade is going south, and I think I need another meal." You will be able to reach Marenburg. The Tartars usually do not send troops in winter, and this time it is unusual. Don't have a picture. In my opinion, you should hurry up and ride with brocade clothes and retreat south to the Great Wall, so as not to lose in the chaotic army. ”

Yan Hong put up a pergola in his hand, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that in the north, northwest, and northeast directions, there were several clouds of smoke and dust, rising from the ground in the morning mist, and slowly moving south. Although it is not yet clear how many men and horses there are, looking at this momentum, there will definitely be no shortage of troops. Yan Hong couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Since there is a bloody battle here, how can I just leave?" It's better to stand shoulder to shoulder with the generals here. ”

Ma Fang hurriedly said: "Lord Qincha, your heart of serving the country is grateful to the last general and all the soldiers of the army. But you don't have to risk it here. What's more, Qin Cha is responsible for replacing the Long Live Lord and patrolling the frontier, so it is appropriate to retreat to the Great Wall, mobilize follow-up troops and horses, and gallop to the aid of the local office, so as to gather and annihilate the invading Tartars. This confrontation is a matter of imminent confrontation, and the last general will wait for him to do it, and he hopes that Qin will be completed. ”

Yan Hong saw that Ma Fang was so good at talking, so he also said with a smile: "In this way, Ben Qin will return to the right guard and mobilize follow-up soldiers and horses." ”

But he looked at Yu Dayou and said: "In fact, if Qin Cha is to command in person and boost morale, it is not bad." There are nearly 3,000 cavalry here, all of whom are elites of the dynasty, and they will fight side by side with the soldiers of Malianbao, which will greatly frustrate the Tartars' spirit. ”

Yan Hong was silent when he heard this, and Ma Fang wanted to follow: "That's it, it's better to strategize." At this moment, the captives are in a hurry, and they must not be delayed. Qin differential rate Jinyi Wei retreated south. If the infantry led by General Yu and the accompanying people leave at this moment, they are afraid that they will be caught up by the captive cavalry and lose ground halfway, so they might as well stay in Malianbao to meet the battle together. ”

Yan Hong said: "Very good, then please ask the two generals here." General Ma, I will bring these rewards, and you will take the time to distribute them to the soldiers for me. After the bloody battle here, the merits will never be less yours. ”

Ma Fangxi said: "Thank you Qincha." ”

The situation is urgent, and there is no time to say more. Wang Ting and Liu Lian had already rushed to gather all the more than 300 brocade guards who accompanied them. Together with Zhang Qingyan, Liang Rufei, Yun Chuqi, Ye Zhengfei, Yan Feng, Yan Fu, Yan Jing, Yan Guo and other escort masters, everyone got on the horse together and went out of the south gate of Malianbao. Yan Hong said goodbye to Ma Fang and Yu Dayou, and led the crowd away.

Yun Chu dispatched in the middle of the house, but sent more than 30 Jinyi guards, in groups of two, to the front and back, left and right, and sentinels from all directions. The brigade rode in the center and drove straight to the right guard. After walking for nearly ten miles, there was a bush in front of him. Yun Chuqi suddenly pulled the reins gently: "Wait." ”

Yan Hong also grabbed the horse: "Brother Yun, what's wrong?" ”

was talking, but looking at the two brocade guards exploring the road in front of the left, only one of them came back from the horse, and shouted: "Sir, there is an ambush in the forest!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the whining horn in front of me, like a dragon's roar, like a tiger's roar. Then in the woods, thousands of birds flew up, scattering large black dots in the air, and all kinds of birds chirping through the sky. Immediately after that, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, but when you listened closely, countless horses' hooves knocked on the ground, merging into one. In the blink of an eye, among the bushes in front of him, a large group of cavalry rushed out, like a pack of wolves hunting, and the fan spread out like mercury pouring into the ground, outflanking this side.

Yan Hong's left and right brocade clothes and cavalry, all of them were elite guards, and when they saw the enemy brigade appear, they had already taken out their bird guns without waiting for orders. Yan Hong couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, and hurriedly asked Yun Chuqi: "Brother Yun, how to play, you will command." ”

Yun Chuqi held back for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Turn around and go back to Malianbao!" Hurry up! ”

Yan Hong didn't expect that this Yun Daxia, who was proficient in the art of war, actually came up with the last of the thirty-six plans, so he had to shout too: "Everyone turn around and go back to Malianbao!" "Pull the horse's head first, and gallop back north. More than 300 brocade guards also turned around. Everyone splashed their hooves and ran north for their lives.

At this time, the sound of hooves and horns behind him was getting closer, and there was also the shouting of the people on horseback. Although Yan Hong has also experienced several battles, he has never tried the taste of being chased by thousands of cavalry. He didn't care to look back, just beat his horse and galloped. Fortunately, he stepped off this yellow horse, although it was not as good as Zhang Qingyan's divine horse, but it was also a rare good horse, and the riding skills of the little Yama were also okay, so it was not very difficult to run. There are Zhang Qingyan, Liang Rufei and Zodiac signs and other master guards on the left and right, and for a while, they are barely paralyzed.

However, the horses of the Mongolian cavalry were better than the ordinary mounts of the Jinyi Guard, and their riding skills were also superior, and the two teams of men and horses were still gradually approaching. When the two sides were a stone's throw away, they could only hear the sound of a string behind them, and the feathered arrows followed. Yan Hong's horse was fast, and the distance was still far away, but when he peeked at it, the backward Jinyi guards had already begun to fall off their horses one after another. There were also a few horsemen who were missed, and their horses were wounded and fell to the ground in mourning. Those brocade guards are all brave and not afraid of death, although they fell off their horses, they still struggled to stand up, drew their swords out of their sheaths, and fought for trapped beasts. But where did the Mongols allow him to fight hard, and dozens of paces away there was a burst of feather arrows, shooting these people like hedgehogs, and then falling to the ground again.

After running like this for a while, there were still several miles away from Malianbao, and the Mongolian cavalry behind them was already chasing closer and closer. At this moment, in the rush, there is no way to maintain any formation, and more and more of the backward Jinyi guards are dying in battle. Suddenly, I heard Ye Zhengfei roar angrily: "Damn, this way of playing is too cowardly, Lao Tzu and Tartar are fighting!" "I'm going to get the bird behind the horse. Yun Chuqi wanted to slap him on the horse's buttocks: "What kind of hero is this time, protect Qin and send back to Malian Castle!" ”

Yan Hong's heart was also shocked, the cavalry chased and fled, this is indeed the part of being slaughtered, I am afraid that if I can't wait for Malian Fort, the more than 300 cavalry under my command will be wiped out. But turning around to face the battle, seeing that the Mongols were at least a few thousand, and the two sides were hedging, it was also a situation of death and no life.

was suffering, but there was another puff of smoke and dust in the direction of Malianbao in front of him, and the cavalry of the brigade was coming. There is a big flag in the middle, and the word "horse" is big in the book. Yun Chuqi said loudly: "Okay, Ma Zongrong has come to reinforce me!" (To be continued......)
