In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuntian, who was asleep, was woken up by the guards, yawned and got up to wash. Copy this address to view 62%78%73%2e%63%63

From Wu'an County to Heiniu Town, Li Yuntian didn't close his eyes much along the way, he could have slept until noon, but he couldn't do that, because if he didn't guess wrong, if King Han really came to Cangzhou, then he would definitely pass through Heiniu Town today.

In the early morning, the town of Black Bull was shrouded in a light mist, and the sound of roosters crowed one after another in the town, and it was a quiet and peaceful scene as far as the eye could see.

Li Yuntian stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Heiniu Town in the morning mist while moving his hands and feet, and he didn't know what this quiet town would become after today.

After the exercise, Li Yuntian, accompanied by Li Daniu, inspected the soldiers sleeping on the spot in the mountain col, and many of them snuggled together, slept around the fire, and covered themselves with weeds, fallen leaves and other items to keep warm.

Due to the light travel, Li Yuntian and his entourage lacked bedding to protect against the cold, so they could only use this way to resist the cold night, and the situation could be described as very difficult.

It was precisely for this reason that they were able to come to Black Bull Town one step ahead of King Han.

"Young master, our spies have already found out clearly, King Han's troops are in a town forty miles away from Black Bull Town, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive at Black Bull Town at noon today."

Li Yuntian was covering a sleeping soldier with thatch scattered on the ground when Li Daniu came to his side and whispered. [35415671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 354 ruling the Ming Dynasty 357

"It's finally here!" Li Yuntian smiled bitterly when he heard this, and whispered while covering the soldier with thatch, "Pass the order, get up at three o'clock, eat and prepare for war!" ”

When Li Daniu heard this, he hurried away and went to arrange the arrangement, and at the same time sent someone to Jingzhou City to report to Emperor Xuande.

After covering the thatch for the soldier, Li Yuntian straightened up and glanced around at the soldiers who were sleeping differently, and shook his head helplessly, after this battle, he didn't know how many people would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

In the morning, a cavalry team galloped into the town of Black Bull and went straight to the mansion of the king and the good man in the town.

The town soon became lively, and under the arrangement of Wang Dashanren, the townspeople slaughtered pigs and sheep, and were very busy, preparing meals in full swing to welcome the arrival of the King of Han.

Li Yuntian stood on the top of the hill and stared at the black cow town full of cooking smoke, and vaguely he seemed to be able to smell the aroma of food wafting from the town, and he couldn't help but move his index finger.

In the past two days, the Xiaowu army has been feeding their hunger with cold bread, and when the battle in Black Bull Town is over, he will definitely reward the three armies and let the soldiers have a big meal.

Several townspeople who went up the mountain to chop wood inadvertently broke into the camp of the Ming army, and were shocked when they saw that the mountain col was densely covered with Ming troops, and they recognized that this army was wearing the clothes of the army loyal to Emperor Xuande, and they were just about to flee back to the town to report the news when they were firmly tied up by the sentries hidden nearby.

In order to avoid startling the snake, those unlucky villagers will not be released until the Ming army and the rebels have a short exchange.

At three o'clock in the morning, that is, close to ten o'clock in the morning, the sergeant of Xiaowu Army, who was sleeping on the ground, was woken up, "rubbed" his sleepy eyes and began to eat breakfast, their food was very simple, noodles, fried noodles and a bowl of cold water.

Compared with the bread, many people prefer to eat fried noodles, because there is sugar in the fried noodles, which tastes sweet and silky, which is a delicacy that Li Yuntian specially let the men stir-fry, and is deeply loved by the soldiers.

In order to solve the pressure of logistical supply during the march, Li Yuntian distributed a dry food bag to the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army, which was used to hold easy-to-carry dry food such as flour cakes and fried noodles, which were wrapped around their bodies during the march and could carry dry food for seven days at a time, thus solving the problem of eating the soldiers and greatly speeding up the march.

After breakfast, the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army gathered in the mountain col, and as far as the eye could see, the black pressure was overwhelming, almost covering the huge mountain pass.

Although the scene was full of people, it was silent, and the atmosphere was sporadic and depressing.

"Brothers, according to accurate information, the king of Han is leading the rebels to Heiniu Town, if they are allowed to cross Heiniu Town to join the rebels in Cangzhou City, then they will go north to the capital. Now that the defense of the capital is empty, and the main force of our army is in Dezhou, once the rebels arrive in the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable. [35415671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 354 ruling the Ming Dynasty 357

Li Yuntian stood on a large rock high in the mountain pass, glanced around at the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army who were looking at him in unison, and said loudly, "The emperor has already known about the rebels' attempt to sneak attack the capital, and is mobilizing the Texas army to rush, as long as we can intercept the King of Han here, then the rebels will undoubtedly be defeated, and our army will gain an overwhelming advantage in the Shandong battlefield, and the end of this war is just around the corner!" ”

"Brothers, this official doesn't like fighting on the battlefield like you, and wants to reunite with his family, but the rebels can only hope for this kind of hope, and it is out of reach."

As he spoke, Li Yuntian's words turned around, and there was more tragedy in his words, "This war has brought great disasters to the people of Jinan and Qingzhou Mansions, many people have left their hometowns and been displaced, if it continues, it will inevitably affect the entire territory of Shandong and Beizhili, and I don't know how many people will be separated from their wives and families." ”

"I won't repeat the redundant nonsense, today's battle in Black Bull Town is not only to protect my parents from the poison of war, but also to protect the emperor and the Ming Dynasty in a peaceful and prosperous world."

With a swipe, Li Yuntian took out an embroidered spring knife with a gold handle and silver sheath hanging from his waist, and pointed to a black "color" banner embroidered with four red "color" characters on it behind him and said loudly, "When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and the banner of this official will always stand in Heiniu Town, living and dying with Heiniu Town!" ”

This gold-handled silver-sheathed embroidered spring knife is Li Yuntian's preparation knife in the martial arts hall, which is specially used for combat, as for the gold-handled gold-sheathed embroidered spring knife given to him by Emperor Xuande, it is used to decorate the façade, and it should not be lightly stained with blood.

There are two small flags on both sides of the big flag with red letters and black background, which are also red characters and black backgrounds, and each flag has a pattern of a fierce beast, from left to right is the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird and the Xuanwu, which are the four holy beasts that guard the Quartet in ancient legends.

The reason why Li Yuntian chose the ancient four holy beasts as the symbol on the military flag is to protect the peace of the Ming Dynasty.

"This official once said that after quelling the rebellion, he would select brave warriors to join the camp on the outskirts of Jiangwutang, and in view of the importance of this battle with the rebels, this official decided to fulfill his promise in advance."

Under the gaze of all the soldiers at the scene, Li Yuntian pointed at the four holy beast military flags with his knife, and said loudly, "With the emperor's permission, the Jiangwutang Beijing suburb camp will establish four battalions of men and horses, and the four military flags will be awarded respectively. ”

Hearing this, those Xiaowu soldiers in the col couldn't help but show a look of surprise on their faces, after these days of getting along with Li Yuntian, they all didn't want to join the camp on the outskirts of Jiangwutang, and now Emperor Xuande has given Li Yuntian permission and provided such favorable conditions, which means that as long as they fight this battle, then their lives will change dramatically in the future.

Li Yuntian glanced at the changes in the faces of the sergeants at the scene with a cold expression, and saw the excited expressions on everyone's faces, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

In the face of the imminent battle with the King of Han, in the case of no superiority in troops and military literacy, Li Yuntian can only improve his own victory rate by boosting morale, and he wants to give the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army a belief in fighting the rebels.

This belief is to change the fate of those soldiers themselves and their families, in other words, to exchange their lives for the future of themselves and their families.

Li Yuntian didn't know how long this belief could support the Xiaowu army to fight with the elite of the Han King's rebels, but this was the only way he could think of now.

If Li Yuntian is given a year, no, it will only take half a year, and he is confident that he will be able to train a force that can compete with the elite of King Han's subordinates, but unfortunately the time given to him now is too short.

In order to intercept the King of Han, Li Yuntian brought all the old Xiaowu troops this time, and after the great battle in Donglin County, there were still more than 11,000 people left in the old Xiaowu army, which was still led by twelve thousand households.

The twelve thousand households of the Xiaowu Army are served by the martial arts instructors of the martial arts hall, and the deputy thousand households are served by the deputy martial arts instructors, and Li Yuntiantong guò These instructors and deputy instructors control the whole army.

Corresponding to the military flags of the Four Holy Beasts, the Xiaowu Army was divided into the Qinglong Battalion, the White Tiger Battalion, the Vermilion Bird Battalion and the Xuanwu Battalion, each of which had three thousand households under its jurisdiction, all of which were directly commanded by Li Yuntian.

Under the gaze of all the sergeants in the mountain pass, Li Yuntian carried out a brief flag-awarding ceremony, and distributed the four military flags one by one with a solemn expression.

After the flag-awarding ceremony, the sergeants of the four battalions of the Xiaowu Army quickly left under the leadership of their respective thousand households and went to ambush the vanguard of the Han Wang's rebels.

According to the report from the spies, the vanguard of the rebels was about 5,000 people, and they rushed to Heiniu Town under the leadership of Wang Bin, the former military governor of the rebels.

After learning the news, Li Yuntian decided to seize this rare fighter and concentrate the forces of the Xiaowu Army to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

In this way, it can not only boost the morale of the Xiaowu army, but also make the king of Han have scruples and dare not act rashly without knowing his strength, so as to buy time for the arrival of Wang Jian and other reinforcements.

Li Yuntian had already sent people to explore the terrain around Heiniu Town, and set the location of the ambush in a forest three miles outside Heiniu Town, and the road leading to Heiniu Town would pass through this forest, and the dense bushes in the woods were just used to hide.

As the four battalions of the Xiaowu Army went to ambush, Li Yuntian was only left with more than 500 cavalry guards left, and he sat under a big tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, secretly waiting for the ambush to start
