Chapter 358: Dismounting

(

"My lord, our army has launched an attack on the rebels!"

At about the end of the hour, that is, at about eleven o'clock in the morning, a herald came galloping on horseback, jumped off his horse in front of Li Yuntian, and knelt on one knee and shouted a loud message. Copy this address to view 62%78%73%2e%63%63

"Enter town!" Li Yuntian clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the tree and rested, when he heard this, he opened his eyes, got up and stretched lazily, and then ordered Li Daniu on the side in a deep voice, "Block the road to Cangzhou City, and don't let the rebels in Cangzhou City know the news here!" ”

"Come with me!" Hearing this, Li Daniu immediately waved his hand at the surrounding guards, and led more than 200 people to block the road from Heiniu Town to Cangzhou City.

Li Yuntian moved his neck, turned on his horse, and ran towards Black Bull Town surrounded by the remaining more than three hundred guards.

At this time, a large number of people had gathered at the entrance of Heiniu Town, chattering and talking, and a music team was methodically adjusting the instruments.

In front of the crowd were the gentry and wealthy men of Heiniu Town, led by the richest man in the town, Wang Dashan, and a stout rebel Baihu, ready to welcome the arrival of the Han King.

King Han is the dignified uncle of the Ming Emperor, and he may be the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty in the future, how noble his identity is, these gentry and rich men in Heiniu Town want to take the opportunity to touch the nobility of the King of Han.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Just as the people at the entrance of the town were buzzing and talking, a man suddenly pointed to the avenue in the distance and said, only to see the road dusty and a large group of cavalry speeding towards him.

"Quick, play!" Seeing this, Wang Dashan thought that the rebels of the King of Han had arrived, and hurriedly shouted at Leban on the side, and then sorted out the clothes on his body and prepared to meet the arriving rebels.

Everyone at the scene stretched out their heads and looked at the avenue, secretly talking about each other, all wanting to know what King Han looked like, and heard that he had the demeanor of Emperor Yongle.

"Huh?" Suddenly, the stout Baihu had a surprised look on his face, and he couldn't help but reach out and "rub" his eyes, and as the cavalry on the opposite avenue approached, he found that the knight on horseback was actually wearing the clothes of the Ming army.

"Are these scouts?" Then, a thought came to the mind of the stout Baihu.

Since the army of the King of Han was already close at hand, he would not have thought that the Ming army would appear here at this time, and thought that it was the scout force of the rebels.

After all, dozens of miles north of Cangzhou is the territory of the Ming army, and if the troops of the King of Han want to go north, they must first explore the reality of the Ming army in front, so it is logical to change into the clothes of the Ming army. The update is the fastest and most stable

Amid the cheers of the people at the entrance of the town, Li Yuntian took the lead in front of everyone, and the guards behind him lined up in a fan shape, looking coldly at the welcoming people.

"This lord, it's been hard all the way, the town has prepared wine and food, please come into the town and enjoy it." Seeing this, the stout hundred households took the lead in stepping forward, and said to Li Yuntian, who was in the lead, "I don't know when the prince will arrive?" I'm so prepared! ”

"The King of Han is no more than fifteen miles away from here." Li Yuntian glanced at the stout hundred-hundred ”

"What do you mean, sir?" I heard that the King of Han is fifteen miles away from Heiniu Town, and the stout hundred households calculated that an hour later, that is, before one o'clock in the afternoon, the King of Han should be able to come to Heiniu Town, but the next moment he was slightly stunned, and looked at Li Yuntian with some confusion, and did not understand the meaning of Li Yuntian's later sentence.

"This official is the governor of Shandong under the emperor's imperial order, and he came to quell the rebellion by order, and the king of Han was trapped by this official and couldn't come to the town!" Li Yuntian sneered and said in a deep voice.

"They are officers and soldiers!" The stout Baihu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he brushed it and pulled out the waist knife.

At the same time, a crossbow arrow shot out from the crowd behind Li Yuntian, and with a pop, it pierced the chest of the stout Baihu and pierced through.

With a hula, the knights on horseback drew out the crossbows they were carrying on their backs, quickly installed the crossbow arrows, and coldly aimed the crossbow arrows at the people and rebel soldiers at the entrance of the town.

"The governor has an order, and those who descend will not die!" A martial arts instructor who followed Li Yuntian raised the crossbow in his hand and shouted loudly to the panicked crowd at the entrance of the town. [35515671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 355 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 358

At this time, the stout Baihu first glanced at the crossbow arrow on his chest in disbelief, and then spit out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth, and his body fell to the ground with a crooked body, and after a few convulsions, he was silent, and his body was quickly stained red with blood.

"Spare your life!" Looking at the murderous bow-wielding guards in front of them, the panicked civilians and rebel soldiers knelt down one after another and begged for mercy.

For the people of Heiniu Town, this scene in front of them is like a dream, originally everyone came to welcome the King of Han, but unexpectedly, it was indeed the governor of Daming Shandong.

"This official knows that you are all peaceful people, and you are forced to submit to the rebels, so as long as you do your best for the official army, then this official will not embarrass you." Li Yuntian glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and said quietly, "Who is Wang Dashan, accompany this official into the town." ”

"The adults are serious, the villain is the king of the four seas, how dare he call himself a good person in front of the adults." Wang Dashanren, who was kneeling next to the stout guard's corpse, saw Li Yuntian call his name, he trembled with fright, reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, got up with a smile, nodded and said to Li Yuntian.

Wang Sihai's heart, whose face was pale, was now extremely frightened, not only had the stout hundred households been living in his house, but he also took care of the matter of welcoming the King of Han today, if he was recognized as a fellow party of the King of Han, then he would suffer a catastrophe.

Wang Sihai couldn't figure out why Li Yuntian suddenly appeared here, there was no warning in advance, which made him "messy" for a while, and he didn't know what to do.

Li Yuntian glanced at Wang Sihai, who was frightened, and entered the town with his legs between the belly of the horse, Wang Sihai did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed in front to lead Li Yuntian.

As the richest man in Heiniu Town, Wang Sihai's house is the largest and most luxurious in the town, and it is a large courtyard with several entrances and exits, which is very rare in this kind of town.

In order to catch the wind and wash the dust for King Han, Wang Sihai has already made the cook at home ready, as long as King Han arrives, he will prepare wine and food.

After entering Wang's house, Li Yuntian sat down in the hall in the front yard, and asked people to take "Twenty-four History" from Wang Sihai's study and read it intently.

Wang Sihai originally wanted to let the kitchen open, but it could be seen that Li Yuntian had no intention of eating, so he had to put this thought down and carefully wait in the room.

Soon, Heiniu Town was controlled by the guards brought by Li Yuntian, and the rebel soldiers under the stout Baihu were frightened stupid by the sudden Ming army, and they surrendered one after another, obediently becoming prisoners.

At noon, someone came to Wang's house to report to Li Yuntian that after a fierce battle, the four battalions of the Xiaowu Army annihilated Wang Bin's vanguard troops, except for Wang Bin who fled on horseback under the escort of dozens of personal soldiers, the rest of the rebels were either captured or killed.

The sergeant of the Xiaowu Army escorted the long line of captives into the town of Black Bull, attracting the townspeople to watch the excitement on the side of the road with great interest, and the steaming meals originally prepared for the rebels in the town were naturally enjoyed by the people of the Xiaowu Army.

Because they had just won a big victory, all the soldiers were in a good mood, they ate happily one by one, and after the meal, they also played the free card to pass the time.

The thousands of households of the four major battalions of the Xiaowu Army rushed to Wang's house, and Li Yuntian had already asked Wang Sihai to prepare wine and food to celebrate their achievements.

This ambush of the rebels can be said to have suffered a big loss, including Wang Bin, who led the army, no one thought that they would be ambushed by the Ming army here, so they seemed a little casual when they marched, and they all thought of going to Heiniu Town for lunch.

Facing the Xiaowu army that came out from both sides of the road, the rebels were 'chaotic' in an instant, and were quickly dispersed by the Ming army, which was more than twice as numerous.

The Ming army divided and surrounded the rebels, making it impossible for the rebels to escape, and eventually they were either killed or surrendered.

Wang Bin originally wanted to organize troops to counterattack and fight to the death with the ambushed Ming army, after all, he commanded a well-trained elite rebel army.

But then he realized that his idea was just sudden, because the combat effectiveness of the ambush Ming army in front of him was very strong, and he organized two counterattacks in a row and was beaten back.

In the end, Wang Bin realized that the general trend had gone, so he had no choice but to break through with people, and was surrounded and intercepted by the Ming army along the way.

In this ambush battle, the Xiaowu army killed more than 2,000 enemies, captured more than 2,000 people, and suffered less than 2,000 casualties.

In a village five miles away from Heiniu Town, in the room of a large family with red bricks and green tiles, King Han looked at a map on the table with an expressionless face, his brows furrowed.

The generals in the room looked at King Han with stern expressions, waiting for his instructions.

At the front of the generals was kneeling Wang Bin, covered in blood, with a bandage on his forehead, his head drooping, and he looked dejected.

King Han's eyes fell on the Black Bull Town on the map, and he really couldn't understand why the Ming army appeared in the Black Bull Town, and there were so many of them, that they actually ate all his vanguard troops.

"Where do you think those officers and soldiers came from?" After a long time, King Han turned around and asked Wang Bin who was kneeling there in a deep voice.

"Lord Wang, those officers and soldiers are fierce in battle, and they think that they are the main force of the officers and soldiers." Wang Bin groaned for a moment and replied seriously.

"The main force of the official army is in Texas, how can they fly here?" When King Han heard this, he immediately sneered, thinking that Wang Bin was exaggerating and trying to shirk responsibility.

"Lord Wang, the words of the lowly position are true, in addition to the main force of the official army, the lowly position really doesn't know that there is such a strong combat effectiveness of the official army." Wang Bin suddenly straightened his chest when he heard this, and said with a resolute expression
