Yan Hong heard Yun Chuqi say this, nodded and said, "What Brother Yun said is also reasonable. It would not be good if the Tartars bluffed and lured me into an ambush. It's just that if the south is really a reinforcement from the Great Wall, and we don't move here, but let them fight alone, how can this be good? ”

Yu Dayou said: "I have a plan for this matter. All I need to do is lead the Fujian army battalion, go out of the south gate with great fanfare, beat drums and shout, and slowly march in the direction of the Tartars. In this way, even if it is a Tartar's strategy, as long as I don't go deeper, he will not get good. And if someone really comes to relieve the siege, the Tartar will be rushed by me like this, and the rear will inevitably be chaotic, at least I must be afraid of being hit in the back of the abdomen. ”

Yan Hong even called it a clever plan. At that moment, Yu Dayou led 2,000 Fujian soldiers from his headquarters, drove the chariot battalion, lined up out of the city, quickly lined up in the south of the city, followed with great fanfare, and marched south. Ma Fang also sent 500 iron horsemen to follow in the chariot camp formation as a mobile force.

Yan Hong was at the head of the city, and saw Yu Dayou's Fujian soldiers leaving the city, staying a mile away, suddenly the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, the torches were widely spread, and several cannons were used to shoot into the Mongolian military camp. At this moment, the chaos in the Mongol camp was even more intense, and it seemed to spread step by step. In addition to the sound of trumpets and shouts of killing, there were bursts of fire from guns and small cannons, and it seemed that the fight was very strong. At this time, there was no moon in the sky, and it was impossible to see clearly from miles away, so he could only guess there.

After about another meal, I saw that the fire in the Mongolian camp had burned through, and a group of cavalry actually rushed to the front of Yu Dayou's car camp. After a moment's pause, he rounded the camp and galloped towards Marienburg. After a short time, they had arrived at the south gate of Marenburg. But I saw that this group of cavalry was about two or three hundred people. At the moment, a young man said in a loud voice: "Master Qincha." Uncle Ma! I am the son of Ma Lu, the deputy chief soldier of Datong, Ma Jin is also! Open the door! He said. While holding a torch to shine on his face.

Yan Hong glanced at Ma Fang, and Ma Fang said urgently: "Qin Cha, this person is Ma Jin, the last general knows, I answered into Kou a few times ago, and I also worked hard together in Wanquan Right Guard and Tartar. Hurry up and open the door. ”

When Yan Hong heard this, he immediately ordered to open the gate of Malianbao and put this group of cavalry in. But I saw that everyone was sweaty. Many of the soldiers had blood on their faces. Na Ma Jin turned over and dismounted, and said, "I've seen Master Qincha, I've seen Uncle Ma, and I've seen all the bosses." He saw that Yan Hong was young, dressed with extraordinary bearing, surrounded by many brocade guards on the left and right, and Ma Fang was standing beside him, so he naturally knew that this must be Wang Mingqin.

Yan Hong said: "The general is exempt from courtesy. Tell me how you got here? ”

Ma Jin said: "Back to the words of the Great Master of Qincha, the news of the siege of the Great Master of Qincha a few days ago spread everywhere. The governor Yang Shun also summoned the generals. Dispatch troops to rescue in three ways. However, he himself led the East Route Army to the Yellow Wolf Slope, but he did not move. My father was wounded in a bloody battle with the Tartars at the beginning of the year. I was sick in bed. After hearing this, he helped the sick and led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, drove directly to the right guard, and galloped north to help. Now they have entered the camp of the Tartars. ”

Yan Hong was overjoyed and said, "Very good, very good." General Ma is loyal and brave, and he deserves to be a pillar of the border court of the country. He thought to himself, it seems that what Governor Lu recommended was indeed right, this Ma Fang and Ma Lu are both fierce generals who dare to fight ruthlessly. It seems that after the Yan family transferred Yang Shun away, they wanted to reuse these two. ”

At this time, Ma Fang said on the side: "Qincha, since General Ma is sick and brings his troops here, we should attack immediately, give the Tartars a flanking attack, and take the opportunity to relieve the siege of Malian Fort." ”

Yan Hong nodded again and again, and Zhang Qingyan said: "General Ma, I don't know how many soldiers and horses Ma Zongrong brought with him this time?" ”

Ma Jin couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the handsome woman beside Qin Cha who actually opened his mouth to ask about the military, and replied urgently: "My father led the army and horses of the headquarters to set out the camp, with about 2,000 horses and 9,000 infantry. ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "I see that there are no less than 20,000 or 30,000 Tartar cavalry trapped on the periphery of Malian Fort, even if you add the defenders of Malian Fort, you are still outnumbered. If you want to take the opportunity to break the siege, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. ”

Bian Yun Chu said: "Lord Qincha, generals, the contemptible people have an idea. Recently, in Malianbao, the contemptible people discussed a lot with General Ma Fang, and they also learned a little about the war in the north. In previous years, the Tartars sent troops, mostly in the autumn, with grass and yellow horses, and did not worry about provisions. Now it is a harsh winter, and the grass and trees outside the plug are all dry, where are the weeds? Therefore he must have carried his own forage. The Tartars came from the north, and the contemptible people observed the movement of their soldiers and horses in the city for a few days, and most of the places where the grass was planted were also in the north of the city. At this time, General Ma's army rushed from the south to relieve the siege, and when the Tartars heard the news, they must transfer the main force to the south of the city to intercept it, and the north was empty. If we take advantage of the situation to sneak attack......"

Ma Fang applauded loudly: "General Yun, are you going to take the opportunity to attack the north of the city and burn the forage of the Tartars?" Clever plan, brilliant plan! And if we make such a fuss in the north, the main force of the Tartars in the south must also be nervous, so avoiding the real and attacking the false, and beheading it, it is really a masterpiece of soldiers! ”

Yan Hong was also very happy to hear it, he still understood the principle that the soldiers and horses had not moved, and the grain and grass went first. If he can really burn the forage of the Mongols, how long are he afraid of holding on? He immediately clapped his hands and said, "Brother Yun is worthy of being familiar with the art of war, so let's do it!" General Ma, what kind of sneak attack method, you and Brother Yun discussed it. You can also see how many soldiers and horses you want to transfer. As long as you stay enough to defend the city, you will be fine. He turned to Liang Rufei again and said, "Brother Liang, you and Brother Shang Ziqiang are also going with them, and they will be dispatched by General Houma." You are all strong in martial arts, and you must be able to use it to steal camps and rob villages and set fire to food this night. ”

Liang Rufei said: "Young Master, if we are all gone, how can you be good if you lack guards by your side?" ”

Yan Hongyi waved his hand: "Don't worry, if you can burn the grain and grass of the tartars, what more guards do I need?" Besides, with Qingyan here, nothing can happen. Liang Rufei said: "In this way, I am obeying the order." Yan Feng, Yan Fu, Yan Jing, Yan Guo, a few of you will defend the eldest young master for me. Yan Jing and the others arched their hands and said, "Mr. Liang, why do you need to order this." ”

At this time, Ma Fang muttered to Yun Chuqi on the side for a while, and turned to Yan Hong and said, "Yan Qincha, without further ado, we will send troops immediately." I personally led 1,000 cavalry, 1,000 infantry, plus Mr. Liang and General Shang, to attack the Mongol camp in the north. The soldiers are fine but not numerous, and if these 2,000 people are used well, there is still a lot to be done to disrupt the Tatar stockade. Another 1,000 infantry, plus hundreds of cattle, lit torches, followed the cavalry of Ma Jin's nephew, and then went out of the south gate, with great fanfare, one to further attract the attention of the Tartars, and the other to gallop to the aid of General Yu Dayou, and to bring General Ma Lu's troops in. In this way, there are still three or four thousand border troops in the city and your Jinyi guard, which will be handed over to General Yun Chuqi to be dispatched to guard the fortress and guard the Qincha, just in case. ”

Yan Hong nodded and said, "It's good, it's good." Then General Ma, go quickly, Hugh will delay. ”

In a short time, Ma Fang and Ma Jin went out of the city in the north and south. Yan Hong turned to the watchtower on the north side of Malianbao and looked into the distance. At this moment, the two famous generals in the city, Yu Dayou went to the south of the city, Ma Fang was going to the north of the city, and none of Yan Hong's two backers were there, so he was inevitably worried. Fortunately, Yun Chuqi dispatched troops, Zhang Qingyan was on the side, and his personal safety was always not afraid.

After going for about half an hour, suddenly the Mongolian camp in the north was also chaotic like a swarm of bees exploding the nest, with firelight and killing sounds mixed and circling. Yan Hong's heart was also like fifteen buckets of water. There was chaos in the north for a while, but when I saw a few fires, they suddenly burned, and in the blink of an eye, they burned into one piece, and they actually formed a continuous sky-high flame.

Zhang Qingyan was on the side and said softly: "Xianggong, it seems that Mr. Yun's plan has been completed." ”

Yan Hong was overjoyed, pulled Zhang Qingyan over, and kissed her lightly: "Yes, yes, this time I burned the haystack of the Tartars, and watched them eat horse manure to survive!" ”

At this time, the thousands of men and horses in the Marlian Fort also saw the fire, and everyone shouted with joy and cheered. After a while, I don't know who took the lead, and I actually sang Yan Hongjiao's "Loyal to the Country" again. The throats of thousands of people followed, and suddenly they converged into a grand sound, which shook the sky above Marenburg:

"The horseshoe goes south and people look north, and people look north and the grass is green and yellow and the dust is flying......"

On the occasion of this new year, when the night will break, the lonely city outside the plug is surging. The soldiers fought bloodily, and the battle song in the city was loud. Yun Chuqi sighed with emotion: "Qincha, your song is really majestic. I think that even the soldiers who fought in the north and south will be enthusiastic and redouble their efforts when they hear the song of Malianbao. ”

Yan Hong nodded: "Brother Yun, what you said is too good." Brothers in the border army, brothers in brocade, the big guys all raised their voices and roared with horns! Let the brothers who play with the Tartars outside the city also hear this song, and know that we are united with them to fight against the Tartars and defend the country! (To be continued......)
