Liu Ziguang was anxious, because his two wives may have fallen into the hands of the enemy, Dong Xiaowan is such a charming big beauty Dai Wenpei, who has practiced martial arts all the year round, and is even more vigorous and upright, falling into the hands of this group of extremely cruel horse thieves, it is not a fat sheep, how miserable the consequences will be when they fall into the wolf's mouth, Liu Ziguang doesn't even dare to think about it, and there is such a lovely goddaughter Xue Xiangying, a three-year-old little doll, the horse thieves will definitely not take this burden, go northeast and west, maybe they will be cut down with a knife, thinking of this, Liu Ziguang slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse seemed to understand the master's thoughts, and the four hooves flew into the air, galloping on the Gobi。

Liu Ziguang's horse was fast, the soldiers behind him couldn't keep up with him, and a thousand horses were pulled into a long line and ran towards the area where the horse thieves were entrenched, and a sharp-eyed scout suddenly shouted: "The enemy is in front." Liu Ziguang raised his eyes and saw that there were a few miles ahead, and there was a group of people, and he hurried over, but after hundreds of people rushed over from the front post, a large force of cavalry sprang out from behind the sand dunes on both sides, separating the front team led by Liu Ziguang and the troops behind.

The ambush was not good, and then looked at the gang in front of them, and they also turned their horses' heads and rushed over, the horse thieves' equipment was good, and the armor was bright and the weapons were dazzling, and there were many people, plus there were almost 3,000 ambushes, but the redshirts were not in a hurry after being surrounded, and the soldiers took down the five wheel firearms on their shoulders, and waited for the enemy to charge, and then gave a head-on attack.

The soldier next to Liu Ziguang took off the firecracker, inserted the tail rod of the grenade into the mouth of the firecracker, and then pulled the hammer and raised the angle to aim at the enemy in front of him, just waiting for an order to cover these rampant horse thieves with firepower, but Liu Ziguang suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, it turned out that he saw his goddaughter Xue Xiangying in the opponent's camp, at this moment the little girl was being grabbed by a bearded man in his hand, wow, crying, if a round of grenades hit, it would definitely be burned.

The horse thieves behaved strangely, neither charging nor attacking with arrows, but only stopping far beyond the effective range of the firearms, and the redshirts did not dare to take the initiative to attack in the face of a strong enemy, not knowing what medicine they were selling in their gourds, and the two sides were at a stalemate. Suddenly, the bearded man who was grabbing Xue Xiangying urged the horse to run towards Liu Ziguang, and the guard was about to shoot when he raised his gun, but was stopped by Liu Ziguang: "Wait, this guy seems to have something to say." ”

The man galloped to a place twenty steps away from Liu Ziguang, rolled the saddle and dismounted, although he was still holding the child in his arms, but his movements were still hearty and handsome.

"The former commander of Shaanxi, Si Yu Linwei, the guerrilla Xue Chaoyi, visited the lord!" After the man finished speaking, he knocked his head three times.

Liu Ziguang did not dismount to support him, but said in a fierce voice: "Since you are from the official army, why are you a thief, and why do you know that it is my imperial army's westward expedition that is coming, disturbing the lives of my soldiers and plundering my women and children, and now you are playing Xuanxuer and others, what is your intention?" ”

The man named Xue Chaoyi said: "The general Ming Jian, the last general, is the former Shaanxi commander Si Guanke, under the command of Lord Guanke, since the invasion of Western Xia, the Western Army has sat idly by, and waited until we have all the casualties before leaving Tongguan, it is this practice of taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents that makes the brothers feel cold, and they come to this Hexi Corridor to be horse thieves, and when they hear that the Western Army has crossed, they want to take the opportunity to take revenge, who knows that the red-shirted army who accidentally injured the general is really ten thousand deaths, which is not enough to pay for it?" ”

Liu Ziguang said: "My redshirt army is the imperial court's western expeditionary army, isn't this a sowing discord? What are your intentions? Just talk about things, and what do you do with a little girl as a shield? You are considered to be a messenger before the army, my redshirt army has always been an upright murderer, and I will not take the opportunity to plot against you, so let this little child go! ”

The man said: "The general misunderstood that this child is actually the daughter of the last general. As he spoke, he turned out the jade pendant hanging around Xue Xiangying's neck and the jade pendant on his waist, and it was indeed a pair. Liu Ziguang took a closer look at this bearded man, although his face was full of dirty beard, but his eyebrows and eyes were still very handsome, and Xue Xiangying was very similar, it seemed that this time his character was explosive, but he was still worried about Dong Xiaowan, so they asked: "What about the two female dependents who were in the same car with the child?" ”

Xue Chaoyi said: "I heard that the two women are the treasures of the general, and the last general is naturally waiting for him, so I don't dare to neglect the general, please take a look." He waved his hand, and sure enough, he saw that Dong Xiaowan and Dai Wenpei had been gifted out of the horse thief army, and their whole bodies were in good condition and were not humiliated.

Liu Ziguang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Xue Chaoyi, you are lost, you know how to return to the good, but the crime of killing our soldiers can be forgiven, but now is the opportunity to use people, and put your head on your neck, waiting for you and your subordinates to make meritorious service for the country to kill the enemy, so that you can make up for it." ”

Xue Chaoyi was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed down again, kowtowed three times, and turned his head and shouted: "General Zhengxi is willing to recruit us!" His voice was very loud, and when he heard it, the horse thieves all shouted for joy when they heard it, and they dismounted, and they seemed to be happy in their hearts.

sacrificed more than 400 recruits in exchange for 3,000 elite cavalry, this deal is quite suitable, and it also solves the potential safety hazards of the grain road in the Hexi Corridor in one fell swoop, it can really be described as killing two birds with one stone, Liu Ziguang disrupted this group of horse thieves, divided into two forces, one was led by Xue Chaoyi to follow him to Jiayuguan to fight, and the other was led by Luo Xiaohu, the second master of horse thieves who was familiar with the terrain of the Hexi Corridor, and continued to stay in the local area to maintain the safety of the logistics road of the Red Shirt Army.

This horse thief is the famous Bantian cloud horse thief gang, composed of more than a dozen small horse thieves plus part of the original Shaanxi army, they rely on big businessmen like Wei Chiguang to collude to rob unfamiliar caravans, eat the filial piety of those acquaintance businessmen to live, but also often face the encirclement and suppression of the army, although the income is quite rich, but it belongs to the kind of lifestyle with the head pinned to the belt of the trousers, and there is a lot of silver and jewelry, but there is no place to spend it, at most, you can only disguise yourself and go to Lanzhou City to visit the kiln, but recently this kind of life is difficult to maintain, Liu Ziguang banned the merchants, the horse thieves have no source of income, and the poor are about to be pants, just in time to catch up with the red shirt army westward The horse thieves who are closed to the news do not know whose team this is, see the camel team and bigThe car was red-eyed, so he grabbed it anyway.

Xue Chaoyi and Luo Xiaohu took the lead in eliminating a flank cavalry team of one hundred and ten people, changed their clothes and went to attack a transport team behind, this time they could pick up a big bargain, and there were women in the convoy! The horse thieves, who had been in the desert for a long time and had never smelled a feminine smell in their eight lifetimes, attacked like crazy and quickly wiped out the power of the guards, but in the process of snatching women, they suffered a big loss, Dai Wenpei shot dozens of horse thieves with hidden weapons, until Luo Xiaohu captured Xue Xiangying as a hostage, and then forced Dai Nuxia to put down his sword.

Originally, the matter should have ended in tragedy, but fortunately in the misfortune, Xue Chaoyi recognized the jade pendant on the little girl's neck, and then looked carefully, isn't this little girl his daughter who stayed at home in Weinan, Shaanxi! He immediately ordered to stop, and asked Dong Xiaowan, who was huddled in the car and was about to commit suicide, about the ins and outs of the matter, what kind of person Dong Xiaowan was, and immediately realized that the turning point was coming, and the Dong family, who had been on the Qinhuai River for many years, was not eloquent, Liu Ziguang rescued Xue Xiangying, killed thousands of Xixia soldiers, and avenged the story of the people of Weinan, and the story was full of emotion, and the horse thieves sighed, Xue Chaoyi was even more tearful, and his relatives died in the hands of the Xixia people！

Seeing that the speech had an effect, Dong Xiaowan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, called on the horse thieves to join the army to serve the country, and was willing to help guarantee that Xue Chaoyi was a man in the end, and immediately agreed to accept Zhao'an, he deliberately left traces to let the red-shirted army catch up with him, and then rode out of the battle to surrender to Liu Ziguang, and found a glorious future for his three thousand horse thieves.

Half a day, the cloud horse thief gang is the strongest horse thief in the Hexi corridor, with their assistance, this thousands of miles of logistics route, you don't have to worry about being robbed, but also attracted many other gangs of horse thieves to come to defect, for a time the red shirt soldiers are mighty and excited, expanding five thousand elite cavalry, these people are all veterans who are familiar with the natural environment of the west, in addition to not knowing how to use firearms, the discipline is slightly worse, than the red shirt these new recruits are much stronger.

The Red Shirt Army advanced to Zhangye, which was hundreds of miles east of Jiayu Pass, and finally approached the troops of Wusangui and Liu Zongmin, who were surrounded by the Western Xia Army, at this time Jiayu Pass had lost the Western Xia Army, and the commander drove straight in, surrounded the remnants of the Ming army in Zhangye City, and bombarded the Ming Army with return artillery every day, relying on excellent firearms and desperately resisting, if it were not for a belief in persistence, I am afraid that the city would have been broken and people would have died.

This belief comes from Liu Ziguang, from the Red Shirt Army, although the relationship between the Western Army and the Red Shirt Army is not good, but after all, everyone is Han people, they are all Ming Army, in the face of foreign enemies or a family, Wu Sangui has to inform the soldiers in Zhangye City every day of the advance of the Red Shirt Army, saying that if you hold on to how many days, reinforcements will arrive, in fact, the radio station in the army has long been broken, Wu Sangui is just to encourage morale.

Confidence is the source of strength, this sentence is not false at all, with Wu Sangui's fake hope, the soldiers of the Western Army persevered day after day, gunpowder, guns and bullets ran out, and they used the stones and arrows thrown by the enemy to hit back, the knife was blunt, the gun was broken, and the enemy was driven off the city with fists and teeth, and when the military food was gone, they ate horse meat, rats, and corpses, and the city wall collapsed, and in the middle of the night, they were mixed with cold water and gravel to build up, fortunately, the winter of Zhangye was extremely cold, and the city built with ice was stronger than the city of bricks and stones, and the soldiers of the Western Army held Zhangye City in this way, preventing the eastward advance of the Western Xia army。
