Hulin Chi led a thousand iron horsemen and went out of the city at night.

Take the east gate of Shanzhou, go southeast, people and horses are all titles. At that time, to the outside of the sheep's horn.

Sheephorn Village is a big village, the people have many Liu and Li two surnames, the heroes are strong, there are 500 young soldiers, and there are barriers around the Zhuangzi building, and there are trenches dug outside. Within a radius of tens of miles, it is one of the strongest villages. This is the reason why the Yuan army chose this place as the third cantonment.

Now, coupled with the defensive measures added by the Yuan army later, although the position is not yet complete, it is relatively more and more solid.

Hu Linchi did not enter the village directly, stopped far away, and watched for a moment.

Seeing the drizzle, a huge Zhuangzi in the distance was pitch black, and only the edge of the point could be faintly seen; Quietly, and there was no sound of half of the people. Hu Linchi was suspicious in his heart, and secretly thought: "Listening to the big marshals, Ba Busha obviously knows that thieves are coming, why is Zhuang Zhong silent?" Strange! Strange! ”

The one stationed in Giethoorn is the foot general Babusha in the Linfen reinforcements.

Babusha, this person, is different from Hu Linchi, including Gui Gao, Guan Bao, He Zongzhe, Guo Yun and most of the Chahan generals, he is not a descendant of Chahan, unlike Hu Linchi, he began to follow Chahan a long time ago, and he was originally a general of the "official army", and later returned to Chahan for transfer.

Therefore, his loyalty to Chahan is far worse than that of Hu Linchi and others. In the original history, he should have been beheaded by Chahan in October last year because of his disobedience, but since Deng She established himself in Yidu, many histories have slowly changed direction, so he can live to this day. ——,, however, his disloyalty to Chahan is not to say that he is also hostile to the Red Turban, but his allegiance is not Chahan, but Emperor Yuan.

Hu Linchi was suspicious in his heart, and he couldn't help hesitating, so he summoned two junior colonels over and instructed: "Let's sneak to the village to find out how the situation is." He also scattered the scouts far away to find out where Chang Yuchun had gone.

The two colonels wrapped the horses' hooves in cotton cloth and took the orders to go. Hu Linchi waited quietly, and after a while, he saw the two of them turn back, and said: "Back to the general, the villain waited in front of the village, someone caught him, entered the village, and saw General Babusha." General Babusha said that he already knew what was going to happen to the thief; Therefore, there is no candle flame in the village, and the sergeant is in ambush, but it is specially to lure the thief to come forward so that he can fight. ”

"I see."

Chen Ming, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "It's rare! Babusha also has this wisdom. ......, General, let's enter the village now and meet with Babusha first; Or just go to the ambush site? ”

The rain drenched the armor and felt a little cool.

Hu Linchi tightened his cloak and said, "We have a lot of people, if we go to the village first, it will inevitably leak the news." Just go straight to the ambush place. ”

Even though he said that, he didn't leave. After waiting for a while, when Tanma returned, he asked where Chang Yuchun was now, and it was only thirty miles away from Zhuangzi. Then, he ordered the two colonels to go to Zhuangzhong again, tell them to Babusha, and make an appointment: Hearing the war drums and three links, please go out of Zhuang to help in the war.

After receiving the reply from Babusha, all arrangements were made, and then he led the army, bypassing Giethoorn, and heading to the predetermined ambush site.

The chosen ambush site is seven or eight miles south of Giethoorn, on the east and west sides of the avenue, separated by a few miles, and there is a hill in each. Behind the hills, there are trees on each side. It's just right for an ambush. Moreover, this hill is not large, and the middle zone is very open, more than ten miles wide, which is also very suitable for cavalry conflicts.

1,000 iron horsemen, divided into two teams, ambushed 500 men on one side.

Hu Lin Chizi led a team, Chen Ming and Dong Zhongyi led a team, each ambushed and stopped, in the rain and rustle, they all looked at the road from afar, waiting for the spring to pass.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, I saw a troop of military horses marching from afar, and without any concealment, from beginning to end, the torches were bright, and they were pulled out for several miles, reflecting the rainy night. I faintly saw that in front of the team, there was a general, sitting firmly on a dragon and a war horse, surrounded by a hundred and ten people, carrying a spear upside down, and going first.

Chen Ming and Dong Zhongyi were ambushed in Luxi, and when they saw this, they were not surprised. Dong Zhongyi said: "I have long heard that the thief is famous in Jiangnan, and he is one of the most powerful people under the command of the Zhu thief. But unexpectedly, it was so arrogant! Marching late at night, rushing to attack the enemy village, actually lighting torches, swaggering, too much to put us in the eyes! ”

General Chen Mingyong, when the Iron Cavalry Valley, Guan Bao and Hu Linchi defeated Guan Duo, he was one of the forwards, the first to fall into the enemy's formation; In addition, in the battle of Jinan last year, Deng Chengzhi was seriously injured, and he was also one of the main forces. Although the spring is fierce, the south of the Yangtze River is far away from the north, as the saying goes: it is better to be famous than to meet. But he didn't pay attention to it at all, sneered, and said: "If you are fierce in Jiangnan, you think that there is no one in our north? Act recklessly! ”

Pinching the spear, viciously, he squeezed a sentence out of his teeth and said, "Hmph! My spear is hungry and thirsty! ”

Chen Ming rubbed his hands, looked at Wu Jun carefully, saw them getting closer and closer, and said: "Chang Thief is more than arrogant!" Lao Dong, you see, his brigade marched, but the horses were only released two or three miles away! How different is this child walking on the lively street with a heavy treasure in his arms? It's simply taking the initiative to lure us to sneak attack! ”

When Dong Zhongyi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and repeated: "Lure us to attack? Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of the drum on the other side. Chen Ming stood up and said, "A drum, the general will go to battle." Two drums, our army went to war. Brethren, mount your horses and prepare to charge! ”

Behind the opposite hills, accompanied by the sound of drums, shouting and killing suddenly, Hu Lin Chi took the front and led the team to rush to the avenue. While rushing, he shouted: "I Emperor Yuan General Hu Linchi is here!" Are they red thieves still not to die? The five hundred horsemen of his retinue also shouted: "They red thieves are not yet allowed to die!" The cry vibrated the trees.

The five hundred cavalry charged, not to mention that there were not many people, and the momentum was very large, especially in the rainy night, it was like a black dragon, breaking through the rain curtain, bringing up countless muddy water, and in the night, rolling forward.

After looking at the Tiger Forest Chibu, Dong Zhongyi went to see Wu Jun again. At first glance, his heart was beating and he exclaimed: "Not good! ”

But when he saw the swaggering and seemingly defenseless Wu army suddenly approaching the enemy's attack, he was not panicked. In the gap between Hu Linchi's rush over, the general who took the lead was calm and commanding, and the soldiers on the periphery squatted down with the order and raised their shields one after another; The soldiers inside either set up their spears or stretched out their bows and crossbows, and concentrated on shrinking. In the blink of an eye, a circle had formed.

did not return to the army, and the commander of the Wu army, who was still at the forefront, personally waved the small flag and spit out a word: "Put!" ”

Arrows rained down.

Dong Zhongyi shouted: "Oops! It seems that he fell for the trick of Wu thieves. ”

"What's the scheme? Even if the Wu thief is prepared, he is all foot soldiers, how can he resist us and ride forward? At most, let them die a little later. Chen Mingyuan opened his eyes, asked Dong Zhongyi, and said, "Old Dong, you are literate, help me see, is the flag behind the Wu thief the word 'Chang'?" ”

Dong Zhongyi nodded.

Knowing that the commander of the Wu army a few miles away in front of him was indeed Chang Yuchun, Chen Ming couldn't hold back and said, "Why hasn't the general beaten the second drum yet?" ”

Two-way drum sounds!

Hu Linchi is not stupid, or when he rushed out of the hills, he didn't realize that Wu Jun was already on guard, but as soon as he saw Wu Jun's methodical preparations for war, of course, he knew that Chang Yuchun had taken precautions.

Moreover, he rushed to the front, and he saw more clearly than Dong Zhongyi and Chen Ming, the Wu army in front of him looked like the team was not short from a distance, like the main force of the Wu army, but at this time, under the contraction, it was clear that there were only at most a thousand people.

Five thousand Wu troops crossed the river. At this moment, there are only about a thousand people here. Where did the rest of the four thousand go? Yes, you need to leave some guards behind, but you can't use 4,000 people, right? Hu Linchi has been on the battlefield for a long time, and suddenly knew the plan, and thought: "I wanted to encircle and annihilate the thieves, but I didn't want to be surrounded and annihilated by the thieves!" Therefore, he immediately made a decision and decided not to hide his strength anymore, but planned to concentrate his forces first and crush the enemy in front of him. Therefore, he ordered his own soldiers to give the order and beat the second drum.

The sound of drums shook the night, and Chen Ming and Dong Zhongyi led the crowd to kill.

"A thousand rides take a thousand steps. Even if there is an ambush behind the thief, discipline him too late to come to the rescue! Braving the arrows and stones, Hu Linchi thought so, walking by horse, breathing in just a few miles.

Because the distance was too close, the Wu army was not able to shoot many arrows, and before entering the enemy's formation, he peeked behind him, left and right, and noticed that there were not many Yuan troops who seemed to have fallen from the horse, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cheered up, and shouted again: "I Emperor Yuan General Hu Lin Chi is also!" Two thousand iron horsemen are here, and the red thief is not yet dead? This time, not only the 500 people he brought shouted, but also Chen Ming and Dong Zhongyi. The sound of killing shook the sky, the iron rider was like a dragon, running around, carrying the wind and rain, and the momentum was even stronger.

With only a thousand Wu troops, and they were in a hurry, they really couldn't resist for long.

Under the banner of the word "Chang", the commander of the Wu army led by the team will leap on the horse with a spear, separate the retinue of the hundred horses, fifty horsemen to meet Hu Linchi, fifty horsemen to meet Chen Ming and Dong Zhongyi, bring more than ten horses, stand in front of the formation, turn to the soldiers, and shout: "The night rain and the road are muddy, the Tartars are all cavalry, and they are not durable to fight." The reinforcement of our army will come soon, and we only need to hold out for half an hour! Today, when the monarchs show my majesty! Listen to the order: Remove the bow and arrow, hit it with a short hand, and the reviewer will be killed! ”

After the order, he opened his bow and shot the enemy, and three arrows hit three times. After the three arrows, the Yuan army had come to the front, so they took the lead in throwing away their bows and arrows, put down their spears, and raised their short mallets to meet the battle. The first one to meet was the ninth commander of a Yuan army, who did not wait for the other party's Changge to stab, urged the horse to leap straight, and passed it sideways, and the hammer fell with his hand, and he had already knocked it off the horse. The wind sounded in his ears, and the Yuan Rider rushed from the side, and without turning his head, he let go of the spear that was stabbing him, grabbed it casually, pulled the Yuan pawn closer, and then backhanded a mallet to knock him to the ground.

Fight left and right, unstoppable.

Hu Lin Chi rushed to the point, and the steel spear poked out, with the help of the speed of the galloping horse, the momentum was like electricity, and he took advantage of the weakness to enter, and almost stabbed this Wu Jiang in the chest. But seeing that this person was at the last moment, he raised the short mallet and blocked the spear, and when he was about to counterattack, Hulin Chima was fast, but he had already rushed over, leaving a praise: "Good martial arts!" Turning back and asking, "Is the thief a thief just a regular spring?" ”

Before General Wu could answer, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Chang thief leaves, eat me a shot!" "I turned my head to look and saw that it was the general Chen Ming. Chen Ming was brave and brave, and he was not satisfied with the prestige of Chang Yuchun, so it was easy to wait for the second drum to come, and then he hurried over, wanting to challenge him and decide the winner.

General Wu was in front and Chen Ming was behind, and the two were less than a stone's throw apart.

This distance is no longer enough for General Wu to turn around, if he turns his back to the enemy like this, no matter how good he fights, he is afraid that he will fall behind. And more than ten of General Wu's entourage were divided by the Yuan pawn, although they were close at hand, it was difficult to help. A good Wu general, busy and not chaotic, turned the horse's head, avoided the Yuan cavalry brigade coming in front, and ran towards the north of the road. Chen Ming raised his spear, then chased after him, shouting, "Rats! Where to go? ”

General Wu ran to a sparsely populated place and deliberately slowed down his horse. Chen Ming arrived, stabbed the spear directly, and Wu Jiang was in the back. But seeing that this Wu general turned sideways lightly, he avoided it, repeated the old technique, threw away the short mallet, grabbed the body of the gun, and pulled it forward. - Because Chen Ming's spear was stabbed to his right, and he was hiding to the left, he had to throw away the mallet on his right hand to catch the gun.

Chen Ming couldn't help himself, and was pulled parallel by him, slightly behind half a horse's head. This Wu general then stretched out his left hand, pulled out a long knife from his waist, straightened his arm, went around his body, and stabbed sideways to the right back, hitting Chen Ming's throat, penetrating out, blood spurting like a spring.

General Wu then stirred, cut off his head, held it in his hand, wiped the blood and rain from his face, raised his head and laughed, and said, "Is this the brave general of the Tartars?" It's hard to be the enemy of unity! ”

The Yuan army was shocked!

Dong Zhongyi, who followed Chen Ming, blurted out and asked the same question that Hu Linchi asked just now, and asked, "Is the thief a thief who often meets spring?" ”

"Kill chickens with a knife! I am the former left-wing marshal under the command of Wu Guogong, and Cai Qian is also! ”

It's not Chang Yuchun, it's not Feng Guosheng, it's just Cai Qian. Hu Linchi said in a lost voice: "An unknown general, can he be so brave? Actually beheaded me Chen Ming! ”

The enemy and our armies, with more than 2,000 infantry and cavalry, were in a melee. Although Cai Qian is brave, it is difficult for the foot soldiers to be an iron horseman after all, and he is gradually getting the upper hand. At this moment, like thunder, and like a swift wind, first the ground shook, and then soon a cavalry of more than 500 people rushed from the south in the rain and appeared outside the battlefield.

"Who's coming?"

A military flag is picked up in front of it, and three words are written on it: "Often meet spring." ”

Hu Lin Chi was shocked and shouted, "Ouch, in the end, I fell for the trick of Wu thieves!" "Urgent order," quickly beat the drum and asked the sheep to send troops to help. "Xindao," although spring is coming, there are not many people. As long as Babusha's help comes, our army will have the upper hand. "Thinking about it for a while, my heart is a little at ease.

Three-way drum sounds!

didn't wait for the reinforcements of Babusha, but saw a probe running in pee, and before he could get off the horse, he hurriedly shouted: "General! Checkmate! Outside Giethoorn, an army of thieves came. See the banner played, on the book 'Fu Youde'! ”

——

1, Babusha.

In October 1360, "the emperor had an order to use Ji Ning Polo Timur, Chahan Timur thought that he would use troops for several years, but through Ji and Jin to give his army, and to be strong and strong, Gou obeyed the order, then Peter used his soldiers to eat, but to use the teacher Bianliang, to find the river to Tunze, Lu to refuse, transfer the Yan'an army to fight in Dongshengzhou and other places, and then send Babusha to help it." Babusha said that the other army came by order, how dare I resist the king's order, Chakhan Timur is angry, kill him. ”
