"Goo...... Mutter...... Goo ......"

The silence of the night, the strange chirping of unknown birds on the cliffs on the edge of the grassland hills, and the starry sky in the clear night sky mean that the weather tomorrow must be good.

But in this good weather, the strange bird seemed to sense something, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew high into the air.

Like a fish leaping, a few breaths flew up hundreds of meters into the air, overlooking the vast Yanshan Mountains under the moonlit night and starry sky.

Gradually, there was a sound in the distant mountain passes, followed by a boom, and hundreds of horses rushed out, and black shadows crawled on their backs.

"The First Evolution"

"Phew!"

Suddenly, when the army rushed out of the mountain pass, the leading general suddenly reined in his horse and stopped the troops.

In the darkness of the night, they lit torches, which was very dangerous, so after coming out of the col, the leading general turned his head and said loudly:

"Everyone, put out the torches!"

The news spread one by one, and soon, in less than a cup of tea, thousands of men and horses extinguished the torches, and at this time the general also said:

"Divide all the beans into two portions, feed one first, restore the horsepower of all the horses, and feed the remaining one after two hours."

"The army will rest for two hours, and after two hours, take advantage of the dawn to attack and kill the Bayo tribe with me!"

Under the moonlit night, Man Gui's figure was revealed, and his whole person was a little thin at the moment, and not only him, but also most of the soldiers.

After six days and a surprise attack of 820 miles, he finally rushed out of the Yanshan Mountains and came to the north of Haitang in the north of Quang Ninh.

At this moment, they are here, and they can overlook the Great Wall of Liaodong in the south, where the fire can be faintly seen, but everyone's body is extremely tired at the moment.

For most of these new soldiers who have only been trained for half a year, and the remaining half have been trained for less than three months, this is almost a general journey from the underworld.

They walked down, and by will, they rushed out of the Yanshan Mountains, and now, sixty miles to the northeast, was the old nest of the Bayo.

There was not much time, and according to the characteristics of the northern captives, even fifty miles outside the fortified city, there were many people grazing and patrolling.

Therefore, Man Gui was only given two hours of rest and tried to restore his horsepower with beans.

Time passed little by little, and Man Gui kept an eye on the sky.

Since it was already past the beginning of summer and Xiaoman, the sky would become brighter than he expected.

It was only an hour and a half later, the sky became gray, and Man Gui realized that time was running out, so he ordered all the soldiers who were lying on the ground to rest exhausted.

"Leave a hundred households to guard the horses, and after an hour tell them to drive the horses north, and the rest of the men are ready to mount their horses."

"General, horsepower has not yet recovered, and the brothers are ......" Commander Yu Linwei hesitated to speak, but Man Gui said:

"After this battle, the brothers can rest for three days and three nights."

"We didn't carry artillery this time, and the earthen city of Bayo, though rudimentary, was able to stop us."

"What we have to do now is to surprise the Tucheng of Bayo and kill the men outside the Tucheng!"

"There is no doubt about this, get on the horse!"

After saying that, Man Gui immediately raised his hands and gestured to A.

The commander had no choice but to order each other to help each other.

In this way, the time of a cup of tea passed slowly, and when more than 5,000 people were successfully armored, all of them fed the remaining beans to their three military horses.

More than 100 soldiers stayed, taking care of tens of thousands of horses, letting them graze, and at the same time, with Man Gui's order, everyone galloped regardless of horsepower.

"Booming ......" like thunder, the sound of thousands of horses galloping sounded in the gray grassland.

After eating a large amount of bean feed, and resting for an hour and a half, all the horses galloped away as if they had broken free from their reins.

During this period, Man Gui saw some yurts in the distance, which were the sentinel tribes on the outskirts of the Bayo tribe, and he ignored it, and directly led the soldiers and horses to continue galloping.

"Enemy attack! The Ming army is coming! ”

The alert sentinel came out of his tent, and when he saw the Ming cavalry in the distance, he rushed to the dry cow dung heap in the distance and set them on fire with torches.

The wolf smoke rose, but because it was still gray, it could not deliver the message in the first place.

After Man Gui and the others crossed one sentry camp after another and galloped for half an hour, the bull horn was sounded in the Tucheng of the Bayo Division, and at this time Man Gui and Yu Linwei had already rushed up the hills, and saw the Tucheng of the Bayobu lying on the vast plain, as well as the countless tents with only simple rejection of horses on the periphery.

"Ignite, kill!"

Man Gui pulled out the long knife at his waist and stabbed the air in front of him, as if piercing Endeger's flesh and igniting the suffering of all the Feather Forest Guards for six days.

"Kill!"

Galloping like a dragon, like a red dragon rushing forward, more than 5,000 cavalry instantly turned into more than 100 teams, rushing towards the rejection of the horse, and more than ten of them took out a kind of boring palladium.

"Woo~~~~"

"Enemy attack!"

Standing high and looking into the distance, on the tower of Tucheng, a Mongolian hundred-household sounded the horn of the bull, and the horn of "woo" reminded everyone, but the time was not enough.

The men skillfully grabbed their waist knives, put on their thick fur clothes, and then ran out of the yurt.

They turned over and got on the horses on the side of the door, and they all went to the periphery to kill.

"Geril, come back safely!"

A Mongolian man ran out of the yurt, turned on his horse, and was ready to set off with an iron knife in his shirtless body, and his woman ran out of the yurt in disheveled clothes, reminding him.

But he didn't have time, and with a clamp between his legs, the horse rushed to the periphery.

He crossed countless yurts, met countless panicked people, and countless questions flashed through his mind.

Who is the enemy? From where are the people? How many people? Will......

None of these questions were in his mind, and when he rushed out of the yurts, he saw the most familiar and terrifying group of people.

Flaming red cloth armor, familiar gauntlets, phoenix-winged helmets......

When the Yulin guards used boring palladium to knock away the rejecting horse, they immediately pulled out the loaded riding guns and shot them as soon as they raised them!

"Bang!"

Geril's body suddenly softened, and he fell off the back of his horse, and his memory stayed on the sound of the riding gun and the smoke.

Immediately afterwards, the war horse trampled past, and his body was trampled by dozens of cavalry in a short time.

Overlooking from the sky, dozens of horses were knocked away, and then the Yulin Guards rushed into the yurt area, and the sound of countless horsemen resounded in the Tucheng of Bayo, followed by the sound of blades slashing flesh and blood, and the creepy ......

Torches were thrown, and yurts were set on fire.

In just a short cup of tea, most of the yurts outside the Tucheng of Bayobu were set on fire, and they are still being implicated.

The summer grassland was accompanied by strong winds, and the wind fueled the fire, and in an instant the temperature of the area increased, and at this time, a feather forest guard cavalry was also shot in the cheek by a cold arrow, and was planted from the back of the war horse on the spot!

"It's Baijiaba's teeth!"

"Bang ......"

The vigilant Yulin Guard cavalry, when they saw that their comrades were shot through the cheeks, and obviously couldn't survive, immediately raised their guns and shot.

"Beep ~~~~"

"Sentry, withdraw!"

In the next moment, a whistle sounded around Bayobu City, and all the Yulin guards did not dare to fight, and withdrew one after another!

Some new pawns coveted the head and tried to get off the horse and cut the head, but the old pawn directly grabbed the reins and took them away.

At such times, coveting the head is sending you to death!

The sound of wooden whistles was endless, and at this moment, a group of generals appeared on the head of the city of Bayo.

They looked out of the city, and the cloth armor-clad Engdel's eyes were red, and the next moment they were about to turn around and lead the iron cavalry of the city to kill.

However, Shuo Zhi grabbed him and said:

"I'm not sure whose people are, and I don't know how many people there are on the other side, don't be stupid."

"Yes!" Alerted by the Sho, Engdel reluctantly calmed down, and then they opened the gates and let some of the survivors escape into the city.

It's just that the yurt ignited too quickly, half of the people were burned to death, and some of the people who fought back were directly taken away by the horseman.

Those who could live in the earthen city were all the guards of Engdel, who could wear iron armor, so his troops did not suffer much loss, but the thousands of men outside the city were killed, and more than 600 people were killed.

In addition to them, one or two thousand women and children were burned alive.

Looking at the clansmen struggling in the Flame Purgatory, Engdel was angry in his heart, and he wanted to raise troops and kill them.

Compared to him, Shuo Zhen had dealt too much with the Ming army after all, so he saw Yu Linwei outside the fire belt through the firelight.

"There are a lot of people, they have a good stomach, and they are family members?" Shuo Zhen frowned slightly, but quickly shook his head again, just because it was impossible for Liaodong to have so many generals.

The flames were burning, and everyone in the city in the center of the fire belt only felt a little oppressive and could not breathe.

But as the fire receded, their breathing began to lighten, and they also saw the Ming cavalry outside the scorched earth.

The flag fluttered, and the piercing word "Ming" extinguished Engdel's anger, and then he became afraid.

"Out of town!"

"No...... Wait......"

When Shuo saw that the fire was about to be extinguished, he took Yijiala's soldiers and horses out of the city, because he was confident in Dajin's soldiers, and the soldiers of the Ming army would not be his opponents.

But at this time, Engdel grabbed him, causing him to be dissatisfied.

"Are you scared?" The words were full of sarcasm, but Engdel said:

"The fire here is very big, they went to the north more than 30 miles away yesterday, and they should be able to see it now, and when they come, we will attack inside and outside."

One-fifth of his troops died, and Engdel was of course angry, but looking at the more than 5,000 Ming cavalry dressed in triple armor outside the city, he knew that his men were not opponents.

Even if he and Shuo's soldiers and horses are combined, they are only on par with the other party.

However, the elite of the Ming army, often wearing triple armor, could suppress two or three Mongols in heavy armor. Therefore, with this amount of troops going out of the city, his losses will be great.

When the time comes, his strength will be insufficient, and the tribe will also be annexed by Fried Flowers, so it is better to wait for Fried Flowers to come to their rescue.

"Are you sure fried flowers will come to your rescue? I heard that after Zai Sai was released, he was very dissatisfied with my Daikin, and I was also ...... to you."

Shuo Zhen said about Houjin's release of Zai Sai, for this history, Zhu Youzhen only knew that Zai Sai was captured and then released at a certain time, but he didn't know that Zai Sai was released and returned as early as late last year.

It's just that there are only more than 5,000 of the tens of thousands of people he once had, and there are only more than 2,000 men.

Therefore, he hated Nurhachi very much, and constantly instigated fried flowers to form an alliance with Lin Dan Khan in the north to strike a blow at Houjin.

But fried flowers have been swaying, and he doesn't want to tear his face with Houjin.

But now it is different, the Ming army is approaching the city, as if they want to exterminate the situation of the Bayo department, and there are also Houjin's first-class army and first-class army auxiliary soldiers in the city.

Engdel is the only hardcore post-Kim faction within the Nekhalkha, so if he dies, or Shuo Xuan also dies, then there is nothing to lose to fried flowers, and he can even occupy the pastures of Bayo.

If you want to fry them to send troops, you must give up enough profits, after all, once they meet the Ming army, then the qualification of the mutual market will be cancelled.

Thinking of this, Engdel's face was cloudy, and Shuo Zhen also spoke:

"I have 1,000 regular soldiers, 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, plus the tribe that your tribe has just fled, and there are 4,000 men from the Bayo tribe in the city."

"We have seven thousand people, and the Ming army seems to be strong, but it is vulnerable!"

"I brought two iron cannons this time, and as you can see, the Ming army without artillery is not our opponent."

may have participated in the great battles of Salhu, Tieling, Kaiyuan and Shenyang, and in Shuo's view, the Ming army was just like that.

Although there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses with triple armor outside the city, he is not undefeated when he is more well-equipped, and the armor stomach he is wearing now is the armor stomach of a general under the Ming general Juniper.

Man Gui wanted to attack and kill them, why didn't Shuo Zhi want to kill them and take off their armor and stomachs?

However, Shuo Zhi was not a reckless man, and he wanted to go out of the city to fight, but also wanted to determine whether this group of men and horses was a pioneer or all.

If it is the vanguard, then the follow-up Ming army must have artillery, then the earthen wall of Bayeo City cannot be stopped at all.

Therefore, as long as the situation is not right, he can completely leave the auxiliaries and leave with the regular soldiers.

Shuo is clear, Dajin can't withstand a trace of attrition, if this Jiala's people fold here, it will greatly boost the morale of the Ming army in Liaodong.

But Shuo also knew that if he betrayed Engdel, he would definitely be held accountable when he returned, just because Engdel was a strong ally of Dajin in Inner Khalkha and provided a lot of beef and mutton food.

So after his thoughts, Shuo Zhi looked at Engdel again and said:

"We took the men and horses out of the city, you told people to escape from the north gate, your troops have many horses, if you want to run, the Ming army can't stop you."

In addition to the relatives of the armor, there were also their own relatives and horses.

This is also the reason why they burned the yurt outside the city just now, and did not find many horses.

"There are more than 20,000 horses in the city, enough for one person and four horses, but the Hermes-Epitek can't take them with them." Engdel was a little painful, but these Han people would cultivate the land.

Without people to farm, they had to spend a lot of money to buy beans with other tribes.

"The Han people have a saying, called to stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, you have to look a little away." Although Shuo Zhen looked down on Engdel, he still comforted him, for fear that this guy would surrender.

"Good!" Hearing Shuo's words, Engdel also nodded, and then ordered everyone to prepare in armor, and let the women and children in the city prepare to go north.

Even if they are horses, as long as they stop them long enough, they can protect the women and children from leaving.

"Whew-"

With Engeldel's order, Tucheng opened the city gates, and at this time, all of them were standing on the ground.

In order to restore their horsepower, they dismounted and waited a mile outside the city.

"Load the marble, don't load the iron sand."

Man Gui greeted, and then someone began to speak, and then the Yulin guards, who were armed with a horseman, replaced the iron sand with a marble the size of a little fingernail, and put the loaded horsemanship upside down into a special bag.

After hanging the bag on the side of the horse's belly, they turned over and got on the horse.

To tell the truth, he traveled 900 miles in six days, and then burned and killed two or three thousand people in Bayo, which was already a great feats in the late Ming Dynasty.

Even if he retreats now, it is estimated that Zhu Youzhen will not blame, after all, the number of people is not superior, and the other party is still cowering in the city.

It can only be said that Zhu Youzhen and the others overestimated Yu Linwei's combat power and underestimated the Mongols' ability to respond to attacks.

The war is like this, no one is sure that they can take down the other party in one fell swoop, and what Man Gui needs to do now is to expand the battle as much as possible before they react.

The beheading requirements of the Ming army are very harsh, and the head face cannot be damaged, so it is extremely unfriendly to the Ming cavalry who like to shoot pigs with a face.

The fire just now caused many people to be burned alive, and more than 2,000 heads were gone anyway, and even Man Gui was heartbroken.

But there is still one more opportunity, and that is to behead the Bayo tribe who are trying to get out of the city and fight in the field.

However, Man Gui raised his hand the moment the city gate opened, stopping the army from attacking, just because he saw that the first to walk out of the city gate was Houjin's heavy cavalry.

They were the first to go out of the city, and launched two cannons, which made Man Gui frown slightly, turned his head and ordered: "Order the whole army to disperse." ”

In front of the Houjin army with artillery, it is not a good choice for the army to gather, and Man Gui also knows that this time it may not be possible to completely annihilate the Houjin and Bayo troops.

Although the power of the two iron cannons was not enough to change the battlefield, it was enough to scare the horses and delay time.

"Something is wrong!"

Man Gui realized that something was wrong, as he found that Hou Jin's exit from the city was very slow, and it seemed that he was deliberately exposing his flaws and letting them sneak attack.

This kind of pretending to be suspicious reminded Man Gui of when the Ming army attacked Bansheng City, and Tumut's northern captives also used this trick to cover the retreat of women and children.

"Left Army Thousand Households! Take your subordinates to the northern city, and the women and children of the northern captives will escape! ”

Man Gui shouted an order, and when the Qianhu of the left army behind him heard this, he immediately called the flag officer to wave the flag, and then broke away from the army and went north around Tucheng.

This is not the end, Man Gui ordered the commander of Yu Linwei again: "Call someone to pick up the hundred households that drive the horses!" ”

"Yes!" Commander Yu Linwei's eyes lit up, and he wanted to use the tens of thousands of horses to strengthen his momentum, making people mistakenly think that the headquarters was just a striker.

He hurriedly sent a hundred households to pick up the counterparty, but in this way, after two divisions of troops, Yu Linwei only had more than 4,300 people left.

"They're going to attack the women and children of the North City, master, should we send someone to alert Engdel?"

Under the earth city, Jia La'e really saw the movement of the Ming army and reminded Shuo Zhen, but Shuo Zhen said:

"Women and children, it's more convenient for us to die."

"You don't need to inform him, just send the fifteen hundred auxiliaries to help Engdel evacuate the women and children, and let him take people out of the city at the south gate immediately."

"In addition, when the Ming army arrives, immediately call the auxiliary soldiers to evacuate, and let them tell Engdel about the killing of the women and children under his command."

As soon as these words came out, Jia La's heart was terrified.

Obviously, his master is going to cut off Engdel's back road to the battlefield where there is a possibility of surrender.

Killing the women and children of the Bayo tribe with the hands of the Ming army aroused the anger of the boys of the Bayo tribe, so as to raise the morale to the highest.

As for the fifteen hundred auxiliaries who might have died.

Although Jiala'e Zhen was a little painful, he closed his mouth when he thought that it was the Han and Mongols who died, not their Jurchens.

At the time of a cup of tea, Man Gui did not take the initiative to attack, he was waiting for the suspicious soldiers to go north, using the momentum of the suspicious soldiers to crush the momentum of the enemy army, and then expanding the results when the enemy army fled.

But Shuo Zhen was also waiting, he waited for all the soldiers of Houjin to leave the city, and he also heard the sound of horses' hooves at this moment.

The voice came from behind him, Engdel came, and also saw the Ming army's formation.

However, due to the difference in scale from the city wall and from the flat ground, he did not see any difference for a while, and did not know that the Ming army had divided its troops to intercept women and children.

"Shuo, I left six hundred men without iron armor to send women and children to the north, here are two thousand nine hundred elites!"

Engdel did not know that he had been sold, and pointed his horsewhip at the Mongol cavalry who walked out of the city gate.

They were all dressed in cotton clothes, and the inside of the cotton clothes was a rough piece of iron, similar to the cloth armor of the Ming army, but the defensive power was far inferior.

Wearing a leather helmet and holding a scimitar with a few small gaps, such a cavalry is not as good as Hou Jin, let alone the elite Yulin Guard.

Soon, with all the Mongols leaving the city, the situation outside the city was actually balanced for a while.

1,500 post-gold cavalry, 2,901 heavily armored Engdel personally entourage, 4,400 of them, and the number of Ming troops under the command of Man Gui was equal, and for a while, the morale of the Mongols stabilized slightly.

But this situation did not last, and just when Engdel wanted to ask Shuo Zhi why he had not given the order to attack, a group of Han and Mongols on horseback with only chain mail on their bodies rushed out of the corner of Tucheng, shouting loudly:

"The Ming army attacked women and children!"

Their words were shouted in Chinese and Mongolian, causing everyone to hold their breath for a moment in disbelief.

Engdel looked at Shuo Zhuo with red eyes, but when he saw Shuo Zhuo, he also had a confused expression, which did not seem to be fake, so he looked at the Mongolian cavalry galloping over.

The Mongol, who had been slashed several times in the back, rushed forward, fell off his horse and fell on the grass, and after rolling several times in a row, he lay down in front of Engdel, and said bitterly:

"There are more than 1,000 Ming cavalry in Beicheng, and the concubine ordered someone to form a formation with a Lele chariot and send me to ask for help, Taiji!"
