Chapter 43 The "Red Seals" collude with the rebels

Du Wenlin's speed was so fast that the four men in black couldn't even see how his sword pierced into their bodies.

Du Wenlin always wore civilian clothes, and did not wear heavy armor, for fear of affecting the speed of the attack.

When everyone was amazed by the speed of the four black-clothed killers, they were even more surprised by Du Wenlin, who suddenly came in like a storm.

I couldn't see his figure clearly, let alone his moves, only to see the sword in his hand turn into a silver white light chasing the four black-clothed people around, and then they all regained their composure.

The cavalry who were surrounded by the circle were stunned by the corpses of the four black-clothed men who fell to the ground in an instant, these four people are their backbone, everyone has seen their ghostly body and extremely terrifying killing methods, but they didn't expect to be assassinated by the other party in the blink of an eye tonight.

These cavalrymen all believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, and Du Wenlin was already more terrifying than ghosts and gods in their eyes.

The soldiers of the Ming army outside the circle were also shocked by their leader's killing skills, and they were also stunned for a moment, they didn't seem to believe that the majestic god of war with a sword in front of them was the young man who was always smiling and grinning.

"Good!" The two girls standing outside the circle clapped their hands and applauded.

Du Wenlin looked back at them and smiled, his smile shining brightly in the firelight.

"Kill!" The cavalry leader shouted, and their scimitars began to slash at the spear-wielding soldiers around them.

The spears of the Ming soldiers, nearly three meters long, pierced the enemy's horses from behind their shields. The horses were either wounded and scurrying around, or were stabbed to the ground, and the people on horseback were stabbed to death by random guns before they could hit the ground.

Du Wenlin slowly withdrew from the battlefield, he could see that his soldiers had gained the upper hand, and victory was a matter of time.

Master Mei looked at Du Wenlin, who came to his side with a sword, and smiled for the first time:

"It's better to see than to hear, I've heard that your combat power is first-class, and today I know that your strength is better than rumors."

Du Wenlin scratched his head embarrassedly:

"Mei-sama has won the prize!"

The two girls gathered around and chattered:

"I can see clearly, you stabbed the first man in black with the 'White Rainbow Sun' that I taught you."

"No, it should be the 'Golden Goose in the Sky' that I taught." Rong'er said as she gestured with her sword.

Du Wenlin's head is a little big again, he is not afraid of facing the enemy on the battlefield, but he is afraid of being entangled endlessly by these two girls.

"Hmph, when did the little girl learn to invite credit? Let's go, accompany my sister to kill the thief and see who kills more. ”

Before Du Wenlin could open his mouth to stop him, the two girls were already blowing towards the battlefield like two whirlwinds.

smiled helplessly at Lord Mei, and followed them towards the battlefield.

Wang Ling and Rong'er finally squeezed to the front of the formation and jumped out from behind the soldiers' shields. Wang Ling's sword slashed at a scimitar that had been slashed, and the scimitar instantly turned into a half-cut. Rong'er's short sword took the opportunity to stab into the horse's neck from below, and the horse screamed and fell to the ground. The man who landed on the ground was instantly stabbed to death by the spear that came out.

All the actions are done in one go, and there is no room for action. They immediately found a second cavalryman, still in the same way.

Du Wenlin, who was standing behind them, sighed secretly: These two girls are really working together seamlessly!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen war horses had been stabbed down by the two of them, and the companions behind were all frightened, and they all retreated, huddled together.

"Throw down your weapons and spare you from dying!" Du Wenlin's shouts echoed over the battlefield.

The besieged men stopped rushing and killing, and they had already lost nearly half of their men, and if they continued to fight, they would only be completely annihilated.

There was a sound of weapons falling to the ground, and countless scimitars fell from the ground.

After cleaning up the enemies inside, Du Wenlin led his men to Yuanmen.

The soldiers in charge of blocking at the gate suffered a lot of losses, and many of them were wounded by the opponent's bows and arrows.

Outside of the deer firewood, there were corpses of war horses and riders everywhere, but the enemy outside still urged the war horses to step on the corpses of their companions and not rush forward.

Hundreds of their companions were surrounded in the camp, and it was impossible for them to sit idly by and leave.

Du Wenlin ordered his soldiers to evacuate from the gate, still following the tactics just now, and the soldiers divided into two ways and withdrew to both sides of the gate.

The cavalry who was desperately rushing in was suddenly surprised that there was no intercepting enemy in front of them.

They stopped and listened to the movement in the camp.

Unfortunately, apart from the howling of the wind, the shouts of his companions could no longer be heard.

Knowing that their companions were unlucky, they were either killed or taken prisoner.

There were nearly five hundred elites rushing in, but I didn't expect it to disappear in such a short time.

If you rush in and ride a few hundred more times, won't it still end up the same?

A terrible trumpet sounded, and the cavalry turned their horses and galloped away in the way they came.

Cleaning up the battlefield, the number of enemies killed and captured in this battle was as high as 480.

With less than 100 wounded and killed on their side, it was a complete victory.

Through interrogation, it was learned that the gang of bandits was from Dingbian Town.

Dingbian was the first line of defense against the Ming army in the east of the Bibai rebels, and was defended by his son Bi Chengen's general Hua Limo.

He received a secret letter from the messenger stating that the supervising army of the DPRK had arrived here today, and ordered a thousand cavalry to come in a vain attempt to destroy this army in one fell swoop.

Who admits that not only did not achieve the goal, but lost the army.

Lord Mei ordered that these captives be taken into custody and sent to Yan'an Mansion tomorrow.

In Yan'an Mansion, Wei Xuezeng, the governor of Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu, was at a loss, and sighed with his hand on his forehead.

Yan'an prefect Hang Dongqing sat next to him and accompanied him carefully.

Du Wenlin stood behind Mei Guozhen, looked at it coldly, and didn't say a word.

The unfavorable war in Ningxia has long aroused the dissatisfaction of the emperor, who has repeatedly issued orders and accusations, which makes his heart burn and irritable.

Master Mei was also silent, looking at Governor Wei coldly.

After a long time, Governor Wei finally spoke:

"The bandit forces are too strong, and it will be difficult to calm down the armies of our three sides only for a while and a half." The tone was helpless.

"The emperor was seriously dissatisfied with Governor Wei's gentleness and appeasement policy, and when he came, he ordered his subordinates to fight only by vigorously cracking down on the rebels in Bibai, in order to deter the four gangs of those who were ready to move." Mei Jianjun said slowly.

"Weichen is incompetent, he is ashamed of the emperor's love, and he deserves death. Not only has the Ningxia rebellion not been able to be quelled, but at the same time, it is necessary to guard against Bibai and the Mongol tribes from rebelling together. A few days ago, the Mongolian Tatar tribe sent several thousand cavalry in a vain attempt to enter the city of Ningxia and join forces with Bibai. They were intercepted halfway by Ma Gui, the general soldier of Ningxia, and killed 200 enemies before forcing them to retreat. There was a hint of exculpation in Governor Wei's tone.

"Thinking of my Ming Dynasty and the world, how can I be intimidated by such rats. All of you need to brace your spirits and work together to put down the rebellion in the shortest possible time. I'm a newcomer, and I don't know much about the current military situation, so I'll go to the front tomorrow to see for myself. Mei Jian Jun said.

"Master Mei has been tired all the way on the saddle horse, so let's rest for a few more days to recuperate. Besides, to the west is the place of the battlefield, and Master Mei must not be allowed to set foot in a dangerous place. ”

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Master Mei said coldly.

Yan'an Mansion is an important town in the western border, and it has also been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, with a large number of garrisons.

At the same time, it is also a densely populated place in the western border area, with developed merchant trade and a large foreign population.

Du Wenlin came here from the capital and wanted to go out to investigate the local customs.

With Wang Ling and Rong'er, the three of them walked on the streets of Yan'an.

In addition to the Han Chinese, there were also Jurchens from the northeast, Tatars from the Mongolian steppe, and even the Dongfanyi from the southwest coast and the Miao from the southwest frontier. All kinds of people speak different dialects, bargaining, and it is very lively.

The business here is mainly fur, but there are also daily necessities such as grain, cloth, silk and linen.

Rong'er took a meat bun and ate it with a mouth full of oil.

Wang Ling picked a turquoise bracelet sold by a Persian merchant and was very happy.

Du Wenlin didn't have the heart to look at the stalls on both sides, and turned his eyes to look at those high-nosed and deep-eyed aliens.

In his eyes, these aliens envied the abundant food and clothing of the Central Plains, so they always harassed the border and caused wars.

So, there is no good feeling for them.

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view, and although the figure flashed by, it was still recognized at once with his super eyesight.

He motioned to the two girls and hid in the corner together.

What I saw just now was a lieutenant under Wang Qianhu, and at this time, he was a low-ranking officer who should not appear here in casual clothes.

In normal times, he often hangs around the big tent in the barracks, so Du Wenlin has a deep impression of him.

He stood in front of a mutton restaurant and looked around, as if waiting for someone.

A middle-aged man dressed as a local herdsman appeared in front of him, and the two talked in a low voice, then handed each other a small roll of paper and hurried away.

The herdsman turned and walked out of the city.

Du Wenlin and the three of them quietly followed behind the herdsman, and when they reached a place where there were not many passers-by, Du Wenlin quickly caught up, grabbed his throat from behind and suddenly fell hard, and the man was thrown to the ground hard.

Rong'er pointed her sword at his throat, and she looked at the three of them with frightened eyes.

Du Wenlin searched for the paper roll from his arms, and when he opened it, he was shocked.

The paper scroll said that the "Red Seal Sect" had already installed its own people in the Ming army, and when the time was ripe, they were willing to cooperate with the Bibai rebels to cooperate with the outside world, first seize the nine towns of the border pass, and then take advantage of the situation to advance eastward and approach the capital. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Ming army moved westward to quell the rebellion, the "Red Feudal Sect" would rise up together all over the country, raise the banner to rebel, and seize the power of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. At that time, it will be bounded by the Great Wall of Bibai, and a large area of territory north of the Great Wall and west of Xi'an will be owned by Bibai.

Du Wenlin saw a cold sweat, he tied up the man, pushed and shoved him to be escorted back to the barracks for interrogation.

Du Wenlin escorted the man in the middle, Wang Ling guarded behind with a sword, and Rong'er led the way in front.

The three masters confidently bet that there should be no problem when they go back, but the accident still happened.

As he passed through a narrow street, suddenly a feathered arrow flew from the roof of the house and pierced the man's heart in an instant.

Du Wenlin climbed the eaves and jumped onto the roof, but there was no one anymore.
