On the way back, several people guessed the identity of the red-robed man.

"His style and speed of his shots are very similar to those of the Night Clan." Du Wenlin said.

Sanniang was silent for a long time:

"I thought so too. I just don't know which family he belongs to. Judging by his skills, his status should be relatively high, maybe even higher than mine. The age should not be too young. It stands to reason that they are all at this age, and they should not appear on such occasions. ”

"Maybe it has something to do with the Ying family, he came to rescue the four brothers tonight."

"Maybe, we'll find out later." Sanniang said.

"The Ying brothers have been involved in the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, and are against the imperial court, if more people in their family are involved, it is very likely to bring about the disaster of annihilation." Du Wenlin sighed.

Sanniang also sighed, after all, they all belonged to the same ethnic group, and they all had the same blood flowing in their bodies. Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth.

The crime of "committing rebellion" is not ordinary, and it often harms the nine clans. If the Ying family is still greedy for wealth and is obsessed, sooner or later it will be burned.

I haven't seen each other for a few months, and the mother and son have endless words.

Du Wenlin recounted what happened after coming to the side, and the two girls rushed to supplement it, chattering, so lively.

Sanniang looked at the two girls, and she was not very happy in her heart.

She could see that these two girls liked Du Wenlin, and they could sacrifice their lives for him.

This kind of love debt is not easy to repay, and if it is not handled well, it will be regretted for life because of love and hate.

I thought of Cao Cuizhu again, this pure girl is also infatuated with Du Wenlin, and there is a marriage contract in advance, if it is because of emotional injury, wouldn't it be Du Wenlin's sin?

And Du Wenlin is now in the whirlpool of feelings, even if he wants to get out, it is difficult.

What's even more worrying is that the vortex has only just begun to spin, and it hasn't really used its power yet.

Turning his head to look at the two elated girls, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed silently.

returned to Dingbian City, and the two chatted for half a night, until Jiming Sanniang did not leave.

It was also inconvenient for Du Wenlin to keep her, because she couldn't travel during the day, so it was not convenient to live here.

Before leaving, Sanniang said that she lived not far away and could come to him at any time.

Goodbye again, every parting is full of reluctance.

At dawn the next day, the Miao soldiers in the north of the city took the lead in attacking, and Yun Qianhu also opened the west gate and led the defending troops to rush out.

Du Wenlin was not idle, and followed Wang Ling and Rong'er into the battlefield with the troops.

The Tatars were fierce by nature, and once they began to charge, no one from the soldiers or the officers would hide behind, and they would all move forward bravely. They practiced archery on horseback from an early age, and when they grew up, they almost always went to war on the battlefield. Because the necessities of life except cattle and sheep depend on plunder, so they are born to fight.

They had no infantry, and tens of thousands of cavalry rushed in, and the dust that rolled up obscured the sky.

And most of the Ming army was infantry, and there was almost no chance of winning against the cavalry with flesh and blood.

However, the infantry of the Ming Dynasty also practiced a set of formations specifically to deal with cavalry, with the shields in front forming a wall, and the soldiers armed with hook and sickle spears used the cover of the shield to assassinate and hook down the horses that rushed to the front. The soldiers in the back continued to fire clusters of arrows, killing the cavalry.

Although the infantry can also kill a large number of rushing horses, but in the face of the impact of thousands of horses, the formation is very easy to be scattered, once the front shield is lost, the cavalry rushes into the formation, the wolf enters the sheepfold, and the loss of the infantry is great.

The scimitars of the Tatars were unusually sharp, and where they swept, their heads rolled off.

Now, the formation in front has been loosened, and cavalry is constantly rushing into the formation, and Yun Qianhu urgently ordered the shield soldiers to step forward to block the gap that was broken away.

Du Wenlin kept swinging his sword to kill the approaching cavalry, but there were more and more cavalry rushing in, and it was out of control.

A hundred households riding a sweaty and bloody BMW went on a rampage and was invincible.

He was followed by many horsemen, and with the head of his horse he rushed there, and the horsemen followed him there.

It turned out that they also had their own attack formations, and it seemed that they were fighting on their own, but they were not.

They brought a small team from each hundred households, like a wedge smashed in.

Du Wenlin saw the opponent's attack formation clearly, and rushed towards the hundred households.

The other party saw a young officer running towards him, and with a flick of his scimitar, he met him.

When the two horses were wrong, the scimitar swept horizontally towards Du Wenlin's waist quickly, and seeing the speed of his shot, he knew that his martial arts were not weak.

Du Wenlin's sharp sword met the scimitar, and the swords intersected, sending out a spark. Du Wenlin's arm suddenly exerted force, and the opponent's scimitar could no longer be held, and was picked up in the air.

Baihu was stunned all of a sudden, he had absolute confidence in his sword skills and arm strength, but he didn't expect to be picked up by an ordinary sword. The strong force coming from the opponent's sword made it impossible to hold the hilt, and if he didn't let go in time, his body might even be provoked with the scimitar.

He seemed to see the devil and his eyes were full of fear.

After the other party picked up his scimitar, he suddenly rose upside down from his horse, and a harrier turned over in the air and pounced on him.

There was no weapon in his hand, only to urge the horse to flee.

It's a pity that the horse hasn't moved yet, Du Wenlin has already pounced, and before he can make the slightest resistance, he was grabbed by the back of the heart and thrown out of the horse's back two feet away.

He rolled on the ground and tried to stand up, but was held down by the soldier and tied up.

From the fight between the two to the time they became prisoners, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Until now, he still hasn't understood how he failed.

Baihu was captured, and the team under his command immediately lost its backbone, and the attack was out of order, and the team of nearly 500 people was broken up in an instant.

Concocted in the same way, Du Wenlin crisscrossed the battlefield, specifically looking for those hundred households, thousands of households, and after a while, he captured three hundred households and one thousand households alive. The cavalry that rushed in suffered great losses, and the pressure of the Ming army decreased sharply, and gradually stabilized their position.

The battlefield in the north is also extremely fierce, and the speed of advance is very slow, which shows that their pressure is not less than that on this side.

Seeing that the Ming army had only the strength to parry under his iron cavalry, he ordered the whole line to attack, determined to solve these two groups of enemies in one fell swoop.

The war drums beat rapidly, and countless war horses neighed and rushed forward, one by one the bright scimitars were raised into a dazzling forest of knives.

The Ming army regrouped, and a rain of arrows shot through, rushing towards the enemy's iron cavalry.

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing from the southwest, and the five thousand iron horsemen who were in ambush finally set out.

In order to assist Dingbian City this time, Ma Gui sent 6,000 cavalry out of 10,000 people. In order to increase the intensity of the surprise attack, Miao Yitang ambushed 5,000 people were all cavalry, and they took advantage of the fact that the battle was in full swing and the rear of the enemy army was empty, like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain and rushing into the enemy formation from behind.

Bi Chengen was commanding all the cavalry to attack the Ming army in two directions, but who knew that the rear was suddenly attacked, and the pursued cavalry scattered and fled, and the horses collided with each other and became a mess.

The Ming army was flanked on three sides, the war drums rumbled, the enemy's attack formation was instantly dispersed, and began to flee to the northwest, the defeat was like a mountain, and the defeat was out of control.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Bi Chengen cursed secretly, turned the horse's head, and fled to the northwest.

The Ming army followed all the way and chased for more than 30 miles before Mingjin withdrew his troops.

In this battle, more than 3,000 rebels were killed and 2,000 horses were intercepted, which was a complete victory.

Since then, Bibai has never launched another attack on Dingbian.

In the city of Dingbian, slaughter cattle and sheep, and reward the three armies.

The war ended temporarily, and the rebels would not commit it again in a short time, so Du Wenlin resigned to everyone and prepared to return to Yan'an Mansion to pay off.

Yun Qianhu once again thanked Du Wenlin for his help, and asked Du Wenlin to send a message to Governor Ye, and all the soldiers in Dingbian City were ready to obey the dispatch.

Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen were very happy after reading the battle report brought back by Du Wenlin.

The unexpected recovery of Dingbian City laid a solid foundation for the Battle of Ningxia.

Because Dingbian is close to Ningxia City, it can be used as a wartime command and transfer center, with a special location, easy to attack and defend, and has incomparable favorable conditions between Jingbian and Guyuan.

"Now that everything is in place, we can go on the offensive in the near future." Ye Mengxiong said.

"Today is the 16th of July, and I order General Li in Guyuan, General Ma in Jingbian, and the army in Yan'an Prefecture to start assembling in Ningxia City tomorrow, and they must arrive at the designated position before the 25th." Mei Guozhen Road.

Ye Mengxiong sent the order out.

Mei Guozhen looked at Du Wenlin, hesitated for a long time, and hesitated:

"Master Du, there is something I don't want to tell you for the time being, but I feel that it is better to say it later than sooner. After much hesitation, I decided to let you know. ”

Du Wenlin was extremely smart, and when he saw Mei Guozhen's expression, he immediately guessed that something might have happened to Governor Cao.

"Master Mei speaks, listen to the lower officials."

"Your father-in-law, Cao Shi, hired Governor Cao Shi, and it is said that he was implicated by his insiders. have all been sent to the capital. ”

Du Wenlin was not surprised by this matter, the paper could not contain the fire, and it was sooner or later that something would happen.

"Thank you, Mei-sama, for your concern!" At this time, he was more concerned about Cao Cuizhu's condition.

Her parents are both detained in the capital, how can she deal with herself as a weak woman?

But at this time, he is thousands of miles away from her, what can he do?

I was worried.

Mei Guozhen stared at him for a while, and then said:

"Also, there are people in the court who impeached you, saying that you and Governor Cao killed people in order to protect Mrs. Cao."

For this matter, Du Wenlin is also expected.

He had long expected that as long as Mrs. Cao's admission to the church was revealed, the matter of him and Governor Cao joining forces to kill people would definitely be turned up.

The worries have finally come.

If you admit that you are caught by your opponent, you and Governor Cao will definitely not end well.

Although it is wrong to assassinate witnesses, those people deserve to die, and they are just doing the right thing for heaven.

However, for the time being, it must not be admitted, for the sake of himself and for the sake of Governor Cao's family.

How the situation will develop in the future can only be seen step by step.

"This matter is purely false, just an excuse made up by people with ulterior motives to attack," Du Wenlin smiled.

Mei Guozhen sighed slightly, and said:

"As long as there is no evidence, it is rumors and slanders, and Master Du doesn't need to pay attention to it."

Ye Mengxiong listened to it for a long time, and then said:

"At this time, it is the time for the country to employ people, the war in front is tight, but those idlers in the rear only care about fighting for power and profit, excluding dissidents, which is really hateful!"

"Lord Ye, I don't think it's as good as this, I will write a battle report with you, and focus on Lord Du's performance on the battlefield here and the combat exploits he has made, what do you think?" Mei Guozhen asked.

Ye Mengxiong nodded in agreement.

Du Wenlin was deeply grateful for the care of the two adults. With their efforts, they should be fine for the time being.
