Chapter 243: Capture the Flag

On the plain, Xiao Ruxun led tens of thousands of cavalry to pursue frantically, vowing to capture the Tumen alive and focus on the rabbit to become a stepping stone for his promotion.

"Quick..., quick..., Tumen and Li Rabbit are ahead, whoever kills the thief will be rewarded with five thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level!"

There will be brave men under the great reward. Hearing Xiao Ruxun's words, the morale of the cavalry behind him was obviously boosted, and they all held their heads high and kept patting their crotch horses.

"Drive! Drive!!! ”

After the successful raid of Tumen and Li Rabbit, the soldiers and horses were already exhausted, and Li Li Rabbit originally expected that the Ming army was afraid and did not dare to pursue, so he walked more than fifty miles and began to rest.

As soon as he sat down, a subordinate brought food and water, and the rabbit took it, "Gollum, Gollum...... A lot of water flowed down the sides of his mouth, wetting his chest.

"Hahaha... Joyfully! After drinking, the rabbit laughed, wiped his mouth, threw the water bag to his subordinates, grabbed a piece of meat and ate it.

Tumen came over at this time and asked the rabbit where the next army would go, "Rabbit, where are we going next?" ”

"Great Khan, let's go back to the grassland, wait for the imperial army to retreat, and come back in autumn."

"But..., but we have lost so many men and horses, and we have gained nothing, how can I explain to the dead people this time."

"Don't worry about the Great Khan, let's defeat the Ming army, the Great Khan's prestige is enough to make the Ming people frightened."

"Besides, who said that we got nothing, and when we go back, aren't there many small tribes?"

Tumen's eyes widened when they heard this, and they looked excited, "You mean ......?"

"Well, anyway, when the time comes, we won't leave any of us, just put the blame on the Ming army, how can they have any right to speak in these small tribes."

"Okay, everything is up to your arrangement, and after the rest, let's leave for the return." In order to consolidate their rule, Tumen had no choice but to agree to focus on rabbits.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then picked up the mutton and nibbled on it.

"Stepping on the ......" Suddenly, there was a huge sound not far away, raising bursts of dust and smoke, and after the dust and smoke dissipated, Xiao Ruxun rushed out first.

I saw Xiao Ruxun eight feet tall, wearing gold chain mail, chasing the wind and fierce horses under his crotch, holding Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and rushing towards the Mongolian cavalry majestically.

The Mongolian cavalry, who was still resting, was directly dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and hurriedly went to find their horses, but in an instant, Xiao Ruxun had already rushed into the formation.

"Kill, !!" Xiao Ruxun roared, brandished Fang Tian's halberd, and in an instant, a Mongolian cavalry was killed in his hands.

"Devil, devil. They are the devil. Looking at the Ming army rushing to kill, the Mongolian cavalry, which was already at the end of the crossbow, was beaten to the ground.

In a hurry, before their horses could accelerate, a charge was disrupted by the Ming army, and the recuperated Ming army began to slaughter the Mongol cavalry at this time.

"No withdrawal, no resignation!!" Tumen looked at the subordinates who fled backwards, roared loudly, and cut down several subordinates in a row, but still couldn't stop the decline.

The soldiers on the side hurriedly hugged the Tumen who fell into madness, "Great Khan, Great Khan, let's go." You see that the next wave of cavalry charges on the opposite side is about to start again, and we are sleepy and tired, and if we don't go, we won't be able to go. ”

Tumen came to his senses at this time, and looked at the cavalry on the opposite side who were about to charge in turn, and couldn't help but flash a hint of determination.

"Withdraw!"

Before leaving, he looked for the figure of the rabbit and found that he had disappeared, so he grabbed the soldiers around him and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the rabbit?" ”

"Great Khan, as soon as the rabbit fought, he withdrew with his own men."

"Rabbit, you liar." After seeing that the rabbit had fled again, the Tumen let out a long howl in the sky.

Immediately, he yelled viciously, "Withdraw!" Before he could say anything, many of the Mongol cavalry had already begun to retreat.

Xiao Ruxun's cavalry chased all the way, constantly killing the Mongolian cavalry that had fallen behind. Every few hundred meters run, you can see a part of the attrition of the Tumen's army.

"Brothers, that's Tumen, rush over!!" Xiao Ruxun pointed to the banner of the pictures and roared loudly.

Tumen saw Xiao Ruxun chasing after him like a mad dog, hurriedly threw away his flag, and continued to escape.

After chasing and killing for a while, the Tumen rushed to their own sphere of influence, Xiao Ruxun wanted to continue the pursuit, but he was worried that the Tumen had reinforcements, so he stopped the pursuit.

"Ah!!h Xiao Ruxun let out a loud roar to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart. The surrounding soldiers were infected by Xiao Ruxun and roared, this big victory was too exciting.

After shouting, Xiao Ruxun called the herald: "Go, tell Ye Ge Lao, just say that we have an encounter with the Tumen, our army has beheaded more than 10,000 people, and the Tumen fled to the lair with the remnants." ”

"I was afraid that the Mongol army would respond to me, so I didn't dare to continue the pursuit."

The herald knelt down to take Xiao Ruxun's military order and immediately began to return. The rest began to clean up the battlefield and cut off the heads of the Mongol army in order to take credit.

After doing all this, Xiao Ruxun put down his weapon and found a clean place to sit down, "Wine!" The soldiers on the side listened to Xiao Ruxun's order, and hurriedly took out the wine jug and handed it to Xiao Ruxun.

"Gollum, Gollum....." Xiao Ruxun took the flask and immediately poured a few sips, only to feel comfortable.

Then he began to enjoy the scenery in front of him, only to see the Ming army all over the mountains and fields collecting war horses, under the sunshine, Xiao Ruxun only felt warm.

He looked at the corpses of the Mongolian army all over the mountain, as if he saw his own bright future.

The soldiers on the side saw Xiao Ruxuan's pride, and they couldn't help but pat their ass: "General, this time we not only have a meritorious role in defending Lingzhou City, but also broke the Mongolian cavalry, and the emperor still doesn't give the general a knight?" ”

"Whether you are knighted or not, it is up to the emperor to decide, how many heads do you have, and you dare to discuss this matter." Xiao Ruxun immediately pretended to scold.

"Yes, yes, what the general said is, it's me who is reckless."

In the evening of the same day, when Xiao Ruxun returned with a full harvest, Ye Mengxiong and others waited for Xiao Ruxun at the city gate early.

Xiao Ruxun took a look at the war horse, and immediately arched his hand at the two of them: "Xiao Ruxun, I have seen Ye Ge Lao, Ma Zongbing." ”

"Hahaha... Xiao Shen will be exempted. ”

"The whole of Ningxia lives because of General Xiao Shen, and the old man thanks you for the people of Ningxia."

Xiao Ruxun hurriedly helped up Ye Mengxiong, who was about to fall: "Old Ge, what are you doing, you are serious, Ruxun can't afford this big gift." ”

Ma Gui on the side started a round, "Ge Lao, I think General Xiao should be tired of chasing the enemy, let's let him go back and rest." ”

"Oh, good, good."

As soon as Xiao Ruxun gave up his hand to the two, he returned to his residence, washed up and fell asleep immediately.

With five thousand remnants, Tumen frantically fled to their royal court, and from time to time they looked behind them, for fear that Xiao Ruxun would catch up again.

It wasn't until they confirmed that there were no pursuers behind them that Tumen breathed a sigh of relief, "Stop!" With a wave of his hand, he made his men stop.

Tumen couldn't help but be secretly annoyed when they looked at their subordinates, and at this time, the faces of the remaining centaurs were full of horror, and they had no intention of fighting at all.

I wanted to come out with 30,000 horses, but now that only 5,000 remnants were left, my prestige would be greatly hit at that time, and I might even lose my position and life.

As soon as he thought of this, the Tumen were very annoyed, and after listening to the words of the villain, he ran away, and took the opportunity to annex the monk's men and horses, and he didn't know where he was running now.

"Rest in place and start cooking over the fire."

The soldiers on the side replied hesitantly: "Great Khan, our food is gone. ”

"What do you say?! Wasn't there so much the other day? ”

"The Ming army pursued and killed in too much urgency, and the brothers only cared about escaping, just... Nobody takes care of the food. ”

"Rubbish, you shit." Tumen gave the pro-soldier a kick, and the pro-soldier rolled several steps in a row, and immediately knelt on the ground and cried for mercy.

After venting, Tumen looked at the soldiers with hungry eyes, and gritted his teeth: "Kill the horse for me!" Start with the wounded horse. ”

In normal times, horses were the lifeblood of the Mongols, and they were naturally reluctant to kill horses, but now that their lives are almost gone, they can still take care of these things.

When the swords fell, several horses fell, and in a short time the camp of the Tumen wafted with a burst of fragrance.

While eating horse meat, Tumen thought about the next way out, if he went back like this, he would definitely be laughed at by a few uncles, and now he could only go to a few small tribes to fight the autumn wind.

Seeing that there was a countermeasure, the Tumen were no longer troubled, and they took a few mouthfuls of horse meat, wiped their mouths with their hands, and retreated to their big tent.

The moonlight was like water, and at this time, after eating horse meat, the Tumen's troops fell into a deep sleep, and the whole camp was silent.

Suddenly, a piece of grass not far away suddenly moved, and then two men in straw clothes jumped out of the grass.

After the two came out, they didn't dare to stay, and retreated directly behind them.
