In the middle of the night, the town of Yantou is very quiet at night, except for many torches burning on the head of the city, and the town occasionally has the Qing soldiers who patrol the night, there is no other movement.

Suddenly, there was a sound of iron hooves, and several Qing soldiers who were patrolling the night looked at the night outside in surprise, and one of them teased: "It's so late, I don't know which flag of soldiers and horses it is?" ”

As soon as the words fell, an army of iron cavalry came out of the night, and the Qing soldier who spoke looked out and said to his companions: "Is it the Mongolian red flag?" ”

"It's so late, but there is an urgent military situation!"

The iron cavalry army outside the city is the cavalry battalion soldiers, at this time Xu Ming was wearing a suit of Niu Lu Zhangjing's armor, and he took a few steps forward on his horse, and Xu Ming, who was not born at night, also knew Mongolian, and said loudly at this time: "By the order of Prince Rui, come to transfer grain and grass, and open the city gate!" ”

A few Qing soldiers patrolling the night at the head of the city did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly assigned one person to report to the flag owner.

Yantou Town is a small city, at this time the Mongolian White Flag Lord Ibai is in a better house in the city, the Qing soldiers who reported the news soon ran over, after a report, Ibai asked in surprise: "Do you see clearly?" ”

"I can see it clearly, it is indeed the armor and flag of Mongolia with red flags."

"That's weird, why did the master send people to transport grain, why would he call the people and horses with red flags?"

"Master, the people who came are still waiting outside the city, do you send someone out to check?"

"Well, be careful."

Ibai called a guard Niu Lu Zhangjing and said, "You take someone out of the city to check Prince Rui's warrant for grain transfer." ”

"Huh!"

Then Ibai was also fully clothed, and came to the southern city wall with a group of horse armor soldiers, and as far as the eye could see, there was indeed an army of iron cavalry outside the city, numbering in the hundreds. However, the strange thing is that many of the men of this iron cavalry army are hidden in the night, and there are only two or three hundred people in front of the city.

Ibai frowned slightly, faintly sensing something wrong in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Soon, that Niu Lu Zhangjing opened the city gate with more than a dozen infantry soldiers and went out, and when he came to Xu Ming, he happened to see Xu Ming turn over and dismount, and greeted him with a big smile.

"Show me Prince Rui's ......"

Before he finished speaking, Niu Lu Zhangjing was shocked, and at a glance he saw the sideburns under Xu Ming's helmet: This person didn't shave his hair!

Xu Ming stepped forward quickly, pretending to dig something, and quickly used a sharp dagger to directly hit Niu Lu Zhangjing's throat. At this time, Niu Lu Zhangjing happened to have his back to the city wall, and the dozen or so infantry soldiers behind him couldn't see the situation here, and thought that Xu Ming took the initiative to come up to be inspected.

"Don't move!"

Xu Ming whispered a warning in Mongolian: "Tell the people in the city that the warrant is correct, let them open the city gate!" ”

That Niu Lu Zhangjing's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to scream, but he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, Xu Ming stabbed the dagger forward, and at this time it had already pierced Niu Lu Zhangjing's neck, and blood flowed down the collar.

"Do as I say!"

The severe pain made Niu Lu Zhangjing dare not move, carefully raised his right hand and waved, and said loudly: "The warrant is no problem, open the city gate!" ”

Seeing this, Ibai at the head of the city hesitated for a moment, and after a moment, he said to the left and right: "Open the city gate, and mobilize another thousand warriors to come and guard it." ”

"Huh!"

Soon the city gate opened, Xu Ming waved his hand to the back, and Dong Yun, the general manager of the left post, immediately led his troops through the city gate, and then dismounted one after another inside the city gate.

Although the officers and men of the cavalry battalion are all fighting on horseback, they are still divided into pikemen and bird guns, but the bird guns equipped by the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are specially made, that is, the overall length is shorter than that of the infantry, which is convenient for shooting on horses.

At this time, Dong Yun arrogantly said words such as "rest" and "wait" in Mongolian dialect, and at the same time commanded his pikemen to assemble on the periphery, and the bird gunners lined up behind, quietly occupying the area around the south city gate.

At the same time, Du Zhongming, the general manager of the right outpost, was also about to lead his troops into the city, but at this moment, that Niu Lu Zhangjing violently pushed Xu Ming away, and then turned around and ran: "Ming army!" They are the Ming Army! ”

Xu Ming roared, and threw the dagger in his hand, hitting Niu Lu Zhangjing's cheek and piercing his head.

After killing Niu Lu Zhangjing, Xu Ming turned over and yelled: "Kill in!" ”

Picket officer Lu Yuan and the officers and men of the Chinese army charged one after another, and in the blink of an eye, they killed all the dozen infantry soldiers of Niu Lu Zhangjing.

Du Zhongming, the general manager of the right outpost, was leading his subordinates through the city gate at this time, and the soldiers of the left outpost had already exchanged hands with the 1,000 Mongolian soldiers with white flags who rushed over.

I saw Dong Yun roaring loudly: "Fire!" ”

The left sentinel fired a volley at the Qing soldiers crowded in the streets and alleys, killing and wounding a large number of people in an instant.

The Qing soldiers who came from the city were also stopped by the pikemen in front, and the soldiers on both sides fought each other with spears and broadswords, and hundreds of Qing soldiers could not rush through the battle formation composed of cavalry battalion soldiers, and the large group of men and horses were blocked on the road of the city wall.

"Earthquake Thunder!"

Dong Yun gave an order, and more than a dozen sword and shield hands began to throw the earth-shaking thunder, at this time, the Qing army was large in number and very dense, and the killing effect of the earth-shaking thunder was very good, and it was a large area when it exploded.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering thunderbolt knocked down a nearby house, sending flying debris and wood chips to the city.

At this time, Yibai looked at the city gate that had been occupied by the Lingshanwei New Army, and looked at the warriors in the banner who were pressed and beaten by the Lingshanwei New Army, and his heart was full of anxiety.

Yantou Town is the army's grain storage land, I don't dare to lose here, don't look at myself as the master of a banner, but in the eyes of the Manchurians, he is a minion, if he really loses Yantou Town, maybe Dolgon will really kill himself!

So Ibai mobilized troops and horses to rush to support, and on the other hand, he commanded the Qing soldiers at the head of the city, condescendingly released arrows, and suppressed the soldiers of the Lingshan Wei New Army who broke into the city.

Most of the right sentry officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion were crowded near the city gate, and Xu Ming and dozens of Chinese soldiers couldn't squeeze in, so they could only be anxious at the city gate.

At this time, arrows rained down on the city, and soon more than a dozen soldiers of the new army were hit by arrows, and three of them were directly shot.

Xu Ming was anxious, hesitating whether to withdraw first, he couldn't be a live target here.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang inside the city gate, and a huge fireball rose into the air, and Xu Ming even saw the roof of an entire house flying into the air. The south city gate was even more shocked, half of the city tower collapsed, and many Lingshan guards escaped on horseback, so as to avoid being hit by falling stones and wood.

Xu Ming looked up at the head of the city, only to see that the Qing soldiers were no longer visible on the city, and almost all the Qing soldiers near the city gate were shocked or died, and even the battle flag of the Qing army commander was gone.

The corpses of many white-flaged Tartar soldiers also flew in the air, like fairies scattering flowers, and then many stumps and broken arms mixed with blood and internal organs fell down, many soldiers retched, and Xu Ming also felt a burst of nausea.

"Wan Sheng!"

A burst of cheers came, the city gate was already unimpeded, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion cheered and rode their horses and rushed in, and Xu Ming and picket officer Lu Yuan led dozens of soldiers to also rush in.

When everyone entered the city, they found that the city was already a mess, with collapsed houses everywhere and corpses on the ground, most of which belonged to Mongolian soldiers with white flags.

"Your Excellency!"

Dong Yun, the head of the left post, rushed over on a ragged horse, and his whole face was blackened.

Xu Ming asked in surprise, "What happened just now?" ”

Dong Yun grinned and said, "Just now, my subordinates were in a hurry, tying together twenty sky-shaking thunderbolts in a group, tying them to a war horse, and driving the war horse to rush towards the Tartar soldiers after igniting it. A total of four of these horses were obtained, but the time was not calculated and exploded almost simultaneously. Fortunately, the four horses did not turn back halfway, otherwise the adults would not have seen me. ”

After speaking, Dong Yun laughed, this explosion not only almost blew up the city gate, but also took away hundreds of Qing soldiers in one wave, which was very happy.

Who knew that Xu Ming punched him over, and said angrily: "This place is only a dozen miles away from the main force of the slaves, such a big movement, you are afraid that the thieves will not hear it!" ”

Dong Yun was immediately dumbfounded, and said in a daze: "I, I didn't expect ......"

Xu Ming said angrily: "Why did Lord Ethics let us raid here, just because I don't want to alarm the main force of the slaves, otherwise we will directly mobilize the artillery to come over, and we will not be able to bombard the city!" ”

"So what do we do now?"

Xu Ming glared at Dong Yun and said, "Fight quickly!" In addition, if you don't receive it at night, contact the ethics adult immediately! ”

"Yes!"

Just when Xu Ming's side was anxious, Yibai was evacuating from Yantou Town in embarrassment.

The explosion at the south gate not only caused the Qing army to lose hundreds of elites, but also injured Yibai, who was riding on a war horse covered in blood at this time, and was directing the Mongolian soldiers with the white flag to withdraw from the city.

"Master, withdraw now, how can Prince Rui deal with it!"

Ibai glared at his subordinates and said, "With such a big movement, Prince Rui will definitely notice it, and reinforcements will come soon." The city is small, which is not conducive to the maneuver of our army's iron cavalry, so let the warriors withdraw immediately and surround the town of Yantou for me! ”

"Huh!"

Soon the Qing troops in the city withdrew one after another, and there were still more than 3,000 people in the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner at this time, all of whom had been assembled outside the city.

In the city, Xu Ming ordered his subordinates to search the situation in the city, and on the other hand, he climbed to the top of the city, only to see that the Qing army outside the city was moving, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Report!"

Soon the picketer Lu Yuan ran over and said, "My lord, a large amount of money and grain have been found in the city. ”

"What about the captive people?"

"I didn't find it."

Lu Yuan said: "According to a captured Qing soldier, this afternoon, the thieves escorted thousands of people in the city away in the direction of Jinan Fucheng. ”

Xu Ming angrily punched the city, and then said: "Prepare to set fire to all the money and food in the city and burn it for me!" After the ignition, the whole battalion immediately withdrew from Yantou Town. ”

"What!"

Xu Ming looked at Lu Yuan, who was stunned in place, and said: "Those Mongolian Tatars with white flags have not been defeated, they are ready to entangle us outside, such a big movement, the main force of the slaves and thieves will be killed at any time, and we have no time to transfer these money and grain." ”

Lu Yuan sighed violently, turned around and went to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for Lu Yuan to rush back to restore his life, Xu Ming immediately ordered the fire, and the cavalry battalion soldiers withdrew from Yantou Town from the south gate, and the money and food in the city were not asked, but all the heads captured in this battle were taken away.

"What!"

When Ibai received the news of the scouts and learned of the fact that Xu Ming's troops had withdrawn, fires had begun to erupt in the city, so Ibai didn't care about the pursuit and hurriedly sent people into the city to put out the fire, but it was too late.

Lu Yuan led people to deploy a large amount of gunpowder in the city, and even a lot of earth-shattering thunder, at this time, the fire in Yantou Town was soaring, not accompanied by a few explosions, those Qing soldiers did not dare to enter the city at all, just shouted in vain outside the city.

Seeing this, Ibai's face was as dead as ashes, and the wounds on his body became more painful, and he fell off his horse as soon as it was dark before his eyes.

At dawn, Duoduo led 5,000 horsemen with white flags from Manchukuo to the town of Yantou, and the fire in the city was still not extinguished, illuminating the darkness before dawn as day.

At this time, Duoduo's face was pale, and he turned his head to look at Ibai, who had just been woken up by water, and said coldly: "How many warriors have you lost in your banner?" ”

Yibai knelt on the ground and said, "Prince Qiyu, the warriors in the slave banner have lost more than 1,200 people. ”

"Where's the money and grain in Yantou Town?"

"All of them were burned by the Ming army."

Duoduo gritted his teeth and said, "Then why weren't you burned to death by the Ming army!" ”

After speaking, several Baibaya soldiers next to him rushed up and beat Yibai is violent beating, and the surrounding Mongolian generals and soldiers all lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

After the fight, Duoduo looked at Ibai, who could no longer get up, and said: "Nian knows that the withdrawal of the army is out, threatening the retreat of the Ming army, and not letting this money and food fund the enemy, so spare your life for the time being." ”

"Xie, Prince Xie Yu."

"Which Ming army did it?"

Although Dodor had probably guessed it, he still wanted to confirm it again.

"This Ming army is disguised as a Mongolian inlaid red flag soldier and horse, the flag and armor are real, and the minions did not see the Ming army's own banner. However, most of the elite Ming army is Liu Yan's department! ”

"Liu Yan!"

Duoduo called Liu Yan's name fiercely, then glanced at Yibai, and said: "I am ordered by the general and Prince Rui: the whole army will return to Jinan Mansion and station, and from tomorrow, the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner warriors will collect money and food in the surrounding area for the use of the army!" ”

Ibay's eyes lit up and he hurriedly bowed to thanks.

Some people died, but not completely......
