On the official road leading to Yichang Fucheng, a cavalry of hundreds of people was galloping on horseback.

The official road of the horse's hooves was dusty, and it looked like a gray dragon from a distance.

The weather has warmed up in the past few days, much warmer than the first month, and the rape flowers have been seen to the naked eye in the countryside along the way, which is pleasing to the eye.

The smell of rape in the air is even more intoxicating.

This beautiful scenery did not make the galloping cavalry take a second look, only the horses kept whistling there, and the wind and dust quickly headed towards the east.

The department is the Huguang Admiral Dong Xueli in Guizhou to put together the pursuit of cavalry, by the commander of the standard battalion of the left battalion, the general Jin Wanyi's pacesetter, a total of more than 450 people, all under the command of the general Zheng Jukui.

Zheng Jukui was born in the Blue Banner of the Han Army, and served under Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, in his early years, and later moved to the Huguang Green Battalion because of his military merits.

I don't want this order to save it from the bloodshed.

Less than a month after Zheng Jukui was ordered to be transferred to Huguang, Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, was surrounded by Li Dingguo, the king of the Ming and Jin dynasties, in Guilin, Guangxi.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Kong Youde committed suicide and died, and eighty percent of the generals under the Dingnan Domain were killed in this battle.

And this battle also achieved the prestige of Li Dingguo, the king of the Ming and Jin Dynasties, as the "two famous kings"!

For a moment the world shook.

Dong Xueli, who knew that the Ming army was easy to walk and ride, knew that it was impossible for two legs to catch up with four legs, but the number of war horses in the Huguang Green Battalion was limited, and most of them were in other regions, and the mules and horses in Guizhou City were looted by the Ming army, so it was impossible for him to learn from the Ming army and bring out the 8,000 battalion soldiers he brought out "easy to walk".

But he had to catch up, so he had no choice but to stop in Guizhou for two days.

ordered people to go to the countryside to collect mules and horses, and sent people to transfer more than 300 war horses from the nearby garrison, and only then did they gather a cavalry.

This cavalry has only one task, that is, to catch up with the Ming army, and delay the eastward advance of the Ming army at all costs, even if everyone is dead, to drag the Ming army.

In other words, this cavalry is a dead man.

For this reason, the more than 450 battalions selected are all elite and brave soldiers.

In addition, if it is possible, Zheng Jukui, who commands this cavalry, will also send people to rush in front of the Ming army to warn the cities along the way, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Ming army pretending to be the Eight Banners of Manzhou.

The fact that Guizhou City was easily extorted by the Ming army made Dong Xueli worried.

Because this not only allowed the Ming army to easily get supplies from all over the way, but also allowed the Ming army to reach Wuchang City without much effort.

In case the governor, who had not yet received the battle report from the front, was also deceived by the Ming army and let the Ming army enter the city without any precautions, Dong Xueli did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

Under the strict order, Zheng Jukui also desperately rushed to Yichang.

The only hope is that Yichang will be able to see through the tricks of the Ming army and block them under the city.

Even if it can't be blocked, it can be contained for two days.

After two days of rapid marching, it was less than fifty miles away from Yichang City, and when he saw a small town in front of him, Zheng Jukui ordered him to rest in the town for a while.

It's not that I'm afraid that the soldiers are tired, but I'm afraid that the horses will be difficult to support.

The Admiral's horses were so small that he couldn't even do it with one man or one horse, so each cavalryman brought a mule.

On the road, mules ride for a while, horses ride for a while, and alternate in turns.

Otherwise, if you just ride a horse, unless you stop and go, or you don't reach Yichang City, the only more than 300 war horses will have to foam at the mouth and die of exhaustion.

"The front is resting, the front is resting!"

The military orders were quickly conveyed one by one by the pro-soldiers.

After entering the town, the Qing army found that like the town they had passed before, there were no traces of destruction and harassment by the Ming army inside and outside.

A few scared villagers were called to ask if there was a Ming army to fight in the past, and the villagers were also confused.

It is only said that thousands of Qing soldiers passed over a few days ago, and they have never seen any Ming soldiers.

Some people are still exaggerating the strict discipline of the Qing soldiers and the money they eat.

"These thieves are buying people's hearts!"

Zheng Jukui scolded secretly, and he actually admired Ming Jun for being able to make Qiu Wuwu to such an extent.

The style of the real Qing soldiers is definitely different from that of the fake Qing soldiers.

Regardless of whether the people in the town wanted to or not, each family was required to provide food for the officers and soldiers, and also had to help the officers and soldiers feed the horses.

The townspeople complained a lot, but they missed the official army that passed a few days ago.

Eating and drinking is also simple, boiling noodles and cooking in a large pot.

Soon, some people brought the boiled noodles in pots.

Looking at the hot noodles on the table, Zheng Jukui, who was also hungry, picked up the chopsticks and blew on the bowl, and he was not afraid of being hot, so he ate it directly.

The same goes for the rest of the generals.

Halfway through the meal, a beggar who had been squatting in the corner of a common family suddenly stood up and walked boldly towards Zheng Jukui and them, who were eating noodles.

"Where did you come from to ask for rice flowers, hurry up and get out of the way!"

One of Zheng Jukui's personal soldiers shouted in disgust as he wanted to drive the beggar away.

I don't want the beggar to be frightened by the fierce appearance of this soldier, but stared at Zheng Jukui who was eating noodles, and called out cautiously: "But Zheng An, who was originally in front of the prince of Dingnan, answered?" ”

"Huh?"

This familiar "Zheng An's answer" made Zheng Jukui, who was eating noodles, couldn't help but be stunned, subconsciously put down the bowl and turned his head to look at the beggar in surprise, and wondered: "Do you recognize this official?" ”

"Recognize, recognize!"

The beggar excitedly stepped forward and shouted, "Zheng An's answer, it's me, Turg, Una Laturg, Turg who drank with you in Wuchang City fifteen years ago!" ”

"You're Tu-sama?!"

Zheng Jukui got up in shock, looked at the beggar with a black and gray face and ragged clothes in disbelief, and couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Turge, the deputy capital of Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner.

"Ann, it's me!"

Turg seemed to realize that the ghost appearance was unrecognizable to Zheng Anda, and he caught a glimpse of a bucket of water in front of a farmer's house not far away, so he quickly rushed forward and took a handful of water and wiped it on his face.

When he turned to Zheng An again, the other party had already recognized him, and he rushed forward excitedly to "trumpet" and shook his sleeves and gave him a thousand: "Xiaguan Zheng Jukui see Lord Dutong!" ”

When the general knelt down, the other green camp generals were stunned when they saw this, and then they knelt down one after another.

"Get up, get up, I didn't expect to see you here Zheng An"

Turg's nose was so sour that he couldn't speak.

After a period of calm, he told Zheng An about how he and the general were unfortunately captured by the Ming army and how they were able to escape.

Zheng Jukui, who listened to it, was also embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the dignified Manchurian deputy capital would be reduced to this, and he heard that Lord Tu hadn't eaten a few meals, so he hurriedly asked someone to serve a bowl of noodles to Lord Tu.

Master Tu was afraid that he was really hungry, so he ate four bowls of noodles in a row before he burped, revealing an almost okay look.

Zheng Jukui looked distressed, and said with some doubts: "Since the adults desperately escaped from the Ming thief, why didn't they go to Yichang and fall here?" ”

"Yichang?"

Not to mention that this place is okay, as soon as he said this, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Ann A, take your soldiers and follow me to kill someone!" ”
