Da Kui carried Hu Lin Chi all the way to the bottom of the southern slope, the Ming soldiers gave way, Da Kui kept rushing into the camp all the way, Tang He followed, and disappeared into the sea of people in a blink of an eye. Under the order of Timur of the expansion of the northern slope, the flow of people rushed down the northern slope like a river, rushing towards the direction of Da Kui and Tang He's disappearance.

Marshal Xu Da stood on the top of the slope, seeing that the Yuan army had reached the bottom of the ditch, but he ordered the whole army to retreat a hundred steps. The Yuan army rushed past the bottom of the ditch in a blink of an eye, and the crowd rushed from the bottom of the ditch to the southern slope. Xu Da laughed, laughed at the unwisdom of Timur, and laughed at the stupidity of the Yuan army. The Ming army retreated in order to occupy a favorable position, while the Yuan army charged from the bottom of the ditch to the top of the slope but attacked from the back.

At the moment when the Yuan army rushed up the southern slope, the artillery in the Ming army camp was fighting and thousands of arrows were fired. The Yuan army, which had just rushed up to the southern slope, was like a mourning grass in the autumn wind under the baptism of arrow rain, and fell down in a blink of an eye. Shells bloomed in the crowd at the bottom of the ditch, and the rumbling of heaven and earth was endless.

Only this once, the Yuan army suffered heavy casualties, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to seize the southern slope. Kuangku Timur stood on the top of the northern slope, but the three corpses of the angry god jumped violently. Where did he think that the Ming army could still carry these many artillery pieces with the army after running thousands of miles. In the blink of an eye, the Yuan army at the bottom of the ditch was full of corpses, and Timur urgently ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

The first day of the battle came to an end, and the two armies faced each other across the ditch, each holding on to the danger.

Da Kui rushed back to the formation of his own army and casually threw Hu Linchi to the ground. Tang and Zema rushed to the front and shouted: "Come on, tie up Hulin Chi with me." As soon as the words fell, a soldier had already tied up Hulin Chihuada with a rope.

Da Kui looked at Tang He and sighed, "Brother Tang, I'll go back and change my clothes first." If the marshal asks, you say you don't know me. ”

Tang He turned over the saddle and dismounted, and the soldier beside him took the reins of the broadsword. Tang He asked, "Why is this?"

Da Kui said bluntly: "The marshal has another military mission to do it, and I have already disobeyed orders here." After a pause, Da Kui continued: "Don't say anything, I'll go first." Brother Tang has to do a thing or two for the younger brother. After saying that, Da Kui turned around and left, leaving Tang He stunned in place.

Tang He couldn't help but think: Hu Linchi's martial arts are comparable to his own, and Da Kui can capture him with one move, although it is unprepared, but it is too mysterious. Tang He was puzzled, remembering that Da Kui punched Hu Linchi's heart, and Hu Linchi vomited blood and fainted. But Tang He looked at Hu Linchi's heart again, and couldn't help but be even more suspicious. That Hu Lin Chi's heart and mouth are clearly guarded by heart glasses, how did Da Kui's punch work?

Although Tang He was shocked in his heart, he still did not forget to order his soldiers to beat Hu Linchi into the cage, and then quickly walked up the high slope to report to Marshal Xu Da.

When Tang He arrived, Xu Dazheng led the generals back to the Chinese army's tent. Along the way, Tang He followed everyone silently, but Xu Da said in front: "Who is the soldier who rushed into battle?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you've seen it or not, Ben Shuai will go with everyone to meet this master. "While walking, I actually passed by the Chinese military tent and went straight to the rear army. Tang He knew that Xu Da had guessed the ** score, but it was hard to say.

As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of the barracks, they could only hear the chaotic voices of people in the camp. When everyone entered the door, they saw a strange scene. What is a strange scene? Zhang Dakui was wearing a crimson official uniform, but he was standing in front of the camp tent, holding a bowl of knife-cut noodles in his hand and eating a lot. The bowl of noodles was steaming hot, apparently fresh out of the pot. Not only did he eat noodles, but there was also a piece of pickle in the bowl, and Da Kui ate it with relish.

Xu Da stood in front of the camp gate and coughed lightly, Da Kui heard the reputation and saw that it was Xu Da, and hurriedly turned around with noodles and entered the camp tent, and when he came out again, he was well-dressed as if he had nothing to do.

Xu Da led everyone to the door of the tent, and Da Kui hurriedly bowed his hand: "See the marshal." ”

Xu Da sighed: "Although the army is not as good as the place, but as the chief of the army and the dignified scholar Zuodu Yushi, how can he be as undignified as the soldiers?" This is reprimanding Da Kui, Da Kui naturally didn't dare to say anything, and nodded vigorously.

Xu Da said a few words, and couldn't help asking, "Has Master Zhang ever been to the front battle?"

Da Kui's head shook like a rattle when he heard this: "I haven't been there, the lower officials still have important things to do, how can I leave my post without permission." Saying that the carriage and horse that were still resting not far away said: "The rear army chariot and horse still need to be prepared, and it just so happened that Captain Liang of the head army cooked noodles, and the lower officials were afraid of eating on the road and making mistakes, so they ate a few bites indiscriminately." ”

Xu Da looked around and saw that the back camp was busy. Only then did he say: "As a prisoner, Master Zhang should know the importance of strict military discipline. If you see a soldier trespassing on the front, remember to give him a hundred blows. As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the generals behind him, and then said: "However, his courage is commendable, and he has captured the enemy's generals, which has greatly boosted the morale of our army." This time, even if it is worth the merits and demerits, persuade him to do it himself!"

Da Kui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "The marshal has clear rewards and punishments, and the officials are so impressed." ”

Xu Da smiled and said, "Ben Shuai will go back now, Master Zhang is busy with official business, so I won't bother much." As he spoke, he turned around and left with the generals, and Da Kui followed behind until he was at the gate of the camp. Only then did he say in a loud voice: "Congratulations to the marshal." ”

It wasn't until Xu Da led the generals to go far away that Da Kui returned to the camp. After ordering someone to clean up a little, he hurried to the former military camp. Pang Heihu was seriously injured, and Da Kui always had to go and visit.

When he came to the gate of the former military camp, he first asked the soldiers guarding the camp gate about Pang Heihu's residence, and then entered the camp.

There is nothing more tragic in the world than life and death. Pang Heihu is now seriously injured and has died of treatment, which has made Da Kui's heart like a knife. came to the camp where Pang Heihu was, but he didn't dare to enter the door. Da Kui was most afraid of such a scene, but he didn't know what to say when he saw Pang Heihu.

Tang He's voice came from inside the tent: "Brother, the dog thief who injured you was cut off by me, but he was rescued. It's the eldest brother who is incompetent and can't avenge his brother. No one spoke, and then only soup and whimpering weeping. 'Men don't flick when they have tears, but they don't get to the sad place'. Da Kui stood in front of the tent door for a long time, and finally turned around and left silently.

Although it is early spring, the spring in the north is still bleak and bitter. (In ancient times, the north of the Yangtze River was the north, and the south of the Yangtze River was the south.) ）

Da Kui followed 20,000 elite horsemen and escorted more than 100 carts to drive out. First, he traveled south and then turned west to Montenegro, originally planning to go west through Lintao in Montenegro, and then go north to Lanzhou. Thus marching can bypass the territory controlled by the Yuan army, and even if there is a Yuan army, it will only be a small group of scouts.

Now that Timur's troops are being expanded to Shen Eryu and confronting Marshal Xu Da's 200,000 troops, it is expected that there will be no more surplus troops to set up cards to intercept them. Fortunately, the journey was safe, and the team hurried overnight, and finally arrived at the foot of Montenegro at the dawn.

In order to be safe, Da Kui rode his horse a hundred feet first, but found that there were traces of a horse team passing on the road, and there were more than 500 people in the tracks. Moreover, it is from east to west. Da Kui couldn't help but marvel in his heart, Timur's hand was stretched long enough. This place is a five-day journey from Lanzhou, and there are also Yuan troops here, so it seems that this Black Mountain is not a blessed place.

The general who led the army on this trip was Xue Xian, who was brave and resourceful. He was a general of Zhao Junyong in that year, guarding Sizhou (now Si County). After Zhao Junyong's death, Xue Xian surrendered Zhu Yuanzhang to Sizhou, awarded him the command of the pro-army, and followed the army to conquer Nanchang. In the twenty-second year of Zhizheng (1362), Xue Xian was ordered to guard Nanchang and was subordinate to Zhu Wenzheng, the governor of the capital.

In April of the twenty-third year of Zhizheng (1363), Chen Youliang's army of 600,000 besieged Nanchang, and Xue Xian guarded the two gates of Zhangjiang and Xincheng. Chen Youliang's army attacked very fiercely. Xue Xian improvised the situation, during which he sent elite soldiers to attack, behead the enemy general Liu Jinzhao, and capture the deputy general Zhao Xiang alive. After holding on to Nanchang for three months, the siege was finally lifted.

In the twenty-fourth year of Zhizheng (1364), after Zhu Yuanzhang pacified Wuchang, Chen Youliang's general Deng Zhongqian guarded Xingan. The Ming army could not attack for a long time, and when Xue Xian led the army to attack, Xue Xian made a plan to lure the enemy to behead Deng Zhongqian and pacify Xingan. The prestige was so great that the nearby counties surrendered one after another. Xue Xian was promoted to Jiangxi Province to participate in politics because of his military exploits. In this Northern Expedition, the marshal specially ordered Xue Xian to accompany the army to listen.

Xue Xian ordered the whole army to stop, but said to Da Kui: "Lord Zhang, there may be ambushes on the high mountains and roads here, so we need to be careful." ”

Da Kui nodded and said with a smile: "You are the chief general, this official is the supervising army, and this march is all up to General Xue." ”

Xue Xian was not polite, and immediately ordered another 1,000 people to be sent in two groups to closely investigate the dangerous places on both sides of the road. Then send 500 cavalry to pass through Montenegro first, and the brigade of men and horses rested on the spot, waiting for the response of the reconnaissance cavalry.

Seeing that Xue Xian was commanding, Da Kui not only relieved himself. If you talk about going into battle, you still don't accept anyone. But if it comes to wit and trickery, Da Kui is convinced by everyone!

The procession came to a halt for a moment, and the soldiers pitched a rudimentary tent on the side of the road. Da Kui and Xue Xian sat on the bench at the left and right ends of the tent, and the soldiers boiled hot water and brewed two bowls of fried noodles. This fried noodles are made with white noodles and vegetable oil and stir-fried in a pan until they turn gray, that is, they are cooked. To eat, simply brew with boiling water. If you are particular about it, you need to put some sesame seeds and crushed peanuts and the like, but where will you pay attention to it during the march at this moment? It is fortunate to have something to satisfy your hunger.

Da Kui ate noodles, but asked with a smile: "The official went back to Beijing in a hurry, and several old friends did not pay a visit. I heard that General Xue and General Kang Mao Caikang are old friends, I wonder how he is now?

Hearing Da Kui mention Kang Maocai, Xue Xian's face darkened significantly. Putting down the noodle bowl in his hand, he sighed faintly: "God is jealous of the talent, General Kang died of illness on the way back to Beijing. Hearing this, the noodle bowl in Da Kui's hand fell to the ground with a 'clang' and fell to pieces, and the soup noodles splashed on the hem of his robe.
