Chapter Ninety-One: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Seeing that the number of Ming troops led by Da Kui was similar to that of the other side, Timur couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart: 'Although there are 1,000 soldiers and horses under his command, these 1,000 people have been fighting for three days and three nights, and they are tired of people and horses, and this time our army is resting!'

"The whole army listens to the order, if anyone can fight out of the siege and cross the river with me, a reward of thousands of gold will seal a thousand households. Timur beat his spirit, but as soon as the words fell, there were several 'poofs' after the words, and three or five people fell off their horses. The soldiers under his command are tired, sleepy and hungry, and it is difficult to even sit firmly on the horse, how can they fight again?

Da Kui walked forward with a thousand Ming troops, but he was not in a hurry to start a war when he saw the thousand-yuan army of Kuangku Timur. First, he set up a wild goose marching array, and then Da Kui rode forward alone and came to a place more than ten zhang in front of Timur.

"General Kuangkuo has always been good, hasn't seen him for months, but he has been cleared!" Da Kui greeted with a haha.

Timur couldn't help but curse in his heart: After three days of hard fighting, he didn't sleep for three days, and it was strange that he didn't eat water and rice, and he didn't lose weight.

Da Kui fumbled in the saddlebag for a while, took out a paper bag, and when he opened the paper bag, it turned out to be a piece of cooked beef. Da Kui put the beef under his nose and sniffed it, and immediately praised: "This meat is boiled, it is the craftsmanship of Lanzhou Qiweiju." After speaking, he ate in front of the two armies, and he took out a water bag with interest, and drank while eating. Timur's soldiers smelled the smell of wine and meat from a long distance, and their chests were pressed against their backs when they were already hungry, and then they smelled the smell of wine and meat, which was really gluttonous.

Kuangkuo Timur knew that this was Zhang Dakui's trick, and immediately shouted: "Zhang Dakui, what do you want?"

Da Kui waited to swallow the wine and meat in his mouth, and then raised his voice: "As long as you put down the knife and gun, the one who descends will not kill the wine and meat." ”

Although Timur was speechless, a guard behind him rode out on his horse and shouted: "Temujin's descendants, only those who died in battle are not scared to death, let the horse come!" Before the words fell, an object shot out, and the guard rolled over and fell under the horse with a snort of pain.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the guard on the ground, only to see that his mouth was full of blood, and he got up and spit out something, which was actually the wooden plug of the water bag in Da Kui's hand. Da Kui used the wooden plug as a hidden weapon, and this time he actually knocked out the front teeth of the Yuan army guards. With such a distance of more than thirty paces, this small wooden plug could hit so far, and the strength of the head was really terrifying.

Da Kui threw the water bag in his hand, still casually saying: "If you don't descend, it's not that there is no workaround." ”

Kukhor Timur hurriedly asked, "What else do you want?"

Da Kui said solemnly: "Promise me three conditions, and this official will let you live." ”

Timur knew that today's turning point was here, and he responded cheerfully: "Tell me, what are the three conditions?"

Da Kui was not verbose, and said bluntly: "First, put down the knife and gun and hand over the property. Second, in the future, they must not set foot in the land of China. ”

When Timur heard this, his heart was shocked, and his generals could no longer fight, so he put down his swords and guns. It was nothing to hand over the property, and the army brought a lot of gold and silver with him. But this is not allowed to set foot in China, but there is no chance of even counterattacking and recovering the country. Timur was still hesitating, and the generals behind him did not say a word, waiting for the general's words.

Da Kui laughed coldly: "Now you will die if you wait for the war, it is better to return to the north to enjoy your old age in peace than to die in vain." Your Wang Baobao is originally a Han Chinese, but he is dedicated to working hard for the Yuan Court. Even if you don't have a pity to die, you have to think about the subordinates who follow you, and you can bear to let your brothers shed blood and die?"

Kuangku Timur pondered for a long time, then nodded and gritted his teeth and said: "I rely on you for both of these things, and what is the third thing?" If it weren't for his wife and unborn children on the north bank of the Yellow River, Timur would have really wanted to die in battle.

Da Kui asked, and asked in a cold voice: "You have to answer the confusion in my heart, how did you kill General Chang Yuchun?"

When Timur heard this, he was taken aback and hurriedly said: "How can I, Timur, stand up to the heavens and the earth, do such an unrighteous thing? Today, when you ask each other, I can only tell you that it was my lord and the emperor who invited masters from the rivers and lakes in Yunnan to do it, and it has nothing to do with it. ”

Da Kui continued to ask, "Who is it?"

Kuangkuo Timur sneered: "Although Kuangkuo is in the military, he also talks about the morality of the rivers and lakes. Even if you die, you will not betray others. This sentence is categorical and unhesitating.

Da Kui nodded and said, "Since you say so, I won't be difficult for you." Put down your guns and hand over your money. ”

Timur took a deep breath, and then ordered his subordinates to put down their knives and guns and take out their money. But Da Kui smiled and said: "The armor naturally has to be taken off, and the horses must also be left." ”

Hearing this, Timur said angrily: "It doesn't hurt if you take off your armor, but if you don't have horses, how can you travel?"

Da Kui looked like a profiteer, and said with a smile: "A war horse can be sold for dozens of dollars, how can these more than a thousand horses be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, how can such a huge amount of money be easily let go?" Behind him, the Ming army suddenly agreed, and more than 100 people rushed over with hulala.

Timur sneered while dismounting and taking off his armor: "I can't think of a dignified and famous court, but he is just a person who blocks the road and robs the house." ”

Da Kui only smiled and didn't answer, just like this, he watched the Yuan army take off his armor one by one, but his heart moved for no reason. I saw that the Yuan army took off his armor and was all gray in one color, and even Timur was the same. Da Kui woke up suddenly, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back." The words fell, and the bowstring on the opposite side made a loud sound, and then a black and oppressive arrow rain was shot from the crowd of the Yuan army, and there was a terrible scream in the sound of 'Xiuxiu', and the more than 100 soldiers of the Ming army who rushed over were all shot like hedgehogs and fell to the ground in a blink of an eye.

Da Kui only felt the anger in his chest, and shouted with an iron gun: "Kill them all." "When he first rode a horse and a gun and rushed towards the crowd of the Yuan army, the Ming army behind him was also extremely angry, and followed to kill the Yuan army.

In just a distance of more than ten zhang, it was difficult for the Ming army's war horses to increase the speed of the horses to the fastest in a moment, so the impact of the cavalry was greatly reduced. The Yuan army succeeded in deceiving, picked up swords and guns one after another, and the rushing Ming army was strangled in one place without fear.

Da Kui stabbed more than ten people one after another, but his heart was full of eagerness. This vast crowd went there to find Timur, if the Yuan army did not remove the armor, Timur was very eye-catching in silver armor, and it was easy to find. But at this moment, more than 1,000 troops are dressed up, and they are in the wilderness. Trying to find Timur is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Yuan and Ming Dynasty each had 1,000 men and horses, and they fought for their lives in the wilderness on the south bank of the Yellow River. Although the Yuan army was a battle-hardened elite soldier, the Ming army took advantage of the well-equipped. This kind of battlefield fighting, with armor and a cloth coat, is really a world of difference. Even so, casualties on both sides have been nearly equal.

Swords and guns collided and shouted to kill the sky, and Da Kui charged invincible in front of the blockers, until the last Yuan army fell to the ground, it was already nightfalling. When he turned around and looked again, there were less than 100 soldiers of the Ming army who followed him. Although the Yuan army was completely killed in this battle, the Ming army was also ten losses**.

"All the soldiers listened to the order, and as soon as possible to find Timur, and those who got his first rank were promoted to a thousand households. "Da Kui was covered in blood but not tired when he rode on a horse and ordered the soldiers of the Ming army. The subordinate soldiers hurriedly dismounted and scattered to search, but the corpses were bleeding everywhere, and it was even more difficult to find someone.

Da Kui knew that this matter was not trivial, so he sent people back to Lanzhou to move troops. During this night, the south bank of the Yellow River was ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the villages along the river were also under martial law by the Ming army. The place where the two armies of the Yuan and Ming dynasties fought was surrounded by the Ming army inside and outside the three layers, and each corpse of the Yuan army wiped the blood on the face clean, checked one by one, and was busy until dawn and there was no trace of Timur.

Da Kui's heart was still frightened until this moment, and Timur was defeated by a thousand tired troops and a well-equipped Ming army. Timur took advantage of the chaos to get out, and his soldiers fought to the death, but none of them were afraid. Such an army is really scary. Da Kui has come down the mountain since he fought his art, and this kind of vicious battle is the first time in his life. For the ability of Timur to expand the army, Da Kui is really beyond his reach.

When I returned to Lanzhou, I saw Xue Xian, Zhang Wen and Mengge District Sledgehammer waiting in the hall early as soon as I returned home. Seeing Da Kui enter the hall, Xue Xian stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Lord Zhang, has this trip been fruitful?"

Da Kui sighed helplessly: "A thousand men and horses were lost, but they never captured Timur. Without waiting for everyone to ask again, he went straight to the back hall to bathe. After fighting all night in blood, his body was sticky and uncomfortable, and after bathing and changing, Da Kui suddenly felt refreshed.

Yang Xiaohu prepared the meal early, and Da Kui went to sleep after eating, and slept until sunset.

When Da Kui was resting, Xue Xian learned from the soldiers who went out of the city with Da Kui that all the 1,000 personal guards of Kuang Kuo Timur had been killed in battle, and the purpose was to get rid of the golden cicada. Xue Xian thought about it again and again, and immediately sent two teams of people. One team crossed the river by boat to search for Timur's traces, and another team assisted the previous search team to search for it again, so that after three days, news finally came.

Tan Malay News: After Timur took advantage of the chaos to get out, he actually found dead wood and crossed the Yellow River. In the stone city of Baitashan on the north bank of the Yellow River, there are still more than 100 people waiting for Timur's wife and relatives. At this moment, Timur and his family had fled to Horin.

Da Kui felt sorry in his heart, but he didn't care about Xue Xian's aftermath. Under the death of Timur's entire army, he must have been a frightened bird, and even if he was alone, how could he be captured by two groups of pursuers? For now, we can only wait for the arrival of Marshal Xu Da's army and then discuss the strategy.

Nowadays, Da Kui has only one wish, that is, to retire early and return to his hometown.
