Seeing that it was a mess, the owner of Hu Zhai said loudly: "Folks, be quiet, I have something to tell you." Immediately everyone calmed down, and the lord of Hu Zhai waved his hand to Lingyu and said loudly: "This is Lord Zhang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who killed traitors and rectified corrupt officials, and is also the Flying Tiger General sent by the emperor to fight the Mongolian soldiers. ”

An old man said: "General Zhang, you are a good man, a good official, and a benefactor of our people! After saying that, kneeling on the ground, the others knelt down when they saw this, Lingyu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up, and said, "Old man, you don't have to do this big gift, this is what I should do." After speaking, he said to everyone: "Villagers, get up quickly! The imperial court did not guard the border well, and everyone suffered, this is not the official, I apologize to everyone." After saying that, everyone stood up after kneeling and bowing.

The old man said: "We have all heard, Lord Zhang turned out to be a wonder man of the rivers and lakes, because he saw the traitorous ministers and the people suffer, so he helped the emperor to kill the traitorous ministers and rectify the corrupt officials, you are the biggest good official in the minds of our people, you have just been an official for a short time, how can you blame the adults for the invasion of the Mongolian soldiers?" The people said in unison: "You can't blame Lord Zhang." Another humanitarian: "If you want to blame it, blame those border guards, who usually show off their might to the people, and as soon as the Mongolian soldiers come, they abandon the city and flee, regardless of the life or death of our people." ”

Lingyu said: "Don't worry, this time we must let the Mongolian soldiers know that our Ming army is powerful, and I promise to capture Dehua City the day after tomorrow, and you can go home." The people cheered and said, "We can go home." A young man said, "Master Zhang, I want to join the army and fight the Mongols with the adults, I don't know if the adults want it." Lingyu said: "Yes!" Ah Hu said: "My lord, I also want to join the army." Lingyu said: "Okay, take it." Then there were many people who wanted to join the army, Lingyu said: "It's a good thing for everyone to join the army to fight the Mongolian soldiers, but you need to be strong to fight." Killing skills, I don't want you to die in vain on the battlefield, because now you have to go to the battlefield as a soldier, and there is no time to train you. Ah Hu said: "Don't worry, my lord." I'll be bullish. ”

Hu Zhai said: "Lord Zhang, please go to the house." Lingyu said: "Okay, Lord Hu Zhai, please." After speaking, he walked towards the village with the owner of Hu Zhai, and Hu Yanchun said: "Lord Zhang, I also want to join the army." Lingyu said as she walked: "We don't accept female soldiers. Hu Yanchun said: "Lord Zhang, you are lying. The master of Hu Zhai immediately scolded: "Chun'er, don't be rude to adults. Lingyu smiled: "Don't blame her, Master Huzhai, let her say okay, how did I deceive people." Hu Yanchun looked at his father and didn't dare to say. Hu Zhai said: "If Lord Zhang tells you to say it, just say it!" Hu Yanchun said: "Just now the Lord brought a female soldier." ”

Lingyu said with a smile: "You said Xiang'er! She is not an ordinary soldier, she is the princess Lianxiang who was sealed by the emperor, and she is also a general of a thousand households, with high martial arts, and she was personally sent by the emperor." Hu Yanchun pouted and said, "That's the case! "Let's talk about it, I came to the house of the owner of Hu Zhai, and entertained Lingyu with good wine and food.

After Lingyu was full of wine and food at the Hu Zhai master's house, she came to the entrance of the village with the Hu Zhai master, and Ah Hu greeted him and said, "Master Zhang." The small ones choose one hundred and five, all of them are good skills. Lingyu said, "Okay, when you have eaten, you will follow me to the barracks." Ah Hu said: "My lord." We've all eaten, and we're going to the barracks with the adults at any time. Lingyu said: "Okay, let's go now." After speaking, he said goodbye to the lord of Hu Zhai, and the people who fled said that they would send off Lord Zhang, and Lingyu said: "Everyone can return to Dehua City the day after tomorrow." The people said in unison: "Lord Xie." ”

Lingyu and Ah Hu walked towards the mouth of the valley with one hundred and five young strong men, and the master of Hu Zhai did not go back until he was outside the gate of the valley.

Lingyu took Ah Hu and them to the barracks. Give them to General Soldier Yang and ask General Soldier Yang to teach them military rules and discipline and general military common sense.

After dinner the next night, Lingyu's big tent was full of people, including the ten captains of the Flying Tiger Army and a few of them. There are also Yang Zongbing, Yao Hongtao, Liu Mingguo, and their officers above the thousand-household level. Lingyu saw that everyone had arrived, and said: "The enemy has many generals, and it is not easy for us to kill them head-on, the day before yesterday, we were outstanding soldiers, and we killed many of their generals in a row, plus the Flying Tiger Army bravely killed the enemy, causing the enemy's panic to become a big mess, and they stepped on each other." I don't want to kill them all in this siege, leave the north gate for them to escape, carry the corpses of the province, and when they are driven to the grassland, when our army arrives, we will start killing them again, and we must drive them to Mobei. ”

General Yang said: "General, you can give the order! We will fight bravely to kill the enemy." Lingyu said: "The Flying Tiger Army, the first team, the second team, and the third team will attack from the east gate, and the city gate will be opened by Chang Yue'e, Hong Xia, Hao Yan, and Ma Junlan, and Yao Hongtao will take your generals and two thousand soldiers and horses to attack the east gate with the Flying Tiger Army." "Chi Changsheng, Zhang Yang, Li Yue, Yao Hongtao, they all obeyed their orders.

Lingyu said again: "Eight teams, nine teams, ten teams, you attack from the west gate, Liu Qingyang, Hong Feng, Tong Yunfei, Yin Caihong, Xiang'er are responsible for opening the city gate, Liu Mingguo with his generals and 2,000 soldiers with the Flying Tiger Army behind the attack on the west gate." "Zhao Lei, power delivery, Xia Yu, and Liu Mingguo all said respect.

Lingyu said: "Xia He, Qiu Ju, Dongmei and I opened the south gate together, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh teams followed to attack, and General Yang led the soldiers to follow into the south gate." "Wang Xing, Zhou Chen, Yang Feng, Zhu Yun, Yang Guangyao, and the general soldiers, they all said respect. Lingyu said: "Grain and grass are heavily guarded by a few soldiers, now everyone goes back and immediately sets off, the third watch opens the city gate on time and enters the city, most of the troops in the city live in the section of the crossroads, there are about 20,000 horses, everyone act!" After speaking, the generals walked towards the outside of the big tent.

Besides, the day before yesterday, the adjutant general Arutai saw Lingyu's move and beheaded their general Mahamu, followed by a few more generals, and turned around in fright to urge the horses to run, and some generals also ran away when they saw this, so the army was in chaos, and countless people died in the trampling, and the horse infantry who fled with him totaled about 8,000 people. They panicked and fled straight to Dehua City, and Arutai came to the south gate of Dehua City with the remnants of the defeated army, and shouted: "Listen to the defenders, open the city gate quickly." An officer guarding the city at the head of the city said: "General Arutai, why did you come back with your troops, why didn't General Mahamu come back?" Arutai said: "You open the city gate first, and then talk to you when you go in." ”

The officer guarding the city said, "Okay, I'll order someone to open the door." After speaking, he said: "Put the drawbridge and open the city gate." Seeing that the drawbridge was slowly falling, Arutai kept looking back, afraid that Lingyu and them would chase after him, and when he saw that the drawbridge had just landed, he rode his horse and rushed over, and then the gate also opened. Arutai rushed into the city of Dehua, and the deserters who came back also ran into the city, and when Arutai saw that the men and horses had entered the city, he immediately lifted the drawbridge and closed the city gate.
