Chapter 165: Engaging the Enemy

"The damned Mongols are not human beings at all, they burn and loot everywhere, they actually kill the old and weak, women and children. Everywhere they went, they killed all the old and weak women and children, and then plundered the young and middle-aged people for them to work as coolies, and our brothers had already seen more than a dozen villages slaughtered by them along the way south, and what was even more hateful was that some of the people who were killed were only swaddling babies, these brutes! I, Geng Ming, would kill them all one day sooner or later!" Hero, your martial arts are so high, why don't you take our brothers to kill the Mongolian Tatars! Let us avenge the compatriots who died. ”

Mi Tu looked at Geng Ming's excited appearance, and naturally knew his intentions, but he raised his hand to hold his fists and said: "Brother, don't be impatient, now that the Mongolian people are brutally and wantonly slaughtering our compatriots, it is natural to teach them a good lesson." ”

The Geng brothers suddenly perked up, and they all looked at Mitu eagerly, but they heard Mitu continue: "It's just that your brothers are going to escort their families now......"

Without waiting for Mitu to finish speaking, Geng Ming immediately said: "Don't worry, the hero doesn't have to worry, from here thirty miles to the north is Geng's family fort, where are our clansmen, as long as we escort our family to wherever we are." ”

"Geng Jiabao?" Mi Tu suddenly felt confused in his heart, and thought to himself: "Since this Geng brother has Geng Jiabao to stand on, why do they have to escort their family members to flee south?

Geng Zhong was more stable than his younger brother Geng Ming, and immediately saw the confusion of Mitu, and quickly explained: "We are a branch of the Geng family in Gengjiabao, so we left the fortress a few years ago to develop separately, but I didn't expect to suffer such a disaster now, we originally wanted to hide in the village, but we didn't expect to encounter this group of Mongols before we got close to the walled gate, and it was really thanks to meeting the heroes to survive." As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Mito.

He knew a little bit about the battles in those big families, and there was no need to doubt the two Geng brothers, so he held Geng Zhong's arms and said, "Okay! In that case, then we will escort your family to Geng Family Fort together." ”

The Geng brothers who have Mitu with them are naturally unable to ask for it, and they are even more grateful to Mitu. Mitu waved his hand and smiled: "Don't be a hero, a hero, call me like this, in the next Mitu, in the future, we will be commensurate with each other." ”

At this time, the Geng clan also approached one after another, and they were even more grateful to Mitu. Geng Zhong and Geng Ming hurriedly helped one of the old men in their fifties to Mitu, and the old man bowed deeply to Mitu and said: "Little old man Geng De, the old man has nothing to thank for the grace of the hero's life, so he can only send the two dogs to the hero's door for the hero to drive." As he spoke, he said to the Geng brothers: "Quick, kowtow to the hero!"

Mitu has always been very respectful to the old man, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't say that, my husband, this is all within the scope of the next thing, as for the title of 'hero', don't mention it again, I really can't afford it." ”

"Deserved, deserved. Geng De said in a loud voice: "You have chivalrous intentions, and now you are even more said to have killed so many Mongolian thugs, and saving people from fire and water can naturally be called a 'chivalrous'; ”

Mi Tu's face was a little feverish, but he didn't know how to refute it, but he heard Geng Ming say with encouragement: "That is, that is, in the future, we will kill the Mongolian Tartars, and we should have a loud title, since Mi Daxia's trip is for the national righteousness, why don't you call it 'Han Xia'?"

Mi Tu was even more stunned, "I haven't thought about whether to take their brothers north with me, why is this decided." I heard Geng De say to Geng Ming with some appreciation: "I said that your kid has always been very confused, how can you open up today? Well, the name 'Hanxia' is good." ”

Mitu was speechless for a while, so he had to urge everyone to set off.

Most of the people in the group were old and weak, women and children, and the speed was naturally not fast, and thanks to the Mongolian cavalry who sent dozens of war horses as foot strength, the action was not too difficult. Along the way, everyone walked and talked, and Mitu gradually had a clearer understanding of the situation outside the customs.

Because Zhu Di transferred all the elite of the Ming army in Liaodong and Daning into the Guannei to fight, the defense of the Ming army outside the Guanguan was very weak, and they were unable to confront the Mongolian army head-on, so they could only retreat in a few cities to protect themselves; now the entire land outside the Guanwai can only confront them with the "Duoyan Sanwei" department, but the Duoyan Sanwei seems to have reached some kind of agreement with the Mongolians, the Mongolian army does not disturb the Duoyan Sanwei tribe, and the Duoyan Sanwei also turns a blind eye to the actions of the Mongolian army. This further fueled the arrogance of the Mongolian army, they went deep into the Ming Realm and rampaged, simply regarded the entire Saiwai and Liaodong as their own hunting grounds, and the only people who suffered from it were the Han compatriots outside the country, countless villages were slaughtered every day, and the blood of countless compatriots was spilled all over the land outside the Guanwai.

Thirty miles away, until the head of the west of the group approached Gengjiabao, just about to turn a corner, Mi Tu suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone.

Geng Zhong immediately became vigilant, and asked Mi Tu a little nervously, "Mi Daxia, what's wrong?"

Along the way, Mi Tu had reluctantly accepted everyone's address to him, and he whispered to Geng Zhong: "There should be a large group of men and horses fighting ahead, quickly take your family to the woods over there to hide." ”

When Geng Zhong heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered Geng Ming to do what Mi Tu ordered, but he said to Mi Tu: "This place should be only two or three miles away from Geng Jiabao, is it possible that the Mongols are attacking Geng Jiabao? Mi Daxia, I will go to the front with you to have a look." He listened intently, but received no useful information.

"No, you two brothers can protect their families again, and I'll just go by myself. Mi Tu didn't think about it and immediately rejected Geng Zhong's suggestion, the Geng brothers are brave, but after all, the martial arts are not very high, if they really encounter the Mongolian cavalry of the brigade, they may only be able to become a drag on themselves.

Geng Zhong thought about it and had to obey Mitu's orders, he was a little worried on the side of the road, watching Mitu run up to the dirt ridge at the intersection in front. When he looked into the distance, he saw a rather large manor towering more than two miles below the ridge, which was defended by high walls but was now in the midst of a great crisis.
