Chapter 253 Enraged Li Huan 【Request】

Just when these tribal leaders were thinking about whether they would also stand up to Dayan Khan to fight for the pioneer candidate, Dayan Khan who was sitting there suddenly said: "Daluerhua , it is up to you to lead your men and horses as the vanguard, and go south first to cooperate with King Anhua to face Li Huan."

Speaking of this, Dayan Khan looked at Daluerhua and said: "Daluerhua, I want you to be the vanguard, I hope you can start a good game for Erlang on my grassland, don't let Benhan and everyone else be disappointed. .”

Daluerhua laughed, first glanced at Botelt proudly, then bowed to Dayan Khan and said, "Don't worry, King Khan, the warriors of my Suder tribe will not let King Khan, you are disappointed, just Li Huan, who has been captured, will take the head of the king and offer it to King Khan."

Dayan Khan nodded slightly, looked at Zheng Ping and said, "Mr. Zheng, please go south with Daluerhua. Ben Khan will then lead the army across the three-sided checkpoint and go south to the Central Plains to help King Anhua."

Hearing this, Zheng Ping showed some joy on his face, and saluted Dayan Khan and said: "Zheng, on behalf of my prince, thanked King Khan. If King Khan helps, my prince will definitely be able to occupy Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places. The prince will definitely not forget Dayan Khan and the help from the Tatar Ministry."

Wuning Fort is about tens of miles away from Xidu City, and it is a frontier military fort directly facing Wuning Fort.

This time the Tatar army gathered in the capital city of Xie, and Fort Wuning could be said to bear the brunt. As the governor of the three sides, Yang Yiqing had already received the order from the imperial court to guard against the three sides and welcome the Tatars to go south at any time.

Yang Yiqing has been in Sanbian for many years, and he knows better than anyone the significance of every military formation and every fort on the three sides, and Wuning Fort can be said to be an extremely important military fort in Ningxia Border Town, its importance can be surpassed The third column.

Therefore, in this Fort Wuning, in addition to the original 500 soldiers in Fort Wuning, Yang Yiqing sent another thousand elite troops, bringing the number of soldiers and horses in Fort Wuning to as many as [-].

It wasn't that Yang Yiqing didn't want to send more troops to Fort Wuning, not to mention that Yang Yiqing had too many military forts to defend, and it was impossible for him to concentrate his forces on one place.

After all, the initiative is in the hands of the Tatars. There are more than a hundred large and small military forts in the three sides of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. It can be said that every military fort must be defended by soldiers and horses.

It is not easy for Yang Yiqing to increase the defensive force of Fort Wuning to 500. After all, there are no less than a dozen military forts that directly face the analysis capital. That is to say, even if Yang Yiqing increases Given the number of troops in Fort Wuning, the Tatars can also change their attack targets at any time.

As the scouts of both sides came into contact with each other, a large number of elite scouts died in the secret confrontation. People on both sides could feel that a big battle was coming, and it was really raining.

Woo woo

The desolate horn sounded suddenly, and the sound spread all over the place. The roar of the Ming army general suddenly came from the silent Fort Wuning: "The Tatars are coming, the Tatars are coming, let's fight, fight..."

Accompanied by the roaring sound, one after another figures rushed out, they were the defenders of Fort Wuning.

The person sitting in Fort Wuning was a guerrilla general, and the 1000 troops were led by the guerrilla general Chen Zheng.

As the guard of Fort Wuning, Chen Zheng had long been on guard against the attacks of the Tatars, so after Chen Zheng arrived, he immediately sent out all the sentries under his command, and even sent a few small teams to stand outside Fort Wuning. Several temporary fortresses were built within ten miles, each with a small number of soldiers, only three or five elite soldiers. Being able to ignite the wolf smoke as a warning first gave Fort Wuning a period of time to react.

Not long ago, several puffs of wolf smoke rose up, which immediately alarmed the defenders of Fort Wuning. Not only Fort Wuning, but also several other Ming army forts not far from Fort Wuning were also alarmed by the smoke. .

Standing on the high wall of the military fort, Chen Zheng in armor looked from a distance at the Tatars who were coming like a torrent.

Needless to say, this Tatar army is naturally the soldiers and horses of the Suder tribe who led the vanguard.

The Sudeer tribe spent a lot of money this time, almost recruiting all the young and strong men of the entire tribe, and unexpectedly gathered [-] soldiers and horses.

For a tribe with a population of only 3 to [-], this really emptied the tribe's youth. It can be said that what is left of the Suder tribe on the grassland today is a group of old and weak women and children.

Once the Suder tribe suffers heavy losses, it may not be long before the Suder tribe will disappear on the prairie.

Chen Zheng looked at the Tatars who were coming like a torrent, and said to the lieutenant beside him with a serious expression, "Have you ever sent someone to send a message to the Governor, that the Tatars have attacked."

The deputy general said seriously after hearing the words: "Don't worry, the general, the last general has sent someone to pass the news to the governor as quickly as possible."

Chen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded his head slightly, and said with a stern look in his eyes: "Okay, it seems that the Tatars chose to use our Fort Wuning as a breakthrough point to go south this time. Just die!"

Although Fort Wuning has more than 1000 defenders, it can resist for a while with the help of the military fort, but it depends on the situation.

If it was normal Tatars who went south to hit the Grass Valley, no tribe would be willing to bear the cost of hundreds of thousands of casualties to attack a military fortress.

But now it is not a small tribe on the grassland going south to fight the grass valley, but a situation where more than [-] Tatar soldiers and horses gathered to attack Daming.

In this case, since the Tatars had chosen Fort Wuning, the fate of Fort Wuning was already doomed to be breached.

It wasn't that Chen Zheng underestimated his own strength, it was because the strengths of the two sides were not at the same level at all. At least tens of thousands of Tatars attacked several forts with Wuning Fort as the core, so the fall of Wuning Fort and other forts was nothing more than Sooner or later.

After all, there are still several passes under Fort Wuning. Although those passes are not as dangerous as Fort Wuning, once they are breached, there will also be an influx of Tatars. Just walk through.

However, it is not suitable for a large army to pass through, which does not mean that it is not suitable for a small number of people to pass through.

Therefore, in the absence of reinforcements, Wuning Fort and its affiliated passes can last for two or three days, which is already the limit.

Even if the pass is breached on the first day and a large number of Tatars enter the pass, Fort Wuning will not last long.

In this case, as the guard guarding Fort Wuning, after determining the target of the Tatars' attack, he either chose to abandon the pass and escape, or he could only fight to the end, there was no other possibility at all.

The deputy general glanced at Chen Zheng and said, "General..."

As if he could guess what the deputy general wanted to say, Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "Vice general Li, don't say anything. This general is responsible for the state's favor. As the guard of Wuning Castle, he should swear to die to repay the state's favor."

Lieutenant General Li took a deep breath and saluted Chen Zheng: "The last general will lead people to defend Lanwakou, and it will definitely become the focus of the Tatars' attack."

Chen Zheng nodded, ignoring Lieutenant General Li who was leading him away, but surrounded by his own soldiers, he clenched his sword tightly, stood on top of the fortress, looked at the Tatars who were getting closer, and suddenly Jian shouted angrily: "Kill!"

"kill!"

On March [-]th in the fourth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars took the Suder tribe as the vanguard, and [-] Tatars stormed Wuning Fort. The guerrilla general Chen Zheng led the guards to fight to the death. The Tatars poured into Fort Wuning, and more than [-] guards fought to the death.

In this battle, more than [-] people were killed or injured in the Suder tribe, and Daluer Huanu, the leader of the Suder tribe, hurriedly ordered the bloody slaughter of Fort Wuning.

The guerrilla general Chen Zheng died, and more than [-] soldiers were killed and injured. Hundreds of people in the fort who had no time to escape were massacred. Pass, like a torrent entering Ningxia.

Although it has entered spring, the frontier is still cold and windy, blowing on the face like a knife.

A group of soldiers and horses were galloping on the ground at an extremely fast speed, and the Li character banner written to the mighty general was waving violently in the wind.

Obviously, this group of troops was exactly the troops under Li Huan who broke through the city of Anhua and put down the rebellion of King Anhua with a thunderous force.

Confiscating all the tyrants in Anhua City, Li Huan seized a large amount of food and grass, not only the large amount of food and grass looted from various places in Qingyang Mansion after King Anhua's rebellion, but also the large amount of food hoarded by the tyrants of Anhua City. It solved the needs of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Li Huan's command.

Originally, Li Huan's tens of thousands of horses still needed to raise food and grass, but they easily broke through Anhua City and put down the Anhua King's rebellion. need.

In this way, it can be said that Li Huan has no worries at once. After all, even if the court can raise enough food and grass for a while, it is not able to move it to Ningxia all at once. After all, the speed of food and grass is definitely not as fast as The speed of Li Huan's cavalry.

After obtaining a large amount of food and grass, he rested in Anhua City for two days and dealt with all the rebels in Anhua City. The army, led by Li Huan, rushed towards Xidu City.

Through the news from Jin Yiwei and Yang Yiqing, the governor of the three sides in Yulin Town, Li Huan already knew that the Tatar army gathered in Xidu City might go south at any time.

According to Yang Yiqing's letter, in Yang Yiqing's view, since King Anhua colluded with the Tatars, as long as Dayan Khan is not a fool, he will definitely choose Ningxia as the direction of attack.

Although attacking Ningxia is not the best choice, after all, if the Tatars want to invade and plunder, they must choose Shanxi and then go south to Gyeonggi.

The land of Ningxia is famous for its barrenness. It is definitely not as good for the Tatars to enter Ningxia as to enter the land of Shanxi and enter Gyeonggi to loot their gains.

However, if it is considered that the Tatars want to support King Anhua, then Dayan Khan will inevitably choose Ningxia as a breakthrough point, and then support King Anhua to occupy the three places of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.

In fact, Li Huan had already learned from the staff of King Anhua that King Anhua had sent Zheng Ping as an envoy to meet Dayan Khan, and asked Dayan Khan to come south to help him.

So if there is no surprise, Dayan Khan will definitely lead the army to Anhua City, let alone Dayan Khan, if he is in Dayan Khan's position, he will do the same s Choice.

At this time, Li Huan reined in his horses and ordered his soldiers to rest.

The army rested, and everything was in order.

A fast horse galloped over, and several figures galloped on the horse. Judging by their clothes, if nothing else happened, they should be Jinyiwei from Ningxia.

After verifying his identity, Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi, the leader, walked over quickly under the leadership of his personal guard Li Hu, and after paying respects to Li Huan, he said to Li Huan and others: "General, all generals, the emergency troops According to reports, the Tatars took the Suder tribe as the vanguard, and Daluerhua, the leader of the Suder tribe, led [-] strong men to attack Wuning Fort, which was captured by the Tatars yesterday."

Although they had already been mentally prepared, but suddenly they heard that Fort Wuning had been breached, and the hearts of the crowd were still heavy.

Li Huan looked at the little flag officer of Jinyi Weidao: "Quickly tell me, where are the troops of Su Deer's troops now? What are they doing?"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi officer said solemnly: "Wuning Fort guard Chen Zheng led more than a thousand soldiers to defend Wuning Fort. Although Wuning Fort was breached, no less than 2000 people were killed or injured in the Suder tribe. Daluerhua was furious. , ordered the bloody massacre of Fort Wuning, and after only one day of training, he led the remaining [-] troops to slaughter all the villages he saw. So far, no less than thousands of people have been killed by him."

Everyone's face turned cold when they heard the words, especially Li Huan's eyes flashed a murderous intent, and he suppressed the anger in his heart to look at the little banner officer.

Xiao Banner only felt a chill all over his body, only felt that the eyes of everyone looking at him were so cold, he hurriedly said in his heart: "At dawn, Daluerhua was leading his troops to slaughter Luming Town, if you don't come out Unexpectedly, the other party may not have left Luming Town at this moment."

Li Huan said in a deep voice, "How far is Luming Town from here?"

Officer Xiaoqi immediately said: "Returning to my lord's words, Luming Town is about [-] miles away from here. If you run fast, you can reach it in at least an hour."

As soon as the official Xiaoqi finished speaking, Ren Ping, Chen Ang, and Xu Ying stepped forward and said to Li Huan: "My lord, the last general invites you to fight, and please allow the last general to lead the troops to destroy this group of Tartars." Tartar."

Almost all of the more than [-] Ming soldiers in Wuning Fort were killed in battle, and the Tatars slaughtered all the way. Even according to what the little banner officer of the Jinyiwei said, the Sudeer tribe is now tens of miles away. Chuzhenzi massacred the people of Ming Dynasty, but if there is still a little blood, it is impossible not to have a little reaction.

Li Huan glanced over several people, and said with murderous intent in his eyes: "There is no need to argue with anyone, this general will lead people there in person."

As he said that, Li Huan's eyes fell on Ren Ping and said: "General Ren, you lead a group of troops to retreat to protect the army's food and grass, and the rest will follow me to Luming Town."

Ren Ping had a wry smile on his face when he heard this. He also wanted to lead the army to deal with the Tatars of the Suder tribe. Unexpectedly, Li Huan ordered his general and asked him to stay to protect the army's food and grass.

Looking at Xu Ying and Chen Ang who looked happy, Ren Ping secretly sighed in his heart. In comparison, he is a veteran in the army, and he seems to be the most suitable one to stay.

Such thoughts flashed in his mind, Ren Ping bowed to Li Huan and said: "The last general takes orders."

At first, I was a little worried that Ren Ping would not agree, but now that Ren Ping agreed, Xu Ying, Chen Ang and the others breathed a sigh of relief. : "It's hard work as a general."

The ground shook, smoke billowed, Li Huan took the lead, followed by more than [-] cavalry, like a torrent.

Luming Town was originally a small town, and there were probably hundreds of households and about [-] people in the town.

The peaceful and peaceful town in the past was broken by the invasion of the Tatars this day.

When the members of the Suder tribe entered Luming Town fiercely, the entire Luming Town was plunged into a bloody storm.

More than [-] tribesmen were killed or injured because of the attack on Fort Wuning, and Daluerhua, who was burning in anger, directly ordered to massacre [-] Ming people to bury the dead and injured warriors of the tribe.

Along the way, Luming Town was the largest town they had encountered. Following Daluerhua's order, thousands of Tatars directly flooded Luming Town.

Rape, killing, and looting are staged in Luming Town, a peaceful town. The people in the town never thought that such a catastrophe would happen one day.

Seeing their parents, wives and children being killed and ruined by the Tatars, many bloody men roared and rushed forward to fight these Tatars.

It's a pity that these are just ordinary people. Even if some people resisted desperately, it was of no avail. In less than an hour, the town of more than [-] people turned into a ghost.

Darul Hua stood at the entrance of the town under the guard of the most elite warriors in the clan, listening to the wailing, screaming, and begging for mercy of the Han people in the town, his eyes showed a bit of joy.

Wasn't the reason why his Sudel tribe fought for the vanguard position because he wanted to enter the Central Plains first to plunder?

It's just that Daluerhua didn't expect that they would suffer such heavy losses in order to break through Fort Wuning, and even the high morale of the people in Suder's department was greatly affected.

The reason why Daluerhua allowed his subordinates to kill and plunder wantonly, on the one hand, was to vent their hatred and revenge, and on the other hand, it was not to stabilize people's hearts.

After two days of laissez-faire, Daluerhua clearly felt that the low morale of the warriors under him had completely recovered, and even with the killing, the wildness in his heart was released.

Daluerhua dared to say that even though there are only 6000 troops left under his command, the combat effectiveness may not be worse than the previous [-].

There is another figure beside Daluerhua, it is Zheng Pingzheng Wen'an, the special envoy of King Anhua who went to meet Dayan Khan and implored Dayan Khan to lead an army to help King Anhua.

At this moment, Daluerhua smiled and said to Zheng Ping beside him: "Mr. Zheng, what do you think of the warriors under my command? Are they braver than those soldiers of Daming?"

Speaking of this, Daluerhua sighed a little: "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, Mr. Zheng. If you didn't come up with this idea for me, I'm afraid the morale of these people under my command would have been scattered."

If other people hear this, they must be very shocked. I am afraid that no one will think that relying on killing to arouse the evil spirits in the hearts of the soldiers of the Sudeer tribe to stabilize the morale of the soldiers. Such a cruel and inhumane method was actually given by Zheng Ping. Darul flower out of the idea.

Every time the Tatars slaughtered in the past two days, Zheng Ping followed Daluerhua, watching villages and towns slaughtered by the Tatars with his own eyes.

Zheng Ping was like an outsider, as if he didn't hear the wailing and begging for mercy from the massacred people, and he always acted extremely calm, so calm that it was shocking.

Even Daluerhua sometimes looked at Zheng Ping with a hint of fear in his eyes, obviously surprised by Zheng Ping's ruthlessness.

Zheng Ping stroked his beard, smiled slightly at Daluerhua, and said: "The patriarch's subordinates are all brave men, and now they have been inspired to kill hidden in their hearts. The idle Ming soldiers are definitely not opponents of the patriarch's warriors. "

Daluerhua laughed loudly when he heard the words: "It's Mr. Zheng's idea. If I can take the head of Li Huan's son, I will definitely ask for credit for him."

Zheng Ping said modestly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Zheng."

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a member of the Suder tribe was seen galloping towards them.

"Patriarch, patriarch, there are Ming troops rushing here."

Before the person arrived, the shout had already passed.

Daluerhua couldn't help showing surprise when he heard the words. When the man got off his horse, Daluerhua stared at him and said, "How many people have come, do you know whose banner it is?"

Now they can be considered to have entered the territory of Daming, so it is not surprising to encounter soldiers and horses of Daming in Daming territory.

Daluerhua is more concerned about the origin of the person who came. You must know that he was ordered to help King Anhua and deal with the mighty general Li Huan sent by the court.

The man shook his head and said: "A lot of cavalry, a lot of flags, but the characters on the flags are so small that I can't read them!"

"what!"

It's not that there are people among the Tatars who can read Chinese characters, but most of them are from the upper class. As for the people from the lower class who can read Chinese characters, that's a strange thing.

Zheng Ping raised his brows, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he stroked his beard and glanced at the man, saying: "You must have seen the banner of the coming man, draw the words on it for me. OK."

The man was stunned, then hesitated, lay down on the ground and drew a character for Li with extremely torquey fingers with extremely awkward fingers.

Zheng Ping looked at it for a long time before showing a sudden look, and then he frowned and said with some doubts: "No, this is the Li character banner. It is said that in Ningxia, only Li Huan, who was named a mighty general by the emperor, is qualified to fly. There are so many banners."

On the other hand, Daluerhua, who was at the side, lit up his eyes and said, "So the person is that Li Huan?"

Daluerhua didn't even think about why Li Huan appeared here, he only thought that this was an opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds. Originally, he planned to take someone to find Li Huan, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to his door on his own initiative. up.

Without much thought, Daluerhua yelled at the guards beside him without hesitation: "Blow the horn and summon the troops."

"woooooo"

The desolate horn sounded, and at the same time in Luming Town, the Tatars who were venting their animal nature were taken aback when they heard the horn sound, then reacted, and then quickly gathered towards the place where the horn sounded.

At this moment, Zheng Ping said solemnly to Daluerhua: "Patriarch Daruerhua, don't be careless, Li Huan is commanding the elite of the Beijing camp..."

Daluerhua looked at Zheng Ping with disdain and said: "What about the Beijing camp? We are not even afraid of the frontier army, so why should we be afraid of a group of abandoned Beijing camps?"

Even the Tatars knew that the most elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were the soldiers of the Nine Frontiers. As for the Beijing camp, almost all of them were turned into waste.

Zheng Ping hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, but he didn't say any more. In fact, even Zheng Ping didn't think that the Beijing soldiers and horses brought by Li Huan were the opponents of these Tatars who had unleashed their animal nature in their hearts.

The Beijing camp has not been involved in war for decades, and has already been turned into a waste. Zheng Ping himself thinks so, and naturally he will not try to persuade Daluerhua ignorantly.

But Zheng Ping still said to Daluerhua: "Patriarch Daruerhua, let's make sure that the person who is coming is Li Huan first."

If the people who came were really from Li Huan's subordinates, what Zheng Ping had to worry about was what happened to Anhua City.

Although Zheng Ping didn't think that Li Huan could break through Anhua City in such a short period of time, for some reason, Zheng Ping always felt uneasy.

Don't tell me Anhua City was breached.

Such thoughts flashed inexplicably, but were quickly suppressed by Zheng Ping.

On the other hand, Daluerhua noticed the change in Zheng Ping's expression, and just gave Zheng Ping a strange look, without thinking too much, and quickly focused on the gathered clansmen.

It seems that after a lot of killing and venting, these people are all stained with blood, and the murderous aura has not dissipated. Although many people look disheveled, the evil aura is getting stronger and stronger.

Let people know at a glance that these people are desperadoes and are not easy to provoke.

Seeing this scene, Daluerhua couldn't help but glance at Zheng Ping, feeling that the idea Zheng Ping gave him was really good.

When the morale is low, then let the subordinates go to the people of Ming Dynasty to kill and vent, and the morale will be restored soon.

Daluerhua sighed with a bit of bewilderment as if he had discovered some great secret: "It's no wonder that in the history of your Han people, there will always be people who use massacres to boost the morale of their soldiers. This method is really useful."

Zheng Ping looked at Daluerhua in surprise, he didn't quite understand what was going on with Daruerhua, but he didn't know that because of his suggestion, Daruerhua had already considered killing the people of Ming Dynasty in the future To boost the morale of your men.

The ground shook slightly, and a cloud of smoke and dust appeared in the distance. In the smoke and dust, a group of cavalry could be seen roaring towards them.
