Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 436
"Who said you have to go back now!?"

Hearing Wang Tong's words, Li Wei didn't react at first, and then his face turned pale, and regardless of the etiquette, he stammered forward and said:
"My lord, you can't spend too long outside. My young master has been outside the mouth for so long. My old..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Tao kicked his ass hard from behind, kicked him forward a few steps, and shouted in a low voice with his eyes wide open:

"Go away, you've left all of my young master's face here."

Li Wei was about to say something with a weeping face, but seeing Li Tao's ferocious appearance that seemed to eat people, he didn't dare to say more, he quickly stepped aside, Li Tao walked into the crowd, feeling that he couldn't lift his head, Wang Tong and The generals of the Tan family are his elders and bosses, the young men in the martial arts hall, and the hundreds of battalion officers and households are his peers, but the timid and cowardly appearance of his own family makes him look like a rich young man who can't see the wind and rain. People are the most ridiculed.

Thinking about the time when my family gathered a crowd to beat up Emperor Wanli for this in Huwei Martial Arts Hall, now that I am regarded as such, I really can't hold my head up.

Wang Tong shook his head, signaling to everyone not to laugh, stepped forward to pat Li Tao on the shoulder, and said:
"There is a shortage of people in Tianjin Wei. I hope you can go to Tianjin Wei to help me. You are loved by thousands of people in Xuan Mansion. Everything is going smoothly. I thought it was a good thing, but when I came to Xuan Mansion to have a look, I'm afraid it will be delayed like this." You, come back with me, you can only become a talent there, and you will have a future under my hands."

This is true, Li Tao originally planned to go back to Tianjin Wei, and he was even more moved when he heard what Wang Tong said, and he also strengthened his determination to go back. He nodded heavily at the moment, and said:
"Brother Wang, I'll go back to Tianjin Wei with you."

Wang Tong smiled approvingly, and ordered:

"After cleaning the battlefield, the car camp will be closed, and all the battalion officials and hundreds of households will come to my official's side!"

**************
"People need food, horses need grass, and people and horses need to sleep. They can't walk twenty miles a day, that is, they can walk more than thirty miles in the last two days."

Just beside the carriage in the wing room, Wang Tong said in a deep voice, and everyone around nodded slowly. The cavalry on the grassland is not fast, and they often have to advance while grazing. It is only two days before the cavalry arrives at the destination. Start to accelerate.

"But the group of Tartars who attacked our car camp rushed over before dawn. At noon, the attack stopped. After we finished lunch, they brought hundreds of Ming people. What does this mean? There is their camp not too far from here."

In the place where the battle was fierce, the situation was changing rapidly. No one would believe that those Tartar cavalry would temporarily put the Han people nearby.

"It's not too far from the Huole tribe. This officer judges that this group of Tartars is stationed in the Huole tribe to rest, waiting for our army to come, and then scouting horses and launching an attack in the early morning of this morning. Just now, the Tartars were captured by our army. After being defeated, they scattered in all directions. In the cold weather, it was getting dark again. One man and one horse lost their way on the grassland. They either died of freezing and starving or were eaten by tigers and wolves. rest.

Having said that, Wang Tong paused, his right hand clenched his fist and hit his left hand, and he raised his voice and said:

"What we have to do is to follow up and make a surprise attack at night to completely wipe out this group of Tartars."

Hearing this, all the surrounding generals were shocked, and then excited expressions appeared on their faces. At this time, General Tan said thoughtfully:

"My lord, look at the Tartar cavalry, they are also very old-fashioned. The camp of the Huole tribe is so close to here, do they dare to stay there?"

"How many times have our soldiers and horses of Ming Dynasty been out of the way? How many times have they won? How many times have they dared to pursue after winning? Let alone the infantry chasing the cavalry? This officer is just betting on their unexpected!"

General Tan pondered for a while, nodded his head in approval, and Cai Nan, who had just inspected the arrangement in the camp, interrupted and said:

"My lord, if you are good at provoking borderline provocations, if someone mentions it at that time, you will have to trouble yourself..."

Wang Tong glanced at Tan Bing and Tan Jian, and said:
"Who started this provocation first? If you don't say it, who will know. Besides, if you chase up and kill those tartars, the dead will naturally not talk too much!"

Wang Tong glanced around and saw that there was no objection from the crowd, so he said:
"The cavalry, artillery, firecrackers, and Minzhuang all stay behind, and I will lead the infantry to kill the enemy!!"

The camp that had just quieted down became noisy again. The peasants set up a big pot, skinned the dead horses outside, chopped them into large pieces and threw them into the pot, and added salt and seasonings. After a while, the aroma was overflowing. , The pancakes that have been baked a long time ago are broken into pieces and soaked in the broth. This is a good meal.

************
Chi Hei and other five Mongolian farmers and several rescued Han slaves walked at the front of the team, and Wang Tong and his personal soldiers walked behind these guides.

Li Hutou carried a lantern and walked at the end of the guards. Behind him, the light of a dozen lanterns could be vaguely seen.

Marching in the dark is on this kind of boundless grassland, and it is easy to get lost, so Wang Tong lit up a red lantern, and the battalion officers followed the red lantern, and the battalion officers wore white paper lanterns. , The soldiers of each battalion marched forward staring at the white paper lanterns.

Every half an hour, everyone stopped, and each battalion reported and rectified once, and then continued to march, cautiously, coupled with strict training on weekdays, finally no one was lost.

"When the little ones were in the north, they didn't dare to go out in winter like this. It wouldn't be frozen to death and then they would be picked up by wolves. But these brothers made it clear that you can always find a general direction by looking at the stars and the moon."

As Chihei walked, he said in a low voice, those Han people were usually imprisoned in the tribe to do hard labor, and they knew the location of the tribe, but when they were brought out today, they saw it on the way and remembered it, but followed Liwei out of the fortress Some of the soldiers were familiar with the terrain. After all, beyond the Great Wall, there were water, grass, and shelter from the wind. There were not many places suitable for the tribe to live in. Coupled with the news from the captives, they found it.

Walking at night, although there are many people, but in order not to disturb the enemy by the sound of footsteps, they are separated from each other, and there are few lanterns, which makes people feel uncomfortable, and Chihei just keeps talking there.

"In a tribe with more than a thousand people, there are always a few dogs in the tribe, and lights are lit at night to prevent people in the tribe from getting lost in the dark. The master doesn't know that he is in the south. It is really convenient to come out in the middle of the night, but he got lost. Road, died outside... so when I saw the lights, I arrived at that place... ahead."

He babbled non-stop, but suddenly stopped, and could see a low-lying place in front of him, with a few lights floating, and the Huole Department had arrived.

Wang Tong took a few deep breaths and ordered:

"Each battalion will form a team on the spot, and after the team is assembled, blow out the lanterns and stand by!!"

***************
At the edge of the residence of the Huole tribe, there were also guards on duty there, but they were all listless and drowsy. Although they suffered such a big failure at the Cheying during the day, when they returned to this settlement, everyone was Rest easy.

They didn't think that the Ming army had the courage to pursue it. How could an army nestled in a car camp pursue it at night, not to mention that the Ming army was well defended. If it really pursued, the cavalry would not be afraid of him.

There is also a sentry on the side facing Wang Tong, but he is dozing there. There is a nest that has been dug long ago. Before nightfall, he lit a fire in it once. good time.

Hearing rustling noises outside, the sentinel woke up slightly, wondering if there was a wolf, just as he grabbed the weapon at hand, the grass that covered the entrance of the nest was pushed away by someone, and the sharp weapon slammed After stabbing in, the sentry just let out a hoarse cry of pain, the man had already entered the nest, and covered his mouth with his hand, but the weapon in his hand still kept moving.

"My lord, the sentinel nests around here have all been cleared!"

Stopped on the outside for half an hour, and the several Tan family members who ran out reported back one after another. They are all people with high martial arts skills, and it is really easy to do such a thing to clear the hidden piles.

Wang Tong stood there for a while, his body was a little cold, he nodded at this moment, and said:
"Immediately issue an order, based on the official and the first battalion, the sequence of each battalion as the order, and the surrounding Huole tribe as the sideline, spread out from left to right, and after each battalion has settled down, send a hundred households to report. This officer is on fire, let's start together!!"

The soldiers who sent the order surrounded them, repeated Wang Tong's order, and immediately scattered the order. Wang Tong turned around and ordered:
"Sanbiao, you and Hutou go get some hay, the more the better."

Ma Sanbiao didn't need to come, but he didn't want to lose a fight, so he came after him.

As time went by, hundreds of households from each camp came to report, saying that the hay in front of Wang Tong was piled up more and more. Wang Tong's eyes had adapted to the darkness. Looking at the camp ahead, he whispered smiled and said:

"Tartars really don't worry, the horses are all in the stables on the edge of the tent area, won't you bully us!!"

Sun Xin behind him had already lit a handful of hay with a flint and scythe, and Chi Hei picked up the skin bag and sprinkled the oil on the haystack in front of Wang Tong. Wang Tong took the lit straw and threw it on the fire, Once the oiled haystack was ignited, it immediately burned blazingly. With the flames together, the sound of armor and weapons vibrating from the first battalion behind Wang Tong could be heard, spreading away from both sides. Wang Tong laughed loudly. , pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, and said loudly:
"Kill! Kill all the Tartars!!"

After he finished speaking, he strode down, and around where Huo Le's troops were, officers and soldiers from all battalions of the Huwei Camp stepped down one after another.

Between the tents of the Huole Department, the dogs barked crazily...
