Han ride

Chapter 27
Li Xin in Dalinghe City didn't know what happened in Shanhaiguan, otherwise, he might have led a large group of people into Shanhaiguan long ago.

On the city wall, Li Xin led Jiang Yi and others to look to the north, and in front of him was He Kegang.At this moment, he also had a look of worry on his face.After more than a month of hard work, the construction of Daling River City is about to be completed, and there is only one finishing work left.For example, the arrow stacks have not yet been installed, and the red cannons have not yet been moved to the city wall.Although Zu Dashou and others heard that there were more and more spies from Houjin, and that the spies from Guan Ning's iron cavalry were dispatched, they did not win easily like before. Sometimes, the spies who went out might be wiped out.

"Li Xin, Houjin's cavalry is at least a hundred miles away now. Even if Huang Taiji didn't march in person, his forward must have been hundreds of miles away." He Kegang said softly.Now the Guan Ning cavalry is lost a hundred miles away, which means that the range that the Guan Ning cavalry can see today can only be a hundred miles away.

"It is impossible for Hou Jin to see Dalinghe City being built by us like this. If it is built, then Huang Taiji may not even be able to sit firmly on his throne." Li Xin watched from the top of the mountain last time. Knowing the geographical location of the Daling River, do you understand why both sides fought around the Daling River?It is really because this place is too important, the only way for the Ming army to go north and the Hou Jin to go south, such an important place, how can it be occupied by the other party.

"Li Xin, your mission has been completed, and now you can lead your guards back to Jinzhou." He Kegang said to Li Xin with a smile on his face.

"Why, you want to drive me away?" Li Xin asked in surprise.Obviously he didn't expect He Kegang to let him leave Dalinghe City.

"If you don't leave, the cavalry around you will fall into the hands of others." He Kegang finally spoke. He pointed to the hundreds of cavalry below the city, nodded, and said, "There are not many cavalry with 300 men. , but the momentum of your 300 cavalry is far above Guan Ning's iron cavalry! It's rare! It's rare, no wonder some people are jealous."

"A elite soldier is not just spent money to train, the most important thing is to actually fight." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Guan Ning's iron cavalry is very powerful, but such cavalry can only be in the city now. Lack of courage to go to war."

"Perhaps what you said makes sense." He Kegang thought for a while, and then said, "The army of Eastern captives is coming. If you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave."

"Let's go, where can we go? To Jinzhou?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "If I were Sun Chengzong, I would definitely let the Guanning cavalry withdraw to Jinzhou, or even withdraw to Shanhaiguan area. Jinzhou is not safe, let alone in Daling River City. It's a pity. Such an army is wasted in Daling River, a place that must die."

"How can you say that? Once the construction of Daling River City is completed, with Jinzhou as its back and a steady supply of food and grass, there is no danger of it falling." He Kegang obviously didn't believe it.

"There has never been absolute defense in the world. Offense is the best defense." Li Xin shook his head and said, "If I were a prisoner from the East, I would deploy heavy troops here to intercept the connection between Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and then attack the city on the edge of our city wall." Around, build a few more walls to trap us inside. Can you escape?" In fact, this is also the practice of later Jin in history.At this moment, it was just spoken through Li Xin's mouth.

When He Kegang heard the words, his face turned pale with fright, he stared at Li Xin firmly, and finally sighed: "It shouldn't be possible! We have so many cavalry here, and there are countless elite soldiers under the leadership of Mr. Sun Chengzong in Jinzhou. How can we let him go like this?" Build the wall with ease." Apparently, He Kegang still had illusions in his mind.

Li Xin could only shake his head when he heard the words, and finally said: "I can't leave at this time. If I leave, I'm afraid Zu Dashou will talk again, saying that I have become a fugitive. At that time, even Mr. Qiu Hejia Qiu can't keep it. It will also implicate himself." Li Xin rejected He Kegang's suggestion without thinking, if he escaped, he would have escaped long ago, and it is impossible to stay here.

"I know you won't leave, hey!" He Kegang sighed, and said: "Actually, I also hope that you don't leave, one more person and more strength. Hehe, don't look at Grand Marshal Zu who is as stable as Mount Tai at the moment, But in fact, he was terrified to death. You have never fought against Donglu, and the opponent is far more powerful than Guan Ning's iron cavalry. The cavalry you have encountered are nothing more than soldiers and horses flying under the Four Banners. The real elite It is in the Zhenghuang Banner, which is composed of the soldiers of Huang Taiji, the elite cavalry of the entire Donglu, and if your cavalry can defeat these people, they will be the real elite."

"Wu Xiang has already left?" Li Xin did not take He Kegang's words. Although Houjin's cavalry were very powerful, they were not as terrifying as He Kegang said. There is a kind of fear of gold.When I saw Hou Jin's army, I would be afraid. How could such an army win the battle?
"Of course he left." He Kegang sneered with indescribable contempt in his words, "He is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong's regiment, although he has military power in his hands, how can those soldiers and horses be compared with Liaodong's Guanning cavalry? However, they are needed to defend the city, so Zu Dashou asked him to go back and lead the army to defend the city."

"Does he have a son named Wu Sangui?" Li Xin asked casually again.

"You also know?" He Kegang was taken aback when he heard the words, and laughed again: "This Wu Sangui is not a simple character. Although he is the same age as you, his experience is surprising. A man of utmost filial piety, when Wu Xiang led the army and was besieged, Wu Sangui led his Wu family's own soldiers into the Donglu army and rescued Wu Xiang, and because of this, he was praised by His Majesty the Emperor."

"This person is a character." Li Xin also nodded, and said with a smile in his heart: "If this Wu Sangui is not a character, I really don't know who is a character. It’s a good story through the ages. When he became king, many people in the world would have passed away.”

"That's natural." He Kegang said with a smile: "He is in Shanhaiguan right now. If he can come in this battle, you two can meet each other, ha ha! At that time, it will be a good story."

"Hehe!" Li Xin didn't say a word of approval, if this Wu Sangui really came, Li Xin really didn't know what he should do?Maybe kill him?The so-called traitor is everyone who gets it and punishes it.Wu Sangui was also among the ranks of being executed.

"Marshal Zu is probably in a hurry this time. He asked Wu Xiang to go back, probably not for the simple purpose of bringing in reinforcements. He might also be powerless to fight against the Donglu army at Daling River!" Li Xin said softly suddenly.

"No way!" He Kegang's complexion changed, and he said slightly dissatisfied.

"Hehe! General, I think your son is also a master of guns, why don't you let me train him for a few years?" Li Xin turned and looked at He Kegang. This general treats him pretty well, but unfortunately, good people are fate Not long, and the one in front of me is the same.In the end, his death at the hands of Zu Dashou was not counted, and it was as if he was willing to sacrifice his own flesh and blood, which is pitiful and lamentable.Since this person is unwilling to leave with him, it is better to let his son come, which is also why Ke Gang left an incense.

"Oh! That's naturally good." He Kegang was taken aback when he heard the words, and said without thinking.He knew that Li Xin was not an ordinary scholar, he was even more powerful than ordinary martial arts practitioners. He used a long spear in one hand to hide and disappear, and even He Kegang himself found it difficult to guard against it.With such a person to teach his son, his son's martial arts must have progressed very quickly.

"Okay, that's it." Li Xin nodded and said.

"My lord, look, they are cavalry from the East." At this moment, Gao Meng pointed to a group of troops in the distance.Li Xin and the others looked, and they saw a group of cavalry in the distance, about 50 of them, some of them were wearing blue armor, some were wearing leather armor. The city came rushing.

Li Xin and He Kegang glanced at each other, and immediately understood in their hearts that the Donglu was really here. Before the spies probed a hundred miles away, there was no Donglu army, but there were Donglu's sentry cavalry a hundred miles away.Now it is different, Donglu's sentry cavalry has appeared under the city, and Donglu's army may not be far away.

"It's really rampant! Treat us like nothing!" It's not the first time Li Xin saw Donglu's cavalry, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so rampant. A team of 50 people was showing off their power under the Dalinghe city. , clearly not paying attention to the Guan Ning cavalry on the Daling River City.

"Li Xin, do you have the guts to go out and fight with me?" He Kegang said through gritted teeth.He was shocked by Li Xin's words, and saw anger shot from the tiger's eyes.

"Hehe, why don't I want to follow the general when he is fighting on the battlefield?" Li Xin laughed and said, "The leader is mine, what does the general think?"

"Okay, it's up to you." He Kegang looked at Li Xin the same way, and laughed, and turned to his soldiers and said, "Prepare your horse, and go out to fight with this general. This general has not been active for a long time. Let me let you go today." Let these Jian slaves see how powerful this general is." He Kegang's soldiers also followed suit and burst out laughing.

A soldier, what is a soldier is his own domestic slave, such a person is extremely loyal to himself, so the master will also take care of him, not only the food is good, but even the equipment is top-notch, often such soldiers They are all elite men selected from the vast army.

Li Xin also laughed loudly, took the long spear handed over by Gao Meng, and flew onto a black war horse without even putting on any armor. He followed He Kegang out of the city gate, whistling in his mouth, towards After that team, the golden cavalry killed them.

"General He, you're just a clown. If you need a general like you, let me, a pawn!" Li Xin's voice was very loud, and he could hear it clearly under Dalinghe City.

"Looking for death." The Donglu cavalry was planning to leave when they saw Li Xin and others coming to kill them. They were undoubtedly looking for death to fight the Ming army here.Although I don't like the Ming army, Guan Ning's iron cavalry, which is known as invincible in the world, but I can't stand the opponent's many people!This is good, before he attacked, the opponent came to kill him, and he still said such words.How can this make him bear it.Immediately, he also took a big knife and killed Li Xin.

"Dang!" There was a sound of metal and iron clanging, the tip of the spear hit the sword, the spear trembled, and the sword trembled non-stop.

"Huh!" Li Xin looked at his opponent in surprise, but he didn't expect his sure-kill shot to be blocked by him.

It's just that he didn't know that the opponent facing him at this moment was also very surprised. He was also a rare general in the Houjin court, and even Huang Taiji admired him very much, but the shot just now made his arms numb and his whole body trembling. Even the long knife can't stand it.When did these weak southern barbarians have such generals, they could beat themselves in martial arts.

"Who are you? This general does not kill unknown generals." After thinking for a while, the captain of the Golden Cavalry calmed down his whole body and pointed at Li Xin.

"What are you?" Li Xin didn't care, and the spear in his hand sprinkled a little cold star.For him, the opposite is the enemy, no matter what he is.

"Oboi is the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty!" The long knife in the young man's hand danced like a windmill, and the cold light blocked Li Xin's long spear.

"Oboi?" Li Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at the man in front of him in surprise. He was about [-] years old and had a ferocious face, but he had a pair of tiger eyes that shone fiercely. He didn't expect this guy to be a famous man in history. Oboi.

"What a powerful person, when did Liaodong have such a general, even I can't resist." Ao Bai took the opportunity to kill a few times with the long knife in his hand, and then he took a breath, and brought his horse to let him in. side.

"This Oboi is indeed the number one general in the Qing Dynasty. Such a character can actually block my long spear." Li Xin couldn't help admiring.Oboi in history had great power, seeing him today, it can be seen that this point has not been exaggerated in history, and those braids of the Qing Dynasty also respected the fact.However, Oboi is Oboi, it is impossible for Li Xin to let such a person go.Oboi is the loyal general of Hou Jin, how could Li Xin let him go.

"Brother Li, what's the matter, you need my help." He Kegang also regained his composure at this time, he was also holding a steel knife in his hand, the steel knife was dripping with blood, and there were three or five Eastern prisoners lying around him Soldiers, obviously these were all killed by He Kegang.

"These southern barbarians bully the few, and they are shameless. If I stay here, I will definitely be killed by them. I am afraid that it is not appropriate to die like this. The young man in front of me is very skilled in martial arts, and I am not his opponent. Go first." Aobai rolled his eyes, without thinking, he turned around and slashed at He Kegang.

"Oboi, you are looking for death." Li Xin's face changed when he saw this. Just because he could stop Oboi, it didn't mean that He Kegang could also stop Oboi.

"Brother Li, be safe and don't be impatient. Oops!" Then He Kegang went up to the knife, and after a loud noise, his complexion changed drastically, and he felt that his steel knife was cut into two in an instant, and a cold light slashed towards his head. Immediately all souls were lost.I sigh how this young Donglu general is so powerful.

"Oboi, Hugh is crazy." Li Xin didn't dare to be negligent, the spear in his hand rolled up the cold star, and killed Aoboi behind him.Don't say that He Kegang treats him well, but this Oboi is the number one master of Houjin, very brave, if he can kill this person, he will definitely break Houjin's spirit.

"You southerners win the few with the more, and the victory is not martial. I, Oboi, don't bother to fight with you." Seeing Li Xin coming from behind, Aobai knew that he had missed the opportunity to kill He Kegang, and he felt regretful, but he didn't. Taking it to heart, he didn't let go of the long knife in his hand, and threw it at Li Xin, but he was walking on a horse, so he didn't dare to stay.

"This Oboi is really difficult to deal with." Seeing the long knife stabbing at him, Li Xin had no choice but to pick up the long knife with his silver spear and throw it aside. When he looked again, that Oboi had gone far away. .

"If Brother Li hadn't been here today, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of this unknown pawn." He Kegang rubbed his head. He was really scared this time. He thought his martial arts were not bad in Liaodong, but in the hands of that boy, he was not. He didn't even go away for a round, which made him feel so embarrassed.

"An unknown soldier? General He was wrong. That guy is not an unknown soldier. He is a very famous figure among the Eastern captives." Li Xin drove his horse forward, looked at the figure of Oboi and said, "His name is Oboi. Great Infinity, extraordinary! If you encounter him on the battlefield, tsk tsk, you'd better be careful."

"Really so powerful?" He Kegang rubbed his head, and finally said with a smile: "What can a person be so powerful, in the end, brother Li drove him away, and got so many war horses. The head is worth a lot of silver! Come here, sweep the battlefield and go back to get the silver." As soon as the words fell, the soldiers who followed cheered, jumped off their horses, and scrambled for the money. Enemy heads.There were bursts of laughter on the battlefield.
