Blood from Daming

Chapter 311 Flood
Xue Yun, Jiang Xi, Peng Langjun and others watched Wang Erwa trot all the way to everyone carrying a few fish. Wang Erwa proudly mentioned the red, yellow and yellow fish and said to Xue Yun, "Young Master! , I heard from the Mongolian men that the red fish in this small river is very delicious, it is thin, tender and has no fishy smell, and I will make crispy fish for the young master at night."

Xue Yun looked at the red fish carried by Wang Erwa, each weighing two to three catties, and said to Wang Erwa: "This fish is too big, I'm afraid it won't work dry, it should be very good for making soup or steaming." .”

Seeing that the young master had a good attitude, Wang Erwa was also very happy, and handed the fish to the soldiers around Xue Yun, Xue Yun still taught Wang Erwa a few words: "You are now the boss, don't go After doing these chores, I understand your loyal young master, you have to learn to do great things, you know."

Wang Erwa seemed a little embarrassed when she heard this, and Hadan Zhaorige, who was standing beside Xue Yun, asked, "This red fish is the god fish of our Mongolia. My lord caught so many at one time. Your luck is really very good." what."

Wang Erwa pursed her lips and said, "There are a lot of red fish in the river, even golden ones."

Hadan Zhaorige said: "My lord, the little thing is that this kind of magic fish is very difficult to catch."

Wang Erwa looked at Hadan Zhaorige with some surprise and said: "This kind of red fish is very good in the small river ditch. If it is not dark, Ben Qian always asks his men to go down and pick up a few baskets of it."

Hadan Zhaorige heard Wang Erwa's words and said: "General, there is something weird in the river, can you go over and have a look."

Xue Yun was surprised when he heard Hadan Zhaorige's words, and said: "Okay, this general will go with you."

Hadan Zhaorige ran to the river regardless of etiquette. When Xue Yun led the crowd to the river, Hadan Zhaorige had already crawled out of the creek ditch. Under the light of the torch, everyone could see Hadan clearly. Zhaorige was covered in black mud.

Hadan Zhaorige knelt forward and said to Xue Yun: "Master General, the water in the creek is very scarce, maybe the upstream has been blocked by someone."

Xue Yun said in surprise: "I have already sent someone to look at the river water, and there is no sign of the river water decreasing."

Hadan Zhaorige said: "My lord general, the enemy should have started to store water a few days ago. Otherwise, it is the season when the snowy mountains turn into water. How could the god fish on the grassland be trapped in the shallow grass?"

Xue Yun was shocked when he heard Hadan Zhaorige's words, regardless of whether Hadan Zhaorige's words were true or not, he immediately ordered all his soldiers to go back and inform the Datong army to quickly evacuate the camp and gather to the south.

When Xue Yun rushed back to the camp, the soldiers who had just laid down to rest were called up, and the entire barracks looked very messy. Although Xue Yun's personal soldiers called for everyone to move, they had never experienced such a large-scale sudden evacuation. The soldiers were very hesitant, still watching each other.

Xue Yun was furious when he saw it, and immediately stepped forward and shouted to the officers and soldiers of the camp: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order, immediately set up their horses and head south, and leave the camp for ten miles to stand by. No luggage or tents are allowed to be taken away, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."

After Xue Yun passed the order, he immediately took his own soldiers to the Chinese Army to check the evacuation of the Firearms Battalion. The ammunition, explosive packages, etc. in the Firearms Battalion belonged to him, and he had to take them all away no matter how critical the situation was, but Xue Yun came When I went to Huoqiying, I relieved a lot of worries in my heart.

Yu Si, Ji Tian'en, Lian Xiong Wei and the others had already set up the carriage and loaded everything except the tent, Yu Si hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Xue Yun, Xue Yun asked, "Fourth, why haven't you evacuated yet?"

Yu Si: "General, I will leave immediately."

Xue Yun saw a soldier preparing to collect the tent, so he said to Yu Si: "Don't worry about the tent, it's your first effort to keep the gunpowder and other items, understand."

Yu Si promised and ran back to the team. Soon the Huoqi Battalion began to move in the dark. It didn't take long for the Huoqi Battalion to turn around a small mound. Torches, the marching speed of this firearms battalion has also been greatly improved.

Just when Xue Yun breathed a sigh of relief, the river opposite the door set off fireworks towards the sky. Xue Yun looked at the fireworks blooming in space and knew that the Lang family had discovered his withdrawal camp, so he sent a signal to start action ahead of time. Xue Yun immediately He ordered the soldiers around him to sound the trumpet for retreat.

Then the trumpeters of the entire Datong Army blew the retreat number. After the Datong Army’s action, the torches of the entire army were lit, and the withdrawal speed of the Datong Army was greatly accelerated. Just kidding, there must be something wrong with the fireworks fired by the Lang’s Army on the opposite side. The guy who dawdled in the camp must have a sick brain.

Except for the Firearms Battalion and the Guards Army, all the soldiers of the Datong Army have one man and two horses. The grasslands are not restricted by roads, and the Datong Army retreats very quickly. Even the Guards Army can have one horse per person on average. Half-horse, walking is not a big problem, but the guards have changed from infantry to cavalry and are a little flustered.

However, the Datong Army is known as the strongest army in the Ming army. This is by no means a vain name. After the initial panic, it has gradually calmed down. The entire team retreated in an orderly manner, and basically no major panic was seen. up.

Xue Yun still led by example and walked at the back of the team. When the rear team of the Datong Army also left the camp five miles away, the frightened birds in the night flew from the southeast, and ran around in panic. Rabbits and voles began to appear on the ground. These small animals are running away, even the foxes also ran out several.

Xue Yun knew that the flood was coming soon, so he kept urging the soldiers to speed up their march. After walking about two miles, the sound of splashing water could already be heard in the distance.

Wang Erwa and Peng Langjun wanted to leave quickly with Xue Yun in their arms, Xue Yun sternly stopped the two of them, and asked Peng Langjun to accompany Jiang Xi to take a step ahead, and Wang Erwa and Wang Erwa walked in Datong with their own soldiers from beginning to end. the last of the army.

The flood that made Xue Yun and the Datong army fearful finally arrived. Fortunately, Xue Yun's last troops were at least one mile away from the center of the flood. After a while, Xue Yun rode the oolong horse for about half a mile, and the flood water covered the horse's leg joints.

When Xue Yun arrived, he heard the news from the Datong Army that the Firearms Battalion had moved to the high ground. Except that the teams of Mr. You Qian and Mr. Fang Qian were attacked by the flood, and the march had some impact, generally speaking, it was not a big deal. question.

Driven by Xue Yun, the last guard army escaped from the clutches of the flood. The rise of the flood has gradually weakened. Xue Yun led the guard army to a high ground and rested on the high ground. When he got up, Xue Yun couldn't help looking towards his camp, but he couldn't see anything in the pitch black.

Xue Yun was very sad, because his negligence almost ruined the Datong Army. He has been fighting with the wind for more than a year, basically ignoring the military rules of combat and marching, but Xue Yun's kindness to Lang's family The heart was also taken back, and in Xue Yun's heart, the Lang family and their subordinates had already been sentenced to death.

Xue Yun saw Hadan Zhaorige not far away from him, and immediately ordered his soldiers to call him over. Xue Yun said to Hadan Zhaorige: "Hadan Zhaorige, your performance today saved the Datong Army. If you have any requirements, tell them, what this general can do will definitely meet your requirements."

Hadan Zhaorige touched his head and said, "General, I don't have any requirements."

Xue Yun asked: "Hadan Zhaorige, you really don't have any demands."

Hadan Zhaorige blushed a little and said, "General, yes, but it's impossible."

Xue Yun was a little disappointed after hearing Hadan Zhaorige's words. He wanted to reward Hadan Zhaorige heavily for recovering the loss of the Datong Army, but Xue Yun had no choice but to do it himself. Hadan Zhaorige was rewarded.

So Xue Yun said: "Hadan Zhaorige, this general promised you a request that will always be valid. Now this general has decided to promote you to three ranks. Well, let's try a hundred households. In addition, you will be rewarded with 1000 taels of gold. You how do you feel."

Hadan Zhaorige was very happy when he heard this, kowtowed to Xue Yun and said: "General, the younger one is now considered promoted and rich."

After hearing this, Xue Yun didn't know what Hadan Zhaorige meant by saying this, so he replied honestly: "Hadan Zhaorige, you can be regarded as a powerful person in Daming now. The people of Ming Dynasty will walk around when they see you."
