Daming: I help my wife be the empress

It was the group of soldiers on duty last night who immediately went to light the smoke after hearing the movement.

However, watching the wolf smoke disappear into the wind and sand in the sky, all the soldiers of the Ming army in Maomu Toudun showed signs of worry.

Chief Qiu Huwei said: "With such a big wind and sand, I'm afraid the pier in the back may not be able to see the wolf smoke."

Wan Dagui was a little puzzled and said: "Boss, haven't the cavalry been repelled by us?"

Qiu Huwei said: "These are not ordinary captive cavalry, but elite Qing cavalry. It must be a big picture to choose this kind of windy and sandy weather to attack our border fort.

If I am not mistaken, there is likely to be a large group of Oirat cavalry behind.Now that autumn is high and the grass is yellow, it is the time when they like to invade the grass valley, and the Oara people may want to invade from Zhenyi. "

After hearing Qiu Huwei's words, Zhang Erquan, Wan Dagui, and Liu Mao all looked surprised.

A small group of captive cavalry invaded Biandun, and Wala's large-scale invasion of Caogu was two different things.If the former, they still have a chance to carry it over, or retreat.But if it is the latter, it may be difficult for them to survive.

For one thing, they are retreating now, and there are not enough horses, so it is difficult for all of them to retreat.Second, there are many captives, and it is difficult for them to hold on with their hairy heads.

Qiu Huwei frowned and looked at the wind and sand in the northwest, thought for a while, then turned around and said to Zhang Erquan: "Erquan, you are most familiar with this area, and you are also good at equestrian skills.

Now you ride on the horse in the pier and hurry to the pier behind to report the news, but you don't have to enter the pier and go directly to Ishigaki Fort. "

Zhang Erquan was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help blushing and said, "How can this be done? Don't leave!"

Although he and the other soldiers in Shone have only been comrades for half a year, they have already formed a deep friendship.Knowing that there will be a large group of captives coming to attack in a short while, but fleeing at this time, Zhang Erquan couldn't do it.

"This is a military order!" Qiu Huwei said very seriously, "We only have one war horse, and it is a windy and sandy day, if someone else goes out, even if they are not intercepted by the cavalry, they may get lost in the wind and sand.

Only you are the most likely to send the news of Wala's invasion to Ishigaki Castle!
Zhang Erquan, now that you are receiving sufficient military pay, you have to take on the responsibilities of a soldier.Do you want to see the Oirats cross the border wall and plunder the people of Gansu? ! "

Hearing this, Zhang Erquan gritted his teeth, cupped his fists and said, "Zhang Erquan has orders!"

After he finished speaking, Lou Huaiying, who had been watching over Liu Jin, sighed, "Xiao Liu didn't make it through, he died."

Speaking of which, the few people present, even the youngest Wan Dagui, had seen many dead people in the past few years in the army. There were enemies, civilians, and comrades. They are very sad.

Obviously, these big soldiers are getting better and better, and Da Ming is getting better and better, but Liu Jin has not had a good life for a few days, and he has not seen the prosperity of Da Ming after he got better, so he just disappeared...

Zhang Erquan looked away from Liu Jin, took a deep breath, and ran down without looking back.

He put on a suit of knight equipment, pulled out the only horse in the pier, and took Qiu Huwei's order flag, and ran south into the wind and sand.

On the way, he encountered two groups of captive cavalry, but relying on his familiarity with the terrain and the cover of the wind and sand, he escaped and even shot and killed two captive cavalry.

Arriving at the next Xiaobiandun where five people were stationed, Zhang Erquan found vigilantly that this place had already been captured by the Wala people!

This undoubtedly proves that Qiu Huwei's speculation is correct, and the Oirats are very likely to invade the invaders.

Over the years, Oala has become stronger and stronger. In the past two years, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Tatars entering the customs with the Qing captives and being maimed, they have invaded many pastures of the Tatars, and their power has further expanded.

Now it is reasonable to take advantage of the autumn and grass to enter Daming.

Later, Zhang Erquan passed another pier and saw that it had not fallen, so he was relieved and informed the news of Oala's entry into the bandits.Immediately, regardless of how the other party reacted, he continued to run to the rear.

Mao Mutoudun was only thirty or forty miles away from the barbarian camp at the side wall, and he could even run back to the barbarian house on horseback.

Of course, as a garrison sent outside the side wall, he could only return to Ishigaki Fort, and then follow the arrangements of the Ishigaki Fort post chief.

When they arrived at Shiyuan Fort, which was nearly [-] miles away from Maomutoudun, Zhang Erquan told the post chief Wu Mingwei about the possible aggressive invasion by Lingqi and the Wala people.

After listening, Wu Mingwei did not immediately believe Qiu Huwei's judgment, but said: "You were intercepted and killed by captive cavalry when you came, were the other piers attacked by captive cavalry?"

"I was intercepted and killed by two squads of cavalry, but I escaped through the wind and sand..." Zhang Erquan immediately explained what happened to him along the way.

"I see." Wu Mingwei nodded, then waved his hand, "Go down and rest, after I verify this matter, I will send someone to pass the news to the Zhenyi Station."

After hearing this, Zhang Erquan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Chief post, the Wala people are really going to invade the bandits!"

If it was in the past, Zhang Erquan, who had been a soldier for ten years, would never have talked to the generals above him like this.

But now he is worried that his comrades will die in vain, and that the invasion of Oirats will make the people of Gansu suffer.

Wu Mingwei glared at Zhang Erquan and said, "Do you think I don't know the urgency of the matter? But the military is not a child's play. If you are not sure about the information, you report it to the up and down, and the ups and downs are shaken. In the end, there is an oolong, and we can't get rid of it!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Mingwei stopped talking to Zhang Erquan and shouted for orders.

"Zhang Erquan, you don't have to worry, Chief Wu knows it well." But one person came to comfort Zhang Erquan, but it was Zhao Gang, the military and political officer in the sentry.

Zhang Erquan breathed out, and said again: "Zhao Junzheng, I want to exchange a horse from the fort and go back to Maomu Toudun. I can't leave Shichang and the others there, and escape by myself."

In fact, Zhang Erquan originally wanted Wu Mingwei to send troops to rescue, but after thinking about it, he knew it was inappropriate—since it was speculated that the Oirats were invading aggressively, and Maomu Toudun might be under siege by the army, it would be free to send as many people as possible to Ishigaki Fort.

After all, there are only 100 people stationed in Ishigaki Castle at ordinary times, which is less than half a post.

In addition, Ishigaki Castle cannot retreat without an order.So the most important thing Wu Mingwei should do now is to quickly withdraw the soldiers from other piers and concentrate his forces to prepare for the defense of Ishigaki Fort.

Ishigaki Fort was built on a pile of rocks. It is said that it was originally the ruins of a certain city in the Han or Tang Dynasties. Therefore, many parts of the entire fort are built of stones, which is more than the rammed earth fortress of Maomu Toudun. But much stronger.

The terrain is also condescending, with one side facing the river. It is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The hope of blocking the attack of the cavalry is not small by relying on Ishigaki Fort.

Although Zhang Erquan is a pawn, he probably understands these principles, so he just wants to go back to Maotoudun alone.

After Zhao Gang heard this, he frowned and advised, "Erquan, I can understand your desire to save your comrades. But the problem is, if you go back now, you might just encounter a large group of captives, and you won't be able to get in Maotoudun at all.

In this way, what use is there for you to go back other than to die in vain?If you die too, all of you will be gone. "

Zhao Gang's words made Zhang Erquan no longer insist on going back, but when he thought that his comrades were fighting bloody battles with the Oirats, and they were dying one by one, he felt very painful.

Seeing Zhao Gang, he patted Zhang Erquan on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much, maybe the Wala people will give up the attack because they see that Maomu's head is difficult to chew.

To put it another ugly word, even if they really all died in battle, we will definitely avenge them in the future.

What you should do now is to go down and take a good rest to recharge your spirits.Because next, we are Ishigaki Castle, which is very likely to be besieged by the Oirat army. "

Thinking that the Wala army would probably besiege Shiyuan Fort, Zhang Erquan finally managed to divert his attention, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Zhao Junzheng, if the Wala people come, they will definitely be good, and they will definitely kill a dozen of them, and do it for them with their own hands." revenge!"

First more.
