Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 12 Windfall
Several lieutenants saw that Huang Hai was dead, and Zhao Yi even killed the adopted son of Zeng Jianjun, so Huang Hai has a strong backer?Huang Hai has been chopped off, it's useless if he refuses to accept it, he can't be a ghost under the knife.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Yi said three good words in a row, looked at the lieutenants and said, "We are all brothers, I hope everyone can regret it and work together, and we will work together to kill the Tartars in the future."

Everyone bowed together and said: "It's all up to the adults." These lieutenants are now intimidated by Zhao Yi's tough attitude!
Suddenly, a soldier ran in panting while holding his hat, and told Zhao Yi in the tent, "Tell Mr. Zhao, there is a foreign man outside the camp who wants to see you."

When Zhao Yi heard about the Fanbang man, he immediately thought that it might be the Moon Man, and hurriedly said, "Tell him to come in."

After a while, a Fanbang man covered in blood staggered into the big tent. Before Zhao Yi could react, the Fanbang man knelt on the ground and shouted: "Save people, save people!"

Zhao Yi's complexion darkened, and Zhao Yi hurriedly helped the man up, only to see that the Fanbang man had collapsed, his lips were chapped, his face was pale, and his clothes were covered in dust and blood.

Zhao Yi asked the soldiers to take the kettle, and was about to pour some water for the foreign man, but he pushed the kettle away and said in a hoarse voice, "My lord, please help my lady, our caravan was captured by hundreds of people. The soldier was trapped in Wuji Ridge, and I was the only one who broke through the siege to report, my lord, hurry to rescue..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes darkened and he passed out. When he looked carefully, he saw a bloodstain on his back. The bumps bled a lot, so it's no wonder he didn't pass out.

After asking several lieutenants, Wuji Ridge is only more than 60 miles away from Tumubao. The terrain is rugged, and it is convenient to hide your body.

Time was running out and there was no time to think about it. Zhao Yi ordered the wounded to be taken to the military doctor for treatment, and then he said solemnly to the deputy general in the tent: "Fanbang caravans are related to our military pay, and the Tartars came to our land to rob again. This caravan has no interest with us, and we can't let the Tartars be so arrogant in our territory, what do you think we should do?"

Several deputy generals were also furious after hearing these words. This is a major matter related to military pay, and their eyes were bloodshot and they roared angrily: "Kill, kill all these dog tartars."

Several lieutenants shouted very imposingly, and there was a little sharpness in their eyes. Zhao Yi glanced around, didn't say anything, and waved his hand: "Organize the cavalry and set off from Wujiling."

Thousands of cavalry roared out. After these few days of training, the horses were all slick, their fur was shiny, and their bodies seemed to contain endless power. It took less than half an hour to reach Wuji Ridge after the tens of miles of journey.

I saw a round camel formation on the road of Wuji Ridge. Hundreds of camels were lying peacefully. They seemed not to care about the corpses lying outside the formation before them. The formation was also completely silent, except that some people looked up quietly from time to time. .

The moon is very depressed now. I thought that only horse thieves on the border were more dangerous. How could I know that even the soldiers of the Manchu Qing were so barbaric. They had already said to go to Liaodong to do business. Surrounded by crowds, if it weren't for the camel team to block them, and the sniping with bows and arrows, people like themselves might have been thrown into the wilderness long ago.

I have sent people to Tumubao to report the news just now, and it stands to reason that the rescuers should come by now, but why there is still no movement, could it be that the people I sent out were chased and killed by the Qing soldiers?That is the best horse in the caravan, and the one chosen to report the news is also the best guard in the caravan. If you are still hunted down like this, your end will not be far away. You must know that this group of Man Qing Soldiers are no better than horse thieves. Horse thieves may let themselves go if they take some money, but Manchu soldiers made it clear that they wanted to swallow their entire team of goods and money.

Just now the Manchu soldiers attacked again, they were shot to death by their own side, and then withdrew out of the range of the bow and arrow. Seeing that posture, they wanted to take advantage of the night to attack again, but did the Manchu soldiers have any patience? , riding horses one by one, drew out their sabers and killed them again.

The moon trembled and shouted: "Quick, let the arrow go."

But there are only a few hard bows in the caravan, which can withstand hundreds of Manchu Qing soldiers. At first, a few Qing soldiers were shot to death, but now hundreds of Qing soldiers came together, and their hands holding the bows trembled. Come on, let alone hit the target, the strength to draw the bow is gone.

This time it's really over, Yue Yue was shocked into a cold sweat, this time it's over, I knew why I had to tell my dad, how comfortable it is to be honest at home.

Just when the moon's heart was ashamed, he heard a crisp sound of horseshoes. The moon looked into the distance, and the familiar face was not Zhao Yi.But at first glance, there were only a dozen rescuers.

More than a dozen people are anxious to face hundreds of Manchu soldiers, this account can be calculated by a fool, and there is no doubt that they will lose.

The Manchu Tartars were startled at first, but they all burst into laughter in a blink of an eye. It turned out that there were only a dozen of them. Although they all looked very strong, a dozen of them couldn't make much trouble.

Under the command of Niu Lu, hundreds of Tartars turned their horses around and decided to deal with the caravan first.

This group of Manchu Tartars swung their sabers vigorously and screamed strangely, but they looked very majestic. Zhao Yi reined in the horse's reins, then turned his horse's head and left, followed by several others. Desperately fled.

Seeing that the opponent fled in fright without even fighting, the Manchu Tartars became even more excited. They were worried that the person who fled just now would invite powerful reinforcements, but they didn't expect it to be a few soft-hearted Han people.

The Tartars didn't intend to let these Han people off, and they could go back and ask for rewards after cutting off the heads of the Han people. They waved their sabers and chased them, just because they were so excited that they didn't notice that although the opponent fled, the formation was not in the slightest. chaos.

The dozen or so Han people in front fled towards a slope, but the Tartars still didn't notice anything wrong, and urged their horses to chase after them, but when they were about to reach the top of the slope, they suddenly found that there was nothing wrong with them. Waiting for them behind the slope was a group of Ming Dynasty cavalry with staring eyes, as many as a thousand people.

The strong bows of thousands of people have already been drawn, and the sharp arrows are shining with the light of death. At this moment, the Ming army is looking at him with cold eyes, and only hears the sound of "letting" the arrows that have been aimed before flying through the air. It was so dark that the centurion of the Tartar front team fell in a pool of blood.

The rest of the Tartars hurriedly turned their horses and fled. After a round of arrows, the Daming cavalry drew out the saber hanging from his waist, and urged the horse to chase after him. Just now, he was just a character who was running and chasing, but he changed his target in an instant. The person who was chasing just now became the one being chased, and the Tartars were frightened, desperately urging their horses to flee.

In almost an instant, hundreds of Tartars were killed and only a few dozen remained. The two groups of men and horses charged closer and closer. The cavalrymen of Ming Dynasty put on spears, and the spears aimed at the necks of the horses of the Tartar cavalrymen. , People can escape, but the stables are not so good. Faced with the spear attack, the Tartars also turned over and fell off the horses. Some were supported by the horses and ran wildly, some fell heavily to the ground, and some The injured horse was crushed under him and could not move.

After one impact, the rest of the Tartars were wiped out, and only a few soldiers on Zhao Yi's side were slightly injured.

Seeing that Zhao Yi led people to defeat all the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Yue Yue ran out of the camel formation, her voice was crying: "Zhao Yi, you are here." After speaking, she threw herself into Zhao Yi's arms

This bold move of the moon made Zhao Yi very embarrassed. Seeing that all his subordinates looked at him wanting to laugh but did not dare to laugh, Zhao Yi quickly said: "Okay, I'm here, you are safe. Check to see if any of you are injured, I will deal with these tartars first."

After a while, the cleaning work on the battlefield was still going on in an orderly manner. Some Tartars who were not dead were gently mended a few times by well-meaning Daming soldiers, and then their heads were cut off. The child's body was just thrown away at will, which made it easier for the nearby birds and animals.

This battle wiped out more than 300 Tartars and injured more than 20 people, but no one died. This battle can be said to be a complete victory. Thanks to Zhao Yi's proper command, the soldiers all looked at Zhao Yi with admiration.

A soldier who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield ran over with something like a letter, and presented it to Zhao Yi with both hands: "My lord, you see this was found on the Tazi Niulu. You think it is useful."

Zhao Yi took a look, and it turned out that this was a letter about the military situation of the Tartars. It turned out that this group of Tartar cavalry were just scouting cavalry, and they were sent to reconnaissance. Because they saw the caravan, they became greedy and delayed their return. The letter reads: Let Niu Lu of this group of cavalry lead the team to the Tumu Fort to inquire. The Tartar army has assembled in Liaodong, and is going to raid the Tumu Fort to take back Lord Duoduo.

Zhao Yi saw the contents of the letter and broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't decided to rescue the caravan, how could he have seen this important military situation? Arrived.

Thinking of this, I didn't bother to explain to Yue Yue, and asked Yue Yue to assemble a caravan and leave this place quickly under the protection of cavalry. He had to rush back to the Tumu Fortress to write a memorial and report it to the court, and he had to be prepared to defend against the Tartars attacking the city. what.
