Chapter 114: A Knight's Walk (6)

On the 21st day of the first day of the leap month of the thirteenth year of Yongli, in the early morning, there was a mist on Mopan Mountain, but on the top of the mountain, you could still vaguely observe a Qing army's provocation horse running towards him quickly, and cleared the second fence that he could monitor as he had expected.

"Next, it's the third one, and then there will be a lookout to report, and the rest will continue to explore."

Li Dingguo looked at the trail at the foot of the mountain from afar, watching the Qing army's horses leave without any urgency. The Qing army was arrogant and would definitely follow these horses into the mountain, and would not move forward until the horses confirmed that there were no abnormalities along the way. Not to mention the side, the performance of the horses that just passed by was a good interpretation - they were just on guard when demolishing the fence, and had no intention of watching the hillside nearby. After the demolition, they immediately turned over and flexibly controlled the horses to gallop on the mountain trail.

Sure enough, when the time was not much different from what he expected, a Qing army explorer turned back. It was estimated that in another hour, the Qing army's vanguard should enter the attack range. And what was waiting there was the most brave general under his command now. The Tai'an Hou Dou Mingwang, who had once defeated Sun Kewang's thirty base in a row, led his command of the Dading camp adapted from the imperial city defense force when Zhang Xianzhong was alive, and Yang Wubo Liao Yu's Wuying camp, with a total of 4,000 iron armor!

Now, the two battalions of men have been ambushed on the hillsides on both sides of the undulating mountain road, waiting for the Qing army to enter the jail before they can make a cannon.

The reason why the strongest camp was placed in a row was to block the retreat of the Eight Banners Army led by Doni personally. Because of the previous horse exploration, the Qing army always used Wu Sangui to lead the vassal soldiers and the Green Camp as the pioneers, and Zhao Butai and Doni led a Eight Banners Army in turn as the stamina. This is very consistent with the tradition of letting the Han people act as cannon fodder in Manchu. For the Ming army, only by annihilation or crippling the Eight Banners Army can we truly have the possibility of turning the situation around.

Li Dingguo was still waiting patiently, which was what he had the most lacking now. However, at this moment, Yu Youhan was like an ant on a hot pan, because he was still clueless until now.

The ambush that Chen Kai insisted on in the tip of the bag has now happened. Although the words behind it are more suspicious and speculative, he clearly remembers how serious it was when Chen Kai handed the tip of the bag to him.

"The headmaster must have known or guessed something inconvenient to say, so he sent me over. That must be the case!"

Thinking of this, Yu Youhan's pace was getting faster. The army had already set out, and it should have been ambushed since yesterday. With Li Dingguo personally taking charge, there should be little chance of a problem. At this moment, there was only one guard in the Olivepo Camp, plus the staff, documents and auxiliary soldiers who accompanied the army. What he could do was naturally turn around and see where there might be problems.

This time, it didn't take long, because the army was all out, and there were only some people left in the central army camp of Li Dingguo and the camp where the baggage was stored, while the rest of the camp only had a few guards.

Yu Youhan first ran to the camp where the baggage was stored, and he saw Jin Weixin standing there from afar. However, the staff, clerks, and especially the auxiliary soldiers seemed to be a little nervous, probably still worried about the ambush. This is human nature, and there is no problem. So he went straight to the Central Army camp. There, Gong Ming, another highly trusted aide in Li Dingguo, was busy sorting out his copywriting, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"It seems there is nothing wrong." As soon as this idea appeared, Yu Youhan shook his head suddenly, trying to shake it out of his brain: "There must be something I didn't notice, otherwise the head leader wouldn't be so formal at that time."

Sitting on the ground, Yu Youhan hugged his head and recalled the scenes of these days, trying to connect them again.

"The Marquis of Pingyang is going to protect the emperor, the Marquis of Tai'an, the Marquis of Huairen, the Marquis of Xianning, the Marquis of Qishan... They all followed His Highness the King of Jin to go to war. The Minister of Jin was in the baggage camp, and the Minister of Gong was in the central army's tent. Yes, what I just saw, the Minister of Jin, the Minister of Gong, was wrong!" After a three-foot high, Yu Youhan suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a missing person: "Where has the young minister of Guanglu Temple Lu Guisheng gone to the past two days?" Li

"Oh, Lord Lu, I somehow annoyed Your Highness the day before yesterday, and was dragged down and beaten with twenty military sticks."

With the familiarity that he had found out over the past month, Yu Youhan quickly found the general guards who were on duty today. He was still Hu Shundu who left the Yongchang Camp, and the latter pulled him aside, and whispered to explain what he saw the day before yesterday. As for why Lu Guisheng was beaten by the military, the guards in charge of the execution did not explain. The generals and civil servants of the Xun Town who were also discussing politics in the lobby were also secretive, so he didn't know. More importantly, Lu Guisheng was Li Dingguo's close aide after all. Even if he was wrong, who would know whether he would get the trust of His Highness King Jin who already respected scholars very much. So who dared to talk too much and make the whole army know it?

"However, Lord Lu just took a car out of the camp and said that there was an emergency military situation and he would report it to His Highness immediately."

"What did you say!"

Hu Shundu's heavy breathing almost made Yu Youhan swear, but in a hurry, he subconsciously grabbed Hu Shundu's arm, and his force was so fierce that he almost jumped up with the muscle-knitted general.

"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?"

"Sorry, sorry, Hu Shuai please say what he just said." Li

Next, Hu Shun repeated the words without knowing it. He did not know that he had heard it wrong just now. Yu Youhan slapped his thighs and shouted "It's broken". He ran directly to the stable regardless of his curiosity. After a while, he saw Yu Youhan carrying a Miao knife on his back, and a green-maned horse under his crotch completely ignored the ban on the Central Army's camp's inability to run, and regardless of the obstruction of the guards guarding the gate, he rushed out of the camp and ran away in the direction of the Longchuan River Iron Cable Bridge.

“What’s going on?”

Just six short words revealed Hu Shundu's confused look, and it also exploded in the mind of Tai'an Hou Dou Mingwang, who was far away on a hillside farther away than Mopan Mountain.

He was the chief general of Yihu, and his mission was to block the Qing army's retreat. He knew very well about the reason why Li Dingguo arranged him in Yihu. This was a heavy burden, but it was also full of the trust of His Highness King Jin. In this regard, he was full of the desire to die and vowed to block the Eight Banners Army in this mountain road so that they could not return it.

The Qing army's exploration arrived as scheduled, which made his already a little tired body suddenly become energetic. However, within less than an hour, the Qing army vanguard arrived early. However, the Qing army vanguard who appeared in his sight was not Wu Sangui's vassal soldiers or Green Camp soldiers, which made it difficult for him to understand the abnormality of the Qing army for a while.

"The Gushan E of the Zhenghong Banner Mongolia should be called Jixiha... The Sharibu of the Inlaid White Banner Mongolia seems to have fought with His Highness the King of Shu... The Sun Tower of the Inlaid Blue Banner Mongolia, it seems that he had this number when the Tartars entered Sichuan and fought with the boss..."

The more he looked, the tighter Dou Mingwang's brows frowned. In terms of military information, as the Qing army invaded Guizhou last year, as the information was continuously sent back to Yunnan, he was already familiar with it, but he could not understand why the Qing army was so contrary to common sense.

However, with the continuous influx of the Qing army, he seemed to have seen some tricks - the Qing army marched very quickly on this mountain path, to be precise, very urgent, and fast because of the urgent. The Qing army of the Eight Mongolian Banners was a cavalry of the whole family, even the Qing army of the Manchuria that followed closely behind. Obviously, the Qing army planned to quickly cross Gaoligong Mountain and then pursue the army and marching with cavalry. However, why the Qing army was so anxious still made him unable to understand.

"No hurry, I'll know sooner or later."

He naturally knew the importance of this, and the most important thing was to fight first and win, otherwise even if he figured it out, it would be useless.

The pioneer of the Qing army was Zhao Butai, not Wu Sangui, which was indeed a military situation worth reporting to Li Dingguo. However, he did not order the messenger - to set up an ambush and not reveal any flaws. Now the entire army is ambushing on the hillside, motionless. He does not want to risk the ambush plan failure by moving the messenger.

The risk was something that Dou Mingwang, who was east of Mopan Mountain, was unwilling to take, and it was also something that Lu Guisheng, who was far away from the western pass of Gaoligong Mountain, was unwilling to take on.

Leaving his head but not his hair, leaving his hair but not his head. This is the system that the Qing Dynasty implemented. Even if it was a disaster, it was not abolished. He did not want to be shot and killed on the spot while he surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't that be too unfair?

After being ruthless in the direction of Mopan Mountain, Lu Guisheng turned his head quickly and looked at his servant leader in a flash. The guy was indeed listening to him. He raised his waist knife over his head before he could enter the range of the Qing army's bow and arrow, and then threw it on the ground with great fanfare. He got off the horse, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times.

When he got up again, the head of the family let the horses eat the grass on the ground, raised his hands but still did not dare to walk too fast. However, not long after, he had just entered the Qing army's arrow, and two of the Eight Banners troops pointed their bows and arrows at him, which scared him so much that his butt was sitting on the ground, and his crotch was immediately soaked from the inside out.

"Grandpa, please spare me. The villain came to surrender at the order of the head of the family. There is no malice!"

He cried and begged for mercy, but soon he found something was wrong. In the ten Eight Banners army, only the two bow holders were still staring at him. Except for three or four who were always on guard, the rest had already set their sights behind him, to be precise, where he came. When he turned around, he saw a fast horse headed straight from the direction of the Longchuan River Iron Cable Bridge.

"The head of the family, someone is chasing him."

Upon hearing this, Lu Guisheng poked his head out and saw a man in a strong suit riding a green mane horse riding a horse. He didn't see clearly, but the Miao knife was too conspicuous. After just a glance, he immediately figured out why Chen Kai sent such a man without an official position to come, and he also asked Li Dingguo for the power to operate freely in the army. Collect, the guy who was far away in Guangdong had already expected this day in the morning!

"Quick! Stop him."

Many servants got on their horses and rushed towards the visitor. However, between just three moves and two moves, the ten servants fell to the ground without exception. Some were still struggling in pain, while others simply disappeared. What's even more exaggerated is that the visitor did not pull out the iconic Miao knife behind him, but simply solved his servants easily with a lancet knife on his waist.

This scene directly shocked Lu Guisheng so that his eyes almost broke out. You know, he was also a staff member of famous generals like Li Dingguo. Although these trusted servants have not passed the battle formation, they have practiced martial arts and have suffered a lot of hard work on weekdays. However, in front of the people who came, more than ten people were not the enemy of the same unit, which really made them unable to believe everything they had just seen.

Eliminating the obstacles, the visitor continued to ride his horse. Seeing this, he hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive to the mountain pass. But how could the carriage run past the good horse? Only a moment later, the visitor chased after him. The sword flashed by, and the horse fell down, and the carriage pierced.

The carriage was driven by inertia, and at least three living people were still pressing the warehouse, and the wheels were just slightly raised and hit the ground.

But the horse had completely fallen to the ground and the carriage lost its balance. The coachman, Shutong and Lu Guisheng rolled out of the carriage and fell into a dilemma. He raised his head again, but saw that the visitor had already rolled down and was pressing step by step. The will to survive made Lu Guisheng not care about the pain, and threw the coachman down, pulling the Shutong up and fled in the direction of the mountain pass. However, the visitor ignored the coachman at all and rushed straight to him and chased him.

How could a civil servant who was injured on his butt be able to run past a martial arts master? But the more he showed that he was calm in danger. The man who saw that he was about to chase him, he pushed Shutong over with his backhand, and then ran away, shouting for help while running.

Unfortunately, Shutong only delayed the visitor for a moment. Then, the visitor followed him with two steps in three steps, and kicked Lu Guisheng on his butt, and kicked Lu Guisheng to eat shit. His two front teeth were directly knocked into his throat by a small stone on the ground. I don’t know whether it was entering the esophagus or the trachea, but it made him scream.

"Traitor!" Li

Looking at the treacherous whine in front of him, Yu Youhan finally understood Chen Kai's intention. But at this moment, the Eight Banners Army Cavalry Team at the other side of the mountain pass had already figured out what was going on. The soil splashed wherever the iron hooves stepped on, and rushed straight towards him.

Time is not enough for him to pull the treacherous person back to the Qingma. Even if he is already running towards the Olive Slope Camp at this moment, he will never be able to escape the Eight Banners elite who are rapidly magnifying in his sight. However, he must leave the life of this confidant aide of the Jin Palace in order to give Li Dingguo an explanation for him and Chen Kai behind him.

Seeing this, Yu Youhan twisted his right hand and lifted the lancet backwards. Immediately, he pressed his left hand on the hilt of the knife, and with force on both sides, the lancet inserted straight down. The lancet inserted into Lu Guisheng's thigh without any obstacles, and then inserted into the soil under him, leaving only a small part in front of the hilt still exposed in the air.

The blood did not ejaculate much, which shows that the knife did not hurt the arteries and veins outside the capillaries. However, the huge pain instantly penetrated Lu Guisheng's tolerance limit. After a scream, he fainted.

The Eight Banners Army's horse exploration team was getting closer and closer. Yu Youhan took a silent look, untied the lancet scabbard at his waist, and threw it on the ground. Then, he turned around, and the Miao knife behind him was already in his hand, uncovering the old knife-wrapped cloth, gently stroked the spotless blade like stroking his lover's body. Then he held the handle in his right hand and held the left hand on the uncut blade in the second half of the Miao knife. The center of gravity pressed down sideways with the blade, and the last distracting thoughts in his chest also poured out with his breath.

"Come on, Dog Tartar, Yu Youhan, the successor of the Qi family's sword, is here!"
