The Wuliang tribe who was the first to retreat encountered more than a thousand gunmen who were surrounded by air transportation led by Aji. Behind them were two troops that had withdrawn, and in front were the gunmen. The Wuliang tribe had already suffered heavy losses.
, breathless for a moment, Wu Liang was ready to step forward to show his sincerity. Just as he lowered his head and clasped his fists, before he could say anything, there was a sound of a bow and arrow piercing the air. If the person next to him hadn't struck him with a sword, he might have died.
.
The deputy general next to him was so shocked that his mouth was numb. He didn't recover for a long time and his face was ugly. "Khan, they are serious. Ming will not let us go. Let's not bow to them anymore. It's better to hurry up."
Let’s go.”
When Wu Liang betrayed the friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty, many people opposed him, and Khan insisted on going his own way. Now they have no way to retreat.
Wu Liang held the big knife in his hand dully and glared deeply at Aji, who was leading the army. He had already seen the power of the gunman and would definitely not fight head-on, "Retreat!"
Looking at the Wuliangbu who were running away like mice, Aji sneered. The prince's order was to continue the pursuit. If you don't want this kind of fool, he will stab you twice in the back, you should teach him a lesson, "give me a hard time."
beat!"
The formation of the Wuliang tribe was completely disrupted, and they withstood a round of attacks. They had already sacrificed many Wuliang soldiers, and nearly a thousand were killed or injured. They used the most primitive method to escape, trying hard to escape the range of the fire cannons, and then stopped.
dead and wounded.
Aji clapped his hands with a proud smile on his face, and he admired the prince even more in his heart. The prince really knew what would happen. He had predicted that they would pass by here and was able to catch them off guard. He couldn't relax now. The next two
The battle started again.
Previously, the three armies united and killed many soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Aji whistled, "Brothers, don't let down your guard. Another big battle is coming next. It's time for us to show off. According to the previous deployment, we will ambush
At the highest point, take advantage of the favorable position and send out the kite men. Don’t be pity on the weapons in your hands and avenge our brothers!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of every soldier behind him were full of hatred. If the three tribes were not harassing them in the north, they would not stay away from their homeland, let alone go hand in hand when they came. When they left, they could only
Holding his brother's ashes.
The Tatars and Walas who retreated from the rear originally thought that they had escaped the attack of the Ming army. Fortunately, the enemy did not continue to catch up. Arutai breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty, which had exhausted its strength, actually still had the power to counterattack.
We underestimated it!"
Mahamu next to him was panting and patting his heart, "Isn't that right? After passing this pass, you and I will both..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound in the air, and the bow and arrow brought up a strong wind, and shot straight towards him. Mahamu quickly dodged, and used his crescent knife to fly away. Looking in the direction of the enemy's attack, he saw that they were densely packed.
They were all people, and they shouted, "Everyone is on alert immediately, the Ming army is still nearby!"
Are they going to start a massacre? Their morale is low and they have experienced a fierce battle. How much deployment does the Ming army have?
Along the way, they never saw each other. They only saw a large group of goshawks flying rapidly in the sky, but a large number of Ming troops appeared out of thin air. Arutai and Mahamu naturally thought that this was the Ming's strategy, and they became worried.
The meaning of fear.
Arutai held a bow and arrow in his hand and narrowed his eyes, but his hands were trembling slightly. The enemy's position was ambush at the highest point. He couldn't hit these cunning Mingren at all. He couldn't help cursing, "We all thought before
Mingren is a lamb to be slaughtered, but who would have thought that the other person is a wolf, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal!"
The dense attacks fell from the highest point, and they could only be slaughtered like fish on the chopping board. Arutai and Mahamu looked at each other, understood the meaning in each other's eyes, and retreated immediately!
Without the power to fight back, they could only watch the people around them fall one after another. The men who once galloped across the grassland could only swallow their anger and try their best to escape from the circle of fire.
Aji commanded the team, spat, and felt even more happy, "If the tigers don't show off their power, you think we are sick cats, why don't you retreat into your den quickly? If you dare to harass the border of Ming Dynasty again, you will not be allowed to
It's better to wait and see, when the Ming army will press the border, march straight to Huanglong, and take your heads!"
Intensive firepower, coupled with warning words, Arutai and Mahamu have never been wronged like this, but they can't figure out how this team of firecrackers ambushing here got around to the rear.
?Obviously they have sent out the vanguard army before and looked around the terrain. I really saw a ghost. Could it be that Ming people really have ghosts and gods to help them?
Suddenly, the black kite man above them looked like an eagle from a distance, but up close, it turned out to be a real human being. The design was so clever that the expressions of the two leaders changed.
Mahamu immediately got on his horse and said, "What are you doing standing still? Run away!"
It was really weird. There was a huge gap between them and Akito in this battle. It turned out that Akito was teasing them before, and the fear in his heart became more and more intense.
Arutai did not dare to stay any longer and quickly waved his hand, "Retreat!"
Although they retreated in time, both troops sacrificed many men and were seriously injured. It was obviously unrealistic to fight the Ming Dynasty again.
After escaping the enemy's fire circle, Mahamu and Arutai looked at each other, and saw fear in each other's eyes, but they were both prairie men and would not give up easily.
Arutai shook the reins and looked very unhappy, "It's all because of Wu Liang's stupidity when he ran away. If he hadn't been a deserter, we wouldn't have escaped in such a mess. We couldn't defeat the Ming Dynasty, but Wu Liang must teach him a lesson."
.”
Mahamu on the side knew that Arutai always kept his word, but he never used weapons against his own people. After all, they had cooperated, and the strength of the three groups had been weakened. If they started fighting again at this time, they would probably be even weaker.
Daming's intention was that now he just wanted to go back and adjust, reorganize his strength, and said with a fist in his arms, "Master, let's not leave here for now."
Mahamu led the embarrassed tribesmen behind him to leave this place and headed in the other direction of the grassland.
Arutai, who was left behind, couldn't swallow this breath, "Since you don't plan to care about it, I'm not the kind of person to swallow my anger!"
He had already left the circle of fire, and if he chased after him again, it wouldn't be worth it if the opponent came to kill him. According to the prince's order, Aji asked all his men to stop attacking. Looking at the back of the enemy as they left in embarrassment, he said, "Return immediately!"
I'm afraid the enemy won't come again for a while.
Just when Aji was about to lead his soldiers to turn around and leave, he suddenly glanced casually and saw a man crawling out of the cave on the opposite side. He was looking at them. The opponent's armor was all covered in blood, and he was dressed in the uniform of a local defender.
"Wait, you stay here and wait for me!"
Aji refused to be followed by his deputy and went alone. The people in the cave were very excited. When they got closer, they could hear him shouting, "I am Qi Mu, the son of Xuecheng County Magistrate. Please call on the warriors."
Take me back."
Aji quickened his pace and stopped in front of the cave entrance. He looked carefully and saw that the person he was wearing was exactly the same as the person in the portrait. The emperor had sent someone to rescue Qi Mu before, but the news that came back was that there was no trace. There were more than a hundred people in their group.
Died on a frozen lake.
Coupled with the emergency of the war, the matter was revealed. He didn't expect to see Qi Mu again. Aji quickly helped him up, only to find that both of his legs were broken and his shoulder was wounded by an arrow.
Qi Mu wiped away his tears, beat the ground and cried bitterly, "You are finally here. Have we won? Will there be another war? Are the people of Xuecheng safe?"
He asked a lot of questions, but his words were all concerned about Daming. Aji carried him on his back, his voice choked with sobs, "We won, you guys defended Xuecheng, I'll take you back first!"
The Ming Dynasty's army was stationed in Xuecheng. Aji, who came back to resume his duties, brought an unexpected person. Zhu Di, who was so tired, summoned him immediately!
Qi Mu lay on the stretcher and was carried in by the soldiers. He wanted to struggle to get up, but he could only move his head. "The common people pay homage to the emperor, the common people..."
"Don't say anything. How can I give you such a big gift after being so seriously injured?" Zhu Di felt sad. This is the only bloodline of the Xuecheng County magistrate. He knelt down and patted Qi Mu on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."
Father and son are guarding Xuecheng. I came too late, so you are the only one left in your family..."
The emperor was so kind. Qi Mu cried bitterly, lying on the stretcher like a child, "What are you talking about, the emperor? As a parent, my father has taught us since childhood that we must be courageous when facing the enemy and protect Xuecheng.
This is what our family should do."
Zhu Muchen had just come in when he heard these words, and was quite touched in his heart. This time he had made great contributions, but he did not ask for any reward. Instead, he bowed and stood with Qi Mu, "Your Majesty, the Qi family fought to the last man.
With this little bit of blood left, the people of Xuecheng are now even more grateful for the kindness of the old county magistrate, so why not let the emperor decide on the position of county magistrate of Xuecheng!"
The county magistrates were screened at all levels, and their ranks were very strict. Zhu Di hesitated a little, but he thought that the King of Chu had made great contributions. Now Xuecheng was far away from Nanjing, and it was obviously too late to transfer an official to guard it.
Sitting calmly in the upper position, Zhu Di spoke unhurriedly: "In the opinion of the King of Chu, what should the position of county magistrate be?"
Zhu Muchen was not polite at this time, "The people of Xuecheng believe in the old county magistrate. It would be better if Qi Mu can take over. Firstly, he has blood in him and has delayed the enemy's footsteps. His merits are worthy of commendation;
The second is that His Majesty is benevolent, and the official system is more humane; the third is to use Qi Mu as an example to promote patriotism and protect the people, so that officials can learn from him!"
Everything makes sense, Zhu Di nodded in agreement, "Then according to the wishes of the King of Chu, Qi Mu, after you have recovered your health, you will succeed the Xuecheng County Magistrate, but you must be as diligent as your father, and don't let me down.
