But he said that Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu arrived at the military camp, picked up their troops and horses, and rushed out of the city, crossing the river and rushing towards the Qing army. Of course it was a bluff, but it was useful. The Qing army that was marching in the distance saw this scene and immediately ordered a stop.
The army marched in strict formation and sent small groups of soldiers and horses to go and find out.
"Rush over and kill them, and stab them before they are prepared." Lao Jiu kept muttering next to Jia Waixiong. Chang Yu had repeatedly warned him not to act recklessly when disturbing the enemy.
But these two guys are the kind of guys who are reckless as soon as they get started. They always want to rush over and fight if their bluffing is not enough. Jia Waixiong also thinks about it, really thinks about it, but then he thinks of the little eunuch's advice, and he is confused: "
Let's forget it. There are only about two thousand Tatars. We don't have heavy armor and if we get entangled with them, we won't be able to escape. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid of ruining the factory supervisor's plan."
Lao Jiu sighed and said nothing. He looked at a few bright spots not far away that should be the Qing army's scouting horses. He rushed over after hitting the horses. Jia Wai Xiong followed behind and shouted: "Don't get too close."
It is said that the vanguard of the Qing army was only twenty or thirty miles behind Jia Waixiong, so why did it arrive half a day later? This was also guessed by Chang Yu.
Kangkal's uncle and nephew were teased by Chang Yu and scolded by Dorgon. After that, he became furious and vowed to kill all the Ming troops. So he chased after him. However, he chased with all his strength, but the one in front was trying his best to escape. They were always locked in a stalemate.
Ten miles away, after crossing the Yellow River, Kangkal knew that any further pursuit would be futile. Instead, the soldiers and horses were so exhausted that they would not be able to fight back if they were ambushed, so he ordered to move slowly. He took his time and finally saw him in the middle of the night.
The lights of Qingzhou City are up.
The scouting horses in front have discovered that there is a river in the north of Qingzhou City, which is actually the moat of Qingzhou City. Kangkal decided to camp by the river to rest and wait until daybreak to intimidate the garrison in the city to surrender.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the military order was given, I saw a fire dragon rushing out of Qingzhou City. Seeing that it was coming to kill me, I couldn't help but panic. It was so dark. There must be an ambush by the Ming army. Otherwise, why would they be so bold to go out of the city and start fighting?
He quickly ordered the detective horses to look around, but nothing unusual was found. He felt a little relieved. The fire in the distance had crossed the river, and it whirred in the southwest direction but did not come near.
What kind of tricks are they playing again? Remembering that they were tricked by the Ming army on the banks of the Tuhai River, Kangkal's uncle and nephew were a little confused again. If they had seen through it during the day, hundreds of people would have been killed directly, but at this time, it was pitch dark at night.
There was a bright spot of fire between them, and no one knew how many people and horses there were in the darkness, so how dare they move around.
However, the opponent was shouting randomly from the opposite side, sometimes going east and sometimes north. Kang Kale had to adjust his formation at any time to deal with it. This made He Tuo a little angry several times, so he had to lead a group of troops to fight and test the depth. Kang Kale
Kale was worried that he would be involved in danger, but he also asked his men to lead more than 300 horses to test the water.
The men could not walk more than a hundred meters when they heard the sound of killing. Kangkal's uncle and nephew were shocked. The other party actually started fighting directly and seemed to have a lot of troops. He regretted that he should not have approached late at night. When he was about to withdraw his troops, the front came to report: Mingming
The army ran away!
What the hell, he's running away! Kang Kele was confused for the first time, and He Tuo shouted, chase!
"No! In case there is a scam!" Kang Kale quickly stopped his eldest nephew, and then patiently analyzed: Think about it, as soon as we arrived at the end of the field, the other party rushed over with a huff, but he only whirred next to him.
Let's kill them, and there are only 300 people, and he ran away with a roar. Do you think it's that simple? If there is no deceit, they are sick. Who can show this to others?
He Tuo was convinced, and secretly sighed that Jiang was still too old, so he asked his old uncle: "How can we fix it?"
"Stand back a few miles and set up camp, send more exploration horses out, and wait until daybreak." Kang Kale gave the order with a wave of his hand, but he didn't know that at this time, at the mouth of the mountain where the Beiyang River entered the mountain a few miles to the southwest, his Qing Dynasty leader
The rival eunuch was crossing the river quietly.
The Beiyang River entered the mountain mouth with a deep flow. Chang Yu and the others went ashore and were soaked to the skin, but they didn't care anymore. They got on their horses and galloped westward along the hillside.
"Isn't it exciting?" Chang Yu asked with a smile, looking at Zhu Cian who looked like a drowned rat next to him. Zhu Cian, who was originally turning blue, grinned when he heard the sound: "It was so exciting, Cian's heart almost jumped out of his chest just now."
Hahaha, Chang Yu laughed. This kind of thing is child's play for him. He has played the more dangerous Cross Fire several times. It's hard for Zhu Cian, the prince of the vassal, not to be frightened and faint. You must know that the Qing army at that time
Just a few miles away, if he were to find out the clues, the consequences would be disastrous. Although he could not be said to be dead, a bloody battle would be inevitable. At that time, no one could care about who would die if he made a mistake.
Unexpectedly, before the laughter could reach the ground, Kuang Ren, who was running at the front, suddenly shouted: "There is an enemy situation, prepare for war." However, he saw more than a dozen fires at the foot of the mountain hundreds of meters ahead.
"Horse thieves!" Li Shiyuan hurriedly came to Chang Yu and raised his hand to point to the hilltop next to him: "This is Mingzu Mountain to the west of Yaowang Mountain. There is a group of horse thieves entrenched here between the two mountains. They are most likely to rob at night...
…”
Chang Yu sneered and glanced at Li Shiyuan: "It would be really ironic if the dignified Qingzhou garrison was killed by horse thieves." Li Shiyuan heard the reproachful meaning in the little eunuch's words: "I am humbled by my duty and failed to suppress the bandits, so I asked the factory supervisor to punish me."
"Punishment, punishment is of no use at this time. If you prove your identity, you will not be spared if you don't give way." Chang Yu angrily yelled. These days, thieves who join the government do not separate their families. These horse thieves are entrenched not far outside the city. If they say that they are not clearly identified with the officers and soldiers,
How is it possible that there is a secret relationship? Li Qingshan is the leader of the Qingzhou Prefecture military and those horse thieves naturally know his name.
If it was daytime or there was no emergency, Chang Yu would definitely kill the thieves, but now that the military situation was urgent, he had no time to deal with these horse thieves, so he asked Li Qingshan to reveal his identity and send the horse thieves away.
By the way, these horse thieves were almost scared to death at this time. They were hiding in the mountains as self-sufficient half-farmers and half-thieves. They rarely heard about things outside the mountains, but today they always felt that something was wrong. The lookout post on the top of the mountain reported that there were people coming and going unknown to Hula outside.
What to do.
The leader of the horse thieves was curious, so he sent someone out to find out who was coming. The people fled into the mountains. The leader was happy and surprised. After all, the Han people still had conscience in their hearts. When did the Tatars enter the border again? The people of the Ming Dynasty would not suffer.
, the good news is that once these people enter the mountains, they will have the goods delivered to their doorsteps.
Unexpectedly, after waiting all afternoon, no goods came to the door. It turned out that the surrounding people knew that there were horse thieves entrenched in these two mountains and never came back. Most of them entered the mountains from the west of Qingzhou City. This made the horse thieves leader very angry, so he gathered his men and prepared to go out to rob the mountain.
, but because it was not dark and the Tatars did not come, if he went out at this time, he would not provoke the officers and soldiers in the city to come out to get him, so he waited until dark before coming out.
Unexpectedly, he walked around the surrounding area without encountering Mao. It turned out that as soon as the sky darkened, the people who were seeking refuge were entering the mountains and entering the city. He missed it. He was so annoyed that he had to go back to the mountain empty-handed, but at this moment he saw it.
They watched the fire of the vanguard of the Qing army in the north for a while at the mountain pass. Suddenly, more than a hundred cavalry appeared out of the darkness and rushed towards them. They were so frightened that they almost peed!
"Damn it, you are taking advantage of it. Brother, you have crossed the line. This is the territory of our Erwang Village." The leader of the horse thieves, Guitou, slashed his sword across the area and the group of people more than ten meters away from Chongzhen shouted.
"Your territory?" Li Shiyuan snorted coldly: "The entire Qingzhou Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of this general, you are nothing."
Uh! The horse thieves were in a panic. Officers and soldiers?
"The Tatars have entered the country and the people have left their homes and you are still taking advantage of the chaos to loot, but you still have humanity!" Li Shiyuan shouted angrily: "If I hadn't been on official business and couldn't suppress you, get out of here!"
"But General Li Shiyuan and Li." That horse thief's brain is also very fast. Li Shiyuan is the only one in Qingzhou Prefecture who can call himself a general, and he is the only one who can look upright in the face of the horse thief.
"Get out of here if you know it!" Li Shiyuan scolded angrily.
"Thank you." The leader of the horse thief clasped his fists, turned around and shouted for everyone to leave. It seems that Li Shiyuan is really famous and has a wide reputation in Qingzhou, or maybe the horse thief saw that the other party has a lot of people, and since the officers and soldiers want to let him go
Well, why should I fight and lose both sides? It's meaningless.
"His Royal Highness, look at how majestic Li Shoubei is." Li Shiyuan negotiated with the horse thieves in the front, and the young eunuch joked from behind: "If the prince comes forward, will those horse thieves be more face-saving?"
Zhu Cian's face was filled with excitement. Chang Yu couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw that he was ready to make a move. He coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, it's better not to think about good things. If the other party knows your identity, they might immediately fight with each other."
Why, the silly and sweet Zhu Cian was puzzled. Could it be that his reputation as the heir apparent of Prince Heng's Mansion was not worth Li Shiyuan's small defense?
"If it were normal, I would have laughed it off, but at this moment, I would have to rob the crown prince into the mountain to knock King Heng off for a sum of money." Chang Yu said with a smile. Zhu Ci'an was startled: "He is not afraid of his father's wrath and sending troops into the mountain to destroy him."
Big baby, Chang Yu sighed inwardly. At this time, Li Shiyuan had finished negotiating and rode over: "The factory governor's horse thieves have retreated... When this battle is over, I will humbly go into the mountain to suppress this group of horse thieves."
Chang Yu smiled: "Go into the mountain to suppress the bandits? It's easy to say but difficult to do. You know better than the governor, otherwise, why would you let the bandits sleep soundly beside the bed?" He glanced at Zhu Cian again: "The bandits caused chaos and the emperor was so angry that he sent orders to the world.
The soldiers and horses suppressed the bandits, but now... bandits are everywhere." After saying that, he walked away, leaving Zhu Cian with a face of shame, and Li Shiyuan even looked up to the sky and sighed.
