Dong Hu was caught off guard by the bad news, and his mind went blank.
He tried to collect his mind.
Suddenly, another sharp sound suddenly filled my ears.
He looked blankly at the panicked faces on the left and right.
His eldest son, Bazahei, seemed to be speaking impatiently to the visitor to confirm something. His face was anxious and his mouth kept opening and closing.
The followers on the left and right seemed to have lost their backbone and looked around in fear like headless flies.
The tribesmen further away didn't know what was being said orally, but they could only see someone reining in the reins, ready to move.
The night sky was falling, people were talking and horses were neighing, and there was chaos.
Zheng!
The sound of a sword being drawn out of its sheath suddenly sounded.
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously.
Under the moonlit night, a cold light shone in everyone's eyes.
What followed was hot blood, splattering on the ground, horse, body, and face.
Just hearing a click, the head slowly fell to the ground, and the headless body gushed out, then fell to the ground.
The noise was at its loudest just now, and it stopped abruptly in the blink of an eye.
at the same time.
All eyes were uniformly focused on Dong Fox.
The ringing in Dong Fox's ears has not disappeared, but it does not affect his fierce expression at all: "I am still alive, who dares to mourn for me!"
The group was speechless, leaving only the sound of the horses crowing.
"What do you call it! If your son is gone, you will be born again! If your treasure is gone, if your woman is gone, then you can rob it! We have thousands of good men, there is nothing we can't rob!"
"If you cry for me again and mess up the situation, don't blame me for stabbing you one by one."
The people on the left and right were originally panic-stricken, but now they saw that the leader still had the courage to kill people, but they cheered up and began to imitate the restraint of the horses and scolded the tribesmen.
At this time, Bazahei, the legitimate son of Dong Fox, had just finished confirming the details.
He rode up to Dong Hu and said directly: "Abu, we must beg Qingbadu'er for protection!"
Outsiders took pictures of Dong Hu's lustful power and dared not express the anxiety in his heart. These words were perfectly suitable for Bazahei, his own son.
Starting from him, everyone also took advantage of the situation and expressed their opinions one after another.
"Enxiang, Chang'ang and Wu Lusihan have betrayed Changshengtian, we can't go back."
"Eun Xiang, let's leave quickly. This must be revenge from the Han people! When daybreak, I'm afraid the Han people inside the Great Wall will also chase us out."
Dong Fox put away the blood-stained knife.
He gritted his teeth and rubbed his ears: "Bah! Qingbadu'er is also a son of a bitch."
After hearing this, the tribesmen wanted to say something, but they were afraid of being slashed with a knife, so they had to purse their lips and remain silent.
Dong Hu bared his teeth for a while before he felt the tinnitus subsided.
He cheered up and spoke again, rejecting the suggestion just now: "We have been patrolling this section of Jizhou for so long, and we haven't seen any movement of Han people leaving the fortress."
"Now that the Han people have suddenly reached behind our ditch, which other way can they take?"
When everyone heard this, they were all horrified.
Bazahei said in astonishment: "Abu is saying that Qingbadu'er betrayed us? What good will this do to them!?"
Dong Hu snorted coldly: "Wuliangha is one of the 60,000 households in Mongolia after all. Over the years, he has been swayed from side to side. Instead, he was eaten up by Anda Khan and the Great Khan, and only 60,000 tribesmen were left."
"In recent years, I decided to join the Great Khan, and Anda Khan showed his fangs like a wild dog and forced Qingbadu'er to marry his daughter to Chang'ang in an attempt to contain us."
"Benefits? His Anda Khan is now not only our Khan, but also the King of Shunyi of the Han people. If our pastoral area is captured by the Han people, will the Han people still be able to take care of themselves?"
In times of crisis, if the leader can remain calm, the whole team will inevitably be infected.
After getting over the initial panic, they began to think about their options.
"Your Excellency, Qingba'er is not a human being. Let's follow Subahai and go north. We'll stay away for a while and come back after the Han people leave."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by Dong Hu.
He shook his head sternly: "Hurry up, that bastard Hai Hai. As long as he finds out our details, he will definitely seize our horses and leave only us in the rear. Is it possible that you still want that bastard?"
Will the goods move in and out with us?"
"Besides, there is no dangerous terrain on the way north. Once someone is following you behind a ditch, you can't go very far if you send firearms cavalry to chase you."
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the situation is not good.
The geography of heading north is well understood by those present.
The Duoyan Sanwei themselves were driven here from the north by thousands of Chahar families.
Taining and Fuyu's two guards were completely eaten up by the Mongolian left wing precisely because they had no dangerous terrain.
Only Duoyan Guard, relying on the terrain of Yanshan Mountain, still retains its headquarters under Dong Hu.
So if you really want to flee north, you may not end well if you are caught up by the Han people.
Bazahei became more and more anxious and urged: "Abu, come up with an idea quickly!"
Dong Hu thought for a long time and was speechless for a long time.
After a while.
Dong Hu finally had an idea: "Let's go! First follow that bastard Su Bahai and get out of the sight of the Han people while it's still dark."
"Waiting for daybreak, I abandoned my tents and supplies and rode quickly!"
The two men hurriedly stopped Dong Hu, who was about to leave, and said carefully: "We need to explain how to leave, so that we can clearly explain the way out to our tribal brothers."
Dong Hu gritted his teeth: "Go find Gong Nan!"
After saying that, he turned around, greeted his subordinates and headed straight towards the direction where the commander should have left.
…
After dawn.
Twenty-three miles away from Xifengkou, Qi Jiguang looked at the materials abandoned on the ground and thought to himself that it was a pity.
If we could have gotten the news earlier, yesterday when we quickly evacuated Hai, Heishantan, Bima Taiji, and Laxi Taiji, we would have blocked Dong Hu's troops under the Great Wall. Things would have been simple - the Tatars withdrew.
But there is no discipline, let alone several movies together.
Of course, there was nothing that could be done about it. Hu Shouren could not stop a Tatar and not let him go, nor could he get the news before Dong Fox, who was outside the Great Wall.
"Qi Shuai, you are walking in this direction."
Of course, the old team of exploration traces are indispensable.
After all, there were thousands of cavalry, and they quickly figured out where they were going - so much so that at this time, the front army's three thousand light cavalry had already caught up with them, while the middle army and the rear army were only half a step behind.
Qi Jiguang looked in the direction where Dong Hu was escaping and thought quietly.
Zhang Gong, the deputy commander of Ji Town, frowned: "You didn't go north. Are you going back to Wansonggou? Do you want to decide the outcome with General Hu before we go up?"
Facing the Ming Dynasty's border troops, the Tatars' biggest advantage was that they came and went like the wind.
Not to mention that the border troops usually guard the pass, even if they are cavalry, they cannot match the marching speed of the Tatars.
If Dong Hu wanted to retake his lair and defend it against the dangers of Yanshan Mountain, he might not have a chance.
After all, there is always a time difference between the two.
Qi Jiguang shook his head: "Wansonggou is a dangerous place that is easy to defend for Dong Hu, and it is also a dangerous place for General Hu to defend."
"General Hu was able to seize it quickly, firstly because Dong Hu brought out the elite of the headquarters, and secondly because Chang'ang and Uluru Sihan cooperated."
"Now Dong Hu wants to take it back quickly, but it's impossible to do it quickly."
"At that time, if we are unable to attack for a long time, we will be flanked from both sides."
The stockade of Duoyanwei's headquarters is in Wansonggou. The saying that it is inaccessible because of the dense pine trees just shows how dangerous it is.
There is Hulu Mountain Valley in the southeast of the ditch. The valley has two mouths, which are narrow only more than 20 feet, and the middle one is wider and shaped like a gourd. The nearest mouth is called Huangya Valley, and the southeast mouth leads to Gubeikou.
There are ravines, mountains, cliffs and valleys. It can be said to be a natural danger that no one can attack with force.
Therefore, if Dong Huxu turns back, he is just seeking death.
Zhang Gong, deputy commander of Jizhen, thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
He speculated: "Qi Shuai! I'm afraid this guy is going to find trouble!"
"Dong Hu's brothers, Meng Ke, Meng Guji, and Mo Kechi, are all trying to annex the capital for Qing. There is nothing they can do to help."
"The only thing that can help him now is probably the only one who can help him!"
Yingke had three sons, Changang and Mangjier.
The third son was in trouble because Yingke forcibly took out the child born to his aunt (mother's sister) Bohu, and separated the family with his mother early.
It was just a matter of dividing the family. He always relied on the purity of his bloodline obtained from the intercourse of his relatives, and repeatedly colluded with Dong Hu, persuading Dong Hu to kill Chang Ang and let him annex the family.
This person will definitely take in Dong Hu and keep him safe.
"Anyway, we can't escape from these houses. They are difficult to escape, bald, and Chaha Lai. They are all the bandits that we want to destroy this time."
Qi Jiguang nodded upon hearing this and was not too worried about who Dong Hu would seek refuge with.
The division of pastoral areas in Duoyanwei has long been decided. Except for the main headquarters, Wansonggou, there is no dangerous place that can feed thousands of people - otherwise, except for the main headquarters, the rest would not have been swallowed up by the left and right wings of Mongolia.
Qi Jiguang got on his horse and gave an order: "Send flags to all the ministries and catch up quickly! The rear army will bring the baggage and follow closely!"
"Hurry up and catch up with the thieves!"
Tens of thousands of horsemen on the grassland obeyed orders and were silent. Under the sky, they could see bears, flags, and birds, all lined up neatly. After a long sound of horns and horns, they walked as if they were arms.
…
One day later.
Qi Jiguang finally caught up with Dong Hu.
It is a pity that the Tatars are riding like the wind, and Dong Fox has entered the difficult pastoral area.
The two worked together to strengthen the wall and clear the country, and camped at the foot of the mountain overnight in an attempt to resist the king's army.
Qi Jiguang stopped his horse and looked at the hill on the other side with his telescope: "What is the name of this mountain?"
Immediately, someone who was familiar with geography spoke up: "Qi Shuai, this mountain is called Hongshan because of its red color. Its south slope is a cliff, which is difficult to climb; the north side is a steep slope, which is the only way to enter the village.
The road is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
Zhang Gong, the deputy commander of Ji Town, quickly asked for orders: "Commander Qi, this place is much easier to fight than Wansonggou. Although it is a steep slope, it has a clear view and no dangers. It can be broken in a single charge."
"The Gongnan tribe has only 9,000 young men and 500 cavalry. Now Dong Hu and Liu can attack in the blink of an eye, and they will be divided into 8,000 men. We will defeat the enemy for Commander Qi within today!"
Qi Jiguang shook his head and handed the telescope to Zhang Gong.
Orders to the left and right: "Set up camp on the spot for supplies! Get the rear army's baggage and assemble firearms and cannons!"
Zhang Gong looked surprised when he heard this.
He picked up the telescope and looked towards Red Mountain.
I saw thousands of camels, cattle, and sheep lying on the ground with their feet tied on the hillside to the north, with stacks of boxes and sundries placed on their backs. There seemed to be a layer of wet felt or other fireproof things on top, arranged in a circle,
The entire hillside was tightly wrapped, forming a thick line of defense.
When he looked around, he could still see that the bandits were reinforcing the defense line.
In front of the hillside is a deep natural chasm, paved with wooden planks only, so that the enemy can retreat at any time, and at the same time, they can also charge with light cavalry from a high position.
Behind the hillside is a dense forest, which serves as a support for the bandit army.
As the saying goes, "Search for deep chasms in mountains and forests, and set up camp in danger", this is nothing better than this.
Zhang Gong put down the telescope and sighed secretly.
As he said, this is much better than the natural barrier at the mouth of Wansonggou, which is only more than 20 feet narrow.
But looking at this arrangement, it cannot be broken at once. Without a tough battle, I am afraid that this camel city cannot be broken.
Thinking of this, Zhang Gong also turned around and arranged his troops.
at the same time.
Dong Hu was behind the hillside and saw a military formation with dark clouds approaching from far away, and his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly called out to Gong Nan: "I see that the dust behind the Han bandits' formation looks like a chariot. Please order them down quickly and be prepared to lay down antlers, horses, and iron traps to prevent him from conflict."
Gong Nan was momentarily panicked.
After a while, he calmed down and told the left and right about the matter.
He looked solemnly at the Han bandits encamped at the foot of the mountain, and held Dong Fox's arm tightly: "Uncle, you said you only have to stay for three to five days. If the three to five days come, the Khan will not come to my aid.
So what?"
Dong Hushu broke free from his pull and said sincerely: "Gong can't believe me. If the Han thieves could kill us unscrupulously, why would they wait until now? As early as when Anda Khan surrendered, he had wiped out us. No.
Are you just afraid of sweating profusely?"
"Now that the Great Khan wants to use me to unite all the households in Ulliangha and serve him, why would he just sit back and watch me?"
After hearing this, Gong Nan finally felt relieved.
However, with lingering fear, he still snorted coldly: "Uncle believed my words and killed Chang'ang. Why did he lose his hometown and Baba came to seek refuge with me."
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Dong Hu's eyes.
At any rate, he pressed it, smiled reluctantly, and said comfortingly: "When the Han thieves retreat, I will bring you to see the Khan. We uncles and nephews will be united for the time being. After the ten thousand households in Ulliangha are reorganized, we will hand them over to Gongnan."
.”
Gong Nan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing that Dong Hu had calmed down the problem, he gave many instructions, including clearing the surrounding trees to prevent fires. For the same reason, wet felts should be soaked in water on time to prevent them. From time to time, Qingqi could be sent to rush into the camp to disrupt the position of the Han thieves.
So much.
After many explanations, Dong Hu finally felt a surge of fatigue.
He twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "How is your aunt lately?"
Gong Nan could see Dong Hu's head sweating, and he knew that while his uncle was stressed out, his physical energy was also very high and he had to take a rest.
He nodded: "Now that Bohu has become my wife, I don't need to call you aunt. You can just call me by name. I will ask someone to take you to see her."
After saying that, he ordered his uncle to take him to the stronghold to rest for a while.
After Dong Fox left.
Gong Nan was left alone, looking solemnly at the Nanren at the foot of the hillside.
…
At noon, Gong Nan led two thousand horsemen, rushed down the slope, and attacked the camp where the Ming army had not yet settled down.
The Han army was temporarily unprepared and had no choice but to abandon the stronghold and retreat.
Gong Nan was overjoyed and broke into the Chinese army camp.
As soon as they penetrated deeply, there were bows, crossbows and blunderbuss, and stones were coming like a sudden rain. Wherever the arrows and stones fell, people and horses fell over.
The arrows from the god's arm bow were eight feet long and shot across the ground. When they encountered the Tatars, five, six, seven or eight of them actually passed through them.
It was difficult for the arch to see the light, so he immediately led his troops to flee in panic.
The bodies of more than seventy men and horses were left behind.
Affected by the harassment of Gongnan, the progress of the Ming army's camp was naturally slowed down.
It was not until the evening that Qi Jiguang gained a firm foothold and launched the first round of testing.
A volley of rockets fired like rain of arrows.
Unfortunately, half of the leaves were missing, and only three or five cattle, sheep, and camels that were not tied tightly were disturbed.
Seeing that the fire attack was ineffective, the Ming army tried to attack in formation.
Unfortunately, it is no lie that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
As soon as the formation went up the slope here, there were huge rocks rolling down the slope. It was difficult to even maintain the formation, let alone advance steadily.
Two attempts to achieve quick results failed, and it seemed that we had no choice but to take it slow and steady.
The Ming army formed a formation in the front to cover the rear army and dig trenches.
The trenches were only there to limit light cavalry charges - the cavalry of the Ming army was weaker than the Tatars, but the infantry was completely the opposite.
By digging trenches layer by layer, the cavalry on both sides can be eliminated and the soldiers can be covered to charge into the formation.
However, although this move is stable, it is inevitably slow.
In addition, Tatar sword riders stabbed Xiali from time to time and rushed down from the slope, destroying the fortifications and delaying the pace of the Ming army.
After pulling like this, in one day, it was only pushed up by one-tenth.
The two sides faced off against each other on the mountain, and it was difficult to determine the outcome.
"It's been a false alarm for half a day. If you keep it like this, it won't be a problem for you to keep it for a month, not to mention three to five days." Gong Nan breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time raised his head and chest towards Bazahei, "Look.
This Ming man is so incompetent. Grandpa, I personally led the cavalry to kill him today. Although I suffered some losses, my morale did not drop."
"Look at those generals in Ming Dynasty. They just hide in a crowd and shout."
Although many people on our side died today, it will not hurt our muscles and bones after all. If we keep grinding, they will have the upper hand.
This is outside the Great Wall, and it is impossible for Ming people to show off their power here all the time.
How much food did you bring?
Can I go back after staying for a long time?
When will the Great Khan's reinforcements arrive?
After being unable to attack Chang'ang for a long time, can we still suppress the headquarters?
Even Andahan and Qingbadu'er cannot always allow these Ming people to wreak havoc in the pastoral areas - if more people die and the weather gets hot, let alone the pastoral areas, aren't they afraid that the disease will enter the water system?
Bazahei knew that Gong Nan was also mocking himself, so he did not rush down with him.
He didn't expect that he would be ridiculed even if he took a break while running around for a day and night. He was exhausted.
Bazahei got angry: "It's hard to watch from here, I'll charge forward with my cavalry!"
The words just fell.
Down the hillside, a drum beat sounded.
The two of them knew that this was another Han bandit attack, and immediately calmed down their expressions.
"Raise the flag!" A faint voice sounded in the night sky.
At the foot of the hillside, a tooth flag was erected.
Immediately afterwards, a charging flag waved.
Gong Nan quickly stood up and told his men to cheer up and be careful.
Dong Fox came late, with a solemn look on his face, with a hint of astonishment: "How dare the Ming Dynasty dare to attack with an army at night!?"
Night is the hardest to maintain the array.
The attacker always suffers more than the defender.
Qi Jiguang couldn't help but understand this truth in person.
And then the next moment.
A faint voice came.
"fire!"
Dong Hu realized this later, his face changed wildly, and he suddenly grabbed Gong Nan and Ba Zahei and fell to the ground.
He yelled at the top of his lungs: "It's Frankie's cannon! The ditch is used to cover the cannon!"
It sounded together with the sound.
There was also a sound of thunder!
"boom!"
"boom!"
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded.
Bright and flamboyant, it will be damaged if touched.
The corpses were shattered and blood rained.
The cattle and sheep wailed, and the cannons were fired.
A cannonball exploded not far from Dong Fox.
Debris flew everywhere, and soil fell on Dong Fox's shoulders and back.
He felt like the world was spinning, and a sharp explosion sounded in his ears again.
Dong Hu gritted his teeth and shouted at Gongnan: "Quick! Gather the light cavalry! Charge again! Destroy the trench and the French cannon!"
Having said that, he was about to stand up.
Suddenly, the whistling sounded again.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Dong Hu didn't care much, braved the gunfire and the sharp ringing in his ears, and shouted loudly: "Come! Come! Raise the flag and follow me!"
at the same time.
At the foot of the mountain, Qi Jiguang looked expressionless and gave orders to the left and right again: "Fire three more rounds from the artillery! Then the whole army will press forward!"
Give an order.
Another roar sounded.
The fire burned through the entire hillside, and the smoke was like a burning cloud.
In the firelight, there were Tatars who had finally gathered and were about to charge down.
Outside the firelight, there are the Qi family troops who are fighting each other, trying to decide the outcome in one fell swoop.
The fire burns more and more intensely.
As a horn sounded from the top of the hill, the sound of drums followed closely behind.
The sounds of mourning echoed each other, and both sides rode out in full force, spreading up and down the hillside like the shadows of tentacles, and like two torrents, threatening to merge.
finally.
The two torrents collided violently.
It was actually the Qi family's army that dug into the condescending cavalry!
Accompanied by the usual fierce charge, Zhu Jue on the left wing screamed: "Make a great contribution! This is the moment!"
Wang Rulong, who was on the right wing, raised his armor and sprinted: "If I don't defeat Dong Hu today, I will kill myself!"
The two people shouted in front, and soon they merged with the shouts of the soldiers behind them. The sound shook the sky!
Zhu Jue was the most brave in the Qi family's army, and he had the record of killing eight Japanese pirates alone without losing his breath.
At this time, he rushed forward with all his strength, and no one could resist him.
He held a blunderbuss in one hand and a spear in the other. He cut off the head with one blow, then struck with the broken blade. In the blink of an eye, he had five thieves with swords in succession. He was unparalleled in bravery.
In the 42nd year of Jiajing, Wang Rulong first said, "If the Japanese pirates are not defeated, they will kill themselves." In the second year of Wanli, there will be, "If the Japanese pirates are not defeated, I will kill myself." They have always taken the lead and boosted morale.
At this time, he served as the vanguard officer as a battalion general, with a gun in his hand, and his momentum was unparalleled.
The gun is raised and the horse is raised, the body of the gun is up and down, like dancing pear blossoms, rushing left and right, as if entering an uninhabited land
Seeing this situation, Dong Fox made a decisive decision, but regardless of everything, he shouted with all his strength: "Han thief, my father Dong Fox is here! Dare to come and meet me!"
As soon as he shouted, he followed immediately.
Bazahei took the lead and met Zhu Jue.
Gong Nan shouted: "Kill! Kill quickly! Drive down the Han thieves!"
The chopping sound of flesh and blood being severed.
Heart-rending shouts of death.
The neighing of the war horses was accompanied by the wails of the cattle and sheep tied to the ground.
The battle between gold and gold.
The body fell to the ground.
Bazahei looked at the Changge in Zhu Jue's hand in horror, his teeth chattering, and he fell from his horse to the ground.
Astonishingly, he was killed by Zhu Jue in one blow!
Seeing the death of his legitimate son, Dong Hu couldn't help but feel jealous and his blood surged up.
His blood was raging, and he struck out with all his strength, slashing straight at Wang Rulong!
Wang Rulong saw that the sword was fast and fierce, so he did not dare to show his violence, so he had to block it with his spear.
The moment he was blocked, infinite strength was transmitted to Wang Rulong, his arms went numb, and the spear almost came out of his hands.
He gritted his teeth, swung his horse to the side, and finally relieved the force and regained his composure.
However, before he could take a breath, a group of men and horses from Gongnan came out of the stab, clashed with each other, and slashed at Wang Rulong!
This knife was vicious and vicious, and it was in a blind corner of the field of vision. It was extremely critical for a while!
Fortunately at this time.
One long line, Ge is like a flying fairy from the sky.
It was a sudden attack!
With a roar, Chang Ge plunged straight into Gong Nan's chest, knocking him flying ten feet away!
As if possessed by Guan Gong, Zhu Jue rode up to him, leaned over and reached out his hand, and pulled out the long spear from Gong Nan's chest.
The speed of the horses did not slow down at all, and they were dripping with Chang Ge's blood.
Zhu Jue rushed towards Dong Fox: "Old thief! Compete with me in martial arts!"
Dong Hu saw how brave he was and how he killed his nephew in a blink of an eye without being able to fight back, and he couldn't help but turn pale in horror.
Zhu Jue's face was like that of a demon, and he was very ferocious. He taught Dong Hu that he was disobedient and would hit his horse and run away.
All this, lightning and flint.
In one breath, the two armies met, and the victory or defeat was immediately apparent!
The Tatars around were stunned. After coming to their senses, they hurriedly followed Dong Fox and fled in embarrassment!
When Dong Hu saw his followers following him, he had no time to think too much.
I had no choice but to make a last-ditch effort and shout loudly to organize the defeated troops: "Follow me! Break out! Break out!"
I haven't said a single word yet.
Dong Hu felt numb all over.
The whole person lost all strength.
He lowered his head in shock, only to see a hole in his chest, and then he realized that blood was gurgling from it.
He remembered that seven years ago, when he and his brother Yingke plundered the Ming Dynasty, his brother also had such a hole in his stomach...
Is this...a blunderbuss?
Time? Fate?
He wanted to reach out and cover it.
But his whole body suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Dong Fox is dead! Surrender first but not kill!"
"Dong Fox is dead! Surrender first but not kill!"
Dong Huxu reluctantly stood up and looked at the Ming army general who was shouting loudly.
Isn't it a competition of martial arts... Why don't we talk about martial ethics...
A large flag embroidered with the word "Qi" was reflected in the firelight and appeared in front of Dong Fox.
He looked at the commander sitting under the flag, scanning his back continuously, and finally lost consciousness completely.
Seeing that the victory was determined, Qi Jiguang finally had time to review the battlefield.
He tapped his chin towards Dong Fox's corpse: "Cut off the head and pickle it. I will present it to Your Majesty."
Chapter completed!
