Who could escape with an iron gun at his throat? Yang Xiaohu stabbed the gun. He thought that blood would be splashed for seven steps, but he didn't expect that he would proudly kick his feet to the ground and jump out while holding the ground.
This shot only hit Ao Dun's abdomen. Ao Dun was wearing fine iron armor, and his abdomen was protected by a waistband. This shot only hit Aoden's waist, and only caused a spark on his armor.
Yang Xiaohu wanted to attack again, but the Yuan soldiers and cavalry were already nearby. Just as the Yuan army was charging, the Ming army also moved.
Yang Xiaohu and Ao Dun were sandwiched between the two armies, and the two armies collided in an instant. Two thousand Ming troops faced off against five thousand Yuan troops, and the sky was dark, the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dimming.
Yang Xiaohu stabbed a Yuan soldier with his spear and seized the horse. When he climbed over the saddle and mounted his horse, Ao Dun was nowhere to be seen in the huge sea of people. Yang Xiaohu felt anxious, but he shouted loudly: "We can't call the Yuan army to defend the foot of the mountain.
Go over." There was helpless chaos, but Yang Xiaohu's voice was not far away.
The Yuan army and the Ming army totaled 7,000 people. They were all strangled in one place without any formation at this moment. Looking at the fields, there were people everywhere. Both sides could only tell the enemy from friends by their clothes. Two thousand Ming army faced 5,000 Yuan soldiers.
In an instant, he fell into a bitter struggle.
Da Kui led more than 2,000 cavalry and arrived within a stone's throw of the melee. Yang Xiaohu, who had originally agreed to delay, waited until the reinforcements charged on one or two sides and fired arrows. By then, he would have killed a large number of the Yuan army in an instant. How could he have expected that?
At this moment, the two sides are fighting in a melee and no matter how much they want to shoot arrows, they can't.
Looking at the vast sea of people, Da Kui could only gnash his teeth with hatred. During the rapid march, he shouted an order: "Encircle each other on both sides and fight, kill!" With the general's order, more than 2,000 Ming army cavalry were divided into two, like two sharp arrows.
Entering the melee crowd from left to right,
Dakui's iron spear was like a spiritual snake spitting out a message. As the spear glowed, Yuan soldiers blocking the road fell one after another. The Ming army led by Dakui followed closely behind, forming a triangular formation and rushing deep into the melee crowd.
It goes without saying that this iron cavalry is the elite of the conquest army. As long as the team goes to fight, the soldiers of the Ming army in the melee will withdraw from the battle group and join the team. As a result, the number of the Ming army gradually increases, which is very important to the Yuan Dynasty.
The lethality of the army has also greatly increased.
The so-called wall fell and everyone pushed it down. The Yuan soldiers were fighting in a melee at the moment, but the Ming army fought with everyone's strength. Less than an hour after the battle between the two sides, the Yuan army was already defeated. They wanted to enter the mountain and the Ming army stayed at the foot of the mountain, but they had no choice.
Then they began to flee in all directions, which accelerated their defeat.
The wind was blowing hard and the snow was falling, but no matter how strong the wind and snow were, it could not cover the corpses and blood all over the ground for a while. The grass was desolate and miserable. The war finally came to an end. The Ming army suffered nearly a thousand casualties and five thousand Yuan troops escaped.
Only three to five hundred people survived, and more than four thousand people were wiped out. Unfortunately, Ao Dun escaped.
Yang Xiaohu secretly resented that Ao Dun had escaped with his life by taking advantage of the chaos during the fighting between the two armies.
While cleaning the battlefield, the Ming army was all rescuing the wounded and rescuing those who were still alive. Dakui couldn't help but frown a little when he saw such a bloody scene. To be honest, Dakui couldn't bear it. Even if he was a mortal enemy on the battlefield, there was no grudge at this moment.
It's time to end it. But the soldiers of the Ming army will not be lenient, because if the Ming army is defeated, the Yuan soldiers will treat the wounded soldiers of the Ming army in the same way.
A large cart was also seized on the battlefield, which contained more than ten large wooden boxes. Da Kuiming opened the box, and for a moment the jewels dazzled everyone's eyes. Da Kuiming sealed it as it was, and tried to save as many wounded soldiers as possible on the battlefield.
He was treated and sent back to Pingliang Town along with the treasure.
Yang Xiaohu came to Dakui, with his head lowered and a look of grievance on his face. Dakui did not speak, but glared at Yang Xiaohu fiercely, and then walked towards his mount. The whole army took a moment to prepare, and Dakui immediately ordered: General Ao, the leader of the Yuan army
Dun was on the run, and a group of 500 men from the Ming army split up to pursue him. Anyone who captured Ao Dun alive would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and could also be exempted from military service and go home to farm.
The Ming army is in a state of rage. What does it mean to be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and get rid of military service? It means that from now on, you can have your wife and children on the kang, and you no longer have to suffer the pain of war. As an army of the Ming Dynasty, you should serve on the battlefield. Today, you don’t know whether you will live or die tomorrow, so let’s
Many soldiers of the Ming Army have long been numb in their hearts. They have long forgotten the joy of pastoral life and the love of flesh and blood. Now that they have the opportunity to go home, how can any of the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Ming Army be unhappy?
There is joy and sorrow, but as long as there is hope, no one will refuse this pursuit mission. More than 3,000 Ming troops rushed to join the ranks of chasing Yuan Bing, but Dakui only divided four teams to be responsible for the search.
Each team has 500 people, a total of 2,000 people. The remaining 1,000 people return to Pingliang to guard.
Dakui had his own plan in mind. If Ao Dun was determined to be a traitor and his desire to enter the mountains was shattered, besides running away in embarrassment, there was only one place he could go, and that was Pingliang Town.
At this moment, only Kang Maocai was stationed in Pingliang Town with 200 Ming troops and 300 wounded soldiers. Once Ao Dun led the remaining soldiers to fight back to Pingliang Town, the Ming army in Pingliang Town would face annihilation.
Dakui did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately led a thousand Ming troops to rush back to Pingliang Town. After a big battle, the Ming army was exhausted, but they did not dare to slack off for a moment on the road. It only took two hours to return.
Arrive at Pingliang Town.
Fortunately, Pingliang Town was safe and sound. Naturally, the Ming army was overjoyed with its victory. The people, who had been oppressed for a long time, could finally feel proud. Da Kui ordered people to invite Ouyang Xiuwen from Jishi Hall for a medical visit. Now Ouyang Xiuwen was busy enough.
The Ming army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, and thousands of soldiers were injured. Ouyang Xiuwen's medicine shop did not have enough medicinal materials, so he had no choice but to find people to go into the mountains to collect medicines. While Da Kui made plans to calm the people, he rectified the army and horses. During this period, he sent out
He quickly rushed to Lanzhou to report to Marshal Xu Da.
In a few days, the Ming army searched a ten-mile radius of Pingliang. Except for a few defeated Yuan soldiers, they could not find even Ao Dun. In desperation, Dakui had no choice but to shrink his troops and station them in Pingliang Town.
Half a month later, a reply came from Lanzhou. The Jingqi battalion under Dakui stayed in Pingliang Town and established the Pingliang Guard Station in Pingliang Town. (In the early Ming Dynasty, every time the Ming army regained a place, they would build a guard station here. 1
The guard has five thousand troops and a guard commander. There are five people from each thousand households, ten people from one hundred households, two general banners under one hundred households, fifty people from small banners under the general army, and ten sergeants under each small banner.
People.) Not only Pingliang, but also Huining and Jingning were all garrisoned and guarded, and the three guards protected one state.
Timur has retreated to Ningxia. If he wants to march into the Central Plains, Lanzhou is the first barrier. Today's Lanzhou is no longer what it used to be. Li Siqi came to the Ming Dynasty, and all his 70,000 Han troops changed their tactics and returned to Xu.
Under Da Zhang. Today, the total strength of the Lanzhou Ming Army is nearly 300,000.
Dakui, Yang Xiaohu and Kang Youcai returned to Lanzhou together, chatting and laughing along the way. Behind the three men and three cavalry were vehicles of gold, silver and jewels escorted by twenty soldiers. If these jewels were sent to Lanzhou, they would be used to buy food.
, enough to feed the army for two years. Unfortunately, due to the continuous wars, Jiangbei could not buy food. Only the rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River could still raise food.
Passing by Kongtong Mountain, Dakui went to pay a visit to senior Ouyang De.
When Ouyang De learned that the Ming army had won the victory, he was naturally very relieved. He was so happy that he insisted on keeping Dakui and the other three people to stay for dinner. Dakui could not refuse and had to stay with Kang Maocai and Yang Xiaohu. It was also because he had not drank alcohol for many days.
When I heard that Ouyang De said that he had good wine in his house, he was not only salivating.
When the younger generation meets their elders, it would seem unnatural if they are blindly polite and humble. Especially Dakui, who is regarded as a general. If he keeps a straight face all day long, he will naturally lose his affinity. To the common people, Dakui seems to be informal.
It was still early, so Ouyang De proposed to go hunting in the mountains and bring back some food and wine. Da Kuilian said he would go with him. Ouyang De chuckled and said: "The general is very skilled in martial arts, but the little old man is poor in archery. General, don't laugh at me."
"
Dakui laughed and said: "Senior, please don't be too modest. Although I am a general, I am not proficient in the art of bows and crossbows."
Hearing what Dakui said, Ouyang De became interested: "How can a general hunt without a crossbow?"
Dakui's face turned red, and then he said: "I've been throwing stones. If I'm lucky, I can hit pheasants, hares and the like."
"Hahahaha, the general is really extraordinary." Ouyang De Furan said with a smile: "These arrows will always be used up, but the stones are everywhere. The general has such a wonderful method, he must be an expert in hidden weapons. I admire him very much.
" Da Kui waved his hands and said polite words. Before leaving, Da Kui took off his armor and only wore his military uniform. He only took a long sword with him. Ouyang De was tight-fitting and neat, and carried a long bow and arrow pot on his back.
The two of them came to the door hand in hand. Ouyang De saw the cart and the soldiers guarding the cart not far from the door. He said meaningfully: "There are so many guests today. It seems that we have to go deep into the mountains to hunt some big prey."
, I wonder what the general’s intention is?”
Da Kui knew that he was being tested in school, so he immediately agreed: "The senior's suggestion is very good, and the junior also thinks so." After saying this, he greeted ten soldiers, led by Yang Xiaohu.
Kongtong Mountain has towering forests and steep cliffs, with ravines and culverts scattered all over it. It is both majestic in the north and beautiful in the south. It is said that Emperor Xuanyuan once visited this mountain in person to seek advice from Guangchengzi on how to rule the country by law. Therefore, Kongtong Mountain is famous for its natural beauty.
It is known as the "No. 1 Taoist Mountain in the World". It is early winter, and although the ancient trees in the mountains are covered with snow, small animals can often be seen running around in the forest, making everything look like a lively scene.
Dakui and Ouyang De walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing freely during the process, but their feet were as fast as flying. The mountain road was rugged and blocked by thorns and weeds, and it was quite difficult for Yang Xiaohu and ten soldiers to follow them.
Ouyang De was not surprised that Dakui was so skilled. However, Ouyang had been walking in the mountains all year round, so he was confident that his foot strength was extraordinary. Who would have thought that Dakui's foot strength was even better than his, and the two of them chatted while walking quickly.
"General, although there are pheasants and hares here, they are all small things. You and I might as well look for them to see if there are wild boars, roe deer and the like nearby." Ouyang De asked with a smile.
Dakui pointed to a peak in front of him in a funny way and said: "Stand high and see far. You and I might as well go up the mountain and take a look. I wonder what Senior Ouyang thinks?"
Ouyang De has lived here for a long time, and the mountain peak in front of him is called Cuiping Mountain. It would probably take an ordinary person a day to climb to the top, and it would take him two hours to go up. What Dakui said this time was clearly a counterattack method.
Although Ouyang De was in his middle years, he was still full of energy. Hearing this, he praised: "This is so wonderful. Anyone who is late will be punished with three drinks."
