Wanli Xinming

Chapter 64 Tartars
On the tenth day of March in the second year of Wanli, Jianzhou soldiers were launched at Panshanyi and Huabaochongbao at the same time.The Jianzhou right guard Juechangan commanded two thousand infantry and horses, and attacked the side wall at Panshanyi, but failed to return.

In the direction of Huabaochong Fortress, Wang Gao led his headquarters with [-] horses, [-] cavalry from Tumut and Taining, [-] cavalry, broke through the border wall and entered the fortresses of Shenyangwei and Liaoyangwei. , ready to loot.

Li Rusong took the command of Li Chengliang, the commander in chief, and led two hundred cavalrymen to rush between the fortresses.Due to the early deployment, the people around the fortresses all dragged their families into the city to avoid the disaster, and there was chaos everywhere.Li Rusong turned his feet upside down and killed two horses in two days.

Wang Gao divided his troops into eight cavalry teams and plundered them. He led his own army of [-] infantry and [-] cavalry as the central army. He was busy for two days, only breaking eight or nine small enclosures, and he won not many people and property.

Lailihong led the team out for nearly a hundred miles, but still found nothing.On the third day, he returned to the Central Army and told Wang Gao, "Mafa, the information about the location must have been leaked when we entered the border this time. Usually at this time of year, the Han people have to work in the fields, so why are these hundreds of miles of villages deserted? If we don’t have provisions, we will kill the horse if we go further!”

Wang Gao pondered: "Except for the fact that we deliberately let Lang Manzi and the Han Chinese housekeeper hear some rumors, the other members of the discussion are all Jurchen - the letter that the housekeeper got is still fake, how could it be like this?"

Lai Lihong immediately spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm and cursed: "It must be those Aqinas from Juechang's An family who tipped off the news, otherwise, it wouldn't be so strange!" Then she said earnestly: "Mafa, don't let his family's The little bitch is confused, his family is not the same as us!"

Jue Changan and Wang Gao have been married for many years. Wang Gao's daughter married Takshi and gave birth to Nurhaci.A young granddaughter of Jue Changan was married to Wang Gao's son, who had not yet given birth.Hearing Li Hong's rude remarks, Wang Gao glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

After thinking about it carefully, Wang Gao felt the cold wind swish on his back again, and his heart was beating.To Lailihong: "If you don't think it's bad, according to Li Chengliang's usual style of play, it will definitely block our back road. At this time, the back road may have been broken. Come on!"

Called a few messengers, and ordered: "Hurry out and let each team take back their troops!"

On the evening of March 250th, Wang Gao gathered the troops together.The Taining Ministry was very lucky. They found four small enclosures in the direction of Fu’an where the common people had not fled into the city. They killed all the old and weak, and led more than [-] Han men and women into the camp with straw ropes. Now, these people dare not cry, they can only cry in a low voice.

According to the agreement of Wang Gao, Tumut, and Taining, these slaves Jianzhou Jurchen will only receive [-]%, and whoever robs them will return the other property.There are no treasures in the small enclosure, and the Mongolian cavalry soldiers are filled with iron pots, farm implements, and cotton cloth in large and small packages.

The generals entered Wang Gao's camp, and they compared their gains one after another, and most of them were empty-handed.Wang Gao motioned to Lihong to tell about the leak of the news. Everyone listened and felt a little scared when they remembered Li Chengliang's illustrious name.

Wang Gao clapped his hands and shouted: "Everyone, the two thousand horses of the right guard are on the Hetao side, feigning to attack Panshan. No one knows what to do at this time. Look at us, the Han people are already prepared, and I guess the back road has been cut off by Li Chengliang. It's gone!"

Nei and Wei Zheng listened, both of them were afraid of being beaten by Li Chengliang, so they quickly said, "Atuhan, why don't we withdraw."

Wang Gao sneered after hearing this: "Where to go? And rush out from the flower bag? As expected, Li Chengliang must be waiting for us behind!"

Therefore, the second king Gao gathered his troops and horses, and Shupai Hai also followed.He has always had some rules, and he heard the words: "Atuhan, the horses have lost weight after a winter, and they should not have launched troops. This time, it was an unexpected idea. If the Han people are prepared, they will definitely lose money— Why don't we fight forward, the Han infantry moves slowly and can't keep up with us, if we can build a big stockade, we can grab some supplies."

Wang Gao listened and nodded: "I have seen Li Chengliang's style of play in these years. The infantry in front used the stockade or formed a formation to withstand it, and the left and right cavalry flanked in the back. It has been three days since we entered the border. I guess Li Chengliang's cavalry. It should be less than [-] miles away from us. If we retreat at this time, we will inevitably crash into the net. I agree with the opinion of the Great Khan - we all ride forward to fight, pass through Hupiyi, enter Hetao from Changshengbao, and bring him here. A pair!"

After the plan was settled, Wang Gao sent reconnaissance horses to the front and back.Everyone ate some jerky and slept hastily.

In the early morning of the next day, the god of heaven was beautiful, and it actually started to rain. Everyone was overjoyed and said: God of longevity (shaman) bless, the firearms of the Han people are useless!

The cavalry with two horses and three horses gave up their horses to the infantry to ride on, and all the slaves they grabbed were killed, and the brigade rushed forward.Along the way, the detective rides out and explores the surrounding trends.

Wang Gao's brigade walked for an hour and a half, and Li Rubai came out from the mountain path with a dozen cavalrymen and saw the traces of the camp they left behind.

He was wearing armor with a scorpion over it. He was shivering with cold. The cavalry around him were shuttled between the forts these days, cold and tired, and all of them turned blue.

Li Rubai saw that the floor was full of feces and urine, and some sick horses who were killed were lying on the ground, and his heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had touched Wang Gao's team.He quickly approached to observe, and saw that in the northwest corner of the camp, hundreds of Han men and women were dead on the ground.

Li Rubai instructed: "See if there are still people alive—" Before he finished speaking, he heard a shrill cry, and a unkempt woman sat in the pile of corpses.

The servant next to Li Rubai quickly pulled out his waist knife, approached and helped the woman up and brought him to Li Rubai's side.

Li Rubai saw that the woman was wearing a shabby jacket, revealing the already hardened cotton.During the action, he could see that he was physically fit, not like he was injured, and he should not be too old, but his face was unkempt and blood was on his face, so he couldn't tell what his original appearance was.

When she came to the front, the woman cried and kowtowed.Li Rubai asked, "Where are you from? What's your name?"

The woman replied: "General, my name is Erya, and my surname is Zhao. It belongs to the Zhao carpenter's family in Zhaotun, woo-woo--I heard that Tartar was coming, and everyone ran to hide in the Lijiaweizi. The day before yesterday, Tartar I broke the perimeter, woo woo, I'm the only one left in the family." After speaking, he burst into tears, and those tears rolled down Li Rubai's heart.

Li Rubai calmly asked, "Why didn't you get killed?"

Seeing the question, the woman twitched again and said hesitantly, "I, I was hiding in the vegetable cellar and was caught by a little Tartar, he—he took over my body, and when the Tartar soldiers left, he wiped my face. After pretending to be dead, I used a knife to stab me twice on the side of my jacket." After speaking, he raised his arms, and there were indeed two holes in the jacket under his armpits.

Li Rubai let out a breath and asked, "Where did the Tartar soldiers go, can you see it?"

The woman pointed to the west and replied, "I didn't dare to move at that time. I heard people screaming that the horse was neighing, so I went to the west." Li Rubai waved, and a cavalry mounted on his horse and went west.

After a while, the family member came back and reported: "Second Master, the traces of the brigade have gone west, and there is no way to hide it."

When Li Rubai heard the words, he said happily: "Father's expectations are good, this Wang Gao must pass by the edge of Liaoyang, ha, it is their ability to pass Liaoyang!"

He asked the woman again: "The Tartar soldiers are gone, why don't you run away? What are you still doing here?"

Erya pointed back and replied, "My father and my brother died here, and I don't know where to go? Shicai used a wooden stick to dig a hole and wanted to bury them, but when I heard the voice, I didn't know where to go. Hiding in the pile of dead people, and listening to the general speak Chinese, only dare to speak out."

Li Rubai almost burst into tears when he heard it, and arranged for a cavalry soldier to say: "You take her to Tieling, and after the battle is over, let eldest brother put her in place—fuck you, bastard, this time the young master can't spare them! "

After arranging two more cavalrymen to report to Li Chengliang, Li Rubai waved his hand and said, "The rest get on horses and follow the Tartar Brigade to see where they run!"
