In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 48 The Han Queen will not live an ignoble existence

"Brother Lin, it's bad, the Jurchens are coming to kill..."

After a fierce battle, just when Lin Rui hugged the soft Na Mu Zhong and wanted to have a good talk, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Mrs. Niu rushed in in a panic.

Namuzhong trembled, obviously frightened, and hurriedly got into bed.

Lin Rui also frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "Sister-in-law Niu, how many times have I told you that the Houjin Tartars are also human beings, and they are not as scary as you think. Why did you panic when you heard they were coming?" If the other brothers and sisters see this, what will they think?"

"No, Brother Lin, this time there are at least several thousand Tatars coming, and they are already rushing to the valley."

Mrs. Niu explained quickly and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was obviously really anxious.

"Okay, let brothers prepare for battle."

Lin Rui said and got out of bed. He didn't have any worries in front of Mrs. Niu and put on his clothes directly.

He also knew that no matter how much he said, it was useless. A battle had to be fought. He had already been mentally prepared for the Houjin Tartars to come, so he was not surprised at all.

Na Mu Zhong, who was on the bed, quietly poked his head out and took a peek at Lin Rui. Seeing that he had heard so much about Hou Jin Tazi's call, there was no trace of panic on his face. He thought that this Han family member was not Totally reckless and arrogant person.

Obviously, as the Khan Queen of Mongolia, Namuzhong is proficient in Chinese and heard the conversation between the two people just now clearly.

At this time, Mrs. Niu also calmed down a lot. She took a few steps forward and shouted at her: "What are you looking at? If you don't get up quickly and help the young master get dressed, you don't understand anything..."

After scolding, he helped Lin Rui get dressed and said: "Brother Lin, you see, no matter how beautiful this Mongolian woman is, she is just a vase that can't do anything. How can she be as virtuous as our Han women? "

After Lin Rui finished dressing, he just glanced at Na Mu Zhong, who was still stunned, and walked out of the house quickly, ignoring Sister Niu's chatter.

When I came outside the house, I saw a large group of people surrounded by darkness.

Apparently, they heard all the noise he made in the house just now. Their faces suddenly turned black and they shouted loudly: "What the hell are you doing here? The carriage is already loaded up?"

"Sir, the carriage has been loaded up a long time ago."

"Haha, the young master is still mighty. The brothers heard the Tatar Khan's begging for mercy just now."

Gouwa stepped forward with a wretched look and laughed.

"Yes, yes, the young master is still awesome..."

Everyone else also followed suit, all complimenting him.

Seeing that they were getting more and more enthusiastic as they talked, Lin Rui's face finally got a little hot from the words, and he shouted again: "The Tatars have just entered the valley, and it's getting late. They will definitely not rush to attack today. We have a wall. No matter how many Tatars come, they will be destined to die. They will go and do whatever they want, and they will all disperse. Also, from now on, we will enter a state of war readiness, and all men and women will sleep separately."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Lin Rui was confident and did not pay any attention to the Tatars who would invade, everyone finally calmed down a lot and replied in unison that they were already used to sleeping separately during wartime.

It wasn't until everyone left that Lin Rui said to Zhang Xiuying: "Sister Xiuying, arrange for two people to take care of Nana Mu Zhong's daily life from now on, monitor her every move, and make the house she lives in better. "

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Zhang Xiuying nodded.

Sister-in-law Niu on the side was not happy: "Brother Lin, she is a prisoner, why should she be served by others? Are you really planning to marry her?"

"Sister Niu, Brother Lin has his own reasons for doing this, so don't worry about it."

Zhang Xiuying was afraid that Lin Rui would be angry, so she quickly took Sister Niu away.

"Sister Xiuying, aren't you afraid that Brother Lin will be fascinated by that woman in the future?" Mrs. Niu whispered as she walked away.

"That woman is the Khan Queen of Mongolia, which is equivalent to the Queen of our Ming Dynasty. If Brother Lin really wants to stay on the grassland, marrying her will be beneficial to his future career." Obviously, Zhang Xiuying is better than Niu Sister-in-law. He is more knowledgeable and knows Lin Rui's intentions.

"Bah! Is she worthy to be compared with our queen? Our Han queen will not be as shameless as she is and live an ignoble existence. In front of our Han queen, she is like a crow."

Mrs. Niu said with disdain.The queens of the Han people are high above the world, and their mothers are respected by the world. Let alone being snatched away by others, it is difficult for ordinary people to even take a look at them. Even if the country is destroyed, most of them will choose to commit suicide and die for the country. How can they ignore their integrity and live in an ignoble way? They just returned Screaming so happily?

"Well, as long as she can help Brother Lin achieve great things, we will take her as our leader from now on. Besides, although she can't compare with our empress of the Ming Dynasty, she is not comparable to us."

Although Zhang Xiuying looked down on this Mongolian queen from the bottom of her heart, her status was there after all, and she could not compare with Sister Niu.

Sister Niu thought about it and realized that they were indeed crows after all, but they were not even crows, so she had to say: "Brother Lin is a little wronged. With his ability, even if he married a princess back in the Ming Dynasty, he would not be a shabby person." !”

.........

At dusk, Yue Tuo and his army finally reached the foot of the mountain col. Looking at the surrounding terrain, the stockade and the wall on the mountain col, his brows also furrowed into the character "Sichuan".

"Master Bei Zi, it's getting late today, so let's attack again tomorrow!"

Chatu said carefully, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

The other 14 Mongolian chiefs looked at the terrain in front with the same frown, knowing that this was definitely a tough battle. Fortunately, there were still [-] Han slaves as cannon fodder, otherwise this battle would really be impossible to fight.

"Well, it's really not appropriate to attack now, so let's set up camp first."

"Kashgar, does the other party really only have 500 people?"

Yue Tuo nodded, then looked at Kashi again.

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Beizi, and most of them are women." Kashgar quickly replied, and the other Mongolian chiefs also nodded.

Yue Tuo was relieved when he heard this. If the opponent's 500 men were all elite soldiers, he might not be able to conquer this kind of terrain.

After confirming the opponent's strength, Yue Tuo chose to camp by the river at the bottom of the valley, not worrying that the opponent would dare to attack the camp at night.

Lin Rui really didn't dare to carry out a night attack, because firstly it was unnecessary and secondly it was too risky, so he made up his mind and waited for the Tatars to take the initiative to attack.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, after breakfast, Yue Tuo couldn't wait to issue the order to attack.

A thousand Han slaves, driven by five hundred Mongolian Tatars, rushed towards the hillside carrying ladders and shields, and two hundred Jin Tatars were left behind.

And those ladders and shields were all made by Shanxi merchants. After being taken away by the Mongols, they were brought over again, which saves Yue Tuo from having to make them again.

"Hurry up, anyone who dares to stop and retreat will be shot to death with one arrow!"

Seeing that they had reached the mountainside, the Han slaves in front slowed down and hesitated a little, while the Mongolian Tatars behind them bent their bows and nocked arrows in a threatening manner.

"Come to me if you are afraid of the enemy, I will kill you without mercy!"

The two hundred Houjin Tatars also raised their knives and started shouting.

Obviously the Mongols used Han slaves as cannon fodder and shields, and they themselves were used as shield cannon fodder by the Houjin Tatars.

Facing the cold rain of arrows from the Mongolian Tatars, the Han slaves could only continue to move upward cautiously. The timid ones had already turned pale and their legs were trembling.

Looking at this scene, Lin Rui and the others on the wall were extremely angry, and they all gnashed their teeth in anger.

"Sir, these Tatars are so despicable. They even use us Han compatriots as shields."

"Damn, these Tatars are so abominable. Master, what should we do?"

"Just do whatever you have to do. Although the Tatars are hateful, now is not the time to be soft-hearted. Otherwise, once the Tatars attack the stronghold, we will all be doomed."

Lin Rui waved his hand and said with a sinking face.

No one said anything more. Although these Han compatriots were robbed by the Tatars just like them, they sympathized with them. It was impossible for them to risk their own safety and show mercy.
