Chapter 302 Chase to Ruzhou
Gao Yihuan clenched his fists and scanned the entire mine. There were corpses everywhere, and the houses at the foot of the mountain were also burned down by the Tartars.

The entire mine was completely destroyed by the Tartars, and more than a thousand Wei soldiers who guarded the mine disappeared.

"Go and check around to see if there are any survivors?" Gao Yihuan's knuckles clattered, and the anger in his words could be felt by many generals.

The soldiers hurriedly went to investigate, and the whole mine was indeed slaughtered by the Tartars, but most of the dead were women, the old and the weak, and some soldiers, young and strong, should have been taken away by the Tartars.

This further confirmed Gao Yihuan's previous judgment that Duoduo wanted to take the people to attack the city, but he didn't have much food, so as long as the useful ones were young and strong, the useless ones would be driven over and killed.

At this time, Wang Deren led the soldiers to bring over a headless corpse in iron armor, put it in front of Gao Yihuan, then took off a blood-stained waist card, presented it to Gao Yihuan, and said solemnly: "Jie Shuai, it is the mine guard team." Gao Zugui."

Gao Yihuan took the military badge, which read "Newly Attached to the First Battalion, Deputy Commander Gaozu Gui of the Second Division", and his face sank immediately.

The person who died was the mine guard general arranged by Gao Yihuan, who was Gao Yihuan's uncle according to his seniority.

Baofeng was in the hinterland of Henan, and the surrounding bandits had been wiped out long ago. Even if they were not wiped out, they would sell Gao Yihuan to save face, and dared not take the idea of ​​​​the mine.

This place was originally a safe place, but he didn't expect that the Tatars could leave Longmen Pass without a sound, and after passing Rulin, they suddenly killed Baofeng and destroyed Gao Yihuan's mine.

This made Gao Yihuan a little puzzled, his cheeks twitched, "Carry it down, and find the first-level burial!"

Wang Deren waved his hand immediately, and several soldiers carried the body away.

Gao Yihuan said again with a sullen face, "Is there anything else you found?"

"Jie Shuai, the soldiers counted just now and found that there were less than 500 dead soldiers. There should be five hundred more. I don't know if they were captured or escaped!" Wang Deren clasped his fists and said.

"Send scouts to expand the search area. There is no way there will be no survivors in such a large mine!" Gao Yihuan said with red eyes, "Also, let the soldiers deal with the corpses so that those who died tragically can rest in peace early."

"Yes!" Wang Deren accepted the order with cupped fists, but then said: "Jie Shuai, the humble officer just released a lot of corpses of Shunjun, nearly a thousand of them, and they were not beheaded!"

Gao Yihuan was slightly taken aback, "Shunjun's body?"

How could there be Shunjun in the mine?Gao Yihuan frowned, as if he had a clue, but he still needed more information to prove his thoughts.

Now his eyes are darkened, and he urgently needs to know more information, such as how many Tartars came and when they left, and why there are nearly a thousand corpses of Shunjun in the mine.

Gao Yihuan asked with a gloomy face, "Where did you put the wolf smoke, did you find it?"

"Reporting to Commander, I have already sent people to investigate!" Jin Shenghuan said hastily.

At this moment, a pair of cavalry in the distance suddenly rushed towards the front of the mountain, attracting Gao Yihuan's eyes.

The cavalry approached from far away, and after a while, they galloped not far from Gao Yihuan. A very embarrassed figure got off his horse before the scouts, ran to Gao Yihuan's horse, and plopped down.

The man was wearing a tattered iron armor, and there were many wounds on his body. The blood had solidified on his body, and it had turned black.

Looking at his appearance, one could tell that after a bloody battle, there were indeed still people alive in such a large mine.

"Marshal, avenge your brothers!" As soon as he bowed down, he burst into tears and his voice choked.

Jin Shenghuan hurriedly got off his horse, "What's going on? Tell Jieshuai well!"

When Gao Yihuan saw the person coming, he had a little image. He seemed to be the first batch of students in the martial arts hall. He tried his best to recall, and finally remembered his name, so he got off his horse and helped him up. What's going on here. The commander-in-chief got the news and rushed over immediately, why did the mine become like this in only six days?"

"Reporting to the Commander, Liu Zhong, the governor of Zhiniang's Ruzhou, surrendered to the Tartars. The brothers were unprepared, and were killed by the Tartars and Liu Zhong. Most of them died in battle. Only the humble leaders Some miners and craftsmen escaped from the back mountain." Sun Chengcheng cried.

Hearing this, Gao Yihuan was instantly furious. He said why the Tartars killed Baofeng, and no one warned them all the way. He didn't receive the news until the Tartars arrived in Baofeng. It turned out that Liu Zhong had surrendered Duoduo.

"How did Liu Zhong and Tazi take over the mine?" Gao Yihuan couldn't hide his anger.

Sun Chengchi said sadly and indignantly: "I don't know the specific situation, I just know that someone came to the mine to ask for help, saying that there were thieves attacking the county seat. Brother, there are more than 2000 miners who went to the rescue. When it was dark, the defeated Shun army in the county fled to the mine. They surrendered to the Tartars a long time ago, so the Tartars rushed into the mine. The mine was captured by the Tartars that night. Thousands of Tartars and more than [-] rebels blocked the road. , escaped and ascended to heaven."

"How many people escaped?" Gao Yihuan's face sank like water.

"There were only more than 2000 people who broke through the siege, and were chased and killed by the Tartars for a while, and more than 500 people died. The humble officials and the rest were trapped on a mountain and never dared to go down the mountain." Sun Chengchi choked up and said: "Daddy Handsome, miserable brothers!"

Gao Yihuan clenched his fists, "Do you know where Tartar and Liu Zhong are going? How long?"

"I don't know about this lowly position, but Tazi and Liu Zhong must have gone to the capital city of Ruzhou."

"How far is Ruzhou from here?" Gao Yihuan asked angrily.

"Jie Shuai, about 200 li!" Jin Shenghuan replied.

Gao Yihuan turned his head and glanced at the corpses in the mine, and said through gnashing teeth, "Wang Deren, the rear army has ordered 1000 people to clean up the corpses, and all other ministries will follow this commander to Ruzhou. This commander is going to skin Liu Zhong."

Since he brought the Tartars to slaughter the mine and built the corpses into a city to humiliate Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan decided to kill the thief to relieve his hatred.

Three days later, on the capital city of Ruzhou, there were many rebels and Tartar soldiers. A man like an iron tower stood with a general in white armor, looking out from the city.

A day ago, a large group of Wei army horse troops appeared outside the city, but as soon as the Qing army cavalry left the city, the Wei army horse troops under the city retreated immediately.

Today, a large group of infantry began to appear outside the city. One by one Wei soldiers gathered outside the city, set up camps, and rushed to make equipment, posing as if they were going to attack the city.

"Look at that big banner, Gao Yihuan probably came here in person!" Bai Jiajiang pointed to a big banner in the distance, and smiled to the left and right.

"Guo Gong, look at the situation, there are quite a few people coming from Gao Yihuan. This man is famous for his revenge, and he will definitely storm the city. Should we ask for help from Lord Yu?" The tower-like man is Liu Zhong, but he is not as good as Shen Zhixiang, Xushun Gong next to him, has confidence.
