Blood from Daming

Chapter 407 Ferris
As a forward, Zhao Ledjiao quickly passed Hamatang and drove directly to Lianshan Pass. He didn't even know that the Ming army entered Lianshan Pass in the Liaoyang area of ​​​​Jinguo, and was disguised as Jianlu Eight Banners. A charge broke through the Lianshan Pass. Facing the Ming army descended from heaven, the Tartar soldiers in Lianshan Pass were caught off guard and were defeated by the Ming army's absolute superiority.

It only took a quarter of an hour for the Ming army led by Zhao to kill the Jurchen soldiers and adult men who dared to resist, and then under the guidance of the local Liao people, they went from house to house and killed the Jianlu people. After half an hour The massacre of the Ming army completed the ethnic cleansing, and donated the houses and belongings of these Jianlu to the local Liao people who actively cooperated with the Ming army.

Zhao Ledjiao ordered the team to have lunch at Lianshan Pass, and after the troops had rested, they left a soldier and horse of the commander-in-chief's headquarters to guard Lianshan Pass, waiting for the follow-up guards to replace their positions, and Zhao led the teaching to continue to lead The troops of the headquarters left the Lianshan Pass and went all the way south to seize the passage section of Tongyuan Fort.

In the evening, Xue Polu saw Hai Dongqing flying from the north in front of his big tent. Xue Polu knew that the Eastern Route Army in Jianlu was very close. very close.

It's not that Xue Polu didn't want to go south, but with the addition of the Liao people in Liaoyang City, even if the Ming army and the Liao people had horses and carriages, the fatigue of the night still forced the team to stop and rest, but Xue Polu dared to Let the army stop at Tianshui Zhanbao City, and the bet is that the troops from Liaoyang North City and Jianlu Shengjing who will catch up.

Xue Polu believed that Jianlu's main force, Huang Taiji, was still far away from Tianshui Station, so he planned to lay an ambush for Jianlu at Motianling between Tianshui Station and Lianshan Pass, so Xue Polu naturally sent the brigade Stay at Tianshui Station as bait, otherwise the chasing Jianlu will not be easily fooled.

About ten days later, Yan Laoyao, Liu Mandun, and Song Kui came back. Yan Laoyao, Liu Mandun, and Song Kui immediately went to the Chinese army tent to meet Xue Polu. Xue Polu saw Liu Mandun and Song Kui People are bloodstained.

Xue Polu asked with concern: "Mantun, Song Kui, are you injured?"

Song Kui said, "General, it's the blood of the Tartars."

While Liu Mandun kept giggling, Xue Polu said, "There were no casualties among the other soldiers."

Youngest Yan said: "General, Man Tun and Song Kui are very skilled. It is a great help to have the two of them assisting. Only a few soldiers were slightly injured."

Xue Polu said: "That's good, this time I will give the three of you a good credit."

Yan Laoyao said: "General, we killed 34 Tartars in four places, captured five prisoners, and escaped about a dozen Tartars. The most regrettable thing is that we almost caught a Costinin. "

Xue Polu said, "Oh, they have a few sea dongqings."

Yan Laoyao said: "the team they followed in four directions was four crinoids, and the cristinoid of the last group of Tartars was stabbed by brother Song Kui, and one leg was chopped off with blood spattering everywhere. , Unfortunately, that beast still limped away."

Xue Polu asked, "Did you take anything out of the prisoner's mouth?"

Yan Laoyao said: "These dead Tartars are too hard-headed, and they will serve them with great torture in a humble position."

Xue Polu said: "Youngest, the confessions of these five Tartars are very important, you take five "Tenderness and Sweetness Pills", and you must ask them clearly that they are the bannermen of Jianlu's line, and how many of their pursuers are there? , the more detailed the situation of Jianlu, the better. "

Yan Laoyao was very happy when he heard that there was a "Tenderness and Honey Pill" to interrogate the prisoners. He immediately took Liu Mandun and Song Kui to Xue Polu's personal soldiers to get the "Tenderness and Honey Pill", and the three of them went to clean up together. The five Tartars were captured.

In order to wait for information from Yan Lao Yao and the others, Xue Polu only rested on the bed for an hour. After three o'clock, Yan Lao Yao, Liu Mandun, and Song Kui came to the big tent to report the interrogation situation.

Yan Laoyao said: "General, these are all Tartars from the northern city of Liaoyang. They gathered seven or eight thousand Jian captives and chased them down. However, they didn't dare to get close to our Eastern Route Army, but hung our Eastern Route Army from a distance. , waiting for reinforcements from Shengjing to arrive."

Xue Polu said: "Is there any situation about establishing the Eight Banners Army?"

Yan Laoyao said: "General, only one Tartar mentioned that Shengjing's Xianghuang Banner has caught up. I don't know exactly how many troops there are."

Xue Polu said: "Okay, the general knows, you go back and take the time to rest."

When the sky just dawned, the breakfast in Xue's army barracks was ready. This was also thanks to the Liao people who accompanied the army to help cook, which saved Xue's army a lot of time. The situation of other battalions of the East Route Army was similar. , the army began to set off at dawn.

The convoy of the Eastern Route Army's heavy battalion and the Liao people walked along the south side of Motianling to Hamatang, and went down to Tongyuanbao from the west entrance of Lianshan Pass. Xue Polu, Man Gui and most of the guards stayed in Motianling, and then drove Mao Yuanyi and Yu Anxing who arrived had a discussion, and finally the two agreed that Yu Anxing would stay in Motianling, and Mao Yuanyi would be in charge of the transportation team and the work of the Liao people.

Yu Anxing climbed to the top of Motianling. Yu Anxing looked down the mountain. Motianling was steep with jagged rocks. Motianling was the second highest peak in Liaodong. Lu, Man Gui, and Lu Yaojin stood on the ruins of the city wall.

Polu, Man Gui, and Lu Yaojin rushed to meet Yu Anxing. The road on the top of the mountain was slippery and Yu Anxing didn't want anyone to help him. He walked to the relics of the military defense of the Jin Dynasty and stood on the highest point of the ruins of the lord to look out.

After a long time, Yu Anxing looked away and asked, "Polu, do your Xue family have any connection with Xue Rengui, the white-robed general of the Tang Dynasty?"

Xue Polu replied: "The head of the family is the descendant of Xue Rengui, the white-robed general of the Tang Dynasty, who belongs to the lineage of Xue Gang, the third house of the third generation."

Yu Anxing laughed and said, "The Xue family in the capital is worthy of being a general. Your ancestor, the white-robed general Xue Rengui, once made great military exploits in Motianling."

Xue Polu was very excited when he heard this, and asked: "My lord, my humble official is ignorant, please tell me something about my humble official."

Yu Anxing said: "Your family's ancestor, the white-robed general Xue Rengui, shot arrows at the Motianling Mountains, defined the Yalu River, and won the victory in the Eastern Conquest of Koryo."

Xue Polu was startled and said: "The ancestor can shoot an arrow to the Yalu River."

Yu Anxing said: "That's just a metaphor for your ancestor's white-robed general Xue Rengui's martial arts are powerful and powerful, but General Xue Rengui did fight in Motianling."

Xue Polu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Sir, tell me something about this humble official."

Yu Anxing said: "After Xue Rengui was granted the post of Generalissimo of Pingliao, he led a hundred thousand soldiers to the foot of Motian Ridge, but he saw the cliffs of Motian Ridge and the misty clouds and mists. It was really difficult to capture. The next day, Xue Rengui disguised himself as a soldier, Go up the mountain alone. Compete with the two brothers Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu, the two generals who guarded the camp in Fanying. gall."

Xue Polu sighed: "The heroes of the ancestors are incomparable to the world. Although our descendants dare not look up to the ancestors, but today in Motian Ridge, we will never lose the honor of our ancestors."

Yu Anxing said: "Polu, we can take advantage of the high roads and dangers of Motianling Mountain, set up suspicion and fatigue the enemy, and take this opportunity to give Jianlu's pursuers a blow of endocrine and metabolic disorders."

At this time, a few crinoids flew from a distance, and after a while they hovered over Motianling, sometimes flying high and sometimes swooping down, flying around with their rotors on the nearly 1000-meter high slope of Motianling.

Seeing this, Xue Polu was furious, and ordered Zuo Ming's firearms battalion to shoot and kill Haidongqing. Zuo Ming immediately divided the nearly [-] firearms into five groups, aiming at five Haidongqings respectively, and the archers of the other battalions Also ready to cooperate with the action at any time, and then wait for the five sea dongqings to fly to a low place to start.

Yu Anxing said with a smile: "Polu, for a few flat-haired beasts, is it worth mobilizing people like you?"

Xue Polu said: "My lord, these Haidongqings are the eyes of Jianlu's marching and hunting. Usually, the distance from Haidongqing at the foot of the mountain is too far, so we have to let them fly around. Now we are so far away from these beasts on Motianling." It's so close, how long will it be before the humble official knocks out Jianlu's eyes."
