Blood from Daming

Chapter 411 Pursuit
When Xue Polu saw that the Ming army had defeated the troops attacking with the Yellow Banner, he took the opportunity to withdraw his troops. After the officers and soldiers only had a short rest, they would join Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui who came down from Motianling. The sky quickly receded towards Lianshan Pass, and it took only a quarter of an hour for the entire Motianling to have no more Ming army officers and soldiers.

The Eastern Route Army was marching on the road of Lianshan Pass, and the sky soon became dark. In order not to withdraw the troops, the Ming Army did not light torches, but marched forward in the dark, so the entire Eastern Route Army was advancing at a slower speed unhappy.

Xue Polu was a little depressed on the horse. The Xue family army invested huge manpower and material resources. As a result, they played a game of sledgehammer in Motianling. They only wiped out less than 2000 Jianlu troops, and did not complete the elimination of the crisis behind the Eastern Route Army. Make the East Route Army always follow a tail.

Yu Anxing asked, "Polu, you seem to have something on your mind."

Xue Polu said: "My lord, our army's battle in Motianling has not fulfilled its strategic intentions. Next, the Eastern Route Army will face greater pressure from the rear."

Yu Anxing comforted: "Polu, you wiped out 2000 Jianlu in one battle, and we ourselves only lost a dozen soldiers. This kind of battle can be said to be an unprecedented victory. Why are you still frowning? After fighting a few such beautiful victories, Jianlu will not dare to follow our Ming army."

At this time, a soldier reported: "General, there is news from the front that Lianshan Pass has arrived, and the guards guarding Lianshan Pass request to join the army."

Xue Polu said, "Allow them to go forward."

The soldiers continued to report: "General, according to the latest news reported by the guard of Lianshan Pass, the vanguard led by Zhao Zongbing has arrived in the Jiguanshan area this afternoon."

Xue Polu said to his soldiers: "Understood, you go and inform the guards at Lianshan Pass to go in order. After passing Lianshan Pass, you can light the torches."

Yu Anxing said: "If Zongbing Zhao can take down Phoenix Fort, we will be able to reach Yizhou Prefecture smoothly."

Xue Polu said: "As long as we control Phoenix Mountain, our East Route Army will be invincible."

The Eastern Route Army marched overnight and arrived at Tongyuan Fort at dawn. Mao Yuanyi had already asked the army cooks and Liao people to prepare breakfast for the follow-up Eastern Route Army. More than 2 officers and soldiers of the Eastern Route Army ate it as soon as they arrived at Tongyuan Fort. Hot rice, and then lay down and slept in the place where the striker East Route Army had rested the day before.

Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui had breakfast at Mao Yuanyi's residence. Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui were very grateful for Mao Yuanyi's proper arrangements for the officers and soldiers, which allowed the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Route Army to win more The rest time is conducive to saving energy for the next battle.

Mao Yuanyi said excitedly: "Zhongqing, Polu, and General Man, you fought beautifully in Motianling, and wiped out two thousand Xianghuang Banner Jianlu in one fell swoop. This is the first banner of the Eight Banners of the old slave Nurhachi, which is equivalent to our Ming Dynasty. Imperial Army."

Yu Anxing said: "It's a pity that there are fewer Jianlu in the middle ambush. Our East Route Army has put up such a big battle in Motianling, but we haven't completely defeated Jianlu's pursuers."

Mao Yuanyi smiled and said: "Zhongqing, you have won too many battles recently, and you don't pay attention to the elimination of 1000 or [-] Jian captives. You must know that this was a great victory in the past. If the boss and other officials hear you say so When you talk, you will say that you are cheap and good-looking."

Yu Anxing smiled and said, "Yes, before I knew it, Ben Fu himself felt that his appetite had grown a lot."

Mao Yuanyi smiled and said: "Zhongqing, Polu, and General Man, what students value is not only the elimination of two thousand Jianlu, but also the fact that the casualties of our soldiers are very small. The highest realm, Polu and Manchu, you use your troops properly, and the students can rest assured."

Xue Polu said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Mao, the final general and Brother Man really have no intention of fighting for power, but really want to attack Jianlu more flexibly."

Mao Yuanyi said: "Polu, you don't need to apologize, as long as it is beneficial to fight Jianlu, students will not care about personal gains and losses."

Man Gui followed up and said: "Brother Polu, Mr. Mao is a virtuous person, and he will not care about our current martial arts. Mr. Mao, do you think so?"

Mao Yuanyi looked at Man Gui and shook his head with a wry smile and said, "General Man, you are not an easy martial artist. Well, Zhongqing and Polu, the students are going to Jiguan Mountain with the convoy. You can rest well here."

Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui hurriedly stood up to say goodbye to Mao Yuanyi, who said, "When you arrive at Jiguan Mountain, students, let the people below prepare everything for you."

Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui hurriedly said words of gratitude, Mao Yuanyi said a few words politely, then left the place of residence under the guard of his own soldiers, and followed the last batch of Liao people's convoy to the south.

Not long after Mao Yuanyi left, the guard of the Eastern Route Army, Xue Jiajun, sent back the news that Jianlu’s pursuers were not found in the direction of Lianshan Pass in the north. This surprised Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui. When did Jianlu come? The pursuers also began to dawdle.

However, except for the Motianling and Lianshanguan roads, other roads will take more time, which makes Yu Anxing, Xue Polu, and Man Gui unable to guess what medicine is sold in Jianlu's gourd. Everyone unanimously decided to rest until noon before heading south. No matter how late it was today, they had to rush to Jiguan Mountain to join Mao Yuanyi's men.

Dabeile Daishan came out of the cowhide tent slowly after dawn. Looking at the three Turai brothers who were waiting outside the tent, Daishan picked up the cooked mutton from the plate held up by the servant on his knees. , put a large piece in his mouth and chewed it, and the servant at the side immediately handed over a bag full of fine wine.

Dabeile Daishan took a sip of fine wine and put another piece of mutton in his mouth. The three Tulai brothers knelt down to Dabeile Daishan with a "plop", and the three brothers kowtowed to Dabeile Daishan non-stop.

Tulai said sadly and angrily: "Master Big Belle, please avenge the slaves."

Dabeile Daishan looked at the three Tulai brothers who were kneeling, took another sip of wine and said, "Of course Lord Benbeile will avenge this grudge, so get up."

Tulai, Nagai, and Su Wanyan knelt down and begged Dabeile Daishan to send troops to chase the Ming army. Dabeile Daishan's face was a little ugly, and he said to the three Tulai brothers: "The three embroidered yellow flags If more warriors are willing to pursue the Ming army, then Master Baylor will let you lead the way and make meritorious deeds."

Tulai was surprised when he heard this and said: "Master Belle, the three slave brothers Bingwei take the hardships of the widows as a big responsibility."

Dabeile Daishan said angrily, "It is you three brothers who have repeatedly proposed to pursue. Now Benbeile sent you to fight in the front, and you are pushing three times and blocking four times. What do you mean?"

Tulai said anxiously: "Lord Big Baylor, the people who are really slaves suffered heavy losses yesterday, and they are unable to take on this important task."

Dabeile Daishan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Turai, what do you have to do to be willing to pursue the Ming army?"

Tu Lai said: "Please ask Big Baylor to assign some troops to the slaves."

Dabeile Daishan heard Tulai's words and said: "Well, then Wei Qizuo leads your uncles and nephews to chase the Ming army together."

Wei Qi was let in by Tulai and Dabeile Daishan, and now Wei Qi was very angry, thinking that the three brothers Tulai, Nagai, and Su Wanyan were in a panic, and they insisted on twisting it to Dabeiledai. Good to go after the officers and soldiers of the Ming army. Are these officers and soldiers of the Ming army so easy to fight?

Wei Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master Belle, one of the troops in the Ming army is the Xue family army. They have many soldiers and fierce weapons. The slaves are really hard to resist."

Dabeile Daishan pondered for a while and said: "Wei Qizuo, the Xue family army is indeed not easy to deal with. Benbeile promises you to do things cheaply, as long as you don't lose the Liaodong army, it will be the first achievement."

Wei Qi was overjoyed when he heard the words of Big Baylor Daishan, "Master Baylor, this slave is taking orders."
