Facing the Mongolian soldiers who rushed over even more violently, Xu Xiu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, who was holding a steel knife and standing solemnly, looked pale and bit his teeth.

He knew that the Ming army, who were fighting to the death around him, had reached the limit of support after the civilians were destroyed, facing the enemy with twice the strength.

One Ming army after another fell down screaming. It is actually not easy for these light cavalrymen who were originally used to chase and escort to achieve the same battle loss exchange ratio when fighting twice the enemy in such a pure infantry combat state.

At this desperate moment, Xu Xiu suddenly thought of his past.

At first, he was just a boy student from Huang County, Shandong Province. He took the exam three times, but he never got the exam. He was discouraged and went home to be a teacher who taught children to enlighten them. Unexpectedly, he was not lucky enough. After only a year, he encountered Kong Youde's rebellion. Xu Xiu's family was killed. He was the only one who escaped by luck and escaped the disaster.

After the Kong Youde Rebellion was quelled, the population of Huang County was greatly reduced and children were even scarce. Therefore, although Xu Xiu was left alone, it was quite difficult to make a living. After eating, he was worried about the next meal.

At this moment, Li Xiao, who had just built Chifeng Fort, recruited scholars on a large scale in Zhaoyuan and other places in Huangxian County. Xu Xiu, who was trapped in his livelihood, went to sign up without hesitation.

Soon, with his good eloquence, Xu Xiu moved Li Xiao, who was interviewing in person, and was arranged to be a preaching supervisor.

He first served as the governor of the auxiliary army, and then, after Li Xiao attacked and killed the bandit Black Scorpion who invaded Shan County, Xu Xiu was transferred to the supervisor of the propaganda officer against the prisoners of the bandits' new affiliated army.

Not long after, Xu Xiu was transferred to the supervisor of the newly established rampant team because of his outstanding work.

Later, Li Xiao led his army to Jinjiazhuang Fort on Xuanfu North Road. After successfully repelling the Qing army that entered the pass, he then built Jintang City at the original Jinjiazhuang Fort. Xu Xiu, who had excellent work ability, was arranged to stay in Jintang City. Later, Xu Xiu was promoted step by step until he became the current director of the Jinlang Camp Supervisory Office.

Until now, when he became the envoy to the Tumowu Ministry, he had spent nearly four years in Li Xiao's army without realizing it.

Now, he is in a high position and respected in this Tiger Army, which was named by the emperor himself. Compared with the original teacher who was not even easy to support himself, he is completely different.

Last year, Xu Xiu finally got married in Jintang City and married a Shanxi woman who was originally a refugee. The family lived happily in Jintang City. At the beginning of this year, his son was born smoothly. Xu Xiu burst into tears and told his ancestors that the Xu family finally had a descendant.

I originally thought that this time I went to the Tumote tribe to propose marriage was a dull task, but I didn't expect that Abahanal Khan Hailigu, who had a bone in his head, would attack this small bride-proposal team in such a despicable way.

However, at this time of battle, this team of only more than 100 soldiers and dozens of civilians had killed nearly 400 elite Mongolian cavalry, which was a miracle.

At this time, a Mongolian soldier howled and squeezed away the guard next to Xu Xiu and rushed over. It was not just that when he was about to raise his knife to slash, a sharp steel knife had penetrated his chest deeply.

This is Xu Xiu's first murder.

He smuggled the steel knife that penetrated the Mongolian soldier deeply into the chest and stirred it hard.

The Mongolian soldier's face suddenly turned distorted and ferocious. He roared and slowly fell to the ground.

"Brothers, our army is enough to comfort Lord Li at this point!" Xu Xiu, who had a bloody face, shouted loudly: "Brothers, today we are here, fight the gang of hateful Tartars to the end! Kill the Tartars and go to the heavenly court!"

"Kill the Tartars and go to heaven!"

"Kill the Tartars and go to heaven!"

The only sixty Ming soldiers left yelled this slogan they had shouted many times in the fierce battle.

There was a trace of inexplicable hope in everyone's decisive eyes.

If we were destined to die in this distant foreign land, and if we were destined to shed all our blood and sacrifice our lives in this cold grassland, then we, the children and grandchildren of the Han family who fought loyally, would be able to enter the gate of heaven with their heads held high and their chests.

Seeing the remaining Ming army still fighting to the death, Abahanal Khan Hailigu was furious. He stared at his blood-red eyes, roared ferociously, waved his bent waist, and took Xu Xiu, who was protected by the Ming army.

Capture the king first.

Hailigu was convinced that as long as he killed this hateful Han leader, the remaining Ming army would no longer have the courage and motivation to fight and would be allowed to slaughter himself.

In the inner circle, the Makata saw the Ming and Mongolian soldiers fighting together in the outer circle, but they were not worried about their own safety for a moment, but were deeply shocked by the fierce battle situation.

Unexpectedly, this Ming army with such a small number of people could destroy several times the Mongolian soldiers, and could fight to the death with these Mongolian soldiers who were still twice the first, which is truly admirable.

And is such a brave Ming army really the useless and timid army that Khan Ama had in the past?

However, how long can these Ming troops, who are fearless and bloody, last?

What a terrible thing those Mongolian soldiers who are ruthless and bloodthirsty should do to themselves.

Thinking of this, Makata's heart suddenly tensed up again.

At this critical moment, something that neither side of the warring party had ever thought of happened.

From the horizon to the south, a thin black line suddenly surged.

And in an instant, the black line immediately became thicker and larger, and rushed from the direction of the horizon toward this small hill that was fighting to the death.

"Ah! King Khan, the reinforcements of the Ming army are here!"

Garu's voice sounded in horror behind Abahanal Khan King Hailigu who was fighting to the death.

ah?!

No way?!

Will there be a reinforcement from the Ming army arrive?!

Hailigu flashed and retreated, turned his head and looked in the direction that Galu pointed. He was surprised to see that from the southern boundary, a large number of cavalry had already appeared in turbulently, and the flags could be seen from afar. The swords, guns and armor on each person were shining with golden light under the bright sunlight.

Abahanal Khan Hailigu, whose originally crazy and passionate mood instantly fell into the bottom of the ice lake.

The reinforcements from the Ming army were so fucking coincidental.

It's over, it's all gone!

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Galu's voice was already loud.

Hearing his Dajinong shouted like this, the Mongolian soldiers who thought they were in high spirits of fighting suddenly became like eggplant beaten by frost, and quickly became unconscious.

Galu led a mount to Hailigu and asked him to go down the mountain and escape immediately.

Seeing that his leader was the first to escape, he didn't know who shouted. The Mongolian soldiers who had been besieging around turned around and rushed down the mountain. The horses fled in front, while the horses didn't followed behind without their butts, and staggered and ran downhill.

At this time, Xu Xiu and other Ming troops, who had originally thought they were dead, were surprised when they saw the Mongolian cavalry turning around and fleeing. They didn't know why these Mongolian soldiers gave up the victory and retreated when they were about to win.

It was not until they saw the Ming army rushing towards the southern border that these soldiers who had been exhausted at this point that they understood what had happened.

"Okay, Lord Li personally led the cavalry of the Golden Wolf Camp to help. It's really God's will!"

Xu Xiu held a thousand-mile mirror in his hand. When he saw the heroic and agile figure of Chi Feng Bo Li Xiao who was leading the crowd in the mirror, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Ming army fighting to the death immediately cheered continuously, and many people waved their swords and cried loudly.

It was not easy. After fighting to the point of death, I actually waited for my own reinforcements.

Because everyone was injured and exhausted, so Xu Xiu did not order the remaining Ming army to pursue the remaining guarding troops.

Because, he was convinced that these Mongolian Tartars who fled in a panic would never escape the Jinlang Camp soldiers who were pursuing them.

Xu Xiu was right. Li Xiao, who came from the south, was leading 600 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, 500 flying knights, 100 guard cavalry, and 500 Manchurian cavalry who were still wearing Zhenghuang Banner cavalry armor, and a huge force of 1,200 cavalry, all of which were selected from the army of Abahanal tribe who had been in labor for one year. He was urgently surrounded by the Mongolian soldiers of Abahanal tribe who were fleeing in panic.

Soon, the Feijiazi and the Manzhou cavalry, who were surrounded by the left and right wings, successfully surpassed them. After the bloody battle, the horse-drawn cavalry, who were exhausted from both men and horses, blocked their retreat in front.

Soon, the Xuanhu heavy cavalry and Li Xiao's escort cavalry rushed over in time and surrounded the fleeing Mongol cavalry of Abahanar from behind.

Li Xiao, who was bounded by himself, was very glad to be able to escape, and led his crowd to chase the enemy.

Speaking of which, Li Xiao was able to arrive here by chance because of the escaped Qing princess Makata.

It turned out that on that day, after Makata and Ezhe fled with a group of followers, the Security Department in Liaodong immediately informed Li Xiao of the major changes that occurred in the Qing Dynasty in the form of Feige's report.

Two days later, Li Xiao received the letter, and he immediately thought keenly that if he could firmly control the escaped Makata, Ezhe and others in his own hands, it would be a major blow to the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time, it could also better integrate the Mongolian tribes.

So Li Xiao made a quick decision and immediately led all the cavalry from the Jinlang Camp to the north to the Mongolian grasslands to search for Makata and others who were fleeing west.

In order to deal with the possible brigade of Qing army pursuers, Li Xiao not only brought the Xuanhu heavy cavalry and the remaining Feiyaker light cavalry, but also brought 500 former Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner cavalry who had just finished labor reform from the Jintangcheng coal mine and sulfur mine and were training in Jintangcheng city.

Li Xiao asked them to form the Manchurian Cavalry Poster of the Zhengbai Banner of Chifeng Camp, just like the Manchurian Cavalry Poster of the Jinlang Camp, and from Kalamu, who had surrendered to the border town, but now he has become one of his confidants, he became the commander of the cavalry poster and went to war with him.

These Manchu soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner were all captured by Li Xiaona, who pretended to be the Qing army's plan and captured the elite Zhenghuang Banners. Subsequently, when they were in the Zhenbian City in the western part of the capital last year, they were arranged by Li Xiao to go to the coal mine and sulfur mine in Jintang City for mining and labor reform.

After more than a year of labor reform, more than 200 Manchu Tartars died during labor reform under heavy physical labor. The remaining 2,000 Tartars were reorganized on the spot as auxiliary soldiers of the Jinlang Camp after the labor reform.

Now, among these auxiliary soldiers, Li Xiao first selected 500 Manzhou people who had the best cavalry and shooting skills and had good knowledge of Chinese characters and established Manzhou Cavalry Strike.

Of course, the Manzhou cavalry sentry of the Golden Wolf Camp is also like the Manzhou cavalry sentry of the Chifeng Camp in Li Xiao. It has a supervisory and tutoring department composed of Han civil servants, which is in charge of military merit assessment, cultural education, military discipline inspection and other matters, so as to ensure that the army has two teams of combat and life, so as to divide the generals' control over the military and strengthen their actual control over the grassroots military.

Moreover, over the past year, these Manchu soldiers, whether during mining labor reform or as auxiliary soldiers, had high-intensity brainwashing education from the supervisors every day. Now, these Manchu soldiers, who have long hair, dressed like Han people, and their daily life habits are no different from Han people, are in their hearts and have quite recognized their identity as Han people.

There were even many Manchu soldiers who gave themselves Han names. After becoming auxiliary soldiers, they married Han women in Jintang City to start a family and start a business.

Therefore, Li Xiao was very relieved about the Manzhou cavalry sentry composed of the elite cavalry of the former Zhenghuang Banner. He brought them together in the search and battle of the grassland that he entered, which was considered to be an additional light cavalry that was as important as Fei Jiazi.

What Li Xiao didn't expect was that the Makata team did not meet, but happened to arrive here and rescued the bride-proposal team that was sneak attacked by the rebel Abahanal tribe.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the hot sunlight in midsummer made the grasslands boil. However, in this hot environment, the entire besieged position was silent.

Abahanal Khan Hailigu, gasping heavily, stared at him with an extremely resentful look. Accompanied by several guards, a young general who was slowly riding his horse and with an extraordinary figure and dignity.

This magnificent general wearing bright silver fine steel armor, eight-petaled phoenix winged tassel helmet, a lion-shaped jade belt, a bronze shin-protecting boots, a bright red flower cloak, and a horse riding a tall horse with black body, but four-hooves, did not avoid Hailigu's resentful and direct gaze, and came with a high spirit.

At first glance, the young general's heart-covering mirror on his chest, which was as clear as a lake, was reflecting the scorching sun, shining with a charming luster. On the top of the eight-petaled phoenix-winged tassel made of fine steel made of fine steel, the high red tassel made of bright red tassels were like a cheerful red flame in the sunlight.

Hailigu sighed in his heart. This person is so majestic and brave, I am afraid that it is their chief general Li Xiao. I have always heard of this young hero Li Xiao, with extraordinary achievements, but I didn't expect that until today, I finally saw the real person.

Soon, after the young general rode his horse, the guards near him shouted in Mongolian: "My master is Li Xiao, the Ming Dynasty's Chifeng Bo, Li Xiao. Which Mongolian tribe do you belong to? Are you so bold and dare to sneak attack my team?!"

What answered him was silence.

The surrounded Mongolian soldiers all lowered their heads, drooped and no one answered.

The guard sneered and continued to ask: "Why, are you all dead dogs? No one dared to answer when our army asked. Could it be that they were all deaf?!"

"Damn! You guys can see clearly. I'm Hailigu, the Khan of the Abahanar tribe!"

Hailigu, who was so humiliated by a guard, had a hot face. He took a few steps forward and shouted fiercely and loudly at Li Xiao.

At this time, Hailigu was surprised to see that Li Xiao, after listening to the guard's translation, nodded to him with a smile.

Then, Li Xiaofu whispered to the guard.
Chapter completed!
