Chapter 783: The Blood-stained Flags of the Slaves of the Great Ming Tribulation (20)

Li Chunyang, deputy general of the Pou Slave Army, successfully attacked the wealth carriage of the Shanxi merchants at night. However, after hearing the scouts of the Inlave Red Flag, the cunning Golden Hair took three followers to run to the southeast mountain without any warning. The eight Shanxi merchants still remembered the tragic disaster of the Tianqinian Jingxing in the Tianqinian, and they did not want such disasters to happen to them. Huang Jinhai knew that the Pou Slave Army was planning and then acted. He recognized the strong combat power of the Inlave Red Flag soldiers. In the Ming Dynasty, everyone knew a simple truth, that is, the Jiannu Tartars were stronger than the Ming Dynasty's official army, but they had a dog that was beaten to death many times in front of the Pou Slave Army outside the pass.

Huang Binhai did not naively think that the warriors in the Enneagram could defeat the Ponu Army, and choosing to escape as soon as possible was his instinct to survive. Another very important reason for Huang Binhai to choose to escape was that among the two Niuluezhen in the guard caravan, there was a Beizi Yeqikun Yierha with a deep background. He was the youngest grandson of Heshuo Beilebayala. He was the youngest grandson of Heshuo Beilebayala when he was alive. When Heshuo Beilebayala was alive, he was polite to promote the Red Flag of Belebayala. Last time, Yue Tuo led his army to attack Ponu City from Qingsongling Mountain Road and was blocked from Zhenhu Fort. After several battles, the generals still did not break through the Zhenhu Fort defended by Wang Hua. Just when Yue Tuo was in a dilemma, Heshuo Beilebayala came to the battlefield, not only helped Yue Tuo bear the blame for the failure to attack Zhenhu Fort, but also defended Yue Tuo from the court to avoid being criticized by other Beiles and preserved Yue Tuo's position as the Red Flag Fort.

At this point, Beile Yuetuo of the Enneagram was grateful to Bayala, who was only fifteen years old. He was the same generation as Yuetuo, and Beile Yuetuo of the Enneagram was very caring for his cousin. The Qing Dynasty attached the most importance to military merits. Although He Qikun Yierha was Bayala's favorite grandson during his lifetime, Bayala's title was inherited by his uncle, and He Qikun Yierha had only gained the title of Beizi who could make a living. Yuetuo was grateful to Bayala's kindness and recruited He Qikun Yierha to earn military merits in his command to make progress in the future. With Beile Yuetuo's care, He Qikun Yierha was a lying in the Enneagram to wait for his achievements to make a future.

Everything has its pros and cons. It is safe to follow Beile Yuetuo, but the military achievements are not as conspicuous as the soldiers of the Inlaid Red Flag who fought on the front line. He Qikun Yierha looked at the Inlaid Red Flag Army easily defeating the Ming Dynasty official army. Other officers not only robbed the wealth and goods they had collected, but also captured many beautiful young Ming women. This time, this time he escorted Shanxi merchants' wealth and goods, He Qikun Yierha couldn't help but find Beile Yuetuo to obtain military achievements. Yuetuo certainly understood his cousin's little thoughts. It is said that there were tens of thousands of people fleeing to the Ming Dynasty on the official road in Yizhou. He Qikun Yierha wanted to use this to rob these fat sheep who had no resistance.

In addition, there was a Liang family's Fujin merchant caravan in front of the Golden Hair Caravan, even if there was any danger, He Qikun Yierha could still escape smoothly. So, the Golden Hair Caravan had three hundred cavalry guards guards, and Yue Tuo planned to report military achievements to his cousin after He Qikun Yierha returned and robbed. When he set out from the Battle of the Red Flag Camp, he had no sense of trust in He Qikun Yierha. The Jurchen cavalry all looked fierce, but He Qikun Yierha was a very alternative young man among the Jurchens. He didn't feel safe no matter how he looked at him. However, behind He Qikun Yierha stood the great god, Beile Yue Tuo, Yue Tuo, who dared to ask Yue Tuo to change the guard leader.

The golden hair was the first to escape. He hid in the dark and saw He Qikunyierha surrender, and also saw the whole process of the sixty remaining soldiers of the Inlaid Red Flag surrender. In the battle, he was able to capture so many Jurchen prisoners, and this lucky military merit made Li Chunyang and Yang Tianhe happy. Fortunately, they quickly woke up from their happiness. Instead of killing the Ming army prisoners who escaped, they drove the Ming army and the coachman to drive the goods to Bailonggou. The golden hair who escaped from the battlefield ran eastward. He never expected to meet the Jurchen Red Flag on his way home. He reported the news that He Qikunyierha was captured by the Possess Army to Beile Yuetuo.

When Yue Tuo heard that He Qikun Yierha was captured by the Po Nu Army, he was furious. Huang Jinfa did not die at the hands of the Po Nu Army and almost died under the sword of Beile Yue Tuo. Especially when Yue Tuo heard that the number of soldiers in the Po Nu Army was only hundreds, he roughly guessed that the only thing that could be robbed was the small army of the Po Nu Army. Although Beile Yue Tuo almost killed Huang Jinfa in his rage, he did not lose the calm that he should have when leading the troops. Soon, Yue Tuo, who had completely calmed down, began to order that the two of them, the Inlaid Red Flag Meleezhen Zhuer Ganga led two thousand Inlaid Red Flag cavalry to the west to find the whereabouts of He Qikun Yierha. Yue Tuo knew that the Po Nu Army hated the Jurchens. He speculated that according to the previous methods of dealing with prisoners of war in the Po Nu Army, He Qikun Yierha was likely to be executed by the Po Nu Army to calculate military merits. Yue Tuo sent the army to find He Qikun Yierha's body just to retrieve He Qikun Yierha's body.

Zhuer Ganga led two thousand cavalry to the ambushed place of Heqikunyierha. He saw about 200 headless corpses. Zhuer Ganga checked the palms of these corpses. From the thick calluses on the index finger and middle finger of the right hand of the corpse, he quickly confirmed that this was the corpse of the warriors inlaid with red flags. Because the Ming army used bows and arrows far less than the Jurchens used bows and arrows more often than they used bows and arrows since childhood, he could only use these two fingers to pull the bowstrings from a young age. However, Zhuer Ganga searched for ten miles and grabbed many Ming people hiding in the dark, and got news that surprised Zhuer Ganga. The Possess Army did capture Heqikunyierha.

While reporting this news to Beile Yuetuo, Zhuer Ganga followed the foothold of the Pou Slave Army after plundering the wealth and goods. In fact, it is not difficult for Zhuer Ganga to track down the foothold of the Pou Slave Army. It is absolutely not possible to transport so much gold, silver and goods to be transported in a short time. Moreover, the latter batch of the Pou Slave Army was transported to Bailonggou by box trucks. Due to the urgent time, the Bou Slave Army did not even destroy the box trucks, and only took the pack horses away as a means of transportation. A large number of pack horses would leave horse hoof marks on any mountain road and could not hide their whereabouts. Tracking horse hoof marks is the strength of the Jurchens. In addition, Shenma Fort is only ten miles away from the official road, Zhuer Ganga could almost certain that the place where the Pou Slave Army was stationed in Shenma Fort. Moreover, He Qikunyierha must not have died after being arrested by the Pou Slave Army. Zhuer Ganga's basis is that he did not see the bodies of He Qikunyierha and more than 60 captured Red Flag Warriors.

Although Zhuer Ganga judged that there were hundreds of people in the Ponu Army, he still did not dare to directly attack the Ponu Army's foothold Shenma Fort. Zhuer Ganga also fought with the Ponu Army on the battlefield many times and wanted to use the little force in his hand to break the slave army. Zhuer Ganga was really not sure. Sure enough, two days later, Yue Tuo sent three thousand cavalrymen in the Envelope Red Flag to support Zhuer Ganga. The five thousand army of the Invelope Red Flag with strengthened troops. After encircling and suppressing the 6,000 people in the mountains, he drove away these unarmed Ming people to press down on Shenma Fort. It was because Beizi Heqikunyierha was too sensitive to the identity of the Invelope Red Flag, and they planned to no longer care about the Ponu Army's revenge. They wanted to use the people as shields to take down the Shenma Fort as soon as possible.

Perhaps Meerezhen Zhuer Ganga felt that the firepower of the six thousand Ming people was still weak in the use of the Possess Army in Shenma Fort, he ordered more than a thousand cavalry to hike in the mountains to capture the fugitives. Soon, the official road leading to the Shili Mountain Road of Shenma Fort was filled with people crying. When Zhuer Ganga brought the cavalry to the mountain village, he couldn't help but take a breath. From a distance, Shenma Fort located on the hillside of Taohua Ridge appeared and disappeared among the trees. There were five 2-meter-high earth enemy towers at the corner of the curved mountain path. With these enemy towers alone, Zhuer Ganga had a premonition that it was not easy to take down Shenma Fort.

Then Zhuer Ganga led 300 cavalry to the foot of Taohualing Mountain. A small head of Jingguan predicted the cruelty of the Pou Nu Army to treat the enemy. Zhuer Ganga went to Jingguan to look carefully. These heads were all from the Ming Dynasty. He speculated that it was very likely that Fenzhou and Zijing Guan Mingjun, who were escorting wealth for Shanxi merchants. Zhuer Ganga did not find the Jurchen heads among the Jingguan people. He guessed that the Pou Nu Army would take the Jurchen heads back to seek credit. After reading Jingguan, Zhuer Ganga found a friend from the Shanxi merchants who were dressed up as a fugitive, and asked this guy named Che Erhu to go up and negotiate terms with the Pou Nu Army to see if there was a chance to redeem Heqikunyierha with gold and silver. After all, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Bonus Army's fox wolf, likes to do kidnap transactions. It is much more cost-effective to be able to solve problems with silver than to attack the fortress with the lives of the Red Flag Warriors.

Li Chunyang, deputy general of the Po Slave Army, had just shipped the last batch of wealth and freight back, and the scout cavalry in the Inlaid Red Flag appeared on the Taohualing Mountain Road. The Po Slave Army, who was responsible for observing the enemy situation, reported the situation to Li Chunyang in a timely manner. Before he had time to take a breath, the Po Slave Army quickly ran to the wall of the village with weapons and brought the General Staff Yang Tianhe to the courtyard. Yang Tianhe moved the most valuable gold and jewelry into the courtyard, cleared the attack passage in the outer courtyard, and transported the ammunition and crossbows in the warehouse to the three enemy downstairs behind the wall of the village. It was too late to calculate the amount of silver. Dozens of Po Slave Army took off their armor and piled up silver in the room in winter.

Three feet away from the village wall, there are two enemy towers half a meter taller than the village wall. Six crossbows on the enemy tower have been hung with bowstrings, and the defense is 5 kilograms. Several deputy gunners down the enemy tower have moved the boxes into the enemy tower. Hundreds of Pozi Army soldiers on the village wall also brought the * they brought to the wall, and dozens of boxes of musket ammunition boxes were placed in storage boxes made of bricks and stones on the inside of the village wall. Two hundred Pozi Army soldiers in black armor rushed out of the Shenma Fort, and they carried the ammunition boxes to run towards the enemy tower down the mountain. The Pozi Army was seen by Zhuer Ganga, the inlaid red flag, and he regretted his mistake in judgment at this time, but Zhuer Ganga still sent Che Erhu up the mountain to discuss with the Pozi Army.
