Chapter 44: Brothers and feet are tragic (3)

Zhu Di stood on the ruined city, with a blue face and patrolling back and forth. He wanted to see who was here for two days and let him leave more than a thousand of the bravest soldiers behind.

Jizhou Town finally fell two days after it was attacked, but it was said that it was falling was actually without any danger. The next night, Zhu Di ordered the fire to attack, and three thousand archers shot rockets into the small city. The fire burned all night. When the sun shone on the Lihe Valley in the morning, the small city that had fought a hundred times more than it was finally silent.

There was no sign of life on the top of the city, only a scent of smoke slowly rose.

Yan soldiers approached the already burnt city gate through their dead companions. The bodies became hideous and terrifying because they approached the small town that had been burning for a night. When the veterans of war walked through the Shura Hell at the gate, many people actually vomited all over the ground.

The city was empty, with ruins everywhere, and wood burned into coke everywhere. But the Liaodong army was gone, and there was not even a single body.

Zhu Di pointed to the small town and vented his anger: "Where are people? Are you all fighting ghosts? More than a thousand lives were taken away by ghosts? Two days, this broken place hindered the army for two days! What are you doing? Two guards took turns to attack the small pass guards that were guarded by 500 people, and so many people died. The Yan army's reputation of winning every battle was lost to you!" Tan Yuan and Zheng Heng knelt on the ground motionless, allowing Zhu Di's horse whip to whip.

Tan Yuan's guards fought for a day but couldn't take them down, so he changed to Zheng Heng's Miyun guards, but he fought for another day.

Zhu Di was tired of fighting, so he sat on the city wall panting and looked at the small town that had been burned to white land in disgust. He said fiercely: "Retreat, withdraw your troops, and go back to Zunhua to camp."

Zhu Neng said: "Your Highness, you spent such a great price to seize Yamaguchi and were about to march while you were fighting for the victory. Why should you withdraw?"

Zhu Di said: "It's too late, our plan for a surprise attack has failed. I can know without sending scouts. Maybe the Liaodong Army is ambushing the next valley, maybe one guard has arrived, or two guards.

Let's go, Lao Shiwu will definitely go down the mountain to find us."

...

Walking into the mountains from Jizhou Town, less than five miles away is called Taohuaao. The mountains here suddenly became clear, the Li River became much smoother, and the mountain roads by the river became much wider.

A pair of sharp eyes stared at the corner of the mountain road like a hawk. Katun led 30,000 guards and 1,000 lancers to ambush the mountain.

The choice of this place as the ambush site was carefully planned. Only fools would ambush in dangerous places in the mountains and wait for others to carefully see through them.

The mountains here are flat. The army that has just walked through the rugged mountain road of five miles will relax its vigilance due to the terrain and river water. It is even possible that war horses can even drink horses in the river; in addition, the gentle mountains are conducive to the impact of cavalry.

Katun's wishful thinking was that when the Yan army entered Taohuaao, he would roar guns and arrows to serve. Before they could react, he led his army to dive down and drove the Yan army into the river and killed them all.

My sister Nima was lying not far from him. She hadn't woken up for a whole morning. When the personal guard tried hard to lift Nima out of the small town, four hundred scouts were buried here forever.

More than 300 people in the remaining area immediately retreated with two corpses. At the Jurchens, the corpses must be buried in peace. But Damn was smoked for too long and he remained unconscious.

After waiting for a morning, Katun gradually relaxed his vigilance. The scouts placed in front of him only reported safety every half hour. Just when he wanted to go back to see his sister, his subordinates reported that he woke up.

Katun hurried to his sister's side, and saw that her sister's face, which was blackened by gunpowder, had two smart big eyes that were still familiar to her.

Nima glanced around and suddenly struggled to get up: "Brother, where am I? Is it lost in Jizhou Town?"

Katun quickly pressed her to the ground and said softly: "Good girl, you are injured and still very serious, don't move around."

Damn, he ignored it and just kept saying: "Where is Jizhou Town? Is it lost?" Katun nodded helplessly.

Damn, he stood up and said, "No, I have to take it back!"

Katun pressed her desperately: "Good girl, don't worry, you and your warriors have tried their best. There is brother here. Don't worry."

Damn, he must get up with his neck: "No, I must go. Four hundred brothers are all left there, I can't leave them alone. Don't stop me!"

Damn it was like a female wolf protecting a calf, roaring almost madly, Katun hugged her tightly.

When he saw that he couldn't move, he finally burst into tears: "Brother, four hundred brothers, all of us, Batulu, the bravest Batulu, wuwu... they were all thrown here, wuwu... How could I go to see their parents, wives and children? Brother, please let me go, wuwu... What's the point of living?

”

Katun also cried in tears, hugged his sister crying, and his heart was like a knife: "Girl, my good girl, you have not defeated me. You blocked Yan Ni with hundreds of people and tens of thousands of troops. For two days, you were all Batulu.

I will go to the King of Liao to ask for merit for you. You will definitely win the honorary title. Just call me, the Hu Ben Scout Qianhu, Jizhou Town, what a loud name..." The personal guards around were moved, and many great men also secretly wiped away the hero's tears.

When the sun set, the 30,000 guards did not wait for the Yan army, Katun carefully sent scouts to the front. When the scouts arrived in Ji Town, they suddenly found that there were no soldiers or soldiers around them.

The next day, the scouts continued to advance until they left the mountain pass before they exchanged fire with the scouts in Yan's army.

The scout was about to return, and Katun took the troops in disappointment and sent a hundred households back to Jizhou Town to find out if there were any bodies of the Jurchen brothers who were missing on the battlefield, and then tied the brigade's camp in Taohuaao.

Nima was determined not to retreat, so Katun had no choice but to take her and the remaining soldiers from the scouts. Although she woke up, Nima still often wiped her tears secretly by herself.

Katun learned from other survivors how tragic the battle in Jizhou Town was. He felt even more sorry for his sister. He ran to the mountain to shoot wild game to nourish the girl.

Thirty thousand guards were stationed for two days, and finally waited for the second team of Lalu Guards and Dingliao Right Guards to come. Ni Lei and Zhang Lun learned about the battle situation that day and respected Qianhu, the Jurchen scout.

The three guards were squeezed into the mountains and could not be expanded. The three of them had a total of 20,000 elite soldiers. I was afraid that where did he come from, so I went down to fight. So I used 30,000 guards as the vanguard, Ding Liao Right Guard, and Lalu Guard followed, and the three troops went down the mountain at night.

In that era, night battles were usually not a choice for the generals, so at night, both sides would return to the camp to sleep tacitly.

Unfortunately, this was just the way of combat before the Ming Dynasty. When all Liaodong garrisons spent at least fifty days a year during night battle training, the Liaodong army began to rule the night.

Twenty miles from Jizhou Town to Zunhua, half of which were mountain roads. One man and two horses set off at the end of You. Two hours later, the army reached the periphery of Zunhua. The army hid in a wood. Katun sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance and soon discovered the Yan army camp that was stuck outside the city.

Find a good location, 30,000 guards walked forward with their horses, and then they reached two miles away from the camp before quietly getting on the horse.

When it was just now (1:00 to 3:00 a.m.), 30,000 guards were launched. Katun clamored to avenge the scout guards and led a thousand households to raid the military camp outside the northern city.

It deserves the bad luck of the Yan army, and Katun is extremely lucky. Zhu Di sent two scout cordons outside the mountain pass.

But at night, the scouts also took a nap, and it happened that day that the scouts who were responsible for defending the forest collectively ate the wrong thing and sucked their stomachs for a day. At night, no one had the strength to get up, and they could only be beaten by the Liaodong scouts.

By the time the Liaodong Army approached the camp, the scouts on the inside had no time to react. Although they barely issued a warning, the Liaodong Army had already reached the edge of the village like a whirlwind.

Twenty horses pulled the hook and pulled the fence open, and the Jurchens rushed into the Yan army camp with a strange beast-like scream.

The Jurchens held a saber in one hand and a torch in the Yan army camp to prevent fire.

Katun roared like a madman: "Burn, burn them to death, and avenge the brothers in Jizhou Town; kill them, let them know the power of 30,000 Wei, and then they tremble when they hear the name of 30,000 Wei. Kill!"

Katun broke into the local camp and happened to be the base of the Fuyu Guards of the three guards of Duoyan. Although these Mongolians fought bravely, their discipline was very poor. Although Zhu Di routinely reminded the battalions to guard against night attacks, he never expected that there was no movement at sunset. The Liaodong Army actually came to the front of him in half an evening from the mountains.

Many Mongolians were burned to ashes in their sleep. Even if some people left the camp with bare shirtless, they were chopped over by the shiny sabers of the Jurchens.

Katun led a hundred cavalry guards and rushed straight toward the central army's tent, and the torch in his hand ignited the felt tent along the way.

Still a distance from the central army tent, Katun saw several shirtless Mongolians riding horses trying to escape. He waved his long sword and met him.

The commander of Fuyuwei was the Mongol Minmin Temuer. He put on the knife edge of Katun in a daze. In just one round, Temuer returned to the embrace of Changshengtian.

Katun saw that the entire camp had burned, and almost every horse under his subordinate had two heads hanging around his neck, so he reluctantly came out of the gap and disappeared into the boundless night.

At this moment, the reinforcements of Yan army hurried to the Fuyu Guard's camp, and the remaining work was to collect the body of the Mongols.
