Chapter 100: A Small Victory for the Captive Army

The seventh year of Hongde, April 14th.

The Great Zhou army marched north of Changchun and on the Songhua River.

In the army camp, the stretching tents seemed to be from the sky, and there was no limit at a glance.

In the central army tent in the center of the camp, Qi Duke Qiu Lu summoned all the generals to advance to the tent to discuss matters.

After a while, with the sound of the friction between the armor, the four Wuhou, Wang Ming, the Marquis of Wucheng, Huo Yu, the Marquis of Tong'an, Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, Li Yuan, and many generals led the army came in from outside the account.

Everyone arrived.

Qiu Lu said, "Dear soldiers, Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu Three Guards treason. The emperor ordered us to go north to attack the enemy. Now the army is only two days away from Duoyan Three Guards. The battle is imminent. I hope all the soldiers will train hard and fight for their lives! I will definitely ask for rewards!"

Everyone bowed and clasped their fists and said, "Abide by the orders of the general of the general!"

…………

The next day, the camp was drawn, and Qiu Lu and the Wuhou led the cavalry to go first.

It seemed intentional or unintentional that the three battalions of Qiu Lu General Jia Jing, Guoyong and Danyong were left at the end of the army.

Li Yuan, the Marquis of Anping, couldn't help but wonder: "General, I saw that the soldiers of the third battalion of Zhenwei, Guoyong and Danyong were all elite soldiers. Why should they keep them in the rear and carry food and grass?"

Wang Ming, the Marquis of Wucheng, hurriedly gave Li Yuan a wink and asked him not to say more.

At the same time, he smiled and said, "The army is one, and the front and back are extremely important! How about the word "remain"? Besides, the general has always attached importance to food, grass and supplies when fighting. The third battalion has some combat power, so can it be safe to defend the rear?"

When Qiu Lu heard this, he smiled and said, "The Marquis of Wucheng knows my heart!"

...

Because of his relationship with Anping Hou,

Afterwards, Wang Ming, the Marquis of Wucheng, found a gap, and asked Li Yuan, the Marquis of Anping, and asked: "The army has been leaving for more than a month. How can you still say those inappropriate words today?"

Li Yuan was stunned, "Is there something wrong with me? Marquis of Wucheng hopes to tell me!"

After looking around, Wang Ming pointed out: "The third camp was originally the soldiers of Zhaowu Hou. The emperor ordered him to be temporarily handed over to the Duke of Qi for his account.

But it is said that later, there was a message saying that the troops of Zhaowu Hou's third camp were far stronger than the soldiers under Duke Qi's command, and even demoted Duke Qi's Duke was worthless.

This Duke Qi was not a generous person, but in this way, he couldn't help but hold a grudge against the Lord Zhaowu and the troops of the three camps!"

When Anping Hou Li Yuan heard this, he was shocked.

"Marching and fighting are not a joke? How can we just act from the heart like this?!"

Wang Ming was startled by it and hurriedly said, "Marquis Anping bans the sound! Don't make a sound!"

Immediately, Li Yuan finally realized that he was a little too much, so he hurriedly apologized to Wang Ming.

…………

But it was said that the enemy army was in the process of the journey, and the spy in front suddenly came to report.

"Report! Report to the General, twenty miles ahead of him, and the traces of Tatars were found!"

All the generals were instantly excited. They thought they would not meet the enemy until the siege, but they did not expect to meet them so soon.

Qiu Lu hurriedly asked, "How many people are there in the enemy?"

"Return to the general, we look out from a distance. There should be about 4,000 enemy troops!!"

Just four thousand men?

Qiu Lu looked around the generals, and everyone's eyes lit up when they looked at each other.

At this time, the army approached, and the four thousand men were no longer the enemy. It was a tempting military merit in the military merit book!

"General, the last general asks for battle!"

Tong'an Hou Huoyu was one step ahead and took the lead in asking for his orders.

Looking at Huo Yu's smug big round face, everyone glared at him!

Qiu Lu laughed and said, "Since Tong'an Hou is so anxious, I'll leave this first battle to you!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

...

Huo Yu drove his horse back to the place where his troops were under his command, shouting: "Cabinets go out, Quan brave teams go out, and fight with me!"

With a command, more than 5,000 cavalry rushed forward and followed Huo Yu.

The cavalry led all the smoke and dust to look north!

Seeing Huo Yu lead his troops away, the remaining generals couldn't help but say, "This time it's a bargain for Huo Yu!"

Qiu Lu smiled and said: Don’t be upset, the day of the war is still coming!"

...

Na Huo Yu led a group of cavalry to head straight to the northern river bank.

Not long after I went, I saw the Tatar camp in the distance.

At this time, the Tatar camp was in a mess because of the sound of horse hooves.

"The Quan Yong team was in charge, and the other soldiers were divided into two teams, shooting from the east and west sides of the enemy, first firing arrows and then sharp arrows, completely suppressing the enemy!"

With a command, the five thousand cavalry were divided into three teams in an instant.

In the Tatar camp, the leader shouted loudly and ordered the infantry to find cover, and the cavalry went to block the enemy.

As soon as he finished speaking, a "whisper" sound of arrows breaking through the air came to his ears.

On the east and west sides of the Tatar Camp, arrows burning with orange flames fell like rain.

Every time a fire arrow fell on the tent, a bright ball of fire suddenly ignited...

Rolling smoke rose into the sky.

Huo Yu led the cavalry and just shot back and forth to harass him, but did not fight head-on with the Tatars.

With intentional calculations and no intentions, the cavalry of the Great Zhou blocked the two ends of the Tatar camp at the beginning, which made the Tatars' even-out-of-battle hope.

The defeat of the Tatar army is a foregone conclusion!

Round after round of arrows fell like rain, almost washing both sides of the camp.

For a moment, the Tatar camp fell into a complete collapse.

Huo Yu saw that the Tatar camp was already in chaos.

He couldn't help but chuckled, "What you are waiting for is your collapse and chaos!"

After saying that, after ordering the cavalry to release two more rounds of arrows, Huo Yu's big hand suddenly waved.

"Quan Yong, charge!"

Behind him, the four-storm valiant teams fired horses and launched a charge towards the Tatar camp outside the land with one arrow.

"Kill!"

As the flags were waving, the cavalrymen raised their swords and rushed past the defeated Tatar camp.

...

In the distance, Qiu Lu still led the army forward. Seeing the thick smoke rising from the sky in front of him, he couldn't help but smile: "It seems that our Tong'an Hou has fought with the Tatars! Let's go over quickly and put a formation for Tong'an Hou!"

As he said that, he turned around and ordered the messenger beside him: "Notify and the army speed up!"

……………………

Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

There was laughter and joy at this moment.

The cause of the incident was that when Xue Pan heard Aunt Xue's words, he was also thinking about his love for Jia Jing. After asking Jia Jing's opinion, he made an appointment and invited Jia Lian and Baoyu to accompany him, and specially invited Jia Jing to have a banquet at home.

Because Lin Daiyu had agreed to the Xue family's banquet early, Jia Jing returned home in advance on this day.

After changing into regular clothes, he went to Lixiangyuan with Lin Daiyu to have a banquet.

As soon as he arrived at Lixiangyuan, Xue Baochai brought his maid to invite Lin Daiyu to chat in her room.

Jia Jing let Xue Baochai pull Lin Daiyu over and whisper, but she went straight to the main hall and set up a drink with Xue Pan and others.

As soon as Jia Jing arrived, Xue Pan hurriedly called the maids to serve the food.

After a while, the dishes were complete.

Xue Pan first got up and poured wine for Jia Jing and the others one by one. In the room, Aunt Xue also came out to thank Jia Jing. In this way, the banquet really began.

Because the table was full of his brothers or relatives, the few people were talking and talking a lot, and after a few glasses of wine, Xue Pan pulled Jia Baoyu to talk about the incident of encountering bandits in Ping'anzhou a few days ago.

Jia Baoyu was exclaiming in surprise.

There was a table of banquets, and the dishes and wine were served again and again, until the moon was on the branches, and everyone just finished.
