Chapter 412 Flower
"The Kharchin tribe originally lived in the northern desert and once produced the powerful minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Master Bolai. After Bolai's death, the Kharchin tribe came under the command of Wala Noyan Yibula and was organized into one of the ten battalions of Yongxiebu Wanhu among the 30,000 households on the right wing, and moved from the northern desert to Ordos to live in the area of grazing."
"In the fifth year of Zhengde, Tumengke defeated Yibula, and the Yongxiebu Wanhu was disintegrated, leaving behind the Kharachin, Asute, and Yongxiebu tribes. They formed a new Kharachin Wanhu, replacing the former Yongxiebu Wanhu, and were led by Tumengke's grandson Kunduliha."
Noyan is what Mongolians call a king.
Yang Tinghe stood in front of the map and told everyone the history of Kharchin. He did not give up persuading Emperor Zhengde to return to Beijing, nor did he try his best to stop the war.
As the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, he knew better than anyone that if the higher-ups in the capital eliminated this major threat, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for the entire court.
In this way, not only can the defense pressure of the capital be alleviated, but also the connection with the Kanto region can be increased, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
“The grandson of Tumengke?” Emperor Zhengde looked a little hesitant. He always thought that Batumengke was about the same age as him, but it turned out that he even had a grandson?
Ou Zanghua stepped forward to explain: "Your Majesty, Tu Mengke's grandson Kunduliha is only five years old, so Tu Mengke's order has more symbolic significance than its actual execution significance."
"I see." Emperor Zhengde nodded and said with some regret: "It seems that Kunduliha is not in the Kharachin tribe. What a pity. We haven't found their main force yet."
When everyone heard the emperor say this, they felt helpless. Everyone knew that it would be great if they could cripple Duoyanwei and Kalaqin before Tumengke arrived.
At the same time, outside the city of Funing in Yongping Prefecture, 140 miles away from Panjiakou, the leader of the Duoyan Guard, Hua Dang, finally received the news that his second son had wiped out all his descendants?!
"This is impossible! My son is so brave that he can't match ten thousand men. How could he be completely wiped out?!"
Hua Dang pointed at the soldiers of the Duoyan Guard who were kneeling in the big tent and said coldly, "You must be a spy sent by the Ming Kingdom. You said such nonsense just to shake the morale of my army."
"Please look carefully, leader! Everything I said is true." There was still a trace of fear in the eyes of the Doyanwei soldier, and it was obvious that he was frightened on the battlefield.
"Then tell me, who is the leader of the Ming army?"
"Marquis Xianning Qiu Yue!"
"Who is the Vanguard General?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment before he said, "We have never seen that man. We only heard his subordinates call him General Zuo."
"Qiu Yue." Hua Dang narrowed his eyes. He was not unfamiliar with the name, but he had never heard of the Left General.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look towards the distant Funing City. The defender there was named Gui Yong, also a person whose name he had never heard of.
As a result, his army was blocked by such an unknown little man, and even a whole day's fierce attack was unable to break that man's defense.
He sighed deeply, and thought to himself: "These Han people really should not be underestimated. Even Changshengtian can't predict where a brave and fearless person will suddenly appear from..."
But Hua Dang quickly adjusted his mindset and gave an indifferent order: "Let the Tanma Chijun investigate in the direction of Panjiakou."
"Yes!"
However, before Hua Dang's scouts and the Red Army could set off, the Night Troops of the Beijing Camp had already reached the outskirts of Funing City.
Deng Baguo and Zhang Jingchao, leading 18 riders, originally intended to enter the city to replenish some supplies. However, when they were still 20 or 30 miles away from the town, they unexpectedly met the returning scouts of the Doyan Guard, the Red Army.
When both parties suddenly noticed each other, they were stunned involuntarily.
Immediately afterwards, Tanma Chijun drew his bows and arrows without hesitation, and arrows poured out like raindrops.
Several cavalrymen were unable to dodge and fell off their horses after being shot.
"Brother Deng!"
Zhang Jingchao shouted, leaped into the air, waved his sword, and knocked down the arrows shot at Deng Bagong. Deng Bagong understood, he took a deep breath, his internal strength surged, and suddenly pulled the iron bow.
Although his archery skills were not outstanding in shooting people, they were more than enough to deal with horses.
There was a dull and powerful sound of a bow string, and an arrow shot out like an arrow, as fast as lightning, and instantly pierced the mount of the leader of the Tanma Red Army.
The rest of the soldiers followed suit and attacked the horses in counterattack.
The leader of the Tanma Red Army rolled up from his fallen mount, and seeing his beloved horse lying on the ground neighing in pain, a surge of blood rushed to his forehead. He suddenly drew out his long sword, his eyes wide open in anger, and pounced straight at Deng Bagong.
Seeing this, Zhang Jingchao curled up a sneer, gripped his sword tightly, and went forward without hesitation.
The two men approached each other in a flash, and swung their swords down almost at the same time, causing sparks to fly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Jingchao quickly changed his moves, counter-slashing sword, diagonal sword, downward sweeping sword, diagonal sword, and horizontal sweeping sword, five moves in a row, fast and fierce, the sword light swept away like a tornado.
The leader of the Tanma Red Army was sobered up by this series of attacks. He originally wanted to kill Ye Bushou in one go, but he didn't expect that the other party would start with unreasonable slashing and cracking, fiercely exploding, and fighting while advancing, which put him at a disadvantage.
Just as he was trying to adjust his tactics and find an opportunity to counterattack, Zhang Jingchao suddenly used a move to hook his sword back and cleverly removed the long sword from his hand. Then, Zhang Jingchao turned his wrist flexibly, and the sword body, like a spirit snake coming out of a hole, gently hit his temple.
The leader of the Tanma Red Army felt his mind go fuzzy for a moment and then he fell to the ground.
On the other side, Deng Baguo was alone facing four Red Army scouts. When the opponents rode up on horseback, the distance was quickly shortened and Deng Baguo had lost the space to charge.
So, he simply used his inner strength to fly into the air, and with a move of Wild Horse's Hoof, he kicked a scout from his horse. Then, with a move of Two Horses Splitting Their Manes, he kicked the next two scouts off their horse.
Faced with the fierce attack of the fourth person, Deng Bagong had to use the monkey jumping technique, leaping lightly and cleverly avoiding the opponent's attack.
When he landed, Deng Bagong did not stop moving and rolled over to avoid the attack from another enemy.
Then he stood still, unsheathed his sword, with a flash of cold light, he was the first to arrive and used the Songshan sword technique - Green and Floating. The sword blade was like spring water breaking through ice, and he killed the enemy cleanly and neatly.
Seeing this, the other three did not choose to escape, but instead endured their injuries and planned to besiege Deng Bagong.
"What a bunch of real men!" As soon as Deng Bagong finished speaking, he used the stick technique of Po Yun Kai Tian with his long sword to shake off the weapons of the three people. Then he used the move of Turning Back to Look at the Moon and stabbed one of them to death. Then he turned around, with a flash of cold light, and used the move of Yu Jin Tian Chi to kill the remaining two people at the same time.
The rest of the soldiers cooperated well and killed all the other Tanma Chijun soldiers.
As a result, out of the thirteen elite members of the Duoyan Guard, only the leader was still alive.
Zhang Jingchao tied the man up with a rope and handed him over to his deputy general. He solemnly instructed, "Immediately escort this man back to Panjiakou and interrogate him strictly to find out his true intentions!"
"As ordered!"
The deputy general answered loudly, and then asked with concern: "So, General, what are your plans next?"
Zhang Jingchao looked at Deng Bagong, and they smiled in tacit understanding. He replied, "We will stay here for now and explore further."
"Generals, please be careful!" After hearing this, the deputy general did not dissuade them, but bowed.
After the two brothers returned the gift, the deputy general returned to Panjiakou with the captives and the wounded.
