Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Confrontation

Daishan, who was on a mission for the first time, was in a state of extreme excitement before he set off. Along the way, he walked side by side with Chu Ying, but the brilliance in his eyes was several times that of Chu Ying; Curious, no matter what, I have to ask Chu Ying again and again; fortunately, the two are brothers from the same mother, and Chu Ying is not much older than him, so he didn't feel bored with him, and explained to him in detail along the way. However, Shu Erhaqi, who was an uncle, was extremely impatient with the childishness of the two brothers. When camping on the first night, Shuerhaqi called the two of them over, and explained in command sentences: "You two, you two, you have been talking about it all the way, and you have no sense of decency—we will be on the road tomorrow. When the time comes, simply don’t walk together; one will go ahead with me, and the other will go to the back of the line!”

And how could these two brothers listen to his words? As soon as Shuerhaqi turned his head and walked away, Daishan stuck out his tongue and said with a smile on his face, "It's strange! Does he have good ears? We're a long way from him, and he still hears us?" After all, Chu Ying was a few years older and knew more about the world, so she explained the situation to him: "People around us told him—he sent someone to keep an eye on us!" Dai Shan was surprised: "Does he think we are children and afraid of getting lost?" Chu Ying had no way to answer this question, so she had to say casually: "Let him think what he wants!"

Daishan then asked: "But, he said so--we will be on the road tomorrow, how should we go?" Chu Ying shrugged and said, "It's up to him to say it, let him say it—" Daishan got inspiration from his words, clapped his hands, cheered and said, "Yes! Father Khan told us to go with him, but he didn't say that we have to obey him in everything!" As a result, the two brothers ignored Shuerhaqi's words even more; when they went on the road the next day, the two remained the same; they only maintained a basic courtesy to Shuerhaqi on the surface, and did not contradict or refute in person; When Shuerhaqi said some explanations, instructions, or even orders, the two brothers only laughed for a while before perfunctory.

And such an almost childish behavior, for the two brothers who are only in their twenties, is actually something that they are secretly proud of - the two brothers always snicker behind their backs and say, "Look at what he got?" The two of them certainly didn't expect that, Shuerhaqi was already so angry that he hated him secretly, and he was gritting his teeth and cursing secretly at any time: "Two young brats, they really don't know how to live or die!" However, a new conflict came again. When the team was about to arrive at Feiyou City, they set up camp at night. It happened that the weather was gloomy, with heavy snowfall, but the moon was blocked by dark clouds, and the sky was pitch black with no light at all.

However, just as the group of people were about to go to bed, several sergeants on night watch came in quickly and reported: "There is a circle of red light on our army's banner—I don't know what it is coming from!" This statement certainly attracted all the people to come out of the tent to look curiously. They saw that there was indeed a light on the banner, but no one could explain what it was; for a moment, everyone was stunned. Someone in the crowd came up with an idea and invited Fei Yingdong, who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, to watch it; however, Fei Yingdong looked at it and said: "There has never been such a thing before!"

After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Lower that banner and have a look!" So, the sergeants rushed to lower the big flag, and sent it to Fei Yingdong after it was lowered. However, there was nothing on the flag—several people stretched out their hands and touched it, and spread out the flag to look at it carefully, but there was still nothing—a good-looking flag, so ordinary that there was nothing unusual about it. Fei Yingdong had no choice but to order: "Go up again!" Unexpectedly, after this rise, after hanging high in the air, a circle of red light appeared on the banner again.

Fei Yingdong stopped talking, lowered his head and fell into deep thought. But before he could figure out why, Shuerhaqi expressed his opinion loudly: "This is not a good omen—" Regardless of the impact of his own language on the morale of the army, he said carelessly: "I have traveled all over the world since I was a child, and I have seen all kinds of big and small things, but I have never seen such a strange situation-this is not true. Good, bad, big bad! The ancients said that it is not ominous to see differences while marching; this is a bad omen! Let’s stop advancing and retreat to Jianzhou!”

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became, the thicker his neck became, and the more agitated his emotions became, the more he seemed to have entered a dangerous situation and lost control as if he had to return immediately. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the young and vigorous Chu Ying could no longer hold back. He didn't even care about the basic politeness——Chu Ying looked at him with a string of righteous words in her pocket: "What's the omen? Why do you say it's a bad omen? I just say it's a good omen, a round of red light What's more, Father Khan ordered us to protect the people of the Varka tribe, and you want to return before you even reach Feiyou City——after you go back, what face do you have? How about going to see Father Khan?"

Dai Shan also rushed forward to add a sentence: "If you want to retreat, you can retreat yourself, we will not retreat-we will never go back if we have not completed the tasks assigned by father Khan!" Shuerhaqi's face was turned green and white by the two of them, and his two rows of teeth chattered with each other in anger, cursing secretly: "Okay-okay-you are called 'Father'. You're a hero, a hero', I'll let you die!" However, when he turned his head and saw Fei Yingdong's reaction, what he showed was approval, and he thought to himself that if he really returned to Jianzhou, he would be punished by Nurhachi; so he didn't say the rest of the words , simply turned around and went back to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, he didn't say anything, let the brigade march towards Feiyou City, and he rode on the horse and walked casually as he had nothing to do. However, Chu Ying and Dai Shan seemed to have won an unprecedented victory, and moved forward happily; after arriving in Feiyou City, they worked harder to help Zermuthei count the households, and set off on the road—— There are 500 households in the Warka tribe, including the old and weak, women and children, totaling more than 3,000 people. After everything is ready, it is decided that Hu Erhan will lead 300 soldiers to protect the 3,000 people. Yingdong was at the end to escort the team——Shuerhaqi, no one could restrain him, and he was the only one who could do whatever he wanted.

However, as soon as the team set off, they encountered an accident. This turn of events was unexpected not only by youngsters like Chu Ying and Dai Shan, but also by a well-informed and experienced person like Fei Yingdong—— After walking to Wujieyan near Zhongcheng by the Tumen River, Wulabei Lebu Zhantai led a crowd of ten thousand people to intercept the team on the way! The odds are so disparate! Hu Erhan led the way with only three hundred guards—he was really surprised when he heard the news that Bu Zhantai led ten thousand people to stop him. However, he was not a mediocre person in the first place, even if things were rushed and improvised, he did not mess up his senses and actions—— He quickly considered the situation in front of him, decided on a countermeasure, and made the most appropriate deployment and deployment with the only 300 troops on hand, and proceeded as quickly as possible. The first order was issued, and he asked the more than 3,000 people of the Varka tribe to form a village on the nearby mountain top, and sent out a hundred soldiers to guard them. The second order was to command the remaining 200 soldiers to form a camp on the other side of the mountain and refuse to defend. At the same time, he dispatched a fast rider to tell Chu Ying, Dai Shan, Fei Yingdong and others who were walking behind, asking them to speed up and come to help. The next morning, Buzhantai launched an offensive. There were many soldiers in Ula, so they adopted an offensive of encirclement warfare from the very beginning, but Hu Erhan's strategy was superior. Since the Jianzhou army formed a camp based on the mountain to resist, the Ula army could not encircle it comprehensively, and it would take a long time to attack from the rear after crossing the mountain. Therefore, they could only attack from the front, left and right; The state army is divided into two battalions, forming horns with each other. Either side of the attack is easily restrained, and there is no advantage; Then launched an offensive. Hu Erhan took the strategy of sticking to his guard, and he did not attack lightly until the enemy was approaching. Although the number of the Jianzhou Army is small, they are all well-trained elites, each of whom can outnumber a hundred; Yang Guli, the general under his command, is even more skilled in martial arts. With a long knife in his hand, he took ten soldiers to stand in front of the camp to pass the first pass. The Ula army rushed forward, but Yang Guli was not afraid at all. He single-handedly fought, but killed seven Ula troops in just a moment. Although there was a huge difference in the ratio between the seven people wiped out and the ten thousand enemy troops, the Wula army was overwhelmed by his personal bravery. For a while, not only no one dared to go forward to fight him, but Some people are retreating quietly, even planning to run away. Bu Zhantai urged the army to move forward again and again, but no one was willing to move forward—when he had no choice but to order to camp on the spot, he confronted and confronted the Jianzhou Army. And what happened next was even worse than what he wanted—— It was not too long before Chu Ying and Dai Shan arrived with their troops. Although the troops under the command of the two brothers are only 500 each, and the total is only 1,000, they have extremely strong combat effectiveness. A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger at all— After arriving, the two brothers immediately divided into two groups, each leading 500 men and horses from Yuanshan to fight against the Ula army; Ying and Daishan attacked the Ula army from three sides. The three groups of men and horses showed their might, but the Ula army, which had a large number of people, retreated steadily. Bu Zhantai became more and more anxious. Several times he was so impulsive that he wanted to ride his horse to the front line to charge and fight himself, but he was reluctantly stopped by several cronies. Everyone persuaded him in unison: "The morale of the enemy army is high, Baylor should not take risks lightly!" Bu Zhantai couldn't be reconciled, and he gritted his teeth with hatred: "I lost out to these two brats out of ten thousand people—it's really pissing me off!" Unexpectedly, as soon as the words were finished, there were new changes on the battlefield ahead; it turned out that Fei Yingdong also led his troops to arrive. In this way, of course, it will be even more unfavorable to the Ula Army—— Bu Zhantai's cronies immediately suggested loudly: "Baylor, you should leave here—" The situation has indeed reached the point where "going is the best policy", and it will be too late if it is too late. Bu Zhantai opened his mouth wide at first, wanting to let out some angry roar, but after opening his mouth, there was no sound, and he immediately thought of the "Battle of Gule Mountain" more than ten years ago in his heart. He was defeated and captured, and stayed in Jianzhou for many years. A chill suddenly surged from his heart - he didn't even dare to be brave in words anymore. He hastily ordered his cronies: "Ask some guards!" After all, he turned his horse's head first, and ran away like a puff of smoke. In this way, it was hard for his cronies, so they could only gather some people they could summon around him to chase after him as guards, and escape the scene as soon as possible. However, Daishan, who was rushing to kill on the battlefield, saw this team at a glance. He estimated that since the enemy army was heading in the opposite direction, of course they had "run away". He was young and energetic, and without thinking too much, he put aside his opponent who was fighting, and rushed to chase Bu Zhantai single-handedly. After a while, Kung Fu caught up. The troops guarding Buzhantai had to part out to fight, and the rest still protected Buzhantai and fled; the troops fighting Daishan quickly fought close to each other. The leader was Bokdo, who was not an ordinary person in the Ula tribe, but this time he was not Daishan's opponent at all, and he missed and was beheaded in just a few rounds. Of course, the remaining Ula soldiers fled in a crowd, and no one dared to confront Daishan anymore, but they could not escape far——Chu Ying led the Jianzhou Army to catch up at this moment, and fortunately escaped The people were all taken captive. In this battle, the Jianzhou Army certainly won a complete victory—— "Bokduo, one of the chief generals of our phalanx, and his son, were captured alive by Baylor's resident father and son, as well as Baylor Houlibu—three thousand ranks, five thousand horses, and three thousand mates—" When the statistical figures came out, Chu Ying recited them aloud in front of Nurhachi herself, with a smug look on her face at the same time. Of course, Nurhachi's face was full of joy when he heard it. He nodded frequently and said approvingly: "Very good——this time, you outnumbered the crowd and your results are very good. I will reward you for everything!" He immediately ordered that Shuerhaqi be named Darhan Batulu, Chu Ying be called Alhatu Tumen, and Daishan be called Guying Batulu. However, in the afternoon of the next day, he specially sent guards to send Fei Yingdong to come alone for questioning. Fei Yingdong had already been appointed by him as "Zarguqi", and he had always been a person he valued and trusted, so he asked without reservation: "During the Battle of Wujieyan, what happened to Shuerhaqi?" What? After all, Chu Ying and Dai Shan are young, so it is most appropriate to ask you!" Fei Yingdong was a straightforward person, so he answered him in a straightforward manner: "At that time, Hu Erhan only led 300 soldiers, Chu Ying, Daishan and I each led 500 soldiers, and the rest were led by Shu Erhaqi and Chang Huan. Shu and Naqibu led; Hu Erhan went first, the first to meet the enemy, Chu Ying and Daishan arrived later, defeated the enemy and won the victory. When I arrived at Wujieyan, the battle was almost over; Shuerhaqi, Chang Shu, and Naqibu He led his troops to sit by and watch from the foot of the mountain, and he never contributed half of his strength!" Nurhachi pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "Others said the same thing——in your opinion, what happened to Shuerhaqi?" Fei Yingdong thought for a while and said, "Maybe, because Bu Zhantai is his son-in-law—" After a pause, he immediately added: "However, this trip, he is unwilling to lead the team forward before arriving in Feiyou City!" He simply told Nurhachi about the light on the flag, and tried to be as complete and objective as possible. Nurhachi, on the other hand, kept silent for a while after hearing this; Fei Yingdong knew that he was thinking about something, so he kept silent until he finished thinking and made a decision—— The next day, Nurhachi ordered someone to find Shuerhaqi and told him the decision after thinking about it. Unexpectedly, Shuerhaqi's attitude was very bad, and the two brothers almost quarreled—— Of course, the reason for this was that Shuerhaqi firmly opposed the execution of Changshu and Naqib. In order to insist on this, he did not hesitate to slap Nurhachi on the table and yelled loudly: "Killing them is killing me-they are listening to Those who I ordered to advance and retreat have no responsibility at all!" He even yelled arrogantly: "Don't think that you can kill people casually after you become a sweat! I just don't agree!" This kind of attitude and words, of course, made Nurhachi turn pale with anger and clenched his hands into fists—but a miracle happened. But after a while, Nurhachi's expression slowed down—not only did he not get angry, he didn't blame Shuerhaqi, but he nodded slightly and said: "Okay—then give them some light punishment." !" He immediately ordered that Changshu should be fined, and Naqib should cancel all his subordinates—that's all, it really is a "light punishment". But in this way, Shuerhaqi was so dumbfounded that he had nothing to say. The blushing face and thick neck expression became very unnatural because of such a stay; his tongue seemed to be frozen, and he could not make a sound in his throat; after a while, he simply He shook his head and walked away, striding out of the house. Nurhachi did not gradually reveal a peculiar light in his eyes until he walked away; his eyes were firm and powerful, as if he had made a deep determination, and also seemed to be buried in a new storm.
