Dozens of members of the Geng family originally planned to return to their place of origin, but at this time the capital was in chaos, and Geng Zhangguang had to live in Zhangjiakou with dozens of members of his family.
During this period, bad news often came that a certain city in the capital had been captured and a certain group of troops had been wiped out.
Since Zhao Lijiao and Mangui were defeated and killed in battle, the Ming Dynasty no longer had a strong army to fight in the field, and no generals dared to fight. The vast majority of the Ming army retreated into the city for defense.
The Jian slaves were running rampant in the capital, and it was like entering an uninhabited land!
As time went by, all the old lady heard was how ferocious Jiannu was, which city he conquered, and how many soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty were killed.
She was worried that her youngest son would never come back, and her mood became worse and worse. She began to regret agreeing to allow Geng Zhanghua to leave seclusion and participate in the fight.
She often asked Geng Yueru, who was by her side all the time, how many days had Geng Zhanghua been away, and how many more days should he come back?
Half a month passed with no news, and bad news came that the Ming army was defeated again and again. Geng Zhanghua and Geng Yueru were secretly worried and pretended to be calm in front of their mother.
The maids, servants, aunts, and mothers-in-law at home, including the concubine’s seventh daughter, Geng Yueling, were all very cautious.
After obtaining ninety-seven Tatar heads, Geng Zhangguang has contacted several adults who had a good relationship with his father in the past.
The vast majority of people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. There are very few people who provide help in times of need, and there are countless people who provide icing on the cake.
These civil servants are all veteran officials, and they all believe that with these beheading skills, Geng Ruqi will not lose his life, and the Geng family can make a comeback, and their attitude has become much more positive.
They believed that if they really got the heads of ten more real slaves, Geng Ruqi would not only survive, but the officer would be reinstated in all likelihood.
Therefore, whether there will be a real slave head is not only a concern of the Geng family, but also many adults are also looking forward to it.
There are several censors who are much lower in rank than Geng Raqi and are actually Geng Ruchi's disciples. They have decided to write a memorial to express their grievances to their master.
Since it is not known whether the head of a real slave was obtained, the memorial is vague about the acquisition of military merit, but it is pointed out that the decapitation skill does exist.
The censors and governors of the Ming Dynasty were allowed to make reports.
In other words, they can follow the wind and rain without worrying about false accusations or rumors.
In order to rescue his father, the story of Geng Zhanghua personally leading more than a hundred servants out of the pass to intercept and kill the Jiannu and Tatars retreating from the pass has already taken shape, but it has not entered the sight of Emperor Chongzhen.
Outside the Pass, in a mountainous area about five hundred miles away from Zhangjiakou, one hundred and eighty young and middle-aged Han men equipped with iron armor, led by thirty warriors such as Huang Dazhi and Hu Xiaochuan, were waiting at the mountain pass.
That's because Huang Yi felt uncomfortable being always hung up by the Jin Army born in his 30s and 40s, so he chose a favorable terrain to set up an ambush and prepared to fuck him hard.
The Yanshan Mountains outside the Great Wall have many mountains, rugged roads, and numerous dangerous places.
The place Huang Yi selected was a valley with a very narrow entrance.
If the remnants of the Jiannu tribe did not dare to go through this valley, they would have to go around the mountains, which would probably take at least three days.
After three days of delay, Huang Yi's team must have gone far away, and there is no telling where they will set up an ambush. Jianu will most likely lose his target.
Therefore, Huang Yi believed that Jiannu would definitely come.
Now Huang Yi has relatively large capital. In addition to his more than 30 troops, he can also use 1,600 young men, nearly 1,000 of whom have weapons, and the rest have an eyebrow-level stick.
In order not to affect the journey and to reduce casualties as much as possible, Huang Yi only selected 180 young men who were already equipped with iron armor to set up an ambush.
These 180 people are basically the most powerful among the 1,600 people, and one-third of them have personally killed bannermen, coated slaves, Yuding, and even Jiannu armored men.
At this time, their fighting will was resolute, and they were full of confidence in ambushing the Jin army who were thirty or forty years old.
Huang Yi divided the 210 people who participated in the ambush into two teams. After the Jin army entered the mountain pass, Huang Dazhi immediately led a hundred people to form a formation to block the enemy's way.
Huang Yi personally led one hundred and ten men to rush to block the mountain pass, trying to block the enemy in the valley and annihilate it.
Unfortunately, Kamuge has become a frightened bird. He not only followed cautiously, but also kept a distance of seven or eight miles.
He also looked at the terrain along the way and was extra cautious when he found that the terrain was steep. In order to avoid being annihilated by the ambush, he sent three of his men to enter first, and then sent three more at a distance.
Although this method is stupid, it is effective. As a result, the good terrain that Huang Yi finally selected did not have the effect of giving a devastating blow to Jiannu.
Huang Yi mobilized his troops to set up an ambush, and after waiting for a long time, he only surrounded six Jiannu.
Although the victory was achieved with zero casualties, the remaining Jian slaves were made to be more careful, and one can imagine how difficult it would be to plot against them.
However, although the results of this battle are small, they are inspiring.
Because the vast majority of those who participated in the war were new recruits, only a small part of the Ming army had been in the past, and the vast majority were ordinary people.
In the past few months, they had only seen the Hou Jin army burning, killing and looting, and they had only seen the Han people running away crying.
Today they finally saw the desperate Jiannu running away and begging for mercy in broad daylight.
All the Han people recognized the ugly face of the slaves who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and began to despise these barbarians from the bottom of their hearts.
At least in the minds of these Han people, Jiannu was definitely not invincible, but a coward who could easily be beaten to tears!
Morale is available!
Huang Yi decided not to leave and continued to act by ear here.
That's because the large army has been on the road. Because there are too many people, horses and carts, each one is fully loaded and the speed cannot go up.
It doesn't matter if Huang Yi and his troops spend a day at this mountain pass. I believe that if they walk at least two more hours every day, they can catch up with the large army in a day or two.
Kamuge was ambushed again and lost six armored men, including one with horse armor and one with infantry.
His heart grew cold, and he realized that he could not go back alive. With so many armored soldiers lost in his hands, he would definitely be beheaded if he went back.
He hated the small team of Guan Ning Army and was determined to take revenge. He would grit his teeth and hold on to this group of people.
When reinforcements arrive, he will be the first to charge until he is killed in the battle.
He did not take the remaining thirty-three cavalry into the valley to fight the Ming army who set up an ambush. Instead, he camped in an open area with a mountain behind him, two or three miles away from the mountain pass.
But he didn't know that every move they made was clearly seen by Huang Yi, who was observing with a telescope.
If the enemy is too cautious and it is not easy to use the terrain to ambush, then we should engage in mobile encirclement warfare and quietly approach them at night to surround them.
Most of the more than 200 people under his command are not soldiers, but just young and middle-aged people full of passion, but this does not mean that they have no fighting ability.
It is known that there are only thirty-four enemies left, and it is known that our own numbers are large enough to surround them, so of course we must give it a try.
