Huang Xiao soon left and returned.
"The people coming from the east should be our people, and the people coming from the west should be the slaves."
Zhang Yan said: "What should we do now?"
Huang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Let's observe again and eat first before talking."
The two had barbecue.
Huang Xiao went to observe again and saw that there were two more teams on both sides, but they did not encounter each other across the mountain peak where they were.
"We can't wait any longer. If our army doesn't find out here, and we have to wait for them to come over, we don't know how long it will take. Let's take a gamble! I'll light the fire."
Zhang Yan nodded.
Huang Xiao put dry wood into the fire.
Then he took the firewood out and stacked it.
He took the lit stick and threw it into the fire.
After a while, the flames flickered, and then a large amount of green smoke came out of the wet wood on top.
A gust of wind blew, and Zhang Yan was enveloped in smoke.
She coughed a few times and choked with tears.
Huang Xiao hurriedly went over and pulled her out.
Seeing Zhang Yan crying, she quickly asked: "What's wrong? Is it smoked?"
"Yes." Zhang Yan nodded lightly, but her tears still fell.
Zhang Yan wiped her tears and said, "Do the people at the foot of the mountain know it's us?"
Huang Xiao nodded and said, "I'll know."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud shout.
"Mother, Lord Marquis!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Signal fireworks shot into the sky on May 6th.
Soon, more than a dozen fireworks were returned.
To the west, the desolate sound of horns also sounded. Apparently Jiannu had also noticed it and was calling for help!
Last night, Mang Gurtai and Amin were fired upon.
More than 20,000 soldiers and horses managed to escape less than 15,000, and they went to the nearest Kuoyang Fort.
In the middle of the night, soldiers and horses from Fushun and Niumao Village also garrisoned Kuiyang Fort.
Du Du's surrender to the enemy and the loss of Liaonan made Nurhaci furious.
He was afraid that the soldiers and horses led by Amin and Mang Gurtai would be lost, so he hurriedly sent Abatai to lead 20,000 troops to help defend the Sweetwater Castle area.
However, as soon as the team arrived at Niumao Village, they heard the deafening sound of shelling and the fire that burned half of the sky red.
Abata hurriedly marched to meet them, and met the disgraced Amin and Mang Gurtai at Kuoyang Fort.
The three of them were all bitter when they met.
After exchanging information and analyzing it, Abatai also agreed with Amin's previous analysis.
"Now only by capturing Empress Ming and Huang Xiao can we quench the hatred in our hearts!"
Abata said bitterly: "Ama was so angry that she vomited blood one after another. In addition, she also suffered burns in Shengjing. If there is no good news, we will have no shame to see Ama!"
Amin and Mang Gurtai nodded, so the next morning, like the Ming army, they went to search for traces of Zhang Yan and Huang Xiao.
Who would have thought that someone would light a bonfire on the Motian Ridge that connects Shangguan in front of Kuoyang Fort!
All the slaves were excited, happy, annoyed and angry at the same time!
I really didn’t expect that the two people Daikin was searching so hard would be so close. If they had discovered it earlier, the situation would not be like this!
"Minggou is on the other side, blow the horn quickly!" Amin shouted angrily.
…
The first to notice the fireworks was Cao Wenzhao's vanguard, a total of three thousand soldiers and horses. After seeing the fireworks, the soldiers and generals present were so excited that they shouted, and many shed tears.
After hearing the trumpet sound of Jiannu, Cao Wenzhao and others became anxious.
Soon, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Mangui, Zu Dashou, Yang Lian, Song Yingxing and the soldiers of Dahuangzhuang all received the shocking news, and they marched towards Motian Ridge.
Motian Ridge is located in Lianshan Pass, between Kueyang Fort and Tianshui Fort. It is the easternmost pass of the Great Wall in Western Liaoning.
It was under the control of Jian Nu at Kuoyang Fort. Therefore, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jian Nu arrived a quarter of an hour before Sun Chengzong and others.
"Follow me and kill him! We must not allow Jiannu to get there first!"
Cao Wenzhao drew his knife and pointed it away!
He shouted: "You guys, kill them!"
Cao Wenzhao led the 3,000 vanguard troops and rushed towards the 30,000 Jiannu army formation without hesitation!
"Kill Jiannu! Save empress!"
"Kill the bright dog! Capture the queen!"
Both sides were shouting wildly! Impact together.
Suddenly, screams kept ringing!
The battle suddenly became very bloody.
Huang Xiao and Zhang Yan stood on the top of the mountain, watching the desperate battle between the enemy and ourselves at the foot of the mountain.
"Because of my fault this time, I, the hot-blooded man of the Ming Dynasty, suffered numerous casualties. Sister-in-law, I feel so uncomfortable!"
Huang Xiao shed tears as she spoke.
Three thousand people were like a small boat, swallowed up instantly by 30,000 people.
Looking from a high place, although there were waves constantly undulating, Huang Xiao knew that without timely support, all three thousand people would eventually die in battle!
These Ming soldiers who had never met before resolutely sacrificed their precious lives in order to save themselves and Zhang Yan!
Huang Xiao was moved and filled with endless pain!
He is no longer that insignificant young man, but the spiritual pillar of the Ming Dynasty. His every move can affect the lives and deaths of countless people!
Huang Xiao felt sad and cried.
Zhang Yan went over, took Huang Xiao's hand, and said softly: "Don't be like this, didn't you say it in a poem? How ambitious are you to make sacrifices, how dare you teach the sun and the moon to change the sky!"
As long as they feel it is worth it, they will die a worthy death. If you have not failed to live up to the expectations of the soldiers and people, and you will not do so in the future, then you are worthy of them.
If you feel uncomfortable, build Ming Dynasty into the world's first-class power in the future! This situation will never happen again! "
Huang Xiao turned his head away, not daring to look at the battlefield.
Zhang Yan said: "Since ancient times, kindness has not led soldiers. You are a qualified wise minister, but not a qualified commander. My sister-in-law feels very uncomfortable, but as the controllers of the Ming Dynasty, we must harden our hearts!"
Huang Xiao said: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for enlightening me. I will definitely live up to the sacrifices of these warriors! I will definitely!"
Zhang Yan reached out to brush away Huang Xiao's tears and smiled, "Wipe your tears quickly. If our army sees the dignified Marquis Zhongyi crying and his eyes turn red, I'm afraid we will laugh at you."
Huang Xiao smiled bitterly.
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of shelling came from the foot of the mountain.
The two turned around quickly.
Huang Xiao was overjoyed: "Haha! That's a good shot!"
Zhang Yanran smiled and said, "I cry sometimes and laugh sometimes, and I am not ashamed."
Huang Xiao laughed, did not answer, and looked down.
But it was the team from Dahuang Village that rushed over immediately.
After more than ten rounds of artillery fire.
Jiannu's middle section seemed to have been severely flattened by a big hammer!
Mang Gurtai and Amin both saw despair and pain in each other's eyes!
"Run!"
Mang Gurtai and Amin fled first.
Abate's tribe was taken away.
Cao Wenzhao and more than a thousand remaining soldiers laughed loudly.
"Uncle, uncle! We won!"
Cao Bianjiao stood up from the corpse unsteadily, his body covered with blood.
"Yes, we won!" Cao Wenzhao had tears in his eyes. He lost nearly two thousand soldiers in this battle, and they were all good soldiers he led personally.
Suddenly he saw his nephew. His body went limp and he fell into a pile of corpses. He hurriedly went to check on him: "Transformed into a dragon! Are you injured?"
But he saw his nephew, his face was pale, his breathing was weak, but he had passed out.
Cao Wenzhao felt a pain in his heart and shed tears.
He has always regarded his nephew as his own son. In order to train his nephew, he did not give him special treatment, but put him in the army for training. Who knows...
"superior!"
Liu Yi waved his hand, and five hundred soldiers with muskets ran up and raised their muskets to shoot!
Almost one gun at a time.
Jiannu completely collapsed and fled towards Kuoyang Fort!
The Dahuangzhuang soldiers turned around and ignored Jiannu.
"Haha! God bless the Ming Dynasty! I finally found the empress and the Marquis!"
Sun Chengzong laughed.
Liu Yishou came over and said loudly: "Supervisor, I, the Dahuangzhuang soldiers, request to go up the mountain to pick up the empress and the Marquis from the mountain!"
Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "Okay! Go!"
Liu Yishou whistled.
Nearly five hundred people took out their engineering shovels one after another and forcibly cleared an upward passage.
