Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the fifth year of Jiajing, and tomorrow will usher in the sixth year of the Jiajing year. The smoke curls over the Gubeikou Guancheng, the air is filled with the tempting aroma of meat and wine, and the rows of barracks are pasted with spring me.

It is good that the country is rich and strong, and the hard-headed soldiers can receive their military salaries on time every month, and they can also bring a sumptuous meal to the public family during the New Year's holidays.

At this time, I saw that in the open space in front of the barracks, the door panel rested on the bench as a table, and a long flowing water mat was laid out, the oily braised pork, the whole sheep roasted to golden brown, the stewed crispy tofu, the fragrant scallion oil flatbread, and the key is the wine.

The garrisons sat around and chopped together, laughing and scolding, so unhappy, this was the New Year's dinner for them who fought on the battlefield!

"Come on, come on, everyone thank the general for a cup!" An officer with the appearance of a thousand households raised his wine glass and walked in front of Xie Sangun.

It is worth mentioning here that after Wang Shouren was transferred, Xie Sangun took over the defense of Gubeikou Guancheng, but his position was the general of the Gubeikou garrison, which was equivalent to the commander of the guard, with 5,600 people under his command, and his immediate boss was Qiu Luan, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town.

Xie Sangun and Qiu Luan are martial arts warriors in the same department, and he is the number one champion, while Qiu Luan is a martial artist, but Qiu Luan still has the identity of the hereditary Xianning Marquis, so he sat on Xie Sangun's head instead.

Although Xie Sangun was a little unhappy, after all, he was young, and it was not a bad thing to suffer some losses, and behind him was the great god Xu Jin, the Duke of Yasukuni, and the backstage was very hard, so no one dared to underestimate him, including Qiu Luan, who was also polite to him on the surface.

At this time, the thousand households who took the lead in toasting to Xie Sangun were called He Jiu'er, the veteran oil, and he guarded Gubeikou for more than 20 years, and when Bodi Khan broke Gubeikou last year, this goods did not die by luck, and directly became thousands of households from 100 households, because the above were all killed in battle, and the number of officers was not enough, so he made him on the top of 100 households and picked up a big bargain.

This He Jiu'er's martial arts are average, and the leader of the troops is also average, but the advantage is that he is obedient. Xie Sangun has just arrived, and this person is easy to use, so he uses it temporarily.

"A glass to the general!" Everyone stood up and toasted Xie Sangun.

Xie Sangun raised his wine glass and drank it down, and said loudly: "Brothers, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the New Year should be fun, but as a soldier, the guards are responsible, so everyone can't drink more, who dares to get drunk, General Ben stripped him naked and tied him to the city gate, and poured ice water on the birds." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and He Jiu'er said loudly: "Did you hear clearly what the general said about ice water and birds?" ”

"Can the general use hot water and rub it with some soap by the way? I haven't washed it for a long time. Someone joked aloud.

Xie Sangun said seriously: "Hot water is enough, it's better to heat the oil, add some salt and fry it." ”

Everyone laughed again, the joy of the big-headed soldiers was so simple, and a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was happily carried out amid laughter and scolding and various meat jokes.

Suddenly, the brother who had just joked that he was going to wash the birds with hot water opened his mouth wide and pointed to the sky in surprise and screamed, because the mouth of the fish was stuffed with braised pork.

Everyone followed what he was hoping for, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and Xie San jumped up and shouted: "Copy the guy and go to the city." ”

I saw that above the sky, several puffs of wolf smoke were rising, which was a beacon signal, indicating that an enemy was coming.

"Mother, damn Tartar, I won't be happy for the New Year!"

"Uncle Grass!" A group of Qiu Ba scolded and ran to copy the guys and rushed to the city.

Xie Sangun boarded the head of the Gubeikou Pass, raised his eyes to look north, and sure enough, he saw smoke and dust billowing out, and it was obvious that a large group of men and horses were rushing towards this side. Xie Sangun secretly wondered, the left and right wings of Tatar were fighting each other, how could they have time to attack the side?

Xie Sangun took out binoculars and observed for a while, but his face became more and more strange, judging from the clothing, this invading cavalry is indeed a Tartar, but the formation is scattered, and those who lose their armor are more like fleeing for their lives.

After about the time of the tea, the horse team galloped half a mile outside the city, and a large stream of dust also rolled in the distance, and Xie Sangun confirmed his guess even more when he saw this.

Rumble......

There was a cannon fire on the top of the city, and a pillar of smoke rose into the sky, which was an empty cannon, no shells were fired, and the function was to warn. The Tatar cavalry heard the sound of artillery, and sure enough, it slowed down and slowly stopped fifty meters outside the city, and the war horses under their crotch were snorting and panting.

"This is the Gubeikou of the Ming Dynasty, and the offender will die!" Xie San's gun sank into the dantian and shouted at the city.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a horse galloping out of the ranks under the city, and the people on the horse approached while beating their horses, and shouted with their hands raised: "The Ming general at the head of the city, the Tatar envoy Chilu Buhua in Xianai, who came last time." ”

Xie Sangun fixed his eyes and found that it was indeed a Tatar envoy who had come more than a month ago, and it was said that this benevolent brother was dried by his brother-in-law for half a month, and finally spent all his money and went back to Chahar in a gloomy manner.

"Aha, Chilu Huaguang, I will recognize you, what are you doing here for this big New Year?" Xie Sangun laughed.

Chilu Buhua's face trembled for a while, and he said with a dry smile: "The name of the next is Chilu Buhua, not Chilu Huaguang, please open the city gate and let the next enter the city, and meet the son of heaven of your country below." ”

He Jiu'er sneered: "Bah, you are the oldest, how can I see my tomorrow if you want to see it, not to mention that you brought so many people here, where it seems that you are going to be an envoy, get out immediately, and go back to where you come from, otherwise you will taste the taste of my Daming artillery." ”

At this time, the dust in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the chasing soldiers were coming, Chilu was so anxious that he wanted to cry, and said loudly: "General, we have a chasing soldier behind us, can you let us into the city first?" ”

Xie Sangun was naturally not stupid enough to put hundreds of Tartars with weapons into the city, not to mention that another group of Tartars was about to be killed, God knows if it was a trick!

Chilu Buhua saw that Xie Sangun was indifferent, and naturally knew that the other party didn't trust him, so he couldn't help but be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. At this moment, Isana rode out of the group and came to the side of Chiru Buhua.

The Ming troops at the head of the city all showed surprise, because this woman was still holding a little boy of four or five years old!

Isana looked up at Xie Sangun, and shouted in Mandarin: "The little girl Isana, the sister of Kuden Khan, this is the brother of Kuden Khan, please open the city gate and let us enter the city, my people are chasing us behind." ”

Xie Sangun's face changed slightly, Yisana he didn't know, but Mentu he knew, he was Kuden Khan Da Lai Sun's only younger brother, and one of the three conditions proposed by his brother-in-law was to let Mentu go to Daming as a hostage.

"Why are you being hunted down by my men?" Xie Sangun had already believed six or seven percent at this time, but for the sake of safety, he still asked clearly.

Batu said anxiously: "Altan has captured the Khan's court, the Great Khan may have died, and I will not let us go." ”

Xie San's guns trembled, doesn't this mean that I have defeated the left wing and unified the entire Tartary? It's too fast, my brother-in-law still wants to continue to kill each other with two wings!

At this time, the pursuers finally arrived, and there were only three or four hundred guards left in the Khan Court, and at this time they were so frightened that they scattered and fled for their lives, leaving only dozens of loyal guards in front of the Isana sisters and brothers, but they were all trembling with fear.

Arslen led more than a thousand iron horsemen to rush to the gate and stopped, arrogant he didn't even bother to look at the city, just stared coldly at the Isana sisters and brothers, and shouted: "Isana, you shouldn't have fled to Daming!" ”

Isana's face turned pale, she clenched her knife and sneered, "Then where should we flee to?" Brave General Arslen, you tell me! ”

Arslen said in a deep voice: "Daming is our mortal enemy of Tatar, and it is unforgivable to take refuge in Daming!" ”

"Phew, now it's Altan who wants our lives, we have no choice, where is Arslen, where is Da Lai Sun? Tell me! Isana asked loudly.

Arslen was silent for a moment before he said: "Da Lai Xun has returned to the embrace of the mountain god, he is very brave, he returned to the arms of the mountain god by himself!" ”

"You killed him, you killed Da Lai Xun!" Isana's face turned pale, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Brother!" Xiao Mentu burst into tears.

Arslenzema approached slowly, and said sincerely: "Itana, go back with Ben, and I will ask Altan Khan to forgive you!" ”

Isana gritted her teeth and said, "You bring me the head of the man, and I will go back with you!" ”

Arslen's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he slowly raised his mace and said, "Since you are not confused, then Ben will send your sister and brother to reunite with Da Lai Xun!" ”

Collapse......

A powerful arrow shot from the city, Ars put the mace horizontally, easily blocked the strong arrow, and then slowly raised his head to meet Xie Sangun's gaze, and shouted uncontrollably: "I am Alslen, the general of Altan Khan, and now I am dealing with the affairs of the clan, it is none of your business, so I have to be nosy!" ”

Xie Sangun was angry, he ran to my Daming Guancheng to kill people, and he even dared to say that we are nosy, I have seen arrogance, I have never seen such arrogance, if you don't cut you, the master will not be called Xie Sangun!

"Shoot the arrows!" Xie Sangun gave an order, and arrows rained down on the city, although Arslen was brave, after all, he was not three-headed and six-armed, and had to retreat to dodge after sweeping down more than a dozen arrows.

"Bah, I thought it was so powerful, brothers, and I would go out of the city with Ben to cut his mother!" Xie Sangun shouted and got off the city, stepped on the war horse, ordered two thousand horsemen and opened the city gate to kill directly.

As the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, not to mention that it has been determined that the little boy is Mentu at this time, such a great achievement is in front of him, how could Xie Sangun miss it. Of course, the reason why Xie Sangun is so bold is because he found that the other party only has thousands of riders, and there are many people who beat and few people.
