On this day, the corpses on the south bank of Weishui are all over the field, most of them are the corpses of Han soldiers, blood stains the land and rivers red, and the gentle autumn wind in the evening cannot blow away the rich smell of blood in the air.

Among the corpses everywhere, there were occasional groans of pain from seriously wounded Han soldiers, but they soon stopped abruptly, and they were killed by the Mongol soldiers who patrolled around with their knives.

Such an atmosphere seems to be tragic and tragic, as if it has experienced a brutal bloody battle, but in fact, this battle has been one-sided from beginning to end, and it is not very intense, and it can even be said to be a little dull.

On the shore of Weishui, the commander of the Mongol coalition army, Ba Gengao, sat on his war horse and looked coldly at the Han generals kneeling in front of him, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain.

The Han general kneeling in front of Bagen was dressed in a forbidden army uniform, only about 30 years old, and his temperament did not have any of the brave posture that a soldier should have, but he had a little more cunning spirit, and at this time his image was even more disastrous, not only his face was pale, covered with dirt and blood, but his expression was even more panicked.

The general of the forbidden army is named Han Zhang, and he is a commander of the forbidden army.

Han Zhang's military position at such a young age is naturally not because of his outstanding military achievements and extraordinary skills, but because he relies on the shadow of his ancestors!

Han Zhangnai was born in a noble family, his grandfather had the title of Duke of the Kingdom, and his uncle served in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, so after he joined the forbidden army, he also had a smooth journey and rose to the top.

For Han Zhang, the errand of the forbidden army is to kill time, mix up qualifications, and receive some money as pocket money by the way, his future path has already been arranged by the family, and in a few years he will be promoted to the commander of the third grade, and then promoted to the commander after the age of forty, if he is lucky, he can go further, become the chief soldier of a military town in a certain place, and control the military and political power of one side.

However, for the arrogant Han Zhang, such a life inevitably lacks some stimulation, so when Guan Wuyuan led the forbidden army to support Shaanxi and Gansu, Han Zhang followed, on the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to gain some military merits to increase his capital, and on the other hand, he also wanted to seek some stimulation.

Han Zhang has always regarded himself as extraordinary, thinking that he is different from those noble children who eat and wait for death, he was born to be a famous general and a hero, so after Guan Wuyuan was ordered by Zhao Junchen to garrison Longnan, Han Zhang took the initiative to ask Guan Wuyuan for orders to be stationed on the Zhenning Acropolis.

Zhenningwei is located in the north of Longnan, once the Mongol coalition army invades the Longnan region, it will inevitably become the front line of the war, all the generals of the forbidden army under the command of Guan Wuyuan are avoiding this errand, Guan Wuyuan was originally a little embarrassed, after seeing Han Zhang take the initiative to ask for help, and saw Han Zhang with a confident look, and the ability to talk on paper and boast is also quite good, so he agreed to Han Zhang's request.

In this way, Han Zhang became the supreme military commander of Zhenningwei, and was also responsible for controlling the border forces in Gubian Fort, Weiding Fort, Anyuan Fort and other places around Zhenningwei.

Before Han Zhang went to the Zhenning Acropolis, Guan Wuyuan also repeatedly told Han Zhang that the defense of Zhenning Wei was mainly based on stability, as long as it was not to lose the city and land, and Han Zhang was also full of promises at that time, but how could a noble son like Han Zhang, who boasted of being extraordinary and happy with great achievements, be willing to be lonely?

Therefore, not long after arriving at the Zhenning Acropolis, when Han Zhang learned that the Mongol coalition army had invaded the central part of Gongchang Mansion and was about to forcibly cross Weishui, coupled with the continuous agitation of some people, his mind suddenly became lively.

Han Zhang's wishful thinking is very loud, although the Weishui is not deep now, but it is not easy to force the crossing, it will inevitably take a lot of energy and time, if Han Zhang takes advantage of the Mongolian coalition army to launch a surprise attack, at least the Mongolian coalition army's river-crossing vanguard can lose some soldiers and horses! After a little contribution, Han Zhang will immediately leave the battlefield, and after the main force of the Mongolian coalition army crosses the Weishui, it will inevitably be sleepy and unable to catch up, and it is not difficult for Han Zhang to escape safely!

After the Mongolian coalition army entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it has always been overwhelming and unstoppable, in this case, even if Han Zhang only killed one hundred and ten enemies, it was the first merit of this battle! At that time, not only will there be countless military achievements, but also show off and become a hero known to the world!

In Han Zhang's view, this is a gamble with little risk and great returns, and it is completely worth trying!

So, Han Zhang secretly gathered all the cavalry in Zhenningwei, and paid close attention to the dynamics of the Mongolian coalition army, and found that after the Mongolian coalition army began to forcibly cross Weishui, he couldn't wait to lead the troops to kill it!

It's a pity that Han Zhang didn't know that the Shaanxi-Gansu border army had been infiltrated by the Wang family for many years, and the commander of the Mongolian coalition army, Ba Gen, also learned of Han Zhang's sneak attack plan in advance through Wang Quan's informants, and Han Zhang's ability to lead troops was even more incomparable than Bagen!

After Bagen discovered Han Zhang's attempt, he quickly made a decision, first let the main force of the Mongolian coalition army prepare for the forced crossing of Weishui with great fanfare, so as to attract Han Zhang's attention, and then secretly arranged a small elite force of 1,000 people to take the lead in secretly crossing Weishui from the upstream direction, and ambush on the south bank of Weishui, and when everything was ready, Bagen finally ordered the main force of the Mongolian coalition army to cross the river!

On the other hand, after seeing the Mongolian coalition army crossing the river, Han Zhang immediately led the army to launch a surprise attack, but unfortunately the Mongolian coalition army had already taken precautions and did not let Han Zhang reap too much results! In this regard, although Han Zhang was unwilling, he was also more afraid of the powerful combat power displayed by the Mongolian coalition army, and did not have the slightest intention of fighting, so he planned to flee the battlefield immediately.

Who knows, the small group of Mongolian elites who crossed the river in advance had already been ambushed on the side, and suddenly appeared to block Han Zhang's retreat, constantly entangled and harassed, making it completely impossible for Han Zhang to escape!

In this way, after the main force of the Mongol coalition army crossed the Weishui, the result could be predicted!

In the end, in less than half an hour, more than 4,000 troops under Han Zhang's command were either killed or captured, almost completely wiped out, and even Han Zhang himself became Bagen's prisoner!

*

At this time, kneeling under Bagen's horse, Han Zhang's heart was full of panic and remorse!

Panic about your future fate, regret that you shouldn't listen to people's encouragement and take risks!

Even if you take a risk, you shouldn't lead the army yourself!

But now, it's too late to regret it.

Under Bagen's cold gaze, Han Zhang's body couldn't help trembling, he suddenly found that he was not a natural hero and famous general as he imagined, and after being captured, there was only the word "spare life" left in his heart for a while.

The previous ambitions, the extraordinaryness of his heart, and the mission and responsibility of the soldiers were all left behind by Han Zhang at this moment, and Han Zhang only thought about one thing at this time, that is, to try to save his life!

For this reason, even if it is to surrender to the enemy, it is not hesitating.

Han Zhang had already thought about it, as long as the Mongolian commander in front of him said the slightest, he would shout "willing to surrender", and tell all the information he knew, and even give the Zhenning Acropolis to him!

However, Bagan only looked at Han Zhang coldly from beginning to end, and after seeing Han Zhang's clumsy performance, the disdain in his expression became more and more obvious, but he had no intention of recruiting Han Zhang to be the leading party.

Under such circumstances, Han Zhang's heart became more and more flustered, and he couldn't help but want to take the initiative to surrender and save his life!

However, at this time, a Mongolian general suddenly rode a horse in front of Bagen and reported: "Lord Bagen, the results of the battle have been counted, our army has killed ninety-three warriors in this battle, and more than 100 people have been wounded...... However, the 4,000 Han Chinese army that attacked us this time has been completely annihilated, about 2,000 people have been captured, and all the rest have been annihilated! ”

Speaking of this, the Mongolian general looked disdainful, and said: "These Han soldiers are really cowardly, most of them are strong and well-equipped, I heard that they are still the guards of the Han emperor, but they are only slightly damaged, they have surrendered, and most of them have become prisoners, but in this way, there are too many prisoners, how to deal with them, please show Lord Bagen!" ”

In the report of the Mongol general, the Han soldiers were either captured or killed, and there was not a single wounded.

But Bagen didn't have any accidents, healthy Han people can still be used as slaves, but the injured Han people are just a drag, so naturally they will be killed directly to save trouble!

However, it is a daily practice to use captives as slaves, and now that the Mongol coalition army has penetrated deep into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, these prisoners of war will be a drag and a hidden danger if they act with the army.

Therefore, after hearing the report, Bagen couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, not knowing whether he should kill all these prisoners of war or send them to the grassland in advance.

After hesitating for a moment, Bagen thought that the former was more appropriate, and now that the Mongol tribes had been suffering from natural disasters for many years, they could not afford to support too many slaves.

And just as Bagen was about to give the order, two Han Chinese ran towards him quickly.

One of the two Han people was dressed as a businessman, with a somewhat gloomy expression, and the other was dressed as the general flag of the border army, and their expressions were full of nervousness, and they followed the former step by step.

These two people are naturally Wang Quan and Liu Dashun.

After seeing the two of them, Bagen's expression softened slightly, a smile flashed on his lips, and he nodded to the two of them: "Mr. Wang and Mr. Liu are here!" If it weren't for Mr. Wang's connection and Mr. Liu's tipping message, I wouldn't have been able to know about the Han army's sneak attack plan in advance, and I might have injured many sons...... The righteous deeds of these two gentlemen will be repaid by our Mongolian coalition army in the future! ”

Bagen did not lie, this time the war went smoothly, in addition to the cowardice of the Han army, which was about to collapse, to a large extent, it was due to Wang Quan's news network and Liu Dashun's betrayal of the enemy, otherwise the Mongol coalition army would definitely add a lot of damage, and it would be difficult to retain the Han army that attacked them.

It is precisely because of this incident that Bagen has more and more trust in Wang Quan and Liu Dashun.

After hearing Bagen's promise, Wang Quan's face was overjoyed, and Liu Dashun had a complicated expression, but both of them hurriedly thanked Bagen and promised that they would continue to serve the Mongolian coalition in the future.

Then, Liu Dashun secretly touched Wang Quan with his elbow, Wang Quan was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized, as if he suddenly thought of something, and asked Bagen: "Lord Bagen, I heard that you captured more than 2,000 Han soldiers this time, but I don't know what you plan to do with them?" If you haven't thought of a way yet, I've got an idea! ”

Bagan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Quan smiled and said: "Actually, my Wang family has been operating in Shaanxi and Gansu for many years, and it is naturally not only Liu Zongqi who is a friend in Zhenningwei!" In the Zhenning Acropolis, there is also a Zhang Ying and Zhang Baihu who have a lot of relationship with my Wang family, and they are still in contact with each other! In fact, this time Liu Zongqi rushed to report the news, and it was also because of Zhang Baihu's suggestion...... That Zhang Baihu is now also willing to take refuge in Mongolia, and is even willing to give the Zhenning Acropolis to Lord Bagen! ”

"Oh?" Hearing Wang Quan's statement, Bagen suddenly became interested and asked, "He is just a hundred households, how can he have the ability to give me the Zhenning Acropolis?" ”

Wang Quan's face flashed with a hint of pride, and he explained: "If you only rely on his strength, it is naturally impossible, but if you add this batch of prisoners, it will be different!" Now that the news of the defeat of the Han army should not have reached the Zhenning Acropolis, as long as you let Liu Zongqi recruit some of the men among these captives, let them return to the Zhenning Acropolis as a defeated army, and try to block the gate of the Zhenning Acropolis when entering the city, coupled with Zhang Baihu's internal response, the gate of the Zhenning Acropolis must not be closed in a short time, and when the Mongolian coalition army takes the opportunity to rush over, wouldn't it be easy for Lord Bagen to take away Zhenning Wei? ”

Hearing Wang Quan's suggestion, Bagen couldn't help but have a solemn expression, obviously a little moved, and was seriously considering it.

At the same time, the initial idea of killing prisoners has quietly dissipated.

After a long time, Bagan nodded slowly and said, "This is a clever plan, but in order to prevent these captives from suddenly betraying at that time, in the team pretending to be defeated, it is necessary to mix in thirty percent of the Mongol warriors to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" ”

Wang Quan nodded again and again and said, "This is nature!" Lord Bagan is thoughtful, and the villain admires it to the extreme! ”

Bagen smiled proudly, only feeling that it was smooth sailing for him to lead the army into the territory of Daming this time, and the original cautious psychology also dissipated slightly at this moment.

Then, turning his horse's head, Bagan planned to gather the generals of the Mongol coalition to plan the matter.

On the other hand, because the conversation between Bagen and Wang Quan was in Mongolian from beginning to end, Han Zhang, who was kneeling in front of Bagen, couldn't understand it at all, and he was always in a fog.

If Han Zhang could understand the conversation between them, he would definitely be dumbfounded.

Because, the person who instigated him to sneak attack the Mongolian coalition army was Zhang Ying, the Zhenning Wei Baihu who took the initiative to surrender to the enemy in Wang Quan's mouth!

At this time, seeing that Bagen wanted to leave, but didn't know what to do with himself, Han Zhang couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "This Mongolian lord, I am willing to surrender!" I will surrender! Also, my grandfather was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he would exchange a large sum of money and food for my life! As long as you guarantee my safety, I will do anything......"

Hearing Han Zhang's shout, Bagen remembered this Han prisoner.

Bagan, who also did not understand Chinese, asked Wang Quan, "What is he talking about?" ”

A hint of gloom suddenly flashed in Wang Quan's eyes.

He was trusted and reused by Bagen because he had many connections and eyeliner in the Ming Dynasty, and his use value was irreplaceable for Bagen.

But if the descendant of the prince in front of him is also descended to Bagen, wouldn't the importance of Wang Quan drop significantly?

Thinking of this, Wang Quan first secretly looked around, and saw that there were all Dzungar Khanate soldiers from the Western Regions nearby, and no one was proficient in Chinese, so he secretly glanced at Liu Dashun next to him, lowered his head and said to Bagen: "He said that he is the descendant of a Han duke, you must not hurt him, otherwise, ...... Lord Bagen, I don't dare to say what is going on. ”

Hearing Wang Quan's explanation, a trace of anger flashed in Bagen's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "In that case, kill him!" ”

With that, Bagan turned his horse's head and left
