Chang Yu's face was pale, and he looked down at the map drawn by Guo Ren, that is to say, they and the Qing army were less than twenty miles apart and went south side by side, but they ran a little faster, but it was only ten miles apart.

"Factory father, otherwise I will kill him" Lao Jiu and Jia Waixiong didn't know when they woke up, and they came to the front and said, Chang Yu fell into deep thought.

"Lao Jiu is right, I can't run and run, it's better for me to wait and kill and drag the Tartar to cover the factory first," Jia Waixiong gritted his teeth and said.

Chang Yu glanced up at him and Lao Jiu, and said in a deep voice: "This plan is feasible, but do you two know what the cost is?" ”

Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "It's a big deal to die in battle!" ”

It is said that it is the highest honor for the soldier's horse leather shroud to die on the battlefield, but in fact, it is just a blood for the soldiers, of course, it is not excluded that there are soldiers who are passionate and loyal to serve the country as glory, but it is obvious that Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu do not have such a high consciousness.

It's another kind of spirit, life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it.

Death is death, as long as it is cool before death.

This kind of spirit is both innate and influenced by the little eunuch, and the two of them decided one thing when they spoke: fight to the death with this Tartar and cover Chang Yu first.

With 500 people fighting 2,000 people, no matter how strong he is, no matter how strong he is, he will die for a lifetime, or even death!

"But Ben Du doesn't want the two of you to die like this" Chang Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and the two of them knew that Chang Yu had thought of a way when they saw Chang Yu's smile for a long time: "But the factory has a way?" ”

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Thanks to the two of you, there is really a stupid way."

"What's the way?" the two asked urgently.

"You two kill the past, cover the governor first" Chang Yu clenched his fists hard and said in a deep voice, Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu looked confused: "Ahem, factory duke, isn't this the method that the humble position and Lao Jiu said just now, and didn't you say that you were reluctant to let us two die?" ”。

Chang Yu laughed and shook his head slightly: "The method is the same method, but according to the method of the two of you, it is nine deaths and one life, and the use of this governor can ensure that the two of you are worry-free, you may be beaten up, but you may not die!" ”

Violent beating? The corners of Lao Jiu's mouth twitched: "I have the first combat power under the command of the East Factory of the Black Wolf Camp, and we have always beaten others, and we have never been beaten by others, even if there are many Tartars!" ”

This is a bit pretentious but very imposing, Chang Yu likes his subordinates to have this kind of arrogance and arrogance, but Jia Waixiong is unwilling, and sighs: "I thought that Wu Zhong was the most braggartic, but I didn't expect you to learn from him, who said that the Black Wolf Battalion was the first in combat power, and when my Black Panther Battalion didn't exist!" ”

Hey, Lao Jiu rolled his eyes: "What's the drop, Boss Jia, you don't seem to be convinced......" As he was talking, he suddenly shut up, because he caught a glimpse of Chang Yu and was about to burst out: "Why are you two talking so much nonsense" Chang Yu glared at the two of them, snatched the branch in Guo Ren's hand, and scratched on the ground: "Whoever is first, who is awesome, just go back and walk, Lao Jiu will rest later, you are so ......"

Dolgon sent a vanguard to Qingzhou Mansion just in case, and the leading Qing generals were not veterans such as King Sanshun under his command, nor were they young and strong mainstays such as Nikan Mandahai, but sent a pair of unknown uncles and nephews.

The uncle's name is Kangkler, and the nephew's name is Hetuo, the two are not famous but have a lot of backgrounds, Kangkler is the grandson of the famous Huifa Belle Wang Jiqi, that is, the branch of Cixi later.

However, at this time, Kang Khal because of the Songjin War two years ago in the Tashan battle and Gushan Ezhen Yechen for merit, the crime should be killed, the emperor Taiji pardoned it, this time into the customs is still to be guilty of meritorious service, his nephew is now Jia Lazhangjing is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty general guerrilla, is the main general of this vanguard.

Although Hetuo is the main general, he listens to his uncle's opinion in everything, after all, Kang Kler has followed Huang Taiji for several years and has rich battlefield experience, and he is only a fledgling at this time and still needs to be experienced.

Kangkler is very concerned about this mission, and feels that it is Dolgon who gives himself the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, a few months ago he secretly resolved to get back everything he lost with his military exploits with Dolgon's exit from Shenyang, but Ning Yuan suffered a crushing defeat in the Qing army in a war, and after entering the customs, he hit the wall again and again, and there was no chance to make meritorious contributions, this time he was finally ordered to enter Qingzhou Mansion first, and he even discussed with Hetuo that he would immediately besiege the city as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou Mansion, and find a way to break the city and plunder Qingzhou Mansion before the main force arrived is a great achievement!

After receiving the order in Hancun, Kang Khal, and his uncle and nephew led two thousand cavalry to hurry, and there was no attack when the villages and towns passed by, firstly, they did not look down on these poor and remote ant meat, and secondly, they were selfish, and they only wanted to get a little more chance when they arrived in Qingzhou Mansion one step earlier.

So running all the way but let Chang Yu chase hard, they from Tianjin all the way slowly but have always retained part of their physical strength, Chang Yu also ran three hundred miles a day, people and horses legs are soft, where to catch up with him, fortunately, although Kang Kale is in a hurry to hurry, but he is not as hard as Chang Yu, otherwise the distance is not ten miles.

It was midsummer (the second month of summer) the weather was hot and dry, Kang Kler led his troops to run dozens of miles in one breath, it was nearly evening, but it was unbearable, there was a small river named Chen Nigou in front of it, the river water had been cut off but it was enough for people and horses to drink, and there were two or three villages next to it, so he let the horses rest on the riverside and then enter the village as a guest, and he had to do some evil.

But I didn't know that twenty miles away from the northeast along this river, the little eunuch was also resting on the riverside, drinking the same river water, but they were incompatible!

As the sun set, the heat went away when the twilight was heavy, Kang Kele summoned his men and horses to cross the river and continue to travel south for another thirty miles, and the night was getting deeper, and there was a big river blocking the way in front of them, but it was to the Tuxiao River, that is, they had left Wudi County and entered the territory of Binzhou.

After running nearly 100 miles in one afternoon, Konkler felt that it was the limit, so he ordered to camp with the bank for a night and set off again tomorrow morning, as for the army behind should be busy plundering the surrounding villages and towns at this time, and there was no time to hurry, but there was no need to fight too hard.

He didn't fight, but the little eunuch fought, and Kang Kle lowered his head and was busy hurrying, not knowing that there was a Ming army less than twenty miles east of him, and he had been secretly stared at by the little eunuch, and he knew when and where to rest and when to pull out the camp.

That's right, at this time, the little eunuch was also resting on the bank of the Tuxiao River, but nearly twenty miles away in the northeast, the Tuxiao River did not flow east-west but northeast and southwest, so although the little eunuch fell behind him for more than ten miles, he could always take a draught in a river.

If Chang Yu could surpass the Qing army, there would be no need to use troops again, but he still couldn't outrun the Qing army with all his strength, after all, the soldiers and horses were too tired, and even if they exceeded for a while, they would be caught up, so he had to use other methods.

This method is to fight a battle, and let the two battalions under his command entangle the vanguard of the Qing army to cover him to take the first step, but why didn't he do it for a long time?

Jia Waixiong asked Chang Yu more than once, but in fact, he was weak, the military horses were too tired, but people couldn't run away, wouldn't it be looking for death, so they had to rest and replenish their strength.

There is another reason, Chang Yu wants to let him run farther, the farther away from the main force of the Qing army behind, the higher the safety factor, and the greater the chance of Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu's survival.

"But if the Tartar runs all the way like this, we won't have a chance to fight if we can't catch up," said Guo Ren, who was worried.

"There is a chance" Chang Yu said with certainty: "Tartar will not run as hard as we do, and will definitely find a chance."

"When you cross the Yellow River?" The people knew that they had entered Binzhou at this time, and the Yellow River was dozens of miles ahead.

Chang Yu shook his head lightly: "If we cross the Yellow River, we really won't have a chance, let alone fighting with others, I'm afraid we won't even be able to see the tail lights!" ”

Although a few people didn't know what the taillights were, they understood what they meant.

"So whether this thing works out or not depends on the will of God?" Lao Jiu spread his hands.

"That's right" Chang Yu looked up at the starlight in the night sky and said lightly: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil, but he believes in the destiny of heaven."

It was the destiny of heaven for the little eunuch to cross over, so he believed it, so he also waited for the opportunity, and when the vanguard of the Qing army camped on the bank of the Tuxiao River more than 20 miles southwest without collecting the report at night, he knew that it was time.

"Are you sure the Tartars are going to camp for the night?" Chang Yu was a little nervous and asked the spy excitedly.

"Unloading the saddle and removing the armor must be a big rest" The spies are experienced and meticulously observant.

"Very good" Chang Yu waved his fist: "Just him here!" ”

"Let's do it, factory father" Lao Jiu and Jia Waixiong were even more excited, and they were about to greet the guys, but they saw Chang Yu looking at them like fools: "Aren't you two tired?" ”

"It's okay, it's just that the crotch of the pants is a little painful" Lao Jiu and Jia Waixiong shook their bodies.

"Aren't horses tired?" Chang Yu asked again, the two of them rubbed their noses very embarrassed, at this time everyone was tired, let alone fighting, if they could run to someone's house, they would probably have to lie on the ground and pant for breath, and they were still beaten, and they didn't have the strength to run.

"Eat and drink enough and go to bed immediately!" Chang Yu gave a military order to all the soldiers.
