Liu Zhilun had confidence in himself, believing that it was enough to leave the infantry to defend the city, as long as half of the cavalry was left in case of accidents.

He asked his henchmen, Liu Quan and Liu He, the generals of the Ding family, to bring fifty families, and half of the cavalry of the Fubiao battalion to go out of the customs with Lou Yun.

Today's Liu Zhilun is more confident, because he has received the emperor's will, and he can act cheaply on how to deal with the "Red Flag Army".

He had already sent Wu Yinglong, the commander of the Fubiao battalion, to personally go to the Santun camp to transfer troops, and he was going to pick up the troops to be mobilized, and he was ready to pull another one or two thousand cavalry and three or four thousand infantry to Daankou to stand by.

Liu Zhilun was just in case, if Huang Han was surrounded by Tartars outside the pass, he could concentrate three or two thousand cavalry in his hands to help more or less.

He is now not afraid that the court will be held accountable for the loss of troops and horses out of the customs, so he sent 400 men and horses to go out of the customs with Jinyiwei.

Even if these people may encounter fierce battles with the Tartars, they will not hesitate to suffer heavy losses, as long as they can get accurate information about the "Red Banner Army" and know their location, it is a victory.

The four hundred and forty-seven horsemen who went out of the customs were all selected good horses, and even the spare horses they carried were full of horsepower, but they were unlucky and as soon as they got out of the customs, heavy snow began to fall.

After walking for a day and half a day, more than a dozen brocade guards began to complain, they decided to go out of the customs to kill the enemy with a bloody nature, who knew that the enemy did not see only the snow-capped world was vast.

These brocade guards have serious insomnia at night, and now they are cold and sleepy, they didn't expect that it is not enough to be bloody when they go out to fight, and they have to suffer hardship!

In less than two days, their enthusiasm for serving the country and killing the enemy faded, and they turned from full of hope to regret their mistakes.

Liu Quan and Liu He's mental state is much better, which is completely the result of hard training every day for nearly a year.

The hard-working border army is of course not the same as the pampered Jinyi guard.

Seeing that his brothers couldn't even compare to Liu Zhilun's Fubiao camp, Lou Yun was extremely depressed, and scolded: "You unproductive things, look at you bears with shrunken necks, I knew that the official wouldn't take you out to be embarrassed." ”

Zhang Chao, the little flag officer, was a man, and he said loudly: "My lord, it is recommended to let those brothers who can't endure hardships go back to Guancheng, after all, this is not their task, let's only take the heroes who are willing to follow to kill the Tartars." ”

Lou Yun said: "Zhang Xiaoqi is right, only the brothers who are consciously willing will take the initiative to rush forward when they go to the battlefield, such a robe can be trusted, and now the official orders ......"

Lou Yun knew too much about the temperament of his commander-in-chief, and he named eighteen people by name, so that a little flag officer whose face seemed to be bruised from the cold took them back to Da'ankou.

The named Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Officer wanted to defend himself, but his lips moved but he held back.

He also wants to be a hero, but he really can't stand the pain of camping in the wild in the cold winter of flying snow.

His physique is so poor that he couldn't sleep at all after freezing all night yesterday, and his snot kept flowing, and he had some doubts that if he camped like this again tonight, he would be frozen to death?

Lou Yun looked at the others and emphasized: "You're welcome if you don't get your name, what this official wants is to follow voluntarily, don't hold on to it if you have a trace of reluctance, no one will laugh at you, because you are not a border army, and you don't belong here." ”

Three more Jinyi guards decided to give up, and they joined the group back to Da'ankou, and two captains looked hesitant, but they finally gritted their teeth and held back.

Jinyiwei can choose to give up, Liu Zhilun's Fubiao battalion does not have this problem, if someone dares to turn back at this time, the military judge does not even need to interrogate, he can escape from the battle and kill him directly.

Half of the Jinyiwei didn't stick to it, Lou Yun was not surprised at all, the last time he participated in the battle was in the Guannei, and only he, You Cunqing, Ai Guodong and other four people volunteered to follow Li Ruolian to kill the enemy, and now the environment is much worse than then, and half of them have exceeded expectations if they don't give up.

After eliminating the more than 20 brocade guards who were not firm, more than 400 men and horses camped for another day, and then went on the road early the next morning.

Stopping under the snow is tiresome, and although Lou Yun and his party have two horses, they only walk seventy or eighty miles a day.

In the afternoon, the snowflakes were flying all over the sky again, and Lou Yun, Liu Quan, and Liu He were all scolding God for not opening their eyes and deliberately making trouble for them.

Suddenly, Zhang Chao said: "Your Excellency, be quiet, you pay attention and listen, there seems to be a sound." ”

Lou Yun immediately listened carefully, Zhang Chao might have heard better than ordinary people, he laughed out loud and said, "My lord, it's singing, it's many, many people singing, and it's Chinese." ”

Many people are singing Han songs, which of course means that there are their own people in front, who will appear in the Karaqin steppe in this icy winter, there is no doubt that it must be the "Red Flag Army".

More than 400 Ming troops were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they rode forward, closer, closer, and the singing was already clearly recognizable, "Snowflakes fluttering, the north wind is Xiaoxiao, and the world is vast......"

Zhang Chao sighed sincerely: "This song is so good. ”

Lou Yun also exclaimed: "Good songs, good lyrics, good songs, haha, this may be another masterpiece of General Huang, we must learn to go back to Beijing to show off." ”

The Jinyi guard under his command immediately said: "Of course, General Huang's song is a song that must be sung by the red sisters in every courtyard of the Beijing Division." ”

More than 400 double cavalry cavalry approached the source of the song, and Lou Yun and Zhang Chao were all dumbfounded.

In front of him is a large camp, in which the singing is loud, hundreds of thousands of Han men and women are singing while building yurts, dozens of yurts have been built in the heat is rising, and the air is wafting with the aroma of roast mutton.

Seeing the wordless red flag flying high above the camp, Lou Yun couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic acid in his nose at this moment, and his subordinates were already cheering and thundering, and the cavalry of the Fubiao battalion stepped forward one after another.

As soon as he approached the camp, he heard the sentry shouting loudly and asking, "Who is coming?" Do not approach! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences. ”

Lou Yun and the others immediately stopped the horse, Liu Quan dismounted and stepped forward and said loudly: "This official is Liu Quan, the official of the Shuntian Governor Biaoying Thousand Households, who came to answer General Huang on the order of the Governor, and has official documents and tokens as evidence. ”

Immediately, three people in the camp ran out to inspect it, and after a while, the camp gate opened, and Zhao Kun, who was in charge of setting up a transit camp here, came to greet him with a general flag bird.

Zhao Kun is educated and willing to study, is the number two person in the firearms unit, and is now the general manager who has tried thousands of households from five grades.

There is only one general flag bird and one general flag junior soldier, and the rest of the armed personnel are all improvised Han self-defense forces, numbering 500 and holding ash poles and spears.
