"Lord Yu, the spies have come to report, Chen Lang, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, led 30,000 horses to leave Dengzhou City this morning and march in the direction of Qingzhou, and it is expected to enter the boundary of Qingzhou tomorrow morning and arrive in Qingzhou City in the evening."

When Li Yuntian was looking through the "Historical Records" in the wing room of the mansion, a martial arts instructor from the martial arts hall hurriedly came to give a report.

"Probe!" Li Yuntian said without raising his head.

Hearing this, the martial arts instructor arched his hand at Li Yuntian and walked away quickly.

At dinner, the spies on Le'an's side also came with the news that Yang Yong had left Le'an with 30,000 horses as a pioneer.

After learning this information, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and he took a heavy bite of the bread in his mouth and chewed it hard.

King Han was not with Yang Yong, which was undoubtedly good news for him, and it seemed that King Han had fallen for his plan to lure the enemy.

To tell the truth, the reason why Li Yuntian divided his troops to Donglin County was to deliberately put on the illusion that he was going to fight a war of attrition with the King of Han, and with the ability of the King of Han, he could definitely detect his intentions and then respond.

According to Li Yuntian's understanding of the King of Han, the King of Han will definitely target the reinforcements of Jinan City, because as long as the reinforcements of Jinan City are eliminated, then Jinan City will become his bag.

Correspondingly, the forces in the hands of the King of Han were also divided into three parts, one part in Jingzhou City, one part in Donglin County, and the other part was ambushed by the King of Han to ambush the reinforcements in Jinan City.

In this way, the rebel forces facing Li Yuntian will be reduced, which will give him a chance to break the enemy.

After dinner, Li Yuntian gathered the thousands of households in the city together to discuss the matter, there were more than 12,000 people in the Xiaowu Army, and there were 12 thousand households, who were the highest military attachés of the Xiaowu Army in addition to Li Yuntian, and were directly under the command of Li Yuntian.

"This official has decided to set off overnight to set up an ambush in Heihugou and attack the rebels who came from Dengzhou City." In front of all the military attachés, Li Yuntian pointed to a location on the east side of Dengzhou City on the map, and said with a stern expression.

"What?" The military attaches couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, as if they couldn't believe what Li Yuntian said, with their little bit of people, they also wanted to ambush Chen Lang's 30,000 people? It sounds a little unbelievable, if Chen Lang leads the army to fight a counterattack, they will be wiped out.

"If the official didn't guess wrong, the King of Han had fallen for the official's strategy and wanted to take the opportunity to eat the reinforcements of Jinan City, so he would not send the main force to Qingzhou City, and Chen Lang did not have the ability to attack the city, so he would let Chen Lang besiege Qingzhou City without attacking, so Chen Lang would definitely slack off, and then gave us a chance."

Li Yuntian glanced around at the military attache at the scene, and explained in a deep voice, "This official is going to leave two thousand troops to defend the city, and the rest of the people will follow this official to set up an ambush together. ”

"This official has decided that all the soldiers who died in this battle will be given a pension of 20 taels of silver, and the disabled who cannot join the army will be 15 taels, and will return to their hometowns to recuperate, and the household registration of the two will be transferred to the Jingshi Lecture Hall, and the official will not be conscripted from it within ten years, and the military land planted as a pension grain will not be collected by the official."

Subsequently, Li Yuntian turned around and said loudly, "In addition, those who have made military contributions will be transferred to the camp on the outskirts of Jiangwutang and officially become a member of Jiangwutang." ”

No one thought that Li Yuntian would actually formulate such a generous pension system and reward system, which undoubtedly dispelled the soldiers' worries and gave them the opportunity to enter the martial arts hall on an errand.

Everyone knows that Emperor Xuande attaches great importance to the martial arts hall, and he will definitely benefit a lot after becoming a martial arts speaker.

In fact, Li Yuntian is also helpless, now is the critical period of the Ming army's life and death in Shandong, if the rebels can not be counterattacked, then the situation in Shandong will take a sharp turn, and the Han King will take advantage of the situation to sweep the Ming army on the border of Shandong.

Therefore, in order to succeed in the raid on Dengzhou City this time, Li Yuntian specially promised a generous pension system and reward system, as long as he can win this battle, then Emperor Xuande will definitely admit this account.

At midnight, under the cover of the quiet night, the east gate of Qingzhou City quietly opened. [34115671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 341 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 344

Li Yuntian led the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army, and the light car Jane went out of the city from the east gate, and soon disappeared into the night "color" on the way to Dengzhou City.

According to Li Yuntian's instructions, the next day the two imposed martial law in Qingzhou City on the grounds that the rebels were coming, and the four gates were closed tightly to cut off contact with the outside world, so as to prevent the news of Li Yuntian and the others from leaving from leaking.

Heihugou is a steep mountainous terrain located in the eastern part of Qingzhou City, a must-pass place from Dengzhou to Qingzhou, with rolling mountains on both sides of the road, which is very suitable for ambushes.

After the rapid march, in the early morning of the next day, Li Yuntian led the Xiaowu army to Heihugou, and after arranging the ambush, the soldiers ate the dry food they carried with them, and then lay on the ground to make up for sleep.

Li Yuntian calculated the speed of Chen Lang and his party, if they wanted to have lunch, they had to cross the Black Tiger Ditch, because the terrain of the Black Tiger Ditch was not suitable for burying the pot to make rice.

Since he didn't sleep, Li Yuntian quickly fell asleep in the tent and hurried to catch up on sleep.

Near noon, Li Yuntian, who was asleep, was woken up, and according to the spies sent out, Chen Lang and his party were less than five miles away from Heihugou at this time.

Moreover, Li Yuntian got a good news, because Chen Lang did not expect that Li Yuntian would take the initiative to go out of the city to fight back, so he did not send a pioneer to explore the way, which undoubtedly made Li Yuntian a lot less trouble.

The sleeping soldiers were woken up one after another, and after simply eating dry food, they entered their respective ambush areas, quietly waiting for the arrival of Chen Lang and his party.

With the help of the guards around him and the instructors of the martial arts hall, Li Yuntian changed into his fish scale armor that looked a little bulky, the so-called sword has no eyes, he better be careful.

To be honest, although Chen Lang brought 30,000 horses this time, Li Yuntian really didn't take it seriously.

In order to fight against the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, the king of Han has transferred the elite troops of Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion to Dezhou City, so most of Chen Lang's men are temporarily recruited military households and civilian households, it seems that there are many people, but in fact, they are just acting as a façade, defending the city is okay, and it is absolutely useless in the field, after all, some people don't even have decent weapons in their hands, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined.

After wearing the fish scale armor, Li Yuntian took a gold-handled golden sheath from the hand of a personal guard, and the sheath was engraved with an embroidered spring knife with a three-clawed python, and with a strong hand, the blade was pulled out of the scabbard, and a chill suddenly rushed towards him.

This embroidered spring knife with a golden handle and golden sheath was given to Li Yuntian by Emperor Xuande when the martial arts hall was established, and it was made of stainless steel and was particularly sharp.

One side of the handle of the knife is engraved with a three-clawed python flying in the air, and on the other side is engraved the three big characters of "Jiangwutang", and there is a smaller word "total" on the lower right side of the three big characters of "Jiangwutang", which represents that Li Yuntian is the chief instructor of Jiangwutang.

In addition to Li Yuntian's embroidered spring knife is a gold-handled gold sheath, the embroidered spring knife of the instructor of the lecture hall is a gold-handled silver sheath, and the student's embroidered spring knife is a silver-handled silver sheath.

Moreover, only Li Yuntian's embroidered spring knife is engraved with a three-clawed python, and the instructor and students are flying fish, the small characters on the handle of the instructor's embroidered spring knife are "teach", and the small characters on the handle of the students' embroidered spring knife are "learn".

Not only that, on the handle of the instructors and students, the lower right side of the "lecture martial arts" is the word "teaching" or "learning" that represents their identity, and the lower left side is also engraved with the year, month and day, which is the time when they obtained the embroidered spring knife, and next to the year, month and day is the number of Arabic numerals, corresponding to their individuals.

Since the students have not yet graduated, they are not yet eligible to receive the embroidered spring knife of the lecture hall, and the ordinary embroidered spring knife hanging on their waists is the same as that of Jinyiwei.

Glancing at the sharp blade of the embroidered spring knife, Li Yuntian "inserted" the knife back into the scabbard with some regret, he wanted to carry this embroidered spring knife into battle to kill the enemy, but there were hundreds of guards around him plus instructors and students in the martial arts hall, and it was not his turn to go out.

Besides, if it was really his turn to carry the embroidered spring knife to kill the enemy, it would definitely not be a good memory.

"My lord, the vanguard team of the rebels has entered the Black Tiger Gully!" Not long after, a sergeant hurriedly walked in, bowed his hand at Li Yuntian, and replied in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian took a deep breath when he heard this, walked towards a hill on the side, lay in the grass on the mountain and looked down, only to see a long line coming from the road at the foot of the mountain in the distance, the formation was scattered, the voice was noisy, and the people in the team were talking nonsense.

Some sergeants on horseback ran back and forth in front of the line, cursing and urging the soldiers to go quickly, and to give the soldiers who did not like it a few whips.

"A rabble!" Looking at that team, Li Yuntian secretly shook his head in his heart, if the army of the Ming Dynasty became like this, then how to fight in the future.

For the Ming army ambushed on the hills on both sides of the road, the rebels on the march were not aware of it at all, and they were now more concerned about burying pots and cooking after crossing the Black Tiger Ditch, filling their stomachs and resting at the same time.

"Is that person Chen Lang?" After about a cup of tea, a group of people on horseback at the foot of the mountain in the distance appeared in Li Yuntian's sight, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a middle-aged man dressed as a military attache of the third grade surrounded by everyone, and asked a hundred households beside him.

"My lord, this person is Chen Lang." The Baihu is a person from Shandong Dusi, and he has dealt with Chen Lang a lot, and Li Yuntian specially asked him to recognize people this time.

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, now in wartime, Chen Lang was wearing an official robe instead of armor, which shows how sloppy and careless he is, which is also destined for him to be planted in Heihugou this time.

"Pass on the officer's military order, beat the drum!" After Chen Lang led the rebels into the ambush circle set up by Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian turned his head and gave an order to the heralds waiting on the side in a deep voice.

The herald then turned to a mountain in the distance, raised the flag in his hand and gestured, and conveyed Li Yuntian's instructions to the people on the mountain in the language of the flag.

A moment later, a low and majestic drum beat came from the top of that mountain, and in an instant, it spread throughout the entire Black Tiger Valley.

Hearing the sound of drums, the marching rebel team involuntarily stopped, subconsciously looking around, curiously looking for the source of the drums
