It was almost late at night, and the night wind was very cold and a bit wet. It blew on the body, making people feel very uncomfortable.

A breeze passed by, bringing up a lot of moisture on the ground, and Shuo Tuo couldn't help but shiver instinctively.

"This is such a bad weather, damn it, do you also want to go against the second master?"

Shuotuo spat hard, walked to a big rock in front of him, and took a big gulp of wine.

The spicy taste of alcohol swirled in the five internal organs, and a burst of heat couldn't help but rise from the chest and abdomen. Only then did Shuo Tuo feel better.

He stepped hard on the big stone with one foot and looked towards the direction of Fuzhou City in the distance.

Perhaps it was caused by today's flood. There is some fog tonight. Although the moon is still clear, looking at Fuzhou City, which is clear during the day, is somewhat shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a legendary fairyland.

"Li Yuanqing, a bastard, knows how to play tricks. You despicable idiot, just wait. Sooner or later, you will fall into the hands of the second master. The second master will keep it for you to try the second master's methods."

Shuotuo took another big gulp of wine and burped in great displeasure.

As the direct bloodline of Lao Nu, Shuotuo's status can be said to be quite noble, and his family has endless glory.

But Shuotuo understood deeply that the family's glory had nothing to do with him.

This was all created by his Amma and eldest brother.

In Shenyang, when others heard about Shuotuo, they would respectfully call him "Second Master". At first, Shuotuo felt that he was very dignified.

But slowly, he understood that the respect of others was not for him, but because he had his Amma and Big Brother behind him.

I don’t know since when, Shuotuo hated being called ‘Second Master’, instead of directly calling his eldest brother ‘Master’ like other slaves.

Although he and his eldest brother Yue Tuo are both Beizi, it's just that he, as a Bei Zi, is really not good enough compared to his eldest brother, the flag bearer with a red flag.

This time, he followed his father Daishan on an expedition to southern Liaoning. Originally, Shuotuo was planning to fight a big battle and kill everyone, so that he could kill Li Yuanqing with his own hands. This time, not only could he become a banner leader, but he was

The position within the red flag is basically guaranteed.

But who would have thought that Lao Ba, with more than 50 Niu Lu's main forces of various banners and tens of thousands of troops, would lose consecutive battles, and he could not even touch the gate of Fuzhou City?

Let’s talk about how to kill Li Yuanqing?

Now, even the floods are of no use, and the army is about to return. How can Shuo Tuo, who is full of ambitions, accept this?

Feeling extremely depressed, Shuotuo kept drinking wine. After a while, he was already 70-80% drunk. He stood on a big stone with both feet and his body was swaying as if he was about to fall.

"Well."

Shuotuo burped in frustration and murmured: "You guys, it's best to open your eyes to the Second Master. Sooner or later, the Second Master will let you see who is the real warrior of Daikin...

…”

As Shuo Tuo said this, he swayed and almost made his way to the bottom of the mountain. He was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

He didn't dare to push himself any further, so he hurriedly carefully climbed down the rocks and prepared to go back to the tent to sleep. In his dream, he was thinking about a good way to clean up Li Yuanqing and make great achievements by stepping on his body.

Only in dreams can he feel extremely happy.

At this time, Shuotuo suddenly felt his eyes flicker, as if several human-shaped black shadows flashed past his eyes.

It's past time for this person to be fooling around. How could there be anyone in the muddy ground at the foot of the mountain?

Shuo Tuo quickly rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked down carefully.

Could it be a slave on night watch?

No way, who among the night watch slaves would foolishly run into the cold, wet mud soup?

But at this time, Shuotuo took a closer look and found that the figure at the foot of the mountain had disappeared and could not be found again.

"Crap. Is it a ghost? It's best to have a female ghost to relieve the second master's boredom." Shuo Tuo spat irritably and was about to turn around and walk back.

But at this time, he saw a human figure again, and it wasn't just one figure, it seemed like a large one.

These dark figures seemed to be smeared with mud sauce. They kept lowering their bodies and walked along a small depression in the south. In addition, it was foggy tonight, so it was difficult to distinguish them without looking carefully.

This, what the hell is this?

But just as Shuotuo was stunned, fire suddenly appeared at the bottom of the mountain. In a moment, "bang bang bang", a burst of chirping of bird guns broke the quiet night.

For a moment, someone shouted in Chinese below: "Kill the Tatars. The nobles of Houjin are all on the mountain, don't let them escape."

After a while, there was another burst of bird gunfire, which in this quiet night sky was almost shattering Shuo Tuo's eardrums.

No matter how slow Shuotuo was, he finally reacted and couldn't help shouting: "It's not good, Ming Gouzi has stolen the camp. It's not good..."

Following Shuotuo's shout, for a moment, chaos broke out in the direction of the Golden King's tents behind the mountain top.

…………

At this time, at the foot of the mountain, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan's two large and small troops, nearly 5,500 people, had successfully broken through the barrier of the muddy ground, avoided the eyes of the Hou Jin defenders, and successfully assaulted the hill.

"The 1,000 Corps rushes forward, rush forward quickly, don't let the Tatar dignitaries escape. The 2,000 Corps, and the 3,000 Corps are ready to respond. Hurry up."

In the mud at the foot of the mountain, Li Yuanqing shouted loudly.

Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan were also shouting loudly, directing the people from their headquarters to come forward immediately.

Preparations started in the afternoon, and as soon as it got dark, Li Yuanqing took action.

However, in order to avoid Hou Jin's eyes and ears, the men all left the city through the west gate. They were covered in mud, had to travel a long way, and spent a lot of effort to force themselves to the south of the hill.

In this situation, if you want to take down the Houjin royal family in one go, according to the little devil, you have to 'enter the village secretly and don't shoot anyone.'

However, although Li Yuanqing's three troops had nearly 5,500 soldiers, the camp of Hou Jin's main force was just two miles east of the hill.

Although there was mud blocking the way, the mud was not too deep at this time, and Li Yuanqing could not guarantee whether it would cause the horses to become hoofed.

In such a state, although the royal family of Houjin is tempting, it is more practical to kill Houjin's effective forces, create chaos, and destroy Houjin's command system.

Otherwise, if Hou Jin's command system cannot be directly defeated and they start to organize an effective counterattack, the outcome will be unpredictable.

"Come on, hurry up, rush on."

Li Yuanqing kept shouting loudly and guiding the people around him, and the men behind him rushed forward quickly.

Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde and nearly a hundred soldiers have gathered around Li Yuanqing to firmly protect Li Yuanqing's safety.

Next to them, the soldiers of Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan also followed up to protect their general.

"Bang bang bang."

With the continuous sound of gunfire, the vanguard of the Ming army quickly broke through the first line of defense of the Hou Jin army at the foot of the mountain and went straight up the mountain.

This is mainly because the hill is almost unsafe to defend.

Hou Jin's wishful thinking was that the flood could directly destroy Fuzhou City.

After the plan failed, they planned to return tomorrow and did not set up much defense force at the bottom of the hill.

After all, the royal tents of the four Houjin banners are all here, and the camp is nearby. Who dares to turn a blind eye and come here to cause trouble?

But at this time, Li Yuanqing took advantage of the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and insisted on extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth, completely catching Houjin off guard.

At such a close range, prepared and unprepared, the Ming army, or to be precise, the cannon soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion, had an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

The Houjin archers were unable to mount effective resistance at all, so they could only fight and retreat towards the mountain.

"Xun Meng, take people to the right. Chen Changyou, take people to the left. Quick, don't let the Tatars run away. Hahaha."

Seeing that the situation was completely under the control of the Ming army, Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing and felt extremely happy.

He quickly came to Li Yuanqing's side and laughed loudly: "Yuan Qing, if everything goes smoothly, in less than half an hour, we will be able to take full control of the initiative and capture Huang Taiji alive."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother, you need to know that one of the three is missing. I will lead people to surround the east and north. You guard here and let them run to the south."

To the east is the direction of the Hou Jin camp, which is also the direction most vulnerable to invasion by the main force of the Hou Jin army. Li Yuanqing naturally wants to take on this important task.

Chen Zhong said hurriedly: "Yuan Qing, it's better for me to go to the east. You can take care of the overall situation here."

The ground underfoot was so muddy at this time. Although the camp of Hou Jin's main force was just two miles away, it was obviously not that easy for them to get over.

Li Yuanqing and the others were fully prepared. They had put hay on their shoes. They walked less than four miles and walked for nearly three hours. If the main force of Houjin rushed over in a hurry, they would definitely suffer.

Chen Zhong knew what he was doing, and it was completely true.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "That's fine. Brother, be careful and don't be impulsive and focus on killing the living forces of the Tatars."

Chen Zhong laughed loudly, "Don't worry, Yuan Qing, brother knows what's going on. By the way, the pockets in the south must be packed. It's best to catch a few big fish."

After Chen Zhong finished speaking, he hurried toward the east with his personal barracks, five or six generals, and more than a thousand troops.

Zhang Pan also rushed over at this time. Although he wanted to catch big fish in the south pocket, at this time, this was the achievement of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong. Naturally, he could not covet it. He hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, I

The three hundred men on the side are all elite, but they can still defend one side."

The pre-war deployment was that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong guarded two sides, and Zhang Pan was responsible for providing support in the center and acting as a reserve team to see where the Jin nobles would break through and come to block the gap.

But at this time, the situation of the Ming army was so smooth. Looking at the troop deployment of the Jin army near the hill, it was probably less than a thousand men.

Although they all have horses, the Ming army's cannon soldiers have blocked the most critical gaps on the way down the mountain. They are trapped on the mountain. If they rush out on horseback, they are seeking death.

Li Yuanqing knew that Zhang Pan was eager to make meritorious deeds, but at this time, he was not sure from which side Huang Taiji would break out.

With Zhang Pan's small force, if the Hou Jin Army really encountered a breakthrough, it would be difficult for him to stop it.

"Brother Zhang, you go to the south. I'll maintain the situation here and go there right away." Li Yuanqing quickly made a decision.

In this situation, there is no point in competing for credit.

If Zhang Pan really has such luck, Li Yuanqing will be happy to help him.

However, looking at this situation, the Hou Jin army has been surrounded on the mountain and may not be able to get down immediately.

Who can accomplish this great feat depends entirely on Huang Taiji's choice.

Hearing that Li Yuanqing actually asked him to go south, Zhang Pan couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Yuanqing, my brother will always remember your kindness."

He hugged Li Yuanqing hard and rushed south with his troops.
