Li Yi suppressed the turmoil in his stomach and kept looking for something among the corpses.

At this time, a burly man covered in blood crawled out from the pile of dead people. When he saw Li Yi in front of him, he raised the blade in his hand and rushed over.

The injured man moved very slowly, but Li Yi effortlessly dodged and grabbed him, kicking him to the ground.

The big man roared angrily and wanted to get up to fight, but a flashing sword was pressed against his neck.

"Tell me, where is Tabai?" Li Yi asked.

The big man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said: "Grandpa is Tabai. You despicable villains, if you have the ability to fight with me and hurt people with firearms, what kind of men are you?"

A smile finally appeared on Li Yi's face. He did not answer, but said to the soldiers behind him: "Tie him up."

Then he added, "Stop his mouth."

Tabai was injured and had no strength at all. As soon as he tried to struggle, he was pushed to the ground by the soldiers and tied tightly.

"You bastards, I'm going to kill you all." Tabai was still roaring.

Li Yi stepped forward and kicked him in the mouth, breaking Tabai's teeth immediately. His mouth was full of blood and he kept struggling.

"Tabai, can't you see the form clearly now?" Li Yi said sharply.

Tabai laughed with blood in his mouth and said: "Ignorant boy, if you can, kill me, otherwise I will skin you, remove your bones, and torture you to death."

Li Yi smiled coldly and said: "Don't you just want me to kill you? Don't worry, not only will I not kill you, I will also dedicate you to the emperor. By then, you will have the emperor whether you are alive or dead.

Your Majesty decides."

"You bastard, kill me quickly." Hearing that he was going to be sacrificed to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ta Bai was furious and struggled desperately.

At this time, the soldiers stuffed a bead into his mouth and tied his mouth with a cloth strip to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide.

Looking at Tabai being taken down, Li Yi's eyes showed a trace of pity.

The shame of a soldier is to be captured. Now that Tabai is caught by himself, there will be no more glory waiting for him. The civil servants in the court know best how to drain the value out of him and turn him into a wretch.

, and became a victim of the imperial court's authority.

"Hurry up, Tabai's reinforcements will follow soon." Li Yi shouted to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers trembled, looking at the corpses on the ground, their hands holding weapons trembling, they could only grit their teeth, close their eyes, and walk up.

"Bang bang..." The gong sounded, and Tabai's follow-up reinforcements had arrived.

As the five hundred cavalry were annihilated by Li Yi, Tabai's reinforcements only had 600 infantry. They did not know that Tabai had been defeated. Instead, when they saw the city gate open, they thought Tabai had already entered the city and robbed Dalinghe City.

.

Just as they were rushing towards the city gate, suddenly groups of Ming troops came out of the city gate. They piled heads one by one at the city gate, forming a landscape in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the piled heads, the infantry soldiers who stopped looked at them one after another. Looking at the blood-stained heads, they could still recognize who their masters were.

"It's President Bai, it's President Bai's head."

"Baturle, there is his head on it."

"They all followed Mr. Liu into the city, why are their heads here now?"

The infantry soldiers watched in horror as the familiar faces were now turned into cold heads, piled together.

In the panic of the infantry soldiers, the gunmen quickly lined up in two rows. They held the muskets and looked at the infantry soldiers in front of them with excitement. They felt that the blood in their whole bodies was boiling, and their whole bodies seemed to be extremely skilled.

of excitement.

"put……"

With an order, a series of roars sounded, and accompanied by fire, a hail of bullets enveloped the infantry on the opposite side, shooting down a large number of them immediately.

The infantry soldiers were startled by this sudden attack. They retreated one after another and looked around at a loss.

In order to quickly seize Dalinghe City, Tabai brought all the elite soldiers to the city, but now they have turned into corpses. Without the pressure of Tabai and the elite Yala soldiers, the infantry and unarmored soldiers retreated step by step. They

At that time, it was understood that all the cavalry led by Tabai had died in the city, so the Ming army could rush out of the city.

The general was killed in battle and all their elite troops were lost. They knew that they had no chance of winning, so they suddenly became timid and kept retreating.

"Don't retreat, rush forward and fight with the Ming army's gunmen." Some generals of the Later Jin Dynasty tried to boost morale.

The harsh military law caused the infantry soldiers to rush towards the Ming army's gunmen, but the Ming army's gunmen kept shooting at them. After losing more than a hundred people, the demoralized infantry soldiers finally reached their limit. Some people started to

Escape.

One person ran away, and others followed. The few remaining Yala soldiers quickly stopped him. The infantry soldiers had no fighting spirit at all, their morale was low, and their formation became chaotic.

At this time, Li Yi keenly grasped the opportunity of fighting and led a group of cavalry to rush out from behind the gunmen and charge towards the infantry.

The infantry without cavalry was suddenly broken out of formation by the cavalry led by Li Yi. The Eight Banners soldiers, who had been panicking and timid for a long time, had no determination to resist and turned around to escape. However, they could not escape the pursuit of the cavalry. Finally, after the pursuit of five soldiers,

A few miles away, the last group of infantry soldiers was killed in the wilderness by the cavalry led by Wang Wu.

Returning to Dalinghe City, Li Yi climbed onto the city wall, and Liu Zhi and a group of soldiers quickly surrounded him.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Yi smiled and said: "Tabai has been captured alive, and the remaining Donglu soldiers have been killed."

Hearing Li Yi's words, Liu Zhi and all the soldiers were immediately overjoyed.

"Zizheng, you have made great achievements again this time." Liu Zhi said happily.

Li Yi said: "This time, we all worked together to capture Tabai and annihilate Tabai's army."

Hearing that Li Yi did not intend to monopolize the credit, all the sergeants smiled. They did not expect to be credited with great achievements, they only hoped that the merits they had made could be presented to the court in their original form and receive rewards.

Wang Wu, who was covered in blood, laughed loudly and said: "Li Yi just killed Bak's relatives a few days ago, and now he has captured Ta Bai. Two generations of the Aixinjueluo family have been lost in the hands of Li Yi alone.

It’s really a great achievement.”

Li Yi said with a wry smile: "It's not that I want to make meritorious deeds, it's just that the situation forced me to do so."

Hearing Li Yi's words, everyone laughed.

Now that the Tabai Army has been wiped out, there is no crisis in Dalinghe City, and the soldiers and civilians in the city are rejoicing.

Liu Zhi led a few people to set off firecrackers and took out the wine and meat that President Han Qian had accumulated before. A group of soldiers drank happily and were very happy.

Li Yi didn't stop him when he saw it. Although the defense of the city went very smoothly this time, it was precisely because it was so smooth that the pressure in everyone's hearts needed to be released.

After drinking two bowls with the soldiers, Li Yi quietly left and arranged for sentries to stand guard.

On the other side, Zu Dale was protected by his bodyguards, crossed the Daling River, and fled directly to Jinzhou City.

When Yuan Chonghuan saw Zu Dale, who was covered in blood and seriously injured, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Zu Dashou, who was next to him, quickly stepped forward to support Yuan Chonghuan, looked at his cousin with cold eyes, and shouted angrily: "What the hell is going on? You are leading elite soldiers, how can you be defeated by Ta Bai?"

Zu Dale knelt on the ground with a pale face and cried: "I am guilty, and I deserve to die." When I arrived at Dalinghe City that day, I planned to defeat Tabai's army with one blow and kill him.

Bai, but he didn’t expect to fall into Ta Bai’s trick of luring the enemy. Later, he was instigated by President Han Qian and Wang Zhi to leave the city and attack Ta Bai, and then the entire army was wiped out..."

Zu Dale cried bitterly and told what happened. Except for the command error in the first battle, there was no excuse for it. Later, when he went out of the city to fight, he pushed all the responsibilities for the annihilation of the entire army to Wang Zhi and General Han Qian.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Zu Dale with sharp eyes. He had been in the officialdom for a long time, and of course he understood that what Zu Dale said was not true. But now that all the soldiers in Dalinghe City have been wiped out, how to defend Dalinghe City is the most important thing.

of.

After calming down, Yuan Chonghuan closed his eyes in pain and said: "I already know, you go down to recuperate first."

When Zu Dalue heard this, he immediately kowtowed and was helped away.

Zu Dashou looked at his cousin and glared at him with hatred, but after he left, he still said in a low voice: "Master Bu Tang, Zu Dalue's poor command is naturally his fault, but Mr. Han Qian

Wang Zhi's instigation from the outside was also the main reason for the defeat. I also ask the ministers to investigate clearly and give Zu Dalue a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds."

Yuan Chonghuan opened his eyes and looked at Zu Dashou without speaking.

Zu Dashou lowered his head in Yuan Chonghuan's gaze and did not dare to continue talking.

It took a long time before Yuan Chonghuan said: "We will discuss the issue of Zu Dale later. Now that Wang Zhi has been killed, General Han Qian's life and death are unknown, and all the soldiers in Dalinghe City have been wiped out by the three of them, the situation is already very critical.

, what should we do next?”

After hearing this, Zu Dashou immediately said: "Daling River City is the gateway to Jinzhou, and there is no room for failure. Please give the order, sir, and the general will lead his troops to rescue."

Seeing that Zu Dashou was willing to take responsibility in critical moments, Yuan Chonghuan looked better and nodded: "In that case, you should seize the time to send troops. Daling River City is very important and cannot be lost."
