Chapter 9 A stone kills one's life

It will take half a night to follow this army.

Seeing that the sky was about to light up, Zhao Yu really didn't want to get too close, so he planned to sneak away to a distance and continue to follow with the help of distance, woods, and vegetation.

This Tatar army galloped all night without stopping for a moment. It must be a military emergency. Zhao Yu was also thinking secretly in his heart, guessing the purpose of this army.

On second thought, he had a second thought.

Taking advantage of the bright sky, the lack of people and horses, and the difficulty of seeing clearly, he quietly captured a Han soldier carrying a firearm.

In just a flash, no one around him noticed that a soldier rolled into the grass and disappeared immediately.

A moment later, Zhao Yu carried the Tatar-Han soldier cat into a forest.

Then he pressed lightly on the back of his neck, and the Tatar Han soldier suddenly woke up.

"You...what are you?!"

When the Tatar and Han soldiers saw Zhao Yu standing in front of him, they immediately looked frightened.

He only felt that he was marching among the army, but when he came back to his senses, he arrived in the woods. Could it be that ghosts and gods were causing trouble? !

For a moment, his face turned green and white.

Zhao Yu slapped him in the face: "I ask, you answer. If you make a mistake in a word, a limb will be cut off."

The Tatar Han soldier looked shocked, but felt relieved in his heart - as long as he is not a ghost. He saw Zhao Yu's shadow.

But he rolled his eyes, quietly touched the firearm, and said: "Okay, okay, you ask, you ask."

How could Zhao Yu not see this little move by the Tatar and Han soldiers? Even in the dark night, Zhao Yu couldn't be hidden from such a close distance, let alone now that it was already clear.

But he remained calm: "Let me ask you, where is this Tatar army going?!"

"Ah, I want to go, I want to go to Ningyuan." The Tatar Han soldier replied, already feeling angry, and then pointed the angry gun at Zhao Yu with a ferocious smile on his face: "Go to hell!"

Click!

There was a crisp sound, and the Tatar Han soldiers howled immediately. The musket was trampled to pieces even with the hand that was waiting for him.

"I ask, you answer. One wrong word and a limb is cut off."

Zhao Yu still said this.

The Tatar Han soldier was frightened. He did not see Zhao Yu's movements at all. The musket was broken into two pieces and his wrists were all shattered at once. The fear and pain were really unbearable.

But he didn't dare to neglect at all.

Although Zhao Yu's voice was gentle, it was precisely because of this gentleness that it made people feel numb.

So the Tatar Han soldier quickly shouted sadly: "It's Tashan! Tashan! Tashan Fort!"

"Tashan Castle?!"

Zhao Yu thought for a moment and said, "What is the location between Tashan Fort, Songshan Fort and Jinzhou?"

Zhao Yu only knows places like Songshan Fort, Jinzhou, and Daxing Fort. Although I had roughly heard about other places from Master, the specific locations were not clear.

The Tatar Han soldier shouted: "Tashan Fort is to the east of Songshan Fort, sandwiched between Songshan Fort and Ningyuan."

"oh?"

Zhao Yu's expression changed and he couldn't help but said: "Is Songshan Fort now in the hands of the Ming army or in the hands of the Tatars?"

"Da Ming! Da Ming!"

"That's it." Zhao Yu understood clearly.

Since Songshan Fort is still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the intention of this army that attacks Tashan Fort is obvious. It is clearly intended to cut off the connection between Songshan Fort and Ningyuan! This left the Songshan garrison alone.

While Zhao Yu was thinking, some ideas came to his mind, but he asked again: "Who is the general of this Tatar army? What is his identity?"

"It's Azige! Azige, the king of Duoluowuying County! The emperor's brother!"

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was instantly convinced of the idea that had popped up in his mind.

"He is the younger brother of the Tatar Emperor. He is also a big fish. He is qualified to sacrifice my parents!" Zhao Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "Since we bumped into him, you can't run away today!"

Then he used his palm to twist off the head of the Tatar Han soldier: "If you are a Han, how can you be a thief?!"

Zhao Yu didn't care about these Han soldiers who followed the Tatars to fight against the Ming Dynasty. But the Tatars have killed so many Han people. Anyone who is with the Tatars should die because of their parents' hatred!

After throwing away the dead body of the Tatar and Han soldier, Zhao Yu stood up and took a deep breath: "Azig, wait for me to come and take your head!"

After kicking the corpse away from his feet, Zhao Yu raised his knife and chopped a thick tree into two pieces. With a human head hanging from his waist, he walked out of the forest.

...

Tashan is located between Ningyuan and Songshan. Now Hong Chengchou, the governor of Liaodong, led an army of 130,000 out of Ningyuan and stationed himself at Songshan Fort, with his troops pointing directly at Jinzhou. When Huang Taiji heard the news, he sent Azig to lead eight thousand troops to bypass Songshan and Benta Mountain to cut off the Ming army's retreat.

Although Zhao Yu suddenly jumped out and caused trouble, compared with the war with the Ming Dynasty, this was just a minor illness. Even Hauge was beheaded.

Therefore, Huang Taiji put Zhao Yu's matter aside for the time being, just as a warning, and the war against the Ming Dynasty was what he paid most attention to.

Huang Taiji has been looking forward to taking control of the Central Plains for a long time.

Because there is precedent for this.

Before the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains had always been a land of flowers and flowers for the Han people. Even if there were five chaos, the Central Plains had never really stabilized the country. However, since the Song Dynasty, first the northern land has been ruled by barbarians, and finally even the huge Shenzhou was captured by Yuanmeng.

There was a precedent from Yuan and Meng, so how could he, Huang Taiji, covet him?

Sitting in the country is the ambition. There is no need to be serious with a common man. As long as the country is secure, a mere mediocre man is the overlord, so what can he do?

This is ambition.

While suppressing the grief of Hauge's death, Huang Taiji sent Azig to lead his army to block the Songshan Ming army's retreat. Then he also led a group of cavalry to Songshan to inspect the military situation.

Zhao Yu didn't know that he missed the best opportunity to kill Huang Taiji.

He has now surpassed Azig's army and reached the front of this army. He didn't want to wait for Azig to lead his army to attack Tashan before taking action. He couldn't wait any longer.

There were only eight thousand people, and they formed a long dragon. Azig was right in front. It was really easy to kill him.

But you also have to choose a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

It's at a pass, between two mountains.

Zhao Yu walked in front, exploring back and forth, and found that Azig's army must pass through here. So I waited quietly on one side of the mountain.

The sword was placed across his knees. Zhao Yu slightly closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Zhao Yu had never touched a bow and arrow before. When he hunted prey in the mountains, he would catch up with him and beat him to death with three punches and two kicks. Otherwise, if he were good at shooting, Azig would have been killed long ago.

But presumably what he wanted was Azig's head. He took his life from afar, so he might not be able to get the head. It just so happens that the mountain is not high and the pass is not wide. If you stand on the mountain and throw a stone casually, you can kill Azig. Then you can rush down and take off the head with a knife.

As for if the mood comes, it is not impossible to fight again.

Horse hooves cluttered like thunder. First there was a black dot in the distance, and in front of it was a large banner, which was Azig's military flag. Like a dragon's head, it pulls the long body of the dragon and quickly approaches the pass.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu's ears twitched and he stood up. He first looked at Azig's army and calculated that it would take about half a stick of incense to reach here.

So he turned around and entered the woods on the mountain.

From a distance, I saw ten or twenty people watching in the forest and on the trees.

Looking at the fiery red armor, Zhao Yu knew that he was a Ming army scout.

At first he didn't want to meet these scouts, but Zhao Yu then thought about it and thought that it might not be impossible to let these Ming soldiers take advantage. So he shouted: "Are you the scouts of Tashan?!"

The ten or twenty Ming army scouts were like cats whose tails were stepped on, or like frightened birds, they hurriedly avoided.

Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled: "No need to hide, I am also a Han."

The sound is clearer and clearer, even this forest can't cover it up.

Finally, the scouts heard the voice and calmed down. One person shouted: "Aren't you a Tatar scout!?"

He actually regarded Zhao Yu as a Tatar scout.

Zhao Yu frowned: "A Tatar scout can scare you like this?! You idiot!"

As soon as the Ming army scouts heard Zhao Yu's tone, they concluded that he was not a Tatar scout. They also heard Zhao Yu scolding them. They were all unhappy and jumped out to meet Zhao Yu.

Only then did he see Zhao Yu's appearance clearly.

He is tall and over eight feet long. The hair is tied up in a bun with wooden sticks in place. Wearing a short coat, barefoot underneath.

No matter how you look at it, they are not Tatars.

"Where are you from?"

The leading scout was probably a leader. After first looking at Zhao Yu's appearance, and then at the five-foot-long sword in his hand, and at the head of a money rat's tail and whip hanging on his waist, he knew that, This must be a strong man.

Then his tone softened: "What are you doing here? The Tatar army is about to arrive."

Zhao Yu glanced at it, turned around and left, saying at the same time: "The Tatars are what I'm waiting for. If you are brave, separate a few people and follow me. Others go back to Tashan to report the news, and ask your generals to lead their troops over immediately. , I will give him a military victory."

The Ming army scouts were stunned.

Someone said: "What a big sigh!"

The leader thought for a moment and said, "Second son, take some men back and tell the commander what's going on here. I'll go with him to have a look."

"Boss, do you believe this man's nonsense?"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you'll know just by looking at it."

Zhao Yu ignored the Ming army scouts, but returned to the side of the pass and hid in a bush.

Before his eyes, the Tatar army arrived outside the pass.

This pass is not a good place to hide soldiers, because the hills on both sides are short and there are not many trees, so they cannot hide people. Probably Azig also thought so, so he sent a hundred cavalry in advance, and he led the main force to follow these hundred people.

Zhao Yu quietly watched the hundred cavalrymen pass through the pass, and then Azige's large banner came into view.

A strong man with big arms and round waist was carrying the two-foot-high banner. Next to the banner, a black horse riding a divine horse was carrying a general with golden armor and golden helmet.

This man is very strong, no worse than the strong man who carries the big banner. He is not tall, but short and stocky, like a copper pea, giving people a strong and sturdy feeling.

There was a beard on his face, and when he looked around, he looked murderous.

Zhao Yu walked slowly out of the bushes, holding a pebble between his fingertips.

call out!

Suddenly, there was a sharp cry, which was extremely harsh!

That was the scream caused by pebbles cutting through the air and friction with the air!

As soon as the sound rang in his ears, there was only a bang. Before the surrounding army could react, a cloud of blood exploded on Azige's heart, and a hole as big as a fist opened from front to back.

The pebbles penetrated Azig's chest, flew out, and shot through five more cavalrymen before sinking into the mountain bag!

At this moment, the leader of the Ming army's scouts walked out of the forest with a few people and witnessed this moment!

These people all opened their mouths and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

But then he saw that Zhao Yu moved his feet, crushing a large bluestone, and then jumped down the mountain, with a long knife in his palm, glowing with cold light!

"Strong man, go quickly!"

While the Ming army scout was stunned, he felt a sense of admiration in his heart and shouted out. But nowhere did I see that the strong man actually jumped down with a knife!

"This is asking for death..."

Before he finished this sentence, he saw a cold sword light flickering in the mouth of the pass. The sword light was like a wheel and like a bright moon. As soon as he got there, he saw several human heads rushing into the sky, and a cloud of blood shot out. .

Zhao Yu jumped twenty feet, jumped straight from the mountain into the mouth of the pass, before landing, he raised his sword and slashed horizontally, killing five or six people.

At this time, the Tatar army was already in chaos.

Soldiers came to snatch Azig's body, and they swarmed him like a tide. Zhao Yu is like a rock in the sea, standing firm. He just happened to borrow Azig's mount, swung his sword in a circle, and beheaded several more people. Then he chopped off Azig's head hanging on the horse, lifted his headless body off the horse, and replaced it.
