Han Yong rode his horse back to Tianshui Station Fort first, and the remaining cavalrymen rushed to the crowd slowly. There were cavalrymen in front and behind, and there were scattered cavalry on both sides, and the situation was tighter than against the enemy. However, the crowd was driving slowly, and these cavalrymen did not force them, but followed them slowly, and they seemed less ferocious.

After traveling for about an hour, the outline of the Tianshui Station Fort finally appeared in front of me. This is a medium-sized fortress standing on a hillside. It is not small in size, but because of its long construction period, it looks a bit broken. The Qing army has occupied Liaodong for a long time, and it is also the hinterland of Liaodong, and the resistance it encountered is minimal. In addition, they are confident in their bravery and feel that only the cowardly Ming people will hide behind the city walls. Therefore, most of the time, they choose to turn a blind eye to the problems existing in the fortress.

The long-term scattering and slackness gave the Ming army a chance. When they sneaked in secret from the damaged part of the castle, the Qing army patrolmen were unprepared. When shouts of killing were everywhere, most of them were still asleep. Nearly three hundred guards were killed in the fort, and the rest were killed by the waiting cavalry after escaping, and none of them escaped.

The Qing army's corpses outside the fort had been moved to the fort, and the blood on the ground was buried. From the outside, everything was as calm as before. But when you entered the fort and looked around, the remains everywhere, blood was everywhere, collapsed houses, burned charred wood, etc., all indicate that there was a fierce battle here.

Except for some soldiers wearing military uniforms and monitoring the movements outside on the fort wall, the remaining soldiers either leaned against the corner of the wall or lay directly on the ground, and they were all asleep. If they were close, they could still hear their slight snoring. Next to the stable not far away, thousands of horses were quietly eating horse feed, occasionally making low neighing sounds.

Whether it was the farmer driving the car or the little girls, they all were so scared that their faces were pale, and one or two couldn't help but vomit. One of the little girls accidentally stepped on the soldiers sleeping on the ground, and jumped up in shock. But the soldier only glanced at him slightly, turned over, and fell asleep again.

They were finally taken to a clean house, and then the soldiers retreated, the door was covered, and the room suddenly became dark. They surrounded them and didn't speak for a long time, and the feeling of fear spread in their hearts. Feng'er held the groom's arm tightly and whispered: "Dad, why do these people still have buns?"

The groom made a booing move and whispered: "They may be rebellious Koreans, and only these people have their hair buns in Liaodong."

Lao Gao whispered: "Lao Zhang, are you stupid? These people speak clearly in Chinese. How many Koreans can speak so skillfully?"

The groom said angrily, "Who do you think they are?"

Lao Gao was silent for a while before lowering his voice: "Lao Zhang, do you think they are... could they be Mingjun?"

The groom shook his head in annoyance and said, "I think you are stupid! Where is this place? It is Liaoyang. Have you seen the Ming army here in the past twenty years? Besides, what are they doing here and kill the Qing army?"

Lao Gao was also a little discouraged, "Then, who are they?"

The groom shook his head helplessly, "I don't know either."

The room fell into silence again, and no one spoke again. He ran all the way, coupled with the panic and worry in his heart, fatigue came little by little, and everyone gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but the door was opened again and the outside was completely dark. Two soldiers carried a pot, and the other soldiers walked in with a basket full of big cakes. They placed the pot on the ground, and inside it was a meat soup mixed with various vegetables, emitting a burst of fragrance.

Han Yong waved his hand and asked the three soldiers to go out and said, "These are all for you. Who among you is the leader? Come out with me and I have something to ask."

Everyone in the room looked at each other, their faces full of surprise, but no one replied.

Han Yong was scolded by Jimu and was upset. At this moment, he saw these people silent and became even more angry. "Hurry up, who is the leader? Come out and don't let me say it again."

The groom hesitated for a moment, took Feng'er's hand off his arm, and stood up tremblingly.

Han Yong pointed at the groom and said, "Come out for me."

The groom responded in a low voice, but Feng'er stood up and grabbed him and said, "Dad, I'll go with you." The groom's face changed and he quickly shook her away, "What are you going to do? Stay behind."

Seeing the two of them quarreled, Han Yong shouted impatiently: "What are you quarreling? Get out of here for me."

The groom walked to Han Yong, pointed to A Xiu who was sitting in the innermost part and said softly: "June, that... she is injured in her leg and has been having a fever. Can you please get some herbs?"

Han Yong was slightly stunned, walked over and opened Axiu's legs, walked outside the house and ordered the soldiers next to him, "Go and let Dr. Ma come over to show her. The door doesn't need to be closed, just watch them not run around."

Gao Qi looked at Jimu with a sad face and said, "Two died, nine seriously injured, and the rest were all minor injuries. The others were easy to talk about, but the nine seriously injured probably couldn't go with them."

Jimu nodded gently and said nothing.

Gao Qi continued: "I see that Han Shoujie's proposal is good. I will find a place to settle them down first, and then take them away when we return. In this way, at least they can rest for a few days."

Jimu sighed: "This road is too far, and we may not necessarily follow this line when we return. Moreover, they are all injured and no one can take care of them. Also, we are not familiar with the surrounding terrain, so it is difficult to find a place to temporarily accommodate them."

At this time, Han Yong led the two into the room. He bowed to Jimu and Gao Qi and automatically retreated to one side.

Seeing a little girl following Han Yong, Jimu's brows frowned. Gao Qi turned to Han Yong with a smile on his face and said, "Han Yong, this is the father and daughter you mentioned! The little girl is quite pretty."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Han Yong gave Gao Qi a blank look and ignored him.

Gao Qi smiled and pointed to the bench in front of him and said, "Old man, girl, sit down! I'll ask you here, I'm going to ask you some things. By the way, you haven't had dinner yet! Han Yong, go get some. Also tell those outside that you can eat casually, but you must not drink alcohol."

Han Yong hated Gao Qi's domineering and casual attitude. But seeing Ji Mu nodding to him, he had to groan and walk out. After a while, he brought a porcelain plate over and placed it on the table, filled with chopped lamb.

Gao Qi took two pairs of chopsticks from the table and handed them to the two, saying, "There are less than 300 people in this castle, but it stores enough food for 3,000 people to eat for three months. Old man, is your harvest good this year?"

Although he was holding chopsticks, neither of them dared to move. The groom hesitated and said, "You can survive by barely! There were more than a thousand soldiers stationed in Tianshui Station Fort before, but two or three months ago, Liu Mazi looted a group of Qing army in Qingtaiyu. The soldiers in the surrounding forts were recruited to attack him, and only so many people were left."

Jimu suddenly asked, "Who is this Liu Mazi?"

The groom quickly replied: "Liu Mazi was originally an Aha of the Tianshui Station Fort. Three years ago, a famine occurred in Liaodong, starving many people to death, including Liu Mazi's children. In a fit of anger, he launched a rebellion with other Ahas of the Tianshui Station Fort. They killed dozens of garrison soldiers in the fort and all their relatives, and controlled the Tianshui Station Fort. Later, the Qing army came and he could not resist, so he fled. But soon after, most of the Qing army was transferred to the front line of Liaodong. Because he was familiar with the local terrain, many people responded, and his power gradually grew. After the Qing army won, he sent people to conquer him and fought back and forth many times."

Jimu asked curiously: "Is this Liu Mazi very powerful?"

The groom said: "When there were great power, there were tens of thousands of people, but after several defeats, I heard that there are only a few hundred people left now. And..."

"And what?" Yoshimu asked.

"And it was said that he had been killed by the Qing army a few days ago. But strangely, the grain transport team that went to the front line was looted, and the soldiers who fought against him had never withdrawn."

Han Yong said: "Guerrilla, Liu Mazi is a man. Judging from this situation, he must not die. Uh, old man, have you guys never thought about following Liu Mazi?"

The groom smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Jun. Only a few hundred people are left to die. Do you really think he can destroy the Qing army? The reason why he is powerful is that the Qing army has no time to deal with him. Once the Qing army frees up his hands, he doesn't know how to die."

Han Yong said "sigh": "It's just that I'm afraid of death, I'm willing to be a slave to the Tartars."

Feng'er stood up and glared at Han Yong and said, "You are not allowed to say that to my father."

The groom quickly grabbed Feng'er and apologized: "Dear soldiers, every girl doesn't know how to speak, don't care... don't be angry."

Jimu waved his hand and asked Han Yong to retreat, and said to the groom: "Old man, I ask you, how many Qing troops were there to fight against Liu Mazi? Are there anyone following him in several villages near you? Also, how far is the nearby fortresses from here?"

Jimu asked more than a dozen questions in one breath. Some grooms knew, some he didn't know, but they all answered with all their heart. After a long time, Jimu waved his hand and said to Han Yong: "Send the old man back!"

The groom bowed his hand gratefully and walked out. When he was about to walk out, Feng'er suddenly turned her head and asked, "Are you the Ming army?"

Jimu was stunned for a moment and said slowly: "So what, so what, no?"

Feng'er lowered her head and thought, "If so, you wouldn't have killed innocent people like the Qing army. You will definitely not have killed us, right?"
