The more the head of one side of the force, the more unable to fall into the ideal and unable to extricate himself, only by facing the reality can he reap success or avoid failure.

Of course, sometimes failure is unavoidable, so at least you have to stop the loss in time, and you can even break your arm to survive.

The Great Khan of Zasaktutu chose to survive with a broken arm.

In the early morning of that day, before even the sky was light, and it was the darkest hour before dawn, Tumen Khan pulled out his camp and left north, leaving only about 3,000 cavalry in the rear camp to create the illusion that the army was still there, intending to deceive the camp of Khattaiji, which was more than ten miles away from him.

Chataiji had received news from the Western Front around midnight last night, and he expected that Tumen might have to leave, but he judged according to normal conditions - that is, Tumen should at least wait for the sky to start to turn white before leaving, so he also made some preparations in advance, preparing to leave the green generals to guard the camp, and he led the main force north to intercept it, so as to entangle Tumen Khan.

It was the time difference of about half an hour between the day before dawn and the sky just after dawn, which caused Chataiji to pounce in the air.

The solemn-faced Chataiji dismounted and looked at the horseshoe prints on the ground, turned over on his horse again, and ordered in extremely simple language: "Chase!" ”

At this time, Gao Chengxun was still grinding foreign workers, but in order to avoid being caught by some people in the future, he still sent Ma Chengxun's department back to block the retreat of the screenshot people - Ma Chengxun originally had this task.

In fact, Han Naji also wanted to hurry up to block the maps, but unfortunately he didn't dare to say it in front of Gao Pragmatic, because Gao Pragmatic's reasons for telling him seemed to be very sufficient.

Gao pragmatic said that this morning, in order to ensure the smooth reorganization, his army is needed to suppress the situation, and this matter is related to the smooth completion of his marriage with Zhong Jin Hatun.

mentioned the marriage with Zhong Jin Hatun, no matter how anxious Han Naji was, he could only stare dryly, after all, this is a major foundation for Tumut's future stability, so he had to be patient and pragmatic to carry out the reorganization.

After all, he has done it several times in Annam, but this time the situation is slightly different, because it is impossible for him to send his own cavalry out to grasp the real power of the remnants of Xinai, so he can only draw some Mongolian people from the Majiada soldiers to mix with water - the earliest meaning of the Majiada soldiers is actually "Tatar soldiers", there are many Mongolians and Hui people, and it is very easy to transfer.

However, this mixing is temporary, and when it is handed over to Zhongjin Hatun in the future, it will definitely be taken back, otherwise Zhongjin Hatun will be slandered even though he is a hardcore pro-Ming faction.

Since it was only a temporary reorganization, it would be relatively quick to complete the reorganization, especially in the presence of Xin Ai himself, before noon, it had already been completed, and Hannaji was anxious to ask for troops to be sent quickly.

Gao pragmatic did not refuse, and led the army to pull.

At this time, the number of this line of army was very large, the Chinese army was guarded by Gao Shishi's own personal guards and the cavalry of the Beijing camp and the Majiada soldiers, the remnants of Xin Ai who had just been temporarily reorganized in front of them, and the infantry of Zhang Bingzhong's department in the rear - now they borrowed the spare war horses of Hannaji's department to become mounted infantry, and the outermost part was naturally the main force of Hannaji's Tumut West outpost.

The whole army exceeded 60,000 men, all of whom marched on horseback without exception, and could basically be regarded as 60,000 iron horsemen, which was not inferior in force in the slightest way than when Tumen Khan first entered Tumut, and even because he had been winning battles, his momentum might be three points higher.

To the surprise of Gao Pragmatic, he thought that Zhang Bingzhong's temporary cameo cavalry by infantry might seriously slow down the speed of the army, but who expected that although Zhang Bingzhong's department was not a cavalry, everyone could ride a horse, although the riding skills were relatively ordinary, but the impact on the marching speed of the army was not great at all.

Gao pragmatic put on a gratifying smirk and called Zhang Bingzhong over to ask, only to know that although the total number of cavalry in Xuanda has decreased in recent years, due to the financial strengthening, the training intensity has increased, and these infantry have actually undergone more than ten days of equestrian training.

Gao Pragmatic rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still had warm words of encouragement on his face, exaggerating Bingzhong's thorough preparation, and even having a prescient vision, which made Zhang Bingzhong, an honest man, smile with an old face.

Originally, it was no big deal if the speed was a little faster, as long as the Tumen sweated and did not have a convulsion, they should have run out of nearly a hundred miles at this time, who knew that Zhang Wanbang, who had made a great contribution to the defense of Xin Ai yesterday, ran out again to join in the fun, and offered advice: "In the service, there is a way to be a soldier and a god, and the lowly duty to observe the service in the family Ding riding skills are very good, and the war horse is a rare good horse, it is better to order them to rush to the Tumen retreat first to block the road to the retreat, even if it can't be blocked, at least it can slow down the speed of the Tumen's retreat, and create an opportunity for my army to encircle and suppress this fang......"

Before he finished speaking, he was criticized by his own father, Zhang Bingzhong glared and said: "What do you know, Shizhong is the emperor's all-powerful envoy, and he can't afford to take half a point of danger, the Gao family is strong, so naturally he has to protect the safety of the envoy first, how can you suggest that they go to block the screenshots?" ”

Then he turned his head and asked Gao Shi to plead guilty: "The dog is young, he doesn't know anything, he talks wildly, and he asks the waiter to forgive me." ”

Gao Shishi smiled and said, "It's okay, Ling Lang is also thinking about breaking the map, whether it is wrong or wrong, the purpose is always good." ”

This sounds like a big deal, but in fact, it is three words: do not adopt.

Zhang Wanbang was a little disappointed and explained: "In fact, there is no problem with the safety of the envoys, both the soldiers and the Beijing camp can stay, and our troops are good at guarding, so we can always ensure the safety of the envoys......"

"Shut up!" Zhang Bingzhong said angrily.

Zhang Wanbang is usually not afraid of his father, but in front of Gao Pragmatic, he didn't dare to contradict it, so he had to shut up.

Gao Pragmatic had seen the boldness of this guy more than ten years ago, and knew that there was nothing wrong with his suggestion, so he said: "Actually, what Sanxi said is not unreasonable, but I expect that after Chataiji received the battle report last night, he should also be prepared, even if the Tumen want to leave, they will be entangled by him, and it may not be of much use to send four thousand more horsemen from my family......

When Zhang Wanbang heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

Ma Gui actually wanted to fight, because his nephew Ma Chengxun had already made great contributions yesterday, but he, the third uncle, only made a contribution when he was sticking to Shacheng, but he hadn't gotten any opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the field, so he thought about it and said: "In the waiting, the last general feels that Sanxi's words do have some truth, otherwise ...... so."

He coughed lightly and said, "The last general led the remnants of Xin Ai to block the screenshots, and the soldiers and others stayed first, so I asked General Zhang to take charge of the charge, which is enough to protect and ...... at the same time The Xin Ai Ministry is newly attached, and the army's morale is unstable, so this is also an opportunity to give them a chance to make meritorious contributions, which is equivalent to voting for a name. A little bit of shallowness, please make a decision. ”

Ma Gui came out to speak, Gao Pragmatic still planned to give some face, so he said: "Ma Zongrong, are you sure that Xin Aibu can command Ruyi now?" ”

"Ruyi can't talk about it, but they shouldn't disobey at this time, after all, Xin Ai and the sons are all in the army, what if they don't obey the order?"

Gao pragmatically thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll work hard for you...... Remember, we have made great achievements in this battle, but the art of war is cloudy: 'Don't stop when you return to the master'. If the Tumen are in a hurry to escape, the Chahar Department under his command is still in combat strength, and if the persecution is too much, it may cause a strong counterattack, and it will not be beautiful to lose too much at that time - you know that the Xin Ai Department will be handed over to Zhongjin Hatun in the future, and you should know the meaning of this. ”

Ma Gui was a little thorough, and he said with his head bowed at the moment: "Thank you for mentioning it, Ma Gui understands." ”

Gao pragmatic nodded and approved: "Then you can order troops, be careful in everything, and don't be reckless." ”

"Xie Shizhong cares, the last general is gone." Ma Gui hugged his fists.
