About a quarter of an hour ago, Gao Di rode on a jujube red horse, looking at the army of more than 15,000 people who could not see the first place, and his face was full of smugness.

This Gao Di, who is just twenty-six years old this year, has a middle figure, is neither fat nor thin, and his facial features are also correct, but because of excessive sexual intercourse, his face looks a little pale and weak.

If he took off the armor of the general soldier, he would look very much like a white-faced scholar.

Gao Di can also be regarded as a typical example of flattering Wei Zhongxian to be promoted, and the rest, such as Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as well as Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang, are also following the same path.

These people have long been affectionately named eunuchs by the ministers of Donglin, so that the scholars in the world are scolded day and night, and some unreasonable people follow suit, and their reputation has long been stinky.

But what the reputation is, it will not affect the official fortune of Gao Yilu in the slightest.

He was originally a poor and sour citizen in the market, and he had nothing to do with the dignified chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty, and he was used to living a shabby life since he was a child.

After becoming a general soldier, what he didn't have before, Gao Di now enjoys extravagance, loves money, cherishes his life, and is also lustful.

Despite this, he never forgot to send some silver to the Duke of Wei Factory in the court every month to pay filial piety.

But he didn't know that eighty percent of this filial piety was given by Wei Zhongxian into the inner pocket of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Gao Di has no effort in swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and he doesn't know anything about leading troops to fight, but when it comes to hooking up with women and flattering horses, this goods are familiar with it.

Wei Zhongxian was also dizzy, and actually chose such a No. 1 person to be the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan.

Xu is current most of the war is in Jiubian and Liaodong, and there is no war in Shanhaiguan all year round, and Gao Di is obedient, so he got him over.

Wei Zhongxian had never expected that there would be such a battle in the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't expect that Zhu Xieyuan, who didn't know the details of Gaodi, also pulled out the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan to make a reserve, and these coincidences came together to become such a thing.

When Zhu Xieyuan led the main force of the second road to ambush the slave chieftain, he also watched the six roads and listened to all directions.

Knowing that Nurhachi sent Yangguli to lead more than 10,000 cavalry with red flags to intercept and kill the Jizhou army, Zhu Xieyuan had already guessed in his heart that Wang Wei was very likely to be defeated in the field, so he quickly sent Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses as a reserve.

But Gao Di was ordered to come all the way, he was swaying, and he was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't know that he thought he was watching the scenery along the way, rather than going to help his blood comrades.

In fact, Zhu Xieyuan had also heard about Gao Di's style before he came, and made some arrangements in advance, so as not to disobey Gao Di's orders and affect the battle situation.

Zhu Xieyuan specially assigned Gao Di two lieutenant generals recruited in the southwest, namely Gao Zhen, a young general, and a veteran general Long, who was extremely senior.

Both of these men have the right to give orders at critical moments and set the high rank in the air.

Coincidentally, these two lieutenants also have their own thoughts, and they don't want to do much.

Although Gao Zhen, who bravely took the lead in the Southwest War, had great ambitions, in order to shine in this battle, he heard that Gao Di was deeply trusted by Wei Zhongxian, and he obeyed his words.

As for the other veteran General Long, although he served as the governor of the southwest in his early years, his prestige in the army was very high, which was enough to directly let Gao Di leave class.

But Yu Long himself was over the age of six, and he didn't want to go to Liaodong from the southwest to fight, but Zhu Xieyuan insisted that he come by name, so he reluctantly followed.

The current Yu Long basically rarely participates in military affairs, and only wants to spend the rest of his life in peace, and he has lost the hard work of his youth, so he naturally refuses to care.

As a result, Zhu Xieyuan's painstaking deployment was in vain, and the Shanhaiguan army was actually the first person to have the final say.

Among them, there is also the influence of Gao Di in the army because of Gao Di's recommendation for Wei Zhongxian, and many generals either cling to him, or are as unwilling to do more things as Yu Long.

"Commander, the military order of the Governor is very urgent, let's hurry up!"

Gao Zhen found that it was getting late, and there was a faint wind and sand rising on both sides, and realized that the sky was about to change, so he stepped forward and cautiously reminded him.

Hearing this, Gao Di turned his head to look at him, dissatisfied in his heart and about to scold.

After thinking about it, I thought that this Gao Zhen had military exploits in the Southwest War, and he was a famous young general, and he was arranged by Zhu Xieyuan into his army, presumably because of the monitoring and constraints.

"Good!" Gao Di suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, rode on his horse and waved his right hand and immediately ordered, "Hurry up and march to support the soldiers and horses of the king of Jizhou!" ”

As Gao Zhen expected, the wind and sand became stronger and stronger, until the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan could only hear the violent "whirring" sound around them, and they could not see where the march had been.

Gao Di rode his horse to a high slope, saw that the visibility in the wind and sand was less than 100 steps, his face was solemn, but he was happy in his heart, he didn't want to go to Liaodong to fight with those barbarians who killed people without blinking.

While he was thinking about how to take this opportunity to avoid the battlefield where the battle was raging, he suddenly rode a flying horse to report:

"Report to the general town, the left front found a group of Jin army soldiers who had separated from the army, about hundreds of people, guarded by a group of Jianzhou people, and were hiding from the wind and sand in the valley!"

"How many armorers?" Gaudí asked.

The number of armored soldiers determines the actual combat effectiveness of these slave soldiers, and even a general soldier like him, who does not pay attention to the war at all, knows that it is these armored soldiers who have strong combat effectiveness in the slave army.

"The wind and sand are too big to see clearly, and the villain estimates should not be much!"

After listening to the sentry horseman's words, Gao Di laughed:

"Good! From the point of view of this town, these people should be the logistics soldiers and horses left by the slave army, and the wind and sand are so big, they should seek their own fighters! ”

"But... In the general town, the military order given to us by the Governor is to go straight to the northeast and support Wang Dashuai! Gao Zhen said subconsciously.

Gao Di had long been dissatisfied with Gao Zhen, and when he heard this, he glanced at him coldly and said:

"The battlefield situation is ever-changing, and the generals should seek their own fighters, you don't understand such a simple truth, and how can this town recommend it to you?"

When Gao Zhen heard this, she had no choice but to hold her fists and respect the order.

As for the veteran on the other side, he listened to the whole process.

He knew that if the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan did not go to this battle, Wang Wei's Jizhou soldiers and horses would almost be defeated in the face of Jiannu, who was full of cavalry, under the same number of circumstances.

Yu Long's sigh was hidden in the wind and sand, and after thinking about it again and again, he still chose to remain silent, and Ren Gaodi changed the direction of the march.

Soon, more than 15,000 Ming troops at Shanhaiguan began to march towards the valley.

The Ming army easily arrived at the valley with their backs against the wind and sand, and after a simple fight, they found that there were only a few hundred slave soldiers guarding the valley.

Gao Di rescued more than 3,000 homeless Liao people in the valley and was complacent, but suddenly found that he could no longer find the right way to support Wang Wei.

......

Gao Di left more than 1,000 men and horses to guard the valley, and led the Ming army like a needle in a haystack, groping for a way to the battlefield in the wind and sand.

Until the sun rose the next day, the wind and sand gradually receded, and they still did not arrive at the site of the bloody battle between the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and the red flag.

Half an hour later, the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan finally arrived on the plain, and their eyes were shocked.

Wang Wei, the chief soldier of Jizhou, was hit by several arrows in his chest, and his one-armed body fell in a pool of blood, his big eyes were wide open, and he couldn't look at it.

More than 10,000 Jizhou soldiers and horses were all over the field, especially the last gunners and bird gunners, after the collapse of the military formation, they were chased and slaughtered by slave cavalry one by one.

Yu Long could see that this was the Jizhou soldiers and horses who still collapsed after fierce resistance, and were chased and killed by slaves and horsemen all over the mountains!

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Gao Di behind him, and regretted it a little in his heart. Even if he is exempted from the responsibility of this defeat, such a tragic scene will still inevitably make people feel emotional.

Gao Zhen looked at the battlefield after the war, and knelt on the ground with a puff, with a cry in his words: "Supervisor, the last general has failed your trust!" ”

"The last will be damned!"
