With a patchwork of 100,000 desert horsemen to the south, Kunbo pinned his hopes on the success of the trip, but he didn't expect that Zheng Jun, who was answered, copied the baggage, and most of his hopes had been dashed.

Kunbo led the remaining 60,000 horses to immediately attack the Zheng army's heavy camp, Zheng Jun's heavy camp was commanded by another deputy governor of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Rao Qingshan, this person has always been cautious, the daily march is only thirty miles, the sky fell heavily and ordered to camp, while sending people to the army to send a letter to ask for troops to respond, while building fortifications to defend strictly, he has been in the north for many years, naturally knows the use of snow to build a wall to water and strengthen the method, although Jiang Anyi sent the letter of the scout has not yet arrived in Kunbo to launch an offensive, But the baggage battalion easily blocked the attack of the desert cavalry with its solid snow walls and smooth ground.

The scouts sent by Jiang Anyi arrived, and Rao Qingshan learned that the reinforcements would arrive at dawn, so he commanded more and more calmly, and Kun Bo launched several strong attacks that were defused by him. At two o'clock, Jiang Anyi led the army to kill, the red flag was particularly eye-catching in a plain white, the Zheng army in the camp was thunderous, and the knights were depressed.

Kunbo wanted to launch a counterattack on Jiang Anyi, but Lan Qitao persuaded: "The morale of the Zheng reinforcements is high at the beginning, our army has been fighting for a long time, and the men and horses are tired, if they are trapped by the Zheng people, they may be in danger of being destroyed, it is better to withdraw and go to Buqicha, recapture the materials and rescue the prisoners, if there are no supplies, everything will be over." ”

In desperation, Kun Bo had no choice but to lead the army to withdraw, and Jiang Anyi entered the baggage camp to hand over Rao Qingshan. Receiving the general order from the marshal, Rao Qingshan was stunned, but he didn't expect the marshal to hand over the command to Jiang Anyi. Rao Qingshan is the deputy governor of Anbei, the official rank is from the third rank, Jiang Anyi is the military senator on the fourth grade, it is said that Rao Qingshan's official rank is higher, but Wang Keming ordered Rao Qingshan to obey Jiang Anyi's command, Rao Qingshan was unhappy in his heart, and smiled on the surface: "Lord Jiang came just in time, the old man was ordered to lead the heavy battalion to the north, all the way to be afraid of the attack of the indifferent people, and he was deeply tired. ”

Beating drums to gather the generals, Rao Qingshan read out the generals of the big commander in front of the generals, and then handed over the fish talisman symbolizing the command to Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi was anxious, worried that the retreating desert cavalry would counterattack Buqicha, and An Yong would have to face how to resist more than 80,000 desert cavalry. After briefly introducing the situation of the army, Jiang Anyi said: "This time I went south with the intention of plundering a total of 100,000 people, and I already led the army to capture their baggage last night. This group of desert troops will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry after they have lost their baggage, and I guess they are likely to counterattack Buqicha after they withdraw. Buqicha has only 20,000 defenders, and the situation is very critical, so I will lead my army to return to help immediately. ”

Rao Qingshan said: "Lord Jiang, there are more than 50 miles from the baggage camp to Buqicha, and you can only send light cavalry to rescue, the baggage camp only has 30,000 light cavalry, even if you add 20,000 reinforcements from adults, I am afraid that it is still at a disadvantage compared with the desert cavalry, and the 20,000 light cavalry led by Lord Jiang attacked the desert Buqicha camp at night, and rescued the baggage camp overnight. ”

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said: "I will take the 30,000 light cavalry of the baggage battalion to the rescue, as long as I rescue Buqicha's light cavalry from the siege, try not to fight with the desert army." Rao Dudu, after I leave, the baggage battalion will pull out the camp and go north, and try to join the army as soon as possible. ”

Immediately eating, Jiang Anyi led 30,000 light horsemen to the north. The sky is already bright, and there are traces of Jiang Anyi and their arrival in the snow.

In addition, these 30,000 people recuperated and recuperated, and the speed of returning was relatively fast, and they approached Buqicha in more than an hour. Jiang Anyi was concerned about the safety of his younger brother and urged the charcoal to rush forward.

On the high slope next to Buqicha, Jiang Anyong circled the vehicle on the periphery to make a car wall according to his brother's instructions, and blocked the gaps with snow accumulation, which were all driven to the desert captives, and the snow wall was filled with more than 100 corpses of the desert people.

When the sky was slightly bright, the attack of the desert people came, relying on the wall to resist, Zheng Jun shot arrows down from the high slope, the speed of the horses in the snow was not fast, and soon a large number of corpses of the desert people fell down the slope. Jiang Anyong did not hesitate to order to shoot arrows at the chaotic desert captives, and the corpses were ambushed everywhere under the rain of arrows, and hundreds of casualties made the desert prisoners dare not move again.

Chenzheng, the sun came out, shining on the snow and dazzling, Li Man led an army of 60,000 to come. Looking at the desert horses all over the mountains, Jiang Anyong knew that the most difficult time had come, although with the geographical advantage, 20,000 horses might not be able to resist 80,000 desert horses.

Remembering his brother's explanation before leaving, Jiang Anyong ordered the grass to be piled up behind the vehicle, and put the beans and oil for feeding the horses next to the grass, and only one arrow was prepared and not left to shoot; As for the beef and mutton jerky and milk slices, they are reluctant to burn them, so that the soldiers can open their bellies to eat, and take the rest with them and take them away when they break through; The captives cannot be taken away, and they will be shot at that time; The captured war horses can't be lost, they can be taken away together, and they can't be changed to horses to get out of the siege halfway.

Instead of attacking immediately, Cumpo ordered to rest and eat. The baggage was taken away, there were horses shot dead on the ground, dried beef and mutton and milk chips with them, and the snow was boiled and the desert army began to eat. Jiang Anyong really wanted to take this opportunity to rush and kill for a while, and look at the number of Mo Cavalry, so he had to give up.

At the third moment of Chenzheng, the desert cavalry began to attack, charging from all directions, and the blood sprayed out melted the snow wall. Knowing that the last moment of fate was approaching, the Moren captives rushed down the slope desperately while the Zheng army was busy dealing with the attack. Kunbo sent troops to charge and contain it, Jiang Anyong was a little caught off guard, and more than 10,000 prisoners actually escaped more than 5,000 people.

The Mo army, who had saved the captives, was even more vigorous, and the outer car walls and snow walls began to crumble, Jiang Anyong knew that he couldn't hold it, so he ordered the grass to be set on fire and began to burn the supplies. The grass was poured with butter, and in an instant black smoke billowed and flames flew, the cart was ignited, the walls of the cars and snow were replaced by walls of fire, and the snow melted and flowed downward, mixed with black ash and blood, and the snow became dirty.

Seeing that Zheng Jun burned pasture and other materials, Kunbo was anxious and angry, and without supplies, more than 90,000 people would freeze and starve to death on the grassland. While instructing the Moqi to throw snow to put out the fire, Kunbo ordered the Moqi to block the retreat of the Zheng army and eliminate the Zheng army.

Fires broke out on three sides, and the south was a retreat road, and Jiang Anyong retreated south with light horses. Jiang Anyi saw the black smoke rising, and knew that Jiang Anyong had abandoned the defense and was about to escape, so he urged the troops to go to the rescue. Two miles away, countless desert horsemen blocked the way, hearing the sound of fierce fighting inside, An Yong was trapped, Jiang Anyi slammed the charcoal, the charcoal felt the master's heart anxious, hissed, and rushed forward with his hoof.

Mo Qi heard the movement behind him, and he didn't have time to turn around to fight Jiang An

Yi has been killed, the moon killing knife in his hand is horizontal, and he quickly swept out a blood alley, Pu Tianhao and others rushed along this blood alley, and soon, Jiang Anyi killed Mo Qi, and saw his younger brother An Yong who rushed out to kill.

Kun Bo was commanding the desert cavalry to extinguish the fire, hoping to rescue some supplies, when he heard the shouting of killing from the south becoming fierce, he rushed with the black wolf horse, and saw that the Zheng army had come to reinforcements. At this time, Kunbo's eyes are red, not to mention the dream of fighting for the sweat position is shattered, whether he can live or not is in the two words, the enemy meets, you live and die. With his scimitar raised, Kunbo rushed straight towards Zheng Jun, and the Mo cavalry behind him shouted one by one, attacking Zheng Qi desperately.

The mourning soldiers are difficult to fight, and at the moment of life and death, the desert cavalry becomes crazy, and fights for his life without hesitation, Jiang Anyi has killed more than ten people and still can't hold back the decline, and Zheng Jun was killed by the desert cavalry and retreated again and again. Jiang Anyi saw that he rescued his younger brother, and he had no intention of fighting, so he ordered the bow chief to follow behind, covering the retreat of the brigade while fighting.

Mo Cai's bow and arrow are not much, it is difficult to organize a counterattack, several times close to being forced back by the rain of arrows, Jiang Anyi held a strong bow and almost shot Kun Bo with an arrow, was quickly blocked by the eyes of Cuo Bo next to Kun Bo, Kun Bo was frightened, did not dare to press tightly, Zheng Jun and Mo Cai separated, Jiang Anyi took the light cavalry south to meet the baggage team.

Mo Qi doused the flames with snow, and the five hundred carts were more or less exhausted, and he could only barely piece together about two hundred carts to use, and the grass was only used for two or three days, but the beans were still edible after being cooked by the fire. As Kunpo rode around the smoke, mist and mist, the tents, arrows, jerky, and milk were gone, and it was a question of how to return to the royal court.

Lan Qitao's face was gloomy, Kunbo's defeat meant that he would withdraw from the Great Khan's competition, and the Lan's clan, Fuqu clan and other tribes who supported Kunbo would also be suppressed by the new Khan, the most important thing at the moment was to preserve the strength and return to the royal court, 100,000 horses lost more than 10,000 people, and they did not hurt their muscles and bones, the key is grain and grass, without grain and grass to condense these 90,000 horses will be scattered and separated. Lan Qitao said in a deep voice: "Kunbo Khan, if you want to return to the royal court smoothly, you can't rely on these materials alone, even if you drink horse blood and go back, the tribes will be centrifugal. ”

Kunbo said in a muffled voice: "My heart is like a mess of grass, what do you say to do?" ”

Lan Qitao subconsciously whipped the blackened wheels in front of him with the horsewhip in his hand, and thought: "When I went south, I just continued to fight, biting the Zheng people's baggage camp. I don't think there are many light cavalry in the Zheng people's baggage battalion plus the reinforcements going south, and there will definitely be an opportunity to escort a large amount of supplies to the north. As long as the Zheng people's baggage can be snatched or burned, the Zheng people's army will not be able to move south smoothly, and no one will be able to erase the credit of the Khan. ”

Kunbo's spirit perked up a little, and said: "It's good to keep an eye on the Zheng people's baggage team, but there is not much grain and grass left in our army, at most it is only enough to support three days, what should we do when the time comes?" ”

Lan Qitao gritted his teeth and said: "You can only take one step at a time, send scouts to see if there are tribes around, ask them to borrow some food first, even if it is to kill horses, you have to hold on." ”

At noon, Jiang Anyi's team joined up with the baggage battalion, which walked forward for ten miles. Rao Qingshan welcomed Jiang Anyi into the big tent, and praised with a spring breeze on his face: "Lord Jiang went out to win and succeeded, Rao admired him very much. It was just time for lunch, and someone shot two yellow sheep on the way to the march just now, just in time to meet Lord Jiang. ”
