Because of the experience of the false alarm just now, although Zhao Junchen was a little surprised when he saw the change happen this time, he was not too flustered, but he just turned his head to Zhang Shengde and asked, "Why did another cavalry appear?" It seems that they are specifically coming to meet us, does Governor Zhang know the origin of the other party? Could it be that in addition to Governor Zhang, there were other Shaanxi and Gansu officials to welcome Ben Qincha? ”

Zhang Shengde shook his head blankly and said: "Now there are many affairs in Shaanxi and Gansu, and the vast majority of officials are inseparable from it, except for the lower officials, there are no officials to greet Lord Qincha...... Could it be the army from the nearby military town guard? ”

And at this moment, the two scouts were already close to everyone's ranks, and their shouts fell into everyone's ears!

"It's the Mongols! It's the Mongols! There are thousands! It's the Mongol cavalry! ”

Hearing the urgent shouts of the two scouts, there was a commotion in the procession. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It turned out that there was a real attack by the Mongol cavalry!

Thinking of the ferocity of the Mongols, many people panicked.

Zhao Junchen's performance was better than the last time, but he was still faintly flustered, and asked Zhang Shengde again: "Governor Zhang, what's going on?" Didn't you say that the border guards were heavily guarded? Why did the Mongols suddenly appear? ”

Zhang Shengde's performance was slightly stronger than Zhao Junchen's, although his expression was the same panicked, but he was more surprised, and said: "This, how is this possible!" If the Mongols want to come to Hengshan County, they must first pass through Dingbian County or Jingbian County, but these two places are full of fortresses and wolf smoke, and several guards are also strong, if the Mongols pass through Dingbian County or Jingbian County, even if they are not repelled by the border army, at least there should be news in time! This...... How can it be? Why did the Mongols suddenly appear here? ”

Seeing that Zhang Shengde didn't have an accurate answer, Zhao Junchen couldn't help frowning, his brain turned sharply, thinking about his next move.

At the same time, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Hong Gaogong once again came to Zhao Junchen's side, and once again urgently suggested to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Qincha, there are thousands of Mongolians, we only have six hundred, we are invincible, your safety is important, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being!" Just in case, you can let the cavalry of Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi cover the rear! ”

As he spoke, Hong Gaogong repeatedly glanced at Xu Qingyan behind Zhao Junchen, suggesting that Xu Qingyan would persuade Zhao Junchen with him.

Hong Gaogong's temperament is bad and he has not been at the price of Zhao Junchen, but he and Xu Qingyan have the same smell, and the two have been called brothers for a long time.

At this time, Xu Qingyan was also flustered, and after seeing Hong Gaogong's hint, he hurriedly said to Zhao Junchen: "Yes, young master, your safety is the most important, now the Mongols are still far away, and we are all cavalry, if you want to escape, you will definitely be able to escape......

However, before Xu Qingyan's words were finished, he was glared at by Zhao Junchen fiercely, and interrupted in a vicious voice: "You are just my long-term follower, how can you speak here!" Shut up! ”

Zhao Junchen will not be surprised by Xu Qingyan's casual and presumptuous behavior in front of Zhao Junchen on weekdays, but if Zhao Junchen lets Xu Qingyan affect his judgment at this time, he will inevitably make everyone despise him.

After seeing Zhao Junchen's reaction, Xu Qingyan's face showed an incredible look - Zhao Junchen had never treated him like this - and suddenly felt sad in his heart, and he actually forgot the threat of the Mongols, and just silently retreated to the side.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry should have seen Zhao Junchen's team from a distance, but they did not slow down at all, but accelerated towards Zhao Junchen's team, as if they had known that Zhao Junchen's team would appear here!

Seeing that the Mongols were getting closer and closer, and soon they were already a few miles away, and it would hit in half a pillar of incense time, Zhao Junchen didn't care about Xu Qingyan's feelings, but after taking a deep breath, he barely suppressed the panic in his heart, and then asked the two most reliable people around him: "Now it's not to explore the reason why these Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared here, but to consider countermeasures!" To fight or to avoid? How to fight? How to avoid it? Governor Zhang, Mao Baihu, what are your suggestions? ”

Zhang Shengde has served in Liaodong, Shaanxi and Gansu over the years, and has to experience wars almost every year, so he naturally understands military strategy, and Mao Jiadong's series of performances have won the trust of Zhao Junchen, who thinks that this person is a good commander of the army.

Therefore, compared with his panicked decision, Zhao Junchen believes in the judgment of the two of them, the two of them will fight when they say they will fight, and the two of them will flee when they say they will flee!

Mao Jiadong also knew that time was pressing, and immediately asked Zhang Shengde: "Governor Zhang, where is the village fort where you are stationed?" How's the defense? ”

Zhang Shengde also said quickly: "No, that village fort is located more than 20 miles away from the southwest, and the Mongols are attacking from the northwest, if you return to that village fort, you will collide with the Mongols!" ”

Mao Jiadong asked again: "Are there other village forts in the other directions?" Can the chapter governor be familiar with? ”

Zhang Shengde nodded and said: "There are two village forts, one is located more than thirty miles away in the northwest, and the other is more than fifty miles away in the northeast, although I am not familiar with these two village forts, but the Mongols are not good at attacking cities, as long as we enter them, it will be enough to resist them." ”

Hearing Zhang Shengde's words, Mao Jiadong immediately said to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Qincha, we have been running day and night for two or three days, and we are running out of horsepower, although I don't know how the horsepower of the Mongols is, but they are better at riding, they are all lightly armed and simple, and there is no fortress nearby to rely on, even if we escape, we may not be able to escape them." ”

Zhao Junchen asked, "Then should you fight?" What are the odds? ”

Mao Jiadong said: "I don't know the details of the other party, or to avoid it temporarily, one is to test the horsepower of the Mongols, and the other is to buy time to ask for help from the nearby guards, after all, this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongols dare not stay for a long time!" We passed by a dirt mountain half an hour ago today, and we paid close attention to it, the terrain there is relatively steep, not conducive to horse riding, and there are many stones on the top of the mountain that can be used as stones, as long as we arrive there in advance, we can hold on for a long time, and we can send people to the nearby guard to ask for help, as long as the reinforcements arrive, we can repel the Mongols! ”

Zhang Shengde was taken aback and asked, "Why don't you go to the nearby village fort for temporary refuge?" ”

Mao Jiadong replied: "Now the villages and forts everywhere are full of vigilance, and it is easy not to let outsiders in, since Governor Zhang is not familiar with those two village forts, we may be blocked by these two village forts, compared to the village forts that do not know the details, I think that Tushan is easier to defend against the Mongol attack!" ”

On the other side, after Zhao Junchen heard the words "I don't know the details", he suddenly thought of something, but his face changed, and he immediately supported Mao Jiadong's proposal and decided: "According to Mao Baihu's statement, let's go to that dirt mountain for defense immediately!" Also, send someone to the nearby guard station for help immediately! Let's just say that it was the order of Lord Chincha, if they are too late for rescue, everyone will have to move their heads! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junchen turned his horse's head and galloped towards the way he came.

Just by talking, the Mongol cavalry had already closed the distance by many distances, and if they didn't run away, the Mongols would soon run into them!

As Zhao Junchen's horse galloped, the whole team hurriedly followed, all of them quickly whipped their horses and fled towards the way they came.

And Mao Jiadong hurriedly shouted and shouted, commanding the team to maintain formation and prevent the team from running away in a panic.

After hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, Zhang Shengde hurriedly rode his horse to follow Zhao Junchen's side, because everyone was galloping wildly, the sound of horses' hooves resounded in everyone's ears, Zhang Shengde had to shout loudly, and suggested to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, the guards of the lower officials are more familiar with the situation nearby, so let the people of the lower officials go to the nearby guards for help." ”

Zhao Junchen turned his head and glanced at Zhang Shengde, his eyes were faintly cold, and he also shouted loudly: "Just in case, divide into two groups of people to ask for help!" You send your people! Benchin sent a group of men with him! ”

After hearing Zhao Junchen's reply, Zhang Decheng was stunned for a moment, and then finally guessed Zhao Junchen's true thoughts!

A Mongolian cavalry silently crossed the two counties of Dingbian and Jingbian, came to the territory of Hengshan County, and suddenly attacked Zhao Junchen's team, this situation is too weird, as if this Mongolian cavalry appeared specifically to attack Zhao Junchen's team!

If this is the case, there must be some officials in the northwest who secretly colluded with the Mongols! not only leaked Zhao Junchen's whereabouts through Zhang Shengde's inference, but also covered the entry of the Mongolian cavalry to intercept Zhao Junchen!

This kind of thing is not impossible, after all, Zhao Junchen has seized the evidence of the Northwest governors, and it is inevitable that he will be resented!

At the same time, since there is a Mongolian cavalry here, it is not necessarily that there will be no second and third Mongolian cavalry! If Zhao Junchen led the team towards the village fort that he didn't know the details of, and didn't know the details of the road ahead, he might be ambushed by another Mongol army!

Compared with this, the route that Zhao Junchen just passed through was by no means ambushed by the Mongols, so it was naturally much safer!

It is precisely because of such suspicions that Zhao Junchen will adopt Mao Jiadong's suggestion, and he is not worried that Zhang Shengde will arrange for people to go to the nearby guard station for help! If there are officials in the northwest who want to use the Mongols to murder Zhao Junchen, Zhang Shengde is also suspicious!

After thinking about Zhao Junchen's thoughts, Zhang Shengde didn't say much, but immediately arranged for his guards to leave the team and rush to the nearby guard station for help!

At the same time, Mao Jiadong also arranged for more than ten Shanxi cavalrymen to leave the team and gallop towards the location of the nearby guard.

In this way, the Mongolian cavalry and Zhao Junchen's team were separated by several miles, chasing and fleeing, because the Mongols had better riding skills, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer!

In the end, before the Mongols caught up, Zhao Junchen's team finally came to the foot of the dirt mountain in Mao Jiadong's memory.
