In this way, a few horses galloped for eight days, and finally arrived at Xuanfu, after a short rest, and the local residents inquired about the movement, ready to change horses to continue to chase, it turned out that six days ago the army had passed by Xuanfu, everyone felt that they had caught up with the army, according to this speed and there were about two days of galloping to catch up with Du Hai them, they were all happy and excited.

Suddenly, Lu Yunzhi trembled, and then asked in a trembling voice, "What do you feel?" Several people shook their heads, but Han Yueqiu's face was also pale, and two lines of crystal tears slipped down from the corners of his eyes, and then he was silent and stopped talking.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Xiangtianfang Qingze Gao Huai and the others also stopped talking, and did not turn over and get on the horse but were stunned there, Qin Rufeng squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and kept smashing the ground with his fist, blood splattered out of his fist, but he still kept shouting hoarsely: "It's over, it's over, everything is over, we're still one step late." ”

A few people didn't see anything, but they already felt that there was a miserable resentment rising up in front of them not far away, although there was a sense of first and then but everyone did sense this sad and desperate atmosphere, the horse kept neighing as if they had sensed something, the dog barked and the chicken barked and every household walked out of the house, maybe they didn't have such a sensitive feeling, but it was also Mo Ming's frustration, and gradually people and animals were as silent as Han Yueqiu and the others, They paid a silent tribute to those who had died in the terrible battle not far away.

Qu Xiangtian was the first to ride on the horse and shouted: "Let's go, let's go, at least we can do the magic of reincarnation for the dead soldiers." As he spoke, he took the brunt of the whip and left, and the rest of the men were silent and rode away.

After about two days of Mercedes-Benz, the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, making people feel sick to their stomachs, Gao Huai trembled and said: "How many people have died with such thick blood and such heavy grievances." Han Yueqiu just asked rhetorically: "Do you remember the hexagram that Master calculated?" On that day, in the mansion of the Murong family in Samarkand, the capital of Timur, Mr. Shi once calculated a hexagram with Murong Longteng, and then wrote a line of words: Zhu Qizhen drove the expedition in person, the 200,000 army was annihilated, Shi Heng was in Yanghe, the Ming Dynasty was in danger, the capital was surrounded and mourned, and the world changed greatly.

Now that Zhu Qizhen is driving the expedition in person, Shi Heng Yu Yang and these two have come true, Gao Huai asked the point that everyone is most unwilling to admit, maybe the annihilation of the 200,000 army has also become a reality. The crowd slowed the horses and walked slowly, for the smell of blood in the air grew stronger the further they went.

Qu Xiangtian said in a low voice: "There are about 40,000 Warat cavalry, it should be an attack launched not long ago, it seems that the Mongolian ghost witch deliberately dragged us in Wei County." Han Yueqiu sighed: "Sure enough, they joined forces, if I remember correctly, Qiyan supported Tatar and Yili Jiangli, and Vala's national teacher was the right protector of the ghost witch, Qimud, and Qiyan was just to trap us and let Qimud and Warat's army come to encircle and suppress the army of Zhu Qizhen." ”

Qu Xiangtian said: "The eunuch misguided the country, in fact, if it is only like this, the army of more than 200,000 people will not fall into such a fate, if the military power belongs to me, even if Qi Mude is powerful, he will not be able to defeat my ten thousand arrows and guns in unison." Don't forget, no matter how high a person's ability is, he is just a mortal, and he will die when he hits and shoots, and he will be injured by arrows. ”

Zhu Jianwen pondered for a moment and asked, "Lao Qu, how do you know how many people there are in Warat, and why do you say that eunuchs have misled the country." Qu Xiangtian pointed to the grass on the ground and the side of the road and said: "This is the trace of the army passing by, the war horses in each place have different traces, you can roughly judge the horse species to know whose army, and look at the degree of damage to the surrounding grass and trees to roughly know how many people pass through here." As for the eunuch's misguided country, I won't talk about his detour to Wei County and framing Zhongliang to bewitch the emperor, what I want to say is his wrong decision this time, if according to the speed of the army's march, even if there is more baggage, it will only take about three days to reach Huairou, why is it delayed for so many days, it only takes about thirteen or fourteen days to travel from Wei County to Huailai, even if it is about fifteen days slower, it will definitely be reached. ”

Qu Xiangtian paused for a moment and seemed to think a little and then said: "You do the math, we were trapped for seven days, we set off on August 8, and it took eight days to rush to Xuanfu, so it is August 16. So if we count the day we arrived at Xuanfu, even if the army was slow, it should have entered Huailai, Huailai is a military town, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are abundant, and it should be a military town. If you march fast and fast for a day, one day is enough, but the smell of killing in the air is not far away, I think the army did not enter the arms at all, I deduce that there may have been a battle at Tumu Fort, and the army has stopped moving at a regular time, I don't know why. The battle-hardened general will naturally not be so confused, except for Wang Zhen, a eunuch who has misled the country, who else can come up with such a bad idea. ”

Everyone nodded, and continued to stroll forward, the reason why they did not run wildly was because they were afraid that the Warat cavalry would find out their whereabouts, and also to prevent the occurrence of a sudden situation.

About an hour later, everyone saw the trenches one after another, Qin Rufeng said: "This strategy is quite correct, Warat is mostly cavalry, and my Ming army is mostly infantry, only the trenches are far away with cannons and bows and arrows, and the middle to use fire to unify muskets, and close to the belly with spears to defeat the cavalry, it is really one of the good ways to break the cavalry on the defending side in the strong attack, but why there are no traces of battle on the ground." ”

When they looked around, they saw no bloodstains on the ground, not even a broken weapon or festering armor, but an empty trench. I can't help but be surprised, but there are too many strange military strategies along the way, so everyone is not surprised. Later, after returning to Beijing, a few people knew that they had also pretended to negotiate peace, and Wang Zhen believed that it was true and persuaded Zhu Qizhen to give an order, and the army jumped out of the trench and fled to Huailai, the only way back to Beijing.

Han Yueqiu and the others drove their horses forward for about three or four miles, and more and more soldiers fell to the ground on the road, and the dead people gradually became a piece, and several people still had a trace of illusion, because the dead corpses of the soldiers they saw now were only a few thousand, and they looked forward to seeing the confrontation of the army, and the Ming army was still holding on to one side. But when they turned a mound, everyone was stunned, because they saw the hexagram that they had known for a long time, and they saw the tragic scene, and the corpses were all over the field.
