Chapter 70: Siege and Interception

Glancing at Xin Ai with displeasure, I replied with squinted eyes and asked, "Xin Ai, do you say that the warriors of our clan are more important than war horses?" ”

Xin Ai's expression was stunned, and his expression was a little gloomy: "What Father Khan said is that the warriors of the clan are naturally the most important!" ”

Ignoring him again, I looked up at Bahan Najib and ordered: "Najib, go and tell you all my orders, order them to retreat to the northeast, and at the same time draw troops out of the battlefield as much as possible. ”

This is very clear in the heart of Bahannaji. Although he was a little ruthless, he could only give up some of the lives of the warriors who couldn't get out for the sake of the future.

Besides, Zhang Chi took Huyukou, but he didn't dare to move, not for anything else, because he thought that this Huyukou was the only exit for the Tartars to escape back to the Guanwai, and if he was not careful to defend it, it would be cheaper for the Tartars.

Therefore, he just sent more than 100 scout horses out of Huyu and went straight south, first, to find the traces of the main force of the Tartars to deal with it, and secondly, to contact Shen Chongming as soon as possible, so that he would know what to do next.

The sky was getting brighter, and the men and horses on both sides who had been fighting all night were also exhausted, and many soldiers fell off their horses and could not stand up again.

"My lord, let's take a truce for the time being!" Wang Chonggu, who looked tired, saw Shen Chongming appear, and hurriedly greeted him and said.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Shen Chongming also frowned, there were a lot of omissions in the plan this time, that is, it was too whimsical, and he actually ignored the physical exertion of the soldiers, which should have been a crucial point.

At this time, Xiong Dabiao also stumbled back with the support of two 3,000 battalion soldiers.

Looking at Xiong Dabiao's sunken eyes, Shen Chongming knew that it was impossible not to temporarily suspend the war.

"Alright! Mingjin retreats! Shen Chongming said a little helplessly, he knew in his heart that according to the current situation, once his side ceased fighting, he would definitely escape with people, and it would be difficult to entangle him again.

However, there is no way, if you persist irrationally, not only can the purpose of this battle be achieved, but the number of casualties is also unbearable, after all, to support a cavalry, the court will spend a lot of silver.

Hearing that the Ming army took the lead in sounding the gong, I Da, who had not slept all night, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the plan was good, the number of people who had been withdrawn by this time was less than 7,000, and if the Ming army did not quit, there was a possibility that they would be rounded up.

"Grandpa, without further ado!" Bahannaji cheered, but he was tortured so hard that he almost grabbed the ground with his head.

"Well, pass my order, the whole army will assemble immediately, throw away the baggage and materials, and immediately rush to the mouth of Wayao Fort!" I didn't reply to the order, and the guards around me responded one after another, and I slipped away to give orders.

"My lord, someone from Xuanfu is here!" As soon as the men and horses were withdrawn, there was no time to inquire about the casualties, and Brother Erdan walked over quickly with a dusty soldier with a happy face.

As soon as he heard that it was someone from Xuanfu, not only did Shen Chongming show surprise on his face, but even Wang Chonggu and the others involuntarily stood up, since someone from Xuanfu came, it meant that Zhang Chi's army of 30,000 had arrived.

"Tell me quickly, where are Lord Zhang's 30,000 horses now!" Without waiting for the messenger from Xuanfu to come closer, Shen Chongming stepped forward quickly and asked.

"Returning to my lordship, my Xuanfu 30,000 horses and horses took Huyukou yesterday evening, and now Lord Zhang is waiting there for your orders!" The words of the Xuanfu messenger were very short, but they made Shen Chongming stay there for an instant.

Wang Chonggu was also dumbfounded, this news was only one step late! If this man can deliver the news when there is no truce, then this group of Tartar soldiers will not be able to escape their fate, and now they want to disrupt their position again, and I don't know how many lives will be involved!

"Hehe, it's good to take Huyukou, but let's see how the Tartar who has cut off the way to retreat can escape this time!" Although Shen Chongming also felt a little uncomfortable, he still smiled and said to everyone.

Now Zhang Chi is holding the Huyukou in his hand, dealing with me is like catching a turtle in an urn, as long as I can destroy all the Tatar soldiers and this tartar soldier, no matter how much damage the soldier is, it is worth it.

"Report, the Tartars have fled!" A fast horse galloped in, but the news brought made everyone look at each other, and I replied that he fled so fast that he didn't even breathe.

"So fast!" Shen Chongming also felt a little funny, and it seemed that I was really cowardly this time.

"Lord Governor Qiqi, the Tartars are fleeing in the northeast direction, Lord Wei asks whether to pursue!" This express is the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, Wei Daqing has been at the forefront with them, and on this basis, the soldiers at the border pass all gave them a thumbs up.

Hearing this, Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, northeast.

"Say, the Tartar soldiers at Huyukou have escaped!" A flash of inspiration in his mind made Shen Chongming realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his head to the messenger and asked, asking this, but he felt that he was a bit of an idiot, someone must have gone out of the city in advance to give me a message, and now I can only hope that the Tartar soldiers are stupid and did not think of this section.

"This ...... According to the prisoners of war in Huyukou, their leader's name is Zha Jimu, but he has not seen this person after the city is broken, and it is very likely that he escaped! The messenger thought back for a moment and said that he was a lowly man, and that the news had also come from the guards who had participated in the interrogation.

"Alas! What a mistake! In the end, hope was extinguished, Shen Chongming beat his chest, like this, but he recalled the Tartar soldiers who almost killed him last night.

Originally, I thought that they were a small group of troops sent by Alta to spy on intelligence and carry out decapitation operations along the way, but now that I think about it, their identities are more like Tartar soldiers who escaped from Huyukou, otherwise I would not have sent such a few kung fu soldiers to carry out such an important task.

"My lord, do you want to break through to the mouth of the white sheep!" As the chief soldier of Datong Town, Wang Chonggu is also very familiar with the various passes on the Great Wall.

Shen Chongming is not bad, before this trip, he had carefully studied the topography map of Datong Town, and he also knew the distribution of passes and the deployment of troops.

"It shouldn't be Baiyangkou, there are three thousand men stationed there to defend, I will have to attack it for at least two hours, this is still going all out, but the current situation is impossible for him to use two hours to open up a retreat, so his destination should be somewhere else!" Shen Chongming shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, how many passes are nearby, which one is the easiest to break?" ”

"This ......" Wang Chonggu frowned and began to recall, and after pondering for a while, he was shocked and said: "It's not good, it's Wayaokou Fort!" ”

Shen Chongming couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of place is this tile kiln mouth fort.

Seeing his puzzled look, Wang Chonggu hurriedly explained: "This Wayaokou Fort is a small pass, just thirty miles east of Baiyangkou, where the garrison is only 500 people, but because the mountains outside the pass are steep and impassable for horses, the Tartars never go here
