After Lin Dan Khan said this, he rode his horse north, and at this time, his heart was already full of thoughts.

"Dai Qin has followed me for many years, but he is not a liar, I heard that all the soldiers and horses under Hong Chengchou are cavalry, so I was already a little vigilant, I expected that this road of soldiers and horses must not be good stubble, now it seems that it has really come true.

The 5,000 cavalry led by Dai Qin are already the brave and good fighters in our army, but they have suffered such a heavy defeat, then this Lu Ming army should be quite powerful. In the future, I will use Gansu, Ningxia, and Shaanxi as the pastures of my Chahar Department, and I will often come to hunt.

If the Ming Dynasty really has such a strong army that dares to fight and fights well, my Chahar Department will not be able to gallop freely here, and now I will definitely go to see if the more than 10,000 Ming troops who came are only the ones who are fighting with Daiqin are so strong, or everyone is so strong.

If only these 3,000 people are strong in battle, and the main enemy will send them out to fight for the purpose of giving our army a dismount, so that I mistakenly think that the Ming army's combat strength is so strong, and I am unwilling to fight with them and retreat, then I must lead my troops to the north, fight to the death with the Ming army on this road, and wipe out this Ming army, and our army can still graze horses here in the future.

If all the Ming troops are so strong, and our army really can't resist it, then I can only retreat, and the future of my Chahar can only rely on the favor of God. ”

After Lin Dan Khan turned a thousand thoughts in his heart, he ordered to Hu Luk: "Hu Luk, you quickly send someone to investigate the enemy's situation, and any movement of the enemy army must be clearly detected, and report to Ben Khan to know." ”

"Yes, Great Khan." When Huluk received the order, he sent cavalry to reconnoiter the enemy.

The scouts of the two armies often met between the official roads and the paths, and suddenly killed and injured each other, and the information of the two armies was also brought by their respective scouts to their own commanders.

The scouts on both sides fought fiercely, and the distance between the two sides became tighter and tighter.

At this time, both sides have marched to the left of Guyuan City, and Yang Qi, the commander of Guyuan, sent someone to ask Hong Chengchou if he needs to send troops to help, after all, now his main army is gathered near the left side of Guyuan City, and the governors of the three sides are in their own jurisdiction, so if they do not send troops, they are afraid that it will be inappropriate.

Hong Chengchou was quite fond of these suggestions, after all, there are many people, and they can always add some help, but Liu Renyu suggested that the soldiers are expensive, not too expensive, if the soldiers and horses in Guyuan City are allowed to fight, it will become a weak point in their own military formation, and when the time comes, there will be a little problem on their own side, these officers and soldiers with weak combat effectiveness and weak fighting will may be defeated, and then affect the overall situation.

Hong Chengchou was obedient to Liu Renyu at this time, because he immediately ordered Yang Qi, the general soldier of Guyuan, to guard the city, and if his own reinforcements were defeated, he would be responsible for receiving the defeated army into the city.

Yang Qi, the chief soldier of Guyuan, received such an order, such as hearing the sound of heaven, although he had a border army under his command, but he did not receive pay for a long time, and his fighting spirit and combat strength were at the bottom, if he relied on the city, he could still resist the Mongols, and seriously pulled out the soldiers and horses, and fought a tough battle with the Mongols in the field, and the Guyuan general army did not have the slightest confidence.

But Hong Chengchou is near the left side of Guyuan City, ready to fight a decisive battle with the Beiyuan army, this Guyuan general soldier Yang Qi feels that if he does not express a attitude, it is not beautiful after all, and now Hong Chengchou does not let himself fight, isn't it in the middle of the heart, so this Guyuan general soldier Yang Qi will follow Hong Chengchou's military orders, stay in Guyuan City, and sit back to see how Hong Chengchou and the Jingbian Fort Army, the first strong army in Shaanxi, resist the Beiyu army.

If the Jingbianbao Army, the strongest army in Shaanxi, can defeat the Northern Captives, Yang Qi plans to take his men and horses to attack and participate in the pursuit of the Northern Captives.

Yang Qi knew very well that if he let his Guyuan soldiers fight a hard battle that had no benefit, most of the Guyuan soldiers would not fight, but if they pursued the fleeing Beiyuan army, the Guyuan soldiers must be particularly motivated, because the Beiyuan soldiers were plundering everywhere, and there must be a lot of gold and silver treasures in their hands, treasures to play, chasing them, there is no risk, but they can get the head and obtain property, why not do it.

Hong Chengchou didn't know all the thoughts in Yang Qi's heart, what he was most concerned about at this time was how to fight this battle well, with 13,000 people, against the enemy's army of 50,000 northern captives.

The terrain of the solid plain, the hills and the plains are mixed, and the official roads are mostly repaired in the plains, Hong Chengchou and Liu Renyu walked with the Jingbian Fort army for a while, and they saw more than 50,000 Mongolian troops coming from a distance.

The hooves of 50,000 horses struck the ground in unison, even the earth shook slightly, and the smoke and dust brought by the 50,000 army rose into the air, blocking the sky. After these 50,000 troops saw the Ming army, they all stopped in unison, remained silent, and confronted the Jingbianbao army from a distance of 500 paces.

Although the cavalry of the Chahar tribe was repeatedly defeated by the Jurchens and other Mongols, this army was also a hundred battles after all.

The generals of the Jingbian Fort Army were accustomed to seeing big scenes, and when they saw the Mongolian soldiers and horses on the opposite side who were several times larger than themselves, their expressions did not change at all, and they were already calm and light, and their expressions were calm, as if there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses on the opposite side, but there were 50,000 soldiers and horses on their side.

The generals who stood with the generals of the Jingbian Fort Army were not as calm as their comrades around them, and the officers and soldiers under his command were not a little worse than the Jingbian Fort Army, or they were quite difficult to deal with when they encountered a little more thieves, as for these more powerful Mongols, who had been the enemies of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, his subordinates did not talk about fighting, generally speaking, if they met in the wild, they would definitely flee from the wind.

This time, because Hong Chengchou named him to take Li Mingzhe to go on the expedition together, he had to follow Hong Chengchou with his head, he has always been afraid of the Mongols, and has never had the confidence and determination to defeat the Mongols, it can be said that even if the same force is engaged with the Mongols, he has no confidence to win, not to mention that now the Mongols have 50,000 people, and his own side is full of calculations, only more than 13,000 people, such a force is not enough at all.

When Li Mingzhe saw the 50,000 Chahar army, he was so frightened that his face was like a blank piece of paper, his brain was blank, and his whole body trembled.

In the face of such a large number of Mongol troops, it was inevitable that Li Mingzhe was a little nervous, because even in the past, Hong Chengchou, who rose up in Hancheng and became famous in World War I, saw so many Mongol troops, in fact, he was more or less worried in his heart.

The Mongols are extremely strong, far from being comparable to ordinary thieves, and the Jingbianbao army can be outnumbered, so they can use 700 elite soldiers to fight 30,000 thieves, but they don't know if they can use 10,000 troops to defeat 50,000 Mongolian troops.

This battle can only be won, can not be defeated, if defeated, he may not lose his official position, but from now on the whole Shaanxi will no longer dare to fight with the Mongols mobile forces, the whole Shaanxi will become the Mongols' pasture, the news of the fall of the city will be sent to his desk again and again.

This battle is very important, Hong Chengchou did not really meet with the Mongolian army before the ambition, always thought that with the full assistance of the Jingbian Fort army, even if the Mongols have 50,000 troops, they can fight, but when he really saw the power of the 50,000 army face to face on the spot, for some reason, his confidence was inevitably greatly affected, for victory, he no longer has that firm confidence.

The difference between Hong Chengchou and Li Mingzhe, Liu Renyu saw it in his eyes, and he had a general plan in his heart, at this time, it was normal for his coach and Pao Ze to have some fluctuations in their hearts, what he needed to do was to instill in them the confidence of victory, so that they could relax.

"What's the matter, General Li, since the appearance of the Northern Army, your complexion has not been very good, aren't you afraid to see that the Northern Army has such might?" Liu Renyu said to Li Mingzhe with a smile.

Liu Renyu's words also happened to hit Hong Chengchou's heart, because Hong Chengchou deliberately turned his head to look at Li Mingzhe, and saw what this Guyuan general said?

Li Mingzhe saw Hong Chengchou staring at him directly, knowing that at this time, even if he was extremely afraid in his heart, he couldn't say anything about half a word of fear, so he looked solemn and replied loudly: "With Hong Zhishuai sitting here, and Liu Zongzhen's male soldiers helping to fight, what is there to fear from the 50,000 northern captives, the last general firmly believes that our army will win." ”

"Well, General Lee said it well." Hong Chengchou said in admiration.

Liu Renyu first praised Li Mingzhe and said: "General Li is really a hero, and it is really a blessing for this town to be able to kill the enemy side by side with General Li today," and then turned to Hong Chengchou and asked in a deep voice: "Commander, at present, the Mongolian army and our army are facing each other, and the big war is about to break out. ”

"Mr. Liu, you have experienced a hundred battles and are quite experienced, how to fight, you are independent, and this official will not interfere." Hong Chengchou simply handed over the command.

"Xie Zhishuai trusts." Liu Renyu bowed and said.

"General Li, from this moment on, our army will all be dispatched by Liu Zongzhen, and your troops will also be under Liu Zongzhen's control, can you write it down?" Hong Chengchou finished talking to Liu Renyu, and then gave an order to Li Mingzhe.

"Yes, the commander, the last general will take the order." Li Mingzhe first agreed, and then said to Liu Renyu: "Mr. Liu, if you are sent, you will definitely do your best to do it." ”

"Very good, General Li, you are a battle-hardened veteran, with higher qualifications than me, and I usually respect you a lot, but now you are above the battle formation, and another ugly sentence I want to say in front, when you engage the enemy, your two armies are one, whether you attack or retreat, you must act according to my orders,

If anyone in your army dares to disobey the order and act without authorization, no matter who it is, the town will kill him, it is the general, if you dare to retreat, I will also kill him, and in the same way, if I do not obey the order and retreat without authorization, the general can also kill me, I don't know if the general can hear it clearly? Liu Renyu's face was extremely serious, preaching battlefield discipline.

After hearing this, Li Mingzhe's face was red and white for a while, and he looked slightly angry, but after all, he still held back the unhappiness in his heart, and replied word by word: "Mr. Liu, please be relieved, although my Guyuan soldiers are not as good as the Jingbian Fort Army, they are all Shaanxi men who stand up to the sky and the earth, and they will never escape from the battle." ”

Li Mingzhe felt that Liu Renyu looked down on his own Guyuan soldiers, so he was naturally a little angry, and he said this loudly, quite bloody, and quite powerful.

"Okay, General Li's words are magnanimous, the town really admires the tightness, today the town is not very good at what he said, and I ask General Li to forgive me, and after the repulsion of the northern captives, the town invites the general to eat wine and dinner, and make amends to the general." Liu Renyu made a round.

"Okay, after repelling the northern captives, the last general will drink a few glasses of water and wine with Liu Zongzhen." Lee Ming-che readily agreed.
