The sun rises as usual.

However, today is not an ordinary day.

Geng Xuan stretched out his hand, felt the direction of the wind, looked up at the sky again, and then frowned: "Han Zhen! ”

"In!"

"Can the flying team take off?"

“...... Back to the general, there are some difficulties! The wind is too strong and the sky is overcast, and there is a good chance that it will rain! ”

"Oh!"

Geng Xuan was silent for a while, then glanced back at Tie Xuan beside him: "Lord Tie, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Tie Xuan put down the binoculars in his hand: "This official does not recommend dispatching the flying team, now that the situation outside the city is unknown, and the weather is unfavorable, our army should deal with it carefully, I suggest dispatching cavalry to try the quality of the Chiktu!" ”

"Well, according to you!"

"Someone!"

.......

"Gerben, let's talk about the appeasement!"

"Yes, Gulhan!"

Gerben is about forty years old, of medium height, slightly hunchbacked, with a slightly long face, a slightly curved nose, and a misty look in his eyes, it is difficult to see the focus of his gaze, but his voice is hearty, which is very different from the impression he gives people: "Last night, according to the order of Gul Khan, we instigated chaos in the seven guards around Helin, so far, Helin Zuowei, Wolf Mountain Right Guard, Yan Ran Left Guard, and Yan Ran Right Guard have been under my control, and the Ming army forces have all been cleared, and its leader will lead the army to join me in the near future, Participate in the siege of Wo Lin. ”

"However, the situation of the remaining three guards is not ideal."

"Among them, the right guard of Helin developed into a fight, and the Hagel Mountain, which supported our army, was commanded by Wei to kill Tasr Ilan on the spot, but the victorious Tasr Ilan did not move closer to Helin, but chose to flee north, and I don't know what to do at present."

"There was no rush in the left guard of Wolf Mountain, but the attitude was ambiguous, and he should still be in a wait-and-see state."

"The most troublesome Yan Ran Zhongwei, Sukeru suddenly changed his face, killed our envoy, and then disappeared into the heavy rain with his men, and our army couldn't catch up."

"The last general is not doing well, and I hope that Gul Khan will give him sin!"

As he spoke, Gerben fell to one knee.

"Hehe, Brother Gerben,"

Chiktu hurriedly got up, helped Gerben up, and laughed loudly: "It's no wonder to you about this, you have done quite well, now our army has added 20,000 elite soldiers, but the Ming army can only shrink and Lin Yiyu, Ben Khan's plan has been half successful!" ”

"Good work, Brother Gerben! Ben Khan will reward you again! ”

Chiktu patted Gerben on the shoulder heavily, and his tone was sincere and sincere.

Gerben was a little moved, and hugged his fists and said, "Leader Xie!" Thank you, Chief! ”

"Hmm,"

Chiktu nodded, returned to his seat, and said, "Brother Gerben, the matter of contacting the four guards is still left to you. In addition, "

Chiktu was silent for a while, and then said, "Gerchen listens to orders!" ”

"In!"

A young general in his twenties came out of the ranks.

"Ben Khan will give you 3,000 elite soldiers, and then transfer 3,000 people from Yan Ran's left and right guards to chase and kill Sukru with all his might, within five days, Ben Khan will see his head, can you do it?"

"The last general commands!"

"Okay, let's go down!"

Gerchen stood up and nodded at Gerben, who smiled in return.

After that, the generals reported on the relevant battles, and the Chiktu gave orders one by one, beating and praising at the same time, and the atmosphere in the tent gradually became warm.

At this moment, Tanma reported: "Gulhan, the Ming army has gone out of the city!" ”

"How many people? Is it all four? ”

“...... Yes, about 50 people per gate! ”

"Oh, probe again!"

"Yes!"

Chektu waved his hand.

......

"General, the tanma is back!"

"How's it going?"

Geng Xuan Huoran stood up and stared at Kuang Yi: "How about the loss?" ”

"Back to the general, the loss is not big, two hundred people were sent out, and more than one hundred and seventy people came back, but almost everyone who came back was injured!"

"Oh, call the leader of the thousand households!"

"Yes!"

It didn't take long for the four thousand households to arrive at Xingyuan, they looked a little tired, but their eyes were still shining, and under the gaze of Geng Xuan, Tie Xuan and others, they described in detail everything that happened when they went out of the city.

After listening to their descriptions, Tie Xuan and Geng Xuan frowned almost at the same time, then glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

......

"It seems that the situation is generally clear, there is no Mongol army within fifty miles, but after fifty miles, the Mongol defense line is very tight, the interception is extremely fierce, and the west and north are the most powerful, which shows that the guards on the northwest side have fallen into the hands of the enemy, while the situation in the east and south is relatively optimistic."

Tie Xuan stroked the beard on his chin and said with a serious expression.

"General Kuang, what is your opinion?"

"What Lord Tie said is not unreasonable, the Mongol army is besieging the city on all sides, it is inevitable, but the east and south are not necessarily optimistic, so far, not a single soldier from the surrounding guards has come to report to Lin, which shows that they either surrender to Chiktu, or are forced to stay away, anyway, they can't be counted on!"

"As for the strength of the enemy on all sides, the general thinks that it is necessary to consider the long term, and cannot easily make a judgment based on a single reconnaissance."

Kuang Yi's words made Tie Xuan a little dissatisfied, but Tie Xuan hesitated, but did not argue, but looked at Geng Xuan.

"Ting Yuan, what about you?"

Yes?

Mo Tingyuan, who was secretly thinking about it, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped out and said: "The general is above, the situation of the Mongolian enemy and the situation of the guards, it is still too early to say, and the last general thinks that our army should respond to all changes with the same. ”

"At present, our army is only 20,000, but it is well-equipped and well-trained, far from being comparable to the Mongolian rabble, and within thirty miles of the city, our army is engaged in a war with the Mongols, and it can be won."

"As for defending the city, our army is even more sure, and there is plenty of food and grass in the city, and it is not afraid of a long battle."

"Therefore, the last general thought that our army should defend Helin, drag the Chiktu to the death, and at the same time send an envoy to inform General Ping, let his army return, and then encircle and annihilate the Chiktu under the city of Lin, and wipe out the trouble of Mobei in one fell swoop."

"As for the enemy situation, at most one or two days, when the weather is clear, our army will send flying balls, which can be seen at a glance, and there is no need to argue at present!"

When Mo Tingyuan first started to speak, Geng Xuan nodded frequently, but when he said the last sentence, Geng Xuan glared at him fiercely - he couldn't speak!

Mo Tingyuan was a little baffled, he didn't notice that Tie Xuan's face became more gloomy.

"Well, what Ting Yuan said has a certain amount of truth, but what about the others?"

Geng Xuan took over the topic and continued to ask.

The rest of the people also spoke, but they were all the same.

Geng Xuan and Tie Xuan discussed a few words in a low voice, and finally issued an order, deciding to send Mo Tingyuan to lead 3,000 cavalry out of the north gate, and then turn westward to find the expedition's Ping'an headquarters and let it return to help as soon as possible.

.......

and Lin Chengtou.

Looking at the backs of Mo Tingyuan's generals, Tie Xuan sighed and said, "Mo Tingyuan, it's a general, isn't it a pity?" ”

"Yes, but if not, how can the Mongols be confused?"

Geng Xuan looked up at the sky and said lightly.

......

The news of the Ming army's departure from the north gate soon reached the ears of Chiktu, and he immediately ordered Chahar in the west to block the Ming army with all his might, and not let a single soldier go west.

At the same time, Chektu ordered Gerben to gather all the troops and prepare to encircle Helin.
