Wu Langha rushed to her camp in one breath, everything in front of her made her heart cold, the place where she had camped had become a ruin, full of smoking tents, scattered carts, and corpses lying on the ground, the people were gone, the cattle were gone, the camp was as silent as death, only occasionally a few horses that had lost their owners neighed and ran past, Wu Langha's tears flowed out at once, Tengger, this is so unfair, the family business she worked so hard to get was lost so quickly, How will she live in the future!

"Ming army, there are Ming troops there, I'll kill them." Chaolu suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, there was a group of guys wearing Ming army uniforms squatting on the ground and doing something very energetically, a few guys saw them and raised their knives to demonstrate to them, Wu Langha's slave soldiers gritted their teeth and wanted to rush over, Wu Langha called them sadly: "Leave them alone, blow the trumpet, blow hard, gather the surrounding people, I don't believe that none of our people are gone." ”

The horn sounded for a long time, and finally scattered some people came out of the hiding places everywhere, these people howled and cried when they saw Wu Langha, Wu Langha couldn't care about comforting them, and opened his mouth to ask where the people in the camp had gone, and several people told her that everyone had been taken away by the noble lord, and they fled north with their cattle, and everyone wanted to go home, and no one wanted to stay here.

Wu Langha immediately waved his hand and chased Chaolu and the slave soldiers northward, and the Ming army in the distance let out a mocking laugh when they saw them leaving, and then continued to crouch down to do their work.

Li Yu chased and killed all the way with the guard battalion, and constantly scattered the Chahar people who caught up, and then everyone was too lazy to do it, and directly scattered the other party. After dawn, Li Yu simply ordered Liu Shishi to roll up the banner, cross the chaotic fleeing procession, and rush forward, and the Chahar people couldn't figure out where this group of people came from, and saw that these people were also wearing red tasseled hats, old sheepskin jackets, and Mongolian in their mouths, and many people were still walking behind their butts.

On the official road leading to Hongci Fort, crowds, cattle and sheep, and wheeled carts filled the road, and the Chahar people were bustling forward, slowly walking towards the pass, at this time they seemed to be frightened, and the team was angry again, the children sitting in the car made a laughing and slapping sound from time to time, and some of the women also opened their shirts to breastfeed the children in their arms, and the men reminded each other while walking, don't go the wrong way, there are soldiers of the Great Khan guarding Zhenchuan Fort, and it is not good to run back, Maybe the big gap from the Hongji Fort side will be able to escape the side wall.

Li Yu and the cavalry of the guard battalion dismounted, mixed among the Chahar people and walked forward, chatting with the Chahar people around them, the Chahar people began to be wary of them - they didn't suspect each other's identity, they were in a mess last night, they heard someone shouting to go home, they ran with it, and no one knew who was attacking them, and the gang in front of them spoke Mongolian like them and wore red tasseled hats, they should be their own people, They were mainly afraid that the two men and the armor-clad soldiers were the Khan's Chinese Konot cavalry, and it would be bad if these people stopped them from going home, but these people did not seem to intend to embarrass them, and they were very kind to people, and it didn't take long for everyone to talk about it.

Li Yu chatted with an old man in Chahar as he walked, and he carried the big bag on the old man's back to his shoulder, and even the old man's seven or eight-year-old grandson hugged his horse, and the child giggled excitedly.

"You're the Great Khan's big official, right?" The old man asked with reverence, Li Yu shook his head with a smile, and the old man also smiled, "You can't hide it from me, I recognize the lance you hang on the horse, only the people around the Great Khan have this kind of good weapon, we ordinary people can't afford it, you must have fought last night, are those people soldiers of the Ming Kingdom?" They seem to be very powerful, they killed a lot of us, did you beat them away? ”

"It's not the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, it seems to be the people of the Barbarian Mountain, they ran away by themselves at dawn." Li Yu replied.

"No wonder it's so powerful, everyone privately says that their Humba Tulu is amazing, he can snatch all the great khans of our Great Khan, he must also be a hero, but he is a Mongolian, why do you want to help the Han people of the Ming Kingdom beat us?" The old man couldn't figure it out, in the minds of the Mongols, the heroes of the steppe must be their Mongols.

Li Yu didn't answer, he pointed to the donkey carrying two big bags in front of him and asked, "Uncle, what is your donkey carrying, why does it keep clanging?" ”

"It's all good things, there are iron pots, pots, chopsticks, plus some food, and there are quilts and clothes I got from the Han people in your back pocket, and this donkey was also brought out from the Han family." The old man was very satisfied with his harvest, and he told Li Yu that his son died in the war last year, and his daughter-in-law also starved to death at the beginning of spring this year, and that he and this grandson were left in the family.

The old man said that he was sad, his eyes were red, and Li Yu didn't feel good when he heard it, so he had to comfort him that if he didn't fight in the future, maybe life would be better.

Chatting all the way to the vicinity of Hongci Fort, the big gap that was opened by Wu Langha when he entered the customs has been widened to seven or eight zhang wide, the Chahar people who stayed here are people sent by the Otok tribes, these people do not belong to the tribes directly under Chahar Khan, and they are not serious about doing things, and they see a large area of their fellow countrymen pressing down, and they know that they can't stop it, so they simply run out of the pass, so this has become a passage for tens of thousands of Chahar people to go home, and the Hongci Fort not far away is still fluttering with the banner of the Ming army, However, the Ming army remained honestly on the tall and sturdy fortress walls, and watched silently as the Chahars walked under their noses.

Li Yu and the guard battalion climbed the gap with the flow of people, Li Yu said to the old man of Chahar that he wanted to stay for a while, he took the child off his horse, returned the pocket on his back to the old man, pointed to the way down the mountain, and told the old man to be careful, the old man pulled his grandson and led the donkey, and while walking down the mountain, he kept boasting to the Chahar people around him, what a good young man! If only the Taiji of his own tribe were as kind-hearted as him.

Li Yu stood under the side wall, looking at the winding team at the bottom of the mountain, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, Meng Ke said with a grin: "Big boss, the Chahar people are really bad enough, we are so casual that we block their retreat, do you want to beat them?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there are so many ordinary people here, you want them all to die in the pass? Let them go," Li Yu immediately refused, Mo Rige nodded appreciatively, and Li Yu then ordered, "Send someone to inform the Victory Castle, that we have already left the customs, and tell them to go back early, and you take the brothers down the mountain to rest for a while, and leave a few people to accompany me here to watch for a while." ”

Meng Ke, Jeddah and the personal guard battalion went down the mountain, and Mo Rige took Chen Erzhu, Liu Shishi and several other personal soldiers to follow Li Yu step by step, Li Yu leisurely looked at the crowded crowd of people, and from time to time also helped to hug the child and pull the old man, Meng Ke couldn't be idle, and after a while he quietly slipped up, and found a place to sit down and smoke, this guy had not been in vain for a day in Fort Victory, and he got a lot of tobacco leaves out of nowhere, and a few Chahar people smelled the smoke and came forward to find him to smoke, Meng Ke reluctantly gave them some tobacco leaves, the Chahar people had cigarettes, and they also happily gave Meng Ke some pieces of cloth, dishes and other messy things they grabbed from the customs, a middle-aged man also took his pocket to help him pack these things, and repeatedly told the young man that these things were used after leaving the customs, and they must be put away, and they had to be careful in their lives.

When it was close to noon, Li Yu was about to leave, when a cavalry blew a horn and came to the bottom of the mountain, the Chahar people were first confused, and then they honestly gathered under the banner of this cavalry, and the people who were climbing up the mountain also hurriedly retreated down the mountain, and the side wall was immediately much quieter.

Li Yu was guessing which Chahar leader was coming, when he saw a group of people crowding towards the mountain, people got closer and closer, the leader of the person had long hair fluttering in the wind, Li Yu recognized her at a glance, this woman who looked like the eldest concubine Abahai had too much influence on him, he remembered that this woman seemed to have said that she was Princess Wulangha, the sister of Chahar Khan.

"Isn't that the sassy woman we let go of in Kuku and Tun! What is she here for? Monk recognized it, too.

"I can't hide it, let's spread our banner," Li Yu commanded Liu Shishi in a low voice, and shouted at the woman with a smile, "Auntie, I didn't scare you last night, did you?" ”

Wu Langha was wondering where these tall and burly armored soldiers came from here, and when she heard the shout, she was stunned for a moment, and then immediately recognized the young man in front of her, who was a lot taller than others, and she first smiled and said, "Why are you here?" Stinky boy, don't call me aunt, call me sister," and then turned to his subordinates and shouted, "They are Tumuts, Chaolu, go and catch them!" ”

Chao Lu also recognized Li Yu, and shouted and pounced up, but Meng Ke was prepared, and before Chao Lu's knife was pulled out, a brick smashed on his face, and he rolled down the mountain with a howl at Chao Lu, Mo Rige and Chen Erzhu rushed up to the slave soldiers of Wu Langha, who were caught off guard, and the slave soldiers were beaten down the mountain one by one, and Liu Shi's black eagle flag was immediately unfurled in the wind, and the Chahar people were frightened and stupid, and they were at a loss for a while.

"Eldest sister, I'll go first, you can sit for a while." Li Yu said to Wu Langha embarrassedly, and then turned his head and went down the mountain.

Wu Langha roared: "Stinky boys are too bullying, catch them and catch them!" ”

Seeing the black and oppressive Chahar people chasing after them through the gap in the side wall, Li Yu was happy, the purpose of his arrival here was to lure the Chahar people out of the customs, he turned over and said loudly to the guard battalion: "This is our home, we are more familiar with the road here than anyone else, take the Chahar people around the mountain for a few days, drag them down and then return to the Barbarian Mountain." ”

The guard camp laughed and walked away, behind which were the more than 10,000 Chahars that Wulangha had just gathered.

After Zhao Ji and Li Yu divided their troops, they led more than 1,000 iron horsemen to gallop outside the city of Datong, as soon as they saw that the camp of the Chahar people was empty, they went in to kill people and set fire, and so the Chahar people were in chaos, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak out and change places to continue fighting, several weaker Chahar camps were defeated in a daze, and even the camp near Haizitan was set on fire by him.

On the way to retreat, Zhao Ji met Li Huai, who was collecting loot behind, Li Huai led a sentry and horses to drive camels, horses, cattle and sheep back, the harvest of this night was too great, and the Chahar people left behind incalculable cattle when they fled, and they could not collect them by dawn.

"Why haven't you gone back yet? The Chahars will chase after them soon," Zhao Ji pointed to the sky and ordered categorically, "Take the fast animals and run back." ”

The sentry chief Wu Dayou was very unconvinced and said: "What should I do with so many cattle and sheep? There is also the Ming army in Fort Victory over there who are also collecting loot, what are we afraid of? ”

"Do you want to die? The Ming army doesn't want to live as they please, let's go! Zhao Ji said with a whip that struck Wu Dayou's head slightly.

"The commander of the army is right, take the camel and leave quickly, don't want anything else." Li Huai also agreed with Zhao Ji's opinion, he knew in his heart that the first batch of four or five hundred war horses and more than a hundred cattle sent to Fort Victory had probably returned, if it weren't for Wu Dayou's too greedy, he would have left earlier.

Wu Dayou didn't dare to say anything more, and drove more than 500 batches of horses and camels to follow the team to speed up, and thousands of cattle and sheep were abandoned.

Zhao Ji's judgment was not wrong, after dawn by Chahar Khan put back the leaders of the various ministries quickly gathered their subordinates, is chasing towards the victory fort, Zhao Ji and Li Huai just arrived at the South Gate Fort, they heard the sound of rapid horses' hooves behind them, and countless pursuers in the distance were killing, Zhao Ji whispered a good fortune, and immediately shouted that Urden, who was guarding the door, closed the fort gate - the two outposts of Urden and Terrig did not participate in last night's night attack, and stayed in the Victory Fort to watch the fort gate, Li Yu had an extra eye just in case.

"Don't close the door!" Bai Xianzhi hurriedly ran over, he pointed to the front and said, "There are still our people, General Xing is still behind." ”

Zhao Ji took a look, and sure enough, there were still a hundred and ten Ming troops behind him who were howling and desperately running towards Nanmen Fort, and the Chahar Iron Cavalry was getting closer and closer to them, and they were about to catch up, Bai Xianzhi cried and begged: "Brother Zhao, take your people to save them, now only you can save them." ”

"Do you want my people to die? It's too late, and no one can save them now," Zhao Ji glared at Bai Xianzhi fiercely and waved his hand to Urden, "Close the door, and everyone will go to the fort wall to prepare to defend against the enemy." ”

The heavy fort gate was slowly closed, Bai Xianzhi closed his eyes painfully, it was indeed too late, there were four or five thousand Chahar iron horsemen who came all over the world, and in a blink of an eye, this small group of Ming troops was drowned - it was greed that hurt them, when the barbarian mountain iron cavalry attacked the Chahar people at night, they had been following far behind, and the countless corpses on the battlefield made them ecstatic, the first rank is military merit, military merit is official position, silver, those Tatars are stupid, they know that they are looking for livestock everywhere, and they don't want such a good thing, They harvested the heads of the Chahars as much as they could, each of them with their heads on their heads, and at dawn they found something better, and the Chahars had gold, silver, and jewels, and they were attracted by the stolen goods that the Chahars had looted, and they forgot the time, forgot to retreat, and searched for the corpses of the Chahars, which eventually cost them their lives.

"Brothers, all go to the fort wall and kill these **** barbarians." Bai Xianzhi shouted at the stunned Ming army, and rushed to the fort wall like crazy, the fort wall was soon full of barbarian mountain cavalry and Ming troops, and a large group of Shoukouyi people who were hiding in the corner also came out to help their fellow countrymen, bows and arrows, three-eyed guns aimed at the Chahar people who were getting closer and closer, Bai Xianzhi dragged out a few Ming soldiers and shouted: "Load the cannon, go and load the cannon, load the shotgun for me, and kill these beasts!" ”

The soldiers of the Ming army hurriedly loaded the gunpowder and cannon for Zi Gong, and then put Zi Gong into a thousand-pound Franc machine gun chamber, and then dodged away as if urging him to dodge from afar, Bai Xianzhi stood next to this cannon with a torch in his hand, and a pair of angry eyes stared at the Chahar iron cavalry that rushed over, closer, closer, do you want to open a bow and shoot arrows? I'll give you a ride first, Bai Xianzhi smiled and lit the rope, "Go and die!" With his roar, the Francophone spewed out a ball of fire, and the five or six Chahar cavalry companies that rushed to the fort fell to the ground with their horses howling, and then a rain of arrows shot at the Chahars, mixed with the sound of crackling three-eyed guns, the Chahars were suddenly hit hard and quickly turned their horses' heads and galloped away from the fort wall, and stood far away from the fort wall, shouting and shouting, but they did not dare to step forward anymore - the fort wall of the victorious fort was three feet and five feet high, and the wall was covered with blue bricks, which was not at all something that a group of cavalry could attack, After the two sides confronted each other until the sun set, the Chahars saw that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, and retreated with a curse.

Bai Xianzhi wiped the sweat on his head, and breathed a long sigh of relief, this day finally passed, and he felt a little scared when he calmed down, Fort Victory was actually empty to the extreme, if there were no two thousand people from Barbarian Mountain to help fight, Fort Victory might not be able to hold - Fort Victory and the nearby Zhenqiang Fort, the Four Castles and the Victory Pass constitute the defense system of the Great Wall on this line, according to the Ming military system, the Fort of Victory has more than 2,900 soldiers, equipped with more than 1,000 horses, and the Zhenqiang Fort two miles to the north also has more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 200 horses, Coupled with the defenders of the four castles, the victory mouth and the side wall of each pier, the strength is almost 5,000 people, and now the strength of the area around the victory fort is less than 2,000, the victory fort is not bad, there are seven or eight hundred Ming troops, plus more than 200 guards of the mouth, can barely protect themselves, but Xing Wanmin this guy took away more than 200 elites at once, many of them are officers, these people die, the defense of the victory fort has actually collapsed, at this time, it is too dangerous to stay in the victory fort.
