Li Rusong's killing has not stopped, and Xiao Ruxun's interrogation has begun.

Li Rusong is more concerned about how to kill all the enemies in front of him, while Xiao Ruxun is more concerned about the whereabouts and strategies of the northern captives, and there should be a lot of useful information from the mouths of these captured border guards, Xiao Ruxun believes so.

Sure enough, after a period of harsh interrogation, Xiao Ruxun got some very important information, and he realized something very terrifying.

First of all, Xiao Ruxun asked them where they came from, and they wept and replied that they were captured captives from Datong, not deliberately, but they were really afraid of death, and begged Xiao Ruxun not to kill them.

Xiao Ruxun promised not to kill them, and then asked how many northern captives there were in the barracks, whether there were more than 40,000 northern captives as rumored.

The captured soldiers wept bitterly and replied that when they attacked Pingxingguan, the army of the northern captives had already divided into two routes, one to attack Yanmen Pass, and the other to attack Pingxingguan, with more than 50,000 people on each road, and the road they followed was the 50,000 horsemen of the Tumut tribe.

After capturing Pingxingguan and looting and killing, they divided their troops into two routes, 10,000 horsemen all the way south to Taiyuan, and 40,000 horsemen all the way to Bauhinia Pass, burning and looting all the way to attack the city, causing a large number of lumens, and arrived at Bauhinia Pass to storm onslaught.

But the strange thing is that four days after arriving at Bauhinia Pass, most of the 40,000 horsemen quietly left Bauhinia Pass at night, leaving only about 5,000 horsemen to continue the attack at Bauhinia Pass, and most of them did not know where to go.

Xiao Ruxun immediately realized that this was the crux of the problem, so he asked where these northern captives went, and the captives looked at each other, only saying that it was late at night, and they were all asleep, and when they woke up, they found that the northern captives army was gone, but it was unknown where they went.

Xiao Ruxun asked again, saying that he would reward the person who provided the clue with five taels of silver, and finally one person raised his hand, and cautiously said that he got up in the middle of the night to relieve his hand, and saw some dark shadows through the fence in the direction they came.

It was supposed to be going west, and he didn't know it after that, because he only saw so much, and he didn't care at the time.

The 35,000 cavalry quietly left the Bauhinia Pass at night, or four days after arriving here, they first stormed the Bauhinia Pass, and then left bizarrely, why is this?

Xiao Ruxun thought carefully, and suddenly remembered what Chai Guozhu had said in his mind - they attacked very fiercely at the beginning, but recently they didn't know what was going on, and it became like this......

If they really deliberately attacked the Bauhinia Pass just to attract the main force of the Ming army in the Kwantung region, and not let the main force of the Kwantung region go out of the Bauhinia Pass to enter Shanxi to fight, then the initial onslaught can be understood, it was to leave the Ming army with the influence of the strong and good fighting of the Ming army to storm the Bauhinia Pass, so that the cowardly Ming army would not dare to go out of the pass.

The purpose of leaving 5,000 people is to continue to maintain this impression, and once the habitual thinking is formed, it is not something that can be changed by a few words from a few people.

Whether it is Li Chengliang or Chai Guozhu, they are all famous generals for a while, but they are the people who have been guarding the pass and stubbornly not daring to attack.

Leaving such an impression, with such an impression that the Ming army rested on its laurels and did not dare to attack, thus winning the goal of achieving the real strategic goal, their strategic goal was never Bauhinia Pass or Jingshi, but ulterior motives, what it was, probably related to the direction they left.

However, if it is only to take away the looted materials to facilitate the retreat, there is absolutely no need to attack the Bauhinia Pass, and their real purpose must be solved by means of war, so as to buy time and prevent the arrival of reinforcements from interfering with them.

What are they for?

Wait a minute!

Xiao Ruxun suddenly thought of something.

"Let me ask you, what do the Beiyu eat these days when they march and fight? What exactly is military rations? Tell the truth, and do not conceal it. ”

Xiao Ruxun asked these soldiers sharply.

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and then a leader said: "The villain doesn't dare to hide it from the admiral, these northern captives eat wheat rice, grain, a lot of grain, they eat three meals a day, each meal is dry rice, and what we give us is a few bowls of gruel." ”

Xiao Ruxun's eyes suddenly widened.

"It's cold in the north, it's cold in Guanzhong, there is a shortage of food everywhere, and the northern captives also came to the south to seize food because they had no food, if they had enough food to the point where they could eat three dry meals a day, why did they go south to plunder? Isn't this a great fallacy? If you dare to talk nonsense, I will not spare you. ”

Seeing this, Wang Hui beside Xiao Ruxun immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Gun pawn!" ”

There was a loud bang, and hundreds of muskets were aimed at the soldiers, who were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

"Don't dare! Don't dare! Admiral! The villain and others dare not hide it in the slightest! Don't dare to hide anything! ”

Seeing that their kowtowed heads were bleeding, and there was no sign of lying in their tones, Xiao Ruxun waved his hand and asked the soldiers to put down their muskets.

"Do they really eat wheat rice three times a day? Or dry rice? ”

"Yes, it's all wheat rice, it's all dry rice, they have a lot of food, cart by cart, now, it shouldn't be finished yet, the admiral can see it when he captures their big camp, it's all wheat rice, our brothers don't know where they got so much food!"

Xiao Ruxun frowned, faintly feeling that the situation was wrong, very wrong, if there was so much food in the north, why did he go south to plunder?

The only purpose of their southward movement was to rob food, not to fight a national war with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it would not be just a feint to attack the Bauhinia Pass, but if they had enough food, why did they go south? This is clearly contradictory.

On the premise that there is so much food, it can only be said that there is another purpose, but all kinds of signs show that they are going south for food, but they get so much food, and eat three dry meals a day, if it is only one here, it is not justified, if all of them are like this, it is too terrible.

The temperature plummeted, the grain production was greatly reduced, and the entire northern region was in short supply, and I don't know how many people were sent to Myanmar, where did they get so much food?

Xiao Ruxun's interrogation continued, and Li Rusong's attack had come to an end, to be honest, when he went to the battlefield and began to fight with the Beiyu, he had not fought such an easy one-sided slaughter battle, in this battle he directly led his troops to rush and fight, and the Beilu was almost powerless to fight back.

He rushed to kill, and suddenly he felt empty in front of him......

He had already killed through the enemy formation, and there were no northern captives in front of him, and when he looked back, a small number of northern captives were still fleeing, but basically there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him.
