The garrison of the Chahan Brain Guard actually did not fight badly, after all, there were four thousand households in Hedong, and the veterans led the recruits to fight well, coupled with the cover of the foot guards, although the Chahar people were outnumbered, they could not defeat them, but because they had no armor, they were shot down by a large number of arrows. Deshenzhuang was anxious, personally led the team to charge, and shot a few cannons on the high ground, knocking down seven or eight of his team, Deshenzhuang was so frightened that he jumped off his horse and lay on the ground - this battle could not be fought, how could the Chahar people, who had never touched firearms, withstand the coordinated attack of the opponent's infantry and guns, and this battle was lost.

The situation on the battlefield is favorable, Zhang Ding's mood is very good, it is still beneficial to be the commander of the whole army temporarily, at least you can play with Li Yu's clairvoyance, this thing is good, the battlefield situation can be seen clearly - everything is as expected by the military affairs office of Zanhua before the war, the training, equipment and supplies are far inferior to the Chahar people of the Fengzhou army, although the number is several times larger, but they are tired and weak and weak, and the war horses also look thin and weak, and they can't run back and forth. They probably hadn't eaten enough for a long time, and they showed fatigue at noon, and they were beaten back step by step, and the men with wooden sticks and dung forks were all on top, but they still couldn't stop the offensive of the three infantry battalions of the Fengzhou Army, and at this time the Fengzhou Iron Cavalry had not yet moved, but Chahar Khan was humane and did not fill in the old and weak women and children.

Chahar Khan is crazy, and he dares to call for this bit of strength, then I will play with you - Zhang Ding thought so, and opened his mouth to give an order: "Order the left, right, and rear battalions of the infantry to advance in dense formations, and the front, right, and rear battalions of the cavalry to outflank the enemy, suppress the Chahar people with arrow arrays, and the two battalions of the Chahan Naoer Guards to cover the artillery battalions to assault forward, and each battalion to annihilate the opponent's forces as much as possible, and not to charge without authorization." ”

"Re-revise the order, the infantry battalions and the artillery battalion immediately charge, and expel the Chahar people from the battlefield as soon as possible," Li Yu's deep voice came, he didn't know when he stood behind Zhang Ding, his face looked a little ugly, and he waved his hand and continued, "Just win the battle, let's die less, order all departments to recruit the enemy as much as possible, and those who are willing to surrender will take care of the food." ”

The old problem of the handsome's soft-heartedness was committed again, Zhang Ding had no choice but to send the herald away, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Yu walking towards the Flying Tiger Camp under the slope with his whole body in armor, and hurriedly shouted at his back: "Dashuai, where are you going?" Don't put yourself at risk. ”

"I'll go to the front to protect that madman, he can't die at our hands even if he wants to." Li Yutou replied without replying.

The charge horn of the Fengzhou army sounded, and the iron cavalry, which had been recuperating all morning, suddenly accelerated, the cavalry of Baiyintu and Tulichen was in the center, the cavalry of Kubai and Chaolu was on the left, and the cavalry of Ma Jinzhong's acting battalion officer was on the right. The battalions of the infantry army are killing people, hearing the sound of the charge, the right battalion sentry officer Tie Biao screamed and rushed out, Manzhu, Hou Shijie did not have time to scold a few words, the left battalion of Haishan, the rear camp of Qin Hu also rushed to kill the enemy group, Tie Biao, Qin Hu is a famous madman in Fengzhou, Haishan is a fierce general of Zhushen, the three of them took the lead together, and the others couldn't hold back, the dense infantry formation was quickly disassembled, and each post launched a charge on its own, Manzhu and Hou Shijie also scolded and scolded, and one person killed it with a knife.

When the Flying Tiger Banner appeared on the battlefield, the shouts of "those who surrender do not kill" and "those who wish to surrender will take care of the food" immediately sounded, and the Chahar people collapsed instantly, and many people threw down their weapons and sat on the ground - they couldn't fight anymore, and Humbaturu of Fengzhou was also the Jinong of Chahar, as long as he was given a full meal, life and death were up to him.

Chahar Khan looked at everything that happened on the battlefield with a calm face, and Garma Jinong ran over in despair, and before he could speak, Chahar Khan smiled and preemptively said: "Ben Khan has long said that Li Yucha is the greatest hero on the grassland, and his Fengzhou soldiers can really fight, very good, very good!" ”

"Great Khan, Li Yucha is now our enemy, and he is about to fight, so retreat!" Karma was so anxious that he stamped his feet and shouted.

"Li Yu is Ben Khan's answer, there will be him only if there is Ben Khan, he will never dare to touch Ben Khan, Karma, you and all Hatun and the departments directly under Chahar will withdraw first, Ben Khan is the master of the grassland, and he can't run away like a rabbit."

"Great Khan, Li Yucha doesn't dare to hurt you, but his subordinate Tumuts hate you, let the old minister protect you and withdraw quickly!"

"Needless to say, you can leave immediately, and by the way, let Sutai Hatun take Kongol and Ada Hai to the Benhan car." Chahar Khan waved his hand and replied sharply, and Karma was so angry that he stamped his feet away.

The Chahars began to retreat to the west, and the people stranded on the battlefield saw that the general trend had gone, and surrendered to the Fengzhou army one after another, and the Fengzhou army seemed to be busy containing the prisoners, allowing the Chahars to retreat westward, turning a blind eye to the Chahar Daxu who was left behind leisurely, and the Chahar Khan with eight oxen almost swaggered away in the car.

After all, it is a family, Li Yucha can't do anything to kill them all-Chahar Khan thought lightly, while still playing with the young Ada Hai. Li Yu kept looking at the ox cart nervously from a distance, but he was scolding his brother-in-law in his heart, aren't you good at running for your life, but today you are playing tricks, you should run quickly, if something happens at my door, I will be in big trouble.

Chahar Khan was still careless, Li Yu let him go, it didn't mean that others spared him, the Ordos people who followed behind suddenly made a commotion, someone was shouting "kill the vicious Khan", and then a burst of random arrows came over, the Chahar people were caught off guard for a while, and they fell to the ground with arrows, and the guards and slaves around Chahar Khan first came to their senses - the Ordos people rebelled, and they immediately returned fire with bows and arrows. There were too many Ordos, and they pounced in an instant, and the guards and slaves saw that the situation was not good, and quickly surrounded the Great Khan in the middle, and used bows and arrows, knives and spears to desperately block the Ordos, and the Chahar people who reacted then also joined the battle group, and the two sides fought together with red eyes, and after a while, a corpse lay around the ox cart. The Chahars were outnumbered and gradually overwhelmed, and then sounded the call for help, and almost at the same time the Ordos people also lowered the flag to the Fengzhou army and blew the trumpet to ask for support.

"Kill these rebels, and don't let any of them go!" Chahar Khan blocked Sutaihatun and the children behind him, roared and raised his bow to shoot sharp arrows at the rebels - he looked at the rebels who rushed over, and guessed what was going on, it must be Erinchen's group of Ordos nobles who took advantage of the chaos to rebel, when attacking the Mongolian right-wing coalition army, this guy was Ordos Jinong, who was dismissed after the defeat and surrender, and the Ordos nobles also suffered from the Chahar people, they have always remembered this hatred, and they should have killed them in the first place.

The Chahar people caused infighting, which scared Li Yu to the point of terrification - what are you afraid of, the Great Khan must not die here with me. He raised his lance and shouted "Kill the rebels, protect the Great Khan", and rushed out without hesitation, Chen Erzhu blew the call for help at the same time, calling for the cavalry of each battalion to come for reinforcements, Meng Ke and Jeddah didn't understand what was going on, and followed closely behind with the Flying Tiger Battalion shouting and screaming.

Deshenzhuang got rid of the Fengzhou army, and was also rushing to this side, and was bumping into Li Yu, the two were old acquaintances, and they had drunk together in Jinlianchuan, but Deshenzhuang didn't want to reminisce at this time, and when he saw Li Yu, he raised his knife with red eyes and pounced on him - an old acquaintance, he almost killed him just now. Li Yu didn't have time to entangle with him, so he flashed the knife, and the horse crashed directly into it, and Deshenzhuang fell to the ground along with his thin horse, which was so tired that his feet trembled.

"The Great Khan is in danger!" Li Yu threw down a sentence and ran away, Deshenzhuang got up and looked forward, only to find that the situation was not good, picked up the big knife and limped behind.

The Chahars gritted their teeth to fight to the death to protect the Great Khan, and refused to retreat a step, and the Ordos people had the upper hand but couldn't gnaw this bone for a while, and suddenly found that reinforcements were coming, and shouted excitedly, and some nobles also ran towards the Flying Tiger Banner.

"Kill them!" Li Yu pointed at the Ordos people and shouted, Meng Ke and Jida were still looking at each other stupidly, Li Yu angrily raised his lance and slammed Meng Ke's helmet, "They are rebels who betrayed the Great Khan, Fengzhou can't tolerate these nobles, do you understand?" ”

If you don't understand, you have to understand, isn't it just to kill a few nobles, Meng Ke and Jida smiled and brought dozens of people to meet them, all holding short guns in their hands - the newly launched horse guns of Fengzhou Iron Works, the guns are about three feet long, the double tube can be fired twice in a row, and the range is 100 steps away, this thing is too expensive, and all the fifty branches that have just been created have fallen into the hands of the Flying Tiger Battalion.

A row of guns crackled and slammed over, and more than a dozen nobles fell to the ground in response, stunned the Ordos people, and the friendly troops opened fire on us, what the hell is going on? Before they could figure out what to do, the knives of the swarming Flying Tiger Battalion were slashed on their heads, and the Ordos people were caught off guard and immediately became confused. At this time, the trumpet of the Fengzhou army sounded around again, countless Fengzhou iron cavalry rushed over, Karma also arrived with Chahar reinforcements, and they were forming a siege, the Ordos people were completely desperate, and they no longer had the heart to resist, the nobles with horses took advantage of the chaos to flee in a hurry, and the common people simply sat on the ground and listened to their fate, anyway, they were tired and hungry and couldn't run.

The Ordos rebellion was quickly quelled, and thousands of captives were driven together and slowly marched south under the escort of Fengzhou iron cavalry armed with swords, spears, bows and arrows. The Chahars surrounded the Great Khan's chariot layer by layer, watching nervously the movements of the Fengzhou army, and Garmajinong also led hundreds of armored cavalry to confront the Flying Tiger battalion.

Deshenzhuang limped with a spear, and when he passed by Li Yu, he spat at the ground fiercely: "You finally have a conscience, quickly compensate my horse!" ”

Li Yu nodded and waved back, Mo Rige took a horse and handed it to Deshenzhuang, and the guy stretched out his hand again: "There is still food!" ”

Li Yu smiled and threw a bag of dry food over, and Deshenzhuang got on the horse, nibbling on the tortilla while walking towards his team. Li Yu sighed softly, and shouted to the Karma who had been staring at him not far away: "It's not too early, escort the Great Khan on the road, go as far as possible, and come back when you figure it out." ”

Chahar Khan's ox cart started, and then a child's voice came from the car, "Uncle, uncle" - Kongol lay on the carriage and shouted, and then Chahar Khan also appeared, holding a child in his arms, he pointed to Li Yu and said something to the child, the child hesitated for a while, and finally shouted - "Daddy", and immediately turned his back and lay in Chahar Khan's arms.

Li Yu's eyes were red, it was his son Ada Hai, he waved his hand to Chahar Khan, Chahar Khan also held Adahai's small hand and waved, neither of them expected that this was the last time they would meet.

The Fengzhou army won a complete victory in this battle, their own casualties were less than 1,000, and most of them were arrow wounds, which should be able to heal quickly, killing not many enemies only more than 3,000 people, but there were 28,000 prisoners, mainly Ordos, and the captives who lost their leaders returned to their hometowns and would soon be integrated into the Fengzhou family. The actual loss of the Chahar people is not large, the tribes directly under it are basically intact, Chahar Khan still has the strength to continue to maintain it for a while, Li Yu is also glad that he did not die in his own hands - the Mongols value bloodline, orthodox, the Oirats in the Jingtai period are dehuan, and the father and son are rampant in the Mongolian steppe, but they dare not easily move the Great Khan to get rid of it, and they don't even dare to usurp the throne, and Li Yu doesn't want to make trouble for himself.

Li Yu crossed the Yellow River along the pontoon bridge, and Batu was already waiting on the bank—he led the Dongshengwei reinforcements to arrive a long time ago, and he stayed in the set without crossing the river. Batu pointed to the endless captive team, and joked with a smile: "Yuzi, you have won the battle again, there are really a lot of prisoners, there are 30,000 men, women and children, you are really rich, you can feed so many people." ”

"I have no conscience, I am adding a population to you, you are the commander of the western Taiwan, and you should worry about supporting the population." Li Yu pursed his mouth, and casually grabbed Tuo Yangkun, who was smirking on the side, and said, "Scorpion block, you have also been promoted now, and your knowledge must have made great progress, you say, why do we want to contain so many Ordos people." ”

"This is because we govern Fengzhou with a policy of checks and balances, and now there are more and more Han people in Guannai, and if they are allowed to develop, the population comparison of various ethnic groups will inevitably be unbalanced, which will affect the stability of Fengzhou, so we must integrate as many Mongolians and Zhushen as possible into Fengzhou," Tuoyangkun has spoken more and more at a high level since he was promoted to Dongshengwei Tongzhi, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, but Tuoyangkun then said dejected words, "But, the Great Commander, pull this one today, pull that one tomorrow, when is it a head?" It's not easy to eat a full meal for a few more days. ”

"Wait slowly, when Toyosu merges into a family, you can eat enough every day, as long as your teeth haven't fallen out at that time." Batu smiled and patted Tuoyangkun.

"Don't talk nonsense, is the meal ready?" Li Yu said impatiently.

"It's ready early, corn paste boiled yam eggs with salted radish, and each person can also share a piece of horse meat." Tuoyangkun pointed not far behind him, where hundreds of large iron pots were steaming, and the captives who had crossed the river first had already eaten.

"I'm also hungry, go drink two bowls of mush, inform Du Hongtai to report to Yulin and Guyuan, and ask for food by the way, I guarded the Yulin border wall for Mingguo, and I can't let me work in vain." Li Yu said and walked towards an iron pot.

Soon after Li Yu returned to Shenshuitan, he received a letter from Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Yulin, in which he praised the naturalized army for breaking the trap, but at the same time called it poor, saying that he was also short of food and salary, and could only make up 500 stone beans to express his feelings, and suggested that Li Yu go to his top boss Liu Zhilun to ask for money and food, and Yulin Town could not afford to manage the jobs of the naturalized guest army.

Hong Chengchou's letter came relatively late, and the letter revealed the whereabouts of Chahar Khan - this guy was active again, ran to the NX side to blackmail, beg, and robbed if he couldn't get anything, NX general soldier He Huchen went out of the customs to clear the crackdown, but unfortunately died in ambush, and the court has sent Ma Shilong to take over as NX chief soldier. Hong Chengchou asked Li Yu if he could send troops to the west to attack Hudun Tuhan, and he lacked war horses there, hoping that Li Yu could help, and he had sent someone to escort three thousand taels of silver as an advance payment.

Li Yu secretly scolded Chahar Khan in his heart for going crazy again, not going to the Western Regions to grab territory, but entangled with the Ming Kingdom again, how could his strength be better than the Ming Kingdom? If you find your own death, you can't blame others. Lord Hong's actions still made him very grateful, the three thousand taels of silver were actually disguised assistance, he thought for a while, felt that he could not take advantage of it in vain, and ordered three hundred horses from the spoils of war to be sent to Guyuan, and then wrote back to Hong Chengchou - Li Yu analyzed that although the Han Dynasty was newly defeated, its population was still more than 50,000, and the strength of the directly subordinate departments still existed, and the towns in the northwest were busy suppressing thieves, and the border guards were seriously insufficient, and the border walls were already dilapidated, and there were no garrisons in many places, and the enemy was outside the border walls, It is better to guard the key pass and let it walk in the remote places, the Han is a tired many, and it will be overwhelming for a long time, Li Yu also politely refused to send troops, thinking that the northwest is desolate and cannot be replenished, if there is no large amount of money and food support, the army will collapse without a fight in half a month, and it is better to let the Han destroy itself.

Chahar Khan and the Ming Kingdom don't care about it, Ordos now has a population of 70,000, so that everyone has something to eat is the top priority, Li Yu and Batu are in a hurry, urging the old king to enter the customs again and again to find food.

In mid-June, the eldest king returned to Shenshuitan, followed by the triumphant Sun Tingyao, and when he saw Li Yu, he immediately showed his merits, and he contacted Sun Tingyao, who was in Xi'an Mansion, and finally got 5,000 stone rice beans from southern Shaanxi, which were being shipped out of the side wall one after another.

"Boss Sun, no, Brother Sun, you are a big savior, you say, how should I reward you." Li Yu hugged Sun Tingyao excitedly.

"Commander, I've been practicing cavalry and archery at home for a long time, and I've read a lot of military books, I think, I want to go to the army." Sun Tingyao's face turned red as he spoke.

"Well, it's not impossible, but it's ......, forget it, let's talk about it later, Master Wang is sick, I'll go see him first." Li Yu hesitated for a while, and found an excuse to raise his leg and slip away - Wang Zheng was tired, the old man was the treasure of Fengzhou, of course he had to visit.
