The pre-war military meeting of the Grand Commander's Office was still going on, and Ma Guangyuan stood up and explained the military situation to everyone:

At present, all units of our army have been distributed 10 days of food, grass, ordnance, and arrived at the designated position to assemble and standby, according to the order of the military affairs office of Zanhua, Fengzhou Wei 5,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry all crossed the Heihe, set up camp with Kuku and Tun as the center, and launched a search to the surrounding area, Xuandewei 5,000 infantry, 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry of the Manhan Mountain battalion also arrived at the south bank of the Heihe River to build a camp, the above three are the first route army of our army, a total of 15,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, the task is to hold Kuku and Tun, Attract the main force of the Jin army, and consume the strength of the Jin army, and create favorable fighters for our army.

The Second Route Army is 6,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry of Dongshengwei, and the assembly place is Baoketu, and the task is to guard the flanks and prevent the Jin army from crossing Daqing Mountain and flanking our army along the Yellow River.

The Third Route Army was 6,000 infantry and 1,500 cavalry of Xinghewei, and the assembly place was Weining Haizi, the situation here was already clear, and a decisive battle with the Jin Army of the South Road was inevitable.

The Fourth Route Army is the main force of our army and is also a mobile strike force, which is currently deployed in the Yinmahe battalion, including four fully manned infantry battalions with a total of 4,000 people, a 500-man artillery battalion, and 500 reserve cavalry that have not been incorporated into the battalion.

The Fifth Route Army is the reserve force of our army, including 4,000 reserve infantry and 4,000 Qingzhuang and Shoukouyi people in Guannei, a total of 8,000 people, who stayed behind to reorganize the camp of the Barbarian Mountain in order to replenish the battle losses at any time.

After Ma Guangyuan finished speaking, he smiled bitterly and said: "In this battle, almost all the young people who can hold knives and guns are used, but the advantage in strength is not big, so we can only grit our teeth and fight, but unfortunately we can't be sure which mountain pass the main force of the Jin army goes south from, so we have to put Dongshengwei in Baoketu just in case, and the main force does not dare to rush up." ”

"Ma Guangyuan, what are you throwing us into the Fifth Route Army for? We are here to fight, not to see the excitement, so we changed it immediately, and I will go wherever there is a war. Ma Xianglin slapped the table and shouted as soon as Ma Guangyuan finished speaking.

"In charge, he looks down on our stone soldiers, Xiao Li is here, it will definitely not be like this." Zhang Fengyi said angrily.

Ma Guangyuan wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Hu Dawei also shouted: "This is obviously bullying people, all of us are good players, if we don't kill a few Jianyi to get some military merits, do you still have the face to see people when you go back?" Lao Bai, Xiao Cao, you say this is the reason. ”

Bai An and Cao Bianjiao nodded vigorously, and a group of people made a big noise around Ma Guangyuan, and Ma Guangyuan was so speechless that he was speechless. Jin Sheng glanced at Ma Shiying and Liu Wenzhong, these two people were still stunned, the three of them were invited to attend the meeting, but it was not their turn to speak here, Ma Shiying and Liu Wenzhong only planned to come here to show their faces, and immediately after the meeting, they slipped to the victory mouth to avoid risks, but they didn't expect the sun to come out of the west, and the Ming army also had a fever brain to play with.

Du Wenhuan's personal soldiers hurriedly came in and handed over the two letters to him, Du Wenhuan read it, handed it to Ortai casually, and then slowly stood up and glanced into the lobby.

"The main force of the Jin army appeared, Fengzhou Wei found the scouts of the Jin army near Daqingshan, and Dongshengwei clashed fiercely with the vanguard of the Jin army." Du Wenhuan said expressionlessly.

"Omulun, a bastard who doesn't recognize his father, actually surrendered to the Jin army, and dared to fight us with the Jin army, old man, see if you need to support Dong Shengwei." Ortai was furious at the case - Batu said in the letter that Omulun led the Jin army out of the Daqingshan Pass and went straight to the east bank of the Yellow River, and Dongshengwei was sending troops to clear it.

"No need, the Jin army even used the rebellion of the rabble, it can be seen that its troops are not much, it is just to pursue the Chahar people or rob property, Dongshengwei is farther than Fengzhou Wei, but the two letters arrived at the same time, indicating that the Jin army harassed Dongshengwei at the same time, and did not hide its purpose of going south to Kuku and Tun, this is to seek a decisive battle with our army," Du Wenhuan said coldly, and then issued a military order to the generals loudly, "The decisive battle between Kuku and Tun is inevitable, and the barbarian mountain camp and the Xuandewei department are ordered to immediately cross the river to prepare for battle, Ordered all the main forces of our army to immediately set off to Kuku and Tun, and ordered Dongshengwei to immediately rush to Kuku and Tun to participate in the decisive battle after clearing the miscellaneous troops of the Jin army, and the above orders were notified to the commander. ”

"What about us?" Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi shouted, and Bai An, Hu Dawei and Cao Bianjiao also looked at the old handsome.

"You join the Fourth Route Army and come with us to Kuku and Tun." Du Wenhuan replied with a slight smile.

"I'll go with you, old man, don't worry about it, the battlefield command is still yours, I just want the children to see me when they kill the enemy." Ortai stood up and said, he has a high prestige in Fengzhou, when Li Yu is not there, he is the helmsman of the Great Commander's Mansion, followed by Li Fugui, Li Huai can only be ranked third, no one has ever made this provision, but everyone thinks so, with him in the army, the heart is stable.

"I'll also take a trip, and the infantry of the guards will be handed over to me, with me, the villagers will be at ease." Wang Ziyong also said that most of the infantry of each guard are young immigrants, and their task is actually to exchange their lives for lives to consume each other, which is a bitter battle, and Wang Ziyong can indeed play a role in boosting morale.

"Wang Yanshi, I'm really sorry for you." Du Wenhuan felt a fever on his face, and said to Wang Ziyong in a low voice.

"This is also no way, we have been defeated, you can continue to fight, if you collapse first, we have no way at all," Wang Ziyong smiled bitterly, and thought of Wang Jiayin for a while, and said with emotion, "Leader Wang said before he died, we rebels will die sooner or later, and it is worth dying for the villagers, and now it's my turn." ”

The Fengzhou army set off overnight, with the sound of the departure horn, the drinking horse river suddenly became lively, the flag is fluttering and the horse is also dashing, the young people carry knives and spears firmly out of the camp, the people of Fengzhou hold torches, see off their relatives on the road, no one cries, only a sentence of encouragement to the relatives to fight bravely to kill the enemy, they all know that this is a battle for survival, tears do not play any role.

The marching procession stretched north under the light of the fire, Li Huai, Li Fugui, Yun Rong, plus a dejected Bai Xianzhi, watched their team go away, and the familiar people were gone, but they were left to guard the camp and organize the soldiers and horses.

Li Huai's eyes flashed with tears, I am afraid that many of these villagers will not be able to come back, so he couldn't help but weep and whispered: "After this battle, no matter whether you win or lose, Fengzhou will be greatly damaged, why doesn't God have mercy on my Fengzhou children?" ”

"Yushan, don't say frustrating words, look at what kind of people are in our team, there are Han, Mongols and Zhushen, there were still resentments between them in the past, but today they are like brothers who shed blood to defend their homeland, after this battle, all the problems have been solved, and Fengzhou will be stronger in the future." Li Fugui said firmly.

Namur, who went out with the army, rode on a horse, looked at the team that was moving forward like a fire dragon, and suddenly felt a surge of blood surging above his head, grabbed Wang Fang who passed by, and said loudly: "Do you remember the song of the Taixi tune I taught, ask your people to lead everyone to sing together, we are going to win the battle, and we must move forward with our heads held high." ”

In a short time, the ranks resounded loudly singing, first the people of the mission department sang loudly, and at the end all the officers and soldiers sang in unison, death was forgotten in the song, and everyone was full of desire for victory.

"When Fengzhou Fengtian carried,

Resolutely rise from the green grassland

Rise, rise, rise

Rise from the green steppes

This is the love of God

The favor and favor of the earth

The gods of Guardian Heavens sang in unison

Let's fight, Toyoshu

Toyosu conquered the world

The people of Toyosu will never, never, never be slaves

Thou art the most holy of all nations

It is your mission not to be enslaved, not to be noble or lowly

Mission, mission, mission

Divine mission

Prosperity is with you

Freedom and equality go with you

Fear and jealousy are the feelings of foreigners

Let's fight, Toyoshu

Toyosu conquered the world

The people of Toyosu will never, never, never be slaves

Thou shalt rise majestic

Foreign offense only makes it more frightening

Fear, fear, fear

Make them even more afraid

Storm Thunder Heaven and Earth wept

Our people stand like oaks

The foundation is strong and loyal to you

Let's fight, Toyoshu

Toyosu conquered the world

The people of Toyosu will never, never, never be slaves"

"Let's fight, Fengzhou, Fengzhou will fight the world, Fengzhou people will never, never, never be slaves" - Hu Dawei hummed quietly, suddenly turned his face and said: "Lao Bai, do you feel this way?" We also look like Toyosu people, Xiaocao, what do you think? ”

"I feel that the blood all over my body is hot, Jiannu come on, I want to kill them." Cao Bianjiao's face was flushed with excitement.

Bai An smiled faintly and said: "Be patient, this battle can be fought with your life, there are not only our fellow villagers here, but also the families of many brothers, who can only win and not lose." ”

"Hurry up, go get a few people to help push the cart." Jin Sheng hummed a song while urging the artillery battalion to hurry, Ma Shiying and Liu Wenzhong had already run away, but he believed that Fengzhou would win and insisted on staying to witness this victory.

The cart covered with straw was pushed out of the pit by the soldiers, Jin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and drank a thin man with a small head: "Shi Lao Liu, your carts are heavy, what are they in?" ”

"My lord, it's all the mines you made up, I brought all the good things, and Jianyi has a hard time." After Shi Laoliu finished speaking, there was a strange laugh, this guy was originally a craftsman in the ordnance workshop of Datong Town, and he made a few firecrackers to Fengzhou to sell them privately, Ma Guangyuan took a fancy to the work he did at a glance, and sent him to the Titang Division casually. Titang made Zhang Shi'an clear his identity as a Jinyi guard, and gave him two choices, either obediently go to the Ordnance Department as an assistant to the artillery station, first give a thousand general titles, and do a good job to be promoted to the capital division next year, or transfer to the Datong government with private weapons, and sentence him to be sent to the Ordnance Department as a craftsman. Of course, Shi Laoliu was willing to be an official, so he stayed in Fengzhou, Ma Guangyuan inadvertently picked up a treasure, this guy made firearms and mixed gunpowder is simply a genius, and he is familiar with the pile of firearms in the cannon battalion, and he has to bring him with him this time.

"Shi Lao Liu, do a good job, after this battle is over, I will immediately mention you as the capital secretary." Jin Sheng happily patted Shi Lao Liu's shoulder, and this guy couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

Sun Tingyao quietly rushed to Du Wenhuan's side, and Du Wenhuan exclaimed in surprise: "Bo Xi, why are you here too?" This is to go to war! ”

"Du Shuai, I, I, I brought all the merchant troops." Sun Tingyao blushed, he didn't dare to say that he wanted to be a general since he was a child.

"Forget it, you better go back," Du Wenhuan waved his hand and said, the rabble that Sun Tingyao and his gang had made up couldn't arouse his interest, but when he saw Buck behind Sun Tingyao, his eyes lit up, "I remembered you, your name is Buck, the big leader of the caravan, I heard that you are very familiar with the roads and terrain of the grasslands in the north and south of Daqing Mountain, is that so?" ”

"Lao Shuai is right, I can run in that area with my eyes closed." Buck replied.

"Well, we will fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Jin army in Kuku and Tun, and the general commander will fight with the Jin army on the South Road in the area of Weining Haizi, do you dare to take your people and block the two Jin armies to cut off their communication?" Du Wenhuan continued to ask.

"Old Shuai, you are looking for the right person, we are the best at doing this, I can't say if we miss a fly, but the Jin Army messenger will definitely not be able to slip through." Buck rubbed his nose excitedly.

Buck led the merchant army away, Sun Tingyao suddenly remembered the most important thing, and shouted at their backs: "Buck, don't forget to bring the head back, there is a reward!" ”

Weining Haizibei, Xinghewei camp in the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Yuzheng glared viciously at Sangha Erzhai and Tuba, the two Jinong, Zhentu and Gunchuk, their faces turned pale, and they hid behind the two Jinong - Azig's army hit the Jinlianchuan grassland, the Chahar people were crushed at the touch of a button, 30,000 people were chased and killed like ducks, and tens of thousands of people were captured, these people fled all the way with the rest of the people, and took refuge in Xinghewei.

"Waste, 30,000 people fled hundreds of miles without being defeated in a battle, and also lost a large number of troops and livestock, knowing that it is not an opponent, why didn't you withdraw early? Xinghewei sent people to contact you, I also sent people to look for you when I came back from Kujiao, the Great Khan has ordered me to take full command of the war against the Jin State, why don't you obey the order and force me to kill? Li Yu slapped the case table and roared angrily.

"That's it, they disobeyed the military order, should they be severely punished, brother-in-law, or am I obedient, I came to you early, and there was no loss of troops and livestock." The eldest sister-in-law, Princess Taisong, said while flattering her eyes, Li Yu couldn't help but get goosebumps, Taisong was a few years older than him, and he felt frightened when he called his brother-in-law.

"Li Yucha, it's useless to blame the old Sanghar Village, it's too late to say anything now, the Jin army is only a hundred miles away, at most tomorrow will be there, let's prepare to fight, my troops are all under your command, I will do whatever you say." Sangha Zhai Jinong bowed his head in shame and said, Tuba hesitated for a moment and agreed.

"Brother-in-law, my people are your people, and the people and livestock are handed over to you." Tai Song said and leaned in front of Li Yu again, and Li Yu hurriedly took a few steps back.

Gonchuk had a little desire to beat his wife, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Yu, gritted his teeth and acquiesced, but he wanted to quibble a few words, Li Yu didn't pay attention to him at all, and directly whipped him over, and he screamed and escaped from the big tent.

Outside the big tent, dozens of Chahar nobles are shouting, although Humbaturu is the Jinong of the Great Khan, but he also does not want to take away other people's people and livestock, this is the rule left by the ancestors, if you don't give money and food, you won't be out - this group of guys with honorific titles such as Taiji, Baturu, and Daiqing on their heads, although it is likely that there are only a dozen households, but they are used to being the emperor of the soil, and they are still putting up a stinky shelf after being defeated, and they have played the trick of dealing with Chahar Khan.

The shouts and scolding of the nobles angered Li Yu, and he walked out with a whip, Sanghar Zhai sighed and followed silently, he also had a headache for these people - as soon as Chahar Khan ran on the front foot, Sanhar Zhai blocked the road to the west, and the Chahar people who were stopped didn't care, they didn't want to flee with the Great Khan anymore to suffer, and someone came out just to stay on the side. The nobles also went to the camp of Sanghar Village to discuss where to go in the future, Sanghar Village's idea was very clear, and he went to Fengzhou to fight with the Jin army to the end, but the nobles did not agree, they never liked Fengzhou, they were all people with tribes and livestock, and they were used to the days of prestige and fortune, why let them be equal to the common people, some of them wanted to defect to Khalkha, some people wanted to defect to Mingguo, and some people came up with ideas to defect to Horqin, and thought that defecting to Horqin was not considered to surrender to Jinguo. Sanhar Zhai was angry and detained these guys, but this trick didn't work, and the subordinates without the master's son not only did not listen to the order, but rushed into his camp to eat and drink, and within a few days, these guys were put back into their respective tribes, so everyone turned their faces, and it was more difficult to unify their opinions, and the time dragged on day by day.

In the end, it was Princess Taisong who played a decisive role, she and Gunchuck had already fallen out, Wu Langha remarried Li Yu, the child had money, and there was more scenery and scenery, she was envious and jealous of her sister, and looked at Gunchuk's eyes more and more wrong, Gunchuck was afraid, Wu Langha remarried after her ex-husband died, will this girl ......, Gunchuk didn't even dare to enter Taisong's tent from now on. Taisong was blind to Gunchuk, just when Li Yu came back from the withered tree and passed by the pasture of the Chahar people, she ordered all the departments to evacuate quickly, she immediately responded to the call to follow behind the Flying Tiger Battalion, and by the way, the men and animals of Gunchuk were also swept away, and Gunchuk immediately went to chase this loser when he heard the news, and when he saw that his accomplices had run away, he hurriedly ran, so that the other nobles could not sit still, and followed in a swarm.

Fortunately, they took a step earlier, and Azig didn't kill them all when he arrived, but when the Jin army chased after them, the Chahar troops rushed to escape and had no intention of resisting, and were chased by the Jin army behind the buttocks and beaten, and the losses of people and animals were not small.
