At the end of July, the Drinking Horse River.

The Yuma River is a river east of Urumqi and an important source of water for local herders, and it is not known who gave it such a name.

At this time, the Yinma River has become a huge military camp, the Moxi coalition army and the Mongolian, Ming Western expeditionary army have gathered here, the military tents are endless, people are noisy and neighing, a lively scene.

The Moxi Coalition Army Station.

"Everyone, our people are all here, so we must launch a total of two days to defeat the Khan Court and the Ming army in one fell swoop!"

In the tent, the commander of the Moxi Coalition Army was Gushi Khan of the Heshuo Special Department, who convened the meeting of the leaders of the Moxi Coalition Army and announced it in a deep voice at the meeting.

Hearing this, the people at the scene were immediately in a commotion, this battle was an unprecedented battle in the Moxi region, under the threat of the Khan Court and the Ming army, Moxi Mongolia formed a huge army of nearly 200,000 people, which made everyone feel the pressure they had never felt before.

In view of the importance of the decisive battle, the armies of the strongest Dzungar and Heshute tribes were the main attackers, and the armies of the Turghut and Dulbert tribes were assisted.

This is also a matter of no way, there is an old saying on the battlefield, called "defeat is like a mountain", in the face of the Khan Court and the Ming army such a powerful enemy, Baturhun and Gushi Khan did not dare to take it lightly, once the Turghut Department and the Dulbert Department were allowed to fight the main attack, then the armies of the two divisions would collapse on the battlefield nine times out of ten, and the overall situation would be affected at that time.

In addition to the combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Junggar Department and the Heshute Division, the fighting will of the soldiers of the Turghut Department and the Duerbert Department is also slightly inferior, and they are not willing to be cannon fodder to fulfill the Zhun Geer Department and the Heshute Department.

Therefore, after deliberation, Baturhun and Gushi Khan decided to use the Dzungar and Heshute tribes to attack the main attack, so that the chances of victory would be greater.

After the discussion, everyone returned to the camp to prepare, and Baturhun and Gushi Khan stood on the map to discuss the possible situation on the battlefield and how to deal with it.

"Gushi Great Khan, I'm a little worried, do you think Bahat will win over other tribes?" During the discussion, Baturhun remembered something and couldn't help but look at Gushi Khan with some concern.

If it were him, he would definitely find a way to divide and disintegrate the Moxi tribes, and although he has not received any information about this now, it is clear that Bahat will definitely do so.

"Ben Khan is also a little worried, so we will do the main thing."

Hearing this, Gushi Khan frowned slightly, and said to Baturhun in a deep voice, he was also worried about this matter, God knows what choice the leaders of the Moxi tribes would make under the temptation of Bahat.

"I hope all the best!"

However, the battle of the Yuma River is about to break out, and Gushi Khan and Baturhun have no way to dwell on this matter, otherwise it will cause internal instability in the Moxi Alliance, which is not what the two want to see, so Batur said expressionlessly.

Ming army camp.

At the same time as the Moxi tribes were deliberating, Li Hongyu also called the senior generals of the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army and the Ming Army to discuss the battle situation and assign combat tasks.

The main enemy of the Mongol Western Expeditionary Army and the Ming Army on the battlefield was the army of the Junggar Department and the Heshute Department, and it was obvious that the armies of the Junggar Department and the Heshuote Department were the main force of the Moxi Coalition Army, so Li Hongyu decided to go all out to deal with them, as long as they were defeated, then the Moxi Coalition Army would be over.

As for the Turghut Ministry and the Dulbert Ministry, although the Great Khan of these two Ministries had signed an alliance with Bahat, Li Hongyu was not at ease, after all, the situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and he had to guard against the Turghut Ministry and the Dulbert Ministry's reneging on the alliance.

Therefore, Li Hongyu deliberately left a mobile force to monitor the movements of the Turghut and Dulbert troops on the battlefield, and if they did not act according to the plan, then the mobile force would rise to the top and slow down the offensive of the two divisions, so as to gain time for the main forces of the Mongol Western Expeditionary Army and the Ming Army to adjust.

Among all the troops, Li Hongyu naturally valued the artillery unit the most, so he set up his handsome flag in the grove where the artillery unit was ambushed, and led 10,000 people to protect the safety of the artillery unit.

This kind of big battle with a total strength of nearly 300,000 troops is not something that can be encountered casually, so when the discussion was held, all the senior generals were very excited, and they were eager to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as soon as possible.

After the discussion, everyone returned to the camp to prepare, Li Hongyu left Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu alone, and then let the two leave, this time the two of them were the main force on the battlefield.

The reason why Li Hongyu left the two of them was that in addition to explaining some precautions to them, he also specially told the two people, who were the commanders of the army, not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy at will, after all, they were high-ranking generals and not soldiers who charged into battle.

Waiting for Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu to leave, Li Hongyu couldn't help but lightly beat his forehead with his fist.

"My lord, please use tea." At this time, Nuo Min walked in with a cup of mare's milk tea and placed it on the table in front of Li Hongyu.

"Nomin, which ministry are you from?" Li Hongyu tasted a few sips of mare's milk tea, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking.

"Lord Hui, I am in a small tribe, attached to the Heshute tribe." Hearing this, Nuo Min bowed slightly and replied.

"Moxi has mobilized all his troops this time, and your father and brother must also be in the military camp opposite, if they die on the battlefield, will you hate me?" Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Nuo Min and asked.

After contact with Nuo Min during this period of time, Li Hongyu can be more sure of his speculation, Nuo Min's words and deeds are completely the demeanor of the ladies of the Moxi Mongolian nobles, and he has a kind of arrogant temperament, so he can be sure that Nuo Min is from the Moxi Mongolian aristocratic family, and it is also a very powerful family.

"Life and death are fate, and if they die in battle, it will be their fate."

Nuo Min's face suddenly darkened when she heard this, she didn't mean to avoid this question, and after hearing this, she smiled bitterly and said to Li Hongyu faintly, the look on her face was quite helpless.

"I can give you a chance to save your father and brother, I don't know if you have the courage to do it." Li Hongyu saw Nuo Min's gloomy expression, knowing that she didn't want her father and brother to die on the battlefield, so he said after a deep groan.

"Opportunity?" Nuo Min was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu with some puzzlement, not knowing what he meant.

"I can write a letter to your father and brother, and if they surrender to our army on the battlefield, then I will pardon their guilt." Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and said quietly, he naturally did this to minimize casualties on the battlefield.

Once the Moxi coalition army is defeated, then the Moxi nobles with Li Hongyu's guarantee will definitely lose their fighting spirit, which will be of great help to end the war and avoid unnecessary casualties.

In other words, Li Hongyu fought psychological warfare, which invisibly shook the opponent's will to fight.

In addition, Li Hongyu did this to avoid any ill will towards Nuo Min, after all, Nuo Min was born in a noble family in Moxi, and strictly speaking, the relationship between the two was hostile.

Originally, Li Hongyu didn't take the young Nuo Min to heart and didn't think he was any threat.

However, as he came into contact with her, Li Hongyu became keenly aware that Nuo Min was a girl whose mind far surpassed that of her peers, so it would be dangerous for him to keep Nuo Min by his side, and God knows if Nuo Min would want to kill him for the sake of his family.

So for Li Hongyu, the best choice now is to send Nuo Min away, so as not to give her the opportunity to assassinate herself, in which case this matter will become a joke.

"I do!" Hearing this, Nuo Min hesitated for a moment as if he had some concerns, but then nodded and said categorically to Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw this, and immediately knelt on the table to thank the letter, if Nuo Min didn't send the letter, then he would be depressed, and he had to guard against Nuo Min, after all, Nuo Min now has a lot of opportunities to start by his side.

"I'll send someone to send you there." After writing the letter, Li Hongyu stamped his big seal on it and handed it to Nuomin.

"No, I just need a horse." Nuo Min put the letter close to her, then shook her head at Li Hongyu and said, It would be bad if the soldiers of the Moxi Coalition knew that she had something to do with the Ming army.

"Be careful!" Li Hongyu bowed slightly when he heard this, and then opened his mouth to admonish, after all, there are many risks in this matter.

"It's okay, I'm smart." Hearing this, Nuo Min smiled slightly, and said disappreciatively, she naturally knew that this matter was risky, but if she could save the lives of her father, brother and clansmen, she was willing to do so.

Due to the urgency of time, Nuomin did not stay long, and then said goodbye to Li Hongyu, put on the tattered clothes she wore when she met Li Hongyu, wiped her face dirty to cover her appearance, and then rode a horse and drove away from the Ming army's barracks.

Li Hongyu stood on the lookout of the barracks and watched Nuo Min's back disappear into the distant hills, he was very curious about Nuo Min's identity, and he didn't know which part of Moxi this girl with a somewhat stubborn personality came from.

At noon the next day, the Moxi coalition army, the military camp of the Junggar Department.

"Back to the Great Khan, a teenager broke into the camp and wanted to see you."

While Baturhun was looking at a map near the Yuma River, a guard walked into the tent, bowed to him, and placed a pair of earrings on the table in front of him, "He said you know who he is when you look at the earrings." ”

"Quick, bring him here." Batur was taken aback when he saw the pair of earrings, and said to the guard, apparently he already knew the origin of the other party.

The guard did not dare to slack off, and soon brought in a young man in tattered clothes and dirty clothes, who was Nuo Min who agreed to Li Hongyu's arrival to deliver the letter.

"Stand down, all of you." Baturhun looked at Nomin, waved his hand to the maids and guards in the tent, and said in a deep voice.

"Saren, where have you been these days, do you know that Abba has been worried about you."

Waiting for the maid and the guards to leave, Baturhun got up and walked in front of Nomin, and said with a concerned expression, "Even if you run away from marriage, you should go home, the wedding has been held, and Abba will not force you to marry!" ”

"Abba, Saren was wrong, and Abba was worried." Hearing this, Nuomin's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he threw himself into Baturhun's arms, tears streaming down his cheeks.

It turned out that Nuo Min was none other than the little princess of the Junggar Department who had escaped from marriage, and Li Hongyu guessed correctly, she was really born in the Moxi aristocracy, and she was not an ordinary family.

"Saren, where have you been during this time, Abba has asked many people to look for you and have no news of you." When Sarentana had cried for a while, Baturhun let go of her and asked with a concerned expression.

"Abba, I originally wanted to leave Moxi to avoid you, but then I accidentally met Scholar Li of Daming, and I was taken in by him, and I have been staying by his side these days."

Sarentana wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and answered Baturhun with a sob.

Li ...... Scholar Lee? Batur was stunned when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, which was quite surprising.

Saren Tana then told Baturhun about the experience of getting acquainted with Li Hongyu, which made Baturhun feel a little unimaginable, but he didn't expect Saren Tana to stay by Li Hongyu's side by mistake.

"Did he know who you were, did he embarrass you?" Then, Baturhun realized something, and couldn't help but look nervously at Sarentana, if Li Hongyu didn't realize Sarena's identity, why would she let her come here?

"No, he just suspects that I am from the Moxi aristocracy, he doesn't know my true identity, and I'm afraid he can't think that I'm Abba's daughter."

Hearing this, Saren Tana shook her head, then took out the letter written by Li Hongyu from her bosom and handed it to Baturhun's hand, "This is a letter written by Scholar Li, as long as Abba surrenders, then he will exonerate Abba from the guilt of our people." ”

"Oh?" Baturhun's brows furrowed slightly, opened the envelope and looked at it, Li Hongyu made it clear in the letter that no matter when and where, as long as he led his troops to surrender, then he would not be guilty of forgiving his guilt in the past.

"Sa Ren, you're tired from coming all the way, let's go down and rest first." After reading Li Hongyu's letter, the corners of Baturhun's mouth sneered, and then he put away the letter and said to Saren Tana with a smile.

The reason why Sarentana came to the barracks now was because she deliberately made a big detour for the sake of safety and secrecy, rushing from the rear of the Moxi coalition army to avoid the suspicion of others.

"Abba, the Khan Court and the Ming army are menacing this time, gathering 100,000 troops, once the war starts, our Moxi will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, since they are people sent by the Great Khan, let's lower the Khan Court."

Seeing this, Sarentana immediately realized that Baturhun did not mean to surrender, and her heart suddenly became anxious, and she hurriedly said that she had seen the military might of the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army and the Ming Army these days, and its training was well-trained, and its morale was high, which was very difficult to deal with.

"Saren, that Khan Court is the Khan Court of their Golden Family, not our Moxi Khan Court, we have nothing to do with them, there is no need to pay attention to it."

Seeing that Saren Tana was worried about the situation of the Moxi coalition army, Batur Hun smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, this time the Moxi tribes are united and have gathered 200,000 troops, and it is imperative to win tomorrow's battle, and they will definitely capture that Li Da of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"II...... Two hundred thousand? Hearing this, Sarentana suddenly gasped, she had never heard of such a large number of troops since she was born, and the scale of the war in Moxi was already very good.

"At that time, Abba will see who is going to surrender to whom!" Baturhun's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a cold tone, full of confidence in defeating Li Hongyu and Bahat.

Hearing this, Sarentana's eyes flashed with surprise, and then the corners of her mouth squirmed and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, her expression seemed a little complicated, as if she had something on her mind.
