In the wilderness where vegetation and yellow sand coexist on Yansui West Road, Zhang Mengjin, the leader of Duhe Fort, was also carrying a bird gun on his back at this time, and he was leading the troops in the military fort to the Ningsai camp in the east to support.

This time, Duhe Fort received an order from General Wu Hongqi to ask for linkage, and the Ningsai battalion currently has more than 100 Mongolian cavalry attacking, and it is necessary to intercept Duhebao.

The last time the Mongols were intercepted was a month ago, when the ambush of the team led by Zhang Mengjin failed and was discovered in advance by the Mongol sentinels. In the subsequent battle, due to the command error, the side suffered a certain loss, so the big boss of Jinding Mountain has been worried about this matter during this time.

After a period of battle summarization, although the troops of Duhe Fort have not yet been reorganized as planned. However, Zhang Mengjin still made some preparations, and he planned to make a shame in this operation to stop the Mongols.

A sentry suddenly appeared in the distant field of vision, and Zhang Mengjin immediately ordered his subordinates to be on guard. When the sentry approached, he recognized this person as a messenger sent by the Ninsai battalion. quickly caught up with the cavalry of Duhe Fort and led the people in front of Zhang Mengjin.

Although Ningsai's herald was in the dust, he still knelt down to Zhang Mengjin very energetically and said, "My lord, more than 300 horsemen of Dazi are approaching the donkey dung slope. The general ordered you to stop setting up an ambush at the Shajia family, and hurried to the donkey dung slope to respond. ”

After the herald conveyed the order of his superiors, he presented Zhang Mengjin with a command flag to express that what he said was true.

After Zhang Mengjin inspected the order flag, he ordered the entire army of Duhe Fort to rush to the battlefield of Donkey Dung Slope. He ordered Fan Shunjiang, the leader of the sentinel cavalry in front, to lead his men and horses first, and at the same time, the Chinese army fired a trumpet cannon to gather the Zhou Shaoteng sentry cavalry scattered around.

The troops of Duhe Fort behaved very quickly, and although Zhang Mengjin was a little dissatisfied with Wu Hongqi, the general of Ningsai, the former thieves still didn't want Wu Hongqi to seize the opportunity to hit the people of Duhe Fort again.

The last interception and the thief messenger who killed Duhe Fort earlier, when he reported to the top, Wu Hongqi, the general of Ningsai, stumbled on Duhebao. Later, although the leaders of Duhe Fort were given several hereditary military positions, they did not receive any of the rewards they deserved.

This forced Zhang Mengjin to let the Jindingshan Treasury pay out of his own pocket, prepare some grain and cloth, and distribute them to his soldiers in kind instead of rewarding silver. And the subordinates he sent to Ningsai to ask for a reward for silver were actually coldly spoken by Wu Hongqi and Fan Li of the Chinese army.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mengjin secretly cursed, and he even wondered if he could find an opportunity to take the opportunity to kill this bastard by putting a cold arrow on Wu Hongqi in this battle.

"Big brother, are we using it so hard this time? The kid surnamed Wu is not a thing, didn't Shen Yikui tell us, and he didn't get half a tael of silver for his combat exploits in intercepting Dazi. It's not good, do we use it so hard? After Zhao Wankui saw the sentinel who came to summon him leave, he walked to Zhang Mengjin's side and said disdainfully.

"At least he'll send us some food, and we'll let him be arrogant for the time being. If the surname Wu is still so short-sighted in the future, let's find a chance to clean him up later. "After Zhang Mengjin and others garrisoned Duhe Fort, they did receive a part of the monthly rations issued by the imperial court. To a certain extent, this alleviated the food pressure on Laochao Jinding Mountain, and also appeased Zhang Mengjin and others' worries about the supply of military food for the imperial court.

However, in fact, these grains were bought by Yang He, the governor of the three sides, with 18,000 taels of appeasement silver obtained from Wu Fu. Even if they did not make meritorious contributions, they should have been given Zhang Mengjin, who had been placed in the country. It's just that the policy of the imperial court is one thing, and the actual implementation is often another.

Who can say how many times this has been taken over, and how much silver and grain have been embezzled by officials at all levels. It's just that after all, the subordinates of Shen Yikui have newly surrendered, and they have made military exploits before, so now some officials also know that it is too ugly to eat.

After conveying the orders, Zhang Mengjin asked Zhao Wankui to lead the infantry behind, and he led more than 200 cavalry under his command to rush to the donkey dung slope at full speed. Zhang Mengguang, Ma Xiangzhong, and Zhou Shaoteng all accompanied Zhang Mengjin and led the troops around him to quickly rush to the front line.

After Zhang Mengjin broke away from the infantry team, he led the cavalry to march to the donkey dung slope for almost a moment, and Fan Shunjiang, who was in charge of exploring the road in front, had already found out the situation and sent someone to report to Zhang Mengjin, the big boss, about the current situation on the battlefield ahead.

The person who came still said to Zhang Mengjin according to the habit of Jin Dingshan: "The big boss, Dazi has increased his troops now." At present, there are more than 500 horsemen of Dazi who are fighting with the officers and troops of the Ningsai camp, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers are shooting at Dazi who is surrounded by them, and there are about 300 cavalry in the official army. Fan Guan team asked me to tell you, if the big boss decides to fight, we had better send some people to the north for now. ”

"Second brother, you go around to the north, and if you find an opportunity, you will start attacking directly, and the others will continue to follow me." Zhang Mengjin, who received the news, immediately ordered Zhang Mengguang of the front team to go around to the north immediately. He and Zhou Shaoteng led the Chinese army and Ma Xiangzhong in the rear team and rushed directly to the battlefield.

On the way, Zhang Mengjin also joined Fan Shunjiang's sentinel and changed their horses. By the time the people of Duhe Fort appeared on the edge of the battlefield, dozens of corpses had been laid on the battlefield by the two sides of the donkey dung slope.

The invading Mongols seemed to have noticed the dust kicked up by the Duhebao cavalry on the march, so they moved quickly, and the sound of the Mongols' horns resounded throughout the battlefield.

The rangers scattered around the officers and soldiers of the Ninsai battalion gathered together after receiving the summons, ready to withdraw directly from the battlefield, and they did not intend to drag back the corpses of their soldiers with ropes as they had done before.

The Ming officers and soldiers, who also found that reinforcements were about to arrive, were greatly boosted, and the general Wu Hongqi immediately ordered the camp to be opened. Shen Yikui, who had endured for a long time, personally led the cavalry around him to rush out directly, intending to intercept and kill the Mongolian cavalry who were about to escape. And their enemies also made some mistakes at this time, allowing Shen Yikui to successfully drag down the opponent who was about to escape.

Some of the greedy Mongol cavalry ignored the order and engaged directly with Shen Yikui's cavalry troops. As a result, the entire Mongol army fell into confusion and had to be entangled with the pursuing Ming army.

At this time, the troops led by Zhang Mengjin finally arrived at the battlefield, and after a burst of suona sounded, they formed a neat formation and directly charged the enemy troops in front.
