Xifengkou was too small to accommodate an army of 100,000, so Zhu Youzhen ordered the army to camp and rest in the pass. …，

Wang Ling, the general guarding the Xifeng Pass, received Zhu Youzhen and entered the customs.

Zhu Youzhen climbed the Xifeng Pass and found that there was a drop of nearly 100 meters outside the pass, he gasped: "General Wang, the Xifeng Pass is so steep, how can my army get out of the pass?" ”

Wang Ling pointed to the east with his hand: "Your Majesty, please see, the last general has already carved out a slope on the east side of Xifengkou, and filled it with loess with sacks, and now there is only a gentle slope with a small angle, and people and horses can pass through guò." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked east, and sure enough, there was a gentle slope, and it was a new trace, "What about my grain, grass and artillery?" The artillery is too heavy, can you get out of here? ”

"Your Majesty, since the war horse can be cleared, and the vehicle can be transported slowly, we have already experimented, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, but the artillery is too heavy, and you must wait for the army to clear the customs, use a large amount of loess, and pile up the approach road along the mountain road before you can clear the customs, and there is no other way." After learning that Zhu Youzhen was going to recruit in person, Wang Ling had already made full preparations.

"Well, General Wang has a heart!" Zhu Youzhen gently patted Wang Ling's shoulder, "When my army returns to the court after victory, there will be a reward." ”

Wang Ling immediately kowtowed to Zhu Youzhen: "Thank you Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a victory, and sweep away the remnants of Jiannu as soon as possible." ”

"Hey, hey, get up!" Zhu Youzhen grinned, "Look, it's still false, isn't it?" ”

"Your Majesty, you have no jokes." Wang Ling also smirked as he got up.

Zhu Youzhen is correct: "General Wang, first guard the Xifeng Pass." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will guarantee that Xifengkou is as solid as a rock!"

"General Wang, how is the situation outside the gate now?" Zhu Youzhen was more concerned about the periphery of Xifengkou, which was related to whether the army could secretly leave the customs and whether the Northern Expedition could be successful.

"His Majesty, outside the mouth of Xifeng, is Mongolia's Duoyan three, from south to north, respectively, Duoyan Division, Taining Division, Buyeo Division, because Duoyan Department is the most powerful, so it is called Duoyan Sanbu, they gradually moved south, especially Duoyan Division, has approached the Great Wall."

"The relationship between Duoyan Sanbu and Daming, how is it now?"

"Your Majesty, since the Northern Expedition of Chengzu, the three departments of Duoyan have been subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, but with the rise of Jiannu, the three departments of Duoyan have surrendered to the Jiannu, although across the Great Wall, there is no direct conflict with the Ming Dynasty, but they have always been close to the Jiannu and regard the Ming as an enemy."

"It's because of Jiannu again!" Zhu Youzhen frowned, "Is the Duoyan Department outside the gate now?" ”

"Your Majesty, because of the Great Wall, we rarely go out of the customs, and we don't know much about them, but in previous years, they usually went south in April, and now the weather is cold, and the grass has not yet grown."

After dinner, Zhu Youzhen still didn't give up, he asked the army to interrogate Liu Lin: "Is there any message from the Duoyan Department on the other side?" ”

Liu Lin bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, we have too little interrogation in the Duoyan Third Division, and there is no information yet." ”

"Oh, then you can step down!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and found the herald again: "Order, rest early tonight, tomorrow at midnight, with Li Junbu of the first division of the royal family, go out of the customs first, let them bring their own dry food for three days, and after leaving the customs, quickly arrange a defensive formation on the periphery."

As soon as the sky was bright, the first royal division was already ready to go, and they gathered in front of Xifengkou, just waiting for Li Jun's order.

Wang Ling personally opened the front and rear passes and guided the army out of the pass.

By noon, most of the division had cleared the customs, and they had set up a circular defensive position with a radius of ten miles outside the Xifeng Pass.

Due to the temporary earthen slope, under the trampling of the war horses, there was a landslide, and the soldiers who closed it took out the spare sacks and refilled them with soil.

It was not until dusk that all the Royal First Division was released.

The 1st Division expanded the defensive position to 20 li, and released a large number of 10-man rangers to expand the defense to nearly 100 li.

There were already 10,000 soldiers out of the customs, Zhu Youzhen was relieved, and he ordered Wang Peng, the second division of the royal army, to go out of the customs overnight.

On the third day, the wanderer rode eighty miles outside the mouth of Xifeng and found a Duoyan tribe.

The Ranger Captain Su Yuguang immediately sent three Rangers back to summon the message, and he took the remaining seven Rangers to closely monitor the tribe.

Two hours later, An Shun, the commander of the Royal 101st Brigade, arrived.

Su Yuguang came out of the dense forest next to him: "Brigade, Duoyan is at the back of the slope." ”

"How many of them are there?"

"We didn't dare to get too close, we couldn't really see it, just now a ranger climbed up to the top of the tree, judging by the number of tents, there were thousands of them."

"Thousands?" An Shun frowned, "We only have three thousand people, and it seems that it will be difficult to annihilate them all." Shizuo said that the army has not yet cleared all the customs, and the information must not be leaked. ”

Su Yuguang looked at the big tent of the Duoyan people from afar, "Brigade seat, although there are thousands of Duoyan people, they are not all cavalry, there are also old people, women and children, three thousand soldiers, should be able to defeat them." ”

An Shun shook his head: "It's not defeat, it's total annihilation, the division has repeatedly told that if a Duoyan person leaves, the information that my army will leave the customs will be leaked out." ”

Su Yuguang also had no way: "Then what should I do?" ”

An Shun pointed to the front right: "I'll make a detour behind them first, and after an hour, the division will come over in person, so let the division attack from the front!" ”

"Okay, the brigade seat quietly passed, and I waited for the division seat here."

An hour later, Li Jun personally led the Royal 102nd Brigade and the Royal 103rd Brigade to the grove.

Su Yuguang came out of the grove: "Master!" ”

"Huh? It's you? What about Teluk Intan? It doesn't seem like there was a fight? Li Jun was very surprised, An Shun came over, it was almost an hour.

"Shizuo, the brigade is worried that the Duoyan people will flee north, so he will make a detour to the rear and cut off the return route of the Duoyan people."

"This Anshun has a bit of a brain." Li Jun scolded with a smile, "Yuguang, how many people are there?" ”

"Back to Shizuo, there are thousands of people in the Duoyan people, and they are a small tribe."

"So much? No wonder Anshun is worried that they will flee north, where are they now? ”

Su Yuguang pointed with his hand: "It's just behind which slope." ”

Li Jun looked in the direction of Su Yuguang's finger, but couldn't see anything, "Why don't you see a figure?" ”

"Master, as long as you cross this slope, you can see the Duoyan people."

Li Jun looked at the surrounding terrain: "The 102nd Brigade, divided into three columns, is on the left side of the slope, Yuguang, you make some movement and lure the Duoyan people out." ”

"Yes, Master." Su Yuguang made a gesture, "Let's go, let's go in and see how many people there are." ”

Several rangers, waving the Sun and Moon military flags of the Ming army, swaggered over the slope and entered the vicinity of the Duoyan people's tent.

On the back of the slope, the tents of the Duoyan people are densely packed, and can accommodate at least 3,000 people. Around the tent, scattered were men with long black faces and long beards and fur hats.

Su Yuguang's arrival obviously alarmed them, and their eyes left their original target and glanced at Su Yuguang.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? "Probably found that Su Yuguang's gang was dressed differently from them, they shouted in Mongolian, and pointed at Su Yuguang and them.

Su Yuguang knew a little bit of Mongolian, but he pretended not to understand, and just sneered at those Duoyan people.

The Duoyan people were furious, and one of them put his finger in his mouth and whistled, and in an instant, a large number of Duoyan people, including strong men, women, and children, came out of the tent.

Su Yuguang saw that the situation was wrong, turned his head and ran.

More than 30 Duoyan people stepped on their horses and chased after them, they were eager to devour Su Yuguang and his gang alive.

Su Yuguang turned the slope and hid behind the gunmen.

When the Duoyan people chased after them, they suddenly found a large number of people in gray walking clothes in front of them.

There were too many people in gray cloth, and the people with a lot of face stopped suddenly. They pointed at the Ming army and shouted, speaking as fast as a bird's call, and even Su Yuguang couldn't understand it.

The Ming army was as motionless as a mountain in front of the Duoyan cavalry, and the flintlock pistols in the hands of the gunners were pointing at the Duoyan cavalry.

Probably tired of shouting, seeing that the Ming army didn't pay attention, they discussed with each other for a while, and then two cavalrymen turned around and went back, and the rest of the cavalry still stared at the Ming gunners.

"Master, they must go back to call someone!" Su Yuguang stayed behind Li Jun.

"It should be, I'm afraid they won't come."

The Ming army didn't wait long before they heard a violent sound of horses' hooves, coupled with the echo of the valley and the woods, Li Jun couldn't tell how many Duoyan people had come.

This was the first time that the gunners faced the cavalry after the Ming army left the customs, and they all looked nervous, and the flintlock pistols in their hands were held so tightly that they didn't even know that their fingers hurt.

Li Jun was also very nervous, a group of veterans who had not been on the battlefield, and the flintlock pistol was a new type of firearm, and in their hands, it was the first time to use it on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Li Jun had already marked the distance of 100 steps, and he silently came behind the gunmen, "Don't be nervous, keep an eye on the red line 100 steps away." ”

"Yes, teacher...... Seat. ”

The soldiers were still a little nervous, and Li Jun couldn't help it, for the first time, no matter what he did, nervousness was always inevitable, so he could only stay behind the soldiers and use company to reduce the soldiers' nervousness.

"Brothers, prepare, the Duoyan people are about to enter the firing range." Li Jun tried to lengthen his words as much as possible to increase the time for the soldiers to react.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves became more and more intense, and the hearts of the soldiers beat with the horses' hooves.

"Ready...... Shoot. ”

This time, Li Jun didn't hesitate any longer, Duoyan had already entered the range of the flintlock pistol, and either the fish died or the net was broken.

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

……

The gunfire was chaotic, obviously not meeting the strategic requirements of the salvo, Li Jun couldn't care about much, as long as he could shoot the Duoyan cavalry.

The Duoyan cavalry at the front, as if they had hit a fishing net, screamed and threw themselves off their horses, making close contact with the ground.

"Well done, that's all." Li Jun clapped his palms in the back, "The second row # shoots, and the first row loads." ”

The Duoyan cavalry was obviously confused by the Ming army's flintlock guns, but the cavalry did not slow down and continued to charge towards the Ming army's position.

When the cavalry behind came into range of flintlock muskets, the guns of the gunners in the second row also rang out.

By the time all three rows of gunners of the Ming army had finished firing, the five hundred Duoyan cavalrymen had all left their horses, and they were either shouting, rolling, or quietly listening to the sound of their own blood flowing, or, closing their eyes, they were already dead.

Li Jun was overjoyed, after this short battle, the soldiers had already experienced the baptism of blood, "Quick, clean up the battlefield and make up for the wounded soldiers." ”

Some soldiers were in a daze, they didn't even know how the Duoyan people died, and there were also some brave soldiers, they put down their flintlock pistols, pulled out their sabers from their waists, and made up for the fatal stab of the wounded Duoyan.

"Master, there are still a lot of people in front of you, what should I do?"

"There's only one way, kill." Li Jun saw that the wounded soldiers of Duoyan had all been slaughtered, "Brothers, cross the slope, there are Duoyan people on the opposite side, they have killed countless of our Han people, and now it is time to settle accounts." ”

Li Jun didn't know if the Duoyan people had killed the Han people, but the Duoyan people approached the Great Wall, deterred the passes on the Great Wall, and invaded the land of the Ming Dynasty, which was not much different from killing people.
