Every twenty miles of marching, the front sent sentinels to investigate, and the rear sent plunderers to always pay attention to the back road, leaving military horses along the way to ensure the way back, and even simply advancing along the edge of the Great Wall, after marching from the 40,000 troops of the Wanquan Right Acropolis, Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, took this kind of cautious offensive.

Not only because of the words brought by Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, but also because he didn't want to face Tartar like this in his heart, after all, this was not his intention at all. However, who would have expected that Xu Xun would use such a method to force him to send troops, and Miao Kui, who had always cooperated well with him, not only listened to Xu Xun's bewitchment, but also asked Chen Xiong to pull out all his soldiers and horses!

Although the cabinet transferred Xu Xun's previous recitals and noted the extreme secret, he didn't believe what Xu Xun said at all-if he didn't let the good favored ministers of the Son of Heaven do not do it, do you have to take such a big risk to do any bait? In his opinion, the previous victory in Shacheng was just a coincidence, and then Xu Xun didn't know which corner to hide, but he set a big trap and problem for him. Because of this, holding back a fire, he can't wait for this damn boy to be smart but be smart and die on the grassland by mistake!

Early in the morning, not long after he set out from camp, he saw a horse rushing back in front of him. The tanma didn't have time to rein in front of Zhu Hui, so he hurriedly rolled down the saddle, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Baoguo Gong, there are military horses ahead!" ”

Although there were only military horses in front, not Tartars in front, Zhu Hui took it for granted that it would not be his own military horses, and immediately ordered all the generals to restrain the whole army to stand by with their backs to the Great Wall, and simply stopped in place. In the face of this posture, several generals who had followed him more than once were no strangers to themselves, and shouted at their troops to complete the army. After about a quarter of an hour, I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and at least thousands of troops were roaring towards them, and most of them changed color for a while.

These Tartars, who used to be hundreds, were often able to kill a few back and forth in the chaotic army, how could he deal with these thousands of military horses?

"The shaft mistook me!"

Zhu Hui didn't know how many times he scolded in his heart, but his face was calm and calm, and after a while, the order was passed on. Even if there are thousands of cavalry captives, as long as their own military formation is not chaotic, the other party cannot break through, at most they will damage some people, but it is impossible for the captives to be completely undamaged, and even if the credit for the beheading is there at that time, there will be an explanation when they go back. And when he encounters such a captive, he can justifiably retreat back into the pass, even if the emperor or the cabinet is good, he can't be forced too much!

"Ready for battle, ready for battle!"

The voices of the military commanders came and went, but on the contrary, they caused a lot of stirring in the army. This time, almost all of the 40,000 horses were transferred from the Beijing battalion and the 12th regiment battalion, and they were usually said to be garrisoning the Beijing division, but they were better said to be miscellaneous troops who were responsible for various miscellaneous tasks. From repairing the palace to repairing the city wall, from guarding the imperial city to transporting grain to the tuntian...... It's just that since the imperial court distributes grain and rice every month, most of the serious things in this tuntian are not very willing to do, most of them are rented to other people, and they are doing odd jobs, doing errands in the military camp, and there are few generals who take it seriously like Shenying.

The panic and anxiety from the generals to the soldiers finally disappeared completely after seeing the approaching group clearly. Although Zhu Hui was still a little skeptical that the high banner and the military robes of different colors would be the spoils of the captives after they dispersed the Ming army, the others were relieved after all. When a few horsemen galloped over and had good eyesight to recognize them, the whole army did not know how many people talked about it.

"Bao Guogong!"

"Grandpa Miao!"

Zhu Hui and Miao Kui are old partners, at this moment, although Miao Kui is in the dust, it doesn't look like he has been in battle, and there is no Xu Xun and others inside, Zhu Hui is very settled, and after riding his horse and slowly stepping forward, he said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law Miao, you let Chen Xiong send troops after informing me, which is too hasty!" You must know that the Tartars come and go like the wind, and the battle situation is changing rapidly, if you put yourself in danger for a Xu Xun, wouldn't this be a great despise yourself? ”

This is said above board, but the meaning is extremely tricky. If Miao Kui really sent troops in a prosperous manner, but he didn't get anything, or he returned with a feather, he would definitely have a hatred for Xu Xun because of this. However, Zhu Hui looked at Miao Kui expectantly, but found that the old eunuch was smiling without a trace of anger, and he didn't feel a sigh in his heart.

"Thank you Baoguo Gong for your concern, it's just that our family is such an old bone, if it can really be loosened, it's a good thing, as for being in danger, he still dares to gamble with a young descendant who is less than twenty, what is our family?" Speaking of this, Miao Kui paused, and then said with a smile on his face, "The good sect Baoguo Gong learned that this time the troops were sent smoothly, not counting Xu Xun Shenying and their group, as well as these military horses of the Datong Army, these soldiers and horses led by our family and Chen Xiongtong were beheaded by a total of four hundred levels, which is a big victory that has not been seen for many years!" Xu Xun and Shenying went down to the sea under the protection of the Datong Army to raise the bones of the warriors who died in the previous battle, and our family thought of sending a letter to the Baoguo Gazette first, so they rushed back with Chen Xiong first. ”

Behead four hundred levels!

Zhu Hui could hardly believe his ears. You know, he had previously reported the third level of decapitation to the level three of decapitation with the help of Miao Kui, and now he knows that Miao Kui is not also playing this kind of trick? He saw that Chen Xiong was a half-horse behind Miao Kui leading the horse, so he asked: "General Chen, according to what Miao Gonggong said, the battle situation should be quite fierce, but is this so?" ”

"Back to the marshal, the battle is indeed fierce. Lord Xu's department had killed nearly 300 people in several battles before, but Yang Dutang and Zhang Gonggong led the Datong army to respond, and Miao Gonggong and Beizhi arrived in time, so they successfully ate more than 1,000 people in the Tartars, and a total of five or six hundred people were beheaded in this battle alone. However, what Miao Gonggong said, it is still undercounting the harvest of the Datong Army and Lord Xu's department before, and the three parties are added together, and there should be at least more than 1,000, but it has not been officially counted yet. ”

Chen Xiong was almost imprisoned for his crime in the past, but thanks to Miao Kui's righteous words, he was spared, so the favor owed can be regarded as a big deal. However, this time, he thought it was a risky attack, but it turned out to be such a fruitful result, and he was more overjoyed than satisfied.

Zhu Hui was about to warn Chen Xiong, but who knew that what Chen Xiong said was even more outrageous than Miao Kui, and his face became even more gloomy. However, when Chen Xiong's troops and horses were getting closer, he saw that many people and horses had one or two bloody heads hanging on their sides, and his heart was full of disbelief for a while, and then he was deeply lost.

How is this possible! How could that stinky boy really concoct such a victory? Could it be that they slaughtered a herdsman? It must be so, the army of Tartars comes and goes like the wind, how can they easily behead more than a thousand!

When Miao Kui Chen Xiong led his troops to meet Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, Xu Xun Shenying and Yang Yiqing had also led their troops to the sea of Xiashui where the fierce battle had been fought first, and Zhang Yong, who had rushed back to Datong in advance, also rushed back with a cart and an emergency customized coffin. The corpses of the captives that had not had time to be cleaned up have been counted and confirmed, and the bones of the Ming army that had been hastily buried have been lifted out one by one. Despite the terrible smell of the midsummer, everyone from top to bottom stood silently, and no one complained.

"Brother Xu, you have done a very thorough job, they know everything, and they will definitely not have any regrets. We will try our best to help them fight for the court's pension, and that military exploit is enough for their wives and children to live comfortably in the future. Zhang Yong saw Yang Yiqing and Shenying talking there, so he patted Xu Xun's arm again, "You captured the little prince's son alive, but instead of telling Lao Miao Kui and Chen Xiong, you sent Lao Chai Huo and Qian Ning to spread the word on the grassland that it was Yong Xie Bu's people who killed the little prince's son." Old Miao Kui Chen Xiong will really know in the future, and he may complain in his heart that you can't trust them, so you have to be careful. ”

This is not that Zhang Yongshi gave Miao Kui Chen Xiong eye medicine after the success, although he still competed with the old Miao Kui, but after this battle, he finally felt a little better about this old guy. And he really can't understand that this kind of thing should be hyped up, why does Xu Xun want to be so low-key?

"There are more than 10,000 reinforcements from Yong Xie Bu and Ordos, and according to the usual situation, although the number of military horses of Tuohuochi and the little prince's son is not enough, they are the elite of the Khan Court after all, and at least they are both defeated. Although we were surrounded by two sides, it was difficult to ensure that a few people were not missed at that time, and when the news spread, the coalition forces of Yongshebu and Ordos wanted the head of the little prince's son to contact the various departments, and the Chahar Khan Court would probably take back the people, so where would we get out so easily.

And now it's low-key, naturally the gods don't know it, even the people who escaped haven't seen us snatch people back, God knows if the little prince will be angry and cut people down directly before he can ask for verification? There is so much credit, there is not much for this one, and there is a lot for this one, and it is still useful for this person to keep it, and let them kill each other suspiciously. ”

"Brother Xu, the dragon is really just about you!"

Zhang Yong thought about it, and the surname Suo didn't ask Xu Xun what the use of keeping people was, and when he saw Xiang Shenying and Yang Yiqing coming over together, he scolded Xu Xun, and the two of them greeted him together. After a brief conversation, Yang Yiqing said bluntly: "Lord Xu, this matter is over, and the old man has to go back to Beijing as soon as possible, but the old man has to say a word about these corpses." You have good intentions, but after all, this is contrary to the rules of the imperial court, and impeachment by the imperial history is indispensable at that time. Moreover, it is not a small expense to transport these back to Xuanfu and even the capital from Datong. It's better to wait inside the Great Wall, and find a place around Datong to immediately settle down. First, after all, this is within the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and it is convenient for family members to worship; Second, the weather is very hot, so it won't cause any trouble on the road. Of course, this is just the old man's own opinion. ”

Xu Xun wanted to transport back the bodies of all the victims, just thinking that he would not let these people die in a foreign land, but in the future, the corpses would be full of rat wolves, and now Yang Yiqing's reminder, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly smiled at Yang Yiqing and arched his hand.

"Thank you Yang Dutang for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost done something bad with good intentions. Just do what Yang Dutang said, but if Yang Dutang wants to enter Beijing, please wait a little while. Now the military situation is not as urgent as before for the time being, and Yang Dutang is leading the Datong army and horses this time, after all, it is urgent to follow the power, and it is better to return to Beijing with me and Gonggong Zhang at that time, so as not to be attacked by the crowd, and there is no explanation. ”

"This ......"

Yang Yiqing hesitated slightly, but seeing Shenying nodding at him again and again, he finally agreed: "It's okay, then the old man will bother him a few more times!" ”
