From the beginning of the Hongzhi period of the fire screen station, the three sides of Shaanxi have never stopped, the fire screen himself is often led to attack, and the other generals under the command of the little prince, also often because of the covetousness of this pasture and led the troops to disturb the side, the three towns of Shaanxi from east to west, almost every year there are several times a large or small into the coward, the dead soldiers and even the abducted people and livestock are countless. Compared with the rest of the provinces, the reputation of the name of the fire screen in the three towns of Shaanxi is simply like a fierce god.

Therefore, when the army went south, Balsborough was not so much defending as the risky Pingbei Bo Xu Xun, but rather the fire sieve. Seeing that he was personally leading the troops with himself, he was a little relieved. Even so, there was a clear distinction between the two armies, separated by at least a hundred paces of space, and in terms of marching formation, the fire sieve was slightly ahead, and his troops and horses were slightly behind.

However, when the soldiers arrived at the Xingwu camp, seeing that the fire sieve had driven the slaves of the station to tear down the wall, Balsborough immediately ordered the whole army to slow down, and seeing that the dilapidated side wall had suddenly broken several huge openings, and the whole fire sieve army had rushed into the pass impatiently, so he immediately ordered the whole army to follow. However, after only a few hundred steps of crossing the wall, he only heard a horse neighing and scolding in front of him, and immediately after, he saw a scene that made his pupils shrink suddenly.

At least a few hundred paces wide, almost all the men and horses in front fell into the suspected trap like a green onion, and the men and horses behind could not stop the momentum, but fell into it one after another, only the scattered riders because of their excellent equestrian skills, or the good jumping power of the mounts under them, narrowly crossed the extremely wide pit. However, before the men could gain a foothold, he heard a burst of blinking, and then saw an overwhelming array of feathered arrows raining down in this direction.

"Protect Jinong!"

Although the guards around him surrounded him all at once. Some of them surrounded him tightly with small round shields, while others raised their swords to remove the feathered arrows that were shooting in this direction. However. But Balsborough could see clearly, these feathered arrows seemed to be overwhelming, but in fact they were scarce. Although he and the Akito did not fight much, they had heard of it from the captives. Most of the weapons of the Ming people were shoddy, and Bai Sheng, who was the master of ceremonies before, also swore an oath. In the Ming Dynasty, the weapons supervisor was full of corruption, and there were often not enough arrows in front. Therefore, the soldiers and horses who saw the fire screen rushed forward desperately. He hesitated for only a moment. At last he shouted, "Rush forward, the trench is too wide to stop our horses!" ”

Sure enough, as long as one noticed the trench, a distance of one or two feet, there were indeed many excellent knights who jumped over again and again. This time, the arrows were much sparser. The Mongol cavalry who had crossed the trench saw that there were only thousands of cavalry and foot soldiers there, and they were enraged and slaughtered them without thinking. However, just as they passed by the flat land where there was no clue, a number of riders and horses were planted in it.

And this time, coincidentally, the most planted were the soldiers and horses under the command of Balsborot, and most of the soldiers and horses on the other side of the fire sieve were unharmed. At this moment, Balsborough, who had just suspected that the Ming people's defense was too unpredictable prophet, completely changed his face, and only one thought was born in his heart.

Could it be that the fire screen is really in cahoots with Mingren and wants to trick him into being shortlisted? Impossible, in order to prevent the Ming from sneaking up on the camp, he deliberately left three thousand elites, and instructed those guards who protected Tululetu, and when he left, he immediately hijacked Bayar, knowing that it was the lifeblood of the fire sieve, and there was no reason to be able to leave it easily, and the fire sieve also left two thousand troops to stay behind this time. Moreover, the fire sieve of its own soldiers and horses has just been quite damaged, if it merges with the Ming people, there is no reason to sacrifice their own people as a target! …,

Balsborough was shocked, and the fire sieve did not expect that behind the crumbling side wall, such a trap was hidden. Fearing a repeat of the same mistake, he had to wave his hand and order his subordinates to temporarily retract their positions, and then let the rear team catch up with the slaves who had demolished the wall before, and drive them forward with shouts and feathered arrows. Sure enough, those Ming people among them really shouted desperately for help in Chinese, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

However, in the past, when encountering such a situation, they often did not hesitate to shoot the military horses of their own compatriots, but this time they did not move. Until he regretted that he should have mixed some elites in it in order to launch a sneak attack, he suddenly heard a rumbling cannon sound from the wall behind him. Immediately after, I saw one shell after another falling among the military horses below.

Akito knew they would attack from this segment? How could this be, even if they had sent out a scout horse and could start preparing from his movements, it would have been too late!

Although Balsborough and the fire sieve did wave their troops towards the Xingwu camp, no one would really attack the sturdy fortified city of the Xingwu camp guarding the Thousand Households, but instead focused on the gaps on the east side of the Xingwu camp. Previously, the horse scouts they sent out knew that there were seven or eight gaps in the area from Xingwuying to Huamachi, and because of this, no one thought that this was the possibility of bait. Moreover, the fire screen did not even follow the habit of rushing up from all over the place to enter the Kou in previous years, and directly demolished a gap a little bigger, and then the troops entered.

Yang Yiqing, who was standing on a side wall arrow battlement, heard the sound of artillery, and finally showed a smile on his face that had been tense. After Xu Xun and Shenying served as the chief soldiers of the left and right official halls of the 12th regiment battalion, they trained the military horses to use firearms, and also put a lot of effort into the ordnance supervision, these artillery pieces were secretly transported to the three sides of Shaanxi one after another from the end of last year until now, of course, at the same time, there are also the elites of the original 12th regimental battalion Shenji Battalion who have been trained for a long time in the left and right official halls, compared with the border army, they are not brave enough, and they are more than skilled. After all, not all soldiers and horses can really practice with gunpowder so luxuriously.

The matter of Fuhetao is still in the court discussion stage, but he has discussed it with Xu Xun more than once. The construction of the border wall has continued from last year to the present, and those who should know it have known it for a long time, and the Mongolian people are naturally no exception. In this case, it seems that the area from Huamachi to Xingwuying is naturally the focus, and it was Yu Zijun who built the hundreds of miles of border walls, but if it weren't for the previous Wang Yue who beat the captives so that he didn't dare to stay in the Hetao, this side of the wall would not have been built within a few months, and then it was peaceful for many years. And it's the same today. The Mongols would not sit idly by and watch as the area was built with a stronger border wall, and the opportunity to attack could not only plunder. And it can also make him, the trilateral general, step down.

The Mongolian people who have been back to the Central Plains once. It's no longer a barbarian who can only fight and kill, and it's also quite calculating!

"Lord Yang, the captives have retreated slightly."

Yang Yiqing came back to his senses at this time, and then said, "The foot soldiers are moving forward." Let the Shenji battalion at the rear prepare firearms, and the cavalry on both wings will attack according to the flag! ”

When I heard the crackling of firearms. Condescendingly, he found that the position of the front army of the captives was really chaotic, and with the volleys of firearms again and again, more flags and smoke and dust were exposed in the rear. He saw that the horses on the right flank of the captives were gradually in a little commotion. He left the others behind and retreated. Faced with this scene, he immediately shouted: "Come on, beat the drum!" ”

As the war drums on the side wall beat one after another, the drums became louder and louder for a while, and finally there was a tendency to resound in the sky. Seeing that his momentum was like a rainbow, Yang Yiqing took a deep breath. The command commanded the banner to be raised, and the cavalry on both wings attacked for a while. He finally saw that the formation of the captives was getting more and more disorganized, and at last some of them retreated, but as the horses and horses stumbled again, more people began to shout, presumably afraid of the trench traps and the like. ..., "Dig a trench to take soil, pile soil for the mountain as a defense, and then use those soil mixed stones to ram the side wall immediately after this time, but it is ...... kill two birds with one stone" Yang Yiqing said this, but he remembered that when he exchanged letters with Xu Xun a few years ago, he talked about these designs, Xu Xun agreed with him, and said to him to dig deep trenches and accumulate grain, which was actually a change in the way of Emperor Taizu's high wall and extensive grain accumulation, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Lord Yang, the captives have retreated, but the main force has not been lost, and I don't know if it will enter the Kou in other directions."

Seeing that the deputy thousand households guarding the palace of the Xingwu camp came up to report, Yang Yiqing said lightly: "They won't die so easily, after all, this dispatch is more than 10,000 military horses, and there will be corresponding pressure everywhere next." Order all parties to be on guard! ”

Sure enough, as Yang Yiqing expected, in the previous battle, the losses of the fire sieve and the troops and horses of Balsborot were not large, but the fact that the first battle could not be retreated made the upper and lower levels angry. Especially the suspicion that the fire screen and the Ming army merged, so Balsborot, who led the troops to retreat first, was even more in his heart. When the two people were together, he didn't even wait for the fire sieve to speak, and said viciously: "Although the Ming people are cunning, they may not be able to take such precautions everywhere!" ”

The fire sieve looked at the angry Balsborot and couldn't help but think of Urusborot, who had lost his wisdom in the previous defeat. However, at this moment, even he himself was really shocked, so when he heard this, he just frowned and said: "The border wall from Xingwuying to Huamachi is the most dilapidated, and if you want to enter Shaanxi, only this area is the best place to start." ”

"Then hit the flower horse pond!"

Although Balsborough was only a few simple words, his face already showed his determination. After gathering for a while, more than 10,000 military horses roared towards Huamachi. However, before the striker arrived at Huamachi, he actually encountered a group of rangers of the Ming army, and the two sides were on par with each other, so while reporting back to the team, they were galloping to report the defenders of Huamachi. In the face of this strange scene, remembering what happened before, when entering the customs again, whether it was Balsborough or the fire sieve, there were no more than a thousand military horses sent out. And this time, the news brought by the returned military horse made their faces even more unpleasant.

There are still trenches ahead, and they are deeper and wider!

"These damn Ming people, when did they change their careers to be rats!"

No matter how much they tried to make a fire in their hearts, they all hit their heads on the trench formation, and Balsborough and the fire sieve both had a little retreat. Although it is not as good as when the Ming army gathered more than 100,000 people to search the Hetao during the Chenghua period, this situation made them smell a bit of a crisis. Symbolically, a few groups of military horses were sent to sentry along the side wall, and the two of them slowly led their troops to retreat north. But at this moment, a few sentry spies from the rear made them shocked and angry.

A detachment of the Ming people went straight to the upper reaches of the Dusitu River!
