Damn, Lao Tzu is so lucky? Qin Lin touched his nose when he heard the news, as soon as he arrived at the general soldier of Jizhen Town, there was a big battle to fight.

Qi Jin and several flag officials stared at Qin Lin with their eyes open, and they really had nothing to say to him.

Who said in front of him, "I hope that the Mongolian captives will come here, so that the little brother can see the demeanor of Brother Qi's command and decisive victory"? Damn, Chief Qin is a golden mouth, and the order is followed, oh no, a real crow's mouth!

"Brother Qin, you are really prescient!" Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly and patted Qin Lin's shoulder, and then scratched his head: "Taolinkou is more than 100 miles away from Santun Camp, and the army can come to aid in two days, if the light cavalry rescue can be sent early and late, Tumen Khan and Dong Fox were beaten by Ben Shuai in the third year of Wanli, and they were beaten all over the ground to find teeth in the sixth year of Wanli, which has just stopped for two years, how can they dare to come to death?" ”

Mei Xiang and Qi Jiguang were a little bit at odds, hindering Qin Lin from being too bad, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Qi Shuai can't help but think too highly of himself, I used to hear that in the Song Dynasty, there was a fan in the army, and the western thief was frightened, is it now that there is a Qi in the army, and the Tartar thief's heart is extinguished?" In our opinion, it may not be. ”

"Ben Shuai just thinks that Dong Fox is cunning and suspicious, and Tumen Khan is scheming, so he shouldn't repeat the mistakes of the past......" Qi Jiguang frowned, secretly calculated in his heart, and hurriedly walked towards Shuai's mansion.

"Chief Qin, what do you think?" Mei Xiang picked Qin Lin again.

Qin Lin smiled at him: "I think it's reliable, this matter of marching and fighting is still reliable for the border commander, whether it is the Zhongguan Supervision Army or our factory guard official school, you should be a little self-aware." ”

You! Mei Xiang was choked so much that her throat was blocked, and her face was blue and white, and she was about to turn green.

In the lobby of the Shuaifu, a huge map was hung, Gubeikou, Xifengkou, Taolinkou, Shanhaiguan, Yuyuguan, Baimaguan, Santunying, Yanheying, Jianchangying, the key points of defense along the Great Wall, and the tribal range beyond the Great Wall, all of which are vividly visible.

The deputy commanders-in-chief, staff generals, guerrilla generals, garrisons, and generals stood in a large area under the pressure of the black, and they were either angry or solemn, and there was an atmosphere of imminent battle.

There is no trivial matter in border defense, if Jizhen is breached, the Beijing division will be in danger, and during the Jiajing period, the Tartars entered the Kou, and there were two successive governors of Jiliao who were beheaded for dereliction of duty, and ten commanders were dismissed one after another, which is not a joke.

Qin Lin is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he has the right to participate in the maintenance of the aircraft, and Mei Xiang, as the eunuch of the supervising army, is even more natural to be here.

Qi Jiguang was dressed in full armor and introduced the situation in person.

Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, Qi Jiguang is old and has a son, his own son is still young, Qi Jin is the brave general he brought out, and when the master general finishes, he immediately takes a step forward: "Dashuai, the last general asks for orders to lead the army to aid Taolinkou, and is willing to behead Dong Fox and Tumen Khan's dog head, and dedicate it to the Dashuai's account!" ”

A general with a leopard's head and eyes came out to fight: "Use a knife to kill chickens, and the major general will stay in the town, and send the last general!" ”

"The last will go!" More generals clenched their fists and begged for their lives, and swords and armor collided with a clanging sound.

Qi Jiguang smiled and waved his hand: "The courage of the brothers, Ben Shuai knows it in his heart. However, Duoyan Dong Fox and the little prince Tumen of the Tuban Department, the two families are in one place, called 100,000 people who control the strings, if they really come to fight Taolinkou, I am afraid that the commander must personally raise troops to help. ”

Really come to fight Taolinkou? The generals looked at each other.

In addition to the beacon tower to send the police, scouts out of the customs to investigate, the observation of the river is also an important means of early warning in Jizhen.

From the Mongolian Plateau to the North China Plain, the terrain is lowered all the way, and most of the rivers flow from high to low, from the Mongolian steppe in the north to the Jizhen in the south.

Chaohe, Baihe, Luanhe, Qinglong River and other rivers are all like this.

The drinking water of tens of thousands of horses is by no means easy to solve, and it is necessary to drink horses with the help of these rivers, so the river will be muddy, and the river will float in the debris including horse mane, so that the downstream direction can be found and prepared in advance.

Of course, if the captives had completed the assembly in the hinterland of the grassland, hundreds of miles away, and then quickly urged the troops south, exceeding the speed of the river, they would not have been detected in advance. But in doing so, the corresponding logistical pressure is also high, and the people are tired.

In addition, even the large Mongolian tribes are scattered into small groups and scattered for grazing, otherwise how can there be so much grass to feed the livestock when the place is small? These scattered communities need to be assembled into an army of tens of thousands of string controllers, and it is not possible to do it in a day or two.

In the third year of Wanli, the sixth year of Wanli, and even the captives and horses knocked on the pass during the Longqing period, there was a corresponding phenomenon of the river becoming muddy, so the generals felt that this time it must be Dong Fox, Tumen Khan and the thief who did not die, and went south to fight.

"Ben Shuai doesn't think so," Qi Jiguang pointed to the topographic map, "South of Taolinkou, there is indeed Yongping Mansion, which hoards a lot of food, armor and weapons, if Tumen Khan and Dong Fox take Yongping Mansion, they will be able to eat with their mouths full of oil......

"That's right, they just want to break through Taolinkou and take Yongping Mansion directly!" Mei Xiang interjected, putting on a look of being proficient in military affairs.

Qin Lin glared at him, and said angrily, "Can you shut up for the time being?" Let's listen to the professionals. ”

Mei Xiang was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he sulked with his cheeks.

Qi Jiguang smiled at Qin Lin, and changed his words: "But, everyone, please see, within fifty miles south of Taolinkou, there are three generals, Jianchang Battalion, Taitou Battalion, and Yanhe Battalion, with 7,000 troops stationed in Tun, and the army of our Santun Camp can arrive in two days, even if the Tatars capture Taolinkou, do they have time to fight these three battalions?" If you don't fight, go directly to Yongping Mansion, when our army arrives, plus three generals to respond, it will be closed and beaten dogs, they robbed Yongping Mansion's military funds, how to escape back to Guanwai? ”

The generals looked at the map, everyone had been at the border for a long time and was proficient in military affairs, and immediately felt that Qi Jiguang was reasonable.

Thinking that Nian Tumen Khan and Dong Fox had been repeatedly defeated by Qi Jiguang, and their strength was no longer possible to directly hit the Beijing Division, the most suitable tactic for them was to quickly attack a certain place along the Great Wall, open a gap and quickly break through, loot the city behind the Great Wall, and then return with a full load.

This time, the other party wants to fight Taolinkou, are they confident that they can beat the invincible Qi Jiguang in the world? Can you defeat the Ming army, which has firearms and relies on the strong Great Wall?

And the opponent's attack has not been launched for a long time, and at this time, it has been discovered because of the muddy river water, and the offensive intention is discovered, no matter how you think about it, it feels a little wrong...... The generals immediately began to talk about it, some people said that the truth is false, and the enemy is going to fight Taolinkou, and some people said that they were going to attack the east and the west, and they were afraid that they would fight Baima Pass.

Mei Xiang wanted to speak a few times and stopped, looked at Qin Lin sitting next to him, and finally didn't say anything, he, he was really scared by Chief Qin.

Qin Lin knew that he was not from the army, and he didn't know much about these border matters, so he only listened to it and didn't say anything, and listened to the generals and officials noisily talking about the military situation, but he also relished it.

The public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and none of the generals could convince anyone, but Qi Jiguang smiled and did not stop it, and let the generals under his command argue.

But Qi Jin thought about it first: "Ah, no, why haven't we sent the news back yet?" Not good, I'm afraid it's ......"

As he was talking, the general in charge of the flying pigeons ran in with a sad expression, knelt down and said: "Qiyu Marshal, the general of the Yanhe battalion has sent another message, the scouts we sent out from Taolinkou were all killed by the damned Tartars, and the corpses floated down the river, and there was still a Tartar mixed with that Yan Qianhu, it seems that the two sides suddenly encountered each other, and they died together after the battle." ”

This time, Qi Jin became a crow's mouth, he touched his mouth, looked at Qin Lin again, and didn't dare to speak indiscriminately.

The generals all looked at each other, their eyes wide open, and they immediately geared up to avenge their comrades.

Mei Xiangdong jumped up from the chair suddenly, and his skills were extremely vigorous: "Sure enough, even Qianhu Nayan is leading the team, and the captives are going to fight Taolinkou, Qi Jiguang, you are pushing three and four times, you must be afraid of the enemy!" ”

The generals were aggrieved for the marshal, but it was not easy to argue with the eunuchs of the supervising army, especially the current situation, which confirmed his views.

You must know that Nayan is a nobleman among the Mongolian Tatars, and a Nayan Qianhu will lead hundreds to more than 1,000 herdsmen, if the ranger horse of the Jizhen outgoing sentry killed a Nayan Qianhu, and he will still be killed, it means that there may be a more senior Mongolian nobleman leading the army.

10,000 households? Taiji? Or Tumen Khan and Dong Fox, these two great disasters in the north of the Ming Dynasty!

Although Mei Xiang stayed at home all day long to enjoy happiness, hugged left and right, ate, drank, and gambled, but the people who could achieve the position of eunuch in the prison army were all cunning and deceitful guys, and they all had a little bit of stuff under their hands, at least they had a thorough understanding of the situation at the border pass.

"Qi Jiguang, if you refuse to send troops to help, our family will sue you for being afraid of the enemy, cowardly and incompetent!" Mei Xiang was extraordinarily proud, and her already sharp voice became an octave higher.

Qi Jiguang didn't care, just lowered his head and looked at the map, thinking about his own affairs, and taking his clamor as the wind in his ears.

Qin Lin couldn't look at it, stood up and said with a smile: "Qi Shuai, may I ask where are the corpses of those scouts, as well as the corpses of Yan Qianhu?" ”

Mei Xiang was going to play a few more words, but when he saw Qin Lin standing up, he turned his face: "Haha, does General Qin want to find evidence that Qi is afraid of the enemy?" ”

Qi Jiguang ignored him and smiled at Qin Lin: "The staff general of the Yanhe battalion has already transported those corpses here in a carriage, and they will arrive in the middle of the night." What's the matter, Brother Qin's eyes are like lightning, and he wants to help Brother Fool? ”

Qin Lin nodded: "Yes, I really don't know much about military affairs, but seeing those corpses, I may be able to help Brother Qi." ”
