At noon on August 17 in the fourth year of Chongzhen, at the foot of Changshan, an army came slowly, and the first person was Sun Chengzong, the current Liao Governor of the Ming Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at it, the Ming army is still mighty, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses walk together, the momentum is huge, people shout horses neighing, smoke and dust rolling.

On the far right, there was an army with the banner of the word 'Xiao', which was inconspicuous among the tens of thousands of people, and the sound of neat steps was also muffled by the noisy sound of friendly marching.

If you look closely, you can see that this team is different.

At this moment, a non-commissioned officer who did not collect at night drove two horses through the crowd, and when he saw Xiao Yi, he just hugged his fist and said: "General, this is Changshan!" ”

Xiao Yi nodded, he had actually arrived at Changshan, this is a dangerous place, Xiao Yi naturally knew that according to the development of history, the Tartar should not be far away at this moment, and he should be careful

For some reason, the night that he sent out has not yet reported the situation about the Tartars, but he can't take it lightly.

If Hou Jin took advantage of the army crossing the river and suddenly rushed out from all sides, most of the officers and troops without any formation defense would be crushed again, and Xiao Yidang decided to go to see Sun Chengzong.

After letting Huang Yang lead the whole army on his behalf, Xiao Yi rode his horse to Sun Chengzong.

At that time, Sun Chengzong was discussing something with Qiu Hejia, and when he saw Xiao Yi coming in a hurry, he asked Xiao Yi what had happened.

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time, and immediately decided: "Pass the order, the whole army will stop advancing, send sentinels to investigate, and then march again." ”

Qiu Hejia frowned and said: "Governor, this place is only more than thirty miles away from the Daling River, and it can be reached in half a day. ”

Looking at Xiao Yi, Qiu Hejia said bluntly: "What's more, this Xiao Yi is just a small guerrilla general, although he has a little military exploits, the governor should not pay too much attention to him." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yiquan didn't hear it, after all, he was still soft-spoken, if it wasn't for the leader of the army led by Inspector Sun Chengzong this time, Xiao Yi would not have come to give advice, and he would do his own thing as before.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi just looked at Sun Chengzong with burning eyes. 、

While they were discussing, there was a sudden chaos on the north side, and a noisy voice came.

"There is dust and smoke, the horse team is coming, the number is at least tens of thousands, I'm afraid it's coming!" A sergeant who used the Yongan Army to gallop at night, and when he arrived here, he hugged his fist.

It seems that this Ye Bushu has just experienced a life-and-death struggle, and there is only one war horse left under his crotch, his clothes and armor are also messy, and there is a trace of blood on his face that has long been coagulated.

"What? How could the Tartars know that we were going to the Long Mountain! Qiu Hejia was shocked and shouted.

As soon as the words fell, several Yong'an soldiers galloped from a distance at night, and they heard as if they were shouting something before they were close, but they couldn't hear it from too far.

I got closer to hear it clearly.

"Hurry up and prepare for the war, Shen Jiachang is dead in battle, and the Tartar is almost here!!"

A night did not retreat and walked in front of Xiao Yi, his eyes turned white after saying this, and he fell under the horse with a pop, and there were a few feathered arrows deeply stuck in his back.

Ge Fuquan was shocked: "It's really a Tartar!" ”

Xiao Yi naturally knew why the Tartars understood the movements of the Ming army very clearly, from beginning to end, the Ming army was full of spies.

It is easy for the loyal Han Aha of the Tartars to take advantage of Sun Chengzong's pity for the people and pretend to be a rout or a homeless person to blend into the military camp, and the Ming army is not strictly disciplined.

It didn't take long for Qiu Hejia and Sun Chengzong's sentry to return one after another, and the news brought by Qiu Hejia and others was even more surprising, and the dust and smoke raised by the march of the Tartar horse team appeared everywhere.

The land of the plains has always been a place to look at the mountains and run dead horses, although seeing the dust and smoke rising, and knowing that there are cavalry marching, there is still some distance, although this time is very short.

Qiu Hejia and the others were as anxious as ants on a messy pot, and from time to time some generals pulled their necks and shouted in horror: "Governor, what should I do!? ”

Sun Chengzong held his hand on Shang Fang's sword and said in a loud voice: "What else can I do?" Pass on the order of the Overseer and line up to meet the enemy! ”

Sun Chengzong's marching method was a common way in the late Ming Dynasty, and the army was divided, and Han Shimeng, the chief military officer of Datong, was brave and brave, leading an army of 10,000 to move forward for several miles, opening up the way for the army.

Meng Xiping, a guerrilla general on the west road, and Ren Quan, a guerrilla general on the north road, each led 2,000 men to the rear and the west, while Xiao also led the Yongan Army of his headquarters to protect the Chinese army on the east side.

Sun Chengzong led most of the remaining nearly 40,000 people to serve as the Chinese army, and dispatched them back and forth according to the battle situation, and the general Qiu Hejia and Ge Fuquan, the guerrilla general on the west road of Datong Town, followed him.

After Sun Chengzong's military order was issued, there were horse mounted sergeants from the standard battalion rushing to each army to pass on the order of the superintendent.

After receiving the information that Ye Bu was not collected, Xiao Yi did not care about remembering the night that died in the war, and immediately withdrew to the Yong'an army on the east side with a few Ye Bu.

Xiao Yi had just come back, and before he could give the order, he saw Wang Dayong riding his horse back, followed by most of the night non-commissioned officers, as if he had gone through a vicious battle.

The knives in the hands of Wang Dayong and everyone have been drawn, all with coagulated blood, after hearing Wang Dayong's report.

Shi Gang and everyone were very calm, but they just stared at Xiao Yi, just waiting for Xiao Yi's order.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, and pulled out the Qi family knife, in order to ensure the effect, Xiao Yi stepped directly on the standing horse, so that the whole army could see him.

shouted loudly: "Brothers, the Tartars who slaughtered the soldiers and civilians are coming, no need to say more, just follow me Xiao Yi and kill the captives!! ”

"Killing !!"

Sun Chengzong's pacesetter rode to Xiao Yi's army and was looking for Xiao Yi, but suddenly heard a shout that shook the mountain.

"Killing !!"

Immediately after that, several shouts rang out one after another, and as far as the eye could see, every soldier of the Yong'an Army moved almost at the same time.

In the eyes of this pacesetter, it took less than half an hour to transform into another military formation.

If you can look at it from above, the military formation of the Yong'an Army is like a huge word at this time, with two layers of sword players holding giant shields and heavy armor on the periphery, and three layers of pikemen with ironclad tiger spears inside.

Further inside, there are the bird-gunners and gunners who are waiting for battle, and they are tinkering with the bird-guns and cannons in front of them, ready to fill and fire at any time.

Zhou Baotai, Lai Damao, and Wei Zhongwu led the cavalry battalion to surround the side, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

opened his mouth wide, restrained his shocked expression, this pacesetter no longer had the arrogance of Fang Cai, and said: "Pass on the order of the superintendent, Xiao Yi's department strictly guards the east wing, and without the order of the superintendent, you must not act rashly!" ”

Xiao Yi clenched his fists and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

……

At the same time, Ren Quan, a guerrilla general on the Datong North Road who was marching on the west side, suddenly received a military order from Sun Chengzong, ordering him to strictly guard the west side and not to act rashly.

After sending off the pacesetter, Ren Quan's family officer Ren Dong frowned and said, "How can the Tartars know when our army will arrive at Changshan?" ”

Hearing the attack of the Tartars, Ren Quan was not afraid, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted: "No matter, all the soldiers, follow the general to form a formation to resist the enemy, and send an order to Xue Peng!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw a stream of sergeants running back, Ren Quan was surprised, where is this sergeant, could it be that Da Linghe has fallen?

Urgently ordered the Jiading team to intercept it, and at the same time pulled through a rout and asked.

According to this rout, it was actually his own front battalion that had been defeated, how could this be!?

Ren Quan roared angrily: "Call Xue Peng here, I want to ask him how he became the former battalion officer of this one!" ”

The rout bowed his head and said, "... Tell the general, Lord Xue formed a formation to defend against the enemy, and wanted to send someone to tell the general, but the Tartars were too strong, and we were scattered before we could form a formation, and the brothers fled to death, and Lord Xue was also killed by a fierce and vicious Tartar..."
