When Luo Chang and Liu Tiehan entered the Chinese military tent with great interest, they found that Su Tiancheng's face was pale.

Next to Su Tiancheng, there was a general sitting with a very embarrassed look on his face, Wang Dazhi stood behind Su Tiancheng, his eyes erupted with anger, and Ma Huabiao was standing not far in front of Su Tiancheng, obviously just reporting something.

Seeing Luo Chang and Liu Tiehan coming in, Su Tiancheng nodded.

Seeing this situation, Luo Chang and Liu Tiehan were very interested, stood aside, and did not speak for the time being.

"General Yu, this official wants to know Lu Dao, how many people have invaded the army of the Mongolian tribes, this official has asked several times, your words are always changing, you are the guard commander of the Ningxia guard, don't tell me, you don't know the situation, such a major matter, if you don't know, wouldn't it be a serious dereliction of duty."

Luo Chang and Liu Tiehan finally got to know the truth, and it turned out that the sitting general was the commander of the Ningxia guard.

Commander Yu's face was red and white for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"General Yu, don't think that this official can't control you, the military situation is important, the official is holding the sword of Shang Fang, at a critical moment, the official can also cut first and then play, the official doesn't want to do this, but if you don't tell the truth, don't blame the official for being polite, Wang Dazhi, please come out of the sword of Shang Fang."

Yu Commander's body began to tremble, the prestige of the Jiangning battalion, of course he knew that he was just the commander of the Ningxia guard, if Su Tiancheng really cut off his head, no one would avenge him.

"My lord, I said, I said ......"

Commander Yu stood up, and he didn't dare to sit anymore.

"We also don't know the exact number of Mongolian Tatars entering the customs. On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, a sergeant reported that the Tartars had entered the pass from the area of Andingbao, and the purpose must have been to plunder the villages and towns, so we reported that the Mongol Tatars had invaded the pass on a large scale. My lord, that's how we used to report it......"

"So, you didn't send scouts to investigate the information, but you wrote down the report based on the situation in the Fort of Anning?"

"No, the guard sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance and found two groups of Mongolian Tatars, the exact number of which is unknown. In the past, every Spring Festival, Mongolian Tatars would enter the customs in a big way. ”

Su Tiancheng's eyes were about to burst into flames, from the twenty-third day of the lunar month to today, ten days have passed, and the Ningxia guards only know the two Mongolian Tatars that have entered the customs of the Ningxia Guard, and Anning Fort is under the jurisdiction of the Ningxia Guards, that is to say. All the information detected, that is, two Mongol Tatar invasions. Moreover, these Tartars have been harassing the garrison of the Ningxia Guards for so long, and the guards have not sent a single soldier to let the Tartars harass.

"This official asks you again, do Ningxia Wei and Ningxia Qianzhong know this information?"

Commander Yu nodded and did not speak.

Su Tiancheng's heart was cold. It seems that this is the result of the discussion of the Ningxia Wei Institute, and he lied about the military situation, in order to get the silver taels allocated by the imperial court, but he believed it and mobilized the army. to encircle and suppress the Mongol Tatars.

This kind of thing came out, it was really a big joke, 15,000 soldiers were mobilized, and the Mongolian Tartars faced were less than 600 people, so the mobilization of the army came from a false intelligence, and what was even worse was that the 5,000 soldiers led by Hong Chengchou had entered the Hetao area to attack the Mongolian tribes with neat personnel.

Su Tiancheng seemed to be in command for a while, waved his hand, and signaled Yu to leave the Chinese military tent.

Commander Yu was granted amnesty and hurriedly left the Chinese military tent.

"Liu Tiehan, Luo Chang, how is the battle situation, try to be as simple as possible."

Luo Chang clenched his fists and spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates did not fail in their mission, they wiped out two Mongolian Tatars, none of them escaped, the biggest gain was to capture a Han captive, it is said that after being plundered by the Mongolian Tatars, because of their strength, they were absorbed into the army by the Mongolian Tatars."

Su Tiancheng stood up suddenly.

"Hurry up and bring the captives, hurry."

This captive was about forty years old, and at a glance, he knew that Lu Dao was a Han man, although he was said to be full of beards, but the appearance of the Mongols and the Han people was still very different.

After the prisoner entered the tent of the Chinese army, he immediately knelt down.

Su Tiancheng went straight to the topic.

"You are a Han Chinese, plundered by the Mongol Tatars, there are a few questions, I need to know the Tao, if you still remember your ancestors, you will answer my questions truthfully."

The captive nodded repeatedly.

"The first question, which tribes are the Mongolian tribal armies that entered the customs this time, and how many people have entered the customs?"

"It's the army of the Xibe and Daurian tribes, I came with the Xibe Niulu Ezhen, a total of 280 people, and the other group, I heard that it is 270 people, this is what I know a lot, and the rest of the situation is not clear."

"The Xibe and Daurian tribes, and whether there are any other armies entering the customs?"

"Nope."

"The second question, what is the purpose of your entry this time, why are there so few people entering the customs?"

"Lord Hui, I heard that the emperor, no, Huang Taiji issued an order that it is not allowed to enter the customs easily, but the tribe's food is short, and the climate is not good this year, so it is difficult to maintain, so the tribal leader decided to take the risk and enter the customs to plunder."

"It's been so long since I entered the gate, and I haven't left anything."

"I haven't grabbed anything all the time, and it's also because there are fewer people, so I only dare to move around Gaopingbao, and I don't dare to go to other places."

Su Tiancheng narrowed his eyes, this captive, answered the question very clearly, seemed to be somewhat knowledgeable, and did not seem particularly panicked, it seemed that he was not an ordinary person.

"Hehe, it's better for you to tell the truth, tell me what your identity is."

The captive raised his head and looked at Su Tiancheng, his eyes a little unruly.

Su Tiancheng stared at the captive's eyes.

Finally, the captive looked away.

"Lord Hui, I have already said that I used to live in the local area, and was plundered by the Mongolian Tatars, and after arriving at the Mongolian tribe, by chance, I was really favored by Niu Lu and entered the army."

"Hehe, you are a Han Chinese, don't you know the thoughts of the Mongols, and the Han people can't be compared, these words of yours, to the Mongolian Tartars, may be useful, to the official, do they have an effect, if you don't want to tell the truth, it doesn't matter, the official needs to know the situation of the Dao, all know the Dao, and it won't be of much use to leave you."

The captive's face flushed, to be honest, his heart has been crushed, after entering the Ningxia guard station, it was originally rampant, who knew that Lu Dao suddenly encountered an army, this army is completely different, Niu Lu Ezhen still dealt with it according to the previous method, so that everyone rushed up, defeated the Ming army, at least able to grab the war horse uniform, etc., who knew that Lu Dao, after the two sides contacted, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the brothers around him were not opponents at all, seeing that they fell off the horse one by one, Niu Lu really found that the situation was not right, Hurriedly asked everyone to disperse and escape, this time it was even worse, in the ambush to deal with, the scattered brothers, none of them were able to escape, they have been by Niu Lu Ezhen's side, at the moment of emergency, Niu Lu Ezhen asked what he should do, and he couldn't think of a good way.

"My lord, I am a Han Chinese, but I have entered the army of the Mongolian Tatars, I am a traitor, I don't expect to live, before I die, I asked abruptly, I don't know what the identity of Lord Lu Dao is."

"Hehe, it seems that you are really unusual, okay, this official will tell you, this official is the governor of Shaanxi Province and the commander of the Jiangning battalion, Su Tiancheng."

The captive's body began to tremble, and some were speechless.

After a long while, the captive found that he had not been dragged down and beheaded, and he raised his head to find that Su Tiancheng was looking at him.

"You have a chance to tell the truth, look at your appearance, you are also a scholar, you know the etiquette, righteousness and shame, the official may have a place for you, see if you cherish it, the official gives you a stick of incense time, you think it clearly."

After the captives were escorted out, Su Tiancheng spoke with a stern face.

"The Jiangning battalion has seen unprecedented danger, all the soldiers are ready, set off overnight, we have to enter the Hetao area, the time is already a little late, I hope Lord Hong can lead the soldiers to withstand the pressure."

Everyone's faces changed, they didn't know why Su Tian would say this, it is said that Hong Chengchou has also been on the battlefield for a long time, and when facing danger, he will naturally be able to think of a way.

"Ningxia Wei lied about the military situation, this time it was a harm to the Jiangning battalion, everyone think about it, the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, the elite soldiers, are all in the tribe, did not enter the pass, Lord Hong only led 5,000 soldiers, to attack these two tribes, the situation must be dangerous, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, no experience in fighting in the desert, only by relying on the advantage of numbers, it is possible to achieve victory, besides, Lord Hong did not lead the artillery battalion, relying on the flesh and blood of the soldiers, there are no reinforcements behind him, the Jiangning battalion is not iron, You must understand that our soldiers are also flesh and blood, and they also have limits to endure. ”

Inside the Chinese military tent, it was unusually quiet, and everyone's faces were a little pale.

"Liu Tiehan, Luo Chang, the scout camp and the pioneer camp are very hard, but there is no time to rest, we must set off overnight, as soon as possible to find Lord Hong and other brothers, this time we go deep into the Hetao area, may encounter a lot of unexpected situations, all soldiers must be prepared to endure hardships and martyrdom."

No one said much, the situation was clear, at this time, it was to make all the preparations, set off immediately, enter the Hetao area, and if you act quickly, you can meet the brothers led by Hong Chengchou as soon as possible.

Rushing into the Hetao area, the danger is self-evident, 15,000 people, as well as the artillery battalion, the difficulties they face can be imagined, but there is no time to hesitate, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they have to break through.
