When Wang Pu led the army to Qi'erhai, it was almost dark.

The two small tribes of Horqin, nomadic on the edge of Haizi, had been slaughtered by the 600 vanguard cavalry pretending to be Jiannu, and by the time the subsequent cavalry arrived, the vanguard cavalry had already slaughtered hundreds of fat sheep and were roasting them on the fire, and the smell of fat mutton and cumin wafted in the air.

Wang Pu drank the mount under his crotch, turned around and shouted: "The whole army rests on the spot for half an hour, hurry up and eat!" ”

More than 3,000 soldiers dismounted, first led the hungry and thirsty horses to the sea to drink water and eat grass, and then gathered to the fire that the vanguard cavalry had already set up, cut off large pieces of fat mutton with sabers, and devoured them.

Wang Pu turned over and dismounted, and as soon as he walked to the fire, Lu Liu had already taken two steps forward and tore off a fat leg of lamb from the fat sheep that was roasted with oil stars, sent it to Wang Pu and said, "General, you eat." ”

Wang Pu shook his head and said, "You guys eat first." ”

Lu Liu scratched his head a little at a loss, so he had to put the fat leg of mutton on the fire again, Xiao Qi had already escorted Zhen Youcai back to Datong with two hundred family members, and the task of taking care of and protecting Wang Pu now fell on Lu Liu, Lu Liu suddenly took on this heavy responsibility, and he was inevitably a little nervous.

Wang Pu didn't have the heart to care about his new pro-soldier captain now, and now his mind was all on the Horqin people!

It was not an easy task to divert the Korqin cavalry, and to try to avoid a head-on battle with the Korqin in an unfavorable situation, and the best way was to mobilize the Korqin people, make them exhausted, and then fight them when they were sleepy.

But how to mobilize the Korqin people?

Wang Pu's gaze fell on the map.

The map of ancient China was very rough drawn, and the geography of mountains, rivers, rivers and lakes was seriously distorted, which could only be used for enjoyment, and had no military value.

Important locations such as Guihua City, Sanbula River, Dyingju Sea, and Qi'er Sea are also marked.

It is Wang Pu's carefully chosen march route to go east from the Xiangzhu Sea to the Qi'er Sea, and then drive north from the Qi'er Sea to the Sanbula River, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.

■■■

Ninety-nine springs are located in the middle of the Sanbula River and the Amyakan Sea.

As soon as the 8,000 cavalry assembled at Sanbula River led by the second son of Ukshan Sogar met the 800 remnants of Banketu's cavalry.

The brothers met in front of the battle, and Sogar asked in surprise, "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

"Second brother, don't say anything." Banktu said, "There is a large group of Ming cavalry who are going to sneak attack Sanbulachuan, and my father Khan is in danger, so you and I should hurry back to the army." ”

"Huh?" Sogar exclaimed, "The cavalry of the Ming army wants to sneak attack the Sanbula River? ”

"Yes." Bandtu said, "This group of Ming cavalry is very cunning, they first marched east from the Xiangzhu Sea to the Qi'er Sea, and then turned north from the Qi'er Sea to take the Sanbula River!" What's worse is that this cavalry of the Ming army is still riding three horses, and they can drive 300 miles in one day and one night, and they will be able to kill Sanbula River before noon tomorrow. ”

"This ...... Even if we rush back as fast as we can, we won't be able to rush to Father Khan's side before the Ming cavalry. Sogar hesitated, "Also, Father Khan only said that we should go to the sea to rescue the Tumuts, and the little brother of the arrow would not dare to call the shots without him." ”

The Horqin cavalry on this expedition only brought one war horse each, and the speed was definitely not as good as the cavalry of the Ming army, which is why Sogar said so.

Banktu scolded: "Is it the father Khan who matters, or the salvation of the Tumert people? ”

Sogar said: "Of course, it is the father Khan who matters. ”

Banktu said: "Then what are you hesitating about, hurry back to Sanbulachuan." ”

Suogar said: "But the Sanbula River is so big, the Ming army may not be able to find the location of the Khan's court, right?" ”

"Second brother, you are confused." Banketu said angrily, "Won't the Ming army catch a herdsman to lead the way?" ”

"Okay." Sogar was helpless and shouted, "The whole army listens to the order and returns to Sanbulachuan!" ”

Sanbula River, Korqin Khanting.

Just after noon, the prince of Heshuo Zhuoliktu, Wu Keshan, summoned more than a dozen of his concubines to the big tent to drink and have fun, although it was cold outside the tent, but the tent was warm and ambiguous like spring, more than a dozen concubines were only wearing thin Mongolian robes, and the powder and snow strands between their hands and feet were faintly visible, which was very sultry.

"Lord Wang, the slave family toasts you."

A plump and bewitching concubine put her entire delicate body into Ukshan's arms, while throwing flattering eyes at Ukshan, while constantly grinding Ukshan's lower abdomen with her hot fat buttocks, trying her best to tease, Ukshan's heart fluttered, and he couldn't help but recall the ** taste when he rode this hooves on the straddle Tartar last night.

Wu Keshan reached out and pinched the concubine's fat buttocks fiercely, and said with a low smile: "Scratch your hooves, it's spring again, isn't it?" ”

"Slaves don't want it." The enchantress's charming big eyes could almost drip water, and she bit her jade lip and said, "Lord Wang, you were really ruthless last night, and the slave family is still full of sore legs and weak legs." ”

"Lord Wang!"

When Wu Keshan was ** with the concubines, an urgent call suddenly sounded outside the tent.

"Is it Bart?" Wu Keshan pushed away the concubine of Demon Ye in his arms, stood up and said, "Come in." ”

When the curtain was lifted, the biting cold wind whistled in, and the thinly dressed concubines screamed and hid in a corner to avoid the wind.

The concubines of Ukshan threw flattering glances at the young man, but the young man didn't even look at them.

The young man entered the tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Wu Keshan, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, a herdsman has just come to report that a large group of Ming cavalry has been found ten miles south of the Khan's court!" ”

"Huh?" Ukshan's face changed, and he asked, "What did you say, Bart!?" ”

Bart's expression remained unchanged, and he responded: "Lord Wang, ten miles south of the Khan's court, a large group of Ming cavalry has been found!" ”

"Where did the Ming cavalry come from?" Wu Keshan said angrily, "Why didn't the herdsmen along the way find out, why didn't they come to report until now? ”

"Lord Wang." Bart said in a deep voice, "The cavalry of the Ming army came too quickly, almost directly towards the Khan's court, and they are likely to have our Mongol guides!" It's not that the herdsmen along the way didn't come to report the news, they had already arrived quickly, but when they arrived, the Ming cavalry was almost killed! ”

"Quick!" Ukshan shouted without thinking, "Immediately gather three thousand iron guards......

Wu Keshan didn't say anything halfway through, and then he remembered that the three thousand iron guards had already asked Banktu to take him to the Dying Sea.

"Lord Wang." Bart reminded in a low voice, "The three thousand iron guards have already followed the little prince to the Dying Sea!" ”

As soon as Bart's words fell, several nobles from the Korqin tribe had already broken in in a chaotic manner, shouting in unison: "Lord, it's not good, something is wrong!" ”

"Panic what!" Wu Keshan scolded angrily, "Isn't it just a few Ming cavalry, aren't they still ten miles away?" What are you panicking about? ”

"Lord Wang, it's amazing." A nobleman said with a pale expression, "It's not a few, it's a whole ten thousand riders!" ”

Bart said coldly: "There are no 10,000 riders, only 4,000 riders." ”

"Four thousand horsemen can't resist it." The nobleman said miserably, "Lord, you shouldn't have sent three thousand iron guards to the sea of death, let alone all the strong men of the river of Sanbula, and also sent them to the sea of death, whether the Tumut people live or die is what does it matter to our Horqin people?" ”

"Lord Wang, let's leave quickly." Bart persuaded, "I'm afraid it'll be too late if you don't leave." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late." The Horqin nobleman who spoke just now said miserably, "Listen, Lord Wang, the sound of horses' hooves!" The cavalry of the Ming army has arrived! ”

When Wu Keshan heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and when he rushed out of the tent with Bart and a few nobles, he saw that the black cavalry of the Ming army had appeared on the empty wilderness in the south, just like the dark clouds of June swept in, and the big flag fluttering in front of the Ming army was not even three miles away from the Khan's court...... The Khan court of Ukshan is located on a high ground, the north, west and east sides are high cliffs, only the south side is a gentle slope, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which can be used by cavalry, at this time it is obviously too late to break through, because when they rush down the high ground, they just collide head-on with the Ming army, so they are not looking for their own death?

Now there is only one way to defend the Khan's court and wait for reinforcements.

"Quick!" Ukshan turned back and shouted to Bart, "Quickly push out all the carriages and fences in the Khan's court, block the road to the south, and never let the Ming cavalry rush up!" Then send someone to touch the cliff from the north, rush to the Thiramutun River as fast as possible, and let Tagar immediately lead troops to save the Khanting! ”

"Yes!"

Bart snapped into account and turned to go.

■■■

In front of the Ming army.

When Wang Puzheng was galloping on his horse, Lu Liu, who was holding a big flag behind him, suddenly shouted with difficulty: "General, look, the Mongol camp is on the mountain ahead!" ”

"Sulu Ingot Spear!" Scarface, who was on the other side of Wang Pu, also shouted, "There is a Sulu ingot spear on the top of the Mongol tent, general, it must be the Khan court of the Horqin Department in front!" ”

Sulu ingots!?

The symbol of the Mongol god of war!

Legend has it that wherever Genghis Khan's Sulu ingot spear pointed, all the Mongol cavalry would rush there, and a triumphant song would surely be played! Since Genghis Khan, only the descendants of the Golden Family have been eligible to have a Sulu ingot spear on the top of their tent as a sign of honor.

"Appeal ......"

Wang Pu Huoran raised his right arm and slowly drank the mount under his crotch.

Lu Liu, who was following closely behind Wang Pu, hurriedly raised the big flag in his hand high in the air, and shouted hoarsely: "The general has an order, the whole army stops advancing, stop advancing......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Seeing this, dozens of cavalry soldiers behind Lu Liu raised their horns and played them vigorously, and the low and distant sound of the horns resounded through the sky in an instant, and the Ming soldiers who were surging forward drank their respective mounts one after another, and slowly spread out towards the two wings under the guidance of the big flag in Lu Liu's hand.

In less than a moment, the advancing army came to a complete halt.

The bearded, scarface, Monk Zhang and Tang Sheng rode horses to Wang Pu, and Monk Zhang said loudly: "General, the two Mongols who were caught by us also said that this is really the Horqin Khan's court, and they also said that the terrain of the Horqin Khan's court is dangerous, and there are cliffs on the north, west, and east sides, and only the gentle slope in the south can go up." ”

Wang Pu squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, a hint of cunning suddenly flashed on his face, and he turned around and shouted, "Scarface!" ”

Scarface and Tang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Humble duty." ”

Wang Pu said: "Take a team of 1,000 people to the right woods to cut down trees and build more horses." ”

"What?" Scarface was stunned and said, "General, what are we going to do to reject the horse?" ”

"Less nonsense." Wang Pu shouted, "This is a military order, go quickly." ”

"Yes!"

Scarface was helpless and took the order.

Wang Pu said again: "Tang Sheng." ”

Tang Sheng hurriedly said: "Humble duty." ”

Wang Pu said: "Take a team of 1,000 people and dig more horse pits in front of the gentle slope in the south, and dig as chaotic as possible." ”

"Trapped?" Tang Sheng asked puzzledly, "General, there are not many Mongols on the mountain at all, they don't dare to rush down at all, what are they going to do by digging horse pits?" ”

Wang Pu shouted in a low voice: "This is a military order. ”

"Yes."

Tang Sheng answered and took the order.

Wang Pu said again: "Monk Zhang." ”

Monk Zhang hurriedly responded: "Humble duty. ”

Wang Pu said: "You take five hundred-strong troops to the mountainside, block the Mongols on the mountain, remember, without the general's military order, you are not allowed to attack without authorization." ”

"Yes."

Although Monk Zhang was puzzled, he still took the order.

Wang Pu said to Lu Liu: "Lu Liu, you send two hundred-man teams out of all directions for thirty miles to guard, if you find a large group of Mongolian cavalry approaching, you will fire arrows during the day and send rockets at night!" ”

"Yes."

Lu Liu also received the order.

Seeing that everyone else had a task, but he was fine, the bearded man couldn't help but be anxious, and asked Wang Pudao: "General, what should you do in that humble position?" ”
