PS: Thank you rabit2011 for your support, thank you for the monthly pass!

ps: My head hurt for two weeks, I slept at ten o'clock last night, slept until nine o'clock in the morning, and finally slept lazily, and my head didn't hurt anymore.

However, it was said that after Hu Guang and Liu Daneng converged, in the early morning of the next day, when they were about to send people to move forward to reconnoiter the position, a horse suddenly galloped from the south.

Needless to say, the people who came from that side must have been from a reconnaissance company or a battalion of cavalry, and there must have been something going on in such a hurry.

Hu Guang led Liu Daneng and the others to hurriedly greet him, worried in his heart, don't have any accidents, right?

The more you worry about something, the easier it is to come to something. That person was really a member of the reconnaissance company, and when he saw that Hu Guang was also there, he hurriedly came to him and saluted and said: "Report to the chief, I found that there are people from the Chahar Department returning from the west, and the platoon commander Kang Quanan thinks that they may know about our fight against Mei Dai Zhao, and they have been trying their best to intercept it, but the grassland is too big and the troops are too small, so I ask for troops to be sent to support!" ”

Hu Guang's face suddenly became grim, and he immediately asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"Fifteen people have been found so far." The man looked tired, but replied with a strong support. Obviously, he probably didn't sleep all night.

"Chief, I'll go!" Liu Daneng listened anxiously, and hurriedly asked Zhandao.

Those people probably slipped past in the night, and they and the reconnaissance company sent out to find out maybe they didn't find out. It was only when I returned that the expansion of the scope was discovered due to the increase in the number of inspectors.

As long as one of these people escapes back to Huacheng, then Lin Dan Khan will definitely send a large army to Meidai to summon to grab supplies. In any case, not only will it be impossible for the Heavenly Army to transport follow-up materials, but the soldiers walking on the grassland will also be likely to suffer heavy losses.

Hu Guang also thought of this consequence at once, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "Go quickly, even if you can't catch them." They must be stopped from returning to the city of naturalization. ”

Liu Daneng hurriedly saluted, and immediately turned around and beckoned his subordinates to set off with him. More than 100 horsemen quickly headed south and left in the dust.

Zhang Zhaodi, commander of the first battalion of the left-behind regiment, and Sun Yunxuan, commander of the artillery company, both looked at Hu Guang and waited for his order.

These people are not very good at riding, and they have to compete with those herdsmen born on the grassland, and engage in chases. This is a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and he can't do it. Because of this, neither of them asked for war just now.

Hu Guang sighed slightly in his heart, the grassland is not like the Central Plains, and it is enough to block a few major roads. The grassland is too big, and there are roads everywhere, so you can run anywhere. Moreover, the Chahar people are all herdsmen, and their riding skills cannot be worse than those on their side.

He turned around and ordered one of the guards beside him, "You go back to Captain Tana at once, and leave them time." It won't be much. Ordered her to speed up as soon as possible and pick up important and urgently needed materials in the base area to transport them first. In addition, it is necessary to be prepared, if the messenger is sent again, the materials can be discarded, and the personnel must be safely evacuated to the base area. ”

"Yes, Chief." The guard said yes, and immediately turned and left.

Hu Guang then looked at the two leaders, waved his hand and said, "Let's go." We moved forward so that we could see the movement on the high ground of the Naturalization City. ”

There is a distance of 100 miles from the base area to the Naturalization City. Hu Guang's current location was only in the middle, so it was only at noon that the troops arrived near Guihua City.

Soon found a piece of high ground, the men and horses rested on the concave surface to eat dry food, while Hu Guang and several other leaders crouched on the high ground and watched the movement of Guihua City with binoculars.

Counting it up, it is also a little credit to Bu Shitu. Because of his existence. The cattle and sheep of the Chahar Department did not dare to graze in the west of the naturalization city, so Hu Guang and the others came all the way, but they did not see any traces.

At this time, looking at the naturalization city from afar, it was blue, which later generations called it **. It means "blue city", which comes from the fact that its walls are made of blue bricks. The circumference is about two miles, three zhang high, and one door in the north and south.

Far east of Guihua City, you can see yurts and herds of cattle and sheep. Not far from the south gate, there is a big black river flowing through it, and a lot of farmland has been reclaimed on both banks. But now it is deserted, which is a pity.

Hu Guang estimated that it was probably because the Mongols could not farm, and the Han people who could farm either ran away or died when Lin Dan Khan attacked the city of Guihua, so these farmlands would be wasted.

His position at this time happened to be on the west side, and the north and south gates could be monitored. After looking at it for a while, I found that there were not many people in and out of the Naturalization City, and it seemed a bit depressed, and it didn't match the first city outside the Saiwai at all.

If those people had fled from the west, they would have taken the south gate. Because the north gate is close to the foot of Daqing Mountain, entering from the north gate must be along the foot of Daqing Mountain, which is impossible.

Seeing this, Hu Guang ordered Zhang Zhaodi to move south with her battalion, cutting off as many roads from the west to Guihua City as possible.

And he himself looked at the Naturalization City, thinking back to some information he had learned beforehand.

The city was built during the Altan Khan period, and there is also a silver Buddha temple in it. According to legend, Altan Khan spent a huge amount of silver to cast a huge statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, which was consecrated by the Dalai Lama III himself and enshrined in the temple. In this way, if the Bodhisattva of Meidai Zhao is made of clay, it will be too cheap.

The city of Naturalization is actually not large, it is mainly inhabited by Mongolian nobles, and ordinary herdsmen are not qualified. In addition to the defenders of the city, there were only about 500 cavalry standing in it. Of course, this is the previous information. In this extraordinary period, it would not be surprising that Lin Dan Khan would increase the number of standing cavalry.

Hu Guang watched and thought that if he concentrated the forces of the Heavenly Army and took advantage of the night to make a surprise attack, he would be able to capture Guihua City. However, the nearby tribes will definitely come to help, and if they are defeated, they will not be able to escape, which is not cost-effective. Unless you can block the two gates, you can wipe out the Mongol nobles in the city.

This idea was suddenly very tempting, so that compared with other forces on the grassland, the Heavenly Army was strong in attacking fortifications, and street fighting would not be bad. If you attack Guihua City, it is obviously advantageous.

But Hu Guang thought about it, forget it, Lin Dan Khan may be defenseless. Unless the strength of the Heavenly Army is doubled, and all the troops are here, maybe there will be a head start.

Time passed slowly, whether it was on his side or on the side of Naturalization City, there was no movement.

When the sun was setting and it was approaching evening, there was a sudden movement.

Hu Guang hurriedly turned his head to look west, only to see a few horsemen fleeing in the distance, followed by a large number of pursuers. The difference is a stone's throw away, and it can't catch up.

Fuck, what's going on? Hu Guang couldn't help but scold his mother. You don't need to look closer, you can know that the people who escaped must be from the Chahar tribe, and those who are chasing are either Liu Daneng or the people of the reconnaissance company.

Zhang Zhaodi's battalion also moved, and went to intercept the two horsemen from the front. Hu Guang hurriedly used a telescope to observe, look at the chase battle, and then look at Guihua City. (To be continued......)
