A Mongolian nobleman named Saqi Ronggui said casually: "Guiyingcha, you are too worried. Even if Mo Yuegen didn't think of us before, it's not too late to think of us now. Anyway, what we have to deal with is Xu Xingxia. Our goals are the same, and it's not too late for us to send troops. Isn't it more important for us to ask for help now? ”

Gui Yingcha frowned and said, "I'm worried that we have been used by Mo Yuegen. He may have fought the White Army, but the battle situation was very unfavorable, and he remembered to ask us for help. If we go rashly, not only will we not be able to hit Xu Xingxia, but we may also suffer from Xu Xingxia's plot. Ladies and gentlemen, we set off from Guihua City and headed to Ningxia Town, but it is thousands of miles away! Wouldn't it be troublesome if something happened along the way? ”

Saqi Ronggui said disapprehantly: "What's the trouble with this? I dare to say that the main force of the white-clothed army must be fighting against Mo Yuegen with all their might. Mo Yuegen went south this time, there were 50,000 people, and there were covering troops on the flanks. How many soldiers are there in white? If they didn't mobilize their whole army, it would be impossible to confront Mo Yuegen. ”

Gui Yingcha frowned and said, "The question now is not how many white-clothed troops there are, but how many of their muskets there are. The musketeers of the White Army, who did not need much time to train at all, could go to the battlefield. Even if we set off from Naturalization City and Xu Xingxia only learned the news, he would have enough time to prepare. As long as he gathers the strong men and equips everyone with muskets, we will not be able to conquer Zhenyuan Pass at all. ”

Saqi Ronggui was also a fierce general of the Mongols, and his fame was only after that of Taichiu. The relationship between the two is also very good, and they often learn combat skills together. After his death, he has been trying to avenge his revenge. This time, Lin Dan Khan tried to send troops to Ningxia Town, and he was absolutely in favor of it. He swore that after arriving in Ningxia Town, he would turn it into a white land in order to pay tribute to Tai Chiwu's spirit in the sky. However, Gui Yingcha opposed sending troops, and he was immediately annoyed.

Under the great anger, Saqi Ronggui couldn't help but scold: "Gui Yingcha, are you scared by the Han dog?" If you don't dare to go to war, you can take charge of guarding the Naturalization City. ”

Guiying was immediately annoyed, pointed at Sa Qironggui and scolded: "Do you have a kind of saying it again? ”

Saqi Ronggui said angrily: "Did I say something wrong? We are all in favor of sending troops, only you are against it, what are you not cowardly? King Khan, I insist on going to war! I want to flatten Ningxia Town! Those who dare not go should hide behind and hold their children! ”

Gui Yingcha and Saqi Ronggui quarreled, and the other Mongolian nobles were secretly thinking. By and large, they were inclined to send troops. This is indeed a good opportunity to send troops. If the town of Ningxia was occupied by Mo Yuegen, there would be nothing to do with the Mongols. It is even possible that after Mo Yuegen occupies Ningxia Town, he will continue to occupy the Bayannur grassland, posing a mortal threat to the western side of the Mongols. Mo Yuegen, this guy is still very insidious.

However, Gui Yingcha's words did get to the point. Anyone with a little bit of brains can sense that something is wrong. If Mo Yuegen hadn't suffered a big loss at the hands of Xu Xingxia, with his surname, how could he suddenly remember to invite Lin Dan Khan to attack Ningxia Town? If there are no accidents, you will give it to someone else?

Lin Danhan stretched out his hand to ask Gui Yingcha and Saqi Ronggui not to continue arguing, and said in a deep voice: "Then Song, you go and ask them, when did you set off?" Where did you get from? In addition, I cleverly asked them if they were having trouble attacking them. ”

Na Yue Song agreed. After a while, he came back and said, "Aduosu said that they set off from Ganzhou City. As soon as the Tatars took the city of Ganzhou, they set off with a letter from Mo Yuegen. Hindered by the cavalry of the White Army along the way, it took them a long time on the road to get here. ”

After a slight pause, Na Yuesong said again: "Aduosu said again that when they attacked Gansu Town, they did encounter some difficulties. None of these difficulties, however, were combative. It's from other sources. Among them, the biggest difficulty is the lack of food. He privately admitted that Mo Yuegen did want to get some food subsidies from us. He was worried that Xu Xingxia would destroy everything in Ningxia Town when he was so angry. The implementation of the white-clothed army was very thorough. I guess everyone can understand this. ”

Lin Danhan did not suspect that there was fraud, and nodded slowly. Indeed, Mo Yuegen's worries are very reasonable. In case Xu Xingxia is really angry and desperate, he will really destroy everything in Ningxia Town. Maybe others can't do it, but Xu Xingxia definitely can do it. They had all fought against Xu Xingxia and knew that he was a very difficult guy to deal with. Most of these guys are psychopathic, and when the situation is unfavorable, the tendency to self-destruction is very serious.

Mo Yuegen reserved a hand, also to prevent accidents. After all, tens of thousands of troops, if there is not enough food, it is still more troublesome. In his handwritten letter, he did vaguely mention that the biggest trouble is food. And Lin Dan Khan just got a lot of grain from the Ming Kingdom, which happened to come in handy.

Gui Yingcha subconsciously felt that something was wrong. However, it is impossible to say whether it is wrong in the end. The other Mongol nobles were completely convinced of such a reason. They never imagined that Mo Yuegen had a reason to deceive them. With Mo Yuegen's identity, there seems to be no need to deceive them. Anyway, others are also quite figures, and their reputation is not under Lin Dan Khan.

Na Yuesong finally concluded: "In any case, Mo Yuegen dragged the main force of Xu Xingxia's army to Gansu Town, which is very beneficial to us. It's a fleeting achievement, and if we don't catch it right away, I'm afraid we'll miss it. If we occupy Ningxia Town first, it is estimated that Mo Yuegen will have nothing to say. ”

The others nodded their heads in agreement. Yes, with Mo Yuegen dragging Xu Xingxia, the Mongols attacked Ningxia Town this time, and the chances of success must be much greater than last time. If the Mongols succeed in one fell swoop, Xu Xingxia will be completely finished.

Due to the long distance and the difficulty of news transmission, no one in Guihua City knew that Mo Yuegen had evacuated Gansu Town, prepared to cross the Tengger Desert, and set off for Zhenyuan Pass. They also thought that the battle in Gansu Town was still raging. Since the battle is still raging, the main force of the white-clothed army must be in the territory of Gansu Town, and it is impossible to return to Ningxia Town.

Over the years, the name of the arrow god Mo Yuegen has indeed been quite bluffing. All the Mongol nobles present, including Gui Yingcha, believed that the battle between Mo Yuegen and the White Clothes Army would definitely contain the main force of the White Clothes Army in Gansu Town. What Gui Yingcha is worried about is also the follow-up troops of the White Clothes Army, or the combat effectiveness of the reserve soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of the army under Mo Yuegen was completely different from that of the Ming army. Xu Xingxia dared to transfer all the main forces of the southern front to the prairie, but he saw the Ming army on the southern front and did not dare to continue the attack. However, in front of Mo Yuegen, Xu Xingxia would never dare to do this. In the face of Mo Yuegen's tens of thousands of troops, if Xu Xingxia did not send an army of more than 15,000 people, it would be impossible to stop it. Fifteen thousand people are definitely the main force of the white-clothed army.

In other words, after the main force was transferred to Gansu Town, Xu Xingxia did not have many troops in his hands. The strength of Ningxia Town is absolutely empty. In the face of the Mongol attack, the only thing the White Army could do was to mobilize the strong men to fight. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the strong men cannot be as strong as the main force. Therefore, even if Zhenyuan Pass is a little difficult, as long as you pay a certain price, you can take it down. Mo Yuegen had already mentioned that he would send someone to help open the gates of Zhenyuan Pass. The Mongols only had to be responsible for breaking into Ningxia Town, burning, killing and looting.

"Then Song, order the second echelon to set off!" Lin Danhan said in a deep voice.

"Order!" Na Yue Song immediately went excitedly.

"Saqi Ronggui, you serve as a striker in the second echelon." Lin Dan Khan said again.

"Order!" Saqi Ronggui also went excitedly.

Guiying just wanted to speak and stopped. Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was in high spirits and began to arrange his troops in high spirits, he always felt that this matter was not so simple. However, for a while, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. Now that Lin Dan Khan had made up his mind, he had no choice but to shake his spirits and take the personal guards and cavalry to accompany Lin Dan Khan on his departure.

In mid-November, Lin Dan Khan's army, starting from the city of Guihua, marched westward. In addition to the forward troops, this time, Lin Dan Khan's army was more than 50,000 people. It could almost be said that it was poured out of the nest. A new battle has begun.

…… When Lin Dan Khan convened his cronies to discuss the matter, Xu Xingxia was also convening his cronies to hold a military meeting. The meeting took place in the Black Mountain camp. As the situation in the north gradually became tense, Xu Xingxia began to command the Black Mountain battalion. The main forces of the White Army were assembled in the Black Mountain Battalion one after another. However, in order to keep it secret and confuse Lin Dan Khan, strict vigilance was implemented around the barracks of the Black Mountain Battalion, and it was claimed to be recruit training to the outside world.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Qinian first reported on the relevant situation. Wang Qinian said in an orderly manner: "According to Xuan Yingwei's frontline observations, Lin Dan Khan's forward troops have already left Guihua City in early November. It was a full troop of 10,000 men, consisting of twelve thousands. It is estimated that its total strength is about 15,000 people. ”

"Lin Dan Khan's follow-up troops should be about fifty thousand troops, and the total strength is about sixty thousand. In addition to these 60,000 people, there were also some slaves, who carried simple siege weapons. Due to the tight protection of the Mongols, it is not known what kind of siege weapons they were. Presumably, it should be a return gun. The number may be around fifty. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the various members of the Central Military Commission who attended the meeting were a little serious. It is not surprising that Lin Dan Khan poured out of the nest. Strangely, he actually carried a return cannon. It can be seen that this guy is iron-hearted and wants to deal with Zhenyuanguan. The paralyzed, I really thought that the white-clothed army was easy to bully, and dozens of return artillery dared to attack Zhenyuan Pass.

Wang Qinian continued: "In addition, there is a special piece of information that needs to be reported. Even the Harasan tribe of the Mongols also sent twenty thousand troops to participate in the battle, with a total strength of about 25,000 people. The leader of the team was Esgen, the eldest son of the Khan of the Harasan tribe. It is said that this kid knows how to fight very well, and Lin Dan Khan also values him very much. ”

Zhang Tianhao frowned and said, "Sure enough, I got mixed up with the people of the imperial court." ”

The so-called Harashen tribe is actually the Duoyan Wei in the original Duoyan Sanwei. Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, conquered the desert that year, and set up Duoyan, Taining, and = Fuyu Sanwei in the north and south of the vast desert, in order to divide the internal forces of the Mongols. In the following decades, the relationship between Duoyan Sanwei and the Ming court has always been good. However, as the strength of the Ming court continued to weaken, Duoyan Sanwei also began to waver, often breaking away from the control of the Ming dynasty.

Among them, the closest to the Ming Dynasty is Duoyanwei, which is now the Harashen tribe. In the past, the Harashen tribe had rarely participated in battles and disputes, and lived in obscurity. Now, even Duo Yanwei has sent troops to the war, which can only explain two problems. Or, the imperial court has indeed joined forces with Lin Dan Khan. Or, it's that Duo Yanwei is completely out of control. If it's the second, it's not a big problem. If it's the first one, the problem is serious.

The imperial court and Lin Dan Khan have joined forces, which is not news. The point is that the imperial court actually wants to borrow a knife to kill people. Even if it wasn't Emperor Wanli's intention, someone must be behind it. The targets they killed were not only Xu Xingxia, but also Lin Dan Khan and the Harashen tribe. These three people, no matter who died, it was the Ming Dynasty who took advantage. It's even better if all three lose, or if they all end up together. I have to say that the calculations of the people in the court are indeed too powerful. It's very insidious.

Xia Kewu said intentionally or unintentionally: "If Mo Yuegen also comes to intervene and merge with Lin Danhan, then Ningxia Town will be really lively......

Wang Qinian was about to speak, when the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, but an owl quietly came in. He handed a piece of information to Wang Qinian, and after Wang Qinian read it, he handed it to Xu Xingxia. After Xu Xingxia read the information, he handed it back to Wang Qinian. He glanced at Xia Kewu by the way, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you guessed right, Mo Yuegen's forward troops have passed through the Tengger Desert and appeared in Zhenyuan Pass. ”

Xia Kewu's expression suddenly froze. The expressions of the other committee members were also a little strange. Everyone, you look at me, I look at yours, they all think it's very weird. Xia Kewu said it so casually, and actually guessed Mo Yuegen's whereabouts?

Liu Heng frowned and said, "This Mo Yuegen's speed is so fast. ”

Zhang Feng could see it, and said with a smile: "The Tatars have to pay a little price when they cross the Tengger Desert, and they have to shed their skin if they don't die." ”

Gao Meng looked at Lin Dacheng next to him, and said happily: "This time, the vicinity of Zhenyuan Pass is lively. Lao Lin, your courage is heavy. ”

Lin Dacheng, who was in charge of guarding the far pass of the town, said angrily: "I'm not afraid." No number of people are afraid. If they dare to come, I will dare to bombard him with cannons. The latest red-coated cannon, I haven't seen it with my own eyes. ”

Xu Xingxia said decisively: "Go!" Let's go to Zhenyuan Pass! ”
