Li Xin pacified the rescued prisoners of the guards, and ordered the soldiers to carry out a simple treatment of the wounded, the lightly injured were okay, and the seriously injured could only resign themselves to fate, and finally let them support each other and leave on their own.

According to the situation of the hostile Han cavalry found here, it is speculated that Wu Sangui was also within a radius of dozens of miles, so the hostility that Li Xin could feel since entering the Xuanfu can also be explained. It's just that he doesn't understand that he and Wu Sangui have never fought head-to-head, so why does this thing regard him as a thorn in the eye?

"Report! Ten miles downstream, Tatar cavalry found! ”

The ranger flew to report, Li Xin was startled, and hurriedly confirmed.

"Are you sure it's not Han cavalry?"

"It's definitely not Han, it's all braided hair, I'm sure the Mongols are undoubted!"

Li Xin had a feeling that he had never been able to find the whereabouts of the Tartar soldiers, not because the Tartars were too cunning, but because the Three Guards had taken the wrong path. They went out of Juyong Pass, and after passing Huailai, they went all the way to the south, and at this time the main force of the Tartar soldiers should have stopped at a superficial level, and retreated all the way north to the area of the Nanhe.

The cavalry battalion immediately galloped downstream along the South River, and saw that the Tartar procession stretched for several miles, and it was full of goods, people, and livestock. At this time, there was no need for Li Xin to give an order, and the cavalry battalion suddenly split into two roads, drew an arc to the south, and went straight to the waist of the human and animal team.

Soon, the Mongols discovered the cavalry of the Ming army, and the sound of whistles was incessant, and the escorted human and animal teams immediately fell into chaos, and the cries of women and children, and the frightened screams of cattle and sheep were suddenly stirred up.

Small groups of Mongol horsemen poured in from all directions, and in a moment they suddenly converged like streams into a terrifying river, brandishing scimitars and screaming strangely, heading straight for the cavalry battalion.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu made two more short and rhythmic whistles, and the cavalry battalion, which had already been divided into two groups, immediately gathered together again, and then turned to run westward. Although the cavalry battalion of the Three Guards Army is also a battle formation, it is not a little worse than the Mongols who have grown up on horseback since childhood. Therefore, in a duel with the Mongol cavalry, they did not have the slightest advantage, so it was better to use their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

The immediate task now is to contain the Mongols, wait for the infantry battalion to arrive, and give them the task of destroying the enemy.

The Mongol cavalry seemed to be extremely cautious, perhaps because of the lack of strength due to the lack of strength in their troops, and the cavalry battalion pulled away from them and did not pursue, but only cautiously watched the nearest place.

Li Xin found a soldier in the cavalry camp who was familiar with the Mongols, and asked him to identify which tribe this group belonged to.

Unexpectedly, the soldier exclaimed: "General, our Three Guards have fought with these Tartars!" ”

Li Xin was also surprised, since the Three Guards Army became an army, it has only fought with the Mongol Tartars twice, one is in Yang Hewei and the Han Department of a battle, and the battle is slashed. On the other occasion, he fought against the Tumut tribe outside the checkpoint of Chaoyangbao, where he participated in their plot to seize the throne and helped Batu kill his brother.

But I don't know whether the Mongols in front of me are the Han tribe or the Tumut department?

Soon, the answer was revealed, and a Mongolian tribal nobleman, dressed in Ming army-style scaly iron armor, ran to the front of the battle and shouted.

"Is it General Li, the chief soldier of the Three Guards, in front?"

Obviously, the news of this group of Mongols is relatively lagging behind, and it is not clear that Li Xin has been officially appointed by the imperial court at this time as the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, and hangs the seal of the former general of the western army.

"The deceased is here, please come and talk about it!"

Li Xinyuan only felt that this person had a good face, but he didn't remember who it was for a while, or the soldiers around him had a good memory.

"Isn't this guy Batu we captured?"

Batuu? Li Xin suddenly, in a battle with the Tumut Department outside Chaoyang Fort, the Three Guards had helped Batu kill Haydn, who was in power at the time, and he turned over and became the leader of the tribe, remembering that at that time, this person swore that he would always be the most loyal servant of the chief soldier, and only half a year had passed, and he threw the oath he had made into the clouds.

Before Li Xin could express his position, the soldiers around him were already angry, and scolded angrily: "Nabatu, the treacherous villain, who knelt at the feet of our generals in the first place, and kept saying that he wanted to be the most loyal slave?" ”

The Mongolian nobles on that horse were the new generation of Khan King Batu of the Tumut Ministry, and I saw Batu sneering on his face, "At this time and that time, now my Tumut troops are strong and strong, and your generals are outnumbered, I am afraid that the master and servant will be transposed, but I have always been a bodhisattva, but this time I am not specifically embarrassed by General Li, but I am ready to make a deal with the general, I don't know if I am willing to appreciate my face?" ”

Li Xinxin said, this Batu not only has a great increase in aura, but even his Chinese has improved day by day compared to the first time they met, it seems that he still underestimated him at the beginning. So he took a step forward, "The court of the Ming Dynasty has never traded with the Tartars, don't you know?" ”

Batu laughed: "Batu is not here to make a deal with the Ming Dynasty, so he is naturally not allowed to know, how?" Will General Li be willing to make a deal with us? ”

Li Xin categorically refused, "There is no deal to do between you and me, only you live and die." ”

"General, don't be in a hurry to refuse, you roared and ran all over the Xuanfu, aren't you in a hurry to find your subordinates?"

Li Xin's face changed suddenly, could it be that the auxiliary soldiers and the county lord were actually taken away by him? If so...... Only to hear Batu continue: "That's right! Your thousands of troops are in the hands of my Batu, as long as General Li dodges the road in front of me and let my team of people, animals and goods pass, those people can naturally return to the general with no less than a single hair. ”

Batu thinks that this condition is already very good, and he does not have to pay a penny, and he does not have to do other difficult things that are difficult to do.

Li Xin looked at the team of people and animals miles away in front of him, not to mention the livestock property, there were tens of thousands of women and children in the team, once he got out of the side wall, it was equivalent to stepping into the tiger's mouth wolf pack, let him return his subordinates with these living people, how could he be so ruthless?

With this kind of thought, Li Xin's mind was firm, since he couldn't make a deal with Batu with his conscience, there was only one way left for the Three Guards, fight! I don't know where the infantry battalion is now......

Li Xin decided to deal with him first, "How does Ben Shuai know if what you say is true or false?" ”

As soon as Batu saw Li Xin's loose mouth, he immediately thought that he had a plan, so he waved behind him, and then several Mongolian Tartars escorted out a man with a big tie, who was actually Zhu Mei, the chief soldier of Baoding!

"General Zhu?"

Li Xin lost his color, Zhu Mei has been acting with the auxiliary soldiers of the Three Guards Army since he was saved, since Batu has this person in his hands, his more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers and the lord of King Jin are also in his control. Looking at Zhu Mei's body with blood in a big tie, I don't know where she was injured, she struggled desperately, but she was held down and couldn't move a bit, and her mouth was stuffed with rags when she wanted to speak.

"How? Believe it! ”

Batu looked proud, ready to discuss the details of the transaction with Li Xin in front of him, he made a lot of money in this transaction, although this time the harvest was not as rich as the Uzhumuqin Department, but it was also a small gain, relying on these materials to survive the turn of spring and summer, not to mention the replenishment of tens of thousands of people and livestock, especially thousands of women in the Southern Dynasty, which played a pivotal role in the population reproduction of the Tumut Department.

After some bargaining, the soldiers told Li Xin that the infantry battalion had reached three miles away from Nanhe and could participate in the battle at any time.

Li was confident and pointed to the south for Batu to see.

"Look at the South, what is that?"

Batu looked at it and couldn't help but gasp, only to see a Ming infantry with a battle line stretching for miles.

According to the battle line of this width, there must be at least more than 30,000 infantry, Batu did not know that there were three guards in front of him, they only lined up three rows in depth this time, and their faces were as frightened as dirt.

"This, this, you, you, you, you ......"

Pointing at Li Xin speechless, he wanted to ask, didn't he say that he was going to make a deal, why did he still betray his word when things came to an end......

But how could Batu have the face to scold Li Xin for his treachery, only listening to the rumbling cannons one after another, and wanting to question Li Xin a few words, he couldn't even say anything between his mouth opened and closed.

Li Xin gave him an ultimatum, "Batu, there is only one path you can choose now, that is, unconditionally lay down your arms, release my people of the Ming Dynasty, and then ask for mercy and forgiveness!" ”

……

Longmen Chuan, Wu Sangui and the others were anxious, and Luosang Gyaltsen said that the Mongolian infantry he sent out could lead Li Xin's men and horses here at noon, but now that the sun is turning west, it is about to go down, so why is there no movement. Could it be something else? He began to regret that such an important matter could be handed over to the fool of Lobsang Gyaltsen, but his subordinates were all Han Chinese, and it was difficult to protect himself from being exposed by others by pretending to be Mongols, which was also a helpless move.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves at the mouth of the valley was thunderous, and the voices of people were boiling.

The scouts rushed to the scene and shouted excitedly: "Coming, coming, the Mongols are coming!" ”

A big stone in Wu Sangui's heart finally landed, in addition to the horse's hooves knocking on the ground, there was also a faint sound of musket salvo at the mouth of the valley, which was a typical sign of the battle of the Three Guards, although he had never fought head-on with it, but he had studied the combat characteristics of the army under Li Xin quite thoroughly.

Listening to the sound of the Mongolian infantry cavalry fighting and retreating, it seems that this great lama Luosang Gyaltsen still has some ability, and he can lead the Three Guards here without hurry, which is a rather troublesome thing in itself.

Wu Sangui judged the time and gave a resolute order.

"Let's spread the fireworks, dig the hole and release the water in a moment!"

The scouts were stunned for a moment, and a moment later, the armies of both sides could all enter the Longmen River, and the water was surging for another moment, and even the Mongols could be drowned......

"The Mongols...... Don't wait for them to evacuate ......? ”

Wu Sangui said coldly: "When they are ready, the Three Guards are also ready, let them go to the Netherworld Mansion together!" ”

"His Holiness Lobsang Gyaltsen'......"

"Fire and water are ruthless, it's a fact, so what can a fool do?"
