To be able to sit down peacefully when the war is raging hundreds of miles away, only a person whose heart is as calm as water, or whose heart is as hard as iron can do it.

From time to time, Li Hujun's scouts returned to Yulin to report on the military situation.

At midnight today, Ezhe led the Chahar army to raid the Modong Mongol military camp at Junzijin Ferry, and the battle lasted until mid-afternoon, when Chahar gradually lost its support and retreated to the west bank of the Hetao.

According to the mouth of the scout, the battle was very tragic, and the Chahar made a heroic assault and suffered a lot of losses.

Zuo Ruo sat peacefully in the house, and he didn't even go to the city to inspect it. How can there be no dead in a war, not to mention, it is the Mongols who die. He didn't even have the good faith to expect the Chahars to die a little more.

By the time of Shen, the sun had turned over the western horizon, and the color had changed from orange to yellow at noon.

A group of more than 20 Han cavalry came from the Gobi to the direction of Yulinwei.

After leaving last night, Li Hu never came back, and the leader of this team of scouts was a thousand generals.

The defenders outside Yulin had been closely monitoring movements in the direction of the desert. However, there are 3,000 cavalry patrolling outside the city, and it is impossible for the Mongols in Modong to kill the city quietly.

After entering the city, Mr. Qian was immediately taken to Zuo Ruo's house.

"General, the Modong people are here" The general Qian knelt down after entering the door, and said with a solemn expression: "More than an hour ago, more than a thousand Modong Mongolian cavalry entered the Silver Pebble Beach and marched in the direction of Yulinwei, and Vice General Li led his troops to ambush them. ”

Zuo Ruo asked: "Did Li Hu pursue?" ”

"Vice General Li led the army to pursue all the way into the grassland and cut two hundred."

Zuo Ruo groaned slightly, and said: "You go back and give an order, so that Li Hu is not in a hurry to return, and lead the army to ambush at the junction of the desert and the grassland, as long as the Modong people do not send a large army over, they will stop and defeat the small group of cavalry."

Mr. Qian clenched his fists: "Obey" He thought for a while and added: "The Modong Mongol army went all the way west to pursue the Chahar people, and for the time being, I am afraid that there will be no army to attack Yulinwei." ”

Zuo Ruo said: "If the Modong people didn't send a large army over before dark, ordered Li Hu to kill into the grassland, and made a posture of wanting to contain the Modong army, you can engage the Modong people, but you can't fall into a bitter fight." ”

"Obey" Mr. Qian got up and left.

The sun is about to set, the light is about to pass, and the darkness is coming.

The Ming army's foot soldiers walked out of the dilapidated city gate of Yulinwei, and Zuo Ruo urged the horse to walk in the middle of the queue.

Yulinwei's gate was too low, and when he went out, he rode on horseback and felt that he could reach the door beam on his head. Twenty years after he left the city, the gate never seemed to have been repaired.

"When I come to my senses, I must rebuild Yulinwei and recover the Hetao" Zuo Ruo secretly made up his mind. He was the governor of Shaanxi, and he had the right to build the Yulin Wei border pass, but the matter of recovering the Hetao must be supported by the regent.

After the Ming army left Yulin Wei, they lined up in three neat phalanxes on the open stone ground in front of the guard, each with 3,000 people, each equipped with 600 cavalry.

The phalanx was followed by a baggage battalion guarded by a thousand soldiers, where there were more than 300 wagons.

Zuo Ruojun did not have a fixed baggage battalion, because he could not recruit the people for labor because of this trip of thousands of miles, so he specially dispatched soldiers and horses from each battalion to escort materials. The soldiers of these baggage battalions are also good at going to the battlefield.

The 700 Mongolian cavalry left behind in Yulin Wei were temporarily recruited by Zuo Ruo as scouts, and tonight Yulin Wei will really become an empty city.

Without waiting for dark, with Zuo Ruo's order, the soldiers of the Ming army, who had been recuperating for a day and a night, moved towards the direction of the desert.

Nearly 10,000 pairs of leather boots made a "click" sound when stepping on the gravel, and the fast cadence of the soldiers occasionally brought up a rolling pebble.

The sun sinks under the sand dunes to the west, and the moon in mid-air emerges, emitting a cold light.

It is said that the desert is very hot during the day and very cold at night. However, on such a fast march, I am afraid that no one will feel cold.

Zuo Ruo rode on horseback and walked in the first third of the procession. Every once in a while, cavalry would appear in the darkness to report on the situation, including Chahar scouts and messengers from Li Hu's army.

Judging from the news obtained so far, the people of Modong have not focused on the direction of Yulinwei for the time being. The 1,000 cavalry they sent during the day was precisely to explore the way

The army marched all night without stopping to rest, and it took them three nights and two days to reach the Junzijin ferry. Zuo Ruo chose a northward road not far from the Yellow River, and on the first day, they passed through the hills and mountains, and they could still hide their whereabouts. During the day of the next day, they had to cross the grassland, and the scouts of the Modong people were very likely to appear on them.

Zuo Ruo put half of his hope for success on Chahar and Li Hu, and the other half ......? He handed it over to the Immortal Heaven.

Li Hu pulled his bow and arrows, and when the bowstring was loose, a Mongol fell off his horse.

He pulled out the Qi knife on his waist and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Rush forward and kill them all"

After a day and night of fierce fighting, Li Hu didn't feel tired at all, and the blood made him unable to suppress the passion in his chest. On the horse's buttocks hung a string of human ears threaded with straw ropes, which was the result of his battle, which could be used not only to show off, but also to exchange for silver.

More than 1,000 cavalry in the eastern part of the desert fled, this was the second cavalry that Li Hu defeated the second cavalry, he marched from night to mid-morning, only to meet this lonely cavalry in the depths of the grassland.

In the early morning, Ezhe's scouts sent news that the Chahar army had fought fiercely with the Modong people all night, and they had fought and retreated, luring the Modong people to the west of the Hetao.

Seeing that the Modong people were fleeing faster and faster, and fleeing farther and farther, Li Hu reined in his war horse and ordered: "Poor Kou Mo chase, it's almost over"

His cavalry fought with the Jurchens in Longxi, and was the first cavalry in the Ming army to be equipped with chain armor and Qi knives.

A group of Mongol cavalrymen dismounted and came to the horses lying on the grass wounded by bows and arrows, drew their swords and bleed the horses, and then skinned and cut the flesh. The Mongols could eat horse meat raw, and there were 200 Han cavalry in Li Hu's army, most of whom could not open this mouth, and could only eat the Yu cakes they carried with them.

Li Hu gritted his teeth and cut off a piece of bloody meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it in his stomach. He felt that it was okay, and turned to the Han people with a straight face and ordered: "You guys, everyone come and eat a piece of horse meat, this is an order"

The soldiers also need to continue to run in the grassland, and it is especially important to maintain sufficient physical fitness.

Zuo Ruo's army commanded strictly, and the Han soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, grinning and swallowing a piece of raw meat each.

After resting for half an hour, Li Hu led his army to continue northward, and they also marched in the direction of Junzijin Ferry. The cavalry marched much faster than the two-legged foot soldiers, but they did not move forward with all their might.

In the army, the Mongols constantly introduced Li Hu to the terrain along the way.

Originally, they could still see some scouts peeping secretly along the way, but in the afternoon, the scouts on Li Hu's current army route disappeared from Yu Jingjing. In the evening, he found a high slope to set up camp and ordered the army to be stationed and ready to camp.

Hetao said that it is not big, but it is not small, it is difficult for thousands of cavalry to hide their whereabouts here, and the Modong people should be mobilizing troops and horses to prepare to besiege him.

Li Hu is very cunning.

He showed his strength in two battles, and if the Mongols wanted to ensure their defeat of him, they had to mobilize at least 5,000 cavalry. If the Modong people had to leave another 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Junzijin Ferry, then the main army of Kupilon would no longer have such an obvious advantage in front of Ezhe.

Chahar fought for life and death, and the Modong people fought for the wealth bestowed by the Manchu court. Their opponent was the descendant of the Golden Family, the Great Khan of the Mongols

At the end of the day, it was a war between the Mongols.

Li Hu sits on the top of the grassy slope and admires the sunset over the grassland.

Raw horse meat is not delicious, but the land here is very fertile, and the scenery is also very beautiful, he heard the Admiral mention that this grassland must return to the Ming Dynasty.

What will Copirone do now? It should be able to bite the Chahars who have already shown their defeats, and they will no longer be stupid to divide their troops. If the Admiral did not lead the main force of the Ming army into the Hetao, this would have been a perfect decision. Lord Admiral is really ruthless, and he must destroy the entire army killed by the Modong people.

3,000 cavalry spent the night peacefully between the Mongol camp in Modong and the Junzijin ferry. Li Hu had a dream at night, he dreamed that the Modong cavalry attacked the camp at night, and he led the army to resist.

Early in the morning, he rubbed his red eyes, nibbled a piece of cake, and led three thousand cavalry to kill the Qing army camp at the Junzijin Ferry.

The cavalry marched until the afternoon, and never met the Modong cavalry who came to intercept it.

Before long, Li Hu saw a continuous pile of white tents on the bank of the Yellow River, and a group of cavalry in front of the camp.

Li Hu reined in the war horse and scolded in his mouth: "Is this what you want Lao Tzu to attack your camp?" I'm not that stupid."

He didn't know how many people the Modong Mongols had left to guard the camp, he had ambushed the Modong cavalry who had gone to Yulinwei to spy on the grassland the day before yesterday, and he should have felt the threat from Yulinwei.

Three thousand cavalry patrolled around the camp within a radius of more than ten miles, and the defenders in the camp were waiting for them.

Before Zuo Ruo arrived, Li Hu was not ready to attack. But after watching for half an hour, he felt itchy in his heart, and led the cavalry to rush to the camp of the Modong people, and saw the Modong people rushing into battle to defend, he laughed like a prank on the way, and led the army to retreat to the southeast.

The attention of the Modong people who stayed behind was all attracted by this small number of cavalry, and they did not expect that the Ming army infantry was still more than sixty miles away from the Junzijin Ferry.

In the camp, Saisan's younger brother Wuri is even more stable. If you don't act rashly, you won't show flaws.

The cavalry that appeared outside the camp had decent combat effectiveness, but it was also poor in donkey skills. As long as Suppilon and his brother defeat the Chahars completely, the conclusion will be a foregone conclusion.

When he was secretly proud, he "reported" a scout cavalry galloped into the camp, panting and dismounted in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, rushed into the tent and knelt in front of Wu Rigen ** and shouted: "The Ming army of the southern brigade is now"

The Modong Army scouts had been monitoring Li Hujun's movements, and he was still a patrol that came back a little later, and now Zuo Ruo's whereabouts.
