Now the ruler of Ningxia is the Western Xia cowardly Xue army, and Gu Lunmu, the head of ten thousand households, led 10,000 elite cowardly Xue troops and 30,000 new annexed troops to defeat the Hui coalition army and occupy this land with abundant water and grass.

When there was a rebellion in the Western Xia, the Western Xia army in Shaanxi had retreated to the front line of Gansu because of the excessive pressure it was facing, and the Western Xia army in the Hetao area not only did not retreat, but increased by 10,000 troops, because this is the production area of the three rivers and good horses, and mastering this place is equivalent to mastering the source of powerful cavalry, Gu Lunmu already has 50,000 troops under his command, plus the total number of men and horses forcibly recruited from the local herdsmen is close to 80,000, claiming 100,000 people to the outside world.

According to the description of the Western Xia army that fled back from Shaanxi, the Ming army used a large number of firearms, and the will to fight was strong, and the Western Xia upper echelons attached great importance to it, so they adopted a steady strategy, focusing on defense, and then slowly stabilized the rear, and then slowly Tuzhi Gu Lunmu received the order to stick to the Hetao area to ensure the transportation of war horses to the country.

It is normal for those sparse new annexed armies to be defeated by the Ming army, and it is just an excuse to say that the firearms are sharp. Gu Lunmu said this to his subordinates. In the face of the powerful cowardly Xue army cavalry, even if the people of the Central Plains are combined, they are not opponents, in Gu Lunmu's mind, the cowardly Xue army is the most powerful army in the world, with an iron will and an iron body, they can fight continuously for seven days and seven nights without dismounting, without any provisions, and drive thousands of miles to attack, even if it is the vast desert Gobi, they are not afraid of such a strong combat effectiveness and strong mobility army, try to see who can be the enemy in the world?

Gu Lunmu's pride is not without reason, since he followed His Majesty Galdan to raise troops, after hundreds of battles without a defeat, fought all over the Tianshan Mountains, conquered countless countries, killed thousands of men, snatched women, and countless, just say that the recent campaign to conquer the Hetao region, the warriors of the Hui are indeed brave and good at fighting, in Gu Lunmu's words, they can almost catch up with their cowardly Xue army, but in the face of the iron hooves of the powerful Western Xia army, it only held a battle, when Gu Lunmu personally beheaded the old Hoxha in the battle and lifted it high, the Hui coalition army still collapsed, the only regret is that the daughter of the old Hoxha was not captured。 I heard that the girl whose body can produce a strange fragrance led a group of remnants to disappear into the Maosuwu Desert, I don't know if she is dead now.

In order to make up for the regret of not being able to catch the princess Xiangxiang, Gu Lunmu picked a hundred from the Hui women to serve, and when he was tired of playing, he threw it to his subordinates, every day he lay in the mansion of the old Hoxha in Ningxia City, enjoying life, with chilled mare's milk wine and grapes, watermelon and other fruits in front of him, the Hui beauties in tulle beat his back and knocked his legs, the Hui people love to clean, the rich have exquisite baths in their homes, and it is more comfortable to lie in the cold water in summer, Gu Lunmu is an authentic Mongolian, and he does not even wash his face when he marches and fights, and it is normal not to change his clothes for several monthsThe filthy person has now changed, and every day he has to let the beautiful woman serve him, take a bath, catch one when he is interested, and when he is tired, he comes up to roast mutton and drink spirits, and his life is more comfortable than that of a khan.

The importance of the rich Hetao region to Western Xia is the same as Jiangnan to the Ming Dynasty, which is an important grain-producing area and horse-producing area, every other month, Gu Lun Mu will send people to transport war horses and grain and grass back to the homeland to support the emperor to fight against the rebels, this month the horse grain has just been shipped out, Gu Lun Mu can have a good time to relax, bored, he soaked in the pool and napped, if it was not for the emperor's decree that he should stick to Ningxia and not go to war, he would rather lead the troops to Shaanxi to see the so-called sharp firearms of the Han army.

Gu Lunmu yawned, picked up a plate of mare's milk grapes, stuffed it into his mouth, and was eating it, when suddenly his subordinates hurriedly ran in and reported: "The horses, grain and grass sent to China by the elders of ten thousand households have been robbed!" ”

With a bang, the silver plate with mare's milk grapes was thrown to the ground: "Who did it?" Where did you give birth to something? Gu Lunmu jumped out of the pool naked, and shouted loudly, and the two slaves hurriedly ran over and got bath towels to help him surround his lower body. However, Gu Lunmu was so excited, but it was not caused by anger, looking at his happy appearance, it was obvious that he was excited because he had a reason to fight.

The officer who reported the message said: "When the team reached Lingwu, it seemed that the remnants of the Hui army attacked it, and the leader was Princess Xiangxiang. ”

At this time, Gu Lunmu was even more excited: "Hurry up and gather people and horses, I will personally attack to retrieve the grain and grass, and the war horse will also snatch Princess Xiangxiang by the way, hahaha, this is what she sent to the door herself." ”

Gu Lunmu gathered three thousand cowardly Xue Jun, these old brothers were born and died for many years, followed him, and now in this Ningxia City, they also live the same leisurely life, but as soon as they heard that they were going to go out to fight, everyone still shouted excitedly, and the seven thousand brothers who did not get out of the fighting meeting were so anxious that they asked to participate in this () "camping" activity, in fact, Gu Lunmu also wanted to take them to fight together, but in order to maintain the stability of Ningxia City, he had to leave most of the troops, after all, these Hui Zi were newly subdued, and their hearts were still wild, so they had to be guarded.

The three thousand elite soldiers didn't even wear armor, but the silk underwear was covered with leather robes, and they went out to deal with hundreds of remnants, if they put on the armor again, it would be too embarrassing, this pursuit operation, they just warmed up, and they had enjoyed the blessings in Ningxia City for so long, and it was time to come out and digest the fat in their stomachs.

An iron stream rushed out of the city of Ningxia, three thousand cowardly Xue troops, each with three horses, two bows and a hundred arrows, and a saber, this combination is the standard of the Mongolian army, the longbow dismounted, with a short bow, the arrow is also divided into two kinds of light and heavy, long shot, heavy melee combat, this is the old tradition that has been handed down since the time of Genghis Khan. When Gu Lunmu rode a mare at the front of the team and rushed out of the city gate, he couldn't help but look up, old Hoxha's head was still in a wicker cage, hanging in Ningxia City, and his head was already ** unable to see clearly.

"Hoxha, you're about to see your daughter." Gu Lunmu gritted his teeth proudly, grinned his horse's belly, and ran forward with a loud shout.
