The bold and provocative actions of the Ming army infuriated the Tatars who were in high morale in Lian Zhan, but in fact, all Song Nan's intentions in doing so were to calmly deploy troops and horses on the mountains on both sides west of Jingyu. Hide tens of thousands of troops.

Wang Yong led a thousand Jinyi guards of the fire battalion to break forward forty miles, and arrived at the vicinity of Yehu Ridge ten miles east of the Wild Fox Ridge to cruise, just to clear the scout cavalry sent by the Tartars. With firearms in hand and a pure cavalry unit, Wang Yong was not afraid to go back and forth under the noses of the Tartars, when Tulu led 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort hundreds of scout cavalry deep into the middle ground more than 20 miles away, Wang Yong even ordered a decisive attack, with ferocious firepower, the 5,000 Tartar soldiers were beaten to the head.

In the rear, on the slopes of the low but continuous sides of the west of Jinglu, more than 200 Zhankou general cannons were pushed up to the top of the hillside by the horse-drawn people, and almost no defensive measures were done. But what is puzzling is that these Zhankou generals did not form a situation of group bombardment, but deployed all the way to stretch for five or six miles, not like firearms to bombard the Tartars, but like salutes lined up on the mountains on both sides of the avenue to welcome the arrival of the Tartars.

After dark, they took digging tools and carried heavy baskets full of unknown things to the road where the Tartars were coming, and they came back one by one in the morning like gray mice, and so on two days later, they stopped.

In the past two days, he waited patiently for the supply of soldiers and horses to rest, and immediately issued an order to attack Jingyu, and took advantage of his own soldiers and horses to rest in the past few days; The arrogance of the Ming army became higher and higher, and several teams of Jinyi cavalry even came to sit at the foot of the mountain in front of the camp, which simply blew up the lungs of the bald man.

However, annoyance is annoyance, after all, Bald Meng has experienced a hundred battles, his troop dispatch has not been greatly affected, divided into the front, middle and rear three armies to advance, both sides of the cavalry brigade at the same time to go together to guard against ambushes, and with a cautious and cautious attitude along the way to the various areas that may be ambushed to carry out a tentative march, so that more than 30 miles, not even a ghost shadow of the Ming army. In the past few days, the arrogant and domineering Jinyi Guard cavalry has also disappeared like a mouse seeing a cat.

Entering the last ten miles, the surrounding hills are undulating, and the terrain in front of them is becoming narrower and narrower, but even so, he is not worried about Baldness, because the flat ground on both sides of the roundabout has three or four miles of roundabouts, which can accommodate thousands of soldiers and horses to advance in unison, and there is no worry at all about the chaos that will occur when attacked due to the narrow terrain.

But after marching for more than three miles, Batut Mur, the governor of the former army, suddenly sent a signal to stop advancing, and sent someone to report that there was a change in the front, and asked the Great Khan to decide whether to march or not.

Riding his horse to the front of the army with a gloomy face, he saw that at the front of the line, Batutemur was leading several generals to point to the road ahead. Seeing that the bald man could ride his horse to arrive, all the generals saluted on their horses with their arms crossed over their chests.

"What's going on? Why stop? Do you want the army to spend the night in this unforeseen place? Arrive at Jinglu before evening, and you will be able to spend the night in Jinglu City. The bald man asked.

"Respected Great Khan, the last general doesn't want to stop, but the situation here is a little weird." Batu hurriedly said: "Look at the wilderness on both sides of this avenue, full of excavated potholes, the traces of soil are new, the original formation can keep the hundred-person square team marching together, but now the surrounding wilderness has been destroyed, all yellow mud traps, we can only compress the formation from the avenue, in this way, the formation of soldiers and horses will be compressed and lengthened, and the space for maneuver will be greatly reduced." Therefore, the last general felt that it was inappropriate, and invited the Great Khan to come and take a look and give a clear explanation. ”

Looking at Bald Mengke following Batu's guidance, he saw that the fields on both sides of the road were full of loess and potholes, which were obviously artificially excavated, needless to say, these were the masterpieces of the Ming army. Its intention is self-evident, it is to prevent the brigade of soldiers and horses from passing through guò, these potholes are densely packed one after another, four or five feet deep, and their own soldiers and horses will never be able to pass through these fields.

"These earth rats actually came up with such a way, will Song Nan only come up with such a way? Stupid very. These potholes can stop my army for a while, how can they stop me for a lifetime? The bald man sneered.

"Do you want the general to order the pit to be filled? The mounds are ready-made, and they are made by covering them in the pits. Batu said.

"No, no. The Ming army was frightened to come up with such a way to stop the advance of our army, and if we were entangled with them in this matter, wouldn't we be as stupid as them. We've been walking for almost a day on this fifty-mile road, and I don't want to waste time camping here. Batu, you have a matter of examining, why do you say that the field is full of potholes, but the road in front of you is flat and wide? ”

Batu realized the strangeness of this matter, the road was a smooth road, these days the soldiers and horses have been coming and going, the grass on the road is trampled sparsely, revealing the solid loess and a thin layer of dust below, at a glance, you know that there will be no traps.

"This ...... In the eyes of the last general, they must have dug a hidden trap, or did they deliberately force us to take this path, looking for an opportunity to raid? Batu couldn't figure it out, so he could only speculate wildly.

"Hehe, I tell you that there is nothing on this road, and everyone thinks there is something strange on this road, but Ben Khan concludes that this is another trick by Song Na. This qiē arrangement is all a suspicious arrangement to confuse us. In ancient times, there was a person surnamed Zhuge who deliberately opened the four doors and sat alone at the head of the city to play the piano when he fought with a strong enemy, so that the opponent did not dare to enter the city, and they called this an empty city plan. Hehe, as everyone knows, in the eyes of my Tatar warriors, whether you are an empty city or a full city, our goal is to occupy it, and Song Nan's hard work is afraid that it will be in vain in front of Ben Khan. Hahaha. "He laughed out loud and was proud of his erudition.

"Father Khan, it's better to be careful." The eldest prince Tulu had a black plaster on his left cheek, and he looked very ridiculous, it was an iron egg when he was raided by the brocade guard the day before yesterday. The consequences of the child wiping his face.

He glanced at Tulu with disgust, and snorted coldly: "When will you become resourceful and far-sighted, so that you can see what resourcefulness is." ”

He ordered seven or eight horses to be brought in and ordered to be driven to the front, and the soldiers were stabbed in each of their buttocks, but when they saw that the horses were in pain and ran wildly, they ran all the way down the avenue, and set up a long dragon of dust, and ran until they were miles away, and then they were tired and stopped, and stopped to eat the grass.

"Can you see clearly? The galloping horses did not encounter any traps, and Ben Khan was not wrong to say that the army was playing tricks. ”

"The Great Khan ...... Wise"

"The Great Khan is like a god in the sky, who knows a qiē."

"The Great Khan is a genius, I will never have a Tatar, and I will sincerely bow down."

Everyone praised one after another, half of them were admiration, and half of them were taking the opportunity to flatter and pat themselves.

"Batu, immediately lead the front army forward, before sunset must rush to the west of Jingyu City, Ben Khan's Golden Horde army and two hundred Condor cannons will arrive later, we will put thousands of fireworks on the head of Jingyu City after dark, but this fireworks are not here to watch, but to kill people."

"By the orders of the Great Khan."

Batu no longer hesitated, and immediately contracted the formation to concentrate the soldiers and horses on the avenue, and the 20,000 former troops meandered into a long snake formation, carrying rolling yellow dust straight to Jingyu. He returned to the camp of the Chinese army, and ordered the two hundred Condor cannons dragged by the rear army to speed up, and personally wrapped these big guys in a hurry.

The sun gradually fell to the west, dragging the shadows of the mountains, trees, and hills, and a few miles ahead, Jingyu City stood alone at the end of the road in the distance, looking like a weak woman, facing the menacing gangsters, without the power to fight back.

If you can see Jingyu City visually, it is already four or five miles away from Jinglu, and then you can set up a position if you advance a few miles, because the range of the Condor cannon is more than two miles, and the Tartar officers and soldiers have gradually begun to get used to letting the Condor cannon dump cannonballs on the enemy's city before rushing to kill, first destroy the enemy's city defense and tower, and kill a large number of enemy soldiers. Although this method of warfare was somewhat unpleasant in the minds of some Tartar officers, it was more important than anything else, and victory without paying more casualties was the happiest thing for the leader.

Batu's former army long line came to the side of the two gate-like hills, and the official road passed through the door, saying that it was a small mountain, but it was just a small dirt bag, and there were still three or four miles of open land in the middle, and the mountain bag was all bare and loess, and it was unobstructed, so Batu didn't care at all.

However, when the procession was halfway through, suddenly, there was a roar of explosions from the mountain bags on both sides, and two black mushrooms appeared on the mountain bags in the air, which were extremely eye-catching against the solemn evening sky.

"What's going on?" Batu had just had time to yell loudly.

"Boom! Rumble! A huge explosion rang out in the long dragon-like procession, and the flesh and blood flew into the air with stumps in the mud and rocks, and there was chaos in an instant.
