The Ming army in the river bay also discovered this sudden cavalry.

Wang Chengen hurriedly took out a monocular from the leather bag on his waist and handed it to Zhu Gaoyuan, this telescope was presented to Chongzhen by Qin Tianjian Zheng Tang Ruowangjin, divided into three sections, which can see farther and clearer than the common two-section telescope.

Zhu Gaoyuan took it and pulled out the telescope and began to observe carefully.

Gong Yonggu, Wang Jiayan and other nobles and officials also gathered around.

"Hey, you say, could this cavalry be sent by Pinciber?"

"What do you think, Ping Xibo doesn't know that the Holy Lord is in the Chahar grassland."

"I don't know if this cavalry is the Guanning Army, but it's certainly not a Mongol."

"Well, most of the Mongols use Sulu ingots, and this cavalry uses Daxu."

"If it's not a Mongol, whose cavalry will it be?" The last person to speak was Wang Wei, the examiner of the Hanlin Academy, who suddenly shouted after a pause, "It shouldn't be the cavalry of the thieves, right?" ”

"You guessed it right, it's the Rogue Cavalry!" Zhu Gaoyuan put down the binoculars and said.

The equipment of the thieves is relatively messy, which is very different from the Ming official army.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming officers and troops is scum, but the clothing and equipment are still relatively unified.

After a pause, Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "It is estimated that I was ordered by the thief to arrest me, and the thief really wants to kill them all, I have already hidden in the Chahar grassland, and I still refuse to let go." ”

"What a thief?" Wang Wei said with a bitter face, "Now we are in big trouble." ”

While the monarch was talking, he saw two cavalrymen come out of the thief formation and go to the side of the Mongols.

"Look, look." Xuancheng Bowei Shichun suddenly shouted, "There are two thieves who are going to the side of the Mongols, I guess they are colluding with the Mongols, and they want to unite to fight us." ”

"Huh? How's that for good? Hui Anbo and Zhang Qingzhen were suddenly frightened.

On the contrary, Wang Jiayan, Jin Xuan, Meng Zhaoxiang and other civil officials did not change their faces one by one.

I have to say that the Ming Dynasty still retains some reading seeds and the style of literati.

Zhu Gaoyuan glared at Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shichun, and snorted: "Don't worry, the thieves and the Mongols can't get along, because I only have one head." ”

……

The two sides really didn't get along.

After listening to Li Yan's intentions, he simply refused.

"This is absolutely impossible, this group of Ming troops slaughtered a settlement of our Arch Rabbit Department for no reason, and even caused huge losses to our Arch Rabbit Department in the Fog Spirit Valley, so we will not let any of them go!"

Li Yan frowned and said, "We only need the leader among them, and the rest will be yours." ”

"I said no, the eagles of the prairie will never share their prey with other animals." "And you, intruding into the territory of our Gongtu tribe for no reason, this is a serious provocation, you are limited to withdraw from Chahar and the grassland within half a day, otherwise you will bear all the consequences." ”

"Heh, what if we don't?" Li Yan didn't take the threat of the sun at all.

It's not that the Dashun army hasn't fought with the Mongols, aren't Zu Dale and Zu Kuan's 1,000 Yiding the Mongols? And it was the elite of the Mongols, so what was the result?

It's not that they have been beaten to ashes by their Dashun army.

Today's Mongol cavalry is no longer the Mongol cavalry of 400 years ago.

The world today is no longer the same as it was in the days of Genghis Khan.

The glorious days of the Mongol cavalry are gone.

"You're looking for death!" After listening to the translation of Li Yan's entourage, he was furious, and immediately took out his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Li Yan.

Li Yan drew his bow to block it, and then shot an arrow with his backhand.

He was about to shoot a second heavy arrow at Li Yan, but he found that Li Yan and the others had already reined in their horses and galloped towards the main formation.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had stretched to thirty paces.

Without hesitation, he shot the second arrow, but unfortunately he couldn't hit it, and the Ming Dynasty man on the opposite side was much more powerful than he had imagined, even as good as the warriors among their Mongols.

Hairigu wanted to launch a large army charge, but was stopped by Śritěchina.

Because the position of the Gongtu cavalry was extremely unfavorable, it happened to be in the middle of the Ming army in Hewan and the later Ming army, once it was attacked from the front and back, it would be a big trouble.

"Let's go to the southwest corner of the Hara Hetao and set up camp first."

"Send someone with Bogda Chechen Khan's golden arrow to other tribes to ask for reinforcements."

Not only the Qiangtian and Gongtu tribes, but Li Yan, who returned to the main formation, also realized that it would be difficult to break the current deadlock in a short period of time, so he also decided to set up camp first, and then send Fei Cavalry to find Li You and Gu Kecheng.

……

However, it was not the two reinforcements that arrived first.

In addition to the Gongtu tribe and Li Yan's subordinates who had rushed to the Hara Hetao, the 1,000 Yiding led by Hu Xinshui had also tracked down to the Wuling Valley that the Misty Spirit Valley that the Pori Tichi had said.

Moreover, Hu Xinshui and Hu Guozhu, father and son, have already surveyed the battlefield.

Facing his eager son, Hu Xinshui asked with a smile: "Boy, tell me what you found." ”

"Yes." Hu Guozhu replied and said, "Abba, the Ming army fought a battle with the people of the Gongtu Department here, and before the cavalry of the Gongtu Department arrived, the Ming army built a protective wall in advance. ”

"The parapet wall of the Ming army was improvised with food bales, saddles, and wood."

"Abba, look at these marks, there are holes left by two rows of wooden stakes."

"Grain was also sprinkled in the middle of the wooden stake, which shows that the Ming army used grain bales to build a parapet wall."

"In this battle, it should be that the cavalry of the Gongtu tribe suffered a big loss and died a lot."

"Looking at the horse manure left on the ground, there should be three groups of people in terms of freshness."

"These delicate horse manure should be left by the Ming army, these rough horse manure are from the war horses of the Gongtu tribe, and the freshest horse manure seems to have been left last night, it may be reinforcements from other tribes invited by the Gongtu tribe."

After a pause, Hu Guozhu stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountains on the west side and said: "In the end, the Ming army went west, but the cavalry of the Gongtu tribe and the later reinforcements didn't know why they chased in the wrong direction. ”

"Haha, the kid has grown." Hu Xinshui rubbed Hu Guozhu's head and said, "What you said earlier is right, but the last sentence is wrong, the Gongtu cavalry and the later reinforcements did not chase in the wrong direction." ”

"How so?" Hu Guozhu said, "Abba, do you see these horse manure and horseshoe prints on the ground? ”

"Boy, sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true." Hu Xinshui's expression became serious, and he continued, "Do you know what the ancestors of the Gongtu tribe are? ”

Hu Guozhu said: "It seems to be a slave of our golden family? ”

Hu Xinshui said: "To be precise, the slave hunters of our golden family, who are specifically responsible for hunting for our golden family, the biggest skill of their tribe is to track the prey, as long as they are targeted, no prey can escape, even if the prey has passed for several days, they can also distinguish the smell of the prey and the exact location of the escape from the residual breath in the air, so no one can escape the tracking of the Gongtu tribe, whether it is hiding in the mountains or escaping into the desert, it is useless." ”

Hu Guozhu said: "So it means that the army really went north? ”

"yes, to the north." Hu Xinshui said, "You Abba and I grew up in the Gongtu tribe, and I have learned prey tracking for more than ten years with the leaders of the previous generation of the Gongtu tribe, and I will definitely not go wrong." ”

After speaking, Hu Xinshui shouted again: "Go!" ”

"Let's go!" Hu Guozhu hurriedly followed.

……

Zhu Gaoyuan's brows were already frowning.

Because more than 2,000 horsemen of the Gongtu tribe have already set up camp in the southwest corner of the river bay, and more than 2,000 rogue cavalry who arrived later have also set up camp in the northwest corner.

The distance between the three camps is only more than 1,000 meters, which can be said to be a smell of chickens and dogs.

Whenever one of them has something to do, the other two will find out at once.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Ming army to break through from the front, and if it breaks through from the east, it is difficult to hide from the Gongtu Department and the thieves.

At that time, the Mongol cavalry and the rogue cavalry will outflank from both flanks, and their more than 1,000 cavalry will be gnawed to the slag.

The reason is very simple, if the Ming army does not move, the Mongolian cavalry and the rogue cavalry will not act rashly if they are afraid of each other, but once the Ming cavalry moves first, then the Mongolian cavalry and the rogue cavalry will definitely put aside their hostility for the time being and unite to stop their more than 1,000 Ming cavalry.

But you can't put it off forever.

The thieves will not only come with two thousand horsemen, if nothing else, these two thousand cavalry are just the vanguard, there must be a brigade of thieves behind, even if the brigade of thieves does not come, after all, this is Chahar Mongolia, and the Mongolian cavalry of other tribes will most likely come to reinforcements within a few days.

By that time, it will really be dead.

Once again, the situation seems to be in a desperate situation.

It's even worse than it was eight days ago in Beijing.

Because of the large city of Beijing, there are nine gates in the inner city alone.

And Zhu Gaoyuan knows what will happen next in Beijing, so he can respond in advance.

But now, trapped in this small bay with an unobstructed view, every move of the Ming army is under the surveillance of the enemy, and it has lost the advantage of the prophet, and it does not know what will happen next.

At this time, Zhu Gaoyuan is also at a loss.

At this moment, a rogue rode slowly over.

Zhu Gaoyuan's heart moved slightly.

Is this to persuade me to surrender?
