Zilharang immediately ordered the Derge class not to be entangled with Zu Dashou anymore, and immediately accelerated to support Dongtumut.

And he himself is still unwilling to turn around like this, otherwise it looks like he is being led by the nose by the Ming army.

But he didn't turn around, but Man Gui quickly turned around, and didn't seem to care about the life or death of the Chahar Department at all.

What is even more suspicious is that there are still eight or nine thousand Chahar cavalry in Mangui's department, and they also followed Mangui away, and they have no intention of returning to help.

He didn't know if Lin Dan Khan had taken precautions, or if they were sure that they would not be able to defeat or severely damage Lin Dan Khan.

But he still didn't want to be led by the nose, and even suspected that Man Gui was cheating and luring himself to turn around.

So he continued to advance westward, but sent more sentinels to reconnoiter the Chahar Department, as well as the specific movements of the Ming army such as Man Gui and Zu Dashou.

But less than a day after walking, his heart was beating a drum, because Man Gui didn't have any intention of stopping, all the way east, the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther, could it be that they were going to hunt the Derge?

This suspicion was basically confirmed the next day, because Derge sent someone to report that 20,000 Ming cavalry had appeared in front of them, and it seemed that they were waiting for them on the east bank of the Luan River.

And dozens of miles behind them were 10,000 cavalry of Zu Dashou.

If Man Gui supports the past, the Derge class will have to face nearly 50,000 Ming troops, which will be very dangerous.

Moreover, Dongtumut is still waiting for rescue.

"Turn around." Although Zilharang was very unwilling, he had to immediately turn around and go to support, and sent someone to inform the movement of the Derge Mangui Division, so that he could pay more attention.

The 20,000 Ming cavalry that appeared on the east bank of the Luan River were naturally Yang Zhaoji's subordinates, and they had long been deployed in the Miyun rearguard, waiting for Zhao to lead the sect to attack Dongtu Mote, and when Jianyu went to the rescue, they would join Zu Dashou to intercept it.

Of course, if the Derge class had been fooled before and was led by Zu Dashou to launch a fierce attack, then Yang Zhaoji would immediately go out of Gubeikou and go around to its flank to flank it.

Because of 30,000 or 3,000 captives and about 6,000 Mongol soldiers, and then occupy a geographical advantage, it is completely possible to give it a try.

Although Apocalypse said that this operation doesn't care about the captives, if there is really a good opportunity, he will definitely not let it go.

After learning that the 20,000 Ming troops in front of him came out of Gubeikou, Derge was afraid for a while, fortunately there was no ancestor Dashou, otherwise he would have plunged into that section of the notch, and then be blocked by the 20,000 Ming army in the back, even if he could break through, the loss would be not small.

Although he escaped, the current situation is not optimistic, and he is still in the middle of the 30,000 Ming army, and the 20,000 Ming army in front of him still occupies a geographical advantage.

After a little calculation, Derge immediately turned around and rushed towards Zu Dashou, preparing to defeat the relatively weak Zu Dashou first, and at the same time, attract 20,000 Ming troops on the east bank of the Luan River to cross the river to rescue.

However, Zu Dashou did not have the slightest intention of cooperating with Yang Zhaoji to attack Jianyu, and when he saw Jianyu turning his head and rushing towards him, he immediately turned around.

Because he already knew that Zhao Shujiao was attacking Dongtu Mote, he was anxious about Jianyu, and the longer it dragged on, the greater the results of Zhao Shujiao's battle.

Anyway, don't be in a hurry, play slowly, this is also the meaning of long live.

And after learning the news that Jianyu was going to attack Zu Dashou, Yang Zhaoji did not have any intention of crossing the river to rescue.

Seeing that his intentions were frustrated, there was nothing Derge could do except curse a few times angrily, Zu Dashou was too slippery, and he couldn't catch it at all except for wasting time.

So, he had to continue to lead the army to the east, and Zu Dashou did not hesitate to turn around and keep up, maintaining a distance of about twenty miles.

Derge sent a small number of people to monitor Zu Dashou, so they didn't bother to care about him anymore, and focused on how to cross the Luan River.

In fact, crossing the Luan River is simple and simple, because the Luan River is still in the freezing period, and the ice surface is enough to support the cavalry.

However, it is difficult to say, and it is also a little difficult, because the 20,000 cavalry of the Ming army are guarding the east bank, and the average width of the river is only twenty or thirty zhang, so that both sides can clearly see each other's movements.

As soon as the Derge class moved, Yang Zhaoji followed on the opposite bank, and he must block directly opposite Jianyu.

Walking slowly on the ice is not a big problem, but it is difficult to charge, and if the cavalry's attack speed does not increase, the attack power will be much weaker.

Once the Derge class could not break through the blocking of Yang Zhaoji's 20,000 Ming troops in time and was squeezed on the ice, Zu Dashou in the rear rushed up at the right time to attack, and the Jianyu would easily cause chaos on the ice, and the consequences would be very serious.

Several main generals are aware of this, so they are careful not to be exploited by their opponents.

Seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, Derge had to give up his plan to cross the river today, and the soldiers were also very tired.

So, he camped in a salient on the west bank of the Luan River, and prepared to rest for the night, and then talk about it tomorrow.

And such terrain can also prevent the Ming army from being attacked from several directions, and it is only necessary to focus on the west.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other until dark, and it seemed that it could be stopped.

But obviously, it's not that simple.

At about the end of the day, dozens of Ming soldiers on the east bank of the Luan River cautiously touched the bank, digging something in a row.

After a while, they seemed to have buried something.

"There's a situation on the other side." Several Jianyu guards on the west bank saw the sparks and figures on the opposite bank, and they became a little vigilant, worried that the Ming army would come over and sneak attack.

However, before they could report it, they heard a series of explosions sounding fifty feet away, accompanied by clusters of fire.

In an instant, they understood that it was the Ming army that was firing artillery.

"Puff puff ......"

Hundreds of pebbles and buckshot rained down.

"Ah......h

Derge's face changed suddenly, he had just discussed with the generals, and in the early hours of the morning, Azig led a thousand Jurchen soldiers to carefully smuggle across the river seven miles upstream.

If he hadn't been discovered, he would have let his subordinates smuggle over one by one. If discovered, Azig immediately launched an attack to buy time for the follow-up main force.

Unexpectedly, before the operation on his side began, the Ming army launched an attack first.

However, I haven't reconnoitred carefully, the Ming army is all cavalry, where did the artillery come from?

didn't have time to think about it, he immediately led the generals out of the tent to prepare for the battle, but as soon as he understood, he realized that the Ming army was just firing artillery on the other side, and had no intention of attacking at all.

Moreover, this kind of cannon is not a medium and large artillery such as a general cannon, a Fran machine cannon or a Hongyi cannon, but a small cannon weighing only a few dozen pounds, no wonder it has not been discovered.

Because this kind of cannon does not need to be carried on a vehicle at all, it can be carried by one person, and it is easier to carry on a war horse.

But this kind of cannon still has some role in infantry combat, and in cavalry warfare, there is no place for it at all, so I have never seen the Ming army use it before, and I didn't expect to take it out for a sneak attack at this time.

The Derg immediately moved the soldiers close to the west bank, and keeping the camp at a distance of more than a mile from the river bank was enough to ensure safety.
