Chapter 198: For the Mountain and the Nine Thousands

Under the wind and sand in the sky, since the prime minister lost his martyrdom, he pinched and cut the following high-ranking officials to eat and dress on weekdays, how could they have suffered so much? They sat in the car, and after walking more than ten miles with patience, they were already bumpy and bitter.

The martyr gate and the pinching came to turn over and get out of the car, spit out the sand and dust blowing from the wind in their mouths, cursed the Taishi barbarian in their hearts, and went towards the car of the Northern Yuan Emperor.

Togus Timur sat up straight, while reaching out to beat the already bumpy and sore back, seeing the two henchmen Wenchen gray-faced, with a sad face poured out the pain of rushing, remembering that his two sons and a group of concubines were also so hard to travel in the wind and sand, suddenly felt compassion, and immediately passed down the holy decree, asking the whole army to camp on the spot.

Lan Yu led the army in the middle of the march, and suddenly saw two figures faintly appearing in the wind and sand in front of him, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to draw his sword, and after distinguishing that they were the two scouts to which he belonged, he put his mind at ease, pointed at them with the three-foot long sword in his hand and said, "You wait to come and talk back." ”

After the two scouts finished speaking, Wang Bi on Lan Yu's side couldn't help frowning, and his heart felt like a heavy lead. It turned out that the two scouts who were exploring the way in front returned to the commander Lan Yu, and less than ten miles in front of them was the fishing sea, but unfortunately they did not find the traces of the Northern Yuan army.

Although Lan Yu's heart was also cloudy, he still did not change his face and ordered in a deep voice: "The whole army marched to the fishing sea to replenish drinking water, remember not to let the soldiers mess up, each time divide 30,000 horses to get water, "Wuding Marquis" Guo Ying's men and horses drink water first, and the rest of the generals will lead their respective brothers to stand by. ”

The wind and sand are slightly lighter, and a wide lake gradually appears a few feet away. When the sparkling water surface that broke the waves in the wind appeared in front of him, Zhu Quan's already dry and smoking throat couldn't help but let out a heartfelt cheer.

Guo Ying's 30,000 cavalry galloped to the lake, shouted and threw themselves into the water, ignoring the fact that the lake had been filthy by the wind and sand, drinking bitterly to quench their thirst, and the war horses also bowed their heads and drank water by the lake.

At this time, the more than 10,000 Liaodong cavalry to which Lan Yu belonged witnessed their companions drinking and quenching their thirst, and it was even more unbearable, and finally several soldiers could not restrain the mounts under their crotches, and they also galloped towards the lake.

Not far away, a thousand households of the Ming army saw that their subordinates were also in a commotion, and shouted sharply with their eyebrows raised: "Turn around and come back immediately, otherwise you will release the arrows." ”

The war horses that the Ming soldiers sat on had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and suddenly saw the water source, and they had already let go of their hooves and galloped, even if the master whipped and scolded, it was difficult to control it.

Seeing that the warning was ineffective, the Ming army raised his hand to take off the bow and arrow on the side of the saddle, bent the bow and shot it out after the arrow, and reprimanded loudly: "Release the arrow." ”

The arrow flew out of the air, and it had already penetrated the back of a Ming army that had rushed out for several feet, and the corpse fell off the horse backwards, but the war horse still rushed into the lake regardless of it.

With a rain of arrows, the Ming soldiers who couldn't control their mounts and rushed forward screamed and fell off their horses, and one soldier's feet were still hanging in the stirrups, dragging his war horse sideways and dragging it into the lake.

A group of eager Ming cavalrymen, seeing such cold-blooded methods, couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and tightened the reins of their horses one after another, for fear that they would not be able to restrain the mounts under their crotches, and they would die unjustly like their companions.

At this time, Lan Yu had already turned over and dismounted, looking at the wide fishing sea, and turned a blind eye to what happened to the other party.

Wang Bi saw that Lan Yu's demeanor at this time was the same as usual, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and stretched out his hand to the Chinese army Sima beside him and ordered: "Who ordered the arrows to be released?" Call him to me. ”

When a Ming army thousand households in their thirties, tall and thin, and with a calm expression came to Wang Bi and turned over and dismounted, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "Sheng Yong, a lowly thousand households, have seen the deputy marshal." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at the Ming soldiers not far from the corpse, and continued in a low voice: "The situation is urgent, and the humble post has not been ordered by the marshal, so he ordered to shoot these soldiers without authorization, and asked the deputy marshal to punish him." "It turns out that this Sheng Yong is not Lan Yu's subordinate, but he was ordered to mobilize from the Nine Border Town, and the Ming soldiers who were ordered to be shot by him are the descendants of Lan Yu's Liaodong Ming Army.

"Those who enforce military law have no merit. You have done a great job today, and I have written it down. Wang Bi waved his hand at Na Sheng Yong, turned around and walked towards the head coach Lan Yu standing by the lake in the distance.

Zhu Quan looked at the corpses of the Ming soldiers who were shot, and then turned his head to look at Sheng Yong who rode away, and recalled in his mind the commotion brought by the Ming knights who died under the chaotic arrows to the other soldiers, and secretly thought: At this time, our soldiers are hungry and thirsty, and they are naturally moved when they see such a water source, if they don't shoot these soldiers immediately, I am afraid that a few people will drive hundreds, thousands of people, and the discipline of the 150,000 army will collapse unstoppably like an avalanche. The consequences are unimaginable. This Sheng Yong's decision to kill, calm and composed, should not be underestimated.

Lan Yu squatted on the shore of the lake, stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of cold and biting lake water to wash his face, felt the stinging pain of a little ice floe rubbing on his cheeks, turned his head to look at Wang Bi on his side, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "The whole army rests overnight by the lake, if it is early tomorrow morning, and no trace of the Yuan army is found, we will lead the army to return south." At this point, there was endless loneliness and disappointment in his tone. It turned out that after the Fang Cai army came to the shore of Yuerhai Lake, Lan Yu had repeatedly sent scouts and Jinyi guards to investigate the traces of the Yuan army, and only then did he get reports one after another, saying that there was no army stationed within a radius of several miles, and the traces of the march could be found, I don't know whether the wind and sand covered the tracks of the Northern Yuan army, or the Ming army had deviated from the direction. This fishing area is huge, and searching the vast grasslands not far from the lakeshore is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. And the 150,000 Ming army abandoned the grain and grass baggage, and advanced lightly, and the remaining rations were no longer able to support the army to stay in Mobei for too long.

Wang Bi saw that there were only Lan Yu and himself in the vicinity at this time, so he replied categorically: "Absolutely not." ”

Lan Yu suddenly heard Wang Bi's opposition to him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Wang Bi sighed secretly in his heart, if he was in front of the rest of the generals in the army, he would definitely not say such a resolute opposition to Lan Yu, the commander of the three armies, just because he and Lan Yu's colleagues have been Lan Yu's deputy for several years, and others don't know, but he already understands that this Lan Yu, who is usually ruthless, is already a little disturbed when the army is deep in this lonely army and the enemy's whereabouts are unknown. At this time, the wind and sand have not stopped, although the 150,000 troops have arrived at the shore of the fishing sea, but it is very likely to deviate in the direction of the wind and sand, the Yuan army may be dozens of miles away, or a hundred miles away is unknown, thinking of this, gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still remember the great trust of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince?" If we work hard and mobilize the people, we will return to ...... in vain. ”

"When the brothers are brought back to Daning, Lan will naturally use the head on the item to give an explanation to His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lan Yu Huo Ran stood up, stared at the sparkling lake in front of him, and stood with his hands in his hands.

Wang Bi looked at Lan Yu and said softly, "When this is the time of the mountain, how can it fall short? Even if we are all buried in the desert, at least we can give an explanation to my father and brother, and all the Han people in the world. Speaking of this, he raised his hand to summon several Chinese army Simas in the distance, and ordered in a deep voice: "Let all the scouts on standby in the army, Jinyi Guard, all the Jinyi guards dispatch, if there is any trace of the Yuan army, report it quickly." Speaking of this, after a slight pause, he continued: "Let Feng Tieling's department also dispatch some more martial arts people to investigate." ”

At this time, Zhu Quan was drinking the lake water by the lake, and washing the dust off his face with the cold lake water.

After Feng Tieling received the military order from Sima of the Chinese army, he immediately summoned more than 100 brothers with strong martial arts under him, and said sharply: "If you find a scout of the Yuan army, remember not to escape a person, and be sure to kill them all, so as not to reveal the traces of our army." At this time, although the wind and sand are slightly smaller than the square, it is already beyond the reach of the eyesight a few feet away. Such bad weather greatly facilitated the approach to kill the Yuan army scouts in this vast grassland.

When the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was temporarily resting on the shore of the Yuer Sea, in the camp of the Yuan army more than 20 miles away in the north, a man dressed as a herdsman quietly slipped out, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and came south along the Yuer Sea.

In the vast wind and sand, a soldier in charge of the sentry of the Yuan army squatted behind the war horse, with his back to the wind and sand blowing by the wind, scolding the sky and the earth with foul language in his mouth, scolding the eighteenth generation ancestors of his boss. Suddenly, I only felt a pain in my heart, and when I looked down, I only saw the cold light protruding from my chest, so I turned over and fell down, and died in Huangquan.

Just as Fang Jinsong, who was one-armed in a green shirt and masked with a coarse cloth, was swept by the wind and sand, his vision was blurred, and he approached the Yuan army sentry, another Chinese character on his side swung his knife and slashed at the mount of the Yuan army scout.

Unexpectedly, the war horse suddenly saw that the master was in a tragic disaster, and immediately screamed sadly, turned his head and rushed forward, Fang Jinsong took out the long sword on the corpse of the Yuan army and stabbed it with a sword, but only injured the horse's back, after seeing that the war horse was frightened, the four hooves flew down and ran out of two zhang, and saw that he was about to rush into the vast wind and sand.

A ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the wind and sand, and then a cold light swept by, and the war horse neighed and rushed out of the blood splash, and the four hooves were so soft that the corpse was on the ground.

At this time, Fang Jinsong saw that ghostly figure appeared outside Zhangyu, vaguely dressed as a herdsman, and immediately jumped forward, swinging his sword and going straight to the other party's throat.

"Ding, after two dings, the two sides staggered after two moves."

Fang Jinsong turned around and stopped the junior disciple who was about to draw his sword to flank the enemy, and suddenly smiled at the masked herdsman, "Isn't the Tartar Emperor already far away?" "He is strong in martial arts, and under the battle of lightning and fire, he has already noticed that the other party is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also above him in internal strength, and he is also a person he knows very well.

"If I shoot a little slower, under the shadowless sword, won't there be another life?" I saw that the man with the long sword reached out and pulled down the cloth towel covering his face, and it was Zhu Quan's master, Fang Jinsong's eldest brother Qin Zhuofeng.

Fang Jinsong smiled and looked at the war horse that killed Qin Zhuofeng with a sword not far away, and said, "Fang Cai was a little slow, and he almost caused a big deal to this beast." ”

Qin Zhuofeng nodded and said, "I don't know why, people get lost in the wind, sand and heavy snow, and livestock like horses, even if they are snowy at night and in such a windy and sandy weather, they can find the camp and water source very accurately. Since he and Fang Jinsong went deep into the desert last year to explore the location of the Northern Yuan army, they have been getting along with the horses every day, and they have a clear understanding of the horse's spirituality.

Qin Zhuofeng turned his head to look at Fang Jinsong's junior disciple, and said in a deep voice: "You go back immediately and inform Lan Yu that the Tartar Emperor and about 100,000 soldiers are currently stationed less than three miles away from here. When the man nodded and turned around, he solemnly instructed: "Remember not to stay away from the lake, lest you get lost in the wind and sand." After saying that, the other party waved Jinsong, and the two rushed into the vast wind and sand side by side, to search and clean up the sentinels and scouts arranged by the Yuan army nearby.

Lan Yu, who was anxious in her heart, heard that Senior Brother Fang Jinsong reported to Qin Zhuofeng that when the Yuan army was more than twenty miles away from here, she couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in her heart, and immediately summoned the lieutenant generals and colonels to come over.

Zhu Quan, Zhu Di, Feng Tieling and others heard that they had found the enemy's traces, and they were also in high spirits, and they hurriedly came to Lan Yu's side.

Lan Yu looked up at the wind and sand, which was slightly smaller than Fang Cai, took out the three-foot long sword at his waist, drew a circle on the ground, glanced at the generals who formed a circle around him, and then forcibly suppressed the surging in his heart, and tried to say in a calm voice: "According to Qin Zhuofeng's predecessors, at present, the Northern Yuan Dynasty is close to 100,000 elite cavalry, camped more than 20 miles north of us, we must set off immediately, take advantage of the wind and sand has not stopped, and the good opportunity of the unclear vision quietly approaches, surprise, and attack it unprepared." ”

As Lan Yu spoke, his wrist waved again and again, and the tip of the sword drew three straight lines in a row on the circle that indicated the place where the Yuan army was encamped, and drew two arcs from the two wings of the circle around a semicircle, and the long sword pointed directly at the three straight lines that crossed the circle, and said in a deep voice: "The way this commander plays is that our army is divided into five routes, and the task of these three roads is to impact the center of the enemy's army, kill as many Tartars as possible, and be sure to cut down the dragon banner and handsome banner of the Northern Yuan Emperor Lao'er." ”

Zhu Quan and Zhu Di couldn't help but bow their heads slightly when they heard Lan Yu's orders, and the two of them followed Lan Yu for a long time, so they naturally understood that this flag was important to the entire army's heart, as long as the enemy's flag was not clear, it would inevitably cause the army's morale to waver, and it did have an immeasurable effect on destroying the enemy's morale.
