At this time, Qi Zhaohu, who was guarding the five forts on the left wing of Datong, had already begun to build fortifications.

When Qi Zhaohu was in the Liaodong Theater before, he was not treated well by his colleagues because he was straightforward.

But what Zhou Xian wants is a person like him who has a clear distinction between public and private.

That's why he was reused and let him take charge of Jin Wuwei with Lu Delin.

In two days, he captured five forts and killed 9,000 enemy cavalry.

Such a record can already make him famous at the border.

At this moment, the wind is gusting and the snow is fluttering.

Twenty miles in front of the pass guarded by Qi Zhaohu, a team of soldiers and horses rushed through the gap in the Great Wall that had been pierced by Hazier, and rushed towards the direction of Wubao.

This army of soldiers and horses is the army under the command of Wang Mingzhao, the king of Shunyi, who came to join Hazier.

Together, Tuoba Hengbu and Blantu commanded 50,000 horses.

In fact, they won't really give Hazir their lives.

Just under the guise of supporting Hazier, he really came to the Ming Dynasty to rob jewelry, money, grain and livestock.

Soon, Tuoba Hengbu discovered Qi Zhaohu's Jin Wuwei army.

At the same time, Jin Wuwei also discovered the army led by Tuoba Hengbu and Blantu.

"Fifty thousand troops?" After Qi Zhaohu heard the sentinel's summons, he was a little surprised.

Now Hazir's army has been reduced to more than 10,000 people.

The first exclusion is his transfer.

Then I think of the 50,000 troops who came down from the grassland.

So Qi Zhaohu quickly thought that those Mongolian cavalry should be the people of the king of Shunyi that Chitose said.

Attaboy.

It's really good.

Qi Zhaohu was full of admiration for Zhou Xian at this moment.

Chitose is really the enemy in advance.

He was given the task of containing the steppe reinforcements in advance.

Isn't this a proof of Zhou Xian's sense of war, full of the magical ability of an unpredictable prophet.

And the vanguard spies among the steppe cavalry also reported to Tuoba Hengbu the information they had discovered.

Tuoba Hengbu frowned and said, "Ming Army? Or ten thousand? Still equipped with Mingguang armor? Are you mistaken? ”

"General, there is absolutely nothing wrong, it is indeed the army of the Ming Dynasty."

"It's impossible."

Tuoba shook his head, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Isn't Hazir already occupying the entire territory of Datong?

Why is the Ming army still stationed in the outer fortress of Datong?

Could it be the Ming Dynasty army that has surrendered to Hazier?

That's impossible!

Because Tuoba Hengbu knew Hazir.

Hazir was a calculating and suspicious man.

Even if the Ming Dynasty had an army to take refuge in him.

Nor could he have given important outlying fortresses to the surrendered army.

Unless......

Tuoba Hengbu frowned and pondered for a moment, then turned to Blantu and said, "Those Ming troops are most likely the reinforcements sent by the Ming Dynasty, and they have now occupied several castles on the outskirts of the military town. ”

"Brandu, tell me what to do? Assault? ”

"No, no, no, it is not advisable to storm by force, and don't forget that we are making a fortune by going south this time, and we must not add unnecessary casualties until we have to."

"Well, I understand, I'm asking you, what's next? The Outer Five Fort is the only way to enter Shanxi, and we can only outwit it. ”

Brandu said: "When it comes to outwitting, I have a way. ”

"Come on, don't lose my appetite, you know me, I'm good at fighting and killing."

"Hehe, we Shunyi have always been allies with Daming, now why don't we take advantage of this relationship and send them a military report, saying that we are here to King Qin."

"As long as we are allowed to enter the city, we can make a big move."

Tuoba Hengbu was overjoyed and said, "Okay, just do as you say!" ”

"Someone." Tuoba Hengbu waved his hand.

arranged for his henchmen to find a big Mingtong in the army, in order to prevent revealing stuffing.

Tuoba Hengbu also made people use the standard Da Ming accent to explain what he wanted to convey.

Then he reassuredly arranged for the messenger to go to Qi Zhaohu to communicate.

It's just that they're still in the dark.

Because Zhou Xian had already learned of King Shunyi's plan in advance.

I know that these people are coming south to fight the autumn wind.

To be precise, in the eyes of Qi Zhaohu, Tuoba Hengbu and Brandu have long since become dead people.

Because before he set out on the expedition, the eunuch of the state of the horse master repeatedly ordered him to hold the three forts on the left flank of Datong, but whenever he encountered an enemy cavalry who tried to escape or tried to reinforce Hazir, he would be killed.

A ruthless person like Qi Zhaohu also likes to perform such a simple and crude task.

Soon, the people sent by Tuoba Hengbu entered the castle where Qi Zhaohu was stationed.

Qi Zhaohu looked at it and felt that Tuoba Hengbu was too small.

With an army of 50,000, only two people were envoys.

It's also a hairy yarn.

So Qi Zhaohu endured it.

It was decided to temporarily suspend the heads of these two guys for a day.

"Respected general, the humble position is the master book under the command of the king of Shunyi, and our general Tuoba Hengbu is currently stationed three miles away from your army."

"Let me be a lowly envoy and come to show goodwill to the commander."

"The army of the king of Shunyi, no longer stationed in the city of naturalization, actually appeared here? Do you have any shady plans? ”

"Report to the general, we are here to support you by the royal order of King Shunyi."

"Oh?" Qi Zhaohu endured his anger and pretended to be puzzled: "Then how are you going to support?" ”

"General, the specific details of cooperation still need to be discussed with our General Tuoba Hengbu."

"That's right, then let him come."

"Thank you, General, I'll go back and pass the word to General Tuoba Hengbu."

A moment later, the master of the Shunyi king was in addition to the castle.

Qi Zhaohu was not idle, and immediately arranged for his 10,000 Jinwuwei warriors to ambush on both flanks of the fortress.

At the same time, two thousand heavily armored cavalry were arranged to be ready in front of the fortress.

Such a formation, in a relatively narrow terrain, only one charge is enough for Tuoba Hengtu to drink a pot!

Qi Zhaohu benefited from Zhou Xian's reminder, and he now knew very well that Tuoba Hengbu was going to make a deception for himself.

Then when he was unprepared, he suddenly backstabbed.

However, for Qi Zhaohu, who has been crawling and rolling in Liaodong for many years, it can be said that he is not up to grade at all in terms of the cautious eye of Tuoba Hengtu.

Therefore, Qi Zhaohu will calculate.

Qi Zhaohu belongs to the type of person who has both courage and strategy.

Otherwise, Lu Delin would not have handed over to him a trump card special warfare division like Jin Wuwei, who had been tempered for thousands of years.

On the other side, the master of the master turned back and perfectly conveyed Qi Zhaohu's meaning to Tuoba Hengbu.

Tuoba said: "Is the other party really so happy? Did that Ming general see through our plan? ”

Blantu said: "No, our Shunyi Department, like Gegemu, has always been a staunch ally of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Gegemu has died for the sake of Daming, which also proves that we grassland herdsmen keep our promises."
