Since Huamachi lit the wolf smoke, Yang Shangyi's troops in Ningxia Town set off with his army, and he actually lost face in the battle three years ago.

The pursuit of the fire sieve was unsuccessful, but on the other hand, Zhou Shangwen became famous in a fight.

Until now, the Emperor's attitude towards the two of them was still affected by that war.

They are all from martial arts, and even he has the support of the old Wei Ningbo Wang Yue, and now it coincides with the use of people by the Son of Heaven, so whether it is for fame or profit, he will do his best in this battle.

The dry wind in the northwest blew two holes in his lips, and as soon as he left Ningxia City far away from the few oases, he was covered with yellow sand.

The army went out of the city, which was actually more dangerous when the Tatars entered the city.

So he didn't walk fast, and the army marched through the castles scattered throughout the yellow sands of the plateau, and occasionally one or a few bare trees could be seen on the ground. The sky is scorching with the sun, not to mention people, even the horses will snort and pant after a few more steps.

A few days later, he received an order from the governor's palace that the Ming army should take Qiu Yue as the vanguard, and at the same time ordered him to move to Lingzhou, close to the Tatars.

Yang Shangyi had also heard of Qiu Yue, but he was only a guerrilla general, and the 3,000 men under his command could be the forward, and he didn't know what the Governor's Mansion was considering.

But military orders are like mountains, and they must not be disobeyed.

In fact, the original military cantonment has indeed been dilapidated, and if you want to have combat effectiveness again, you can only switch to the conscription system, which is the only way for almost every dynasty to go through from prosperity to decline.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the imperial court has allocated quite generous salaries to the army, and the money has opened the way, and there are still many brave men who have joined the army in this difficult place to survive.

Qiu Yue came here like this, and the people who don't harvest at night on the plateau also came like this.

The night does not collect and the Dun army is always the first to face the Tatars.

In order to improve the defense capability of the border army, in fact, since Wang Yue served as the trilateral commander-in-chief, the imperial court has been increasing the salaries and rations of these soldiers.

The so-called dun army is the soldier who guards in the pier, these piers are all over the undulating and undulating, large and small soil slopes, each of which is not large, but the Ming army is relatively densely built, as long as there is an enemy situation, it will begin to warn.

Especially in Ningxia, the piers have been built to the point that each place is not far apart.

Gan Yuan and his brothers hid on the leeward side of this dirt slope, because the Tatars had already crossed the city of Huamachi, and according to their experience of fighting the enemy for so many years, the Tatars would also send elite squads of swift and brave battles to 'uproot' them.

For the Tatars, only in this way will the follow-up troops march smoothly.

At the same time, it can also hide its whereabouts, otherwise there will be such small fortresses everywhere, and any news will be spied on.

The terrain of this place in Ningxia is a hillside in the east and a hillside in the west, and people are walking between the valleys, and they are bare and have no cover.

For the Dun army and the night Bushu, as long as they were discovered by the Tatars on horseback, they were either killed or shot to death. It's hard to run.

Of course, this is in the past.

In the past two years, the offense and defense have gradually changed shape, and the general military palace has brought them decent war horses, and also sent sturdy warriors, of course, including more silver.

Now that it's time to take a knife, it's not a good idea to back down.

It's getting late, and it's time for the night to be active.

Gan Yuan and his brothers stuffed the hard cake with sand into their mouths and chewed it, and after eating, they had to suck their rough and hard fingers twice, and then squatted down and said: "Tonight we will go in the direction of Xingwusho, after passing the Huamachi, even if the Tatars do not go to Xingwusho, they will send troops there." There, there's meat! ”

Before the great war, it was first of all that they, the scouts, came into contact with each other and fought each other.

Tying up their swords and leading their horses, eight men with big shoulders and round waists walked into the valley under the cover of night.

In the summer time, there was no wind and no rain, Gan Yuan led his brothers all the way to the northeast, and in the night, it looked like a few black dots moving between the mountains.

There is also the sound of emptiness in the open land.

"Boss! I heard that the Ningxia soldiers came out, and this time the ministry is going to beat the Tartars hard! ”

"The sky has changed, now it is not the past, the small soldiers of the Yuquan battalion back then have now become guerrilla generals. The court is ruthless and smashes a lot of silver on these people, just to make the Tatars suffer! ”

These voices swept past Gan Yuan's ears, and he didn't say a word after listening to them.

But there was a deep hatred in those dark eyes.

Three years have passed, and the Tatars have returned.

For him, there is not only national hatred, but also family hatred to be avenged. Last year, his brother was a soldier who died in the fighting.

At that time, the Son of Heaven seemed to attach more importance to the bereavement than before, but the silver in exchange was like irony.

After marching all night, until the early morning of the second day, several of them hid in the narrow mountain crevices.

But halfway through the water, someone noticed that something was wrong.

"There's wolf smoke!"

A big man pointed in the direction of Xingwu.

Immediately after that, several people leaned over, and from the smoke straight up, they could see the picture of the gun being stuck obliquely and the corpse lying sideways.

Gan Yuan said calmly: "Bring the horses in and put your mouth shut." We set off after a one-hour break. Go to Xingwusho. ”

When resting against the stone wall, he thought about it carefully, the Tatars generally did not easily attack all kinds of military fortresses built by the Ming army, and there was a thousand households in the Xingwu Institute.

The Tatar army should not have come here on purpose.

Most likely, it is still a small force that has broken up.

The battle between the two armies is like this, it is not a large corps that uses any refueling tactics with each other, in fact, the Tatar soldiers have strong individual ability, and their riding skills are very exquisite, and they always have the advantage in this kind of small-scale encounter, often a squad of dozens of people, and the Ming army does not dare to pursue easily.

But if Gan Yuan just wants to live, he can not come here to get this military salary.

Two hours later, eight men and eight horses reappeared on the bare hillside.

The Xingwu Station was so close that they could even see the piers set up here as they went, and of course, the corpses.

Shout!!

A sharp sound of breaking the air came from behind him, and he sat down and stepped forward as if he had combat experience, neighing and stepping away.

As soon as Gan Yuan turned around, six people in brown armor, with fleshy faces and shirtless faces, appeared in sight.

"It's a Tartar!"

Gan Yuan still didn't speak, but his thick hand had already grabbed the handle of the knife beside his leg.

The sun was dazzling, and the yellow sand was splashed by the horses' hooves.

"Get the bounty money!"

Don't say a word of nonsense, hit when you see it!

The hostile atmosphere between the Ming and Mongolian sides has penetrated into the bone marrow of almost every soldier in the border area, and more than ten years of fighting have made the battle not need any nonsense.

In a way, it's like a silent movie.

The reins were grasped in hand, the broadsword was raised, the military uniform was fluttering, and the process of charging was simple and direct, until the moment of engagement, as if all hearing had been restored.

"Kill!"

The battlefield action is not elegant, it opens and closes, and what you can cut is what you can get!

"Come again! Take their dog's life!! ”

Gan Yuan finally roared!

"Up!!"

The Tatars also seemed excited, and although there was some surprise in their eyes, the victories of the past gave them plenty of confidence.

Gan Yuan caught the middle person, and it was a vertical split to go up with the horse's belly!

Tartar raised his knife to block, he had a lot of strength, and wanted to bounce away immediately to counterattack.

However, he lifted it and found that it could not be lifted. So horror flashed on his face, and then he looked at Gan Yuan with an arrogant expression.

"Ahh

Gan Yuan's arm pressed down hard, pressing the tartar so that he couldn't move, and then reversed the knife edge in an instant, pulling it horizontally!

Pillars of blood gushing!

A human head with its eyes still open floats in the air.

The companion beside Gan Yuan grabbed it with the tip of his knife, flipped his wrist, and the human head had fallen into the coarse cloth on his chest.

"Boss! This one is beautifully cut! ”

Gan Yuan ignored it, his fierce face turned around, and he stared at the others again.

There was blood on the knife, he picked it up and licked it, and said, "This is Da Ming!" Come in on horseback with a weapon, and be prepared to have your head cut off! ”

The remaining five Tatar soldiers probably felt that something was wrong.

However, in the name of a warrior, there is no one here.

"Kill!!"

……

……

In the Tatar barracks.

The fire sieve is also discussing the military situation with the generals.

At some point, the curtain was lifted, and a soldier fell down on one knee to deliver the newspaper.

He only glanced at this military report and began to frown.

By the time the other people in the tent finished reading, the atmosphere was not lively.

“…… This time, the Ming army was different from the past. ”

That's the biggest feeling.

As an experienced general, if there is anything abnormal on the battlefield, he will know it by smelling it. Since he crossed the Great Wall with his troops, his army has successively attacked Huamachi City, Xingwusho, and various piers and small forts.

Of course, it was not with all the military strength, and it was not necessary in the first place, his warriors were not used to siege the city.

However, this time is indeed different from the previous ones, even three years ago, the Ming army did not dare to go out of the city to fight easily, let alone meet a battle of this scale of dozens or hundreds of people.

This time it's all there.

"Could it be that Hashtu was defeated in Xingwu?!" One person couldn't help but ask.

"No defeat. killed more than 70 Ming troops, and lost half of his own. Hashtu took a hundred men with him. On the way back, six people were lost. ”

This record is not a defeat. But one problem is obvious.

"We can't make such an exchange with the Ming army, the Great Khan said that the current little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is determined to kill us, and the wolf smoke of Huamachi will definitely have Ming troops from all over the country rush here to support."

There is no need for the generals to say this, and the fire sieve also knows it, but as a commander, he clearly knows that his biggest threat is Yang Shangyi, the general soldier of Ningxia. If you don't get rid of this cavalry unit, the more things they grab, the more burdensome they will be.

Huo Sieve turned around and asked: "Before, you all said that Ningxia soldiers were afraid of us because they walked slowly, but now the one surnamed Yang has stopped in Lingzhou." Is this really scaring us? ”

"Maybe you're waiting for support. In short, whether he wants to come out or not, we have to force him to come out, Lingzhou can't grab it, and other places can grab it. If he sits idly by, the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty will also dispose of him in the future. ”

So far, it seems that he can only force him, 40,000 against more than 10,000, and he can only rest assured after eating Ningxia Binghuo.

So he waved his hand,

"Send Tuku to fight a few beautiful battles around the county seat of Lingzhou! If you call him out, you will die, and if you don't come out, you will die! See what he does! ”

The so-called fighting a few beautiful battles is to rob the population, livestock, money and food! The men are killed, the women are snatched, and those who can't be taken away are burned with fire!

It's more early today, and there's more in the evening. It's been a bit of a waste these days, sorry.
