"Father, the Ming people have divided their troops."

Seeing that the Ming cavalry with only a shadow in the distance was split in two, Bai Ma turned to Su Keqi beside him, obviously asking him what to do.

"Baima, don't think about asking everything, the eagles on the grassland won't ask their companions how to hunt."

"Yes, Father." Bai Ma bit her lip, and wanted to say that she was a daughter who was going to be married off by you, where is the eagle? But in the end, he didn't dare to say it to dislike him.

Su Keqi, who was extremely strong and handsome, looked at the generals beside him: "Zhuo Yi, take five hundred people and catch up." ”

The young general nodded in response, just gave a whistle, and then led his five hundred cavalry to chase the Ming people who were heading southwest.

Bai Ma, who followed Su Keqi to inspect the front line, had already given up asking his father how he was going to play with these Ming people, and looked into the distance silently, she had never liked the timid and lustful eldest son of the Warat Taishi, but who would have thought that she would have to spend her life with him in the future?

Probably sensing Bai Ma's sullenness, Su Keqi smiled: "In two months, you will marry to the royal court, and there are some things I should tell you." ”

"Yes."

Su Keqi waved his horsewhip and urged the horses under him not to be lazy, while falling into deep thought: "Over there in the royal court, I haven't been there much over the years, and you know that the Khan of the grassland shouldn't be the lazy one, but he is indeed a person with the pure blood of our Golden Family... If you can, I'd like you to repair our relationship. ”

Seeing what his daughter wanted to say, Su Keqi raised his hand to stop her: "Baima, over the years, I have always let you live freely, but you are a little too willful!" I don't care if you want to learn the things of the Ming people, you have to go to Dadu to see, and you want to say those whimsical things to our people, but don't forget, you are my Su Keqi's daughter, and you have a responsibility to bear! ”

His tone was very harsh: "Learn to accept reality!" Although this is Akito's statement, it is very good! Don't try to overturn my decision, and don't make small moves to disappoint me! ”

Bai Ma's face was pale, and her head hung deeply, although she knew that those futile resistance was a little ridiculous, but when these words came out of her father's mouth, how could they be so... It's uncomfortable.

Is it true that women can only marry? Can't you even choose the partner you want to spend your life with?

And what about the pride of the Golden Family? What about the dream of returning to the Central Plains? Didn't you teach me these words, Father? You spurned that waste khan and that ambitious master, so why did you use me to repair relations with them?

She replied sullenly: "Got it, father... I'll get married. ”

Su Keqi bowed his head with satisfaction, and his tone seemed to become higher and lower as the horse galloped: "When you get to the royal court, don't be so willful, let alone make any trouble!" Remember, even if you are my Sukeqi's daughter, you can't give that person a look, you have to think about the overall situation! ”

"Father, all of this is for Da Yuan," Bai Ma raised his head and finally asked bravely, "It's valuable for me to marry, right?" ”

Sukeqi's face flushed with anger, which after a moment turned bitter again, and finally to calm.

He said lightly: "Yes." ”

.....

"Where has the army gone?"

The first thing Gu Huai, who woke up from the horse in a daze, did was to ask about the current situation.

The last scene I saw before passing out was that the Ming cavalry successfully broke through, and the Mongolian cavalry screaming behind them followed closely, and then it was dark in front of him, and Gu Huai, who woke up, saw the environment he was in, listened to the sound of horses' hooves like thunder in his ears, and looked at the solemn faces of those soldiers, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Your Excellency is awake!" Chen Ping, who had been closely guarding Gu Huai's side, had a happy face, and he had been leading Gu Huai's horse to slow down his horse: "My lord, you fainted for a day, and the army has already walked more than a hundred miles!" ”

"More than a hundred miles?" Gu Huai barely stood up, "What about the Mongolian cavalry?" ”

Chen Ping licked his lips, he had been so nervous, and he was also a little haggard: "I have been lagging behind me before, and now... There is no news now. ”

"If there is no news, why march? The horses can't hold it anymore, let them rest! Gu Huai only felt that he had a splitting headache, and his entire left arm was numb, "Did the Mongolian cavalry chase it away?" ”

Chen Ping opened his lips, he couldn't speak for a long time, he whipped the horse whip to the horses under him: "There are five hundred horses!" The Mongol cavalry is afraid that they are chasing them! ”

"Ridiculous! It's not that there is no strength to fight," Gu Huai exhaled fiercely, "It's only five hundred, what's the difference between being sent to death?" Raise the flag and let the generals come and meet me! ”

The grassroots officers on the left and right flanks quickly arrived closer, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Gu Huai had finally woken up.

Fortunately, he only fainted for one day, and if he fainted again, I am afraid that even if the Ming cavalry ran out, their morale would be dispersed.

No matter how much they looked down on this young scholar before, now they can only identify one thing, the three teams in the Ming cavalry army, Chen Ping Qianhusuo, Yan army cavalry, Duoyan Sanwei, only this person in front of them can command them all.

And that mysterious grenade... Seeing that Gu Huai wanted to get off the horse, Chen Ping's expression was grim: "My lord, the injury..."

"Don't get in the way, let's talk about the present first," Gu Huai's face turned a little red, and he shook his head to keep himself awake, "What's the situation?" ”

"After the five hundred Yan cavalry is broken, they have fallen behind, and the Mongol cavalry should be in hot pursuit of them; The scouts of the rear army are all scattered, and now they are gone; The Khita Department was damaged in the first battle..."Chen Ping was silent for a moment, "There are more than five hundred people, and now there are less than four thousand cavalry left. ”

Gu Huai shook his horse, Chen Ping hurriedly wanted to go up and hold on, Gu Huai waved his hand to stop his movements: "Pass my military order, the whole army rests!" ”

"Your Excellency!" Not only those officers, but even Chen Ping pulled the reins of his horse, a little anxious, "No, my lord!" Five hundred cavalry broke off before they ran out, and if they stopped, they would soon catch up! ”

"Since you are going to be caught up, then don't think about running anymore," Gu Huai tightened the bandage on his left hand around his neck, and his eyes were cold: "The whole army dismounts, buries the pot and cooks, and recovers the horsepower!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded anymore, Chen Ping could only wave his horsewhip fiercely and signal the others to give orders.

The galloping Ming cavalry slowly stopped, and the news of the boss's awakening spread throughout the army, and the Ming cavalry, who had looked down on Gu Huai before, were cheering at the moment, this young commander was able to bring them here, to take them to fight the two tribes, and to take them out of the siege, and he had already won their trust and respect.

The military order to bury the pot and cook was passed down, all the Ming cavalry hula dismounted, wisps of cooking smoke began to rise in the grassland, the military order was like a mountain, even if there were many people slandering the Mongols at the moment behind them, they also honestly ate hot food, and the war horses began to bow their heads to eat grass and recover their strength.

Chen Ping helped Gu Huai get off the horse, sat on the grass again, and inadvertently touched Gu Huai's forehead, Chen Ping was shocked: "My lord, you have a fever!" ”

Gu Huai shook his head: "It's okay, pass the order, take back the scouts of the front army, and send them all out to the back!" Let all the officers of more than 100 households who are still alive come to the discussion! ”

His expression was extremely cold, he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely to keep himself awake, and looked at the way he came: "I ran for more than a hundred miles... Probably they think we're used to running. ”

……

"Your Majesty, the former army has sent news that the Ming army's army has run away!" A general waved his horsewhip fiercely and caught up with Su Keqi in front.

Su Keqi's face did not change: "If you lose it, you will lose it, there are more than ten tribes in the west, and the Ming people can't run far, just eat these five hundred people." ”

"How did my father know that the Ming people would definitely go west?" Bai Ma had already broken free from her lost emotions and asked curiously.

"Because these Ming people are different," Su Keqi explained to his brother seriously, "If it were ordinary Ming people, they might run around us, but these Ming people... It's weird. ”

He looked up into the distance: "Judging from the traces left before, these Ming people came around the battlefield and passed through the outer grasslands, and the three tribes that were attacked were all sent this time, if the Khita didn't stop them, the next one must be one of the tribes that sent troops." ”

Sukeqi raised the whip in one direction.

The generals who followed beside him pulled the reins of their horses fiercely, their faces full of disbelief: "They are here for revenge?" ”

"It should be," Su Keqi's expression was also a little surprised, "we are slaughtering their city, and they are coming to harass our rear, isn't this revenge?" I really didn't expect Akito to have such courage. ”

"Father is saying that these thousands of Ming people have walked half of the grassland just to take revenge?" The more Bai Ma thought about it, the more outrageous he felt, "They just ordered people like this, are they here to send them to death?" ”

Su Keqi did not answer, but called a general: "You take people and chase down the footprints!" I'm going to go to the front and see if I can stop those Ming people! ”

The hundred households on the horse bowed respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Su Keqi pulled the reins of his horse and began to gallop towards the west, and the rest of the generals hurriedly followed, just a whistle, and dozens of guards came out of the ranks and rode forward together.

Leaving behind the 1,000 Mongolian cavalry, Su Keqi turned his head to look at the cowering herdsman in the crowd: "Say what you said, the new weapon of the Ming people, again." ”

"Yes." At the mention of this, a trace of fear crossed the herdsman's eyes.

He lowered his body to reduce the resistance caused by the wind, and seemed to be a little chilly: "It's an explosive thing, it's very small, those Ming people can throw it far away without much effort, I saw a herdsman pick one up, and it was immediately blown to pieces." ”

The herdsman shuddered, as if the person who was blown up was him: "The Ming people threw a lot, many people were killed, and the people who had just come out of the tent were frightened, and watched the Ming cavalry rush in blankly." ”

Su Keqi glanced at the herdsman suspiciously, he originally thought that the news he had heard about the Yan King before was a bit exaggerated, and in connection with the news received on this day, could these Ming cavalry be the subordinates of the Yan King? And they have the confidence to take revenge... Are these weapons?

So the Ming cavalry, who usually didn't dare to go deep into the grassland, dared to be so angry? Only then do you dare to run all the way to the tribe, and the route is obvious?

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Interesting..."
