This time, Qi Jiguang brought 5,000 cavalry, which was given by Ding Rukui after repeatedly weighing Yan Song's orders and Jiajingdi's hints.

According to Yan Song's order, it must be given as few soldiers as possible, the older the better, and it is best for everyone to carry a crutch.

Of course, Yan Song definitely can't say that this is to make Xiao Feng easier to be killed, and he also has a high-sounding reason - the sky and the earth are big, the safety of the capital is the greatest, and the safety of the land is the first! No one can refute this, and whoever dares to refute it is intending to rebel!

But Jiajing deliberately hinted at Ding Rukui, this battle is intended to rush to help, the number of people can be slightly smaller, but the speed must be fast. The implication is that when you go there, you run fast, and if you want to run back, you must be fast.

Ding Rukui deeply understood the spirit of the two leaders, and after weighing it repeatedly, he gave the price of 5,000 cavalry, believing that it would satisfy both sides.

In terms of quantity, Yan Song is satisfied. Judging from the intelligence, this time the Tatars have made a bloody investment, and the number of men and horses dispatched is at least more than 50,000!

If they meet head-on, based on the comparison of the combat power of the Ming Dynasty cavalry and the Tatar cavalry, these 5,000 cavalry are basically annihilated.

What's more, no matter how small the number of people is, it's really not like it, Jiajing's side always has to see it. So Yan Song acquiesced to this arrangement.

Dan Ding Rukui has done a lot of tricks and tricks in quality, these 5,000 cavalry are really elite troops, strong men and horses, absolutely in line with Jiajing's requirements.

If you can't fight, you can run and run, but if you don't have enough to fight, you can escape. As long as Qi Jiguang and Xiao Feng don't have a single heart, it is absolutely no problem to escape when the situation is not good.

There is no problem with the supply, and the grain and grass trucks are the fastest to rotate, and it is not a big problem to keep up with the large army.

If it's really defeated, no one will want it. In wars, throwing grain and grass to the enemy and letting the other party grab it is the only way to escape.

Having said that, Ding Rukui is the secretary of the military department after all, every victory is his achievement, and every defeat is his stain. So he didn't simply think about it according to the ideas of the two leaders.

He calculated, although there are not many support troops, but if Qi Jiguang commands properly, it is not impossible to play a role. At least it is possible to harass and slow down the advance of the Tatars!

After all, there are other passes along the road, and there are defenders in them, and the main task of this reinforcement is mobile rescue, and it does not have to be facing the enemy head-on.

But Ding Rukui made a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that the enemy would know the whereabouts of this cavalry team well, and Qi Jiguang couldn't imagine it.

Who would believe that the person they are desperately trying to protect is the one who stabs themselves in the back?

Therefore, after entering the territory of Miyun, Qi Jiguang was almost made dumplings by the Tatars. A cavalry team of 10,000 people ambushed the line between Miyun City and Gubeikou, preparing to wipe out this support army.

The reason why only 10,000 troops were used was that, on the one hand, out of Altan Khan's absolute self-confidence, he thought that 10,000 Tatar cavalry was more than enough to deal with 5,000 Ming cavalry.

On the other hand, due to economic issues. Altan Khan had just broken through Gubeikou and was plundering the surrounding towns and villages.

And looting requires manpower, Gubeikou was only breached, not completely occupied, and the Ming defenders were not completely annihilated.

It was these two factors that made the siege a success. Qi Jiguang, who was extremely alert, accurately judged that there might be an ambush through the abnormality of the birds in the mountains and forests, so he quickly ordered a retreat.

If the Tatars had 20,000 cavalry, they could attack Qi Jiguang from all sides and force the encirclement. But they had only 10,000 cavalry, so they could only form a semi-encircled state to pursue.

Qi Jiguang was in danger and ordered two teams of 1,000 people to occupy the hillsides on both sides first, and muskets and arrows were shot at the opponent's pursuing arrows like no money.

Between Gubeikou and Miyun City, they are all mountainous areas, not plains, so Qi Jiguang's tactics have achieved miraculous results. The 300 or so Tatar cavalrymen who rushed to the front fell to the ground with their horses, blocking the already modest mountain road.

If it was on the plains, the cavalry only needed to lift the reins and rush over with a little winding, without taking a breath. But on this mountain road, there are either hillsides or valleys on either side of the road.

Running slowly around the hillside, and the trees would also greatly reduce the speed of the cavalry; It's fast to go around the valley, but it's fast to die.

Therefore, when the Tatars finally cleared the road, they found that they could not even see the taillights of the other party. Even the 2,000 cavalry who remained on the hillside were almost gone.

This is the credit of Ding Rukui, these horses are running really fast!

But even so, Qi Jiguang was bitten hard, and it took time for the rear team to become the front team, and there were more than 300 cavalrymen shot by the other party.

In this battle, neither side took advantage, but in terms of the number of people, Qi Jiguang obviously couldn't afford to gamble.

Therefore, retreating to a short distance in front of Miyun City, Qi Jiguang ordered to camp and repair. This distance is very particular.

In case the enemy pursues him, he can lure them to the city and use the bows and arrows and cannons of the city defense as a support. As for why he didn't retreat directly into Miyun City, it was Qi Jiguang's experience in leading the troops.

The cavalry fights in the field, and it is necessary to have a bloody bravery, and once it enters the city, the men and horses are easy to lose this strength. Especially the battle that has just been fought, it has not been long, and it is far from the extent that people are sleepy.

But Qi Jiguang ordered most of the grain and grass to be sent into Miyun City, and also asked Xiao Feng to follow the grain and grass into the city.

Xiao Feng squinted at him: "What's the matter, General Qi, do you think I'm too cumbersome?" ”

Qi Jiguang waved his hand again and again: "It's nothing, it's just a battle against the enemy, it's not your strength, your strength lies in strategy, not tactics." You are in Miyun City, you can calm down and think, and you can also help defend the city. ”

Xiao Feng looked at him with a smile and didn't speak, until he saw that Qi Jiguang was a little overwhelmed.

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, when I went to the military department to receive the talisman, Lord Ding told me, long live the secret decree, let me keep you back safely no matter what.

My good big brother, you just let me save some snacks and go into town. Let Zhang Wuxin follow you. By the way, what about Zhang Wuxin? I didn't see him after the breakthrough just now, he couldn't have run away, right? ”

Xiao Feng shook off the fan, he is now more and more proficient in this action, and he can see Zhang Yunqing's eyes full of little stars every time.

"I have something for him to do, you don't have to worry about it, anyway, he compensated me, not your sergeant, and it is not a violation.

I ask you, don't you think it's strange to be ambushed this time? ”

Qi Jiguang's face became heavy, he had thought of it a long time ago, but he didn't want to tell Xiao Feng. This is also the reason why he insisted on letting Xiao Feng enter Miyun City.

Although these 5,000 men were selected by Ding Rukui, after all, they were formed into a formation, and it was too easy for them to blend in with the Yan Party.

This is not the case in Miyun City, the guard general Lin Tong was born in the army, and he was already a general soldier, but he was sent to Miyun because he offended the Yan Party.

Miyun is not far from the capital, it is said to be at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but it is high and densely forested, and it is sparsely populated. It is said that the emperor is far away, but it is imminent, and he is always being watched.

There is the Gubeikou in front, which is not considered a front line; There are Changping and Tongxian in the back, which are not suburbs; It is true that even if you can't eat food in the capital, you can't make war money, no one knows if you do a good job, and everyone knows if you can't do a good job.

Therefore, in Miyun City, Lin Tong is definitely not a member of the strict party, and he will not harm Xiao Feng. Even if there are people from the strict party, they can only rely on assassination, which is much safer than in the army.

Xiao Feng's own kung fu is already very good, plus Zhang Wuxin follows, who can assassinate him?

As for not wanting to tell Xiao Feng about this, first, he is afraid that Xiao Feng will feel guilty, after all, Yan Dang was provoked by him, and now Yan Dang does not hesitate to betray Daming's army to kill Xiao Feng, and he is also forced by Xiao Feng from the side. If Qi Jiguang dies in battle with the army, he will also die at the hands of Xiao Feng.

Second, he was afraid that Xiao Feng would lose his temper and refused to enter the city. Qi Jiguang knows too well, Xiao Feng is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and he always looks smiling, but in fact, his bones are harder than anyone else.

At least Qi Jiguang thought that he would definitely not dare to offend Yan Dang to death like this. I am afraid that only Shen Lian has this potential in the circle of friends, and the rest such as Hu Zongxian, Yu Dayou, Zhanyu and the like are estimated to be similar to themselves, and they belong to the players who curse the circle.

At this time, seeing that Xiao Feng was provoking, Qi Jiguang didn't hide it, and said his speculation happily.

"Of course, it can be done to set up an ambush with troops, to anticipate the enemy first, but today's ambush is too ingenious.

I estimate that the enemy knows not only the course of action of our army, but also the specific number of our troops, and even the time of our army's actions.

Those ambush soldiers did not have any dew on their bodies, which means that they arrived at the time and set up an ambush at the time!

This is not a question of using troops, there must be spies within our army. And I think about it, the purpose of being able to do such a betrayal of the army can only be because of you.

So you better enter Miyun City, maybe as soon as you enter the city, the spy will lose the motivation to betray us. ”

The last sentence was of course a joke, but Xiao Feng didn't laugh, but shook his fan and looked at the barracks outside.

"You can't let them lose motivation, otherwise how are you going to catch these spies?"

Some people died, but not completely......
