Hearing this letter suddenly, the two Timurs were stunned for a while. Hong Boyan Timur, whose brain was spinning faster, suddenly had a spirit, "Quick, quick, prepare the horse!" ”

"Let Ma Jun prepare, follow me out of the customs to chase and kill!"

"Will there be fraud?" Gao Basi Timur asked.

"No, it won't." Hong Boyan Timur took the weapon handed by a Yuan soldier, and his tone was firm: "If they have sufficient troops, it is a good way to only go around one and then attack back and forth." Now that the two are fleeing to the gap together, this must be cowardice! Then he turned his head and instructed: "You lead people to guard the wall." As long as it is not the belly and back of the enemy, the Ming army will not be able to eat the Shanhaiguan. ”

Gao Basi Timur nodded, and watched Hong Boyan Timur open the gate and go to pursue the Ming army.

Just in case, Hong Boyan Timur took 5,000 horse troops and 15,000 infantry troops, a total of 20,000 people, and went to the west of Shanhaiguan in a panic. On the way, a leader of the Yuanren Tanma asked: "My lord, the Ming army fled at night, we are a step late after all, can we catch up?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Hong Boyan Timur's eyes shone slightly. "The Ming army did not take the right road, but a remote mountain road. The mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and it is bound to be not fast. ”

"We pursued from the main road, and we did more with less. By the way, have you seen the princes of the Zhu family, which army are they in? ”

"Your Excellency." The leader of the horse replied: "In the front army of the Ming army, there is the carriage and the cover of the Ming prince. ”

"Front Army." Hong Boyan Timur was even more determined. "I'll just say it. I have dealt with Ye Wang in Liaodong for a long time, this person has always been fierce and brave, and today he will take the road and escape. ”

"Come to think of it, it must be the dolls of the Zhu family who are greedy for life and afraid of death, forcing Ye Wang to escape. The reason why the army is divided into two parts must be that they want to keep one and send the army to death after it is broken. ”

He shook his head and sighed and indignantly for Ye Wang, an old opponent. But after all, he still showed a hideous expression: "Order the whole army to hurry!" Let's go around to the front to set up an ambush and capture those Zhu family dolls first! ”

"With those Zhu Ming dolls in hand, the Ming army behind the palace will not attack itself."

Hong Boyan Timur's desire to go around to the front was also deliberate. In the past, the Yuan army that broke through Shanhaiguan was actually led by him. Therefore, he had a clear idea of the situation of the mountain path behind the gap.

The difficulty of the mountain road is one thing, because if it is difficult to walk, the Ming army must march slowly. But he walked the official road, and the speed was much faster than that of the Ming army.

Second, where the mountain road converges into the main road, he Hong Boyan Timur also knows by heart. He even thought about the location of the ambush: there are two dangerous places on the official road west of Shanhaiguan, "Hulukou" and "Eagle's Beak Gorge", although these two names have been used in the roads of various places in China, but as long as it is the boundary that can be called these two names, it all shows that the terrain here is steep, and it is an excellent place to set up an ambush and destroy the enemy.

Although the "gourd mouth" is more precipitous, it is an ambush here before the mountain road merges into the official road, and it will miss the Ming army. However, the "Eagle's Beak Gorge" is located behind the entrance of the confluence, and it is appropriate to set up an ambush in this place.

Hong Boyan Timur took an army of 20,000 yuan and hurried all the way along the official road to the Eagle's Beak Gorge. After arriving, he first sent a scout horse to check whether there were any traces of a large number of Ming troops marching. After a while, the horse returned, and sure enough, there was nothing unusual, and the Ming army had not had time to get here.

"Everything was as your adults expected." The surrounding generals slapped their ass.

"Hmph, I've already figured it out. It would take at least another hour for the Ming army to get here. Hong Boyan Timur looked at the road with deep eyes, but his expression could not be suppressed.

"Those children of the Zhu family must never have imagined that our army had already gone around to the front of them. Even the children dare to compete with me, this time it depends on how they die. ”

"Your Excellency is about to make a great achievement, I will congratulate you!" A group of generals said in unison.

The 20,000 people set up an ambush in the Eagle's Beak Gorge, and after a while, there was a report from the front: "My lord, the Ming army has come from the front, and it is only five miles away from here!" ”

"Your Excellency, it's really clever!" Someone continued to pat the horse.

Hong Boyan Timur was stunned. Because according to his previous estimates, the Ming army should be at least an hour away from here. And now, only half an hour has passed.

Why did this Ming army move so fast?

"The Ming army is only a mile away!" There is also a newspaper from the Malay Explorer.

In Hong Boyan Timur's field of vision, he had already seen several banners and covers of the Ming prince, as well as those extremely dazzling carriages. At this time, it was too late to think more, Hong Boyan Timur stood up and pulled out a scimitar and shouted: "Rush me!" Those who capture the prince of the Zhu family alive will be rewarded with thousands of cattle and sheep, and one hundred taels of gold! ”

All of a sudden, the torches and flags on the Eagle's Beak Gorge were made, and the Yuan army shouted loudly and rushed down towards the Ming army on the official road.

……

"Your Highness." In the middle of the mountain road, Ru Taisu asked Zhu Su with a leisurely expression with a tiger face. "Why doesn't Your Highness speed up the march? The Ye command post in front of him had already disappeared without a trace. ”

"With the two armies so far apart, how can they deal with each other?"

"The old minister begs His Highness to order the march to be accelerated. If it goes on like this, in case it is broken by the Yuan army......"

"Don't worry, old Rutou." Zhu Su, who was sitting on the horse, was still graceful. "Then Ye Wang is obviously dissatisfied with us, even if the rapid march is close to the front, can he guarantee that he will come to the rescue of us?"

"Besides, you look around us first...... These soldiers borrowed from Dingliaowei did not have a high sense of identification with us, and most of them were already demoralized. At this time, if you force yourself to order a rapid march, you are afraid that these 5,000 Dingliao guards will take advantage of the night to escape without a trace. ”

"This ......" Ru Taisu froze when he heard this, and then said with annoyance: "Your Highness's forced request to pull out the camp and go to the battle is really a bad move. It should be like the Suzhou Wei at that time, after completely letting Dingliaowei return to his heart, he should then pull out the camp and take action......"

"It's not that easy." Zhu Su shook his head. Ye Wang kept asking for battle, pressing him for a few days, and this king had done his best. If I suppress it again, I'm afraid that Dingliaowei will mutiny."

"Besides, our army's food and grass are already insufficient, and there is no time to slowly subdue it."

“…… Rather than this, it is better to follow Ye Wang's mentality of being anxious to fight, and plan the plan......"

"Your Highness has made up your mind?" Ru Taisu was shocked, and asked Zhu Su in great surprise. Zhu Su smiled slightly, and was about to explain, when Zhang He and Chang Mao, who were going to explore the way, leaned over: "Your Highness, you are already about to arrive at the entrance of the official road." ”

"Okay." Zhu Su nodded. "Pass the order, the whole army will turn around after stepping on the official road and march in the direction of Shanhaiguan!"

"Yes!" Zhang He, Chang Mao, and even Zhu Di, Zhu Fan and others were all excited.

"Turn to Shanhaiguan?" Ru Taisu was stunned.

"His Royal Highness deliberately let Ye Wangbu lure the enemy far ahead, could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the front army was dragging the Yuan army and reflexively attacked Shanhaiguan?" He also quickly realized something, and he couldn't help but shake his body. Then a new doubt arises: "But...... Shanhaiguan is Xiongguan, but there are only a few thousand people in our waiting. Even if the Shanhaiguan at this time is really empty, even with our people, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture ......"

"Old Rutou, who said that the so-called Xiongguan can only be attacked with the lives of soldiers?"

"Why do you think this king dragged Ye Wang and didn't get up and pull out the camp until these days?" Zhu Su stretched out the folding fan on the horse, and on the folding fan, there were four wild grass characters of "don't talk about martial arts".

"It's because the weather is dry these days, and you need to be careful of the candles......"
