Ma Gui heard the dissatisfaction in Ye Mengxiong's words, so he had to smile and stop talking.

There was no good way to break the cavalry with foot, Zhang Yun thought of using spearmen to resist the formation, supplemented by musketeers, and before he had time to teach them, they naturally didn't know.

Besides, this alone will not work, and you must have cavalry to counterattack.

Ye Mengxiong naturally knew that what Ma Gui said made sense, but the superintendent sent by his dignified court led an army of nearly 100,000, and he lost nearly 20,000 in one face.

Now, I have to shrink in the city, waiting for the other side to retreat, if this reaches the emperor's ears, I will inevitably be held accountable.

"Elder Ge, prepare early, if you fold it for a while, I'm afraid that Shaanxi and Gansu will be shaken, how will Elder Ge explain to the emperor at that time?" Seeing Ye Mengxiong struggling, Ma Gui spoke again to persuade him.

Ye Mengxiong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, set up camp and confront the rabbit, if the other side dares to attack Lingzhou City, let's attack again." ”

Several general soldiers hurriedly spoke in unison: "The old man is wise. ”

As soon as Ye Mengxiong's military order was given, the armies of the Ming army immediately choked the danger and set up camp.

Because the general soldiers of all walks of life looked like they were separated, and they didn't want to face the two of them, so the camps everywhere kept shrinking back, until Ye Mengxiong came forward and designated the Gansu general soldiers to lead people to the top, and he was unwilling to be at the forefront.

In front of Lingzhou City.

It has been almost a month since the siege of the rabbit and the Tumen, although the early offensive was rapid, but as time went by, the defenders in the city grew up under the baptism of war, and with the youth in the city, they finally held Lingzhou City.

The grain and grass in Lingzhou City are quite sufficient for them, enough for the defenders in the city to eat for more than a month, and by that time, the Rabbit is estimated to have retreated long ago.

At this time, the rabbit and the Tumen watched the Ming army start a shrunken turtle, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

Tumen asked anxiously about countermeasures, "Focus on rabbits, what should we do next?" ”

The rabbit groaned for a while, and then suddenly spoke: "Go!" ”

"Let's go? Let's just go? Tumen exclaimed.

Li Tu smiled at him, and then explained to him: "Let's retreat two hundred miles, and then return, and kill the Ming army by surprise." ”

"No wonder others call you the Prairie Fox, or your brain spins fast." Tumen's eyes lit up, and he punched the rabbit in the shoulder.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then began to plan a retreat route. In order not to make Xiao Ruxun suspicious, Li Rabbit deliberately took advantage of the night to retreat in batches.

Xiao Ruxun in the city looked at the groups of Mongolian cavalry that disappeared into the night, and couldn't help but show joy on his face, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ruxun walked quickly to the city, and saw that all the big tents on the opposite side had dissipated, "Hahaha... We've won, we've won! I couldn't help but let out a long roar in the sky.

The surrounding soldiers were infected by him, and at the same time, they waved their weapons and let out a roar. "We've won, we've won!"

The surviving soldiers hugged each other and wept, they won, they repelled the enemy, how many Paozawa brothers were bloodstained on the battlefield in this battle, and after their comrades fell, they had no time to grieve, so they had to take up arms and continue to take the position of their brothers.

Now, they have finally won, and they finally have time to pay tribute to their dead brothers.

Xiao Ruxun did not hesitate, ordered the soldiers to collect the corpses, and then called the heralds, "Go, tell the chief soldier, and say that the rabbit has retreated." ”

As soon as the herald gave up his hand to Xiao Ruxun, he went down to the city and rode his horse in the direction of Ye Mengxiong.

In the evening, the herald finally rushed to Ye Mengxiong's Chinese army camp. After informing the gatekeeper, he was immediately taken to the tent.

As soon as he entered the commander's tent, the herald immediately knelt down and arched his hand: "I have seen all the adults, and I have come to tell you that the rabbit has retreated under the order of General Xiao." ”

Hearing this, Ye Mengxiong and the others showed joy on their faces.

The general soldiers hurriedly congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the elder pavilion, congratulations to the elder pavilion, now the rabbit is retreating, and the elder pavilion is strategizing, and it is a great achievement." ”

Ye Mengxiong couldn't help but blush when he heard the praise of several general soldiers.

"Ahem......" Ye Mengxiong coughed, interrupting the praise of the commanders. Immediately afterwards, he issued a military order and ordered the army to immediately pull out the camp and go to Lingzhou City.

I started in the evening, walked for a while, and then stopped. Ye Mengxiong was also worried that the Rabbit was retreating, so he carefully sent scouts to explore the way.

After the scouts looked around and found that there was no sign of the Mongol cavalry, they hurried back to the camp.

"Report to your lordship, there is no trace of the rabbit within a radius of 100 miles."

"Okay, let's go down and rest first."

That night, Ye Mengxiong lay down in bed early and began to think about the next road.

Although he was lucky enough to force the rabbit to retreat, but he has not made an inch of merit now, and he has also lost his troops, if Wanli knows, how can this be good.

"Alas, if only I had killed the monk." Ye Mengxiong secretly regretted in his heart, when he learned that Zhang Yun's subordinates had killed the leader of the slaughtering monk, he couldn't help but be envious, this was a great achievement.

"Wait, why can't I kill it? Zhang Yun is also nominally under my command, and when the time comes, he will say that he was sent to Huamachi, and this credit will not give me a share. ”

In order to exonerate himself, Ye Mengxiong had to take the idea of Zhang Yun's credit. However, there is no way, Ye Mengxiong is the commander-in-chief of the imperial court reinforcements this time, Zhang Yun belongs to his subordinates, and his subordinates will naturally share some profits if they make meritorious contributions.

Thinking that he could get out of danger safely this time, Ye Mengxiong's tense nerves were finally relaxed, and he fell asleep after a while.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Mengxiong woke up early, washed up, and began to urge the army to pull out of the city.

Different from the situation when he was cowering, now the armies from all walks of life want to be the vanguard, wanting to be the first to enter Lingzhou City and snatch the first credit for relieving the siege of Lingzhou.

Ye Mengxiong snorted, and then took his own Chinese army battalion to take the lead.

Several general soldiers looked at each other, and when they saw Ye Mengxiong's self-surrendered identity and compete with them for this credit, they had to sigh helplessly, and then slowly followed.

In the evening of the same day, Ye Mengxiong followed the cavalry of the 3,000 battalion into Lingzhou City. Ye Mengxiong looked at the heads of countless Mongolians, and couldn't help but smile even more, this is all a real credit.

When the time comes, when I report to the top, I will say that more than 10,000 people have been beheaded, which is a monstrous achievement, what is the loss of some people?

It's just a pity that the Tumen and the Rabbit are gone, if you can capture the Tumen, it will be a great achievement.

After taking the benefits of Xiao Ruxun, Ye Mengxiong naturally would not be stingy, and directly waved his hand and promised him, "General Xiao, this time Lingzhou was besieged, I will remember your first credit!" ”

"Thank you, thank you." Xiao Ruxun hurriedly responded.

Ye Mengxiong patted him on the shoulder, walked down the city, and went straight to the mansion of Lingzhou City.

Ma Gui and the others were swaying in the back, and in the evening of the same day, there was still a short distance from Lingzhou City, Ma Gui urged his subordinates to speed up, who had not listened to his subordinates.

Ma Gui had no choice but to shout: "Go a little further, and we will camp and rest." ”

Seeing Magui's compromise, the soldiers naturally couldn't help but give face, so they had to go forward for a while, and then they began to set up camp.

The other two general troops advanced and retreated with Ma Gui, and arrived at the same time, and there were still seventy miles left from Lingzhou City at this time.

"Don't be careless tonight, the dark whistle, the open whistle, and the camp are all built for me." Ma Gui was in the middle of the big tent and began to give instructions to his subordinates.

"My lord, are you too careful, the Mongols have retreated, why are we bothering so much?" Several lieutenants replied with a smile.

Ma Gui's old face sank, and he glared at a few lieutenants, "You just have to do it, there are so many words there." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The adjutant nodded again and again, and then walked out of the big tent.

As soon as they stepped out of the tent, some people began to complain.

"You say, did the chief soldier be too careful?"

"Yes, this is a lot of time, and the other two soldiers and horses can't laugh at us."

"Do you want to be beaten? Dare to talk about the commander-in-chief here. ”

“......”

When the other two soldiers and horses had already started cooking, while the Ningxia army was still building the camp gate, it was inevitably ridiculed by the other two roads.

This made Ningxia Jun's face hot, and many people were still in a mood, and it was best for Magui to come forward in person, so he suppressed it.

At the end of the night, the Ningxia army finally had a hot meal, and after eating, they returned to their camp tents and fell asleep.

Tonight, when the moon was in the sky, a hundred miles away, there was a team of tens of thousands of cavalry galloping towards Lingzhou City.

They are the Li Rabbit and others who have gone and returned, and they have run for two hundred miles tonight, wanting to launch a surprise attack on the Ming army in the fourth watch, once they succeed, the entire border of the Ming Dynasty will be shaken.

At this time, Tumen and the Rabbit were at the front of the queue, their eyes were blazing, and they kept beating the war horse under the crotch, urging the war horse to speed up.
