Just when the battle under the city was becoming more and more anxious, and the Ming army was in a bitter battle, a cavalry was suddenly killed from the flank of the Tatar army.

The iron riders rolled and whistled like the wind.

The number of people is not very large, only about 1,000, but the momentum of the sky is rushing to the face.

First, a young man dressed as a general, drew his sword and pointed at it, and led his cavalry straight into the Tatar army.

The Tatar flanks were taken by surprise and were in disarray, and small-scale riots and even retreats began.

Jiang Ning looked up to the sky and laughed, clenching his fists excitedly.

It's just that the young general has an iron armor and iron face, and he can't see his face clearly, so he turned his head and asked the hundred households of Victory Fort on the side:

"Who is this general?"

"Lord Hui, it is General Wang Shouren, who was ordered by General Yang to lead his troops to garrison the victory pass several miles away as a horn."

"I see."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but nod in praise.

Although Wang Shouren at this time has not yet fully grown into Mr. Yangming in the future, his ability to be both civil and military is still admirable.

And with the addition of this forward cavalry. The Tatar formation was quickly cut through the middle, and the front and back could not be echoed.

The rear army began to retreat, and the front army besieging the city had no support, and its morale was greatly reduced, and it became cattle and sheep slaughtered by the Ming soldiers at will.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao had already recovered from the shock, and couldn't help muttering:

"Sure enough, it's right to listen to Jiang Shi, this Yang Yiqing and Wang Shouren are really two great talents."

Seeing that the siege was a failure, the little prince who led the troops clenched his teeth and gave the order to retreat with difficulty.

The Tatar army suddenly retreated like a tidal wave.

The Ming troops above and below the city cheered, and laughter resounded in the sky.

The little prince took the leaders of the various departments back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after sitting on the main seat, he slapped the case suddenly, and said hatefully:

"These Han people in the Central Plains are not upright at all, and they are used to carving insects.

If it had been a head-on battle, my steppe warriors would have slaughtered them cleanly! ”

The head of the Chahar tribe hesitated for a moment, then suggested:

"Great Khan, the battle situation is like this, let's retreat to the steppe first.

The grain and grass we had plundered had been exhausted, and the cattle and sheep we had brought were almost exhausted, and the warriors could not hold on any longer. ”

The little prince's eyes were blood-red, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon and looked around at everyone present:

"Why, do you all think like that?

A bunch of gutsless things!

We have gathered warriors and come out for several months, and we have not gained any decent harvest, how can we go back and meet the tribesmen of the grassland! ”

After that, he looked at the first middle-aged man again, stared at him and said, "Fire sieve, what do you think?" ”

The fire sieve took a sip of mare's milk wine, spit out a mouthful of turbid breath and said slowly:

"Great Khan, our warriors are getting tired day by day, their morale is also declining, and their combat strength is not an inch.

It's just that in the end, everything has to be decided. ”

"Humph!"

The leader of the Tumut tribe snorted coldly and said:

"Fire Sieve, do you still have the face to talk about us? Of all the tribes present, you suffered the fewest casualties.

Whenever they engage the Ming army, they will deliberately avoid your troops and never take the initiative to attack.

After a few battles, three or four percent of the warriors of our tribes died, but you are still intact!

Hehe, where cause and effect are involved, you might explain? ”

The fire sieve was furious, and shouted:

"What do you mean? Could it be that I suspect that I am secretly colluding with the Ming army? ”

"I didn't say that. But you know in your own heart. ”

"Okay, stop arguing."

The little prince stopped the two from arguing, and said:

"Ben Khan believed in the fire sieve, he was the bravest warrior of the steppe, and would never do such a thing.

This must be a discordant plan of the Ming army, and it cannot be easily fooled. ”

Calm returned to the tent.

At this moment, a strong man strode in.

"Oh? Qimuge, you're back? What do those people say? ”

Qi Muge walked to the center and said with a happy face:

"Great Khan, great news. The time has come for our grasslands to regain their former glory. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

"Elaborate."

The news that Qi Mu Gexuan was about to learn from the White Lotus Sect, as well as the plan to be discussed, were all explained in detail.

The little prince slapped the table suddenly, stood up, looked up and laughed wildly:

"Hahaha, good!

The little emperor threw himself into the net, this is the perfect opportunity for the immortal heaven to give us the grassland!

No matter what, we have to stick to it.

Who dares to mention returning to the grassland again, Hugh blames Ben Khan for not talking about friendship! ”

Everyone hurriedly clasped their fists and said yes.

Seeing that the morale was available, the little prince nodded and said:

"Next, we have to make a false sense of retreat, let the group of traitors of Duoyan Sanwei reach the meeting point safely, and then kill him by surprise!

Except for the little emperor, they are all going to die! ”

Immediately afterwards, he looked at the fire sieve and said, "Fire sieve, this retreat, in case the Ming army takes advantage of the situation to pursue, it will be intercepted by your department."

In addition, the matter of looting grain and grass is also handed over to you, don't let Ben Khan down. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the fire sieve, but he could only accept the order.

On the city wall of Fort Victory, Yang Yiqing, the bloodied trilateral commander-in-chief, bowed to Jiang Ning and said:

"I heard that Lord Jiang came to the labor army to express his condolences this time, and the soldiers were all overjoyed, and they were more energetic in killing the Tartars."

Jiang Ning smiled:

"The soldiers were not afraid of life and death, and fought against the Tatars on the front line.

We are sitting in the rear and enjoying the success, and it is also an honor for our officials to be able to send them some food and grass materials and make some modest efforts.

This time, the official went north and brought a lot of rice, flour and grain, as well as pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, which was enough for the soldiers to have a good meal. ”

Zhang Yong echoed on the side:

"Not only that, in addition to food, there are a lot of medicinal herbs, charcoal, fur and the like, and the soldiers don't have to be frozen anymore.

By the way, His Majesty was very happy when he learned of the great victory, and he also gave the officers and men of the three armies three taels of silver each, and the dead and wounded in the battle also received a pension. ”

Yang Yiqing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Your Majesty's kindness, the soldiers must fight bravely to kill the enemy and serve the country!" ”

At this time, Jiang Ning looked at the people around him and said strangely: "By the way, why don't you see Gonggong Miao, isn't he a prisoner?" ”

Yang Yiqing looked at him and Zhang Yong, who were both unknown, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he still said truthfully:

"Father-in-law Miao has gone to perform a confidential military business, this is not a place to speak, let's go into the city tower later."

Jiang Ning and Zhang Yong glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

"Speaking of which, Ben Jiang has already written this matter into a secret letter, and he will quickly send it to the capital to present it to His Majesty.

Didn't the two adults hear from Your Majesty on the way? ”

Jiang Ning coughed a few times to hide his weakness.

The emperor is in the army, where to get the news.

Jiang Ning diverted the topic and said:

"General Yang, looking at the current battle situation, I think that as long as I attack a few more times, the Tatars will retreat.

At that time, it was just the beginning of spring, and the official thought that it was time for the soldiers and civilians to prepare for the cultivation of the fields as soon as possible.

Otherwise, relying only on the assistance of the imperial court, tens of thousands of soldiers and millions of people in these three towns would be hungry. ”

Yang Yiqing nodded and said:

"Don't hide it from Lord Jiang, Ben Jiang has been thinking about this recently. However, most of the land here is mountainous, and it is difficult to grow any decent food.

The general has been worried about this, without food, the morale of the army will be unstable, and it is easy to cause chaos. ”

Jiang Ning had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly said:

"General Yang, I have a lot of new crops here, which are very high-yielding, and I don't pay attention to the fertility of the fields.

originally wanted to promote it all over the world, but the officials didn't see the exact yield per mu, so they didn't agree. As a result, the official tried to plant in Shaanxi and other places.

Although there has been no results yet, this official dares to guarantee that the yield per mu will definitely not disappoint General Yang. ”

Yang Yiqing couldn't believe it: "What Master Jiang said is true? ”

"How can this official joke with the lives of the people."

Yang Yiqing saw Jiang Ning's words, and hurriedly responded: "This is very good, and I also ask Lord Jiang to spread some grain with me." ”

"Well said."

Jiang Ning smiled, pointed to the city tower and said, "By the way, the military affairs that General Yang said just now, the official and Gonggong Zhang still don't know much about it, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Yang Yiqing immediately led the two into the city tower.

At this time, Jiang Ning looked at the guards behind him and said:

"You go down the city wall and move supplies together, you don't have to stay here ......"

Halfway through speaking, Jiang Ning's eyes widened suddenly, staring straight at a figure.

This strange appearance attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers, and they all gathered their eyes together.

I saw a young lieutenant of fifteen or sixteen dodging among the guards.

It's just that there is nothing to be seen in, and the figure is finally revealed.

Zhang Yong and Yang Yiqing saw his appearance clearly, and their faces suddenly changed.

This is not who else that young man can have!

Jiang Ning reacted and quickly pulled Zhu Houzhao into the city tower.

Yang Yiqing and the two hurriedly followed.

"You all go down, you can't come in without my permission!"

Seeing that more than ten generals were also going to follow up together, Yang Yiqing shouted loudly.

Everyone looked at each other and had to say yes.
