At around noon on the seventh day of the 10th month of the fourth year of Jiajing, Wang Shouren, Secretary of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, led various troops to the outside of Chaoyang Gate of the capital. The total force was 250,000, and it was known to be 500,000 to the public. The momentum was so great that the soldiers and civilians in the city were excited.

However, at this time, both Bodi Khan and Altan had led their troops to retreat, and the troops from all over the world came to sharpen their knives, but they didn't even catch half of the leg hair of the Tartars, which was really annoying. Wang Shouren was also amused and laughed at this. He even said that Xu Ziqian was not kind-hearted and ate meat himself, but he didn't even leave a bite of soup for everyone.

Of course, this is just a joke. Everyone knows that Lao Wang is complimenting and admiration for Governor Xu. However, it is not ruled out that some generals who are eager to make contributions feel disappointed. After all, this kind of great contribution to rescue the car is not easy. Now that I have been in vain, I have not made any contributions, which is too disappointing!

However, the general who felt lost quickly became excited again, because the combat order of General Xu Jin of Pinglu was issued soon, and the troops were divided into two groups to pursue Bodi Khan and Altan.

Both the Bodi Khan's troops and the Altan troops were cavalry, and it was obviously unrealistic to pursue the cavalry with infantry. Therefore, Xu Jin selected 60,000 cavalry from various king-supporting troops, divided them into two routes, and each was equipped with 70,000 infantry to jointly operate, and pursue Bodi Khan and Altan separately.

Xu Jin himself led all the troops to pursue Altan, while Wang Shouren led another troops to Gubeikou to pursue Bodi Khan.

After discussion, Xu Jin and Wang Shouren decided to establish a sixteen-character policy of "If the enemy advances, we will retreat, if the enemy retreats, we will chase, if the enemy stands, we will disturb us, if we can eat, we will eat."

The so-called sixteen-character policy is to sum up as a rogue. If the enemy runs away, I will bite it like a ghost; if the enemy turns over and hits me, I will immediately apply oil under my feet; if the enemy stops to take a breath, I will harass them; if there are a small group of enemies left alone, I will eat it without hesitation.

The reason why they adopted such a vulgar strategy was precisely because considering the strong combat power of the Taurus cavalry, the Ming army was not as good as that. This was both safe and effective oppression for the Taurus, so that they did not dare to deviate from the route and looted, causing casualties and losses to the people of the villages and towns along the way.

On the morning of the eighth day of the 10th month, Xu Jin and Wang Shouren each led an army of 100,000. Xu Jin went west to get to Zijing Pass, while Lao Wang went north and pointed at Gubeikou.

The sixteen-character policy set by Xu Jin and Wang Shouren was undoubtedly very effective. Thirty thousand cavalry were oppressed in front, and 70,000 infantry then responded and advanced steadily, posing a powerful threat to the Tartars.

Although Altan's trip to the south to attack the Ming Dynasty almost cut off the Ming Dynasty's national destiny, he also lost half of his troops. The key was that most of the money he had snatched was given to Bodi Khan in exchange for trust. So after careful calculation, Altan's trip to the south this time was actually a loss-making deal, and the only benefit he got was his reputation and a large number of Han slaves.

Because of this, Altan planned to take advantage of the retreat to catch enough food and food supplies for the winter in the villages and towns along the way. Otherwise, even if he successfully retreated outside the Great Wall, this cold season would be quite difficult.

However, Xu Jin led a hundred thousand troops to follow behind his butt like a slinger, which made Altan feel like a thorn on his back. What made Altan most angry was that once he sent troops to plunder, the Ming army's cavalry would immediately kill the more to bully the few. In this way, Altan's command not only did not grab food, but also suffered repeated losses.

In a fit of anger, Altan led the main force to look for battle. At this time, the Ming army's cavalry slapped their horses and fled for dozens of miles. When Altan finally caught up, he was greeted by a tightly defended infantry camp, with deer antlers blocking the road, long spears, and Franchises roaring enthusiastically...

Altan tried to attack Xu Jin's infantry camp, but in the end the tiger bit the turtle and had no idea how to get out of the mouth, so he could only lead the army to evacuate. As soon as he retreated, the Ming army's cavalry crept up again.

Altan was furious and led his army back again. The result was similar to last time. So Altan sent someone to the front of the formation to insult Xu Jin, greeting Xu Jin's ancestors for the 18th generation, claiming to have a Zhao friendship with Xu Jin's ancestors for the 18th generation, and trying to scold Xu Jin so much that he was angry and went out of the camp to fight him head-on!

As a result, it was useless. Xu Jin calmly selected more than a hundred big-headed soldiers with loud voices and scolded Altan's soldiers in front of the formation. In the end, Altan was not angry with Xu Jin, but instead he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

There was no way, so Altan had to lead his troops to continue to retreat to Youyu County, Shanxi. He did not get much food and food along the way, but instead lost more than a thousand people and the Han people took the opportunity to escape. He was so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry!

…………

In Shuozhou, Shanxi, the wind is as strong as a knife, and the wind is deserted. On the top of Shuozhou City, a large flag embroidered with white lotus is flying in the wind, and teams of soldiers with red scarves are patrolling and guarding the city.

It is said that since he opened the Killing Hukou and let Altan's army go south, Li Fuda immediately launched the attack on Youyu City, sent troops to quickly attack Shuozhou, publicly raised flags to rebel, and recruited troops in Shuozhou City.

The Maitreya Cult has been in Shanxi for a long time, and there are many believers under his post, and even many believers in the border army. The reason why Li Fuda was able to easily capture Shuozhou was because of the trust in the defenders, and the disciples were in harmony with each other.

Therefore, after Li Fuda raised the banner of rebellion in Shuozhou City, Maitreya believers from all over the country came to vote, and in a short time he gathered thousands of people. In addition, the original 3,000 people of the Yulin Guard, Li Fuda's troops reached more than 6,000.

In addition, the frontier was suffering and the people were in trouble. Under the coercion and temptation, there were thousands of local people who defected to Li Fuda for a time. Therefore, Li Fuda's troops quickly grew to ten thousand people, and the momentum was very prosperous!

At this time, news that Altan's army had reached the foot of the Ming capital also came. Li Fuda no longer hesitated and decisively led his army south to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, preparing to go west to occupy Guanzhong.

However, things went against my wishes. Li Fuda was hit by a strong blockade as soon as he arrived in Xinzhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, and failed to take down Xinzhou City for most of the month. Instead, he suffered heavy casualties and injuries. In addition, the food was unsustainable, the weather became colder and colder, and heavy snow was flying. In desperation, Li Fuda had to order the withdrawal of Shuozhou City to rest.

At this time, in the hall of the government office in Shuozhou City, Li Fuda was discussing a way to attack Xinzhou again with his eldest son Li Daren, his third son Li Dali, and a group of generals.

However, at this moment, a religious disciple under Li Fuda ran in panic and reported: "General, something is wrong. Just after receiving the news from the capital, Altan was defeated by Xu Jin and was leading 50,000 remaining troops to retreat to Youyu County, Shanxi!"

This was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which shocked Li Fuda and others. After a long time, Li Fuda came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "How could this be the case? Didn't the news I received last time say that Altan had already broken through the outer city?"

The believer wiped his cold sweat and said, "Altan did break through the outer city, but Xu Jin is a good guy. He secretly sneaked back to the capital a few days ago. After secret arrangements, he not only removed the inner man in the city in one fell swoop, but also used the trick to lure Altan into the city and killed more than 10,000 cavalry under Altan. Even Zhao Quan was captured. It is said that Altan himself almost lost his life!"

All the backbone of Maitreya Sect in the hall changed color in shock. Li Dali blurted out: "No, my second brother (Li Dayi) is afraid that there will be a lot of danger!"

Li Fuda's face turned pale. He really regretted that he had not killed Xu Jin at the beginning. He asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news of righteousness?"

The believer said tremblingly: "According to the eyeliner, Young Master Dayi personally entered the Xu Mansion that night, trying to capture Xu Jin's family, but was ambushed. Now he is missing, and he doesn't know whether it is life or death!"

Bang~Click...

Li Fuda pressed his palm on the table, and the sturdy poplar wood table was split on the spot, and all the backbone stood up in horror.

Li Dali gritted his teeth with red eyes and said, "Father, the child will definitely kill Xu Jin, the dog official, to avenge his second brother."

Li Fuda deserves to be a hero. After slamming the table with a palm, his face quickly calmed down. He said lightly: "Send the order and immediately transport all the supplies in Shuozhou City to Youyu City, and the entire army retreated to Youyu City to meet Altan."

Li Dali was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Dad, Altan is now being chased by Xu Jin like a dog that is a broken family. Why do we still have to pick him up? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Li Fuda stared at Li Dali with a sharp look, and the latter's heart was shaking, but he didn't dare to question it anymore.

Li Fuda swept through the backbone present and said coldly: "Even Altan is not Xu Jin's opponent. Do you think we can compete with him with our little force?"

Everyone was slightly worried. Indeed, there were 50,000 cavalry under Altan's command who were hunted by Xu Jin and had no way to go to heaven and no way to the ground. His staff was probably not enough to be blocked between them. If he wanted to survive, he really had to unite with Altan. If he really had no choice, he could follow Altan out of the frontier to save his life!
