Under the leadership of Yang Xin, the Mongolian cavalry entering the pass moved unimpeded, as if they were entering an uninhabited country.
The guard station and Qianhu Station in Datong had already been abolished by Zhu Youxiao. As for the post station, it was directly looted by the Mongolian cavalry passing by.
And the Mongolian scouts finally encountered Ye Bushou of the Yu Lin Army.
The sentry commander, Xu Hu, stared at the three Mongolians ahead with his telescope from a distance, thinking about how to kill them smoothly.
Behind him is His Majesty's large army, which must not be exposed, otherwise it will attract a large number of enemy troops.
In this wilderness, His Majesty's safety must not be threatened in any way.
But now there are only two of him, and the distance is so far away, there is really no confidence that he can kill them all.
Xu Hu was born in the old frontier army and had rich experience in fighting Mongolian scouts and cavalry, but his two men were different.
Although it was said that he had carefully trained himself, after all, he had no battlefield experience, so there was a big difference between actual combat and training, which was why he chose to use the rat weapon.
After thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any good solution, because this was an open area and there were no conditions for an ambush.
We can only rely on our own hard power and take a gamble.
"Xiao Wu, you will lure the Mongols later. Go to the hill in front, keep a good distance, and be sure to attract them over."
"There is a small slope there, which has a certain blind spot in the field of vision. The back slope is not easy to find. Once they get close to the hill, Xiaozhong and I will have the opportunity to catch them off guard."
Although the conditions for the ambush were limited, Xu Hu tried his best to use his own advantages.
If he couldn't kill these three Mongols, there was nothing he could do.
Xiaowu knew the importance of this battle, so he immediately took off a lot of equipment, leaving only the saber and bow and arrow, and went ahead lightly.
But the three Mongolian scouts seemed to have no intention of feeling any danger.
They were still walking leisurely, talking and laughing, as if they were not out to fight but to travel.
"If you ask me, she must be a Han woman. Unlike us Mongolian women, who are full of mutton and fishy smell and are so wild."
The leader's words immediately caused others to laugh, who obviously agreed with his point of view.
Just when the leader wanted to continue speaking, the Mongolian detective who had been vigilant suddenly shouted:
"There is a Ming army."
Their eyes quickly looked forward, and sure enough they spotted a Ming army cavalry wearing armor.
Seeing that he was alone, the three Mongolians were not afraid and immediately rode away. At the same time, they raised their bows and fired three arrows as soon as they were within shooting range.
When Xiao Wu saw them rushing towards him, he didn't panic at all. He stood with his bow and arrows ready and took the lead in attacking.
The war horses that the scouts rode were all high-quality war horses carefully selected from the entire army, not to mention the Mongolians who raised the horses.
Not only were the war horses of high quality, but his equestrian skills were also the best in the world, so he quickly got close to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu was not interested in fighting either. After firing a few arrows, he also drove his horse towards the hillock Xu Hu mentioned.
Seeing the Ming army's cavalry fleeing, the leading Mongolian scout lost any sense of defense and spurred his horses to pursue them at full speed.
Little did he know that this would speed up his death.
Xu Hu had already been waiting behind the mountain bag, in order to ensure that he would not be discovered and the chance of success in shooting.
The two men laid their horses on the ground and prepared to snipe them with rifle fire.
Xu Hu was worthy of being an old frontier soldier. He killed the Mongolian leader who was running at the front with one arrow.
Xiao Zhong did not waste these months of hard training and hit a Mongolian in the chest with an arrow.
When a Mongolian who was running slowly saw that his two brothers died on the spot, he immediately turned his horse and ran away.
The three men immediately started chasing, because the Mongolian had already exhausted the endurance and energy of the war horse.
They were overtaken by Xu Hu and others before they ran very far. The Mongolian knew that he could not run away and immediately prepared to fight back.
The four of them soon started a mounted shooting battle, but in terms of mounted shooting, the Mongolians who grew up on horseback were still much better than the Ming army who had only trained for a few months.
Even a veteran like Xu Hu can barely handle it.
But no matter how superb this Mongolian's equestrian skills were, and how superb his riding and shooting skills were, he was ultimately outnumbered.
The horse was hit in the butt by Xiao Wuyi's arrow, and fell off the horse and was defeated.
Xiao Zhong was also hit by an arrow on his shoulder. Fortunately, he was protected by thick armor and did not penetrate his body. The arrow just pierced his flesh, so the injury was not serious.
Seeing the Mongolian scout lying on the ground vomiting blood, Xu Hu breathed a sigh of relief.
With the same number of people competing with Mongolian scouts in field mounted shooting, the pressure is still very high.
Three of them fought against each other and still managed to win by a narrow margin. The Mongolian scouts' equestrian skills and riding and shooting skills were mediocre.
Seeing the injuries of his subordinates, which were neither minor nor serious, Xu Hu also told the two of them to practice more when they went back.
The three of them quickly cleared the battlefield, carried the injured Mongolian prisoner on their backs, and quickly went back to recover.
When he was taken to the Chinese army camp at Zhu Youxiao, he saw a young man wearing golden armor, and he knew the identity of this man.
Because what they came to explore on this trip was the traces of the Ming Dynasty emperor.
"I only give you one chance to tell you everything you know, otherwise I will send you to see your Temujin."
This Mongolian was not stupid. He knew that life was the most important thing, so he told everything he knew on the spot.
Zhu Youxiao was indeed a little surprised to learn that nearly 30,000 Mongolian cavalry had entered the pass.
He originally thought this was just a false military report fabricated by Yang Hong.
But after listening to it, he realized that he had guessed wrong again.
The thoughts and expressions of those generals were different. Their thoughts were very simple and they did not think too much.
Some people are worried and nervous, and some people are excited and excited.
The only thing that surprised them was that so many Mongolians entered the Great Wall, but there was no reaction at all from the border towns?
It can be seen that the emperor kept his eyes closed and remained silent, and they could only stand aside and wait.
"Eighty percent of these Mongolians were invited by Yang Hong. The Mongolian scout said that they went all the way south without encountering any obstacles, which shows that they have a deep collusion with Yang Hong."
"Based on this situation, Datong may be hiding a secret. Those generals and officials are either waiting and watching or being attracted by Yang Hong. They have betrayed the imperial court and me."
"It seems that Yang Hong is very courageous. I am just here to patrol the border, and he has made such a big move. I am afraid that among these people, his accomplices are indispensable."
The emperor's incomprehensible words made the generals confused.
Zhu Youxiao ignored their questions and surprise, and immediately asked people to bring a map of Datong and his location, and placed it in front of the generals.
Zhu Youxiao said with a heavy expression:
"Let's talk about how to fight this battle. This is a tough battle."
