On the other side, Li Yan also found that something was wrong.
Could it be that Ye Bushou, who had been spread out, was attacked? But Li Yan quickly gave up this idea.
Ye Bushou is like a ghost wandering on the edge of the battlefield. They are far apart from each other but keep in contact. No army can silently destroy the other party's Ye Bushou without being discovered.
What's more, the Ye Bu Shui of their Dashun Army are all elite and veteran soldiers, with superb cavalry and high vigilance.
Li Mou, who came with Li Yan this time, also asked: "Brother, why hasn't the Ming army made any move? Isn't Chongzhen not planning to break out?"
"No." Li Yan said, "The Ming army will definitely break through tonight."
Li Mou said: "That's strange. What is Chongzhen old man dawdling about?"
After a pause, Li Mou suddenly thought and said: "Brother, will the Ming army break through from the front?"
"This is impossible." Li Yan sneered, "There are four thousand cavalry from our Dashun Army and the Gongtu Tribe in front of us. With Chongzhen's courage, he can..."
Speaking of this, Li Yan's voice suddenly stopped.
Li Mou then asked: "Brother, what is he?"
Li Yan suddenly stood up and said: "No, go back!"
"What? Go back?" Li Mou stood up in confusion.
Why are you going back when you're fine? Why don't you arrest Mr. Chongzhen?
…
More than a thousand Ming troops had already lined up in the dark.
The dozens of bonfires in the camp behind him were deliberately lit in order to dimly illuminate the more than a hundred felt-wrapped tents in the camp, creating the illusion that the Ming army was still sleeping soundly.
But in fact, the Ming army had already assembled in the shadows behind the protective wall.
It was pitch black behind the parapet, and more than a thousand people were silent.
In the dim light from the campfire, only a vague outline could be seen.
Zhu Gaoyuan turned around and asked in a low voice: "Wang Daman, are you ready?"
The first priority in breaking out of the siege was to fill in a section of the trench. Wang Chengen was responsible for this task. The old eunuch and more than a hundred eunuchs had filled hundreds of sacks of soil overnight.
After a while, the eunuchs would throw the sacks into the ditch and fill in a passage.
Then the Ming army could step on this passage and launch a breakout battle.
After receiving Wang Chengen's affirmative answer, Zhu Gaoyuan nodded happily and said: "Then let's get started."
"Old slave, I obey." Wang Chengen agreed, then turned around and waved, and the young eunuchs who had been waiting behind him picked up sacks and threw them into the trench outside the protective wall.
In order to reduce the noise, the eunuchs moved very little.
But the filling speed was very fast, and within a short time, the channel was filled.
Zhu Gaoyuan pulled off his visor, jumped up and got on the horse.
Upon seeing this, the officials and nobles of the Ming army on both sides mounted their horses one after another. During the whole process, there was no neighing from the horses, only a series of deep snorts, and the horses had already taken the title.
"Hang..." Amidst the clear sound of metal rubbing against each other, Zhu Gaoyuan slowly drew his sword.
However, just when Zhu Gaoyuan was about to raise his sword, his movements suddenly stopped and his expression froze.
Under the dark night ahead, a light of fire jumped out without warning, but this weak light was like a sledgehammer hitting Zhu Gaoyuan's heart.
Because this is by no means a bit of fire!
This should be... an army!
Sure enough, this little bit of fire quickly transformed into one!
"This..." Wang Jiayan and other officials were also stunned.
…
Li Yan was also stunned for a moment.
Li Mou also said in astonishment: "Brother, are reinforcements from General Li You or General Gu Kecheng arriving?"
"No." Li Yan shook his head decisively, "Our messenger was just sent out in the afternoon, so the reinforcements from General Li You and General Gu Kecheng cannot arrive so quickly!"
Li Mou said: "So you are a Mongolian?"
Li Yan said: "It's impossible, the truth is the same."
"Whose reinforcements could that be?" Li Mou said, "Could it be the Ming army?"
"Ignore him for now!" Li Yan said solemnly, "Let's return to the West Bank quickly!"
Now Li Yan was not only worried that Chongzhen would run away, but also worried about the safety of the West Bank camp. He only left 500 people for Li Nian. If the Ming army really came, Li Yan would be attacked from both sides by two Ming armies.
A measly 500 people per year would certainly not be able to withstand it, so all the luggage left in the camp would be lost.
Without their baggage, they would be unable to move on the Chahar Grassland.
Therefore, we must return to the west bank as soon as possible to save the food, grass and luggage in the camp.
Li Yan gave an order, and the war horses that had been lying flat in the grass stood up one after another.
Immediately afterwards, torches lit up one after another, instantly illuminating the east bank of the Baihe River as bright as day.
Almost at the same time that the Dashun Army lit up the torches, hundreds of torches also lit up in the southeast corner, that is, in the direction of the lower reaches of the Baihe River. However, the ambush troops from the Gongtu Department could not hold back their composure and showed up on their own initiative.
Li Yan didn't even look at it.
He had already guessed that the Gongtu Department was there.
…
Li Yan didn't take Gongtu's ambush to heart.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty turned pale with fright.
Before the cavalry could understand the sudden attack from the front, another ambush suddenly appeared on the other side of the river, and not one, but two ambush troops appeared!
If Wang Jiayan's plan is followed to break through,
Then not only the main force going north will run into an ambush, but Chongzhen and a small number of elites traveling south will also be intercepted by the ambush in the southeast corner. The final result can be imagined.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiayan suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
It's a shame that the Holy One didn't listen to him, otherwise it would have been all over.
However, Zhu Gaoyuan's mood did not get much better.
Because this perfect breakout plan has been ruined.
Originally, while the main force of the Liu bandits and the Gongtu tribe were on the east bank, they could grab at least an hour, because it took time to wade across the river. Before crossing the river, the soldiers had to take off their clothes and armor and roll them up into a ball.
Carrying it on the head, after crossing the river, you have to wipe yourself clean and then put on clothes and armor, which takes time.
Otherwise, you will easily get sick if you wear wet clothes and armor.
Of course, if it's an urgent moment, you won't care whether you're sick or not, and just force him out.
For example, right now, the Rogue Cavalry in the northeast corner and the Gongtu Cavalry in the southeast corner don't care about this. They don't bother to take off their clothes and armor and just rush their horses into the cold river water.
So, now, it is impossible to break through.
Zhu Gaoyuan once again turned his attention to the grassland ahead.
Who the hell? Ruined my breakout plan!
…
"Hahaha, it came quite in time."
Hu Xinshui looked up to the sky and laughed happily.
Hu Guozhu pointed forward and asked, "Abba, what's going on?"
"You might as well take a guess," Hu Xinshui said, "What happened ahead?"
"I guess." Hu Guozhu scratched his head and said, "I can't guess."
Hu Xinshui said: "Then let me tell you what happened. The camp ahead is divided into three places, and the distance between them is about 500 steps. It can be seen that they belong to three different camps."
"That is to say, in addition to the Ming army and the Gongtu tribe, there is another army."
"This is also the army we found in Wuling Valley before. I guess they are the wandering thieves."
He pointed to the east bank of the Baihe River and said: "Judging from their equipment, the two cavalrymen crossing the river should be the Liuthiers and the ambush troops of the Gongtu tribe. They must think that Chongzhen will lead the Ming army to break out from the east bank tonight."
, so I waded across the river in advance and waited for him on the east bank, but in the end, we father and son got into trouble, haha."
Hu Guozhu cast an admiring look at Hu Xinshui: "Abba, you are so awesome."
"Then you should learn more." Hu Xinshui rubbed Hu Guozhu's head lovingly.
While the father and son were talking, a thousand Yiding had slowly approached the Gongtu tribe's camp.
Hu Xinshui didn't want to start a war with the Gongtu tribe, she just wanted to have a show with her former friends.
At this time, Boritiechina had already returned to the west bank with the main force of the wet Gongtu cavalry. After meeting with Hairigu, they quickly formed a cavalry horizontal formation to face Hu Xinshui's thousand Yiding.
About a stone's throw away, the two parties stopped in perfect agreement.
Then Hu Xinshui led Hu Guozhu out of the riding formation slowly.
Seeing this, Bo Rie Chi Na was stunned for a moment, and then he rode out alone.
When they were less than ten steps apart, Hu Xinshui and his son and Bori Tiechina stopped at the same time.
"It's you!" Boritiechi said with a look of shock on his face, "Burigede! The eagle of the grassland! I didn't expect you to be still alive!"
"You didn't expect that, did you?" Hu Xinshui said, "Bori Tiechina, you traitor!"
"You are talking nonsense." Boritiechi roared in an angry voice, "I am not a traitor."
Hu Xinshui said: "You Gongtu Tribe betrayed the descendants of the Golden Family, and you still say you are not traitors?"
Boritichi roared angrily: "The Golden Family has been the patron saint of the grassland for generations, but you and your father abandoned your people and fled the grassland. The Golden Family has no descendants like you.
The great Genghis Khan did not have such cowardly descendants as you, you should not come back!"
"So?" Hu Xinshui said suddenly.
"You want to kill An Da, who we grew up with?"
"You are not my An Da. I don't have An Da like you."
Bori Tiechina took the Sulu Ding spear from the retinue and urged his horse to charge towards Hu Xinshui.
Hu Guozhu was eager to try, but Hu Xinshui stopped him with his hand: "This is my father's business."
The two men immediately began to charge back and forth, but Hu Xinshui's thousand Yiding and the Gongtu tribe's two thousand cavalry watched the whole process from beginning to end. This was the Mongolian rule.
