The north wind is howling and the snow is falling.
Zhu Qizhen, covered with thick mink fur, led the way, followed by Yuan Bin and other twenty royal guards.
After preparing for a long time, finally when the big fish Tuotuo Buhua bit the hook, it was time to take out the net.
It's time to show off, stop pretending, I am ambushing 3,000 battalions waiting for the enemy!
I will soon let you experience what it means to be the master of kings, the wrath of thunder!
It's a pity that the Three Thousand Battalion did not carry heavy firearms, otherwise, they would have done a damn job.
However, after waiting and waiting, it was already a full hour after the appointed time, and not a single horse hair was seen in the Three Thousand Battalion.
Zhu Qizhen looked up at the sky and asked, "Are the time and place correct?"
Yuan Bin was also uneasy and said: "It's right here, the time is not a problem, maybe it's because the snow is too heavy and the Three Thousand Battalion can't tell the direction..."
"Report!"
The sound of horse hooves came from behind. Because it was snowing, the visible range was only a dozen steps away. Basically, I heard the sound first and then saw the person again.
Zhu Ji came riding on a fast horse with a very ugly look on his face.
Yuan Bin quickly asked: "Have you seen the Three Thousand Battalion?"
They were waiting anxiously just now, worried that the Three Thousand Battalion might have lost their way in the heavy snow, so they sent Zhu Ji to greet him. Now that he saw him coming back alone, he suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Zhu Ji turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Let me tell you, Your Majesty, something happened!"
Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Ji said: "Mobei Wei Gula led his troops to intercept the three thousand battalions!"
After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's face was as dark as water, and his eyebrows were twisted into a knot.
Yuan Bin stepped forward and asked: "How could the soldiers and horses of Mobei Guards stop the Three Thousand Battalion? What is going on?"
Everyone knows that the weapons and equipment of the Three Thousand Battalion are two levels ahead of the Mobei Guards. How can this group of rotten fish and shrimps stop the Three Thousand Battalion?
Zhu Ji smiled bitterly and said: "An unidentified cavalry came from the northwest. There were about tens of thousands of them. Three thousand battalions went to meet the enemy. Gula led the Mobei Guards to attack from behind. The three thousand battalions did not carry heavy weapons.
It’s impossible to break out of the siege for a while!”
Yuan Bin wondered: "Where did the people and horses from the northwest come from? Could it be..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly swallowed it back.
Because so many cavalry suddenly appeared in the northwest direction, only Beihai Guard!
Could it be that Beihaiwei rebelled?
Zhu Qizhen looked grim and suddenly asked, "Did anything look strange before Gula gathered his troops and left the city?"
"Nothing strange!"
Zhu Ji shook his head and said: "Everything is exactly as the emperor expected, but that unidentified cavalry..."
The situation was urgent, so he rushed back to report the situation, but he did not have sufficient information.
Zhu Qizhen suddenly turned to Yuan Bin and asked, "Is there any news about the spies sent by Jin Yiwei to the Yenisei River?"
Yuan Bin was suddenly stunned. Since the Oara tribe was annihilated five years ago, the emperor had asked him to send spies to the Yenisei River and the eight upper river basins because there were still many scattered Oara tribes there.
The Oara tribe originally originated from the Yenisei River. At the beginning, it had a non-subordinate relationship with the Mongols.
After Genghis Khan unified the Mongolian tribes and established the Mongol Empire, the Oara tribes were also won over by Genghis Khan and his descendants through generations of marriages, and gradually became subordinate to Mongolia.
As Yuanting was defeated and retreated to Mobei, Oara broke away from Mongolia again. However, the interior of Oara was not monolithic.
Roughly speaking, the Oara people are divided into two groups. Among them, most of them choose to follow and move eastward first. In other words, they have been fighting for territory in Mobei with the Tatars since the Mahamu era. From time to time, they harass Datong and the Xuanfu area.
The border town.
The other group chose to stay in the Yenisey River and the eight upper river basins. These people still live a relatively primitive nomadic life of fishing, hunting and herding.
After Zhu Qizhen destroyed Ye Xian, he sent spies to the Yenisei River area in order to monitor these people and prevent the second Ye Xian from appearing.
Because the distance is too far,
There is no trade relationship between the two parties, so it is extremely difficult for the spies over there to pass on information.
Yuan Bin thought about it for a long time and then said: "The last news was three months ago, saying that Sangchi, the leader of Dulbert, was annexing other tribes and had a tendency to unify Oara."
【In view of the general environment,
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "If he could assemble all the troops of the Oara tribe, how many troops would he have?"
Yuan Bin was shocked and said: "Fifty thousand!"
"That's it!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded solemnly and made an immediate decision: "We underestimated our opponent, this matter is not easy, withdraw!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bin immediately waved his hand behind him, and everyone followed him, embracing Zhu Qizhen and rushing south.
If the attack is really Wala, there is no need to worry.
Ha Ming has already set off with the Beihai Guard, and will soon be able to join forces with the 3,000 battalions to deal with a mere 50,000-watt cavalry, plus the Mobei Guard, it is no problem at all.
The most important thing now is to ensure the emperor's safety.
There is no way back to Orkhon City, so we can only go all the way south. The closer we get to the capital, the safer it will be.
More than twenty riders were riding wildly in the heavy snow. They had not gone far when they heard movement behind them.
Yuan Bin was startled and secretly thought that it was not good for him to come after him so quickly!
At this time, Zhu Ji said: "Your Majesty, you go first, I'll go take a look!"
Zhu Qizhen immediately made a judgment and said: "It's impossible for the Three Thousand Battalion to get rid of it so quickly. These people are either Gula or Tutuobaohua. Don't look at it and leave quickly!"
Everyone continued to gallop on their horses, but the sound of horse hooves behind them got closer and closer, and they were about to catch up.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhu Ji said: "Commander Yuan, you protect the emperor as he goes east, and I will lead the people to continue south!"
After hearing this, Yuan Bin nodded and said: "Don't be obsessed with fighting, just leave if you can!"
After finishing speaking, he cupped his fists and saluted, and then called on ten people to protect Zhu Qizhen and go eastward.
Zhu Ji took the remaining ten people and waited at the same spot for a while. It was not until he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him that he continued to go south.
It was snowing heavily, and the pursuers only saw someone in front of them, and they pursued them all the way.
These people are the elite cavalry of the Mobei Guards led by Gula, with approximately 1,200 people.
There were five thousand troops in the entire Mobei Guard, but most of them didn't know that Gula had rebelled, and thought they were going to stop Tuotuo Buhua.
Gula lied that the Three Thousand Battalion was the Tatar tribe, left these people to cooperate with Sang Chi, and then led his confidants to pursue them.
Before this, he had no idea because the Three Thousand Battalion was too terrifying and the strength of the two sides was not equal.
Fortunately, Sang Chi's attack timing was so accurate. If Beihaiwei had arrived a few days later, there wouldn't be enough people to attack them.
Now that the Three Thousand Battalion is being held back, I might as well take care of this matter myself without waiting for the opportunity to escape!
Why should you give such great credit to others?
Thinking of this, Gula felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart. In her field of vision, a few small black dots were running for their lives, like sheep being chased by a pack of wolves.
