On the third day of October, Zhu Su brought an army of more than 20,000 people and met Yunxi again. After greetings for a while, Zhu Su said: "Thank you for being fine. Come with me back to Xuan Mansion to repair before going to Datong."
Yunxi gritted his teeth and said: "I still have things to do, how can I go back like this!"
Zhu Su said: "What else do you have to do? Are you searching for your guards? I will let the soldiers I bring find them all."
Yunxi looked at Zhu Su dumbfounded. If Zhu Di were here, he would have already known what he was going to do. Zhu Su's words almost made Yunxi lose all his momentum.
Yunxi asked: "Have you notified all the guards and fortresses to guard against Mongolian attacks?"
Zhu Su said: "That's natural."
Yunxi ignored him and said to Huailaiwei commander Yu Ai on the side: "Does your army still have the strength to fight?"
Yu Qing said: "How come you don't have one!"
Yunxi looked at all the commanders of the army brought by Zhu Su in front of him, and said: "Now I order you, all the troops to attack forward, pursue the Mongolian soldiers, and prevent them from running to the grassland one by one!"
Before the officer could speak, Zhu Su said: "You want to fight the Mongolian soldiers! Such a large-scale attack is not possible without His Majesty's permission!"
Yunxi said: "We are fighting inside the Great Wall now! It was the Mongolian soldiers who invaded us first! It is not an attack!"
Zhu Su looked at Yun Xi's blood-red eyes and did not dare to speak.
Yunxi then turned his head and continued to say to the officers: "Commanders of the Ming Dynasty, now is your chance to make a contribution. Whoever can kill the most Mongolian soldiers will be rewarded!"
The officers below were all tempted. Since the 21st year of Hongwu, Mongolian soldiers have rarely invaded the border. They rarely have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. This is a big chance to make meritorious deeds. Zhu Su on the side did not object, so
They said in unison: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Yunxi first muttered: "Chen Xing, Qin Nan, Lan Lian, I will avenge you right now!" Then he said to Lan Zhen: "Lan Qing, command them."
Lan Zhen washed her face and made her blood-red eyes look better. She walked over and said, "I will live up to my command!" and then directed the army to move forward.
At this time Qin Song ran over and said: "Your Highness, let me be the vanguard!"
Yunxi said: "No! Your eldest brother is already dead, I can't let you get into danger again!"
Qin Song fell to his knees and cried: "Your Highness! I want to avenge my brother with my own hands!"
Seeing how determined he was, Yunxi could only agree.
At this time Yang Feng also came over and said: "Your Highness! I also want to be a pioneer and avenge my brothers who died!"
Before Yunxi could answer, Lan Zhen said: "No, there are only three of you guards from the capital. You must stay to protect His Highness."
Yang Feng opened his mouth and said: "I..." But he looked at the red eyes of Lan Zhen and Qin Song, two people whose brothers died at the hands of Mongolian soldiers, and swallowed back the rest of his words.
Lan Zhen uses the cavalry as the main force, leading the advance himself, leaving the infantry to follow. This stage does not have any technical content. It is to go west to the east of Huashan first, where the Mongolian soldiers must withdraw to the north. Lan Zhen plans to
There, look at the guard post where the beacon fire will be lit, and then go to the place where the beacon fire is lit; of course, the Mongolian soldiers may have suspicions, and it is difficult to see how many of them are there at night, but Yunxi is not afraid, because
Since he has many troops now, he is not afraid even if he divides his troops.
After shooting some Mongolian soldiers, Chen Hu, his father and his son, who returned to the mountains immediately, and other mountain people, were walking on the mountain. Chen Lijie asked his father: "Why did you leave in such a hurry?"
Chen Hu said: "Why don't you leave after killing the Tatars? I think the people the Tatars are chasing are in a state of embarrassment. Even if they want a reward, they probably won't get any reward, so why don't they come back quickly? And these big shots love to give in.
People like us are acting as bodyguards for them; I’m not used to that. As for you, don’t think about it until I die!”
When he returned with his troops, he met Ye Xian Tugan and told him about the incident: "Prince, I am incompetent and failed to capture the crown prince of the Southern Barbarians."
When Ye Xiantu Gan heard that he had only just succeeded, he beat his chest with regret. However, he also recovered and said: "Since it failed, we will withdraw our troops immediately and return to the grassland. Although we did not capture the Southern Barbarian prince this time, we
I have obtained a lot of weapons and armor, which is not a loss. Send an order to all the troops to return along the original road."
Jia Tai was shocked and said: "Prince, we are still south of the Great Wall! The Nanman guards along the way must be on guard this time. The Nanman Crown Prince is so embarrassed that he will also summon an army to stop us in the Great Wall, even if the Nanman has no power.
General, don't be careless!"
Hearing this, Yexian Tugan said: "What you said makes sense, but this road is the most suitable for horse racing, and other roads have mountain passes. Don't I know that it will be very dangerous if we fail to catch the Nanman prince this time? But Yue Yue
The more dangerous it is, the less panic you can have. I want to bring most of the sons back to the tribe safely."
On the evening of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Zhen had already led the cavalry back to Yanghe Fort. At this time, Yanghe Fort was deserted. After the Mongolian soldiers left, four Ming soldiers led Qi Tai and Lian Zining to the west.
The Tiancheng Guard left, and the remaining six Ming soldiers returned here and killed the remaining people, then took away all the weapons and went north.
Lan Zhen's eyes were red along the way, and she wished she could catch up with the Mongolian soldiers immediately. But they had been running for a day and a night, and it was difficult for them to maintain their manpower and horsepower, so they had to order to set up camp.
At this time, a beacon tower suddenly lit up in a fort in the north. Lan Zhen turned her head and said to the soldiers: "There is a fort in the north that has discovered Mongolian soldiers. Let's get up and chase them."
Yu Ai looked at the soldiers' faces, and then whispered to Lan Zhen: "Dong Liang, the soldiers are already very tired. Let them rest. Besides, even if people can endure it, horses can't either."
Lan Zhen knew that what he said was right. If he continued to run, the horse would be killed. However, Lan Zhen gritted her teeth and looked at the fire in the north. Should she stop chasing them for the time being? What if they were allowed to run away just because of this?
!
At this moment, an army came over from the west. When Lan Zhen asked someone, it turned out to be the army of Datong led by the acting king Zhu Gui.
It turned out that the Tiancheng Guard was attacked by the Ordos Mongolian troops, so although Ma Xuan was very worried about Yunxi's safety, he did not dare to send Qianhu the cavalry out easily. He did not send out the cavalry until the army from Datong arrived to relieve the siege.
