When Jia Ke discovered that the Tatars had opened a gap and wanted to escape, it was too late to intercept them. He could only lead the cavalry in pursuit. After the Tatars escaped from the encirclement, Alslen Khan did not stop.
Leading the troops and horses all the way to the north.
Jia Ke and I led the cavalry behind us and kept chasing them. From that day on, the two sides kept fighting, fighting and fighting all the way north.
When they arrived at Miyun, the commander of Miyun Xie Wang saw the Tatars retreating at the head of the city, and the soldiers and horses of the dynasty were following them, so he opened the city gate and led the remaining troops out of the city to intercept the Tatars.
When Alslen Khan saw this situation, he was filled with regret. If he had known that he would have attacked the city with all his strength that day, he would have captured Miyun even if he lost some troops. With this delay, he would have lost countless warriors.
Alsileng Khan had no chance to regret now. At this time, he led his generals to charge forward and went straight to Miyun Chief Secretary Xie Wang.
When Xie Wang saw the swarming Tatar cavalry, he knew that he could not block them, so he could only retreat to both sides to make way for them. However, only blocking for this moment bought Jia Ke time.
Jia Ke and his men quickly caught up with Arslen Khan and led his troops behind to kill him. At this time, the Tatar troops were completely in chaos.
Alsileng Khan knew that he had to cut off his tail to survive, so he ordered his general Bater to lead 10,000 troops to intercept Jia Ke from behind.
When Battle heard that Alsileng Khan received the order, he cursed him. During this time, he was really disappointed with Alsileng Khan.
Although Battle was dissatisfied with Arslen Khan, he had to obey orders at this critical moment, so he turned around with 10,000 cavalry to attack Jia Ke.
Battelle had several confrontations with Jia Ke. He knew how powerful Jia Ke was, so although he was ordered to intercept Jia Ke this time, he would not fight head-on with Jia Ke.
Battle started firing arrows within an arrow's distance of Jia Ke, but he didn't get close to him. He just kept attacking from the side of Jia Ke's group.
Although Jia Ke was not blocking the front, Battelle also lost a lot of troops due to his constant attacks from the side. It seemed that he had to be dealt with first before the pursuit could continue.
Jia Ke ordered Zheng Kai and Xiao Yue to each lead 5,000 troops to outflank Battle's army from the front and rear. Jia Ke and the remaining men went straight to Battle's central army.
As soon as Battle saw Jia Ke starting to send troops to outflank his team, he knew that something was not right. He could not make trouble now, and he had to really explain it here. When he saw his eyes rolling, he had an idea. In this case, of course he had to protect himself.
His life is important, and we will talk about the other things later.
The captain next to Battle said: "You lead five thousand troops to resist Jia Ke. I will lead the team to charge forward and kill a bloody path, and then you will retreat."
After hearing what Battle said, the Captain of Ten Thousands immediately changed his face and said, "General, you are a little unreasonable, isn't it your time to lead the troops to resist Jia Ke? Why is it my turn now?"
After hearing this, Battle was furious. He raised his big gun involuntarily and knocked the captain off his horse with one shot. Then without explaining, he said to the deputy Wanhu next to him: "This man does not respect military orders. Now he has been killed."
You were killed by me, and now I order you to lead five thousand people to resist Jia Ke, but you have never obeyed."
Seeing this scene, the Deputy Wanhu didn't dare to say no. He had no choice but to lead 5,000 men and went to Jia Ke.
After Battelle sent these people away, he took them in the right direction, and the remaining people rushed forward.
The person standing in front of Battle happened to be Zheng Kai. Although he was a cavalryman, his martial arts skills were far inferior to Battle's.
Zheng Kai and Battelle exchanged blows for a while, but they couldn't resist, so they could only hide aside. Fortunately, Battelle was in a hurry to escape and didn't take him seriously. This allowed him to escape with his life.
The five thousand people who were blocking Jia Ke were rushed into chaos by Jia Ke. The deputy Wanhu who was in charge was split in half by Jia Ke's halberd before he could resist. At this time, Xiao Yue and I came from behind the enemy.
He came over and surrounded 5,000 people with Jia Ke. In less than half an hour, all these people were killed by Jia Ke. After that, Jia Ke gathered his troops again and once again attacked Alsileng Khan.
I pursued him in the direction he was walking.
Jia Ke led his men and horses in pursuit for a while, when suddenly tens of thousands of men and horses were killed on both sides.
Jia Ke was caught off guard, and was suddenly rushed by the opponent, causing his team to be in disarray. Moreover, his own cavalry also suffered heavy losses due to this sudden attack.
Jia Ke put up a pergola and looked forward. He saw a handsome flag in front of him. Under the flag was a general with a golden helmet and golden armor. He was very extraordinary. There were countless elite guards around him. This man Jia Ke knew was Meng He.
.
This is the first time that Jia Ke has been ambushed for so many years in the army. Now the troops in Xuanfu Town have been overwhelmed by the enemy. If they don't think of a way, they may be defeated.
At this time, Jia Ke hurriedly ordered his men to gather the troops, so that the scattered formations began to assemble. This showed the benefits of Jia Ke's several modern formation trainings. As soon as Jia Ke's soldiers and horses heard the call to gather,
At the sound of the order, regardless of the others, they immediately joined in the middle. Soon these cavalrymen had formed a neat formation and were facing the Tatars in front of them to attack them.
At this time, Meng He, the Tatar general, was a little surprised to see Jia Ke's army regrouping and getting into formation in such a short time.
I originally thought that this time I would ambush here and suddenly attack, so as to wipe out Jia Ke's forwards. I didn't expect that Jia Ke's troops were so well-trained and regrouped in a short period of time. If he attacks again now, I'm afraid he will
We can only go head-to-head.
After the troops were assembled, Jia Ke rode his horse to the front of the formation and shouted to the opponent: "I have defeated Alsileng Khan. You wait here to stop the heavenly soldiers. It's just an egg against a stone. Listen to my good advice and surrender immediately.
I will protect you from death. If you don’t listen to me, I will kill you without a burial place in front of the battle.”
Meng He on the opposite side did not dare to move forward. He knew Jia Ke's bravery, so he sent his troops to shout: "Jia Ke, don't make such arrogant remarks again. Your troops are nothing more than this. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Jia Ke originally wanted to continue charging, but seeing that his cavalry had been chasing for such a long time, they were very tired. In addition, the opponent was waiting for work. If he fought with him, even if he could win, he would suffer heavy losses.
So Jia Ke ordered the troops to rest on the spot to see what the other side was going to do. Jia Ke himself took a small number of troops to guard the formation.
At this time, Alsileng Khan also led his troops back to the front of the formation from behind. This time Alsileng Khan suffered heavy losses. If he hadn't asked Meng He to serve as a reserve team in the rear for him in advance, they, the Tatars, would probably have been defeated this time.
Few can return to the grassland.
When Alsileng Khan saw that Jia Ke was no longer chasing him, he was not in the mood to fight him again. At this time, his troops had already lost their armor and many of them had no weapons. Fighting now would simply cost their lives.
So Alsileng Khan ordered Meng He to lead the tens of thousands of fresh troops to the rear, while the defeated soldiers he led and the treasures and people he had plundered slowly retreated northward.
After Jia Ke finished repairing, he once again led the cavalry to the front of the formation. He saw that Meng He had not retreated at this time. Knowing that the opponent was staying behind, he ordered the troops to start attacking. Jia Ke waved Fang Tian's painted halberd at
Directly ahead is a decisive battle with Meng He.
Meng He knew that Jia Ke was so brave that his soldiers might not be able to withstand it, so he did not engage in a decisive battle with Jia Ke, but relied on his equestrian skills to hang from a distance and keep firing arrows, just to hurt them.
Khan delays time.
The two sides struggled with each other for a day. Although Jia Ke rushed into the opponent's formation several times, his cavalry failed to keep up. Therefore, although he defeated Meng He this time, he was unable to cause large-scale casualties to him.
In the end, Meng He slowly retreated, but Jia Ke's own soldiers were tired and could only follow slowly behind. The two sides did not fight after that, and just moved northward in a tacit understanding. At this time, Alsileng Khan had already brought his troops with him.
The soldiers and horses fled far away.
Jia Ke still has lost land and has not recovered it, especially Beigukou. This place is too important. As long as Beigukou is not lost, the Tatars cannot cross the Great Wall and come to the capital to wreak havoc. And if Beigukou cannot be recaptured, the Tatars will
People can go south at any time.
So Jia Ke followed Meng He in hot pursuit. After another day and night of pursuit, Jia Ke finally saw Guancheng at Beigukou.
At this time, the Beigukou city gate was wide open, and there was no one around. Jia Ke did not dare to enter the city rashly. He now understood why Sima Yi had hollowed out the city?
But Jia Ke was not Sima Yi. One thousand of his men immediately entered the city to see if there were any enemy troops, while he led his army to wait outside the city.
Soon after entering, Qianhu appeared at the top of the city and shouted to Jia Ke, saying that there was no one in the city.
Jia Ke then led his troops into the city slowly. After entering Gubeikou, he found broken bricks and tiles everywhere in the city, and the corpses of people were scattered everywhere, and many women were naked.
Jia Ke couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened them, they were already red. Jia Ke calmed down and ordered the entire army to search up and down Gubeikou to see if there were any living people.
In the evening, the searchers came back to report. There was not a single living person in Gubeikou, let alone a living person. Even the chickens, ducks and other livestock raised by the people were nowhere to be seen. Jia Ke had no choice but to order all the soldiers to collect the corpses of the people, and put them in the
They were buried one by one outside the city.
Jia Ke temporarily set up camp at Gubeikou and did not continue to pursue northward. After all, he had a guide when he went deep into the grassland before. This time he came to the capital because he was afraid of exposing his arrangements on the grassland. Therefore, he did not bring anyone from the grassland with him.
If we go deep into the grassland now, we might get lost and not even find the water source.
Jia Ke temporarily stationed himself at Gubeikou, and at the same time sent a messenger to deliver a message to King Beijing, waiting for instructions from the court before making plans.
Jia Ke only stayed in Gubeikou for four or five days before the imperial court's messenger arrived, along with 3,000 troops to replace Jia Ke in defending Gubeikou.
The imperial court's order was for Jia Ke to take over the defense of Gubeikou, and then return to the capital immediately with his troops without any mistakes. After reading the order, Jia Ke knew that something big was about to happen in the capital. So Jia Ke did not dare to neglect, and after the handover, he took the troops with him.
With 20,000 cavalry, he quickly headed to the capital.
But things were not as Jia Ke thought. When Jia Ke arrived in the capital with his troops, he found that the capital had returned to its pre-war state with people singing and dancing.
Jia Ke stationed his cavalry outside the city and hurried into the city to deliver orders to the Ministry of War. When Jia Ke arrived at the Ministry of War, not only the Minister of War was there, but also King Beijing was waiting for a long time.
As soon as King Beijing saw Jia Ke, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. He said to Jia Ke, "I have been looking forward to the return of my nephew for the past few days. I am relieved when my nephew arrives today."
Jia Ke quickly said respectfully: "Prince Dumeng is thinking about you. Thank you very much, Jia Ke."
"Nephew, you don't need to be so polite. We have been friends for several lifetimes. You have made great contributions this time, but the emperor will not reward you for the time being. When the emperor succeeds to the Ancestral Temple in a few days, and the emperor still needs you, these days
Don't wander around at home today. Once you get past the Ancestral Temple and win, the emperor will reward you heavily." King Beijing said a few words to Jia Ke in a cryptic way.
As soon as Jia Ke heard this, he knew that something big was going on. But what could make the emperor so fearful? As the emperor's confidant, what must King Beijing know?
King Beijing did not notice the cold light flashing in the eyes of Huo Tu, the Minister of War next to him. King Beijing did not avoid Huo Tu when he spoke, because he was also the emperor's confidant, otherwise the emperor would not let him be the Minister of War, but he did not expect
Huo Tu had other ideas in mind.
After Jia Ke handed over the order from the Ministry of War, he returned to Rongguo Mansion with his soldiers. As soon as he entered the mansion, he ran into Lin Zhixiao.
As soon as Lin Zhixiao saw Qi Jiake, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and then asked with some complaints: "Master, what should I do with the slave you sent before the battle? Now he only eats and drinks at home every day and yells. The master has already asked
Several times. If I hadn’t given special orders, I would have kicked him out long ago."
Jia Ke, I just remembered Benbuli whom he captured in front of the battle. It seems that when he was chasing the Tatars, he was sent back to Rongguo Mansion. Everyone in Rongguo Mansion didn't know what to do with him, so they could only treat him well.
Provide good food and drink.
"Where is this person now? Take me to have a look." Jia Ke asked.
Lin Zhixiao hurriedly led the way, and said to Jia Ke as he walked: "Uncle, when your soldiers sent him here, I arranged him in the stable in the south courtyard. How many vacant rooms are there? Just for him.
He lives there and doesn't have to disturb others."
"Then he should be quite honest these days, right?"
"Honest? Uncle, don't be ridiculous. These days, he comes out to cause trouble whenever he has time. A few days ago, he took wife Li's wife's textile cart to play with. When she returned it, it was already falling apart. Wife Li asked me to
After a good complaint, it’s better for me to put the money in the account, and then it’s over.” Lin Zhixiao complained.
"Then did he bully or hit others?" Jia Ke then asked.
"That's not true. To be honest, this person is somewhat naive, but a little unsophisticated and stupid."
Jia Ke smiled after hearing what he said, thinking that there is no perfect thing in this world. He gave this man an invincible body that day, but did not give him extraordinary wisdom, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss.
After a while, they came to the room next to the stable. They heard thunderous snoring inside. Lin Zhixiao stepped forward and opened the door. They saw Ben Bray sleeping soundly inside, with leftovers on the table next to him.
chicken.
Jia Ke patted his shoulder forward, and Benbuli immediately woke up. His arm involuntarily hit Jia Ke, and he lightly grabbed it with his left hand. Benbuli couldn't move at all.
Benbuli woke up immediately, looked up and saw that it was Jia Ke. He quickly knelt down on the bed, lowered his head, and said embarrassedly: "Master, I didn't mean it. I used to sleep in the wild, and as long as something touches me
, I will punch him right away."
Jia Ke didn't take this to heart. Hearing that he often slept in the wild, he asked, "Don't you have a family? Are you living alone in the wild?"
Benbrae said: "My parents thought I ate too much and didn't know how to work. They kicked me out when I was a teenager. I have been wandering here. Only a few days ago, someone prepared food for me.
