Chapter 437: Mongol Invasion

Although Tianlang is very calm now, he is still anxious after hearing the news. Although he expected Datong to be lost, he felt that as the head of the nine sides, he could withstand ten days and half a month. At that time, Qiu Luan's reinforcements arrived, and the reinforcements transferred from the capital in the pass, it is not impossible to defeat Mongolia, at least to defend Datong. After all, the Mongolian cavalry fought fiercely in field battles, but they were powerless to face the strong city.

But now, Datong was lost one day, and the morale of the Mongolian army can be higher than the sky. If there are really a hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry, Datong Town, which is considered prosperous and prosperous in the nine borders, does not have to worry about logistics supply issues. At that time, Qiu Luan will not say that he will cut off the people's backs and eat them all without setting up an ambush for people, and even if he burns a high incense.

After thinking about it, Tianlang didn't have a good idea. What Lu Bing did now rushed to the capital and informed the emperor about this and withdrawing all the three camps outside the capital into the city to defend. It seemed that the only way was to do it. The three camps of Tianlang had also seen that their combat effectiveness was worse than that of the border troops of Xuanfu, and they were mostly old and weak. Fighting with Mongolian soldiers in the wild was like driving a sheep into the mouth of a tiger. Only by leaning against the high walls and deep ponds of Beijing City and firmly clearing the walls, can all reinforcements be able to survive until the rescue of various reinforcements.

Tianlang sighed. Such military and national affairs had exceeded his ability. He thought of the subsequent battle results that night. He looked at Feng Wu and asked: "It's useless to think about these things. I can only pray for God to help. After we left that day, what was the situation in the camp? In a battle between Leng Tianxiong and Helianba, who won and who lost? I heard from the people in the town that he won more than one thousand at that time, so what happened?"

Feng Wu smiled: "After you left, the reinforcements from Xuanfu arrived. Altan left behind were not elite troops. When he saw the large troops arrived, he retreated in all directions. After Leng Tianxiong and Helianba fought for a while, no matter how he won or lost, Helianba saw our cavalry attack, and in a hurry he snatched a few horses with his two brothers and fled eastward."

"And Qiu Luan crawled out of the big tent. He was covered in dust. He thought Leng Tianxiong and Qu Caifeng were the people sent by Yan Song to harm him. Once he had to join his subordinates, he ordered these soldiers to attack Leng Tianxiong and others, saying that they were Mongolian spies and kidnapped him outside the pass. Leng Tianxiong suffered a loss and shot more than a hundred people to death. You must know that on the battlefield, bows and arrows flew across the battlefield. Iron cavalry rushed, no matter how good your martial arts were, they could not be used. In the end, Leng Tianxiong and his subordinates fought to death and opened a bloody road, broke out of the siege, and disappeared."

Tianlang let out a sigh. He could think of the thrilling moment: "I'm afraid that Qiu Luan was afraid that Leng Tianxiong and others would tell the matter of peace talks with the Mongolians, so that he would start first and want to kill people to silence the words. This person is quick-witted and black-bellied, but unfortunately he is not used for the right path. After defeating Mongolia this time, the first thing he has to get rid of is this person."

Feng Wu smiled slightly: "That's the future. I think we have to think about how to overcome this crisis now. Tianlang, the commander-in-chief, asked us to stay and find ways to stop the Mongolian army from advancing. If it doesn't work, we will go back to the capital to join him. He also said that we have made great mistakes this time, and we will be treated as atonement. If we don't do well, we will be punished with both sins. After returning to the capital, we will be punished severely."

Tianlang smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you going to be punished again? I made an appointment with him before leaving the seclusion this time. If I could disrupt the negotiations between Qiu Luan and Altan Khan, I would have lost my merits."

Feng Wu blinked: "Did you know our commander-in-chief on the first day? Now the Mongolian soldiers have broken through the barriers. In fact, our operation was considered a failure, because although Qiu Luan and Altan Khan turned against each other, they did not stop attacking Datong and took the pace of the capital. Now the commander-in-chief is going to return to Beijing to defend the emperor, and the task of restraining the Mongolian army is the only way to rely on you. As for me, I will stay to monitor you."

Tianlang was amused and crying: "This time you sneaked out of the headquarters of the capital. This crime is much greater than mine. At least I have made a trick to kill Altan Khan and Qiu Luan. It was just that I came back one day late because I encountered a sandstorm, so I became the target of your surveillance? Is there any reason for it?"

Feng Wu thrust her chest proudly and said proudly: "Hehe, please explain this to the commander-in-chief in the future. He has left now, and you have not come back before he left. He was very angry at that time and said that if he was on the battlefield, he would have killed you. If I hadn't pleaded for you, I'm afraid he would really take your life this time. After all, the state affairs are like this now, can you still expect him to be in a good mood?"

Tianlang was speechless. Thinking about it, it was indeed the case. He raised his head and said, "Then why don't you go back with the commander-in-chief? Didn't you say you should try to distance yourself from me so as not to make him misunderstanding?"

Feng Wu's face turned slightly red: "You idiot, now, who else would like you except me? You are now the number one celebrity in the Jinyiwei, and you are loved by the commander-in-chief. Many people want to take this opportunity to stomp you hard. If I hadn't stayed, but instead of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Darklin or Murong Wu, I'm afraid you will lose your skin even if you don't die."

A cold light flashed in Tianlang's eyes, and he said coldly: "I want to see who has the ability to take my Tianlang's life! Those who are not afraid of death can come over."

Feng Wu shook her head: "Look at you, it's here again. Yes, you are indeed extremely skilled in martial arts. They can't kill your life. But if you deliberately stumbling, such as asking you to assassinate Altan Khan, or burn the Mongolian food and grass, do this kind of mission that will surely die, will you go? Even if you can save your life and come back, as long as you can't complete the mission, you will still be engaged in military law. Tianlang, you want to serve the country now, instead of being angry with others, right?"

Tianlang sighed: "What you said makes sense. I am indeed impatient now. Feng Wu. Maybe it was because I heard the Mongolian army breaking through the pass today, and it was so messy that I said such words. Sorry."

Feng Wu nodded: "Tianlang, you are extremely smart, but your personality is not calm enough. But this is also what I like. If you are really so scheming and not showing your emotions, you will lose your most valuable straightforwardness. I, Feng Wu, have seen too many people wearing masks and playing tricks. No matter how strong your martial arts or your status is, I will not care about it."

Tianlang looked at Feng Wu, her color was very calm. Obviously, the passage just now was said after careful consideration, and it was not a momentary intention. However, when she looked at her eyes, she was full of love, just like a young girl in her heart looking at her lover with a passionate look on her face.

Tianlang turned his head, avoided her hot gaze, and changed the topic: "Then what should we do now? What can we do to restrain and attack the Mongolian army?"

Feng Wu said: "I think the first thing we need to do now is to keep up with the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army is a full cavalry. Unlike our Central Plains army, we have to drive a baggage truck and a large amount of food and grass. Their war horses come and go like the wind, while the cavalry carry meat that can be eaten for about a month to make dry food. Therefore, the common methods of burning military rations in our Central Plains are not effective for Mongolian soldiers."

"After catching up with the Mongolian army, there are only two things that can be done. One is to inquire about the enemy's combat plan, find out their march route, and inform us. The other is to take the opportunity to assassinate the Mongolian Khan or general. If we are lucky enough to kill Altan Khan, then the Mongolian army will have to retreat even if it does not retreat."

Tianlang shook his head: "It's not easy to talk about it. This time, the three Helianba brothers are all around Altan. Moreover, from the scene where Altan Khan and Qiu Luan had a secret conversation, those Mongolian warriors were not weak, and their strength was at least as high as the elite disciples of the great sects of good and evil. Moreover, it was said that the Mongolians often used substitutes to confuse the enemy in marching and fighting. There were 100,000 troops, tens of thousands of yurts, and dozens of miles of the camp. We didn't understand Mongolian language, so how could we sneak into the military camp, find Altan and assassinate?"
