Marching twenty miles every day, sent out sentries in front for reconnaissance, and sent plunderers behind to always keep an eye on the way back, leaving troops and horses along the way to ensure their return. They even simply marched along the edge of the Great Wall, leaving the Wanquan right guard city with 40,000 troops.
After marching forward, Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, adopted this cautious offensive.
Not only because of the words sent by Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but also because from the bottom of his heart, he did not want to confront the Tatars like this. After all, this was not his original intention at all. However, who could have expected that Xu Xun actually
They used that method to force him to send troops, and Miao Kui, who had always cooperated well with him, not only listened to Xu Xun's tricks, but also asked Chen Xiong to pull out all his troops!
Although the cabinet forwarded Xu Xun's previous memorial and marked it as extremely confidential, he didn't believe what Xu Xun said at all - leaving the good emperor's favorite minister alone, what kind of bait did he have to take such a big risk?
It seems that the previous victory in Shacheng was just a coincidence. Next, Xu Xun didn't know which corner to hide in, but a huge trap and problem was set for him. Because of this, he was holding back a ball of fire and wished he could do this.
Damn boy, he was so clever that he accidentally died on the grassland!
Not long after breaking camp early in the morning that day, he saw a Tanma riding in front of him rushing back like flying. The Tanma had no time to get in front of Zhu Hui and reined up the horse, so he hurriedly rolled off the saddle, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Bao Bao."
Lord, there are troops and horses ahead!"
Although there were only troops and horses in front, not Tatars, Zhu Hui took it for granted that they would not be his own troops, so he immediately ordered all the generals to restrain the entire army with their backs to the Great Wall and wait for it, and simply stopped where they were.
Facing this posture, several generals who had followed him more than once were no strangers to him, and they shouted loudly at their troops to organize the army. After about a quarter of an hour, they saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and there were at least thousands of people.
The army roared in, and most people's expressions suddenly changed.
These Tatars, who used to be in the hundreds, were often able to kill several people in the chaos. How could he deal with these thousands of troops?
"Shu Zi mistook me!"
Zhu Hui didn't know how many times he cursed in his heart, but he was calm and composed on his face. After a while, he continued to pass on orders. Even if there were thousands of horsemen and bandits, as long as his own army's formation was not in chaos, the other side could not break through.
Although some people were injured, it was impossible for the bandits to be completely unharmed. Even if he had the merit of beheading at that time, he could still have an explanation when he went back. And when he encountered such a group of bandits, he could justifiably withdraw into the pass, even if
Whether the emperor or the cabinet, one cannot overly force him!
"Get ready for battle, get ready for battle!"
The voices of the military commanders came and went, causing quite a commotion in the army. Almost all of the 40,000 troops this time were transferred from the Beijing Camp and the 12th Regiment Camp. They are usually said to be guarding the capital, but they are also
It would be better to talk about the handymen who perform various chores. From building palaces to building city walls, from guarding the imperial city to transporting grain to the fields... As long as the imperial court distributes grain and rice every month, most people are doing serious work in the fields.
They were not very willing to do it, and they mostly rented it out to other people, while they did odd jobs themselves, doing errands in the military camp. There were few generals who took the training seriously like Shenying.
The fear and uneasiness from the generals to the soldiers finally completely disappeared after seeing the approaching group of people clearly. Although Zhu Hui still had some doubts about whether the high flags and the military robes of different colors could be the charging bandits.
After scattering the spoils of the Ming Army, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. When a few riders galloped over, some people with good eyesight recognized them, and I don’t know how many people in the army started talking about it.
.
"Guo Bao Gong!"
"Eunuch Miao!"
Zhu Hui and Miao Kui were old partners. At this moment, looking at Miao Kui, although he was dusty, he never looked like he had been in a battle. Moreover, Xu Xun and others were not seen inside. Zhu Hui was determined and decided to make a plan.
After Ma slowly stepped forward, he said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Miao, it would be too hasty for you to ask Chen Xiong to send troops as soon as you informed me! You must know that the Tatars come and go like the wind, and the war situation is changing rapidly. If you
Putting yourself in danger for Xu Xun, wouldn't this be a great slight to yourself?"
This was an honest statement, but its meaning was extremely cunning. If Miao Kui really mobilized a large number of troops, but ended up with nothing, or returned with nothing, he would definitely have a hatred for Xu Xun because of this. However, Zhu Hui was full of expectations.
Looking at Miao Kui carefully, he found that the old eunuch was actually smiling without a hint of anger, and his heart felt a little...
"Thank you Lord Baoguo for your concern. However, it would be a good thing if our family has such old bones and can be loosened up a bit. As for putting himself in danger, if he, a young man less than twenty, dares to take a gamble, what does our family mean?"
?" At this point, Miao Kui paused, and then said with a smile on his face, "Haojiao Guogong learned that this time the troops were sent out smoothly, not counting Xu Xun Shenying and his group, there are also
These soldiers and horses of the Datong Army, our family and those led by Chen Xiong, killed a total of 400 people. It was a great victory that had not been seen in many years! Xu Xun and Shenying died bravely in the battle before they went into the water and the sea under the protection of the Datong Army.
The bones of the soldier were found, and our family wanted to send a letter to the Baoguo Gazette first, so we rushed back with Chen Xiong."
Behead four hundred levels!
Zhu Hui could hardly believe his ears. You know, with the help of Miao Kui, he had previously reported beheading at level 300 instead of level 300. How could he know that Miao Kui was not doing the same thing now? He saw
Chen Xiong was one and a half horses behind Miao Kui, and he asked, "General Chen, according to what Eunuch Miao said, the battle should be quite fierce, but is it like this?"
"Reporting back to the commander, the battle was indeed fierce. Mr. Xu's troops lost nearly 300 people in the previous battles. Fortunately, Yang Dutang and Eunuch Zhang led the Datong army to respond, and Eunuch Miao and Beizhi arrived in time, so they succeeded in defeating the enemy.
More than a thousand people from the Tatar army were killed, and a total of five to six hundred people were beheaded in this battle alone. However, according to what Eunuch Miao said, this did not include the previous harvests of the Datong Army and Master Xu's troops. The three parties added together,
There should be at least more than a thousand, but it has not been officially counted yet."
Chen Xiong was almost imprisoned for a crime in the past, but he was saved thanks to Miao Kui's righteous speech, so the favor he owed can be regarded as a huge sum. However, this time he thought it was a risky attack, but it ended up with such fruitful results. Rather than saying
I am satisfied, rather than overjoyed.
Zhu Hui was about to warn Chen Xiong, but who knew that what Chen Xiong said was even more outrageous than Miao Kui, and his face suddenly became gloomier. However, when Chen Xiong's troops and horses were getting closer, he saw
Many people and horses had one or two bloody heads hanging on their sides. They were filled with disbelief for a moment, and then felt a deep sense of loss.
How is this possible! How could that young boy actually concoct such a victory? Did they massacre a group of herdsmen? That must be the case. The Tatar army came and went like the wind. How could they easily behead thousands of people?
The rest!
When Miao Kui and Chen Xiong led their troops to join Baoguo Gong Zhu Hui, Xu Xun Shenying and Yang Yiqing had also led their troops to Xiashuihai where they had fought fiercely first. Zhang Yong, who had rushed back to Datong in advance, brought his cart and urgently customized
The coffins were rushed back. The corpses of the bandits that had not been cleaned up in time had been counted and confirmed, and the bones of the Ming army that had been hastily buried had been picked up one by one. Although it was midsummer, the smell was very unpleasant, but from above
Everyone at the bottom stood silently, no one complained.
"Brother Xu, you have done a very thorough job. They know the truth, so they will definitely have no regrets. We will try our best to help them get the pension from the imperial court, and the military exploits will be enough for their wives, children, and children to live comfortably in the future.
Comfortable." Seeing Yang Yiqing and Shenying talking there, Zhang Yong patted Xu Xun's arm again, "On the contrary, you captured the little prince's son alive, but you didn't tell old Miao Kui and Chen Xiong.
Instead, they sent Lao Chaihuo and Qian Ning to spread the word on the grassland that it was Yong Xie Bu's people who killed the little prince's son. If Lao Miao Kui and Chen Xiong really find out in the future, they may blame you for not trusting them. You should be more careful.
"
This is not because Zhang Yong put eye drops on Miao Kui and Chen Xiong after his success. Although he and old Miao Kui were still in a competitive relationship, after this battle, he finally felt a little better about the old guy. And he really couldn't make trouble.
Understand, this kind of thing should be publicized in a big way. Why does Xu Xun have to be so low-key?
"The reinforcements from Yongshebu and Ordos combined total more than 10,000 people. According to the usual situation, Tuo Huochi and the little prince's son's army and horses are not enough, but they are the elite of the Khan Court after all. At least we will lose.
Although the two parties were encircled, there was no guarantee that a few people were not missed at that time. When the news spreads, the coalition forces of Yongshebu and Ordos want the head of the little prince's son to contact the various ministries, and the Chahar Khan Court will probably take it back.
When people come, how can we escape so easily...
But now that we are keeping a low profile, naturally no one is aware of it. Even those who escaped did not see us robbing people and came back. Who knows, will the little prince be so angry that he just beheaded the people without asking for confirmation? Then?
If you have more merit, it will not be too much, and if you have less, it will be a lot. This person is still useful, and let them kill each other in a suspicious manner."
"Brother Xu, you really are the only one with the most twists and turns!"
Zhang Yong thought for a while and simply stopped asking Xu Xun what purpose he was keeping. When he saw Shenying and Yang Yiqing walking over there, he nuzzled at Xu Xun and the two of them approached him together.
After a brief conversation, Yang Yiqing said bluntly: "Mr. Xu, the business here is over, and I have to go back to Beijing as soon as possible, but I have to say something about these bones. You have good intentions, but
After all, this is against the rule of the imperial court, and impeachment by the imperial censor will be inevitable. Besides, transporting these from Datong back to Xuanfu and even Beijing City is not a small expense. It is better to wait until they enter the Great Wall.
Find a place around Datong and bury it immediately. First of all, this is within the territory of our Ming Dynasty, so it is convenient for family members to worship. Secondly, the weather is so hot that it will not cause any trouble on the road. Of course, this is just my opinion.
One’s own opinion.”
Xu Xun wanted to transport the bodies of all the victims back, just to prevent these people from dying in a foreign land. In the future, the corpses would be eaten by rats and wolves. Now that Yang Yiqing reminded him, he suddenly realized it and quickly smiled at Yang Yiqing.
He arched his hands.
"Thank you Yang Dutang for reminding me, otherwise I almost did something bad with good intentions. Just do as Yang Dutang said. However, if Yang Dutang wants to enter Beijing, please wait for a day or two. The military situation is not as good as before.
It's urgent. Besides, Yang Dutang is leading Datong's army and horses this time. After all, it is urgent to obey the authority. It is better to return to Beijing with Eunuch Zhang and me at that time, so as not to be attacked by the crowd without even an explanation.
"
"this……"
Yang Yiqing hesitated slightly, but seeing Shenying nodding at him, he finally agreed: "That's fine, I'll just keep bothering you for a few more days!"
