Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 21 The Prairie Eagle
On the other side, Li Yan also found that something was wrong.

Could it be that Ye Bushou, who had spread out, was raided?But Li Yan quickly dismissed this idea.

Ye Bu Shou are ghosts wandering around the edge of the battlefield, they are far apart from each other but keep in touch with each other, no army can silently destroy the other side's Ye Bu Shou without being discovered.

What's more, Yebushou of their Dashun Army are all elite veterans, with excellent cavalry and high vigilance.

Li Mou, who came with Li Yan this time, also asked: "Brother, why hasn't the Ming army moved yet? Is it possible that the Chongzhen old man is not planning to break out?"

"No." Li Yan said, "The Ming army will definitely break through tonight."

Li Mou said: "That's strange, what is Chongzhen old man dawdling about?"

After a pause, Li Mou suddenly had a whim and said again: "Brother, will the Ming army break through from the front?"

"That's impossible." Li Yan said with a sneer, "There are four thousand cavalry from our Dashun army and the Gongtu tribe in front of us. With the courage of Chongzhen, he will also..."

Speaking of this, Li Yan's voice stopped abruptly.

Li Mou then asked, "Brother, what is he doing?"

Li Yan suddenly stood up and said, "No, go back!"

"What? Go back?" Li Mou stood up blankly.

Well why go back again?Stop arresting Chongzhen old man?
……

More than a thousand Ming troops had already lined up in the dark.

The dozens of bonfires in the camp behind them were deliberately lit, in order to faintly illuminate the more than one hundred felt tents in the camp, and create the illusion that the Ming army was still sleeping soundly.

But in fact, the Ming army had already assembled in the shadow behind the parapet.

It was pitch black behind the parapet, and more than a thousand people were silent.

With the dim light from the bonfire, only vague outlines can be seen.

Chongzhen turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Wang Daban, are you ready?"

The first task of breaking out was to fill up a section of the trench. Wang Chengen was in charge of this matter. The old eunuch and more than a hundred eunuchs had already filled hundreds of sacks of soil overnight.

After a while, the eunuchs will throw the sacks into the trench to fill in a passage.

Then the Ming army can step on this passage and launch a battle to break out.

After receiving Wang Chengen's affirmative answer, Chongzhen nodded happily and said, "Then let's start."

"Old servant obeys the order." Wang Chengen promised, then turned his head and waved, and the young eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time behind him lifted up the sacks and threw them into the ditch outside the parapet.

In order to reduce the noise, the eunuchs moved very little.

However, the filling speed was very fast, and within a short while, the passage was filled.

Chongzhen pulled down his pocket mask, and then jumped on the horse's back.

Seeing this, the officials on both sides, Xungui and the soldiers of the Ming army mounted their horses one after another. During the whole process, there was no neighing of the horses, only a low snort, and the horses had already taken their titles.

"Zeng..." Chongzhen slowly drew his sword amidst the sound of metal rubbing against each other.

However, just when Chongzhen was about to raise the knife, his movements suddenly stopped and his expression froze.

Under the dark night ahead, a little light of fire jumped out without warning, but this weak light of fire was like a sledgehammer hitting Chongzhen's heart heavily.

Because this is by no means a little fire!
This should be... an army!
Sure enough, the flame quickly turned into a piece!
"This..." Wang Jiayan and other officials were also stunned.

……

Li Yan was also stunned for a moment.

Li Mou also said in astonishment: "Brother, is this the reinforcements from General Li You or General Gu Kecheng?"

"No." Li Yan shook his head resolutely, "Our courier was just dispatched this afternoon, so it is impossible for the reinforcements of General Li You and General Gu Kecheng to arrive so soon!"

Li Mou said: "So you are a Mongolian?"

Li Yan said: "It's impossible, the reason is the same."

"Whose reinforcements would that be?" Li Mou said, "Could it be the Ming army?"

"Leave him alone!" Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Let's hurry back to the West Bank!"

Now Li Yan is not only worried that Chongzhen will run away, but also worried about the safety of the West Bank camp. He only left [-] people for Li Nian. Just [-] people in [-] would definitely not be able to withstand it, so all the luggage left in the camp would be gone.

And without the luggage, they will have difficulty moving an inch in the Chahar Grassland.

Therefore, it is necessary to return to the West Bank as soon as possible to keep the food and supplies in the camp.

With Li Yan's order, the war horses that had been lying flat in the grass stood up one after another.

Immediately afterwards, one after another torches were lit up, instantly illuminating the east bank of the Baihe River as bright as day.

Almost at the same time that the Dashun Army lit up the torches, hundreds of torches were also lit up in the southeast corner, that is, in the direction of the lower reaches of the Baihe River, but the ambush soldiers from the Gongtu Division couldn't hold back and showed up on their own initiative.

Li Yan didn't even look at it.

He had already guessed that Gongtubu was there.

……

Li Yan didn't take the ambushes of Gongtu's troops to heart.

The official of Daming, Xungui, turned pale with fright.

Before the sudden cavalry in front of them could understand, another ambush suddenly appeared on the other side of the river, and not one, but two ambush soldiers!

If the breakthrough is carried out according to Wang Jiayan's plan,

Not only the main force going north will run into the ambushes, but Chongzhen and the small number of elites who went south will also be intercepted by the ambushes in the southeast corner, and the final result can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiayan broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the Holy One didn't listen to him, otherwise it would be all over.

However, Chongzhen's mood did not improve much.

Because this perfect breakout plan has been ruined.

Originally, taking advantage of the fact that the main forces of the Liu Zei and Gongtu Division were on the east bank, at least an hour could be spared, because wading across the river takes time, and before crossing the river, soldiers must take off their armor and then roll it up into a ball Putting it on the head, after crossing the river, you have to wipe your body clean first, and then put on clothes and armor, which takes time.

Otherwise, it is easy to get sick wearing wet armor.

Of course, if it's an urgent moment, you don't care about whether you get sick or not, and you just force it.

For example, right now, the Rogue Cavalry in the northeast corner and the Rabbit Cavalry in the southeast corner don't care about these things. They don't care about taking off their clothes and armor, so they directly urge their horses to rush into the icy river.

So, now, it is impossible to break through.

Chongzhen once again set his sights on the grassland ahead.

Who the fuck?Broke my breakout plan!

……

"Hahaha, it's quite timely."

Hu Xinshui looked up to the sky and let out a happy laugh.

Hu Guozhu pointed forward and asked, "Abba, what's going on?"

"You might as well guess." Hu Xinshui said, "What happened in front?"

"I guess." Hu Guozhu scratched his head and said, "I can't guess."

Hu Xinshui said: "Then let me tell you what happened. The camp ahead is divided into three places, and the distance between them is about [-] steps. It can be seen that they belong to three different camps."

"That is to say, besides the Ming army and the Gongtu tribe, there is another army."

"This is also the army we found in Wuling Valley before. I guess it should be the bandit."

Pointing to the east bank of the Baihe River, he said, "Judging from their outfits, the two cavalry that are crossing the river should be the ambushes of the bandits and the Gongtu tribe. They must think that Chongzhen will lead the Ming army to break out from the east bank tonight. , so we waded across the river ahead of time and waited for him on the east bank, but our father and son got in the way, haha."

Hu Guozhu cast an admiring gaze on Hu Xinshui: "Abba, you are really amazing."

"Then you should learn more." Hu Xinshui rubbed Hu Guozhu's head lovingly.

While the father and son were talking, a thousand barbarians had slowly approached the Gongtubu camp.

Hu Xinshui didn't want to start a war with Gongtubu, he just wanted to sing a show with his former friends.

At this time, Boritie China had returned to the west bank with the wet main cavalry of the Gongtu tribe. After meeting with Hai Rigu, he quickly formed a horizontal formation of cavalry to meet Hu Xinshui's thousand barbarians.

About a stone's throw away, the two stopped in a tacit understanding.

Then Hu Xinshui led Hu Guozhu out of the cavalry formation slowly.

Seeing this Bori Tie Chi Na was stunned for a moment, and then rode alone to urge his horse out of battle.

Until the distance was less than ten steps, Hu Xinshui and his son and Boritie China stopped at the same time.

"It's you!" Boritie China said in a deep voice with shock on his face, "Briged! The eagle of the grassland! I didn't expect you to be alive!"

"Didn't expect that?" Hu Xinshui said, "Boritie China, you traitor!"

"You're talking nonsense." Boritiechi roared in an angry hiss, "I'm not a traitor."

Hu Xinshui said: "You Gongtu tribe betrayed the descendants of the Jin family, and you still say you are not a traitor?"

Boritiechi roared angrily: "The Golden Family has been the patron saint of the grassland for generations, but you and your father abandoned the clan and fled the grassland. The Golden Family has no descendants like you. The great Genghis Khan does not have such cowardly descendants as you, you shouldn't come back!"

"So?" Hu Xinshui said sarcastically.

"You want to kill An Da who grew up together?"

"You are not my answer, I don't have an answer like you."

Boritie China snatched Sulu Ding's spear from his subordinates and urged his horse to charge towards Hu Xinshui.

Hu Guozhu was eager to try, but Hu Xinshui stopped him with his hand: "This is Dad's business."

Immediately, the two began to rush back and forth, but Hu Xinshui's one thousand barbarians and the Gongtu tribe's two thousand cavalry watched the whole process from the beginning to the end. This is the Mongolian rule.
