What kind of state the Northern Ming court is in now, and what kind of attitude it has towards Yang Chendong, is unknown. Tie Hu and Bai Zuo couldn't affect those people at all, and all they could do was to do their best to protect the safety of the Sixth Young Master.

After about seven or eight seconds of silence, Tie Hu and Bai Zuo both stood and saluted Yang Chendong with a very standard military salute, "Sixth Young Master, we will definitely do our best, unless we die, otherwise, we will not let anyone threaten your safety." ”

"Hehe, okay, okay, I know what you mean." Yang Chendong's smile was even stronger, what he wanted was such a result. The so-called heart of defense is indispensable, this time he went to Beiming Jingshi and did not mean to kill, but if someone must want to assassinate himself, then I'm sorry, he also took some heads to tell the world that the murderer was always killed.

......

The camp of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment had been built, and the soldiers of the three new regiments had finished clearing the snow for the day, and after eating, they were quickly resting after a hard day's work. Outside the tent, only a few soldiers of the Second Regiment with torches were still patrolling.

Everything seemed so peaceful and peaceful. But just as a very dangerous aura was sweeping in to the southwest, the Tatar cavalry on Mount Saihan finally chose to make a move.

Mazamu was the leader of the Tatar cavalry of the Saihan Mountains. At one of the glory days of the Tatars, he became a member of the Great Khan's subordinates, and showed his ability in constant battles, eventually becoming the commander of all armies.

Later, he first conspired with Agadorji to deal with Tokhtarbuhua, and although he did not succeed in the end, the once glorious Tatar army also turned from prosperity to decline. Mazamu led an army back to Saihan Mountain, and while accumulating strength, he waited for the call of the Great Khan to get rid of it.

But it seems that his luck is not good, first the water pulling team sent before was robbed by mercenaries, which caused him to be angry, and then came the news of the defeat of the 50,000 cavalry of Agadorji, which made him who originally wanted to give Shicheng a powerful look had to suppress the anger in his heart and wait for the opportunity again.

Originally, I thought that even if the opportunity appeared, it would have to wait until the spring of next year. I never thought that in this season of heavy snowfall, the mercenaries suddenly made a move, and they actually wanted to open the city of Taru, and the scouts came with the news that the front and middle troops of the mercenaries had already walked past the side of Mount Saihan, and now the rear army of the mercenaries appeared in front of them.

Speaking of which, Talu City is also his ally, and everyone obeys Yu Toto's orders not to sweat. But in the face of the main force of the mercenaries, Mazamu did not have the confidence to hit it hard and force it back, so he could only watch it pass by his side until the arrival of the rear army, which made him see hope.

Why, your mercenary army is so powerful that even the main Tatar army led by Agadorji can be defeated, then I can't afford to provoke it. But how powerful can your rear army be, especially when the intelligence from the scouts shows that there are still 6,000 recruits in this 8,000-strong mercenary army, Mazamu thinks that his opportunity has come.

With the same strength, the gap between recruits and veterans is very large. It is no exaggeration to say that on the battlefield and under the melee, the five recruits may not be the opponent of a veteran, because they lack combat experience and do not know what to do, in order to survive better and survive better. So under normal circumstances, no matter how large the number of recruits is, it is difficult for veterans to pay attention to and raise their eyes.

And now, there are only 2,000 mercenary veterans plus 6,000 new soldiers, which makes Mazamu see hope, he called the most important general Plata, and decided to divide his 5,000 cavalry, let him raid the mercenary army under the mountain, cut off the other party's retreat, that is, revenge for the previous water grab, but also equivalent to a different kind of support for his ally Amu Gulang.

When Plato received the order, he immediately gathered five thousand cavalry, and after an early dinner, he left the city. By the time it was completely dark, he had come to a place less than ten miles from the barracks of the mercenary rear army.

"It's damn weather." Glancing up at the sky, Plato couldn't help but curse when he saw that the snow was starting to fall again.

If it were summer, ten miles away, he would have been able to strike in front of the enemy with a few charges, and then rush into the enemy camp with shouts and beheadings. But now, in such bad weather, the snow has already submerged the four hooves of the war horse, and it will be so difficult to charge.

"The order went down, so the man dismounted, led the horse, maintained the physical strength of the war horse to the greatest extent, and slowly moved forward." In desperation, Plato had to make such a decision and throw aside the most advantageous warhorse.

Originally, this was also a helpless thing, giving up the advantage and engaging in hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Fortunately, they could not get on their horses, and the same was true for mercenaries. God is still very fair, and gives everyone the same environment, so that Plato is still full of confidence.

The snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and there was a meaning that the light snow had become the middle snow, and Plato and the five thousand cavalry stretched out their feet like this, and walked in the vast snowy land with one shallow foot, and from time to time there would be the sound of soldiers stuck in the snowdrifts, unable to extricate themselves and calling for help from their companions.

The army marched slowly, and finally on the grassland, they had long been accustomed to such bad weather, so in addition to being slower in time, they finally approached the mercenary's rear army camp step by step, and after walking for two hours, they finally came to a place two miles away from the military camp.

Due to the moderate snowfall, the vision of many scouts of the 2nd Regiment was also greatly hindered. Plato's luck was also good, and he still didn't get noticed until he got here. It's just that the good luck is over here, and the five thousand cavalry, if they want to completely hide people's eyes, this is simply impossible, so their appearance was still discovered by the vigilant scouts, and then a white suddenly rose into the sky and crossed the head of Plata's five thousand troops.

Flares!

The white light illuminated the entire earth in that instant, and the figure of the five thousand Tatar cavalry was completely revealed. When the scout saw the number of the other side through this flare, the rapid sound of trumpets resounded throughout the land.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The enemy came cavalry, numbering about four thousand to six thousand people. "The scouts, having calculated the approximate strength of the opposing side by experience, began to run as fast as they could, shouting loudly as the news spread.

"What's that? How can it be so bright, could it be that the moon has fallen from the sky? "There was a lot of talk among the Tatar army, which was frightened by the flares.

They had never seen flares, or even heard of them, and at this moment many people's hearts trembled.

Plato was also taken aback by the flare, but as the commander-in-chief, he knew better that now was not the time to talk about that, and how to stabilize the morale of the army and win the war was what he urgently needed to do.

"The whole army obeys the order and follows me to attack, the other side only has two thousand veterans, plus six thousand new soldiers, and we are attacking suddenly, they can't be our opponents." Speaking in a voice that was extremely bewitching, Plato then set an example with practical actions, and was the first to lead the war horse and rush forward.

If at this time Plath had been able to abandon his horse and rush forward with five thousand Tatar veterans, the distance of two miles would not have been impossible to achieve the possibility of a surprise attack, or even victory in the war. But the steppe warriors trusted their horses too much to know what the consequences of such an act would be.

The flares rose into the sky, and this scene was seen by Ding Shan, the commander of the second battalion, who was keeping vigil. At that moment, his expression was serious, and he said to the soldiers around him: "It's an enemy attack, immediately blow the emergency assembly whistle, and everyone gathers." ”

Doodle, doodle...

A hurried whistle sounded and reverberated throughout the barracks. Out of conditioned reflex, all the fighters who were still asleep at the sound of the whistle reacted immediately, got dressed and got up, rushed out of the camp with weapons stacked in tents, and looked for the team to assemble.

The six thousand recruits also rushed out of the camp one by one. But many of the fighters were still sleepy-eyed, and some even showed dissatisfaction. After a hard day's work to sweep the snow during the day, and at night you have to do emergency assembly training, so do you still have the strength to work during the day?

The warriors who thought like this were not alone, they were all dissatisfied. But after seeing Lu Zhuo, the commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment, walk in front of their team, everyone's expressions became serious, they knew very well that if they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the mercenaries, every performance was important, and they couldn't let a regiment commander see their lazy side.

"Soldiers, we have been attacked by the enemy, and the enemy is less than two miles away from us, now please take up your weapons and fight with the soldiers of the second regiment. Remember, this is not training, it's not a drill, it's a real fight. Salute, after saying these words, Lu Zhuo said a few words to the commander of the recruit regiment on the side, and then strode towards the other recruit regiment.

At such a moment, the entire recruit regiment was like a frying pan.

I thought it was like the previous training, but what I didn't expect was that everything was true, and I was going to participate in the battle? Thinking of the family and siblings who had been waiting for their military exploits in Shijo, the eyes of all the soldiers lit up.

Batu is also in this new corps. Originally, he was also the part of the people who had a discussion in his heart, but now, there are no complaints, some are just shining, and some are just eager to try.
