At this time, at the foot of Saihan Mountain, Shi Wanshan had already arrived here with five thousand reinforcements, not only that, but he had already launched two attacks, under the onslaught of reinforcements, half of the position of Xuanshipo had been taken by them, and the dawn of victory was in front of him.

"Report!" A fast horse scout suddenly appeared in front of the tent of the Chinese army of the Northern Ming Army, and then the cavalry with a sweaty face flew off his horse and fell to his knees, "Report to the commander, a large number of Tatar cavalry suddenly appeared fifty miles away from our rear, and they are coming straight for us." ”

"Rear?" Shi Wanshan's face was cold when he suddenly heard the battle report, and there was an unbelievable look in his eyes.

The commander who was standing on the side, Tongzhi Furukawa, also looked surprised, "What's the matter?" Are you sure it's the Tatar cavalry? Where did it come from? How many people are there? ”

"It's unknown where they came from, but the number should be around 40,000." The scout looked up and then down, reporting what he knew.

"Stand down, probe." When he heard that there were 40,000 enemy riders, Shi Wanshan could no longer calm down. After the scout retreated, he looked sideways at Furukawa on the side, and asked very inquiringly.

"Withdraw the troops, retreat to Taru City first, maybe they are not coming for us." At this time, Furukawa didn't have any better advice, so he could only say it with a fluke mentality.

"Okay, prepare to withdraw immediately, there is not much time left for us." It was only fifty miles away, and the cavalry was there in the blink of an eye, regardless of whether these people were coming at them or not, it was better not to clash for the sake of safety.

The Northern Ming Army, which was still attacking the mountain, suddenly stopped attacking the mountain, and then began to prepare to retreat. Even for the sake of speed, some not very important baggage was decided to be thrown away, and in half an hour, the retreating vanguard army of 2,000 people had already been sent out.

On the Saihan Mountain, the Northern Ming army suddenly stopped the previous fierce offensive, which made the Tatar generals Mazamu and Plaa on the mountain puzzled. Afraid that the Northern Ming army had a plan, they did not dare to act rashly, until a Haidongqing suddenly flew on the mountain and was captured by the domesticated people, then they knew what happened under the mountain.

"Haha, hahaha." Looking at the information that appeared with Hai Dongqing, Ma Zamu laughed, and casually sent the information to the hands of the deputy general Pla, "Look at it, it's General Ku Xiao'er who is here, and he is coming to Saihan Mountain with 40,000 iron cavalry, presumably the Northern Ming Army is in a hurry to retreat to Dalu City because of this news." ”

After Plato took the information and read it, he was also excited, "General, in this way, our opportunity has arrived, does the Northern Ming Army want to escape back?" Hum! After beating us for so long, I don't think it would be better for us to entangle them, buy time for the arrival of General Ku'er, and then destroy them on both sides. ”

"Good. It's just that we have to be careful of the mercenaries in the first city, so that if we leave 2,000 people, we will only take 4,000 people down the mountain. Mazamu offered his own advice.

Plato nodded in agreement, and then went down the mountain with four thousand cavalry, leaving only two thousand soldiers on the mountain. This battle fought with Beiming for several days, and they also lost 2,000 people, and the remaining 2,000 were their last strength.

Shi Wanshan didn't know that he had been targeted, and he didn't know that the Tatar army that suddenly appeared was originally aimed at them.

The 40,000 iron horsemen brought by Ku Bao'er were one of the forces under the command of Tokhtar and the Great Khan. Appearing in the grassland when the spring flowers bloom and everything recovers, they also have their unique name, which is called spring hunting.

That is, spring has arrived, and the cavalry need to go out and walk in order to declare their territory, show their strong strength and show their muscles at the same time, in order to delineate what territory belongs to them, these places are sacrosanct, otherwise, they must be prepared to suffer the key blows of these cavalry.

Unfortunately, the site that Ku Poer chose to inspect this year is near Saihan Mountain, and the appearance of the First City and the change of hands of the Talu City have already made the Tatar army feel a huge threat, and this time it is time to reclaim everything that originally belonged to them.

Most of the previous wars were fought with the Northern Ming, and most of the Ming tribes were attacked by the Ming before, and there were no major conflicts with the Ming army over the years. But now, the appearance of Yang Chendong has broken this situation, and it is necessary for them to fight back in order to declare their status and sovereignty.

Under such circumstances, Ku'er appeared on the grassland with 40,000 iron horsemen. Along the way, the scouts in front came with the news that when the Northern Ming army was attacking Saihan Mountain, he led the army straight to this place, and they wanted to take these Northern Ming troops who dared to cross the line first.

The army came straight to the bottom of Saihan Mountain, and in the ranks of the Chinese army, Su Xiao'er received the news that the Northern Ming army was moving and wanted to retreat, and a grim look flashed on the face of the Mongolian man, "If you want to retreat, I'm afraid it's too late." Where is General Gower, give you 5,000 iron cavalry, set off first, intercept the retreat of the Northern Ming army to the city of Talu, and the main army will arrive later. ”

"Order." A Mongol general in armor clenched his fists and agreed, then rode out, and it didn't take long for 5,000 cavalry to speed up to the bottom of Saihan Mountain.

Ku Xiao'er didn't take a second look at the cavalry, with 5,000 cavalry opening the way, he was confident that the Northern Ming army would not be able to escape. At this time, while he was hurrying, he said to Mu Ren beside him: "General Mu, you can continue to tell me about the god of war." ”

Muren originally belonged to the Tatar forces, and the last time the Mobei Mongolian tribes were about to besiege the city, he saw that the situation was not good, so he fled as soon as possible, and left this area together with the general Qige of Guangwu Town.

There were mercenaries in front of them, and there were Mobei Mongol coalition forces in the north, and in such a situation, they were weak and weak, so they could only give up the hardships here, thinking of going to the south to find Tokhtar and not spending the Great Khan to do the work. I didn't think that I met Ku Xiao'er who came to spring hunting halfway, and now the two sides gathered together, and the strength of the army reached 50,000, and they fought back again.

When he asked, Mu Ren naturally wanted to answer, "Yes, general, speaking of this god of war, he is indeed famous, in this area, but everyone who hears his name, everyone is terrified, after he changed Aga Hu Ma Qi to the first city, he has defeated the 50,000 army of Aga Dorji, and the 20,000 army of the Mobei Mongolian tribe..." Not to mention what changes in Ku Xiao'er's heart after listening to Mu Ren's words, it is only said that in the city of Alu, 40,000 Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared, and according to the scout, there were 10,000 troops following as soon as the news entered the ears of Ning Wenfeng, who was staying at home, the commander of the capital felt the seriousness of the problem.

Wanquan Dusi has a total of 20,000 veterans, before General Furukawa took 10,000 people when he set out, and later Shi Wanshan took 5,000 more, and now there are only 5,000 veterans available in his hands. Among them, there are 2,000 people in Xuanfu who are responsible for training recruits, and he only has 3,000 veterans in his hands.

With 3,000 cavalry, 40,000 cavalry, and 10,000 infantry, that is absolutely impossible. Now the best way is to defend the city, that is, whether it can be defended depends on two questions. However, this commander made an unexpected decision, that is, he wanted to go out of the city to rescue and command Shi Wanshan back.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this time, once the commander and the commander of the capital know that something has happened, he, the commander of the capital, will be able to take the position smoothly. But in the eyes of the very smart Ning Wenfeng, everything is indeed not like this.

If it was peacetime, he might have used his mind in this area. But now that the Tatar army is pressing, he will never use his brains in this area. If you want to stabilize the situation, Wanquan Dusi and Xuanfu are indispensable to Shi Wanshan's guard.

After making the decision to go out of the city to save people, Ning Wenfeng only left 1,000 veterans to guard the city, and at the same time sent someone to inform Deng Qiang, the eunuch who was guarding the Xuanfu, asking him to send 1,000 veterans and 10,000 recruits to guard Talu City, and then he opened the city gate and set off.

The situation is already very critical, and Shi Wanshan, who has thrown a lot of baggage, now wants to retreat to Dalu City immediately, and when the time comes, he will defend the city and have a chance to do so. It can be said that his movements were fast, but the movements of the Tatar army were not slow, and soon the news came from the front that the vanguard of two thousand cavalry was defeated and was retreating sharply.

"The scouts say that General Goyle, who has defeated our vanguard with five thousand cavalry, is now coming to us. There is even worse news, behind us, the guard of Saihan Mountain, Ma Zamu, is also chasing after us with 4,000 cavalry, what should we do? The commander of the capital asked Gu Wanshan with a hint of urgency in his eyes, obviously the situation at this moment was not good beyond their previous imagination.

"Kill, kill a bloody way, and while the other party has not completely surrounded us, we will return to Taru City. Perhaps at this time, the literary style has brought people to us. After a short period of silence, Shi Wanshan gave an answer.

"General Ning?" Furukawa's eyes showed a look of suspicion.

"There is no doubt that Wen Feng has a big picture in his eyes, he knows the importance of the two of us at this time, if something happens to us, he alone will not be able to hold the city of Dalu, and he may even lose Xuancheng, at that time, even if the Tatar army does not want his life, the emperor will take his life." Shi Wanshan said very firmly. I have to say that the years in the bandits' den made his grasp of people's hearts very accurate.

Seeing that Shi Wanshan was so confident, Furukawa could only choose to believe. "Well, so what's going on?"
