Nine-tenths of a drawdown. When the silver arrived, it was sad for the two general soldiers, and the soldiers below knew that the emperor had given them 100,000 taels of silver to reward them, but only with these silvers, divided into 200,000 troops, how much money could one person get?

It's better not to divide such a little money? But if you don't divide it, it will inevitably hit the fighting spirit of the fighters below, how is it good?

Hearing that the silver has been shipped, many generals and soldiers who have made war exploits have shown their eagerness, and in desperation, the two general soldiers had to take out 10,000 taels of silver to reward some people with obvious military merits, but more people did not get a tael of silver, which made many soldiers begin to complain, and the army's heart was turbulent.

It was at this time that the first counterattack arrived, first outside the chaotic well city in the Hetao area, more than 200,000 cavalry and more than 100,000 cavalry suddenly appeared. The momentum was so huge, when the news reached the ears of Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Datong, he didn't believe it.

"How is it possible, how many soldiers are there before, how can there be so many enemies at once? It's absolutely impossible. ”

The roar was still ringing in the big tent, and the scout general who reported was already half-kneeling on the ground, "Lord General Soldier, it is not only the Wara cavalry who has come, but also the cavalry of the Yili Jiangli (now Turpan) Division, which has also merged with them first, and now their front army is about to come into contact with our front army, how to decide, please ask the Chief Soldier to break off quickly." ”

When he heard that Yili had sent troops, Yang Hong threw himself back into his chair with a thud. Things were completely unexpected, originally he was a soldier with a wide range of generals, but now, everything has been reversed, he has become the inferior side, plus when the silver was divided before, many soldiers were still dissatisfied, how can such a military spirit fight with the enemy?

"Retreat, the whole army retreats, retreats to Helan Mountain, and goes to Ningxia to defend and wait for reinforcements." Yang Hong knew that time waited for no one, so he hurriedly issued a military order.

Before the enemy retreated, because there was not enough plan before, so that the 200,000 Ming army in the exit of the formation chaos, taking this opportunity, Wara and Yili to launch a crazy impact on the coalition army, the Chaojing City was surrounded by the Warat army also took advantage of the situation to kill, under the two phases, the Northern Ming army was defeated, more than 10,000 people were killed, more than 40,000 were captured, countless escapes, and even a hundred red-coated cannons in the army were lost, only 10,000 musket battalions retreated.

By the time Yang Hong returned to Ningxiawei with his army, the 200,000 troops at the time of the dispatch were now only 100,000. This tragic situation made Yang Hong feel like vomiting blood, but the situation made him still bite the bullet and ask for help from the Northern Ming Jingshi.

Yang Hong of Hetao was defeated, and he was busy cleaning up the battlefield first, catching deserters and settling the prisoners, and at the same time, he also tried to send the general Kun Sha in the interior to lead 30,000 cavalry to the direction of Wolf Mountain, he wanted to cross Wolf Mountain and Yin Mountain to relieve the siege of Shajing City, but the real purpose was to fight the Northern Ming Xuanfu army there.

It has been nearly two months around Shajing City, seeing that the other party has run out of food, Shi Wanshan, who can capture the city, suddenly got an urgent report from the scouts, they encountered too many defeated soldiers in front, they all said that Yang Hong was defeated, and now there are Yili to bring the cavalry to the Shajing area.

Before coming to the map, Shi Wanshan quickly judged that they would be the next target of the alliance forces of Wara and Yili Jiangli. The troops, and even the combat power, were not far from the other party, Shi Wanshan had to give up the Shajing City that was about to be in his hands, and even the Jingzhou City, which had just been captured, also gave up at the same time, and retreated straight to the Sanbula River behind him.

Shi Wanshan knew very well that Jingzhou City was a lonely city, and once the army retreated there, if the reinforcements did not appear in time, just the food and drink of the 200,000 army would be enough to crush it. Therefore, when making this decision, he knew that he would be punished for abandoning the city and fleeing, but neither Gu He, Ning Wenfeng, who had been promoted to deputy chief soldier, nor Deng Qiang, the eunuch guarding the town, had any doubts.

More and more Datongfu soldiers retreated from the battlefield, and it was the line of Jingzhou that took the line, the appearance of nearly 50,000 people, which brought Shi Wanshan's army to be more discouraged, and some unaware soldiers fled with these deserters, so that the affected Xuanfu soldiers also appeared chaotic.

Under the urgency of the military situation, Shi Wanshan had no time to make more arrangements, so he could only watch the chaos in the army and retreat sharply towards the Sanbula Sichuan City behind him.

The enemy chased too quickly, the city of Sanbula Chuan was not big, and the four gates could not allow more than 200,000 troops to enter in a short period of time, and many soldiers saw Kun Sha with 30,000 iron horsemen chasing behind him, so they had no choice but to give up entering the city and go to the northeast in the degree.

Their goal is very clear, it is the first city on the grassland, Shicheng. Many of them had heard of it before, and that it was a paradise for the Han people, and as long as they got there, they could earn a lot of money and keep themselves safe.

50,000 Datong deserters plus more than 10,000 affected Xuanfu deserters, a total of 60,000 people frantically opened their legs and came in the direction of Shicheng.

"Hehe, 60,000 young and strong laborers, this is a good thing, and I have received them all." If you don't take the benefits for nothing, Yang Chendong will never give up such an opportunity. While he ordered the logistics division to open a shelter between Mount Saihan and the city of Taru, he ordered the New First Army to go there and take charge of law and order there. In addition to preventing these 60,000 deserters from making trouble, there is also a more important purpose, which is to prevent Yili from rushing the cavalry inside.

General Kunsha chased all the way, except for picking up some weapons and baggage thrown by the Northern Ming soldiers on the road, the deserters captured by Zhizheng were only a thousand, which made him very unhappy. When the army came to the city of Sanbulachuan, and saw that this place was already heavily guarded, and the city tower was full of Northern Ming soldiers, Kunsha, who did not bring siege weapons, gave up capturing here, but continued to go north, he took a fancy to the 60,000 captives who escaped, if they could all be intercepted and used for their use, it would be a great victory.

The goals of the two sides were the same, and the Five Star Army and the Yili forces met on the grassland. Hundreds of shelters have been built, and the Beiming soldiers who fled here can finally let go of their worries, line up one by one, enter the registration in an orderly manner, and prepare to enter the Shicheng and enter the logistics division sequence. Around them is more than 20,000 cavalry towering, it is the new army of the Tiger Mang, from here to the south, you can already vaguely see the grassland cavalry army coming from afar.

Kun Sha was riding on a horse, surrounded by fierce cavalry warriors, just as they continued to advance, the vanguard general and Kegen appeared in front of him on war horses, "General, a large number of five-star troops with five-star flags have been found in front. ”

"Five-Star Army, Heavenly Khan's Army?" Another lieutenant, Uliji, spoke up. "General, before we came, General Yexian repeatedly told us not to be enemies of the Five-Star Army, you see."

"Look at what you see." With a nonchalant face, Kunsha's eyes flashed with contempt. As the general of Yili Jiangli, their territory does not border the Five-Star Army, and what they know and know is just some rumors. Although this Ming Loyal and Courageous Duke has a lot of titles, such as the Khan of the Heavens, the God of War, the God of War, the Messenger of the Immortal Heaven, etc., all of this is not in Kun Sha's eyes, what he advocates is only strong strength. "How many of them are there?"

"It's a lot, maybe not as much as we are, but it's not much different." and Kegen reported.

"Hehe, not as much as us, so what's so scary. These 60,000 Ming soldiers were captured by us all the way, and we saw that they were about to arrive, and now they want us to go, where is there such a thing in the world. In this way, you go and tell them with Kegen, we are not embarrassed, don't the Han people have a saying, it is called meeting and dividing half, even if this is the case, let them give us 30,000 prisoners, and we will withdraw our troops. ”

"Negotiations? But what if they don't agree? He Kegen didn't think that at this time, the other party would buy his own account, after all, the fat in his mouth had to be taken out, and he was afraid that no one would easily agree if it was replaced.

"Disagree? Then not only do we want all these 60,000 people, but we also want these five-star troops to be taken prisoners, and the first city behind him, I heard that it is the largest city in the grassland, hehe, it makes people want to see and see. Kun Sha said proudly.

In the past, it was suppressed by the Tatar detachment without sweating, and it was difficult for Yili's hands to touch it. But now it's different, Tokhtar is dead, the Tatar forces are also falling apart, and they have a relationship with Yexian again, and now there is no one to suppress them, what is there to be afraid of. Besides, people have been saying that the Han people are a group of grass-eaters, and they attach great importance to Confucianism, which is the great principle of being a man. Perhaps as soon as his horse team charged, these people would flee in fright, just like those Ming soldiers outside the chaotic well city, didn't they see them coming, and they fled.

Kun Sha treated the Five Star Army as if it were the Ming Army, which in itself was his biggest mistake.

He Kegen, who had received the order, turned and returned to the front army, and then led straight to the camp of the new army with fifty iron horsemen.

Three miles before the camp, they were surrounded by hundreds of cavalry of the reconnaissance regiment, and the regiment commander Ding Shan rode on a red horse, and appeared in front of He Kegen without hurry, blocking the way of these cavalry.
