At noon on the seventh day of October in the fourth year of Jiajing, Wang Shouren, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, led the army of Qinwang from all walks of life to arrive outside the Chaoyang Gate of the capital, with a total strength of 250,000 troops, known as 500,000 to the outside world.

However, at this time, both Bodi Khan and Alta had already led their troops to retreat, and the army of Qinwang from all walks of life sharpened their swords and came to Huohuo, but they did not even catch half of the Tartar's leg hair, which was really annoying. Wang Shouren couldn't cry or laugh at this, and even said that Xu Ziqian was not kind, and he ate meat by himself, but he didn't even leave a bite of soup for everyone.

Of course, this is just a joke, everyone knows that Lao Wang is praising and admiring Governor Xu, however, it is not excluded that some generals who have made meritorious contributions feel lost, after all, this kind of great achievement is not easy to have, and now I have run in vain, but the credit is not earned, it is too sad!

However, the lost generals soon began to get excited again, as the battle order from the general Xu Jin was soon issued, and the generals pursued Bodi Khan and Alta in two directions.

Whether it was the Bodi Khan or the Alta Division, it was obviously unrealistic to pursue the cavalry with infantry, so Xu Jin selected 60,000 cavalry from the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang from all walks of life, divided into two routes, and then each with 70,000 infantry to act together, and pursued Bodi Khan and Alta separately.

Xu Jin himself led one line of soldiers and horses to pursue Alta, while Wang Shouren led another line of soldiers and horses to Gubeikou to pursue Bodi Khan.

After discussion, Xu Jin and Wang Shouren set a 16-character policy of "the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I pursue, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, and if I can eat, I will eat".

The so-called sixteen-character policy, which can be summed up as playing ~ rogue ~ hooligan, the enemy runs away, and I will hang my boots and bite like a ghost; If the enemy turns around and strikes me, I will immediately anoint oil on the soles of my feet; If the enemy stops to catch his breath, I will harass them; If a small group of enemies is left alone, eat them without hesitation.

The reason why such an obscene ~ trivial strategy was adopted was precisely because considering the strong combat power of the Tartar cavalry, the Ming army was much inferior, which was not only safe, but also could form an effective oppression for the Tartars, so that they did not dare to deviate from the route and loot, causing casualties and losses to the people in the villages and towns along the way.

On the morning of the eighth day of October, Xu Jin and Wang Shouren each set off with an army of 100,000 troops.

The 16-character policy set by Xu Jin and Wang Shouren was undoubtedly quite effective, with 30,000 cavalry pressing in front and 70,000 infantry echoing the follow-up, steadily advancing forward, forming a strong threat to the Tartars.

Although I answered that this time I went south to attack Ming, although I almost broke the Ming Dynasty's national ancestry, but I also lost half of the soldiers and horses, the key is that most of the property I robbed, most of which he gave to Bodi Khan in exchange for trust, so after careful calculation, I answered that this time I went south to do a loss-making transaction, and the only benefit I got was reputation and a large number of Han slaves.

Because of this, I plan to take advantage of the retreat to collect enough food supplies for the winter in the villages and towns along the way, otherwise even if he succeeds in retreating beyond the Great Wall, this cold season will be quite difficult.

However, Xu Jin led an army of 100,000 to follow behind his ass like a ghost in the boots, which made me answer like a thorn in the back, and the most angry thing was that once he sent troops out to plunder, the cavalry of the Ming army would immediately kill more and bully less, so that my command not only did not grab food and supplies, but also lost soldiers and generals.

I answered in a fit of anger and led the main force back to look for battle, at this time the cavalry of the Ming army slapped the horse's buttocks and fled dozens of miles, when I answered and finally caught up, he was greeted by a well-defended infantry camp, antlers blocking the way, spears like a forest, and the Francophone artillery roaring enthusiastically......

I tried to storm Xu Jin's infantry camp, but in the end, the tiger bit the turtle and had no way to eat, so he could only lead the army to evacuate in a stupid manner, but as soon as his side retreated, the cavalry of the Ming army crept up again.

I was furious and led the army to kill back again, and the result was similar to the last time, so I sent someone to insult Xu Jin in front of the battle, greeting Xu Jin's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, claiming that he wanted to have a relationship with Xu Jin's ancestors for the eighteenth generation of Zhao friendship, trying to scold Xu Jin so annoyed that he went out of the camp to fight him head-on!

As a result, it was naturally useless, Xu Jin calmly selected more than 100 big-headed soldiers with loud voices, and scolded my soldiers in front of the battle, and finally I answered that Xu Jin was not angry, but he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

There was really no way, I could only lead the troops to continue to retreat to Youyu County, Shanxi, along the way did not grab much food and materials, but broke more than 1,000 people, and the kidnapping to the Han people also took the opportunity to escape more than half, I really wanted to cry without tears!

…………

Shuozhou, Shanxi, the wind is like a knife, and the wind is desert. On the head of Shuozhou City, a large flag embroidered with white lotus hunts in the wind, and a team of soldiers with red scarves on their heads are patrolling back and forth on the head of the city.

It is said that since he opened the killing Hukou and let the army go south, Li Fuda also launched immediately, he seized Youyucheng, and sent troops to quickly attack Shuozhou, openly erected a banner to rebel, and recruited troops in Shuozhou City.

Maitreya has been operating in Shanxi for a long time, and there are many believers ~ disciples under the seat, and there are many believers ~ disciples even among the border army, and the reason why Li Fuda can easily take Shuozhou is that the letter ~ disciples in the defenders should be combined with the outside.

Therefore, after Li Fuda raised the banner of rebellion in Shuozhou City, Maitreya disciples from all over the country came to vote, and in a short period of time, he gathered thousands of people, plus the original 3,000 people of Yulinwei, the strength under Li Fuda's command reached more than 6,000.

In addition, the bitter cold on the side, the people lived in difficulty, under the coercion and temptation, there were thousands of local people who took refuge in Li Fuda for a time, so Li Fuda's troops quickly grew to 10,000 people, and the momentum was great!

At this time, the news that the army of Alta had reached the foot of the capital of the Ming Dynasty also came, and Li Fuda no longer hesitated, and decisively led the army south to attack Taiyuan Mansion, preparing to take the west route to occupy Guanzhong.

However, it backfired, Li Fuda only arrived in Xinzhou, Taiyuan Prefecture, he was strongly blocked, and failed to take Xinzhou City for most of the month, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, coupled with food unsustainable, the weather became colder and colder, and heavy snow fell. In desperation, Li Fuda had no choice but to order to withdraw to Shuozhou City to rest.

At this time, in the hall of the government in Shuozhou City, Li Fuda was discussing with his eldest son Li Daren, his third son Li Dali, and a group of generals about the method of attacking Xinzhou again.

However, at this moment, a disciple under Li Fuda's command ran in in a panic and reported: "General, something is wrong, I just received news from the capital that I was defeated under Xu Jin's men, and I am leading 50,000 remnants of the army to retreat to Youyu County, Shanxi!" ”

This was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which stunned Li Fuda and the others, and after a long time, Li Fuda came to his senses and said in a lost voice: "How can this be, the news I received last time, didn't it say that I had already broken through the outer city?" ”

The disciple wiped his cold sweat and said: "I have indeed broken through the outer city, but Xu Jin is very powerful, a few days ago he secretly sneaked back to the capital, he secretly arranged, not only uprooted the inner Ying in the city in one fell swoop, but also tricked me into the city, and killed more than 10,000 cavalry under my command, even Zhao Quan was captured, and it is said that I almost lost my life!" ”

The backbone of the Maitreya Sect in the hall all changed color in shock, and Li Dali blurted out: "It's not good, the second brother (Li Dayi) is afraid that he will be more auspicious!" ”

Li Fuda's face was pale, he really regretted that he didn't kill Xu Jin in the first place, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news of righteousness?" ”

The cultist said tremblingly: "According to the news of the eyeliner, that night the righteous young master personally entered the Xu Mansion and tried to capture Xu Jin's family, but he was ambushed, and now his whereabouts are unknown, I don't know ...... It's life or death! ”

Bang ~ Stuck ......

Li Fuda pressed his palm on the table, and the sturdy poplar table was torn apart on the spot, and all the backbones stood up in shock.

Li Dali gritted his teeth with red eyes and said, "Father, the child will definitely kill Xu Jin, the dog official, to avenge the second brother." ”

Li Fuda deserves to be a hero, after smashing the table with one palm, his face quickly returned to calm, and he said lightly: "Send the order to immediately transport all the materials in Shuozhou City to Youyucheng, and the whole army will withdraw to Youyucheng to answer my answer." ”

Li Dali was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Dad, I am now being chased and killed by Xu Jin like a lost dog, why do we still have to pick him up?" Isn't this self-inflicted misfortune? ”

Li Fuda glared at Li Dali sharply, and the latter was in a pang of heart, but he didn't dare to question it anymore.

Li Fuda swept over the backbone of the audience, and said coldly: "Even I am not Xu Jin's opponent, do you think we can compete with it with our little strength?" ”

Everyone is slightly heartbroken, indeed, there are 50,000 iron horsemen under my command who have been chased and killed by Xu Jin so that there is no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to enter the ground, and his manpower is estimated to be not enough for others to stuff their teeth, if they want to survive, they really have to join me to answer, and there is really no way to follow me to withdraw from the plug to save my life!

At that moment, everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered his soldiers to load the grain and materials from Shuozhou City to Youyu City.
