Shanhaiguan.

When Xiao Ming laid out the privateer plan, his order to attack the barbarians had already arrived.

When Lei Ming read the military order from Qingzhou, he suddenly burst out laughing.

A group of generals of the Guanning Iron Cavalry surrounded him with puzzled expressions, and one of the lieutenants asked, "What is it that makes the Governor so happy?" ”

Lei Ming carefully put away the military order stamped with the seal of King Qi and said, "The Governor of Dadu said that His Royal Highness asked us to go out of the customs to kill the sharp spirit of the barbarians. ”

"It's finally time for war, hehe, our hands are itching."

"That's it, now that the barbarians are dishonest again, it's time to give them a little color."

"Beat them up and let them understand how powerful our Guanning Iron Rider is." , the voices of the generals were higher than the other.

Lei Ming stretched out his hand to signal the generals to calm down, and he said: "It has been five days since this order was issued, but according to the governor, this time it only needs to be done in moderation, and you can't fight to the death with the barbarians, and you can retreat if you take advantage." ”

The generals who were excited just now suddenly wilted, and one of the generals said, "It turns out that you didn't continue to fight north." ”

"It's that you're thinking too much, if you continue to fight north, the Qingzhou Army will not be stationed in Shanhaiguan a long time ago."

"Who said that only the Qingzhou Army can fight in us, and our Youzhou Army is trained in vain?"

"Training is training, but our Youzhou Army only has a total of 3,000 muskets, which is not enough."

The generals discussed again, and finally everyone looked at Lei Ming, "Governor, the equipment of our Youzhou army is really poor, can you mention it to the Governor of Dadu, otherwise how can we fight the barbarians." ”

Lei Ming was suddenly a little embarrassed, he had already asked Qingzhou this question more than once, but they had only received 3,000 muskets during this period of time, but now the Youzhou Army has only trained 20,000 musketeers after careful selection, not including the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which has been expanded to two people.

"It can't be said that Qingzhou just sent us 10,000 war horses a few days ago? These war horses are all from King Zhao's fiefdom, so it can be seen that His Royal Highness still treats our Youzhou Army preferentially. Lei Ming explained that what he was most afraid of was that the generals would ask him for equipment.

When the general heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, the 20,000 war horses were only given to half of the Youzhou army, and because of this, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was expanded to 20,000 at once.

Clearing his throat, Lei Ming's expression became serious, and he said: "Now we will immediately carry out the order from Qingzhou, now you immediately gather men and horses to set up an ambush outside the city, and once the barbarian scouts come to investigate, kill them immediately." ”

"Yes." The generals responded in unison.

The order was given, and the generals left one after another, and after a while, a rumbling bell suddenly sounded in the Shanhai Pass, and the cavalry in the barracks quickly assembled.

They then set out outside the customs to carry out their plan of assault on the barbarian scouts.

This time Lei Ming did not lead the troops, and at this time he stood on the wall of Shanhaiguan and watched the five thousand cavalry disappear into the vast grassland.

Behind him, the walls that had been destroyed in the war had been repaired, and they were much larger and thicker than before.

Nowadays, Shanhaiguan is not only difficult to attack on the side facing the north, but also difficult to attack in the weak south.

The granary in Shanhaiguan has now been stocked with grain for three years, which makes the soldiers in Shanhaiguan have no worries about starvation.

At the same time, the soldiers can also receive a monthly salary, which makes the soldiers in the army more and more enthusiastic, but this is only one of the reasons, the deeper reason is that Xiao Ming promised them the same as Youzhou, they take an inch of land, and the future land will be distributed to the soldiers.

And just as Xiao Ming promised, after recovering Youzhou, they distributed the land to the Youzhou soldiers, and the land was all fertile land near Youzhou.

This alone made the soldiers very grateful to King Qi, and because of this, the soldiers and generals were looking forward to the battle, because it was said that there was a very vast land outside the Shanhai Pass.

Even if you don't cultivate it yourself, you can make a lot of money by selling it to merchants.

Seeing the soldiers depart, thundering down the city wall, he still had to think about building a fortress a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan.

And in the evening, the cavalry, which had been out of the city for a day, turned back.

The purpose of the cavalry going out of the city this time was to kill the scouts and create conflicts, which was just a very simple task for the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

After all, with Thundering's personality, even if he is fine, he will send soldiers to attack the barbarian tribe, and this piece is now very familiar to him, so he also drew a map for this.

The map shows various terrain and the location of barbarian tribes.

"Governor, we ambushed a group of scouts outside the city, and we deliberately let one of them go back to report the news according to your orders."

"Well, good job." Lei Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Although he didn't understand the purpose of Xiao Ming's order, for them, all he needed was to obey the order.

And just as he was about to send the war report back to Qingzhou, a large number of barbarian cavalry appeared sixty miles northwest of Shanhaiguan.

The leader is none other than Gurtai, the leader of the Huyantuo tribe who once lived in Youzhou.

"Banner leader, this is where we were ambushed." The escaped scout said to Gultai.

Looking at the corpses of hundreds of barbarian soldiers on the ground, Gultai's eyes seemed to be able to shoot flames.

"Thunder, you deceive people too much." Gurtai said angrily, he now knew that the generals in Shanhaiguan were thundering.

Because since the Shanhaiguan Pass was lost, the Guanning Iron Cavalry always entered the grassland every once in a while to harass the tribes on the grassland, and during this period, they and the Guanning Iron Cavalry won and lost each other.

It's just that this mutual victory and defeat not only did not make them feel balanced in their hearts, but they became more and more worried, because in their opinion, this Guan Ning Tieqi was growing too fast.

None of the cavalry had been able to fight their cavalry on the steppe.

"Bannerman, do we have to continue to endure? If this continues, there will be no way for our tribe to live here. A captain said.

Gurtai's eyes looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and he said: "Coward, what's so terrible, Da Tai Ji said that the emperor of Dayu is dying, and when he dies, Dayu will definitely be in chaos, and now the king of Liang of Dayu has secretly sent someone to see the Khan, proclaim himself to the Khan, and recognize the Khan as his father, just waiting for the chaos of the Dayu country, they can use our cavalry to seize the throne, and take advantage of that time we will directly kill the king of Liang and the second prince, and this Dayu country is ours." ”

When the generals heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.
