"Alliance leader, Yan Yingyuan brought a large number of muskets, and the monks and 10,000 horses went back, they may not be Yan Yingyuan's opponents, no, we have to go back to save our people immediately."

"That's it, we're going back."

"Leader, our clansmen don't know if they don't die, how can the soldiers still have the heart to continue fighting here?"

"It's not too late for us to come back to capture Hexi next year, but the clansmen can't wait!"

"That's it, that's it, even if we listen to the alliance commander and stay and continue to fight, I'm afraid that the soldiers under him won't agree."

In Batur Khan's big tent, the leaders of the various departments were noisy and shouting, and everyone hurried back to Moxi to save his wife and children. The noise made Batur Khan's head buzz.

"I'm afraid that if you go back, not only will you not be able to save your clansmen, but you will also lose your own lives." Batur Khan said in a loud voice, and the tent fell silent.

The leader of the Durt tribe, Keltai, said disapprehantly, "Could it be that the leader of the alliance plans to just watch his people being taken captive by Yan Yingyuan? ”

"That is, there is still a chance, what will the soldiers think if they don't go back?"

Batur Khan stood up with his majestic body, his eyes scanned at everyone like an eagle, and said, "Everyone, please listen to me after I finish speaking, my people have also been taken captive, am I not in a hurry?" But have you ever thought that if we all go back, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to save our people, but we may also kill them? ”

"Leader, how can this be?"

"Why not, if we don't go back, Yan Yingyuan obviously won't go on a killing spree, otherwise he would have killed him directly. But if as soon as our army goes back, Yan Yingyuan feels that it is difficult to escape, and you are Yan Yingyuan, what will you do? ”

The easiest thing is to kill all the burdens, destroy all the roots of Moxi, and then flee on a light horse. Thinking of this possibility, the faces of the leaders of the various tribes in the big tent suddenly turned extremely pale.

Batur continued, "If Yan Yingyuan really does that, we will kill Yan Yingyuan." I'm afraid I'll have to die of cold, starve to death, no one in the clan, no cattle and sheep, this time, the Western Regions will be lost again, and then we won't even be able to survive this winter. ”

"Alliance Leader, are we just resigned to fate?"

"Of course, you can't leave it to fate." Batur Khan said decisively: "There is a best way now, let's work together to defeat Li Dingguo and occupy Hexi." If we can capture a large number of Qin troops and Han Chinese, we can exchange them for our clansmen and livestock. ”

"Now, Li Dingguo is pouring out of the nest, obviously wanting to take advantage of the opportunity for us to rush back to Moxi to occupy the entire Western Regions in one fell swoop, in fact, he doesn't need to occupy the entire Western Regions, as long as he guards the pass of the Tianshan Mountains, we will freeze to death and starve to death this winter."

"Moxi is gone, we still have the Western Regions. Our main force is still there, and if the Western Regions are also lost, we will really have nothing, not even our lives. ”

Batur constantly lobbied the heads of the ministry. To be honest, thanks to him, he changed to someone else, and he went back to Moxi regardless of a qiē.

By his persuasion. The leaders of the tribes fell silent, pondering his words over and over again, and the more they thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

Batur Khan didn't allow them to think about it. Then he said: "Li Dingguo sent troops in a hurry, the preparation must be insufficient, let's just plan and annihilate him." ”

"Leader, what are you going to do?"

"Listen to me, you will go and tell your soldiers later, and we will go back to Moxi immediately."

"Leader, didn't you say"

***

Li Dingguo's army had only advanced to Chijin City, and he received definite news that Yan Yingyuan had indeed succeeded and swept across the Moxi grassland.

The guerrilla general Wei Song immediately said to Li Dingguo: "Governor Dadu, this time the nests of the various departments of Western Mongolia have been eliminated, and the morale of the army will inevitably be in turmoil. ”

Li Dingguo looked at the white field, although it was snowing these days, it was not big enough, and it did not have a great impact on the march, the Mongols were accustomed to living in bitter cold places, and such a light snow had almost no effect on them. But it will have a great impact on the logistics of the Qin army.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait a minute, Batur is not an easy person, the more times like this, the more we have to be careful that he is trapped and fighting, and fighting to the death."

After Li Dingguo finished speaking, the reconnaissance cavalry in front reported: "Governor, the Dzungar army has withdrawn, except for Guazhou and Shazhou City, which each left two or three thousand men and horses, all the troops have withdrawn in the direction of Hami." ”

Wei Song exclaimed: "Governor, it's not good, Batur wants to escape, let's bite it quickly, don't let him escape." ”

Li Congzhi, Li Sheng, Wei Nantian, and Fang Yuan's generals also all asked for battle, but Li Dingguo stopped fighting at this time, and carefully thought about the key to the whole thing.

He has been fighting with Batur Khan for a long time, and Li Dingguo knows that he is a scheming person, and if he is not careful, he will follow his way. Judging from Batur's current actions, there are no flaws, is he really withdrawn to Moxi like this?

"If you are Batur and hear that the tribes left in the western part of the desert have been swept away by our army, what will you do?" Li Dingguo asked thoughtfully.

Wei Nantian replied first: "Metropolitan Governor, what else can you do?" Of course, it is to lead the troops back and rescue the people, the Metropolitan Governor, do you think, even if Batur has any ideas, will their soldiers be willing to do it? Who doesn't worry about their wives and children? ”

"That is, Grand Governor, Batur withdraws his troops, which is to be expected."

"Expected?" Li Dingguo muttered to himself, and suddenly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.

The so-called expected is a taboo for soldiers, Batur Khan can be regarded as a man of great talent, will he do what you expect?

The west wind was howling on the wasteland, and the 20,000 Qin troops marched against the wind, each showing only two eyes and one nose. This is a wasteland of history, and for 2,000 years, the Han dynasty has not been able to control this area for a long time. The reason is that such an environment was very favorable for the cavalry of the nomads.

"Pass on the order of the Governor, let Deng Sanqiao divide three squads of 500 people, and continue to harass Batur Khan's retreating soldiers and horses. His main force must not be presumptuous. ”

"Whoa!" The herald immediately galloped away.

Wei Nantian and the others asked puzzledly, "Metropolitan Governor, who are you?" ”

Li Dingguo said: "If Batur is really in turmoil, retreating in a hurry, and the three battalions of cavalry are constantly attacking, he will definitely show flaws, if he has no flaws, it means that he can still control his army." Then we'll have to be careful. ”

"Governor, what should we do?"

"Let Deng Sanqiao's 5,000 cavalry decorate Batur first, and let's go all out to capture Guazhou and Shazhou first."

"Then if Batur retreats to Moxi in one go, won't General Yan and them be in danger?"

"It's freezing cold, and if we venture in, we are even more dangerous."

"General, are you saying that Batur still wants to set up a trap for us to drill?"

"Anything is possible."

At this time, Li Dingguo became cautious, which cannot but be said to be the luck of the Qin army. After receiving Li Dingguo's order, Deng Sanqiao, who was in front, sent a battalion commander to make Huang Deng, Fan Shangzhi, and Zhao Qidi each lead 500 men and horses, cross the Longji River, and chase after Batur's army.

Batur's tens of thousands of troops marched towards Hami in the northwest, and near Maji Mountain, Huang Deng, Fan Shangzhi, and Zhao Qidi caught up.

They were all dark and heavy, with only two eyes and one nose exposed, which made people feel very weird.

Batur Khan sent his troops to lead 2,000 men and horses to block it, and Huang Deng avoided them, and the two sides chased in the white wasteland, and the horses' hooves raised snowflakes like mist.

After Huang Deng took Baltay around, Fan Shangzhi and Zhao Qidi suddenly struck diagonally from both sides, and several rockets slipped away to bombard Baltay.

Rumble! Boom

Balls of fire exploded on the snow, soaring, and the sound was earth-shattering. But the effect was not very ideal, and the men and horses of Baltay were relatively scattered, and each rocket could kill and injure no more than four or five people.

The two sides chased endlessly on the wasteland, and Batur found that it was only a small group of Qin troops who were chasing, and he was very anxious, did Li Dingguo anticipate his intentions?

If this is the case, then we must adjust the plan as much as possible, otherwise the time will drag on for too long, and the army will be tens of thousands of troops, and the army's will will really be difficult to control.
