Meeting on a narrow road

Ten miles west of the Yanbeihai Sea.

On the vast grassland, more than 3,000 Tumotes were helping the elderly and young, driving hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and animals to flee in panic. Their men had already died in battle and their homes had been destroyed by the Ming army. Now they could only take the elderly and children to drive cattle, sheep and animals to flee to the Korqin camp.

The brutal Ming army was like a ghostly wolf, following them tightly. Whenever they wanted to stop and take a breath, the group of wolves would pounce on them and bite them hard, so they could not and dare not stop. They could only run away and then run away.

In front of us, the vast Yanyehai was already in sight. As long as you cross the Yanyehai, the Korqin people would be saved. However, before the Tumotes could be glad that they had escaped, the large group of Ming troops suddenly kicked them into the abyss of despair!

Under the blue sky, the endless Ming army swept over like black ants. The poor Tumot women could no longer care about the cattle, sheep and animals they regarded as life, and even the old man could not care about them. They could only take their children on the back and flee in scattered.

This was a ruthless and cruel hunting, but this time the Ming army was a hunter, while the Mongolians became prey.

During the two days of pursuit and escape, the four thousand iron cavalry led by Wang Pu consciously drove the Tumotes together. When the Tumotes fled to the vicinity of Yanyehai, more than 6,000 old, young, young, children, and millions of cattle and sheep had gathered into three major stocks, including more than 3,000 people and more than 500,000 cattle and sheep. Zhang Zi'an intercepted this stock.

More than 10,000 Ming army soldiers were like more than 10,000 viciously intercepting the Tumotes' escape route, and then rushed into the Tumotes' crowd with fangs and claws. Soon, the grassland was filled with Tumotes' fleeing in panic, and the Ming army soldiers were chasing them wildly. Countless cattle, sheep and horses were running around on the grassland...

"Hahaha, so many sheep, these sheep are my own."

"I want these cattle, no one is allowed to compete with me!"

"Damn it, then these horses belong to me!"

A group of Ming soldiers did not go to chase and kill the Tumotes who fled everywhere, but they checked the sheep whip and competed for the cattle, sheep and horses that the Tumotes had dropped. An old man, Tumote, was sitting on the ground waiting to die because he was old. Seeing this, he shot an arrow at the group of Ming soldiers. He actually shot one of them to death.

The remaining dozen Ming soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then surrounded them like crazy.

"drive!"

Seeing that the old man Tumote was about to be dismembered by Ming soldiers, a young Tumote woman suddenly rode her horse from not far away, and seemed to want to save the old man. When the woman riding the Tumote woman barely rushed past Ming army, the group of Ming army's handlers suddenly jumped up, spreading her arms and pounced on the Tumote woman on the horse's back like an eagle catching a chicken.

"Come down!"

Ming Jun shouted loudly and barely hugged the slender and toned body of Tumote's woman. The two rolled down from the horse's back and fell into the grass. Soon, Ming Jun turned over and sat up, riding Tumote's woman under his crotch. He laughed to the sky and said, "Those cattle, sheep and horses are yours, this woman is my return, hahaha..."

The Ming soldiers surrounding him burst into laughter.

"call out!"

The shrill sound of breaking through the air suddenly passed by, and the Ming army stopped laughing with the general's unrestrained laughter. When the dozen Ming soldiers surrounded him looked at him, they saw that the Ming army had already inserted a wolf-tooth arrow as thick as a thumb into the general's throat, and the feathers at the tail were still trembling slightly...

"hiss……"

Ming Jun hissed and tried to raise his hands and pull out the arrow from his throat. Unfortunately, his hands were half raised and then fell down. Then he tilted his head and fell on the Tumot woman and died. His eyes were still widening, and he was dying with his eyes closed!

In a flash, there was a faint sound of horse hooves in the eastern horizon.

The Ming army suddenly turned around and was shocked when they saw it. On the vast grassland, a large group of Mongolian cavalry had swarmed in. The first Mongolian cavalry had already taken their bows and arrows to aim at them. Then, a "swoosh" sound of breaking through the air, another Ming soldier had been shot through his throat and fell to the ground with convulsions.

"Mongol!"

"The Mongols are here!"

"Run quickly. Brothers, run quickly..."

The remaining dozen Ming soldiers shouted. They fled in panic. A clever and clever ran two steps and turned back. Then they fell head-on to the old man Tumote who had just been killed, and wiped some blood from the old man and rubbed it around his neck and face, and finally lay down and stopped moving.

This group of Mongolian cavalry who arrived in time were the three thousand iron guards in the Korchin tribe. The Mongolian warriors who took the lead were Banktu, the eldest son of Ukshan, Prince Heshuozhuliktu!

The Korchin cavalry came very quickly. Although the Ming army sent scout cavalry, they all killed them.

Therefore, when the three thousand iron guards of the Korchin tribe suddenly appeared, the Ming army soldiers who were chasing the Tumotes and snatching cattle and sheep and animals were still unaware of it, and Zhang Zian, who was waiting for news in the camp, was also unaware of it.

Before going to war, Ukshan repeatedly told Banktu not to fight the Ming army. His mission was to entangle the Ming army and prevent the Ming army from escaping back to the Great Wall with peace of mind, so as to win time for the subsequent cavalry to encircle and annihilate the Ming army!

However, when Banktu led three thousand iron guards to the Yanyehai, what he saw was an angry scene. Thousands of Tumote women and children were rushing on the grassland, and more than 10,000 Ming troops were chasing them wildly. Tumotes were constantly being chased and died tragically under the swords of the Ming army. Hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and animals of Tumotes had become the trophy of the Ming army.

Because of chasing the Tumotes and robbing cattle, sheep and animals, more than 10,000 Ming army was in chaos. If an elite Mongolian cavalry launched a raid from behind the Ming army, the Ming army would undoubtedly be defeated! Banktu, who had been through many battles, keenly smelled the fighter jets and made a quick decision to lead three thousand iron guards to launch a raid from behind to the Ming army!

The sudden appearance of the three thousand Korqin Iron Guards made the situation on the entire battlefield take a sharp turn. The Ming army was completely loose and could no longer organize effective defensive formations. Small groups of Ming army and local resistance were simply a drop in the bucket. To no avail, it soon collapsed under the impact of the Korqin cavalry.

The Ming soldiers who were chasing the Tumotes were just now become prey for the Mongolian cavalry to be hunted down in a blink of an eye. However, the Tumotes, who were running wildly, began to turn around and chase the Ming army. The Ming army was defeated and fled to the West in a panic, hating that their parents had fewer legs and were less fast than those with four legs.

Yan Yihai, Ming army camp.

While Zhang Zi'an was waiting for the news of the Ming army in the tent, a little eunuch ran into the tent in a panic and shouted with a sad face: "Godfather, it's not good, something big is wrong."

"What happened?" Zhang Zi'an said, "Don't panic, say slowly."

"Yes." The little eunuch responded and gasped, "I just saw my son outside the camp. I saw..."

Zhang Zian frowned and said, "What did you see?"

The little eunuch said calmly: "Originally, our Ming army had already gained an advantage and was chasing the Mongols everywhere, but somehow, thousands of Mongolian cavalry suddenly broke out from the east. In a blink of an eye, our Ming army was killed. Now our Ming army has been chased by the Mongolian cavalry and fled to the west. We are getting further and further away from the Yanyehai camp and the godfather."

"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible!" Zhang Zi'an was shocked and said in a lost voice, "The prince-in-law didn't say that Yan Ehai and the Mongolian cavalry were there. Have you read it wrong?"

"Godfather." The little eunuch responded with a bitter face, "It's not wrong, why don't we go back to Datong quickly. If we wait for the Mongolians to come back, it would be too late for us to leave."

"Let's go?" Zhang Zi'an said coldly and said with a grim voice, "Do you want to leave?"

The little eunuch shivered with excitement. He had already heard that Zhang Zi'an had murderous intent and quickly responded: "Godfather, my son will follow you wherever you are. I will never leave you a step."

"Transfer our military order!" Zhang Zi'an shouted sharply, "Let the remaining two thousand men guard the camp, and no matter what, they have to wait until the prince-consort comes back!"

Things have come to this point. Zhang Zi'an has no way out. Even if he can escape at this time, he doesn't want to escape. What's the use of escaping back? Not to mention that he has not raised 600,000 taels of silver. Now even the more than 10,000 border troops in Datong Town have been buried outside the border. If he escapes back like this, how can the Lord and the ancestor spare him?

Now, regardless of whether Zhang Zi'an is willing or not, Wang Pu has become his life-saving straw! Only when Wang Pu's army returns and when Wang Pu's army defeats this group of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appear will things turn around. At that time, Zhang Zi'an can slowly gather his remaining defeated generals, and then drive the cattle, sheep and animals of the Tumotes back to Datong.

If he won this battle, Zhang Zian would have nothing to do. If he lost, then everything would be over.

When Zhang Zian was waiting for Wang Pu to save his life, Wang Pu was overwhelmed by something.

This was to collect the cattle, sheep and horses abandoned by the Tumotes along the way. The Tumotes escaped in a very embarrassing and hastily. Of course, they didn't bother to drive away all the animals in the ground. As they ran away, cattle, sheep and animals were abandoned by them. Wang Pu and his 4,000 cavalry followed behind to collect the animals.

King Pu of cattle and sheep can do it, but horses can't do it. This is a valuable strategic resource!

Wang Pu's surprise attack on naturalization was one for training troops, and the other was to seize the Mongol horses!

However, it is not easy to collect the horses in dispersed areas, because the horses are active by nature and come and go like flying. Unlike cattle and sheep, they often only stay in one place and wait for the herders to drive them away. In order to collect tens of thousands of horses abandoned by the Tumots along the way, Wang Pu's 4,000 cavalry followed around and repeatedly surrounded them, resulting in a journey of dozens of miles behind.

Otherwise, Wang Pu's four thousand cavalry should have joined forces with Zhang Zi'an long before the arrival of the three thousand Korqin Iron Guards.

When the Ming army soldiers suddenly appeared on the grassland in a panic, Wang Pu had just collected more than fifty horses by a small river. At this time, Wang Pu only had more than 80 trusted servants led by Xiao Qi, and a 100-man team with Scarface. The total total was less than 200.

"Look at General!" Lu Liu was the first to find the Ming army fleeing in a panic and shouted, "It seems to be the Ming army!"

Wang Pu was shocked and hurriedly looked in the direction of Lu Liu's finger. Sure enough, he saw a large group of Ming army officers and soldiers running towards him desperately. Not far behind the Ming army, dozens of Mongolian cavalry were chasing each other. The Mongolian cavalry was chasing each other while pulling their bows and firing arrows. The Ming army defeated soldiers kept screaming and falling in a pool of blood.

On the grassland further away, more Ming army defeated soldiers were running around, and more Mongolian cavalry were chasing.

Scarface shouted: "General, it's really the Ming army!"

"Uh." Zhen Youcai took a breath and exclaimed, "It's Datong border army. It seems that something happened to Eunuch Zhang!"

"General." Scarface asked quickly, "What should I do now?"

"Brothers are scattering around the grassland to collect their horses. If they order retreat at this time, they will only be shot and killed by the pursuing Mongolians like these defeated soldiers." Wang Pu said immediately, "Now, only by attacking forward and defeating the Mongolian cavalry in the front can you still have a chance!"

"General." Zhen Youcai said with concern, "but we have less than two hundred cavalry in total, but the Mongolian cavalry in front seem to have at least one thousand cavalry!"

"I can't care about that much." Wang Pu shouted, "Xiao Qi, light the flag!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
