Start with Baihuguan

Xu Ying at the side couldn't help saying to Li Huan after hearing the words: "General, what should we do?"

All of a sudden, the eyes of all the people turned to Li Huan. After all, what they thought was that the Tatars had not yet retreated to the grassland. As long as they blocked the retreat route of the Tatars in Fort Wuning, they would cooperate with Wang Yangming's army. , may not be able to hit the Tatars hard.

But now two groups of the Tatars have returned to the grassland. According to Lin Pingzhi and the others, the Tatars should have just returned to the grassland not long ago.

At that time, the Tatars will be numerous and powerful, plus there will be an army led by Dayan Khan behind them, they will only have less than ten thousand people. Although they are winning consecutive battles on the prairie these days, they are not It doesn't mean that everyone is dazzled by the victory.

Therefore, when they heard the news that Front Guard Lat and Mandula II were rushing towards them, all the generals turned their attention to Li Huan.

In the eyes of Xu Ying and others, Li Huan must have a countermeasure.

Li Huan frowned and looked at Lin Pingzhi and the others and said slowly: "Lin Baihu, according to your investigation, have the people from Oirat and Mandula No. [-] found any trace of us?"

Lin Pingzhi and the others looked at each other when they heard the words, and after pondering for a while, Lin Pingzhi said affirmatively to Li Huan: "Back to the general, I can be sure that the two troops never noticed our army's attack." exist!"

As Lin Pingzhi said, his eyes flickered and he said: "Oirat and Mandula seem to be marching very hastily, and they didn't even spill out the sentry. It's clear that they are in a hurry. If it's true If our whereabouts are discovered, it is absolutely impossible not to send out sentries.”

When Xu Ying and the others heard this, their eyes lit up.

If it is said that Mandula and Oirat have discovered their whereabouts and led the army to run towards them, even if they fight each other under the leadership of Li Huan, even if they can win, I am afraid that their son Lang There will also be casualties.

But if Mandula and Oirat II did not find them, then the meaning would be quite different.

Li Huan smiled slightly, glanced at Xu Ying and the others and said, "Do you dare to accompany me to meet these Tatars for a while?"

Xu Ying and the others were invigorated when they heard the words, and shouted one by one: "Why don't you dare!"

It can be said that the prairie is flat, and there is almost no cover at a glance. Therefore, even if you want to set up an ambush on the prairie, it is quite difficult.

After all, here, even if you want to find a hill or woods where you can hide, it is very difficult, let alone an environment that can hide nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses.

Everyone thought that Li Huan would lead them to meet the enemy, but Li Huan suddenly ordered all the soldiers to get off their horses and rest.

Hearing Li Huan's order, everyone naturally looked puzzled, but Li Huan had already become an omnipotent existence in everyone's minds, so no matter how much doubt they had in their hearts, they had no doubts about Li Huan's order. Hesitant to execute.

Nearly ten thousand soldiers followed Li Huan's instructions to rest and recharge their batteries, while the generals of Xu Ying couldn't help the doubts in their hearts and said to the indifferent Li Huan: "General, let's just wait for the Tatars. are you coming?"

Li Huan smiled lightly and said, "Why not?"

Xu Ying and the others were stunned, with a look of astonishment on their faces.

Li Huan saw the reactions of several people's expressions in his eyes and said: "We are still dozens of miles away from Oirat and Mandula. Even if the other party is on the road without stopping, it will take one or two hours to arrive. Why not let the soldiers take a good rest and recharge their batteries for the arrival of the Tatars?"

Xu Ying came to her senses and said, "What does the general mean to let everyone wait for work?"

Li Huan said indifferently: "Since there is no place for an ambush nearby, let's fight an upright battle with the Tatars. The opponent has traveled a long distance, and the soldiers must be exhausted. In addition, whether the opponent knows our existence or not Without the slightest precaution, under such circumstances, we are waiting for work at leisure and have enough energy, can't we kill the Tatars by surprise?"

Ren Ping smiled and said: "What the general said is true. Before the Tatars were on guard, we were able to defeat each other. Now we can defeat the Tatars if we do mental calculations or not."

The two tribes of Oirat and Mandula together have more than [-] soldiers and horses. Any tribe that can pull tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be regarded as a large tribe on the prairie.

The two tribes of Oirat and Mandula are one of the most powerful tribes on the grassland. In their heyday, they could even compete with the tribe of Dayan Khan.

Although it is said that Dayan Khan unified all the tribes in the grassland, this does not mean that all the tribes on the grassland obeyed Dayan Khan.

After all, Dayan Khan is only the co-lord of the grasslands, and he can restrain and deter a large number of tribes, among them there are not a few tribes who are dissatisfied with him and who are obedient and vicious.

Obviously, Oirat and Mandula's orders to Dayan Khan were both positive and negative.

This time, the two departments were originally ordered to assist the soldiers and horses who stayed at Fort Wuning to prevent the Ming army from capturing Fort Wuning and cut off their return. However, Oirat and Mandula did not intend to stay at Fort Wuning at all. He directly crossed Fort Wuning, anxious to return to his own tribe.

They had known for a long time that Li Huan led an army to wreak havoc on the grassland, slaughtering one tribe after another, so they were naturally worried that their tribe would be murdered by Li Huan.

Several Tatar generals in fur suits are galloping on top of several steeds, and behind them is a black Tatar army.

The general of the Oirat tribe was named Mentura, and he was the brother of the chief of the Oirat tribe. He was brave and good at fighting, and quite resourceful, so he was entrusted with important tasks by the chief of the Oirat tribe.

And the leader of the Mandura tribe is directly the patriarch of the Mandura tribe, Amendest.

Amendest's hair is gray, but his eyes are radiant and energetic, like an old fox, he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

At this time, Amendest said to Montura: "Mentura, we ignore Dayan Khan's orders, and we are afraid that when Dayan Khan returns, we are afraid that we will cause trouble for our two families!"

Hearing this, Mentura sneered, glanced at Amendest and said with some disdain: "Then wait until he escapes from Daming smoothly, even if he can retreat completely, the loss of troops alone , and Li Huan made a big fuss on the prairie again, whether he can still secure the position of Great Khan is another matter, how can he still have the time to trouble our two families..."

Hearing what Montura said, Amendest changed his worried look just now, stroked his beard and looked at Montura appreciatively: "Mentula, in my opinion, the patriarch of the Oirat tribe is It should be you."

Hearing the words, Mentura looked at Amendest with a guarded look and sneered, "Amendest, you don't want to drive a wedge between our brothers, put away your little thoughts and calculations, no matter what you say, My Oirat Department will not support you in fighting Dayan."

A stern look flashed in Amendest's eyes. Montura is really too shrewd. He is indeed a hero. It's a pity that Montura is too affectionate and loyal to his mediocre elder brother. Second, it made Amendest feel uneasy that Mentura would threaten his Mandula tribe.

The Oirat and Mandula are bound to be adjacent to each other, and the small tribes around the two tribes have already been swallowed up by them, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the two tribes want to continue to grow in the future, conflicts will inevitably erupt.

It's just that the two tribes have a common opponent at the moment, and that is Dayan Khan, who is the co-lord of the grassland. Facing the pressure of Dayan Khan, although the two tribes say that there will be small conflicts occasionally, both sides will Trying to restrain, I am afraid that it will give Dayan Khan a chance to suppress or even annex them.

Montura took a look at Amendest and said, "Amendest, what kind of person do you think Li Huan is, who actually entered the grassland twice, and this time turned the grassland upside down, even Dayan's plan had to be abandoned because of Li Huan's actions!"

There was a trace of seriousness in Amendest's expression when he heard the words, he glanced at Montura and said, "According to what we know about Li Huan, this son is by no means an ordinary person, aside from those exaggerated rumors Not to mention, just the fact that he entered the grassland twice is enough to show that this son is definitely not a stickler."

As he said that, Amendest said with a bit of fear in his eyes: "Such a brave and unconventional Ming army commander is definitely a serious problem for us. Frankly speaking, I would rather fight Dayan with wits than I don't want to meet such an enemy as Li Huan."

Just looking at Amendest's fear of Li Huan, one can see what kind of influence Li Huan has in the hearts of the Tatars on the prairie.

Montura took a deep breath, nodded slowly and said, "You are right, Li Huan is indeed a formidable opponent."

But while speaking, Montura showed an eager expression and said: "However, I am quite looking forward to fighting with him to see if he is really as brave and invincible as the rumors say."

For Montura's words, Amendest only showed a bit of sarcasm. In Amendest's view, the reason why Montura had such an idea was simply a matter of his own positioning.

Mentura only regarded himself as his elder brother's right-hand man, rather than standing on the position of the chief of the Oirat tribe to consider issues.

If Montura was in the position of tribal patriarch, he would definitely not have such an unscrupulous enemy who provoked Li Huan.

Glancing at Mengtula indifferently, Amendest jerked his horse and said to Montura, "Although it is said that the possibility of Li Huan invading our two tribes is very slim, but if you are not afraid of [-] Just in case, the sooner we return to the tribe, the sooner we can feel at ease."

Speaking of which, Amendest said to the generals behind him: "Send the order, let everyone cheer me up, speed up the journey, and strive to return to the tribe as soon as possible."

Soon Amendest's order was conveyed, and the marching speed of the already not slow army suddenly increased by a few points.

Generally speaking, when a large army marches, especially cavalry, few generals will rush in this way. You must know that the marching speed is indeed fast if you squeeze the horsepower to rush, but you are afraid that you will encounter the enemy when the horsepower is exhausted.

But in Amendest's mind, they were not in the territory of Ming Dynasty, they might encounter enemies at any time, and now they had returned to the prairie.

The huge prairie is the territory of their Tatars. On this prairie, do they still need to worry about being attacked by the Ming army?
Even Montura did not stop Amendest's order to speed up the march. Obviously, his thoughts were the same as Amendest's.

The earth trembled, and even a few miles away, one could feel the aura of galloping thousands of horses galloping over mountains and seas.

At this moment, in a land full of water and grass, there is a dense blackness, and cavalrymen who can hardly be seen at a glance are riding on the horses one by one, holding the weapons in their hands, and looking at the big flag and the big flag in front of them with a firm expression. Under the flag was a striking figure wearing a fiery red cloak.

That is their coach, General Li Huan who is always at the forefront.

Thousands of troops lined up on the grassland. The wind blew and the grass rolled like waves. The whole army exuded a murderous aura. Except for the occasional neighing of horses, there was no sound of soldiers making any noise.

Li Huan felt the shaking of the earth. For so long, they had encountered, fought, and pursued the Tatars again and again, and they were already qualified cavalrymen.

Just by listening to the earthquake, one can tell how far the opponent's soldiers and horses are from them.

Feeling that the distance between the two sides was getting closer, Li Huan suddenly let out a long roar: "All soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Huan rushed out immediately, followed by Li Hu, Li Guo and other personal guards, especially the fierce flag fluttering in the wind, among thousands of troops, the handsome flag It looks so eye-catching.

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!"

All of a sudden, thousands of soldiers who were riding horses and lining up on the prairie like sculptures seemed to wake up in an instant, shouting resoundingly from their mouths, and then galloped their horses to follow Li Huan and rushed forward.

Amendest, who was galloping wildly, could clearly feel that the army behind him had entered a period of exhaustion, especially when the horses under him were about to rest.

Looking ahead, there was still an endless grassland, and Amendest couldn't help but said to the generals beside him: "Who knows the terrain nearby, does anyone know if there is any water source nearby for the army to rest?"

A general immediately said to Amendest: "Patriarch, there is a water source almost two miles away, where the army can rest."

Amendest immediately lifted his spirits when he heard the words: "Okay, let's pass on the order, saying that there will be lush vegetation a few miles ahead for everyone to rest, let everyone hold on for a while..."

The voice hadn't finished yet, when suddenly the earth trembled.

"No, there's something wrong with this vibration!"

Having lived on the prairie all their lives, whether it was Amendest or Montura, they could be said to have felt the anomaly right away.

The vibration of galloping horses can be clearly distinguished by experienced people like them.

Even Mentura's complexion changed slightly, and he yelled at Amendest directly: "Amendest, there is a large group of people running towards us in front of us."

Amendest also said with a worried look on his face: "But who should the other party be? Could it be that the Great Khan sent soldiers to intercept us? No... The Great Khan definitely has no time to trouble us right now. ,unless……"

All of a sudden, as if thinking of a possibility, Amendest's complexion suddenly changed, and he exclaimed to Mengtula: "Mengtula, no, the person who came is most likely Li Huan!"

"Li Huan?"

Hearing what Amendez said, even Montura was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked forward with a very gloomy expression.

With his domineering eyesight, Mentura seemed to vaguely see a dark torrent rushing toward them.

"Li Huan, it turned out to be him. He is really brave. I thought he would have returned to Daming by now after making such a big commotion. Who would have thought that he would still be on the prairie, even Still want to deal with us!"

Amendest, who had calmed down, let out a mouthful of turbid air and said slowly with a bit of bitterness: "I'm afraid we are the ones who saved Dayan this time! If what I expected is not bad, Li Huan and he It was clear that he was going to Fort Wuning to block Dayan's retreat, but in the end he was bumped into by us."

Mentura nodded and said with a bit of exclamation on his face: "That's what you said, but just looking at this movement, the opponent's number of troops is definitely not more than [-]. How dare he attack our [-]-odd army."

Amendest looked at Montura and said, "Don't worry about what he thinks, what we have to consider now is whether we are Li Huan's opponents or not!"

One must know that no matter what Li Huan said, he had a bad reputation, especially now that Li Huan came directly towards them, Amendest naturally had no idea.

Montura took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Even if we are already exhausted, we have the advantage in numbers, so we may not be unable to fight against them."

While speaking, Mentura roared loudly: "Son of Changshengtian, follow me to meet the enemy!"

Originally, they suddenly noticed that there was a large group of troops rushing in front of them, and the soldiers and horses of Oirat and Mandula became faintly flustered.

After all, my family knew their own family affairs, and they had been running wildly for a long time. Both themselves and the horses under them were already at the end of their strength.

What they need most at this moment is to have a good rest, not to fight with others in this worst state.

But they also knew that this kind of matter is beyond their control, so after hearing Mentura's roar, a group of Tatar soldiers mustered up their courage and beat the horses under them fiercely, squeezing the potential of the horses to meet them. enemy.

Li Huan was wearing a crimson cloak, and the horse under him was like a bolt of lightning. Thanks to Li Huan and the others, they captured a large number of horses, so they carefully selected many of the horses of the gods. If the guards are too far behind.

However, Li Huan and more than a hundred personal guards also kept some distance from the army, so when Montura, Amendest and others saw Li Huan who was charging ahead, they were all taken aback.

That eye-catching commander-in-chief flag clearly showed Li Huan's identity, but Meng Tula and the others obviously didn't expect that Li Huan, who was the commander of the first army, would charge forward, and even pulled away from the army by tens of feet. distance.

Although it is said that a distance of tens of feet only requires a dozen breaths when galloping a horse, but on the battlefield, a distance of tens of feet may be the difference between life and death.

So when I saw Li Huan being so ostentatious, so arrogant, and so far away from his own army, only hundreds of soldiers barely followed behind, whether it was Montura or Amendest. There are endless surprises in my heart.

The two looked at each other and reached a consensus in an instant.

"Hahaha, I thought that Li Huan was so great, but I never thought that he is just a reckless man. The sons of Changshengtian, follow me to take the head of Li Huan."
