Jinyi Night Walk

When Wang Cong asked, Li Yuan, the general of the third vanguard Jingqi, became wary, and asked: "Ben Ya has gone west, you are his team, why are you still here?"

Wuliang Hatai said angrily: "If it wasn't for the great Khan and the Grand Master disagreeing, how could we still be here now? We would have fled long ago. If that was the case, we wouldn't have fallen into your hands. As for the scattered walks, it was my grassland tribe in the first place. Due to the habit of migration, a large team must move slowly, and even in the season when the water and grass are abundant, a piece of grassland can hardly meet the needs of so many tribesmen and horses, so naturally we have to go in batches."

Having said that, he said dejectedly again: "And I stayed here for another purpose, unfortunately..."

Wang Cong asked alertly, "What purpose?"

Wulianghatai said dejectedly: "Originally... I was ordered by the Khan to stay here, and I wanted to create some traces so that... so as to bring disaster to the north. Who would have thought that you would suddenly move faster than we originally detected?" A lot, so that... the success is on the verge of failure!"

Qiu Fu was not without complacency when he heard this, if he hadn't insisted on throwing off the large group of people and riding lightly, wouldn't he just sit back and watch the Tatar Khan escape?What's more, he went astray and was led to hunt down and kill Alutai, and fell into Ben Ya's plan to kill with a borrowed knife.

Although it is said that Arutai is the actual ruler of Tatars and took away the most people, but Ben Yashili is the Khan of Tatars, he is a member of the Golden Family, and he is the spiritual leader of the various tribes of Tatars. Even though Arutai is powerful, it still needs to "take the emperor to order the princes" to command all Tatar tribes. In Qiu Fu's mind, no matter in terms of status or influence, including the size of military exploits, capturing Benya alive is undoubtedly better than Arutai. The effect is greater.

He immediately asked: "Where is Benya Shili now?"

Wuliang Hatai hesitated for a moment, and said: "West of the Yinma River, thirty miles away, originally... was waiting for my department to go with me."

"Thirty miles west of the Yinma River?"

Qiu Fu was overjoyed when he heard the words. He interrogated the captives and already knew where he was. The Yinma River, also known as Luqu River, was not far away.Qiu Fu hurriedly said, "How many troops does he have now?"

Wulianghatai said: "There are only 5000 elite riders in the headquarters of the Great Khan, of which 1 are escorting the family and luggage, and only 5000 elite riders are left. I have another [-] riders, beside the Khan, now Only [-] riders!"

Qiu Fu was invigorated when he heard the words, and said: "Are you willing to lead the way for me? As long as you catch Ben Ya, it will be a miracle. In front of the emperor, I will speak for you!"

Seeing that Wulianghatai hesitated a little, Qiu Fu laughed loudly and said, "Wulianghatai, you are a straightforward Mongolian man, why are you still thinking about it? Now that you have confessed, Benya will let you go. What? If he flees to the west, Wala will not tolerate him. If the commander captures him alive, he will save his life. Don't worry, once a person like him is caught, he will be the guest of my son of heaven. It will definitely not hurt his life!"

Wuliang Hatai listened, thought for a while, stamped his foot, and said: "Forget it, I would like to listen to General Qiu's orders!"

Qiu Fu immediately said: "Benya's disappearance is very close at hand, and the opportunity to capture the thief and the king is not to be missed! Wang Cong and Li Yuan, quickly gather all the troops, and follow the commander to drink the horse river, as long as Benya loses his way." If you are captured in one fell swoop, the overall situation will be settled!"

When Wang Cong heard this, he hurriedly said: "General, Ben Yashili is a Tatar Khan, but he took the risk to kill him, and there are not many followers around him, which is quite suspicious. According to the general, it is better to send scouts to spy first. If there is any movement, let's immediately ask the follow-up troops to hurry up, wait until all the soldiers and horses are assembled, and we have found out what Wuliang Hatai said is true, and then it will not be too late to advance!"

Qiu Fu laughed and said: "Benya doesn't have many soldiers in his hands. If he wants to keep more troops to follow him, he must have soldiers. As for his risky ending, it's just an act of inviting people's hearts. Didn't you hear that?" Did he plan to lure me to fight Alutai? Hey! As long as Alutai is severely injured and weakened, and he buys enough hearts, he will have a chance to regain the power of Tatar, Tatar Although he was hurt because of this, but only in this way, he can be a real Tatar Khan! Humph! This is just a means of putting himself to death and reviving, listen to the commander's order, and immediately gather troops!"

Li Yuan is also a relatively calm person. He felt that what Wang Cong said was reasonable, and since the initiative was in his own hands, there was no need to take risks with Ben Ya, so he hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Qiu Fu was furious, and reprimanded: "Confused Didn’t you hear clearly what Wulianghatai said just now? Ben Yashili had hoped that our army would be exhausted and retreat without a fight. We have entered the desert for nearly two months and have not achieved an inch. Even the Tatars The main force can't be found, and now the opportunity is in front of us, but we are timid and miss the opportunity? Listen to my orders, gallop to drink the horse river, capture Ben Ya alive, and those who disobey my general orders, beheaded!"

Wang Cong and Li Yuan had no choice but to gather their own troops and join forces with Qiu Fu, leaving a small group of soldiers to guard the Tatar tribesmen who had already been recruited. To meet him, he and Qiu Fu led the way from Wulianghatai and galloped to Yinma River.

Qiu Fu, who used soldiers, liked to take risks. He was like this when he was young, and he still likes to do so now.At the same time, Wulianghatai's family members and clansmen are all in his hands. He expects that Wulianghatai will not dare to deceive him. Furthermore, he has gone deep into the desert and has already trekked hard for nearly two weeks in this snowy field full of wind and snow. It's been a month with no success.If it continues, he can neither please the emperor, return to the center, nor help the second prince to fight for the reserve position. He has already become impatient, and naturally he believes what Wuliang Hatai said.

Of course, there was a bigger reason, but even he didn't realize it.He felt that his judgment and decision were only objective results based on the situation of Tatars and corroborated with Ulianghatai's confession. He didn't know that since he knew that Ben Yashili was drinking the Ma River, he quickly dispatched troops. Inevitably!

At the beginning, Xia Xun made great achievements in the Battle of Yinma River by annihilating tens of thousands of elite enemies and beheading Harbala, the Deputy Councilor of the Tatar Privy Council.He is still in this place now, if he can capture Tatar Khan Ben Yashili alive, how can that junior Yang Xu compare with him?These two military achievements, one in the sky and the other in the ground, are simply incomparable.Where will Yang Xu catch another Khan and bring him back?hum!As long as this battle is over, he will be on Yang Xu's head for the rest of his life, making Yang Xu unable to turn himself over again.

Such a great opportunity is right in front of us.If you tell him to wait, how can he wait.If because of this delay, Benya lost his mind and found out that the Ming army had arrived and fled immediately, it would be too late for regret.

At Qiu Fu's insistence, the three Ming armies assembled in one place. Excluding the soldiers who died in battle and the soldiers who stayed behind to guard the prisoners of war, there were only more than 500 horsemen, and they hurried away in the wind and snow.According to Wulianghatai's confession, there are [-] guards in Benyashili, which is more than him, but Qiu Fuyi believes that his elite soldiers are not inferior to the Tatar cavalry; secondly, The other party is fleeing, but he is chasing, the morale of this army is very different; thirdly, he is unexpected, outstanding soldiers, based on his many years of experience in fighting the Mobei army, once those grassland cavalry win the battle, they all look like wolves. Tiger, as long as it shows a slight defeat, it will immediately disintegrate, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Sure enough, when Qiu Fu's cavalry suddenly appeared by the Luqu River, the Tatars who were camping there were killed by surprise. They never expected that the Ming army would come so fast, let alone that the Ming army would brave such heavy snow Still marching.Fortunately, it was the garrison of the Great Khan of the Tatars, and the guards were heavily guarded, and the sentinels were ten miles away from the camp, so they discovered their traces early.

Benya didn't know how many of them were there, so he immediately abandoned the camp and fled.Qiu Fu had already seen the wolf-headed banner that Benya had lost, but it was a pity that he kept chasing and killing him all the way, but still did not catch up. Qiu Fu became more and more angry at being provoked by his prey, but he just kept chasing after him, and the army behind got the general order They rushed over quickly, but the [-] troops of the Ming army consisted of mixed infantry and cavalry, and their speed was inherently slow. With so many people and horses, people had to carry a certain amount of luggage to feed them, so the speed couldn't keep up at all. They meet, but are pulled further and further apart.

For a few days, Qiu Fu followed Benya, and every time he made small gains, but he still couldn't catch the cunning Benya, who was as cunning as a fox. On this day, he chased to a rolling slope. Li Yuan inspected the surrounding environment , Feeling more and more inappropriate, he said to Qiu Fu: "General, this is the territory of the Tatars. Ben Ya Shili is very familiar with it. They are also good at riding and shooting. Since we can't surprise us, he wants to escape. Is it not easy to go far away? But seeing that he has always been indifferent these days, I will feel that he is deliberately showing weakness to lure me to go deeper. According to the general, we should not chase any more. If we don't return immediately, we should set up camp on the spot. One is recuperating the soldiers, and the other is waiting for reinforcements."

Wang Cong also said after hearing this: "General, Li Yuan's words are true. The last general also thinks that Benya's loss seems to be deceitful. Let's go back immediately and join the main force. If not, we can set up camp on the spot. After all, our soldiers are not prairie men who have lived in pommel horses all their lives. These days, they have to brave the wind and snow every day, and climb ice and lie on the snow at night. Break through, it's better to be cautious!"

Qiu Fu was furious, pointed his whip forward, and shouted angrily: "Ben Ya is right ahead, and we want to withdraw our troops at this time? How unreasonable! Chase me, and anyone who disobeys orders will be killed immediately!" On the horse stock, he rushed out first, and the guards on the left and right were afraid that the commander would make a mistake, so they immediately followed behind. Wang Cong and Li Yuan looked at each other, and had no choice but to catch up with him with a long sigh.

Unexpectedly, they had just chased across a snow slope in front of them, and when they drove into the trough, there was a sudden sound of killing. Looking around, on the undulating snow slope, thousands of troops and horses lying in ambush suddenly appeared. , rushed towards them, on this white snow field, those Tatar cavalry were like huge waves, irresistible!

Seeing this, Qiu Fu was startled and regretful, he reined in his horse and turned his head, he glared at Wulianghatai with his knife, and shouted sharply: "You good thief, how dare you lie to me!"

Wu Lianghatai looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... Qiu Fu, Qiu Fu, take my life in exchange for your three princes, even if you die, you will have no regrets!"
