Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"It's a matter!" A sentry scout ran over quickly, ran to the front of Xie Ziran's brigade, and was about to get off his horse and knelt down on the ground.

Xie Ranran pulled the reins vigorously, the horse hissed angrily and raised its hooves high.

Xie Ranran: "In the military camp, there is no etiquette, just speak up quickly."

It has been three days since he left Datong, and he has 1000 elite soldiers, all equipped with war horses, plus more than [-] military households.With so many people, people eat horse chews, so naturally they have to carry a lot of food and fodder.It is also necessary to conserve horsepower and maintain the morale of the soldiers.Therefore, this road is also going slowly, and it is only now that they can barely enter the territory of Xuanfu.

"Yes." The spy's brows were covered with sweat, and there was a gleam of light on his young face.

He cupped his hands on the saddle: "Reporting, the main forces of the Liaodong and Xuanfu towns have resisted the battlefield. If there is no accident, they will contact the enemy tomorrow at the latest."

"Silk." Xie Ziran and Hu Shun and Hu Jinxue beside him took a breath at the same time, and then glanced at each other.

In the past few days, Liaodong and Xuanfu town troops have been moving westward, which happened to run in the opposite direction of Baidengying.Soldiers from both sides met on the road and even greeted each other a few times.

Communication was difficult in ancient battlefields, how Su Mu fought, how the battle ended, and whether the little prince was defeated, Xie Ziran and Hu Shun couldn't know immediately.

But according to Su Mu, as long as the Liaodong and Xuanfu troops join the battlefield, the encirclement of the Tatars will be formed.

At that time, the Tatar cavalry will lose the room to move around, and their advantages will be greatly suppressed, and the rest will be consumed by comparing with the Ming army.And when it comes to comparing consumption, in today's world, who can compare with the Ming Dynasty?

In the end, the Tartars were bound to lose.

Besides, Xie Ziran and Hu Shun had no doubts about Su Mu's wisdom.

Since Su Mu didn't get any news, Xie naturally came up with an idea and simply sent scouts to follow and monitor the reinforcements from the two towns.As long as the reinforcements from the two towns arrive at the battlefield, it will be the day for the decisive battle between the Ming army and the Tatars.

Only Bai Dengying himself knew about this matter. If the soldiers and horses in the other two towns knew that they were being watched by friendly troops, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Hearing the scout report, Xie naturally took a breath and ordered: "Continue to investigate, and then withdraw the scouts bit by bit."

"Yes!" The spy nodded, and with a "drive", he rode away again.

After he walked away, Xie Ranran turned to Hu Shun and said, "Hu Shun, it seems that the decisive battle is tomorrow."

Hu Shun said with a sullen face: "It should be so. The gathering of so many soldiers and horses in one place is the largest battle of our dynasty since Tumu Fortress. According to Su Mu's prediction, the battle should end within a day. My Ming Dynasty will surely Big win."

Hu Jinxue was still a little worried: "After all, the fighting power of the Tatars is stronger than that of our Ming Dynasty, and they are all cavalry. What if your Majesty can't win within a day?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't take it down. The big siege has already been formed. My Ming Dynasty has already won strategically. What remains is the question of how much to gain. However, with the treachery of the little prince, he will definitely not want to turn this battle into a war of attrition." " Xie naturally said with certainty: "If I were him, I would disperse and break through as my mentor predicted. So..."

"So we should speed up." Hu Shun interrupted without waiting for Xie Ranran to finish speaking.

This Baideng camp was trained by Xie Ziran during this year, and Su Mu asked Datong Town to pick up the weapons and horses. Although the number was wrong, they were considered the first-class elites of the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Ranran is young after all, young people hold a lot of power, and it is inevitable to be frivolous in commanding such an arrogant team.

Since the team set off from Datong, Xie Ziran had been giving orders all the way, which made Hu Shun vaguely unhappy.

Xie naturally did not misread Hu Shun's strangeness, and nodded: "Yes, if the decisive battle is tomorrow. And the little prince chooses to break out from our direction, with his fast horse, he can reach Huai'an Guard in three days at most. And Wanquan Zuowei. We have arrived at Tianchengwei now, and there is still a long way to go before the ambush site Wanquan Zuowei. Ban Jianhou, in your opinion, how many days are there before we arrive?"

Ban Jianhou: "At the current speed, I'm afraid there are still three days left."

Xie Ran became anxious: "This is not possible. Could it be that the little prince arrived just after we reached the ground in front, so what strength is there to resist, and what time is there to deploy defenses? Let's let it go, the key is that Qianhu under your command The convoy of the station moved too slowly, dragging its feet."

Ban Jianhou said in a low voice: "Reporting to you, the people in the Thousand Households Office are old people. The military households in the guards in the entire Datong Town are inextricably linked. The so-called look up and see down, they go It’s slow, and humble positions are not easy to use, so we can only persuade them with good words. Moreover, this time we directly surrounded the Qianhu Office and confiscated all the military households, and they must have some complaints in their hearts.”

Before he finished speaking, Xie Ziran became furious and whipped Ban Jianhou: "Shut up!"

The whip hit Ban Jianhou's body, and there was a crisp sound, which shocked Hu Shun and Hu Jinxue.

Xie Ziran gritted his teeth and sneered: "Ban Jianhou, you want to be a good person. Why, are you afraid of offending the subordinates of the military household office? Yes, yes, but I forgot, you are now a thousand households there, a real general guard It's your private property. Don't forget, you were just a boy before, why, now you're getting carried away. Ban Jianhou, you just stare at your own one-acre three-point land, and your vision is too big. Useless stuff. Send me an order to speed up the team. It must be achieved within two days, no matter what means are used. Even if they are whipped or chopped with knives, they must be brought to me. If there is any cheating Yes, Fa-rectification on the spot. Ordinary military households who can’t walk, kill them; officers from a hundred households who can’t walk, kill them; your Ban Jianhou, who can’t walk, kill them too! This is the army, and there is no humaneness to speak of.”

Being scolded by Xie Ranran, Ban Jianhou's face turned red hotly.

Hu Shun didn't expect Xie Ranran to be so cunning, but he admired him a little in his heart: this officer who came from Juren is indeed a formidable character.

He comforted Ban Jianhou and said: "Ban Qianhu, what this battle means to me, to Bachelor Sumu, and to us people, I won't say much. If things don't work out, everyone will eat melons together. If it succeeds, they all have a bright future. That’s right, the supply team is your subordinate. But as the saying goes, an iron-clad official. I don’t think your Ban Jianhou is willing to be a small thousand households for the rest of his life. ?”

Ban Jianhou suddenly came to his senses, and cupped his hands: "It's Ban who is confused, thank you Hu Experience for pointing it out."

After finishing speaking, he said to Xie Ziran: "Don't worry, Ban will never miss the important affairs of the bachelor. If you can't arrive on time, Ban will have no face to see you."

"Go!"

Xie Ziran glanced at Hu Shun, his expression softened, and then said softly: "Master once said a word, people and things, you can't be firm for long, and you can't be soft. But, I have this temper. Today, thanks to the persuasion from the experience, otherwise That group of Jianhous may not be able to do things well if they do things with emotions.”

Hu Shun's previous displeasure towards Xie Ranran had disappeared at this moment, and he laughed: "What does Junfu say, we have nothing to do with it. If this battle does not go wrong, Bai Dengying will be famous."
