The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 225
After listening to Fan Kang's words, Jia Ke felt like seeing the sun behind the clouds. King Beijing Jing had stayed in the court for so many years, and he knew all the secrets of the court.There was nothing wrong with following him.

Then Jia Ke thought again, it seems that he can't have any intersection with this Xie Hu, otherwise he might be implicated by him in the end.

Next, Jia Ke ordered all the troops to pull out the camp, and the army left the city through Deshengmen. It is a common practice for troops to enter and exit through Deshengmen when they go out or return triumphantly. The meaning of nobility symbolizes that the army is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Perhaps it is because of this that the army has Deshengmen in and out in order to win a good fortune.

Jia Ke led his troops out of the Desheng Gate and set up a camp three miles outside the city gate. In order to prevent the Tatars from coming to attack during this period, Jia Ke led [-] cavalry in front of the formation.

Unexpectedly, Jia Ke was right. They had just started camping, and tens of thousands of cavalry came out of the Tatar camp. Led by Arslen Khan's general Meng He, they came to Jia Ke's camp. Waiting in the wings.

Unexpectedly, when they came over, Jia Ke had already led the team to block in front of them.

Meng He led his troops to the opposite side of Jia Ke to watch carefully.I saw that all the soldiers on Jia Ke's side were wearing paper armor, and even the horses were wearing armor. Although it was the same as the original Iron Buddha, it was much lighter and did not affect the speed of the horses.

Seeing Meng He coming, Jia Ke urged his horse and halberd to come to the front of the battle, and shouted at the Tatar camp: "Jia Ke from Xuanfu Town is here, who dares to fight with me?"

There was a commotion in the Tatar camp. Although some people had heard of Jia Ke's reputation, they had never really seen his martial arts.He just wanted to urge the horse to come out and fight Jia Ke.

But Meng He, the main general on the battlefield, waved his hand to stop these people's recklessness.When he came to the Central Plains this time, Meng He thought that Jia Ke would come to the capital for reinforcements, so he learned about Jia Ke's specific combat strength from those who had fought against Jia Ke in private.

As a result, when those people heard the name Jia Ke, their faces turned pale.They all told him tremblingly that Jia Ke was invincible.

Although Meng He thought they were exaggerating, he couldn't deny Jia Ke's martial arts.When he came this time, he didn't intend to fight alone from Jia Ke.Although doing so would damage the morale of his own side, it was better than being killed by Jia Ke without any power to fight back.

At the epicenter, Meng He shouted to Jia Ke, who was showing off his power on the battlefield: "Jia Ke, I know you are superb in martial arts. But on the battlefield, it is not brave for a general to lead an army, so you don't have to shame yourself there."

Then Meng He ordered his soldiers to start wandering around, looking for weaknesses in Jia Ke's army.Then you can kill with one hit.

And Jia Ke did not show weakness, and led the soldiers under his command.He also ran on the battlefield, guarding the camp behind him.

After wandering around the battlefield for a long time, Meng He couldn't find any flaws in Jia Ke's cavalry, which surprised him. No matter how well the Central Plains cavalry was trained, they couldn't compare to those on the grassland who had been on horseback since birth. skilled.

But Jia Ke was able to confront him with these people, and he didn't show his flaws for so long.These cavalry are no different from the elite on the grassland.

At this time, King Beijing on the top of the city couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding when he saw this situation.It seems that this time I made the right choice.Among the troops who came to aid, only Jia Ke's men and horses were able to confront the Tatars.

While the two sides were wandering around and testing each other, the sound of horns suddenly came from the Tatar camp.It was Arslen Khan's order to retreat.In fact, Meng He wanted to retreat a long time ago, because he hadn't found a loophole in the confrontation with Jia Ke for such a long time, and there was no point in continuing the confrontation unless the two sides opened up and it was a hard fight.But this happened to be unacceptable to Arslen Khan.

Now that Meng He had listened to the order, he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.He did not let the troops retreat in a swarm, but kept retreating in batches and batches, covering each other.

Jia Ke originally saw the other party retreating and wanted to lead a charge for a while, but seeing Meng He being so cautious that he had no openings, so he could only monitor them from a distance and let Meng He retreat back to the camp intact.

Jia Ke looked at the Tatar general retreating back in an orderly manner without leaving any openings, and couldn't help frowning. It seemed that this battle was a bit troublesome.

The Tatars have such prudent generals that even if they lose, they will not lose much.In the future, the Central Plains may not have any good ways to restrain the Tatars.In the end, Jia Ke closed her eyes and thought for a while, and there was only one last solution.

That is, at the time of the decisive battle in the future, relying on his own bravery, he led an army into the Tatar formation, causing him to turn the world upside down.This can not only delay the speed of the Tatars' attack and retreat, but also deal a huge blow to the morale of the Tatars army, if it is possible to kill their generals.

Once the Tatars are in chaos, then it is possible for their own side to win.

Not long after the Tatars retreated, talented troops and horses from various Jiedu envoys camped near him, and surrounded the troops of Xuanfu Town.Just now they saw tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry galloping back and forth on the top of the city.It scared them a lot. If they left the city first, the entire army might be wiped out in just one stroke.

At the same time, they also saw the power of Jia Ke's army. They really are worthy of their reputation. They didn't expect the cavalry in Xuanfu Town to stand against tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry for such a long time without losing the wind, and finally forced the other side to be helpless. retreat.This is completely different from the Central Plains cavalry they usually know. No wonder Jia Ke has won so many victories over the years that the Tatars dare not invade Xuanfu Town.

During the whole morning, the envoys of various festivals were around Jia Ke to secure the camp.But Jia Ke led the cavalry, and did not return to the camp immediately, but still guarded them all around.This reassured the Jiedu envoys who had set up camp.

After noon, King Jing of Beijing entered Jia Ke's barracks with his own soldiers, and went directly to the big tent of the Chinese army. Jia Ke had already set up a huge army tent for him here, and there were dozens of small ones around. The tent, guarding the large tent of the Chinese army in it.

As soon as King Beijing entered the big tent, he immediately ordered people to beat drums and gather generals. After a while, various envoys from all walks of life came to the tent. There were eight envoys who came to help this time, namely: Liaodong Jiedu Shi——Xie Hu (in charge of 12 elites in Liaodong), Jia Ke (in charge of 5000 elites) in Xuanfu Town, Wang Zuo in Taiyuan (in charge of 5000 troops), Chunyuhua in Baoding (in charge of 2 troops), Qingzhou Jiedu envoy Huang Ling (commanding 5000 horses), Laizhou Jiedu envoy Guo Min (commanding 1 horses), Shandong general Lin Feng (commanding 1 horses), Henan general soldier Lu Bin (commanding 30 horses).These large armies are gathered in one place, and there are about [-] people.

King Beijing sat in the middle of the big tent, and the envoys of the eight towns and the commander-in-chief, each with their generals, stood on both sides. For a while, there were dozens of generals standing in the big tent.

The king of Beijing swept the generals majestically, and then said: "I follow the orders of your majesty to lead the three armies. The governor's battle against the Tatars, the generals must strictly abide by the military orders. If you violate them, don't blame me." Don't show affection."

All the generals clasped their hands together and replied: "I will respect the order of the commander-in-chief and dare not violate it."

King Bei Jing nodded, "You just remember, go back to rest today, get up at three o'clock tomorrow, eat at four o'clock, and go out to fight at five o'clock, trying to defeat the enemy in one battle. Do you have any questions?"

Liaodong Jiedu Shi Xie Hu came out to ask at this time, "I don't know how to arrange the troops tomorrow, please tell the commander, and we will be ready."

"Tomorrow, the soldiers from Liaodong will be in the front, and the soldiers from Taiyuan and Qingzhou will be on the left. The soldiers from Baoding and Laizhou will be on the right. The soldiers from Shandong and Henan will be in the rear. The soldiers from Xuanfu Town will be in the middle with me. What do you think of the generals?" King Beijing squinted his eyes and looked at Liaodong Jiedu envoy Xie Hu.

Xie Hu was a little unhappy when he heard this, this time his soldiers and horses were the first to bear the brunt, and even if he wins, he would suffer a lot of losses, but in the big tent, the king of Beijing Jing had already given an order, and he dared not disobey it.So he remained silent and returned to the class.

Seeing that Xie Hu didn't refute, but instead retreated to the class, King Bei Jing saw a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.Jia Ke could see clearly from the side, and admired Fan Kang's judgment even more in his heart. The king of Beijing Jing was probably looking for Xie Hu's fault and wanted to seize his military power. He came to Beijing for a short time, so he didn't know the reason. .But he only knew that the King of Beijing was the emperor's confidant, and the person whom the King of Beijing wanted to touch must be the one the emperor wanted to get rid of.

For a while, everyone was speechless, so the King of Beijing asked all the Jiedu envoys to return to their own team to rectify the army.

In the early morning of the next day, the army had a full meal, and King Beijing ordered all the troops to line up in front of the battle.He led all the generals to the front of the battle, and ordered the soldiers to fight against the enemy.

In the Tatar camp, Arslen Khan ordered the army to plunder in the past few days, and the harvested grain, gold and silver, and slaves were innumerable.However, the people of the Southern Dynasties did not dare to resist, and he wiped out the entire village in some villages.

Arslen Khan thought that the time was almost up, and the supplies plundered this year were already enough, and the reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty continued to arrive.Now 40 to [-] people have gathered. Although these soldiers and horses are vulnerable, it is still best to be careful.In particular, Jia Ke from Xuanfu Town also came. Arslen Khan now has a phobia of Jia Ke, and he doesn't want to stay here any longer.

Arslen Khan thought about retreating in a day or two, but things backfired.He had just had breakfast that day when he heard a report from his own soldiers, "Great Khan, the troops of the Southern Dynasty have already lined up outside the camp, clamoring for a decisive battle with the Great Khan, please the Great Khan to make a decision."

Arslen Khan frowned when he heard this. It seemed that the Southern Dynasty was ready for a decisive battle, but he would fight or not.

If you don't fight, the morale of the army will be low, and if you retreat with these supplies, the Southern Dynasty army will follow and chase them. If you take away so many supplies and people by yourself, you must move slowly.At that time, I am afraid that they will be rushed away by the enemy.

If they go out to fight, it would be good if they win. With the power of victory, they will be able to return to the pass safely and enjoy the fruits of this plunder.But if the battle is defeated, I am afraid that a large part of the wealth plundered this time will not be taken away.

After deliberating over it, Arslenhan finally decided to fight.For one thing, the Tatars have no reason to avoid war.The second is that even if they are defeated, they can escape with their fast horses, but they will only lose wealth and population.This is no different from not fighting.

But Arslen Khan still made preparations. He ordered his general Meng He to take tens of thousands of cavalry without going to battle, and immediately retreated northward with the wealth and population plundered this time.If he wins, he will naturally be able to catch up with them very quickly.If it is a defeat, he can also bring the remnants of the defeated generals to join Meng He, and he can also fight the Central Plains people in a battle.

After arranging the retreat, Arslen Khan ordered the horn to be blown, and the army assembled outside the camp.

At this time, King Beijing was wearing a golden helmet and armor, leading dozens of generals, waiting in front of the formation.Suddenly the gate of the Tatar camp opened wide, and countless cavalry poured out from it. As soon as these cavalry came to the front of the formation, they kept galloping and roaring to prevent the enemy from making a surprise attack.

Not long after, dozens of generals came from the Tatar camp, guarding a yellow canopy, and came before the army.

Under the canopy of Huang Luo, there is a young, handsome and imposing young man.When Jia Ke saw this man, a smile appeared on his mouth.In his opinion, this person is an old acquaintance, who else is not Arslen Khan?
King Beijing saw the other party lined up, looked around and asked: "The other party has already lined up, who dares to go up and challenge for a while, so as to strengthen our army."

A general flew out from behind Xie Hu, and saw that this general had a golden helmet, a golden armor, and a soap robe, and was carrying a Fang Tian painted halberd, and at first glance, he looked somewhat similar to Jia Ke.This person is Luo Wang, a general under Xie Hu's command, who is quite powerful in the army.

Luo Wang came to the King of Beijing and said loudly: "The last general is not talented, and I would like to take the lead."

King Beijing was overjoyed: "That's it, the general can go, and I will position the general to repay the merits."

After hearing this, Luo Wang thanked him, rode his horse and danced his halberd to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "I am Luo Wang, the general under Liaodong Jiedushi's command, who dares to fight with me?"

Arslen Khan just saw a man with a golden helmet, so Fang Tian drew a halberd and came out to challenge him.I was taken aback at the time, thinking it was Jia Ke who had come.Listening to what he said now, it turned out that he was just an unknown person.He couldn't help but said angrily to the left and right: "This man from the Southern Dynasty thinks that he can be invincible by wearing clothes similar to Jia Ke. Who will take his life to relieve my hatred." This Luo Wang, as Jia Ke's stand-in, wants to vent his anger on him.

Ba Gen, one of the four horses among the Tatar generals, responded at this time: "Great Khan, I will take his life and come back to vent my anger on Khan." .

In fact, on the surface, Bagen wanted to take the lead in order to strengthen his reputation.In fact, he was cunning in his heart. The reason why he was the first to fight was that the people who had just come out were probably not all nameless people, and none of them could survive against him.

But after a period of time when Jia Ke came out, he could justify retreating because of his physical strength, and it would be much safer for him to leave Jia Ke to others for a duel.This was also the last time he and Jia Ke fought, and Jia Ke was frightened, so he came up with this idea this time.

Besides, when Luo Wang saw a burly man flying out from the opposite side, with a burly figure and a pair of big hammers in his hands, his heart trembled.In ancient times, those who could fight with hammers were all powerful generals. He thought that although he had some martial arts skills, he might not be an opponent when he met these powerful people.But now it's hard to get off the tiger, and he can only use his scalp to fight with him for a few rounds.
