At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 36
The north wind was hunting, and the sound of galloping horseshoes broke the silence of the night.

Zhu Qizhen led the [-] battalion forward for seventy or eighty miles in one go. At this time, they were exhausted and their speed gradually slowed down.

Li Zhen followed closely behind and asked, "Your Majesty, where are we going now?"

Zhu Qizhen looked around, under the hazy moonlight, the visible range was no more than half a meter, and he could only vaguely hear some sounds in the distance, as if the Wala people were still chasing after him.

"Which line is the closest to Beijing?"

Li Zhen replied: "Keep going forward, enter the customs through Gubeikou, and then you can go all the way south to Changping!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and was about to make a decision when suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Entering through Gubeikou, this is the closest route back to Beijing.

However, what I can think of, can't the Wala people think of it?

At this time, the night is dark and the wind is high, and I can't see the other party, and the other party can't see myself.

In such a situation, what would they do?
"Li Zhen!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhu Qizhen asked suddenly: "If you were a Wala, what would you do?"

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, and murmured: "The minister will guess the most likely route of the emperor's march, and then continue to pursue."

"You're right!" Zhu Qizhen said thoughtfully, "The Wala people are all excellent at riding. If we continue to move forward, we may be overtaken before we reach Gubeikou."

"Then... what should we do?"

Zhu Qizhen's brain is running fast, the number of pursuers is dominant, it is obviously not wise to fight recklessly, there is no time to set up traps, if you want to get rid of them, you can only do the opposite.

After making up his mind, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Northwest direction!"

Li Zhen was puzzled, thinking that she had heard wrong.

Going northwest, isn't the farther you go from the capital?
Moreover, the northwest direction is the territory of Waara, and enemy troops may appear at any time!

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you lead 1000 people to stay behind to stop the pursuers. Your Majesty will lead the people one step ahead and return to Beijing through Beigukou!"

Zhu Qizhen knew that Li Zhen wanted to abandon the car to keep her handsome, and volunteered to be that car, but I don't even want to give up my life as a refugee. Would I just watch my soldiers die?
"According to my will, march towards the northwest, the speed can be slowed down, and the noise made by the horses should be minimized!"

Li Zhen said anxiously: "Your Majesty, my minister..."

"This is an imperial decree!" Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said, "Execute it!"

"My minister... according to the order!"

Li Zhen shook her head secretly and said nothing more.

The Ming army traveled all night, and when the sun rose in the east, they did not know how far they had traveled.

Zhu Qizhen stood on a low hillside, looking around, the pursuers behind him had long since disappeared. It seemed that they really went in the direction of Gubeikou.

Although temporarily got rid of the chasing soldiers, the current situation is still not optimistic.

Yexian's main force was still at Badaling, and Beigukou had pursuers. Neither of these two passes could be passed. It seemed that there was no third way to go.

Li Zhen said from behind: "Your Majesty, you can't go further north, or you will enter the territory of the Oirats!"

As soon as this remark came out, a thought suddenly flashed in Zhu Qizhen's mind.

It is true that the grassland is the territory of the enemy. Don’t forget, there is a saying that the more dangerous the place, the safer. Now that the Oirats are coming out in full force, how many people are left in the family who can fight?
In fact, Wala's attack on Daming this time did not have only one army, but four.

He also led an army of 12 first, and then added another [-]. A total of [-] main troops attacked the Datong and Xuanfu areas.

Ara Zhiyuan led 3 people to attack Xuanfu, and then merged with Yexianbu.

In addition, the West Route Army A Le led 2 troops to invade from Suzhou, and the East Road Tuotuobuhua led 3 troops to raid Liaodong. The Fourth Route Army almost took all the troops on the grassland. Mobei The old nest has long been without soldiers to defend.

What would it be like if a Ming army cavalry suddenly entered Mobei at this time?
The moment this idea appeared, he himself felt terrified.

If the army goes deep alone, the whole army may be wiped out at any time.

If successful, it will be like a sharp sword, piercing the heart of the Wala people.

This is a gamble, a gamble of fate.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind.

After all, there are three thousand soldiers behind them, and their lives should not be regarded as bets.

However, when he thought of the bloody battles these days, and those soldiers who died in front of him, he suddenly felt the blood in his whole body start to boil.

Why can you invade my land and slaughter my people?

Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want, do you think my Daming is a bus!

Zhu Qizhen raised his head slowly, and said resolutely, "Continue to go north!"

Li Zhen was very puzzled, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you go any further, you will really enter the territory of the Oirats!"

"Their territory?" Zhu Qizhen said with a sneer, "Under the whole world, could it be that the king's land, even the remnant forces dare to touch my territory of Ming Dynasty, I will go to their hometown to see if it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair!"

Li Zhen was shocked, her first reaction was that the emperor was crazy!
However, after thinking about it, the way back to Beijing is already blocked. If he breaks into Mobei, maybe he can really break through a way.

Zhu Qizhen lifted the reins, and the horse under him turned a corner, facing the crowd.

"Generals!"

Seeing the emperor's lecture, everyone immediately quieted down and waited quietly.

"You followed me out of the city to kill the enemy and save the people who were captured by the Oirats. Your contribution is indisputable!"

"However, we can't just go back like this now. The Wala people have invaded our Daming border town for a long time and slaughtered our Daming people. I don't know if there are any of your family members among these suffering people, but sooner or later, their butcher's knives will be on the ground. On the heads of your parents, family members, brothers and sisters!"

"Relying on the advantage of the cavalry, they come and go whenever they want. How can there be such a cheap deal in the world?"

"That's why I'm going to take all of you into the Oirats' lair together, and let them taste what it's like to be slaughtered, so as to avenge the tens of thousands of Ming people who died!"

"I want the Wala people to understand a truth, blood debt must be paid with blood!"

hum!
After Zhu Qizhen finished speaking, the bottom immediately boiled.

Everyone is excited and excited.

During the first half of this expedition, he was kicked and beaten by the Oirats, and he was useless.

Although the emperor led everyone to turn defeat into victory, no one dared to go deep into the desert to slaughter the Oirats' lair!

If it can be successful, it can be called an ancient achievement!

Li Zhen didn't hesitate anymore, he finally understood the emperor's intention, and at the same time, the blood in his whole body was already surging.

He drew out his waist knife and shouted vigorously: "Blood debt is paid with blood!"

With Li Zhen taking the lead, all the soldiers shouted.

"eye for eye!"

"eye for eye!"

"eye for eye!"

Seeing the high spirits of the soldiers, Zhu Qizhen turned his horse's head again and pointed his sword at the desert.

"Listen to my orders, let's go!"
