Borrow the day to change the day

The five thousand Guanning cavalry where Zhong Jinwei was located kept shifting places to avoid Jianlu's search.

But no matter how they moved and how they tried to hide their tracks, they couldn't hide it for too long, for three reasons.

First, they cannot be too far away from Changli City, this is their biggest restriction.

Second, the [-] cavalry, including traces of people and horses, is very difficult to hide.

Third, Jianlu's detectives are all elites, veterans of tracking, who are good at finding out the truth about the enemy from clues. [

Therefore, Jianlu's Tanma quickly fought against Ye Bushou, the peripheral Yebushou of the five thousand Guanning cavalry.The explorers in other directions immediately surrounded the battle area like sharks smelling blood.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that no matter how the [-] cavalry army changes places, there will be Jianlu scouting horses accompanying them like a shadow.

Soon, the approximate size and location of this Ming army was returned to Daishan.

In fact, if it takes too long to find the trace of this Ming army, Dai Shan, a veteran who has fought for many years, can guess that the number of this Ming army will not be too large, because it is too difficult to hide the army .

Daishan quickly called the leaders of the Mongolian tribes to a meeting, informed that the number of the Ming army was about [-], and roughly marked the location on the military map.

After these Mongols understood the current situation, Daishan announced: "Ben Beile decided to destroy this Ming army, and we Dajin will do it. You divide into two parts and block their way from the left and right."

Jianlu had a very strong psychological advantage over the Ming army in field battles. He suffered a loss under the city of Changli, and all the grievances he suffered had to be vented on the Ming army.

As for the fact that this Ming army was able to destroy the previous Mongolian servant army, it was attributed by Dai Shan to the fact that the incident happened suddenly, they had calculated their plans, and were ambushed. It cannot be said that the combat power of the two sides is really different.

Besides, can the combat power of these servants compare with that of the Dajin army?It's not that Daishan underestimated them. Five thousand big gold warriors could sweep the [-] or so Mongolian army.

When these Mongolian leaders heard that the number of the Ming army was not large, and the Jin army was fighting, they were only going to assist, and they didn't have to fight Changli City again. It's a good thing!

Therefore, they all expressed their opinions that there was no problem, listen to Baylor, go with Baylor, and go there wherever they say, without saying a word.

Daishan looked down on these Mongols at all in his heart. He bullied the weak and feared the hard. He would frown when he gnawed on a hard bone, and he would rob each other if he could take advantage of it.

Therefore, he directly regarded the attitude of these Mongols and ordered them to return to the camp to prepare for departure.

Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan has been inspecting the west wall of Changli since he confirmed the arrival of imperial reinforcements, hoping to see the imperial army with pennants lined up densely in sight.

But unfortunately, every time I look with hope, I end up looking back in disappointment.

Logically speaking, the imperial army should not be very far away from Changli, which can be measured from the time when the Tartar army set off to the entire army was wiped out.

But why didn't it appear for a long time? Could it be that he encountered other troops from Jianlu?

Zuo Yingxuan didn't feel like it, because he only saw a large number of Tartars heading west, but he didn't see a large army of Tartars marching forward to assist.

Zuo Yingxuan couldn't figure it out, and was a little worried.It's not that he is worried about the reinforcements. He believes that the reinforcements that can wipe out the entire army of the Tartars will never be something Jianlu can deal with casually. [

He was worried that if the reinforcements did not show up for a long time, if they came to completely relieve Changli, the food in the city would be insufficient.

Zuo Yingxuan was worried about the shortage of food in Changli city, Zhong Jinwei didn't consider it at all, and He Kegang and Cao Wenzhao didn't know the exact situation of Changli even if they wanted to think about it. Judging from it, they didn't know the hidden worries of Changli.

Zhong Jinwei and the others were indeed within the estimated range of Jianlu, not far from Changli, only half an hour away.

At this time, the army was taking a break, and the three supreme leaders gathered for a meeting.

"Supervisor, the number of Jianlu scouts has been increasing since they spotted us last night, and they have appeared in several directions, and they can't be driven away. This situation can't continue." He Kegang analyzed the situation to Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei knew that these probing horses were the tentacles of the main force of Jianlu, and following him like this was tantamount to telling the main force of Jianlu outside Changli City about their whereabouts, which is really bad!

"Is there no way to drive them away?" Zhong Jinwei was a little unconvinced. He had [-] troops on his side. What are you doing to return the carbine? Run for a while and lay an ambush or something. Would it be useless?

"Supervisor, these Jianlu scouts are veterans, they just follow from a distance and don't get close. And they are monitoring in groups at a distance. Even if we find an opportunity to kill the scouts in front, we can't help the ones behind. The most important thing is that we We can’t be too far away from Changli, so we can’t get rid of them.” Cao Wenzhao heard Zhong Jinwei’s question and helped He Kegang explain to him.

"Then what should we do? It is absolutely impossible to fight recklessly with the main force of the Tartars outside Changli City. Although I offered to save Changli, I can't let you fight recklessly with your life." Zhong Jinwei said with a frown.

Both He Kegang and Cao Wenzhao remained silent, and no one could do anything for a while.

"Otherwise, if we enter Changli City and defend the city, the Tartars will not even be able to defeat Changli, which is only defended by the people. After we enter, the Tartars will not be able to fight." Zhong Jinwei came up with an idea.

Cao Wenzhao looked at He Kegang, and seeing that he hadn't expressed any opinion, he said to Zhong Jinwei: "Supervisor, we are cavalry troops. If we enter Changli, we will lose mobility. I can't get out."

At this time, He Kegang also added: "Changli city is small, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate our [-] cavalry."

"Then what do you say?" Zhong Jinwei was a little discouraged when he heard that what they said made sense, so he asked the two generals for advice.

Strategies are not useful at all times, and in the face of absolute strength, stratagems are of little use.

Now the [-] cavalry army is facing about [-] Jianlu elites, and about [-] Mongol Tartar troops. The difference in strength is too great, and there are really few strategies that can be used.

Gu Baichuan, who was guarding Zhong Jinwei, was usually shrewd, but he was helpless when he encountered this kind of marching and fighting.Therefore, there is no suggestion to make.

Zhong Jinwei discussed with He Kegang and Cao Wenzhao until the scheduled rest time came, but they still couldn't come up with a good plan, so they had to go around Changli first.

Zuo Yingxuan, the magistrate of Changli County, was inspecting the porridge distribution situation in the city. When the alarm bell sounded to find him, he hurried to the east city wall regardless of continuing the current civil affairs.

When he reached the top of the city, the guard Shi Guozhu was already there, watching the situation on the other side of the Tatar camp together with some gentry.

Zuo Yingxuan saw that the Tartar camp was full of people, and it seemed that they were still dismantling the tents and preparing to move out.

Everyone's first thought was that the Tatars were about to withdraw their troops. It seemed that the imperial army had come and they wanted to flee. [

Finally, the day came when Chang Li was finally saved.

Victory was just around the corner. With their own strength, the people of Changli managed to hold back the Tatars' siege for seven consecutive days. Everyone slowly began to weep with joy.

But gradually, a few people with military experience realized that something was wrong, and the Tartars outside the city did not seem to be fleeing.Because their order is not chaotic at all, they are doing what they are doing in an orderly manner.

The tents were put away, the tribes assembled the troops, and then there were Tartar leaders running in front of the battle. It was obvious that they were mobilizing before the battle. Yes, they were mobilizing before the war.

Guard Shi Guozhu was the first to understand, and quietly explained these details to the county venerable Zuo Yingxuan.

These Tartars were definitely going to deal with the reinforcements who came to rescue Changli, seeing them, they seemed to have a plan in mind, Zuo Yingxuan's heart sank again.

If the reinforcements to rescue Changli were defeated by the Tartars, Changli would really be hopeless.

Zuo Yingxuan looked at the village soldiers and civilian husbands who were still happy, and looked back at the people in the city who were crying and laughing after receiving the news.He sighed secretly in his heart, and he didn't explain it. He, who never believed in gods and Buddhas, secretly prayed for reinforcements in his heart.

Sure enough, Shi Guozhu guessed right. Not long after, the Tatars started off in a team, bypassing Changli and heading west.

When passing by Changli City, everyone on the top of the city could clearly see the murderous face of the Tartars.

When he reached a fork in the west of Changli City, Daishan reined in his mount and said to the Mongolian chiefs beside him: "The Ming army is about fifteen li ahead, you can drive there in two ways, left and right. Drive that Ming army over, and our Da Jin army will attack them head-on, beating them all."
