There was a mess outside Xinghe castle, and the human and horse remains were scattered everywhere.

There was smoke of gunpowder under the city. Arutai turned his horse and went back to the camp without a word.

Back to the big tent, alutai said in a deep voice: "three days! At the end of YeHu ridge, the Ming army of Xuanfu is clinging to our people. The Ming emperor must have left Beijing. From Peiping to here, if the Ming emperor makes a light cavalry raid, it will only be five or six days."

It's not slow to ride two people.

If the Ming army were willing to fight horses, it wouldn't even take five or six days.

After a long-distance attack, the war horses need to recuperate before they can recover slowly. However, for those old war horses, one attack is enough to retire them.

"Three days, three days at most! If we can't win Xinghe castle, we must return."

Arutai's eyes flashed fiercely: "so, every time you attack the city, you give half of the people, and the grand master gives the other half. Whoever dares to shrink back, kill!"

This is going to be desperate. Tuohuan coughed softly. A leader came out and said, "master, the firearms of the Ming people are fierce. If they attack the city like the ants a few days ago, they can't move!"

Alutai stared at the man and said, "since yesterday, the Ming army has only fire guns. My grand master has made some iron shields. Warriors everywhere start with shields. Can those fire guns break through the iron shields?"

"Grand master! When did you forge the iron shield?"

A pair of shocked eyes made alutai only feel the wind under his armpit. He sneered: "when you wait for mutual prevarication, the craftsmen brought by the grand master have begun to build!"

This is the leader!

Always one step ahead, think of things that others can't think of, and always find another way in despair.

Tuohuan's eyes flashed a trace of disdain, and then quietly withdrew from the big account.

Outside the big tent, tuohuan looked at the soldiers, hugged his chest with both hands, and suddenly said, "there is no spirit, and this battle will be defeated!"

"Little prince, if there is an iron shield, I'm not sure!"

"Shit iron shield!"

Tuohuan said, "the Ming army has a big gun. Once it is issued, no iron shield can stop it. Alutai thinks he has a plan. In fact, he is a fool!"

"Little prince, what shall we do?"

"You go down in private and talk to those guys. When things are wrong, listen to my orders and let's go together."

"Yes."

Tuohuan turned back and looked at the big account representing his identity. His eyes were cold.

……

"Your Majesty, it's time to arrive!"

In the lobby, Fang Xing pointed to the map and said, "according to the itinerary of your Majesty's army, when you receive the news, that is, in the Longmen area, with your Majesty's courage, it must be a light ride."

Zhu Zhanji didn't speak. He knew the old man's temperament.

——Fiery!

Wang he blinked and said, "alutai's offensive these days is weak. Can you guess something and ambush his majesty?"

"No!"

Fang Xing said, "since the northern guard station and merchants have been cleaned up, it is impossible to get information easily on the grassland!"

"If it were someone else, he would certainly send a striker to solve the siege. He would walk slowly in the middle of the army. It is appropriate to advance and retreat. If he wins, he will take credit, and if he loses, his subordinates will be incompetent!"

Think about the emperors in history. It's invincible to fight in person.

But Zhu Di

"Your majesty will lead the army to raid, and I have no doubt that when the enemy attacks the city on a large scale, so..."

"In order to hold arutai, we must take risks." Sun Yue suggested, "Your Highness, uncle, we can relax and attract arutai to come, so that your majesty can give him a hard blow."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "the city can be launched with dense fire and guns. Even if the enemy goes to the city, it is not enough to be afraid. It is feasible!"

"Your Highness, the enemy has begun!"

……

A low-lying area ten miles away from Xinghe fort is densely populated with people and horses.

Zhang Fu and Zhu gaoxu looked around with binoculars at a high place to see the enemy's tracks. After looking at them for a long time, they only found a team of Rangers. Zhu gaoxu said, "alutai is good at using troops. How can they not be prepared for a surprise attack?"

Zhang Fu waved and they trotted back.

"How?"

Zhu Di's image is not good. His beard is tangled into a rope. His face is red and his wrinkles are deeper.

Zhu gaoxu said, "father emperor, the enemy here is careless in investigation, and the children's ministers think it's wrong!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "this is a good thing. Alutai is still waiting for me to appear from YeHu ridge, otherwise he would have run away!"

"Send scouts. Don't ride horses. Isn't there a disguise? Get close to the grassland and let them see what's going on over Xinghe castle."

More than a dozen sergeants put on a set of grass-green clothes and went with binoculars.

"Eat some dry food, feed horses and check weapons."

Zhu Di got up and shook his body. Zhang Fu and Zhu gaoxu hurried to help him left and right, but he shook his arms away.

"I'm not old!"

Zhu Di took a look at the sky, then mounted his horse and went to check the situation of the whole army.

After a few days of running, everyone seemed particularly tired.

Seeing Zhu Di coming, the soldiers silently saluted.

When the emperor was sixty, he followed everyone on a long-distance attack and came to inspect immediately without rest.

Seeing everyone's spirit, Zhu Di nodded and came to Xuanwu Wei.

"Your majesty!"

Chen de bowed down and the Xuanwu guards behind him got up silently.

Zhu Di frowned when he saw the guns everywhere and said, "is the gun heavy?"

Chen de was stunned. Turning back to see the scene, he shouted: "take their guns with you. Check them immediately!"

The sergeants hurried to find their muskets and were in a mess for a time.

Zhu gaoxu said discontentedly, "it's all rubbish! If the enemy raids at this time, it's just a incense burning hour, and the whole army will be defeated!"

Chen De quickly apologized. Zhu Di said, "the way to train troops is first to pay attention to military law. Without military law, there is no strong army. Although the Xuanwu guard has not been in the army for a long time, it has failed to train!"

If he moved to another place, Zhu Di could immediately clean up Chen De, but not now. His morale can't be let off.

"Remember, the array can't be disordered!"

Zhu Di left without a word. Zhu gaoxu turned back and shouted, "look at Jubao mountain guard. Thanks to your careful selection, I think it's waste!"

Chen de was numbly criticized. The commander of Xuanwu Wei should have been transferred from Zhuque Wei, but Zhu Di chose him in the end for a simple reason.

Don't let Zhu que Wei and Xuanwu Wei be too close!

But that's how the instructor sent by Zhuque Wei practices. He has a fart way!

Looking all the way down, Zhu Di felt that his body had recovered a lot.

The war horse is bound after a meal, and people

After a turn, the scouts came back.

"Your Majesty, more than 30000 enemy troops are hoarding around Xinghe fort and are attacking."

"There are more than 10000 people?"

Zhu gaoxu asked, immediately patting his head and said, "yes, it must be a confrontation with the Xuanfu reinforcements at YeHu ridge."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "give orders to the whole army to set out immediately. The scouts will spread out and clear the enemy's eyes and ears."

When the order was given, the concave land immediately began to boil

"Give me armor!"

Zhu Di closed his eyes and stretched out his hands
