The Xifengkou was too small to accommodate a hundred thousand troops, so Zhu Youjian ordered the troops to camp and rest in the pass.
Participant Wang Ling who guarded Xifengkou met Zhu Youqin and entered the customs.
Zhu Youjian boarded the Xifeng Pass and found that there was a drop of nearly 100 meters outside the pass. He took a breath: "General Wang, Xifeng Pass is so steep, how can my army leave the pass?"
Wang Ling pointed to the east with his hand: "Your Majesty, please see, the end will have already carved out a slope on the east side of Xifengkou, and filled it with sacks filled with loess. Now there is only a gentle slope with a small angle. All can pass."
Zhu Youjian looked eastward, and sure enough there was a gentle slope, and it was still a new trace, "What about my grain, grass and artillery? The artillery is too heavy, can I get out of here?"
"Your Majesty, since war horses can pass the customs, transport vehicles can also slow down, we have tested it, your majesty do not worry, but the artillery is too heavy, you must wait for the army to clear the customs, use a lot of loess, pile up the approach road along the mountain road, You can pass the customs, but there is no other way.” After learning that Zhu Youjian would like to conquer himself, Wang Ling had already made full preparations.
"Well, General Wang is interested!" Zhu Youzhen patted Wang Ling's shoulder gently, "When my army wins and returns to the court, there will be a reward."
Wang Ling immediately kowtowed to Zhu Youjian: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, and I will wish your Majesty a victory and wipe out the remnants of slavery as soon as possible."
"Hey, get up!" Zhu Youjian grinned, "Look at me, haven't you been mistaken for me?"
"Your Majesty, Jun has no jokes." Wang Ling smirked as he got up.
Zhu Youzhen sternly said: "General Wang, first guard the mouth of Xifeng."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the final guarantee, Xifeng Mouth is as solid as a rock!"
"General Wang, what's the situation outside the pass?" Zhu Youjian is more concerned about the periphery of Xifengkou, which is related to whether the army can leave the pass in secret, and it is also related to the success of the Northern Expedition.
"Your Majesty, outside the mouth of Xifeng are the three Doyan tribes of Mongolia. From south to north, they are the Doyan tribe, Taining tribe, and Fuyu tribe. Because the Doyan tribe is the most powerful, it is called the three Doyan tribes. They gradually go south. The relocation, especially the Duoyan Department, has approached the Great Wall."
"How is the relationship between Duoyan Sanbu and Daming now?"
"Your Majesty, since the Northern Expedition, the Doyan Tribe has been surrendered to Daming, but with the rise of the slave building, the Doyan Tribunal has surrendered to build a slave. Although there is no direct conflict with Daming across the Great Wall, they have always been close. Build a slave and regard Daming as an enemy."
"It's because of the establishment of a slave again!" Zhu Youjian frowned, "Is the Duoyan Department outside the pass now?"
"Your Majesty, because we seldom go out across the Great Wall, we don't know much about them. However, in previous years, they usually went south in April. Now the weather is cold and the grass has not grown."
After dinner, Zhu Youzhen still didn't give up. He asked Liu Lin with the army to interrogate Liu Lin: "Is there a message from the Duoyan Department on the opposite side?"
Liu Lin bowed his hand in a salute: "Your Majesty, we have too few investigations in Doyan Sanbu, and there is no news yet."
"Oh, then you retreat!" Zhu Youxian waved his hand, and called the messenger: “Passing, rest early tonight. Tomorrow Mao, with the Royal First Division Li Junbu, go out first and let them bring their own for three days. After leaving the customs, he quickly arranged a defensive formation on the periphery.
The sky was just getting bright, and the Royal First Division was ready to go. They gathered in front of the mouth of Xifeng, only waiting for Li Jun's order.
Wang Ling personally opened the front and rear barriers and guided the army to exit.
By noon, the whole division had already cleared most of the customs. They laid a ten-mile circular defensive position outside the mouth of Xifeng.
Due to the temporary soil slope, a landslide appeared under the trampling of the war horses. The closed soldiers took out spare sacks and refilled them with soil.
It was not until dusk that the Royal First Division all exited.
The first division expanded the defensive position to 20 miles, and released a large number of ten-man rangers, expanding the defense to nearly a hundred miles.
With 10,000 soldiers leaving the customs, Zhu Youjian was relieved. He ordered the Royal Second Division Wang Peng's department to leave the customs as soon as possible overnight.
On the third day, riding around 80 miles outside the mouth of Xifeng, a Duoyan tribe was found.
Ranger Captain Su Yuguang immediately sent three rangers back to send a message, and he took the remaining seven rangers to closely monitor the tribe.
Two hours later, Anshun, commander of the Royal 101st Brigade, arrived.
Su Yuguang came out from the dense forest nearby: "Brigade seat, Duoyan is behind the slope."
"How many of them are there?"
"We dare not get too close to see the truth. Just now a rider climbed to the top of the tree. Judging from the number of tents, there were thousands of them."
"Thousands?" Anshun frowned, "We are only three thousand people, and it seems difficult to wipe them out. The division said that the army has not cleared all the customs, so we must not leak the information."
Su Yuguang looked at the big tent of the Duoyan people from a distance, "The brigade, although there are thousands of Duoyan people, they are not all cavalry. There are also old people, women and children, three thousand soldiers, and they should be able to defeat them."
Anshun shook his head: "It's not defeat, it's annihilation. The division has repeatedly warned that if a Doyan person leaves, the message of my army's exit will be leaked out."
Su Yuguang also had no way: "What should I do?"
Anshun pointed to the front right: "I'll detour behind them first. After an hour, the division will personally come over, let the division attack from the front!"
"Well, the brigade seat quietly passed, I am here waiting for the teacher seat."
An hour later, Li Jun personally led the Royal No. 102 and No. 103 Brigade to the grove.
Su Yuguang drilled out of the small forest: "Master!"
"Huh? It's you? Where's Anshun? It doesn't seem to be a fight?" Li Jun was very surprised, and Anshun came over, almost an hour away.
"Master, the brigade is worried that the Doyan people will flee north, he detours to the rear to cut off the way back for the Doyan people.
"This Anshun is a bit brainy." Li Jun scolded with a smile, "Yuguang, how many people are there in Duoyan?"
"Return to Master, there are thousands of Duoyan people, and they are a small tribe."
"So many? No wonder Anshun is worried about them fleeing north, where are they now?"
Su Yuguang pointed his finger: "It's behind which slope."
Li Jun looked in the direction of Su Yuguang's finger, but couldn't see anything, "Why don't you see a figure?"
"Master, as long as you cross this slope, you can see the Duoyan people."
Li Jun looked at the surrounding terrain: "The 102nd Brigade, divided into three columns, stay on the left side of the slope, Yuguang, please make some movement and bring out the Duoyan people."
"Yes, Master." Su Yuguang moved his hand, "Go, let's go in and see how many people there are in Doyan."
Several wanderers, under the sun and moon flag of the Ming army, swaggered over the slope and entered the vicinity of the Doyan people's big tent.
On the back of the slope, the Doyan people’s tents are densely packed and can accommodate at least three thousand people. Around the tent, some men with black face, long beard and leather cap were scattered.
Su Yuguang's arrival obviously shocked them. Their gazes left their original target and glanced at Su Yuguang and the others.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Probably they discovered that Su Yuguang's clothes were different from theirs. They drank in Mongolian and pointed their fingers at Su Yuguang and the others.
Su Yuguang knew a little Mongolian, but he pretended not to understand, so he sneered at those Doyan people.
The Doyan people were furious. One of them put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle. In an instant, a large number of Doyan people emerged from the tent, including strong men, women and children.
Su Yuguang turned his head and ran when he saw that the situation was not right.
More than 30 Doyan people stepped on their horses and hurriedly chased them over. They wished to devour Su Yuguang and his gang alive.
Su Yuguang turned the slope and hid behind the gunmen.
When the Doyan people chased over, they suddenly discovered that there were a large number of people in gray suits standing in front of them.
There were too many people in gray cloth, and Duoyan stopped anxiously. They pointed at Ming Jun, yelled, and they spoke as fast as a bird, even Su Yuguang couldn't understand it.
The Ming army was motionless in front of the Duoyan cavalry. The flintlocks in the hands of the gunmen pointed to the Duoyan cavalry.
Maybe they were tired of shouting. Seeing that the Ming army didn't respond, they discussed with each other for a while, and then two cavalrymen turned around and turned back. The rest of the cavalry were still staring at the Ming army gunmen.
"Master, they must go back and call someone!" Su Yuguang stayed behind Li Jun.
"It should be, I'm afraid they won't come."
The Ming army didn't wait long before he heard a violent sound of horseshoes, coupled with the reverberation of the valley and woods, Li Jun could not judge how many Duoyan people had come.
This was the first time the gunmen faced the cavalry after the Ming army left the customs. They all looked nervous. The flintlock in their hands was held so tightly that they didn't even know that the fingers were sore.
Li Jun is also very nervous. A group of veterans who have never been on the battlefield, plus the flintlock is a new type of firearm, in their hands, this is the first time they have used it on the battlefield.
Fortunately, Li Jun had already marked a hundred paces away. He silently came behind the gunmen, "Don't be nervous, stare at the red line a hundred paces away."
"Yes, teacher... Seat."
The soldiers were still a little nervous, and Li Jun couldn't help it. For the first time, no matter what he did, nervousness was always unavoidable. He could only stay behind the soldiers and use companionship to relieve the soldiers' tension.
"Brothers, prepare, the Doyan people are about to enter the firing range." Li Jun tried to lengthen the words to increase the soldier's reaction time.
"Da da da… "
The sound of horseshoes became more and more intense, and the hearts of the soldiers were beating with the horseshoes.
"Ready to... shoot."
This time, Li Jun didn't hesitate anymore, Duoyan had entered the range of the flintlock rifle, either the fish died or the net broke.
"boom."
"boom."
"boom."
…
The gunfire was chaotic, and obviously did not meet the strategic requirements of the salvo. Li Jun couldn't care much, as long as he could shoot the Duoyan cavalry.
The Duoyan cavalry at the front seemed to hit a fishing net. They screamed and rushed down from their horses to make zero-distance contact with the ground.
"Good job, that's it." Li Jun clapped his palms behind him, "The second row shoots, the first row loads."
The Duoyan cavalry was obviously confused by the Ming army's flintlock, but the cavalry did not slow down and continued to rush towards the Ming army's position.
When the cavalry behind entered the flintlock range, the gunmen of the second row also rang.
When all three rows of gunmen of the Ming army finished shooting at once, the five hundred duoyan cavalrymen had all left their horsebacks. They either called, rolled, or quietly listened to the sound of their blood flowing, or closed. The upper eyes are already dead.
Li Jun was overjoyed. After this short battle, the soldiers had already experienced the baptism of blood, "Quickly, clean the battlefield and make up for the wounded."
Some soldiers were in a daze. They didn't even know how the Doyan people died. There were also some brave soldiers who put down their flintlocks and drew their sabers from their waists to make up for the wounded Doyan soldiers with a fatal knife.
"Master, there are many Doyan people in front of you, what should I do?"
"There is only one way, kill." Li Jun saw that all the Doyan wounded soldiers had been massacred. "Brothers, across the slope, there are also Doyan people on the opposite side. They have killed countless of us Han Chinese. Now is the time to settle accounts."
Li Jun didn't know whether the Doyan people had killed the Han people, but the Doyan people approached the Great Wall, deterred the pass on the Great Wall, and invaded the land of Daming. It was not much different from killing.
