“Fast, speed up.”

A general wearing mountain armor and dark skin stood by the roadside, loudly urging the Ming cavalry who was advancing in front of him. In the cavalry, there were many cattle and horses filled with goods, driven by the Ming cavalry.

Go quickly.

They burned Yu Dayou's troops of the Datong Army who had burned Banshengcheng by fire two days ago. After moving all the valuable items in the palace, they burned the palace built by Qiu Fu and others for Altan Khan.

Afterwards, Yu Dayou and his men began to escape.

Before the assault board is raised to the city, of course, there are many whistle drivers around the city to intercept messengers sent out to convey messages.

However, the dozens of knights that Zhao Quan took away must not be stopped. Although the messengers sent to Xuanfu were stopped for several groups, they could not guarantee whether there were any fish that had missed the net.

After Yu Dayou got the exact news, the first thing he had to do was naturally to retreat at full speed and return to the side wall of Datong. Only when he got there was a safe place.

When he came, Yu Dayou's troops only took four days, but the return trip slowed down because they carried a large number of seizures. As he moved forward like this, Yu Dayou was not sure whether he would be intercepted by reinforcements from Altan's troops in Xuanfu.

Although Yu Dayou estimated that even if Altan got the news, it would take several days to gather the people to scatter, which would be enough for them to return to Datong.

But Yu Dayou also knew one thing, that is, if Altan Khan did not draw troops to intercept them, but sent troops directly from the Royal Guard, he would have time to stop them outside the Great Wall.

Regarding this, Yu Dayou naturally would not talk to Li Wenjin and Liu Han. If he couldn't make a fuss, he would let the two of them give up the decision to go to the battle this time.

The reactions of the two were a bit beyond Yu Dayou's expectations.

As a civil servant, it is normal for Li Wenjin to not understand many things. Even though he has been transferred to Datong for a long time, it is normal for him to be unfamiliar with the organizational structure of the Mongols opposite. However, Liu Han, as a general, will not be dissatisfied.

I know.

When Yu Dayou deliberately concealed it, when he talked about Altan's troops mobilizing troops to intercept it, Liu Han didn't seem to have thought that Altan Khan could also draw guards from him to intercept this.

After he came down, Yu Dayou was a little suspicious that Liu Han, as the general officer of Datong, should not be so stupid, but since he didn't speak out, he must have his intention, but he just didn't know the purpose.

However, for such a thing, it is nothing more than profit.

In Yu Dayou's speculation, perhaps supporting the sneak attack on Bancheng may be a huge opportunity for Liu Han.

Liu Han has been in Datong for twenty years, from command to commander. If he had no great contribution, he should have stopped in his life. If he wanted to be promoted from second to first level, he would definitely not have a great military achievement.

It may be crossed.

Yes, what Yu Dayou guessed was that Liu Han had been the deputy governor for many years, and now he was probably looking at the governor and the general.

As for the higher level left and right governors, Liu Han probably didn't dare to think about it himself.

The leap from the second grade to the first grade seems simple but is actually extremely difficult.

As for actual positions, well, the general officer of Datong is now at the top of the military generals. There is no way to be promoted. At most, he will be transferred to Jizhen to help the emperor guard the door.

As for returning to the capital and returning to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, normal people would not be willing to go. Go to a yamen with almost powerless power, which is only suitable for the lives of nobles.

Datong attacked Altan's troops many times, but they were all small fuss. Altan Khan made a big move several times, obviously all of them were aimed at Xuanfu and Jizhen. After all, it was closer to the capital, and it was against the court.

The shock is even greater.

Perhaps, in Liu Han's view, if the sneak attack on the board and promoted to the city successfully, his official position should be promoted to another level.

Yu Dayou thought so, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he looked at the slowly moving forward in front of him.

The three thousand horses brought out are now divided into three groups, namely the Thousand Cavalry led by the gang general Ma Lu and the Thousand Cavalry led by the guerrilla Xu Qin. These two teams of cavalry were used by Yu Dayou to intercept Altan's pursuers, and the remaining Thousands of people were left.

Then they drove away the stolen cattle and sheep and the spoils.

As for why Yu Dayou refused to let the soldiers give up these seizures, and ran to Datong with no life, ordering him to do so, but he did not guarantee whether his subordinates would obey his orders.

This time I went to the city to enter the city, and I would indeed receive a reward after I went back, but how many rewards would fall on the people below?

For these three thousand soldiers, if you want to give up the capture of the desperate battle, can you exchange things for it?

Just by opening his mouth, he said that there would be rewards when he returned to the pass, and Yu Dayou did not guarantee whether he would encounter an accident on the battlefield after giving the order.

Seeing these soldiers' hot eyes revealed by the rich spoils, he knew that such orders could not be given.

It is not a false statement that people die for money and birds die for food.

As a general and an official for many years, Yu Dayou naturally knew that he really had no money to make money in the army these days, and it would be great if he could barely make a living.

Only when encountering such a war will we look forward to the rewards from the court, but we don’t know that it will be approved and transported to the year of the Monkey and Horse. There are countless hands that need to be reached in and paid for the silver.

For the soldiers, the rewards were too illusory, so they focused more on these goods in front of them.

Officials can get more money, but they can't miss their share.

Interest is the main reason why these people are willing to work hard.

For generals and officials, the future is indispensable and the silver. For soldiers, the future is nothing more than the military leader. All they want is the same, that is the silver.

Although he was worried, Yu Dayou could only retreat with the stolen property, even if he took risks.

"General, there is the Hui River in front of us. Our whistle cavalry has already met with General Liu's men, and the floating bridge has been set up."

At this time, a war horse ran up ahead and immediately explored the horse to report to Yu Dayou.

"Okay, please inform all departments to speed up the river."

Yu Dayou ordered loudly, and then urged the horse to run forward.

For the Ming army, who had experienced a victory, they wanted both the things on the cattle and horses and the lives they wanted to save their lives. Yu Dayou was worried that there would be crowding when crossing the river, which would affect the army's crossing the river.

He had to rush to the pontoon bridge first to shock the soldiers.

The result of Bansheng City this time was actually very great. Not only did he completely destroy Bansheng City, but he almost wiped out the defenders in the city.

But one thing is that the result is really miserable.

Most people were burned to death in private houses. Without a head, the court would not admit it, and no decent prisoners were caught.

Eighty-three heads were captured and 67 people were captured alive. Li Zixin, the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect, and Zhao Quan was lucky enough to save his life. Li Zixin's mother, Hu, and his younger brother Li Ziquan was captured alive by the Ming army. Another younger brother, Li Zixian, was beheaded and seized the Mongolians.

There are hundreds of cattle and horses, as well as a large number of ordnances.

This is what Yu Dayou's troops can hand over to the court now, and the gains of this battle.

Thinking of this, Yu Dayou was very regretful. It would be great if he could catch Li Zixin, and this battle to go out to the frontier would be considered a perfect end.

You know, Li Zixin is also a person named in the Ming court and is of great value.

I thought to myself that it was a pity, but my progress was not slow. I soon arrived by the Hui River and met with Liu Han, the general officer of Datong by the river.

Liu Han had already learned the results of the battle from Yu Dayou's post cavalry. The fire in Bansheng City should still be burning, and only a few people escaped in the city, and most of them were annihilated.

Liu Han was already overjoyed about such a result.

With this result, this risky move is not in vain. At least there are sufficient reasons to respond to possible questions from Xuanfu and the capital.

When I saw Yu Dayou and the captive team of cattle and horses coming from behind him, I felt even more wonderful.

"Dayou, this battle was fought well. When you go back to report to the court, you will be the first contribution."

When Liu Han saw Yu Dayou, his first words were to lift Yu Dayou up first. However, according to the rules of the court, even if he and Li Wenjin's contributions were not as good as the book of credit, the court would not forget them.

"It's all Lord Liu and Governor Ma who commanded it properly. I'll pay some credit for not being worth mentioning. If you have the help of the general, I'll protect it."

During the greetings with Liu Han, Yu Dayou told him about the capture of this battle. Liu Han couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he knew that he could not capture the people who were named by the court, but it was a big victory in the end.

Destroying Banshengcheng and burning Altan Khan's palace was the greatest achievement of this battle.

In the following days, Yu Dayou's three thousand men and two thousand cavalry led by Liu Han met. Now he has 4,000 troops to fight. Yu Dayou's courage has become much stronger and he is no longer so worried about his journey back to Datong.

Finally, on the third day after the meeting with Liu Han, the army approached Heihe, where the three thousand horse infantry led by Li Wenjin were supported. After the meeting, all the troops of the Ming army from the frontier gathered here, and the eight thousand troops were on the side, so it was finally considered

It's safe.

"Keep the formation, listen to the command of the team officer behind him, and those who are dissatisfied will pull them out and whip them."

At this time, Yu Dayou and Liu Han had already arrived in Heihe. Liu Han first crossed the river and met with Li Wen, the governor of Datong, and reported on the gains of attacking Banshengcheng. Yu Dayou stayed on the other side of the Heihe River and arranged an army to cross the river.

Just like crossing the Gray River before, the soldiers naturally rush to cross the river earlier.

After all, every step forward means that you are one step closer to Datong and your own capital and life are safer.

More than a dozen horse exploration trips a day were reported, but Altan Khan's army was not chasing or intercepting him, but Yu Dayou still did not dare to neglect at all and insisted on spreading a large number of horse exploration around to investigate.

The transportation brigade guarded by Thousand Cavalry is still the priority of crossing the river. Four Thousand Cavalry teams on the other side of the river are ready to cross the river at any time.

As the transport team completely crossed the river, four thousand cavalry brigades began to cross the river one by one. Yu Dayou looked up at him from the side of the river. No one dared to act rashly. They all crossed the river in line, and the speed was not slow.

After three thousand people, Yu Dayou led his own soldiers across the river. Then the thousand cavalry teams crossed the river one by one, and finally destroyed the floating bridge to prevent them from being exploited by Altan's pursuers.

After meeting with Li Wenjin and Liu Han, the eight thousand Ming troops continued to retreat south.

When they went out of the frontier, they were walking in Datong Youwei Shahu Fort, and their return journey was no exception because it was closest to them.

Now that Li Wenjin Biao Battalion has joined, the speed of travel has slowed down slightly. According to the current situation, it will take at least three days to reach the Shahu Fort.

It takes only three days to enter the Great Wall, and it will be safe at that time.

The three thousand cavalrymen who followed Yu Dayou to expedition Bansheng City were already trapped. They were no longer as busy as the men led by Liu Han and Li Wenjin. They could rest in Heihe and Huihe. If they were not in the sphere of influence of the Mongols, they could go out to the field.

There is no difference in traveling.

But by this time, it seems that the Ming army's good luck has been used up.

After crossing the Heihe River for half a day, he saw a horse exploring his horse in the distance and rushing back, rushing towards Yu Dayou, who was hiding in the army in the court.
