After learning the news that Gubeikou Pass City had been captured, the Beiyuan Army ambushing not far outside the pass was overjoyed. Beiyuan Zhiyuan immediately sent his capable general Batu and 20,000 cavalry to follow up and recapture most of the capital.

Revive the beautiful fantasy of Dayuan and launch an assault on Peiping overnight.

However, when Batu came to a place more than ten miles away from Gubeikou, the sentry brought five soldiers who were tied to horses, naked, and claimed to be one of their own. Of course,

The way they dress is certainly not fashionable. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that they are prisoners who have been released.

Batu didn't have time to worry about why these people came back naked. He just wanted to know what happened at Gubeikou. When he asked carefully, he learned that Gubeikou had been taken back by the Southerners.

The five soldiers recounted their experiences with great grievance, cursing the shamelessness of the southerners, because those southerners pretended to be defeated Mongolian soldiers, deceived the city into opening, then swarmed into the city and attacked the defenders with firearms.

The defenders originally had only about 500 men, but soon more than half of them were killed or wounded, their fighting spirit was completely lost, and they finally had to surrender.

The five soldiers didn't just complain about their futility, they also brought back a piece of news: when the Southerners entered Guancheng, they brought dozens of artillery pieces in and they had already set them up on the top of the city.

"Dozens of artillery!" Batu was dumbfounded when he heard the news and asked anxiously: "What kind of artillery are they?"

As soon as the five soldiers described it, Batu was even more horrified, because he learned that the Peking army was not using ordinary small artillery, but real cannons, large-caliber artillery that was one foot long and weighed several thousand kilograms. It exploded with one blast.

The kind that sucks a lot.

"Where are Mahatma's troops? Did they hit Beiping City?" Batu asked after calming down. Although he was afraid of the power of artillery, he still would not give up the revival campaign in the face of this small difficulty.

It is Yuan's beautiful dream. If the advance troops have entered the pass, then he will seize the Gubeikou Pass even if he piles them up with people.

"It's best to grab those dozens of cannons. There are so many big guys lined up outside the city of Beiping, and everyone in the city is a fan." Batu was imagining the beauty of using big cannons to attack the city everywhere.

However, his fantasy was soon shattered. The five soldiers told him that the advance army was ambushed by the southerners and was either killed or captured. It had been defeated.

"Ah!" Batu was shocked when he heard the news: an elite army of 4,000 people was defeated in just a few hours. How long can he fight with the 20,000 troops he has? How long can he fight?

It's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Peking Army has already prepared. Even if they invade in a large scale, they may end up being ambushed.

A sneak attack failed, and a strong attack would only bring unnecessary losses. Although Batu did not read, he was not stupid, and he still understood the principle of knowing yourself and the enemy. While he ordered the army to station on the spot, he sent out sentries to explore the formation. Soon,

The sentry officer reported back that the Gubeikou Pass was filled with Black Dragon flags. This shows that there were at least several thousand troops stationed in the Gubeikou Pass.

The battle situation suddenly changed, and Batu naturally did not dare to make any decisions on his own, so he immediately sent someone to inform Guilichi who was stationed at the rear. Whether to fight or retreat, he had to wait for his superiors to make a decision.

Gui Lichi, who was sitting in the rear, also stayed up all night, waiting for the news of the capture of Peiping to come back. However, after waiting for a long time, he got the news that the advance army was ambushed and the whole army was gone. In addition, there was another problem.

:The Peking Army has reoccupied Gubeikou. Will they continue to fight against the Peking Army?

Seeing this battle report, Gui Lichi felt like he had been fooled, and felt that he had been played a trick. As the actual leader of Beiyuan, Gui Lichi had a high IQ. On the one hand, he gave orders to Batu

, asked the army to withdraw more than ten miles and station it on the spot. On the other hand, it sent people to find the think tank and held a pre-war meeting.

After several hours of heated debate, most people believed that the Peking Army was already on guard and that any further use of troops would be useless and would only increase casualties. However, some people were more worried that they had already exchanged fire with the Peking Army.

To trade. If the urgently needed food and other materials cannot be obtained through trade, then the only way is to rob.

The Beiyuan army was noisy, but the Juyong Pass was quiet and peaceful. The five Beiyuan envoys who had been left to attend the banquet were already drunk and were sleeping in a daze, but they were woken up by someone.

If something serious happens, they need to deal with it immediately.

When the five envoys who were still sleepwalking arrived at the Chinese army's tent, they found a dozen tied-up people kneeling on the ground with steel knives hanging around their necks. Judging from the embarrassed looks on their faces, these

The prisoners were all subjected to severe torture.

However, the five envoys were still shocked. Not only were they drunk, but even their sleepiness was completely gone. Because they recognized at a glance that the leader of the captives was their superior, the cousin of the Mongolian Khan, Mahatma.

One of the bravest generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

"Dear envoys, do you know these people?" Zhao Quanjie asked before Wan Lei, who was sitting at the head, could ask.

This ambush battle at night was commanded by Zhao Quanjie. Thousands of troops cooperated with each other to intercept, ambush and deceive the city, annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop, and capturing more than a thousand enemies. It can be said that it was a victory, and it shattered the myth that the Mongolian cavalry was invincible.

.

"This..." The five messengers looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally they all shook their heads and said, "I don't know them."

"Don't you know? Do you really don't know them? These people insist that they were sent by your Great Khan to attack." Zhao Quanjie asked, his expression even more gloomy.

"This official has learned clearly that our Great Khan always values ​​integrity, so how can we send people to sneak attack? These people must be sent by the Duoyan Sanwei. The purpose is to alienate the relationship between Shuntian Mansion and our Beiyuan. You must not fall into this trap.

This is a treacherous plot to alienate people." One of the messengers argued, but his expression was even more panicked.

"Is it really not sent by your Great Khan?" Zhao Quanjie asked again.

"No, it's definitely not the case. You guys are guaranteeing it with the heads on your neck." The five envoys said hurriedly. Of course, the so-called guarantee with the heads is just talk. If the Peking Army determines that these people are sent by their Great Khan,

, their heads are even more precarious, because they send people for peace talks and sneak attacks at the same time. This move is really not very authentic. If they anger others, there will be no rules about the two armies not killing each other in battle.

.

"Since you say it's not true, I'll believe you for the time being. However, you should go back and tell your Khan immediately: If this happens again, don't blame our Peking Army for not paying attention to friendship." Wan Lei waved his hand and motioned to his subordinates.

Take these five messengers away.

In fact, Wan Lei came to find these five envoys not to hold Bei Yuan responsible for his breach of trust, but to make a big deal out of it. At the same time, he also wanted to let Bei Yuan know that the Peking Army is not easy to bully and there will be no conspiracy.

Eat the good fruit. Peace will benefit both sides, war will lead to both losses. Whether it is war or peace, Beiyuan should weigh it carefully.

The five envoys were taken out of the camp, and they all breathed out secretly, thinking: What a danger, what a danger! Just out of danger, the five envoys dared not stay for long, so they mounted their horses and fled Juyong Pass, going back to give

The master has sent a message.

After sending away these five fearful ghosts, Wan Lei stroked his forehead and asked his followers to go back and rest, because he knew that this conflict would not end here, and more difficult tests were still to come, so he had to keep up his energy.

, so as to cope with all possible situations.

"Brother Wan, do you think these Tatars still dare to send envoys?" Zhao Xueer followed Wan Lei and asked in a low voice.

"If they don't want to have enough food and clothes, they can cut off contact with us." Wan Lei smiled lightly, he was sure that Beiyuan would not break up with Shuntian Mansion.

"While negotiating a peace deal, you are sending people to sneak attacks. These Tatars are too abominable. How can you tolerate this tone?" Zhao Xueer said angrily again.

"The Peiping Army didn't suffer any losses, so they just treated it as a real combat exercise. What's there to be angry about? It's the Tatars who should be angry. They lost thousands of elite soldiers. If they steal a chicken but lose a handful of rice, they will lose a lot of money."

Already." Wan Lei shrugged, still looking as if the sky was falling and he was being covered by a quilt.

"Having said that, I just can't get angry. He says one thing openly but does another secretly. He is a despicable and shameless villain." Zhao Xueer still scolded angrily.
