In March, the green grassland gradually appeared, and yellow dust rose. A group of cavalry whistled by. The cavalry were disheveled and their hair was disheveled, and many of them had scars on their faces and bodies. They looked very embarrassed, like a group of defeated soldiers fleeing in panic.

"Sir," a cavalryman with blood stains on his face pointed ahead and shouted excitedly: "Water, water..."

The general who was talking about was disheveled, and the golden mountain armor on his body was also cracked. He looked in the direction pointed by the cavalry. Sure enough, a shimmering scene appeared on the horizon in the distance, like a big lake.

The cavalrymen didn't know how far they had fled. They were already exhausted. Many of them had chapped lips. When they heard that there was water in front of them, they suddenly felt energetic and ran wildly.

They rushed to the lake like crazy, and many people jumped off the horse's back in a hurry - no, what's more accurate is that they fell off the horse's back, rolled and crawled with their hands and feet, and plunged into the lake water, and drank a gulp.

As soon as they raised their faces from the water, a sound of breaking through the air sounded from their ears. The pupils shrank, and before they could shout, they could hear the sound of "Puff--" the sharp weapon entering the flesh.

A rain of arrows instantly nailed a large area of ​​cavalry drinking water by the lake. Blood gushed out of the arrow's wound, dyeing the lake water into a heart-pounding red.

"Sir General!" Several cavalrymen set up the general and helped him onto the horse.

When the remaining people left the lake, the sound of horse hooves and countless agile figures sounded from all directions.

"No, the Tartars are surrounding him," a burly general shouted: "Hurry up and protect the general and rushed south!"

The group of cavalry turned around and collided with the grassland knights surrounding him. After a fight, only a few broke through the siege and rushed south, but the grassland knights did not want to let them go and chased them closely behind.

The general, known as the General, lay on the horse's back, his arms tightly hugged the horse's neck, his face pressed against the horse's mane, his eyes closed, and the wind roared in his ears. Suddenly, he felt his throat tightening, and his whole body flew away from the horse's back like a kite, and then fell heavily to the ground. When he got up with horror, countless horses surrounded him.

The knight immediately looked at him with a playful look, as if he was admiring a caught prey.

"General Zhu, don't be fine!" was the voice of a woman.

The general squinted his eyes and looked at it. The figure in front of him was graceful and looked very pretty, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The woman smiled at him and ordered her to follow her, "Come on, bring this General Zhu back to me."

Before the general was relieved, his throat tightened again, and he dragged him to the ground with a strong force and slid forward against the grass. It turned out that he was surrounded by a mascot and dragged forward by a horse. The knights burst into laughter.

Not long after, the general lost consciousness and was dying.

A burly knight jumped off his horse, pulled out his saber and was about to chop it.

"Slow!" The woman stopped him.

"Princess," said the burly knight to the woman: "What are you still keeping him for? I'll be able to cut it off with one knife!"

"What's the hurry?" The woman glanced at the south, "It's not too late to take the Xuan Mansion and then take action against him."

"Does the princess want him to make money open the Xuanfu gate?" The burly knight disagreed. "The Ming army in Xuanfu has been wiped out. Who else in the city dares to resist the Grand Tutor? As long as you stop the army, the people inside have to open the city gate obediently."

The woman didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly.

The burly knight had to put away his knife and kick the general on the butt, "Today I'm going to be a bargain. I'll get you done well after entering Xuanfu.

"

————————————

On the official road, a Ming army was moving quickly towards the northwest. While the front line, a cavalry rushed over, and the cavalry came to the commander's flag and jumped down, and replied to a young general with a handsome appearance: "Sir, you will reach Xuanfu in the future in fifty miles."

The general was Yang Muyun. He nodded and ordered a messenger beside him to say, "Send the order and speed up the marching. Be sure to arrive at Xuanfu before dark."

"Yes!" The messenger went away.

Looking at Yang Muyun's solemn expression, Lin Meier couldn't help but say, "Is there anything wrong? Look at your nervous look."

Yang Muyun smiled, "Maybe he's about to arrive at his destination, he's a little excited."

"Oh?" Lin Meier blinked, "Are you afraid of what's going on there? No, if so, Tanma would have reported it to you."

"Wouldn't it be better if you don't have anything to do," said Yang Muyun: "This way you can return to Beijing safely by inspecting it."

"Mu Yun," Lin Meier glanced at the mountains on both sides of the official road and sighed softly: "Do you still remember that back then? When she returned to Beijing, she was separated from the veteran General Yang Hongyang. He invited you to Xuanfu at that time, but you declined."

"Well," Yang Muyun nodded, "Old General Yang is both wise and brave. In the battle of the grassland, he and Lord Yu brought Xuan Da's troops back to the pass. With him in Xuanfu, the defense here can rest assured."

"But he was ordered to retire," Lin Meier said: "I really can't figure it out. Although General Yang is old, he is still stronger and more familiar with border affairs. When he is employed, how could he force him to return to his hometown to support his elderly care?"

"Don't you understand?" Yang Muyun's eyes flashed, "In fact, it's easy to explain. General Yang has been very close to Lord Yu. Now that the Chief Auxiliary is in power, he will naturally have to take action against General Yang," he said, "It's not a good thing to change generals based on others!"

"So you are worried and lead your army to inspect the Xuanfu?" Lin Meier said: "Zhu Qian, the general of Xuanfu, is Chen Xun's person, and may not take you, the Minister of War, seriously."

"As long as he can bear the great responsibility, why bother to worry too much about anything else?" Yang Muyun said: "This General Zhu is unwilling to be lonely. He repeatedly attacks, and he may cause a big fuss."

"Although the people have changed, the soldiers and generals below were brought out by Old General Yang," Lin Meier said: "There are 10,000 elite soldiers in Xuanfu Town, and the garrison should be enough."

"Yes, as long as the dispatch is properly, there will be no problem," Yang Muyun looked ahead, "I'm just afraid..." shook his head and didn't say anything further.

"Mu Yun, it's okay," Lin Meier comforted him, "Don't think too much."

"I hope..." Yang Muyun's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at Mo Buyu and asked, "Where is Pedro?"

"He," Mo Buyu shook his huge head and said, "The musketeers from the Shenji Camp are training behind the team! Teach them how to use musketeers immediately!"

"Use the musket immediately?" Yang Muyun shook his head, "You go over and tell him to follow him quickly, and then train the soldiers of the Shenji Camp after entering Xuanfu!"

"Yes!" Mo Bu turned his head and left.

"That barbarian is really strange," Lin Meier couldn't help saying: "The horse's back is very bumpy, so how can I use the musket? He is so whimsical."

"But the muskets he brought from the West shoot farther, more accurately and more convenient to operate than those of our Ming Dynasty," Yang Muyun said: "Maybe there is really some special tactics!"

......

The sky gradually darkened, and when I turned over a foot of a mountain, I suddenly felt

The cavalry in the bright military uniform passed by.

"Stop them." Yang Muyun ordered.

The vanguard cavalry quickly intercepted them and brought them to Yang Muyun.

"Whose subordinates are you?" Yang Muyun stared at them and asked, "Why are you running at this time?"

The cavalry looked at each other, and one of them said, "Sir, we are under General Zhu. General Zhu leads his army to triumph. We will return to the city to report the good news first."

"Oh?" Yang Muyun raised his eyebrows, "General Zhu won the battle again?"

"Yes, sir," another man rushed to say, "General Zhu fought a big victory outside his mouth, killing thousands of people! He has captured countless cattle and sheep, and is now on his way back to the city."

"Well...that's a big joy." Yang Muyun nodded and said.

"Sir, you are..." asked by one person looking at Yang Muyun.

"Oh, I am here to patrol the border," Yang Muyun turned his eyes and said, "General Zhu made great contributions, and I should celebrate him. Let's go, and you will follow me back to Xuanfu!"

"Sir," another laughed, "Since I met the adult here, the villain should report it to the general. I don't know the name of the adult and the position of the official position, and I hope to inform you."

"There is no need," Yang Muyun curled his lips, "You will go back to Xuanfu to welcome General Hou with me, so there is no need to ask about anything else."

These people looked at each other and stopped talking.

The army was moving all the way. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to Xuanfu, one of the cavalrymen stopped by Yang Muyun suddenly collided with a three thousand battalion of cavalry surrounding him. The cavalry's horse was shocked and the array was in chaos. Several people rushed out immediately. Under the darkening night, they didn't rush far away, but they heard a few screams and fell off their horses.

At this time, Lin Meier led a team of cavalry back to Yang Muyun.

"All those who escaped were robbed and killed, and no one ran away." Lin Meier said to Yang Muyun.

"Very good," a sharp look flashed in Yang Muyun's eyes, "It seems that I will not be destined to spend it safely tonight."

"How could Mu Yun know that they have a problem?" Lin Meier asked.

Yang Muyun smiled softly, "Although they changed into the costumes of Xuanfu soldiers, they did not change the boots on their feet. The leather boots of the grassland people on their feet revealed their identities, otherwise they would have really been confused!"

"Mu Yun is very impressed by me," Lin Meier praised, and then said, "What should I do next?"

Yang Muyun's face turned solemn, "It can be seen that Zhu Qian's army should be wiped out. The next goal of the Tatars is to capture Xuanfu. Maybe they have arrived at Xuanfu City. Without further ado, we have to enter Xuanfu quickly and arrange defense."

————————————

It was very quiet at night. Under the bright moonlight, a cavalry team of thousands of people drove to Xuanfu City.

"The General is here, open the city gate!" The first person shouted loudly.

The torches on the city gate tower shook a few times. The heavy city gate opened with a rumble.

A general with a helmet and armor ordered his left and right, "Take a small team of people to control the city gate, and the rest follow me to rush in."

These thousands of cavalrymen rushed into the city and spread out along the streets inside.

But everything was quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little strange. The general who took the lead in rushed in tightened his heart. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly the fire on both sides of the road soared into the sky, and countless arrows shot towards them.
