It was the second day when Su Cheng opened his eyes.

Hu San was packing up his things. When he saw Su Cheng wake up, he handed over a piece of dry cake in his hand:

"Mr. Li left it for you, eat it."

Looking at the dry cakes that Hu San handed to him, Su Cheng took them and chewed them in small mouths.

According to his experience in the simulator, it was time to ring the outside. Guo Mao, the commander who had retreated from Mayukou, began to gather the left-wing Ming army to prepare for the attack of the Oirats.

"beep……"

The dull horns rang out in the camp.

In front of Tumu Fort, the Ming army formed a formation, the five military camps and the three thousand battalions were each in an array, and the Shenji camp was at the end.

Tumu Fort was besieged for several days, and the water source was cut off by the Oirats. Most of the Ming army had been cut off for two days. It was already the nobles of the governor who could form a formation.

In the back formation, the visionary officials had already started to move in secret.

Li Xian brought Hu San to win over Su Cheng:

"If you are broken today, I hope you can protect me and leave in Sucheng. If you can return to the capital in the future, I, Li Xian, will be rewarded."

Hu San also came over and said:

"Brother Cheng, we will help each other along the way, and we will definitely be able to protect Lord Li from returning to the capital."

Sucheng:...

It doesn't seem to work if you don't agree!

Su Cheng nodded, and saw Shi Jing passing by the three of them in his eyes, so he spoke loudly:

"Okay, the order is unknown now. Our army will inevitably collapse later. The Oirat light cavalry rushed forward. You must follow me and I guarantee you can survive."

As he said that, Su Cheng glanced at Shi Jing in the distance. His grandson was the prince-in-law, but if he wanted to follow me, you would also guarantee my promotion and wealth.

Hu San glanced at Su Cheng in surprise. Brother Su Cheng spoke so confidently.

Li Xian ignored anything else and tried to win over several times, and finally let Su Cheng move closer to him. That's all.

At this time, the Sun Basen of the Zuoye Army threw away his armor and rushed towards the river with a clamor. The entire Zuoye Army was led by him.

The familiar scenes are staged again.

Before the officers of the Youye Army where Sucheng was located returned, several deputy governors could not suppress the bullets, and there were constant noises and scolding, and the flags were in a mess, and the whole thing became messy.

The Ming army rushed to the Fifteen-li River ahead, and only the guards led by Guo Mao were strongly suppressed by Guo Mao and did not move for the time being.

Su Cheng glanced at the gray-haired veteran. The veteran was awkward, but unfortunately he followed an unreliable emperor.

Li Xian suddenly asked Su Cheng:

"Su Cheng, what do you want to say to Commander Guo?"

As he said that, Li Xian turned to the Guard Army, which had never been disorganized, and Hu San followed.

Su Cheng's face was slightly stunned. I have never had contact with Guo Mao?

Li Xian walked outside the military formation of the garrison. Guo Mao turned his horse's head and looked at Li Xian and his party in confusion:

"What advice does this adult have?"

Li Xian clasped his fists:

"Chief Guo is polite. I have no advice. But the warrior around me said something to Command Guo."

Su Cheng was stunned because of me?

But the next moment, hundreds of gazes looked at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng stepped forward and saluted Guo Mao:

"Elder General, our army's formation collapses in just a moment. I hope the old general will make plans."

After saying that, Su Cheng bowed to Guo Mao and retreated to Li Xian and Hu San.

Guo Mao looked at Su Cheng in surprise. Looking at his outfit, he said that this kid should be a soldier in the Beijing camp and a small soldier, but his vision is not bad, and he is a useful person.

Shaking his head, Guo Mao's tone was hoarse:

"Thank you for your reminder, brother, but I, Guo Mao, don't have the right to criticize the situation of the war now. Then I will drive you forward and fight hard. If the battle is not harmonious, I will only die."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng bowed to Guo Mao again, turned around, followed Li Xian and ran in another direction.

The drums shook the sky, and the iron hooves were heard.

In the slanting thorn, the Oirat light cavalry was like a torrent, cutting off the Ming army in half, with iron hooves flying and blood mud flying, and the Ming army was completely in chaos.

Sucheng led the way, and he was familiar with the road to avoid the front battlefield.

After avoiding three Oirats and two garrison sites, the group fled to the upper reaches of the Sanggan River and arrived at a temporarily safe place.

The civil servants who were so tired that they couldn't walk sat down, squatted by the river thirsty and drank water, and those who were not thirsty began to talk loudly.

"I want to leave Xuanfu, Yanghong Town..."

"Datong is safe. We will only be six or seven days after we leave Datong..."

...

Regarding the major matter of escape, civil officials expressed their opinions, spitting around and arguing endlessly.

Su Cheng took a few sips of water to relieve the hunger in his chest, sat down calmly, and relieved his body.

Hu San sat down next to Sucheng, lifted up the water and said while drinking:

"Brother Cheng, you guy has taken medicine this time. You can't see any chest tightness and panting when you run so far. Your small body can run even more than me."

Shi Jing, who was out of breath next to him, also echoed:

"Sucheng is powerful and deserves to be the elite of the Five Military Camps. He led us to easily avoid the Oirat people along the way, and even his physical strength is the best in the army."

Only then did Su Cheng realize that he seemed a little unnatural, and he could run a lot more than he used to.

Guo Mao's force seems to have a bit of a big bonus to himself.

He only increased Guo Mao's military power by one-tenth, which means that Guo Mao's military power is about 80. The veteran general has made great achievements and has killed countless enemies. Such veterans only have 80 military power. I don't know who are the ones with 90 or 100 military power.

However, my martial power is only 14 now, and I am separated from the unit number. I don’t know what level I am at now.

Hundred households, general banner, deputy thousand households, or other ones. Unfortunately, the Ming army did not divide military positions by force, otherwise they should be able to be promoted now.

The Sanggan River is surrounded by sand and stones, and the river is winding and flat. In the far downstream, you can already see shadows of people. The scattered defeated troops began to appear in this direction.

Thinking that he needed to ambush the enemy under the pass, Su Cheng interrupted the argument.

"The Oirats are chasing us. Since you are unable to reach unity, it is better to go your own way and live and die by yourself."

Li Xian was the first to stand up:

"Su Cheng is right. Since that's the case, sir, let's go our separate ways of life. If we continue to argue, we will die under the butcher knife of the Oirats."

There were both doctors from the Ministry of Personnel and official resident of the Ministry of Rites. Their grades were not much different, so naturally no one could impress the other. They discussed for a while.

Birds and beasts scattered.

The four of Sucheng set off on the road to the small pass again.

The road was rugged and difficult to walk, and the four of them were moving very slowly.

Although Shi Jing was born as a nobleman, after becoming a prince-consort, he was more pampered and had less physical strength.

Li Xian was born as a civil servant in Qinggui, and was even weaker. He had worn out his feet just now and was even slower.

Hu San couldn't bear it and repeatedly proposed to take a break.

The four of them crossed a mountain. At Hu San's suggestion, when he started to rest, the sun began to set westward and the sky began to darken.

Su Cheng stood at a high place and glanced closer to the left, trying to see where the Oirat soldiers who were stuck behind him were in the simulation.

The surrounding mountains are undulating and the terrain is rugged and difficult to move.

There is a few hundred steps away from the rest of the four people at the foot of the mountain. There is a winding path with a not-flat terrain. People should walk out. Although it is not wide, there should be no problem for a horse to walk slowly.

At the end of the road, there are a lot of people vaguely.

"We were adorned by the Oirats."

Su Cheng jumped off the ridge and spoke.

The three of them immediately stood up. Li Xian was quite calm, and Shi Jing and Hu San were already panicked.

Su Cheng looked at the three people:

"There are not many Oirats coming, about one or two hundred. I know that there are about three hundred guards in front of me. Now I must send people to you. If you can notify the generals, you will ambush these Oirats."

"We still have hope of living."

Li Xian and Shi Jing were both nobles. They finally escaped from Tumu Fort. This was the time to cherish their lives. When they heard this, their faces turned pale and they quickly expressed their approval.

"Okay, hurry up and notify the guard and get my official seal..."

Li Xian felt lonely in his arms. The official seal was far away in the capital. The talisman that could prove himself and mobilize the guards was still subject to Shi Jing.
