[Chapter 515] The east wind blows, the war drums beat, who is afraid of who in this world! (3)

(0515)

A nobleman named Saqironggui said casually: "Gui Yingcha, you are too worried. Even if Mo Rigen didn't think of us before, it's not too late to think of us now. Anyway, what we have to deal with is Xu Xingxia. Our goals are the same, and we are sending troops now, it's not too late. He is asking for help now, does not seem to be more important to us?"

Guiyingcha frowned and said, "I'm worried that we were taken advantage of by Mo Rigen. He might have fought with the white-clothed army, but the situation was very unfavorable, so he remembered to ask for help from us. If we go rashly, not only can we not attack Xu Xingxia, but we might also be subjected to Xu Xingxia's plot. Everyone, we set out from Guihua City and head to Ningxia Town, but it's thousands of miles away! What if there is any accident on the way, wouldn't we be in trouble?"

Sa Qironggui said disapprovingly: "What's the trouble with this? I dare say that the main force of the White-Clothed Army must be fighting Mo Rigen with all their might. Mo Rigen went south this time, with a total of 50,000 people, and a flank cover force. How many White-Clothed Army people are? If they don't deploy the entire army, it will be impossible to fight Mo Rigen."

Gui Yingcha frowned and said, "The problem now is not how many white-clothed troops are, but how many muskets they have. The musketeers of the white-clothed troops do not need much training to go to the battlefield. Even if we set out from Guihua City and Xu Xingxia learned the news, he had enough time to prepare. As long as he gathered the strong men and everyone was equipped with muskets, we would not be able to conquer Zhenyuan Pass at all."

Saqironggui was also a powerful general of the *** people, and his reputation was only after Taichiwu. The two had a good relationship and often discussed combat skills together. After Taichiwu died in battle, he kept trying to avenge Taichiwu. This time, Lin Danhan tried to send troops to Ningxia Town, and he absolutely agreed. He swore that after arriving in Ningxia Town, he must turn it into a piece of white land to pay tribute to Taichiwu's spirit in the sky. However, Guiyingcha opposed sending troops, and he was immediately angry.

In the midst of great flames, Sa Qironggui couldn't help but curse: "Gui Yingcha, are you scared by Han Dogs? If you don't dare to go to the battlefield, you will be responsible for guarding Guihua City."

Guiyingcha immediately became angry and pointed at Sa Qironggui and scolded: "Do you have the will to say it again?"

Saqironggui said angrily: "Am I wrong? We all agree with sending troops, only you oppose it. What is it that you are not a timid war? King Khan, I firmly demand to go to war! I want to step on Ningxia Town to the ground! Those who dare not go will hide behind and hold the children!"

Guiyingcha and Saqironggui quarreled, and the other nobles were thinking secretly. Generally speaking, they were all inclined to send troops. This was indeed a good opportunity to send troops. If Mo Rigen occupied Ningxia Town, there would be no one else. It is even possible that after Mo Rigen occupied Ningxia Town, he would continue to occupy Bayannur grassland, posing a fatal threat to the west side of the people. Mo Rigen is still very sinister.

However, Gui Yingcha's words did point out the key points. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can detect something wrong. If Mo Rigen had not suffered a great loss in Xu Xingxia's hands, with his personality, how could he suddenly remember to invite Lin Danhan to attack Ningxia Town? A piece of fat meat you are optimistic about, if there is no accident, would you be willing to give it to others?

Lin Danhan reached out and asked Guiyingcha and Saqironggui not to continue arguing, and said in a deep voice: "That Risong, go and ask them when they set out? Where did they start? In addition, ask them cleverly if they are in trouble during the attack?"

That Risong agreed to go. After a moment, he came back and said, "A Duosu said that they set out from Ganzhou City. As soon as the Tatars took Ganzhou City, they set out with Mo Rigen's handwritten letter. Because they were obstructed by the white-clothed cavalry along the way, they spent a long time on the road before they came here."

After pausing slightly, Na Risong said again: "A Duosu said that they did encounter some difficulties when attacking Gansu Town. However, these difficulties were not in combat. They came from other aspects. Among them, the biggest difficulty was insufficient food. He privately admitted that Mo Rigen did hope to obtain some food subsidies from us. He was worried that Xu Xingxia would destroy everything in Ningxia Town when he was furious. The White Army was very thorough in implementing this. I guess everyone can understand this."

Lin Danhan nodded slowly without a doubt. Indeed, Mo Rigen's concern makes sense. If Xu Xingxia is really angry and desperate, she will really destroy everything in Ningxia Town. Perhaps others can't do it, but Xu Xingxia can definitely do it. They have fought with Xu Xingxia and know that he is a guy that is difficult to deal with. Most of these guys are a bit psychopathic. When the situation is unfavorable, the tendency to self-destruct is very serious.

Mo Rigen reserved a hand to prevent accidents from happening. After all, if there is not enough food in the army, it will be more troublesome. In his handwritten letter, he indeed mentioned that the biggest trouble was food. Lin Danhan had just obtained a lot of food from the Ming Dynasty, which came in handy.

Guiyingcha subconsciously felt something was wrong. However, it was impossible to say that the other nobles completely believed such reasons. They could not imagine that Mo Rigen had a reason to deceive them. With Mo Rigen's identity, there seemed to be no need to deceive them. After all, others were also quite people, and their reputation was not inferior to Lin Danhan.

Na Risong finally concluded: "In any case, Mo Rigen dragged Xu Xingxia's main force in Gansu Town, which is very beneficial to us. This record is fleeting, and if we don't catch it immediately, we may miss it. If we take the Ningxia Town first, Mo Rigen will probably have nothing to say."

Everyone else nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Na Risong's statement. Yes, with Mo Rigen dragging Xu Xingxia, the chance of success of the *** people attacking Ningxia Town this time must be much greater than last time. If the *** people succeed in one fell swoop, Xu Xingxia will be completely finished.

Due to the long journey and the difficulty of conveying the message, no one in Guihua City knew that Mo Rigen had evacuated Gansu Town and was preparing to cross the Tengger Desert and set out towards Zhenyuan Pass. They also thought that the battle in Gansu Town was still going on. Since the battle was still going on, the main force of the White-Clothed Army must be in the territory of Gansu Town and it is impossible to return to Ningxia Town.

In recent years, the name of the arrow god Mo Rigen is indeed quite intimidating. All the nobles present, including Gui Yingcha, believed that the battle between Mo Rigen and the White-Clothed Army would definitely contain the main force of the White-Clothed Army in Gansu Town. What Gui Yingcha was worried about was the combat effectiveness of the White-Clothed Army's follow-up troops or the reserve troops.

The combat effectiveness of the troops under Mo Rigen's command was completely different from that of the Ming army. When Xu Xingxia dared to transfer all the main forces on the southern front to the grassland, he saw that the Ming army on the southern front was not afraid to continue attacking. However, in front of Mo Rigen, Xu Xingxia would never dare to do this. Facing Mo Rigen's tens of thousands of troops, if Xu Xingxia did not dispatch more than 15,000 troops, it would be impossible to stop them. Ten thousand people were definitely the main force of the White Army.

In other words, after all the main forces were dispatched to Gansu Town, Xu Xingxia had no more troops. The troops in Ningxia Town were absolutely empty. Faced with the attack of the *** people, the only thing the white-clothed army could do was to mobilize the strong men to participate in the war. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the strong men could not be as strong as the main force. Therefore, even if Zhenyuan Pass was a bit difficult, it could be taken down as long as it paid a certain price. Mo Rigen has mentioned that he would send people to help open the city gate of Zhenyuan Pass. The *** Pass was responsible for breaking into Ningxia Town to burn, kill and loot.

"That Risong, order the second echelon to set off!" Lin Danhan said in a deep voice.

"Get order!" Na Risong immediately went excited.

"Saqironggui, you are the striker of the second tier." Lin Danhan said again.

"Get orders!" Sa Qironggui also went excitedly.

Guiying was about to speak but stopped. Seeing Lin Danhan's spirits and began to arrange troops in full spirit, he always felt that this matter was not that simple. However, for a moment, he could not find an unusual place. Since Lin Danhan had made up his mind, he had to cheer up and take the personal guards and cavalry to set off with Lin Danhan.

In mid-November, Lin Danhan's army set out from Guihua City and advanced westward. In addition to the vanguard troops, this time, Lin Danhan dispatched more than 50,000 troops. It can almost be said that they were in full swing. The new battle began again.

...

When Lin Danhan convened his confidants to discuss matters, Xu Xingxia was also convening his confidants to hold a military meeting. The location of the meeting was in the Heishan Camp. As the situation in the north gradually became tense, Xu Xingxia began to command the Heishan Camp. All the main forces of the White-Clothed Army gathered in the Heishan Camp one after another. However, in order to keep the secret and to confuse Lin Danhan, strict vigilance was implemented around the Heishan Camp's military camp, and they all claimed to be training for new recruits.

At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Qinian will first report the relevant situation. Wang Qinian said in an orderly manner: "According to the front line observation of Xuanying Guard, Lin Danhan's vanguard troops had left Guihua City in early November. It was a full 10,000 team, composed of 12 10,000 teams. It is estimated that its total strength is about 15,000 people."

"Lin Danhan's follow-up troops should be about fifty thousand-man teams, with a total force of about sixty thousand people. In addition to these sixty thousand people, there are some slaves carrying simple siege weapons. Because the protection of the *** people is very strict, it is not possible to know what kind of siege weapons it is. According to speculation, it should be Huihuans. The number may be about fifty."

Hearing this, all the members of the Military Commission who attended the meeting looked a little serious. Lin Danhan came out all over. It was not surprising that he actually brought Huihui cannons. From this, it can be seen that this guy was determined to deal with Zhenyuan Pass. He really thought that the white-clothed army was easy to bully. Dozens of Huihui cannons dared to attack Zhenyuan Pass.

Wang Qinian continued: "In addition, there is a special information that needs to be informed. The Halashen tribe, the *** tribe, also sent 20 thousand-person teams to the battle, with a total force of about 25,000 people. The leader was Aisgen, the eldest son of the Khan of the Halashen tribe. It is said that this kid knows how to fight, and Lin Danhan also attaches great importance to him."

Zhang Tianhao frowned and said, "It turns out that he was mingling with the people from the court."

The so-called Halashen tribe is actually the Duoyan guards of the original Duoyan guards. Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, conquered the desert and set up the Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu guards in the north and south of the vast desert, with the purpose of differentiating the internal forces of the *** people. In the following decades, the relationship between the Duoyan guards and the Ming court has always been good. However, as the strength of the Ming court continued to weaken, the Duoyan guards began to sway and often escaped from the control of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the closest to the Ming Dynasty was the Duoyanwei, which is the current Halashen tribe. In the past, the Halashen tribe rarely participated in battles and struggles, and lived in obscurity. Now, even the Duoyanwei sent troops to the war, which can only explain two problems. Either the court did join forces with Lin Danhan. Or, the Duoyanwei was completely out of control. If it was the second one, the problem would not be big. If it was the first one, the problem would be serious.

The court and Lin Danhan joined forces, which was not much news. The key point is that the court actually wanted to kill people with a knife. Even if it was not the intention of Emperor Wanli, someone must be making trouble behind the scenes. The targets they killed were not only Xu Xingxia, but also Lin Danhan and Halashen tribes. No matter who died, the Ming Dynasty was the one who took advantage of these three people. If they were both injured or died together, that would be even better. It has to be said that the plot of the people in the court was indeed too powerful. It was very sinister to kill three birds with one stone.

Xia Kewu said intentionally or unintentionally: "If Mo Rigen also came to get a kick and meet Lin Danhan, then Ningxia Town would be really lively..."

Wang Qinian was about to speak when the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, but an owl came in quietly. He handed a piece of information to Wang Qinian. After Wang Qinian read it, he handed it to Xu Xingxia. After Xu Xingxia finished reading the information, he handed it back to Wang Qinian. He looked at Xia Kewu and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you guessed that Mo Rigen's vanguard troops had already passed through the Tengger Desert and appeared in Zhenyuan Pass."

Xia Kewu's expression suddenly froze. The expressions of the other committee members were also a little strange. Look at me, and I look at you, and they all felt very strange. Xia Kewu talked so casually that he actually guessed Mo Rigen's whereabouts?

Liu Heng frowned and said, "This Mo Rigen is so fast."

Zhang Feng was able to see it openly and said with a smile: "The Tatars must pay a little price to travel through the Tengger Desert. Even if they don't die, they will have to lose their skin."

Gao Meng looked at Lin Dacheng next to him and said happily: "This time, it's lively near Zhenyuan Pass. Lao Lin, you are so brave."

Lin Dacheng, who was responsible for guarding Zhenyuan Pass, said in a muffled voice: "I am not afraid. No matter how many people come, I dare to bombard him with cannons if they dare to come. I have never seen its power with my eyes the latest equipment of red cannons."

Xu Xingxia said decisively: "Let's go! Let's go to Zhenyuan Pass!"
