Niangzi Pass is a relatively famous pass on the Nine Borders, with three thousand permanent troops stationed.

Unfortunately, under the premeditated heavy troops raid of the enemy, especially less than half an hour after the battle started, hundreds of cavalry and horses suddenly came from behind, catching the general of Niangzi Pass off guard and insisting that the reinforcements could not arrive, the entire level was broken.

Overnight, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed directly into the territory of Da Chu from this level...

But what is strange is that the cavalry that successfully raided did not turn around and sneak attack the army in Zhenbei. Even the defeated soldiers at Niangzi Pass did not chase them, but went eastward with the galloping horses.

Their purpose seems to be clear.

The former General Army Office of Xuanfu has now become Qin Guanliang's temporary commander.

When he learned that a cavalry suddenly appeared behind his butt, the first sentence was: "I'll say that Wang Ziteng from this balloon is useless. The more than 200,000 elite border troops under his command actually put the Cossack cavalry in. What an incompetent fool!"

The generals under his command had to remind him friendly: "General, according to the spies' reward, this cavalry broke into the territory of Datong Prefecture..."

Well......

Qin Guanliang raised his head and asked in confusion: "Is this the case?"

The troops of Xuanfu and Datong are temporarily under his control...

The messenger beside him held his face and nodded.

"So that's the case. These little bastards can't even see a door. When I turned around, I told me which one was useless and lost the lock. I personally peeled him off!

Now, I will take people to destroy these little bastards first..."

Qin Guanliang said that he wanted to lead his troops to block the enemy's cavalry.

"General, let's wait. Our mission is to defend the gateway of the capital. What if the general goes there, Nagus, Kazhe and other troops lead troops to attack?"

A general advised.

"You know, these small tribes are all cowardly like soft-boys. If the balloon prince Teng didn't let me send troops, I would have led my troops into the royal court of Nagus, how could they have allowed them to wander under my nose?

However, if he doesn't let me send troops, I will not disobey. But after that, there is an enemy army, he can't have any reason to stop me, right?"

"But......"

"But what, but, can't you see that they are going to sneak attack our capital? If the capital is lost, how many of you will have enough brains?

Okay, at worst, I can take some soldiers there...

I will bring 30,000 troops there, and the remaining troops are enough to guard Xuanfu, right?”

When they heard this, the other generals breathed a sigh of relief. What they were afraid of was that this Qin Da Jiao fell into someone else's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

If he only brought 30,000 people to chase the cavalry, it would not have much impact on the overall situation.

"Since you have no objection, then you will decide like this. After I leave, all the big and small things in the army will obey General Xia's orders."

"yes."

Seeing that Qin Guanliang had decided, the generals had nothing to say.

Compared to Qin Da Lao Ku who came from the airborne and was full of swearing, they supported General Xia, who had been guarding the border for decades...

But they didn't know that the little Jiujiu in Qin Guanliang's heart was also very good:

This prince Teng was afraid that I would compete with him for credit, so he deliberately threw me here. He hadn't even seen a ghost of the enemy for half a year. Isn't this intention to tease people?

Now that the enemy's cavalry has finally passed by my nose, how could I miss this opportunity?

Well, although the 30,000 troops may be a little short, then when the time comes, the garrison troops will be transferred to Taiyuan and Chang'an City, and the troops will be less than enough.

As long as these little bastards are killed, it depends on what Wang Ziteng in his balloon has to say...

......

Not only Qin Guanliang aimed at this cavalry.

Wang Ziteng did not completely obey Jia Qing's intentions. He sent one of the few cavalry under his command to follow the place where the cavalry passed by and followed.

His purpose is very simple. Even if he cannot completely destroy this group of cavalry, he will definitely make them unable to sleep or eat and cannot fight the autumn wind around at will.

These cavalrymen who entered the Great Chu have been in the long run, and all their supplies are dependent on "fighting the autumn wind" and plundering the people...

This is something that Wang Ziteng does not allow.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he can only do this.

Jia Qing said it right, Yulin must not be in a mistake. Otherwise, if he was put into the main cavalry of Cossacks, then Wang Ziteng would have become a sinner for the ages and would never have a chance to turn things around.

Even the Great Chu is about to fall most of the time...

So, he sent an order to Qin Guanliang, ordering him to send a large army to plunder and wipe out the bandits.

If he knew that Qin Guanliang had already led 30,000 elite troops to set out before he received his order, he might have been very relieved. This old man finally thought of going with me...

......

During the war, private caravans were not allowed to pass on the main official roads of Dachu, and violators would be arrested and punished.

At this time, it can only be used to transport military supplies and communications.

The distance between the border and the capital is very long. Ordinary caravans often have to travel ten and a half months or even a month. Under the fast horses that are rushing to 800 miles, the news from the border can be delivered to the capital in just two or three days.

Another quick and urgent report is sent to the Daming Palace.

In Nanshu, Emperor Zhengqing has his ears all these days. The leaders of several yamen in the two pavilions and six ministries are also on standby all day and dare not slacken at all.

What a joke, over the past few ministers have been sent to death jail for misunderstandings...

Although many people privately argued that Emperor Zhengqing was taking the opportunity to eradicate He Shanbao's gangs, no one dared to say anything.

The Supreme Emperor has not shown up yet. He Shanbao, who was originally extremely united, has long been silent. Even He Shanbao himself has been in court these days.

The people of He Party knew that their "building was about to collapse".

It’s not that no one wanted to resist and declare Emperor Zhengqing’s “crime” to the world. But even the Queen Mother said that the Supreme Emperor was just frightened in the yard of the suburbs of Beijing, and her dragon body was in peace. She took care of these days...

In addition, the Russians suddenly changed their faces and invaded Da Chu. At this time, all the people who came out to provoke trouble were arrested by Emperor Zhengqing without hesitation on the charge of ulterior motives.

In this way, how could other people dare to act rashly?

"According to Li Xian, the guard of Longcheng Pass, the enemy's sudden attack on tens of thousands of cavalry, of which 10,000 vanguard troops had arrived at Longcheng Pass and launched a fierce attack on Longcheng Pass...

What do you guys think about this matter? Do you need to add troops to Longcheng Pass again?"

Emperor Zhengqing sat high behind the imperial desk and said with a calm expression.

No one came forward to impeach Wang Ziteng. Because Wang Ziteng had already given an exaggeration to Emperor Zhengqing before, explained the facts to Emperor Zhengqing and explained the great relationship.

In the Nanshufang that night, Wang Ziteng's political enemy advised him to escort Wang Ziteng, who was "debt" in Beijing to question him, and was furious and sent to death by Emperor Zhengqing...

From then on, everyone could see Emperor Zhengqing's trust in Wang Ziteng and his determination to fight.

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War said: "Your Majesty, you can't increase your troops anymore. The north and south camps of the capital originally had a total of 100,000 troops, but it has been transferred to only 30,000. Even if the Beijing camp and the imperial guards are added, the total number of troops in the capital is less than 100,000...

The soldiers and horses in the capital are really unable to move.

Besides, there were more than 7,000 defenders in Longcheng Pass. His Majesty sent General Mo to lead the elite troops of 10,000 Beida Camp to support him. Now it's time to arrive.

In this way, the troops at a pass in Longcheng Pass have reached more than 17,000, and it is enough to guard the pass!"

In Liu Shangshu's eyes, the Jinyi Army was a group of "bandits" and "gangsters", so he did not count the troops of the Jinyi Army.

Some people also objected: "But no one knows how many soldiers and horses the enemy has to wait behind. If Longcheng Pass is lost, the capital will be exposed to the enemy's eyes.

Besides, if we cannot send troops to eliminate this cavalry, not only the people of Guanzhong, but also the food transported by us will be cut off by the other party. If this continues, the border troops will be out of food, will they be defeated?"

Yu Shuyang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also listed: "Senator Zhao is right, our army's food route cannot be cut off. The original Ministry of Revenue plans to send a batch of 30,000 shi of military rations to Datong will set off on the fifth day of the next month. Now the official road is not safe, so the Ministry of Revenue dares not allocate this batch of military rations, otherwise it will easily become military rations for the enemy."

Speaking of military rations, Emperor Zhengqing said to Shuyang: "How much food is left in the national treasury now?"

"There are more than 400,000 stones left."

Emperor Zhengqing had calculated it in his mind. Although there were a lot, he didn't know how long this battle would take, so he couldn't just sit there and lose everything.

It's time to raise military rations from the people.

I didn’t delay much about food, so the topic returned to Longcheng Pass.

"Since the troops in the capital cannot be transferred, then let's transfer them from other places. Since the Tartars were defeated several years ago, the turtle has retreated between the white mountains and black waters, and now it has not dared to show up.

However, Liaodong still maintains tens of thousands of troops all year round, so it is better to transfer them all back and listen to them."

"What a joke, I'll get it all back. What if the Tatars take the opportunity to attack?"

"Then adjust half."

"Half is also dangerous, at most one third."

“…”

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Senator Zhao of the Military Pavilion talked with each other. In the end, Emperor Zhengqing made a decision and transferred 20,000 cavalry from Liaodong to support the capital. He then transferred 30,000 troops from Liangzhe and Liangjiang to head north to prevent accidents.

The small council then gave up.

Because Emperor Zhengqing temporarily suppressed the civil and military officials of the court with tough measures, when facing the cruel enemy of Cossacks, the entire state machine began to move, and the strength formed was amazing.
