The five thousand light cavalry under Wang Yuan carried two days of dry food and drinking water, which was the preparation for the plan to come out to chase the enemy at any time.

Zhu Houzhao's five hundred leopard cavalry brought nothing, and took off the two layers of heavy armor and threw them on the way to chase the enemy. Therefore, they were not wearing enough clothes, and it became colder after nightfall, and now they are trembling around the fire to keep warm.

The light cavalry divided the food and did not have to kill horses to satisfy their hunger for the time being.

"Your Majesty, Governor, the beacon materials are ready!" A confidant named Zhu Zhong rushed over.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Light the beacon tomorrow."

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "We are afraid that it will be nearly ten miles before entering the mountain. It is difficult for friendly troops to see it. We must go to the mountain in front to ignite the fire."

Zhu Houzhao immediately called the mountaineering people who joined the army and asked, "Where is the right place to climb to the top of the mountain outside?"

A young mountain man replied: "A place suitable for climbing is four or five miles behind the Mongolian Tartars. The more you go into the mountains, the steeper the mountain will be, and the army will not be able to pass through. But I can pick a place to climb up and then throw the rope down, so that it will be much easier to climb."

Wang Yuan immediately ordered to go to the mountain people's home to collect ropes.

Ordinary ropes are too thin to bear weight for a long time, so they can only braid them into one piece. This is a bit inadequate. Wang Yuan asked the soldiers to cut the hair of the ponytail and mane, and all of them are used to braid them into ropes. This thing is still very strong.

The beacon fire in the army is a signal of ten miles, and it will be difficult to observe no matter how far it is.

If you want to form the beacon smoke that you see ten miles away, it is naturally impossible to burn some thatch casually. It requires dry firewood, wet firewood, oil, cattle and sheep manure and other things to alternately use. The cattle and sheep manure must be poured into a semi-wet state with water, so that the rolling smoke that soars into the sky can be produced.

The mountaineering people who are responsible for climbing the mountain walls are very powerful. They probably practiced when hunting and collecting herbs. They are more than ten feet (about 50 meters) high in a steep cliff, with only a medicine hoe, and go up barefoot barefoot.

The rope was a little insufficient, so I only made two of them, and only two people could climb up at a time.

Even so, after a few people went up, a soldier missed and fell down twenty or thirty meters and died.

Then, four people teamed up and pulled the beacon materials with ropes. When the beacon materials were piled up on the mountain, they continued to send people to climb. At least twenty soldiers went to burn the beacon smoke. One was to facilitate the transportation of a large amount of beacon materials, and the other was to fall down the mountain in the middle, and there were enough people to make up.

After climbing to the fifth update, he finally gathered twenty people and immediately led the mountain people to advance.

The top of the mountain here is relatively wide, and you can slander the road without a torch. After walking about two miles, the mountain people asked the officers and soldiers to light the torch, and the situation ahead made people's legs and feet weak.

Most of the mountain is covered with loess, and soil erosion is very serious. In many places, the surface loess is washed away, revealing the siliceous sand and gravel below. Not only is the mountain top becoming narrower, but there are also uneven gaps everywhere, which can only allow one person to climb up and down.

If you are not careful, you will step on loose loess and then fall from the top of the mountain.

Two soldiers were killed on the way, and among the mountain people, there were only nineteen remaining in the beacon team.

It was dawn, and the mountain people climbed up to a high ground and suddenly shouted in horror: "There are Tartars!"

The Mongolian soldiers were divided into two strands, but only found easy climbing places to the south. They had no ropes available, and more people died while climbing, followed by the rugged tops of the mountain, and several others were accidentally killed on the way.

At this moment, a mountain citizen and eighteen Ming soldiers followed thousands of Mongolian soldiers and stared at each other.

This broken place is difficult to walk normally, let alone swing a knife to open the ladle.

"Form a formation!"

The Ming flag officers in charge of leading the team quickly reacted and piled up the firewood they carried in front to resist the arrows, and then lit the beacon on the spot.

Even if there are thousands of Mongolian soldiers, they can only catch up at this moment. They must line up one by one, and they must be careful to slip and fall down. Their only way to attack is to shoot arrows from the air.

All the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were on firewood and were not affected by arrows at all.

First, lit dry firewood, then added grease, then spread another layer of wet firewood, and then threw in some half-dry and half-wet livestock manure. Just add it layer by layer, and they carry the beacon materials, which can be burned for at least half a day.

Mongolian soldiers were still shooting arrows, unable to get through, and they would not let the enemy come.

...

Pull back to dawn.

After the beacon team finished climbing, Wang Yuan said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I will go up too, and I will leave it to Commander Yuan Er here."

Zhu Houzhao was afraid that Wang Yuan would fall down: "What are you going to do?"

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "I will lead my troops to climb up and throw stones on the head of the Tartars. If I can find the Tartar leader, I may find an opportunity to shoot him to death."

This time it was Zhu Houzhao's turn to dissuade him: "Just send someone else."

Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "My archery technique is better."

Wang Yuan lived in the mountains since he was a child, and climbing cliffs was like a common occurrence, not to mention a rope. He was very strong, and he stepped on the walls and grabbed the rope, and rose rapidly and quickly, more than twice as fast as an ordinary soldier.

When it was dawn, the Ming army successfully reached the top of more than 20 people.

Wang Yuan personally led the team to search for the stones, but there were not many stones on the top of the mountain, so he could only break off some loess lumps.

The Tartars organized an attack again and were responsible for filling their lives, of course, those who were bullied. Anyway, Dayan Khan would not feel distressed. This time he suffered a bit of a loss. He sent more tribes who were usually disobedient to death, and he could also strengthen the rule of the Dayan Khan family.

As long as you can capture the Han emperor, everything is worth it.

Wang Yuan asked his soldiers to put the loess lumps on the top of the mountain, but did not throw them down for the time being. He took out the thousand-mile mirror and lay on the top of the mountain to observe carefully. He soon discovered a Mongolian leader who organized the attack.

I feel dissatisfied, continue to observe.

In a moment, Wang Yuan seemed to discover the location of the Tatar Center.

There were several Mongolian leaders there, riding on the shoulders of soldiers to observe the battle situation. This was because the high platform could not be raised in the valley, and the shoulders of Mongolian soldiers were higher than those of Mongolian war horses.

During the battle a few days ago, Wang Yuan used a thousand-mile mirror to observe the enemy leader.

Among them, Dayan Khan has a high appearance rate, after all, this person is the center of the Tatar formation.

Suddenly, Wang Yuan's heart thumped, and he actually saw Da Yankhan. This man was riding on the shoulders of a soldier, with soldiers on both sides supporting him, and was calmly observing the battle situation ahead.

Wang Yuan changed to a better sniper position, took out the rhinoceros illumination bow, and erected a heavy arrow to lift the strings.

At this time, the vertical distance between the two sides was only more than fifty meters. In order to facilitate shooting, Wang Yuan actively adjusted the sniper position, and the straight-line distance was only sixty or seventy meters.

Wang Yuan is so confident that he is so close.

Even Wang Yuan was afraid that Da Yan would sweat and move around, so he did not aim at the throat and head, but aimed at the other party's chest.

"Swoosh!"

A heavy arrow flew out, and Dayan Khan was just leaning down and said to his Changsun Buchi: "This battle situation should be..."

Before he finished speaking, Da Yanhan got an arrow on his left shoulder and directly knocked him back.

Wang Yuan quickly took the arrow again, and before the bowstring was full, he shot another arrow, and this time he shot Da Yanhan's calf hanging upside down on the soldier's shoulder.

After hitting the target with two consecutive arrows, the Mongols finally reacted and surrounded the injured Dayan Khan.

Suddenly, a roll of wolf smoke suddenly rose on the top of the mountain two or three miles away.

"Slay the rock!"

After Wang Yuan finished speaking, he took out his horn and blew the attacking trumpet at the top of the mountain.

Twenty or thirty Ming soldiers threw loess lumps from the top of the mountain. Even if the loess is loose and hit by dozens of meters high, once they hit the person, they will lose half their lives even if they don’t die.

The Mongolian army suddenly became panic after the smoke behind us, the trumpets and rocks above our heads.

"If you have an ambush, retreat quickly!" Bu Chi shouted, holding Dayankhan's body.

The leader of the other Tatar tribe, the old boy shouted: "Leave two thousand people to cut off the rear, and leave two thousand people to cut off the rear!"

After the fart was broken, Dayan Khan's life and death were unknown. Bu Chi, the heir of the Khan throne, took Dayan Khan to escape first. How could the other tribes calm down? What's more, the Mongolian soldiers fighting bloody battles in front all came from less core tribes, and they had long been resentful due to heavy casualties.

More than 10,000 Mongolian troops rushed to escape. Some people fled on horseback, some people ran wildly on foot, and the valley roads were narrow, and there were several times more Mongolian soldiers who died in death after trampling on each other than before.

Although Zhu Houzhao and Yuan Da couldn't figure out what was going on, they heard Wang Yuan's charge and immediately ordered the soldiers to get on the horse and chase him.

There were too many Mongolian soldiers trampled to death by friendly troops in the valley, and the Ming cavalry almost stepped on the enemy's corpse and pursued them in a long snake formation. Zhu Houzhao felt so hatred in his heart. Such a good opportunity to kill the enemy, he was actually blocked by his subordinates. The terrain was too narrow and he could not use the advantages of BMW.

Wang Yuan quickly ran back to the place up the mountain, slid down with a rope hanging, and rode a war horse to chase after him.
Chapter completed!
