"Guangyuan is right." Bi Mazi praised, saying with contempt: "After all, these people cannot accomplish great things. If Liu Bei had not brought so many people, he would not have been so miserable to Cao's soldiers. They were planning to go out of the West Pass. I heard that they had hooked up with Taiji, a Beilu, and Baixu, were planning to use troops here. They first sent elite cavalry out of the pass, and each family cooperated with elite forces to break the defense outside the West Pass and let the people run north. These people said that if they fell into the hands of the Beilu, they might be redeemed or put back. At the very least, the Beilu would keep herding sheep. If it fell into the hands of the Jianlu, they would probably be killed. If they were caught back in the hands of Liaodong, they would be better than death."

Ma Guangyuan said: "You should notify the Li Efu at the foot of the mountain earlier and send someone to slip down the mountain now?"

"Wait." Wang Sancai kept frowning and thinking, then stretched out his hand and said, "It's a sudden start. Let's take a look at the movements in the West Pass first. Even if you want to send someone, you have to go there before going dark."

Bi Mazi and others were waiting for news all afternoon, and the cavalry of the two and a half squadrons of Yu Shenmu in the West Pass had completed the mobilization.

"Breakthrough is a real breakthrough." Wen Zhongfa, who arrived at the western pass, told Ma Wu: "It just happened to ask you to weigh the combat power of the Donglu. We have been fighting with the Beilu before. As time goes by, Shisan Mountain will be a good place for training troops. This is also the important reason why we have been strengthening Shisan Mountain. It depends on you at this time."

Although Wen Zhongfa was encouraging, he was obviously worried. He ran around the two passes and fought on the east pass. Every day, the Eight Banners soldiers drove a large number of Han people and coats in front. However, Wen Zhongfa observed behind and found that the Eight Banners soldiers who shot upward with a stair bow were very good, and the stair bows were used were powerful. Moreover, these Eight Banners soldiers were well-trained, and their advance and retreat were very strict. They were almost prohibited. Whether they were wearing armor or flags, they were almost well versed in the method of formation warfare. Judging from the observations over the past period, they were truly strong.

Ma Wu did not agree with Wen Zhongfa's attitude. He said: "Please rest assured when the commander of Deputy Wen's regiment, we will definitely tear apart the defense of the Donglu and involve and attract the main force of the Beilu."

Wen Zhongfa was a little worried, but he didn't say it at this time. He smiled and said, "You go to Neikalka and ask to cook more sheep with fried flowers. This old guy is not a good product, don't be polite to him."

Ma Wu said arrogantly: "Deputy Commander Wen has entered and exited Jining Fort several times. He is a role model for us. This time it depends on us."

According to Xu Mingchengfang and Wen Zhongfa’s decision, we must do a good job of acting. At the same time, we will send troops this time to see the movements of Neikalkha and Korqin. The Donglu dispatched more than 10,000 troops this time. It will definitely not only deal with Shisanshan. I think they will also take the opportunity to attack the Beilu in depth. After all, the Beilu has been making a big fuss in the past six months!"

From the second year of Tianqi to the sixth year of Tianqi, the main direction of war for the Later Jin was Mongolia, Daishan and other great belles led their elite troops to attack Mongolian forces many times, which directly led to the result of Lin Danhan's cowardly war westward migration. Chahar Mongolia was forced to move westward, and the entire eastern Mongolia and northern Mongolia lost its backbone. Next, the Later Jin and the five Neikhal tribes led by Chaohua broke out. Chaohua disappeared after the war. The five Neikhal tribes and the Korqin tribes chose to contribute to the Later Jin, and then the three Outer Mongolia tribes performed the Nine White Tribes. Next was Huang Taiji's campaign to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the second year of Chongzhen. If he did not conquer Mongolia first, how could the Later Jin be armed with thousands of armors?

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) and more than 10,000 flag soldiers, dare to detour thousands of miles, cross the border wall, rush through Jizhen, and go straight to the Ming Dynasty's capital city wall?

At this time, due to the existence of Heyusheng, the grain channel was many times larger than that of the Shanxi merchants and was more important than that of the Shanxi merchants. It seems that the war with the Nei Khalkha tribes or the headquarters of the Han tribes that occurred around the fifth year of the Tianqi period was likely to break out early. At least, Daishan and Amin were also very likely to go deeper and sweep them hard after the Thirteen Mountains ended. Otherwise, they would not be able to explain to Nuerhaci after returning to Liaoyang.

Wen Zhongfa, Cheng Fang and others were unable to understand the overall historical trend, but it was still easy to calculate based on the existing information. Ma Wu and others deceived Bi Mazi and his gang, and on the other hand, it was more important to break the encirclement outside the West Pass and attract some of the Eastern Lu cavalry to the north. As for the next step of action, it was to look at the response of the Eastern Lu. If the other party turned north, it would be clear that the Later Jin Dynasty's attention to Mongolia was far above the Thirteen Mountains and the Ming Dynasty. It is very likely that because of this action, Thirteen Mountains could reduce considerable pressure in the short term.

After the two and a half squadrons of cavalry gathered, Yang Er had already cleaned and opened the road in the shortest time. The pass here was much more steep than the east, but there were very few places to be damaged. After repair, it could barely pass through Yima.

The two and a half squadrons of cavalry slowly rode down the slope. After two or three hundred steps, it was a bend, and then hundreds of steps were another bend. After passing such a dozen bends, there was a trench in the direction of the Later Jin Dynasty. Because I had observed in advance, I knew that the trench was very shallow and horses could leaps past.

Yang Er, Wen Zhongfa and others were watching with telescopes. There were many infantry soldiers around them, and everyone was nervously watching the scene in front of them.

"kill!"

Wen Zhongfa saw that Ma Wu arrived at the trench first, and the Later Jin side finally realized that the closest thing to the trench was a group of coats who dug and repaired damaged mountain roads and captured Han people. They had no combat power and only had a small number of Han military police. When they just heard the news, Ma Wu and others arrived first. The cavalry held guns in their hands. Ma Wu took the lead in firing one gun. A Han army more than ten steps away fell and screamed. The rest of the cavalry also fired guns one after another. In the deafening sound of guns, all the Han army that rushed to meet the enemy were hit. Almost in an instant, the defensive front composed of the Han army was immediately declared broken.

Ma Wu put away his cavalry gun and drew out a long straight knife. The blade shone brightly. The war horse crossed the long trench and slashed the sword light downwards. A head with braided hair was cut down and flew into the air.

More cavalrymen rushed through the long trench, with the sound of cavalry guns, the sound of slashing swords, the sound of killing, the screams of killing, and the screams immediately formed a scene that made people feel passionate and passionate. Yang Er suddenly waved his fist and praised: "He Yusheng's cavalry is really brave and knowledgeable, and makes people have nothing to say."

"This is just the beginning." Wen Zhongfa said: "The real test is behind."

The resistance of the Han army was easily shattered, and the cavalry kept rushing through the long trench. In front of them were countless fleeing Han army and Baoyi. Under the long sword and cavalry gun, these people had almost no courage to resist.

Under Ma Wu's order, many cavalry raised their torches and lit them in the camps on the Later Jin side. In this way, for at least a long time, they would no longer be able to threaten the safety of the West Pass.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) After doing these things, the two and a half squadrons of cavalry reorganized and loaded the muskets. Then the soldiers put away the sabers and raised the muskets again. More than 120 people slowly disappeared in front of Wen Zhongfa and Yang Er in the form of a column of two horses. Behind them, a raging fire burned. The mountain road was very narrow, and the fire gradually became larger, burning many trees. Fortunately, it was late spring, and it was difficult for trees full of green to really burn. After the fire in the camp became smaller, the fire on the huge rock cliffs on both sides of the mountain road gradually became smaller, and eventually became thick smoke.

...

Bi Mazi and others saw the thick smoke from the West Pass, and the people who were rewarded also came back and said that the cavalry rushed out, and saw the brigade of the brigade and Yusheng's infantry were in full swing, which should be preparing for further attack.

"Can't delay it." Bi Mazi said to Wang Sancai: "Hurry and ask someone to slip out of our base and report all the situation here. If we wait for Yusheng and Yang Er and others to escape, we will have a big future for surrender."

Several big bosses had a general opinion, so Wang Sancai did not dare to neglect and quickly summoned his subordinates who had usually sneaked down the mountain. After the instructions, he asked the man to go down the mountain quickly after it was dark.

As soon as the sky got dark, Bi Mazi and others urged the person who was used to going down the mountain to climb over the hillside quickly and climbed down from a place that looked steep but could actually slowly descend. Cao Zhenyan also came up from here to go up the mountain, looking directly from the slope. It was as steep as elsewhere. In fact, there was a long gentle slope in the middle, and there were shrubs and trees to help climb. One or two hundred people could come up at a time. Just be careful when going up the hill.

"I guess someone will come up tonight." Bi Mazi said: "Everyone goes down and lets out a breath of wind with their subordinates, and make a little preparation. When I get a reply to the evening, everyone asks their subordinates to wrap a white cloth around their arms to prevent them from being killed by accident. Also, don't show too much. At this moment, let them see something wrong and make a big deal, so I will pick up someone's six and a half pounds first, and remember it for me."

Several big bosses left one after another. Bi Mazi felt uneasy and asked Wang Sancai and Ma Guangyuan to bring their subordinates first and wait outside the village. His own guards were fully armed and on guard at any time.

Bi Mazi told everyone not to show signs. If someone passes by and asks, they will say they are preparing to change the defensive slope, and some are recruits who need to strengthen training.

Shortly after dinner, Bi Mazi asked someone to put on his inner armor and be careful in the security. Nothing happened at this moment. He made up his mind that no matter what the reasons or excuses were, he would not go out anyway.

It was soon time to get the update, and the senders sent out had never come back. Those who knew the inside and outside of the Lijia Village were a little anxious. However, those ordinary soldiers didn't know what happened or what might happen. Most of them still regarded this as an ordinary night. When the shift was about to change the guards, many people changed the guards to the fortifications on the slope. The military discipline of Bi Mazi here was very casual, and people were greeting. Some acquaintances didn't meet for several days, bowed to each other, greeted each other, greeted each other, and greeted each other. The guards transferred inside and outside the village didn't know what they wanted them to do. After staying for a long time, they only ate some cakes and didn't even drink hot soup. Many people were very dissatisfied with their mouths of cursing.
