The cold wind was blowing, and on the official road twenty miles east of the Yetu Ridge, the 8,000 officials in Yulin Town, Shaanxi, rushed to Huangtugou. They received an urgent letter from the Shaanxi commander of the Ming Dynasty. The Ponu Army surrounded and annihilated the main force of the Hui army. The remaining enemies of the Hui army were rushing to Huangtugou east of the Teazi Mountain north of Ningxia. The capital's official army was chasing the remaining enemy troops behind the return army, and the main force of the Ponu Army was also blocking the Hui army in the Lotugou.

After receiving this news, the officials and soldiers of Yulin Town were all excited and they were ready to fight for military merits. This time, Shaanxi wiped out the rebels, and the military merits were eaten by the capital's official army. Even the Shanxi official army could get some leftovers. Except for the Shaanxi official army, which Cao Bianjiao's main army, did not have any military merits. This made the Shaanxi official army very angry. He wanted to take the opportunity of exhaustion to fight for military merits by himself. After drawing lots of lottery for the general Xie Wutu of Yulin, Shaanxi, got on this trip and led the army to attack the right wing of the army.

After Xie Wutu sent a scout to investigate, he found that after many days of emergency marching, he was exhausted and sent only a pursuit scout to drive away the scouts. The scouts of the official army also found that the rebels seemed to be shrinking their troops, occupying several key points on the west side of the Hare Rain, and made a defensive posture. After receiving this news, Xie Wutu became more confident. The returning army had become a tired army, and there was nothing difficult to fight in this battle. As for the terrain of the Hare Rain, he was not worried at all. It was actually a mountain of about 60 meters, with five small hills less than ten meters around. The Hare Rain was actually called a Hare Rain.

Due to the expulsion of the scouts of the rebel army, the scouts of the Shaanxi government also narrowed the scope of the patrol. Ma Tengyao, who was standing on a horse on a distant hill, finally understood deeply. His opponent, the grassland jackal wolf, attached importance to the battlefield covering the battlefield. In several battles against the rebel army, the grassland jackal wolf basically used elite troops to cover the battlefield to hide his real strategic purpose. He also learned from the grassland jackal wolf Zhang Ping'an to cover the battlefield and indeed achieved remarkable results. The official army, who was pushed away by the rebel army scouts, did not find the ambush at all.

The battlefield chosen by the military advisor Ma Yutao of the army was extremely strange. Looking at the flat eyes, the Hare Rain could not hide the ambush, but there was a depression one mile southwest of the Hare Rain, which could just accumulate 20,000 infantry. Even though the Ming Dynasty's official army occupied the highest point of the Hare Rain, there was a 10-foot hill in the north of the depression, which just blocked the observation of the Hare Rain. It was ambushed in the place where the government army thought it was the least likely to ambush, so that its suddenness could be achieved on the battlefield.

The war between the Ming Dynasty's official army and the Hui army began with the battle between scouts. The last scout team of the Hui army started a fierce battle with about 2,000 scouts and 4,000 cavalrymen of the official army. It should be said that the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty was the border army, especially the official army at the junction of Mongolia. Although it may not be able to fight the Mongolians, it still has many advantages compared with the official army that did not fight in the mainland for many years. In the battle of the Hui army, the Shaanxi government army had relatively strong personal combat skills, especially in terms of number of people, and 30% of the most elite scout team of the Hui army died and injured in less than half an hour.

Seeing that they were defeated, the scouts of the Hui army rushed to the west while retreating. On the way to retreat, they also learned from the Po Nu Army, citing the Mongol Manguha tactics, turned around and shot at the chasing official cavalry with bows and arrows. The Hui army's approach completely angered the pursuit of the chasing official army. Seeing that the terrain did not look like there could be ambush, they pursued the Hui army with all their might. The pursuit of the official cavalry divided the entire army into two pieces, and the cavalry and subsequent infantry and baggage soldiers quickly separated.

The scouts of the Hui army gradually led the official army to the west side of the Hare Rabbit Ridge, and the Hui army arranged a goose-shaped military formation here with 20,000 infantry. The pursuing official cavalry was affected by the dust from the Hui army's cavalry, and did not see the Hui army formation. When they saw clearly, the Hui army's infantry shouted and closed the formation in the sound of war drums, like a giant goose squeezing its wings. The Hui army was very clear about their current situation. If they could not eliminate the current official army, they had no way out. Although the Hui army was very tired, they gritted their teeth and insisted on rushing towards the official cavalry. Only when they approached the cavalry would they have a chance to defeat the cavalry.

Obviously, Huijun learned a lot of new tactics in the process of fighting against the Posses. They had ten men, one small team of spearmen and the sword and shield hands closely cooperated with ten men to deal with the official army and one cavalry, forming an absolute advantage in the small battlefield. Huijun sword and shield hands used their shields to slow down the horse speed, and the four spearmen stabbed the official army with their spears off the war horses. The sword and shield hands shouted and chopped the fallen official army into meat paste. The blood flying everywhere stimulated the blood in the hearts of the Huijun officers and soldiers. In just half an hour, the Ming Dynasty's official army and Huijun were mixed together on the battlefield within a radius of five miles, with blood flowing everywhere, and the official army was completely surrounded by Huijun.

Xie Wutu, the Yulin general in the encirclement, quickly ordered the servants around him to break through and let the subsequent infantry come to rescue the siege. After hearing the fighting sounds of the battlefield ahead, the infantrymen of the three miles away also accelerated their pace. They thought the cavalry had caught the main force of the Hui army and were reaping military merits. When Xie Wutu's servants came to pass the orders in blood, they realized that something was wrong. It was impossible for the infantrymen of the military to turn around and escape. The ambushed troops of the Hui army cut off their retreat.

In this decisive battle, the government army fought for military merits, while the military army fought for life. The fighting spirit of both sides was instantly cleared. In just half an hour, the Ming Dynasty's official army dispersed everywhere. The soldiers of the Hui army finally vented their anger against the defeat of the Po Nu Army on the official army. Many soldiers of the Hui army shouted and waved their swords and slashed at the fleeing official army. They chased and spit out blood. Extreme fatigue and extreme excitement exhausted their last strength, and they did not forget to swing their swords and slash at the official army at the moment when they fell to the ground and died.

More officials saw the scene of Hui army squirting blood while swinging swords. The battlefield was full of Hui army soldiers who were spitting blood foam. This strange scene scared the Ming army who were running away. They forgot to escape and wandered around the battlefield like a despair, waiting for the Hui army to kill. Many Hui army fell directly in front of the official army after raising the sword, and the official soldiers were also stunned and dared not move. Some Hui army kept holding the knife raising movements, but could no longer chop off their swords. The eyes were wide open but they lost their lives.

Ma Tengyao, who was watching the battle on the hill northwest of Hare Ridge, couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw these heartbreaking scenes. The soldiers of the Hui army were so weak that they could not continue to fight. All of this was caused by his commander's mistake. At this moment, Ma Tengyao's heart was filled with anger at the grassland jackal wolf. If it weren't for the bad thing Po Slave Army, the heroic soldiers of the Hui army would not have ended up in such a situation. The Ming Dynasty's official army was wiped out in one hour, but the soldiers who were exhausted to death in the Hui army were about 10,000.

Before Ma Tengyao's anger was over, he vaguely heard the sound of muffled thunder coming from a distance. He looked around and saw a scene that made him feel heart-wrenching. In the place where muffled thunder came from northeast of the rebel army, a sand wall fluttered eastward under the north wind. Ma Tengyao, who was old at war, knew very well that this was a sand storm that only tens of thousands of horses could cause. There was no need to guess more. This must be a large number of cavalrymen of the Slave Army approaching the Rebel army. It seemed that under Zheng Ma Tengyao's guess, sand walls appeared in the northwest and southwest of the Rebel army.

There are so many horses, and there is no Ming army in the territory of the Ming Dynasty except the Ponu Army. It seems that the grassland fox wolf Zhang Ping'an leads the Ponu Army to drive the back army south. If the back army dares to resist, they will be killed by the Ponu Army. At this time, Ma Tengyao also understood the plan of the grassland fox wolf Zhang Ping'an. It seems that Zhang Ping'an wants to drive the back army south to fight the decisive battle with the capital's official army. At the critical moment of the decisive battle, the Ponu Army will make the last blow on the back of the rebel army.

Although Ma Tengyao saw through the tactics of Zhang Ping'an, the grassland fox wolf, there was no way to fight the decisive battle with the Po Slave Army, which was full of cavalry, and Ma Tengyao was not sure at all. In this regard, Ma Tengyao could only sigh to the sky and lead the back army to withdraw from the battlefield and move south.

Ma Tengyao's movement south caused panic among the government troops in the capital. After all, there were more than 100,000 people in the army. The generals of the government troops in the capital in the Ming Dynasty saw the determination to fight back. They were worried that the return of the army would be detrimental to the government troops, so the generals and their personal guards left the troops and rushed to the central camp of the Ponu Army. They wanted Ponu Bo to fulfill their promise and first defeat the main force of the Returning Army, and then they would solve the last old, weak, women and children in the Returning Army.

In response to this, Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Pou Nu Army, was very helpless. The soldiers of the capital were all very shameless. They believed that they would give him the benefits of Zhang Ping'an and wanted the Pou Nu Army to fight back to the army. Zhang Ping'an sighed in his heart. In order to provide the materials for the Pou Nu Army, he had to tell these men about commercial credibility. So, after another round of bargaining, Zhang Ping'an agreed to the request of the capital's official army. He discussed and decided with the capital's generals that the Ming Dynasty's official army would defend the camp, and wait for the Pou Nu Army to eliminate the main force of the return army and then attack and clean up the mess.

That night, Hu Ming, Wu Tianxing, Xu Zhen and Qi Heng's troops who had completed the assembly gathered together to set up camps in the west, north and east sides of the Hui army. All scouts of the Pound Army went on patrol, fearing that the important generals of the Returning Army would flee in the dark. In order to continue to return to the army tiredly, Zhang Ping'an, who was also ill-hearted, ordered his artillery team to harass and bombard the return camp one mile away. This intermittent shelling attacks from night to morning. Although not many Hui army were killed, it made the retreating army, which had been struggling for many days, in pain.
