Qi Jiguang was very reckless!
According to Chu Feng's plan, the fifty thousand soldiers would be split into five groups, with four deputy generals and one general leading ten thousand men each.
Along Songshan, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan and a few other Ming Guards, they attacked.
The snow on the mountain was covered in ice, and the sound of horse hooves trampling along the road turned into mud.
Torches, sabers, and banners surrounded Shanhaiguan Pass. Horses neighed and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted.
"General, is tonight just a provocation?”
A deputy general beside Qi Jiguang felt that he was not satisfied and said with a face full of resentment,""Although the Ming army has many soldiers, they are scattered across many lines of defense. If we fight a bloody battle, it's not impossible.”
"How can we disobey the Lord's orders?"
Although Qi Jiguang didn't understand the specific reason, he still knew what to do.
The war drums were beating so loudly that the earth shook and the mountains shook. The curses and shouts went with the wind and fell on the city gate of Shanhaiguan one by one.
Man Gui, who had a full beard and was wearing armor, pulled his black face and said angrily,"Where did you get 50,000 soldiers? This is at most ten thousand people!"
" General, according to the scouts, there were 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in Shengjing City…"
"But for some reason, only these people are left here…"
An adjutant also asked with a puzzled expression.
"Motherf * cker, how arrogant."
Man Gui was a wimp. He immediately smashed his fists and said," Men, release the arrows, release the fire arrows…"
"General, the enemy has no intention of attacking the city. If we shoot rashly, I'm afraid…"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just shoot the arrow when I tell you to…"
Man Gui was already too lazy to listen.
Qi Jiguang and the others outside the city had already been shouting for an hour. If this continued, the Ming army inside the pass would definitely be in turmoil.
Military orders were like mountains.
Arrows wrapped in tarpaulin were ignited one after another. Thousands of soldiers gathered in front of the battlements, nocked their bows and arrows, and aimed outside the city.
Pu pu pu--
The arrow tore through the air, piercing through the night sky, heading straight for Qi Jiguang and the others.
"Retreat, retreat!"
As if they were already prepared, a deputy general raised his arm and called out, and tens of thousands of soldiers quickly retreated. Before the arrows landed, they had already pulled away from the range of the arrows.
The rocket was empty.
They were all inserted into the snow, and the burning tarpaulin was extinguished.
He couldn't hit her, and he couldn't scold her.
On the city gate, Man Gui was furious."Pass on my order. Gather 15,000 soldiers and follow me out of the city…"
"General, you mustn't."
The deputy general was shocked and quickly reached out to stop him."We still have to ask the Overseer first. Otherwise…what if it's an enemy trap?”
"What trap?"
" Look out!" Mangui said angrily with thick eyebrows and big eyes." It's a vast plain. If there are enemies lying in ambush, how can you not see them?" How can scouts not find it?"
"But…"
"How can you be a general of the army?”
Man Gui pushed him away and rushed downstairs.
There was still some distance between the city gate and Yuan Chonghuan's residence. Naturally, they would not be able to get a response to what had happened here so quickly.
Man Gui did not have the patience to wait any longer. The other party had already f * cking peed and pooped on his neck. If he did not retaliate, only a ghost would be able to take it.
He quickly ran down the stairs, waving his arms as the messenger quickly gathered tens of thousands of soldiers.
When they heard that they were going to leave the city to fight, the Ming army, who had been holding back their anger, immediately became excited. After two days of rest, everyone wanted to go out and kill to their heart's content.
Starting from the city gate, countless torches formed a sea of fire on both sides of the official road, illuminating half of the city.
Man Gui brought out his spear, looking like he was going to fight a bloody battle.
"General Man! General Man…"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard along the main road. Zu Dashou appeared with a few guards.
As the warhorses drew near, everyone jumped off their horses.
"Ancestral General…"
"The Overseer has ordered that we must not leave the city to fight.”
Zu Dashou pulled Man Gui and panted as he pointed outside the city gate.""This is the enemy's plan to lure the soldiers. If the general goes out to fight, he will definitely be surrounded!”
"General Zu, there are only ten thousand soldiers outside the city!”
Man Gui couldn't understand it and was so angry that he was about to explode."If we let them…"
"The supervisor has his own reasons. Could it be that General Man…"
"Did General Zu really not notice the change in the Overseer?”
Man Gui suppressed her anger and pulled Yuan Chonghuan to an empty space. She lowered her voice and said,""Ever since the battle of Guangqu Gate, the overseer entered Shengjing City alone. I don't know what he talked about with that Chu Feng kid, but after he returned, his temperament changed drastically!”
“？？？”
Zu Dashou was confused.
"A memorial to the throne made His Majesty furious. Now that Qian Longxi has become the prime minister of Shanhaiguan, the governor doesn't have the overall situation at hand.”
Mangui rambled on and on, and Zu Dashou fell into deep self-doubt.
"General Zu, regardless of why the enemy appeared here, they will definitely endanger the border troops of the Ming Dynasty. They might even have the tendency to enter the pass…"
"If General insists on listening to Overseer Yuan and the enemy takes the opportunity to enter the pass and attack the capital, how should we deal with them? Was there going to be another battle at Guangqu Sect?”
After he finished speaking, Man Gui was only left panting heavily. He placed his hands on his hips and his old face flushed red.
"This matter is of great importance. What General Man said just now was just speculation. I still want to find Overseer Yuan…"
"General Man is right!"
As he was speaking, Yuan Chonghuan's figure appeared from behind. Two guards supported him while he covered his head with one hand."These few days, I might have been a little tired. I didn't consider it properly just now and really sent troops to fight!”
"Overseer?"
Zu Dashou was stunned.
"However, General Man, I, Yuan Chonghuan, have served the country for my entire life. Even if I die, I will not fear battle.”
Yuan Chonghuan retorted angrily and continued,"General Man's guess is correct. I only thought of it after General Zu left.”
" When the enemy appeared from Shengjing City, there were about forty to fifty thousand of them. The reason why there were only about ten thousand soldiers left at Shanhai Pass was because the rest of the soldiers were scattered around the Songjin defense line…"
"If this old master's guess is correct, that person called Chu Feng must have already led his troops into the pass. This group of people is harassing us…"
"This?"
Zu Dashou and Man Gui's faces turned green.
"This time, even if I have a hundred mouths, I won't be able to escape the suspicion of colluding with the enemy.”
Yuan Chonghuan laughed bitterly at himself."Their goal is to stop Grand Secretary Qian, but we can't blindly follow them. I mean…since they've come, we must keep the soldiers outside the city here forever.”
