"Let your sixth brother continue to attack the city, and I will lead people to stop the reinforcements of Ganchao!"

After thinking for a while, Ye Hezhen made this choice, which was a desperate bet.

When Yuwen Hu heard this, his face looked sad, because it was too dangerous if he did not retreat now. If he could not take down Shanhaiguan, more than 100,000 troops would be lost, not to mention that the entire army was wiped out, more than half would be lost.

On the other hand, Li Zongting was commanding the army and slowly rushing to Shanhaiguan, but his handsome flag had been changed, with the word "Ho" on it.

Of course, this was a bluff, deceiving the Yuan Dynasty to explore the horse, making the other party think that it was the main force of the Gan Dynasty.

Chen Yong and Chen Wu also came to Li Zongting to obey the orders, and while advancing, he reported the war to him.

In less than half an hour, this group of people met Ye Hezhen. The two sides set off, but did not start a war immediately.

Because Li Zongting knew that his tens of thousands of troops were not opponents of the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, he planned to get involved and delay time.

As for Ye Hezhen, after finding out that there were only tens of thousands of soldiers coming to the rescue, he immediately understood what was going on, but he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to solve the problem or concentrate on the reinforcements in front of him.

Now that the main force of Ganchao's troops has not arrived, there is only the Shanhaiguan border army. If the Yuan Dynasty troops make every effort, it is very likely that this army will be defeated.

But doing so will delay the time to attack the pass, causing the main force of Ganchao's troops to arrive.

Soon Ye Hezhen made a choice and decided to focus on Shanhaiguan. He immediately ordered the division of troops, preparing to leave 20,000 to 30,000 troops to guard against the reinforcements of the Ganchao.

As soon as the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty split the troops, they found the abnormal Li Zongting and immediately ordered an attack and the entire army was pressed over.

The two sides immediately had a melee. Due to the close force of troops, even if the Yuan Dynasty cavalry had strong combat power, it would be difficult to gain advantage.

The most important thing is that Shanhaiguan has a narrow terrain, which is not conducive to cavalry charges and leads to anxiety in the war.

"Damn it!"

The situation in front of him made Ye Hezhen extremely annoyed and did not dare to continue to divide the troops, otherwise he would be easily defeated by Li Zongting.

Li Zongting was not anxious or slow. In his opinion, Ye Hezhen made a stupid decision. If he was commanding the Yuan Dynasty cavalry, he would definitely concentrate his efforts to deal with the reinforcements of the Ganchao.

The battle between the two sides under Shanhaiguan caused the morale of the defenders in the pass to shock, especially the He-character general flag, which made the defenders even think that the main reinforcements were arrived.

Li Chengsi guessed the truth, but did not tell it. He commanded the strongly motivated defenders to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.

Half of the troops were transferred away, resulting in insufficient troops. Now the defenders are in a strong morale, and the war is stalemate.

Ye Hexiong, who was commanding the attack in the rear, was so anxious that he was in a state of rage, but had no choice.

This battle ended until dark and both sides withdrew their troops one after another.

However, the situation is very different now, and the morale of the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty is not so high.

However, the Ganchao army and the Shanhaiguan defenders were very motivated and felt that victory was near.

"Your Majesty, retreat!" Yuwen Hu said.

Ye He was really unwilling to give up and quickly settled his attention: "The main force of Ganchao has not arrived, let's continue fighting!"

He paused and said, "Even if their main force arrives, I can still fight out with my troops!"

"Why!"

Yuwen Hu sighed, but stopped persuading because he knew that Ye He was gambling.

If the Yuan Dynasty could take down Shanhaiguan before the main force of Ganchao's army arrived, the overall situation would be determined.

If not, the more than 100,000 troops would probably lose more than half, and at least all the wounded soldiers would have to stay.

Ye Hezhen was worried about the main force. Now, it is less than fifty miles away from Shanhaiguan and sixty miles behind him, and is still following the rest of the troops commanded by Wang Wenyuan.

He Yuansheng is completely relieved now because he feels that this battle is considered a win.

The next day, the battle at Shanhaiguan broke out at sunrise.

Because he knew that there was not much time, Ye Hexiong, who led his army to attack the key points, personally went to the front line and commanded the attack nearby.

Under Shanhaiguan, Li Zongting, who felt the situation was critical, also ordered the entire army to attack, even if the casualties were huge, he would still linger on the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty.

Such a battle without regard for sacrifice made Ye Hezhen realize that the real main force of the dynasty was about to arrive.

By the afternoon of the battle, one-third of the Shanhaiguan border troops led by Li Zongting had suffered casualties and were about to collapse.

The Shanhaiguan Guard was also in danger, but the veteran's face was calm and unconscious.

After another cup of tea, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty, which had the advantage, suddenly roared gold and began to gather.

"Hahaha……"

Li Zongting laughed to the sky, feeling excited, and looked behind him.

I saw a piece of smoke and dust flying all over the sky, and the brigade of the army approached the direction of Shanhaiguan, and He Yuansheng finally arrived.

However, before Li Zongting and He Yuansheng met, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry that had assembled began to charge the entire army.

The Shanhaiguan border troops, which had heavy casualties, struggled to resist the Yuan Dynasty cavalry, as if they would be defeated at any time.

Just as Li Zongting was considering whether to make way out, He Yuansheng's military order came, ordering him to make way out and then attack the Yuan Dynasty's troops.

Li Zongting breathed a sigh of relief and immediately commanded the Shanhaiguan border army to move to the left to make way.

He Yuansheng was behind, looking at the Shanhaiguan border troops who were moving forward and retreating freely, and couldn't help but praise him: "What an elite!"

The border troops of Shanhaiguan are much stronger than the three camps commanded by He Yuansheng.

"Sir, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry is coming!" Lao Zhou said.

"We will definitely win this battle, but I don't know how much we can win!"

In this situation, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry was very passive. Even if He Yuansheng did not lead all the main forces, his chances of victory were very high.

After all, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry that had been fighting fiercely for several days was extremely low in combat power and morale. Moreover, they didn't know that only half of the people came, and they would definitely be eager to break through.

Soon the Yuan Dynasty cavalry rushed to the reinforcements and collided fiercely.

After a while of fighting, He Yuansheng decisively ordered people to let go of the mouth, let the Yuan Dynasty soldiers break through and intercept the remaining soldiers with all their might.

Ye Hezhen, who successfully broke through the siege, couldn't help but be very confused, because he felt that the breakthrough was too smooth, and the Yuan Dynasty cavalry rushed out more than two-thirds.

"Your Majesty, I was not the entire main force of the Gan Dynasty just now. They only had more than 100,000 troops!"

At this time, Yuwen Hu spoke and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Is it because the troops in the court are divided to help!"

Ye Hezhen said gritting his teeth. He never expected that such a result would occur.

Because this is a tactic of adding fuel to it, it is easily defeated by the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, be prepared!"

Yuwen Hu's answer made Ye Hezhen feel a little worried when he looked at the road ahead.

Under Shanhaiguan, Li Zongting, who had eliminated the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, finally joined forces with He Yuansheng.

"I've met the commander-in-chief!"

"General Li is exempted from gifts. This time, the general is the first contribution!"

He Yuansheng was in a good mood because the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty almost fell into his pockets and were still attacked from front and back.

"The commander is too good, it's all because you have good command..."

Looking at He Yuansheng in front of him, Li Zongting also felt a little emotional, thinking that it was amazing that he was young and could still command such a big battle.

However, there was also a hint of worry in his heart, not the current situation, but the situation in the court.

"General Li doesn't have to be humble. If you hadn't entangled the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty, no one could say what the outcome of the war would be..."

The two of them were talking while reorganizing the army because they were going to pursue the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the closing door of Shanhaiguan opened wide, and Li Chengsi brought people out to greet him.

After communicating for a few words and learning about the war, He Yuansheng secretly praised himself: "I am worthy of being a general, and my abilities are indeed good."

After the reorganization of the army was completed and the sun had not yet set, He Yuansheng ordered the army to set sail and pursue the Yuan Dynasty's troops.

Although the soldiers were a little tired after a fierce battle, they had to move with their military orders.

Fortunately, the Shanhaiguan border army has good quality, and the three battalions of troops are selected and have high obedience.

In this way, the army took action, chasing the Yuan Dynasty cavalry and heading southwest.

Fifty miles away, Wang Wenyuan, who received the military order, was commanding the army to establish a simple camp and prepare for the upcoming war.

The next morning, Ye Hezhen led the main force of the Yuan Dynasty's troops and horses to appear in front of Wang Wenyuan.

The two sides had no exchanges and started fighting as soon as possible.

The war was very fierce because the generals of the Yuan Dynasty knew that there were more than 100,000 troops behind them. If they arrived, they might be surrounded and annihilated.

Although the army led by Wang Wenyuan was not elite, it had a large number of people and had simple camps. It was not the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty, and could break through at will.

After two hours of battle, He Yuansheng finally caught up and immediately joined the battle.

The situation suddenly changed drastically, and the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Dynasty were like small boats in a storm, which could be destroyed at any time.

At the critical moment, Ye Hezhen took his personal military camp to mobilize, tear a hole from the front, and break out.

The other Yuan Dynasty cavalry also charged along this channel, and even if Wang Wenyuan personally led his troops and wanted to block this channel, he would not succeed.

As time went by, more and more Yuan Dynasty cavalry fled, and the war came to an end.

When the hole was blocked, the remaining Yuan Dynasty troops were no longer able to break through. Except for some desperate people, the rest surrendered.

Before sunset, looking at the statistics of the battle report, He Yuansheng's face was filled with a smile.

In the two days of battle, more than 50,000 people were won, more than 20,000 prisoners were captured, and there were 55,000 intact war horses, which was considered a great victory.

At this time, Li Zongting made a suggestion: "The general should send someone back to Beijing to report the news, so that each county town can strengthen its defense and prevent the defeated soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty from looting!"

He Yuansheng nodded immediately. After all, the Yuan Dynasty cavalry had escaped a lot, and before they left the customs, they pose a great threat to the people.
