The goose cart made by working overtime and rushing to work for six or seven days was easily defused by the Ming army in the first tentative siege of the city, and it was not even touched at the foot of the city wall, and was directly hit by two rounds of artillery bombardment, so that it could not raise its head, and even almost beat the cannon fodder soldiers under the city to the ground, which was a situation that the Tumen Khan never expected.

Tumen Khan ordered the troops to be withdrawn with a blushing face, and returned to the tent of the Chinese army in anger.

Burihatu followed in without saying a word, but did not speak immediately, just frowned and quietly thought about something.

Tumen Khan wanted to be patient, but after all, he still didn't cultivate enough, so he pulled out the scimitar on his waist and slashed it, splitting the horizontal case in front of his seat in half, and gasping for breath with a snort.

Burihatu glanced at it, but still did not speak.

But Tumen Khan himself couldn't help it, and asked angrily: "Why is this happening!" Yes? When did the artillery of the Ming army become so capable? Ben Khan has been fighting with the Ming army for decades, and he has never found that their artillery has been so accurate, let alone that the artillery interval of the Ming army can be shortened to this extent! What the hell is going on?! ”

Buri Hatu let out a breath of turbidity and sighed: "It seems that we are underestimating Gao Pragmatic after all. ”

"What's the matter with him!" Tumen Khan's right hand holding the knife trembled with anger, and he looked very unhappy with Gao Pragmatic, and said loudly: "Could it be that these cannons are so powerful because of his high pragmatism?" He's an immortal, can he do spells?! ”

Judging from these angry words, Tumen is really angry.

Burihatu said calmly: "Naturally, he doesn't know spells, but it seems that it is more difficult to deal with than spells." ”

Tumen looked at Burihatu coldly and said nothing.

As if he hadn't seen it, he continued: "As far as the minister knows, the Ming army has been refitting over the years, and the original old artillery has gradually been retired from the first-line defense line, or transferred to the rear, Xuanda, Jiliao and other important towns, and now most of them have been replaced with new guns produced by Jinghua, and these new guns are of good quality, the original old guns love to blow up, dumb fire, etc., and there are a lot less but sweats on these new guns, this matter is not so simple.

First of all, when Gao Gong was in power, the financial situation of the Ming court continued to improve, so that the Ming court began to have money to change clothes, and then Gao pragmatic set up the Jinghua Artillery Factory and the Jinghua Gun Factory, and began to rob the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau, supply border firearms, and gradually eliminate the old artillery and firearms.

The same was true after Guo Pu Bingzheng, this policy has now been implemented for more than ten years, and the Ming army itself has discovered the reliability of these artillery, so it has fewer concerns when fighting. As a result, the Ming army dared to fight if the artillery was good, and the Ming army dared to fight, which made the power of these artillery fires increase greatly. Therefore, if you want to say that there are spells, the first person with spells is probably Gao Gong, and of course Gao Pragmatic is not bad. ”

Tumen Khan said coldly: "Ben Khan doesn't care how big the spells are for Gao Gong and Gao Shi, Ben Khan only cares about how to break their spells. ”

Buzhihatu was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is difficult to break the battle, and it can only be broken in the Ming court." ”

Tumen Khan sneered: "Ming court court? Even Ben Khan has to learn some spells before he can do it, maybe someone in the Ming court is willing to help Tumut speak, but who is willing or even who dares to speak for Ben Khan? ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Besides, even if the Ming court can break the spell of the Gao family's uncle and nephew, it is not something that can be done in a short time, and Ben Khan will have to face this trouble now, and when he breaks his high and pragmatic spell in the Ming court, I am afraid that Ben Khan has already been defeated and fled!" ”

Burihatu did not speak. It's not that you don't want to say it, it's really unreasonable.

There is a good saying that in the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks will not help.

Buzhhatu did see the "weakness" of pragmatism, that is, all his successes were based on the support of the Ming court, as long as the court denied him, these "spells" would naturally be broken.

But Tumen is right, how easy is it to kill Gao pragmatic in the Ming court? Not to mention that their Chahar Department is the number one enemy in the world in the eyes of the Ming court, no one dares to risk the disapproval of the world to help them speak to harm Gao Pragmatic, even if there is really such a person, and everything goes well, it will never be something that can be done in a short period of time, and the current problem of Tatumen Khan is a current problem: if he can't defeat Shacheng, this time the army will become a joke!

Now Chahar's hometown doesn't know if it has been killed by Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, and even if it doesn't, the Chahar Department has lost three powerful forces.

If he Tumen Khan can pacify Tumut and make Tumut and even the entire right-wing 30,000 households resubmit to the "Great Yuan Khan's Court", then there is still an explanation for the previous losses, which can cover up the past.

But if he hadn't been able to pacify Tumut, or even worse, he had suffered a defeat in Shacheng and retreated back to Chahanhot, the last bit of prestige of the Great Yuan Khan's court would have disappeared, and it was difficult to say whether this Mongol communist could continue to do it.

Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Tumen Khan was terrified, and couldn't help but turn from anger to panic, and asked: "Burihattu, you said that if Ben Khan returns to the court now on the grounds of returning to the division to rescue or recover Duoyan's hometown, can it be done?" ”

Whether it can be done or not does not mean that it can be withdrawn or not, because in the eyes of the Tumen, the withdrawal is definitely able to be withdrawn, and the key question is whether others will believe that the follow-up impact is not because he can't defeat Shacheng, but because he really wants to rescue or recover Duoyan's hometown and withdraw his troops.

The key here is still a question of face, that is, a question of prestige.

But Tumen forgot that it was stupid for him to ask Buzhhatu this question, because Buzhhatu was still the son of Xin Ai after all, how could he support Tumen to abandon the Tumut strategy and flee back in despair?

Maybe for Tumen, going back can barely survive for a while, but for their beloved father and son, once Tumen gives up Tumut, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to even survive!

Because when Xin Ai ran away before, he gave up the tribal leaders and fled with only the army!

On the Han side, maybe as long as there is an army, you can have everything, but in Mongolia this is not the case, there are no tribal people, no cattle, sheep and horses, what do these people eat?

Xin Ai brought more than 10,000 people and horses, not too much, no less, but to support such a group of men and horses, it is absolutely impossible to have two or three hundred thousand cattle and sheep, and to have two or three hundred thousand cattle and sheep, at least thirty or forty thousand people.

Thirty or forty thousand people, do you expect the great Zasaktu Khan to take out his own people and give them to Xin Ai?

He's not!

What's more, after Su Jianghai and Dong Fox were killed in battle, and Chang Ang fled with the tribe, Tumen's own strength was already a little insufficient, and at this time, he was still expected to be able to cut meat and feed the tiger?

Therefore, for the Tumen, this battle of Tumut is only a question of whether the Great Khan of Mongolia can continue to do it justifiably, and for their loving father and son, it is already a matter of life and death!

Buzhhatu said decisively: "It is absolutely impossible, no Mongolian is willing to believe it." ”

The corners of Tumen Khan's mouth twitched a few times, and he sat down on the felt cushion with a dejected ass, and sighed: "I knew that the Ming people were so good at guarding, and Ben Khan shouldn't have come to Shacheng easily, if I listened to your advice before, I would have gone to lay a big board and ascend to the city first." Dabansheng City is the old nest of Hannaji, to lead the people to have the people, to have cattle and sheep to have cattle and sheep, to have wealth and silk, as long as you take the Daban Shengcheng, even if you take the spoils of war to withdraw to Chahar is not impossible. ”

Burihatu scolded secretly in his heart, but there was no expression on his face, and he shook his head and said: "At this time and that time, judging from today's situation, Dabansheng City may not be as easy to fight as we originally imagined." ”

"Why?" Tumen frowned and said: "Dabanshengcheng is not defended by the Ming army, and Hannaji is the same as us, can he still make Dabanshengcheng the same as Shacheng, so many cannons?" Ben Khan did not believe that the Ming would give him a cannon. ”

This is true, it is impossible for Gao Pragmatic to give Hannaji a cannon, this kind of stupid thing that is too upside down, Gao Pragmatic will indeed not do it. Unless Tumut, like Annan, has now made him the de facto emperor.

This is obviously impossible, the Ming court can not care whether it is the Ming or Gao pragmatic behind Annan, but Tumut is close at hand, if it is not behind the Ming Dynasty, but Gao Pragmatic himself, then the King of Shunyi simply gave Gao Pragmatic a treat, why do you want Tumut to be named?

But how could King Shunyi let Gao Pragmatic do it? With high and pragmatic financial resources, if he controls Tumut, the strongest tribe in Mongolia with a command of 100,000 strings, and he has all the artillery and fire at hand, if he has any ambitions, I am afraid that he will not be able to attack Yanjing within three days!

Even if Zhu Yijun has a good relationship with Gao Pragmatic and gets along with the monarch and the minister, he will not be so big-hearted.

But Buzhihatu still has a reason to say, but before he could continue to fool Tumen Khan, an urgent military report came from outside: "Great Khan, something is wrong, a large army has been found on both sides of Shacheng and the east and west!" ”

Tumen was taken aback: "The army? Whose army? How many people are there? ”

Tanma hurriedly replied: "The army of the West Road is waving the banner of Dacheng Taiji, bringing up the yellow sand all the way, and there are at least forty or fifty thousand people under their command!" ”

Tumen jumped up in shock, and their voices changed: "How can there be so many people in Hannaji?" He poured out the Tumertesi outpost? Don't want the big board to ascend to the city? ”

"Yes, Great Khan, there are so many of them!" Tanma was also so anxious that he was sweating, and continued to report: "The number of the army on the East Road is also quite large, estimated to be no less than 30,000 people, but the flag color is quite mixed, and there must be at least a dozen Taiji banners. ”

Tumen gasped, forty or fifty thousand plus thirty thousand, this is at least 70,000 horses, which is already worthy of the sum of him and Xin Ai's department.

If you add the exact number of Ming troops in Shacheng City

The great Zasaktu Khan shuddered.
