Chapter 66: Assault on Uliangha

Daning City, night.

On summer nights in the grassland, countless insects are chirping incessantly.

It's like a summer song.

From time to time, there was a wolf howl, which came from afar.

The night in the prairie creates a dangerous atmosphere.

In the sky, the Milky Way hangs upside down. Although there is no moon, the visibility is very high. From a distance, there seemed to be a cage of white yarn on the horizon.

At this moment, countless Ming troops, as if they were ghosts and gods in the dark, slowly approached the city of Daning.

To be honest, the three departments of Wuliang Ha didn't attach much importance to Daning City, and they only came to Daning City when they spent the winter before.

The reason is simple.

It is because even if Daning City is dilapidated, the complete structure of the city wall still exists.

In the castle, you can take shelter from the wind and snow. But in the summer it is not often in Daning.

It's just that now their relationship with Wazhu has broken down, and they don't dare to go to the northern pasture, so they all gather near Daning.

This also became the goal of the Ming army.

The decision made by Zhu Qizhen in the center is just a general decision, and the real specific decision will fall on Yang Hong.

In order not to let the tile spur notice, Yang Hong has been secretly transferred.

Until the end of May, tens of thousands of cavalry gathered at Xifengkou.

Immediately, Yang Hong was lightly dressed and simple, each of them brought ten days of dry food, and with an order, the army went out of the customs.

After the army left the Xifeng Pass, it went out by day and night. It took about three days to come to the city of Daning.

The moment has come to a critical juncture.

The 50,000 cavalry divided into three roads and slowly approached Daning City.

And Uliangha seemed unaware.

Because the Ming army and the tile spur are clashing in the northeast at this moment. Naturally, Uliangha let her guard down. Moreover, in many cases, the various departments of the grassland were not as rigorous as the Ming army.

It's just that Uliangha is not a stupid person after all.

They are lax on their guards, not without a little defense.

When he was close to Daning City, he was discovered by Uliangha.

A night battle began.

When Uliangha was in its heyday, there were as many as 70,000 or 80,000 riders, but now it can't.

After all, after one battle after another, there were all kinds of frictions between the Ming army and the tile spurs. The strength of the Uliangha has weakened a lot, but there are still as many as 350,000 horsemen.

At this moment, the Ming army had a large number of people, and they were unprepared for the attack, and Wuliangha naturally couldn't bear it, and more importantly, the gate of Daning City was not closed.

It's not that Uliangha doesn't want to close it, but several of the gates are completely dilapidated and rotten.

After all, it has been many years since the Ming army abandoned Daning, and the wooden iron-clad gate decayed quickly under the wind and rain of nature, and the Mongol tribes would not repair the city at all.

Otherwise historically all with the great

Ningdu became a ruined city.

And a city wall without a city gate is no different from a camp without a city wall. The Ming army drove straight in. A fierce battle ensued.

The day was bright, and the leaders of the various tribes of Wuliangha had already surrendered to Yang Hong's feet.

Yang Hong said: "Send these people to Jingshi and let Your Majesty dispose of them." ”

"Yes." Someone around him immediately said.

Yang Hong sent the leaders of the three guards of Wuliang Ha to the capital division. In this way, it will be easy to control the Mongols below.

After all, the three guards of Wuliangha are not the hardcore of the tile spurs, and they were even the guards under the command of Daming for a time, and Daming has influence on them.

Yang Hong immediately sent people to summon all the leaders scattered in the grassland.

It is impossible for the various parts of the grassland to gather together, and they must be dispersed and grazed.

In the face of Yang Hong's soft and hard threat, the remaining ministries did not dare to refuse at all.

On top of the Daning City Tower. Yang Hong is on top of the city tower.

The Ming army stationed in Daning only two or three days, it has begun to repair Daning City, the first to repair is the Daning City Tower, although this Daning City Tower, and now it has not reached the intact appearance of Daning City.

Old and new wood are spliced together. There are obvious traces.

But now the big and small leaders of the Uliangha have no intention of observing these details.

Yang Hong said: "Duoyan Sanwei is sealed by the Taizu of this dynasty, and you should all have the hereditary official position of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yang Hong's words are not bad.

At the beginning, Duoyan Sanwei was established, but from top to bottom, they were replaced by the guards of the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty paid tribute, it was also according to the official position.

Therefore, don't look at Wuliangha fighting with Daming every day, really speaking, they all have Daming's official positions on their heads, but time has passed, and the official positions sealed by Daming have been different from the actual ones.

This is not a big deal, and even now that the small leader of Wuliangha is pretending to be the official position of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Hong will acquiesce to it now.

These big and small bosses, but they don't know.

One by one, they reported their official positions, either for a hundred or a thousand.

Yang Hong said: "Okay, now that the commanders of the three guards have entered Beijing to meet him, I think that the imperial court will have a reward in the near future." It's just that the three adults and their descendants are promoted, and their errands still have to be done by someone. ”

When Yang Hong said this, the eyes of everyone below lit up.

How could they not hear the meaning of Yang Hong's words.

The commander of the three divisions of Wuliangha made this division enter Beijing, at most, a rich idler. And the tribes they left behind in the steppe. Someone still has to lead the way.

That's a big piece of fat.

They may not be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but as long as they can give them tribesmen and even livestock, they can make them loyal to anyone.

Yang Hong was also very satisfied with their expressions.

After all, Yang Hong has had enough of the hardships of these tribes, and in his opinion, a simple tile thorn is not terrible.

The tile spur is only a hundred thousand horses in Mobei, and the Ming soldiers and horses are far superior to the tile spur.

However, if the Watt Spur can contact the other departments, then the Ming army will have to face the pressure of the entire grassland.

Therefore, Yang Hong's eyes were on the differentiation of the various parts of the grassland.

Although the cavalry ability of the Ming army is not bad, if it can recruit a large number of subordinate cavalry, it is also a great benefit to the Ming army. It can be said that for these wall grasses, the Ming army has one more point here, and the tile spur side has one point less.

Yang Hong also reported this meaning to Zhu Qizhen, and he had already received Zhu Qizhen's acquiescence.

Yang Hong said: "As for who the imperial court wants to do, it depends on who can do things for the imperial court?" ”

The big and small leaders below immediately said, "Please give the order." ”

"Please give me the order."

One by one, they were like wolf cubs, and between their eyes, a faint light erupted.

Yang Hong said: "Okay, you go and gather the warriors of all departments, remember that there is only this one chance, in the future, on the grassland, either from the Ming Dynasty or from the tile spur, between the two, one or the other." ”

"Yes." The heads of the various departments immediately said.

However, three days later, Yang Hong waited for more than 10,000 foot soldiers to reinforce Daning City, and they immediately began to repair Daning City. and hoarded grain and grass, and brought the holy decree of Zhu Qizhen's commendation.

There is also the power to act cheaply.

Zhu Qizhen never remotely controlled the generals who went out.

It's just that Yang Hong got the power to act cheaply, so he untied the shackles.

The 50,000 cavalry from the headquarters have already attached 30,000 subordinate troops from various departments of Uliangha, and the army has brought more than a month's worth of dry food and marched north.

He had two choices, the first one was to cross the Hanhai Sea and attack Ying Chang.

To be exact, the pastures near Yingchang.

Yingchang once became the de facto capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the grassland near them was one of the important grasslands in Waspur. Even after crossing the Hanhai Sea and being able to attack the tile spur.

He didn't believe that the tile spur could accommodate the Ming army in Mobei.

The second option is to go to Zhaozhou.

Broken tile thorn and Zhaozhou city.

The risks of these two options are similar. The Hanhai is difficult to cross, the Ming army has not crossed the Hanhai for decades, and who can know the difficulties and obstacles? After arriving in Mobei, he went deep behind enemy lines, how could the risk be smaller.

As for supporting Zhaozhou, it is even more urgent. There are also those who wait for the long-standing generals to fight, and no one dares to say that they are completely strategic.

However, after thinking about it, Yang Hong finally decided to continue to support Zhaozhou.

Because Uliangha surrendered.

Yang Hong has enough cannon fodder in his hands. At this moment, Yang Hong knew that there was a large number of troops in his hands that could be consumed, did not need to feel distressed, and had a certain combat effectiveness.

It's just that this advantage is not in the hands of the tile spurs, but in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you lose to the tile spur in Zhaozhou, there are so many cannon fodder, and it is very easy to retreat.

Therefore, the wind and rain in Zhaozhou are more urgent.
