Chapter 92: Responding to the Battle
Seeing this news, Zhu Houzhao's first feeling was.
Dayan Khan went crazy.
This madman, he actually threw all his strength into this war. Even, he contacted Warat and united Eastern Chagatai.
Zhu Houzhao scolded: "Dog, why don't you pull the Haixi Jurchen on the line?" β
It was this sentence that made Zhu Houzhao suddenly enlightened.
The Tatars came so much that the steppes ...... Isn't it empty?
The palace should have a cavalry to fight and fight into the grassland; Or unite with the Tunguska...... Well, think too much!
None of them are realistic.
Don't look at the game of fighting to raise war, it's exciting and crazy, but it requires not only crazy determination, but also luck.
This seemingly lofty game requires a 100% win rate.
In other words, even a small defeat could lead to the annihilation of the entire army!
Extinguishing this thought, Zhu Houzhao frowned.
What Zhu Houzhao didn't know was that this heavy snow was the real reason why Dayan Khan was able to unite with Warat and talk about Tongdong Chagatai.
One of the reasons for this was that even if Varat and Eastern Chagatai joined forces last year, they were beaten by the Tatars.
Countless cattle, sheep, and slaves were snatched up by the Tatars.
Thus, they had a miserable winter.
At the same time, this is also the reason why Higashi Chagatai can't afford to buy things!
No matter how good Zhu Houzhao's weapons were, he couldn't stand the wealth of Man Su'er and was robbed by the Tatars.
What to buy!
Under the mediation of Dayan Khan, everyone set their eyes on one place - Daming!
Here, there are not only fragrant honey, soft and beautiful silk, tea leaves, salt and a series of other things that everyone needs.
According to the intelligence of the spies, the north of the Ming Dynasty actually ushered in a bumper harvest year!
Countless grains piled up, and everyone began to be moved.
And most importantly, the miracle medicine!
A miracle medicine that no one can't go crazy for!
It's not just a miracle drug, it's gold, it's wealth, it's population!
It's power!
As long as you have the magic medicine formula, even a dog can form an army of dogs that sweep the world!
Multiple forces hit it off!
Dongchagatai pinned down the border troops in Jiayuguan and other places, so that they could not support Yansui, Guyuan, and Ningxia; The four major tribes of Warat poured out of their nests, entered the Hetao Plain, and approached Yansui; The Tatar right flank Wanhu Ordos and Yongshebu attacked Datong.
As for Dayan Khan, he simply gave up Datong this time, took the Flying Fox Ridge Pass with a thunderous force, and has entered both sides of the Dongyang River and the Xiyang River.
Zhu Houzhao asked the Jinyi Wei Baihu who passed the message: "...... tell the specific situation to the palace?"
Jinyi Wei Baihu replied: "At that time, the Tatars frantically attacked the Flying Fox Ridge Pass, General Zhang Jun was besieged by Huosiao and Chahan, and Zhang Poyu led many brothers to fight the Khalkha Top Ten King Kong ......"
This matter can be said in a few words.
But to elaborate, it is more than three days and three nights.
Before the first month had passed, the Tatars could not wait to come.
The outposts and fortresses outside the Great Wall cannot be restored in view of the fact that the Flying Fox Ridge Pass cannot be restored all year round...... Even if it is the New Year, even if it is a surprise repair in the ice and snow, it will be harassed by the Tatars no less than a thousand horsemen.
Therefore, these outposts and fortresses will usher in the first wave of attacks every time.
Everyone also knows that who guards this place is almost a word.
Die!
However, although there is occasional rotation of the border troops guarding this place, most of them are locals.
Farming in peacetime, becoming an army in wartime.
Under the attack of the Tatars with a century-long timeline, the hatred for each other has long since turned into an endless sea of blood.
It can be said that there is not a single family that does not have a deep hatred with the Tatars.
This kind of place of death has instead become a place for the old and weak soldiers to scramble.
The number of people, and they will not send too much.
As long as you discover the Tatar invasion and light the beacon fire, you can complete the mission.
But this time, the snow was too heavy!
Several veterans froze to death that night.
The others didn't have time to take precautions, and they didn't have time to fire at all, so the Tatars raided the Flying Fox Ridge Pass.
Approaching the huge gap of one mile, even the garrison of the Great Wall, the new opening, the new estuary fort sniping desperately, could not stop the Tatars from ignoring the lives of slaves.
When the slaves entered the pass, the Tatar cavalry also entered.
The two divisions of Menggol and Chahar entered one after another, and successfully occupied the strongholds inside and outside the Great Wall.
At this time, as long as the Tatars did not hesitate to launch a major raid at the cost of slaves, the fortress within the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty would soon be in a state of division.
ββββ subparagraphββββ
War, it's weird.
Similar to this kind of desperate, all-out attack on the nine-sided town of the Ming Dynasty is almost rare in history.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the grassland forces have preferred to attack Xuanfu and Datong.
Occasionally, they will attack Yansui.
As for places like Jiayuguan...... To be honest, this kind of hard bone can't eat a few taels of meat even after it is beaten, and the grassland forces usually disdain it.
Xuanfu is not the same as Datong.
After laying Datong, Taiyuan became a lamb to the slaughter.
After hitting Xuanfu, the knife directly hit Daming's heart.
Therefore, like Menggol Lejin and Chahar, Dayan Khan either ordered him to guard the Hetao, or made him threaten the important towns of the Ming Dynasty at all times.
For example, the one who threatens the Flying Fox Ridge Pass at all times is Chahar.
But this time, it came too early.
At this time, the snow and ice have not completely melted!
The Tatars poured out of their nests, saying that they were in camp for thirty miles...... Zhu Houzhao thought that this was underestimating the Tatars.
I'm afraid it's a hundred miles!
Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered: "Prepare war materials!" This palace wants to enter the Xuanfu in person and fight with Dayan Khan! β
Jiao Fang had just come to the barracks, and when she heard Zhu Hou's words, her old face did not stretch with her concubine, but wrinkled into bitter melon.
Since last year, he has guessed Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
But what can he say!
He has old arms and legs, except for the concubine who can command him...... Can he say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is moved?
He also has a deep enmity with the Tatars!
The Tatar invasion was more than just burning, killing and looting.
Hundreds of lives were killed in Jiaofu, and the mansion, which had been in continuous operation for a hundred years, was burned to ruins...... This kind of hatred will not be forgotten by every Jiao child.
Jiao Fang turned his heart sideways and said, "Your Highness, the variable of war may lie in Datong. β
Zhu Houzhao pondered.
This variable is very small.
Under the coercion of Dayan Khan, the chances of Yongshebu and Ordos daring to release water are extremely small.
Not to mention Dayan Khan's headquarters, Dayan Khan's eagle Uliangha alone is like a knife, fiercely resisting the retreat of Ordos and Yongshebu.
And why does the Khalkha, a hunting dog, keep roaming outside the Great Wall?
Their goal is probably to lose Yong Xie Bu and Ordos, and then they will immediately seize the control of the war.
But don't stab, Mandu Agu dare to resist?
They don't dare!
With just one act of releasing water, the Tatars can tear their camp, their tribe, to pieces.
