Chapter 417, The Fall of the Eagle (I)

With the continuous arrival of good news, the entire capital fell into a sea of celebration.

Everyone kept running around the streets and alleys to tell each other, and the good news quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

"Da Ming will win!"

Such shouts continued to sound, one after another, one after another, like the side of a wave, constantly reverberating.

From the streets and alleys of the capital to the depths of the palace in the capital, and then from the depths of the palace back to the streets and alleys of the capital, countless people shouted together and shouted happily.

They firmly believe that the Ming Dynasty will win.

But before we heard the exact news, everyone was still worried.

Now one after another good news came, the three armies blossomed together, and each army killed tens of thousands of enemies, which was an unprecedented victory, and the stones that everyone was hanging on were also put down heavily.

At this moment, the belief that Daming will win is firmer, and everyone's shouts are louder.

"Sure enough, money is the most powerful source of power, the most incredible thing!"

In Liu Jin's house, Liu Jin also knew the news for the first time, and the whole person looked at the map of Daming and couldn't help but think so.

In Liu Jin's view, with the current situation of the Ming army, it is almost impossible to win this battle, and the only way may be so, that is, to use money to stimulate, and only white money can turn things around.

"I don't know if I can catch that little prince this time."

Liu Jin calculated slightly, these three road armies all blossomed, the east road army killed 25,000 enemies, the west road 20,000, and the south road 30,000, which is almost 80,000.

The little prince went south this time, claiming to be a million army, but in fact there were only 120,000, most of which were temporarily recruited from the herdsmen, and the real elite soldiers, who were subordinate to Dayan Khan's own command, were only less than 20,000.

The three armies of the Ming Dynasty blossomed together, killing almost 80,000 enemies, if there was no water in them, it meant that the main force of the little prince who went south this time had been wiped out, and there were only less than 40,000 men and horses left.

If the three-way army can quickly encircle and surround the little prince's 40,000 horses, maybe it is really possible to capture the little prince alive.

In fact, at this time, the little prince was just as Liu Jin expected, and fell into the place of life and death.

In the golden tent of the little prince Dayan Khan, the little prince listened to the report of his subordinates, and his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

"The Ming army of Hukou Pass was captured by the Ming army~"

"Sunit was completely annihilated by the Ming army~"

"Hani was completely wiped out by the Ming army~"

"In the south, the 30,000 army led by his most beloved son was also completely annihilated, and even his son did not escape."

Is this still the Ming army in his cognition?

He couldn't believe all this, and ordered several messengers to be killed one after another.

"What the hell is going on?"

Dayan Khan looked at his subordinates in the Golden Horde, his eyes were glazed, it was just a blink of an eye, and the 80,000 troops he brought were gone?

There was deathly silence in the Golden Horde, and the men and horses of the headquarters under the command of Dayan Khan himself had not yet met the Ming army, and everyone had not yet figured out what was going on.

But when this bad news came, coupled with the messengers that Dayan Khan was angry and cut off one after another, everyone was silent, and no one dared to speak at this time.

"Great Khan, let's retreat to the steppe first."

For a long time, Dayan Khan's most important general, Altan, said.

At this time, if they continue to stay in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is very likely that they will not be able to go back, and the three-way army of the Ming army will definitely be surrounding the men and horses of Dayan Khan's headquarters at this moment.

Once the three-way army is encircled, even if the headquarters is elite and powerful, who can know what is going on with these Ming troops, all of a sudden, just like the messenger said, like a demon from hell, terrifying.

"Withdraw?"

Dayan Khan was like a gambler who had lost a bet, his eyes turned blood-red, and his gaze suddenly looked at Altan.

He was unwilling, originally this time the southward journey was very smooth, and he successfully opened the gap from the Hukou Pass and smoothly entered the Huahua world in the Central Plains.

In this world of flowers, they wantonly burn and loot, enjoying the fruits of victory.

Dayan Khan even wants to point the sword at the heart of the Ming Dynasty, he has long heard of the prosperity and wealth of the Ming Dynasty, if he can take the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there will be countless wealth, and even he can regain the glory of the year, and re-enter the Central Plains land like a flower.

However, they haven't enjoyed enough yet, and they haven't snapped up yet, just in the blink of an eye, the 80,000 army they brought out is gone.

Go back now?

Tadayan Khan will be swept away in majesty, and the next time he goes south, not only will he not loot enough supplies and let everyone enjoy the fruits of victory, but he will lose his troops and suffer heavy losses.

The prestige that Tadayan Khan had built up so hard would be gone in an instant, and without this army of 80,000, what should he do to rule the vast steppe.

When the time comes, it will be difficult to say whether these tribes under his command will listen to their own words.

But if you don't withdraw, continue to fight the Ming army here to the end, the remaining 40,000 headquarters people may all be left here, and no one knows what is going on with these Ming troops.

In the past, he was weak like a lamb, and he only dared to hide on the high city walls, and he did not dare to go out to fight in the field at all.

But this time, they dared to come out to fight, and what was even more incredible was that they even won the battle and ate the 80,000 troops under their command, what happened?

Soon, Dayan Khan regained his composure.

He knew that it was useless to be angry or unwilling now, and what happened could not be changed, but the future could still be in his own hands.

It had to be withdrawn.

This is the best and wisest choice.

He also has 40,000 elite men and horses in his headquarters, this is the people and horses of his own tribe, as long as he has these 40,000 elite men and horses in hand, back to the grassland, he is still the eagle on the grassland, and he is still the Dayan Khan admired by everyone.

If you continue to fight here, the people and horses of the headquarters will lose their troops and lose heavy losses, then the grassland will be turbulent, and these tribes under your hands will inevitably disobey their rule, plus there is also a sworn enemy Wara, even if they return to the grassland, it will be difficult to have a good life.

"Withdraw~"

"Evacuate to Hukou Pass~"

Dayan Khan coldly gave the order.

When the generals in the Golden Tent heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then they left one after another, and began to arrange for their respective commanders to prepare for evacuation.

However, the time of people is very simple and easy, and this evacuation is quite troublesome, because at this moment, from Dayan Khan to every ordinary steppe person, everyone has a lot of loot.

Dayan Khan's men presented Dayan Khan with cartloads of gold, silver, jewelry, curiosities, and a huge number of beauties from the Central Plains; Ordinary steppe people, originally one person and two war horses, at this time one war horse rode by itself, and the other war horse was full of trophies.

There are their favorite iron pots, as well as the food they need most for the winter, as well as tea, salt, cloth, etc., as long as they can be useful, they all grab, and they are ready to take back to the grassland, and they are piled very high on the war horses, very high, and even some grassland people have grabbed beautiful women, and they also want to bring back to the grassland.

Because of the drag of these things, the evacuation speed of the 40,000 horses in Dayan Khan's headquarters became quite slow, coming and going like the wind, and this time it was as slow as a snail, although the leaders above had repeatedly emphasized that they should give up some things as much as possible.

But no one paid any attention to it, because these chiefs also had a lot of things, and the wagons were full of the spoils of these chiefs, and these chiefs were equally reluctant, and they were equally reluctant.

The entire evacuation team became slow, with no efficiency or speed, and could not advance many kilometers in a day.

On the other side, the three-way army of the Ming army was in a hurry day and night, and some of them grabbed the Tartar war horses, and they rode horses directly, and rode horses galloping towards Dayan Khan's headquarters to pursue them.

Those who did not have horses to run away were also very fast, and they were scrambling for the first place, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, because everyone wanted to kill more tartars and get more silver.

One hundred taels of silver for a tartar head, if you miss such a good opportunity, you won't want it in the future.

Some people have killed several Tartars and earned hundreds of taels of silver, but it is still not enough, and some people have not killed a single Tartar, and their eyes are red, and they can't wait to grow wings to catch up with the men and horses of Dayan Khan's headquarters.

Even if they were people who did not have war horses, they also worked tirelessly, and the men and horses of Dayan Khan's headquarters, who were constantly pursued, rushed to be the first, for fear of losing.

In just a few days, the vanguard troops of the east, west and south armies have already been together, and they have already bitten the men and horses of Dayan Khan's headquarters, following like a shadow, quietly waiting for the final decisive moment to come.
