Datong Town, Acting Prince's Mansion.

At this time, the news of Yanghepo's great victory and the comprehensive retreat of the Warat army has spread all over Datong City, and the acting king Zhu Shiyi is also so excited that he burst into tears.

Therefore, Zhu Shiyi, the acting king, immediately invited Xue Tong, the deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, and Xie Feng, the prefect of Datong, to the mansion to discuss the follow-up of the war.

Acting King Zhu Shiqi said: "The soldiers of Yanzhou Town fought bloodily, beheaded tens of thousands of Tartars, and severely damaged the Warat army, which is really gratifying!" Mr. Liu is also the savior of us, and we should say something about it! ”

In this regard, Xie Feng, the prefect of Datong, immediately said that he would obey the wishes of the acting king Zhu Shiyan, and immediately after returning to collect money and grain from the treasury to reward the soldiers of Yanzhou Town.

And the deputy chief soldier Xue Tong didn't have to say, if there was no Yanzhou Town soldiers and horses to come to help in time, not to mention the loss of Datong Town, he would have been in a different place a long time ago, and it is impossible to say it at this time.

So Xue Tong said: "What the acting king said is true, the last general will also obey the will of the acting king, and the doctors and supplies in the city will all be given priority to the soldiers of Yanzhou Town, and I will go back to arrange it." ”

Acting King Zhu Shiyan was very satisfied with the answers of the two, so he said: "Hehe, since the two of them are so reasonable, then the king also wants to say that early tomorrow morning, this king will give out 200,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stones of grain, but you also need to ask Deputy General Xue to help send it to the camp in Yanzhou Town!" ”

Xue Tong and Xie Feng were secretly surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect that the acting king would be so bold and teach Liu Juntao, the chief soldier of Yanzhou Town, so well.

However, the two of them were relieved when they thought about it, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town won a complete victory in this battle, although the Wara army was still hovering north of Datong Town, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that sooner or later they would have to withdraw their troops to the north, and at this time there was no ability to go south.

After such a huge military achievement, the imperial court will definitely reward Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, and now Liu Juntao is already the chief military officer of Yanzhou Town, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to be promoted to the official position, but the imperial court is very likely to give him a knighthood!

At that time, there will be one more martial artist in the Ming court!

Although the acting king Zhu Shiqi is a clan, he does not have any real power in the court, and he has just inherited the throne, so he is good friends with Liu Juntao at this time, there are only benefits, no harm.

It didn't take long for Xue Tong to come out of the Acting Palace, and after separating from the prefect Xie Feng, he went straight back to the General Military Mansion and began to mobilize medicines, supplies and other materials in the city.

Early the next morning, Xue Tong loaded the materials he had allocated and shipped them to the Yanzhou Town Soldiers and Horses Camp in the north of Datong Town, together with the 200,000 taels of silver and 50,000 stone of grain prepared by Zhu Shiyi, the acting king.

At this time, the Great Khan of Warat had already led his army to retreat 20 miles and camped in the wilderness more than 30 miles away from the town of Datong.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao also led the army to catch up, and set up camp twenty miles away from Datong Town, completely blocking the passage to Datong Town in the south, and confronted the Wara army.

At this time of this battle, the Great Khan of Warat also mobilized 250,000 troops to the south, but after several fierce battles, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost.

Liu Juntao knew in his heart that at this time, he no longer had the ability to continue the attack, and the initiative on the battlefield was firmly in his hands.

However, Liu Juntao was not carried away by the victory in front of him, and understood that although he had won a great victory, the Wara army still had hundreds of thousands of troops, and its strength was still not to be underestimated.

After setting up the big camp, Liu Juntao arranged the pioneer camp, front camp, rear camp, right camp, and middle army camp in Yanzhou Town, with the pioneer camp as the arrow, the front camp and the right camp were separated from the two wings, the middle army camp was between the three battalions, and the rear camp was encamped in the rear of the army.

The Iron Cavalry, on the other hand, had "no fixed residence", maneuvering between Baishan Mountain and Lei Gong Mountain, closely monitoring the movements of the Warat army.

In this way, more than 70,000 soldiers of Yanzhou Town are like an iron wall, perfectly protecting Datong Town.

Moreover, since the beginning of the war, the military department and the household department have begun to continuously transport grain, grass, and supplies to the front line, which has also continued to prepare money and grain for Yanzhou Town, so tens of thousands of soldiers in Yanzhou Town have no worries about food and clothing, and they can confront each other for a long time.

Although the military equipment provided by the military department is also excellent, Liu Juntao is not eye-catching, so Liu Juntao gave all the military equipment provided by the military department to Xue Tong, the deputy chief soldier of Datong Town, so that the generals of Datong Town are grateful, and the soldiers of the two towns can be said to be like a family.

On the other hand, the Warat side is struggling.

At this time, although Varat was strong, it was only militarily, and the whole Varat was still a slightly closer tribal alliance.

For such a large-scale offensive and defensive battle as the attack on Datong Town, especially the big war has entered the stage of long-term confrontation, Yiwara's national strength will not last long at all!

This is also the reason why the nomadic peoples of the north have always been keen on raiding since ancient times, and few have focused on conquering cities.

Of course, the Hu people like the Khitan and Jin people are no longer simple nomads, but have been sinicized, otherwise they will definitely not have the national strength to go south to compete for the crown.

At this time, the Great Khan of Warat also faced the first difficulties not only the problem of insufficient supplies, but also the problem of instability in the rear after the defeat of the army.

Once the Warat army is defeated and returned in vain, not only will the tribes that have just returned to Warat be separated from morality, but the remnants of the remnants that have not been spoiled will jump out to make trouble, and even the henchmen of the first will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, since the Wara army retreated north, he also ordered the army to strictly guard the camp, and ordered the general Arazhiyuan to lead the army to preside over the defense, and in the face of the continuous provocation of the Ming army's iron cavalry, the Wara soldiers and horses never fought back.

The two of them continued to send their henchmen back to the grassland, and the military posture of the generals was captured and given to some tribes in the rear as a reward, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people inside the war.

At the same time, he also held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to mobilize some troops and horses from the rear to the south.

I still want to continue to fight in my heart, even if I can't beat Datong Town, I will also hit Yanzhou Town's soldiers and horses, and only by playing some records will it end first!

However, to the great disappointment of Yexian and the king of Saikan, the nobles and tribal leaders in Warat were smiling in the face of the reward, but as soon as they heard the order to recruit soldiers and horses to continue south, they all began to delay and delay.

"Great Khan, it looks like we don't have any reinforcements anymore!"

Ye Xian's face was also very ugly, and after a long silence, he said: "Then let's hold on for a while and see if Liu Juntao will take the enemy lightly." After all, we still have more than 100,000 troops in our hands, and there is still something to be done in this battle! ”

Seeing that he still refused to give up, the king of Saikan sighed slightly in his heart and said: "Great Khan, our army has shown a decline in this battle, in my opinion, it is better to stop here, it is better for us to rush back to stabilize the rear." ”

At this time, Ye Xian's face was cloudy, and his heart was even more hesitant, and after a long time, he said: "Let me think about it, let me think about it!" ”

"Great Khan, time is running out! If only ......"

"That's it!"

He also immediately interrupted the king of the competition and said: "There is no need to say anything more about this matter, wait for Ben Khan to think about it carefully before making a decision!" ”

Yanzhou Town Soldiers and Horses Battalion.

Liu Zi'an came to the Chinese army's tent with a piece of information, and said to Liu Juntao, who was studying the situation: "Zongzhen, this is the news sent by the Iron Cavalry, and the Wara army has always avoided fighting and doesn't know what they are planning. ”

Liu Juntao withdrew his gaze from the map on the table, and said with a smile: "What else can you plan?" Now it's a dilemma, and it's hard to ride a tiger! I want to continue fighting, but I am worried that I will not win; I want to go back, but I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public! ”

Liu Zi'an also laughed when he heard this, and said, "Then how will our army deal with it next?" ”

"Tell the soldiers of all battalions that the enemy will not move, and I will not move! Let's stay here, and the drills of each battalion can't be stopped, so it's a real combat drill! ”
