Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming army in Yanzhou town and the Wara army have been facing each other for six days, during which the general Zhou Zongsheng led the officers and soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army to constantly harass the camps of the Wara army, and at the same time, the night of the Ming army's battalions is not collected, and the sentry cavalry is also constantly approaching to investigate, but the Wara army has never had the intention of counterattacking.

Under the strict orders of the Great Khan of Warat, more than 100,000 Warat troops stood still in the camp for several miles, which made the Ming soldiers very angry.

In this regard, Liu Juntao also convened the commanders of the battalions and instructed the generals to guard against arrogance and rashness, and since they were also prepared to spend in the area of Baishan Mountain and Lei Gong Mountain, they would accompany them to the end.

Liu Juntao never believed that with the national strength of Warat, hundreds of thousands of Warat troops could be stationed here endlessly.

As long as it takes a long time, the first one who can't hold on must be the Warat side!

You know, at this time the Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty experienced the defeat of the Civil Fort, as well as the defense of Beijing and other wars, but in addition to the North, the entire Ming Dynasty is still smooth, the Ming Dynasty is still in a steady stream of money, food and manpower!

With such national strength, Liu Juntao can lead tens of thousands of troops to garrison Baishan Mountain and Leigong Mountain for a year, two years, or even a few years!

And Warat definitely does not have such national strength.

At the same time, Liu Juntao is also waiting for the chaos to occur within Warat.

Liu Juntao is very aware of the fragile relationship between the various tribes within Warat, as long as the news of the defeat in the Battle of Datong Town is transmitted back to the grassland, there will definitely be changes in Warat, and then he can lead the army to attack!

However, these all take time, and it just so happens that Liu Juntao has time at this time.

During this period, Liu Juntao also received money, grain, baggage, and many materials for the army sent by the acting king, Datong Mansion, and Datong Town.

Liu Juntao also accepted all of them, and sent people to express his gratitude to the Acting Wangfu, Datong Mansion, and Datong Town one by one, and said that he and the soldiers of the whole army would continue to fight until the Wara army was defeated and returned to the grassland.

In the next few days, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also sent someone to send the news: Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, Cao Jixiang, the eunuch Cao Jixiang, and the supervisor of the imperial history, Xu Youzhen, all began to spread the news that Liu Juntao supported the army without fighting.

However, Yu Qian also mentioned in the letter that the Ministry of War had already explained to Emperor Jingtai and reported the situation faced by Liu Juntao's department to Emperor Jingtai in detail at this time, stating that it must not be easy to attack at this time, so as not to be seized by the Wara army to turn defeat into victory.

"So far, the Holy Lord still has not supported the request of the Imperial Historian, nor has he paid attention to the discussions of the Right Governor and others, General Liu can continue to fight steadily, and the affairs of the court and the central government should be handled by me with all my might!"

After reading the letter, Liu Juntao was also angry in his heart, now the civil officials in the court are far from controlling the government, far from the power of the late Ming Dynasty in later generations, they dare to meddle in the military and politics, and criticize the strategy of his own front-line general, it is really shameless!

Moreover, that Shi Heng was originally a martial artist, but for his own selfishness, he colluded with the eunuch Cao Jixiang and a group of civil officials, and repeatedly embarrassed himself, he was really a villain and a traitor!

Liu Juntao scolded Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, Xu Youzhen, and a group of imperial historians in his heart, and made up his mind in his heart that as long as he gains power in the future, he will eradicate these traitors and villains one by one!

However, now that Liu Juntao also understood the priority of the matter, he breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down the anger in his heart, and concentrated on dealing with the current military situation.

Although Liu Juntao has made up his mind to confront the Warat army, it does not mean that he will do nothing.

Sooner or later, he would lead the army to retreat, but it was only a matter of time, so Liu Juntao began to deploy preparations for the pursuit of the army.

First of all, Liu Juntao secretly mobilized the soldiers of the front and rear battalions of Yanzhou Town to make a detour to the area of Baishan Mountain and Leigong Mountain, and rushed to the back of the Wara army to ambush, preparing to block the retreat of the Wara army.

After receiving the order, the staff general Sun Xu and the staff general Yan Hu took advantage of the night to lead the army, and the two marched separately to the east and west.

Staff General Sun Xu led the front battalion of Yanzhou Town from the foothills of Leigong Mountain to the north, and General Yan Hu led the rear camp of Yanzhou Town to march north from the foothills of Baishan Mountain.

After that, Liu Juntao ordered the general Zhou Zongsheng to continue the attack, and led the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army to constantly harass the various departments of Warat, so that they "slept day and night, and were not alarmed day and night", so as to achieve the goal of exhausting the enemy army.

And the main forces of the remaining battalions also secretly began to rectify under Liu Juntao's orders, ready to go out to pursue at any time.

After everything was arranged, Liu Juntao let out a sigh of relief and said secretly in his heart; "The rest is to wait!"

At the same time that Liu Juntao was secretly preparing, Warat Khan was already frightened three times a day and couldn't sleep at night.

During this period of time, they also continued to receive news from the rear, and at this time, the various departments of Warat had successively learned the news of the defeat at the front, and many tribes began to move, and even some small tribes that were annexed by Warat began to plan a rebellion.

This can be said to be bad news for Yexian, and it is also a heavy blow to the army of hundreds of thousands of Warat!

At this time, I also knew in my heart that there was no need to fight this battle anymore, and what I should do was how to bring the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops back to the grassland safely!

Moreover, it is necessary to lead the army north as soon as possible, otherwise once there is a rebellion on the grassland, it is very likely to form a prairie fire, and the country that has been worked hard to build will be destroyed in an instant.

However, will the Ming army let the Warat army retreat in peace?

I also knew in my heart first: Maybe other Ming generals will accept it when they see it, but Liu Juntao will definitely lead the army to pursue!

When the time comes, if one is not careful, the retreat will turn into a rout.

As soon as he thought of this, Warat Khan also broke out in a cold sweat first, as if he saw the situation of more than 100,000 troops falling apart.

So, for a few days, he secretly discussed with the general Arazhiyuan and the king of Saikan, and the three of them continued to deduce the retreat of the army.

After some discussion, the three decided: since the Ming army will definitely launch a pursuit, then only a strong man can break his wrist, leaving a group of soldiers and horses to block the attack, and the army quickly rushed north back to the grassland.

Most of the soldiers and horses of the Wara army were iron horses, and if they really wanted to rush back, the Ming army would not be able to catch up.

However, when it was specifically discussed which part should be blocked, there was a serious disagreement between Yexian, the Abbey Academy, and the Saikan Wang.

The Abbey advocated that the elite should be left behind, because only the elite soldiers and horses had the ability to block tens of thousands of powerful Yanzhou Town soldiers and horses, otherwise the rest of the partial divisions would not be able to block at all.

Of course, he was unwilling to leave his core forces, so he advocated leaving the soldiers and horses of the Uliangha, Jurchen and other Shun tribes, so as to further consume the strength of these tribes who were not of the same heart as Warat.

Seeing that the two disagreed, the king of Saikan advocated a compromise and led a group of soldiers and horses from the Shun tribe to stay and block the Ming army from going north.

The three of them argued for two whole days, during which the general Zhou Zongsheng continued to lead his troops to attack, making the various departments of Warat miserable.

Even the most arrogant time, the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Army actually passed through several Warat military camps, and rushed to a place three miles away from the Warat Central Army camp, so frightened that they hurriedly mobilized troops and horses to intercept them.

Zhou Zongsheng saw that the Warat army began to move, so he turned to the east and led his troops away.

Since then, the morale of the Warat tribes has become more and more low.

In the face of the grim situation, he could only take the advice of the king of Saikan, preparing to leave 2,000 elite soldiers, and then 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Guishun tribe, so that the 12,000 troops could be stationed in the Chinese army camp, and the remaining 100,000 main forces would retreat north two days later.

Once everything was settled, the various departments of Warat began to prepare.

However, the general Arazhiyuan was full of worries, because the Arazhiyuan understood that the 12,000 soldiers and horses could not resist the attack of the Ming army at all, and they could not buy much time, and they could not work at all.

However, at this time, after the battle of Yang and Po, the Arazhiyuan was already a little disheartened, and he sighed and stopped arguing.
